EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT THE PUSEF IT , £ CHURCH OF ST . BARNABAS ' PlilLICO .
Ascene of an extraordinary character , calculated to create great alarm and excitement , took place on Sunday , daring morning service , at the recentlyerected Protestant Church of St . Barnabas , Pimlico , at which principles and practices having an affinity to Romanism prevail . In consequence of some attempt to interrupt divine service on the P " ™ ? Sunday , and there being some apprehension that tne congregation might be disturbed , or a breach of the peace committed , Sergeant Loom , a very intelligent officer ot the B division , and two or three constables under him , the whole being in plain clothes , were placed in the church previous to the commencement Of thB morning service . The sittings being all filled ,
the church doors were closed , and in a few minutes aft erwards , a well-dressed man was seen to leave by one of the side doors in Church-street between which and the street there is a small court-yard or mace opening into the thoroughfare by a door in a Clone wall , thelatter of which the person who quitted the edifice left open . There is every reason to believe'that the scene that almost immediately followed ^ as premeditated . __ The stranger had scarcely left the building five minutes , when a loud shouting and yelling , with the clamour of many voices , was heard ty those within the sacred edifice , and Sergeant jjo ota and his men rnshed out by the door the stranger had taken , and by dint of great personal activity , favoured by the position of the entrance ,
succeeded in preventing an attack upon the church until the arrival of a large party of the police . Upon the sergeant first issuing from the church with his men he found that some half dozen of a mob of nearly 200 had entered the door before spo '; en of into the Space between that and the church , when , by a most determined effort , they succeeded in closing the outer door , and thus separating those who had entered from the main body , amidst the cries of * ' "We'll have no popery—down with the churchbreak-the door open , " and suchlike exclamations . The few persons who bad entered as described retreated over the stone wall upon finding the rest of the party cnt off , and the crowd increased momentarilvuntil the arrival of Inspector Camming , of the
5 division , who was upon the ground within a few minutes with a small parly of men ; immediately followed by Mr . Russell , the superintendent of the division , with a fresh body of constables . At this time the mob most have numbered very near a thousand , and consisted of a vast number of gentlemen and well dressed persons , the amount being made up by others belonging to humbler grades . There was "a very strong feeling manifested by many of the -wrell dressed persons present against the proceedings of St . Barnabas , and it required the exercise of very considerable firmness and moderation on the part of the police to prevent a most serious disturbance . By dint of persuasion and force the vast assemblage , which was such as temporarily to cause much anxiety
for the safety of the congregation and the neighbourhood , was , with the exception of one person who was eaptared . dispersed . On Monday , a young man , respectably dressed , ¦ who gave the name of W . Goss , and said he was butler to If . Drammond , Esq ., of No . 2 , Bryanstone square , was bronght up in custody at the Westminster Police Court , charged with disorderly conduct , and attempting to create a disturbance at St . . Barnabas Church on Sunday forenoon . —Inspector Camming , who preferred the charge , described the circumstances above narrated . —The accused said that he was at first charged with creating a disturbance in the street , and that only at the stationhouse were the additions of " endeavour to force his
way into the church , &c , made . The fact was , the floors were shut upon the public , and some gentlemen who came np asked how that was , when the man at the door read a paper of some sort , which he called an authority , but the people laughed at it , declaring it was no authority at all , and the gentlemen forced their way in , followed by a few more , amidst a great noise and uproar . The police were positively mistaken in saying that he ( the defendant ) Sad anything to do with the affair ; he was not near the door , and had never interfered in any way , but was from first to last a quiet spectator of what occurred . —The defendant then called the following ¦ witnesses : Mr . George Freeman , grocer , No . 1 , Bond-street , Belgrave-square , said he was at St .
Barnabas Church , and saw the defendant there , bnt ie did not see him put his leg in between the doors or attempt to force his way into the church , and if he had done so he must have seen him doing it . Be was not committing any breach of the peace , nor doing anything calculated to excite it ; nor did he use any harsh or offensive expression . There might have been between 1 , 000 and 2 , 000 persons present . The persons in the crowd were shonting out . He did not hear any one call out to pull down the doors . Amongst the crowd there was a very great number of highly respectable people . —Mr . John Mitchell , builder , Chester-street : Did not see the defendant put his foot to the door , or attempt to force it open . The defendant was not out of his sisht all the time , and he did not in an v wav misconduct himself . The
man at the door refused to admit those who were near the door , and upon being asked his authority for doing so he produced a warrant , which was read aload . At that moment a great many of the police came up with the inspector . The latter said , * 'Where are yonr staves?—why don't you use them V and the police immediately used their staves and pushed the people away . At that time there were not more than twelve persons near the door in-Eide of the wall which surround the church , and amongst them the defendant was standing . The inspector immediately called out to his men , "Why don ' t you take him away ? " and he was at once seized and used Tery roughly . Witness told them the defendant had not committed any offence , but
they . took him away notwithstanding . He followed him to the station-house , and asked what was the charge against him ? The inspector hesitated for Bome time , and at length said he was charged with disorderly conduct in front of St . Barnabas Church . Witness offered to become bail for him , and got another person to do so likewise . —Mr . Baring , Ironmonger , 3 , Victoria-road , said that he went on Sunday morning to St . Barnabas Church , and got there about five minutes past eleven , and applied for idmission . There were about ten persons oubide at the time , who were refused admission . When they were about to leave , two gentlemen came np and said , " Don't go away—thev can ' t keep you out of the church . " One of them was a nobleman . They
asked by what authority they were prevented from going in . The porter produced a warrant , which was read aloud by one of the gentlemen , and they then forced their way in . Two other gentlemen then came out , who assured him that there was abundant standing but no sitting room in the church . A f » w minutes after that a gentleman got over the wall , and said he was disgusted ; the caadles were lighted , and it was popery in the most malignant form , and that led to the mob crying out , "No popery . " Up to that time 19-20 ths of those present were respectable persons . A boy then came up with a life-preserver swinging in his hand . He called a policeman ' s attention to him , and said it was calculated to excite the breach of the peace . He saw the
defendant there standing quietly by the side of the rails . He left before the defendant was taken into custody . —Mr . Broderip said : I have now heard the whole of the case , and it h quite clear that a very large mob of persons vras present , a proportion of whom were highly respectable , and aportion low characters . The question is , whether the person before me was at all active in leading the mob or doing ^ that only Which he might have a right to do , attempt ing to gab admission into the church . Now it appears from the evidence that there was room inside the church when admittance was refused . I find that all he is ^ charged with is patting hia foot to the door to get in , but a did not do
great many of the witnesses s * ear that he so and , therefore , I do not think it is a case for me to call on the defendant for sureties for his good behaviour and therefore I mustdismiss him . The Queens ¦ place must be preserved , and I am determined to preserve it within this district ; but those persons hare much to answer for and undertake a serious responsibility , who provoke breaches of the peace and excite the " indknation of their fellow snbjects by the exhibition of Romish ceremonies in a Protestant church at such a time as the present . —These expressions were followed by a general burst of enthusiasm , clapping of hand ? , &c ., which was taken up by the persons assembled outside the conrt .

If blindness be an affliction , it surely is an affliction to live in bouses where nearly every chink and crevice which admit the light and air into our
dwellings are " taxed . " "Where darkness predominates dirt accumulates , and as our government taxes the admission of light and air into the dart dwellings of the poor , especially in our crowded cities , it is surely very , very studious in encouraging filth , fever , ruiasm , and malaria , amongst them . By the deprivation of these natural requisites for our existence , the Board of Health , with all its sanitary regulations , stands shackled in its useful progress ; for wherever light and air are wanting In our dwellings , there cholera and contagion with all their attendant destroyers are prone to stalk .

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS . Basihgsiokb , Southampton v . St . Pancras . Mr . Paahley and Mr . Hodges were for the appellants ; Mr . Huddlestone appeared for the respondents . This case would not have deserved mention but for a matter which , though not bearing upon the points m issue , was elicited in the course of the hearing . The appeal was against a lunatic order made in respect of Mary Basing , a pauper , and it was clearly proved , by the evidence of a lady named Lunn , that in the year 1825 or 1826 the pauper acquired a settlement in the appellant parish by a yearly hiring as a servant . —Mr . Pashley said he could not contend against this , but he waa in a position to show that the pauper acquired two
subsequent settlements in other parishes by servitude . He proposed to prove by the evidence of the pauper herself a settlement in the parish of Limehouse . — Mr . Huddlestone asked if the Court would take the evidence of a person who was actually under treatment ; in a lunatic asylum ? The pauper was in conrt , but she was actually in the custody of a keeper , who brought her up by subpoena . —Mr . Pashley said the court would find that the woman was perfectly recovered , the surgeon to the asylum having signified that she was quite sane , and fit to be examined here upon oath . He believed she was now merely detained in the asylum until the question of her settlement was decided . —The learned judce asked if he was to understand that such was
actually the fact ? It was a very serious matter ; if what thelearned counsel said were true , the Court could not receive her evidence . —Mr , Pashley said he could not say positively whether this pauper was ao detained ; but he had known of many instances in which pauper lunatics had been detained in asylums after being pronounced cured , until their settlement was ascertained , because , if discharged before that was arrived at , the party lost all power to claim the expenses of the pauper ' s maintenance . There was no doubt of the pauper ' s having been pronounced sane by the medical officer of the asylum . —The pauper was here brought into Court in the cuBtody of a female officer , who said she was 8 uperintendent of the Grove Hall Asylum , Bow { as
was understood ) , a properly licensed asylum . In answer to the Court she said she did not know that the patient had been declared cured . —The learned judge said if the pauper had been detained after having been declared cured for the purpose stated by the learned counsel , the house or asylum ought most certainly to lose its license , and the surgeon and proprietor would stand a good chance of being found guilty if they were indicted , as they assuredly might be , for conspiracy . What were the commissioners in lunacy about , to permit this ?—Mr . Pashley did not assert that it was absolutely the fact that this pauper had been detained in this manner , bnt it was trne that some time before the surgeon
had declared her cured , fie had known many instances in which counsel had been desired to lose no time in settling papers , as lunatics could not be discharged , though cured , until they were completed . The present pauper appeared to be perfectly sane when questioned as to her settlement by the parochial officers six weeks ago . —Mr . Pownall , who was on the bench , said , if this were so , a piece of great cruelty had been exercised towards the poor unfortunate pauper . —Samuel Chandler deposed that he examined the pauper as to her settlement in the presence of the medical attendant of the asylum , who told him that she was sane , and also that she was detained only because the question of her settlement wa 3 not decided . —The learned
Judge : There is much more in this case than appears on the surface , and public justice demands that it should be adjourned in order that this medical man may be compelled to attend to state what the meaning of all this is . The circumstances must be communicated to the commissioners in lunacy , who are bound to answer for them ; for here it appears that a poor woman , without friends , without means , and unprotected , is subjected to the cruelty of being confined in a lunatic asylum after being declared cured . These are circumstances I must have inquired into ; let the case be adjourned , and the costs - will abide the results . The case was then adjourned until the appeal day of the December sessions , the witness Chandler being directed to subpoena the person in whose presence he examined the pauper .
The November adjourned general sessions of the peace for the county of Middlesex commenced on Tuesday morning , at the Sessions House , Clerkenwell . There were seventy-eight cases of felony and four of misdemeanour for trial . The magistrates on the bench were Sir Moses Montefiore , Mr . Brooking , Mr . "Woodward , Mr . "Warner , and Mr . Russell . Jorisdictios of the Coubt . —The grand jury returned a true bill against "William Howeli for stealing a metal inkstand , value Is ., the property of the Right Reverend John Bird Sumner , Lord Archbishop of Canterbury , and others , trustees of the British Museum . —Mr , Bodkin said this was a prosecution instituted by the trustees of the British Museum for an act of simple larceny , and lie
appeared in support of the prosecution by their direction . The charge was preferred against the prisoner before a police magistrate , who committed him to this court for trial , but in the meantime it was ascertained that he had been before convicted , and that fact was alleged on the face of the indictment . On reference to the Central Criminal Court Act , he found that this court could not try an indictment in which a previous conviction was charged against a prisoner , and the present case was an apt illustration of the great trouble , expense , and inconvenience , occasioned to the public by the extraordinary clause which operated as he had mentioned . He was at a loss to know what obiect was hoped to be attained by the operation of
that clause , and" it tras certainly a matter of great importance to the public that some remedy should be applied to so serious an evil . Here was a case of simple larceny . The authorities of the British Museum had attended here at some expense and loss of time to prosecute , in obedience to the decision of the police magistrate , yet they were to be subjected to the further expense , loss of time , and inconvenience , of attending at the Central Criminal Court in this case , which at this court would have been disposed of at once . —The learned Judge said this was not the first time this had been complained of , and he was fully aware of the justice of the complaint . The evil was not so manifest ; before the abolition of the penalty for transportation for
simple larceny , as the court could then give consideration to a former conviction in passing sentence , but since that abolition the court could not give effect to former convictions in these cases , the consequence of which was the complete failure of justice in an immense number of instances . In that court last year there were 220 cases in which prisoners had been before convicted , some of them two , three , and four times , yet the court was not able to punish them accordingly ; having no povrer to award transportation , or to try the accused for the former conviction . The expense of trying these cases of simple larceny at the Old Bailey was treble or quadruple the expense of their being tried here , and if that court was competent to try a case of simple larceny at all , it was cempetent to try it with the additional charge of a former conviction
against the prisoner . It was to be hoped , on public f rounds , that some short act to remedy this would e past next s ' ession . —Mr . Bodkin said the anomaly was the greater as there was nothing in the statute to prevent the < : rand jury finding such a bill , whilst the court was unable to try it . The power of trying such an indictment vras possessed by every other Court of Quarter Sessions in the kingdom , and why a distinction was made in Middlesex fce professed he was at a loss to know . lie had called the attention of the court to this case in the hope that it would be brought under the notice of those whe had influence to remedy so very serious an evil . — The bill waa then ordered to be remitted to the Central Criminal Court , and the witnesses hound over to appear at the next session of that court . Shoplifting . —Napoleon Ferdinand De Maillepr £ e and Louise Wilheimina Teichert were indicted for
stealing a gold key and a gold locket , the property of "William Cochran . —On the morning of the 5 th inst . the prisoners , two foreigners , were observed in Cheapside by Haydon and Brett , two active officers of the City detective police , who having some suspicion as to their objects in being in the streets , watched them . The officers followed them along Oxford-street to Regent-street , where , after walking up and down some time , the female prisoner entered the shop of Mr . Cochran , jeweller . The male prisoner remained outside , and after a short time he female left the shop , and having spoken rapidly a few words to her companion , she ran into Ilano-Ter-gquare , the man following her . They ioined in the square , and the officers distinctly saw them examining some trinket . The officers followed other where the
them into several shops , same mode of operation was adopted and eventually they took them into custody m the shop of Mr . Vaughau , pawnbroker , Strand , where they were offering m Ke a locket and a key , which , on being presented at Mr ? Cochran ' s , the sbopman . it once identified as havinc been on the tray of jewellery which had beenfhown to the female prisoner . It appeared ttat wfiTfo the shop she had examined a quantity ofjewelkry but left without purchasing anything . -The wolan pleaded Guilty , anthe <» was found Guilty There was another indictment against them , but they were not tried upon u .

Thomas Potter Sawers , from his person . —The prosecutor , a tradesman , carrying on business at Cambridge , was in town on the 29 th of last month , on which day he dined and ' spent the greater part of the evening with two or three friends . Towards midnight he got into the company of the prisoner Cooper , in the neighbourhood of Eustoa-square , and she introduced him to the other prisoner Symons . They partook of several kinds of drinks at the Plasterers' Arms in Seymour-street , and ultimately the prosecutor found himself lying in the street , at three o ' clock in the morning , suffering great pain under tho left ear , as if he had been struck with a life preserver ; there was a serious
bruise on his right arm , and the whole of his money , £ 3 , with two pocket handkerchiefs , were missing . In Symons' room was found a pockethandkerchief , which the prosecutor swore was one of the two of which he had been robbed . On the way to the station-house she asked if " Etty" was taken , and being answered in the affirmative , she said " We got a sovereign , and are going to split it . " In Symons' room was found a large buuch of keys , which the police said had been adopted for picking desks and other locks . —The jury , after four hours and a half ' s deliberation , acquitted Cooper , and found Symons' Guilty . The latter was sentenced to nine months' hard labour .

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH . THB QUEEN ( EX PARTE DAVIDPACIFICO ) V . BALDWIN AND ANOTHER . * :, :. The Sohctor-GbnehaIi said , he was instructed to move , on the part of Mr . David Pacifico , for a rule , calling upon the printer and publisher of the Morning Herald to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against them for a libel published in tho Morning Herald oa the 13 th of March last . The libel itself arose out of a topic which had been much discussed of late in reference to the affairs of Greece , and if the publishers of the libel had confined themselves to matters of public concern the applicant would never have
complained of them ; but in this instance the writer of the article had made an attack on Mr . Pacifico s private character , which compelled him to come here and ask for the protection of the court . The libel professed to be a letter from the private correspondent of the Morning Berald at Athens , dated the 28 th of February , in which , after discussing the question at issue between Greece and England on public grounds , the writer said , " The Jew Pacifico , before his fraudulent bankruptcy at Constantinople , and before his consulship in Greece , held an inn in a village in Portugal . " He ( the Solicitor-General ) must here observe that the applicant never had been at Constantinople , and never had been a bankrupt , and in fact had never owed a
shilling which he was not able to pay . The article proceeded , — " On one occasion Don Pedro , on his way to Lisbon , first sent to say that he would atop there , and having changed his mind and , taken another route , was much astonished some time after ' wards to see mine host arrive with a bill for £ 150 , for the cost , he said , of his preparations to receive His Majesty . Don Pedro took the thing as a joke , but gave him £ 25 and sent him to the rightabout , ' The applicant , in his affidavit , swore that there was not a single word of truth in the whole of that statement . The whole of it was untrue from the beginning to the end . The libel went on , — " Since then Pacifico , having changed for the third time his nationality , and put himself under Sir E . Lyons'
protection , raked up ems old account , which he pretends to have been torn or lost in the pillage of his house , and which suddenly took the fearful proportion of £ 25 , 000 . This is the principal item of the Pacifico affair , which also comprehends the indemnities for the harm done to his house , such as £ 2 , 000 for bronzes and crystals broken , and the rest in proportion . Now , it happens that before the riot in his house Don Pacifico had had the misfortune to have one of his daughters run away with twice—first , by a merchant's clerk , and , secondly , by an apothecary ' s boy ; and , on this second sad catastrophe he addressed himself to King Otho , protesting that his daughter had stolen everything he possessed , and that he had nothingr left to lire on , and consequently
asking for alms . The King , it is a well-known fact , lent him more than once , 100 drachmas at a time . You may judge , therefore , of theorystals and bronzes there must have been to break in bis miserable dwelling . " As to bis daughters , the applicant said he had three daughters , the eldest of whom wasmarried with his full consent , and the youngest , who was thirteen years of age , was still living under the parental roof , "With regard to the second , to whom the libel was supposed to refer , she had been married to an officer named Lante . Mr . Pacifico , being a Jew , had objected to that marriage on the ground of Captain Lante ' a religion , and his daughter had been married without his consent ; but as to her running away , or taking away with her any
part of her father's property , there was no pretence whatever for the charge . Sor waa there any pretence for the imputation that Mr . Pacifico had ever made the representation alleged . Now , there were three libellous charges made in the article which he had brought before tho court . First , there was a charge of fraudulent bankruptcy at Constantinople , which the applicant swore was entirely false . Lord Campbell said , the only difficulty he felt was that which arose from the lapse of time . The libel was published on the 13 th of March , and this was November . He ( Lord Campbell ) would be glad if the learned Solicitor-General would read that part of the affidavit which explained the delay . The Solicitor-General then read some passages
from the applicant's affidavit , stating that on the 17 ih of January , 1850 , being apprehensive of damage to his person , he had embarked on board the Caledonia with his family , and lay for eleven weeks off the coast , where he was at the time the libel was published ; thai ; on his arrival in the island of Malta he was seized with cholera , and was detained there for several months ; that though while there he had received information from some of his friends that some libellous publication had appeared , he did not see the libel in question till he arrived at Southampton , on the 5 th of August . The libel was set out in the affidavit , and a paper was annexed which showed that it was first published in the Morning Herald . Lord Campbell said the learned Solicitor-General might take a rule .

Mr . Sergeant Allen and Mr . Lush for the plaintiff ; Mr . Humfrey , Q . C ., and Mr . Field for the defendant . —Miss Philips stated , that the plaintiff had been brought up from childhood by witness ' s aunt , Mrs . Philips , who resided at Putney . Iu 1848 , plaintiff went to reside with a Mrs . Edwards . She left that lady in December , 184 S , and came again to reside with witness ' s aunt .
While with Mrs . Edwards , plaintiff made the acquaintance of defendant . Ho continued to visit her after she returned to Mrs . Philips . He told witness that his intentions were pure and honourable , and that he visited Miss Sherlock as his intended bride . He was then living with his father , a large market-gardener . He said he expected to obtain a place in the Post-office , and he should be able to keep her well . He did obtain an appointment in June last . It was £ 70 the first year , and to increase afterwards . He used to come every day , and more than once a- day , and spend the whole of his evenings with the plaintiff at Mrs . Philips ' s . He was then not quite twenty-one .- He came of age on the 1 st of July 1849 . He said on that day lie would
, marry her on the day following . Before the 1 st of July witness observed that Ann Sherlock was in the family way . Witness spoke to defendant on the subject . He said he intended to marry her as soon as he could , and when he had taken her to church no one would be able to throw a slur on her character , no told Mr .

Edwards she lived with a Mrs . Collett . My aunt , Mrs . Philips , ia not married ; She has a daughter ; the daughter has been married about three months . She has no child , but Bhe had one who died three years ago . Plaintiff ' s father is a gardener at Putney . I am not aware that her father has been in gaol for felony . I do remember , something about removing some lead , but whether he was in gaol or not , I don't know . Re-examined : I had opportunities of observing the conduct of the plaintiff , and it was never immoral or improper . I don't believe she ever had acquaintance with any other man but the defendant . —Mrs . Anne Edwards : Was no relation of the Mrs . Edwards with whom the plaintiff lived . Knew the plaintiff from her childhood up to
three or four years ago . Her conduct was always correct . Since that time she had no opportunity of judging of it . —Elizabeth Cotton proved that the defendant took her house of her in the name of Mrs . Philips , saying that he was about to be married ; that hia father objected ; but he had a good situation in the Post-office , and had a right to do as ho pleased . —Mr . Huinfrey then addressed the jury for the defendant . He said that he could not deny that the defendant had made the promise ; nor could ho deny that ho waa of age when he did so . Nor could he say that the young man was -unacquainted with the immoral conduct of the plaintiff at the time ho made the promise ; indeed so infatuated was he , that he believed he would have married the
plaintiff , notwithstanding her character , if his family had not interfered . He was , however , entrapped into this engagement , and his friends had only done their duty in saving him from an abandoned strumpet . He was prepared to prove that the plaintiff was such . He called upon the jury to look at the school in which the plaintiff had been brought up ; the companion of Mrs . Philips , who had a natural daughter , which had a natural child ; then tbe companion of Mrs . Edwards , who he should show wasa kept woman ; but bad as Mrs . Edwards was , she did not corrupt the plaintiff , for he should prove that she came already corrupted to her house . Before she resided with her she liv ' ed . with a Mrs . Collett . While with her he should call witnesses to prove that her
character was of a most : abandoned kind—that ahe swore , drank , and smoked , and was unchaste . At Mrs . Edwards ' s the defendant became acquainted with her . He should have to prove things respecting plaintiff too vile for him to repeat—they must be heard from the witnesses themselves . He should prove that the plaintiff , when she swore the child against the defendant , told another man that her attorney had said she was a fool not to fix him as the father , as she then would have made a better thing of it . —Mary _ Wood stated ! that she was formerly in the service of Mrs , Collett at Hammersmith ; the plaintiff was there at the time ; the plaintiff slept with another Bervant named Alice Morgan . Witness found one morning a young man
in their bed-room ; she did not tell her mistress of it . —George Strudwick , the young man referred to by the last witness , stated that he went to their bed-room by the invitation of Alice Morgan and the plaintiff . Was intimate on that occasion with Alice Morgan , but not with Sherlock , Had seen the plaintiff in the company of prostitutes . Had seen her with a cigar in her mouth . Had seen her drunk . — William Smith stated that he accompanied the defendant to Mrs . Edwards's house . He slept with Mrs . Edwards , and the defendant with the plaintiff . —Other witnesses proved acts of gross indecency committed or allowed towards herself by the
plaintiff ; but not actual unchastity . —Mr . Sergeant Allen was about to address the jury in reply , when Mr . Baron Martin interruped the learned counsel by asking him whether he thought he could possibly convince the jury that they should give the plaintiff more than nominal damages ? But as the jury after some time did not appear to have agreed , the case was postponed . —This case was again called on on Tuesday , when Mr . Sergeant Allen strongly commented on the evidence produced by the defendant . —Mr . Baron Martin having left the case to the jury that body consulted for nearly four hours , and then returned a verdict for the plaintiff , damages £ 10 .
THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY , O ' CONNOR , M . P ., V . BRADSIUW . This was a rule for a new trial on the ground of misdirection which had been obtained on the part of tho plaintiff by Mr . Sergeant Wilkins . It may be remembered that this was an action for libel , in which tbe plaintiff complained that the defendant , who was the publisher of a Nottingham journal , had , in a certain handbill regarding the contents of a forthcoming number , charged the plaintiff with dishonest conduct , with reference to the National Land Company . The defendant pleaded " Not Guilty , " and a justification , and at the trial before Sir F . Pollock , C . B ., which lasted three days , the jury found for the plaintiff on the first issue , and for the second , on the plea of justification , accompanied , however , by an emphatic declaration that , in their opinion , the character of Mr . O'Connor was entirely free from any imputation of personal
dishonour . In the course of the summing up the learned Chief Baron asked the jury to put their own construction on the libel , which he said might impute personal or political dishonesty , and he laid it down as his opinion that the National Land Company was illegal , either as being an infringement of the Lottery Act , or the Banking Act , He also left it to them to say whether the defendant in issuing the libel was animated by a bonafide belief that Mr . O'Connor was seeking to turn the Company to his own political or personal advantage , and he further remarked that , in his view of that Company , the subscribers could not have any redress , either at law or equity , against Mr . O' Connor , for the recovery of their subscriptions , while , in the event of his bankruptcy , all their deposits would pass to his assignees . On these points it was felt by the plaintiff that the direction of the learned judge was erroneous , and this rule having been granted generally , on the ground of misdirection .
Mr . Rokbuck , Mr . Keating , and Mr . Baglet , now showed cause . They contended that the scheme of the National Land Company was essentially a lottery , in which though some subscribers obtained prizes , it was notorious to every reasonable man that the majority would lose their subscriptions and get nothing , for the wholo scheme , as put forward by the plaintiff , would require £ 21 , 000 , 000 of capital to carry it out , and at least 150 years would be consumed before all the 70 , 000 subscribers could by possibility obtain locations . This certainty of loss to some , and the vicious gambling hope held out to all of success , reduced the scheme to a sheer illegal lottery , and fully justified the Chief Baron in directing the jury plainly that it was an illegal company within the 42 nd George III ., c . 119 , and the various other statutes on that subject . They also argued that the direction wa 3 correct on all the other points to whioh the rule was pointed .
Mr . Aihbrton ( in the absence of Mr . Sergeant Wilkins ) and Mr , Prentice were heard at great length in support of the rule . They complained of the manner in which the defendant ' s counsel commented on the points of misdirection which had been mentioned to the court . However , tbere were many other more material matters to which the attention of the learned baron had not been at all directed . The plaintiff did not wish to select any number of phrases or passages in the learned judge's summing up , or find fault with certain expressions selected , but what he complained of was that the jury had been misled by a substantial misdirection , and that the result was a verdict which was utterly unintelligible . There was no other way to account for the
finding of the jury except that they were influenced and controlled by his lordship ' s opinions . They were told it was . their duty to determino whether tho plaintiff acted with bona fides , with reference to the Land Scheme , and if so , then .. whether the defendant had written the strictures , complained of bonafide , and in fact they were directed to consider whether the plea of justification was made out , and to put their own construction on some of its most important terms . The verdict affirmed that the statements in the libel were true , but toshow what was passing in the minds of the jury and their opinion that the p laintiff had acted bona fide , they accompanied their verdict with the expression of their unanimous opinion to that effect .
Sir F . Pollock , C . B . —There is a wide difference between a paper of that sort and the solemn finding of the jury . The one was an act doneunder the obligation of their oaths , but tho court knew notbing of the other , or under what arrangements it had been made . It was no judicial act . The verdict was upon oath delivered in the discharge of a public duty . That pieee of paper referred to ( I don't moan it offensively ) was a piece of impertinence not belonging to the jury . Mr . Baron Pahke . —It is certainly very ambigUOUS . Mr . Baron Aldeeson . —I don't myself understand what " honesty" quo ad hoc means ; it requires a very nice distinction to comprehend it . Mr . Baron Putt . —Tho expression of tho opinion of tho jury accompanying their verdict might enlighten the court as to its satisfactoriiiess . . Mr . Athbkto ' n said that under the circumstances the verdict was utterly unintelligible . The only
way to account for it was , that the jury had been misled by the learned judge . Whatever might be said cf the expression of the jury ' s opinion of tho plaintiff ' s character , it might , with advantage to tiim , be placed against the invectives indulged in that day by the defendant ' s counsel—invectives which he ( Mr . Atherton ) was happy to say very seldom found their way into discussions of caBea in the new trial paper . The learned counsel then proceeded to distinguish the Land Company ' s plan from the Arts Union , ' and other lotteries , and contended that it did not come within the prohibitory statutes . Mr . Baron Parkb said the verdict clearly meant that Mr . O'Connor was not guilty of the dishonesty of putting any of tho fund subscribed into his own pocket , but that he was guilty of political dishonesty . It appeared to him that the summing , up of the learned judge was unobjectionable . Mr . Baron Alderson . —What the jury said was this :-Jn his general wnduct Mr . O'Xtonnoris not

dishonest ; but in this particular transaction he was guilty of what the law would call crasia ignorantia . In other words , "he is a very respectable man , but we think he is a political impostor—( laughter)—and not very honest in this transaction . " After some further discussion tho case was deferred . ¦ MTB

CARDINAL WISEMAN'S MANIFESTO . A manifesto has been published which may be said to contain the motives that induced the sovereign pontiff to attempt the establishment of the Catholio hierarchy in England . The manifesto is very lengthy , and occupies nearly seven columns of the Times , from which we make the follo \ ying extracts . Having given a history of Catholicism in England since 1623 , it states that the Catholic church in England had so much expanded and consolidated itself , since the Emancipation Act , and its parts had so matured their mutual relations , that it could not bo carried on without a full and explicit code . Tho bishops , it was urged , found themselves
perplexed , and their situation lull of difficulty ; as they earnestly desired to be guarded from arbitrary decisions , by fixed rules , and yet had none provided for them . The uncertainty , also , of position on tho part of the clergy , which resulted from this anomalous state , made it still more painful . Such was tho case submitted to the judgment of the Holy See , fully illustrated with practical applications . A remedy was therefore prayed for , and it was Buggeated that it could only be in one of the two following forms : — Either the Holy See must issue another and full constitution , which would supply all wants , but which would be necessarily complicated and volumnious , and / as a special provision , would necessarily be temporary .
Or the real and complete code of the church must be at onco extended to the Catholic church in England , so far as compatible with its social position : and this provision would be final . But , in order to adopt thi 3 second and more natural expedient , 6 n 6 condition waa necessary , and that was—The Catholics must have a hierarchy . The canon law is inapplicable under vicars-apostolic ; and , besides , many points would have to be synodically adjusted , and without a metropolitan and suffragans , a provincial synod was out of tho question .
Such was the main and solid ground on which the hierarchy was humbly solicited by Catholics from the Holy See . It waa one that referred to their own internal organisation exclusively . Thoughts of aggression never entered the heads of the petitioners or of the petitioned nor weve the bishops moved by stupid ideas , of rivalry with the established church , in what forms its weakness , nor any absurd defiance of national prejudices . They knew that they violated no law in asking for what waa needfal for their religious existence , and they acted on an acknowledged right of liberty of conscience .
The ground of the pleading was ihe absolute necessity of the hierarchy for domestic organisation and good government . The Holy See kindly listened to the petition , and referred it to the Sacred Congregation of the Propaganda . After a full discussion , and further reply to objections , the boon waa granted . The vicars-apostolic were desired to suggest the best divisions for new dioceses , and the best places for the titles . These were adjusted , the brief was drawn up , and even printed . Some difficulties arose about a practical point , and publication was delayed . In 1848 , another bishop , Dr . Ullathorne , waa deputed to Eome , to remove them , and the mea 3 ure was again prepared , when the Roman revolution suspended its final conclusion till now .
All this time there was no concealment , no attempt to take people by surprise . All Catholics knew of the intended measure ; the papers announced it ; so notorious was it , that tho . Dean and Chapter of Westminster petitioned parliament against it ; and > a friend of the writer ' s heard the Dean of Westminster say , most openly , " Well , he may call himself what he pleases , but at least he can never be Dean of Westminster . " In Battersby ' s Irish Directory for 1848 , tho writer was named , "Most Rev . N . Wiseman , Archbishop of Westminster . " He can add , that many letters camo to him so addressed . Then , why is this very act , which was openly spoken of , and hardly attracted attention , three years of ago , now denounced so furiously , and characterised so foully ?
Having exoulpated the Pope , by taking the responsibility of the measure upon himself , the Cardinal says : — " It may be useless at this moment to stem the current of vulgar and ribald abuse that is poured out against his sacred person , and eucou raged by those whoso mission , if they have one , should be of peace . Time will disperse the mist , and show the transaction in its true light . In the meantime , the writer of the these pages ( and he is sure he is not alone ) declares himself ready to stand between the Pontiff and the vituperation cast
upon his act , believing it to havo been most just , most expedient , nay , little less than necessary , for the well being of the Catholic Church in England . And yet , for Englishmen , it ought to have been sufficient to say , ' It is strictly within the law . '" Carnidal Wiseman then proceeds to rebuke the First Lord of the Treasury for his letter , and the Lord Chancellor , for his after-dinner speech at the Mansion House , and appeals to the manly sense and honest hearts of the English people , for a fair , free , and impartial hearing on behalf of himself and fellow Catholics . He then proceeds to examine
What Was the extent of reli g ions toleration granted to Catholics ? Have they a right to possess Biskops or a Hierarchj ? Having discussed the Catholic Emancipation Act , the Cardinal draws the following conclusions ;—First , that Catholics , by Jaw , had a right to be governed by bishops . Secondly , that no law or authority bound them to bo for ever governed by vicars-apostolic , and that they were at liberty to havo a hierarchy , that is , an archbishop and bishops with local titles , or titles from places in the country . Thirdly , that accordingly such titles are not against any law , so long as they are not the actual titles held by the Anglican hierarchy . Fourthly , that all these conditions haying been exactly observed in the late erection of the Catholic hierarchy , this is ' perfeetly legal , perfectly lawful , and unassailable by any present law .
Then why all the clamour that has been raised ? On what ground docs tho attack made upon us rost ? Why havo wo been denounced—why held up to ^ public hatred ? Why pointed out to public fury ? I have not seen one paper which , during the violence of the storm , thought it worth while to look into the question of law , and calmly inquire" Have the Catholics violated , or gone beyond , the law of tho land ? If not , why should they be thus so perseveringly abused ?" The appointment of a Catholic Hierai'chy does not
in any way doprivo tho English establishment of a single advantage which it now possesses . Its bishops retain , and , for anything that tho new bishops will do , may retain for ever their titles , their rank , their social position , their pre-eminence , their domestic comforts , their palaces , their lands , their incomes , without diminution or alteration . Whatever satisfaction it has been to you till now to see them so elevated above their Catholic rivals , and to have their wants so amply provided for , you will still enjoy as much as hitherto . And the same is to bo said of the second order of clergy : not an archdeaconry , or deanery , © V canoni'V , 01 'benefice , or living will bo taken from them or claimed by the Catholic priesthood . Tho outward aspects of the two churches will be the same . * * * $
How could Catholics obtain their Hierarchy ? We have seen that , not only we possess a full right by law to be governed by bishops , but that we have an equal right to be governed by them according to tho proper and perfect form of episcopal government , that is , by bishops in ordinary having their sees and titles in the country . If wo havo a perfect right to all this , we havo no less a perfect right to employ the only means by which to obtain it . We have seen that Catholics are allowed by law to maintain the Pope ' s supremacy in ecclesiastical
and religious matters , and one point of that supremacy is that he alono can constitute a hierarchy or appoint bishops , Throughout tho Catholic world this is the same . Even where the civic power , by an arrangement with tho Pope , names , that ia proposes , a person to be a bishop , he cannot be consecrated without the Pope's confirmation or acceptance ; and if consecrated already , he can havo no power to perform any functions of his office without the same sanction . If , theroforo , tho Catholics of this country were ever to have a hierarchy at all , it could only be through the Pope . Ho alono could grant it .
Has the Mode of EstdblisMmj the Hierarchy been "Iiu solentand Insidious ?" The words in this title are extracted from the loo memorable letter of the First Lord of the Treasury . 1 am willing to consider that production as a private aet , and not as any manifesto of the intentions of her ¦ Majesty ' s Government . * * * * * * * * So little was I , on my part , aware that such feelings as that letter disclosed existed in tho head of our Government on the subject of the Hierarchy , that having occasion to write to his lordshi p on some business , I took the liberty of continuin g my lotter as follows : — ° "Vienna , Nov . 3 . "MyLord ,-
" I cannot but most deepl y regret tho erroneous and even distorted viow which the English papers have presented of what the Holy See has done in regard to the spiritual government of the Catholics of England ; but I take tho liberty of stating that

tho : measure-now promulgated was not only prepared but printed three years ago , and a copy of it was shown to Lord Minto by the Pope on occasion of an audience given to his lordahip by hia Holiness . I have no right to intrude upon your lordship further in this matter beyond offering to to give any explanations that your lordship may demre , iu full confidence that it will be in my power to remove particularly the offensive interpretation put upon tho late act of the Holy See , that it was suggested by political viows or by any hostile feelings . " And with regard to myself , I beg to add that I am invested with a purely ecoleaiastioal dignity ; that I have no secular or temporal delegation whatever—that my duties will be , . what they have ever
been , to promote the morality of those committed to my charge , especially the masses of our poor , and keep up those feelings of goodwill and friendl y intercommunion between Catholics and their fellow oountrymon , which I flatter myself I have been tho means of somewhat improving . I am confident that time will soon show , what a temporary excitement may conceal , that social and publio advantages must result from taking the Catholios of England out of that irregular and necessarily temporary state of Government in which they have been placed , and extending to them thnfc ordinary and moro . definite form which is normal to their church , and which has already been so beneficially bestowed upon almost every colony of the British
empire . " I beg to apologise for intruding at such length upon your lordship ' s attention ; but I have been encouraged to do so by the uniform kindness and courtesy which I have always met with from every member of her Majesty ' s Government with whom I havo have had occasion to treat , and from your lordship in particular , and by a sincere desire that suoh friendly communication should not be interrupted . " I have the honour to be , my lord , your lordship ' s obedient servant ,
" S , Card . Wiseman . " The Right Hon . the Lord John Russell , First Lord of the Treasury / &q , " The Cardinal then proceoded to show that no reasonable objection could exist to the organisation of a Catholio . Hierarchy in England , on the ground that it l ; ad been recognised and even royally honoured in Ireland , and that Australia , and our North American possessions are divided into archiepiscopal and episcopal sees , by the authority of aota of their respective legislative assemblies , If , therefore , tho Royal supremacy of the English Crown could thus lawfully exercise itself where it never has before exercised authority , and where it is not recognised , a 8 in a Catholic country—if the Queen , as head of the English church , can send
bishops into Abyssinia and Italy , surely Catholics had good right to suppose that , with the full toleration granted them , and the permitted exercise of Papal supremacy in their behalf , no less would be permitted to them without censure or rebuke . In 1841 , or 1842 , when for the first time the Holy See thought of erecting a hierarchy in North , America , I was commissioned to sound the feelings ' of Government on the subject . I came up to London for the purpose , and saw the Under-Seerefcary for the Colonies , of which Lord Stanley was-. the secretary . I shall not easily forget the urbanity of my reception , or the interesting conversation that took p lace , in which much was spoken to me which has since come literally true . But on tho subject of my mission the answer given was somewhat to this effect : — "What does it matter to us what
you call yourselves , whether Vieavs-Apostolie , or Bishops , or Muftis , or Iraaums , so that you do not ask us to do anything for you ? We have no right to prevent you taking any title among your * selves . " This , however , the distinguished gentleman alluded to observed was his private opinion , and he desired me to call in a few days after . I did so , and he assured me , that haying laid the matter before the head of the department , the answer waa the same as he had before given me . I wrote it to Rome , and it served , no doubt , as the basis of the nomination of bishops in ordinary in North America . I have no doubt the documents referring to this transaction will bo found in the Colonial-office .
The Title of Westminster . The selection of this title for the metropolitan see of the new Hierarchy has , I understand , given great offence . I am sorry for it . f It was littleless than the necessity which led to its adoption . I roust observe , that according to the discipline of the Catholic church , a bishop ' s title must bo from a town or city . Originally almost every village or small town had its bishop , as appears from the history of the African church . But a town or city a bishopric must still be ; a " territorial" title ia never given . Thus in Yan Dipinen ' s Land , while the Anglican bishop takes his title of Tasmania from the territory , the Catholic derives his of Hobarfc Town from the town . In re-establishing a Catholio
Hierarchy in England , it was natural and decorous that its metropolitan should have his see at the ? capital . This has been the rule at all times ; though of course those capitals may decay into provincial towns without losing their privilege . Tho very term metropolitan signifies the bishop of the metropolis . This being the principle or basis of every Hierarchy , how was it to be acted on here ? London waa a title inhabited by law ; Southward was to form a separate see . To have taken tha title of a subordinate portion of what forms tha great congolraerato of London , as Finsburj , or Islington , would have been to cast ridicule and open the door for jeers upon the new episcopate . Besides , nono of these are towns nor cities . West *
minster naturally suggested itself , as a city unoccupied by any Anglican see , and giving an honourable and well known metropolitan title . It was consequently selected , and I can sincerely say , that I had no part whatever in tho selection . But I rejoiced that it was chosen , not because it was tha seat of the courts of law or of Parliament , or for any such purpose , but because it brings the real point more clearly and strikingly before our oppo * nents ; " Have we in anything acted contrary to law ? And if not , why are we to bo blamed ?" But lam glad , also , for another reason , The Chapter of Westminster has been the first to protest against the new archiepiscopal title , as though some practical attempt at jurisdiction within tne Abbey was intended . Then let me give them
assurance on that point , and let us conic to a fair decision and a good understanding . The diocese , indeed , of Westminster embraces a large district , but Westminster proper consists of two very different parts . One comprises the stately Abbey , with its adjacent palaces and its Royal parks . To this portion the duties and occupation of the Dean and Chapter are mainly confined ; and they shall range there undisturbed . To tha venerable old church I may repair , as I have been wont to do . But perhaps the Dean and Chapter ara not aware that , were I disposed to claim more than the right to tread the Catholic pavement of that noble building and breathe its air of ancient consecration , another might step in with a prior claim . For successive generations there has existed ever , in the Benedictine ordor , an Abbot of Westminster , the representative , in religions dignity , of those
who erected and beautified antl governed that church , and cloister . Havo they ever been disturbed by this " titular ? " Have they heard of any claim or protest on his part touching their temporalities 1 Then lot them fear no greater aggression now . Like him , I may visit , as I have said , tho old Abbey , and say my prayer by the shrine of good St . Edward , and meditate on the olden times , when the church fillod without a coronation , and multitudes hourly worshipped without a service . But in their temporal rights or their quiet possession of any dignity or title they will not suffer . Whenever I go in I will pay my entrance fee , like other liege subjects , and resign myself nicekly to the guidance of the beadle , and listen without rebuke when ho points out to my admiration detestable monuments , or shows mo a hole in the wall for a confessional .
Yet this splendid monument , its treasures of art , and its fitting endowments , form not the part of Westminister which will . concern me . For there ig another part which stands ia frightful contrast , though in immediate contact , with this magnificence . In ancient times the existence of an abbey on any spot , with a Jarge staff of clergy and ample revenues , would hare sufficed to create around it a little paradiso of comfort , cheerfulness , and ease . This however , is not now the case . Close under the abbey of Westminister there lie concealed labyrinths of lanes and courts , and alleys and slums , nests of ignorance , vioe , depravity , and
crime , as well as of squalor , wretchedness , and disease ; whose atmosphere is typhus , whose ventilation is cholera ; in which swarms a huge and almost countless population , in great measure nominally at least , Catholic ; haunts of filth which no sewage committee can reach—dark corners which no lighting board can brighten . This ia the part of Westmininster which aloao I covet and which I shall be glad to claim and to visit as a dossed pasture in which sheep of holy church are ; o be tended , in which a bishop ' s godly work has to bo done , of consoling , converting , and preserving . And if , as I humbly trust in God , itshall be seen that this special culture , arising from tho establish" .
