A M. edition of the E.cpress ie published every evening during the racing ninon, containing the resulted the day's races. le the present state of Europe and America it would seem at first sight as though the LORD MA‘..rt had on Saturday rather a difficult task to perform in abstaining from all direct allusion to unwelcome subjects. But we must do his Lord ship the justice to say he steered clear of the difficulty with considerable address. In proposing the health of the diplomatic body, the Lou, MAYOR happily described them as the agents and guardians of the peace of the world. With this pacific toast the namo of his Excellency the Ame rican Minister was, by a seasonable courtesy, very appropriately coupled. Mr. ADAIIIB officially re presents the United States, and the Lien MMus but expressed the feelings of the nation at large in assuring him that imwhere is the sympathy for his country more prompt and deep than here. " He could assure him of the entire sympathy of " the citizens of London, and he thought he might " say the whole British people." His Lordship eoncleded by giving expression to a significant hope that "the difficulties which beset that great " and free eouutry " might speedily be " entirely " eradicated from the soil." In acknowledging the toast, Mr. ADAMS made a frank, manly, sensible reply, his speech being, in fact, the speech of the evening. He defended his profession from the charges of duplicity and finesse that are com monly urged against it, claiming for the diplomatic body the character assigned to it, of being engaged Ina mission of peace. "The vocation of the diplo " cootie minister is to prevent war, and the system "of exchanging representatives amongst various " nations of the earth, has given to each, when ells " uuderstandings take place, means to prevent their " coming to a head, and it enables them, when mils " chief-makers are abroad to try to irritate the people " of one country against another, to be always at " hand to explain matters, to rectifymierepresenta " nom, and to smooth the waves of contention, " even when they threaten to break into open " violence." Such is the view the new American Minister justly takes of his position, and of the special duties it entails. His more direct reference to these duties ism decisive and as straightforward as it is satisfactory : Ws, to &swim are paw* sstsenell bet Ins slim too free, toe camases la the simonise of see opinions ; sad, for say own part, I confess that I ass so much oinbeiled with that spirit that I maid sot bri say imam come hers sad tell her Majesty's Milliners things which I do sot really mess. I aim therefore, only too sled to be able to be pliant as t►is oceesies, sad to say pul.licly that sty salmion hers is to smatinse ;bad to perpetuate thous hisorny relations which have so loon existed between t►e two eestatrie► It is any pomade t►at there may be &Menaces ef opinion betweso the people of the two malaria apes miser abject. Yen rosy sot like the eyehole of democracy which elide amongst us. We may sot like year system of aristocracy and governing by raaka Yes may thiuk we are sometimes too free is oar leasams. We, ea the contrary, may think the various forms of society is thin country too formal and stringent, Bak my Lord, these differences of opinion ma never, while the wide Atlantic flows hetweeo um, lead to mischief, end I trust simeenly that there may sever be more serious differ ences than thole I lure isdicated. This language is not only sincere and friendly, but eminently seasonable. Such a frank, seasonable, and hearty statement will be cordially welcomed by the nation at large, and cannot fail to be of service at the present inouient, when • small but active faction in this comitly are doing their utmost not only to misrepresent and degrade Ame rican diplomacy, but to create ill-feeling between the two countries A contemporary, for example, has assured the public more than once during the past week that the Federal Government is bent on picking a quarrel with this country, which in the utter absence of any kind of proof is of course only • particular way of say'ig that the writer is anxious to rouse • feeling of hostility in this country against the Federal Government, and the American people it represents. Lord PALI' murrox's reference to the American war was, like his speech, extremely brief, but ap propriate. While deprecating all official judg ments as to the causes of the war, and the impor tant questions at issue, he justly expressed the feeling of this country.. one of the "deepest aMic " tion, an affliction which no words can express," at witnessing the calamity that had befallen a kin dred and friendly nation. For the rest the noble Lord make very light work of the speechmaking part of his evening's duty. We scarcely ever re member a shorter speech from a Fist Minister on such an occasion, or one that even for its length managed to convey less. Lord I'ALNRIUITON &e -nflamed home and fore"rn r )';acs in • couple of sentences, taking in each case the most favourable view of our position. Those sentences we may, however, as well place on record. The first signalises what is unquestionably the great inci dental good likely to accrue to this country front the vast national evil of the American war:— " My Lord and gentlemen, I may also say that "we bays here peace and plenty together. " I trust that the present condition of the " country is not in-analogous to that state ; for " we have had • harvest which, generally speak " fag, has been good, and the condition of our THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 11, 1861. " revenue is altogether satisfactory ; and although " circumstances beyond our control may threaten " for a time to interfere with the full supply " of that article which is so necessary for the in " dustry—the productive industry—of the country, " yet no doubt the temporary evil will be produc " five of permanent good, and we shall find in " various quarters of the globe a sure, a certain, "and an ample supply, which will render us no " longer dependent upon one source of produc " tion for that cotton which is so necessary "to the industry and welfare of the country. " Gentlemen, when we look abroad, we see, no " doubt, in many parts of Europe circumstances " which, if not dealt with by prudence and dis " eretion, may lead to local disturbances, but I " trust they will not extend themselves to bring " us within their range." MILITARY LAW IN HUNGARY. The Vienna Gazette publishes the imperial decree of the sth, defining the crimes and offences in Hun gary which will henceforth come under military jurisdiction.

King Victor Emmanuel has arrived at Ancona, and opened the new railway, amid the enthusiastic cheering of the people. It is said that the Italian Exhibition at Florence will remain open during tho current month. CALCUTTA AND AUSTRALIAN MAILS. The Valetta and Ceylon, with the above mails, were to leave Malta at midnight on the 9th, for Marseilles and Southampton respectively. The latter vessel may be expected at Southampton about the 18th inst. The Candi* brought the mails to Suez, arriving there on the 4th. company were members of the French press, but some friends of Italy not connected with journals were specially invited, and among them M. Marie, of the Provisional Government of 1848, and M. F. de Lasteyne. M. Nigra, the Italian minister in Paris, being prevented by indisposition from ac cepting the invitation sent to him, was represented by his principal secretary, M. Donato. M. Ratazzi was conducted to his place by M. Havin, of the Sii•cle, and sat between M. Gueroult, of the Opinion Nationale, and M. Peyrat, of the Patric. The banquet was of the most recherche description, and comprised, among all the delicacies of the season, the following special plats, which you will not have found at the Lord Mayor's dinner :--Saumon h la Venitienne, turbot h l'Amiral Persano, filet de bceuf h la Milanaise, jambon kla Polonaise, petite' boucheea h la Victor Emmanuel, truffes A la Hongroiae, bonding de gibiera ti la Garibaldi, and perdreaux h l'Alliance. At dessert, M. Gueroult proposed a toast to " The independence and unity of Italy," which was received with frantic applause. He spoke of Victor Emmanuel as a constitutional king, who had not disdained to renovate the prestige of eight centuries by an appeal to popular suffrage—as the ally of France, who he hoped and believed would not always bar the road to Rome—(immense cheering, which lasted several minutes)—and as the enemy of Austria, who would be forced to yield Venice. M. Peyrat proposed " The health of General Garibaldi," whose prudence and moderation, of which he had only recently given a striking example, was on a par with his wondrous courage and adventurous energy. This toast was received with great apple use, in which M. Rataszi heartily joined, chinking his glass against all the stretched-out glasses within reach of him. M. Havin then proposed the health of the illus trious guest, M. Ratazzi, the president of the Italian Frliament—that expression, " Italian par liament," compendiously represented all the great things that had been done in Italy. He spoke very strongly against the temporal power, and expressed a decided opinion that the Pope's non ?outwits, could not be allowed to prevent the question from being settled. In the course of his speech he made an allusion, which some of the company seemed to think irrelevant, to M. Persigny's circular against the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and de scribed it as a second Castel fi dardo. M. Havin, pursuant to the French custom of mixing up various toasts together, added to M. Ratazzi's name those of M. Nigra and General de la Rocca (who was present), and also the memories of Manin and Cavour. M. Ratazzi (who speaks French with a strong Italian accent) said, in returning thanks, that his first thought was directed towards the Emperor, the chief of thu generous French nation, and to the gratitude which Italy owed to him and the noble French army for the blood shed in her cause. He had confidence in the union of the Latin race. The horn of the regeneration of Italy had sounded, and Europe would see how she understood her debt of gratitude. M. do la Bedollieu, of the Siele, sang an impro vised comic song, wittily referring to the Italian parliament and its president. This remarkable evening is an epoch in the pro gress of new-born liberty in France. It is the first time since the re-establishment of the Empire that such free speaking has been heard at any public meeting. The Bourse has been decidedly firm. Rente left off with a rise of 40c. for cash, and 20c. for account, at 69 and 69.75. Mobilier rose 12.50, and the Italian Loan, 15c. The Orleans Railway rose &75 ; Lyons and Southern, 6.25 each ; Western, 3.75 ; and Northern 2.50. Eastern fel! 1.28. Mirshal the Duke de Magenta left Paris last evening on a visit to the Emperor at Compi4gne. M. Billault, Minister without portfolio, has a severe attack of rheumatism, at his country seat.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. ADDITIONAL INTELLIGENCE FROM AMERICA. THE REMOVAL OF GENERAL FREMONT. THE NAVAL EXPEDITION AND THE SLAVES. NEW YORK, Om 30. On the 26th of October, the order of the Com mander-in-Chief that General Fremont should surrender his command to the officer next below him, General Hunter, accompanied by a letter of instructions to General Hunter, was sent out by the President by • special Juessenger to General Curtiss, in command at St. Louis, with directions to the latter to deliver it to General Fremont, unless he was actually in the presence of the enemy or preparing for • battle. The Secretary of War has issued the following instructions to the commander of the naval expe dition in regard to the disposition of slaves: " War Department, Oct. 14. " Sir,—ln conducting military operations within states declared by the proclamation of the President to be in a state of insurrection, you will govern yourself so far as persona held to service under the laws of such states are concerned by the principles of the letters addressed by me to Major-General Butler, on May 30 and August 8, copies of which are herewith forwarded to you. As special directions adapted to special circumstances cannot be given, much must be referred to your own discretion as commanding general of the expe dition. You will, however, in general avail your self of the services of any persons, whether fugitives from labour or not, who offer them to the national government ; you will employ such persons in such services as they may be fitted for either as ordinary employlis, or, if special circumstances seem to re quire it, in any other capacity, with such organisa tion in squads, companies, or otherwise, as you deem most beneficial to the service. This, how ever, not to mean a general arming of them fur military service. You will assure ALI loyal masters that Congress will provide just compensation to them for the loss of the services of the persons so employed. Is is believed that the course thus indicated will best secure the substantial rights of loyal masters, and the benefits to the United States of the services of all disposed to support the government, while it avoids all interference with the social systems of local institutions of every state beyond that which insurrection makes un avoidable, and which • restoration of peaceful relations to the union under the constitution will immediately remove.—Respectfully, " SIMON CAMEII.OI4, Secretary of War. " Brig.-Gen. T. W. Sherman, Commanding Expedition to the Southern Coast." GENERALS TURK AND GARIBALDI. General Turr has addressed the following letter to the Morturehia Nazionak of Turin : " TURIN, Nov. T. "Sir,—l see in your journal of to-day a paragraph which concerns myself. To avoid all equi vocal interpretation, I think it necessary to repeat the words uttered to me by Gene ral Garibaldi, and which I have reported to my colleagues and other friends : " 'I do nut think we ought to carry armed insur rection either to Venetia or to Rome. But I think it necessary that, in place of this, we should arm by every possible means, and prepare to act, on the occasion, vigorously and together towards oonqueeing the entire right of the nation. My motto is ever, Italy with Victor Emmanuel ! Let him who thinks otherwise withdraw from the committee, and act as he pleases ; but let him not avail himself of my name.'—l salute you, and remain, etc., "S. Tu ßs." THE MEXICAN EXPEDITION. The Debuts states that Rear-Admiral Jurien de la Graviere, the commander of the French portion of the Mexican expedition, hos left Paris for Toulon. La Patrie has the following : The steam line-of-battle ship isseina has received orders ma leaving Toulon to premed to Oran to take on board 500 nee of the 2nd Regiment of &maven designated to form part of the ezpsditionary corps to Mexiee. The Captain of the Mad Capital has been designated by the ➢finister of War to be attached to the staff of Rear- Admiral Juries de la Gravi4e. The Slant:mum is Dearly ready for ma, and will be able in a day or two to take ia bar new armament of 12 rifled CIPMIC4L FRANCE AND ROME. A letter from Turin of the 7th says : " After hesi tating some time, the Emperor Napoleon has refused to accept the propositions of M. Ricasoli, not be cause ho does not approve of them, but because they seem to him inopportune, and he fears that they may uselessly compromise his Influence. M. de Lavalette, while reassuring the Pontifical government, will have for his mission to seize the propitious moment to withdraw the papacy from the vicious circle of its old declarations. In not finally renouncing Ids hopes of a solution, M. Ricasoli therefore does not act from obstinacy, as some suppose ; but has very good reasons for per severing." THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. Th e Wollachiaa Me nttteur of the lit says:— " His Highness the Prince received on Sunday a deputation of the Central Commission entrusted to present to him the address relative to the union of the two legislative chambers of Jassyand Bucharest. The Prince replied as follows : " 'Gentlemon,—l receive with gratitude the wish expressed by the Central Commission for the union of the two Principalities. There can no longer exist any doubt sato the reality of this desire being shared by all the Roumans. Union has become the political religion of our country. Since my acces sion to the throne of Roumania, it has been the constant subject of all my thoughts, and the object of all my efforts. You are aware that the high suzerain court and the great guaranteeing powers, whose generous sympathies are known, are now occupied iu realising this wish of our country, which can alone consolidate the future of the Prin cipalities.'" PRUSSIA. The Prussian Monitrur publishes the long-pro jected decree concerning the modifications in the Upper Chamber. The number of representatives of landed property is reduced from 90 to 41, namely, five for each of the provinces of Prussia, Brandenburg, Pomerania, Palen, Saxony, the Rhenish Provinces; seveu fur Silesia, and four for Westphalia. POLAND. The Breslau Gazette states frost Warsaw, under the date of the 6th, that Gen. Luders has arrived at Warsaw from Odessa, and ou that day received at the chateau the chief military authorities. At that time the arrests still continued, the last being those of persona who carried banners at one of the late processions. OUTWARD BOMBAY MAIL The Moo San, from Southampton on the 27th of October, reached Alexandria at noon on the Sth instant. The Sultan, from Marseilles on the 6th, arrived at Malta on the 9th, at 7 a.m., and left at 11 a.m. for Alexandria. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nor oua olnt PAWS, SUNDAY EVENING. The Greek embassy having informed the Pays that no attempt upon the life of King Otho has been made, is now fain to say that the word "made" (commis), which it used in giving the account—which, as yet, rests upou its authority alone—was a slip of the pen ; but it still professes a belief in the accuracy of its correspondent's infor mation that on the occasion of the King's recent public entry into Athens three sub-officers of the Greek army were arrested, that their carbines were found to be loaded, and that their intention was to shoot at his Majesty. If the Dappeuthal affair was, as it seems the fashion to say, a very little one in the beginning, it has now become infinitely less. All the papers accept without question the new version of the Monifeur, contradicting its own former admission, that the French troops never crossed the frontier at all. If that be so, cadet quteatio. I accepted the Muniteur's facts, and only combated its arguments. We have, however, as yet no contradiction from Switzerland of the statement of the two Swiss com missioners who, after inquiries on the spot, reported expressly that there had been "a violation of territory." A veteran writer of republican tendencies, M. Paget Lupecin, has just fallen a victim to the capricious administration of the harsh laws to which the press is subject. He lately published a pamphlet entitled " L'Ennemi ! L'Ennemi !" the "enemy" alluded to being the clergy and the catholic party, to whom alone be considered it to be owing that the principles of 'B9, proclaimed at the head of the constitution, were not yet com pletely developed. Three months ago he would have been accepted by the government as a valuable auxiliary against the Bishops of Orleans and Poitiers. But, unfortunately for the writer, his work appeared just at the time when a reaction set in at Compiegne, and he is now foinid guilty of "'mattock upon the catholic religion, and exciting citizens to hatred and contempt of each other." It was brought up against him that more than ten years ago he was twice condemned for press offences in the time of Louis Napoleon's presidency of the Republic. The judges passed upon him the very cruel sentence of two years' imprisonment and 4,000 fr. tine. The printer, not being an old offender, got off with a month. It is curious enough that the above judgment should be published on the same day with the Minister of Public Worship's severe jobation to the Bishop of Nimes, which I am apt to think will gall the clergy far more than M. Lupeciu'a book. M. Roulaud treats Mgr. Plantier as a very naughty boy indeed. lie publicly upbraids him for brawling and bad manners, and begs him not to pester the ministry with any more of his political and religious letters, full of "violence and insinuations." This letter is a warning which many other bishops will not fail to lay to heart. The Pays announces that the youthful Prince Leopold of England is going to pay a visit to the Emperor at Compiegne ; this seems very unlikely news, the prince having gone to Cannes fur the benefit of his health, and the weather in the north of France being now inclement and disagreeable. The news that Garibaldi had been elected grand master of the Italian freemasons was contradicted by an Italian journal, which asserted that M. La Farina was chosen ; but now the Italic of Turin publishes a communication rfroni the grand ledge of Italy, stating that the choice of the craft has fallen upon M.

The Prcsse, referring to the recent somewhat scandalous acquittal by a court-martial of the riotous carabineera of Versailles, expresses an opinion that troops when off duty should Hot be allowed to carry arms, and that in caae of collisions with citizens in the street they ought, in obedience to the principle of " equality," to be tried by the civil power. _ The Opinion Nationale, Presae, and Siege pub lish in four leading columns identical reports of the Ratazzi banquet, which they represent as a highly important demonstration.

BAIKIE.—ANOTHER DAHOMEY MASSACRE. LIVERPOOL, Scruansv. The Royal Mail steam ship Eth;ope, with the above mails, arrived here this afternoon, after a very rapid passage from the Weet Coast. She brings 1,400 ounces gold dust, a full cargo of palm oil, ivory, /cc., and 31 passengers. Her dates are —Benin, Sept. 24 ; Fernando Po, Oct 4 ; Came roon'', 2 ; Old Calabar, Eef , t a . r 7 ; Brass, Nun River and Bonny, Oct. 7 ; 10 ; Avers, 12 ; , Cape Coast Castle, 14 ; Cape alma*, 17 ; Sierra Leone, 21 ; Bathurst, 25 ; Tenerife, 30 ; and Madeira, Nov. 1. By this arrival we are placed in possession of news of the long lost African explorer, Dr. Baikie, regarding whose fate there has been so much speculation. It will be remembered that Dr. Baikie was attached for some time to the Niger expedition, and the last heard from him—until the present time—was upwards of two years ago. Since than the fate of himself and his assistant was a mystery, bat it was generally believed that he had either perished from the sickness and fatigue incident on his explorations, or that he had fallen a victim to some of the savage tribes of the country. We are, however, glad to say that the adventurous explorer and his assistant have at last been dis covered alive and well, after a residence of two years amongst the natives, during which time they were without communication with Europeans. During his two years' sojourn among the natives the doctor enjoyed tolerable good health, and had likewise made some interest ing researches in connexion with the exploration of the Niger. The last advices left Dr. Baikie at the confluence of the river. The exploring steamer Sunbeam, and the other vessels engaged in the ex pedition, had returned to the mouth of the Niger, after having been up to the confluence. Her Ma jesty's ship Espoir accompanied the vessels for protection, after which she railed for the Island of Ascension. Another of those diabolical massacres which is a stigma on civilisation was about to be carried into effect at Dahomey. The Cannibal King was going to have another • grand custom." This sacrifice is to celebrate the new yam season, and the prepara tions were to have been of the most complete cha racter. All the principal natives and traders at Lagos had received invitations to be present to witness the ceremony of cutting off the heads of about 2,000 human beings. From this it would appear that the protest lately made against such acts of barbarism by the British government, through the late Mr. Consul Foote, has had no effect on the King of Dahomey, and the general opinion appears to be that until "Ilia Majesty" is disposed of by summary or other means, this reign of terror will not abate. The cultivation of the country around Dahomey, down to the very sea board, was neglected, in consequence of the ob servance of the cruelties. Hunting parties had been sent out, to capture from neighbouring tribes the unhappy victims for the sacrifices. From Lagos we learn that a report was very pre valent at that place, that the ex-King Dosomu had mustered about 2,000 natives under arms, for the purpose of taking the Acting Governor of Lagos, Commander Bedingfeld, It.N., prisoner, and maasacreing the merchants. The plot, however, had exploded, and the ex-King was said to have vanished. The King (Pepple) of Bonny was still ou board his vessel, the Boyish, in the Bonny river. His sub jects were equally divided, some ready to support his being reinstated ; others, and powerful chiefs, determined to oppose him. The following declara tion had been signed by those chiefs who offer their aid i❑ again placing him on the throne : We, the undersigned chiefs, sod the people of the Bonny dominions, on behalf of ourselves, our heirs and successors, and of any chief or chiefs hereafter to be appointed, do hereby declare that we have no right, title, or claim to the revenuer, sovereignty, or government, past, present, or future of the said Bonny dominions, ■od do declare that the King William Pepple alone, and no other petson or persons whomsoever, is our rightful sovereign, and that we do not nor will accept or recognise any other person than the said King (and his rightful heirs after him) to be sove reign of the said Bonny dominions, and that the said King has the mole and exclusive right, at all times and from time to time, to receive all revenue, and to makeaod carry into effect, such good sod useful laws and regulations for the rule and management of the country, and to make treatise with any foreign powers, as he niay deem expeclieut. Loos at Bonny this 24th day of August, in the year of our Lord 1861. The following are the names of the regents and powerful chiefs who have signed their "marks" to the above document : Manilla Pepple, let regent ; Ads Allison, regent ; Sungey Allison, °limey Brown, Bonny Face Jack Wilson Pepple, Capt a i n Hart, Will Cox, King Holliday, Dublin Green, Dick Fullifur, Fine Country, Oco Jumbo, Willi a m Banago, Long John, Long Jack, Tom Quaw, Wa s h Brown, Ossaya. The people brought out by the King of Bonny from England are tired and disgusted with the expedition, and anxious to leave him. Many have already dune so. DEATH OP ONOPIPROY ST. HILAIRE. A telegram from Paris this morning informs us of the death of the celebrated French naturalist, Geoffroy St. Hilaire, eon of the famous Etienne Geoffroy St. Hilaire, who died in 1844. The deceased was born at Paris in 1803. The example and the teachings of his father inspired him even in his childhood with • taste for the natural sciences, to the study of which he devoted himself with untiring ardour and remarkable success. In 1826 he presented to the Institute • numoire upon the mammalia, and he was but 21 when elected • member of the Academy, which was then presided over by his father. He was sueoeseively Professor of Zoology at the Mown; Director of the Menagerie, Inspector-Ueneral, Councillor of the University, k.c. Among the later movements with which his name is more especially connected, was the estab. lishment of the Imperial Zoological Society of Acclimatise lion, of which he was the president. The deceased has often caused amusement, both in his owe country and out of it, by the pertinacious effort, which he made to introduce the use of horseflesh as a staple article of human food ; on more than one occasion he presided at banquets where horses 'applied the material for almost every dish. DR. CULLEN AND SIR ROBERT PEEL. The Right Rev. Dr. Cullen has addressed a letter to the Roman catholic claw of the diocese of Dublin on the subject of a COMICOOD thmtly to be made on behalf of the Catholic University, in which, after urging the necessity of supporting that establishment, " in order to preserve the liberties of catholic education, and to defeat the perfidious schemes of their enemies to undermine and destroy the faith banded down by their forefathers," he proceeds to refer to the project of the present Secretary of State (Sir Robert Peal), to establish and endow a Queen's College in that city—the principle of which is strongly de nounced by the rev. doctor. He then proceeds to as,: "Our Secretary of State, in his zeal to promote the condemnsd system, has, it is said, given amend endowments to the Queen's Collette ; and, as if anxious to increase the number of the few unhappy catholice who set at defiance the decisions of the church, he has been writing lettere to catholic gen tlemen, or otherwise communicating with them, for the put. pose of inducing them to imitate his own example by en dowing scholarships or exhibitions. I make this state. meat on the best authority ; it is open to Sir Robert Peel to contradict it, if it be not correct. We are told it is through love for the catholic. of Ireland that the zeal of the Secretary of State is so naive in this matter. I cannot adopt this view. Ido not pretend to judge Sir Ro bert's merely political opinions ; hut, in a religious point of view, I do believe that he is a most determined enemy of everything catholic. He began his career by destroying the infitienceofthe catholic. of Switzerland ; he has lately vented his anger on the catholic. of Spain, wham he formerly laboured with the zeal of an Exeter-ball enthusiast. Hie eulogies of the arch revolutionist and enemy of the church, Count 'De vour, still echo through the halls of Westminster ; and I need scarcely add that, ou every occasion, he has displayed the bitterest hostility to the venerable Pontiff who fills the chair of Peter, and to the institutions of the holy catholic church." After giving extracts from the right hon. baronet's speeches in support of these statements, the doctor, in con clusion, says, " As Sir Robert Peel has so openly and so em phatically declared his hostility to our holy religion, I need scarcely ask—will the catholic of Ireland be guided by hie counsel In affairs connected with religion and conscience! Will they allow him to take into his Lends the education of their children ?' RAILWAY CARRIAGES WARMED BY STEAM. TO TIE ID/TOl OF TEE TXPRViD. am gratified to learn that during the winter all the .prrs on the London and North Western Railway will be warmed by steam, irrespective of class. This noble example of the largest line in England is worthy of all praise, nod I hope the smaller companies will lose no time in following it. When universally carried out it will be the means of rendering a railway journey from& disagreeable duty to one of comfort and enjoyment to all classes of her Mijesty's subjects in winter weather.— I am, lac., A TRAVELLER.
