Toe number of arrests made in Paris during the three days of the riots was 860, Some of the prison- ers have been set at liberty. The Morgen Post of Vienna announces that some grave disscnsions which broke out between tue Aus- trian Minister of War and the Archdukes Aijbert, Leopold and William, have decided the latter to abandon the posts they respectively occupicd as inspectors of the army, of engineers and of artillery in tue Austrian army.

He, his son, Prince Ibraium, and the retinue, were then driven in state carriages to the royal castie, where the Crown Prince was im attendance to greet him.

ENGLAND. Comments of the English Press on the Irish Charch Bill. ‘The*London Telegraph of the 14th says:— Aby amendments compatible with the mai object of te measure will receive the most atventive ¢con- sideration, and, no doubt, by skilful management, the Lory Healer could effect considerable changes. Amendments like some of those piaced before the jlouse of Commons by Mr. Disraeli would, of course, be out of the question, since, as the noble Earl observed, they would uot only have left the Church endowments untouched, but have absolutely increased them by the sum of £1,300,000 or £1,400,000, Ammendiments conceived in @ spiric of iaivness and moderation have every chance of success. With marked vigor Lord Grai ville Was supported by Lord Clarendon, who gained the most intimate acquaintance with Irish affairs while Insh Secretary, and is at this moment equally alivé to the statesmanship of the whole suajcct. From the conservative side the main argument of Lord Granville and Lord Clarendon was powerfully retuforced by Lord Carnarvon, whg urged his party to accept tue bill On diiterent rounds the Archbishop of Canterbury advised that 2 House should agree to the second reading. Winle condeinning the measure. he urged that the Wisest course for charchmen to pursue wa3 to amend it in committee; and the Primate'’s votce will, no doubt, have great influence, Indeed, we repeat, after such @ nat night we cannot doubt tue issue, The barfen Victory wiuch.the conser- vative party would win by defeating the bill would be as futile as it must be shortiived, the gain which awaits judicious treatment in committee would be alike at and permanent, The London Standard of the same date has the following:— The Nouse of Lords has been subjected to an amount of pressure by the friegds of the Trish Chareh which is eutirety without precedent. What we desire to insist upon is, that it has been all in one direction. Whether we take the language of churchmen or Provestant dissenters, of depuiations from Ireland or of meetings in England, its burden is in every case identical. No one asks the House of Lords to ameud the bill in committee. All are unanimous in demanding that the bill shall be rejected on the second reading. It is almost made the condition upon which the -conservative party have received such widespread support that the bill shall not be sutfered to pass into comuffttee. The Peers are in a manner forced to deal with it in this manner, and We trust that so imporiant a con- siderauion will not be lost sight of by those who might be Gisposed to favor a more tentative course of action. After all, we have 1 on unimpeachable authority that the government wiil not recognize even the possibility of a compromise, and that they “wiil not allow the bili to be tampered with in any way,” because “its principle invoives all its details.” The Peers are told that they must pass the bili as it stands, and that they ‘will alter it at their peril. We can hardly be surprised that the: should take up the challenge at ihe earliest possible moment rather than stave ito with a prelummary sham fight. As Mr. Gathorne Lardy said at Leaming- von, the government employed their strength in the House of Commons with “inexeorabie harshness,” rejecting every amendment which in the smallest de- gree mitigated the severity of the measure, and con- pe nel it goes up tothe House of Lords “in all its formity, muquity and injustice.’ They are warned that they must either pass the bill as it stands, or throw itout. ifonty the Ors: alternative is sible, it is due to the tyrannical behavior of Mr. Gladstone and his majority, FRANCE. The Recent RiotsThe Excitement in Parix. {From Galignant, Jane 14.) The oane Paris may now be considered at an end. Last night and on Saturday evening everytuing took place on the Boulevards without disturbance. On the former occasion, at haif-past nine, a detach- ment of cavalry, composed of Gardes de Paris and some hussars, made their epocarance and were sa- dated with the bravos of the pubilc. At ten some groups formed at the corner of the Faubourg Mont- marire and obstructed the entrance to that thor- oughfare. Shortly after adetachufent of cavairy was seen coming siowly along. This patrol, preceded by an avant-garde and by its trumpeters, was received with shouts of applause. We repeatedly heard cries of “Vive CEmpereur!? “Veve la troupe!” “A bas les ementiers! “A bas lea crapule!” ‘The groups above alluded to at once dispersed. In the rue du Fau- bourg Montmartre, on a party of men in blouses taking up & position on the causeway and side pave- ments, several inhabitants of that street advanced and said to them, “Come, take yourselves off, go home, ciear the street; we are shopkeepers of this quarter, we have had quite enough of emeutiers and vagavonds! Be off, and in double quick tme, or you will have to deal with us!’ As the individuals thus addressed showed an inclination to resist, some its de ville came up. “We are on your side,’ said the persons whose words we have quoted; “rid re these b: ee afi whaeitsy no time ispersing 198, uility Was soon re-established in that quarter, A few arrests were also effected.

To a certain degree, therefore, the disorders of last week might form a bar to the concession of those liberai reforms which were distinctly de- manded of the government in the late ciections. Above all things, the government must not appear to confess weakness. liappily, however, the recent mdications which the Emperor has given of @ sincere desire for peace, not merely as a truce between nations, but as a permanent state of things in Farope, ‘end encouragement to the hope that he will look his domestic difficulties frankty and voldiy in the face; that he will not fly trom Known Nis at nome to others that he knows not of abroad.

Judge Blatchiord holds that more than six years haviug elapsed after the collision before the jibe! was filed, and there being no Jegal excuse for such deiay On the part of tbe libei- janis, the claim is barred by its staienes@ and he therefore dismisses the libel, with costs, Benner ef ai. vs. The Seamer Columbia,—This was a lide} filed by the owners of the propeller Fannie to recover $50,000 for damages sustained by them by the sinking of that vessel by a collision with the & ' steamer Columbia, on the evening of the 6th of May, 1864, near Fortress Monroe, in the Chesapeake Bay. The Fannie was struck on her starboard side, abatt her midship, and soon sunk. Judge Blatchford held that the proofs show that the Fannie kept no proper lookeut, and that she kepton her course without any regard to the approach of the Columbia, and was, therefore, to blame for the coliision. ‘Tlie libel is, tWerelore, dismissed, with costs, UNITED STATES COMMISSIONERS’ COURT.

Before Commissioner Shields, The United Surtes vs, Charles Curvier.—The defend- ant was arrested on the first actual breaking out of the “war on the Cubans,” and has been since under durance vile.

Some interest appeared to be manifested in the proceedings. Counsel for the prisoner made a lengthy argument in his behalf and recited the circumstances con- nected with the case, which are too well known to require recapitulation. Counsel having gone over the evidence and commented thereon, proceeded to state that the testimony showed that the prisoner at the time of the occurrence was so frenzied and mad- dened, from some cause or other, that visited ac- countability upon him for his hand’ st did not allow him to be prejudiced by his tongue. This referred to the reason the prisoner assigned for his act. it Was admitted tat he was very much excited at the sta house. Jt was contented that the Court, at the trial, erred in excluding the offer of the prisouer’s counsel to show the previous cruel- ty of the deceased to the prisoner—clubbing biin in- humanly on July 8, 1865, when almost tnsensible from itoxication—to juslily an apprehension of similar treatment from the deceased at the time of the homicide, ‘The ground of exclusion was that the defence could not ‘show Isolated transactions of that kind.” ‘The Court likewise erred in exclud- ing the questions to James Rowe, a@ witness for the prisoner, as to the impressions the acts and words of the prisoner made or left upon his mind, when he had the conversat.on, and walked with the prisoner, between five and eight o'clock, on the after- noon or evening previous to the homicide, Counsel further contended (hat the Court committed a@ similar error in exciading the questions to Thomas Mulhare, another witness lor the prisouer, who tes- tified to jacts occurring before ana upto hall-past six o’clock on the afternoon of the occurrence in question, utterly Inconsistent with any other ide; true, than that the prisoner was not right in his mind, ‘ihe evidence of others proved a condition of mind on the part of the prisoner, on the evening be- fore, and on the very afternoon of the occarrence, certainly Dot very rational, if it did not amount to absolute mental derangement for the time being. ‘rhe habiis of the prisoner were adverted to at jength, and it was argued that he was in- sane from excessive drinking. It was aiso clauned that tne Court at the trial erred in excluding the offer of the prisoner's counsel on the examination of Mr. McCauley as fol- lows ‘Judge Stuart—I also propose to show, un- der your Honor’s ruling, that Sinedick bruised and beat the prisoner to che peril of jis life on several occasions prior to the kilung, and that he also made threats of violence against him, and i propose to bring the knowledge of that ((uese threats) to the prisoner.” Thia, 1 was contended, Was a strong point, because the exception embraced an offer to show threats of violence on the part of aged against the prisoner, and that those threats were communicated to the prison this knowledge must have, rnore or less, Inflw l the feelings and conduct of the prisoner in meeting the de and particniarly if the deceased atempted a nee upon him. Again, the Court Jury that if the proof it Was that actually kil p Was not made out coy eae SF to the imdictment. The evidence showed that there were two wounas upon the body of the deceased, and but two, so that the story of three shots having been seen fired at and into the WwW which W deceased 18 not true, if this circumstance, which cannot. but b is relied upon. The present indictment ve contained two counts, one framed upon the wou other upon the wound in the hody. It the evidence in this case did not show, beyond all peradventure, that the deceased died from the injury in the head, the prisoner could not be convicted wader the im- dictment. Until the courts hold that an indictment need Hot set out the injury that caused death and dispense with one of its fundamental attributes, t he present exception must be sustained, The District Attorney repued at length, contend. ing that the supposed flaws in the indictment were not material to the main fact at issue, He argued that the Court had merely exercised its proper func. tions during the trial and refuted the assertion that ony errors had been committed. lessrs.

Before Judge Daly. Brockicay vs, Brien.—A motion was made by plaintif? for an attachment against defendant for contempt in disobeying an order supplemental to execution made by his Honor Judge Brady, dated June 1, 1869, commanding the defendant to appear before Thaddeus H, Lane, referee, and submit to an examination as judgment debtor. On motion the defendant’s counsel admitted ser- vice of the order and the disovedience of it under his imstructions, and rested his opposition on the fact that although seven or eight orders were granted jor the examination of defendant, and motions for attachment for contempt of each of them made against defendant, they were all dented, on the ground that the papers of the plaintif’s attorney were informal; but now, to settle the practice, he admitted the papers for contempt in the present motion were correct; but he objected to the jurisdic- tion of the court, on the grounds that, in February last, an order was made herein appointing Mr, Felix Vv. B. Kennedy referee, which order, though repu- diated by plaintuf after obtaining the same, was still in existence, and that, therefore, the court had no jurisdiction of the proposed contempt. Mr. Sheehan, who appeared for the defendant, stated he wished to make this a test case to settle the practice in supplementary proceedings, as to his own knowledge great wrong Was dong by changing referces and making orders while the firsc ones were still in force, and set aside by any order of the court, and requested the Judge to settle the practice, which was up to tpis doubtful. Judge Daly, in coinciding with defendant's at- torney, decided that the first order in a sup- plementary proceeding must be finished, or some order made by the court in the proceeding, before any other order can be made in the premises setting a Vexed question, and denying the motion. rimouon, Mr. Kust; agaims: motion, Mr. J.
