Niothing of public interest occurred to-dav in this Court. In the Court of Peculiars the counsel wecre occupied all day in reading a part of the very voluminous evidence in a cause of office for brawling in church, entitled THfE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROIOTED STY PALMEH V. ROF FEY. The scene of the transactions in this case was the church of St. MIary, Newington, when the pardes on a particular occasion, happening to be at great enmity, proceeded to abuse and de- ninciation of each other of the most outrageous desription. As the whole of the evidence was not opened, we are not in possession of all the factc; but purpose to give a succinct statement of them in Gur re- port of the proceedings at the next court.

Perhaps no part of the administration of justice in this country stands more in inccd of amend(menit tlaan that whicl relates to the trial of persons charged witlh the commission of crinminal offenecs " on the high- sea, WiLhill the jlrisdic- " tion of the Admiralty of England,' as the legal phrase is. TIhe party thus accused can only be brought to trial at the Admiralty Session, which is hel(d at the OldBailcy, il London, on ani average about thrice in two years: the reason assigned for tlhcir being so ttlfrequent, is the expense atteniding the holding a session, whiclh is sai(d to be five hun(drcd pounids. The results, however, of this delay, so uncongenial witlh at least the crimieal jurisprudenec of Etnglanid, are somrsetimes truly scrious. Various instances have occurred of scamnen charged with stcaling to the amountit only of a few shillings, wlho have lain many montlhs in prison, and( at leingtlh the Granid Jury have found( no bill against thcm, in conscequeniec of the absenec of witnesses, whio, being commonly sea-faring people, are of course unl- able to remain on shore for the purpose of giving evidence. Cases of manlslauglhter or alleged murder occasionally hal)- pen during a voyage; and it may be, an honiest sailor, whose misfortune it has been to have given offeince to a ty- rannical commalnder, after having been confined in irons on board ship for many weeks, is, on arriviig in England, thrust within the dreary walls of Newgate, there to spend half a-year, or inore, in idliness-thie associate of accomn- plishc(l higlhwaynmen, housebreakere, and pickpockets. Should he leave his prisoni-lhouse no worse a character than wlhen he cntcrc(l it, lic may fairly be deemced a moral mniracle. Tiherc appears to exist no very obvious advanlage in Jiay- ing a pceuliar tribunal appropriated to the trial of crimes committed on thc seas. Why cannot suclh be as well deter- mined at the sessions or assizes held for the place wlhere the ship may arrive bringing home the offender ? A coiI- siderable saving of the public money would thereby be ef- fected, and a j tdicial decision upoII the imerits -of the case be afforded, without the unnecessary delay of thIe present form of procecding.

The Supremc Council of La Camnra has just published the regua lationis prescribed by the King, relative to Ecclesiastics who have belonged to the sec. et societics, or who have caused themselves to be remarked by their impiety, and the Exa ltation. " 1. Theteclesiastics are comprised,as well as the otlersubjects of His Majesty, in the decree of Amnesty of lay 1, this year. In con- sequence, tlcy enjoy a remission of thc corporal, civil, and pecuniary penalties which they may havc incurred by their conduct during the soi-disant Constitutionial Government. " 2. Thosc who are confined, or brought before the tribunals, may, therefore, claim their liberty, confbormably to the dispositiont of the Royal ordinance of the 13th of June last. " 3. The said Ecclesiastics. however, cannot claim the prebends, liviigs, or benefices wlich they held. Their representations shal lk lamd before the Bislhops of their dioceses, who shall decide upon them according to the canons of the Church. " 4. It is also for the Bishops to cause the revenues of the Pre- bendaries, Beneficiaries, andl others, who have fled, to be sequestrat- ed. The Catnara will, in the sequel, make an arrangenment with the Caimse d'Amortisscetent to deposit in it the funds sequestrated." A Royal decree fixes the mode of election of the Alcaldes antd other municipal officers; a triple list is to be laid before his Ala- jesty, for his approbation ; no one shall henceforth be chosen Regidor in towns of the first class, unlessl he has an annual sevenue of 1,000 piasters (5,000 francs.)
