The religious toleration of the Prussian govern ment has Until been quoted and 01101 praised by the friends or condemned by the enemies of religious freedom. Experience unhappily proses that religious toleration in Prussia is worse than a sham. It is true that there an , no laws against atheism or deism, or against believing whatever a Mall may choose — it is true that honied professors paid by the state continue uninobsted to imbue the• rising generations with the anti-re igloos teachings of Ilegel and Fichte, and that, iu consequence, no country in the world exhibits greater carelessness* towards the doc trines of the Christian faith ; but the state re cogniaes t hive churches, the Roman catholic.. the Jeu ish, and the protestant, the latter of which combines the evangelicals and the Luther:me. or the English high and low churches. Every profession of faith not belonging to one of thew three is not recognized by the law. The free congregations which sprung up previous to the revolution, and which according to the eonstitu- Bun are pertially legal. their members retaining their civil and national rights. are not paid; and as their meetings 0,1111: under the denomination of .` public meetinga,' their proceedings are watched with great jealousy. Their prayer-meetings are held under the guardianship of a constable, who ran close them w hen he pleases. Unpleasant as this may be tothe members of these sevemlseets,it is nothing what ever in camp urison to the proceedingsagainstthe free con grega t ions in the pros ince of Prussia. Some days ago the consist oriel direetory.t he highest clerical authority in the pros ince, issued a long decree against the ille gality of the ministers of the free congregations at tempting to perform the sacred offices of the church. All marringes performed by such persons are declared illegal, and the children resulting therefrom to be il legitimate.. The political government of the pro. wince had some time previous issued a similar notice, referrint more especiallv to the civil part of the ques tion. Me decree of the consistory at Dantzie deals with its spiritual bearings. 'the clergymen of the province are ordered to inform the members of the free congregations. and especially of the Baptists, that their teachings arc contrary to the directions of the Lord and the law of the church. The fol lowers of the Baptist persuasion are to be exempted fromthe holy sacrament, from the ceremony of mar riage anti from the o ffi ce of godfather at a christening, and from all other offices belonging . to the church, and the public schools connected with the church. Their bodies, wheu dead, are not to receive the usual funeral ceremony, nor are their brethren to be per mitted to enact their own ceremony within the churchyards. They are declared to be neither evan gelists nor Christians; and their doctrines are described as the deceptive teachings of man, which bring not peace unto the soul. I have purposely avoided quoting many portions of this document as not belonging to the region of newspaper smatter, but when German papers taunt the English people and the English government with illiberality and feudal practices towards the catholic' in England, it is absolutely indispensable that so flagrant a ens of intolerance and bigotry in their own minter and against persons professing protestantismong mot catholicism, should be published and co smantsi on. The Prussian civil and religions authorities in this instance combine to excommunicate all per- IMO whose religious denominations agree with those of the Baptists, the Unitarians, and the Metho- dilt4 in England. These sects in Pnuisia have bud their sentence of detith pronounced by the order of the limaisterial Directory of Dantzic. BERLIN APRIL t. I little nnticipated, when I closed my letter yester day, that I should receive within the next twenty four hours the most startling confirmation of the fears I expressed therein. In that letter I endea voured to shadow forth the dangerous consequences to the protestant dominion in Germany, which must ensue from the enormous growth of political power in the hands of catholic Austria from the admis don into the Germanic confederation of her now German but catholic provinces, and I sought to establish good reasons why, apart from all other political considerations, Lord Palmer mot, should, on behalf of prutestantism in Europe, oast strenumisly oppose this part of the Austrian plans. I mentioned the anxious hope with which the catholic party in Westphalia and the Ithiew pro vinces were waiting for the full success of Austria to commenee a violent struggle for the repossession of their ancient supremacy in civil as well ns reli gious matters; and I stated that, from the influence of the ultrumontane party in Paris, the opposition of France would eventually prove to he mere words. One argument I certainly mated. It is, the very little diffiwence, beyond mere form, which exists between the protestant pietist party in Germany, the Kreuzritter or Junkers, headed in Prussia by Gerluch and Stahl, and the arch-agitators of Ric Roman entholies. I forgot that, while the latter have resolved to leave no stone unturned to bring Europe back again to the thraldom in which it was held by the papal church previously to the Reformation, the former are exerting themselves in the same direction, without any pre cise limit to their Woos ; I forgot that the latter are combating the spiritual, and the former the material or political results of the reformation ; in fact, that both are fighting in the sate cause, though under different burners, and that the pietist protes tant is far more to be dreaded than the catholic. Ile is tr u sted by the ignorant protestant, who dues not, and by the cunning catholic whim dors see the ten dencies of his doctrines. The catholic knows that there is hut one step between his seeming enemy and catholicism. The Goluchs and Stahls of Germany have much in common with the English Puseyites. The last stage of Poseyism, conversion to Roane, is ulso, though it, has nut been apparent until now, the last resting-place of the German pietist. The evidence necessary to prove this to its full extent is to be found in the fact to which I Oudot in the commentement of my letter, us startling confirmation of my fears for pro testantimem. That fact is the sudden eonversiou to Humanism of five or six of the highest member% of the Kreuzritter or Pietist party in the duchy di Mecklenburg-Schwerin, and when I add that the Mecklenburg section of that party arc generally con-' sidereal to be the most advanced, I conceive I am jus tified in assuming that the whole is necessarily tend ing in the same direction. The names of the parties • have not been mentioned, but I um told that there is mine, if not more, of the Bohm fondly amongst them. The inborn:aim of this fact has created a great sensution in those circles in which the interests of protestantimn are watched with zealous affection. It is feared that the example of the Mecklenburg nobility will, if not immediately, before very long, be followed by numerous others, and as one of the chief impulses rs political fanaticism ; and as, mom ov: r, this very party is thedominant one in northern Germany, theme is no hope of any edit:iced oppos e :ion in (Women,: to the enormous increase of politi cal power at which !tumult catholic Austria is grain ing. The cony, radians in Mec.:lomburg have been achieved under the immediate agency of the church of Rome. In that duchy there ore but very few Roman catholies, but for some years lost a certain Ronan catholic legate, named Prosperi Russo, has !seen in the habit paying regular visits in Meck lenburg, and has smoothed the channels of commu nication with Rome. The holy see has been busy, too, during time past year, in several Prussian cities, which love been honoured by curelinals with more than one vomit. It behoves the protedunts of Ger vq be on their guard. ME SUSPENSION OF A CLERGYMAN AT unAvEsEND. (From the/PUN :V.v.) The following statement of facts, the accuracy of which we have assurance of, is at once characteristic of traetarian audacity mid of episcopal habits:— There is at Gravesend, in the diocese of Rochester, a proprietary chapel dedicated to St. JtillN. This chapel belongs to the Rev. Mr. BLEW. On the prin ciple, it is to be presumd, that every man has a right to do us he likes with his own, he performs divine worship therein in what Bishop BLOMFIELD has de signuted the " histrionic" stele he has ineesnant ser vices going on, constant bell-ringing. or rather con stant bell-tinkling, choral performance. and all the other mummeries" of his sect. With these, of course, so high a churchman us the Bishop of Roetiels- Teat did not interfere; and, though they give offence to the church laity of Gravesend, yet, us St. Jolm's was not a parochial place of worship, they did not complain; they simply staid away. Notoriety mid excitement seem, however, indis pensable to clergy of Mr. way of think ing ; and he certainly hits on a novel mode of obtaining the one and stimulating the other. For, whilst all the rest of England was addressing and protesting against the pupal aggression, this Graves end 'fracturian fell to memorialising Cardinal WISEMAN, and he persuaded sonic of his congrega tion to join him. The prank soon gained wind, and a vcry respectable gentleman in Gravesend brought the report under the notice of Bishop NIVRILVI ; but, as it was only conveyed to that prelate as a report, he had that excuse fur paying no attention to it, and he paid none. The text of the address to the car dinal, however, oozed out : and as such a document from a clergyman of the church of England and his congregation is as yet a rarity, our readers will, per haps, like to know its purport. After expressing unfeigned respect for the cardinal's person and epis copal office as Archbishop of Westuunster, the ad dress proceeds thus : We venture not to offer to your Eminence the tribute of our sympathy and condolence under the painful divappoint ment of hopes unexpectedly thwarted, and countenance un worthily withdrawn; yet this we do presume to that the opposition ostensibly directed against your nave is really pointed at ourselves; at those • us who, trusting to the sacramental element of the eh aspire after that meekness of heart and spirit which Christ. our common toaster, has enjoined upon us, and that charity which his blessed apostle has bidden us to follow after, to cherish, and maintain. We pray you, therefore, to weeps this simple avowal of our feelings which the circumstances of the case seem to call for, as an earnest that the clamour of the many is not to be regarded as the unequivocal voice of religion sad of the church of England. Fortified with a certain knowledge of this extra ordinary. address, the gentlemani n question again communicated with the Bishop of Roan:suit ; Mr. BLEW, too, went to his diocesan and the result of the two communications was, that the bishop re marked " It is a pity," but did nothing. And there, in all probability, the matter would have ended, had it not been that Lord ASHLEY, in formed of the circumstances, took upon himself to address Bishop Muittur. Now Lord ASHLEY is, amongst the bishops, quite a power ; a sort of super visor of episcopacy ; a man whom they dislike and fear, but obey. And what the bishop would not do for the plebeians of Gravesend, he quickly did on Lord AsnLev's reclamation; and that was, he sus pended Mr. BLEW from his spiritual functions in the diocese of Rochester for six months. This is a fair specimen of the manner in which our bishops rule their dioceses, of the influences which prevail with them, of the remonstrances they pay no attention to. Let a lord or a great proprietor address them, and they are all suavity, cordiality, and ac quicacence. But let an humble tradesman or an active Churchwarden, in his zeal for the church, complain to them, and he meets with severity, frowns, and repulses. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 17, 1851.

Wiitsrox, the learned and indomitable master of its grammar school, sought the intervention of his visi- sac.; " torial authority to compel the Dean and Chapter to fulfil their statutes touching the Foundation Boys, which they had sworn to obey, the Bishop, after 15 months' silence and reflection, referred Mr. Wins- Tom to the Court of Chancery; and how, when Mr. WittsvoN went there and thence to the Queen's Bench, he was met by the capitular plea, that the Bishop alone, as Visitor, had the tight of interference. Nor are they likely to forget how the ecclesiastical commissioners were allowed to sell the old palace at Rochester for much less than it was worth ; and to, buy the new episcopal residence at Dunebury for great deal more than it was worth : all at the ex 'misc. of the episcopal fund. These things rise to public recollection whenever attention is called to the Bishop of Routs:sm. And with them is rc mentbered how for years, down to some months ago, the Deans of Rochester were permitted to receive and take fur their own use the profits of the estates belonging to the old packer House at Chatham, t r , though they had no more right or title to them than •t. , had the Emperor of Mottoceo ; and how now the !„' tenants of that property are about to be IRRleted. heavily by the ArrouNEv-Gestatet. for the faith r they placed in decamp leases. These are reminiscences stereotyped in the public recollection, however powerless they seem to be on I episcopal conduct. Ili THIS DAY. ettAng prim Yftterday. &Id to- . lsy up to I o'clock.

The English stock market has scarcely maintained the highest rates of yesterday, but a fair amount of steadiness is generally exhibited. The business is not very extensive, though it includes another pur chase of the Rediked Three per Cents. by the govern ment broker. Consuls have been steady all day, at the quotation of 971 to 1, both fur money and the account of the 13th of May. The fact that the lute both for money and time has ruled almost identical, must be reg.:mica as unusual at so early u period in the account. The list of the day's transactions is : Three per Cent. Consols, Ili!, ; ditto fur account, 97 , , ; Three per Cent. Reduced, 961, ? Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 98, 4 971. Long Annuities, 1860, 7g; India Stock, 2( 4, The unfunded securities remain steady. Exchequer Bills of all sizes have been dealt in at 51s. and .575. prom.; and India Bonds, large, at 635. prem. In the foreign stock market business is chiefly restricted to two or three descriptions, which at the present moment circumstances bring more pro minently forward. The critical state of affairs in Portugal has brought in numerous sellers of the bonds, and the price of the Four per Cents. has been depressed as low as 31), which shows a fall of about 4) per cent. since the intelligence of the revolutionary movement reached here. Towards the close of business bows yesterday, speculation was more vigorously prose cuted in Mexican Bonds, and the price reached 311 for amount, but it closed worse as the upward movement brought forward sellers. To day a good many sales for time have been made , and the quotation has been kept in cheek, ranging from 311 to ), and last marking 311. Spanish Bonds have been rather better to-day. The bu siness marked is : Belgian Four-and-a-llalf per Cents., 91. Two-and-a-Half Iper Cents.; Dutch, 581, 59; ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 90. Mexican Bonds, for account 30th of Apri , 30, ail, Portuguese Four per Cents., 32), 32, 31), 321. Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 99; ditto small, 991, 99. Spanish Active Five per Cents., 19;, Venezuela I tekrrod Bonds, 12;. The final settlement of the fortnight's account in the foreign stock market has not passed over without the occurrence of u further casualty, which has ex- cited some sensation in the " house?' This is the failure of a dealer, Mr. J ames Sinallhone,l under circumstances which have called forth strong continents on the part of many of the mem- hers. The party in question is stated to have passed, in the course of yesterday, cheques to the amount of about 20,000/., which have been returned. To meet his dishonoured cheques it is said that he has only about 7 Md. in the hands of his banker. To-morrow, being Good Friday, will be kept, as usual, as a strict holiday in the City, and the banks, Stock Exchange, and other public offices will be closed. From the committee of Spanish bondholders we have received the following : Madrid, April 10, 1851. James Capt.', of the !"oramittee of Spauish Bondholders, London. Dear hasten to infora; you, that to-day's Gazefee contains the decree convoking the new Chamber of Depu ties for the Ist of June. Although, according to the con stitution, the government might have delayed until the 7th of July the no sting of the chamber, yet they have en deavoured to abbreviate this period, in order to calm as won as possible the natural anxiety of the bondholders, who, after giving so many proofs of patience and modera tion, have been agailt frustrated in their hopes in the very • moment when a new era was expected to commence for the credit of Spain. As untoward its this circumstance is, it is gratifying to me to lw able to inform you, that his Excel lency Senor Bravo Murillo, President of the Council of Ministers, whom I have had the honour to we respecting the subject, has given me the most positive assurance that the project for the settlement of the debt will be one of the first laws submitted to the new chamber. The great efforts which his Excellency recently made to obtain the sanction of the lust chamber, are a sure guarantee to the bondholders that the government will fulfil so sacred an obligation, so as to justify the good faith of Spain from this involuntary delay. The funds have re covered in sonic degree front the tint unfavourable impres sion, and they closed to-day: The 5 per Cents., with four over-due Coupons •161 „ Debt without interest „ 3 per ('eats 36 With the reiterated assurance that my best services will always be at your disposal.-1 remain, my dear sir, your most obedient servant, DANIEL WEI.WEILLEIL • I think this should ne 15, 3 p. The Committee for the Tribunals of Commerce have just issued a fresh circular, which contains a list of the einninittee as remodelled, and which in cludes not only a score members of parliament re presenting all the fps:at towns, but the heads of a number of mercantile firms. We are surprised the Committee of inquiry has not yet been moved for in thellouse of Commons, preliminary to bringing in the bill. The transactions in Bank shares this week have been limited, and at former vriees.

NEWSPAPERS AND THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE REVENI:E.—A return has just be ii printed by order of the Mouse of Commons, on the motion of Mr. Itrotherton, showing the number of stanips issued fur newspapers in the lust year, the number of newspapers and their adver tisements, and the advertisement duty paid. It appears that there ore 593 newspapers printed in the United King dom, of which 1.59 ant published in London, 222 in the English provinces, 110 in Scotland, and 102 in Ireland. The number of stamps issued for these in IMO was 13,916,011 of which 11,969,045 were supplemental or half penny stumps. The number of advertisements contained in these in 1850 was 2,252,550, and the duty !mid on these to the government amounted to 163,035/.ls. This return is a continuation of Parliamentary Paper 203 of Session 1850. THE RAILWAY BF:TWEEN ALEXANDRIA AND Csino.—A letter from Alexandria, in the Assenthlt'e Mx tionak, gives the following details, relative to the proposed railroad from Alexandria to Cairo :—.• The Alexandria sta tion is to be placed at the Mahmoudich gate, the centre of the commercial movement. From that spot the line is to proceed between the two lakes of Ektuu and Muryout, and parallel to that of Mahmoudich. It is afterwards to branch off, and join the canal which fertilises the province of Ita birch. This railway, following the :ins of the two princi, Toil canals, will not have any great obstacles to encounter. !'here arc no tunnels to excavate or cuttings to make, but it will find an inconvenience quite unknown in Europe, and that is the Kamsin, the wind of the desert, which arrives charged with sand, and which !caves such sudden heaps behind it. The circulation could be sometimes interrupted by visitations of that kind. But there is a means of guarding against it, for experience proves that this wind which, generally lasts .50 days, is stopped, as if iniraculouslyi by the interposition of alleys of trees. It is in consequence intended to plant long ranges of wild fig trees, which grow perfectly well in the sand. From Cairo to Suez, the railway would appear to present greater diffi culties, for there is no intention at present to execute a line between those two places. The present mode of travelling across the Isthmus has been much improved. Hair-Eddim- Paella has the superintendence of the whole way ; he has had inns erected at suitable distances, where relariahorses, camels, provisions, and above all, water, are found in abun dance. At Suez, a very comfortable hotel is to be found, kept by M. Coulomb, a native of Provence, and formerly head cook to Mehemet Ali. There is also a very good hotel at Alexandria, and another atCairo. Is this di•tance between Cairoand Suezto be crossed by a canal ? Such a communica tion has been from the earliest times the dream of all the most powerful kings, and the trace of a canal, which existed between Suez and Fara= in the Mediterranean, is still to be seen in the narrow valley called Sabaa-Bier. In the reign of Louis-Philippe, three commissions of engineers— one of Austrians, one of French, and a third of English— were named to examine the possibility of constructing such a canal as could carry vessels from India into the Mediter ranean. Nothing came of their surveys, probably on an count of the jealousy existing between these different corps. Mr. Stephenson amved here a short time since on a similar mission. He is in favour of remaking the canal of the Ptolemies, which was directed, not towards the Mediterra nean, but towards the Nile, at Memphis. But, according to the French commission sent to Egypt, the Red Sea is 30 feet higher than the Mediterranean, and 14 feet higher than the highest water of the Nile. In consequence it will he necessary to maks a railway. Grand ideas have been conceived on this matter—es, for instance, to tow the vessels on the railway, and then to launch them into the waters on the other side. Nothing, certainly, is impossible to the genius of man, but I cannot say that such a plan will be ever realised."
