the celebrated \u201c Gladiateur.The famous cherry stone, which has tlie last few weeks excited such wonderful admiration at the retrospective exhibition in the Champs Elysees, has just been cold at the auction rooms in the Rue Drouot.This microscopic marvel of art and patience, which has beautifully carved on it a representation of a charge of cavalry, fetched £40.We regret to learn from Florence that the charming Piccolomini, who often delighted us by her singing in \u201c La Traviata \u201d and \u201c La 1\u2019iglia del hegimcnto,\u201d is suffering from a cancerous disease, and that hut little hopes are entertained of her recovery.The space applied for in tlie Paris Exhibition of next year far exceeds the area at the disposal of the Council.Hence there is a talk of supplementary exhibitions undertaken by private enterprise for the accommodation of rejected candidates.The Uni tod States people espcial-ly are very much disgusted with the small space allotted to them, aud think of retiring to a show of their own.Before closing my letter I must inform you that tlie greatest entente cordiale existed on Sunday last between the English and French votaries of tlie turf.These gentlemen suent the evening together at the well known place of amusement, le Jardin Mabille, and they did not feel inclined lo yo home till morning; hut the pickled salmon having got up into their heads, the police were obliged to help several to their homes.The musical world has been very much taken up of late by a new opera by Flotow the composer of the well known operetta, Martini, which lias had such success in France, Ger-many, England, and America, is entitled Eilda, tbe words by St.George.The plot of the piece is according to the bills taken from the Arabian Nights.This is, however, a mistake.Eilda is taken from a story by Voltaire.The music is light and sparkling, though written by a German.It much resembles some of the compositions of Auber and Offenbach, whose Orphce aux enfers has had such wonderful success in Paris, having been performed more than three hundred times running.The public taste is now all for music, and how should it be otherwise when Kings give the example.I suppose every body lias heard of Richard Wagner, the apostle of the music of the future, whoje opera of \u201cTanhauser\u201d met with such a very unwelcome reception in Paris in 1861.It appears that the young King Louis of Bavaria, aged about twenty, is music mad.A few days ago he suddenly disappeared from his capital, creating great consternation amongst the Ministers and tlie entourage of the young King.They sought him that night, and they sought him next day,\u201d as the song says.A few days after the King returned, and where had he been ?To wish his friend Richard Wagner a happy New Year on his friend\u2019s birthday rien que cela.The grand médaillé d'honneur, which lias generally been given for the best pictures exhibited at tlie exhibition of Beaux Arts, is to be left to the decision of the artists themselves, i.e., those artists who have already had their medals.As usual, the artists, who never can agree upon any point, have met, but have not been able to come to a decision as to whom it shall be given.Therefore, the modal will, I dare say, remain without an owner.UN FRANÇAIS.Paris, May 31, 1866.I must not omit to toll you of a new class of individuals that has sprung up amongst us since the reports of an intended war between Italy and Austria have been circulating in France.The Paris papers tell their readers that their offices are all day long filled by persons about to depart for Italy to join Garibaldi, who offer their services as correspondents from the seat of war.La Liberie of which I have often spoken to you, and which is edited by Emile do Girardin, assisted by two able writers Duvernois ami Penard, informs us that it has in one day received more than 600 letters with offers of correspondence from Italy.We must not be surprised that our Parisian press is so badly informed on Italian matters.The tocsin of war has not yet rung.We are still living with the sword of Damocles hanging over our heads.Whilst in Saxony, Silesia, Lombardy and Venetia, more tlian (wo millions of men are waiting to cut each others throats, diplomacy is doing all it can to prevent a coni flict between Austria, Italy and Prussia.London, Paris and St.Petersburg have agreed to send the following programme to Vienna, Berlin and Florence, which run thus : The Elbe Duchies.The security of Italy.The German Federal question.The programme has in principle not been rejected by tne belligerents ; but, alas 1 the general opinion iu London and in Paris is tiiat Jhe Congress will not bring us a pacific solution of the present conflict.Austria objects to the article on the Venetian question Italy on the contrary wishes if to be maintained in the programme.Prussia consents to send a representative fo sit at the green baize table on condition that the decision of the Congress shall not restrain its liberty of action, and finally the German Bund will not hear of European powers meddling in the affairs of Germany, which can only be settled by tlie Germans themselves.With respect to Russia I it objects to the Oriental question, and tlie I question of nationalities being mooted.We fear the Congress will be like a tower of Babel from the number of diplomatists taking such a different view of things.Napoleon III., who is evidently the Dais el machina of this imbroglio is still as taciturn as ever.Those nearest about him know not.his secret thought.He has had private wires attached to the different telegraphs, aud sends private telegrams with his own hands to Count Bismark at Berlin, and General La Marmora at Florence, At all places of public amusement, at the balls of the Tuileries, H.M.wears a most unruffled countenance, apparently most desirous for the maintenance ot peace.It is believed by knowing ones that tlie Congress is only a subterfuge, in order to give Italy and Prussia the time to aim comme il faut But there is no doubt that Austria is in a better situation in a military point of view than either Prussia or Italy.In Prussia the Landwehr, which is the basis of defence, refuses to answer to the call of the government.The 40,000 volunteers that have flocked to the standard of Garibaldi, are as yet armed only with good intentions, as they have, neither arms nor clothing.Our private Italian correspondence informs us that the discipline of the volunteers now trying to got enlisted, can in case of need be little depended upon.Even the French government, notwithstanding its enthusiasm for the cause of Italy, did not think that things would go so far, and it will he a few weeks before the Imperial French army will be able to take the field.Italy must have Venetia or perish.Thé stalu quo is a war minus killed or wounded, for the expense of the standing army of Italy will bring it to tbe brink of ruin in no time.In Prussia the consequences of the mobilization of the Landwehrc are terrible.The town of Berlin alone is obliged to feed 1750 women and children of men called away to serve and who have left their families destitute of every tiring.Moreover the number of workmen thrown out of employment by the stagnation of affairs amounts to more than 20,000.As regards the number of mercantile failures they are more than I can reckon.Our Mediterranean correspondents write that several English men of war are about, to leave Malta in order to be near the theatre of events.Our summer amusements have commenced and one cannot imagine a more splendid sight than tiiat of tlie meeting on Sunday last at the Bois de Boulogne to witness the run for tlie great prize of 100,000 francs.All now agree that the French Derby is in every respect superior to the Epsom Derby as the lower classes of France are less addicted to drunkenness than in England.We have had quite au invasion of English ladies and gentlemen, aud jockeys innumerable, have been crossing and running the channel for the last throe weeks attending on the fine specimens of horse flesh that have been sent over for our admiration.The victory of the Duke of Beaufort\u2019s horse gave great satisfaction to the English visitors in Paris as not only is he one of the most popular of English sportsmen but this present success is a well merited recompense for his gallant conduct last year when he sent over Todleben to meet the formidable Gladiateur and preferred to encounter certain defeat rather than al- STATTONS OF TBE MINISTERS AND PREACHERS OF THE CONFERENCE OF THE WESLEYAN METHODIST CHURCH IN LOWER CANADA.MONTREAL DISTRICT.Montreal Centre ; James Elliott, Wm Briggs John Douglas,

Battalion G.T.R.Rifles presented Sergeant-Major Atkinson, their drill instructor, with a very handsome gold pencil case ; also Mrs.Atkinson with a splendid gold brooch.The battalion being drawn up in

No.2 Company 2nd Battalion G.T.R.Rifles wishing to testify to you their appreciation of your services as their drill instructor and to show you also that they are desirous to improve under your tuition, beg your acceptance of a gold pencil case ;\u2014understanding, also, that you have lately taken unto yourself a help-mate, they wish to show that in remembering the assiduity of the husband they have not forgotten the wife, and ask your acceptance for her of a gold brooch.These gifts, slight as they may appear in their intrinsic value, yet still they wish it to be impressed on you, that having gained their confidence, lias caused presentation.Sincerely do we wish you this both health, iiappiness and prosperity.Signed in behalf of the Company by Sergeant John Richards, \u201c Wm.Wilkinson.Private N.Patterson, \u201c D.Christie, \u201c A.Stewart.reply to this, Sergeantt-Major Atkinson In said Comrades,\u2014This event, so sudden and unexpected, lias almost deprived me of the power to utter a word.I feel very proud to see that my efforts to do my duty were appreciated by you, but we have all done our duty.Here in the midst of this turmoil and excitement there is not a man in the battalion but is prepared to to repel\u201cand resist those who would invade our country and upset tlie free Government under which our lives and interests are protected\u2014 those who would bring bloodshed and desolation into our peaceful land ; and I will endeavour to do my duty In the future, as I am happy to find you think I have done it in the past.As to the brooch you have presented to my wife, I thank you very much in her behalf, but I shall hardly know how to give it her.1 feel certain she will esteem it among the most valuable of her possessions, and it will ever be her pride, as also mine, to view these tokens of your approbation and respect, and to carefully preserve them to the longest day of our lives.Again, thanking you very much, I pledge myself to persevere in my efforts to da my duty, and I think I can answer for it you will do the same.The follwing letter from Mrs.Atkinson was read to the Company :\u2014 To the non-commissioned officers aud m 4664 ai No.8 (Oapfc.Tandy's) Oompany of the 2nd Battalion G.T.B.Rifles : Gentluhen,\u2014I have much pleasure in ac-eeptii g the valuable present you were kind enough to make me, as a token of the esteem in which my husband\u2019s services, as Drill Instructor, are held by you.It is a gift I never could have anticipated, and I shall treasure it as a memento of the union existing between yourselves and my husband ; and I feel certain that such a spontaneous expression of feeling on your part will, should the corps be called out for active service, prove your united détermination to display, equally, your loyalty and zeal in the service of your Queen and Country.Should such an emergency arise, I trust that you will hold me in remembrance, and that I shall have the privilege of rendering such service as I may be able, in nursing or taking care of the sick or wounded\u2014a duty I shall feel happy to discharge.I am, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, Hermilinda Nishapkin

Saturday in Zion Church.An hour was spent in devotional exercises.At 10 o\u2019clock the Union resumed business, Bev.W.H.Allworth, Chairman, siding.Bev.T.B.Sturges, from the General Association of Connecticut, addressed the Union, speaking of the ties between the Puritans of New England and of Canada.Bev.N.Bishop, from the General Convention of Vermont, spoke of the great influx of French Canadian Romanists in Vermont, and the responsibilities it laid upon Christians there and here to reach them with the Gospel.Bev.8.W.Magill, representing the American Missionary Association, stated that the Con-gregationalists of England and the United States, make that Associotion the channel and instruments of their efforts in benefitting the Freedmen, and asked that the Congregational churches in Canada would do the same.The Congregational College then occupied the attention of the Union for some time.After luncheon in the basement, the Union re-assembled at half-past-two.On recommendation of the membership Committee five ministers and two churches were received into the membership of the Union\u2014among others Zion Church, Toronto, and its pastor Rev.J.G.Manly.Se vieral resolutions of thanks, etc., were passed, and a recommendation to make a collection in the churches for the Widows\u2019 and Orphans\u2019 Fund.The Union adjourned at four o'clock, to meet again this morning at 9.VOLUNTEER MILITIA MOVEMENTS.INSPECTION OP THE GUIDES.On Saturday afternoon the Royal Guides, lately returned from the front, the Brigade of Garrison Artillery, the Engineers, and the half of Major Stevenson\u2019s Battery which now remains in the city, were inspected on the Champ de Mars by Major-General the Hon.James Lindsay.The whole of these corps looked remarkably well, and exceedingly military in their movements and dress.The Guides, of course, attracted a good deal of attention from the fact of their having been engaged with some of the ruffians who have been preying upon our frontier.The members of the troop were all splendidly mounted, and turned out iu full marching order.Maj.-Gen.Lindsay was accompanied in his inspection by Colonel Dyde, Commandant, Lieut.-Col.Macphersou, Brigade Major ; Lt.-Colonel David, and some other officers.The Major General closely examined the whole of the corps, and seemed to be highly satisfied with their appearance.He afterwards addressed the Guides in complimentary terms, in regard to their late service on the frontier, but we regret that his remarks were inaudible to our reporter.The troops afterwards marched past several times, and, after some other movements left the ground, and proceeded through the principal streets before dispersing.RETURN OP VOLUNTEERS.A company of the Victoria Rifles,\u2014Captain Bacon, one of the Hoclielagas, and one of the Prince of Wales,\u2014Capt.Bond, which have been stationed at St.Johns for a short time past, left thereat half-past five on Satuiday, and arrived at the Bonaventure Station m this city at 7:15 P.M.The men were all in good trim, and marched off with great steadiness.Large numbers of their friends assembled at the station to welcome them home.THANKS

TELEGRAPH,) GENERAL PRESS DESPATCHES, ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF PARIS.GITY ITEMS.Theatre Royal.\u2014The very interesting drama of the \u201cWoman in Red,\u201d with all its beautiful effects, on its second representation on Saturday evening drew a very crowded and fashionable audience at the Theatre Royal.Much as we have heard of Madame Celeste, and exalted as were the anticipations the announcement of her coming had raised, we find them more than realized, and that the trumpet tongue of fame for once has not exaggerated.She combines power with grace and dignity with ease, to which is added the effect of a right royal, queenly bearing.Her acting is all honest and straight-forward, without any of that clap-trap and straining after effect which mar the efforts of some of our best artists.No drama that has been presented in this city for years has created so great a sensation, or been more carefully produced, and we may add better acted than the \u201cWoman in Red.\u201d The part of \u201cTwitta,\u201d the bird-catcher, was\u201d played with great success by our comic favourite Vining Bowers,\u2014while each and every one in the cast was more than ordinarily careful in the rendering of their respective characters.This very successful drama will be presented but two night\u2019s more, and will then be withdrawn.Every lover of the drama should visit the Theatre to-night.Special Meeting op the Guy Council.\u2014A special meeting of this body will be held on Friday evening, the 22nd Juie, to consider the Report from the Special Committee on amendments to the

Central Poli\u2019e Station, Jacques Cartier Square, and under the guise of keeping an eating house, has kept a vile den of prostitution.He has on one or two occasions been brought before the Recorder for the same offence, but the evidence not being technically conclusive he was discharged.He has on these occasions pleaded his color, as a reason why the consideration and clemency of the Court should be granted him, a consideration which he has liberally received, only to abuse it.This feeling of clemency shielded him to some extent once more, when, his guilt being proved in the most undeniable manner, he was sentenced in the mitigated penalty of $25 and costs, or 3 months.Number of prisoners tried before the Recorder\u2019s Court, during the week ending the 16th instant,

Duval, C.J., Meredith, Mondelet, and Drummond, J.J.Queen v Daoust.\u2014Mondelet, J.\u2014At the March Term 1865 of the Court of Queen Bsmch at which X presided, Daoust was tried on an indictment for forgery of an endersation of a promissory note.From the evidence adduced at the trial there seemed no doubt, and X charged the jury, as I never shrink from doing where my conviction is strong, to return a verdict of guilty, and the jury did so.The most important evidence was that of Desforges, who stated that he had never authorized the prisoner to sign his name.The prisoner was subsequently put upon his trial for forging the same name on another note, and this time the jury found a verdict in his favour, no evidence tending to show that the prisoner had been authorized by Desforges to sign the name.The prisoner stood between two fires\u2014between a verdict of guilty and a verdict of not guilty.Towards the end of the term, Mr.Ouimet, the prisoner\u2019s counsel, moved for a new trial on i the first indictment, in order that the.witness Legault who testified that Desforges had authorized the prisoner to sign his name, might be heard.Mr.Johnson, who then represented the Attorney General, said that under the circumstances, he did nut think proper to oppose the granting of a new trial.I, having presided at both trials, and being au fait with the circumstances of both, having uo possible doubt that Daoust either believed himself authorized, or was really authorized to sign the name considered it not only justice, but an imperative duty, to grant a new trial.I wish to be clearly understood on this point.First, because an imperative sense of justice urged me to it ; and, secondly, because I believed the court had the power to do it.In the following, September, Term Mr.Justice Aylwin, who had then presiding, reserved the case for the consideration of the full Bench.It will be understood that my conviction must be very strong when I still adhere to it, though I find four judges for whose abilities I entertain such profound respect, differing from me in opinion.I start from this point: That the Court of Queen\u2019s Bench has the power to remedy any evil that comes before it, provided there be no law to the contrary.Starting from this point, I put the following question : When the first new trial in a case of misdemeanor was had in England, was there any law that authorized the Court of Queen\u2019s Bench to grant it ?I believe I am safe in-saying that there was none.There being, then, no law, there must have been some principle, and, in- my humble opinion, it must bave consisted in this unlimited power, inherent in the Court of Queen\u2019s Bench, to do what it considered necessary in the interests of justice.If these premises are well founded, I proceed to ask, as the Court granted a new trial in a case of misdemeanor for the first time, from the conviction that it had the right and power to do so, why should it not grant a new trial in cases of felony ?Why remedy a small evil while it left the subject convicted of felony, no recourse ?For there is no writ of error on-the evidence.I say, then, that if the Court of Queen\u2019s Bench has the right to order a new trial in a case of misdemeanor, of small importance it has the right to order it in the more serious case of a felony.It is said that the Courts would constantly be assailed with applications if new trials were allowed for felonies\u2014that we would never be able to hang anybody.But surely that is no reason for refusing to give an innocent man an opportunity of establishing his innocence.Then again, in civil cases, new trials are constantly granted ; nor is the trouble imposed on the judges any consideration for refusing them.But, it is urged, the Courts iu England have always refused to grant a new trial in cases of felony.I must say, that iu my opinion, this is no reason for continuing to refuse it.Many- things have been for centuries refused, and then the old practice has been departed from.Is it not true, for instance, that in all Courts counsel were prohibited from putting a question in cross-examination that did not proceed from the examination-in-chief?I remember the time myself.So at one time it was asserted that a jury could never be discharged after retiring to deliberate upon their verdict, nor could meat or drink be provided them till they w re agreed.It is said that a man who has been convicted must go to the Executive and \u2022 ask for a pardon.Now, I do not relish the idea that an innocent man must go upon his knees before the Governor-General, or the Attorney-General, and ask for a pardon Besides, is there not something incongruous in a man saying, \u201clam innocent, but I want a pardon\u201d There is another case to be mentioned.It might happen that in times of high political excitement, such as I hope will never prevail in this country, that the Government might be desirous ot getting rid of a formidable opponent, and if a conviction had been obtained against him, would not be inclined to grant a pardon In Upper Canada a law exists allowing the Court to grant a new trial in cases of felony.Why have wo not that law here ?I answer, because the Judges have the power to grant a new trial without any special statute.I believe they did not require a statute in Upper Canada ; but the people asked for a statute, thinking, perhaps, that the Judges might hesitate about granting a new trial.Meredith, J.\u2014The first point to he considered in this case is as to whether the main question submitted to us is one which, under the statute, could be reserved for our opinion.Upon this siuijeet there has been much difference of opinion upon the Bench in England, and as all the arguments on the one side and the other, with respect to what questions may be reserved, will be found in the well known case of the Queen vs.Miller, I shall limit myself to a brief statement of the reasons which induce me to think that the question reserved is one which we have power to consider.The words of the law are very general.\u201c The Court before which the case has been tried may, in its 11 discretion, reserve any question of law which \u201c has arisen on the trial for the consideration \u201c of the said Court of Queen\u2019s Bench, on the \u201c appeal side thereof.\u201d There can be no doubt that the question, \u201c Can there be a new trial in a case of felony,\u201d is a question of law ; and I ihink that question may be said to have a: isen \u201c on the trial,\u201d because to repeat the words made use of by Baron Rolfe ynow Lord Cranworth) in the case of the Queen vs.Martin, \u201c the word \u201c\u2018trial\u2019 ought to be taken in a liberal sense, \u201c and includes all the proceedings in the Court below.\u201d In the case just cited the Court for Crown Cases reserved, composed of Wilde, and Bolfe and H»ti Baron, unanimously held that a question of law raised by motion in arrest of judgments, after the conviction of the prisoner, may be reversed under the 1 l£h and 12th Victoria, c.78 ; that being the English act establishing a Court for Crown Cases Reserved.The first question submitted to us by the learned Judge is, whether a second trial can be legally had in the present case, it being a case of felony, and I think that this highly important question may at this day be answered in very nearly the same words used by Chitty half-a-century ago, namely, \u201c in case of felony or treason it seems to me completely settled that no new trial can be granted.\u201d .There is, it is true, one case, the Queen vs.Scaife, in which a new trial was granted in a case of felony.I have looked into several reports of this case, and they all concur in showing that it was argued and decided exclusively on the ground that certain illegal evidences had been received, and not one word was said about the difficulty of allowing a new trial in a case of felony- until all the Judges had given their reasons in support of the judgment.But then Mr.Dearsley, the counsel for the prisoner, \u201csuggested there was a difficulv in ascertaining \u201c what rule should be drawn, no precedent \u201chaying been found for a new trial in a case of \u201c felony.\u201d To which Lord Campbell answered : \u201c That might have been an argument against \u201c our hearing the motion.\u201d Now it seems to me that if it might have been an argument against the hearing of the motion, it might also have been an argument for the reconsideration of the judgment.It may here he observed that the case just cited had b en removed by certiorari from the Quarter Sessions to the Court of Queen\u2019s Bench, and it appears that where this is done according to English practice, \u201c the charge is dealt with at the Civil side of the Court, and is subject to all the incidents of a civil cause.\u201d Mr.De&rsby who, from what I have already said, appears to have been the counsel for the prisoner, refers to this case in his small work called \u201c Criminal Process,\u201d and, after saying \u201c all the authorities in the \" books, go to show that in cases of felony or \u201c treason, no new trial can in any case be \u201c granted.\u201d adds, though this position is for the moat part correct, it must be received with some qualification.He, then referring to the decision of the Queen and Scaife, says : \u201c And \u201c the principle seems to be this, that where \u201c such a case is removed into the Court of \u201c Queen\u2019s Bench, and is sent down to be tried \u201c at nisi prius, that all the incidents of a trial \u201c at nisi prius attach to It \u201d This much is plain, that whatever may he the rule with respect to cases moved by certiorari into the Queen\u2019s Bench, the rule with respect to cases tried iu the ordinary course of law was, when the criminal law of England was extended to this country, and still is, that there cannot be a new trial in cases of treason and felony.Repeated attempts have been made in Parliament to change the law in this respect, and those attempts have been invariably resisted, not on the ground that the law was not as stated by those who sought a change ; but ou the contrary-, on the ground that the change proposed would not be an improvement.It is true that in Upper Canada the distinction between misdemeanours and crime of greater magnitude has been done away with, in so far as respects the right to obtain a new trial ; but this has been done by statute, and if legislation for that purpose was necessary in Upper Canada, it is still more liecessary here ; for it is plain that if an application for a new trial were allowed, it ought to be made to the Court of Queen\u2019s Bench sitting in appeal, held Dy at least four judges, and not to the Court of Queen\u2019s Bench on the Crown side usually held by one judge.And it is equally plain that under the existing law, such an application could not be made to the Court of Appeals.It is not for the court to decide whether it is desirable to change our law so as to admit of a new trial in eases of treason and felony.I admit that it is difficult in theory to answer the arguments that have been urged for giving a party, in cases of the utmost moment, a right tnat is freely accorded to him id cases of much less importance, but no one who has had experience in the works of Criminal Courts can fail to see that there are practical objections of great gravity against the making of the change proposed.The Imperial Parliament upon several occasions has been called upon to consider this subject, and the opinions of almost all the judges were obtained in relation to it.And we know the bill which was introduced by Mr.McMahon in 1860 for the establishment of a Court of Criminal Appeals, the main object of which was to give a new trial in cases of treason, was not allowed to be read a second time, and was rejected without a division, aud that the same fate attended a bill introduced by Mr.Britt, for the same purpose, in 1861 ; Another bill was, I believe, introduced in 1864; but in England the law on this subject still remains unchanged.Our law on this subject is the law of England, and, in the absence of Provincial Legislation, I think it would be nothing short of a usurpation on our part were wo to attempt to exercise a power which the Imperial Pa-liament has deliberately and repeatedly refused to grant to any Court in Engr land.For these reasons I am of opinion that the first question submitted to us by the learned Judge ought to be answered in the negative.The second question proposed is as to the course to be persued, should there be a motion to obtain a new trial.This, it seems to me, and I say it with all deference, is a question to ho determined by the learned Crown prosecutor, and were we to answer it, I apprehend we would, in affect, offer that learned officer advice for which he has not asked, and by which he might not deem it consistent with his duty to be guided.I, therefore, submit that it will be well for us to abstain, for the present, from the expression of anv opinion upon the second question submitted.Drummond, J.\u2014The law is fi^ed by the practice of the Courts.If we are to adopt the principle laid down by Mr.Justice Mondelet\u2014 that we have no criminal law but what is contained in the Statutes, and that each Judge, where there is no Statute, can wield unlimited power\u2014we may as well close our Courts of Justice.The administration of criminal law would become utterly impossible.The criminal law in this country is the law and the practice of the Courts as it existed at the time it was transplanted into this country.Whatever respect I may have for modern Judges, if they differ from what was the law at the time it was transplanted into this country, I shall follow the old law, and this law, as laid down by Kenyon and other eminent Judges, was clear beyond doubt that no new trial could be had in cases of felony.We have to administer the law as laid down in the books.If the Judges err in their view of the case, they err in about the best company of intellectual men that can be found in the world.We make uo order; wa merely say that Judge Aylwin was right in reserving the question, and that he was perfectly correct in refusing to proceed with a new trial.Duvali C.J., expressed his concurrence in the views.selves were a violation of our laws, That these were not arrested was because of their farcical character.They had impunity in the universal lack of confidence in their declarations.The leaders of one of the Fenian factions have deemed it necessary to precipitate______ attempt to invade Caneda, which they knew to be impossible of success, partly for the purpose of headiug off the other faction, and partly to meet this universal lack of confidence in their sincerity.Whether they have removed this or not, they have established the proof that their organization is a violation of our laws, and have compelled the Governineot to prosecute it.It cannot neglect this duty without abandoning the administration of lai^ and becoming accessory to the offense.* Much stress is laid upon the conduct of British neutrality in England and the British American Provinces iu our civil war.and it is assumed by the Fenians that in imitation of that, our Government must permit them to use the United States as a base to make war upon Canada.The American Republic does not recognize the binding force of an example of bad faith.But although the English aud Canadian citizens generally sympatnized with the rebel enterprises that were fitted out iu England and Canada, aud although transparent pretexts were allowed to cover them, yet their Government did recognize the duty of preventing them when evidence was furnished that they were for hostile purposes against the United States ; and our Government persists in holding the Government of Great Britain responsible for the damages caused by the rebel ships that were fitted out in England.There was enough of bad faith in English neutrality to demoralize the rules of of neutrality, and that Government may now see the consequences of her conduct, in the encouragement which it has given the Fenians to believe tint under neutrality as practiced by .England America could be made a base for making war on the British Possessions.But the Confederates did not go into England and theCanada and proclaim from the housetops their enlisting and fittiug out of expeditions to invade the United States, nor declare their hostile purposes, nor announce when and where the blow would bo struck, as is the Fenian manner They kept up some subterfuge.And ineffectual as the prosecutions were iirihe Uanadian and English Courts, the duty of presenting and prosecuting was recognized, when the evidence was iurnisled.The English Government eventually interposed to prevent the ironclad ships from sailing, and our Government always held it responsible for any injuries committed by expeditions fitted out in her jurisdiction.General POOR HORSES.¦ Thei-e are thousands of poor horses dragging out a miserable existence, suffering from variety of diseases, rendering them almost worthless, that would be restored

declaring in his speech at Buffalo, that if it undertakes to play the watch dog for England, Irishmen will he its enemies.The United States must sus-peml their laws, and become accessories to the Fenian war against England must involve themselves in a war wdth England\u2014for this wild Irish project, or the Irishmen will execute vengeance upon it.Such a threat is thrown out by an open breaker of our laws, who is already liable to a severe penalty.And how will this threat be execuial ?By mating war ?Their long and openly prepared war against Canada does not make the menace fearful in that aspect.By their votes as citizens of the United States ?How can they vote worse than they have done for the last six years\u2014always ?The Government lias survived their votes in the perils of a great civil war, when the bulk of them were cast for tlie success of the Confederates ; it has survived their votes always for the Democratic party : what worse can they do by voting ?It is time for these men to be informed what they are, and what they are doing, since none of them seem to know.They are citizens of the United States, owing allegiance to its laws, and openly breaking them.They have abused this nation by taking the cover of its citizenship to carry on rebellion against their former Goverament.And with characteristic Irish recklessness, they have undertaken to drag their country into a war for a wild project which the best of their own race believe to be impossible and undesirable, and which to the rest of mankind seems so absurd that they can believe their sincerity only at the expense of their reflective faculties.HERALD OFFCE, l Montreal, Saturday, June 16.J The weather to-day has been fine and warm until the afternoon, when it rained considerable, but turned

John Harbins, who keeps a groggery on the Market Square, and best kuovm by the name of \u201cCheap Jack,\u201d was arrested on Saturday ou suspicion of being a Fenian.Jack\u2019s antecedents have secured for him the honour of particular attention on the part of Chief of Police Nicolls aud his subordinates.He may not he a Fenian, but if he is not common report does him great injustice.It seems rather questionable whether Jack\u2019s house is a proper ouo for Her Majesty\u2019s soldiers to frequent, though he did enjoy the benefit ot no small amount of soldiers custom.For some mouth or two past, however, the house has been under a military interdict.The examination was commenced yesterday Mr* Cahill presiding, with aldermen Crawford and Chisholm also ou the bench.Mr.Tnorne and Mr.Luxton, gave evidence that they had on various occasions heard Harkins declare in the strongest terms his sympathy with the Fenian movement, and his hearty wish that the \u201c d-British Government \u201d might be destroyed, and Ireland set free.An adjournement to three o\u2019clock this afternoon was granted to Harkins, so enable him to bring certain witness forward.Mr Harkins conducted his own case, and entered upon the rather difficult task of proving a negative.If Mr.Thorne and Mr.Luxton had heard him utter treasonable sentiments, he could bring numbers of witnesses who had not heard him say anything of the kind.More than that, some intimate friends of his own, had heard him declare most emphatically, his disapproval of the plan of liberating Ireland by an invasion ot Canada.It seemed, however, on the showing of his own friends, that he througt Ireland much in need of \u201cliberation.\u201d A tur-ther adjournment till lo-morow, was granted him, to procure further evidence.The charge so far, is not one of treasonable acts, but of seditious conversation only.A U.S.military rifle, with bayonet, cartouche, he., complete, was found in his house, together with some pistols aud ammunition.(by telegraph.)
