To the sums speculator the extent of his responsibility is a matter of perfect indifference, and therefore unli mited stsfplesibility, so far fr om checking specula- Lima, eon bare no other effect than to restrain from joist-stock undertakings the eolvent and the racket, who object to bs exposed to a risk oat of all proper den to the interest which they may take or the ad vantages which can accrue to them. Bat it may be said that a restriction of the In balky of joint-stock shareholders would be unfair to weditors. We pass by the obvious answer, that the dealings of creditors will be based epos a know ledge of such restriction, and affirm that the operation of the present law is to give an unfair advantage to creditors. In dealing with a private trader or partnership the creditor has no certain ksowledge of the bored, tde capital pos sessed, and even if he happen to know at any given period that a large end adequate capital is invested in the trade, be has no assurance that ft may not be expended or absorbed in some private extravagance or unsuccessful speculation distinct from the under taking in which it ought to be legitimately employed, and therefore the credit given to a private partner ship I. In fret accorded rather to the personal cha racter and business-like conduct of the partners, than to an accurate knowledge of their re sources; sad thus the unlimited responsibility 'of the trader naterially assists his operation by the sesureme dim given that any nodes risk or mares of dealiag,er trifling with credit, most be stated by an entire saurian of his property. Ignorance of the precise eirensostssees of his debtor generates emotion and cireurgastioe on the part of the ere-itor, while a know ci the large extent of his liability is an additional ledecentent to prudence by the trader. But in joint-steak partnerships these conditions do not exist. Thum the actual amount of capital to be pro vided is known, its sufficiency can be calculated, and' its very application can be almost observed. It eta not be lessened by losses on the turf, or bad luck at the gaming table. It may be wastefory expended, yet still at the pallet the personal liability of the directors it must be expended on the undertaking for which it is agreed to be provided. Bet,ia addition to the protec ion afforded by the senesces of the expenditure of a certain amount of capital, the creditor dealing with a joint stock com pany is at the name time relieved from any need for circumspection, sails tempted, as it were, to a reck less credit by the knowle hat without reference to the number of their shares or the extent at their Tint seal of the neophyte is proverbially indiscreet, and some of oar coetemporarses, in their ardour to punish the presumptuous pontiff, so late the object of their absilutist sympathies, have overlooked the dif ficulties which the laws of this land of freemen oppose in the way of their anreflecting ressetment. The nines and Chronicle are at fault if they suppose that when Pros TX. or Cardinal WISEMAN some within thajerieffiction of the Old Bailey, they sea he smelted by any indictment at I.: o =set of Ilse =advised and hasty movement of ambition which has stirred the wrath of Englishmen so obesely. We ds not mean to deny that an eager jdge, aided by an exasperated Jeri, might not se strain the letter of the penal code, as to bring upon his eminence the Cardinal Arebbabep and his abettors the natural consequnees of their imprudamt contempt of public feeling, or at least to maU their position exceedingly unpleasant, But Heaven forbid that for this or any purpose our courts of Janice Auld, at this time of day, revert to the evil pews , dents of judicial example set them by the Emus"- 20001111 and NORISURTS of the past generation, or their predecessors and models of the STUART time It appears to as tolerably clear that, deplorable and blameable es the late proceeding of the sovereign pontiff (acting, we blush to my, under English sun red) undoubtedly is, it has not bean directly and essentially illegal. In other words, the mere crea tion of an Archbishopric of WESTMINSTER, having viruses, jurisdiction over the Roman catholic, of England, although coupled with the gift of a cardi nal's hat to the first metropolitan of that province, is act an set beyond the measure of the liberty granted to the charth of Rome by the legislates, of this kingdom. We do not on that account condemn the less the short-sighted policy which dictated the pro (seeding, or the offensive style in which it is carried oat; nor are we blind to the fact that the papal re script most ungraciously . avoids *writhing like a disclaimer of temporal jurisdiction in Rome, or her delegates within this realm. Neither are i v: ip er j r = rant that a temporal jurisdiction of a very nature, although not expressly asserted by the Me script itself, doss in fact belong to the authority um. tarred by the gift, and had been even before the formalities of the gift itself were pedaled, in mlee immure pat in execution. We refer, of stew, to N the statute, as the unlawful document is wag, by which in ooetrawation of every statute of the maim, for re gulating the rights of property and the jurisdiction of courts within the setae, the new Cardinal Archbishop ofWeernoteraa—whether with or without the papal approbation we care not—has taken upon himself to legislate for the case of all the churches, chapels, col leges, schools, and other charitable endowments of our Roman catholic follow subject., for whom himself and his ecclesiastics are in the eye of the law only tour toss, and to whom they are accountable in that shie water both at law and in equity. There is no doubt that the mere assumption of this pretended power to altar the settlement of trust property, if not to destroy the Waite themselves, is utterly illegal, and even punishable by permunire on conviction, under statutes pared in the Roman catholic reigns of EDWARD 111. sad Matsui IL, for the purpose of giving additional weight to the terrors of the common law, which for bade already the sesumptioe. To this subject of Roman catholic charities, however, we shall before Isar have occasion to return, and we have mentioned it only that our observations on the late re script may aot be misconstrued. All that we assert is, that the Roman catholic penal sots, an altered by the relief seta, and se int. rpreted by runt decisions, do not forbid the POPE from creating withio this re alm what spiritual government he pleases over Roman catholic., WO the Raman esthetic subjects of her Mature from scceptieg Sad exercising such government ; and that he and they are equally free to style the ecclesi astical offices so created and their holders by any territorial tithe whatever, those titles being only ex cepted which were no the 23rd April, 1829, used by prelates of the eetablished church, and have not since Usa abolished by parliament. The principal relief acts are the 31 Geo. In e. 32, esesissely ward Edmund Burke's act, and as 10 Oeo. IV. o. 7, the celebrated measure of 1829. Ac cording to those swats., no Roman catholic who Rae taken the oath thereby appointed can be "prevented, indicted, and impeached, prosecuted, or convicted" for "any practice or observance of the popish reli gion, or maintaining or assisting others therein," and any priest or minister of any higher reek or order" may on the same terms officiate in any registered place of Roman catholic worship, and shell have the same protection for so doing as if he were the minis• ter of any protestant dissenting congregation as sect. The courts have repeatedly given effect to these enactments, in the case of prelates as well as of priests; the exclusive jurisdiction of the former has been expressly recognis, d, and in one memorable in stenos the House of Lords carried judicial liberality ' so far es to aribuowledge the innocence of the papal mandete,by which the bishops and vicars apostolic of England sesame to jedge in muses matrimonial, and their competence in that character to expound before their lordships the principles and practice of Roman canon law. interest, and beyond the subscribed capital, even if it should be altogether expended, each shareholder is liable, for the whole debts which may be contracted. It is not too much to say that bat for this exten sive liability, the preliminary expenses of companies previous to incorporation would have been mach smaller and a large portion of the debts of babble esespanies which are now in course of apportionment snider the Winding-up Companies Act would not, have existed. Nothing indeed can be much more ridiculous than the state of our law in regard to incl. I pied tromptniee. On the one hand the directors are from requiring the payment from the share -016 den prior to incorporation by act of parliament or complete registration of more than a very limited deposit; while, on the other, the directors are an tborind to pledge the credit of the shareholders to an unlimited amount. It is evident, then, that creditors occupy a much more advantageous position in regard to joint stock associa tions than against private partnerships, and that the present state of the law has a tendency to deter from enterprises of this kind precisely that clam of persons by whom they would bs most beneficially supported. It most, we think, be admitted that this is an novitiate°. tory state of things. It is by the operation of the joint stock principle alone that undertakings of s public or of a (rait- public character can be mom phelesd, and it is impolitic that a principle which is celled into exercise mainly at a point beyond which private capital will not go, or fa purposes not suffi ciently rsmuuerative for individual enterprise, should he esijesed to greater liabilities than woald be im- Rif area trapeivate din if they were to undertake e shiest. eel Ms been felt strongly, and men of the grealliet mince have advocated an alteration el the We, but no one has hitherto grappled with the saliketleddly. As is too frequently the case the fall emisleration of the question has been post poned by tsmgerary expedients. Enlarged powers for gelat in darters of inoorporatioa have been 000lsned open the Crown, but as those powers are very seldom assedsed except in the cm el companies with moo. norm espitels, and can only be obtained at alone ask, the limited liability which can be acquired by thew as well as by an act of • tion Ins been truly described u " a sort aristoc ratic: pis vilege," and the Joint Stock Registry Act leaves the sheroltahlen exposed to an %inherit xt liability, il k restricts the time for which such liability continue after the dismal of the shares. The remedy which has beer palmed of handfuls, into this country the partnership en connownside which is so extensively acted upon in France and other esatinental countries and in the United States, demands grave consideration. It is impossible but to speak with respect of a plan of partnership under which enterprise has been so aseesed'ally encouraged ; and a system in extensive lase is a country so commercial and among a people with characteristics so similar to our own as err brethren in the United States deserver a sante! regard, bet the modification or change of any Mg setablished system of law ought to be made in her mony as far as possible with the empathise eel habits of • people, and the principle ot the partner , ship en memmenift, so tar es It requires the t of the estitel plomptly, and allows the ' et the aseklimkes thereby from all responsibility, while the astemillie Wine. is carried on in the names et mansion without means, is at variance with the = tom elder country.

If the bishop is protected by the words of the statute, so also must be the archbishop. Bitter p 4 ate comes within the category of " minister of a higher tank or order than priest. " It is true that the same cannot be veld of the cardinalate, which of itself gives no precedence in the hierarchy of Roma But there is no law now in forty against the acceptance of the eardinalate, or the coming of a cardinal into England. There was never any special enactment against cardinals. If they were ecelesiesties they incurred the penalties of such; if laymen, they were liable to be dealt with as vulgar paptsts. The relief acts have been equally silent in this regard; and if English cardinals now enjoy no privilege, they certainiy fare no worse than the rest of her ?derstryte Roman catholic subjects. It has been argued that the cardinalate being a foreign employment, and the holder of it the coun cillor of a foreign prince, it is repugnant to the prin ciples of our law that Cardinal WisexMc should reside and discharge the duties of his pastoral office of arch bishop within England. The force of this objection altogether dopes& upon the circumstance of whether the Cardinal Archbishop's authority be merely spiritual, or whether it be not spitball and temporal mingled. If there be large properties and trusts vested in the catholic vicar-in chief—if this property, often landed, and thew trusts, generally extensive, give the foreign prince and Enalish Roman catholic prelate great power not only over his eergy, but over large numbers of people dependent upon him ;—if this authority be so vast and so important, that Bishop WIBEYIII even before his promotion thought fit to establish a council and a statute for the administration thereof—there cer tainly does ariae a question, to be decided by higher authority than we are, how far • R oman car di nal and a foreign prince can bold such an office. Cardinal Wisrarax, we believe, has sworn temporal as well as spiritual fealty to the POPZ of Roma. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING.

The total of expenses of the department of the Seine for 1851, Is 9,018,638 franca; the total of receipts estimated for the same year is 8,192,000 fr. The deficit will, therefore, amonit to 826,636 fr. The deficit of 1850 exceeded a million, and, although the evil goes on diminishing, it will only be radically oared when the enormous charge of pabtio assistance for the hospitals and chari ties of Paru, which now presses exclusively upon the inhabitants of the Seine, is transferred to the budget of the state. Tne department, according to the pre fect's statement, has incurred a debt of 61 millions of francs for the administration of public assis , ance ; and a new deficit in 1861 will swell this obligation to 8 millions. The continued increase of the charges, and the insufficiency of the departmental treasury to pro vide for their liquidation, have caused the Minister of the Interior to take into consideration plans for dif- fusing the burden over the other provinces. This is the topic of main interest to be discussed in the sittings of the councils-general of the Stine. They have been ordered to communicate a memoir by M. Davenne, director cipoblio assistance, on this subject. The Prominent states that "after the breaking up of the council of ministers on Saturday Pd. de Lahitte had a long interview with the British ambeesador, and it is said that he was to have had another oat ference in the evening with M. de Kieseleff, the Russian chargé d'affaires. We also know that in the ' , salons of Lord Normanby the diplomatic body con versed very: earnestly on the attitude France was about to assume as regarded the Emperor Nicholas. Lord Normanby maintained the greatest reserve. The Union announces that the council of state has finished its labours on the law of the organisation of the municipal bodies, and that it has decided that the nomination of the mayors shall be exclusively with the executive. Concerning the Lyons plot more intelligence has been received by the government. The insurrection was to have broken out on the day of the re-opening of the Legislative Assembly, and the conspirators believed there would be a rising at Paris on the same day.

The number of pusengers brought by the Cambria is 188. The state elections for Ohio and Pennsylvania have resulted in a great preponderance for the democratic party. We regret to say that disturbances, amounting to a riot, occurred at Jenny Lind's last convert. The mob obtained forcible entrance into the concert hall, and took possession of the meats, refusing to relinquish them. Hundreds who had taken tickets were en tirely excluded. The excitement classed by the Fugitive Slave Bill is described as being greatly on the increase. A telegraphic despatch, dated Detroit, Oct. 12, says: " The slave excitement continues. The jail is well guarded by our military, who are ander regular army diaclipline. The negroes around the city are uttering awful threats. At Sandwich, in Canada, opposite Detroit,:there are, at the least calculation, three hun dred negroes, who lately crossed the river, and it is dangerous for a citizen from here to be seen among them. The house of an Irishman, who informed of a negro fugitive now in jail, was attacked last night, and gaps and pistols were fired by both the assailants and those inside, and some blood was abed. A large meeting has been held by the friends of freedom, at which the mayor presided. Speeches were made by the Hon. S. Bingham, mayor, and Messrs. Joy and Emmons. Some persons anticipate trouble when the negro is out; he is now awaiting his papery. A sub scription has been raised, sufficient to purchase his liberty should be be seat back." Another dispatch, dated Oct. 14, says : " Some further attempts have been made to capture a number of fugitive slaves, and serious results are likely to fol low. The authorities are using every precaution to suppress all attempts to rescue the alleged fugitives now in prison, and the jail is well guarded by the military." • The Herald, alluding to the foregoing intelli gence, says: . _ _ We would not be at all surprised to heir of a war of eater titillation breaking out between the rams, which will not be confined to the west, but which will spread throughout the whole of the free states. Alter an agitation oft Renee years, the slavery question has reached a crisis—the only crisis that could follow—and the scenes which the abolition fanatics laboured to produce in the south, between the black and white ream there, are now in danger of being enacted in the free states. We shall look for later intelligence from Detroit with a groat deal of intone. In almost all the Ire* stoma the coloured population and the abolition fanatics have held meetings, at which they ren•lved to oppose the recapture of fugitive slaves under the bill recently parsed by Congrese, at the risk of their lime, and to repel force by force. We may, therefore, look for a collision between the two races, the end of which no one an predict. Tne coloured people of the city of Brooklyn had held a meeting in reference to the bill, and an appeal of the people of colour to the whites of the free states was unanimously adopted. . . Ate public meeting at Boston, on the 14th, on the subject— FiIeDISICZ. DOUGLASS stated that he was not present for the purpose of advocating the principles of abolitionism, but to 'mai to the cinema of Boston as humane men, as men of some refinaneat of feeling, as men of civilisation, is behalf Or a auttriing people. The passage of the halides elave•law, as it is g Ily called, bad created great alarm, not only in this city, but in all places at the north, and particularly in places at the west, where the coloured popul Aloe of many towns were nearly all fugitives, or connected with fugitives. Within the past two days he had travelled some five hundred miles, and found this feeling of alarm to owlet all along his route, and be had met many fugitives who were on their way to Canada. After relating instances of the manner in which awe slaves bed effected their escape, he said the pr.neipal object of the masters, in regaining possession of fugitives, was to gratify a malignant feeling of revenge, for every one was well aware that any slave who ' has ono, tasted the sweets of freedom, and realised the fact slut he is a men, if taken back into bondage, is fir from making a profitable slave. He next narrated the circum maims connected with the escape of a female slave, who is now in New Bedford, and put the inquiry, if the slave hunter from the south should gain possession of her, and abeald take her through Boston, would the citisess suffer bee to be taken back into the house of bondage ? The ghee- 1 ilea was distinctly and decidedly answered in the negative. I His own family had been greatly alarmed recently, by the receipt of two telegraphic despatches, to the effect that the oaten were in pursuit of his own pence ; and here he would remark that ha stood free ; not in core. quince of the amesge of any law, but by the payment of 750 dole. in Bri dal% gold to the democratic alaveholder at Bt. Michael's, who : claimed to own his body. But he bad a regularly drawn u 'bill of sale of his own body, yet he sometimes bad feels that it might cousin some flaw which would render it of no us to him. Upon learning that hunters were after him, his, bet thought was to flee to Canada, but he finally coneuded se remain at home, and receive them like a man, one at a time. If the people of the United Stain are determined to carry out the principles of this law, the coloured people can not p it. They were at the mercy of the people of the Bantry. He wished not to deal in the language of defiance, , as they could proclaim no united resistance to the law. It cal i remained for them to continue to suffer ; and be felt authorised to state, that the coloured population of Boston bad resolved, one and all, that while they can have no hope of successful resistanos to the fugitive bill, they would sutler death rather than be returned to the bonds of slavery. A terrible accident occurred at New York on the 12th. The ship Western World, from Liverpool, had been unloading fur the last two or three days at pier 8; and, on Saturday, a quantity of pig iron, amounting to about 150 tons, had been removed from her arid laid in one spot on the dock, and several carts and men were engaged in putting it on board a barge, which lay at the end of the wharf. From the great weight of the iron, being all on one spot, the pier gave way, precipitating carte, horses, men, and women into the river, with a terrible crash and commotion of the water. The ship and barge were caused to roll for a considerable time. It appears that the three beams called stringers, upon which the planking rests, and which run from the land to a pier of stones sunk in a wooden frame, or crib, broke off near the stones on which they reseed, while the pressure of the iron downward mused the planks to start up, and some of them were out off as short as if they were sawed. There were two of the labouring men drowned, and a woman who had a stand beside the ship. There were two coloured men seriously in jured, named Joseph Dom and Coleman Royal, who were conveyed to the City Hospital. There was one man saved with much difficulty, who held on by a plank till he was rescued. One horse and cart were last, the horse going down bead foremost, and the art after him. Three others were saved, one of them having only his head out of water, the cart and his body being covered. The harness was out away, and the tackling being rigged to the maioyard of the skip, he was hoisted up. Two others lay on the top 'teach other.

The New York Weekly Herald has the following; Inlvrmetion trz:m London has arrived in this city, whisk Rives the Mende of the Nicaragua canal reason to believe that there will be much difficulty in raising money among British capitalists tor the purpme of ca•rying out the project. The treaty between Mr. Clayton and Sir Henry Silver, of the 19 h to April lam, it is well known, bee been read differ ently by different persons, and conflUts with the Spier tr•a•y made between our !government and • 'comma. It was int. mated that Mr. Bulwer's friends in London would take thrm fourths of the capital stock, in which, we mese me, he is natu rally interested ; but the discussions of the Mosquitia question, and of the occupation, by the British, of flan Juan, seem to have chilled the impulses of British capitalists. Mr. Joseph L. White, who went out to London to raise money for the canal, finds that the merits of the whole subject are there well understood, and that the difficulty in the way of the canal is net easily surmounted It is evident •hot the faith of the Ilci!ed &time is pledged to the Nicaraguan govern• meet, and while the Senate of the United States have paused on Mr. Squier's treaty to consider the pre-ition of the whole topic, in all its relations, It is not surprising that British capitalists ehnuld pause also, before they imperil their money in an enterpr a that may yet be involved in a series of pro tracted diplomatic negotiations, if not in a serious quarrel between Enghaid and the United States. The whole matter now rests on England's continuing to maintain her proteclo• rata over a portion of the Nicaraguan territory, known es Mosquitia. No canal can be built while this claim iv maintained. On the 14th another steamboat explision occurred near Pittsburgh, and four persons were ir.stantly kilted; flee o- six others were dangerously scalded.

The specimets of wheat, copper, and forest wot de, which will be presented on this occasion, it is believed cannot be rivalled in the world. The miring companies in the vicinity of Lake Su perior are prosecuting_ their operations with great energy and success. The recent develapmente, both in the copper and iron regions, are of a highly flatter ing character, and serve to dispel all doubts vi h re gard to the feasibility of the enterprise. 'foe con nection of the lakes by means of a ship canal, whic'a will soon be effected, will afford every facility for com munication, and the mineral wealth of the Upper Peninsula will find an easy transit to all parts of the country. It is estimated that the rough copper which will be sent down from Lake Superior the present lyear will amount to over two and a half millions of pounds. About 1,000 operatives are to be employed the ensuing winter, in connection with the mining enterprise. The present mail brings news from llsvannah to the Bth inst. Great excitement existed at Havanturh ia consequence of a report that 6,000 men were con gregated in the United States, and reedy to embark on another expedition under Lopez.

The disarming of volunteers caused considerable excitement between the Captain-general and the citizens.
