Yesterday Lead Micky, accompanied by a deputa tion of clergy and laity, presented the following address to the Arehhistiop of Cantethury, signed by 238,860 clerical and la)• nwnils rs of the church of England : " To the Most Reverend John Bird, Lunt Archbishop of Canterbury, l'rintate of all England and Metropo litan, &e. " May it please your Graee,—We, the undersigned clerical and lay members of the church of England, beg leave to approieh your grace at a time when our protestant institutions in church and state have been outraged by an insolent and ' ' lions act of aggression nn the part of the Ali hop of Rome, and menaced by other ant great dangers, and to express our veneration for the Otte,• which your grace sustains, and our unfeigned and affectionate respect for the Christian wisdom and forbearance with which it. high functions are exercised. " While we regard the papal assumption of territorial jurisdiction within this kingdom as dangerous alike to our civil and religious liberties, and trust that effectual means will be taken by the proper authorities to repel the aggres sion, and to avert the threatened ilanFers, our alarm is more especially excited by the fact, sufficiently notorious, that this external assault has been invited, encouraged, and facilitated by the state of things in our own church. " We believe that the principles and practices adopted of late years by many of the clergy and laity, usually known by the name of tractarian, and which it would be neither needful or lassirning more particularly to describe to your race, have deluded the Roman pontiff into the belief that pro heart of England is infected, and that her church may again be 11.4111t11i into subjection to the see of Rome. We are persuaded that if those principles should be allowed to prevail in our church, the I tope would he found to have judged rightly that its strength for resistance had depart (non it, that it could no longer retain its judo prudence, but must yield as a blind captive to papal supre macy. The actual secession to Rome of so many of those who have fallen under the infection of trachiritut printiplea, Is a sufficient proof thereof. but even if our church were in no danger from Rome, we should equally deprecate Opinions and practices alien front the protestant character of our church, its well as from the plain teaching of her articles and formularies, opposed to the truth of the Gospel of Christ, and which tend to bring the people under the iron yoke of priestly despotism. " It has heretofore been the glory of our eltureh to be regarded an the chief bulwark and depositary of the pro testant faith, and we trust that she will yet vindicate to herself this character, by casting Wan ailventitiousliercey, and by maintaining the principles of the blessed Reforms tion, without abatement or compromise. "Our hope of such an issue of the present crisis mainly tests upon the faithful upholding of the supremacy of Holy Scripture as the sole rule and ground of faith, and upon united prayer to Almighty God fur the guidance of his holy spirit, and for the fulfilment of the promise of Christ that he will be with his people to the end of the world. " But amongst the means to which we look for the desired relief, we turn to those to whom God has committed the chief rule and oversight of spiritual things amongst us. And when we remember that your Grace was the first bishop publicly to denounce the errors of tractaxianism, and to forewarn the church of its fatal tendencies, we cannot but humbly adore the providence of Clod, by which you have been ails aneed, for such a time a. this, to the post of supremo spiritual authority among the prelates of our church. " Our ecclesiastical constitution has placed an authority in the hands of the archbishops of which the oath taken by every bishop at his consecration, of all due reverence and obedience to the archbishop and his successors, is the exponent. Your grace's immediate predecessor, when the evil of tractarianism was probably supposed to be yet re pressible by mild remedies, issued an admonition to the whole church on the subject of rubrical observances, which exercised for a time a very salutary influence. We look back also to many instances in which your grate's prede cessors have interposed the weight of their pre-eminent authority for the benefit of the church. " Under these circumstances and with these sentiments we humbly implore your grace, in this season of danger and apprehension, to take all such measures as the constitution of our church has provided for the rectifying of evils, and for supplying the masses of our population with protestant ministrations, and for pro.ecting them againstthe seductions and contantivation of popish delusions. `• In conclusion, we very humbly assure your Orme of Our earnsst prayer to God that lie may bless your labours to the ads ancement of tits glory ; that Ile may sustain you under your heavy responsibilities and varied trials ; and that Ile may long preserve your (trace, to direct the counsels of our church by the wise exercise of your authority, and to - -rage the piety of her members by the example of • God, of Christian charity, and of an inflexible uphold in our church, in all its integrity, the Gospel_" address hs Grace returned the following ANPIWIR : chich you justly characterise as a season of church, both from external aggression and I divisions, I derive no slight comfort from an that which you now present to me; which, inx _ is from the number of its subscribers, is still important from the authority belonging to their must be matter of regret and humiliation, that aces of attachment to the church, which the i.eys, should have been principally called forth stances within the church itself, oceasioning requiring correction.

" I cannot conclude without thanking you for the kind expressions of conieli nee which you have addressed to me; and assuring you of the encouragement which I receive in the responsible situation to which I have been called, from knowing that the principles which I have long endeavoured to maintain are the principles of such a body of persons as have subscribed their names to the address. Our church has now the greatest nied of such defenders. By their prayers they may obtain for her that Divine support with out which no church can flourish. Ily their influence they may multiply those means of spiritual superintendence and Scriptural instruction which will prove our best defence against the aggressive designs of Rome." catholic Spain, Portugal, Brazil, should continue to defy the papal authority, and laugh to scorn and trample under foot the threats of y " ecclesiastical censure," and thus unnais. t ikeably denying the Popesauthority" in domestic matter," to be parainnent, by holding in the cruel bondage of slavery several millions of their fellow-creatures, whose mis fortune and not their fault it is that they are darker in colour than their merciless oppressor/. Do not the coon trice named derive a large revenue from the traffic in slave' ? Are not all the horrors of the middle passage called I into daily practice by the direct perndssion of Spain, Por tugal, and Brazil ? Do they not refill their exhausted ex chequers by the traffic in blood of their fellow-man? Away, then, with the idle tale about the Popessitpremacy hialomestic concerns! Would to God that it were so; and that with the members of their own communion they might bring shout an act of tardy justice, by letting the oppretaed gar free. But it may be that th e ' Popes authority in reference to the institution of slavery had reference only to the slavery of the white man, not to that of the coloured man ; and yet this cannot be; for Dr. Wiseman, further to illus trate and prove his proposition, made particular allusion to the favourable treaties (?) which, through the good offices and co-operation of different popes, we have been enabled to make with alave.hohling countries. Ile stated further, " that he was assured, by one of the representatives of a slave-holding country at our court, that it was entirely through the influence of the l'ope that our overtures for abolishing the slave trade were so very favourably received and acted on." Favourably received and acted upon? Yes, b 7 the most disgraceful and unblushing evasion,. and the daily addition to the ranks of the slave gangs by the most brutal and disgusting arts. Is it not notorious, not withstanding the statement of Dr. Wiseman, that slavery' Olin/ in all its suasuitigateil caorsolsy is the Beasilado Porto Rico, in Cuba ? Yes, in those places coloured men and women aro in a state but one degree removed from the I brute beast, of the field with which they are daily doomed to toil. Are not our treaties with slave-holding countries, Roman catholic for the suppression, not of slavery, but of flaw slave trade, moot unblushingly violated? Is not Pope Pius aware of it ? If his authority is undisputed—" the power of the Pope unchanged, unchanging"—why have they not been exercised for so good, so holy, great and noble an end as the liberation from the cruel bondage of slavery of millions of his fellow-men ? Why does he not exercise " his domestic authority" to pro- duce the, at least gradual, amelioration of the condi. thin of the slave, and then his ultimate emancipation ? With these facts—undeniably clear as regards the exigence of slavery in Boman catholic countries--Dr. Wiseman will scarcely have the hardihood to deny that the Popes autho rity has been most unequivocally denied, and his " threats of ecclesiastical censure" scattered to the winds. But it is not too late for the l'ope to show to the protestant world that he has only to command in order to ensure obedience. I feel deeply interested in the subject of negm slavery— quite independently of mere abstract considerations of hu manity. lam myself a coloured person—a descendant of I one of those unfortunate coloured women—who, until the abolition of the British slave trade, were daily stolen by " the man-stealer" from their natise wilds, and after the endurance of much misery, were landed and made to labour unceasingly and without reward for their whiter and more civilised brother. I will but add, on this subject, that the Pope could not have a more favourable opportunity for honourable action. Let him show hie anthowty over the catholic world, by issuing from " the Plaminian gate" a decree that all the slaves in iiLive-holding countries are forthwith to be liber ated ; and, although ha may not have the means of provid ing them with ships to their own country, he will he entitled Ito their sincerest gratitude. Let him but compel his Roman catholic followers to acknowledge the coloured man as a member of the human family, and as such entitled to all the rights of man, and he will have done a deed that will outlive the memory of the greatest pope that ever occupied the chair of Saint Peter. Such a glorious consummation brought about, would could—America longer remain, with all her boost of being the greatest and freest country, and her love of true liberty, the only . country to brave the power of enlightened public opinion? No, no ; she would at once set free her four mil lions of coloured slaves, and thus blot out, as with a sponge, the odious stain upon her star-spangled banner. With my apologies for the length of this communication, remain, sir, your faithful servant, A COLOURED IttAN. West Strand, March 17, 18,51. TILE PAPACY ANT) THE SLAVE TRADE. TO TDB EDITOR OP THU DAILT ant but an obscure and poorly informed layman of the church of England. My object in writing to you being rather to place you in posseasion of the chief points of a lecture delivered last evening in the catholic chapel in Lambeth by the Rev. Dr. lVinonan, and thus enabling you, should you deem my communi cation at all deserving of notice, to offer some of those manatees remotest' far whisk your ;sorsa is onset. I able than to make any comments myeelf.: I presented my self last evening at the door of the toman catholic chapel in Lambeth, with the view of listening to one of a series of lectures delivered at this season of the year by the Rev. Dr Wiseman. Before I could obtain an entrance I had a de-1 man 4 made in the most emphatic manner for a shilling, which having complied with, I was admitted into the chapel, where, after some difficulty, I was conducted to a seat. I anticipated, as a matter of course, the delivery by Dr. Wiseman of a lecture on sonic portion of Scripture—of Holy Writ—but spas, I was soon to be undeceived. The rev. gentleman, escorted by some 20 or more persons in sur plices, ascended the pulpit, and afterremuring his scarlet cap, and without further delay, it being 20 minutes past 7, com mand hi. lecture. After alluding to the signet manner in which Rome hssever been preserved in all matters, whether temporal or spiritual; how tier ecclesiastical monuments, have been preserved against the ravages of time; how un changed and unchanging is Rome ; he paused a while, and then begged to assure •• hie brethren" that it was not his intention at all to enter controversially into the subject of the papal supremacy, " for that would, to do so properly, hardly he effectuated in ten discourses;" notwithstanding which, the entire ~cope of his lecture—occupying nearly two hours—was one grand untiring effort to vindicate the supremacy of his ['oiliness. 'The annouucement, therefore, that effectually to do that would require so many and more than ten discourses, was not a little astounding to my un cultivated mind, for, in my simplicity, I imagiucd that in the minds of all true Roman catholies such a statement could require but little argument; indeed, that it was sus ceptible of most rapid and easy proof, and that too within the walls of a catholic chapel. The reverend gentle man proceeded at considerable length to argue that the supremacy of the Popes, not the Bishops of ]tonne ' was un questioned, ay, undoubted, so early as the secondecutury, lat which period a pope was solicited by a Welsh monarch, Lucius, to send missionaries to this country, and which request was acceded to; and thus, in his, the reverend doctor's, opinion, the fact was most clearly established that to a pope are we indebted fur the Christian religion in this country at that early period. The next point was that the supremacy wee established throughout the world, and that, too, most unequivocally and unquestionably, by the Coun cil of Nice, at which—l use the doctor's own words—the Pope, being too infirm to attend, was represented by a legate, whose opinion was decisive of the matter to discuss which the council had assembled: in a word, that such was the deference paid even then to papal authority, that, though the Pope's legate had been only a deacon, the archbishops, and of course bishops, would immediately have deferred and placed him in the highest seat—the one reserved and set apart fur his Holiness. This tact, so said the reverend lecturer, was must conclusive ot the authority of the Pope even at that early period of the' church's history.

Yesterday, especial meeting of theholdersof thenew seven per cent. stock, issued under tic act of 1819, scar held at the London Tavern, Bishopagate-grect, to hear from the directors propositiosu for consideration and approval. The chair wastakenat 2o'clock by Mr. Burcn, the chairman of the board. The CHAIRMAN slid the directors had thought it de sirable to call the shareholders together to consult as to the best mode of dealing with the scrip which was last ieeucd. That scrip was originally issued for the purpose of paying off the creditors of the company; but the difficulties which arose subsequently, presented the object from being car ried out as early as had been anticipated. The directors had, in spite of every threat, refused to make any further call , till there was some prospeet of daylight. 'the total amount of ca l ls made was 21. and the grea t er portion had been paid. During the last year thu had had many difficulties to contend with, in connexion • " with the creditors; but at last an arrangement had beeu entered into, to the effect that, provided they could induce the holders of the scrip already issued to reduce their rate of interest to 5 per cent., the creditors should accept the new shares at the same rate. On being asked for this conces sion the holders of the stuck would naturally look for some advantages. The advantagea - offered were these : — ln the first place nearly the whole of the creditors of the company, bond aud simple contract, would be converted into share holders, provided the agreement already sanctioned by the creditors were carried out; 70,0001. or 80,0001. would still remain in bonds, the parties who held that amount being placed under legal disabilities which prevented them from acceding to the arrangement. Thus LM •biddan of the saes •••eas pet amt. stook as, would rank as the first preference shareholders of the corn- II pony, and come in part pfliali with the creditors of the com pany for all dividends which might arenas. The next ad vantage was that the shares might be consolidated, the I, holders of the 101. shares being enabled to reduce them to a t : 51. ; and, instead often shares being liable, as at present, to 23 calls amounting to 801., under this arrangement there would Is be a liability only to 301. ; that was to say, 61. each on five ss.., shares. A bill had been introduced into parliament for the purpose of carrying oat the arrangement; and as soon as 56 1121 1 that bill had been sanctioned it was the intention to give a t . the shareholders the option of consolidating their shares. 17 The SECRETARY, then, at the request of the chair- $0 man, read the resolutions by which the creditors of the 16 1 company emoted to the proposed arrangement. as The CHAIRMAN said he hail been informed by the u chairman of the committee of creditors that the assent of 20 bondholders and other creditors had been obtained to the 50 amount of 240,0001. The parties who had withheld their 11l assent were chiefly trustees, many of whom had stated It their willingness to renew their bonds for seven years at 4 per cent., or a trifle' lower ; per cent. had been named. 25 Ile (the ehairmao) thought the holders of the 7 per cent. Sr stock would benefit by the arrangement, and it was impor- 10 taut that the matter should he settled speedily. Ile would ti• now mention a few favourable circumstances in their posi tion. The meeting was :doubtless aware that an ar- la rangement had been entered into with the Great at. Northern Company, by which that company agreed 131 to work the line, guaranteeing a minimum revenue of Si. 16,0001. He thought that agreement would be advan- " t. tageous to both parties, and there was every probability of 3S , its being carried out in good faith. This line would now at become the great thoroughfare between Norwich and Sr , Manchester. They would have a great traffic in lean cattle, of which they hail hitherto been deprived by the et Eastern Counties Company. The Great Northern Coin pony having power to meet them at Wisbeach, would run 50 over their line to Dereham, and would then have no dial- a t . eulty in making their way to Norwich, either over the 20 Eastern Counties line, or, if difficulties did present them- se 10 selves, by some other 1:11CM11 , . 50 Mr. ROSS characterised the proposed arrangement as Ht. iniquitous and unnecessary. There was no necessity . for 23 burdening the line with a perpetual 6 per cent. debt, arising 25 out of the bonds. Money might be obtained iu the market ISI on moot advantageous terms. The agreement with the 9 Great Northern Company hail materially altered their 26; position. The CHAIRMAN said the best answer which could he 131 given to Mr. Rosa was, that they had debts to p.ay, both 2o bond debts and simple contract debts. Mr. Ro.: said they to ought to borrow money in the market. The decision of the " Lord Chancellor showed clearly that a simple contract r 4. debtor, with judgment, had priority over a bondholder so without judgment, or perhaps over a bondholder with 26 judgment. 'tint being the case, he was sorry to say that 23 the prospect of borrowing money in the market at a reason- 200 able rate of interest was quite hopeless. SO After some thscusmon, . so to The CHAIRMAN moved a resolution declaring that the yo meeting approved of the proposed arrangement, and re- 20 que'ting the board to take steps for obtaining the assent of St. the holders of the stock in question. IS Mr. SELF seconded the motion, which was carried, 2 , 3 , there Icing only three dissentients. The meeting then separated. LIVERPOOL, March 19.

SO FATAL CoALPIT EXPLOSION.—On Monday another explosion of fire-damp took place at Hey's Colliery, Ashtou. It appears, from inquiries made on the spot, that at about 8 o'clock on Monday morning, the men being nearly all at work, a young man named William Joule, a miner, took the to off his lamp, and went among some other men. An explosion ensued, and the consequence was, that Joule and several others were severely injured ; one man, named John Ogden, was killed; and another, James Andrew, has since died from his injuries. We are also informed that two others arc in a very dangerous state, their recovery being doubtful. It appears that when Joule was found, he said he could not blame any one, as he had caused the explosion himself, by taking his lump top off. We are informed that, in addition to the caution given by the manager of the works, the men have for some time past made a rale among themselves that any man known to take his lamp top off should forfeit se. A few weeks since one of the men was caught with his lamp top off, and he was compelled to pay the above fine, or leave the works; as, if the fact had been laid before the underlooker, he would have been immedi ately discharged.—Manchester Guardian. FIRE IN SOITALFIELDS.—Yesterday morning, at a few minutes before four o'clock, a tire broke ont on the basement floor of the premises belonging to Mr. Charles Lauer, a skin-dresser, No. 41, Fashion-street, Spitalfields. A young man, named Castledine, who slept on the first floor, having snatched his child up, succeeded, with his wife, in reaching the street, but they had barely left the building, when the passage gave way, and the flames then mounted so high as to cut off all means of escape for the other inmates in that direction. Mr. Lauer,jun.,jumped out of window into the back-yard, but he was so much injured by the action of the fire that he was obliged to be removed to the London Hospital. The Royal Society's fire-escapes, with several engines, quickly attended, The conductor of the escape having raised the machine in front of the burning premises, got into one of the upper rooms, where lie found Mr. Lauer lying on the floor in an insensible state, nearly suffocated with smoke, and panted him in safety down the escape, where they inquired of him as to what part of the house his wife was In. He replied that she was in the loft, and the only chance that remained to rescue her was to mount the top of the building and cut away the roof. The conductor, with the aid of the police, having made a hole sufficiently large, dragged her upon the roof, and con veyed her in safety down the escape. A plentiful supply of water was procured, and the firemen were enabled to get the flames extinguished in about an hour, but not before ' the lower portions of the building, with its contents, were destroyed, and the upper part extensively damaged by fire. RAILWAYS. THIS DAY. Two o'Ctocs. In spite of the efforts which are being made in some quarters to depress prices, the share market to-day u decidedly firmer, and all descriptions havo advanced from yesterday's depression. This, too, is in the fare of a number of selling operations which have been continued this morning, though not to the extent noticed during the last two or three days. Buying operations have, however, been resumed by parties who are eager to profit by the semi-panic recently prevalent, and the tendency of quotations is at present steadily upward. Lancashire and Yorkshires have rallied to 62; York and North Mitiands to '271; South Easterns to 271; Great Westerns to 891; London and South Westerns to $9. MONEY MARKET. THIS DAY. Two o'Cr,res. The English stock market is somewhat firmer this morning, but prices have not shown any signs of a rally. The business is restricted, though including another purchase on public account. The offi cial list reports actual bargains in Consols at 961 to for money, and 96 to for the account of the Inch of .Ipril, and from these prices, which are also the last rates of yesterday, there has not been even a fractional variation during the day. The business in other investments is limited to Long Anna. expiring in 1660, at 7 9-16 and and Bank Stock, for account, at 2151. This last stock is very firm, in consequence of the gatisfactory nature of the pro ceedings at the meeting this day (of which a report will be found in another column), when a dividend of 4 per cent. for the half-year was declared, leaving the " rest " 3,012,775!. A considerable business has been done in Exche quer Bills, but the market is somewhat weaker. The official report is : Exchequer Bills, of all sizes, 535., 565., 525., 551. prem. India Bonds, 1,000., 61s. premium. The foreign stock market is steady, though with only a limited business. Buenos Ayres Bonds, how ever, are worse, the price being marked as low as 54. 4 FetWerday afternoon the decline in Mexicans conti nued, and the bonds were done as low as 321, the uncertainty which prevails as to the real position of the bondholders' affairs at Mexico, and appre hensions as to the fate of the indemnity moneyoperating prejudicially to the value of this stuck. To-day the price is only a trine steadier, business being marked last at 331. The official report of the day's transac tions is: Buenos Ayres Six per Cent. Bonds., 54, 55. Chilian Three per Cents., 65‘ , ,. Two-and-a-Half per Cents.Dutelt, 58 ; ditto Four per Cent. Certs., 011. Mexican Bonds, 33, k ; ditto for the 28th, 33,t. Portuguese Four per Cents., 331 ; ditto for account, 341. Spanish Puente Bonds, 5 ; ditto Three per Cents., 381. Venezuela Two-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 33. • The advance in Spanish stock at Madrid is taken as no indication of the feeling there that the ministry are in earnest in prosecuting a measure for the settlement of the debt, though as the ministry itself is in a most precarious condition, the issue cannot by any means be relied on. The foreign creditors have, moreover, derived great confidence from the universal assent of the di plomatic body to support their cause, but it is to bo regretted that most exaggerated views are en tertained of the nature and extent of this inter position. 11 it were to be • exerted effica ciously and any communication were to be made in strong terms, it would undoubtedly, so far from helping the cause of the bondholders, materially retard it, for there is nothing so offensive to the Spanish public as such dictation. The manner in which the processlings in the Lord Mayor's Court were received in the most liberal quarters in Spain, may be accepted as a very good indication of the national feeling. The representations of the emboli seders are therefore likely to be on a very mild scale, unless they have some malicious design. The result of the poll for the vacancies in the Eastern Counties direction was announced to-day, and resulted in the election of Mr. Waddington, with Mr. Margruve and Mr. Smythe, being a further con demnation of the existing administration. As Mr. Waddington has been elected on the ground of his contrition for past offences, and his zealous desire to promote the interests of the shareholders, it is to bo hoped that good results will follow. At any rate, the imbecile administration has received a cheek. The extraordinary and mild winter has produced the same effects upon the clothing trade in /ranee as here, the winter stock 6 on hand, and the spring trade embarrassed. In most parts of Europe, except Spain and Italy, where the winter has been severe, fears are expressed that the mild winter does not pre sage a favourable harvest. amoilso serum.—T■u DAT.

Rows of tables in sym metrical order were spread over the floor; and seated at these, I saw my old unmistakeable friends, the " blue jackets," discuuing their beef; generally, what a naval man would call a good set of men—strong, quiet, self-reli ant looking mon. One feels as if one was an intruder, and comforts oneself with thinking of one's good intentions— but don't be alarmed, visitor ! That is all your conceit. Jack is nowise disturbed by your presence. Ho cuts his beef, looks at you casually as you pass in your inspection, and puts you quite at your ease! I really think that a Rai , lor has u good manners as you ever see anybody with. There is such a calm good-natured independence about him; a Neptunian politeness, which CSITIe, you along like a lino rolling wave. " Manners," being, however, the character istic of a man " who feel, the dignity of a mon, and is con scious of hi. own "—as Carlyle has described it, and as Brummell never knew it to be! The fact is, that a sailor is generally in a true, real position—has certain work to do— certain people to obey. There arc no false struggles, no sham pretensions, afloat. Every thing is determined by book and order. Jack will love a ruffian if he is an honest ruffian, and a barbarian if he is a well-meaning barbarian. It is the continual value set on reality at sea, that gives him independence and self possession. The ocean knocks him about till he is rounded like a pebble. Salt water keeps character wholesome, as it preserves beef. —Dickens's " Hotoshold Words." 1 3 414 4 die AiSI 37 si die 03 13 dls U Stei tge 27 U M 111 i I k 96 - 1 130 121 221 171 811 1 9 Si 1i 9; 101 01 Vii 17 1 i
