HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. fs Ma—Mastag, Y. kr --41arria. 10.1101 WW —Karam, Y. $50.---ARgiscs. 41. 005. LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3. EVERY week now unfolds new upsets of the Presidential Elsotion—ths mast important Presi dential Election for half a century. AU the illustra tive incidents ars fresh ; and sores of thins are Tory strange. The most important move perhaps is the re. viral of the Bull of GREGORY XYL against negro slavery, which we publish textually in another part of our columns. Than Rev. HEM WARD BIIBUICEI4 Mrs. Browit'a brother, edits the most flourishing religious newspaper in the United Btatss—ths Arlo York Independent. In a numbs: of that paper, of 28th of August, the editor relates an anecdote of a wealthy cities& ending to hie surprise that his Irish machman, a Catholic, was not going to vote on the Democratic side on tie precut occasion. It hes been so oompletely a matter of course for the Catholics to vote on the " Demo. Natio" side, and it usually takes so loos to convince a body, like that of the Europese immigrants, that a change of principles is covered by the old term, that all the world concluded that the entire Romanies of the Union would go for BIICRANAN. The aldose inquired hie coachman's reason, for intending to vote for Faxicom The man replied that it wail oontrary to his religion to vote on the peo-slavery side. The Catholics who did so, he declared, were ignorant of the Pupa's Bull ; as they well might be in America, linos the Bull is omitted from the Prayer-books of American Catholics. He brought his Irish Prayer book to his employer, who handed it to Mr. Buzau. for the publication of the Bull. It appeared in the Independent of August 28th, heeded by a wood. cut representing the Porn blesiag a kneeling negro. Of course, the Bull was known to American Catholics when first boned; but Bishop ENOLLXD, of Charleston, took upon himself to decide that the slavery denounced was that of Mohammed's eons trier, and the trade of the Atrium coast ; and the Bull was suppressed in religiose books, sad allowed to drop out of sight sad oat of Riad. Its application to American slavery is so dear that it required the audacity of a political priest to igncee it. Its publi cation in the Indopondost produced se strong and so immediate a sensation that an alike, fa pamphlet form, of forty thousand copies was imbed as soon as it mold be got ready. Of mum the independent is reviled in the religious world of tbs South as having blooms a political sewspaper; bet there is no ex cluding a Papal Bull from the ramp of seclesisatiesl topics, whatever may be its political effect. The Catholics have in this ease leased something new within the pale of their own church ; and the imam► diets effect is carrying over the Catholic body is the United States to the side of Fasmoier. The lest American tenons gimethe number of Catholic Menthes as 1,112, 'addle accommodation intbent as for 620,960; explairiag that this return gives no idea of the real ambers, is worship is held in schookooms, private homes, and public belle, where churches do sot yet exist. At the lowest computation, the &comics of the bulk of the Catholic' body may probably auffies to turn the male in hummer's favour. Another indication is the vehemence excited in both parties by the result d the Mauls electives. An official dependent of the PRISIDInfiI bad cow Silently betted on a majority of 6,000 against the Republicans. The first move, ruder the impulse ef dieappointmeat, is to organise means for disallowing the elections, if Fazatmer should De the sassessfel candidate. Absurd and leasable as sash a proposal appears, it is certainly entsetalsed at Waskingtes. Some of the Southern leaders say mealy that "Plummer will not be allowed to take his seat.* We shall ere presently bow his exelsrion will pro- batty be attempted. His friends, meantime. are regretting the exultation with white the MADI3 Wearies. have bees reerimil. It is true, they my, that so single symptom mold bee favourable m this dessonstratice of the mead republissahet of the State which epees the electoral meanest in New Ilegbad : bat it is too soca he ossildosse. Failure in Mania would have caused deopreirmey; and asesses meet sot induce sewarity. The Manta else. dons were the topic of the day when the last mils wore sods up. Another fresh and timely disclosers is that Paz. mon was dieted and refined, at this time last year, an embarked and deJilterete ear from the Dine: amnia party of nomination for Use President hip, Governor FLOYD, of Virginia, was deputed by the leading men of the party, North and South, to ease their marries to Colonel Fusion, and two interviews took pleas at New York, is September, UniS, whisk ✓esulted in Fuenotres replying that, regarding the repeal of the htiseeari Compromise as he did--as ea idiom breach of pledged faith—he meld not wept nomination by the mime of its supporters. The fast is now elicited by simmestasces tiara a hind sad Isilowizamlier (at that tirse)cf Femmes —Use Hoe. Owens BATIKS, who made his statement at a public meeting. The delight of the Gee party end the fury of the other at this &deem may be imagined. Butz the time of the Reformation of our Chareb, in the sixteenth century, then hem never been a period when the great body of the working clergy was more intent upon doing its duty than now. The mashers of this body are, with each exceptions as we might naturally expect, zealous, hard-wceking, inselfieb, and singularly bent upon fulfilling mg of the duties of their station. Those who have Intend the progress of the Chinch for the lent thirty yeas will bear us out in saying, that during that time the alteration in the habits of the working clergy bee been most striking. The imam of services, of district visiting, sad of sank, all testify to the ea tivity of the class of whit& we are speaking. And yet, strange to say, is the midst of this inereale Of OW we look in vain for an bums, of knowledge. In proportion as the slew have bums more esiuset, they have name more pronerional. Their minded has improved, but their sympathise have not ex tended. They are better clergymen, bet they moot wiser mes. The better seal whisk they display fa their pronesional lams le mot aseempeend by a sorrespoading tureen of Massey in their tratoperr Lion with their fellows. We have bees led into these remarks by the prase tie amass jest publiehedoritk en appendix, by the Rev. I. IL Ovum It le worthy studs% as a bold deseneiation of an nil under whirl' the Chunk eedbrieg, delivered beim a magma Alan the nature of which makes the sot appear still more bold. The presehsr had mond his hearers several of the bishop. They had assembled in the Chapel of Lambeth Palace on the °session of the consecration of the Bishops of Gloucester end Bristol. and of Chriatchmula, New Zealand. The hardihood with whisk Mr. Guaxav exposed the real deficiencies of the clergy, before those whose Medals it is to take care that all the Aosta of the Church do their duty, was worthy of the times when the pulpit wee the great educator of the nation. He pieced out in forcible language that jest at the very moment when the increase of the public intelligence and of the means of publle education were ranking themselves noticed as the principal features of the age, the power and dieting of the pulpit were diminishing. It is as undoubted fast that all that is taught from the pulpit sow-a-days is as Maiming' persica of the whole moat of what is poured forth, week by week, to quill= the !stellate, sad Worm the made, sad gelds the Par neat, of oar rugb; fellow ematryoms.

Bach a state of things is possible up to a certain point indeed in Raman Catholic ormstries, when the doe administration of the sacra- meats is ccasidmed of higher importance than any mount of mere teaching, and where the priest ozogicio lays claim to supernatural powers; but this an never be the awe in Probstant assatrial. The poor of the priest bore derma chiefly upon his lassoes, and his inflames is a joint malt of the holi ness of his lib and the energy aad metals= of his teaching. If people have "to complain; to as Mr. Gertmires words, " when a sir. tam le over, that they have beard 'otitis( bat shallow ramming and trite comisomplaoss, or that the twirls had little relation to amen's maim= life, or that meal dillealties which perplex men's minds have not been dismissed or allowed for," they will soon cease to hold more than a nominal annmardoe with the ministees of the Church. No lacrosse of activity in district visiting, organishig schools, establiehing societies, solemnising the Nerviest, will compensate for a defleirmey in the power of producing an inspeseskes from the pulpit. In the appendix to Mr. 0171 WIT'S sermon the reader will And mese of tha omen of the deficiency to which we have alluded. The remedy will only be foand by making pablie opinion beer upon the Bishops. It is these high dignitaries alone who have the power at stemming an evil which threatens to sap the foundations of the Church. Calm the Bishops take proper promotions that no man shall wend a pulpit who is not competent to preach, the Church will lame more and more of its Ardency. The great Apostle _ _ of the Gullies, is the words oilmen by Mr. Ocriutor foe a text, directs Ttefornr to depute the charge of the ministry to faithful men, " who shall be able to teach 'then also." This injunction, which ought to be respected by oar bishops, is scandalously untested. All that a bishop knows of the quell- Sodom of a candidate who presents himself for ordisation ea a deacon, is that he has a certain amount of denied knowledge, that he studied a certain number of books on historical and theologi cal sebjests, that he is aequaiated with the leading points of the great theological sontreversiss, and. that he as string together a few emboss' in War Ueda of a given text.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THE NEAPOLITAN QUESTION. The Mediterranean squadron (French), ander the I command of Admiral T bonart," says the TOUIOIO. sale of the Ist, "is still in oar roadstead. The crews had been forbidden for some days to leave their vessels, which circumstance gave birth to the rumour that they only waited for a telegraphic notice to sail for Naples. That interdiction has now been taken off, and nothing leads to the supposition that any speedy departure is in contemplation." A despatch from Ajamio, dated Tuesday, says : " Two English war corvettes have arrived here from Malta. The squadrons are expected." The Austria's Gazette of yesterday oaths= a rumour which had been current, that the Marquis Petrulla, the Neapolitan Ambassador to the court of Austria, has again tendered his resignatbm. Baron de Hubner arrived on Wednesday at Trieste, and will very shortly arrive at Vienna. The 24-oculetablort states that the Hing of Naples hes caused all his moat valuable property to be re. moved to Gaeta, and that the population of the capital are in a very excited state. The result of the simian confided to General Martini, the Austrian Ambassador at Napks, is sousidmod as very doubtful. The journal de Drads, of Wednesday, professes to have received reliable intelligence from Paris to the effect that the views of the French immanent relative to the slain of Naples have bemuse 41 essen tially modified:* and that the fleet is not likely to leave Tooke.

Le Nord exposes fall confidence in the spirit of moderation and pea• 1 dance which distinguishes the French government, and which will enable it "to resist the too impetuous caprices of an ally, in whom eyes the King of Naples has many other faults, and the Sicilian question many other interests, than those which concern the Emperor of the French and Frames.' The Vienna correspondent of the same journal dr clans that the best kaolin now reigns between the Austrian and Neapolitan courts, and attributes the late coolness to the hesitation with which the proper honours were paid lest year to the Austrian squadron of evolution, commanded by the Archduke Ferdinand Kra, when it appeared before Naples.

There was a time when silver appealed aloes in circulation; gold, then rare, was sold and pa:lamed at a premium. This alarmed no body. Now, today, a contrary phenomenon is witnessed. Gold is 'Deaden; silver is rare, and the latter le now purchased et a premium. Silver is demanded by nations that are in west of it, and it is imported. It follows the same law as corn or other proclaim, which is directed on points where the demand is abundant. But money is not eaten or mourned.

Gold, which abounds, will butane the current coin, and we vault content ourselves with a silver circulation sufficient to meet mealier *apemen, in oAss of one and two franc*, in piton of fifty sad twenty centimes, whilst • misters of gold sad silver might be introducied. The gold coin actually in (decollation is mflieleat for all wants. During the put year the imports of gold amounted in bus to 276,131,706 fr., sad in oohs to 107,672,100 fr. —together, 383,803,800(r.; whilst the imports in bars and in coin amounted to 182,740,100 fr. thus leaving a balance in favour of the imports of 221,063,7004.

The above journal attributes the drain of silver to the settlement of the expenditure incurred during the war, which, it says, still demands from France above 80 millions per month. According to the official return of the beet root sugar manufacture just published, it appears that the quantity made from the lit September, 1855, to the end of August, 18513, was 92 millions of kilogrammes, being an increase of 47 millions over the previous year. The endows receipts at Havre during the month of September amounted to 3,785,1304 fr., being an aug mentation of 260,038 fr. on those of the ootresponding month of 1856. TREATMENT OF FRENCH POLITICAL BBILEB AT CAYENNE. The following article, apparently an official an swer to the statements made by M. Louie Blanc and his friends respecting the treatment to which politioal exiles are subject at Cayenne, was published yesterday: (From the Moniteur.) Although certain calumnies are refuted by their own groaners, it is nevertheless good sometimes to oppose them by direct espial:Miens. An endeavour has been made through certain publications to make foreigners believe that the men sent to Guiana had been the victims of the worst treatment, both during the voyage and since their arrival at Cayenne. The following is the answer to this accusation. An idea truly philanthropic presided, it is well known, in the sup preesion of the &apes and the establishment of Cayenne. It was justly cons:dered that the convicts of the begun, encumbered in France within confined and unhealthy spots, might be much better treated in a colony, where they could amend their lives and become useful. To this category, by virtue of the decree of December 8, 1861, were added the men that formed part of the secret societies, the majority of whom ware released criminals. Since the commencement of transportation to the present moment, the number of indi viduals seat to Cayenne, and belonging to the self-styled pallt cal category, has amounted to 820, a number which, frees the last returns, was reduced to 180. The diminution was owing to rather numerous napes ; to successive din 'barges through feelings of indulgence; and to 62 deaths, recorded in this category over a period of more than font years, a number that may unwise by its small amount, when we reflect that yellow fever has prevailed to an extraordinary degree in Guiana under its epidemic form. Daring the stay of those individuals in Guiana, the administration of the colony, far from d ' g the slightest reproach on the SOON of hard treatment, has, on the con. Vary, extended its care, consideration, and forbearance, es far as possible. This hes been atteated even by letters from the interested parties themselves. This Oars of prisoners has never been unfounded in the penitentiaries with the other., either en the Ws of La Mire or on that of St. Jo seph. They have always had special establishments as signed to them. For a long time they were maintained without being required to perform any regular work. This tolerance had necessarily its limit. It le a minority that has set itself in a state of opposition to the regulation ap pointing work in the penitentiaries—a work for the rest regulated in every essential condition, BO as not to impair either their health or strength. The clemency of the Emperor has been already extended, as we have just seen, to a not inconsiderable number of the prisoners reported to be penitent, or who were only known for their continued submiseioa to the system to which their rebellion had subjected them. Even among these, however, there were many whose antecedents, in a criminal point of view, were deplorable. Their dethriptione swarm with statements that would have justified the classification of them either with old offenders previously di• charged oe with eonvicit. There are among them, we are fain to admit it, assay that have been condemned, not by the present ilea el government, but by that of the republic itself. Legit not be forgotten, in few, that Algeria had received, fa virtue of a law passed in 1850, the moat dangerous portico et the lemuyinta of Julie, 1848, and that a certain numbs/ of these mete were merely sent from Algeri► to Chisels as • sheep of piece, the reason being their own bad conduct in the establishments of Northern Africa. From the beginning, the persons transported to Guiana in virtue of the decree of Dec. 8, 1851, have been scru pulously lodged apart from the convicts, and only MOM 88. , tary meetiage caused by circumstances have ever occurred between the old offenders and the so called political offenders. many of which last had been dietharged criminals themselves.. The meetings, for the rest, consisted in the location of them on one and the same island, but never beneath one and the tame roof. The obligation of work, common to all, has in theory been undenteod in a nailing manner, that is to my, the compulsory right possessed by the authorities went se far as imprisonment, and everywhere the prisoners have been bound, according to their capabilities and strength, to work in erecting dwellings and in gardening. But in fut s it may be said, that the so-called political class has enjoyed a large relative amount of liberty. Many lave received leave to reside at large upon bail, either in the town of Caren' or in the quarters; those who were confined either on the isle of La Mire, close to Cayenne, or on the isle of B'. Joseph (one of the ides alai Sallee), have only taken a secondary part;in the labourer At a later period, under the administration of Reei-A.dmlrel Bonged, this class or category, always steeping the men out on bail, were assembled on the third sale des Saul, the Devil's Island, the rule being laid down that those who should show themselves most dangerous by their resistance to the enders date authorities were to be sent on board the hulk Castor, and there detained under strict dis4line. If this were the proper place to compare the amount of work Imposed upon these transported entreats with that which is the lot of the convicts, properly so called, in the peaitentiaries of Guiana, it would be evident that then no analogy between the treatment and condition of those two classes of peruse. The labour of the forests is pre scribed to them, it is strictly compulsory, it is always gratuitous, and really of a productive kind, and it has always been exacted from them with as much regularity as the trying influences of the climate would allow. It is by the hands of the break that the establishments of the Isle Royal, the Montague d'Argent, and the Comte, have been formed. In the two first of these, the temporary wooden structures for barracks and hospital., the tempo rary magazines, defensive works, pumps, and cisterns, have I bean replaced almost entirely by edifices or buildings of brick and stone. In the third place two establishments have been formed, at St. Marie and St. Augustin, and at this time two others are in course of formation. Thant wen in June, 1866, on the Isle Royal, 919 forgets, all white men; on the Isle Ls Mille, there were 221; at the Montague d'Argent there were 189, and in Le Coast* there ware 838 ; besides which, In July, two fresh drafts, numbering about 603 men, were introduced at the Montagne d'Argent. It is by the labour of these criminals, assisted by two oe three hundred persons under judicial punishment and about a hundred sad fifty negro convicts, that the penitentiariel have actually been formed, end that they are carried at ander the a►le and persevering management of the officers and agents charged with their direction. The necessary conditions of their constitution, with the cruel embarrass meats caused by the yellow fever sod the climate la general, will account for their agricultural labours, without their having been neglected, being still to ems extant unproductive. As regards the class of convicts said to be transported for political offences, it may be said that, with rate exceptions, they have come to Guinn only to exhibit their idleness and their uselessness there. As for their treatment on board ship, the captain of the Brigs.. gives some detailed particulars, the preciseness of whilst' will serve completely to rebate the false accusation that have been made. The clothing supplied to them at statics' was not , uniform, but it was such as to prove the cue which has b•ee taken to clothe the persons transpnted differently front the forgets; they bad given to them pantaloons, pale tote, Weight from the Brest outfitters, woolen shirts, and shoes or boots taken on board is the ship stock. Their food 1 was the same as that of the crew and of the de -1 taehment of troops on board, and vessel sailed 0$ without a commission haring tined the good L quality of its provision,. Their water was taken from L the nine tanks which contained the water furaished to all the others, even the officers of the staff. Who will believe that the Begone carried come provisions specially laid in which were damaged, and wbich were set apart for the food I of the peruke traseperted ? Such an insinuation Minot itself. Back class of passengers occupied separate quarters, sad the men had so communication with each other. Every proceatioa was taken to prevent a mutiny, but, happily, we ►ad so occasion to have recourse to such muss; they showed thennelves submirsive and obedi.nt to the prescribed II orders. As for their health I spared no pairs to secure ft The portholes were regularly opened at sunrise and closed : at aunt. By suck insane, and thanks to the fine weather we mj led during the voyage, I arrived at the anehmage of Camas on the 27th of Jane without a single person on the sick list." Them last wcrde, "not oas on the sick list," 'Wad* trearythiag, and ars a cemplets answer to everything. They clearly dhprove the assertion that 'soh prisoner cm board was allowed a space of 90 centimetres. The passengers on board the Brlgone ware 400 persons; the venal had else her mew of 101 men, and 50 soldiers and watchmen. The &lions was an old 44 gun frigate, sad had beta stripped of her gene aid warlike material, and oonverted into a port ship. No one can suppose, therefore, that there wan the heat raowdlog on board of bar, such being the case. This, t►ee, is an exact and eiresisatautisl mount of all that sesoene the persons transported, during their pang% and sines their arrival at Ceyence. It is the simplest and beet contradiction of the falsehoods which hare bean written upon this subject, and with which it has been attempted In harm upon foraLgams. II
