k QUM . TVAIES. (Fio 1 of the 7 SYDNEY, SEPT. 14. The first session of the Iteformed Pzfrliament of New South Wales was opened on Tuesday, the 30th of August, by commission. On the follow ing day the Governor-General came down and delivered the_ opening address. In this address, congratulations were expressed that the late elec tians had been conducted in so quiet and orderly a manner, and that the measures passed last session were working satisfactorily, reference being espe cially made to the Municipalities Act and the Dis trict Court Act. Despatches relative to the Panama mail service and telegraphic communication with England were promised, and the attention of the Legislature was invited to both undertakings. The separation of Moreton Bay was announced as hav ing been officially notified, though not legally car ried out. Hon. gentlemen were invited to renew their inquiries into the questions of departmental reforms and secondary punishments. The establish ment of free grammar schools in the chief inland towns, and also of a free public library in Sydney, was suggested. The public revenue was announced to be in a very flourishing condition, and the deficit of £150,000, which existed when responsible Go vernment first commenced, waedeclaredto be cleared off'. Measures were proposed for reconstructing the Upper House of Parliament, and changing it from a nominated to an elective chamber; for regulating the sale and occupation of the waste lands of the Crown; for modifying the system of primary edu cation ; for a repeal of the schedule of the Constitu tion Act which relates to the provision for public wen - ship, and amend ingthat which provides pensions for the judges ; for amending the insolvent law, the customs' laws, and the Licensed Victuallers' Act ; and for simplifying the transfer of landed property. In both houses the reply to the address was passed without opposition, though in the Council the Oppo sitien, who are in a majority there, took the reply out of the hands of the Government representative, and. substituted one of their own for it. In the Assembly Sir Daniel Cooper was unani mously re-elected Speaker e but when it was pro posed to reappoint Mr. Arnold, the former chair man of committees, the Opposition showed its front. Mr. Arnold has always been extremely unpopular with the anti-Ministerial party, and his first election to the post of chairman was keenly con tested. He is not only a very strong political par tisan, but of particularly pugnacious disposition, and anything but anxious to avoid giving offence. His ability for the office was not denied, but his manner had created such a strong feeling of repug nance to him on the part of his political opponents that it was determined to resist his reappointment. Mr. Piddington, a gentleman of somewhat more neutral politics, formerly a supporter of the party now in power, but now detached from them, was proposed by Mr. Murray. Mr. Murray also had once been a supporter of Mr. Cowper, and had even been his colleague in the Cabinet, yet he now avowed himself a decided opponent, as being dis trustful and suspicious of the policy and the honesty of the Ministry. At the same time he disclaimed all party views in the nomination of Mr. Pidding ion. The Government stood up stoutly for Mr. Arnold ; but though the Opposition were in a mi nority generally in the house, the arguments they adduced against the election of Mr. Arnold found favour with many of the new and neutral members, and Mr. Piddington was voted to the office by a majority of 36 to 33. This division, though neither claimed nor admitted as a test of party strength, was felt to be somewhat damaging to the prestige of the Government, some of whose members had been boasting rather prematurely of their immense majority, and of the ridiculousness of all opposition. On the following day Mr. Parkes movedepursu ant to notice, that all the Customs duties on tea and sugarshould be forthwith repealed. Mr. Parkes was the late proprietor of the ,Enzpire newspaper, and has always been a favourite popular leader, and though his recent insolvency, from which he has not yet emerged, has somewhat damaged his position, yet he islooked upon as the "coming men" to head the Democratic party. As such he was re garded with considerable suspicion by Mr. Cowper, who felt the possibility of his being a dangerous rival, and whose policy it has been to anticipate and supersede such rivalry by successive and gradual concessions to Democratic friends. He used his influence to prevent if possible the elec tion of Mr. Parkes to the Assembly. In this he failed. lie was more successful in preventing Mr. Parkes from reobtaining possession of the Empire newspaper, which journal has been safely lodged in the hands of warm supporters of the Ministry. Mr. Parkes, therefore, owed the Premier a grudge, and resolved to have his revenge on the first oppor tunity. His resolution was framed for that pur pose. No reference had been made in the Gover• nor's speech to any alteration in the tariff, there fore it was fairly inferred that no extensive alteration was intended, much less an entire abolition of the tea and sugar duties, which yield a revenue of about £150,000 a-year. Yet Mr. Cow per when in opposition had made a strong attack upon those duties, and acquired some political capital by taking the popular side on that ques tion. He. was therefore placed in a po-i t ion of con siderable embirra , sment by Mr. Parkes's motion, for if he consented to abolish fie tax he would have to part with a large slice of revenue which was essential to him to carry out works that had been promised to gratify various constituencies ; and if he refused, he would show himself recreant to the principles he professed when in opposition, and give Mr. Parkes the opportunity of figuring as the consistent advocate of' popular rights. To get out of the difficulty, the Treasurer moved "the previous question," justifying this evasion of any specific Statement of the Ministerial policy on the ground that the proper time for that statement would be when the Budget was brought forward. After a long debate, however, "the previous question" was rejected by a majority of three, and Mr. Parkes's motion was carried by a majority of one. This division took the Government by surprise, as they had confidently calculated on 4 majority, but they met the difficulty with great cleverness and promptitude. They resolved immediately onresign ing, and in tendering their resignation next day Mr. Cowper suggested that Mr. Murray should be sent for. lie has defended this suggestion on the ground that Mr. Murray, having bier put forward to oppose Mr. Arnold as the chairman of committees, bad assumed the post of leader of the Opposition. Others find what they think a better reason for the • angirstion in the fact that Mr. Cowper was peeectly well aware that for personal and political reasons Mr. Murray was not likely to form a strong Cabi net or make a successful Premier. Mr. Murray himself felt the unpleasant predicament in which he had been placed by the ambi guous com pli men t paid him by Mr. Cowper, and was half-inclined to abstain from any attempt to form a Ministry, but he was urged on by friends whose dislike to Mr. Cowper was stronger than then- political prudence, and who caught at the chance of turning . him out. Mr. Murray's first effort was to secure Mr. Hay, to whom he offered the post of .1+ finance Minister. Mr. Hay had been a member of the late Adminis tration; but then he had opposed t';e abolition of the duties on tea and sugary and several of his political friends had done the same, and he declined therefore, to take office under circumstances which would involve his reversing that vote. Mr. Mur ray, foiled in this quarter, tried to make up else where for the lack of Mr. Hay's services, but in vain, and was obliged to resign his commission into his Excellency's hands. He explains that he did not consider himself at liberty to suggest that any one else shpuld be sent for. Accordingly when the house met again the Ministry reappeared in their places ; but Mr. Cowper gave notice that, before resuming the business of the session, he should move the rescission of the vote come to on Mr. Parkes's resolution, which he considered to be tantamount to a vote of want of , confidence, and that if the rescission were not carried, he should resign again. After a debate extending over two nights, in the course of which "the previous question" was moved as an amendment by Mr. Martin Calso, formerly a colleague of Mr. Cowper, and now an opponent, the vote was re scinded by a majority of 40 to 21. This large ma jority is to be accounted for by the fact that many of the new members who had voted for the . repeal of the t2xes, because they knew that that was the popular side, had no intention of upsetting the Ministry, and hive, therefore, recanted, though not over Well pleased with the Premier for forcing them through such a humiliating process at the very outset of their Parliamentary career. The majority was strengthened by the votes of many opponents of the Ministry who disapproved the abolition of the tax. The vote, however, has acted as a definite expression of: confidence, and the Ministry is rein stated in power, and stronger and more triumphant than ever. Mr. F. Gishorne has been in Sydney dui past few weeks, endeavourinto obta;n aeonrTe6: the sion for a submarine telegrap4 proicet to tr.d with Sin 2; pore. lie has a lTe p a u l en b mm Chamber or Coerce, andt a and has had several interviews with the Govern ment. Ile has been-favourably received, but leis proposals will have to submit to some modification. The absolute gua rantee he asks for of six per cent. does not find much favour here. Mr. Gisborne ap peals to the Red Sea telegraph as a precedent,' - hut that is considered rather a precedent to be avoided than to be imitated. The point at which a subma rine line shall commence is also a point in di , pute. Mr. Gishorne proposes to begin submerging at Moreton Bay, but a strong feeling seems to prevail in the colony that the line should be carried over land at least as far as the head of the Gulf of Car • pentaria, through country which, though not at present occupied, soon will be. Messrs. G. A. Lloyd and Co. have sequestrated their estate. Mr. Lloyd, on his arrival in Sidney, found the colonial liabilities greater than he had anticipated, but proposed a composition of 7s. in the pound. The proposal was received without overt opposition at first, but it subsequently proved that two or three creditors would not acquiesce, and one of these creditors having put in an execution, the estate was placed under the protection of the Court. The cause of the fail:tre has been clearly traced to excessive shipments to an overloaded market, and forced sales to realise funds for remittance. IRELAND. DUBLIN, TUESDAY 'MORNING. THE POPE AND HIS IRISH SUBJECTS. A few of the Irish journals are making efforts to persuade the public that wonderful results are likely to follow the priestly demohstration of Thursday last, the first fruits of which it is more than hinted will be a sympathetic movement on the part of the Roman Catholic laity. As yet, however, there has been no response to the trumpet sounded by Dr. Cullen, and it is by no means unlikely that, after all, the laity will leave to their clergy all the honour and glory of aiding the head of the Church in his present critical position. The Cork EXaminer, a high authority on all matters pertaining to the Popedom, is quite elated at the recent display of priestly oratory, and seizes the occasion to lecture the British Government for its backslidings. " No Government on the face of the earth is more relentless to those who rise against its authority or trouble its peace than the British Government — witness its treatment of the rebels of India and the patriots of the lonian Islands, to say nothing of the manner in which it deals with those of its own subject, who, if they could, would rid themselves of its control. And yet this is the nation and this the Government that takes upon itself to denounce the Pope as if he were ths vilest malefactor, and stigmatise his Govern ment as if it were something fiendish and revolting—something that cursed the earth and hourly called down upon it the anger of God." After eulogising the Pope in terms that might bring a blush into the cheeks of the Holy Father the Examiner assumes a rather threatening tone. The organ of the member for Dungarvan says:— " If there are those, as there are, whom statesmen seek to conciliate by pandering to prejudice and passion, let it be known that there are others who, attached by the strongest ties of filial affection and spiritual obedience to the Holy See, are ready to treat as enemies those statesmen and party leaders who employ their power to undermine the Pope's authority, and, if possible, deprive him of his law ful possessiens. It is full time that Catholics should occupy a position creditable to their spirit and wor thy of their numbers and influe2ce, and let their resolve be known to their opponents, whether open or concealed. If the Ministry of the day—we care not a rush by what name they are called—will vio late justice and right, by exciting discontent and holding out hopes to rebellion, let them do so in the full conviction that there are Catholics who, on a fitting occasion, will pay back, in defeat and morti fication to them and their party, the sorrows with which they have afflicted the heart of the purest, the holiest, and the most merciful of men. For so long as British Ministers believe they can sin with impunity they will continue to offend against jus tice and make the Pope the victim of their dis honest machinations. We trust, then, that the movement in favour of the Holy Father, so auspi ciously commenced in Dublin, may go through the length and breadth of this old Catholic land, evok ing in the breast of its Catholic people a spirit wor thy of their historic race — of their trials, their suf• - ferings, and their triumphs." THE AMERICAN MAIL FROM QUEENSTOWN. The Cork papers bring the subjoined account of the safe arrival of the Canada at Queenstown on her outward voyage to America. The weather here is still extremely wild and stormy. This morning, indeed, it is blowing a full gale from the north west, and the air is again bitterly cold, cold enough to anticipate a speedy fall of snow:— " Owing to the protracted passage of the Canada, a feeling partaking in some degree of anxiety began to be entertained at Queenstown until, at 12 o'clock this day, she appeared off the harbour. The Royal Alice, the river steamer on board which the mails had been placed, and which was in waiting from yesterday evening, immediately upon the announce ment got up steam and proceeded out to sea to meet her. Both steamers came up with each other at the south side of Spike Island, and the Royal Alice having, under the direction of Capt. Levingstene, got alongside in a short time, the mails were con veyed on board the Canada. These consisted of 18 sacks from Liverpool and London, two bap from Dublin, and one bag each from Cork and Queenstown. Two male cabin passengers also went on board her. After the mails had been shipped the Canada fired a salute and remained stationary for about half an hour, during which time the gen tlemen on hoard the Royal Alice, were allowed to go through her. The Canada is-not of very large dimensions, but is firmly built, and is perhaps as well able to encounter a heavy sea as any vessel afloat. Her capabilities were well tested in her passage across the Channel. When she had got a short distance outside Liverpool a heavy swell from the bar, combined with a terrific gale, obliged her to cast anchor, and she was unable to leave the po sition which she then took up until half-past 8 p.m. on Saturday. She again got up steam and proceeded, but owing to the violence of the gale her speed was reduced. to 31 knots per hour. The pilot stated that the storm was as terrific as that in which the Royal Charter was lost. The Canada continued, however, to advance slowly along, until half-past 2 o'clock this morning, when, the gale having moderated, she was enabled to accelerate her speed, and at 12 o'clock she steamed safely into our harbour. She did not appear to have suffered in any way; and, with a few exceptions, the passengers seemed as if they had not spent the night amid the dangers of a Channel storm. The Canada proceeded on her out ward voyage about one o'clock to-day. She brings out 162 cabin passengers in all." JOHN SADLEIR'S FRAUDS. Judge Longfiield gave his decision yesterday in the case of Burmester and Eyre. After going at full length into all the well worn•out arguments urged on both sides, the learned judge concluded by giving it as his opinion that Mr. Eyre's inten tion was to release the lands in favour of any party dealing with Mr. Sadleir, he not knowing or caring who that party was. His intention also was that the considerations which induced him to execute the release should not be disclosed to such party. He acted deliberately, with full protection, and the assistance of an attorney; and although he had been grievously wronged by Mr. Sadleir, he could not be permitted to redress that wrong at the ex pense of the bank, by depriving it of an advantage which it had honestly obtained. He therefore over ruled Mr. Eyre's objection with costs. ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE. The King's County correspondent of Saunders's Newsletter writes.:— . "`Shortly after 6 o'clock on Sunday evening, the 6th inst., a man named John Harlin, residing in Cooraclevin, in the barony of Clonlish, was fired at and wounded, but not dangerously. When fired at, Harlin was shutting a gate leading from a field where he had sonic cattle. The ruins of "an old house were close to the gate, and there, it is sup posed, the assassins lay concealed. Harlin - saw one at least of the ruffians walk deliberately away after firing the shc.t, which was discharged from either a blunderbuss or a large pistol loaded with slugs, several of which took effect on Harlin, who received the contents in- the neck, arm, and body. Harlin's house is situate within about 200 perches of the police staticn at Cooraclevin. Harlin is an under agent er bailiff on the estate of . a Mr. Stackpoole, who has recently purchassd property at Cooraclevin. It is stated that Mr. Stackpoole proposed raising the , rents of the tenantry, who, having refused to comply with the proposed in crease, were served with notices to quit, which duty was per`.'ormed by Hardn, who consequently became disliked by the tenantry, and was 'therefore fired at. He is attended by Dr. Walsh, Cloughjordan, and there are hopes of his recovery. Darin.. the night four men, name d P. E gan , M. Egan, Wm. Egan, and E. Fox, were arrested by the police on suspicion. Some of the accused are tenants of r. Stackpoole, and a re among th ose w h o have beenM zervcd with notices to quit." • DUBLIN STOCK EXCHANGE. Monday Evening.--The fundsha;e - advanced to to-day ; a good deal of business was done, and the market. closed buyets at the quotations. Con sols were 931 for money an d f or t h e next account, and for the December account 1. New Three per Cent. Stock 947 ; for present transfer, and 941 for next and new account. Bank Stock and Shares were inactive, and no dealings took place. Steam ahares were also heavy; the only transactions were in City of Dublin, which changed hands at 99, buyers, being the previous value. Grand Canal Stock improved 1, closing buyers at 421. For min ing shares there was a better demand ; General Mining Company sold for account at 2 t buyers—a reduction of Mining Company of Ireland were better by t; and left off buyers at 12/. Wicklow Copper Mine produced the last price, with buyers at the close. The business done in railway shares was, rather limited, but the tendency of rates was upwards. Great Southern and Western Stock ad vanced k to 4, selling at 108 k 1, for money, and 108,1 for account. Dundalk and Enniskillens were done for account at 14, buyers—an improvement of k. Irish South Eastern and Midland Great Western, half shares, were sold fer account at the former quotation—buyers. TILE ADMIRALTY. (From the Times.) We have - recently from time to time announced the appointment of officers to various ships about to form part of the expedition to China. It may be presumed, therefore. that the time is approaching when the squadron is to put to sea, and that the cap tains are at this moment engaged in fitting out their new commands. If this be so, we desire to put a few words upon record. It is always an un welcome task to direct the public notice to the ac tion of the Admiralty. In the first placer the secret wheels of this piece of mechanism are so well hid den that no one can guess with much confidence what is going on ; and, secondly, this department hates all suggestion from outside its office even be yond the abhorrence of all other official men. Then there is no season at which a word of warn ing or expostulation can be pertinently offered. If the expedition be still unformed, it is an indefen sible intermeddling with the business of persons who are by education and experience the best pos sible judges of the exigencies of the occasion. If failure has happened, and lives have been sacrificed by reason of these men of special education and ex perience, the cry is "Let bygones be bygones; the sacrifice of a victim will not recover the loss sus tained. We must not be vindictive. We will re form the system." It is always too early or too late to say a word about the navy or the army. Yet failures do occur—rather too frequently, and results are very prompt to make it appear that absolute wisdom is not everywhere present in either department. We have no actual knowledge of what may be taking place in the fitting out of this _ China squadron, and therefore we have no accusa tion to suggest and no shortcomings to reveal; but we all have some idea of the usual routine which takes place on these occasions, and we all have some knowledge of what has happened from following that routine upon former expeditions. The expe rience of the past seems to justify Es in risking the imputation of ,presumption, and in asking for a little special attention to the requirements of the particular service to which the ships are destined. Something more than the regular and ordinary equipment of a man-of-war is necessary for a naval force about to act in Chinese waters. You are send ing the men to an unhealthy climate, where the sun rains down shafts much more terrible than the arrows that are sped from Tartar bows ; where the rivers give oat miasmas which slay much more cer tainly than the enemies dwelling upon their banks. It is not a cruise in the Mediterranean upon which these men are going. A berth in a gunboat in a run round the Cape is nearly an amphibious state of existence. There is decidedly an unfair prepon derance of the denser element about it. Not one seaman in ten who has had his run on shore has, or could, in the last China expedition, obtain clothes sufficient to keep him from shivering in the cold blasts off the Cape. Arrived in the hot latitudes, double awnings and rain awnings were talked about only as things to be wished for, but which had either been refused by the Admiralty or not thought of at home. Gunboats carry no sur geon, and the lieutenants commanding are very wisely intrusted with only a few of the more harm less and simple medicines ; but this is a weighty reason why we should double our preventatives when we are obliged to diminish our means of cure. From the little matters that have caused great sick nesses and sore trouble, and sent many a good fel low most unnecessarily into hospital at a moment when he was most needed, we strongly suspect that this equipment must be a piece of cut and dried official routine. There must be somewhere or other a clerk with a book—a very.honest, well-intentioned man, no doubt, but a man whose business it is to copy, and not to think. We cannot expect him to go out orhis nature and thick. If binnacles were not in his list, binnacles wouldn't be allows d. Perhaps this clerk, or this class of clerks, may have a naval superior whose mind is like the old prece dent book—always wants posting up, always ten years behind the present state of naval tactics. The natural tendency of such a mind would be to stick as closely as possible to the old system. He has never thoroughly learnt the value of the maxim that pre vention is better than cure. Even the fortifying the men by unlimited supplies of quinine, and pro tecting .them by canvas, hardly commend them selves to his cordial approbation. There should be a civilian and an unprofessional eye to investi g ate these matters of naval physical comforts ; and we commend this necessary labour to the First Lord. Wo do not venture to specify what may be required that may probably have been omitted. Ask any sailor who has been one in that very creditable ex ploit of carrying out all the gunboats now in the , China Sea. It is to be hoped, moreover, that we shall not have our official people, like a Hamiltonian school class, spelling in chorus that dreadful word " Im possible." We have been talking of our improve ments ; this is to be a sample expedition—a test of what we can do. We have been voting money with lavish hands for our dockyards and arsenals ; we are now about to see what we have bought. We have been reading all sorts of accounts of eXperi meats in Woolwich Marshes, but as we did not pro• pose to spend our millions in fireworks, we are now about,to test these things in serious warfare. It is a capital opportunity for the test and confirmation of new inventions. Those Taku Forts cannot be attacked in front without serious loss, but the new rifled cannon which our ships will carry will shell out the defenders at long range and from outside the bar. There is a particuiar invention for de stroying obstructions in rivers. It is not so navel but that the last expedition might have been equipped with it, It is to be hoped that inquiry will be made neat session whether Admiral Hope was in a position to avail himself of it, and, if not, by whose fault this happened, and what influence that fault had in causing the disgrace that be fell our arms and the loss of our 450 countrymen. This time, however, the ships that go out to force their way up obstructed rivers are, of course, fitted with these aids, and with plenty of rockets to keep the banks clear. Upon the last occasion our tars envied the French their light field-pieces, which a couple of men could carry over swampy ground, r where onr heavier guns could not be safely landed. This hint has, of course, been taken. The principal feature, however, of this new expedition will neecs sarily be the rifled cannon. Whether the French go with us or fallow after us, the two squadrons will he patterns of what Woolwich and Toulon can do. There may, perhaps, be something even more than emulation in the feeling with which these two squadrons will regard each other, and measure the force of their respective armaments. Oise word more, and upon another topic :—There have been differences of opinion as to whether we should declare war against the Emperor of China. The dispute is really unworthy of practical men. It is a diplomatic pedantry quite outside the pre sent circumstances. The Chinese Emperor de stroys our fleet and kills our people, but he doesn't declare war against us. If we were to make a solemn declaration of war, withdraw our Consuls, stop our trade, and generously hand over all our commerce to the Americans, the Chinese 'would simply think we were demented. They neither know nor care for these niceties. But, although we do not declare war, we are, in fact, as much at war with China as we were at war with France when we fought the Battle of the Nile. Upon this distinction, however, it is possible to raise a mise rable and dishonest quibble— a quibble which would be disgraceful to any honest man, and which it is impossible that any gentleman could ever put for ward. But still it is a possible quibble, and Jack is a suspicious creature. Some .one has put it into his head that he will not get his Chinese prize money because "we were not at war ;" that he will not have certain allowances " because we were not at war ;" and that the absence of this declara tion of war to him is a matter of material impor tance; This belief, which we hope is as certainly as it is apparently preposterous, is operating to make the present expedition unpopular with the men who have served in China before, and who are the most useful hands to have there again. They care little for the climate, and nothing for the hard knocks; but they have not had their prize-money, and they spoilt all their clothes without any re compense. Nothing would satisfy us so well as to be not only accused, but actually convicted, of a most unnecessary intermeddling in this matter. We should be glad to see it proved against us that all our• suggestions have been already foreseen, and that all.. our suspicions are baseless. We world undergO the triumphant retort that eve •v captain gets everything lie asks for which he be lieves to tend to the (7.flieiency of his ship and the a m h i e s n i t n s e the latest s squadron o sits improved equipped cwoimthrolatrin o f weapons; that arrangements have been made to secure that the men have plenty of warm clothing when they go on board ; that officers and men have all received their prize-money months ago, and that both soldiers and sailors have been assured that no technical diplomatic matter, such as a formal declaration of war, will have any effect upon their profits or comforts. If we could obtain such assurances as these, they would very much tend to the content and also to the zeal of the men who are being asked to join this expedition, and would also satisfy some doubts that perplex the mind of the puhlic at large. We put these few words on record now, in the strong hope that we may never have to recur to them hereafter._ THE MORTARA PROTEST. The Mortara Protest, bearing the signatures of 22 Archbishops and Bishops; 27 Dukes and Peers, 36 Members of Parliament, a long list of clergy, and an unnumbered column of undistinguished laymen, has been presented to the Secretary for Foreign Affairs in open conference. As we have already declared, this document simply expresses the public opinion, not only of England, but of all reasoning Europe, when it protests against the avowed practice of kidnapping children for the purpose of changing their faith. It carries our sympathies also with it when it proposes to inter fere to prevent this cruel persecution, and to put an end to this outrage upon the family affections of mankind. Looking only to the protest itself, and disregarding the stilted nonsense with which its presentation was accompanied, it is undoubtedly a paper which deserves a respectful attention from any English Minister. Lord John Russell fully felt this ; but he also felt that, however strong might be tho indignation of Lord John Russell, the individual wrong offered but slender grounds for the interference of the Foreign Secretary of Great Britain. Lord John could say no more than that it was a case in which all our feelings of what was due to parents had been violated, but wherein representations to the Papal Government would be of no use whatever, and appeals to other Govern ments would be of uncertain effect. This answer was sufficient for the immediate purpose. 'Lord John Russell had the best of the controversy with the deputation, but he has not placed this matter upon its strongest ground before Europe. Lord John must be well aware that, grievous as this Mortara scandal may be, it is the legitimate and necessary consequence of permitting the existence in Europe of a mock Theocracy. The European nations, Protestant as well as Catholic, have concurred to make the head of a particular Church the Sovereign of a particular State. The Sovereign of Rome is the Archbishop of all Chris tendom. His first duty, his paramount office, is to save souls. He is bound to believe, and all his cardinals and clergy, who arc also his ministers and his judges, are bound to believe, that a'l unbelievers in the dogmas of his Church will infallibly incur eternal perdition. In their eyes, the only chance for Sir Culling Eardley' s son or for the Jew Mor tara's son was to catch him and baptise him. These people sincerely believe that Sir Culling Eardley and old Mortara are going the wrong way, just as Sir Culling Eardley believes that the Pope is iden tical with " the mystery of iniquity." In baptising the young Jew who was about to grow up an infidel the nurse did what she considered a good, kind. Christian act ; the priests did what they believed to be a good act when they adopted the newly bap tised Jew and undertook to feed and teach him. The Pope does -what he considers a good act when he protects the priests in the custody of the bap tised Hebrew boy, and refuses to deliver him up to parents who, in his opinion, would destroy his soul. He could not have done otherwise than protect this act of easy proselytism. He would have stul tified himself in the face of the Catholic world ; he caused grief to all the devout members of his Church ; he would have incurred the contempt of all his suf fragans ; he, even he the Pope, would have com mitted an awful crime, had he wilfully, under no compulsion, and as a free agent, put this child out of the Church and handed him forth to certain damnation. How can we ask this ? How can Lord John Russell tell the rulers of a Sovereign State who honestly think thus, and by virtue of their oaths and orders are bound thus to believe,—how can Lord John Russell hope to make such persons see that they are acting in disregard of the com mon rights of mankind and violating the prin ciples of natural justice ? It is not only the Pope who thinks thus and acts thus. We should like to interrogate all these archbishops and bishops, and dukes and peers, and clergy and laity, as to how many of them would protest against the de cision which deprived Shelley of the education of his child upon the ground that in his custody it would be brought up in principles tending . to its eternal peril. This English example varies in degree, but it is the same in principle. The inter ference with the paternal rights of the infidel poet Was the act of an English Lord Chancellor, who may be supposed to have wider views than those of a small-sectary, and who would be shocked out of his reasoning by nothing bat a lapse from Christianity itself. But let us suppose that, as in early times, a Churchman were . Chancellor, or let us conceive that the Archbishop of Canterbury were, by virtue of his office, chief Judge of Appeal in this land, and that the Bishops were the Judges in Or clinary,—is it quite certain that we should not have a series of decisions determining how far the sin of schism can be committed without entailing peril of eternal wrath ? And, when this had been settled, would there be no danger that the Ecclesiastical Judges would feel it their duty to remove the chil dren of Dissenters from the evil teaching of their parents pro salute aninrce? Or take the recent case of Alicia Race. Is it quite certain that an ecclesi astical tribunal would have handed that child over to be taught what they must have believedsto be a dangerous heresy? Or would they have been justi fied in conscience in so doing? Our Court of Queen's Bench did this because it is a lay tribunal, and its judges are sworn to administer the English law, and not to obey the canons of this or of that Church. But can any one say that the decision would have been the same if the clergy in Convocation or the Kirk of Scotland acting in General Assembly had been called upon to decide that controversy ? So with every sect. Give it temporal power, and, to be consistent, it must persecute. When it ceases to attempt to proselytize it surrenders its belief in its own professed faith, or betrays an uncharitable in difference to the perdition of the rest of mankind. To abuse the Pope for retaining this Jew child is more unreasonable than to abuse a spider for en tangling a fly, or a cat for seizing upon a mouse. Believing as the Pope is botind to believe, he must think that the ' course that has been pursued is a merciful course; having the power to protect, he is compelled in conscience to protect,; it is his profes sion to believe, and his sovereign duty to enforce that belief ; even the duty of persecution by fire and sword only stops when the moral sense of the age assumes a density of resistance equivalent to a physical obstacle. Yet the kidnapping a child in order to save his soul is not the less a crime against civil society because the kidnappers are actuated by defensible motives. From the Pope's point of view, and from that of his whole Church, whose opinions he could not with impunity disregard—for even Popes have been before now deposed—the whole affair is per fectly intelligible and perfectly defensible. But it is no less a crime against nature and against all human affections. The proper question, however, is not why does the Pope do this ? but, why has the l'ope the power to do this ? It is not the Pope who do s es this - great moral wrong, but they who sustain him in power, knowing what use his con science will compel him to make of that power. You compel him to represent certain dogmas, and you arm him with sovereign power—can you con sistently express surprise that he is found using his power to enforce his dogmas? In all other caws we are careful to separate doctrinal speculation from physical force. A clergyman is, before all things, a man of peace. A judge is probably a man of strong religious convictions, but he knows that he is ex pected to leave these at the door of his. court, and to direct the physical force which moves at his com mand upon mere mundane principles of men's tem poral rights, upon which all can agree, and not of their internal interests, upon which so many will differ. Here is the evil, and here is the remedy. The Mortara case, and anthousand other cases which vary only in complexion from the Mortara case, are the natural consequences of the temporal power of the Pope. - Take away that temporal power, and the mere theoretical belief of what it would be proper for a magistrate to do under 7iven circum stances would be harmless. A little consideration must, we are sure, convince many of the gentlemen who have signed this protest that they have di rected their indignation against the effect when they ought rather to have applied themselves to remove the cause. If they had asked Lord John Russell to use the influence of England towards separating the temporal from the spiritual power of the Pope, they would have proceeded logically to the end they had in view. The present state of Italy offers opportunities for effecting this object, and' its attainment would do more than any other event to untie the complications of the Italian ques tions. Many devout Catholics would aid zealously, for they see in the sovereignty of the States of the Church a scandal to the Catholic faith. The Ultra montane cry would be sharp arid loud, but it would be short. At this moment it is quite upon the cards that this unnatural union of Priest and King might be divorced if all who wished s - ) salutary an Euro pean reform knew their strength and would speak out. If these noblemen and gentlemen and high ecclesiastics would hope to work any practical good, they muet ask for something more than a useless r4:monstrance from an English Foreign Secretary. They must use their influenc e t o th e p ur p ose o f directing the diplomatic action of this country to wards the supp ress i on of the temporal power of the Popes. Let and in governmen he old ancl capital dispenseof tl justice in Central Caesars, and let the Pope of Rome reign in the consciences of all who form his Church. Then the people will be no longer oppressed, and the Po pe will- be no longer compelled to do injustice as a Prince that he may perform his duty as a Priest. He will have no secular power which his creed will compel him to abase. He and his theocratic Government will no longer be in the false position of being the arbiters between orthodoxy and heresy, and of having to decide as judges what as priests they must perforce consider as cases of conscience.—Tinzes. 2HE PRINCE OF WALES. Our young Heir-apparent is in the thoughts of many to-day. Never had young Prince a more =spleens birth-day, if the festival is to be judged by the affection and happy anticipation it calls forth. Our Prince is not, by character and train ing, likely to mistake the manifestations of this great day of his life, nor to boast of the armour of national loyalty which is investing him as if he had already won victories by means of it, and made him self a noble fame by the use he had put it to. He is modest and sensible enough to know very well that it is in pure trust and lovingness that the people bring him the tribute of their loyalty and joy on his entering the region which, in his case, lies between youth and manhood. It is a pecu liarity in his case—let us hope it will prove a pri vilege—that an interval of three years lies between the ordinary state of minority and that of manhood. Under certain circumstances of calamity to the nation and its Royal family, it would have been ex pedient to avoid the evils of a regency by declaring the heir to be of age at eighteen. As it is, he re mains under guardianship till one-and-twenty. That is, he will not till then take his seat in the House of Peers, and his acts will be those of a minor. It is impossible, however, that, under his peculiar conditions, he can be reg trded, or can re gard himself, as the boy under governance that other youths of his age are. If lie could, under other circumstances, have been man enough to reign in his own name, he must now be man enough to show his quality by his life, his habits, pursuits, and manners. The feeling of the nation is, in fact, that he comes of age to-day, the dry facts of the case notwithstanding; and the curiosity, interest, and enthusiasm throughout the country are vivid accordingly. There is the strongest desire to know what he means to do ; how he means to use his posi tion ; how he regards the life that lies before him. For the few who speculate from the evidences in existence, there are multitudes who frame their ex pectations on their own notions and prepossessions. It is pretty clear that the Prince of Wales is. exempt from the curse of most princes —listlessness, from want of necessary occupation and natural in terests. Activity is the rule and habit of the Royal household, happily for the children, who are trained to work while they work, and play while they play. We see nothing of indolence and its caprices in any member of the family ; and thus the dangers of opening manhood are diminished to the lowest point to the young Princes. If former Princes of Wales had had such a training, and such a home as ours of the present day, their worst sins and most perplexing troubles might have been escaped. By being accustomed to be employed and interested, our Prince now has the power to choose among vari ms occupations, and to expand his life with a diversity of interests. During the next three years he will be indicating the direction in which his abilities and tastes chiefly tend, and will be mak ing for himself a substantial existence under cir cumstances Which debar him from the ordinary devotion to a profession or career. He is to be in some sense a soldier; he is, in some sense, a student; ho must be more or less devoted to the study of law and government, and more or less actively inte rested in politics—the large, deep politics of all human society. A long period of vigorous life, we trust, lies before him, which he must fill up for himself with duties and interests. His own welfare and that of multitudes depend on whether he can' regard his occupations before coming to the throne as no less imperative than those which press on a ruling sovereign. If he can see that the prepara tion for the highest order of duties is as obligatory as the duties themselves, his life will be blessed,' happen what may. He cannot pursue the military profession like a young officer who has active ser vice in view ; but he can study the profession as a man ought who is to be responsible to the State for which the army exists. He cannot pursue the law like a man who may one day be Lord Chancel lor ; but he may bend his best faculties to appre hend its spirit and principles as one who is hereafter to rule by and under the law. He cannot go through a complete academical course at one University, and feel himself a corporate member of it, like the Ox ford and Cambridge men who fill the letirned pro fessions ; but he is already beginning to understand their mode of life, and their views and interests. More than that, there is nothing to prevent his having the advantage over all the preceding Princes of his race in a knowledge and love of literature such as refines the mind, and enlarges the intellectual capacity and sympathy of educated men. The habit of feeling amongst the uneducated children of rank • and fortune is easily and widely understood; and • especially that of Sovereigns ignorant of literature. As there is no royal road to knowledge, so there is no royal entrance to the region of serenity, trust and enjoyment to which intellectual discipline and accomplishment are the key. Hence the avoidance of the society of schclars and authors by the vulgar run of princes, who cannot bear the sense of infe riority, and feel, in the presence of accomplished intellects, that their guests are in possession of a wide world of great interests which they themselves know nothing about, and who avoid the uncomfort able sensation by keeping literature and its votaries at a distance. Widely different from this may and will be our young Prince's habit of mind. His father's comprehension of the nature of science and interest in literature must have influenced his ideas from infancy ; and he has been well introduced into scholarship since he ceased to be a child. The way is open before him—the opportunity, the leisure, the frsedmis—to strengthen, solace, and delight his mind with literature, if he is so disposed. That he may be so is infinitely to be desired, firstfor his own sake, that he may find the blessing of comradeship in the reahn of mind, and next, for the sake of the nation, which has the closest interest in the expan sion of the mind of its rulers. For literature itself and its professors it is of less consequence than for the other parties concerned ; for their own life is sufficient for them. BeLides these objects, there must always be en grossing interests in regard to the passage of events at home and abroad. The great political movements abroad, the vast social progress going on at home, which occupy us all, from year to year, must be of surpassing interest to one who will sooner or later bear his share in the one, and preside over the other, and will have meantime his duties as a peer of the realm. He may exercise a certain amount of admi nistrative power in his Duchy of Cornwall, ere long. There a.:e still other objects with which he might fill up a busy, useful, improving, and diversified life not devoid of good old English amusements, and full, we may hope, in due course, of domestic at tachments. In the choice to which, from this day forward, he must be tending, we shall see how much we may hope and rejoice in for him and the great nation whose welfare is closely bound up in his. Thus far, all is bright and gladsome. It is a common delight to the whole people to see the period of their Sovereign's vigorous health and popular rule em ployed in the fit and careful training of her natural successor. The stronger the promise of a long pre sent reign the finer is also the promise of a worthy future one. Our Sovereign's throne is a great spec tacle to all nations, from its being the safest in the world, fixed as it is on the firm basis of constitu tional liberty. Various fates seem to be lying in wait for other thrones, within the present genera tion. Our hope and confident anticipation is that our foundation will hold good through all tempests abroad and transitions at home ; and one ground of our security is that we have a Sovereign who un derstands at once the gravity and -the cheerfulness of constitutional government, and who brings up her heir in a full sense of the same truth. The popular emotion to-day means, throughout the land, long life and a happy reign to mother and son. --Daily Netvs. Is CONSUUPTION INCURA.BLE ?

"POLICE IN2 ELLIGENCE, Nov. 8. MANSION-HOUSE.--Thomas Cook, a private in the 2d battalion of Coldstream Guards, now quartered at the Tower s was charged with assault ing a married woman, named Mary Anne Rogers,* by strikinc , her in the eye with his belt. The prosecutrix, whose right eye was frightfully contused, said—On Monday evening, a little after nine, I went into a public-house in Fenchurch street, accompanied by a female friend, who was carrying a baby five weeks old. The prisoner was standing at the bar, flourishing his belt about, and swearing that if any policeman went near him he would cut his brains out, there having been some quarrelling going on before I and my friend went in. As he flourished his belt about it passed the baby's head, and I said to him quietly, " For God's sake, sir, don't kill the baby," upon which, with out another word, he struck me a tremendous blow over the eye with his belt, and knocked me down, and while*l was down he struck me a second blow over the head, and I laid there senseless. The Lord Mayor—Did he do it deliberately ? Prosecutrix—Oh, quite so, both blows. The Lord Mayor—Was he drunk ? Prosecutrix—He had been drinking, but he knew very well what he was about. The Lord Mayor—Well, prisoner, what have you to say ? Prisoner—Why, I went there to get a pot of beer, and as soon as it was put down some man seized hold of it—l don't know whether it was her husband or not—and I asked him what he did that for. He said he would knack the life out of me if I spoke to him, and I stood on my defence. I never used mg belt at all to any one. Police-constable 591, who apprehended the pri• soner, said that when called in he found him flourishing his belt with great violence, and saw several deep marks on the counter where the belt had struck. He was very violent on his way to the station, and was compelled to be hand-cuffed to reduce him to order. Mr. Goodman (chief clerk) asked the prisoner's sergeant what was now the regu:ation with regard to assaults with the belt. The Sergeant----They lose the privilege of wearinc , the belt for six month, I believe, or during the pleasure of the commanding officer. Mr. Goodman—What character has the prisoner borne in the regiment ? The Sergeant—Very good, for the five years that I have known him ; but when he gets a little drink—and it has happened once or twice—he ap pears to lose all command over himself. The Lord Mayor—lt was a most dastardly as sault; and I shall mark my sense of its brutality by sending him to prison for 21 days, without the option of a fine. MARYLEBONE.—ALLEGED ELOPEMENT AND ROBBERY.—James Hodson, a respectably-dressed man, about 36 years of age, described as traveller to a brewery firm, and who refused to give his ad dress, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with a robbery to the amount of £lOO, committed under the following circumstances : Mr. Charles Bell, a plumber, residing at 33, Tor riano•avenue, Kentish town, deposed that the pri soner had been in the habit of calling upon him for orders for beer, and that on the 18th of April last he (prosecutor) missed from his house bank-notes, sovereigns, a gold watch, wearing apparel, &c. The money had been taken from a tea-caddy. Upon the discovery of his loss be gave information of the robbery to the police. He also ascertained that his wife had gone away with the prisoner in a cab, and that they , went away with several boxes. Martha Potts, 5, Brill-terraceoSomers-town, said that she had occasionally worked for Mrs. Bell. On the day in question she was sent by the prisoner to the house with a message, and on arriving there Mrs. Bell told her 'that she was going away. At her request witness went fora cab, into which she put several boxes, which she had assisted in pack ing up, and the prisoner, with the lady, went off in the cab. City policeman Dutton, 349, stated that on the same morning (yesterday) he took the prisoner into custody at the corner of Fleet-street, and conveyed him to the Kentish-town station. Mr. Broughton—Did you tell him at the time what he was charged with ? Witness—Yes, your worship. _Mr. Broughton—What answer did he make? Witness—None, sir. Not any of the stolen property was produced by the officer. Mr. Broughton (to prisoner)—lt will be necessary to remand you to a future day. Do you wish to say anything now ? _ _ Prisoner-4 deny taking the money or anything else belonging to Mrs. Bell. Prosecutor said that he had traced several of the stolen articles, and that he was of opinion that upon another occasion he should be able to show that the robbery between the parties was planned some time before it took place. The prisoner was remanded for a we:k. LAMBETH.—THE STRANGE CASE OF AFFITJA TION.—CORROBORATIVE TESTIMONY.—John Len don, a boot and shoemaker, again attended before Mr. Elliott to show cause why an order should not be made on him for the support of an illegitimate child, to whom - Elizabeth Meekson had given birth, and of whom he was alleged to be the father. The case had been previously before Mr. Yardley, when Mr. Edwin, the defendant's attorney, had not only endeavoured by a lengthened and close cross examination to remove the honour of parentage from the defendant, but allowed him to be called into the witness-box. Amongst other proofs of intimacy and such a connexion with the defendant as led to the birth of her child, the young woman swore she slept two different nights with him at two different coffee-shops in the month of September last, and this circumstance and intimacy tallied exactly with the birth - of her child. The defendant did not deny the fact of sleeping two nights with the young woman, but said that instead of September that it was in October, declared that the thing was a mere " plant" on him, and that being very much afflicted at the time with the rheumatics, he had no connexion whatever with her on these or any other occasion. Mr. Elliott observed that this was all nonsense. He must take the defendant's admission of having slept two nights with the complainant as corrobora tive of her testimony, and made an order on him for the payment of 2s. a week for the support of her child. UNFORTUNATE PROPENSITY TO DRINK.—Mr. William Charles Harrison, the son of a tradesman who has acquired a considerable fortune in his business, and at one time relinquished business in favour of his son, but was compelled to resume it again in consequence of an unfortunate propensity to chink, appeared to answer a charge of assault and violent threats preferred against 'him by his wife. From the statements of Mrs. Harrison, it ap peared that the defendant was in the constant habit of being drunk, coming home at all hours of the night in a state of intoxication, dragging his chil dren out of their beds and cruelly ill-treating them, and also striking and ill-using her. Mrs. Harrison deposed to particular acts of violence on the part of her husband, one of which was striking her a violent blow with his fist under her ear, and saying at the time he should " send her to the kingdom come !" A solicitor on the part of the husband here inter posed, and said that the whole of the unfortunate differences that had taken place between Mr. Har rison and his wife were owing to the latter insist ing on keeping a maiden lady, an aunt of her's, in the house, contrary to the wish and will of her hus band. By consenting to get rid of this lady, Mr. Harrison was willingtosupport his wifeand family. Mrs. Harrison said her husband was always drunk, and had not the means of supporting•her or her family, and if it was not for his father allowing her a sufficient sum weekly, her family and herself might starve. The solicitor begged that the case might stand over, that some arrangement between the parties might take place. The magistrate consented to this arrangement, ordering the defendant in the interim to enter into his own recognisances in £5O to keep the peace and be of good behaviour. SERIOUS ATTACK ON THE POLICE.—John French, Thos. Dray, and Wm. Ford, were charged, the for mer with setting off fireworks on the public high way, and the two latter with violently assaulting the police while in the execution of their duty. It appeared after the prisoner French had been taken, and when conveying him to the station, the constables were assaulted by a mob, who pelted hem with mud and all sorts of missiles. The prisoners Ford and Dray were sworn to as having violently assaulted two of the constables, and they were con victed in a penalty of 40s. each, or one month ; and French was ordered to pay 55., or four days. SOUTHWARK.—THE OUTCAST AND HER O FF SPRIN G.—PAROCHIAL HUMANITY.—A poor miser able-looking young woman was brought beforo Mr. Burcham, who gave the name of Johanna Donovan, charged with being drunk and deserting her infant at the door of St. George's Workhouse. It appeared from the evidence of police-constable 221 M, that he was on duty in Mint -street on Tues day morning shortly before one o'clock. That he saw the prisoner rush past him and stop near the door of the workhouse. He followed her, and saw that she had an infant in her arms, and as soon as he got near her she said that she intended to leave the child on the steps of the workhouse door. He ad vised her not to do so, but while he was looking up the street she deposited the infant on the steps and ran away. He brought her back, and, on her re fusing to take care of her child, he conveyed her to the station-house. Mr. Burcham—What became of the child ? Constable—The child was taken into the worx house immediately. I understand it was born there, Sir. Mr. Townson, one of the relieving officers of St; George's parish entered the court at this time, a nd informed his worship that the prisoner was a P a ; rishioner, but unfortunately had misconduet eu herself. Mr. Burcham—ls she a married woman ? Mr. Townson—No, Sir; but still at the same time we do not turn them out. lam willing to receive her and her child again. Mr. Burcham—'l hen she has been in your house before ? Mr. Towson—Oh, yes, Sir. We wish to take care of them, but at the same time it is not r e g ular for her to leave the house. Sergeant Gardner, 25 M—Your worship, the child is nearly starved. Mr. Townson—That's the prisoner's neglect. IVe are willing to receive her. Mr. Burcham—Has the prisoner been i n the workhouse before ? 1 Mr. Townson—Oh, yes, and she has been a d ea of trouble to us ; but she had no occasion to leave her child at the doors. Mr. Burcham—l have every respect for the P i e rish officers of St. George's. They h ave been 1 13 ° humane than any other officers in this district to? wards the poor. Do you wish the prisoner puni she le Mr. Townson—No, sir. If she will come into ir: house where her child is she will be comfortably secured. Mr. Burcham—l must compliment both Afr• / „ a r l and Mr. Townson for their kindness to th e P e ...,1 and I wish the adjoining parish officers had the sawori humane feeling. Prisoner, you are discharge d 'u, condition of going into the workhouse to you r chi The prisoner complied, and was discharged. COUNTRY MARKETS.
