IT would be the height of folly to regard the successive impertinent aggressions of the Itomish court as isolated actions, having only the accidental connexion of contemporaneitv. They are calculated and combined movements; the gradual development of a premeditated attack upon the honour and tran quillity of England. They must be met and re pelkd with as much of earnest perseverance as they see made with inveterate and unintermitting hos tility. The character of the present pontiff has been admi rably delineated by FAWN': A meek man and a benevolent prince, Pius IX. was, as • pontiff, lofty even to sternness. With a soul not only devout, but mystical, he referred everything to God, and venerated his own person as standing in God's place. He thought it his duty to guard with jealousy the temporal sovereignty of the church, because he thought it essential to the safe keeping and the apostleship of the faith. • • In his heart the pontiff always came before the prince, the priest before the citizen ; in the secret struggles of his mind the pontifical and priestly Nonni, nee always outweighed the conscience of the prince and citizen. And as his conscience was a very timid one it followed that his inward conflicts were frequent, that hesitation was a matter of course, and that he often tools resolutions even about temporal affairs more from religiose intuition or ins pire than from his judgment as a man. Add that big health was weak and susceptible of nervous excitement, the dregs of his old complaint. • • • At the news of the violene, suffered by the Jesuits in Naples, and threatened In his own states, he was troubled, and his heart conceived resentment against the innovators. Afterwards he was cheered by learning that one of the rulers of the new re public of Venice was Tonimasen,whom he valued as a zealous catholic. Ile hail a tenderness towards the dynasty of Hovey, illustrious for its mints, and towards Charles Albert, who was himself most devout. • • • He had fondled the idea of making his people happy with guarded freedom in harmony with their sovereigns, of bringing both into harmony with the papal see, of a popedom presiding over the league of Italian states, of internal repose and agree ment, of civilising prosperity, and of splendour for religion. But events as they proceeded from day to day shattered his design. This picture is trneed by a dispassionate, observant, and not unfriendly hand; by a statesman who had frequent opportunities of observing Ptus IX. both in action and repose. And the outline of the Pontiffs early career, and the narrative of his acts as sove reign, in FAKINI's " History of Home," alike vouch fur the truthfulness of the sketch. The feebleness of NIAsT.II FraitErres constitution, liable in his youth to fits of epilepsy, was the solo reason why he was prevented front adopting a mili tary career, by entering the not very warlike service of the Nee. Nay, so great was his infirmity, that years elapsed after ho had assumed the ecclesiastical habit, and devoted himself to the study of theology, before he was ordained priest. Ordination was granted to him on the condition that he should say mass only in private, and with a priest assistant. As he advanced in years, his health became more con firmed, and he was promoted in the church, but his whole soul was wrapt up in his ecclesiastical func tions. Until his election he was, and was regarded as, a mere priest. Ills concessions as Pontiff to the progressive polities of the day were made on the calculation that thereby he might unite all the sovereigns and atates of Italy in subordination to the tiara. Ile shrunk not from connection with the wildest republicans so long as they professed submission to the church ; he turned against the most moderate liberals as soon as they asserted the civil and political independence of the laity. lie spoke laild words against Austria, when that power in its aggressions upon Italy refused to be checked by papal fultuinations ; lie betrayed the cause of Italy to Austria as soon as he began to fear that the German catholics might be brought by their political leanings to waver in their devotion to St. Peter's chair. The prince, the man, were dead within his bosom; he was a priest and nothing but a priest; and he shrunk from no duplicity, no violation of his word, that tended to promote his priestly Without the reckless ambition of some of his pre dectssocs or the sensual vices of others, l'ie's IX. was as d angerous an instrument of the hierarchy of which he formed a part as any of them. The priest politician is searchingly analysed by the author from whom we have already quoted. He remarks, that to apprehend the difficulties with which the constitu tional ministers of the Pon. were beset, it is Wine to reflect how all the ordinary criterions of reason, experieuee, public opinion, and utility, lose their power, whenever the sovereign, loving also Pope, conceive 4 th some temporal affair of his state has to do with the spi ritual power. When the sovereign, guardian of the faith, and guide of consciences, gives such a judgment, then any such affair is through him drawn within the sphere of tint infallible will which does not admit of influence or advice in a contrary sense. In questions of such a nature, laymen arc always and throughout impotent in dealing with eccle siastics; because thi se last are always prone to contemn human wisdom, and readily find mains to oust and proscribe it with the metaphy s ics of theology, and with the doctrines of the canons and bulls. And the priestly class has invaria bly such a mistrust of the laity as perverts their logic; so that discussion assumes the character, if not the form, of a bitter coutest. The Preuuis.lts kiln,ly publishes in its yester day's number an " Mass" decree, ordinance, proclamation, or encyclical letter, of the central evangelical council to the evangelical churches, touching the question Iwtween these church... and the " free congregations." This authoritative document (having withiu tla• church the force of law), which bean the lokiist dogmatical charac ter, and puts one I most forcibly in mind of the papal encyclical letters which COMMl'llfr with thw words, " It has pleased the !tidy Uliost awl us," twin:its with ex-cathedral approbation the proce'llings of the churches towards the free congregations ; that is, it excommunicates afresh all the members of these congregations, deny iug theta the rites of baptism, marriage, or burial in cumwerated grautul. There is a great deal of commonplace reasoning, which would alnuedhave disgraced the darkness of the middle ages, in defence of this " hene sub rit severity which priceeds from the tenderest concern foe the souls of those who are the object of it ;" awl the grand purpose of the decree no doubt is to renew and re double the real of the church, which had begun to slacken, in the holy work of the only species of persecution which the Mint. enth century can (and that hardly) tolerate. I.:14;11.h readers may he curious to know of what descrip tion of persons the " free congregations" are composed. But it is nut very easy to satisfy this curiosity. in the brief space of a newspaper letter. It must suffice here to say that those persons arc not fur the most part what we should call positive unbelievers, that they are not indifferent to religion, or, in a denying sense of the word, rationalists, but seem to base pushed to an extreme a vice which exists very prowl . neatly in by far the hugest division of the Evangelical !'hutch, itself ; that of interpreting scripture mystically and fantastically. They appear to lave grown out of the Strauss School of 1 heology, ur, 'Clam% to have very strung attini tits with that mhuol; uud would transform all mysteries into a mysterious metaphysics, greatly inure incompreheu sible than mysteries thous:lves. As for their moral conduct they have escaped reproach from their enemies on that head. so that one may assume it is of a fair average quality, and their strong attachment to the external rites of christi unity. is sufficientlj indica...l by the bitter seal of their ad versaries to deprive them of diens. We sutler Socinians, Unitarians, nay more, Swedenbor gian., awl Mornionites, to bear the Christian name, to par ticipate in Christian rites ; but these " free congregationists" are certainly not so fir removed from what is generally called " orthodoxy" as any of the sects just named. They reverence the Bible, and most of them, in a mystic sense of their own, even receive orthodox doctrines. If, however, the evangelical church merely said—" You shall have no communication, tus communion with us ; we won't baptise yon, we wolf % many you, we want bury you," such a resolution, though an exceedingly mistaken arid unwise one, might pass without notice. But tbe con clave, io the edict alluded to, go much further, and ex presaly 'my, the rites of baptism, marriage, and burial, which you may perform among yourselves, or by whomso ever performed in your behalf, have nu validity. We, the state church, with our " supreme bishop" at our head, pro claim you to be, despite these forms which you have gone through, unhaptised heathens, to be unmarried, living in adultery with those you !Al your wives, to be the parents of illegitimate offspring, of bastardy, and we deny you any other burial than that of Turks or I'sgsns. As such we denounce you to the people, and thus virtually bid all Christians to shun and to abhor you. This conduct of the evangelical church of Prussia stands in very striking contrast with that of the Lutheran church, which is not connected with the state, and with the Baptist churches, which have balms very numerous in Uermany of late years. These churches, though objecting as strenuously to the doctrines of the "free congreg itionists" as the evangeli cal., have yet thundered no anathemas at them, but acknow ledge them, in the a ide sense of the word, to be their Christian compatriots—they neither heathcnise them, nor bastardise their offspring; and are ready to interchange with them all the common good offices of social life. The Lutherans and the Baptists, however, might have aeted as the evangelical church has dune in this matter; and, by so doing, would have gained great favour from the govern ment; whereas, at present, they are exposed to much secret opposition from that same quarter. These are the deliberate conclusions of a Roman catholic who has been a minister of state at Rome and whose honest and unintermitting efforts as minis ter were devoted to the reconciliation of the pontifical authority with liberal and good government. The his tory of Rome from 1815 to 1850, by LUIGI CARLO FARINT, is a record of experiments made with great skill and entire good faith to engraft constitutional government on the institutions of the papacy ; and it is also a practical demonstration that the POPE is by character and position the irreconcileable antagonist of civil liberty and good government. It proves be yond dispute that Italy must choose between liberty and the popedom, for the two cannot exist together. But since Pius IX. sold the cause of Italy to the Austrians, and indeed before, he has been struggling to extend his authority beyond Italy, and reconquer revolted territories of the church. He is obliging the Austrians to implement their part of the unholy bargain by their aggressions upon the protestantism ens Cassel. His crusade against the ascend ancy of civil government is England dates from an earlier period. It was already pro jected when Lord MINT° was at Rome, and the astute and deceitful l'ontiff, while fawning upon that unsuspecting nobleman, was weaving nets around him, to give a show of probability on some future occasion to the assertion that everything had been done with his connivance. The division of England into Roman catholic dioceses, and the ap pointment of prelates to them, and the ostentatious soliciting of Italian subscriptions to found a .perma nent mission in London, have had less in view the organisation and extension of the Romish church in this country, than the bidding defiance to its secu lar government, and asserting authority over them. The contest now in progress is less between Romanist and Protestant than 'between the POPE and free Englishmen. The abettors of the Papal encroach ments, be they Protestants or be they Romanists, are false to their duties as Englishmen. The struggle has been none of our seeking. The emancipation of the Roman catholics from civil dis abilities in England has been repaid by the head of their church with contumely and aggression. Any weakness, any yielding on the part of the English government or people, would but invite further in sults and contraventions of our laws. Not a hair breadth can be yielded to Plus IX. and the mis proud priests who are now fighting his battles among us. Hating the clause respecting common informers--objectionable on grounds entirely apart, from the main question at issue—the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, as modified by Sir F. Turstcr.ft's amend ments, is not a whit too strong fur the occasion.

YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK RAILWAY COMPANT.—TILE MALTON AND TIIIRa[ BRANCH.—A special meeting of this company was held on Monday last, at the Be Grey Rooms, York, to consider and decide upon the steps to be taken with reference to a return made by the company to a writ of mandamus issued by the Court of Queen's Bench, requiring the company to make the Thirsk and Melton branch, and to consider the terms of any con tract previously entered into in reference thereto. There was a rather numerous body of shareholders present. The chair was token by Mr. Leeman, who proceeded to address the shareholders, and having at some length reviewed the principal events in the history of the company since 1816, he concluded by proposing the following resolution : " That the directors be authorised to enter into any con tracts which may be proposed to them by any persons for the construction of the Think and Malvin branch and its works, or in relation thereto, provided the sum to be paid by the shareholders of this company for such purpose do not exceed 50,00111„ and that they be empowered to bind this company to allot shares in the capital authorised to be raised by the Think and Mahon acts to any parties who may contribute funds beyond such iiil,oool., and to gua rantee to such shares any proportion of the profits of such line, and to issue suck shares on such other terms and conditions as may be agreed upon ; and if contracts satis factory to the directors be entered into then that the direc tors he authorised, if they think tit, to proceed with the purchase of the land fur the construction of the said line and works ; resolved that the directors be authorised to make such return, and take such other steps as they he advised with reference to the writ of mandamus issued by the Court of Queen's Bench, requiring the company to pro ceed with the Think and Mather branch."—Mr. rulleine, the deputy chairman, seconded the motion; which was carried, there being four di•sentients.—A vote of thanks was given to the chairman and directors, and the meeting concluded. A LIBERAL Bisnor.—The Westmorland Gazette states boa the Bishop of Durham has subscribed 151. toss arda au Independent chapel in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and gives the following as a copy of his lordship's letter, transmitting his donation :--" 4,L pper Portland-place,June 7.—Sir,—Al though with ample means at my disposal, I can scarcely satisfy the demands of my own church and my own people, yet I have never forgotten that all Christians are brethren, and that, however we may differ as to the meaning of Scrip ture upon some points of doctrine or discipline, very few Protestants fanto inculcate what is essential in Christianity. I am painfully aware of the spiritual dentitution of New castle, of its increasing population, and of the pains which have been taken to disseminate infidelity and socialism; I cannot, therefore, feel myself justified in resisting your appeal on behalf of a more spacious and commodious place of worship, and especially for a larger establishment of schools in the principles of revealed relgion. Towards those joint good purposes you and the congregation will be pleased to accept the invitee(' cheque.—l ant, sir, your obedient ser vant, 1.. DesEte.—Junes Wilson, Esq." TIIE QUEEN'S COLLEGES IN IRELAND.—Ott Wed nesday a bill in the House of Lords was printed to amend the several acts for the regulation of attorneys and solicitors. The object of the bill is to extend the provision of the act mentioned to students of the new colleges in Ireland, in the same manlier as to students of Oxford and Catnbridge, to facilitate their admission as attorneys and solicitors. THE hu.su CENSUS.—The Saunders News Letter has the following on this subject, and I believe (says our Dublin correspondent) the statement is made on good autho. rity The census will show an important decrease in the population ; large in a positive and largo in a relative point lit view. It will be found, we believe, that the diminution in the population rather exceeds one million and a half; and while one part of this arises from the pressure of poverty and disease on the peasantry, a larger portion has been caused, no doubt, by the desire to fly front thecountry, visited as it has been, and tried severely.' The Daily [:'sprees says : We have been just informed that a person, representing himself to be a clerk in a public department in Lublin, has voluntarily surrendered to the police in Manchester, and confessed himself to be the murderer of the mail who fell ilnwn dead in the General Voluation-office on the 9th of June. Ile said he owed the deceased a srite, and, awaiting his opportunity to be avenged, procured some oxalic acid, and having ordered two glasses of porter for himself and the doomed mon, shook the poison into the glass of his victim, who had gone to the window for a moment. Soon after the deceased, while seated at his office desk, suddenly fell down witnout sating a word, and died in a pew minutes. The bud). was to be exhumed yesterday." 13011 Y OF A ,TouiuSr FOUND AT LOCIIEARNIIEAD. —ln the month of September last, a genteel-looking young man, a stranger, and supposed to be a tourist, ahout twenty tire years of age, and apparently about 5 feet 10 inches in height, dressed iu a black frock coat and shepherd tartan trousers, was seen wending his way towards a house on the aorta side of Lochearn. A deep ravine, through which at the time rushed impetuously u swollen rivulet, had to be crossed before he could reach the domicile. The stranger never appeared at the dwelling, and it was con jectured he had gone in some other direction until lately, when the remains of a man in a sadly decayed state were found near the beach ou the south side of the loch, with part of the flesh adhering to the bones, and remnants of the black coat and tartan trousers covering the skeleton. It is now supposed that the unfortunate tourist had been at tempting to cross the rivulet—that the body had been car ried down by the atream, and in course of time drifted across the luck to the spot where the remains were ulti mately found.—Perthshire Adotrtiser. WEST WHEAL JEWEL MINING COMPAST.— Yesterday, a special meeting of the shareholders in this company took place at the offices in Ohl Broad-street, for the purpose of confirming a resolution passed at a previous meeting, authorising the directors to raise additional capi tal by the issue of 3, sl5 preference shares of 30s. each. Mr. Bowden in the chair. '1 he resolution was confirmed unani mously, and a weekly report was presented, showing that time prospects of the mine were of the most satisfactory character. MA-NCHESTER COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION. —On Friday, at a meeting of the Manchester Commercial MAO elation, at its rooms, in York-buildings, it was resolved to petition in favour of a cheap and uniform ocean postage to all parts of the world. Tbe association did not adopt the prayer of a " Penny Postage," which has been so long put up by Elihu Burritt and others; leaving the rate of postage indeterminate, and requiring only that it should be cheap and uniform. The asaociation's petition is to be placed in he hands of Mr. Brown, M.P.—Manchester Examiner. THE FLAX CROP ABROAD AND AT lion E.—The deficiency of the Russian flax crop develops itself more and more as the season advances. The Nortlwra Whig, refer ring to the subject, says: "From the circular of Mean. 11111, Brothers, of Riga, it appears the quantity of flax packed at that place up to the Ist of Jun this year was . 9,050 tons, against 19,820 tons same period of 1100, being a deficiency of more than one half. The quantity received at Riga during the mouth of May this year had not been officially published , but it was expected it would not much exceed 1,000 tuns; whereas the quantity received during the corresponding month of 114.0, was 4,820 tons. The decrease in the supplies arriving at St. Petersburg and Archangel is about in a like pro portion. This deficiency is attracting much attention, and is so great as to excite the fears of the large flax con ' miners of these countries. It is true that in Ireland we are likely to have an excellent Aid an abundant crop, there being a greater extent of ground under flax cultivation this year than has been the case for many years past, and so far the crop progresses most favourably. But although we are no alarmists, having generally found that a ' long expected famine' seldom arrives, yet we think that our spinners should not over coafitlentli rely on the crop of this country alone. They should bear in mind that their means of consumption have very materially increased within the past year; that so serious a deficiency of the Russian crop must throw the English, Scotch, and continental spinners into our markets for a portion of their supplies, and that there will be a very serious deficiency in the quantity of foreign flax imported into Ireland this year as comrared with that of lust year. The quantity of foreign Sax im ported into Ireland last year was upwards of 11,500 tons, whereas this year it is not likely to exceed 3,000 tons, if it should reach so high. The facts we have hero put forth cannot be controverted, and believing the publication of them may serve a good purpose we have considered it a duty to lay them before those who may feel an interest in the subject." DUNnow GAMMON OF BACON.—After the lapse of 100 year* this gammon of bacon has been claimed by a couple in good circumstances, as farmers, at Felsted, Essex, named Burrell, but, failing to obtain it from the lord of the manor, the inhabitants of Dunmow have procured one by subscription, which will be presented to them, instead of the lord's, on their taking the usual oaths, at Itroomhills, near Daamow, on Wednesday, the 16th of July. The couple will drive on to the pound (escorted by a band el mimic) in their own eaniage and hones. A buy numbsr of pet , Boos are eareted to 000gresete to whine, the ceremeessy. LAW INTELLIGENCE. THIS DAY. WMTECHAPEL COUNTY COURT. BM= MI6 SICIWANT M* MO. CORER L. SIR GEORCIR GRZY.-THE CENSUS. _ _ This action, tried last week, and deferred until to-day for judgment, was brought by the plaintiff to recover tonpencc for a fractional part of sixty names recorded by him in the capacity of enumerator of the census for the parish of Step ney. Mr. Phillput, of Portland-road, who appeared for the plaintiff, stated that he had made calculations, and found that the government had, by refusing to pay the enumerators for the fractional parts, illegally appropriated at least 1,0001., and that the conduct pursued towards them would lead the heads taking the next census into an awkward di lemma. Mr. Walesby, who appeared for the Home-office, ad mitted Sir George Grey's liability, and laid that Sir George felt the enumerators were entitled to the fractional parts, and would have directed it should be paid, had not the' Treasury issued an order to the contrary, believing the House of Commons would not sanction it. The whole question now rested upon the construction of the act, which, lake most acts, is so ambiguous that any coustruction may be put on it. One clause would ►ead one to assume they were entitled to the fractional parts, whilst another upsets it. Some clauses make the Home Secretary ►iable, others the registrars or parochial authorities. His honour, in giving judgment, observed that he much repattedhavins to give axertlict spina the plaintiff, as be believed he brought the action upon public and good uounds, and was fairly entitled to his demand. But the law held he was not entitled, as their was no assumpsit or pro rata agreement. Verdict for defendant accordingly. Mr. Cohen, after thanking his honour for the patience he bestowed, took out another summons against Sir George Grey for the is. 6d he had given him for conduct-money on his subpmna, and which he did not attend.
