Ts D.—ltonim Ilb. nek..........Andiales. Ilk. lam, .._ ----s_im...i... IS. ger.--.Allansaa, I►. ila. LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 17. " le, within my own premises, where I have right of property, I make changes for my own eonvenienee, or for my own satisfaction, no one can have ground for complaint, though they do not suit his taste, or he cannot see the reason for them." Such is Cardinal Wl:inures latest defence of his aggression upon pr_emises where o ther men have right of property. We accept his doctrine, and desire that it nad been possible for him to exemplify it by his practice. Or does his Eminence really believe that his practice and doctrine are identical? If se, be mast believe that the rights and liberties of all baptized English men are "his own premises, where he has right or property, and may make changes for his own con venience and eatisfaltion." We quote his words, is we find them in his lecture on Sunday last, published " by authority,' at RICHARDBON'S ; and we leave to oar retrieve—more especially our Itolllllo catholic readers—to draw the moral. Will they like to have it suggested, even by authority, that they and theirs are become the mere tenement and farm of their new cardinal? We trow not. Already the Roman catholics of England are be ginning to display that deep entwiness and distrust with which the late proceedings of t he Vatican had from the first inspired them, and which it needed all the sullen pride engendered by the scurrility so co piously heaped upon them to suppress. Even the clergy have shared in these demonstrat ions. The new Bishop of Birmingham, Dr. ULLATHOILNE — who so glibly congratulates himself and his colleagues on their being now entirely independent of laymen, clergy, and law—has found himself under the neon- I sity of interdicting, under menace of his heavy die pleasure, a clerical meeting convened in his own dio owe, for the purpose of taking into consideration the defenceless state to which the Pore's letters apostolic have reduced the clergy, and the little prospect there is of the bishops being induced to exercise in their favour the enormous legislatorial powers with which the same document has invested those prelates. The same feeling exists elsewhere. Northumberland and Lancashire are stirring painfully, with morbid symptoms of unrest la Yorkshire —we beg pardon, in the diocese of Beverley—the prima' are said to be unanimous in their disap proval of the late changes. It is tree that they will hesitate much before they venture to give a public and solemn expression to their disoontent. They know that their ruin will be sealed irretrievably by any imprudence of that kind. They are now at the absolute pleasure of a prelate, unfettered by law and amenable to none. He may dismiss them from the receipt of their stipends to downright beggary when- ever he pleases, and no man may say him nay. When he dies they are to have no voice in the selection of his successor. That will be done by the other bishops, and the clergy must submit to that. Still it is no lees true that the Roman catholic clergy of Yori . shire, as of all England, are discontented with this lot of theirs, and look, with repining eyes, upon the palmy condition of that free and constitutional priesthood which, unmolisted by pope or cardinal, existed fur ages, and will continue to exist, on the neighbouring soil of Ireland. The Roman catholic laity being lees dependent upon prelatical caprice, are more apt to receive im pressions of indignation than of alarm from peels heti encroachments. Wo are informed by an eeteassal correspondent, who signs himself " A Roman Catbird% but no Papist," that the indignation of his brethren awaits only the first lull of the protestant hurricane to find fur itself a vent. The sooner that the vent is found, we opine, the better for those whom it eon corns. The CARDINAL and his party are not Weep nor idle. Their " plan " for the administrating( the temporalities wherewith lay charity has endowed their church is already prepared, and these are said to be the heads of it—let. All trust property hitherto administered by the bishops, whether legally or other wise, shall continue so to be administered in future. 2nd. All trust property not hitherto administered by the bishops shall, it the bishops please, be adminis tered in such manner as • council of their own secular priests, appointed by and remov able at the will of the bishops, think fit to recommend. Like the precious council of adminis tntion lately bestowed upon the Roman people in lieu of their republic, these councils are to advise only, and not to enact ' • and th e bishop here, like the Sovereign there, may adopt their advice or reject it entirely at his own pleasure. 3rd. Under the same limi tations these " councils " ere to adjust all disputes, existing or occurring in each diocese, about the tem poralities of churches and chapelatclaime of incum bent', put, present, or future, breaches of charitable trusts, &c., but always so far only u the respective bishops see fit to follow, end enforce whet they re commend in such came. It is highly probable that " this our statute," se Cardinal Wiseman ambitiously styles hat " plan" of ecclesiastical tyranny over Englishmen, may find favour with his Synod of Bishop', who are to meet and consider it; bat will the laity be such fools as to accept it? Again we say, we trim not. The objects of this proposed legislation are said to be (we quote from a communication received from very high ecclesiastical authority): " let. To take all questions relative to chapels, funds, &c., out of the Queen's Courts. And 2nd. To leave them to the sole decision of the bishop ; the council being a tool in his hands when it thick' with him, and a nullity when it thinks differently." If this be not a penny- sire, what is it ? Again : " How he means tossup with the laity I know not; but the clergy will be coerced by censures and love of support till they rub- Mt, which of course will indirectly affect patrons, trustee, and congregetiaes, as they must be deprived, as at Lee House and l)oddin.green, of the means of having their trusts executed, except in accordance with the bishop's potions." Once more, we ask, if this be not a premsinire, what is it ? Awakened from the stupor into which this storm had thrown them, the Roman catholies of Ragland, both clerical and lay, are now beginning to investi gate their position, and to ask how they came thither. If they believe the " Letters Apostolical " and the " Pastoral,' the situation is of their own choosing. If they credit the more trustworthy evidence of their own petitions to the Holy See, it is not. Nothing which they petitioeed for has been granted; every thing which the bishops petitioned for, against the clergy and laity, is imposed. They asked that no bishops might be set over them unless elected by themselves. The Pots hes set bishop over then nominated by himself, and having power to perpetuate thir 111100414011 without consulting any one. They asked that all new laws for the government et the church might be considered here before they were enacted at Rome. By the new enactments =Moat Rome all their existing laws and privileges are swept away without their being (vomited, or having even an opportunity to :refry molest the injustice. They asked that the might not be removable at the plenum ef bishops, and that the °magical rights of incumbents, potions, and people, might be secured against epigoo pel invasion. The clergy are now made more re moveable than ever, and - the bishops have remind • plenary commiesioa from the Pots, to clothe their haurPotious, pest, preeset, and future, with the mine of canon law. "From these combined deeleitme exultingly proclaims the CARDINAL, in his lecture d Sunday last, "canonical ly approved and senniened, inmate rides and price:plea of conduct wettest BIND ALL, AND SWUM IIN170111111TY." It is the equa i li c l which exists miter despotism. It is the order wt • reigns at Warsaw. Strange enough it is to turn from the picture hers presented,and to follow the Camthatin hie endeavour to find a parallel in the eosatitutioaal history of our colonise. "To souse of them," says his Eminent*, "there have been warded a local constitution and power, within proper limits, of self-government" Te the Roman catholic church, in Rnglead, the POP, has accorded no local eonslitntiosi or power end se esitgovernment ; but, cuatieriwins, has done his beet to divest it of what share of then advantages it pre- • k • I ill ! ; I , PORTUGAL. Towsans the close of last month the British ('ban sal was swept by a storm which filled the boob at Lkieds with • frightful list of oasaalties. Among all them there was none more suited to make a pruffiand end enduring impression on the feelings of the public) than the loss of the gallant boatmen of Worthing, who put off to the assistance of the " Lelia Rookh." Eleven brave and generous men were cat off in the full vigour of life, leaving nine wives and thirty-seven children destitute. We will not allow the idea to take possession of us that the appeal which is being made to the public in behalf of the widows and orphans can be otherwise than successful, or that it can require any agorae meat from us. But we would seriously ask the ques tion, seeing that similar cases occur annually, can nothing be done to prevent the recurrence of such disasters P It is not on the open coma that the mariner encounters the greatest risks. Give the skilful sea man a tight ship and good sea-room, and his danger is comparatively smalls But the first touch of the " deep sea lead" is, or ought to be, the signal for redoubled vigilance ; the most skilful seamanship can do hi* little when caught in the Channel, in sash • frenip cane as raged on the 24th and 23th of November limL And the stranding of a ship on our shores uniformly involves many others ip its danger. The humanity and darisg of our fishermen and boatmen is me to impel them to attempt to carry aid in the most sNeL Hog circumstances, and with the most imaged, means. The losses of merchandise and valuable lives leg shipwreck are of three claims : those which occur is defiance of all, that man'e skill and the most fitting appliances can do to avoid them; those which ocear from carelessness; and those which result from the want of efficient means. The loss of the Worthing fishermen is a striking instinct of the amass of life from the want of e ffi cient means. • Thee gallant fellows attempted to board the Lelia Booth in an open boat (we are proud to think that there are thousands along our shores who would have done the same); and were drowned within sight of their wives and; children—almost within hail of the ship they went .to succour.. " When a little to the windward of the barque," says one account, " she was distinctly seen to be struck, and the unfortunate crew, struggling with the waves, and vainly clinging to their frail and water-logged boat, floated by with out the barque's crew being able to lend them the least assistance." Here we have the efforts of vigor ous, breve and skilled men frustrated by the insuf ficiency of their " frail and water-logged boat." The indifference of government and the legislature to the loss of life which annually take. place in this way, on our exposed beaches, is disgraceful, and in explicable in the rulers of a maritime people. Let us look across the Atlantic and see what the American government have done. From Nan tucket Shoals to Cape Hatteras, there are beechen peculiarly fatal to mariners; on which, owing to the currents and other causes, vi ands, when dis abled by mrtain winds are, in ninety-Dine oases oat of a hundred, stranded. Many lives had been baton ' Goo bamboo. when the attention of the American t was directed to the necessity of station life-boats at intervals along them. This has been done to a considerable extent, and we have before us • liet of numerous cases where hundreds of lives have bees saved by the agency of these boats, `sot one of which has a single accident happened to the crews. In the last session of Congress a bine appropriation was made for the purpose of Increasing the number of life-boat stations along the coast, and we believe that in another twelve month there will not be an exposed beach or danKerons bay on the coast of the United States, that will not have its life boat supplird by the Central Oevernment. These boats are under the charge of the coast-guard, or the nearest public officer. They are very light metallic boats, of a peculiar construc tion, adopted by the government on the recommenda tion of the Navy Department, and called " Francia's Surf Life Basta." Now we have certain bays and strands in our Eng lish channels, as notorious for wrecks as " Bquam Beach" or "Cape May." An intelligent channel pilot can point out on the chart, the places where a vessel if disabled will being up or go ashore. They are not numerous, perhaps not more than forty or fifty in all. In most of them we have coast guard stellate. What is to prevent oar following the exam ple of the Americans, and putting the "efficient means" into the hands of the brave fellows who are always so ready to risk their own lives to save those of others P 20,0001. would stud every dangerous coast in Great Britain with life boats, which if upset would right themselves, and if filled clear themselves. This is not a very large sum, for a country that has twice 20,000 men ready and willing to man them whenever and wherever a signal of distress is seen.

The Niagara has encountered heavy gales, which accounts, in some measure, for her krlngthened Imesaffe• By this arrival we have the President's message, ,es delivered on the 4th inst., at Washington. The leading recommendations of the President's IMMINIMP are as follows: "'Metall reproach and recrimination, leading to imam irritation among the several me mbers of the Woo, should be avoided and deprecated. "All laws, while they exist, must be enforced and eheyed, whether popular or obnoxious. The Presi dent must see the law enforced, without exception or discrimination. If any act should pass both Houses it Congress, which should appear to him unconstitu tional, or an encroachment on the just rights of other departments, or provisions hastily adopted and likely to produce consequence' injurious and unfore seen, he will consider it his duty to apply the veto power confided to him by the constitution, and meet it. "Foreign relation, generally are amicable and satisfactory. With Portugal, Brazil, Chili, Pere, and the Hawaiian kingdom, dom, they are improved or im proving. Mexico is beingimportuned to grant a more unrestricted right of way for a railroad across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec; and the Pre.ident hopes he shall arrange with Great Britain respecting the Golan ship-canal through Nicaragua. "He says that a treaty has been ratified by the United States and Great Britain for facilitating and constructing a ship-weal to connect the Atlantic with the Pacific at that point; and but two objects in con nection with it remain to be accomplished—viz., the de signation and establishment of a free port at each end of the canal, and fixing a distance from earth shore within which belligerent operations shall not be oar lied on. " The receipts into the treasury daring the fiscal year which closed with June last were nearly 471 millions. " The federal revenue should be raised mainly by duties on imports. Those duties should be so levied as to benefit incidentally home industry, by shielding it from destructive foreign competition. They should not be exorbitant, but moderate ; should be specifio as tar as possible; and, whenever ad valorem rates are tolerated they should be computed on the home, in stead of the foreign valuation. "Mr. Fillmore recommends that California have • branch mint, and meantime gold stamped by the United States assayer should be received in pay- moot. " An efficient agricultural bureau should be at once created. "The Mexican land titles in California should be promptly adjudicated, and the land laws extended to Utah and New Mexico. " The gold lands should be sold in small quantities. "The message farther recommends the organisa tion of one or more regiments of mountain men for the protection of the frontiers in New Mexico and sout► of it, to help to keep the Indians of Mexico within bounds; also that a law be passed authorising officers of army and navy to be retired from the ser vice when incompetent to perform its vigorous and active duties, taking care to make suitable provision for thaw who have faithfully served the country by awarding distinctions, and by retaining in appropriate commands those who have been conspicuous for good conduct. " A revision of the naval cods is rendered neoes eery by the recent abolition of flogging. " The Poet-office department has cleared 340,000 dollars the past year, and the post-master general and president unite in recommending • reduction of the rates of postage. to 3 cents for pre-paid, and 5 cents for unpaid letters, no matter what distance eon veyed, with some reduction on printed matter also. The message recommends also river and harbour im provements, lighthouses, &c. ; and a prompt and disinterested tribunal to adjudicate all claims on the government. "Lastly, the President is in favour of the axed measures of the late session, Fugitive Slave Law included. He says we have by these seta been res cued from a wide and boundless agitation." This message is looked upon as a quiet, sensible document, but not an important one. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. The money market is without change.

BANK OF ALP Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this company took piece at the offices is Austrin-trisis. Mr. OLITZR FAllaillt in the chair. - - The following report was read and approved: The operations during the hall-year which has passed since the period to which the last annual report referred have continued to be conducted with steadiness and caution; and from the latest &drives received from the colonies, the results have proved satisfactory; while at some of the branches an incensed amount of hotlines has been trans soted, and additioal profit obtained. The colonies generally exhibit gratifying evidence of progressive advancement, the 'market value of wool, the principal article of export, hansi been oonsiderebly enhanced during the present year, sad at the urns time the quantity of that and all other articles of export has materially Increased. A new feature of much importance to the welfare of the Australian colonies bee recently presented staelf, in the commencement of a com mercial intertwine with California, which, if cautiously pur sued by the colonists, cannot fail to be produc tive of beneficial results. The long-continued de pend= in the once flourishing colony of Van Die men's Land will, it is hoped, thus be relieved by the onetime( a new market for its agricultural produce, and by this moans a healthy stimulus given to the present limited °pastime of the bank is .that quarter. The liquidation of toe debt remaining due by the Bank of Australia proceeds satisfactorily. Under a very judicious arrangement entered into by the superintendent, Mr. J. J. Falconer, with the directors of that company (honourably and punctually car. vied oat up to the latest advice. received from the colony), it is sonfidently expected that the debt will be redwood to a very limited amount during the early part of the 'maim year. Sims the direotois last met the proprietore, some pso green has been made in the realisation of the securities Imiiby the back, and in the settlement of old accounts, sad Ills directors will continue to avail themselves of the improviag circumstances of the colony to carry out these objects ft their completion. Although in some instances these realise tions have fallen short of the *surname made by the direction. they are happy in being able to snare the shareholders that this has not been to such an extent as to disappoint the hope held out of an increseed dividend: and having folly consi dered the position and prospects of the bank, they have the satisfaction to state their intention to pay in April next a dividend at the rate of four instead of three per cent. per annum. In accordance, however, with the intention expressed to the last report, they will not increase th is rats until all question as to the realisation of the securities held by the bank sgainet the cid dependencies be brought to a definite issue.' The CHAIBMAH said it was very satisfactory to the directors to be enabled to present so favourable report to the shareholders. lie trusted that the patience and forbearance they had so long exhibited would won meet with its due re ward. At Sydney very little built... had been transacted by the company, but this was owing to the difficulty which had arisen in consequence of their having pressed heavily for payment of the debt due from the Bank of Australia. When this pressure was removed, no doubt the prospects of the com posy in that colony would assume a more favourable aspect. At Melbourne the state of affairs was moat satisfactory, and the business continued to increase in that district. The accounts from Adelaide were equally favourable, and, in short, the state of the colonies, generally, was gratifying and hopeful. The market value of wool still continues to ries, and to this commodity they must look as the great source of their profit. The imports of tallow and copper had also materially increased. As a proof of the advance. meat which had taken piers in the imports of wool, he would inform them that in the year 1815 the amount was 3,0001b5, whereas is the present year it had reached 36 million lbs. Amongst other things the directors had reason to hope that the system of intercourse which they established with California would be of very groat advantage to the com pany, and they would take care that in all their dealings with that country they would not enter into any speculation., but would devote their energies to a anceeedul prosecution of their present affairs. The next point he had to allude to was lice which he regarded with great satisfaction, via., the debt due from the Bank of Australia. He was happy to say had now amounted such a shape that no doubt aced be en tertained as to its ultimata liquidation. lie was happy to state that no emanate remained upon their books except such as naturally arose in the ordinary course of business. All the money now in the batik must come into the pockets of the shareholders, except such sums as would be necessary for the payment of losses which must Mille in banking transactions. After the increase of the dividend to four per cont. the directors did not propane any further increase until Garry liability was " wiped off " and they found that they were in possession of a reserve fund. (Hear, hear.) In answer to a quaint from a proprietor, The CHAIRMAN stated 'that "Mr. Hart's debt" was not in a hotter condition then . it was at the last meeting. Mr. Hart had been is this country, and they bad endeavoured to obtain semething like a settlement, but they had not sue ' curled, and they did not expect that the money would ever be paid, except that portion which was second; and for this simple lesson, that Mr. Hart was without the means to pay it. (Imaginer.) Mr. Berjant GIZELBE congratulated the directors upon Delo, able to furnish so gratifying a report; and he wee especially pleased to hear that they had refused to remit any portiere of the debt due from the lank of Australia. He was unions to be informed whether the directors had thought it advisable to open any banking establishment in New Zealand. It was a email colony, but large numbers of people were proeeeding there, and it might ultimately prove a source of fruitful banking. The CHAIRMAN replied that by the company's charter they had the power to establish a bank at New Zealand if they thought fit, but the proprietary would believe that the directors had been too fully occupied with the pro siest affairs of this company to be able to establish any new hanks. When their capital wee entirely unincumbered they would be in a better condition to turn their attention to new undertakings ; but they could not state, at present, bow long it might be before such would be the cue. Mr. Bailout GAZBLER then inquired when it was pro bable that the company would see their business transacted iu a building more adequate to the purpose. The present offices were in a locality white wee quite unknown to the majority of people, and he trusted that before the Great Bo hthition the beak would be ta • more favoured situation, se shit foreigners might be enabkdao diecover its whereabouts. (Laughter.) The CHAIRMAN said no ono was more opposed to the present building than he was, but they could not remove until their lease of the promisee had expired, which would be in two years' time. (Hoar, hear.) Mr. Henderson was then elected • director, fa room of Mr. Brownrlgg, radioed; dad thanks having been passed to the directors and eeentary the meeting separated.

Witness was roused about a quarar past don the morning of the Tuesday previous by the lady's maid, who came to the door of his room, and said that ' , mettles had happened to her muter. Witness went thuctly to Mt. Spence 's bedroom, at the door of whicii he was met by Mu. Spence, who des ired him to go immediately for medical assistance. Witness went for Dr. Meckensn., and Mr. Squibb, the family medical atterdant. His muter bad suffered from spasms for • long time, and he hul not slept well lately. The deceased dept in a roue by himself, Mrs. Spence occupies en adjoining epatmeet. The lot month the deceased slept worse and worse—us constantly low spirited, and frequently said that he should get over his complaint. Witness bad never observed anything strange in his master's manner, except lumen of spirits. Mr. Spence was 63 years of age.
