In pursuance of their duty to the Holy Father, to their country, and to themselves, these British seslots declare their unshakeable belief in the permanence of the spiritual sovereignty of the MINIUM 01 St. PETER. But not satisfied with the felfilmsat of prophecy, they declare that "it is not "to be endured by Catholics, that the Sovereign " Pontiff should be the subject of any temporal Poten tate; and further, that the preservation of the " temporal sovereignty of the Holy Father is of " the highest importance to secure the independent ' " exercise of his supreme political power." In other words, our British Catholics cannot endure that the Holy Father should be under the pro tection of any temporal Potentate. The French occupation of Rome is a scandal to their faith. The Austrian occupation of Bologna was an outrage in their eyes. There can be no such thing as " independence" when foreign troops keep guard, and a foreign general presides over the public peace. Perhaps, then, after all we are nearer to an agreement with our "liberal and edu " sated" British Catholics than they are with Cardinal ANTONILLI. The Roman question as it is regarded in Clifford-street is not a mere question of territory and tribute; it is a question of sovereign right and dignity. The Club protests against any interference between the POPE and his rebellious children. We can only say that we should be glad to find the Holy Father left t&te•d•tr"te with the family.

Amongst the preparations now going on for the approaching war with China, there is one which is fall of sad suggestion as to some of the inevitable results, which in any case we must expect—we mean the fitting out of hospital ships for the conveyance of the sick and wounded from the scene of action to wherever it may be determined to mash- II& the permanent hospital. The drat of these vends, the Melbourne, Captain H. B. Basco, is now lying in Deptford Creek, and is being fitted out with all possible tepidity, so as to be ready to start 1111 early as possible in the new year. The ship would appear to hate been selected with great judgment, as she has every requisite for the purpose intended- She was built about ten years sines in the Clyde, under the superintendence of Sir Baldwin Walker, and wee originally intended for the Queen's service as a frigate of 32 guns, Sub sequently, however, she fell Into private hands, and is now chartered by the government with a full knowledge of her strength and capabilities. The Melbourne is a fine ship of about 1,600 tons, with auxiliary steam power (screw), and is se etroeg as wood and Iron can make her. Her commander, Captain Benson, is a men of great experience and high repu tation in the transport and hospital service, having com manded a transport at the taking of Chums, and subsequently the well known steamer Argo in the Black Sea dating nearly the whole at the Crimean war. He has irepeatedly had hundreds of sick soldiers and MAIM mate his charge, and has reoeived the highest official commendations for the man ner in which be had discharged the important duties entrusted to him. The manner in which the Melbourne is being now fitteffup as an hospital ship exhibits • marked improvement in the hospital service of the old wars, es well as on the Crimean ships, even after our first awful lesson. The whole of the gun deck, equivalent to the main deck in a line-of-battle ship, is thrown into one vast "sick bay" from stem to stern, and is fitted with about 160 berths for sick or wounded soldiers, and everything that modern experience and the most anxious solicitude could suggest is being done to render the position of the poor invalids from the moment they come on board es comfortable es possible. The berths are three feet wide by eight lest in length, and there being only one tier all through, there is ample room for the free circulation of air, both above and below them. The bottoms are of metal-craw barred, and the mattresses will be of horse hair, with *retard coverings all the beet of their kind. The baths are admir ably arranged, fore and aft, with wide pumps between each row, so se to permit free passage to the attendants to and from the bedside*. In the day time narrow tables will run slang the centre of them perigee, on which the men's meals will be placed, bat these run freely up along iron hen. and can all be completely cleared away at night time. Par Voider attention has been paid to the ventilation. Beidde s the porta with which the ship's sides are pierced, there are mach larger ones at stein and stern, and everywhere that a partition is required it is made of perforated zinc, so that the fresh air may have no obstruction. In addition to tines eye. tem of skilfully arranged tubing communicates with all the beds, and alao with the galley fire, in order that a draught may always be maintained. In the centre of the "bay, and immediately under • large skylight, is placed the Mr' I gravy, with fall appurtenance. fur the medical dispenser, and, in the owns, a table for operations. The sick or wounded soldiers who may be unable to walk on board will be gently lowered through the opening above, and placed at once in the beds with which the surgery is surrounded on every side. The supplies of medicines, and of all the other nectraries of ea hospital, wil be an the most liberal scale, end there will be a full staff of surgeons, dispense's, and orderlies to pre• melte for mud attend on the sick. The main cabin, which is wader the poop, is being fitted up fer siek or wounded officer but, except in the situation, there is no difference in the amount of comforts provided, between these bertha and . . those on the main deck watch are allotted to the men. We understand that the Melbourne and a sister ship whisk Into tallow her Immediately are to follow the men of war as closely as poseible, and oa receiving the invalids on board to proceed at owe with them to the permanent hospital. The ship being full six feet between decks under the beams, it fa expected that with the arrangements above enumerated, the passage of the poor fellows will be rendered as easy as It is possible to make it under the circumstances. In addition to the arrangements for surgical and medical treatment, there is also ample provision for a liberal dietary. On deck ovens for baking are lined up, and a large apparatus for distilling sea water. There are also a wash-house, laundry, lavatories, and water-clemste—every convenience in short that could possibly be provided on board ship, or perhaps in the best ordered hospital on shore. Let us hope that a speedy and prosperous termination to the war may prevent the capabilities of the Melbourne being to severely tested, but should the necessity unhappily arise, we feel convinced from our ye•tsrday'e inspection, for permis sion to make whioh we are indebted to the conneey of Cap tain Benson, that ehe will be found efficiently to fulfil the pu ree intended by giving oar poor wounded soldiers as euy s. possible a transit from the wane of action to the permanen t hospital.

WEDNESDAY. DEC 21. The lay gentlemen of the Pepsi permission who. In the comfortable seclusion of 18, Clifford-street, have drawn up the Declaration of the Catholic laity et Great Britain against the rights and liberties of the people of Central Italy, enjoy advantages which the great bulk of their fellow-countrymen have long reef wilfully lost. In the first place, they are able to emu a divided allegiance—to their gracious Boresgios and the British Constitution on the we hand; to the Holy Father and the Apostolic Bee en the other. Moreover, they have been taught hoe their infancy the use of what without profane ness may be called spiritual blinkers, adapted to the eyesight of the faithful in a free and heretical country. These ingenious appendsges are supposed to pre serve their wearers from shying and starting at un accustomed objects, and from looking to tae right or left of the infanitle road that runs before their noses. Hence the limited scope, and tte narrowness of certain views upon the Roman question. Were these devout laymen permitted to look around them they would be in danger of starting at the absurdity of men is the full possession of every civil and religious liberty meeting to denounce the sight of three millions of their fellow-creatures to emancipate themselves from the cures of civil and religious tyrannies, and eager to offer a vicarious homage to oppression and misrule. These select representatives of the Catholic laity of Great Britain, who MOO Aimed heaven and earth to gain their own emancipation, are now loyally and painfully anxious to rivet the fetters on fellow-Catholics who have presumed to follow the example. In virtue of the freedom which they owe to a Protestant legislature, they present to the heretical world the instructive spectacle of a body of Catholics condemning the sympathy of Protestants with the people of the Roman States. The Club in Clifford-stmt complains of the person, the character, and the acts of the Holy Father being " assailed and calumniated" by English men, who presume to consider the citizens of Bologna and Ferrara tolerable judges of their own interests and welfare. One would suppose that the .. hostile manifestations which have " been so general on the part of the Protestant pm" were altogether without an echo among the Pors's own subjects, whereas the simple fact is that the Protestant press has only recorded the words and acts of Catholics who have suffered on the spot the abominable misgovernment which it is so easy for amateurs in Clifford-street to champion v ciferously, at a secure and comfortable distance. We should be glad to see any signature to this Declaration more worthy of credit and respect than that of Massimo D'Azzctio, who, albeit reputed as good a Catholic as any layman in the diocese of Westminster, has lately protested that the nearest advisers and in struments of the Court at home are notoriously a set of * knaves who for personal profit have set religion in .` a posture of direct antagonism to the dearest feel .' loge and most cherished aspirations of a whole "people, and would rather see CHRIST'S faith " perish in the hearts of the Italians than give up " one iota of their pelf sad plunder." We are continually invited to respect the delicate _ . position of "educated and liberal Catholics" in this country, who halt between their love of liberty end their loyalty to the Head of the Church. But we want to know why the scruples of liberal and edu laged Catholics in Clifford - s tr ee t a ssem bl e d s h ou ld be preferred to the claims of liberal and educated Catholics in Italy, to whom th e Curia Rosana is somethiog niece then an imaginary grievance? Why are we to accept the subscribers to this " Declaration " in the Tablet as representatives of ..liberal and educated "Catholicism. in preference to Rtcseotr, F*aiu, PEPOLI, and D'Azecimo ? A slob of emancipated Catholics in Clifford-street pronounces the emancipation of the people of the Legations "unjustifiable," end attributes it to the " open encouragement and secret intrigue," _ . r. . the " money and arms " of certain European Govern- The Court.

Mr. BAILT, churchwarden, who sated as epokeersesi to the deputetiou, said the memorial hors 126 signatures which rinessettted an enormous amount of wealth, embraci ng those at all the bankers of the neighbourhood, end most of the principal commercial firms, and that with time the number of signatures might have been increased to ten thousand. The site chosen for the obnoxious in dicator was singularly inappropriate, for the indi cator if erected there would obstruct the traffic to the Royal Exchange, Lloyd's, and all the bankers, and in fact would block up the only open space in the City of London. It was consequently regarded is the light of an intolerable nuisance, and the inhabitants hoped the commissioners would rescind the permission they had given for its erection. Mr. Deputy HARRISON reminded the court that as at their last meeting they referred the matter to a committee, the memorial also should be referred ; at the same time he gave notice that at the next meeting of the commission he should move the revocation of the permimion previously given for the erection of the indicator. _~ then Donne of thetifscWinion which followed some re marks were made upon the conduct of the churchwardens, in questioning the power of the commission, by the summary way in which they originally interfered to prevent the erec tion of the indicator in defense cf the official permission given, and Mr. Bally explained that the Inhabitants had adopted that line of action amply because they saw no other means by which the immediate erection of the indicator could be prevented, mid not with any idea of disrespect to the commission, or of questioning their authority.
