A Um:ma contemporary, whose seal is divided between toryism in the church and toryism in the state, and whose sympathies are alternately bestowed on political despotism abroad and ecclesiastical de spotism at home, begins to show impatience at the unsatisfactory position it is constrained to occupy, and to betray its weariness of the controversy which now agitates the national mind. Its own thoughts and wishes upon church matters are, under existinkcir cnmstances, not to be mentioned. Puseyism is at present going about in disguise, or rather in various disguise*, as occasion seems to require. At Oxford it wears one costume, at Exeter another. Bat its own per suit is nowhere to be seen. The times are out of joint, and men are too much in earnest to listen to Paw* and fiddle (addle in affairs of faith. What can an organ in such an exigency say ? Nothing distinct or direst; that would not do. An attempt is therefore made to shift the ground and change the subject. We are assured that the question at issue is not a religious but a " secular " one,—not a speculative but a " practical" one. Polemics are rather ticklish now; do let 94 talk politics. Is Lord Joni the man to be minister of England ?—that is the question. And then if not, who else ? Our con temporary is too delicate to mention names; but there la an evident air of consummate knowingness and feline astuteness, which seems to imply that— then, ones were, and that there may be again, men who never were guilty of frankness or plainness of speech:—they would not have committed themselves as the whigs have done. Had Lord ADERDEEN been at the head'of affairs, we should never have beard him declare thit "he would not be the minister of Austria," or that he looked with indigna tion and scorn upon the mummeries of Pompom. Nothing of the sort. The rule would have been all things to all men, in talk ; while practically, foreign absolutism and domestic apostecy were helped to their ends. This is what is called being practical and discreet. The practical turn which it is sought to give the present uproar is quite in keeping with this simple minded system. The catholics are to be persuaded, if possible, that old tory officials are their only real Mends after all. True it is that the whigs, as a party, submitted to exile from power for five and twenty years, rather than compromise the question of catho lic emancipation. True it is that during their last tenure of office the tories forgot to confer any single post of dignity or profit on those of whose feelings they have suddenly become so careful. True it is that within the last few weeks, regardless of popular Lity and excitement, Lord PALMERSTON has not ted to announce the nomination of the most die tinoruished catholic layman to be minister at Florence; while upon the first mention of the fact the ABERDEEN organs burst forth into a chores of reproach at the appointment of an Irish papist. How dull of com prehension the sui•tlisant fnends of the ancient creed mast suppose its votaries to be when they count upon se t . law Trawler oi ame confidence on such pretences. voice.. but the same spun tin ., There ;7!. mates both Chronicle and Times. To oust tie .:canis ter who dares to set at nought their dictates is their common end and aim. Lord JOAN audaciously pre sumes to laugh at all their artifices, and follows his own counsel, content with being respected by the people and trusted by the crown, though hardly qua lified or perhaps disposed to be what may be called • favourite" with either. The arts of popularity are not among his gifts, still less those of a courtier. Yet he hos studied closely the nature of sovereignty and of opinion; and oftentimes he has displayed more aptitude in fathoming the hidden thoughts and ten dencies that sway the destiny of nations, than those who, cap in hand to prejudice or whim, have daily advertised their consistency foe auction, and had the mortification of finding no bidders who could buy. Such a man as minister is a real grievance to the resctionists, who, for the sake of power and the op portunity of playing the dull game of absolutism abroad and clique-ism at home, are ready to coquette with any section whose discontent they thick may kelp them, nay, with opposite and adverse elements at once by help of shifting scenes. This is the use of two organs simulating severalty and mutual inde pendence. They thus can humour different tastes with different sounds, the burthen of both ditties being defamation. The treble tcne of the one pipes low and indistinct upbraidings of the Plasma, because ho has declared with bitter brevity of speech that all who profess and call them selves protestants are in common honesty bound to adhere to protestant usages, doctrines, and forms. And the thorough-base of the other swells with de nunciation of the minister, because, being bound by treaties, ties, and sympathies to the cause of Prussia, he will not abandon her in the hour of need, norlsegue secretly with the rapacious despots who are SMl spiriog against her integrity and constitutional free dom. Nay, have we not witnessed the violation of royal privacy, and the insolent attempt made openly to dictate to the Queen of ENOLAND who should be her guests, and "shameful menaces shaken o'er her head," if any one unacceptable to Rumia was suffered to enjoy oar sovereign's hospitality! We are no admirers of Lord STANLEY, and no be lievers in his wisdom or discretion ; but we will do him the justice of believing that he is above the meanness of endeavouring to win his way to power by courses such as these. Lord STANLEY is an out spoken man, and carries but one purpose in his breast, of which, whatever 'tide, he makes bat small concealment. He is not the man to scheme for office, or take its grave responsibilities under false pretences. His sentiments on the great quarrel now pending between the Church of England and the Church of Rome, though not yet formally declared, may easily be surmised. His lord ship has, for years, been the foremost adversary of concession to the catholice—the most ancompeo mising champion of the establishment. And were the reins of rule within his grasp, we don't believe that he would put forth his hand to seize them, if in so doing he were told that he was thereby under taking to cozen the catholics with hollow words, or LO leave the door of the Anglican fold ajar, for all to enter who affect to wear sheep's clothing. And hence the silence of the organs in his praise. 'fin not for him they lift their daily notes of approbation or of blame. Hitherto their excuse lay in his point-of honour obstinacy in refusing to renounce protection. But that is and gone : what new pretence will the clique el i e l ree e !for not acknowledging their natural chief and leader ? IN the late memege of the Par.sinawr of the French Republic to its National Assembly, reference was made t, the state of the oommercial relations between France and this country, and a hope was ex pressed that those relations might, by negotiations and reciprocal concessions, be shortly improved. To this wish for improvement all England will very heartily answer, Amen. For nothing can be of greater importance to the welflue of the world, as well as to the maintenance of that sincere and digni fied friendship which it is the earnest desire of every rational Englishman to maintain with France, than to link these two great countries together by their' material interests. At present the good relations of the two nations may almost be mid to webs( from personal intercourse, miming out of their gee graphs:lel proaboity, of the &Weights, which Sol • THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 2, 1850. mutually hold out to each other, of a °mama mission in polities, and of a rivalry in art, literature, and civilisation. These, no doubt, are strong and power fel bonds of connexion, of sympathy, and of reseed. Bat experience has shown how easily they are loosened and give way before offended pride, wounded esesitivecess, and national jimerooder. And tbe .s tz d at e t of July, 1840, the affair of Parra tann, the S marriages, and the more recent occurrences in twos, all testify how readily courts and diplomacy can sue pima idol feeling and ententes cordialei based on per sonal assiderations. What England sad Franco require is to know seek ether better in the every-day concerned Nu tikbeeeme more and more mixed up with nob ether in those great efforts foe the attainment of wealth, for the promotion of comfort, and for the securing ed daily bread to their hard-working, toiling, Ural* peoples, which so honourably distinguish this fleet other ages; to be solidly end permanently COMlllid by means of their industry, their labours, that= ducting, and their manufactures; instead of es now, linked only by the lighter bonds of = led. idelligence, refinement, luxury, proximity, and simd4rity of political organisation and objects. Ile tthe relations of the two countries on seek a e dation would, indeed, be honourable to the we publican form of government; the more honourable, seeing how constantly the monarchical form pro fessed itself anxious, and how constantly it failed, to accomplish so noble a purpose. Equally I honourable it would be for a free trade and liberal administration in England to take a eaccessfal part in what Lord Bacot; would have called ye heroic a work. Most honourable, tco, would it be for both countries, whilst the rest of Europe was on the brink of war, to show them the way to maintain permanent peace. It may, however, well be doubted by those most desirous of seeing e done, whether the best mode of doing it is by diplomatic negotiations or by treaties of commerce. At best these are poor substitutes foe, and generally paltry compromises of, the independent adoption of sound principles. The interference of diplomacy in the affairs of commerce alarms the jealousies, excites the susceptibilities, and opens a door for the intrigues of class interests and favoured trades. France is yet under the im pression that in such negotiations she has generaliy been, ;if not outwitted by, sacrificed to England : the hostility manifested to the great treaty of 1788 still lingers not merely on, but beneath her soil; and, though all the most intelligent of her citizens are just u sound free traders as ours, a large proportion of her uninformed and credulous popula tion entertains a dislike to a treaty of commerce with this country. For, then, such an improvement in our general commercial relations with France as her own interests require, we must probably wait until France becomes convinced—std the truth is gradually, though not very rapidly spreadie.;—ttit il i viculture is er pressen' . , tier navigation deeply injured, and isa beach tiful manufactures seriously restricted by her own, and not by foreign, legislation. This French diplo meg knows; but it is powerless to act on its know ledge until the conviction penetrate as deeply into the public mind of France as it has done into that at England; and when it does, direct legislation will supersede intermediatory diplomacy. In the meanwhile, however, diplomatic negotiations may assist in forcing the great troths of free trade into France by showing how, in minor matters, they may be made to promote French interests. And when, therefore, it is stated, correctly, we believe, that M. DIOUTN DE Lilt vs has returned to London with situations to negotiate some improvement in the minor relations of navigation and commerce between France and England, he will have the best wishes of all free traders for his success : not merely because of what such negotiations are likely to positively 100C111. plish, but, still more, because of the impetus they will in all probability give to sound principles. There is a host of stipulation' in existence on COOP menial points between England and France, but ae general and comprehensive treaty of commerce. The treaty of Utrecht (1710) still confers on Franco the right of fishing on parts of the coast of Newfoundland. The treaty of Paris (1763) is yet in force, giving France similar privileges in the Gulf of St Law rence. And the treaty of Versailles (1783), regulating those rights and privileges, remains part of the public law of Europe. In 1815 we concluded an elaborate convention with France to regulate that small matter, the salt and opium trade with Pondicherry. Later viQ entered into („ woes of inta iijnable length with France on the subject of postage. And in 1839 we interchanged very formidable-looking stipulations with France about oysters. These, with the exception we are about to refer to, are, we believe, the sum total of our commercial con ventions with the greatest nation of Continental Europe. With almost every other country in the world we have exchanged the most favoured nation stipulation. With France we have not, and the con sequence is that in many instances (in coal and iron especially) our trade is placed at a disadvantage in French porta with that of other nations. This, of course, isastatter . which our diplomacy might be well emploYed in rectifying. There is, however, another treaty existing between England and France; it is one of the navigation treaties concluded by Mr. HUSKISSON in 1826; and its objet was to relieve French shipping entering English ports from the higher duties they were then subjected to than other foreign bottoms. It stipulated that French ships should pay no higher tonnage, harbour, light, pilot, or other such dues, in British ports, tha n British teapots; and it conferred the like privileges in French ports on English ships. Nothing, apparently, could be fairer than this ; and yet experience has proved that its operation hu, by the fully of both nations, been very hurtful to both. Bee these dues in France being under the control of the executive goverment, were previously to that treaty very moderate; and in England, being under the control of corporations, they were previously, and have down to the present time remained, excessive. Uader web circumstances, the pure operation d the principle of this treaty would have &la wity considerable relief to English shipping is Wawa porta without very materially reducing the harden es French vessels in English ports. So the French negotiators insisted on reserving to Francs power to regulate the amount of these duties, " ac seeding to the rate at which they are, or may be esta blished in the United Kingdom;" undertaking, how ever, it is only justice to them to add, to reduce the amount in proportion as the English duties might be lowered. The effect of this treaty was, that in France port and light and tonnage dues were raised on all shipping to the hi el standard of those imposts in England. Bat as English trade with France was, and is, on other accounts small; this augmentation did little harm to English compared to the very serious injury it did to French shipping ; and being still pee slated in, it hu at last become quite a national evil to Francs. Yet France is unwilling to remedy that evil because of the injury it does herself; and the treaty of 1828,_ requiring other modifications, M. DEADEN DE L'iIIITII is instructed, in negotiating a new convention, to procure if possible a general re duction of our port dues and so to enable the French government to lower theirs. Thus, in the discussion of • new treaty of naviga tion with France, the whole of our monstrous system of what may be called local burthens on shipping must be overhauled; and u therein the interests of France are identical with those of England, it is to be hoped that Mr. LABODCHERE will do something for the general relief of navigatioa and maritime com merce on this subject. No doubt it is difficult to beat down each &basses§ the Trinity-house has been for 0111d11111111 erjosbating under the name of Light Does, sad the - Reassgste Harbour Commissioners, for ow hundred years, in the shape of harbour tells; ao doubt it is difficult to deal with municipal corporations maintaining the police, am, of their towns out of port dues. Bat these are difficulties that must now be overcome. And if they are overcome at the instance of the French government, British shipping will be much more deeply indebted to that government than French shipping can.

The following telegrsigod7siatehber appear is the Colors* Gantt* et yesterday : " BERLIN, autrusw, Nov. O. " The leading points of the address of the Second Chamber have to-day become known. With reference to the German question it has the following: Deeply do we regret that the temple of the times does not permit the acquirement, at present, of suitable constitutions to the German states. We trait that further efforts to an end which we. emphatically expressed in the May diets (Band nine) may attain the object m view ; to give Germany outward dignity and inward free dom, by a constitution, in which Prussia, after she has with her whole power taken so conspicuous a position in Germany, can take no second place. The revival of the diet, abolished by universal consent, will be perfectly incompatible with this object. Touch ing the Schleswig question it tuna thus : ' We hope that if the settlement of the pending question can not be brought about without foreign interference, the governments of all the Mates of the German union may encored in bringing that conflict to a close.' The programme of the address mentions nothing con cerning the law of the prem. " VIENNA, Nov. 29. "Count Meyeudorff, the Russian envoy, has left, with Prince fichwarxenberg, to be present at the con ference with Herr von MantsuffeL" Our correspondent writes : BERLIN, Nov. 29. The satisfactory arrangement of the affair of Hesse Cassel, and the probably equally honourable settlement of those of Schleswig-Holstein is hardly credited by the majority of those to whom the facts are known. It is too sadden and inexplicable to be believed. The fact is, nevertheless, undoubted. The canes of this sudden change seems to have been a wholesome terror of actual war, equally well-placed fear of the growth of Haitian influence in Germany, and a well timed note of Lord Palmerston's. Mantaffel's journey to Olmutz, and the information from Frankfort have raised the funds. The expulsion of Dr. Heym is creating ill-blood against the government. It was made the 'object of an interpellation in the chamber this morning, but was evaded by the Minister of tie Interior. The debate on the address is died for Tuesday. Lord Westmorland arrived at Berlin on the even ing of the 29th ult. The Deutsche Reform of Berlin 29th says : " We have learnt something distinct concerning the to:.- mentioned note from England. Lord Palmerston hr. sent a cirenlar despatch to all the great powers re specting the part England hes taken in the late per- Viexeit affairs .f Germany. He speaks plainly out, that, in the event of a war , _ England cannot remaw neuter. Both the greet German powers are most warmly exhorted to maintain peace.

The events of this day, which I suppose are already known to you, are welcomed with joy by all our con stitutional party. All are agreed that it will be a happy day for the country when the trcops on both sides are withdrawn. An address hes been drawn up to the Elector, in which he is invited to return to his capital, in terms which must be to him very gratify- ing. The elections in Hesse have this result : Four-fifths of the elections are in favour of the constitutional con servatives. Hansa, the most democratical section of the country, has elected only three radicals against four conservatives. The members and partisans of the present government cannot count amongst their former constituents a single vote. The =enters of the permanent committee elected by the last amembly but one at Stuttgardt have re fused to re-unite at the invitation of the government, who, unwilling to have recourse to that elected by the last dissolved diet. have nominated, as a committee ...rgra with overlookrag the eethiLigrathel of public debt, six members of the refractory committee, who have accepted the office. The Neue Zeitung of Munich announces that the government has ordered the mobilisation of the whole Bavarian army on both sides of the Rhine. Move ments of troops had already commenced in all the garrisons. HAMBIJEG, Nov. 28. The representative assembly of Schleswig Holstein met at Kiel on the 26th. A strong party employed the first sittings to pans resolutions tending to urge the Staathalterschaft to reassume the offensive. The necessity of tempting the fortune of war for the fourth time in Schleswig before it is toe late appears to be generally felt and acknowledged. The chamber does not want to wait for the presence of the federal army, whose avowed and evident work will be a general disarmament, and a reduction of the number of Hol stein troops to the contingent flied by the treatise of 1815. Everything indicates that we shall shortly behold a more general attack on the Danish army in Schleswig. The locations and movements of the Holstein army seem to leave no doubt in this respect. Should the Holsteiners be able, after so many disasters, to obtain some revenge, and to vanquish the Danes on the battle-field, things would take quite another turn in Schleswig; this country might, during the winter season, easily be revolutionised anew, and made to contribute large material and pecuniary resources. The circle of military operations may thus widen on this side and every day may bring na important tidings. The commandant of Rendsburg has signified to the inhabitants that each family most buy in three months' provisions. All persons who have not an assured subsistence are to leave the fortress within a brief period, prescribed by the military authorities. IL O. von Gagers, is still at Rendsburg, as a major in the service of the Duchies ; it does not, however, appear that he has hitherto taken any active part in the engagements that have taken place eines his arrival there. ITALY. NAPLES. Our correspondent states, in his letter of the 24th ult., that important despatches have bcen received from Vienna, proposing that Naples should co-operate in a military way with Austria for the defence of hew Italian provinces, and to replace the Austrian garri sons in Tummy in the event of war breaking out with Prude. (This fact hu already been announced in our columns.) The warehouses of Messrs. Cumming and Wood, old established English merchants, had been closed in , the police authorities on suspicion of harbouring smuggled goods. The American squadron, with Commodore Morgan, is still in the bay. On board the Cumberland frigate • court of inquiry is sitting on Capt. Latimer, against whom several serious charges have been preferred by the officers of his ship. Her Majesty's ship Spiteful is dm in the bay. ROMAN STATES.

FRANCE. PARIS, SATURDAY ETIRIXO. The Prussian news to-day was oonsidered so favour able for the maintenance of_ pesos in consequence of the urney of M. Manteal to Oderberg, that the foods recovered from their recent depression with a sodden force of expansion which exceeded the ex pectations of the moat sanguine " bull." The Fives closed at 92f. 600., with a rise of If. 700. upon yester day. The announcement of the united exertions of France and England to prevent a rupture between the great German powers tended equally to produce this favourable re-action of the market. To-day M. Remasat read to the assembly the report of the oommittee on the bill of the minister of war opening a credit of ten millions for covering the expenses of the levy of 40,000 men. The report, which concluded in favour of the adoption of the bill, repeated all those arguments for the observance of strict neutrality which were used by the members of the majority in the recent debate in the bureaux. In case war should break out, France ought to regard the belligerent parties with complete impartiality. A single cannon shot might disturb the balance of Europe, and the repose of the whole world, and be come the signal fora social war. The committee pro posed unanimously that the chamber should adopt the following resolution :—" The National Assembly, con vinced that the policy of neutrality, such u expressed in the message of the President of the Republic of the 12th of Nov.,s the only policy suitable to France, rues to the discussion of the articles of the bill." The report was interrupted by frequent cheers. Ths adjournment of the motion of M. Cretan to the Ist of March, is a source of no small relief to, the go vernment, and of much satisfaction to the legitimists. The removal of this intrusive question is chiefly due to the exertions of M. Thiers, who has thereby drawn upon himself some unpopularity with the ultra- 1 Orleanists. Only one legitimist, M. de Laroche- Jacquelin, stood up against the adjournment. The great favour shown to M. Creton's motion by the Left, who stood up en masse in favour of its being maintained on the order of the day, has tended considerably to damage it in the eyes of the majority, who gather hence a deeper insight into the attempts which the democratic opposition would make to turn to their own advantage the schism in the majority that would ensue upon the appear ance of the Orleans princes on the soil of France. A considerable number of Prussians have during the last week presented themselves at the Prussian embassy to have their passports rised to return to their country, and to place their services at the dia -1 peal of the government as members of the land wehr. The President to-day paid a visit to the Mint, accompanied by MM. Barocbe, Fonld, and Dumas. A medal in honour of Louis Napoleon was struck in him presence. BUNDAT EVIMING. The report of M. de Remusat, of which I send you a complete translation, is greatly eulogised by all shades of the conservative press, as a state paper of the highest merit. On the other hand, although it was listened to in silence by the Left of the Assembly, the anti-democratic spirit manifested in certain passages has not met with the same t )lerance out of doors, but has drawn severe animadversions from the liberal journals. The passage which insisted upon the good right of Denmark was greatly applauded in the hem ; and the announcement that Russia had, in an authentic document, expressed her intention of adhering to a neutral policy produced much sensation. In speaking of the responsibility which would fall on the head of that power which should, by its imprudent language, necessitate an appeal to arms, it seemed to be understood that the reporter was glancing at Prussia, and his remarks were accordingly cheered by the conservative party, which has ever displayed each a bigoted and irreconcileable hostility against that power. The assurance that France would survey the armed contest, if it should break out, with severe impartiality was received with loud applause. The allusion to the danger of a social war drew forth drer,Leti" in eiteure ;OM :ha ''''' I ' a vague murmur from the Mountain, which was im of the Chamber. The harmony prevailing between the views of the government and those of the com mittee is dwelt upon ; and the difference between the increase made by the prevent levy to the garrisons of the north and east, and the formation of a corps of obeervation, pointed out to the attention, in e marked manner. Another portion of the report which caught the approbation of the Chamber, was the deprecation of all inconsiderate steps on the part of the executive, which should forestall the decisions of the Assembly, and bind its hands by the force of accomplished facts. No remarks worth quoting are presented in any of the papers on the subject. The members of the diplomatic corps provided themselves last night with proofs of the Afoniteur, and sent off the report by special couriers to their _ respective governments. The debate on the credit demanded for the levy of 40,000 soldiers is fixed for Thursday. Two speakers, MM. Charles Dupin and Persigny, are inscribed to address the Chamber in favour of M. Remusat's re port, and nine members of the Mountain in opposition. On Friday night M. Benyer made a long speech, at the meeting of the Rae de Rivoli Club, on the German question, and the proper attitude for France in relation to it, which coincided completely with the views of M. de ltemusat. _ _ . According to the report of General Oudinot on the extraordinary credit of 12i millions for expenses, not included in the budget, the effective of the French army, given in an annexed table, amounts at this moment to 390,000 men and 87,800 horses. The recent levy ordered of 40,000 is not comprised in this statement. The committee proposes, unanimously, the adoption of the credit demanded, after deducting 183,000 ft. set down for the camp of Satory. M. °Witte had an interview with the President yesterday at the Elyse', in order to make the usual announcement of a new member of the Academy, M. Nisard. The Astrolabe in arrived from La Plata with the treaty signed by Admiral Lepredour with Roses. She left La Plata in the beginning of September. The Prony brought the treaty with Oribe. A subscription is opened at the Foreign-office for the succour of the plundered inhabitants of Aleppo. BOURSE. UNITED STATES. The steam ship Africa (Cunard line) arrived in the Mersey 'yesterday (Sunday) morning with intelligence four days later in date than that received dur:ng the past week. She tailed from New York on the 20th ultimo, and brings over 90 passengers, 51,7001. in specie, and the usual mails. Her passage was a very boisterous one—her highest rate of speed was 309 miles in the 24 Imam. _ . . The official returns of the New York state elections show a decrease in the whig ranks, although the candidate for governorship was secured. The result, sa now ascertained, was as follows :—Hunt (whig), 214,353; Seymour (democrat), 214,095; giving a majority of only 258 votes oat of 428,000 foe the whig candidate. The official report of the state vote on the free school question had shown a majority of from 25,000 ' to 30,000 votes against the repeal of the existing law. The New York journals are very largely occupied with speeches of the leading statesmen of the republic. One of these, delivered by the Secretary of State, Mr. Clayton, derives much importance front an allusion to Gene ral Scott's claims on the republic, and an inti mation that he will be put forward as a candidate for the presidency on the next election. The given to the senator by the whip of Delaware, and the spirit which governed the meeting may be inferred from the following toast, which was responded to by . six sheers, proposed by Mr. Clayton :—" Our glorious Union—palsied be the brain, and withered the arm that would dismember it." The Honourable Henry Clay has also addressed his constituents at Kentucky, in a speesh reviewing the exciting topics of the day, and defending and uphold ing the integrity of the Union. The Hon. Daniel Webster has expressed his feelings in favour of the maintenance of . the Union "one and indivisible," in amply given at the Astor House, New York, to a deputation from the Union Safety Committee. Col. Benton (an aspirant for the future presidency), in a speech delivered at the St. Louis Rotunda, Louis ville, warmly denounced Mr. Clay's conduct on the slavery question, and also the proceedings of the anti- Benton party in Missouri. The democratic candidate for the presidency is General S. Houston, of Texas. The owner of the two slaves, Crafts (the attempts to apprehend whom had caused so much excitement at Boston), having appealed to President Fillmore, has received for answer that, in all cases where the requisite legal proof of ownership is produced, the law will be rigidly enforced ; but that, in the OM/ alluded to, the proofs brought forward against the authorities are merely newspaper assertions. The whip and democrats of New Orleans bad merged their differences',and were engaged in prepara tion to give a splendid welcome to Senator Foote, the pro-slavery statesman, on his return from Wash ingtott, The Hon. CoL R. M. Johnson, vice-president of the republic under the Van Buren administration, died on the 19th ult., at his residence in Kentucky state. The speech which George Thompson, M.P., for the I Tower Hamlets, was prevented from delivering at Boston, has been published. It extends over four columns of the New York journals, and is an eloquent defence of democratic institutions, and at the same time strongly denonnces the practice of slavery in the United States. Mr. Thompson delivered an address on the abolition of slavery, in the Belknap-street Church, Boston, on the 18th ult., when he was wel comed with much applause, and the meeting passed off quietly. Additional dissatisfaction was being manifested in many localities at the proceedings carried on under the Fugitive Slave Bill. In some instances, families of the purest white in complexion, and who have mingled with white families for two and three gene rations have been arrested and thrown into prison. The last concert of Jenny Lind at New York was to have taken place on the 22nd ult. A temperance demonstration on a large scale was held at the Tabernacle, New York, on the 18th ult.; 1,700 dollars were collected, including 250 dollars from Mr. P. T. Barnum. Life memberships of the society were bestowed on Mille. Jenny Lind, Presi dent Fillmore, Hon. Henry Clay, Hon. Mr. Clayton, General Cu., Hon. W. H. Seward, Governor Hunt, &c. &c.' The Rev. John Forbes, D.D., and the Rev. Mr. Preston, formerly , episcopaliu clergymen in New Ynrk, received oraination, on the 15th tilt., at the hands of the Right Rev. Dr. M'Cloekey, Roman catholic bishop. We mentioned the other day that the Roman catho lic Archbishop of New York, Dr. Hughes, had arrived in England by the Baltic steamer, on his way to Rome to receive the pallium from e Pope. It ap pun that the demonstrations on his departure from New York were very great, the wharfs, shipping, and quays at either side - being covered with human beings, who cheered most vociferously. The Michigan Central Railroad Depot at Buffalo was destroyed by fire on the 19th. The loss was estimated at 100,000 dola This fire originated in the friction of the machinery ; but incendiary fires were frequent in the neighbourhood. A fire had broken out at Charleston, destroying the foundry of Cameron, WDermot, and Co., and other buildings. Propert y wu lost to the amount of 40,000 dole. The cholera had re-appeared at Indianapolis, and two members of the State Reform Convention had died of the disease. The convention intended to ad journ in consequence. It has been proposed to divert the funds raised some time ago to aid the Irish insurrection towards the promotion of the tenant-right agitation in Ireland. _ _ _ . . The existence of a third ring around Baturn,which bas been some time suspected, has been positively ascertained by the astronomers at Cambridge, Mas. It is interior to the two others, and therefore at less distance from the planet. Submarine electric telegraph wires have been laid down on the bed of the Hudson above Fort Lee, so as to give a free communication with the south and west. The above items include everything interesting in our despatches front the United States. From Canada we learn that there is a rumour that the seat of government is about to be removed 500 miles down the St. Lawrence in June or July next. A temperance meeting at St. Hyacinthe, Lower Canada, teoently excited the people so much against drunkenness, that • mob collected, proceeded to a building occupied as a brewery and distills:7, owned by Mr. Phillips, of La prairie, and entirely demolished it, smashing everything they could lay their hands on. Similar outrages were committed at a neighbouring tavern, and further mischief was threatened. Vill the United Status we have dates has Rio Janeiro to the 29th September.
