LONDON, SATTIRD.I7; OCTOBER 30. le ever there was a plain, palpable—nay, almost • tangible—instance of the gods refusing to assist those who do not assist themselves, it is certainly to be run in the Spanish rule of Cu ba. The maintenance of Spain as one of the foremost of the second-rate powers is an object of European, if not universal, interest ; and the possession of the great island of Cuba in peace and prosperity is as essential to the preservation of that position as is the island of Java to Holland. It yields the government of the mother coun try considerable tribute it enables it to keep a large military three; it is the source of still great wealth to a large propr.etary class at home; it sti mulates the commercial spirit of Spain ; it is the means of preserving to that kingdom a mercantile marine; it connects it with the various countries of Europe and Ameriza; it affords civil and military employment to a great number of Spaniards; it is the last and most valuable relic of the past greatness of its Indian possessions; it ought from its position to become the entrepot of the Spanish main; and, . ander a rational system of government, there are really no present or apparent limits to its growth and prosperity. Yet gradually the feeling that Spain cannot long preserve what is thus so necessary to her welfare is becoming universal ; and though this feeling is partly attributable to a belief in the buccaneering and ag gressive schemes of part of the population of the United States, it is also in no slight degree owing to the belief that the continued fidelity of Cuba itself to Spain is incompatible with the ;man ner in which this great transatlantic possession is governed. Whether this belief be well or ill founded, certain it is that the best and cheapest mode of preserving so valuable a colony is to rule it on a wiser system than now prevails. After so long arid active an intercourse as has existed between Cuba sod the United States ;—when it has become to the north-eastern parts of the American Republic another Italy, where health, pleasure, and enjoyment are sought by the wealthy and the dissipated; after allowing hundreds of its finest estates to be conducted and managed by American overseen; and now that great com mercial interests hive grown up;--it is idle and puerile in the Spanish authorities to attempt to isolate Cohn from the United States. It cannot be done, and the attempt to do so will precipitate the very danger which it is designed to avert. Self preservation is, no doubt, the first law of nations as well as of individuals. But in driving away steamers accustomed for a stews of years freely to enter the ports of Cuba, because they possibly have on board an obnoxious steward, cook, or passenger, is so' obviously to injure the innocent many, in order to get at a guilty individual, as to be cer tain to create just fisilings of indignation on the part of the American government; and thereby to bring it into collision and hostility with the authori ties of the Ifavannah—a state of things sure to end in mischief to Cuba. During the events which preceded, attended, and followed the piratical expedition of LOPEZ, the Ame rican government, it cannot be denied, fulfilled its international duties to Cuba. It proclaimed the preparations; it seized part of the ex pedition ; it sent a naval force to intercept the rest ; it acknowledged the righter Cuba to deal -with participttors in that crime as pirates; it interfered at Madrid on behalf of the captured only on grounds of humanity and of policy; and it gave the Spanish government satisfaction for the outrages perpetrated on its Consul at New Orleans. The authorities of Cuba ought not, therefore, lightly to give the Cabinet of Washington any excuse to depart from a line of policy which it pursued on the former emergency so much to their advantage ; still less to associate the revived conspiracies in the States against Cuba with just and reasonable complaints on thepart of the American government against needlessinterruptions and foolish obstruc tions to peaosable and useful commerce. And this is really what those authorities appear to be doing in the recent affairs of the Cornelia and the Crescent City. But all reason and all experience seem alike thrown away upon the Court of Madrid. There it is, in the nineteenth century, practising at home a corrupt, stupid, unintelligent des potism long banished and expelled from all other European countries; where, in these times, despotism is at least comparatively pure and intelli gent, and active in national improvements. And what Cuba first and foremost suffers from is Spanish corruption, particularly the corruption of the Court. In the moment of Cuba's danger, the people in pos session of power at Madrid sent thither General CONCHA as Captain-General. But the danger a little allayed, he was recalled. And the cuss of his read was substantially the superiority of his government of the island. He re pressed the Slave Trade with a strong and vigorous hand; refUed himself "gratifications" for clandestinely permitting the introduction of Africans and forbade them to others. This interfered with the greed and rapacity of • lady too well known in the later annals of Spain. She, moreover, had a plan for realising large sums by a building speculation at the Havannah, which required the demolition of some part of the renewed fortifica tions of that city. This Conan positively refused to sanction. He was recalled • 8.4 in tho present Captain-General, a more subservient ruler has been found. Coder his administration— perhaps we might say umpicse—even the Slav* Trade begins again to revive. Though the loyalty of the Creole population of Cuba to the Crown of Spain has been tested ; nay, even though that loyalty too frequently shows itself by insulting the citizens of the United States in the streets of Havannab, it is " not shined upon." A bad colonial system in Madrid has no faith in feelings or sentiments of attachment; it has gradually diminished the municipal franchises formerly existing in the island; it denies the native proprietors all ricipa tion in positions of trust and authority; tit im poses on them a great army ; an d i t levies from a population of not more, probably, than halls million of tax payers the enormous revenue of faailaist millions of dollars. The protection of Spain is dearly bought at such a price ; and though, in spite of it, material prosperity and wealth continue to inane' in Cuba, the thought that and the pniftedges of Anglo-American power the value of an diem properties would soon be doubled most occasionally pass through the minds of the Creole planters of sugar and tobacco—and leave its effects behind. Yet the Creoles do not desire annexation to the American Republic. They . are Spaniards, and have all the pride of their nation; they are Catholics, and they fear Protestant domination • they are men, at least, of generous imp ulses, and they cannot applaud the selfish schemes of American brigandism. With their present position, they are, however, dissatisfied. It is their prosperity only that indnees them to submit to a system that, in debasing them, confirms the corruption of the mother country ; that, in its cftbrts to maintain itself, endangers the very existence of society in the island. The prosperity and greatness of Cuba hang on a thread. It was on the ruins of St. Domingo Cuba first rose to importance ; and, rapid as hoe been its growth, there is at present no security for the permanence of its welfare. It is surrounded by external dangers; it is replete with materials of internal disorder, both predial and poli tical; it can derive but small hopes or assurances from the wisdom of Madrid ; it leans on a reed when it rests on Wince of European power or on the promises of France. There is but one chance left— and that is a poor one—a thorough reform of its government. But, to reform the administration of Cuba, the government of Spain itself must first be reformed ; and how hopeless that is Europe knows only too well. Look at it as We will, the prospect is a sorry one. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 30, . . FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY Eviriieo. The bete are now in tairoog of the lfith of De cember u the day for the proclamation of ttes empire, and it is said that the Corps Legislatif will meet about the 23th or 2tith of November. But all this is conjecture. The Pre si dent does not give those most in his confidence any materials for gumming what he is going to do. lie delights in aisappointing expectation, and particularly dislikes being thought to act upon advice. More than ever he justifies a mot of M. de Morny, "The President is • statue which will not stand upon any pedestal." To-night he is going in state to the tDpen. The performances will consist of Auber's Philtre, and the 4th act only of Moiae, it having been found impos sible to produce the whole opera this evening. It is considered an act of great condeseention in Louis Napoleon to endure this disappointment. His uncle would not receive excuses from theatrical managers, and when told that a new piece could not be ready by a certain day, his habit was peremptorily to order that it should be performed at the appointed time. I have already mentioned that an ode to the Empire and Peace is to be sung to-night, but I will not again mention the name of the laureat of the occasion, for it appears that he is young in the business, and that his verses have thrown tho whole "en tourage" of St. Cloud into consternation. I have seen some of the stanzas, and a more unfortunate collection of strange epithets and confused metaphors 1 never read. The President is called the "artisan" of our deliverance, while we sit under the " shade of a conquering:olive branch." Charlemagne is said to be "hovering" over a throne, and it is prophesied that the poor will drink the " chalice of light and charity to the dregs." This would never do. Another poet was sent for at the last moment, who has out up the original composition and made it readable, I although very flat. In the composition as altered, I there is an appeal to the President's clemency, which probably will not be allowed to stand. AbclelKader arrived in Paris at 3 o'clock to-day. IHe is accompanied by Colonel Boissonnet, of the French army, and two Arabs, Sidi-Allah and Kea..- . Mehemet. He has taken up his residence at the Hotel de la Terasse, Rue de la Riven. At present it is said that his stay in Paris will not exceed a fortnight. I understand that Mlle. Rachel, the other night, told M. Ars;•ne Honasaye that she would not recite the ode, " L'Empire c'est la l'aix," unless some lines were inserted in favour of en amnesty, and that nothing but the threat to put Mdlle. Brohan in her place, induced the great actress to give way. The music of the ode to be performed to-night is by M. Murk, and is said to he worthy of better words. The exterior of the Opera-house has been decorated with unseal splendour. Largo pier glasses, sur rounded with flowers, and illuminated, have been placed on the facade of the theatre. The Rue Le pellctier has been strewed with sand, and is illumi nated by numerous candelabra, surmounted with the letter N. The Monileur de la Moselle gives some details relative to the visit made by the French authorities of the departments bordering on Rhenish Bavaria to present their respects to the King of Bavaria on his passing through Deux Punts. His Majesty arrived in that place on the 21st, where he was received by the inhabitants with great enthusiasm. General Marey Mange, General do Weidner, the prefect of the Moselle, the inspector-general of the 3rd arron dissement, the sub-prefect of Sarregnemines, and M. Geiger, the deputy of the arrondissement, were most graciously received by the King, who invited them to dine at the royal table and to accompany him to the ball in the evening. His Majesty entered into a long conversation with the French functionaries, who all received from him a souvenir of their mission. The two generals were made Grand Crosses, the Prefect Commander, and the Sob-Prefect of Sarregiiemines, Captains Beurman and Ph:suet Vial, of the Staff, and the Lieutenant of Gendarmery of Sarreguemines, Chevaliers of the Order of St. Michel, and tho Inspector-General was decorated with smother ceder.

General Dumas, director of Algerian affairs of the Ministry a War, and several of the heads of offices at the Ministry of the Interior, were at the terminus to receive Abditl-Kader. It is expected that he will remain in Paris &beet a week. He has, says the Monit•ur, visited the capital at his own request, as he was desirous of expressing to Prince Louis Napoleon his gratitude for his liberty, and to renew his oaths to the chief ,of the state. A considerable crowd has been stationed all to-day opposite the house, 30, Roe Birch, when he is staying, anxious to _get a alimpee of the Arab ehieE The Marshal Jerdese Bonaparte, president of the ' Senate ; M. Meant the vice-president ; and M. &t oche, have had a meeting to settle the terms of the senalua conga turn for the establishment of the empire. It has been often surmised that the President, in settling the order ' of succession in the Bonaparte family would exclude Jerome and his son on amount of the demo cratic career of the latter, while a member of the Legislative Assembly. So far, however as any con- cinema can be draws from the frailly relations existing between Loa Napoleon sad this breech of his family, tic r i s s ubir grami far • g that this intention ale* t neglects no occasion kr the utmost station to his uncle Jerome, pi the President et die liesate and his son are %guest guests at St. Quid.

A letter from Florence, of the 23rd Oct., states that an attempt has been made to assassinate M. Daldasssroni, the president of the Council of Minis ters. He is slightly wounded. Lord Haden, Captain Trotter, and the other gentlemen of the English deputation which is to wait upon tho Grand Duke of Tuscany, in order to obtain from him the release of M. hladisi and his wife, arrived at Florence on the 22nd. At that date the Grand Duke had not yet returned. THE STATE TRIALS IN TUSCANY. lu its sitting of the 19th, the Royal Court of Flo rence, having heard all the documents for the defence of Ouerrazzi, commenced the examination of the second defendant, Romanelli, the ex-deputy of Arezzo to the Tuscan Chamber of Deputies, and afterwards Minister of Grace and Justice under the Provisional Government. The Chief of the Executive, Guerrezzi, afterwards confirmed him in his post, and, at a later period, sent him to Aresso, to quell the disttab anees which had broken out there. Romanelli, in answer to the questions addressed to him, declared that he had always belonged to the libe ral party, but denied having had any rela tions with Pigli, the ex-governor of Leghorn. He then related what he knew about the events of the Bth of February, 1849, and stated that he was ' among the deputies who remained in tho chamber on that day when it was invaded by the mob. Ho at first refused the portfolio which was offered him, but eventually accepted it in the hope that ho might be useful in introducing elements IA moderation into the government. lie stated that all the ministerial measures which emanated from him bear the for mula, "On the proposition of the minister, &e," and that the others were prescribed to him. Ho denied having signed the decree which prescribed that the name of the Provisional Government should be substituted to that of Leopold 11. in all public acts; and complained that this accusation was brought too late against him, thus making it impossible for him to call witnesses on that point. He had signed the decree naming Guerraui commis sary extraordinary with full powers, because he con sidered him a man of moderate opinions and grelit prudence, from the manner in which he had defeated Mauini's plans. He thought the expedition against Laugier would lead to a restoration, and, therefore, countenanced it. Ho defended his circular of March 5, 1849, in which he declared all the curates to be held responsible for the absence of voters at' the elections, on the ground that by forcing the peasants to vote, he hoped to obtain a monarchical 1 assembly. gfte Court.

(PROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.) WINDSOR CASTLE, OCTOUER 28.—This day had audience of her Majesty, Marshal, the Duke of Terceira, on a special mission from the Queen of Portugal and the Algarve', to attend the funeral of the Duke of Wollingt,m, on the part of the Portuguese army, to deliver his creden tials; to which ho was introduced by the Earl of Malmo'. bury, her Majesty's Secretary of Stabs for Foreign Affair". FUNERAL OP THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. The official programme which was published ex clasively in the espress of yesterday morning excited much public interest, especially along the line of the in tended procession and amongst those who have secured seats for the " sight." A few minor details mabe altered, but taking it u a whole, the public have now before them the substantial programme of the procession. The funeral preparations, both at Chelsea and St. Paul's, are being carried on with all the vigour that might be expected from the various able hands to which they arc entrusted. Professor Cockerel' ie in daily consultation with the Messrs. Dowbiggin and Holland, at their establishment in Mount-street, maturing and reducing to practical appli cation the designs which have already reeeiy. el the stamp of Royal approbation, but the exact nature of which has not as yet transpired. In the mean time the public—especially that portion of it which may have seen his design for the Royal Exchange (admired by every one but the corporation comnsittee)— may have full con fi dence in the artistic taste of Mr. Cock erel', supported, as it will be, by the exertions of a firm second to none in the metro: olio for executive efficiency. Some signs of preparation are already perceptible in their extensive warehouse. Bales of black cloth are accumu lating, and models may be seen of the pedestals for the eighty • candelabra with which the buoy of the great hall at Chelsea Hospital is to be illuminated. A ntagailleent pall of black velvet is also in course of prepara tion, to be decorated with the heraldic achievements of the Greet Duke, and other appropriate emblem,. On another funereal ornament will be emblazoned his successive victo ries, and the flags which are their trophies will be arranged in appropriate devices. The eighty candelabra, painted to imitate granite, and decorated in black and silver, will each be filled with an enormous wax taper ; and besides these, others of more elaborate design will be arranged immedi ately round the bier. The interior of the hall is just uow • complete for' et of scaffolding poles, and the noise of the hammer is incessant. The joists for the flooring are nearly all laid down, and the framework upon which the wooden ' easing of the walls is to be fixed almost complete. This lest, of course, will all he covered with black, but a pecu liarly lino effe ct will be produced by a succession of re cesses or niches all round, in each of which a soldier will stand with arms reversed. The intervals will be illumi nated with long rows of gas jets, so that the magnificent coup d'ecil will be at once attained on entering the apartment. A partially covered way is being constructed from the entrance, facing Queen's-road, which, with the carpenters' work of the interior, is ex pected to be completed in about a week. The various en trances to the hospital are daily surrounded by curious gazers', not the least anxious being the old pensioners themselves, who, being at present excluded from this ball, eagerly question everyone passing out who seems likely to give them information. Th e wor k s a t St. P au l' s Cathedral are proceeding with equal energy. Two of Messrs. Cuhitts most experienced foremen, Meson. Whatmore and Wright, are in constant attendance, surrounded by a whole army of carpenters and labourers. At the western en trance a stage has been erected, along which great beams of timber are transported to the interior, and on entering the nave is seen to be occupied on each side with enormous galleries of great strength, and now nearly completed. These will accommodate several thousand people. In the transept, north and south, the galleries for the Lords and Commons have been just commenced : they will accommo date more than five times the numbers of the two estates, and the spare seats will no doubt be an object of sharp contention among the friends of ,the two orders of legislators. Hcre will bo an upper tier of galleries elevated thirty feet in the clear, the occupants of which must content themselves with a consi derably foreshortened view of the solemn pageant. As this inconvenience would, to a much greater extent, be ex perienced in the Whispering Gallery, the closing up of that part of the church can hardly be looked upon as a grievance. &sides these, four quarter galleries arc being erected in the recesses of the dome, but they do not form part of Messrs. Cuhitto' contract, being erected by order of the Dean and Chapter. No /pedal portion of any of the gal leries has as yet been marked off f'r the corporation of London, but of course so important a body will be propel ly taken care of, and at the same time it is to be hoped that the gentlemen on whom will devolve the duty of repro- Renting the public press on this all-important occasion will be so placed as to enable them to convey to the vast public without who must be unavoidably excluded from the cere mony something like a satisfactory impression of what has occurred within. An immense orchestra is being built, and preparations are making for changing the position of the organ, so as to make its solemn music have its due effect in the service, which will be conducted by the Bishop of Lon don, assisted by the Than and Chapter. The design for an important feature of the pageant, the funeral ear, has, with the assistance of Messrs. Cole and Maltese., been brought nearly to completion. It will bo of imposing dimensions, being twenty-one feet in length by eleven in breadth, the largest size which would admit of its passage through Temple-bar. Six massive broose wheels will be intersected with six panels of the same metal, which, desoendiug from the platform, will reach almost to the axles. These panels, which will each in form resemble a shield, will be richly ornamented, and have painted on them allegorical allusions to the late Duke's triumphs. A second platform, rising two feet above the first, will have its sides divided into compartments, upon which will be in scribed the names of the Duke's principal victories, and at the corners will be heraldic bronze figures. Ornamental arrangements of militery weapons surmounted by the ducal coronet, will surround the bier, which will be nearly ten feet high. Above all will be a canopy of rich gold tissue supported upon halberts, so arranged as not to conceal from view the coffin underneath. The weight of such a structure, all of solid bronze, and reaching an altitude of twenty feet, will not bo less than eight or ten tons. To remedy the inconvenience that might arise from having to lower the coffin from its great height, the bier will be so constructed as to be removable to a smaller carriage, upon which it will be drawn along a stage to the exact spot over the permanent resting-place. At the proper moment the coffin will sink through the bier into its last resting-place by the side of Nelson's remains. BELGIUM. The list of the Bronekere cabinet has not yet been published; it is, however, believed that the portfolios will be distributed otherwise than in'the scheme of an administration promulgated by all the Belgian journals three weeks ago. The following, according to Belgian authorities, is a probable combination : ' i Premier aid Minister of Foreign Affairs, M. 11. do lßrouckere; Minister of Justice, M. Felder; Mi glister of War, Qeneral Arcola y Director of GERMANY. BERLIN, OCT. 26. The senate of Bremen bin; consented that three of the larger vends belonging to the remnants of the German fleet shall winter at Bremerhaven, on condi tion that the crew be amenable to the laws and regu lations of the place. The rest of the ships will have to winter in Hanoverian ports. Major Jungmann Inserts, in the Weiser Zeihow, the following adver tisement :—" I have to inform the officers and privates of the former fifth Schleswig-Holstein battery, who, on the 6th April, 1849, in tho bay of Eckernfoerde, contributed to the capture of the frigate Oefion, for Schleswig-Holatein, and consequently for Germany, that my applications to the federal authorities at Frankfort for the payment of the prize money due have been fruitless." The total number of persona who have been at tacked with cholera in Berlin, since the appearance of the epidemic here, amounts only to 193, of whom 126 have died. The disease hu been so mild here that it excited no alarm whatever. The medical men at Elbing, where there were a considerable number of deaths, have drawn up a report, in which they state that no case of cholera has come to their know ledge, which was not attributable either to improper diet and excess, or to damp and neglect of cWinli nein in the dwellings, with want of ventilatimi.

A dent writes from Vienna on the 22nd : "On~Tuesdiy evening the Finance Minister assem bled at his residence a number of gentlemen con nected with commerce and finance for the purpose of ascertaining their opinion on the_ present state of the money market. Eighteen gentleiden were_pmel!nt• among whom were, besides the minister, Chevalier Baumgartner and Councillor Brentano, four bank directors, and the president and vios-president, with several members of the Chamber of Commerce for Lower Austria. The principal en bject of discussion mooted by the minister was the edienoy of allowing private banks in the present state of the country. The desirability of this' permission was alarmed by all present, with but a single exception." DENMARK. In its sitting of the 23rd, the Volkething concluded the discussion on the first reading of the bill for transferring the curtoms' frontier to the Elbe. The first reading was carried by a majority of 79 to 2 votes, and a committee appointed to report on the measure. TURKEY. We read in the Moniteur :—" Letters from Con stantinople of the lath announce that the Porte has decidedly refused the ratification of the loan which was negotiated some weeks since in London and Pa ris. This account is the only one which is exact among those which hare been in circulation on the 1 affair during the last few days." INFERIOR POSITION OF WELLINGTON'S TOMB.— It had been, we are told, the original intention of several of the persons in authority who are connected with the Duke's funeral, to have removed the granite slabs which inclose Nelson to the edge of the grave of his brother; this would leave room for Wellington, equally near to the centre, and so the naval and military heroes of the age would rest without any difference as to their position. This arrangement has been altered, and we regret to learn that Welliegtoa will be buried at some distance east of the centre of the cathedral. This site of the warrior's grave would be in perfect darkness if it were not for the gae. lights which faintly light the tombs and arches ; the side aisles of the crypt, alter leaving the part covered by the transepts, are comparatively light. The preposition made in our pages last week to gut rid of the secondhand sham, the empty sarcophagus belonging to Cardi na l W o l sc y w hi c h I now surmounts Nelson's tomb, and to place in its stead a 1 1 monumental tomb, con.eining the body of Wellington, pro periy inscribed, thus putting together the two great com menders in a place of equal honour, is fat superior to the proof determination.—TM dodder.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE AND THE CLERGY. A meeting of the clergy belonging to and resident within the archdeaconry of London was held at Sion Col lege, London-wall, on Thursday, at 2 o'clock, "to consi der in what manner the clergy may best express their opinion upon the encouragement which will bo given to increased desecration of the Sabbath, if the Crystal Palace, now erecting at Sydenham, shall be opened as a place of public recreation on the Lord's Day. The meeting was convened by circular, addressed to the clergy, by the Rev. W. IL hale , archdeacon of London; and the attendance on the occasion was rather numerous. Amongst those pre sent were—The Venerable Archdeacon (who occupied the chair), Dr. Only, Dr. M'Caul, the Revs. Messrs. Ruddock, Wicks, Wilson (vicar of Islington), Cox (vicar of St. Helen's), Mackenzie, Good, Murray, Horne, C. Marshall, E. Annul, Rowe, Toogocvl, Povalt (minor canon of St. Paul's), Dears, Short, T. B. Murray, Abbiss, &c. The proceedings having been opened by prayer, The AIWIDRACON said that it was right that he should state that it was not in compliance with any requisition from any body of the clergy that be had taken upon him self to call the present meeting of the clergy and archdea cenry of London ; but he was well aware, from a conver sation which he had bad with one or two influential per sons among their number, that it would be agreeable to them to be called together. (Rear, bear.) The course he thought that they must adopt would be, to appoint a committee to draw up some declaration of their feelings —(beer, hear)—but what that declaration should be, and to whom it should be addressed, were now points for con sideration. The Rev. Mr. Rt DDOCR. president of Sion College, said he would advocate an application from that body directly to the Rouse of Commons, and should certainly be entirely averse to any application from the clergy to the private mryoratien of shareholders of the Crystal Palace. The Rev. Mr. SHORT would suggest that, on ouch a momentous question, the Bishop and clergy of London should approach the foot of the throne, and represent the strong . feelings which animated them to their gracious Sovereign. The flee. Dr. Client said, that after the observations of the archdeacon and other gentlemen, very little was left for limes anybody else to say. Ile thought the first question was, whetUr they had irufilcient grounds for moving in this malfee. It seemed to him that there could be no question es that point, from the circumstance that the Archbishop of Canteebeep and two other bishops had already taken the metier k Mad, and acted upon it. The next point was es to the to whom they ought to apply. He thought it wMM be rather a degradation far the clergy of London to appal te a joint-stock company; and as to the Home of Comma% be did not think the affair sufficiently advanced he then he apsdy to it ; but if the giver of the :barter was Lewd Dee*, be tbireett the man who had to give it wee the men w be smiled to to refuse it. The Rev. Dr. M'Caut thought that before adopting an else the Ant step they should take was to agree to the riiprioeiple, that they viswed to o t ith bo t vror end alarm . :eatt r z, e _t i a us .r... d „ °° w r which the a l li al eved o w ls o b u o li a l brig the wrath and displeasure of add on the whole nabs, ((tsar, bear.) He should, therefore, move " That this sitsUair views with horror and alarm tits possibility of the egonlog of the Crystal Palace at Sydeuham, or its green', by .uy public authority, on the Lord's day, thereby OVille a sanction to the national violation of the divine assemasid, easa selling down upon this nation them judgments Moaned in the divine word against those who prefabs the Sabbath day." The see. T. B. Murray seconded the motion. The resolution moved by Dr. M'Caul was then put and carried unanimously. Tho ARCHDRACON then read an address which he had prepared, and which, if they agreed to adopt it, might be sent by a deputation to Lord Derby. The Rev. Mr. Cox moved that the address just read be adopted substantively by this meeting. Dr. CIVOLT seconded the motion, which was put and carried nem. res. A committee, consisting of the Archdeacon, the Rev. Mr. Widdock, Dr. Croly, Dr. M'Caul, and the Rev. Mr. Good, was then appointed for the purpose of maki ng suc h ver b a l corrections in the ahnve addresses they might Anil neces sary prior to its receiving the signatures of the clergy of the archilesconry ; after which, the aforesaid committee, with the addition of the Rev. Mr. Co., are to form a deputation for the purpose of presenting the document to Lord Derby. The Rev. T. 11. HORNE then moved, and the Rev. 8. W ices monocled, a vote of thanks to the Archdeacon, which was unanimously passed, and the proceedings then termi nated. A BARON IN DInTREAS.—The Conatitutionnel re lates the following striking example of the vicissitudes of fortune: About a fortnight Nieman old man, about 80, pre sented himself at the inside of Chatillon suit-Seine to demand the %null assi•taneo given to paupers when travel ling.

FALL OF A RAILWAY BRIDGE AT SUEFFIELD. SHEFFIELD, FRIDAY AFTERNOON. This afternoon, at three o'clock, the Sheffield branch of the Midland Railway (the Sheffield and Kocher ham line), was suddenly blocked up by the fall of a bridge that spans the line about 500 yards north of the Sheffield station. It was an iron girder bridge, thrown over the railway a few years ego, on the formation of a new road, constructed on the estate of the Duke of Norfolk, and lead ing from an extensive plot of ground near the Rotherham Turnpike-road to a parallel thoroughfare on the opposite side of the railway, called tho Occupation-road. The fiat girders of the bridge rested upon luteral buttresses, and was supported in the centre by bracket& springing from the tresses immediately beneath the end of the iron beams. The area of the bridge was about 20 feet by 30 feet, and the whole structure being of iron, covered by a layer of earth, its weight would be very considerable for • bridge having no intervening columns between the extre mities. The ashlar stone upon which the brackets have rested is torn away, from which fact it would seem as if the failure of the stone had caused the downfall. The moment that the bridge lost the support of the brackets it would in evitably collapse. Nothing had occurred before the acci dent to suggest the slightest apprehension, and without a moment's warning, the erection fell from its place upon the railway, • mass of Artois several feet high. The traffic was, of course, suspended, and all the engines, carriages, &c., o n the Sheffield side made prisoners, the trains from Rother ham and the main line of the Midland railway being also brought to a dead lock. Most remarkable there happened to be no living creature either upon the bridge or beneath it at the precise time of the accident. The unmet extent of the disaster, therefore, is the entire destruction of the bridge and the obstruction of the line. A gang of workmen were set to work imme diately to clear the way, and they are at this moment (4,60 p.m.) busy at their task. In the owns of a few hours both the up and down lines will be clear. In the mean while the passengers have to walk to and fro from the station, a little beyond the scene of the accident.

ROBBERY AT THE LEEDS WELLINGTON RAILWAY STATtow.—A considerable sum of money has been ab stracted from the booking.office of the London and North- Western Railway Company, at Leeds, and the thief has not yet been discovered. On Saturday lest Mr. 11111, the booking clerk, was ill, and not able to attend to his duties, which, in his absence, were performed by a nephew of his, a youth, who on that day received for tickets upwards of 57f. - This sum the young man states ho left locked up in Mr. private slrswer, before leaving the booking-office at half , put 9 o'clock on Saturday night. Ile went to the office again on Sunday morning, to book passengers for the 5.30 a.m. train, and whilst there he tried to open the drawer into which he had put the money the night before, when he found that the key would not move the lock, and it was not without considerable difficulty that he could get it open at all, and then he found that the whole of the 671. had been taken out by some one. The officials of the company have since been making inquiry into the matter, but, up to this time, with no satisfactory result. THE LATE ROBBERY IN THE STRAND. Yesterday Jacob Catitleherg, watchmaker, of 23. Neweastle-street, Whitschapel, and Route 11.,rt, who described himself u a tailor, were placed at the liar of the Bow-street Police-court, before Mr. Jardine, charged on I suspicion of being concerned in stealing geld and ailrer watches from the shop of Mr. Jones, of 306, Strand, in th e Inight of the 9th of October last. Mr. John Jones, the prosecutor, deposed es r e n ews: y am a watchmaker and jeweller, living at 308, Strand. o u the night of October 9 a large quantity of stock, consisti ng of gold and silver watches and jewellery, was stolen f rom my premises. I offered a considerable reward for the app prehension of the offenders and the recovery of the pm. perty. Yesterday evening (Thursday) a man named Ash ley called at my shop. I had a partial renieinhmot,, of him, from his having applied to me for work on a former occasion; but I had nu other knowledge of the mien. He showed me four silver watch-ewes, without eith er the movements or glasses belonging to th em. They strongly resembled a portion 01 the stolen property, and 1 consequently took them to ono of my work. men. From information given to me by Ashley re specting the watch cases, I was induced to confer with Mr. Pearce, the superintendent of pollee, whom I of accompanied to the house of the prison. rt' stiefprrg, at. 23, Neweastle.street, Whitechapebroad. We found Caw tleberg there. Mr. Pearce produced the fuse silver watch cases, and showed them to bins separately, at the some time a‘kicg if he had ever seen either of them before. 11. e slid " No. Pearce then asked him if he knew a man named Adiley ? He replied " Y.ts," adding , "that Adiky bid c. easionally done little jobs f u r him. " Pearce a.ked him I he had ever given the four silver watch caul to Ashley, pi either of them ? The prisoner replied " Nu." Thtn Pe4:ce said to him, "I ant a police•officer, and I charge you with hosing stolen property in your possession," xebec quemly announcing his intention to search the house. The prisoner then asked who I was, and who the other parties were (my workman and two police-constables) who accomp an i e d us ? Pearce told him that I was Mr. Jones, upon which he mistimed, "Oh, Mr. Jones, I am a watchmaker; the same as yor are." Peorco began searching Owed the shop, and pftsently spored a drawer, in which we sew the inside works (or neiscrinnts), and th e glees, belonging to each of the watch cases. I took up the movements, one after the other, and littul them into the cases which I bad received from Asl,ley. I can swear that the works found in the prisoner's drawer belonged to those eases. The Attorney for the prosecution—Can you also girtat that they are part of your property ? Mr. Jones—That requires sonic explanation. In their present state I cannot swear positively to the movements. Upon my exemining them minutely, the prisoner Castle berg said, " I am only a workman, Mr. Jones, and these watches were brought to me in pieces, ready gilt and ea graved, for me to put together and get the asset polished. I asked him, "Who gave them to you r" He said he did nut know the name of the man, but that be would be call ing at his (Castleberg's) shop the next morning et 11 o'clock, so that if we watched Mr hint we might take him. I said to him, " Tell the truth, like a man," or words to that effect, "for you must know who brought them to you." The prisoner then said, "The man's name is Hart," 1 inquired if it was Levy or Aaron Hart, and I understoed him to reply that it was Itobin Ilart. 1 asked him whet, Ilsrt lived, and he said that he did not know, but cou:1 take me to the place. The officers present agreed u accompany him to Hart's residence, sad I remained .it Cestleberg's shop with his workman, a rolish Jew, eta could not speak E,ngish. Mr. Jardine—Will ycu explain the alteration which ye: say nas been made in the works since they were in your possession ? Mr. Jones—The movements have been filed down mac% thinner, and the names and numbers erased from three of them, and the plates re-coloured. 1 can tell Ohio from my knowledge and experience as a watchmaker. With respect to the fourth watch, the plate is also much reduced in th:clc• nes. ow ing to the erasure of the original maker's name. Another name is now engraved upon the plate, and tl e number of the watch has been altered. A figure 7ha been prefixed to the original number, and the figure 1 bas been altered into the figure 4. On looking at the watch with my eye glass 1 am prepared to say that the original number on the plate was 1,610. It now appears to he 71,610. If you look with the eye-glass at the figure which has been made into 4 you will see that the up "rake of a figure 1 still remains. (the magistrate examined the watch and appeared to concur in this opinion.) On reference to my stock book I am enabled to say that a silver watch, No. 1,610, was among the property at-den, and I beiieve that the watch now produced is the same. Independently of the obvious alteration of the figures, and of the aelf•evi dent fact that the figure 7, prefixed to the original number, is engraved deeper than the old figurer, I am confirmed in this impression by :be character of the watch, which re sembles the one that was stolen. Cron-examined, by an attorney who attended for Castle berg—My stock-book is here, and I find, on reference to it, that the watch in question (No. 1,810) was taken into stock in September last—the maker's mime bring tittty and Co. I cannot refer to any entry respecting the ether sweats, because the names and numbers upon them have been altered. For the same reason, lam unable to swear that they were in my possession on the day previous to the toth instant, when the robbery took place ; but I may mention the fact that the cases are made by my case-makers and the springs by my spring-trinkets. The name of " Setty and Co." has been obliterated from the fourth watch, and none other substituted. Any watch-maker could tell that the name plate had been thinned by the operation. Mr. Jardine—Would net 71,610 be a monstrous number to be upon a watch—if it indicates the number of watches made by the manufacturer ? Mr. Jones—The number is a large one, no doubt, but sometimes numbero are put on capricioindy. Mr. Jardine—Oh, that's another matter. Superintendent Pearce, of the F division, after confirm ing the evidence of the prosecutor, said—When the pri soner Castleberg was asked where he obtained the four watches, he replied, " The person who gave them to mo told me not to say where I obtaine I them from, if any in quiry should be made." By the direction of Castleberg, I accompanied Pocock and another officer to Hart's house, 4, Hann's-place, Whitechapel. We waited for him some time. He returned home at about half-past 12 o'clock at night. I told him I was an officer, and asked him if he knew Castleberg. He said " Yes." I naked him if he ever worked for Castleberg. lie replied " I have occa sionally done a job for him." I asked him if he had any of his.watches with him at that time, and he said, " No; 11 have none in hand." We went up stairs, and Pocock pulled out a box from under his bed. It contained a quan tity of articles in pearl, electro-plate, rice., but nothing which Mr. Jonas could identify as belonging to him. Hart said he was a tailor. This morning (Friday) I was stand ing in the yard at the back of the police-station when Hart came out of his celL The ether prisoner kCastlehter) exclaimed on seeing him " That's the man that I had the watches of." William Oallington, journeyman watchmaker, said—l live at Henry-street, Limehouse, anal have worked for Mr. Jones about eight years—and five years of the time on toe premises, 308, Strand. I have been in the habit of repin ing watches. I know the watches produced very well, and can identify three of them positively. I saw them four or five weeks ago in the pos,ession of Mr. Jones, cid I am tolerably certain as to the other watch also. The movements were given to me originally to t►ke to pieces and to repair, and new cases were to be made fur them. J'inaily I de livered thorn into the bands of Mr. Jones's sister. (The witness described the alterations and ensures upon the name-plate, as already deposed to by the prosecutor Croes•eaamined—l would not swear that it was rot rather more than five or six weeks ago. It miabt have been two months ago since I saw them last. No doabt " betty and Co." have made and sold a good many watches, but I remembered the watch in question more pnticularle, because I bad never met with the maker's nAme befile. All Mr. Jones's watches do not pass through my hands ; but this sort generally doer. There being no further evidence at present, Mr. Jardine remanded the ease for a week, and refused to Admit eithor of the prisoners to bail. BEDLAM. TO TIM EDITOR OF THE zxrniesp. Slit,—From a letter which appeared a day or tea ago in your excellent pagea, signed by an " P.a.Co:our Sergeant," it would appear that, notwithstanding your thorough spore, cruelties are still being perpetratei it Bethlehem Hospital.
