I (says comas )od of , Oct. or at ?erpe lomas Hugh of the NEY .11 AR .7 .77 A j.) CIT CITY, Two o'CLocK. The inquiry for money is actively maintained in Lombard -street, as well as at the Bank of England ; but when the commercial engagements due to-day, the 4th of the month, are liquidated, the market May present rather a quieter appearance. The rates charged for accommodation are exceedingly firm, ranging from 2 per cent., according to the quality of the paper offered for negotiation. At the Stock Exchange, however, the demand is limited, and loans can be obtained on Government securities at 2 per cent. In the Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon no alteration of importance was apparent. There were no bullion operations at the Bank yesterday. The gold by the Anglesey—viz., £273,631, and the £30,302 by the Persia has been taken for the continent. Meetings have been convened of the London and Westminster and City Banks for the purpose of de claring a dividend, &c. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a mo derate amount of business was transacted, and prices were steadily maintained. The sales were 8 ,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and quotations exhibited no alteration of importance. The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Colonial Bank took place to-day, when a very satis factory report was read, merely stating that the prosperity of the establishment continued up to the last advices received from the colonies, and that the net profit on the six months' transactions was £35,197 ls. 10d., from which the directors now Proposed a dividend of 5 per cent. for the half-year, being at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum. After carrying the present balance to the reserve fund it would be increased to £60,303. The discussion was extremely favourable, and the report was adopted u nanimously. There is a meeting now proceeding of the East India Company, which is likely to he discordant and of some duration. About an average amount of business has been transacted to-day in English Securities, and the quotations have slightly improved. The Funds are naw at a high point, but the tendency still appears favourable, notwithstanding the limited character of the dealings for money and on speculation. The present position and prospects of affairs at home and abroad, impart a steady tone to the market, and it is expected that additional sup port will be given to the quotations as soon as the transfer books are reopened. Consols are 951 for the 10th inst., and 95-1-, 96 for the February account.

(Before Barons Bramwell and Martin.) David Hughes, solicitor, lately residing in Gresham street, City, was indicted for feloniously omitting to sur render himielf, being a bankrupt. Mr. Bovill, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, and Mr. Poland appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Hawkins, Q C., and Mr. Giffard defended the prison er. The facts of this complicated ease have already appeared at length in The Sun, during the examination of the accused at the Guildhall police-court. The prisoner had a con siderable practice, but it appears that he became, as alleged, a defaulter for a considerable amount, and a fiat of bank ruptcy was issued against him. He did not surrender, but I went to Australia. Brett, one of the city detectives, was despatched after him, and in the course of a few months returned with him in custody. Several objections were taken by Mr. Hawkins with regard to certain proceedings in bankruptcy, but the Court overruled them, and added they would be reserved to point as to the proof in respect of the confirmation of the adjudioation in bankruptcy for the Court of Error, if it was deemed necessary by the learned counsel. 100 94 100 i 111 174 1 f 1 (II par 11 41 51c1 ii 6}- o.lpar 1p gni 1O 5 par - if) 5 par ip The examination of viitnesses was then proceeded with.

Charlotte Hubble, 30, a domestic servant, was indicted under the coroner's inquisition for the wilful murder of her female infant. Mr. Tindal Atkinson conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Sleigh defended the prisoner. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was a domestic servant, residing at Eltham, in Kent. The land lord of the house in which the prisoner lodged was awoke one night by hearing a noise overhead. His wife also awoke, and both were induced to proceed to the prisoner's apartment, and there evidence presented itself that she had been delivered of a child. Medical aid was sent for, but the prisoner denied that she had given birth to a child. The surgeon, feeling certain that such had taken place, the room was searched, and in a box under the bed was found the dead body of a full grown female child, with a piece of tape tied tightly round its neck. A coroner's inquest was held on the body, and the surgeon stated that the lungs of the child, on being subjected to the usual tests, gave the appearances of its having been born alive, and consequently a verdict of wilful murder was returned against the prisoner. Mr. Sleigh made a very eloquent appeal to the jury for the prisoner, and il lI , id THAMES. -d, • --dl The learned Judge, inhis summing up, told the jurybefore they could convict the prisoner of the crime of murder they must be satisfied that she intended to kill the child, it being then alive and an independent being. If they thought that the tape was used by the prisoner during pay turition, and death was thereby caused, that would not be sufficient to justify a verdict of wilful murder. After an absence of about 20 minutes the jury returned into court with a verdict of not guilty of murder, but guilty of concealment of the birth. Mr. Justice Keating said the jury had, ke thought, taken a merciful view of the case, and had acquitted her of the capital offence. It was of the greatest importance that offences similar to that of which the prisoner had been con victed should be put down by the strong arm of the law, and he was therefore compelled to pass a severe sentence. The learned judge then ordered the prisoner to be impri • soned for IS months with hard labour. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) ROBBERY BY A BARMAID. Emily Smith was indicted for stealing money the pro perty of her employer. _ _ _ Mr. Langford prosecuted, and Mr. Metcalfe defended the prisoner. The prosecutor, Frederick White, said—l keep the White Hart Tavern, Lee, Kent. The prisoner was in my employ as barmaid, and had been so for 10 months. On the Bth of December I received an intimation from my wife which induced me, after I had closed the house at night, to examine the till. I found there half-a-crown and 3s. I marked those pieces and replaced thorn, and on the following morn ing, Saturday, about 11 o'clock, I went to the till and missed the marked money I had placed there the night be fore. On the same Saturday night, after the house was closed and the prisoner had gone to bed, I looked in the till again and found two half-crowns and a florin. I marked 'those in the presence of constable Brown, and replaced them. At a quarter before 10 o'clock on the Sunday morning I came down stairs, the prisoner having gone down before me I examined the till and found that the two half crowns and florin were gone. I called the constable and also the prisoner into the parlour, and told her she had stolen some money from the till. She re plied, " Taken money from the till I" The constable told the prisoner to show what money she had, when she became greatly agitated, and then said that she wished Mr. White to leave the room, and she would give up all the money she had in her possession. The constable objected to any person leaving the mom, and he said "We must obtain theservices of a female searcher." I left for that purpose, but when I returned I saw Brown put his hand into the prisoner's pocket and take out two marked half-crowns and a florin. Constable Brown said he searched the prisoner's room, and found a purse in a drawer, in which was some of the money that had been missed on the Saturday morning. Mr. Metcalfe addressed the jury for the prisoner, and contended that the prosecution had altogether failed to show that the prisoner had taken the money from the till. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty, and The Common Sergeant sentenced her to 12 months' im , prisonment. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER-TuuDAY.

The quantity of barley on the stands was rather limited. On the whole, the trade ruled steady, at full quotations. The malt trade was in a very inactive state, and prices were barely supported. We had a good demand for oats, at extreme currencies. Both beans and peas were very dull, at Monday's decline ; flour, however, was firm in price. To-day's market was again scantily supplied with Eng lish wheat, coastwise and by land carriage. There was a moderate inquiry for the few samples of fine and useful quttlity on offer, at full prices. Damp parcels, however, moved off slowly, at late currencies. The show of foreign wheat was rather limited, and im porters, generally, were very firm in their demands. Most descriptions moved off slowly, but without leading to any change in value. Floating cargoes of grain were a slow inquiry, but not cheaper. ARRIVALS TIM WEEK Wheat. Barley Malt. Oath.

The father of the prisoner, a cigar maker, said his son was incorrigible. Mr. Yardley said he would prevent the boy preying upon the public any longer, and would a: nd him to a reformatory ship. The prisoner hero roared loudly, and said, " Pray don't, pray don't, sir! I'll be a good boy.. I won't prig any more." Mr. Yardley—You have said that before. Your father cannot reclaim you. You are a very dangerous person, and the State must take charge of you. I sentence you to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for ono month, and afterwards to bs detained in a reformatory ship for four years, and your father to pay 2s. por iveek towards your maintenance for the first two years. DISOIIDERLY DISCHARGED SOLDIERS FROM INDIA.— I The district of this court was in a state of commotion last night owing to the riotous and violent, conduct of many discharged soldiers, 413 of whom were landed from a shin which arrived from Bombay yesterday. Several of the offenders were brought up in custody before Mr. Yardley, this day, charged with assaults, wilful damage, and being drunk and:riotous. P. Concoran was fined £3 for a savage and dastardly assault on Mr. Smith, landlord of the Black Horse pUblielnuse, Tower-hill. John Ferguson was charged with rushing into the Thistle beer-shop, Hermitage-street, Wapping, abusing the landlady, Mrs. Brown, and breaking sundry glasses, in doing which one of his fingers was nearly divided. He was fined 10s. Other discharged soldiers charged' with being drunk and incapable were set at liberty. Mr. Yardley said that when discharged soldiers were let loose upon the town they became a terrocr to every bosly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TRIS D 4 Y.) MARLBORO UGH-STREET. _ROBBERY BY AN AUCTIONEER'S SERVANT—A BID CASE.—Caroline English, a girl of about 18, was charged before Mr. Boadon with stealing a £5 Bank of England note, £2 108. in gold, and £1 9s. 6d. in silver, the money of her master, Mr. James Flood, auctioneer, 84, Wells-street, Oxford-street. James Hanns, an appraiser, of Bolsover-street, said that on the 24th of October ha paid the prisoner the sum of £8 19s. 6d. in a bank note for £5 and gold and silver, the result of a levy. Mr. James Flood, auctioneer, of 84, Wells-street, said the prisoner entered his employ as a servant on the 21st of October, he receiving a good character with her. On the 24th of the same month the sum above alluded to never reached him, and the same night the prisoner decamped. without the slightest notice. He immediately offered a re ward for apprehension, and gave notice at the Marylebone station, but heard nothing of the prisoner till the previous evening, when being told that she was in the Female Peni tentiary, White Lion-street, PentonvElle, he gave her into custody. She had stated to him that she had lived at 27, Barrett's-court, Marylebone. He had. a little girl present who was also in his employ, to whom on the night she de camped she showed the money. Emma Standing, the girl alluded to, said the prisoner showed her a bank note and some gold and silver, and said she should like to have it. Perry, 239 F, said ho took the p - risoner into custody at the Female Penitentiary, White Lion-street, Pentonville. She said nothing at the time, but on the way to the station he remarked that he supposed the money had done no good to her, and she said she had spent the, money on those who would not spend twopence on her. The prisoner, sobbing, said she was guilty of the charge. Mr. Beadon committed her for trial.. A FIT CANDIDATE POE AREPORMATORY Frederick Rowley, 15, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with picking pockets. The prisoner set up a dismal howling on being put into the dock, and continued whining and pretending to cry during during the investigation of his case, but not a tear was shed. Ho was seen by a police. con stable attempting to pick the pockets of several gentlemen. At last he was caught inflagrante delis ° taking a silk hand kerchief from a gentleman's pocket. B o was proved to have been several times in custody, and tv/ice summarily con victed. Ho was once in custody with three others for steal ing a large quantity of boots from a hc'use in Cable-street, Wellclose- square, and was aelmitted as evidence for the Crown. The jury did not believe the ;prisoner, and his con federates were acquitted. The prisoner was subsequently tried at the Sessions for robbing a sailor, and owing to the absence of the prosecutor was acquitted. Kelly, a police-constable, 100 H, said the prisoner had been a thief, and the associate of thieves, for the last four years.

SPURGEOr es NEW TABERNACLE. —On Monday evening last the friends of Mr. Spurgeon held a meeting at New Park -strimt Chapel with the view of presentin g their pastor with et New Year's offering to wards the completion of the now '.['abernacle. A report was read by Mr. Cook, the honorary r secretary, of the receipts and expenditure since the . court t:encernent of the under taking, from which it appeared 1 r hat the amount already collected was only sufficient to a rawer about one-half the requirements for the completio u of the building. The sum of £9,000 was already abs orbed in the purchase of the ground and for other purposes . More than 100 men were constantly employed, and the w rills were rapidly rising. There was still at the banker's £B,OOO, which is a large sum, but when it was taken into c xmsideration that at least £30,000 would be needed by th a time the building was finished it would be at once sewn t Eat there must be no lack of energy on Mr. Spurgeon's fri:imds' part till the money that was wanted was obtained. .3 'he gentleman who gave £3,000 on the laying of the first s';4me had forwarded to the secretary an intimation that ho 'would give £2,000 more. Several gentlemen addressed the r c eeting. very warmly ad vocating the work, and remarkoi I that it was truly sur prising that so large a sum should :have been collected in so short a time by the followers of thi s popular preacher. It is confidently hoped that by the ere d of this year the Taber nacle will be finished and opened i rr public service entirely free from debt. The Rev. J. w.

The preparations for the opening of the upper half of ,the new bridge at Westminster are pro gressing with great rapidity. Yesterday the hoard ing, which during the last two years has hidden the works from foot passengers over the bridge, was removed, and the new bridge is now exposed to public gaze. From the crown of the oldbridge to the middle of the new—for the new is - so nearly flat that it can scarcey be said to hava a crown at all—the distanue is 'eig ht or nine feet, a diminuti on of rise which will render the passage of the new bridge a very easy matter for horses and vehicles. A double iron tramway is laid down on the lower side of the new structure for the fast traffic, while the remainder, intended for the sl ow ve hi c l es , h as been macadamised, and both portions are ready for opening. The footway remains to be made, but this will be proceeded with simultaneously with the con struction of the approaches, already in progress. The block`of houses from the Old Red Lion, at the foot of the bridge, to Stangate, about 12 in num ber, are in course of demolition, and at the West minster end of the bridge, Nos. 26, 27, and 28, Bridge-street, consi s ti ng o f D enton ' s Hotel and the two adjoining houses beneath the Victoria Clock Tower, have been vacated by the tenants, and the carcases are advertised by the Board of Works for early sale next week. These also are to be imme diately demolished, and there seems no reason why the new half of the bridge should not be open to public traffic in a month. Meanwhile the prepara tions are actively going forward for laying the foundation of the piers of the other half of the bridge. ABINGDON GAOL. The question of closing the gaol at Abingdon was finally considered at the Epiphany Sessions for Berks, held at Reading on Monday. At the Michaelmas Sessions, when most of the magistrates expected that the gaol at Abingdon would be wholly closed, the discovery was made by the Right Hon. E. P. Bouverie, M.P., that certain steps had been omitted to be taken, and that there fore all former proceedings had become a nullity. He proposed that a committee should be appointed for the purpose of considering what steps should be taken to accomplish the object, having special regard to the interests which the borough of Abingdon claimed in the maintenance of a gaol, from having in the year 1805 given up the old gaol and a site on which the existing county gaol was erected, The motion was seconded by Mr. Walter, M.P., and carried by a large majority. As it was anticipated that the question would as sume a different form at the present sessions, there was a considerable gathering of magistrates. The chair was filled by Mr. K Palmer, late M.P. for the county. A report from the committee appointed at the last sessions, signed by the Right Hon. E. P. Bouverie, M.P., was read by the Clerk of the Peace. Mr. T. L. GOODLAKE remarked that the Court had determined the expediency some time 'ago of closing the gaol at Abingdon, as by the erection of the one at Reading it had become unnecessary. The Right Hon. E. P. BOUVERIE, M.P., said the simplest answer that could be given to Mr. Good lake's remarks was that the Court really had not the power to do it. The question of the expediency of closing Abingdon Gaol was very properly dis cussed by the Court, and upon the facts stat‘d the Court, whether rightly or wrongly, decided that it was expedient to close the establishment. Then there arose this question about the legality of their proceedings, the rights of the borough of Abing don, and the power of the Court to close the gaol. It was in consequence of these doubts and difficul ties, which seemed to tie their hands and made them feel like persons groping in the dark, that he (Mr. Bouverie) at the last quarter sessions proposed that the question be referred to a committee to ascertain the position in which the county magistrates stood. Mr. Walter, the hon. member for the county, seconded the motion, and it was carried. It had been said that the legality of their proceedings had no reference to the expediency of the question ; but he (Mr. Bouverie) contended that it was not expedient for the county to do a thing which was not strictly legal. (Hear, hear.) It would not be expedient to close Abingdon Gaol if the attempt to eo so would involve law proceedings on the one hand, or a breach of the law which would leave them open to be proceeded against either by process, from the Queen's Bench, or the Secretary of State. The hands of the county were tied, and the committee to whom the question was referred dealt with it like practical, sensible men. of busi ness, and grappled with the first difficulty that arose. The question first presented to them was, — What could the magistrates do, and if they could do anything, how were they to do it P They de cided that they ought to take learned advice, and they felt that they could not do better than submit the whole question to Mr. Tomlinson, who though not known out of the profession, was well known in the profession as a man of very great ability and experience. That learned gentleman had given a 'very clear and decided opinion as to the powers of the county, and Mr. Tomlinson and Mr. Wickens had given their joint opinion as to the rights of the Corporation of Abingdon. That being the state of things, he submitted to the Court, whatever might be their opinion as to the abstract question of ex pediency, that their hands were tied—that it was of no use starting this question to be discussed over again without anything practical which would re sult from it. (Hear, hear.) He trusted, after what the committee had done, the Court would be of opinion with him that the best mode of dealing with Abingdon Gaol was to leave it in the condi tion it was in at the present time. He approached the consideration of the question in the first place without any feeling of bias, or, if he had any, it was in favour of the closing of the gaol ; but finding that there r were great legal diffieulties in the way, he was of opinion that the matter should remain as they now found it. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MERRY was unwilling to revive a discussion upon the question, but he wished the Court to sus pend forming any decisive opinion upon the matter for the present. He was not aware of the course which the committee pursued with reference to tak ing the opinion of counsel, but he had placed it in the hands of a thoroughly disinterested solicitor,to draw up a case from the deed upoh which the Corporation of Abingdon relied, as justifying the claim they made for the county maintaining the gaol, in order to take the opinion of the ablest lawyer in the kingdom—the Attorney-General. That opinion he expected that day to have received, but it had not reached them. In the absence of that opinion, and from such a person, he asked the Court to defer judgment on the question until he had had an op portunity of laying that opinion before them. Mr. G. CHERRY observed that the opinion of the Attorney-General would only be upon the deed of 1805, while the opinions obtained from the other learned gentlemen had been given upon the deed in conjunction with subsequent proceedings. Tho deed was_not the only thing to be considered. Mr. BROS said an opinion upon the deed of 1805 would not influence the Court on the question of closing the gaol. Supposing the Attorney-General gave an opinion contrary to the other two gentle men, the' Court could nut close an existing gaol. That was the real question. It could only be done by Parliament with the sanction of the authorities of Abingdon. The report of the committee on the whole question was ordered to be entered on the records of the Court, without any formal motion being made in reference to it. The result of the proceedings is that Abingdon Gaol, which by previous quarter sessions was ordered to' be abolished, will be re tained, unless the county can arrange with the borough of Abingdon for its being closed, and their prisoners transferred to Reading on terms as ad vantageous as at present. PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Park is about per mile d, and the short exchange on London is 2.5.10 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is at about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.3 k per fl starling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is therefore about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 1091 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint proportions between the two countries, shows that the ex change is about at par ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves no profit on the importation of gold from the United States. TIIE LATE WEST YORKSHIRE ELECTION.—At a meeting of the central committee of the West Riding Cen. ' servative Association, held at Wakefield on Friday last, the Hon. Edwin Lascelles in the chair, it was resolved that, under the circumstances of the case, the total expenditure on the Conservative side at the late election ought to be defrayed by :the West Riding, and that the 'Hon. James Stuart Wortley, who was the Conservative candidate at that election, ought not to be a contributor, and that a fund be raised to defray the outstanding- liabilities. Some hundreds of pounds were subscribed at the'meeting-._. VIIE ALESSANDRIA GUNS.—The -Minister of War at Turin has published an account of the subscription com menced in 1850 for the 100 guns of Alessandria. The sum subscribed in Italy amounted to 10 6,459 f. ; that su b scr ib ed in foreign countries, to 47,4 54 f., making a total of 153,913 f., besides a piece of ordnance sent by the citizens of Bost and another sent by M. Carlo Perla of Aarau. The above sum being sufficient to cover the expense of 120 guns already cast, the Minister has given orders to place them, all in the fortress of Alessandria. Each of them is to have engraved upon it the motto, "National t:ffering, 1858," and the name of one or more of the donors, the list of which is published with the above account. Arh - lig the names' we find those of Victor Emmanuel 11., Norberto Rosa (the originator of the subscription), Mania, the press, the army, the Italian students, the Italians at Rio Janeiro, Odessa, Boston, Chili, Peru, Bologna, Brescia, Aarau, Paris, &c. LETTER FROM GARIBALDL The following letter from Garibaldi suggests the 'organisation of a national militia in Italy. It is dated Fino, Dec. 18, and is addressed to the Deputy Malenchini : "Exert," he says, "all the influence of your patriotic word towards the increase of the National Guard. Let it become an addition to or reservdfor the army; and if the law by which it was origi nally organised is insufficient, let the law be stretched to the full extent of our present want. "First, we must have its numbers increased as much as possible. " Secondly, it must be divided into three cate gories —the sedentary, or veteran militia, Consisting of old men destined to the service of the towns; the active militia, which might do duty in the environs of the towns, could garrison fortresses, &c. ; and mobile or moveable militia, to whom all those Men should belong who, without being actual soldiers, might be capable of taking the field with the regu lar troops in the case of need. This third category should immediately embrace all the numerous offi cers and soldiers who, for any other but a dis honourable motive, happen to be now out of em ployment. "The men of the third category should receive, if they need it, some subsidy or indemnity, which ought, however, to be something very different from a regular pay or stipend. Patriotism would easily put up with the modicity of such a subsidy. I have myself served the popular cause in America for a period of 14 years without any remuneration whatever. There can, you know, be no lack' of men to offer their free services to their own country. _ _ " It would not be difficult, out of a select national militia, to term corps of mounted Guidcs, as we managed in the late wa r — suc h li g ht s ki rm i shers being found greatly more useful than any expen sive and unwieldy regular cavalry—at least for all the purposes of Italian warfare. The Zouaves and the Hunters of the Alps have very lately shoivn that it is quite possible to fight very excellently without being choked by a stock or stifled with tight lacing. " A national armament, such as I conceive it, would just suit the highly patriotic soul of Rieasoli; and if he makes himself the promoter of it, there will be no man unwilling to help, applaud, and imitate it. Do that, my dear friends, and I assure you Gud and.the Cangress will then be with us. " G. GARIBALDI." P.RO-PAPAL MEETING IN LONDON. Last night " an indignation meeting" of Roman Catholics, most numerously attended, convened at the instance of the Catholic'Aid Association, Was held in the Hanover-square Reptus, Mr. Richard Keeley acting as chairman. There could not have been less than 2,000 persons present. The meeting was called for the purpose of affording the Catholics of the metropolis an opportunity of pub licly expressing their_ feelings of devoted attach ment to the Pope, and their indignation, at the attempt now in contemplation to despoil the Holy Father of his temporal jurisdiction and power. The -greatest unanimity, approaching often to en thusiasm, was evinced by the audience, a consider able number of whom were women, thr oughout the whole proceedings, which lasted several hours. The platform was almost as crowded as the body of the hall, but there 'were few, if any, persons of note among either the Roman Catholic clergy or laity upon it. Some Reiman Catholic priests were present, but they took no part in the proceedings so far as speaking went. The admission to the hall was free, but ley ticket, and to 'the platlbrm and some reserved seats by tickets, sold at is. each. Let ters of apology, assigning various reasons for not being alile to attend the meeting., but all expressing sympathy with its object, were read from the Roman Catholic bishops of Birmingham and Shrewsbury, and the Vicar-Apostolic of the northern: district of Scotland ; also from the Rev. Canon Oakley, Lord Fielding, the Hon. Charles Langdale, and Mr. M. J. Rhodes. Mr. H. J. Prendergast, who said it was his pride to have been, with Daniel O'Connell, one of the original founders of the Catholic Association, and to have stood by it to the last, moved the first resolution :—" That the temporal power of the Pope had been the source of numerous blessings to mankind, by tne extension of the Catholic faith, the diffusion of knowledge, and the promotion of the arts and sciences," He asked, amid the applause of the meeting, who feared for the supremacy of the Pope ? No true - Catholic could do so. He should doubt his own existence if he hesitated for a moment to believe in the power of that supremacy to resist all the efforts of man and of hell to overthrow it, based as it was on the eternal Word of God. It was not for the Pope that the Catholics feared, but for the injury which the great interests of Christianity might sustain at this crisis from the violence of wicked and the artifices of insidious men. After criticising, in some detail, what he called " the most flagitious pamphlet" of M. La Guerrouiere, whom he designated as "an insignificant person, of no weight in society," Mr. Prendergast asked why that pamphlet had acquired all its significance ? Because, said he, there was an identity of feeling between the writer of it and the author of another brochure which heralded one of the most atrocious crimes by which society had ever been outraged— namely, the Franco-Sardinian invasion of Austrian. Lombardy. He was happy, however, to learn that New Year's-day had passed at the Tuileries without any foreign Minister there having been Hub nerised. It was impossible, he said, for any sane person to come to any other conclusion than that the sentiments embodied in the pamphlet in ques tion were those of the French Emperor. If that were not, why. did not the Emperor state explicitly, in the face of the whole world, that he was not re sponsible for the sentiments contained in it P Until he did that no Catholic would put trust in him, and there would be no Congress. They (the meeting) had assembled there as Catholics, having no personal or anti-national feelings to indulge, but simply to protest against a coercion which was most injurious to their religion, pregnant with mis chief to society at large, and which even Protest ants, if they understood their true interests, ought to resist. The resolution was seconded by Dr. Hills who complained' of the cuckoo cry raised by the public press, that the Government of the Pope was a bad one, without any attempt being made to prove it so by the evidence of facts. He contended that the Pope had exercised his temporal power most discreetly, religiously, and humanely, and that his great fault in the eyes of English Protestants was that he had, in fact, no fault at all. The motion was put and carried by acclamation. Mr. Brett moved a resolution to the effect that although, as Catholics, they firmly beli eve d th e sp i r i tua l autho rity of the Pope not to be of necessity dependent on his temporal power, they yet considered the diminu tion of such temporal power would be detrimental to the established Government and injurious to the best interests of religion. This motion he supported in a long speech, contending that the question was one that deserved to be discussed, fairly, loyally, and in a manner superior to " the hackneyed diplo macy of a Palmerston, the placid insidiousness of a Russell, and the strategy of Napoleon III." The Pontifex Maximus of the press, and all the minor stars, laboured in vain when they sought to disso ciate the temporal from the spiritual power of the Pope—that temporal power being a divine adjunct of the spirituality—and to rail at Catholicity, which had given them their laws, their institutions, and all that they held dear in civilisation. The spiritual power of the Pope was not a political system or a floating idea ; it was an eternal and immoveable principle, an article of faith, and the gift of God. He asked, would Lord :Palmerston or Lord John Russell, the "pink" of the a r i s t ocrac y an d "the luminaries of our moral system," become so degene rate, Co lost to truth and honour, as to go to the forthcoming Council of Princes and unscrupulously devote the possession of the temporal power of the Pope, Heaven-given as it was, to some usurious or simoniacal destination ? Would they, he asked, in. conclusion, hand over to Victor Emmanuel, for merly the gentle Duke of Savoy, possessions which had descended from the Emperor Conitantine to the present Holy Father, through his illustrious predecessors in the chair of St. Peter, during a long series of ages ? Ihe resolution was seconded by Mr. Young, and carried, like its predecessor, with the greatest unanimity. On the motion of Mr. James Burke, it was resolved that, as London was the source whence emanated so many attacks on the Pope, they deemed it the special duty of the Catholics residing them to express their sym pathy with his Holiness in an address. This re solution was supported by Signor Giannini, whom Mr. Burke introduced to the Meeting as "a real live Italian from Rome," and who, in a speech of very good English, defended the humane and en lightened manner in which the Pope dispensed his temporal revenues in works of charity and in the spread of religion and educgtion. The meeting was subsequently addressed by Mr. Harper, who formerly held high preferment in the Established Chum eh, and clueing whose speech Mr. T. A. Malone a lecturer on chemistry and a Catholic, who had ventured to say the Pope would be freer in Ireland than in Rome, received some very rough usage in deed at the hands of some violent partisans near the door. He was struck violently in the eye, forced from the room, and lost his hat in the melee. It was subsequently resolved that the address be forwarded for presentation to the Pope to the care of the Cardinal-Archbishop, of Westminster. The meeting did not break up till an unusually ad vanced hour. 65 - 114 i 13 99 1 96 1151 14 78 131 i Stock
