The Paris journals of Sunday arrived last night. The most im- portant feature of their contents-the discussion in thc Chamber of Deputieson Saturday relative to the reduction of the five per cents._- was described in our paper of yesterday : but there occurred in the sante sitting a proceeding which deserves to be briefly noticed. A report wvas made on two petitions from a Sieur DELOS CLE, of Bor. deaux, who prayed, Ist, that a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mlary, and corsecrated to Madame the Duchess of Angoulex e, should be built; 2d, that in the celebration of marriage, the religious cere. niony of the Church should precede that which takes place before the civil magistrate. The committee proposed the order of the day on both petitions, and this recommendation was readily adopted with reeard to the first. On the second,bowever,some discussion arose: All. de BLAN GY moved that the petitionibereferred tothe Minister of the Intexior; and Al. REBOUL, that it also be referred to the Bureau des Renseignments. Al. MECicHi and Ill. de GI RARDIX objecte4 to these references. The former observed, that the decision of the Chamber might induce some persons to consider the religious cere- mony sufficient. and to neglect the civil contract, which would probably occasion much trouble and confusion in families. The latter resisted the references, on the ground that the Charter secured liberty of worship to all sects; and as a consequenye of that liberty, the law required that a civil contract should precede any religious ceremony which the parties might chloose to superadd. He deprecated the alarm whiclh would be the resiult of the Chamber showing a dis- position to favour petitions of this description. These objections were received with tiiurmurs; a motion for passing to the order of tite day was rejected by a great majority; and the references proposed byMA1. BLAN-GY and RE1OUL ordered. LONDON.

in tluls case a bill was filed by the plaintiff, the Reverend H. B. Owen, as rector of St. Olavc's, Hlart-street, to enfoice the payment of tithes by the defendant, in respect of his house in Crutched- fin.ts. The plaintid by this bill claimed 2s. 9d. in the pound upon the rent or value of the defendant's uremises, under a decree made in pursuance of an act of Parliament; passed in the 37th year of the reign of Henry VIII.; but if that title failed him, in consequencc of the non-enrilment of the decree, as objected by the defendant, he then claimed 3s. 5d. in the pound, under the 27th of Henry VII I.; and if that title also falled, he then founded his claim upon the custom and usage, which had existedI from timie inmorial before the passing of those acts, of certain sums of money, in the nature of oblations or offeriags, being paid on certain days in the year by the parishioners to the incumbent. The bill, after going on to state the Period for which the defendant owed tithes, concluded by prayinz that he might be called on to account, &c,, in the usual form. To this bill the defendant demurred, on the ground of multifariousness; and that demurrer camine on to bc argued to-day. The Cosm:boN SEIGEANT, Mr. ABEaCitoSIBE, and ir. ROE, appeared in su,'port of the demurrer, and argued that as tie bill contained three different clainis, founded upon diff:rent and distinct titles, all inconsistent with, and destructive of, each other, the defendant ought not to be bound to answer it; for, as it was quite Clear that two oat of the three titles set forth by the plaintiff must be bad, it would be imposing an un- juSt and unnecessary expense and trouble upon the defendant to oblige him to make out a defence to the three cascs instead of one. Air. AlAtTlsN (with whom was Mr. SPENCE) was proceeding to reply in support of the bill, when lie was intemipted brv The CotIRT.-The bill contained substantially but one claim- namely, tithestdue in respectof the defendant's house, althouigh the plaintiff hal set forth the diff'ercnt grounds upon which he con- ceived that claim might be foutded. A demurrer for multifatious- ness could only be sustained where the plaintiff'sued different per- sonS on different rights in one bill. So far from imposing additional expense upon the defendant, by including each of the several POs- sible titles he might have to the tithes in q4ucstion in one bin, Uhead in point of fact adepted the Icast expenstie course, by refrainibg from filing three separate bills; vrhichi, if the a unnents in support of the demurrer were well founded, hc must otiherwise have done. Their lordships were clearly ef opinion, therefore. that thedemurrer must be overruled. This decision leaves the case precisely in the same situation as be- fore the demurrer was taken, as the ilefenidant will now have to plead to the bill. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. SATURDAY. MAY 22.

Morart s elo%t p _a, cffozze deFigaro, WM ' last iight per. tormed, for the beneEft of Bladame Catalani. lt swa s a benefit in every respect worthy of her extraordinary talents. T 'he house was excesively crowded, and presented 3 most animated and brilliant appearance. madame Catalani sustained tbe charact er of the arch and lively Swanna. Someyears have passed away siD iCe we last had the pleasure of seeing ber iu this part; but she playeti it, we think, with as much naivetc and spirit as ever. There is au easy buoy- anng-a playful grace-about her performance, that is absolutely enchanting. On euch an occasion as tnis, she would of course put forth all ber powers of pleasing. She did so, and her wrery efrort met thedue meed of applaute. She sang the varied and beautiful music of the part in a most captivating style. Encore followed encore ni merci. less succession. In the course of the evening she introduced a po- pular air of Mozart's, with difficult variatons by Paer, which she executed very beautifully. The running passages were given with astonish ng rapidity, but at the same time with the utmost clearness and precision. The Canisters was represented by adame Ronsi del BJ3egnis. Her lady-like and elegant demeanour were oerfectlv in unison with she character. 'he tender and lamenting airs which areallotted to the deserted Cou ntesg, lostnothing of their delicacyand sweetnessby herexecution. Theyweregiven with apathos and feeline which thrilledthrougb theheart. The air" Dovesoiw i bel rnome:tilI calledforthastrongandgeieralmanifestationofdelight. Itwasdistin. guishedby a plaintive simplicity, which, more tan the words, told a taleofill-requited affection. Tkeduo with Madame Catalani, "ceeni zonette sul aria," was consunmmately beautful. Tle characterof the Pagc was sustained by Madame Biagioli very prettily. Her acting was airy and pleasant t and her singmg evinced purity of taste. Her fears, however, had evidently an effect upon her vocal powers, and preyentod her from throwing out her tones with the boldness and de-. cision which are necessary in so very large a theatre. Her execution of " Voi che sapete" was, notwithstanding this drawback, highly creditable to her musical talents. Signor de Begnis was a plea. sant and vivacious Figaro. He gave the weU-known and .ustly- admired air, " Non pin andrai," witb much humour, and great mu. sical effect: it was encored. The Coztnt Alnaviva was supported by Signor Porto. This gentleman certainly does not, by lis out, ward show, give us any idea of' the gay and gallant noblcman, and, as asinger, hi5s ty]eis of.too solemn and heavy ,e character tr do justice to the greater part of' the music. He makes love Vo'ty inldif. firently. In the scenesl of rage and iealousv he is mort- at horne. I I XMO'TREV1ATRE.

His report was laid before Mr' Peel, who, without delay, eommunicated it to the King, and in consequence of the 'favourable eircumstances in th'eprisoner's case,His Maj esty was most graciously pleased to command a pardon to be instantly prepared. This was accordingly done, antl Mr. Robinson was liseharged from Newgate yesterday.

The obstruetion offered to passengers through Si- James's Parl:, on the plea. of some new official crder issued to the sentries, is becoming a grievance of no small mag.nitude. It appears that even if a gentleman has papers in his hand, Dr a la(ly that foolish but inmoxious arLicle, called a reticule, they are actually told by the Guards, that they " must not " go through the Park r" We challenge any hanger-on of the Horse Guards or the Palaces, to coiue forward and- con- fesshimself the autbor of sucb a regulation. It is utterly impossible, if E3igland be not turned upside down, that gn hindrance so offensive, so uselcF2, and so cliiidish, could bave cotne within the spirit of ari- order countenanced by any grown man or woman, vwho was duly empowvered to meddle with the management of these great public accomr modations, so long and peaeeably enjoyed by the inhabi- tants of London, and so necessary to their comfort and theiY I health. If a packet ef papers be inadmissible, then of- ficial papers tiel in parcels, or enclosed in boxes, miay be refused admittance;, for the sentry may not be "i scholar" enough to read, and m.ust not take the word of a messeu- ger whose person is unknown to him. Again-is an um- brella a prohibited article? or a lady's parasol? or a shawl carried in the hanrd on a hot day ? We have the charity to believe that the nuisance has arisen fromn misin- terpretation, by some blockhead, of the commands of his superior, if indeed persons of superior rank ever trouble themselves with matters of such pitiCul detail ; and tIrat now the impertionehec is made known through the news- papers, immedliate redress will be afforded. At all events, we have a right to ascertain who it is that has thus wan- tonly interfered with the innoceiit pleasures, and essen- tial communicattonis of our fellow-citizens.

TO THE EDITOR OF THlE TIMES. Sir,-The following is a case of great distress, arising out of the depres8ion of landed property. The father, aged 70, his son, who has a wife and seven children, and his two sons-in-la,v, who have eight children, making together 15 children, have been committed for con. tempt of Court-the father for not appearing, and the son and two sons-in-law for not putting in their answers to a bill of foreclosure filed by a mortgagee. In consequence of the tenant failing. and the land becoming unoccupied, they were unable to pay the'interest. Thc defendants having been committed to this prison on the 23d of June last, are in tbe greatest possible distress; the son having caught the small-pox, is now in the infirmary, though vaccinated 19 yearsago. Oneof tne sonJ-in-law hasbeen seized with an inflammation in the bowels, and is now very feverish; while one of the children of the other son-in-law is dying with an inflammation at the chest. Dr. Clutterbuck, of Bridge-street, has most humanely attended them, and furnished them with medicines gratuitoasly. Contemplate, Sir, the aged father, 3 score years and ten, with his son, and two sons-in-law, in prison, without fbod, their patrimonial estate sunk aDd Iying xvaste. I trust the benevolence of the British public will be extended to them. In the exercise of this virtte con- sists the perfection of the Christian character. I am. Sir. vftlr h-rnhTh e-- A. B.

There are no new facts from Ireland relative to the pro. secution against Mr.O'CoNNELL, except the single Circum- stance of the Crown Solicitor having formally refused a copy of the information for the learned, gentleman's use. Vhiatever the rigorous letter of the law may allow, we must have our own opinion its to the constitutional spirit of such a proceeding, and as to its -beneficial influence on pub- lic justice. The person.ascused is thereby kept in positive ignorance of- the crime-alleged against him. WVc re'ad in a morning papea of vestcrday that the arrest of O'CONNELL may have been aesigned-as a warning to his tfllowers, or perhaps asa hirit to the learned leader of the Catholic body, to- abate-a jot.or two of his violence, and offer some profession of'principlea which tight take the sting out of his inlflammatory rTetoric, and compose again the public mind, whi6h the Oraugmem charged him with having ex an appears oh- ive faPed, for O' ONIELL, ingtearof e pW g Away the ' seditious "words' at the; mecting.of.

If he refusel, some ground, at last, w asestablis.. ed for suspecting him a fit subject of prosecution. WMat is the value-df sentiments declared under duress ? We have no doubt that this unlucky measure has been adopted in consequence of the Cabinet determinationw,liicb was hinted at in our paper of last Wedlnesday se'nnig4t--namely, that of endeavouring.to put down the Catholic 'Lasders by some enforcement of the law. There are mrembers, of the Ca. binet, we fear, who would be for putting down,at all events but voauld be more anxious f6r the end than scrupulous about the instruments.
