The Case Of Archdeacon" Jdbnison. The Co...
¦ what he had stated was , that they received the body and blood of Christ to their damnation . It was rather hard that he should be represented as stating simpliciter that the wickqd received the body and blood of Christ . He had stated that he was quite ready to deny that the ¦ wicked received the body and blood of Christ simpliciter , but he was not prepared to deny that they received it to their damnation . The Court would perceive the difference . —Dr . Lushington said the question was not whether they received it to their damnation , but
• whether they received it at all . The other proposition was : " It is true that "worship is due to the real , though invisible and supernatural , presence of the body and . blood of Christ in the holy eucharist under the form of bread and wine . "—Dr . Phillimore asked whether the ¦ words in the homily were objected to ?—Dr . Lushington said the whole of what he had stated was objected to as not being consistent with the doctrine contained in the articles , —Dr . Phillimore then said he would confer with his client upon the subject .
On his return to the court , he read a declaration by the Archdeacon , in which lie repeated the explanation given above of his interpretation of the sacrament , as received by the wicked , and , with respect to the question of worship , added : — " My proposition is , —It is true that ¦ worship is due to the real , though invisible and supernatural , presence of the body and blood of Christ in the holy eucharist under the form of bread and wine . I have in the only two places in which I have spoken of the worship due expressly denied that worship is due to the consecrated elements . I am unable to deny that Christ himself , the thing signified of the sacrament , is to be worshipped in and with the sacrament . I say that , apart from and without the sacrament , wheresoever he is he is to be worshipped . I disclaim any other worship . "
Dr . Lu 3 hirigtoh considered this , not a retractation , but a reiteration , of what had been said before . He then proceeded to deliver judgment , which he did at great length , concluding by saying that it became the duty of the Court to pTonounce the sentence of deprivation . Mr . Bathurst , the" proctor for Archdeacon Denison , having in the usual form prayed justice , Mr . F . H . Dyke , the Registrar , read the sentence , which , like every other part of the proceedings , was of a most wearisome length and full of technical diffuseness , but the upshot of which was , that the Archdeacon was deprived cf his Archdeaconry , of the vicarage and parish church of East Brent , Somersetshire , and of all profits and benefits accruing therefrom .
Dr . Bayford said that he had been particularlv instructed by his client , the Rev . Joseph Ditcher ( the ' prosecutor ) , not to pray for costs ; consequently no mention of them had been made in the sentence . Dr . Lushington : "Then you waive the costs ? " Dr . Bayford as-8 entedv Mr . Bathurst said that it now became his duty to assert an appeal . Mr . G . Burchett , on behalf of Arr . Ditcher , prayed his Grace toassign Mr . Bathurst a time to prosecute the appeal . Dr . Lushington : " To the oth of December . The Registrar then declared that the Coar t had adjourned siae die .

The Neapolitan Question. The Following I...
THE NEAPOLITAN QUESTION . The following important note appears in the Montteur of Monday : — " Peace having been concluded , the first care of the Congress of Paris was to insure the duration of it . " With this object , the Plenipotentiaries investigated the elements of disturbance that still existed in Europe ; and they especially directed their attention to the condition of Italy , Greece , and Belgium . " The court of Naples alone has haughtily rejected the
advice of Franco and England , though offered in the most friendly manner . The measures of rigour and coercion adopted for a long time past , as the means of administration , by tlie Government of the Two Sicilies , agitato Italy and compromise the continuance of order in Europe . Under a conviction of the dangers of such a state of things , France and England had hoped to obviate them by prudent advice given at an opportune time . This advice was misunderstood ; and the Government of the Two Sicilies , closing its eyes to all evidence , resolved to persist in its fatal course .
" The ill reception accorded to legitimate observations —an insulting doubt thrown over the purity of our intentions— offensive language opposed to salutary counsels , and anally an obstinate refusal—could not allow the longer continuance of amicable relations . " Tuia suspension of official intercourse in no sense constitutes any intervention in internal affairs , and still less any act of . hostility . Nevertheless , the security of nrorSd X w ? ° ™ ™** being possibly cLHTltJ ^ \ ° provido a « ainst 8 uch a c ° " « n-Sk ™ !

CONTINENTAL NOTES . FiiANCB . The Emperor and Empress have left Paris for Compiegne , where they will stay for three weeks , and after that , it is said , will proceed to PontainebleavL . Some grand fetes and hunting parties are to be given at Cdmpiegne-It is rumoured that a good deal of agitation has recently occurred in the department of the Deux-Sevres , of which Niort is the chief town . Indeed , it is said to have lasted the whole of September . The arrest of a repris de justice led to the discovery of the existence of a new society , the objects of which are said to be the
burning of the crops and the extermination of the rich and of the priests . The society is connected with the " Marianne . " Sixty persons have been arrested near the canton of Thouars . The gendarmes who captured them were so vigorously attacked by tlie peasantry that for a time they were forced to let them go . The prisoners have been tried and sentenced to various penalties by the tribunals . Fre 3 h arrests have been made in the Faubourg St . Antoine within the last few days . They are said to have nothing to do with politics , but to be attributable to the strike which lias taken place in an establishment of that quarter , and which threatens to extend to others .
The Moniteur of Wednesday publishes the text of an additional convention to that of November 22 nd , 1834 :, concluded between France and Belgium for t"he extradition ; of criminals . In consists of the following single article : —" Shall not be considered as a political offence , nor act connected with such offence ( clelW ) , an attempt against the person of a foreign sovereign , or against the person of members of his family , when such attempt shall constitute the fact either of murder , assassination , or poisoning . "
. . ¦ , . . " . .. '¦ . ¦ ITALY . ¦ . " .. - . " .. ;¦ ¦ ¦ Central and Northern Italy is in a very disturbed state , owing to repeated acts of brigandage , robbery , and murder , which the various despotic Governments , active and vigorous as they are in suppressing free action and free thought on the part of honest men , are unable or unwilling to check . An incident has also occurred at Meldola , in the Papal States , which may perhaps lead to another occupation by Austrian troops . "On Sunday , the 5 th inst ., " says the Times Turin correspondent , " a disturbance took place in that town in consequence of the gendarmes stationed there having taken the law into their own hands and inflicted summary punishment on two young men who had smoked in front of the
gendarme barracks contrary to the regulations , and contrary to the commands of the gendarmes , who saw them doing so ; or , rather , they beat one for smoking and the other for remonstrating , and ended by imprisoning them both . The mayor of the town having been appealed to by the people , interceded with the police for the release of the young men , but without other effect than receiving an impertinent answer from the commander of the gendarmes . This irritated the people , who threw themselves upon the gendarmes and drove them into a tavern , together with some soldiers who had joined- them , and in the struggle which ensued , in breaking open the door of the tavern , which they had barricaded , one of the gendarmes was killed and the soldiers were disarmed . "
On the fete clay of the Hereditary Prince of Naples , the English and French Embassies illuminated ; not so the Sardinian . " The Cabinet , " says a letter from Vienna , in a German paper , " has examined a petition from the provincial council of Brescia setting forth the exorbitant taxes with which that district was charged , and has decided that the complaint was not without foundation . The representations of the council will belaid before the Emperor , but measures will be taken to prevent similar
petitions being addressed to the Government in future . " A case has been opened by the Neapolitan Procureur-General against the two individuals arrested for having expressed their approbation of the decision of the judges in the late political cause ; but the judges , on retiring to consider whether thcro was sufficient ground for a prosecution , decided in the negative , and the accused were therefore liberated , after ten days' confinement . One of the political prisoners ( Amodio ) has been liberated , having gone mad from the effects of confinement and ill-usage .
SPAIN . In connexion with the new Government , we read that General Pezuela is appointed Director of Cavalry ; the Duke de Ahumada , Inspector-General of the Civil Guard ; General Sanz , Oaptain-General of Madrid ; the Brigadier Monsa de Zuniga , Under-Sccrctary-for-War and M . Zaragoza , Civil Governor of Madrid . The Government also intends to make use of the services of the Vicalvarist Generals Ros de Olano and Messina . General Cordova is mentioned as likely to fill the post of Director of Infantry . General Dulco has been ordered to reside at Santander . General O'Donnell is to leave for France .
It has been reported that a serious misunderstanding which took place between General Narvaoz and General I ' rancisco Armero ia the reason why the latter does not join the Cabinet . However , at the last ball given at the
Palace , it was remarked that the two Generals conversed together most amicably for some time . On the 8 th inst ., the Duchess de Montpensier was safely delivered , at Seville , of an Infanta . The creation of a department for commerce and the colonies appeared to be finally decided upon . Marshal Serrano , the Spanish Ambassador at Paris , has transmitted his resignation to Madrid . General Don Manuel Concha has resigned all the appointments he held in tlie Junta of the Colonies and Council of War . He has also asked for leave to go to Granada , which has been granted .
At a Council of Ministers on the evening of the 13 th inst ., it was decided that the additional act of the Constitution of 1845 should le annulled , that the old Royal Council should be re-established with all its former members , that the state of siege should be no longer maintained , and that all the former Senators should be reinstated . A royal decree also restores to the Bishops the power of conferring holy orders , conformably to the Concordat , and' authorizes novices to profess in convents ; . .. ¦ .. ' . -. : ¦ ' ¦ : ' ¦ .... Senor Guell y Rente has been set at liberty .
"With , respect to the outrage committed by Narvaez on Senor Guell y Rente , of -which w « gave an account last week , a Madrid letter , emanating from a person who was , until lately , a warm admirer of Narvaez , contains the following : — " General Narvaez has now become an object of hatred with all , and of contempt with many , in consequence of the late extraordinary occurrence , of which no doubt you have loug since heard , and which is unparalleled in our modern history . His most intimate friends condemn him , or the few who hesitate to censure him in public endeavour to explain his conduct by an attack of mental alienation , of which they say symptoms appear now and theru ^ ihey declare that when General
Narvaez sees not meSprone of bis political adversaries , but even any of the Moderado party who happen to dissent from his opinions , he says to those who are in his company , ' Hold me back ! I am . getting beside myself !' ( Detenedme ! que mevqi a perder ¦ ' . ''¦}; and in truth the change that takes place in his countenance , the swelling of his veins , and the wild expression of his eyes , which all at once become suffused with blood , show that at such a moment he is labouring under a terrible crisis . " The writer then proceeds to give an account of the outrage at Madarne Aleson ' s , which he says was accompanied with language , on the part of Narvaez , of the grossest and most indecent character , and with , many oaths .
Various accounts are still received from Spain with reference to the affairof Guell y Bente , aid to the change of ministry . The latter would seem to be owing to O'Donnell not falling in with the Queen ' s desire to annul the law of de " samortizacioii . At the ball given , on the birthday of the Queen , her Majesty showed such favour to Narvaez and such coldness to O'Donnell , that the latter abruptly withdrew on the plea that his wife was unwell . On the 11 th inst ., the ex-Minister ( according to a letter from Madrid ) said he had heard some rumours about the formation of a . new Ministry , and he wished to know whether the Queen had resolved
anything new on that subject . The Queen answered , that she could not possibly separate from him—that she wanted him most particularly—and that he deserved all her confidence . A day or two afterwards , however , the Ministers resigned in a body . " "While the Ministers were at the council of the lltli , held in the night , they observed that there were some persons behind the curtains listening to them ; one of them was discovered bv a violent fit of coughing which he was unable to restrain . On the Ministers presenting their resignations , tears rolled down the cheeks of the Queen ; but , while she was putting her handkerchief to her « yes , they saw clearly she was laughing . "
The accouchement of the Infanta Duchess of Montpensier is officially declared to have taken place sooner than was anticipated , and , in consequence , a host of grandees and representatives of foreign . Courts who had been ordered , or invited , to be present , were unable to get to Seville in time . The Queen , in a decree published on the 18 th , conferred on the young Infanta the Grand Cordon of the JNoble Ladies of Maria Luisa .
PRUSSIA . The Prussian Cabinet is stated by the Daily News Berlin correspondent to entertain the idea of trying to induce the Emperor of Morocco to cede to Prussia the territory occupied by the Riff pirates , for the establishment of a long contemplated penal colony , which would also have the beneficial effect of preventing for the future any further insults to foreign flags by these gentry on the coast of Africa . It is in contemplation to send a special ambassador to Morocco to negotiate- the terms of a treaty with the Emperor .
RUSSIA .. By an Imperial ukase the Protestant and Roman Catholic chaplains attached to the Russian army are henceforth placed on an equal footing aa regards state pay & c , with those of the Greek Church . The Czar re-entered St . Petersburg on the 14 th inst The coronation fetes , thereforo , are now at an end . TURKEY . The Prussian Correspondence announces that the com mission appointed to establish the now lino of frontic
