LON DON SOS - LETY TOR THE PROTEcTION ur Yong° FENALES.—The Mutates of Woodhouse Home, Waustead, beloegiog to this society, were provided on Monday with the good old fare of roast beef arid plum pudding. A variety of recreations were furnished during the day and evening. A very handsome Christmas tree, with a hearty game of play in the dining•hall, closed the festivities of the day. Ott Tuesday. by the kindness and liberality of the Hey. Tulliv Corntliwsite. of Walthamstow, through the Rev. Alfred Seen, curate of Wannest!. the children were regaled with plum cake, oranges, apples, nuts, &c., after which the magic lantern was exhibited, with other innocent sintl/111. moats. taut night the Christmas festivities were brought to a close by a lecture on the Backwoods of America, and an explanation of the galvanic battery. Several visitors were present, and the chiklien were delighted. All of them obtained prizes, more or is valuable, of useful articles. The expenses were paid by the liberality of friends, so that the funds of the society did not in any way sutler. Tb• treasurer sent a large parcel of books fee the library, and several ladies tied gentlemen gave money and other valuable presents. It is a pleasing reflection that, while these poor girls are necessarily shot out from a free intercourse with their friends, there are those with kindly beans who strive in every possible way to administer to their enjoyment as well as to their instroFtiois. „ . CLARE-MARKET RAGGED SCHUOL.s.-011 Tuesday evening about luu of the elder girls and boys attending the above schools were regalia with a sumptuous Christmas dinner of roast beef and plum pudding, in the presence of their teachers and other friends. Justice having been done to the exoelleot fare provided. the tables were cleared and preparations made for exhibiting • magic lantern which had been kindly lent for the occasion by Mr. Baker, of Holborn. The views included the popular legendary stories of " Jack, the Giant-killer," and " Jack and the Been-stalk," and a miscellaneous collection of vMws and humorous slides, which were dawn bed by Mr. Palmer, the 'secretary of the schools.. Some songs and school-pieces were then sung by the children, and a distribution of fruit brought this inte resting gathering to a close. Captain Eugledue, the superintendent of the Peninsular and Oriental Company at Southampton, bean appointed manager of the llamas Iron Ship Building Company. He has been mealy years superintendent of the largest mail packet zomyaoy in the world, and by energy and ability has brought its vest organisation at the chief entrepot to great perfection.

TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. THE EXPEDITION AGAINST BHOOTAN. The following telegram was received yesterday at the ludia-oflioe CALCUTTA, D. 12. Fortress of Dalimkote, Bhootan, captured with slight loss of two officers and fifty men. Position described as very strong. An accidental explosion of powder caused the death of three officers and seven men. APPENDIX TO THE POPE'S ENCYCLICAL The following is an extract from the catalogue of errors appended to the encyclical bearing date the Bth inst. : 10. As the philosopher is one thing and philosophy is another, it is the right and duty of the former to submit himself to the authority of which he shrill have recognised the truth ; but philosophy neither can nor ought to submit to authority. (Letter to Archbishop Frisiny, "Gravissimas," Dec. 11, 1.962 ; to the same, " Toss libenter," Dec. 21. 1863.) 12. The decrees of the Apostolic See, and of the Roman congregations fetter the free progress of science. (Id., ibid.) 13. The method and principles by which the old seholarstie doctors cultivated theology are no longer suitable to the , fierords of this age and the progress of science. (Id. "Tess norm.," Dec. 21, 1863.) 15. Every man I. free to embrace and profess the religion be shall believe true, guided by the light of reason. (Apoet. Lot. " Multiplier inter," Jane 10, 1851 ; AU. "Maxims," June 9,1862.) 16. Men who have embraoed any religion may find and obtain eternal salvation. (Rocyc. " pluribua," Nov. 9, 1846 ; All. " Übi peimum," Dec. 17, 1817 ; Racy °. "Sin. (plan quadain," Much 17,1856.) 17. At lout the eternal salvation may be hoped for of all who have never beers in the true church of Christ. (All. "Signiori gnedam," Dec. 9, 1854 ; Eoeye. " Quanto ooafi ciarour meows," August 17. 1663) 18. Proterautiarn u nothing more than another form of the same true religion in which it is possible to be equally pleasing to God as in the catholic church. (Encyc. " Ne otitis et vobiscum," Dec. 6, 1849.) 19. The church is not a true, perfect, and entirely free emaciation ; she does not rest upon the peculiar and per petual rights conferred upon her by her Divine Founder, but it appertains to the civil power to define what are the rights and limits within which the church may exercise authority. (All. " Siogulari go:Warn," Dec. 9, 1854 ; " Multi, gravi boa," Dec. 17, 1860 ; " Maxima quidem," June, 1362.) 23. The church has not the power of availing herself of force, or any direct or indirect temporal power. (Let. Apost. "Ad Apoetolicss," Aug. 22, 1a51.) 25. In addition to the authority inherent in the apiece. pate, further temporal power is granted to it by the civil power, either expressly or t►citly ; but on that account also revocable by the civil power, whenever it pleases. (Let. Apoet. "Ad Apostolicas," Aug. 2'2, 1851.) 26. The church has not tie natural and legitimate right of acquisition and possession. (" Nunquam," Dec. 18, 1836; Encyc. "Ineredibili," Sept. 17, 1863.) 27. The ministers of the church and the Roman pontiff ought to be absolutely excluded from all charge and do minim over temporal affairs. (Allot. Malin& quidem," June 9, 1862.) 30. The immunity of the church and of ecclesiastical per sons derives its origin from civil law. (Let. Apost. " Mul- Splices inter," June 10, 1851.) 31. Eaclesiutical jurisdiction for temporal lawsuits, whether civil or criminal, of the clergy should be abolished, even without the consent and against the desire of the Holy See. (All. " Acerbissimum," Sept. 27, 1852; Id. "Nun• quom fore," Dec. 15, 1856.) 43. The lay power has the authority to destroy, declare, and render null solemn conventions or concordats, relating to the use of rights appertaining to ecclesiastical immunity, without the consent of the priesthood, and even against its will. (Alla. " In consistoriali," Nov. 1, leso ; "Mullis gra vibrugue," Dec. 17, 1860.) 44. Toe civil authority may interfere in matters regarding religion, morality, and spiritual government, whence it has control over the instructions for the guider.) of consciences issued, conformably with their missioo, by the pastors of the church. Further, it possesses full power in the matter of administering the Divine sacraments and the necessary arrangements for their reception. (All,. "In oonsistorisli," Nov. 1, 1858 ; "Maxima quidem," June 9, 1862.) 45. The entire direction cf public schools in which the youth of Christian states are educated, save au exception in the case of episcopal seminaries, may and must appertain to the civil power, and belong to it so far that no other authority shall be recognised as having any right to interfere in the discipline of the schools, the arrangement of the studies, the taking of degrees, or the choice and approval of the teachers. (Alla. "In cousistorisli," Nov. 1, 16:s1); " Quibus lectuosiasimis," Sept. 5, lisl ) 47. The most advantageous conditions of civil society squire that popular schools, open without distinction to sli chilireer of the people, and public establishments des- tined to teach young people letters and good discipline, and' to impart to them education, should be freed from all ecclesiastical authority and interfusion°, and should be fully subjected to the civil and political power for the teach ing of matters and opinions common to the times. (Let. to Archbishop Fribcrg, " Quum non sine," July 14, 1861.) 55. The church must be separated from the state, and the state from the church. (41L " Acerbissimum," Sept. :?7, 1862.) 62. The principle of non-intervention must be proclaimed and observed. (All. "Novos et ante," Sept. 27, 1860.) 63. It is allowable to withdraw from obedience to lesiti m►ta princes, and to rise in insurrection against them. (Eric "Qui plunbus," Nov. 9, 1346; All. " Qunque vestrin," Oct. 4, 1847 ; Enc. " Noscitis et nobiscum," Dec. 8, 1849 ; Let. Apost. "Cum catholica," March 25, 1860.) 67. By the law of nature the marriage tie is not indisso luble, and in many eases divorce, properly so called, may be pronounced by the civil authority. (Id. ibid. ; 111. " Ater bissinium," Sept. 27, 1852.) 74. Matrimonial or nuptial causes belong by their triton to civil jurisdiction. (Let. Apost., Aug. 22, 11851 ; All. " Atierbiesimum, Sept. 27, 1852.) N.H. Two other errors are still current upon the aboli tion of the celibacy of priests, and the preference due to the state of marriage over that of virginity. These have been refuted, the Dist in Encyc. " Qui pluribus," Nov. 9, 1846 ; the second in Let. Apost. " Multiplices inter," June 10, 1851. 75. The children of the Christian and catholic church are not "greed upon the compatibility of the temporal with the spiritual power. (Let. Apost., Aug. 22, 1852.) 76. The cessation of the temporal power upon which the apostolic see is bared would contribute to the happiness and liberty of the church. (AU. " Quibus quantisque," April 20. 18494 N.B.—Besides these errors, explicitly pointed oat, still more, and those numerous, am rebuked by the certain doctrine which all catholic' are bound to respect touching the civil government of the Sovereign Pontiff.

The intelligence of the reported fall of Savan nah reached Baltimore the 16th of December, and was telegraphed to New York in the following terms " The American has jest received • despatch from Annapolis, stating that the steamer Yaruua had just arrived from Charles ton with the news that General Sherman had cap tured Savannah, with 11,000 prisoners, after eight hours' lighting." In a second despatch from Baltimore the same day the news was repeated in the following terms : " The correspondent of the American at Anna polis telegraphs as follows : ' The steamship Va runa left Charleston bar on the 14th lust. at 8 o'clock in the morning. The report had reached there by the flag-of-trmw boat that Sherman was in possession of Savannah, after au eight hours' fight, capturing 11,000 prisoners.' " It Is urged that the Richmond papers report the capture of Fort McAllister on the 14th, and that if Savannah had then been taken, as it must have been,•in order for the news to reach Charleston so soon, it would also have been known in Richmond. The Herald, of the 17th, says, however :—" If this news is true, the event reported probably occurred on the afternoon of the 13th or morning of the -14th, for the Richmond journahr of that day'haie intelligence from Savannah to neon of the 13th, to the effect that the city had not to that time been attacked. TLe Varnna, however, may have left Charleston on the 14th, in time to reach Annapolis yesterday, so that we are inclined to believe her report." With reference to the capture of Fort WiJlister just alluded to, by which Sherman has placed him self in communication with the Federal fleet, we have the following official despatch : War Department, Washington, Friday, Dec. 16. To ]lajor•Generel Dix.—Richmond pacers of to-day state that on Wednesday General Sherman carried Fort M'Allister, oommaoding the entrance to the °seethe. River, by storm, and that the capture of this position puts Sherman in win munication with the Y►nkee fleet, and necessitate the rein forcement of Savannah. The Dispatch has the following :—" Official intelligence was received yesterday that the enemy on Friday carried Fort M'Allister by storm. The garrison of the fort con sisted of 150 men. Fort f'Allister is on the °pubes River, fifteen miles south-west of Sallalillllll, at the point where the river is crossed by the Savannah, Albany and Gulf Railroad, and about six miles from the Oesabaw Sound. The capture of this position puts Sherman in communica tion with the Yankee fleet. Without attempting any mili tary criticism, we cannot withhold the opinion that the exposing of 100 men to the assault of Sherman's whole army was a piece of extravagance that our present military resources do not seem to warr►nt." The Examio,er has the following :—" Fort ][Allister com mands the entrance to the Ogeechee River, and has pre vented the enemy heretofore from ascending the river. We believe there are other works further up the stream, which would render the navigation of the stream by the enemy extremely uncomfortable. The fall of Fort WAI. lister does not by any means involve the lose of Savannah. but will necessitate the reinforcement of the troops defend ing that city." EDWLC M. STANTON, Secretary of War. The first direct news from Sherman's army since its departure from Atlanta was contained iu the fol lowing despatches published in the New York papers of thu 15th instant. As will be seen, the Federal troops were within ten miles of Savannah on the 9th, and advancing to attack that city. The troops were in tine spirits and excellent condition. Nu opposition of any moment had been encoun tered in the march through Georgia. The army had lived on the country, and in addition had accumulated supplies of horses and cattle : WAIHVGTON. Dec. 14.

His efforts to 4pholii the reputation of the Monday Popular Concerts will continue to be unremit ting: and he may state with confidence that the forthcoming aeries will yield to none of its predecessors in the maintenance of that standard of completeness to which their high position is due. The first performance of the seventh season will be the 157th since the Monday Popular Concerts were instituted .lcbruary, ifsSio . Prom that time up to 'hr termination of last season uly, 1a64,, the Interest taken In their progress by amateurs, not, only in the capital but throughout the country, has constantly increased, which alone can account for the fact of ISO concerts, devoted exclusively to music of the highest order, being held within so unpreeedentedly brief au interval. The almost inexhaustible mine of wealth represented by the works of tne great masters renders the task of selection cons- Parativen easy, and, while dispensing with the necessity of any thing like experinsent, admits of the clement, of change being continently hail recourse to, for the purpose of varying the attractions and emit -adult the Intrinsic value of the programmes. Until the establishment of the Monday Popular Concerts, the ipilotets, quartets, trios, duets, until soil sonatas of Haydn, Moaart, beethoven, Mendeissohn. Spobr. etc., the suites sod fugues of Handel, J. S. Inch. Searlatti. and others, were only farnitar;to.a small minority of the musical public : and as it was with the professed intention of making the chamber music of re cognised masters, ancient and modern. familiar to the multitude of amateurs In this osloot.th, the instrumental department of the programmes will continue to draw its _mistes almost ex, c'usively from th em.

Attra‘ted at trot to the Monday Popular Concerts by mere curiosity, the great mixed public became by degrees con,tant visitors.

On the other hand, the conveuituce of more exclusive amateurs who prier lasts:slug to the music from reserved stalls In the area and seats in the balconies has been alike consulted. The short first season of lulu ,compsising la perfosmauces In all. brought such receipts as warranted a Arm belief in the prac ticability of establishing the concerts upon a solid and per manent basis. That of 11.19-60, during which no less than performances were given, left no farther room for doubt as to the result while the seasons of Ito , fit, ISel-62, and 1510-64 justified increased and increasing confidence. in short, the Monday Popular Concerts have taken so dim • hold on public opinion, and are regarded by amateurs of music with such unanimous favour, that the cold care of the Director is mow to provide such executive means as may sustain them at the point of efficiency to which the pubic has been accustomed from the beginning. Towards this end arrangements hare already been entered into with performers of the highest eminence, at home and abroad. At the first three concerts Herr Ludwig Straus is engaged as principal violin. Early In the season Herr Joseph Joachim will appear, the cooperation of this renowned vinliutst having been secured far a merino( performances la the spring and summer months.

Major•Geeeral John A Dis,—The following report of the great victory achieved yesterday by 3lajor•Geneal Thomas and his gallant army over the rebel forces under General Hood in front of Nashville was received this morning. One of the most surprising eircumstsocee connected with the great achievement is the small loss suffered by our troops, evincing, among other Chirp, the admirable skill and caution of General Thomas in his disposition of the battle. In our rejoicinp at the defeat of the enemy thanks are due to the Almighty for his protection to our gallant officer" and soldiers in the great conflict they have paned through. The report of General Thomas and also an un official report containing interesting &trans are wabjoioed : Headquarters, Department of the Cumberland, 18 miles from Nashville, Dec. 16. TO THE PRESIDENT OE THE UNITED STATER, HON. EDWIN M. STANTON, AID LIECTEHANT•GEDERAL U. S. L.RANT. This army thanks you for your approbation of its cooduct yesterday, sad to assure you that it is not misplaced. I have the honour to report that the enemy Lu beim pressed at all points today in his line of retreat to the Brentwood bills. Brigadier-Gene& Match, of Wilsoe's corps of cavalry, on the right, turned the enemy's left, and captured a large number of prisoners—the number not yet re ported. Major-General Schofield's corps, next on the left of cavalry, carried several hills, captured many prisoners and six pieces of artillery. Brevet-Major-General Smith, next on the left of Major-Gen. Schofield, carried the Delimit point of the enemy's line with McMillan's brigade ' of McArthur 's division, capturing sixteen pieces of artillery, two brigadier generals, and about two thousand prisoners. Brigadier-General Garrard's division, of Smith's command, next on the left of Mc A rthur's division, carried the enemy's entrenchments, capturing all the enemy on the hoe. Brigadier-General Wood's troops on Franklin pike took up the assault, capturing the enemy's sotreochnients in his re treat, captured eight piano of artillery, something over six hundred prisoners, anddrove the enemy within one mile of the Brentwood-hill Pass. Major-General Steadman, commanding detachments of the different armies of the military division of the Mississippi, most nobly supported General Wood's left, and bore a most honourable part in the operations of the day. I have ordered the pursuit to be continued in the morning at daylight, although the troops are vary much fatigued. The utmost enthusiasm prevails. I must Dot for get to report the operations of 'Brigadier General Johnson, in successfully driving the enemy, with the 00-operation of the gunboats, under Lieutenant Commander Fitch, from their batteries on the Cumberland river, below the city of Nashville; and of the income of Brigadier-General Saxton 's brigade, in covering and re-turning our right and rear. In the operations of yesterday and to-day. although I have no report of the number of prisoners captured by Johnson's sad Croxton's command, I know they have made a large number. I am also glad to be able to state that the number of prisoners captured yesterday greatly exceeds the numbe r reported by telegraph last evening. The woods, fields, and intrenchments are strewn with the enemy's small arms, abandoned in the retreat. In conclusion, I am happy to state that all this has been anted with but a very small toes to on. Our loos probably does not exceed 300, and very few killed. GEORGE H. TUOMAS, Major-General Commanding. Nashville, Tenn., Doc. 16, 9 p .m. During last night Hood withdrew his right from the river and took a position covering Hillsborough, Grannywhite, and Franklin pikes, which his. bad been carefully prepared for just this contingency. He was drives from the first line easily ; but the second was very stubbornly resisted, and at last heavily am►ultd three time before succeeding. It was carried, however, and twenty pions of artillery, 2,C00 men (including General Jackson and the remnant of his division), were takes, the many forced beck two mile*, and his army broken into two parts, one on the White pike, and the other on the Franklin, with range of Bluffs , Hills be. teams them, Steadman and Wood passing down the latter ; A. J. Smith, Schofield. and the cavalry down the former. Small arms lay as thick on the contested line as the rebels stood there. Hood can't make another such day's fight, while Thomas is in good condition to press him. Caught more waggons. Can't say number. Everybody, white and black, did splendidly. Enwin N. STANTON. Secretary of War. An immense co-operating exoedition of naval and military forces has gone from Fortress Monroe, to ►trtke at some point on the Southern coast. The naval portion is composed of most of the large vessels that have rendezvoused at Hampton Roads during the past two months, and is led by Rear- Admiral D. D. Porter. The fleet left on the 12th. On the 14th the army transports went out. Of this branch of the expedition Major-General Godfrey Weitzel has active command. General Butler also has gone with the expedition, having left Fortress Monroe with his stall on the 14th. It was expected that news of the expedition would be received iu a few days. Ample preparations, it was said, had been made for a formidable attack on the enemy. The following peace resolutions have been intro duced into the North Carolina Legislature : " Resolved,—That five commissioners be appointed by this general assembly, to act with commissioners from the other States of the Confederacy as a me dium for negotiating a peace with the United States. Resolved,—That each of the other States of the Confederacy be respectfully requested td create a similar commission, with as little delay as practi cable, and to co-operate with North Carolina in requesting of President Davis, in the name of these sovereign States, that be tender to the United States a condition for negotiating a peace through the medium of these commissioners. Resolved, — That the goveruo; make known to each of the other States of the Confederacy this action of the General Assembly of North Carolina, and endea vour to secure their co-operation. Resolved, — That whenever any five of the States shall have responded by the appointment of commissioners, the governor shall communicate the proceeding officially to President Davis, and request his prompt action upon the proposition." THE CONFEDERATE RAIDERS IN CANADA. The discharge of the St. Alban's raiders by the Montreal Court appears to bare caused great racitement in the United States, especially along the border. The New York papers of the 16th contain the following despatches from Canada, announcing tb Mt the raiders are to be re-arrested. Judge Coursors decision is strong : Quebec, Thursday, Dec. 11 The discharge of the St. Alban's raiders surprised the members of the government, and the ground of the dis charge is pronounced ridiculous. The magistrate is likely to be severely dealt with. New v have been issued by a superior court judge for the re-arrest of the raiders, and constables are in pursuit.. An efficient military force is to be sent to the border towns immediately to prevent further depredations. Montreal, Thursday, Dee. 15. The coeduet of Coursol, the magistrate, and Lamothe, the chief of police, is denounced. Lunothe is accused of complicity. A. investigation is going on by the couaciL It is thought that Lamethe will be dismimied. Toronto, Thursday, Dec. There is • profound sensation in regard to Connors deci• sioa in thecae of the r.idere. The best legal authorities pronounce it contrary to law, and it mists with general condemnation. Quebec, Dee. 15. The cabinet had a long session to-day, and it is that the mambas unanimously denounced the act of Judge Counol discharging the St. Alben's raiders. The pretence was that the Canadian Extradition Act of 1861 was not in force, because it had not been scented to by the Queen in counciL If the judge had inquired of the government be would have found that her Majesty had specially astheted to that act. as made an assertion *genet the solidity of the set of the Osesdiss legLLtate witheat [TWO PEN CE proof. It turns out that his assumption was false. The Attorney-Geueral, it is understood, advised the issue of new warrants on the same night by the judge of the Superior Court of Montreal, for the re-arrest of the raiders, come of whom have gone east to Halifax, and some west. Officers are ors their tracks, and they cannot escape if they remain in Canada. The Canadian government has no legal right to act directly, as the courts have independent joie diction. If the judges refuse to do their duty, or act cor ruptly, they may be suspended, or in some cases dismissed- It is probable Mr. Coursol will be dismissed. Parliament, which usually meets in February, will be summoned to as amble in the middle of January, when laws will be passed to meet the exigency of the great change of public feeling toward the Confederates since they have shown an inters• tion of embroiling the two countries in war. Montreal, Dee. 1:3. The Attorney-General decides that the tnagistrate'a Milton was wrong io the cue of the St. Alban's raiders, and orders their re-arrest and the money to be given up. The New York papers of the 17th contain the followiug additional despatches : Quebec, Dec. 16. Another cabinet meeting was held to-day. Parliament has been summoned to meet oo the 19th of January. SU peadiary magiitrates have been appointed on the frontier especially to take cognisance of breaches of the international laws, and they are to be aided by s strong polio force. The Jortrned de Quebec Ur-night says General Dix's procla mation is disapproved by the Washington government. Boston, Dec. 16. A private despatch from a reliable source at Montreal states that there is a perfect panic in Canada amongst rail. way managers, in anticipation of non.ietercourse with the United States, which is expected, unless the government takes prompt action to allay the excitement on the bor ders. At 1 o'clock p.m. to-day nothing was known at Mon. treal of the Confederate raiders, nor were there further de velopments in relation to the restoration of the money stolen from the St. Alban's banks. MUSIC. DER MAJESTY'S THEATRE The Christmas pantomime, The Lion and the Unicorn, of which we gave some account among the Boxing-night entertainments, wu preceded last night by a onisact operetta, called Ptioci,;oeflo, the words by Henry Farnie, the music by W. C. Levy. It was—ss a thing in• Waded to serve the purpose of a lercr sic richao, a prelude to the piece de mete/once of the evening. ought to be • lively bagatelle, a bit of buf foonery, without anything that can be called plot or story. The characters are, • showman, who exhibits Peach in the Champs Etym . :es (Mr. Rowe); • ridiculous old Marquis of the rielle soar (Mr. Homey); a dashing eons lieutenant of foot (Mr. Swift); the Marquis's daughter (Miss Susan Galtoul ; and a tc, ,, ,rote (Miss Cottrell). These personages are mixed up in • aeries of fanfold scenes, ending with the union of the gallant militaire with the Marquis's daughter. The music is in good keeping with the subject. It has no pretension to originality, but is Stunt, familiar, and agreeable. The piece was well performed, weal off with considerable spirit, and was favourably re ceived. But it would have succeeded better bad it been shorter, for it was too long aed requires much curtadroeat. dooonliog to the bills it was to begin at seven, sod the pan. tomime at eight. But the pantomime did not begin till put nine. When it coded we know not; but it must have been an hour too late to snit the views of papas and mam mas who take their juveniles to enjoy the entertainments of Christman. If any abridgment is made it might be does with advantage in the concerted music, of which there is too much, and some of it certainly would not be missed. The beet portions of the mu si c are those which may be transferred to the dam her ; a pretty ballad al • sentimental cut, " Coo, says the 'ogle dove, ' very sweetly sung by Mum Gann, and de servedly encored ; • duet, "Highborn beauty," sung by Mien Gahm and Mr. Swift ; and a dashing military song, " Hurrah for the Bombardier," sung by Mr. Swift with a chorus. AU these merit popularity, and an likely to obtain it. The orchestra, which was reduced to a skeleton, the principal performers being absent, was 000 ducted by the composer. Thou who were present did their duty zealously, and the effect was better than might have been expected. A ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP ON THE PAPACY. On Tuesday night, the Very Rey. Dr. Lila thorn., lornan catholic Lisbop of Birmingham, presided at • reunion of the lloman catholics of Wolverhampton, in the Corn Exchange. The meeting was numerously attended. Dr. LlWhores spoke at some length is opening the pro ceedirma He said they were not assembled to make speeches but to speed a social Christmas evening. To him, who had presided over them as their chief pastor for sixteen years, it was a source of great pleasure to meet the two co Moos in Wolverhampton maiimbled wider one roof. Wit a beautiful expression of union betweeu the people and their pastors. He would take a retrospect of the history of ceboliciem is Wolverbamptoo iu the past enema years. He looked beck to the time when they had their one and venerable chapel in Northetreet, which be still rejoiced to see rums vigorous and more beautiful ; sad, he might almost venture to say, better served than ever. (Applause.) Ha went back to the time when they bad the one school adjoining the chapel. In these two institutions he found what wee the whohicircle of the material exprosioa of the catholic religion and education as it at one time existed in Wolves. Imuipton.
