     Even the most enlightened Oriental can-

     and though there is little chance of the 
     
     Ottoman territory being occupied for a 
     
     term of years yet we contemplate such 
     
     an event without believing either that an 
     
     objectionable body of men would thus be

     The whole dominions ofthe Pope are di- 
     
     vided into 20 provinces, of which Rome is 
     
     the chief. Of the remaining nineteen, six 
     
     have the rank oflegations, and are govern- 
     
     ed by cardinals, whilst the other thirteen 
     
     are delegations under " prelates," some of 
     
     whom are not necessarily churchmen. 
     
     Both of these classes of provinces are sub- 
     
     divided again into districts, governorships, 
     
     and communes, whose administrative chiefs, 
     
     as in the case of the delegations, may or 
     
     may not be ecclesiastics. Of the whole of 
     
     this territory, the supreme government lies 
     
     in the hands of the Pope and a council of 
     
     ministers, of which last the Cardinal Sec- 
     
     retary of State is the chief, and from the 
     
     nearly autocratic influence of his position 
     
     is genera|ly—as in the present case of 
     
     Monsignora Antonelli—the virtual ruler of 
     
     the country. The old hierarchy of Con-

     the remaining members of the cabinet may 
     
     or may not be laymen ; but the practical 
     
     worth ofthis innovation is nothing, as at no 
     
     time, I believe, since it was first permitted, 
     
     has the lay element in the council been 
     
     more than atliird ofthe whole, and we may 
     
     pretty safely take for granted, that the con- 
     
     servative disposition of even this quota is 
     
     made sure before its admission to oflice. 
     
     Unsatisfactory, however as is the constitu- 
     
     tion of this supreme board, whose functions 
     
     are at once legislative and executive, the 
     
     s stem on which justice is administered 
     
     throughout the country is infinitely more 
     
     so, and constitutes, in fact_ the one great 
     
    

    
     overnmental bane from which nine-tenths 
     
     of all the others proceed. Based entirely

     by a swee ing reform which shall entirely 
     
     abolish this mass of antiquated absurdities 
     
     and substitute for it It code in harmony 
     
     with pure justice and the advanced intelli- 
     
     gence ofthe age. By this body of median- 
     
     val outrages upon equity and common sense 
     
     the 50,Gl0 secular and other clergy form a 
     
     privileged class, amenable to no tribunal 
     
     but that of the bishops, and enjoy a 
     
     long list of immunities, every one of 
     
     which involves a wrong to the laity.; whilst

     Berlin letter, referring to the late Ameri- 
     
     can undress episode at the Queen’s leeve, 
     
     says:-—The United States legation at this

     peared at court in a sort of uniform, with a 
     
     sprinkling of gold embroidery on cuff and 
     
     collar, sword and cocked hat. in conse- 
     
     quence, however, of orders from home, the 
     
     embroidery has been set aside latterly, and 
     
     Mr. Broom and the gentlemen of his mis- 
     
     sion have appeared in a sort of clerical 
     
     dress, with knee breechcs and tliree-cor- 
     
     nered hats. This attire forms a strong 
     
     contrast to the glitter by which they are 
     
     surrounded on court or gain diplomatic 
     
     occasions, but is accepted as an apology 
     
     for more splendid costiiirre. It offends no 
     
     one unless it be the wearers, who run the 
     
     risk of being mistaken for servants out of

     orders were stringent, and that the King of

     termed packing the Jury:  -- ~ - 
     
     And Deponent furthor saith, that he hath good 
     
     reason to believe, and doth verily believe, thn 
     
     the said Defendant, or some person on his behalf 
     
     hath had some not or part in the lelgcfiojj 
     
     of the said persons named in the said Jury plnngj 5,, 
     
     issues, or of some of them; and that Deponem 
     
     verily believes the said John Williams, from his 
     
     deep political prejudices against Deponsut, and 
     
     strong any bias and general doubtful character, is 
     
     altogether en unfit and improper person to select an 
     
    
   
   
    
     impartial Jury to try the said cause; and that it 
     
     would be quite unsafe and useless for Deponem .0 
     
     try the said cause on the Jar pannel now returned, 
     
     or on any to he returned by the said John Williams; 
     
     and the further to show the designs sad psrtiality ol‘ 
     
     the said John Wlllisnis in the above ceuse, Deno. 
     
     nent begs to refer this Honorable Court to ihs 
     
     annexed copies of 8 several Special Jury panels 
     
     returned in three other cases for trial this same term 
     
     marked B, Csnd D respectively, in which Deponeni 
     
     is not at all in tsrested, and wherein there were 
     
     spperontly no political or other improper motives to 
     
     actuate the said John \Vil|iams to an improper selec. 
     
     lion; and wherein the nenies of Jurors returned prg. 
     
     sent s fair and proper specimen of Special Jurors in 
     
     the said County, taken indiscriniiniitely , and without 
     
     respect to poiticsl or part hiss; wiih gm," of 
     
     w 'ch ssid returns or anythhig of a similar nature, 
     
     Depcnent would have been perfectly sslisfiod and 
     
     contented in the shove cause. and so to have tried 
     
     the said cause; but Deponcnt is advised and verily 
     
     believes. that it is quite useless to go to trial, to ex. 
     
     pect ii fair and impartial verdict from say 12 men 
     
     returned on the said Jury in this cause' 
     
    

    
     Upon these, but principally upon the last 
     
     uncontradicted assertion, the Court decided, 
     
     that the rule should be made absolute, and s 
     
     new venire awarded, directed to the Coroner of 
     
     Queen's County, resident in Charlottetown, 
     
     —Daniel llodgson, Es .,-—and that he should 
     
     take the names of the pecial Jurors returned 
     
     in the several cases of Reddin and Dingwell, 
     
     Csvonsgh and Lydiard, and McGill and 
     
     McLean, and from these draw by lot, forty- 
     
     eight, which should form a list from which a 
     
     Special Jur should be struck in the usual 
     
     way. Mr. helan, the defendant, has, in the 
     
     last F.z~arm'ner, published the Aflidavit in full, 
     
     together with the names of the Special Jury, 
     
     and indulges after his own fashion, in a violent 
     
     tirade a inst McLean, styling the Afiidavit 
     
     " the silliest and shallowest reduction that 
     
     was ever penned.” With all oference, this is 
     
     ver silly and very shallow conduct on the put 
     
     r. Whelnn. If the Affidavit were all this, 
     
     and beside this, false, as he asserts that it is, 
     
     —wh , in the name of common sense did not 
     
     . illiains and Mr. Whelnn ut in a ‘chat 
     
     counter Affidsvit. if not as to the first, at cost 
     
     as to the latter part! As the learned Jud e 
     
     observed,-in the absence of all denial on the 
     
     other side, the Court is bound to believe that 
     
     the alle tion is true—and thus no alternative 
     
     was le t. Now, this was a fact within the 
     
     knowledge of both Whelnn and Williams, and 
     
     it does not do for Mr. Whelnn to ooine forward 
     
     under the editorial head of his newspaper, and 
     
     make counter statements; these should have 
     
     been done in o a Court and under the sanction 
     
     ofan oath. hen a men is openly accused of 
     
     an illegal and immoral act. and he submitg to 
     
     the accusation, and does not offer even a denial 
     
     ofthe charge, the standers-by must believe him 
     
     guilty, and it is in vain for him to leave their 
     
     presence and say in another lace, i could have 
     
     denied it. lfhe could have onied the allege- 
     
     tions, he should have done so there and then.

     i." 
     
    
   
   
    
     and any subsequent denial seems clogged with 
     
     a suspicion of falsehood, and looks as if the 
     
     part lisd been driven into that whiohs high- 
     
     spirited and honest. man would havodone stones, 
     
     or rather have never rested till hehad taken every 
     
     pains to wipe out the as ersion. We cannot 
     
     iolp thinking, that Mr. illiums and Whelnn 
     
     have both let slip the “golden opportunity." 
     
     helan's observations put us in mind ofa man 
     
     who, defeated in it contest, boasted that he 
     
     might have beaten his adversary if he had to- 
     
     kea the trouble so to do. People, generall 
     
     speaking. are of opinion, that when a men su - 
     
     fers another to give him a sound drubbing, ti 
     
     is because he cannot. help himself.
