The fearful dangers to invalids from spurious imitations of DU BARRY's invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING REVA LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and, upon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of Chancery granted an injunction restraining "Alfred Hooper Nevin, and his agents, under a penalty of £5,000, from selling any article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of which we are the sole pro prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor mation of any breach of the injunction.

As stated in our American news yesterday, the cricket match at Montreal firished on the morning of Tuesday, the 27th ult., in an easy victory for the Eleven of England. The Twenty-two of Canada scored 85 in the first innings, and 63 in the second; total, 148. The Eleven made, first innings, 117 ; second (for two wickets), 32. Caffyn and Jackson bowled against the Twenty-two at first ; but runs being got off the fast bowling, Parr was put on with the "slows," which proved very destructive. The admirable fielding of the Eleven was much admired. There were six thousand spectators present on the last day. The special correspondent of the New York Herald say■ :—"The Eng lish Eleven play splendidly, and it is a picture to see them ; but they will find their equals in the Twenty-two at Hoboken." We give the score of the Eleven below : - THE ENGLISH ELEVEN. First Innings. SecOnd Innings. Grundy b Hastings 2 Wisden c Hardinge b Fisher H a yward Tun out 17 c Bonner bJ.

The ^ 11; yal Cardiganshire Rifle Regiment of Militia, having completed their 21 days' training, were on Friday last inspe c t e d at Aberystwitb by Lieut.-Col. Nugent, the inspector officer from Pem broke Garrison. The regiment, which was under the command of Senior Capt. James Lloyd Philipps (in the absence through illness of Lieut.-Col Powell, M.P.), was in a very efficient state, and the officers and men were highly complimented by Col. Nu gent. In the evening Col. Nugent was entertained by the officers of the regiment at a banquet at the Gogerddan . Arms Hotel, which was also attended by many civilian guests. The officers present with the corps were—Capt. James Lloyd Philipps (in command), Capt. John Lloyd Philipps, Capt. and Adjt. Durham, Lieuts. Richardes, Hughes, and Lewis, and Ensign Thomas. The half-yearly inspection of the Suffolk Militia Artillery took place at Portsmouth yesterday. Sir James Y. Scarlett, K.C.8., commanding South- West District, accompanied by Col. U. T. Lake, C. 8., commanding the Artillery in the district,pro ceeded to the parade ground of the Colewort Bar racks, where the men were drawn up at two p.m. The usual marching past in slow and quick time followed, after which the men were marched to the ramparts and put through the great gun exercise, at the conclusion of which Major-Gen. Scarlett ex pressed to Col. Shafto Adair, commanding the Suf folk, his gratification at the appearance and disci pline of the troops under his command. The num bers on the parade were :-12 officers, 13 sergeants, 6 corporals, 177 gunners and drivers, and 5 trum peters. The gallant General had previously in spected the regimental and defaulters' books, the barrack rooms, &c., with which he had expressed his perfect satisfaction. THE BUILDERS' STRIKE. Yesterday commenced the 10th week of the lock-out, and the 12th of the strike, and although the struggle has been a most protracted one there is as little disposition as before on the part of the men to give up the principle for which they have contended. _ Yesterday the conference made another dividend to the men on the same terms as last week, viz.-4s. to the lock outs, and Bs. and 12s. each to Trollope's men. The follow ing is the official return of the numbers and amount paid : s. d.

It is stated that Baron Rothschild has given notice to Mr. Myers, the builder, that he will not allow the works at his mansion in Piccadilly to be longer suspended, merely because he wishes the men to sign a declaration. a. THE E'EN SHAM COMMISSION.—The vicar of Eyns barn has been served with notice that the commission of in quiry into the charges alleged against him by the late churchwarden 2 Mr. J, Druce, will be held at the Red Lion public house, in Eynsham, on Friday, the 14th inst., at 11 o'clock. The vicar, under the provisions of the statute, has intimated to the commissioners his determination that the proceedings shall be public. TILE STEAM FRIGATE ORLANDO. PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY. The first trial of this new steam frigate took place on the 12th of September, on the measured mile outside the breakwater, whop an average speed of 13 2-10ths knots was obt2ined. It was then consi dered that her build and engines justified the expec tation tl:at a greater rate of speed could be obtained from her, and some alterations were suggested. As the cutting off of the corners of the fans of the Mersey, a sister ship, had been attended with suc cessful results, it was determined to adopt the same course by the Orlando, and two pieces 5 feet 4 inches long, by 2 feet 71 inches wide, weighing 5 cwt., were removed. It was also resolved to trim her nearer to the depth designed by Sir Baldwin Walker —viz., 21 feet forward and 23 feet aft. Two of her upper deck guns were therefore placed on the main deelr. and most of the shot was removed from the racks to the provision and bread rooms to compen sate for the absence of the sea stores. In this condition she started for a second trial on Wednesda-, when she drew 20 feet 10 inches for ward, and 22 feet 9 inches aft. Nothing has been done to her sternpost. The weather was very fine, and the Orlando, - which is now in charge Of Mr. George Marsh, additional master of the Wellington, was piloted by Mr. Paull, second master-attendant of Devonport Dockyard. Capt. Robinson and Commander Risk, who are at the head of the steam reserve in Plymouth, with hands from the Wellington, superintended the ex periment. Mr. Trickett, chief engineer of Keyham, watched the working of the machinery on the part of the Admiralty, and Mr. Wigzell was in charge of the engines on behalf of Messrs. Penn and Son, the manufacturers, this being what is termed a " contractor's trial." There were scarcely any visitors besides the Earl of Morley and Admiral Kingeombe. Capt. Rice, of the Royal Albert, Capt. Stewart, of the Impreg nable, and Capt. Roderick Dew, of the Encounter, were on board ; also the engineer of the Royal Al bert, Mr. Rumble, who, with several engineer cadets belonging to that ship, paid frequent visits to the engine -room. As the Orlando passed through the Sound she be came an object of great interest to the crews of the ships belonging to the Channel fleet and of the Dutch and Brazilian ships of war at anchor there. On nearing the Western Channel when additional steam wus put on to prepare for the trial, most dis agreeable evidence of the continuance of the former vibrating tendency was given. It is true that the reduction of the fans had diminished the evil ; the lower masts did not jump so much as formerly, nei ther did the :rigging oscillate to the same extent, but there was yet enough of trembling to make the extremities, the bow especially, most unpleasant, and the rigging, for a sailor engaged on it, most dangerous. The mean result of the trial gave 12.9 knots ; average revolutions, 52-1 ; jnean pressure, 201 b. ; indicated power, 4,200 horses. On the first trial the average rate estimated by the engineer was 13.2 ; revolutions, 50 ; pressure, 201 b, ; indicated power, 4,200 horses. _ _ It will thus be seen that, instead ®f advancing, the condition of the Orlando has actually retro graded, a tact which took every one on board by surprise. How it occurred, after cutting the cor ners off the fans and altering the pitch of the screw from 32 ft. 6 in. to 29 ft. 9 in., seemed most unac countable. If these alterations had done nothing it was reasonably hoped that the altered trim would have had some beneficial effect on her speed. After the third run guns and shot were carried forward, so as to trim her probably three inches less by the stern, which apparently had a beneficial effect. In relation to the weather it may be observed that on the second trial the wind was light,frem the north, with occasional:breezes ; but there was a long ground sweel, which did not prevail when she went out first. The rolling of the ship caused by the swell was calculated to have the effect of dimi nishing the revolutions two per minute. In the description of the Orlando which appeared in The Sun of Sept. 13, it was stated that in order to distribute the weights, the boilers were placed before the mainmast, and the engines seated aft. _ _ There is a distance between the two of about 40 ft., and it is computed that, as the steam passes through this length of pipe, a loss of 211 b. in the pressure involved. The condition of the engines is perfectly satisfac tory ; they continue to work smoothly, and there is no appearance of hot bearings anywhere. In order to improve the steerage of the frigate, an iron yoke with arms nine feet long has been fittei at the head of the Norman. The wheel-ropes now lead more direct, and much greater leverage is obtained. The original short yoke remains where it was fitted, close to the deck. The frigate con tinued to port her helm, a tendency attributed by tho quartermasters to the operation of the screw, which is left-handed. The alteration of the steer ing gear has been very successful, and full control is now obtained over the rudder. Yesterday a third trial of the Orlando took place in the presence of Admiral-Superintendent Sir T. Pasley and Captain H. Caldwell, C. 8., of the screw steam frigate Mersey, 40. The same staff was on board. She was run on the measured mile by Mr. Marsh. The two heavy forecastle guns brought aft on the previous occasion were replaced on the fore castle. Her draught forward was 21 feet 2 inches; aft, 22 feet 5 inches, which made her what is termed 15 inches by the stern ; the screw was just im mersed. The weather was very fine, the sea smooth, and there was no ground swell. Force of wind, 4. The alteration of the weights appeared to have de creased the remaining vibration, and to have cor rected the porting of the helm. The mean speed obtained was 13.16 knots ; maximum, 13.43 ; revo lutions, 53 to 53 per minute ; pressure of steam, 201 b. ; indicated power exerted by the engines, 4,200 horses. As a result of all the trials of the Orlando, her speed may now fairly be put at 13 knots. THE NEW STEAMSHIP DELTA. SOUTHAMPTON, Oct. official trial trip of this beautiful vessel took place to-day, and the high expectations that had been entertained as to her performances w ere fully rea li se d . Sh e l e ft th e docks a few minutes before 11 o'clock, and pro ceeded to Stokes Bay, where s h e ran the measured mile four times, with the following results :-Ist run (to eastward, against tide), 4 min. 11 sec., 14.342 knots per hour ; 2d run ( to westwar d, s l ac k tide), 4 min. 15.000 knots per h our ; 3d run (to eastward,l slack tide), 4 min. 4 sec., 14.754 knots per hour ; 4th run (to westward, against little tide), 4 min. 11 sec., 14.342 knots per hour. Average of the four runs, 14.609 knots, equal to 16.830 geogra phical miles. Ist run, 201 b. p ressure o f s t eam , 251 revolutions, 25 vacuum ; 2d run 201 b. pressure of steam, 252 revolutions, 242 vacuum ; 3d run, 2021 b. pressure of steam, 251 revolutions, 242 vacuum; 4th run, 2011 b. pressure of steam, 251 revolutions, 242 vacuum ; mean, 201 b. 2011 b. pressure of steam, 241 vacuum, Draught of water, 14 feet 11 inches, both fore and aft. Weight of coal on beard, 300 tons; water, 30 tons. Indicated horse-power of engines, 1,612.96 ; nominal hcrse-power, 400. As has been previously stated, the engines are by Penn, trans ferred from the Valetta. The Delta is fitted with Lamb and Summer's boilers; and after she has made one or two voyages to test her consumption of coal the patent superheating steam apparatus will be ap plied to her. Among the company on board to witness the trial we noticed Mr. Arthur Anderson and Mr. De Salis, directors, the former gentleman accompanied by Mrs. Anderson and nieces ; Messrs. Hughes and Luke, Admiralty surveyors ; Messrs. Rubie and Murray, surveyors to the Board of Trade; Captain Engledue (Peninuslar and Oriental Company's superintendent at Southampton), Mr. A. Lamb (superintending engineer), Mr. Peter Rolt and Captain Ford (of the Thames Iron Ship building Co m p an y) ; Mr. James Ash, the designer of the ship ; Mr. Penn, the builder of her engines; Captain Kerlock, Captain Kirton, Mr. N. H. Beaze ley, Mr. T. Fal ve y, Mr. E. Lane, &c. After leaving Stokes Bay the Delta was taken down the Solent, running some distance outside the Needles, and re turned into dock about 4.30 p.m., a sumptuou s ban quet being served in the main saloon during the return home. There was a good band on board. The weather was delightfully fine, and every per son performances present of the vessel plea sed . the highest yet attained on the measured av erage le—viz., 14.609 knots, the three nearest being the Shannon, The with Delta's the trip rip and s the i 14.412 ; the Malta, 14.134 ; the Paramatta, 14'092. She is decidedly the handsomest model ever seen in these waters, on which float some of the finest steamships in the world, and her beautiful lines and light and graceful rig . are much admired by every body, whether professional men or amateurs. The Delta is commanded by Captain Black, and leaves on Wednesday for Alexandria with the Australian and Bombay mails. We ( Inverness Courier) understand that the ball and banquet to be given to the officers and men of the 78th Highlanders are to come off on the 21st inst. His Grace the Duke of Richmond is expected to be present, and there is a probability that his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge, who is to visit Gordon Castle in the course of this month, will honour the meeting with his presence. VOLUNTEER _RIFLEMEN AT ji HE. An interesting paper has' been delivered at Birkenhead by Captain V. A. king, of the 2d Cheshire Rifle:., on the Rifle .Practice at the Hythe School of Musketry. Captain KING said,—You will perhaps like to know what we did afilythe, and I will try to tell you as briefly as possible.' We assembled there on Saturday, the 23d of July ? and reported ourselves to the General. Now, a 'word about Major-General Hay ; he is a fins, handsome man, of very pleasing manners, and much beloved by all about him ; he is a splendid shot, and is seldom seen without his rifle in his hand. There were 42 of us from all parts of the kingdOni, of all classes; there were two peers, Earl Spencer and Earl Pomfret ; there were country gentle men, there were barristers, there were men from the Universities of Oxford and Edinburgh, there were merchants, there were tradesmen—all classes, in fact. We reqtf red no introduction ; we were good friends as soon as we met. We felt We were all brethren who had a grand national ob ject in view, the defence of our native land, and this was sufficient • introduction. The peer was treated with no more respect than the tradesman, or the tradesman than the peer ; and here.let me say, for the honour of the aristocracy of England, that the peers worked quite as hard as any of us, there was no distinction ; they were drilled by the sergeants just the same as all of us.' On Monday, the 25th of July, we assembled in the barrack tent—a rifle, knee-cap, and book of instruc tions were delivered to each of us. Wo were then formed into six sections, containing from six to nine each. We were No. 1 Section, and con sisted of the seven men from the four companies:in thie neighbourhood. We were then ushered into the lecture-room to, hear a _few words from the General. He told us he was a warm friend of the volunteer movement, which he would do all in his power to forward, as he considered it essential to the safety of the country. He thanked us for our zeal in coming so far for instruction, and stated that it would give both him and his staff the great est pleasure to impart to us all they could in the very limited time we had for the course. He then stated that if the volunteer forc e could not shoot they were worse than useless, for " suppose," said he, " there were 200,000 volunteers enrolled, and Government depended on them, and when the hour of trial comes it turns out that not one of them can shoot, why, then, it must be clear we had much better not have a volunteer force at all ; for, if they could not shoot, we should be hanging on a rope of sand. Much better to have 20,000 men, or even 2,000 men who can shoot, than 200,000 who cannot." He then combatted and ridiculed the popular error which has been so much dwelt upon of late in the newspapers, that nothing but plenty of ball practice would ever make men good shots. He told us that such practice only perpetuated error, in fact, made it worse ; that he could bring forward many instances where men shot worse and worse by mere practice. He told us that the less shooting we had previously had the better ; for those of us who had never fired a gun were most probably the best, as he had merely to teach us to shoot, while those of us who had been in the habit of shooting were probably the worst, as he would have first to break them off bad habits, and, until they were broken off th em , it was useless to teach them to shoot. He then told us that it was position drill alone which could teach us to shoot ; the more of this a man had the better. A man had never had too much of position drill until he had not a single fault. The first object of this position drill was to teach men to shoot without ever firing a shot; and I have not the slightest doubt that this can be done, I am certain of it. He told us that we volunteers ought to be such good shots that our fire would be effective at 600 to 900 yards ; for it would not be safe to employ us in the field at a less distaneU than this, as, of course, our drill and discipline could not be expected to be such as would enable us to come close quarters with such troops as the Z3uaves, 'or instance. Ho then told us that it was an extra- ordinary fact that the riflemen of the British arm; shot worse than any other troops until the last f:N . ; years. He asked if there were any volunteer rifle men present who had been embodied some years. There was a gentleman from South Devon. The General asked him if they practised aiming drill ? He said, " No." " Exactly so," said the General, "you, like all the rest, are Riflemen only in name." He told us that the great object of the instruction at Hythe was to raise the intelligence of the soldier, to make him consider himself an unit, and not a machine. This, from my short experience, I can fully bear out ; I feel certain the course of instruction is framed for this object. Now. gentlemen, 1 will tell you our daily work for the first week. The course of instruction was cleaning of arms, theoretical principles, aiming drills, posi tion drills, judging distance drills. In the cleaning of arms we were not only taught to clean our rifle, but every part •f the weapon was named and ex plained to us. We were taught to dismount and re mount the lock, and name every part of it. After all this explanation we were questioned, to ascer tain if we understood all which had been told us. The lectures on theoretical principles explained clearly to us the force which drives the bullet for- ward, the force which stops its flight, the force which draws it to the ground. The course of the bullet through the air was clearly described, and the reason of having to take a greater elevation when firing at a very distant object. In the aiming drills we placed our rifle upon a tripod, with a sand bag at the top, and laid our aim at the target at all distances, from 150 to 900 yards. After laying the aim, it was examined by one of the staff, or the sergeant, who pointed out any fault that might be in the aim, such as too full or a little to the left or to the right. In the position drills we were taught to handle the rifle, to bring the body in the proper position for firing, to bring the rifle to the "present" quickly and steadily. We were taught always to aim at an object, and never to draw our trigger until we had aligned the eye, the object, the back sight, and the fore sight. The greatest pains were taken with us in this position drill, as it is the foundation of good shooting. In judging distance drills, we were marched out to• the shingles, where points were placed at different distances for us to observe, and we then had to judge the distance of men placed at various distances from us. We were many of us at the barrack-yard at 6.30 a.m. for an extra drill. We assembled at 9.30 a.m., and were worked till 1 p.m. ; then assembled at 2.30 p.m., and worked till 4.40 p.m. ; then each section went to the quarters of one of them, and discussed and questioned each other on all they had heard during the day ; work was over at 7 p.m., when we dined. So, you see, your representatives were not idle. On Monday, the Ist of August, we fired blank cartridge, and on Tueslay we began firing ball cartridge, and then commenced such excitement as I never witnessed before. The first course was ! the third class. We fired five rounds at 150 yards, five at 200 yards, five at 250 yards, and five at 300 yards ; and, if we did not make 15 points, we were kept in the third class. Our gallant lieutenant made 29 points ; another man, Warner, of Oxford, made the same ; and this was the largest score. I only made 14 points, and, like all blockheads, was kept in the third class ; but. I have the satisfaction to say, I got out of it. and am now a second-class man. Lieutenant Homer is a first-class man, and En- sign Bower, of the Rockferry Company, has the honour of being a marksman. The second class was five rounds at 400 yards, five at 500 yards, five at 550 yards, and five at 600 yards. It was necessary to make 12 points out of these to get into the first class, and 17 of our whole number stuck in the second class. The first class was five rounds at 650 yards, five at 700 yards, five at 800 yards, and five at 900 yards. And it was necessary to make seven points out of these to become a marksman, and there were no less than 14 who did this. This practice lasted from Tuesday to Saturday, and I cannot describe to you the excitement of it. It exceeded anything I ever saw. Hunting, or "cricket, or boating is nothing to it. I felt, when I saw it, that there was no mistake about the volunteer movement; and there is no reason why there should not be the same excitement when the Cheshire companies march from their parade ground for ball practice as there was at the barrack yard at Hy the. I ought to tell you that we subs cr ib e d for three ri fl es—one e for the best shot of th e w h o l e ; one for ti b est shot of the right win g ; one f or t h e best shot o f the left first wing. Warn er , o f O x f or d , won the ; Robert Tinley, of Liverpool, the second ; Coxe, of Derby, the third. I cannot attempt to describe to you the excitement on Saturday afternoon. The struggle was between Warner and Tinley for the first prize —they were firing at 600 yards. There were many spectators, and as each of these men knelt to fire there was not even a whisper heard ; all seemed afraid even to breathe. They both got 11 points—a tie ; but Warner won, as in the previous classes ho had made 53 points, and Tinley 51. Tinley had un fortunately twice aimed at the wrong target., and hit it, and these two points did not count, otherwise Warner and Tinley would have been ties through out. On Monday we fired 10 rounds file firing, 10 rounds volley firing, and 10 rounds skirmishing. or fired ea r e The last is beautif u l wor k.

Allroets Nbi-sahaircleyh: duced to figures: There cannot be a doubtabout who shot best and who shot worst. The shooting is esti mated by figures, which cannot tell lies. I willnow give you the figures of merit of each section. No. 2 Section stands first—namely, first period, 22.00; fil e firing, 11 . 66; volley firing, 10.00 ; skirmishing, 5.00; total, 50.66. No. 4 Section.=First period, 20.66 ; file firing, 11.55; volley firin6-, 9.664 skir mishing, 7 . 88; total, 49.64. No.. o S ec ti on. —Fi rst period; 18 . 00 ; file firing, 13.28 ; volley firing, 11.71; skirmishing, 7 . 88 ;. total, 48.82. No. 6 Section— First period; 21.14 ; file firing, 10 , 10 ; volley firing, 11.33 ; skirmishing, 5.33 ; total, 47.96. N o . 1 Sec tion—First period, 1814; file Sring, 13 . 00 ; volley firing, 9.16 ; skirmishing, 3-83; total, 44-13. No. 3 Section—First period, 17 . 00; file firing, 12.66 ; volley firing, 8 . 00; skirmishing, 3 . 66 ; total, 41 . 32. And the mean average figure of merit of the bat talion was as follows, namely :—Single Third Class, 19.36 ; file firing, 12.08; volley firing 10.13 ; skir mishing, 5.50 ; total, 47.07. Which means that out of 50 rounds each man on an average had made 47.07 points. Some, of course, had not done so well, and others had done much better. I winnow give you the comparison with officers and soldiers who had passed through the previous three courses at liyttie. You will no doubt be certain that we volunteers were a long way behind them ; for bear in mind they bad 16 position drills —we had only six ; they have a preliminary course of 20 rounds of ball cartridge—we had not; any, but fired, at once in the third class. - The mean averages are as follows : 7 -1859, January =officers, -46 08 ; soldiers, 43.97. April—officers, 46.94 ; soldiers, 44 . 35. July officers, 45.62 ; soldiers, 42.62. The mean of this is—officers, 46.25 ; soldiers, 43.65. The General was surprised at this result he said he expected us •to beat the soldiers, because, in shooting, intelligence is what tells, but he could not understand our beating the officers. He could only account for it by the fact that we had worked so much harder. You see, gentlemen, we have done you no discredit. On Monday night we gave the General and his Staff a splendid dinner; and on Tuesday we left Hythe with heavy hearts, for we all felt we were leaving kind friends ; for, from the General and his Staff we had met with nothing but kindness and atten tion. If ever it is my lot to visit Hythe again, I should be certain of a warm welcome. Gentlemen, I think it right to tell you all this, because I feel I have been at a great school, and, as a good dis ciple, I ought to try and impart the knowledge I have obtained to others. I aai proud of your drill already ; but I will tell you what I shall be much prouder of—to see you, at your first ball practice, show a mean average of 47; others have done it, and why should ,not you? While at Hythe ice formed a volunteer association, the object of which is to hold a meeting in some part of the 'country once a year, where rifles will be shot for. Now, there is nothing to prevent one of the fine fellows I see before me winning the first prize, and a high honour it will be. All Ican say is that the man who wins it mast work for it. PalmaM qui meruit fora t. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Monday Morning. ANOTHER PAPAL MANIFESTO. The pastoral letter of Dr. Cullen, read. yesterday in all the chapels of Dublin, runs to such an extra ordinary length in the paper as to defy any attempt at even a summary of its contents. It is manifestly intended to be a great State paper for the instruc tion of the faithful. The main subjects discussed are the well-thrashed question of education and the perilous position of the Popedom. Of the first no thing new is to be said, but as the Italian difficulty is just now the topic of the day it may be as well to hear what the Pope's delegate in Ireland thinks of the crisis in the affairs of the Church of Rome. Leaving the question of education, Dr. Cullen turns to what he calls another illustration of " hypocrisy and bigotry acting under the mask of a desire to put down oppression and support the rights of man." He then proceeds as follows : " During the past month we must have all ob served that the most wicked attempts have been in cessantly made to misrepresent and malign the acts of the supreme Head of the Church on earth ; and especially the temporal administration of his States. In order to persuade the world that the meekest and kindest of men, Pius IX., was a tyrant and an oppressor of his people, statements based upon falsehood and calumny have been recklessly circu lated in the press, and every wicked art employed to show that he was unfit and unworthy to retain any temporal authority. At the same time the Pope's Prime Minister, a man who had displayed extraordinary abilities in managing public affairs, in most difficult and critical times—a man of unim peachable integrity and most virtuous and edifying in his life, a patron and encourager of the fine arts was insulted in the most unworthy manner ; and calumnies against him widely circulated on the authority of a French scribbler, whose ignorance and impudence were only exceeded by his malignity. That many of our statesmen, both Whig and Tory, Liberal and Conservative, rivals for the support of fanatics, took part in this vile combination appears not only from their published speeches and declarations, but also from the diplo matic despatches of a late Minister, Lord Malmes bury, of Lord Loftus, Sir J. Hudson, and other Bri tish agents, who, in a manner unworthy of their high rank, urged France and Austria to rob the Pope of his dominions, and to perform, in contempt cf public honesty, an act of injustice which they were ashamed to undertake themselves. While this spirit prevails in high places, we are not to be sur prised that a committee should be projected in Eng land, of which the Evangelical Lord Shaftesbury has provisionally accepted the presidency, for the purpose of arming a band of rebels in Bologna, con sisting in part of outlaws and strangers to that country, and aiding them in their wicked opposition to their just and humane sovereign, our Holy Father Pius IX. And here let us ask, is it not by hypocrisy of an extraordinary character in men to encourage treason and sedition, and trample on the laws of the Gospel, while they assume the name of Evangeli cals, and glorify themselves, like the Pharisees, as models for the imitation of mankind ? " It would be impossible to notice all the attacks that are directed by the press against the Pope's authority, and perhaps it would be almost useless to answer them ; for they are made by persons blinded by passion, and inaccessible to reason, who appear to have nothing in view but to inflict a wound on the Head of the Church. It is not hatred of oppres sion or love of freedom that animates them, but a virulent hatred of Catholicity, and of that rock on which it stands, and will stand for ever. But with out entering into lengthy discussions, it may not be useless to notice one or two of the arguments gene rally alleged on this question. " The first and principal ground of complaint against the Pope appears to be that he is not willing to extend to his dominions that liberal form of Go vernment which, under English influence, and with the applause of the British press, has been in troduced into the Kingdom of Sardinia by its Ministers, Cavour and Rattazzi. But is there any thing in the fruits obtained in that kingdom by the liberalised form of Government to induce the Pope to adopt it ? What has been the effect of the re forms of those applauded Ministers? Under their auspices the property of convents and monasteries has been confiscated, nuns and friars dispersed, priests and bishops exiled or persecuted, the rights of the church invaded, heresy and error patronised, and the fountains of knowledge poisoned by anti- Catholic and Infidel teaching. All this has been done under the name of progress and liberality; bat, to show how hypocritical is such a pretence, we may add that the boasted liberty of the press has been assailed, every Catholic newspaper suppressed, and intolerable and most oppressive burdens placed upon the people, so that under the care of the friends of progress, and those who are put forward as models of good statesmen, a country which 12 years ago was happy and fl our i s hi ng i s now a l mos t reduced to a state of utter destitution and bank ruptcy, and groaning under a fearful despotism. But, forsooth, their liberal institutions are a suffi cient compensation for all their losses and miseries! It is enough that the Catholic Church is robbed and oppressed ; this is sufficient consolation for British Evangelicals in their aspirations for freedom ,• they are perfectly satisfied with the hypocritical liberty which gives to a violent and anti-Catholic minority 4 1,, '7 4 -1 00 8 V -4 c17 4 : ,c4 L . , K / /. -..'\------, .• . / - C.----:"1-7 4- ' • ~,, ...::.----: .----' AS the power to insult a d enslave the CatioHelier ) jority of th e i r f e ll ow•c i t ii ens. . I "Nor is it the , example alone of Sardinia that is calculated to make the Popehesitate about listening to the counsels of treacherous friends. He cannot forget the scenes that were enacted in his State in 1848; Under the Government then established in accordance with the Mazzinian views of the Evan gelical propaganda, everything was confusion and anarchy—property was widely cOnfiscated, assassi nation was encouraged, and a reign of terror pre vailed. Among other misdeeds, I recollect that an Irish ecclesiastic,Rev.Mr,Keleher,wa s barbarously murdered at noonday, in Ancona, merely because he was - a - . vital-, and known .ti be attached ..tis the Pepe's jaUthes ity. At present, under the rkewly proclaimed Liberal Government in .lEmilia neither life nor property is iespect4 • With such results bellire - liis,eyes it is scarcely -,l i t` expect e d that the Pope sh ou ld consen t to apPly%the Sardi nian system _of _government to his States; and we are petsuaded that he would rather encounter the indignation of Lord Shaftesbury and his evangeli cal friends than sanction reforms whose only merit consists in plundering and oppressing the Catholic Church; and in persecuting even to death her de voted children. ' "Another ground of complaint which is con tinually repeated is- that the people of the Pope's States are dissatisfied, that foreign troops are em ployed to keep them in obedience, and that misery, poverty, and crime abound in them, In answering this objection it is necessary to recollect that no human institution is free : from defects, and that no Government can render all its subjects rich, happy, and contented. I Political economists and enthusi astic statesmen' sometimes proniise to bring back the golden age, and to banish misery from this world ; but their schemes are Mere delusions. This earth is -only apiece of exile and banishment, where man's lot into suffer and to earn his bread with the sweat of his brow. There will be always poverty in this world, and we are to recollect that it is not a crime to be poor,ler, our Redeemer himself, and the blessed Virg' ,--71 and the Apostles -were poor ; and our Lord has , said ' Blessed are - the poor.' Crimes will always disgrace this earth, for the children of Adam, tainted by original sin, are prone to evil and disobedieeke. Hence, even in the great est and best governer. states, there were restless spirits seeking for changes, which frequently onl7 aggravated their miseries; and mutinies, and &edi tions, and rebellions spring up from time to time. Even the British empire is not exempt from such evils, and very lately it has been considered expe dient to repress them in India by fire and sword, by destroying and pillaging great cities, and even by blowing unfortunate soldiers to pieces from the mouth of the cannon. . " The Pope has never found it necessary to have recourse to such violent measures, and his paternal heart never would sanction them. But if great and powerful States cannot always satisfy all their sub • jects,is itjust to pretend thatthe sovereign of a small territory, and comparatively weak should succeed in so arduous an undertaking? Undoubtedly there are poor in the Pope's : States, but the re i s none of that squalid and degrading poverty whi c h you see in London and the great cities . ofEngland ; and'we never heard of millions of his subjects dying of famine, or having been turned out by exterminat ing agents to perish of want on the high roads. There are crimes, of course, in the,Pepe's States, but yet you do not hear of continual 'Child murdering, nor of systematic poisoning, nor do you witness that degrading and scandalous exhibition of immorality which renders it impossible for a stranger to pass throUgh many British cities Without" being shocked and horrified. Unhappily, too, thereis some discon tent in a part of the Papal territory, but it is not general, and does not. extend to any considerable portion of the inhabitants; and. what is more, it owes its origin to foreign influence, and to the in trigues and emissaries of secret and bible societies, and frequently to English money. The leaders of the party opposed to the Pope in 1848, Garibaldi and Mazzini, were strangers; the troops that fought in favour of rebellion were generally Lombards, Swiss, Poles, and exiles from every part of Europe. There were scarcely any Romans killed during the siege of Rome, which shows that they were not very anxious for the success of the revolution. Lord Shaftesbury and his friends are scandalised at the prevailing discontent. But mark their hypo crisy. The money about to be collected by that lord's proposed committee will, without doubt, be employed to excite and spread disaffection to a greater extent ; thus bringing about the state of things of which they complain. " Now, while the Pope is assailed by evangelical committees and statesmen,by biblical emissaries and foreign money, why should he not call on strangers to aid in preserving his authority ? Every prince has a full right to do so, and the Pope more than any other; for in reality those who are called on to assist him cannot be considered strangers, as all Catholics are his -children -and spiritual subjects, and all feel it a right and a duty to contribute to the defence of him who is con tinually watching over the interests of their souls. Besides, the connexion of the Pope with Catholic countries is so intimate that he may always be cer tain that some noble-minded and religious prince,' imitating the glorious example of Pepin and Char lemagne, of Otho and Matilda, will be found ready to give assistance to him as the vicar of Christ, and to preserve his rights. This has frequently hap pened in past ages—it has happened even in our own days ; and hence the Pope does not consider It is desirable to maintain a large army, or to introduce military conscription into his States, especially as his character of common father of all the faithful obliges him to cultivate peace with all his children, and to maintain amicable relations with the whole world." Meanwhile, the first fruits of the Bishop's pastoral are made manifest in the following statement copied from the Carlow Sentinel. As example is contagious there will doubtless be no lack of similar announce ments from other quarters : " The late pastoral issusd by the Roman Catholic prelates against further connexion with the Na tional Board of Education, and a united system of education, has already been carried into effect in Carlow. The schoolmaster acting hitherto under the authorities at Marlborough-street has been dis missed, and the school is now under the manage ment of the Christian Brothers. The national school books are laid aside, and all mementoes of the Board obliterated by this new order of religious instructors. On Monday large crowds of children of both sexes visited the private residence of the Christian Brothers, where they were registered and classified, after which books and hisms, of course permissu sapertoruna, were distributed at a smart price to the poor, thus blotting out the Na tional Board from the map of Carlow. This is the first intimation that came under our notice of the war against the National Board. How far the people of Ireland will accept the new decree, and carry it out in all its integrity, remains to be seen. Ultramontanism aims at nothing short of an Italian ascendancy in this country." THE DOON EVICTIONS. The Tipperary Examiner understands that it is in contemplation to. hold the meeting to protest against the extermination of Lord Derby's tenants in Doon, either in the city or in the immediato vici nity of the city of Limerick, the portion of the Derby estates about to be cleared being situate in the county of Limerick. The requisition will pro bably be addressed either to the High Sheriff of the county or to the mayor of the city, THE WESTMINSTER BELL. We (Tines) have received another abusive letter on the Westminster Bell from Mr. E. B. Denison, which we do not mean to publish. When Mr. Denison wishes to make a plain and reasonable statement on this subject our columns shall be ,open to him as they have often been before; but so long as he continues in his present frame of mind, pouring out peals of jarring abuse, not only against our selves, but against everyone else who dares to say a word on the subject which does not chime with his fancy, we must consider him somewhat in the position of his own bell—as something to be taken down—to be lowered from that position as speedily and. as silently as possible. We are indeed quite at a loss to imagine what there can now be left for Mr. Denison to do in this line. 'The clock is finished at last and going. The bell, and not one bell, but two, which he designed and certified to, are gone —wretched failures—cracked brass and nothing more. The last of these was, according to Mr. Denison's theory, imperfect and a fraud when he certified to it. Why, then, did he pass it ? Where was his judgment ? According to another supposi tion, it was not imperfect at first, but cracked afterwards, either from the way it was struck or the way it was hung, for both of which operations Mr. Denison was responsible. Not as a designer, then, nor as a judge, nor as a bellhanger, do we think that he has shown such skill as to render it a matter of public interest that he should design, certify to, or hang a third bell. We think, in short, that in these branches of art his occupation is gone. We wish him every success in any other career, but we do not wish him to have anything to do with a third bell, and we shall be much mistaken if the public in general, and Mr. Fitzroy in, particular, are not of our opinion.
