We have always been of civilian that Dr. Winemmt did not return to this country from RAM*, with the dim!, of Cardinal, and the pretended title of Archbishop of West minster, to carry into effect the provisime of the P,pe's iaso lent hall, without a auffiaent staff of Jesuits end Seculars, to compass the designs of the apostate church, of which he i is the chief organ in this country. We gather from the papers and other sources of information, that many of our large towns ate, at this moment, infested by the most an scrupulous emisearies of the Pepsi see; and that Exeter - is by no means exempt from their bias endeavours to moiety- Mee, and to get admission secretly into private families, is evident hose the statement we shall subjoin. We beg to call to it the lerlo9l attention of all parents and guardians Of families, and also to elution the youthful of both sexes , against being entrapped by the guile .red subtlety of strata- , psi, should they be accosted. We are 'Monism that other , young panne in this city and neighbourhood have been tampered with. The folio , . ins is the sulostauce of Miss Jetta , deposition, before the Mayor of Exeter, at the a.m. :fall, on the 6 Lot Ott:ember, 1860: "I am the daughter of Willies linek,,and reside in Col ' loos-plea, Ismer; shortly after the stit of November last, SI I wag on liesthernhay, musing from school, and going towards the Filers, an elderly gentleman in black, having the appearance of • clergyman, addzessed ; he had 10. . lowed me ; he said me Om way to Hemline; I told him. He thee left me, going in the dietetics I had pointed out to him. He was alone. This was in the middle of the day. In a day or two afterwards I saw him again about the same place, whom he again addeested me, saying he had found his way to lieseitres, and it woo not so die. 'usable es he had landed; I sontinued walking on each time, and he amompanyieg me, aometinass by my side, and at other times a little behind me, talking to me ' • he said he knew me, sad told me ,where I lived; he avid it was in the parish of the Holy Trinity; he said he knew Mr. Gatury, the clergyman; that he was much liked amongst the poor, hat his ounces were not liked. nevoid he was wavy I dill not helms to the eathatie Murat. He knew that members of isy family belonged to it. He said it was the earl true religion. He then left eat. It Via below the hospital. I have men him several times since, and he has always spokes to eas on the subject of the catholic religion. Oa 'faraday lortaight, the 19th November, I again saw him. I woo by the Valiant Soldier, going towards the Magdalen. mad Ha was on tkie opp site side, by Mr. Ridgway's home. I continued walking on, and when about Mr. Pndham'a shop he overtook me. He eommenced talking abort the Roam ultetioe, both el us will ...sheltie on towards Hearne.. When we came jat by Mies Charlton's holm, I was taken by the shoulders and pushed into a room or shop (opening ioto the street) of on uniababited house. The door wee abut, and I found myself in the ro an with two persons, one toe same gentleman who had repeatedly before lipase to me, sad the other a person who I bed several times men before, and who had also ones spoken to me. The second preen was meager than the other, and dressed like e geatleastn. They are both strangers. There was no furniture in the room but a tort of butcher's block, a bench. There was a pro and irk, and a small image of the Virgin and a mode: on the bench. The elder one took a paper from his pocket. There waa writing on it, and he said I should have to age It. He read it to sae in the nature of en oath. It was is the second person, u, ' You vow, or you shall vow to mast the doe. trine, of the church of 'instead, and follow thou of the church of RISC' 1114$ also to vow to attend the Christmas midnight mesa. By this oath I was also to 'weer I would not divulge the name of Mr. Horan, or give any due that he might be known by my trisects. 1 son sidered the other person, the younger one, to be the Mr. Horan referred to. I should know him aglia. I signed the piper by the direction, of both. The elder one handed me the pen. Before I signed the paper he gam me a Testament. Before that 1 was to have been sworn alter the form of the Romish church, upon which the elder remarked I should consider that void, and then it was I wee sworn upon the New Testament. I took the book in my left hand at first, upon which the elder one said I must take it with my right hand. Then he repeated an oath to me that I should not divulge what was in the p.per. The elder took the paper, and I was cautioned and warned that if I to'd, there was another young person who was in their power, whose friends would sgain. I heeitated to take the oath, upon which they told me that if I did not take it, my friend. should never hear of me aealn. One of hem then told me I might go, saying, 'Remember what we have told you ' 1 - he room door had bail locked when we first went in. They unlocked it to let me out. I cannot speak as to the window shutters being up or down. There was li,,ht encuen for me to sign my name; but in ostler to read the paper the moth man took it towards what light there was. I left both in the room when I came away. I did not go into the room voluntarily, but wee putted into it by force. I should not o.berwise have gone M. It was from the force, threats, and coercion used by deism two persona that I aimed the rpm, and took the oath I die. I would not otherwise have dose one. I did it under leer. In cons, gamma of their conduct lam atrnid of meet ing them again, and to wale the streets alone."

MR. WILLIAM STURGEON. We have the melancholy ta4 of recording the data of Mr. William Sturgeoo, which took place on Sunday week at Muenster, where he had for ems yean filled the office of lecturer on unmet to the Royal Vicuna Gallery of Practical Science. Mr. Sturgeon was one of those striking examples which should alornys be carefully held up before the public of a man working his own way from a very humble I station in life to one of twanderableni•Eltial eminence. He wiss born at Whittington, in the crinkly of Lutustese,dh the year 1783, sat wee apprentice' by hie parent' toe ebbe. maker. In 1302 he entered the Westmoreland militia, amd two ye are lat^r he ted u a private soldier in the Biral Artillery. While in this corps he devoted hie leisure to scientific studios, and appeals to have made himself timelier with all the great facts of electricity and magnetism which were then opening to the world. (Erred had recently made his great discovery which resulted in the esteblish mint of the sew ',knee of electroneacnetism, at this perio I *urging the attention of Faraday, Herschel, Arago, Asinine, end others. Mr. Sturgeon entered co the inqu,ry, and made himself known to the scientific world of the me , ropolis by his modification of Ampere's rotatory cylinder', employed fnr showing haw two eltetrilytid masses have a tendency to circulate about each other. We are in debted to the Manchester Corner for much of the following sta•ement of the program of Mr. Sturgeon's contribution* to science, In 1824, Mr. Sturgeon begs' to give the fruited his in vesigetions to the public. In that you no fewer than near papers of great merit appeared from his pen, on the subjects of eleetro end thermoelectricity, in the pages of the London FAilosophicni Magazine. In 1824, he published is the" Transactions of the Society of Arta" the desuiption of a complete set of novel *lntro. magnetic apparatus. The great merit of this apparatus consisted in the improved adaptation of the magnets, bat seise, &c . to one another; by mesas of which Mr Sturgeon wee enabled to perforce, with a 'clink battery of the sin- of • piat pot :raiment' which had previwudy ',gaited the lAN of • cumbrous and cad, battery. The Society of Arts testified their sees. of the important.' of this contribution by awarding to its author their large silver medal, with a pone of thirty guineas. About this time Mr. Sturgeon made his great discovery of the soft iron electro-magnet; and having observed the high degree of polarity acquired by a straight bar of iron on making • current of electricity to circulate around it, u well as the suddenness with which the direction of polarity could be reversed by cheeping the direction of the current, he proceeded to constrict electromagnets on the same principle, but bent into the (rem of a horse shoe, so that the pool by being bearish' mar one another could unonsteate their action on any given obj-et. This sof iron demo magnet has entered into the struc'ure of every form of electric telegraph—end it may be regarded u the most important addition made by any expelimen taint to the science of magnetism. We fi nd Mr. S orison I. 1830 pal:dollies a pamphlet, entitled " Experiment.l Researches in Electra-Magnetism, Oelvanises," fie., cos t Tieing an extern...live series of original exoerimeits. In this work he first vinted out the superior dr cts to be derived from the use of amelgamated lutes of rolled eine in the voltaic battery. instead of the unprepared cast sine thea in emend nee. lie prepared his plates by dipping them first into • dilate solution of acid, to cleanse their surface., and afterwards plunging them into mercury. lie showed that plates prepare( in this way do not effervesce in dilute sul phuric acid, aa the unprepared plates do; and, in con sequence, require to be much less frequently renewed than the latter • whilst, at the same time, the electric current produce d is much m re intense sail constant. It is a remarkable lac', that no further improvement has been effected in the preps/stun of the positive plates of the gales, nie apparatus, and that Mr. Sturgeon's amalgamated sine plat a are at the present day employed in every form of ino proved battery, whether patented or not. In 1836, Mr. Sturgeon communicated • paper to the Royal Satiety, which contains the description of a perfectly original magnetic electrical machine, in which a most ingenious contrivance was adopted for uniting the reciprocating electric currents developed, so as to give them one initorm direction. By this contrivance Mr. Sturgeon succeeded in pro duclog all the effects due to ordinary voltaic cor relate, by . means of the action of magnets on rotating c.als of wire. Ire the same year, the crew industry of Mr. Sturgeon was rewarded by two other im portant inventions. The first of these was that of the electromagnetic coil machibe, an instrument devised Sr the purooae of plying • PUCCOIFIIieII of el chic shocks in medical treatment, sod which has been generally preferred by medical men to all others intended for similar puree. The other was an eleetro magnetic engine, fur ;mice motion to machinery. Mr. S'airgen filled the chair of experimental philosophy in the lion. Rest India Company's Military Academy at Addiecombe, for some years with grew credit to hains.4. Oa a recent occasion, &dioxides having fallen u?tin this able experimentelist in the decline of life, governs. nt, is, the representation of some stic.tifie friends, advanced him the aim of 2001.; aid is 1819 awarded to him the small Fh11,104 11801. per annum, which he enjoyed for only one year. The lost work of this remarkable man was that of collect ing and publishing his works in one quarto volume; on which we hope to bestow some further notice. To say that'llr.

Application (mays the Cor* Southern .Reporter) hem been made to Dr. O'Brien by a friend, conuniestotted to _ . .. . . make the Inquiry on behalf of an Bagliah Arm, respecting the eligibility, as to alto and water supply, of two establish. meats, now, we believe, idle, In the neighbourhood of Car. ringaline, with a view to their unveralon into ilax.seatehing mills, the applicants requiring to know whether they could be made available to prepare the &goof 7,000 scree of flax strew, and also whether, in case of the mills being set to work that quality Olin maid be calculated on as lately to be grown in Ike district. These questions have both been affirmatively answered by Dr. O'Brien; and from the statement of his friend, be cossiden it nearly certain that the parties on whose behalf the application was made will eater at once into treaty whittle millownere, and, if fairly met, embark their cspital is the pr , posed undertaking. This, certainly, is a cheering prospect for the people of Kin&lee and Kerricurrihy. The site 01 these mills is, as we have said, peculiarly eligible. In the statistical y of Cork, the Roy. Mr. Townsend 'peaks of the land in these baronies thus The soil of the low oroands is sufficietoly deep, of a kind and mellow texture, producing good hay and pasture, and excellent grain;" and again—" Tee richest soil of this district Is found in the vale, which, beginciog at Cork harbour, takes its course to the western mrretnity of Brinoy." All the valley of the Ooa indeed, is particularly eui'ed for the flax plant, and it could not fail to prove resannentive to the grower. Add to this that the &cilium of water-carriage make Carrigalirm aeceisible to all the districts about the harbour, and persons cultivating the plant on any part of its shores would 8 id a market there, the cost of carriage to which would be comps naively email.

We .r.:st, however, that, before very long, it would he exp-rted, in the character of yarn or linen, and not merely as fiez. Referring to the existing demand for flax•seed required in the manufacture of oil and cake, and for sowing purposes, the report of the R 4.1 Flex Soc.ety iur published has the following remarks " There Is an annual Import from foreign countries in the Crated Kingdom of about 650,000 quarters of seed and 70,000 tons of °duke made from it, value Cue- I :her about 1,960,0001, all of which could readily be ow planted by the home-grown art Ole, while the valuable manure which it produces would ratans to the soil the greeter part of the substances token from it by the plair. To meet the austral demand for sowing, ab tut 28,000 quarters of seed would be required, at an average valuer of 1128001. Nor would the money value he the only advantage of producing this at keine. It often happens, as in the Sam of the present year, that enough foreign seed cannot be procured to meet toe demand, end while f,e price is so much enhanewd u to place its purchase beyond the means of the po.rer class of farmers, mooch land ,intended for fix is put in other crop., atter tb. import of seed has been ex austed. It is very gratifying to flod that morretban 6,000 bushels of seed from the steeping concerns were sold last spring to farmers, and that the proem., as in all instances where good home. caved seed is need, was abundant, and generally eacelled tke trope from foreign seed. Your committee calculate that nearly 40,000 bushels of Irish seed will be available for next sowing season, from this and other sources. They look con fiduity forward to a period not far distant, when the import of foreign seed will be restricted to the quantity necessary to maintain the rigour of the plant, es it ha. been found that is the same strain of seed be mod fur itemise/ea years it de generates in quality, but this might be obviated by chang ing the mad to different soils, as is done in the cue of other plane." It appears from tie official returns of the years 184748, and 49, dist the cumber of quarters of 8m seed imported into this county y have been as follows; —From Rums, Northern port., 623,399 ; 256,794 ; 118,190.

Witn reepeet to the linen trade of Ireland, it is one which is no doubt yet capable of rig icing very considerable eaten. Notwithstanoing the complete removal of the " bounty system," spin which the Irish Linen Board was carried on for wetly a century, the inctsase which tea taken piece in the linen manufactures since l's dissolution of the board, bee been most surprfsit.g. Under a system which gave a bounty of thirty O'Meara for each spin •le, not more than 12,000 spindles wire worked, while at the pitmen% moment, under a dtderent state of things., the num , * r has increased to nearly 400,000, and the esorts have increased from 55,000.000 to 106,000,0!0 yards. The progress and pretest pesi ion of the Ina ft x m .aufacturen is then stated by Mr. DitAdam ' the so eretagy to the Royal Flex Society: " In 1793 the first laudatory for spinning flex woe erected le Ores' Britain ; and, as it was found that thus produced mote cheaply than by hand. this trade speedily extended itsfl!. Tue fox was all spun dry, and the yarns produced were all of the costlier kinds. The first t e o lnaion machinery referred to in Ireland was established at Cork in 1803, and consisted of 212 spindles for canvas yarns. Ti • Linen Board, through a bounty of 30.. per spindl, succeeded in eocouragieg the organisation of several c cares, amoentiog, In 1809, to an aggregate of 6,3b9 spindles la 1816 there were in Ulster five mills, the largest having 1,024, and the smallest 300, spindles. In the same year there were two in Leinsver and seven in Munster, only one being at full work, owing to the depression of trade int ly after the end of the war. About 1826, English sad Scotch yarns began to be imported for the hest time into Ireland, and completely undersold the hand•pun article. The.' yarns were produced on the system called wet spin. ning, t he fits, during the process of twisting, being passed through hot water. By •Ina mode it could be spun much finer than by the dry apiAning, and by degrees, aided by subsequent itsprcresruts, the quality and fineness of th• yarn Isere so much chaneed, and the ecenosny if working so much attended to, that the hand spun yarns wars tem. pfirely superseded, except for the very .finest cambric loonies. One of the greatest sdvantattes of this system was, that the tow could be spun almost SS floe as flax. The first extensive facility on the wet spinning system crested is Ireland wet in 1828. Abut 1835 a considerable export of verve to Frage. began to fl d its way from Great Britain and Ireland. From three millions of kilogrammes, or about 60 000 ewe ,1. 18;e8, it increased to 10 mileione kilogrammes, or about 200,000 ow'., in 1841. Of this capon Ireland bad . large share, equal to about 300,0001. ; and nearly on fourth of her sondes machinery, in the latter year, was working for France. The yam produced in 1841 were slued at 1,700,0001. Bat the French having plated a heavy dote on oar yarns in 1842, .o great was the check, that in 1843 oar production of perm hid fallen to 1,200,0001, a dif tempo, in two years of halt a million sterling. In last, the Ir sh flax spicners considered this impolitic act of the French govevament as a crushing blow to their trade. That thole gloomy anticipations have not b•eo realised is • moat astir rectory circumstance, and shows strongly the great proven which our linen masafeetore ha eines made. In 1841 there were 41 mills, with 180000 soindles •' this year, 1850, there are 73 mills, with 339,030 spindles ; see d adding the new mills now being built, and the a4ditions of machinery now making to existing concerns, there will be, by the end of this year, about 400,000 spindles in operation." Merest commercial changes hays had a most benelldal effect in extending the maanfastores of linen. It is a feet worthy of note, that almost in the sue pre ream in which the demand for flax ham Maroseed, lm an..ply has diminished. In 1757, before the drat for spinning flex was erected in Great Britain. . lu itn r i e-meunted all the flex which she produced and imported from foreign soantria to the vales of hearty 140,0001. Is 1816, during the @shinier* albs Linea Board. Ireland, in stead of being a flee Importing eciantrv,aetsally hoseme ea exporting eoustry to the errant of 72,5001. Mr. M'Adam, the secretary to the Royal Flax 18 misty, gives the following as the quantities of flex 170•111 ia Ireland in each ol the following ream; —1866, 79,780 acmes; 1806, 61,442; 1811, 92,345; 1814. 61,902; 1818, 83,312; 1821, 80,786; 1841, 83,745; 1842. 93,435 ; 1848, 112.200 1844, 122,888; 1846, 90,112; 1848, 72,120; 1 84 7, 68,31 2 ; 1848, 63,563; 1849, 60,078. La the year 1841, eicoralas to Mr. Wa.deol, there were i n Ireland s ayloyed in the linen trade 41 mills, with 260 000 spindles ; there as in the present year 73 mill. with 339,000 spindl.n, 1,0 ha states " that addle" the new mills now being built, and Ole additions of machinery now melting to existing cnt,. en., the, , •ill be by the end of this year about 400,000 spindles in eyeration."
