The Prince has escaped with some slight abrasions. There were only two other passengers killed, but the number of wounded is more considerable than given in the newspapers. AtillAt all the pusengen are wounded more or lees dan gerously. It seems as if it wore not meant to be known with how little eineolony AS Prism of Prussia wu used by the 'Llet7, treating him so a lane mortal. No journal has yet slislei to the tact that the Prince was is the toils. All the world knows that the populace el this nolgibesehoed Is suentitioss, and this characteristic le often appealed to When it as sans the purpose cf the goverment. Ti,.

FATHER GAVAZZTB FOURTH ORATION, YESTEEDLY, IN THE PRINCESS'S CONCERT the household—a prosperous and happy community and dealt' swamped Ina deluge of blood, and visited with the sword of Attila and the torah of the Huns. Let the tiger look for et !apathy to the Spanith Cardinal Wiseman, but the heart of manhood still beats In England, and ex+cration tracks the footsteps of a scoundrel. (Cheers.) The first act of the Gaeta gang of felons, when the burglary of Rome had been accomplished, was to gag the inhabitants, and restore in all its abhorred machinery that instrument or tyranny the Holy Office. Can Wiseman deny this? Can he bresen out the fact of ove► airy clergymen being at this hour in its dungeons, from which hloneignor Osssola Ind Dr. Aehilli have been miraculously rescued ? Is not their crime that of which I am guilty, and glory in, having been chaplain to a regiment of freemen bent on the deliverance of their country? (Cheers.) Let this cardinal connive ao longer at bis mas:er's handiwork in Rome—let him come into court here with clean bands—let him bring for our inspection a bull suppressing the holy office end its ignoble aCCCSIOTiI“ there, and then make his" appeal to the feelings of English men." Until then how can he expect to be locked on in any other light than es a sneaking interloper, only w tieing the fuiness of time to cast off appearances and stand revealed in his true char imer—an ►gent of the Roman inquisition ? It matters not whether the instrument mt at work be a besotted mob of truculent and degraded beings from another island, as at Birkenhead, or the circulation of calumny in sermons or conversatienes or in print, the animus is the same—the spirit of Torquernada only transmigrates into whatever foul receptmle cast be made 'Tellable for its temporary accommo dation, till it can attain toll-blown dimensions sal sin hounded sway. Men of Ragland, keep your eyes filed on Rome. See the political and soeis: arcitquencet of what is sought to be palmed off on you as a mere spiritual system. M that prostrate and terror-stricken city, where a new Disuenick his celled to the aid of his tiara another Simon de Montfort; where the Betlouias and Algericesof France &mist at the brutalising spectacle of a nation dragged Lickwarls to the dismal phantasmagoria of the dark ages, blinded, :fagged, manacled, and maimed; look readily at Rome! We look, too, at oar beloved, bleeding Italy ! We have learnt to measure the mercies as reaction, and we treasure kp the hoarded memory of our WlOOO ; the day will yet dkwn for retribution. (Cheers.) The wretched mitred kids, the miserable eunuch of Florence, and the brutal B.mbe, whom ten thousand lemilies is their daily an•l sightly orisons to heaven curse with a wail of unutterable woe, shall know the full extant of our remembrance. (Thunders of applause.) --•- ------- - Crowds of stern energetic-looking foreigners, among whom it was not difficult to discriminate the clarsic Italian restores of the majority, thronged the varied assembly which the extraordinary eloquence of this gifted clergyman has suddenly gathered round him in the heart of London. The eager end breath less attention with which they hang on his every word and the contagious bursts of enthusiasm which ever and anon salute his outbreaks of true-hearted sacerdotal chivalry form a spectacle of a most tate resting character. The fearless spirit of the Father seems to revel and triumph in the sympathy of his coaotrymen. The congealed and frozen feelings which cad exile seemed to have pent up in the breast. of these doomed and devoted men from every province of that fair peninsula thaw and resolve under the warmth of his pa+sionate and soothing oratory : or, in the words of their own Filicaia— .' Oade io begn►i per tenures' it ciglio E del t o esiglio Temprairamaro con quel aao doles donor The speaker began by refereoce to his last address on inquisitorial horrors, which he reminded his audi tors that he denounced al a Christiau, and not in the epirit of Voltaire, though he fully felt what amount of justification the scoffers at all Christianity found in the abundant übuses of the papacy. A richer comedy, in fact, than what had been put in print about this tragic subject cord scarcely be found ern in the celebrated " Alooran of the Franciecsus." There was a certain friar Maud°, the poet laureate or official buffoon of the holy office, who had loft us a work towards its justifica tion, in which the Deity was brought forward as the prota gonist& of this revolting farce, and the trial of Cain before the antediluvian court of this (the blasphemy is not mine) almighty inquisitor, is minutely describes!. The next cause on his list is the process of the holy office against the builders of the Tower of Babel ! Yet, brutal and disgusting as this cespeoccinade seems to you, it is printed " by authority," like the kgista .bsgkse, Mr. Bowyer's " Raman documente," and intended for eirculs;ion among readers of equal obtuseness and kindred opacity. Yee, the yells of torture and the dismal groans of despair were fitly mingled in the conception of this hell- born con nivance with the maniac shriek of delirious laugliter and .be cold malignity of derision. The impious dreams of a drunken shaveling are the fie apologies for the bloody satur nalia of grim Graleri (Pius V.), who k•:ew how our priest. ridden mob is tickled by the combination of hangman and Pulcinello. What priest of Jesus could stoop to extreme such atrocious functions? Must not the meek charities of the Nottleemer have been previously merged in the minister of Moloch ; must not even manhood, the common attribute of us all, been extinct in the miserable wretch who sinks into the infamy of inquisitor, as the business of his lite ? A kindred lustiest nu taught the Vatican what was well known to the eeraglio, that eunuchs were the pet per bearers of the bowstring, and alone could strangle their victim without remorse or qualm, being de void of toe petrel impulses of our common humanity : here a degraded and emasculated class of priesthood was alone found fittest, not merely to charm the effeminate devotions of the papacy with strains of unnatural music, but to gratify its thirst for blood as agents of this ignoble and cruel institution. Laymen have the hnm•nisirg tits of kindred, of paternity, Cl social life, of family affection. To renounce the., holy endearments fur the sake of bettet serv ing the cause of Christ and mankind, is a plausible though still questionable pretension: but to divest oneself of tne domestic affinities only to become a m - TO ruthless and int:- stable butcher of the Pope, is ao execrable outrage on nature 'as on the gape 1. Depth of degradation, foal feculence of function, be which God's inneritanoe." the consecrated pritsthoed is brought on a level with the Freddie and Nu. donis of Rome, the Torresanis and the Bolus of Milan, the Pernades and the Neuritis of Naples! Who ham not heard the boat of Aarrro, sacerdotal executioner at Cordova, who, in derision of alchemy and its scientific pursuits, broke forth into the brutal and burlelque proposition, " Give me a J. w, and row you in my crucible a residuum of sakes!" To whom is the name of Cardinal Torquemada unknown ? A church functionary, who went about, net like his master, "doing good," bur, like the beast of Scripture, "seeking whom to devour." Know we not well his path of peer:Hoz, his bloody footmarks through our own peninsula, the South of France and the Spanish provioces, leaving in each kinadom such hecatombs of victims that the exploits of Den Juan in a different though equally dignified and Christian lino of per formacce, seem numerically absurd. CARDINAL WISEMAN AND THE ROMAN CATHOLICS. (From the Oteerrar.) The statement that certain queries had been ad drtised to Cardinal Wiseman by • legal gentleman is, we and nd, substantially correct. The letter in question was written by Mr. Charles Pearson, late M.P. for Lambeth, at the suggestion of certain members of the bar, wiles' ob ject was to found • prosecution ftr • misdemeanour upon the admissions which it was expected the cardinal would maks. It is unnecessary to say, that to this formal demand to !tarnish evidence that would criminate kum,slf, no answer was returned. In connexion with this subject we may state, that on the ; publication of Lord John Russell's manifesto, in which he announced that the law officers of the crown would look into the law of the question, to ascertain whether there was any ground for • prosecution, the cardinal at once gave les:ructions to a legal gentleman of eminence to take the necessary measures for tie d. fence. Some time having Lapsed without any movement on the part of the law officers of the crown, the cardinal's legal • viaer addressed a letter to them, inquiring whether any legal proceedings I were contemplated, and, if so, what form tile proeecuuon would assume. Alter same delay, a reply was received from the uoveroment, stating that it was not their intention to institute env legal proceedings, the law Ia its present state not being applicable to the act of the cardinal, and that the question would be reserved for legislative consiueration. We undenteni that a large piece of ground hes been obtained by the It man catholic body in the line of the new Erect now in canna of formation between the Houses of Parliament and Pimlioo, fur the purpose of erecting a nifg. Mficent cathedral, to called th. Patrick's. Victorinstreet, as the new street has been anent it, will run through the lowest and most debacle populated parts of Westminster; the bows are to be palatial in character, and the new open ing, wade supplying residences fit bur members of either branch of the legial , will be the mean. of affording a more direct and commodious means of mesa between Buck ingham Palace, the aria tocratic district of Belgravia, mad the Hoboes of Parliament, and will tend very far terially to improve the ventilation and drainage of that quarter of the town. The Cathedral er' 8:. Petrick will be the metropolitan church of the cardinal, and will, when complutet, it a said, surpass soy bubding of the kind yet uralettaken in this country. The purchase of the ground has not yet been concluded, but all the nectemry engagements are almost completed, end • very large sum his been already obtained in suiveriations and cionatione. The rumour that the Very Rev. Doctor Cox, president of Old Hall College, is to bs, the new Roman Catholic lints? of Southwark, is premature. It is not intended at pre-ant to appoint sae bishop of Southwark, as there is a large debt, exceeding 3,0001., still due upon S. On rge's Church, which in consequence remains yet unconsecrated aid unfinished, and until this debt is Iquidated the ecclesiastical 'Alain of the district will be managed by Cardinal Wiseman, assisted by the it.,. DJetor Doyle, the maior clergyman of St Worsts. In France, ye perceive, that there are plenty, In Italy some hundred and tweuty, but in Opus one thuueand and three"? (Great laughter.) For the lust of blood is fully as becoming in a priest es the trophies of profl•gacy. No septum sate :roue these bell hounds; no shelter twin the Sonia Herman dad but en the grave ; and even thither the ghouls of the holy office followed up their carrion•hunt ; dis , oterred the deed, gibetted the reeking carcase, and rioted in cadaverous prophanations.

And is not the same reign of terror restored in every remote corner, as well IS in the n.etropoli of central Italy, doomed again to be the prey of peculation, the patrimony of Peter and persecution The father proceeded to describe as an eye-witness the aspect of matters in the head-quarters, or "horse guards," of this sanguinary militia when the Romans broke into its long impenetrable enclosure, and removed the superincumbent tons of rubbish which even the French in 1708 had not disturbed. lie detailed the evidences which the demolition of thick walls brought to light, the murderous traps fur privre executions, the immured skeletons, the demo wells where quicklime bad not entirely caleina'ed the ossuary remains, the mural inscriptions still dimly legible in the dungeon cells, and all the sad sugges tive appearances which in presence of a body of citizens arid a notary public (Caggioti, who hoe been since rotting in gaol for the performance of a simple ministerial office), have been given to the public, and bane all attempts at explanation on the part of the hirelings who have lied through thick and thin to peiliate these atrocities. The recent hook of Achiili, " Dealings with the Inquisition," is equally circum stantial on these points : in Home to controvert them would be simply ridiculous. Kindling with the subject: the orators brought before his auditory vivid and striking delineations of the fourteen methods of torture in practical use, and forming the orthodox machinery for extorting avowals. The vigour and fervour of his sketches were powerfully impressive, especially when he conjured up the image of the crucified Saviour presiding over these Satanic scenes—the lighted candles, the chalice of redemption, the emblems of God's ineffable love for fallen man, dragged down as monstrous accomplices of there blasphemous doings. He thence launched into adescrip tion of the marriage festival of Charles of Spain and Louise of Orleans, when torches lit up the nuptial feetivity with • heretic holocaust at Madrid, and painted devils on San Benito cape, fire and faggot, friars and flunkeys, the shouts of a maddened mob and the roar of artillery, announced that the church had blessed the bed by which a race of sanguinary idiots was to be perpetuated. And these wretches went to Mexico to put down the human immolations offered up to the idols of Montezuma! and this " catholic majesty felt commissioned to communicate such Christianity to South America! Well might the untutored aborigines hesitate to exchange their national system of slaughter in honour of their own grim deities for such a preposterous propitiation to the " Lamb of God" slain once and for ever to redeem acd regenerate mankind. Why do I dwell on this hackneyed and exbaus•ed topic ? What practical bearing has the record of these bygone enor mities on your position and mine? Why do I enlist your wilting attention to what would else seem a thrice-told tali ? Oh, you understand me well! 'twee preposterous for Spain to introduce the creed of Jesus into South America in such a fashion, bat is it the less so to thrust the Popedom apes Italy, which has spewed it out of her mouth ?—to intrude with forcible and felon pertinacity oa the domestic hearth of an independent coun , ry, and invest a clerical bailiff with the masterdom of our household: to associate religion with such offensive and degrading usurpation, and involve the one in the unutterable loathing telt for the other. Have you not hopes in your bosoms incempatibie in their realisation wi:h the presence of a mitred king is the heart of our once glorious peninsula? Have not I an apostleship in the vista of futurity?

Yes, Spain might as well hope to enthral once more the free republics of South America as any European despot to keep quiet possession of a laud that long trodden down has risen with a sudden emindelee effort, and grasped for an hoar of eatery the fruition of freedom. (Cheers.) The principle of the inquisition is exploded and abhorred, true; but the present combination of what are celled powers in southern Europe is but a vile inquisitorial confederacy to force and fetter the frielinp of men who will not be dragooned or tenured into acquiescence of slavery. (Cheers.) Visons and the Vatican may interchange civilities; Pilate and Herod, hitherto at variance, may shake hands over the immolation of Italy, but the hour of h e r resurrection has yet to come, and the foreign soldiers who now guard her sepulchre, bleated by the effulgence of her recuperated glory will be scs , tered at the uprising of her independence— (chern)—tbis is an eventuality which no Austrian inquisition can eoarrol, no ;unsure of rack or thumscrew can retard, though the hoary-headed Radetski preside at the clerical council of torture, and Torquemada revisit us in the hideous form of Haynie.

ADMITTING CRIMINALS TO HAIL BEFORE TRIAL BY THI JUDOES.—It is stated that the judges have at length come to the important determination, in all casaa wherein applications are' made to them to adMit to bail persons com mitted for trial on criminal charges, to order the depositions taken by the romantic" magistrate to be produced before ' , them by the magistrate', clerk, so that they may be read as part of the proceedings. This will, it is said, be the means of preventing some of the most desperate thieves escaping from justice with the impunity the former practices encouraged. THE TRIAL OF THE SLoANts.—lt his been stated in several papers that the prosecution against Mr. and Mrs. Sloane was about to be removed by certiorari into the Queen's Bench for trial. We believe that this statement is quite erroneous. There would seem to be no valid reason for such a proceeding on the part of the amused. There is no doubt that persons accused in this sort may apply to the Court of Queen's Bench for a writ of certiorari to remove the proceedings into that court for trial—a motion which naturally is seld..m refused, and denied when sufficient grounds are produced foe grunting it. The prosecutor has the same right of applying to the Superior Court of Criminal Judicature, but must, like the prisoner, show some just and reasonable ground for removing the case from the ordi nary tribunals. The crown, of course, can always choose its own tribunal, and can try any case which the law officers originate, in any court within the jurisdiction of the sore. ' reign. But in this case the prosecution is not at all at the instance of the mown, and, therefore, the parties are left to the ordinary tribunals, unless one or other of them chooses to apply to the court above to have the case removed. The trial will, therefore, come on at the ordinary sittings of the ' Central Criminal Court, which commences Its next session on Monday week (the 3rd of February), at the Old Bailey. —Odom vet% SUICIDE OP A FEMALL—On Saturday Mr. H. Wakley, the deputy coroner, hell an inquest at the Bull Inn, Whetstone, on view of the body of Mary Hoes, aged 34, a married daughter of Mr. M3ulton, th e landlord of that house. The jury proceeded to view the body of the deceased, which presented a sickening spectacle, the head being nearly severed from the shoulders; and afterwards the evidence was proceeded with. It appeared that in consequence of some misunderstanding with her husband, the deceased had left him, and taken up her residence with her father at the 'hue tavern. She had been very low spirited end desponding of late, but made no c om pl a i n t. O n Tuesday lut, while sitting at dinner, she suddenly roes from the table and left the room. Some time having elapsed, and the doomed not returning, search was made for her in her bedroom, bat she was net there; and was subsequently found on the floor of her father's room, lying in a pool of blood, which had Bowed from a wound in her throat, of such magoltade as only to leave her head hansinc at the back of the seek, and an open rust, taken from her father's case, was lying by her side clitted with blood. A surgeon was immediately called in, who pronounced life to be quite extinct, and expressed en opinion that death mast have been almoet instantaneous. Verdict, " Temporary insanity." FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE CHINESE EXHIBITION. On Saturday ea inquiry was taken before Mr. Leathern, the deputy coroner, at St. George's Hospital, on the body of Thomas Tack, aged 23, who was killed under the following circumstances :—The deceased, with other men, were engaged at the works of the New Chinese Exhibition, at Kolghts bridge, and on Saturday afternoon commenced taking down the scaffolding, when, as is supposed, one of the putlogs not !stint properly released from the wall, and the scaffolding resting upon it, it acted as a lever on the brickwork, and tore down a mw of the wall, some 18 feet is length, by 2 feet high, which, falling upon the scaffolding, a weight of three or four toss, the whole was bleed down, with the men on it, from a height of 35 feet. Four of them were taken to the hospital, but Took died on Thursday from the injuries, and it was fouled, on a portmorrees examination, that his right ma was broken, eight ribs fractured, one of which penetrated into the lungs, and other internal injuries sustained. The immediate cause of death was raffocatlon, caused by the escape of air from the lunp. It did not seem that any one was to blame. and the jury retained • verdict of " Accidental dostb." The ethos sou ea out of FIRE AT THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. A fire broke out this afternoon at half-past two in the third story of the clock-tower of the New Houses of Parliament. At the moment of going to press the House was enveloped in smoke, and firemen were engaged in removing the burning fbor with hatchets. Three engines were also on the spot. Great excitemect exists in the neighbourhood. Westminster-bridge was crowded with spectators, and every street commanding a view of the burning building was in a similar condition. In the Ciurt of Common Pleas, Lard Chief Jastice Jervis expressed his anxiety that the business of the day should be concluded as early as pobsible. Since the above was in type, we hear that at half past three the flames, which were found to have pro ceeded from some shavirr, were extinguished, the engines are returning, and all &arm has subsided. LAW INTELLIGENCE. THIS DAY. ROLLS COURT. CAMPBELL V. MIBADOWCROPT —PLEALDINO. The Master of the Halls gave judgment in this cane, which eras heard before him an June last.

Two MEETINGS . OF AORICULTURIiiTS were held on Saturday. One was at Leicester, awl consisted of the memben of the Lriceeter Auxiliary Branch of the National Association for the Protection of British Industry, and where, among other gentlemen, were Lord Charles Moaner., the Hon. H. Wilson, H. (been, Esq., T. Ousel', Esq , C. F. Frere, Eq,R. J. Hood, E,q. The other was at Pockling ton, where some of the agriculturists of the Hut Riding of Yorkshire met "to take into consideration the depressed state of the apical:land interest, and to petition both Houses of Parliament fora redress of those grievances under which hey are at present suffering." At this last Mr. R. Denison was in the chair. and the speech of the evening was that of Mr. Ferrand. The Hon. A. Duncombe, can ale.) pre lent. The speeches and resolutions were of the usual cha racter. ANOTHER STORY OF THE DETECTIVE POLICE.— Some time since a quantity of planks and iron was placed across the rails of the London and North Western lies neer the Cheddington station. Fortunately, however, the mali cious intention of the party was frustrated by • timely dins - overy of the plot, sod the obstructions were removed he , ore a train came up. The usual steps were tak•-n to di.cover the perpretrators of the inhuman act but without effect; as, however, strong suspicions were entertained that the individuals resided in the neighbourhood and might make soother attempt, the authorities resolved not to let the matter pass by with impunity ; accordingly other means were employed which eventually proved successful. Some week, ago an itinerant vendor of matches and other small ware appeared in the neighbourhood of Cbeddington station, and took up his abode at lvinghoe ; no suspicions were attached to the new corner, and he plied his humble calling, which he facetiously dignified with the title of "timber en , reheat," without molestation. By degrees he elated all the beer houses in the neighbourhood, ti-Al his acquaintance with the class of perser a who frequented them became rather on an extensive scale. Being of a sociable and communicative tutu he became a general favourite at taproom carousals. In this way matters continued for some weeks, when one morning the tranquillity of the locality was somewhat dieurbed by the apprehension of two men named Prior and Newns ou a charge of having placed the obstructions mentioned above 04 the London and North Wistaria Railway with a malicious intent. They were taken before the magistrates, and, to their astonishment, found in the person of their accuser the venerable " rattchnsan " transformed into a London detective. The officer it appears had performed his part remarkably well. Oa all suitable occasions he contrived to introduce some topic about the railway, and during the omthersatioas allusion was generally made to the late attempt at Caeddington ; by great tact and perseverance, to be found only amongst the class to which he belonged, he managed to collect • mass of "little facts and corrobora tions," and having completed the chain of evidence to the proper point, had the men named above taken into custody. The hearing was adjourned until Monday last, when the prisoners were again taken before the magistrates at ',alba, and committed for trial at the next Buckingham shire quarter sessions.—Peitrotal Timer. BRITISH HOPS.—The revenue authorities having received an application from the exporters of hops, re questing that the article may in future be packed in wooden or tin package'', instead of painted canvas or tarpaulin, and that hops so packed on their premises, in the presence of an officer of the inland revenue, may not be subjected to the went esaniisation by the outward officers of the customs deportment, upon the shipment thereof, for the excise draw back ; and the authorities having also received and considered a communication from the commissioners of inland revenue upon the subject, and the order of the lords of the Unwary, dated December, 1844, by which the examivation of paper to be shipped for the Excise drawback was dispensed with, under certain regulations; orders have been issued, that, when hops puked In tin or wood case', under the super intendence of an officer of inland revenue, are intended to be shipped for drawback, an application from the rat nhant in writing, countersigned by the searching officer at the station where the export vessel may be lying, be made to the appointer of the weighers, who shall thereupon direct a weigher to proceed to the premises of the merchant, at the expense of the latter, for the purpose of receiving the castorne department, unless they shall have reason to suspect packages t f a r h m o e m i r n a t ;20eninn officer .sh o to r i p disturbance t i !:d t e u o rfebexport withoutds by revenue station; :o n . s o ubl i c t ; n et t rh e t o a . o 't nay a f t tnh h d . ° further gaccompanying e the committal or intention of fraud or irregularity in the transaction. A MERMAID IN SCOTLAND.—In the hyperborean village of Shieldsig, on the western shore of Scotland, a lady appeared the other morning, whose visit is likely to throw the sea serpent into the shade. It appears that a num ber of women bad risen pretty early, as their comma is, to go for fusel to the Oascan, when the attention of one was attracted by a number of UMW* which were hovering and screaming near the church. On • further inspection she die. covered • lady sitting on the rock, with a comb and glue in her band, singing one of her madrigals in • plaintive voice, and duly pointed her out to the others, who all main tain that they saw the strange apparition. The probability is, that this mermaid was oae of the Raziay white seals, which are known to sit frequently on rocks duties night, utterring plaintive sounds ; but so superstitions are the fishers here that not a single boat has put to sea since. FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—A mooident, attended by fatal consequences, occurred on Wednesday last, at the Bwlelt Consols Mine, near Aberystwith. Two of the workmen, Morgan Hughes and David Williams, were at work in one of the levee, when the bottom sudth nly gave way, end the unfortunate men were precipitated to a depth down • shaft of 15 fathoms, • line quantity of the earth work of the aides of the level falling in upon them.

The accessions to the anti-centralisation movement are daily becoming more numerous and important. Letters have been received from the Marquis of Westmeath, Lord llowth, the Esrl of Donoghmore, Lord Olengall, and Lord Talbot de Malabide, pro- mising their attendance at the ag4regate meeting of Monday next, or their co-operation in its object,. Letters to the same effect have also been received by the permementcommittee from Mr. Sharman Craw• ford, M.P., Mr. P. Somerset Butler, M.l'., &c. The Marquis of Westmeath, writing on the subject, says : Although some circumstances relating to the exercise of the powers and authority of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in a seism not very remote, gave me a distaste to the contoin aaceef the office, so that I rejoiced when the bill was lately brought in—yet when I see by the phalanx of names which are attached to the requisition to the Lord Major is layout of its continuance w►at the uni vcr •al leaning of opi nion is, and this irrespective of the general politics of the requisitionists, I confess myself too happy at this colon of sentiment amoag Irishmen to persist obstinately in my own individual sentiments. Dublin has been too severely af fected by the Union, and Ireland in general by bad impe rial legislation, to b.: open to any censure now fir condemn ing the continuance of the system of centralisation, which I much fear is a plan matured and acted upon. I shall, there fore, upon this question il-fer to the g I wish of my countrymen, and not only attend t►e meeting, but owes the measure if it shall be proposed. Mr. Sharman Crawlord, addressing the secretaries, Messrs.

The Cork Examiner states that the Right Rev. Dr. Keane, the new Roman catholic bishop of the newly constituted diocese of Roes, will be consecrated to-morrow (Sunday) weak. The Cork Egaminer contains the following state ment with reference to the snivel in Cork harbour of the disabled American steamer Athletic: • Though the arrival of the Atlantic may appear to he owing to an accident to which alight importance ought to be attached, it is likely to prove of great advantege to this port, as illustrating the amount of skill and enterprise which even at prevent exists in Cork. About 11 o'clock on Wedges , day night a despatch was sent up to the establishment of Mears. Leaky and Be le, itfornsii g tin m that the At- Matte had coins into Queenstown with eer =whim ry dia. abled • and, at an early hour next morning, Mr. Lech; went on baited to ascertain the amount of injury done After examining the machinery, Mr. Leeky at once expressed hie readiness to undertake the neceseary repair.—the pritcipal of which was the constructive of a main shaft—and to complete all that is required to place the vi awl in the tame condition as she was before she left Liverpool, and that with the same despatch as the work could be done in any pert in the United Kingdsna! Captain West said he should consult his correspondenta in Liverpool and Glasgow Genre coming to any conclinion, but is the meantime ex pressed himself favourably towards the arrangements offered. Captain West, accompanied by the Arnetican consul, visited the foundry firm of this establishment yesterday, and went through its venous exteusive departmente. lt to a fact not generally known that this firm at present temente, facinies that would enable them not only to repair the injuries that have been done the Atlantic, but to construct a vessel t goal in power and tonnage —a vessel noel in all respects to the Atlantic herself. Messrs. Leaky and Beale wine to Queens town this morning, and, accompanied by Captain IVt at and Mr. Mitchell, the American consul, went on board the A lantic. On the receipt of advice, which we expected from Liverpool to morrow it will be known whether the necessary repairs will he effected in this pore, or whether the ship will be taken to Liverpool in cow of some large steamer. le is an incident worth mentioning, that, when the passengers were leaving the Atlantic to start by the night train for Dublin, linen the small steamer had started from the .hip's side, they gave three hear y awl unanimoutt cheers fa "Cork Hubner as a Packet Station." It is irtmeehat singular that, within the last few weeks, four American linen—namely, the Equator, the States Rights, the Jessica, and, lastly, the De Witt Clinton, have been driven back to the Irish coast, and have found in Cork a harbour of refuge and protection.

THE REMOVAL OF TILE MARBLE ARCH TO CUM BEICIAND.OATIS ti rows another property on the hands of the Woods and Forests. To the long pending question about the arch succeeds the question—what is to be done with the old gates, which it 1, most improperly to replace? Those gates were erected at the expense of thr late Mr. Henry Philip Hope u substitutes for the inconvenient, unsightly, and dangerous gate which formerly stood on the soot. It would be very ungracious to his memory not to set them up again in some other public place, as well as a lose to the park itself. Furniture of their order of excellence does sot occur at every opening of London ; and it is only because the parties who have removed the marble arch to so unsuitable a locality have the disposal of these gltes, that we think it necessary to throw out the suggestion that some ! thing better should be done with Mr. Ho , e's present to the nation than aching it as old metal.— A thenaurn. Tuß ROYAL MARINES.—Dating the fancy dress ball, held in connexion with the Royal Western Yacht Club, Lieutenant HuteLinson is reported to have made some observation to Captain Britton to the effect that his wife wait " flirting," that Captain Britton 'milted the nee of such a word in reference to his wife, and tbat the consequence war an altercation and a kicking down the assenstily.room stairs. The consequence has been a court of inquiry, and the placing of Lieutenant Hutchinten under &rust, and a Court martial is to be held to try the lieutenant. TEE OFFICE OP QUARTER. MASTER.-LIENERAL.--. Various rep4rts are in circulation as to this appointment, but we are enabled to state that it I. not yet decided whether a - - to the late Sir J. W. Gordon will be appointed CARDINAL WISEMAN'S ANCESTORS.—The Falkirk herald says:—" Oar readers may, perhaps, be astonished to learn that this celebrated cardinal, according to current report, is a regular descendant of the Wisemana, cheese dealers, &c., in the town of S:rathaven. It is generay reported in the middle ward of Lanarstshire—with what truth we know not—that one of the Wisemans adventured as far as Cork, about the middle of the last century, to try his fortune in 'viand ; that the said Mr. Wiseman took up • cheese and a provision store in Cork ; that, by a subse quent mar ri age, he became entangled with a Roman Catholic wife; and that the mother, thinking she was ruling the fate of the boy, sent him to Spain, whence we have received Cardinal Wiseman. There can be no doubt but that Wiseman is nearly a local name, and that it is peculiar to Strathaven. blimp of the name are yet clime dealers there." PROPOSED RAILWAY ACROSS ULVERSTON SANDS. —On Wednesday last Mr. Ball, Commissioner from the Lords of the Admiralty, held a public court in the Atheoteum Room at Viverston, fur the purpose of hearing the advocate, for, and all who had any objeotions to, the above under , taking.
