Tan Prison Ministers Act is producing, as any development of the religious denominn.ional sys tem in our public establishments might be expected to produce, a plentiful crop of sectarian bitterness. Every day brings intelligence of some outbreak of ecclesiastical party feeling. The Act has given the Roman Catholic clergy a position of greet advantage, as we all know. On the present occasion, however, they seem to have departed from their habitual and prudent policy of saying little of their gains, and to be rather disposed to flaunt their trophies in the eyes of their Pro testant neighbours. In no other way caw we account for such an act as the recent attempt to make the Preston magistrates parties to the pur chap° of their altar furniture, scheduling their chalices, crucifix, and pyx ; as if they could not just as well have taken the money, and quietly bought the articles themselves. Their ostentation has naturally aroused a vigorous no-popery spirit in those whom these innovations offend. The Blackburn parochial clergy are memorializing their Bishop, complaining that to their grief and dismay the magistrates of the county have recognised the doctrine of transubstantiation, the sacrifice of the mass, the adoration of images, and other deadly errors. They say that they find themselves bound by their sacred vows to teach and preach against tenets and practices which the Legislature has sanc tioned and which the magistrates have adopted. That is so, no doubt ; but Parliament must be held to have legislated with a full knowledge of what it was doing. In thus protesting, the Protestant clergy may be only fulfilling a professional duty; but the petty obstructiveness, mean jealousies, and miserable squabbles into which English gentle men are betrayed at meetings of magistrates, when ever the new law is discussed, are much to be regretted. There was Mr. Laren, a sen sible man in a general way, seriously in quiring on Thursday last, at the meeting of Middle sex magistrates, whether the new Act had been complied with in Coldbath-fields Prison "without " danger to the national faith." And another magistrate wanted to know what guarantee they had that the Roman Catholic priests visiting the prison would not corrupt and debauch the crimi nals, and lead them into sedition. Magistrates would do much better to suppress their individual feelings and give the Act a fair trial. This is the more necessary because it has been, to a large extent, forced upon the country by circumstances. It is not the invention of phil anthropists or prison reformers. In fact it would be difficult to find its grounds and reasons in any theory of prison management. We are letting Roman Catholic priests at this moment install themselves in our prisons, take posses sion of rooms , fit up altars, and array the apparatus of their religion upon them, not because we have any great expectation of good to result either to the prisoners or to society from all this activity, but because Parliament has felt that what was already conceded to the clergy of one Church could not be refused to those of another. When Parliament passed this Act, it was not so careful to ask whether the proposed ineasuro would improve criminals and promote the general objects for which prisons are maintained, as whether it was not a necessary con sequence of something that had been done before. Even Mr. DISRAELI spoke in favour of the Bill, on the principle of religious equality. Our legislators looked out of the Bill for a reason for passing it, and it remains to be seen whe ther in thus proceeding they have not done some thing very unreasonable. When Parliament is dealing with persons in possession of their civil rights, the principle of religious equality is the only one on which it can act with justice or safety: but when it has to select means for the reformation of prisoners it would seem that some must be better than others, and that it is bound to choose the hest. It will be observed that all the diftimlties which hare hitherto attended the adoption and application of the Prison Ministers Act have arisen out of the supposed necessity of providing for ritual observances. It has been assumed, for instance, and conceded, that there can be no effective minis tration to the wants of Roman Catholic prisoners unless they are collected together in a place fur nished with an altar and the usual machinery of wor ship. The magistrates generally have done rightly in not discussing this question, which they could not examine either with propriety or profit. Accepting the Act in the spirit of the supreme Legislature, they must giro the Roman Catholic priest facili ties correepoodirvf to those granted to the Protes tant chaplain. But we are at liberty to aak whether this supposed necessity is not imaginary, and whether the State does windy in recognising any social religions celebrations, Catholic or Pro- testant, as a part of prison order. It will be remembered that when the Bill was in Par liament all the arguments in its favour were founded on the advantages which pri soners might be expected to derive from the religious instruction of those clergymen in whom they had most confidence. This was the want which the Legislature intended to supply; only, with its usual incuriousness when religious affairs are in question, it neglected to look into the significance of its acts. But the very same facts crimes committed— which show the prisoners to stand greatly in need of religions in struction, make it unlikely that they can furnish a body of true worshippers. There seems something like profanity in taking a sublime service, framed to express the feelings of a "congregation of faith " ful men,"and putting its language into the mouths of burglar', garotters, and pickpockets. It is not, however, the religions aide of the matter which we now wish to present ; we wish to ask in what relation these celebrations stand to the require ments of penal justice. Do not men who break the laws of society forfeit the right to be regarded as of any religion at all t And are not " &biota " nous," "comfortable words," masses, music, and incense, much rather religious luxuries than means of criminal reformation I To give instruction to the ignorant—that personal and individual instruction, which is always found to be most effective—is one thing ; to regale the reli gious sensibilities is another. The use of a clergyman in a gaol is to convince the prisoners that society exists by a Divine right, and that he who breaks the laws necessary for its preservation offends his Maker. This subject is one which will probably be forced upon public atten tion. It is pre-eminently one for the laity ; for the clergy, as a rule, will only look at it from the points of view of their various sects. At I present we fear we are only at the beginning of the confusion that may be expected. This very week one of our bishops went through the form of holding a confirmation in one of our gaols; and there is nothing in the Act to prevent a Wesleyan minister from collecting prisoners for a love feast. Soone.! or later society will be compelled, in its own defence, when providing for the strictly religious necessities of prisoners, to distinguish between the reproof, warning, and instruction that, duly mingled with punishment, save, and spiritual stimulants which alternately excite and lull the souL 't Coun. BALMORAL, Oct. 13, The Queen, accompanied by Priuceaa Helena, and attended by the Hon. Harriet Phipps, drove to Inver oauld yesterday.

RETURN OF HER MAJESTY TO WIN DBOll.. —Her Majesty and the junior members of the royal family ere expected to leave Balmoral on Monday, the 24th inst., and to arrive at Windsor Quills early next morning. His Excellency the Austrian Ambassador and the Countess Apponyi are expected to anise at Mandan House, from Germany, during the sewed week a the en- suing month. His Excellency Count Kielmansegge, who for so many years has been Envoy Extraordinary aid Minister Plenipotentiary for Hanover at the court of St. James's, has, we understand, relinquished that appointment on ac count of his increasing years and consequent infirm health. Count Munster is mentioned as likely to be his ZEICCOCOOT. The Marquis of Bristol has bad a relapse, and his lordshWs health occasions much anxiety to the members of his family. According to accounts from Ickworth Park, the noble lord was no better yesterday. The Marquis of Abercorn and Lady Georgians Hamilton hare arrived at Bemidaert, Staffordshire, from Ihron's Court, Ireland. The Marquis and Marchioness of Lothian will entertain a large party at Newbatthe Abbey, Delkeith, on the occasion of the marriage of Lord Schoenberg Kerr. The Marquis of Sligo has left the St. George's Hotel. The Earl mid Countess of Hardwioke and Lady Agnelli Yorke are daily expected to anive at Win)** Hall, Cambridgeshire, from Syd.ey Lodi*. near South ampton, The Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury and the Ladies Ashley have arrived at St. Gam's, Dorset, from town.

HEALTH OF TUE MARQUIS OF BRISTOL,—We Ere sorry to learn by the last accounts from Ickworth Park, fhat the Marquis of Bristol is in a critical state, haring had a relapse from his former severe illness. - - VIsIT OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNEsS PRINCE ALFRED TO FLOORS CASTLE.—His Royal Higbone Prince Alfred will arrive at Floors Castle on Tuesday next, the 18th teat., On a visit to the Duke and Duchess of ltoxhurghe. There is every probability that the Kelso nos meeting will be honoured by the presence of his royal highness on the fol. levies day, when the Roxburgbe Handicap will be run for. A very large and distinguished party has been invited to meet hie royal highness at Floors Chad.. Should the weather continue fine, the Race Stand will be well filled ; for in addition to the visitors at Floors, there will be a large and fashionable circle from Newton• Don, the seat of Mr. %Moor : a select party from The Lees, the Neat of Sir John Marjoribanks ; and another from Aocruni, the seat of Sir William Scott, Ban, M.P. As the harvest is eve' ia this district, the races will be unusually well at tended, and undoubtedly his royal highness will be warmly received. The prince will remain the guest of the Duke and Duchess of Roxburgbe until Friday or Saturday, daring which time he will doubtless &ogle on the Tweed. His royal highness is known to be a keen and expert fisher; and on one occaaion, during a visit at Floors Castle, he landed seventeen fine salmon ; while last summer, when in Norway with the Duke of Roxburgbe, he performed equally skilful feats with the rod. The Tweed is pow small, and not well stocked with fish, so that his royal highness can scarcely be expected to have very good sport, unless the Tweed should fortunately rise in the interim.—EdinturgA Courant.

PARIS, FRIDAY ETTRING. On the most vexed, if not the most interesting, question of the day, the evening Moniker publishes at the head of its leading column the following laco nic paragraph : The private telegraph announees that the Emperor of Bonin will accompany the Empress to Nice. So far the official journal a little tardily confirms the news that the Czar is really going to Nice. But I it would be too much to expect from such a source any information as to whether Napo leon 111. means to pay him a visit on French soil. The Pays, the principal evening semi-official organ, is silent on the subject. The Prance, always more adventurous than reliable, says that the Emperor will probably go to meet their Ma jesties at Lyons on Oct. 16. This news, however, is scarcely consistent with the statement made in the same breath, that their Russian Majesties will travel strictly incognito. I will undertake to say that the story that Napoleon 111. will go to Lyons is not true. I cannot, however, venture to say as much of the statement of the Tcutonnais, that it is the French Emperor's intention to go to Toulon by rail, embark there on board the Solferino, and, followed by the whole Mediterranean squadron, proceed to Nice on a visit of ceremony to the Czar. This is the latest report, and for aught I know it may be true, though it clashes with the rumour of yesterday that the relations with Russia were cool. The inauguration of the last section of the railway line from Toulon to Nice has been postponed till the 18th, in order that the Emperor of Russia may take advantage of the line without being inconvenienced by a crowd. The Pays contains an unusual number of semi-, official paragraphs, which I give seriatim : The British government has resolved officially to reoog sift the empire of Mexico. QUOIND Victoria will shortly reoeive an savoy of the Emperor IdanimiLan. Lord Clarendon's recent journey to Vienna has resulted is the reduction of the Austrian army, to which the Austrian Cabinet has oxisented, on the strength of the positive promise of Eriglend that she will induce the Italian governmeot to make a oorresponding reduction. Here is meddling with a vengeance. Can the news be true ? The Pays, speaking somewhat less confidently than yesterday about the state of affairs at Vienna, says that the news of the possible resignation of Count de Recbberg comes "afresh and by way of England." It will neither admit nor deny the truth of the rumour, which, however, it traces to the hostile attitude of the Vienna journals, such as the Botschafter and the New Free Press, which have " passed into the camp of the alarmists." It regards their demonstration as an attempt on the part of the military party to reconquer the influence it has lost. The Bourse was greatly agitated, rumours of failures coinciding with political uncertainty. The closing quotations were the lowest of the day, but they do not show any great change from yester day. Bente fell 20c. fur cash, but remains un altered for account. The Tribunal of Commerce in Paris haa just given judgment is a case of some importaoce to railway travellers.

Further details of the operations of Grant's left on the south-west of Petersburg, states that on Friday the sth corps and two divisions of the 9th corps carried the two first lines of the Confederate defences, but advancing further a gap was formed between the sth and 9th corps, through which the Confederates charged, and flanked the 9th corps, capturing 2,000 prisoners. On Saturday the Federals advanced three-quar ters of a mile, and entrenched themselves close to the south side of the railroad. The Confederates' main line of defences in Meade's front cannot easily be carried. The Confederates were found in force behind the formidable defences on the Boynton-road, over which they receive supplies by waggon. On Thursday, the 10th and 18th corps, under Birney, had crossed to the north side of the James, and advanced towards Richmond by the New market road. The 10th corps carried the New market heights and advanced two miles. They then assaulted the Laurel Hill works, but were repulsed, and withdrew to the junction of the Varian and Newmarket roads. The 10th corps lost 1,500 men, and a negro corps suffered severely. The 18th corps drove the Confederates to Chapping Bluff, which they captured after desperate fighting. On the following day the Confederates made seve ral ineffectual attempts to recapture the main position. They succeeded in retaking one redoubt near the river. A small Federal force of infantry and cavalry penetrated into the inner line of works east of Richmond, meeting no resistance. Sheridan is at Harrisonburg, preparing to drive Early from Brown's Gap. Sheridan's cavalry had visited Staunton and Wayneaborough, and de stroyed the bridges and !railroads between those places. The Richmond papers declare Sher 4 dan to be retreating. General Price, with a force estimated at 20,000, and 5,000 recruits taken in Missouri, is advancing on Rolla in three columns, the right under Shelley and Marmaduke, the left wider Cooper, and the centre under his own personal command.

He was married to • young wife, to whom he was devotedly attached, and he had two or three little children. Latterly, however, he became, it is said, involved in heavy pecuniary difficulties through some losses which he experienmd, and be was at times affected with great de. premien. No apprehensions were entertained by his friends that he was about to commit suicide, bat at the hour of midnight the report of a pistol shot was heard proceeding from the sta;le at the back of the West Ham Gas Works.

He left two letters, one addressed "to the coroner,' detailing at length the nature of the troubles, principally of a financial character, that rendered his rde intolerable to him. The other deca -1 meat was directed to his wife, to whom he wrote in • most affectionate manner.

It appears that the land steward, Mr. Wilson, was in the habit, every Wednesday, of meeting the pay clerk at Leetbeg, which is close to Booms Ferry, and within a mile and a half of Carrygart Of course, this circom• stance was commonly known. Yesterday morning (Wed need*, ) he left Ballyhiernan Cottage in his tax-eart, at 10 a.m., to perform his send weekly visit to Leetbeg. The Tollyconnal school-house is situated on the road between the two places, about three miles from the former. When approaching the schoolhouse his attention warn directed to a mound of corn sheaves close to the side of the highway, which to this locality is devoid of wall or fence of any description. As he reared the corn heap he observed some portions of it to move, which led him to scrutinise it more particularly, and he drew up his horse into a walk for the porpoise of doing so. When he ceme within 20 yards of the object referred to, two shot, were fired from out of it right into the front of his body. The shots took effect : his horse was wounded, the splaahboard of the taxoart was riddled, and Mr. Wilson himself received one shot through his right arm, another through his leg, and a third perforated the left aide of his chest, passing through the upper part of the corresponding long. After the wounded man had re. covered from the shock, be bed time to turn round and use the two amasses leave their place of coooealment, and walk leisurely up the ride of the bill, with muskets on their shoulders. At the time of the outrage persons were ding in the neighbouring fields., and the redoubt was placed noS more than 60 yards from the cottage of a man of the named Boyce, whose eon subsequently accompanied Mr. Wilson hick to his residence. Upon his arrival he was exceedingly weak and exhausted from pais and loss of blood. Dr. Murray, of Tammy, wee immediately Hot far, and extracted one of the slugs from tle calf of the leg. Several others were foiled in the taxeart. They were irregularly formed mama of lead of considerable size and weight. & special mar winger was despatched to Letterkeasy for Dr. Thorpe, who visited Mr. Wilson last night at 2 o'clock, in company with Dr. Murray. Ffe is so far doing well, and, although den. pronely wounded, is by no means in a hopeless condition.

It had been anticipated that her Majority's ship Salamis, having on board the infant Prince, in charge of the Countess de Grey and Ripon and suite, would arrive duriog Thursday after noon. Arrangements were made for the Seism's to be signalled as sOOO as she was sighted from Spurn Point; but it moo became apparent that the vessel could not be ex• petted until Friday. and this impression was later on in the day confirmed by a telegram received by the authorities in Hull, of which the following is • copy :—" Hamburg, 13th October, 3.0 pm.—Salamis, intuit Priors Oft board ; left Glockstadt yesterday afternoon ; now at Ow haven, waiting better weather. At present, north-west gale." Therefore it will probably be Saturday or &today morning before the arrival will take place.

" Very well, we will see." said the duke, cad ordering the soldier's din. Der to be brought he at down and discussed the viands with an appetite that would have done credit to a farmer. When he had finished, he sharply rebuked the ristounhed soldier, and told him he had been wall punished by the lose of his dinner.
