The terms of that qua lification were, "so far„ and only so far, as the law of Christ persoke"--in whey words, and virtually, cot at all.

The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Exeter, Bishopstows,Taguay. Bkhopatowe, Torepsy,Dee. 5. 84,-1 have this day had the honour of ireatifiaft lour letter to me of the 4th inst., in which you seknowledge the receipt of my hake to y.,n of the Vol alt., inclining a do cument, pope:ling to be a petition to tbeAlteen, with a itouifft that you would present it to her Majesty," Teo inform me that, "m this document contains no payer slammed to the Quaa, sad is not in the usual hem of petitions or &dames to the crown, it does not appear to you to be one which the Secretary of State could popery Icy before her Meisel," and that you " have therefore re tuned it to me." To the two reasons which made yon deem it improper to lay the document beton her Majesty, I have the honour to answer as follows: 1. To the first, by referring you to the meths which im mediately precedes the couciwting deelsrati us of what to, sad ever will be, my prayer to 04 for her Mojesty—which passage I intended, when I wrote it (and so I still under stand It) to be the pester of my petition to hot Majesty, via., "For these reasons your petitioner has found it his painful duty to withhold his signature from the address, Windt other bishops (be knows not how many) have laid beim your Majesty. Yet he ventures humbly, but confi dently, to beseech your Majesty to believe th't his dutiful atteehmeut to your august person end sacred dike is not less timer. or less ardent wan that of any of his brethren " In mime " humbly beseich," i , stead of " turiat.y pray your Majesty," no thought could be farther from my mind than that the phrase could b, onseenstraed into 'eluting bearing the shadow of disrespect. It was, in truth, dictated th'ely by 'dealing which I am son that her majesty would not disapprove—l mean reluctance to use toe word " prat " I applied to Ay earthly sovereign, in immediate jultepuntion 1 with the words of prayer to the King of kings. I should have bad the less apprehension that such an ob jectioa at this—seen if it had preetnted tool( to my mind, which it did not—could roust sgoinst the presenth'ion of my petition, because in " the document purporting to he a pen tion " from the Archbsolup of Canterbury, and lii other bishops to King James 11., there is sbniutely no 'armed DI prayer whatever, but m+ re ly a statement of the reasons foe which they, by implication, pray their Sovereign lot to deem them leaflets! than some of their brethren !Remise thty declined to do what had been done by others, but what they could not coarecientioutly do themselves. Erectly similar, I salmi% would be the document which is no a return, d to me, even if it did not contain that special prayer to which I have had the honour of inviting your at- tend*. Tose it it, that the petition of the seven bishops was not sent to the Secretary of State, but was presented t their Sovereign by themselves; tine also it is that, instead of tieing returned to them, it was made the ground of an indict. mast for • seditious libel. In these respects, I fully semi: Chet the two cases are Oct parallel. 2. To the second objection—that " this &element is not la the nasal firm of petitions or addressee to the erorn"-1 have the honour to answer, by referring you to the headier of the document, "To the Queen's most excellent Majesty, the bumble petition of Henry, Nair p of Exeter, showeib, ' —and to the eonelissioa of it, which, instead of what is, I believe. the more usual and your petitioner will ever pray, dm," substitutes fur the din. a declaration of the sr. I cid prayer which, in sobetance 1 do, and ever will, offer op to Almighty 0 41 for that sovereign, who is not loss the Ob ject of my dutiful election than of my devoted loyalty, , That her Majesty would not, on account of such a departure from the weal, and in my rice judgment, the not very decorous phiam, have rejected my petition, 1 most coni gently expeesi my entire and undoubting conviction. In condoms, as others of her Majesty's loyal subjects may be deprived of an cpportunity of laying the ex primion of their feelings, on any momentous subject, be fore their beloved envereiga, by falling into the same or other similar error, I shall be dung an net of kindness to wari:s them, if I wain them of what they mast, in that nese, expi ct, and I shall. at the s ime time, save the S:crettry of State rot only rime troeble, but als o the pain WI Ich that high tfacer cannot but feel wbehever, II is the relent inotance, consideration of delis% ditty may compel him to 'tend Innate , n her Majesty and the humblest of her subjects who may have occasion to tours her Majesty of his dutiful sod loyal devotion to her person and g vvrnineat.

The inquest on the body of Henry Orford, the rail way stoker, and inquiry into the cause of the late accident on this line, particulars of which ware detail,d in the Express of Wednesday, commenced here on Wednesday ant before Dr. But Dines, the coroner fcr this borough, and terminated this eveniog. Mr. James Palter, manager of the locomotive department on this portion of the Lindon line, produced a model e m the railway near No spot where the accident took place, and of the disc and signalling apparatus. Tb witness nave • minute account of the circumstances under which Orford, ttto deceased, came by his death, and the finding of the body Id i aids from the place where the collision occurred, wbicO was sufficiently violent to throw few laden coke-waggese off the line, as we 11 as the eosins*. It was the duty of the' policeman on duty, Richard Johns, to see that these tracks were removed off the main line before the passenger train came up; end of the pointamaa, Georg.- Wregge, to signal in such a way as to prevent any thing Cowing up the line whilst it was so blocked iip The lever at the Vauxhall ergine•houie gave him the facility, by means of • wire, of signalling on his rear something less than 300 yard., the street of which would be to muse the mu at the disc signal at that point to atop a train, supposing R eie be properly attended to by en engine driver. Tne next witness called was Richard Betterslield, the driver of the injured train. He stated that they lett Walsall at twenty minutes past 3, and travelled perfectly safe until :heir eeriest at Vauxhall Station. The first thing ne aw was a man waving his hat violently up and down, which he considered as a signal of danger, and on looking out he saw before them on the main line several loaded coke wags , no. lie immediately applied the break and reversed the engine, but finding he could do no more, he attempted to save him self by jumping off the engine. lie fell between the et 0.411 and the coke abed, a space of about 21 feet, or about 41 feet between the rails and the shed. He saw the steps of the carriages pawing above bins, and ley perfectly still to prevent them touching him. Before jumping. he looked oat for the deceased, but could not see bias. Soon alter wards he heard his engine fie into the waggons; a shock ensued; the train came to a stand still, and be got up. lie ran round the tiaia ; the first thieg be encountered being the dead body of his fireman. His brains were lying scattered around him Before paling the bridge he ..aw the signal. It indicated "ad right," and he pro needed onwards. The signal was a largo disc with holes in it, which, when all I. clear, should present its edge to the coming train; bet if there was danger, its flat surface, painted red, should be turned towards the train. About two busdred yards further up the line was another signal called the "distant" signal, which was used in pre cisely the same manner as the disc signal, and for the same purpose, only it gave more time and spate in which to bring the trains to. Was quite sure both signal. indicated all right. In croneesamination by Mr. Harding, the wit ness said it was not Wragg who waved his hat; he did not tee Wraith at all. They ran into the station at • speed of about twenty-five miles en hour. Several other witnesses were examined, including Sal vage, the policeman at the disc signal, to whom Wrenn should have, but omitted to communicate the danger entire testimony tended to , show that Wragg had been Frailty of great negligence, and the result was a verdict of "Man slaughter" apimt him. Mr. Harding, who appeared Ca hie behalf, intimated his purpose to spiffy for bail at the Cents of Queen's Bench. Tun ELECTION TOE ST.

A General Court Martial assembled on Tuesday at the Cavalry Barrack,, Exeter, to try Lieu•. Arthur Vaughan D,nnithorne Harris, 4 n Sines Own Itl y inent, so the fol lowing ciboria of unolticarake and icsabordloate conduct, to ths prejudice of good order and discipline, in the following On Thursday evening, the Earl of Cullae attended at the Mechanics' Institute and Literary Society at Leedr, and delivered a lecture to an immense audience, on the IVorks of Alexander Pope. As it is not every day that a cabinet minister delivers a lecture at • Mechanics' Welts- ties, or that an earl descends from his high estate to de honour to a poet, the world may like to know some of the particulars. We are esabled ;o give a corrected version el some of the mast interesting portions of his lecture. The noble lord commenced by detailing his reasons for selecting the poetry of Pope as his subject of the lecture; "It has seemed to me for a very long time, I should say from abut the period of my own early youth, that the cha racter and reputation of Pope, as a poet, had souk, in general cotemporsty estimation, considerably below their previous and their Iroper level. I felt ruffled at this, as en injustice to an author whom my chilohood had been aught to admire, and whom the verdict of my maturer reason approved. I lamented this, be WOO I thought that the extent of then depreciation on the one side, and of the preferences which it neersuatily produced on the other, must have a tendency to mislead the public taste, and to misdirect the powers of our rising minstrel,. I allow myself the satis faction of thinking that there are already musitest symptoms of that reacion, which, whenever real merit or ementiel truth are concerned, will always ensue upon unmerited depression. 1 remember, too, that it gave me quite a re freshing sensation to find, during my travels in the United States of America, that among some of the most literary sad cultivated portions of that great community the reverence for Pope still partook largely of the sounder origiast faith of the parent land. I fear, bowover, that there is mid enough of heresy extant smug us, to justify one, who considers him self a true worshipper, who almost bows to the claim of this dorm of Popish Intel ibility--(lauehter)—in making such efforts as may be within his power to win back any doubtful or oesitating votary to the abandoned shrine. Tile attitude, then, in which 1 appear beton you on the present occasion), is this. I Loh on myself as • counsel, self constituted it is true, but for whose sincerity tLe stemma of any tee may be considered as a sufficient guarantee ; and here, then, in the short veto which can be allowed by tete court for the boa nem of the defence, I consider myself .beued to put before you such pleas as 1 may tbiok beat calculated to get a ver dict hose you on my side of the case." He then proceeded to state his estimate of Pope : " I do not pretend to place him on the very highest pedestal of poetry, among the trw foremost of the tueetul monarchs and lawgivers of mukine. Confining ourselves to our own country, I do not, of curse, ask you to put him on a level with the universal, undisputed, miasma able supremacy of Shakspeare—nor with Milton. I fancy that some might wish to make a further reserve for the Retitle fancy of Somme, though the obsolete character of much of Ma phraseology, and the tediousness inseparable item all forms sf untamed allegory, must, I emote bend, in these days, very considerably contract the uumbe r ot has readers. Nay, I can quite allow for the preference being given to Pope's mere immediate predecessor, Dryden, whose compositions, though euuredly leas finish, d and complete, undoubtedly exhibit • more nervous vein of argumentative power, rind a greater variety of musi cal rhythm. When 1 hove mentioned these august names, 1 have mentioned all, writing in the English ] tongue, who, in my humble apprehension, can possibly be classed before l'ope. I may observe that in this estimate I appear to be confirmed by the present Commetioners of the Pete Arts, who, in selecting the poets from whine wort suejeots ler six vacant spaces in the new Palace of Westmin ster ben to be executed by living artists, named Chaucer (woo by his antiquity es well as his merits was preperly ap pointed to 1 ad the line of English bards), flask...pare, Sponsor, Milton, Dryden, and Pope." After citing at some length the vsrious opinions of Pope's writings which have been hit to es by Johnson, Wait., by Campbell, and by Byron, his lordship proceeded to refer to the popularity of the author. " There is another and more general testimony to the re potation at least, if not to the ac'ual merits of Pope, which is, the extent to which hie lints ere quoted u facet:lay maxims and illustrations of the daily incidents of life, lied the common meanings of men—quoted often probably by persons who have little knowledge or recollection where the words are to be found. lam inclined to believe that, in this respect, and it is one not to be considered slightingly, he would be found to occupy the second piece, next, of course, to the universal Shakspeare himself." Lord Carlisle next passed in review the various writings of Alexander Pope. Of his earlier productions, he observe d that they appeared lessreenarkable on account of th. it in trinsic merit than on amulet of the age at which tl-ey were indited. Window Forest, he said, was f` a cold production :•' and the odes he thought "of dect loot, inferior Clete. " "The ode, perhaps, of every species of poetical composi tion was the most alien to the genius of Pope; its character is soft, vehement, abrupt; his is composed, polished, metho dical; his haunt would not be the mountain top, or the foaming cataract, but the smooth parure, and the gilded saloon. You may prefer one bent of mind, as you would ens form of scenery ; the question with which I cow invite you to deal is, not in what wyle Pope wrooo but in the style which he chose, and for which hat nature best fitted hoe far he excelled."

Beetoo saw the placard in Lieut. Harris's room, and he describ ed it as printed in large letters on yellow paper. The question as to what was on the placard was objected to by the accused, on the ground dat it ought to be produced, and the court was cleared. (It may be stated here, once Cr all, that objectio,n to a question was followed invariably by clearing the court, and was of very frequent recurrence.) On re-opening, the President over ruled the objecuon, and the witness said from recollection he thought the words were—" I hereby proclaim Captain Hort to be • har__, arid • toward, signed Christopher A rthur Hurls." Witness said he thought it was carrying things too tar. The placard wee stuck against the wall, at the upper end of Lieut. Harris's room, • sad was conspicuous to all entering it. A question by the accused, whether similar placards had not been posted over the three towns of Ply mouth, D.vo:port, and Stonehouse, was objected to, and act permitted to be put. At four o'clock the court rose. The trial was continued on Wednesday and Tbunday, when witnesett were examined, to prove the toss against the accused; but they were ordered not to answer questions put for the Impose of bringing before the court the circam. stances out of which the quarrel between Captain Hort and Lieutinant Harris arose.

A coroner's inquest, adjourned on last Saturday, use held on Thursday at the Town The Coroner ,toted that he was svrry to tar that since last wee It another person had died. Su•suoah Smith expired at toe Infirmary on Monday night, and the jury would conme qu•ncly have to view the body. Moline. Wilson, engineer, of Lvw Moor Woties, stated that bMsell and Mr. J. W. Wright bad both examined the boiler, and bad agreed upon &joint rep,r. as to the cause of the melancholy occident. John Wright Child then read the report which was adoPted by toe court. sir. Wilson (whose statement embodies the sobstance of this ftec. report) added :—Tne ars: causo of the accident was that the boiler was much too week for the usual pres ent. upon it. The neat cause was that the stays lied been allowed to get out of order. In this instauce, there are no bottom stays. Had never before seen any waggon shaped boiler, of this Bile, without stay,. I would at once have pronounced the tidier unsafe at a working pressure of 7114. to the inch. Few resin* tenter* had such a knowledge of these things as to enable them to perceive what was riquired. The second and immediate cause was the bottom stay, which goes from aide to side, being out of re. pair, and giving way by the pressure. In the pressure gauge we found the openiog for the steam to be all but entirely closed. He should have t xpected, from the state of the en es stay, that it would have been discovered by the engine-tenter. There was a great want of attention that it was not disco vered. The aperture in the mercury 'canoe was nearly clamed, but he exonerated the eneine-tentir from any blame. The bad state of the gauge bad no doubt deceived the engine. tenter as to the real amount of pressure. DI?: Child stated that the usual mode in which engine testers tried choir stays and cotters was by a ham:List.. If, instead of using the hammer, the engine-tenter had felt the stays and cotter*, he w• uhf have discovered the imperfict one, which had caused the explosion. Hut not one engine men in 20 would have done that. Inconsequence of some enquiries as to the esfety-valve, Mr. Wilson declared, upon examination, that its action was uncertain. The coroner hers inquired whether the jury would require more evidence on the point as to whether Messrs. Finn or any person in their service had any knowledge of the boiler being in • dangerous irate previous to the time of the is. plosion, because On y had no such evidence so far, although it was currently reported that they had such knowledge. Several kirors declared that they could not be c intent to let the Wintry close without endeavouring to ascertain whether there was any truth in the report adverted to. The jury here retired for consultation, and presently re turned to say they were agreed to have the is quiry adjourned iu order to determine the point raised.
