The statesmen of America will, we doubt not, maim every endeavour to avert the mis chief which popular passion and private interests ma: seek to bring about, and they may alFays rely on being supported by the sounder portion of the com munity, as soon as the first ebullition of national feeling is over. On this side of the Atlantic, too much importance is attached to the language of popu lar speakers in the States, and to the resolutions of public meetings ; but American politicians know their countrymen better, and look to the official acts and declarations of their Government. So long, therefore, as the latter refrains from countenancing, the unprincipled designs of a section of its citizens, we may reasonably hope that wise counsels will pre vail, and that the iniquitnul crusade against Cuba will be stopped. The real danger lies in the aggres sive spirit which appears to have become a part of the American character, and which some political acci dent may at any time encourage and stimulate till it is beyond the power of repression or control. TUESDAY ,t NOVEMBER 2, 1852. xIM N 7 N°. 18,757.] LONDON, [PRICE SD. WELLINGTON DIED SEPT. 14, 1852.- These words, encircled by a device of cypress and laurel tntwined, are formed into, and appear on, the surface of a HAT BAND ; and although the colour is necessarily black, cm a black ground, yet the design is so far distinct as to present a desirable and consistent medium for national mourning at the approaching grand public obsequies. The invention is the first patent recorded under the new Act. which came into operation on the Ist of October, the material from which the Hatbands arc made being the same fine elasthe cloth ori gMailY introduced by the patentees in the manufacture t$ the well known garment called NICOLL'S PALETOT (of whit:A the late illustrious Chief was one of the earliest patrons). Armlets are made of Crape, according to the Regula:Mon of the A rmy, with the addition of the above device, and it is probable that both Armlet and Hatband may be preserved as a relic by the soldier and Civilian.

Il lustrated by 50 coloured Engravings, on the Anatomy of the Repro ductive Organs and their relative conditions in Health and Disease. By SAMUEL LA'MEET, M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., Etc. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood,-and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

ELEGANT AND USEFUL. "El MOSES and SON frequently employ three • words to designate two classes of Goods, one the Depart ment of Luxury and Taste, as that of elegant VESTS and TROWSERS, in ten thousand novel FASHIONS, STYLES, and SHAPES, for which their Establishments are universally celebrated ; the other for those STYLISH Inventions in COATS and OVER COATS, for which they have gained a world-wide fame, yet never were three words so practicably used as at the present season. ELEGANCE and USEFULNESS is displayed in such an array of fancy VESTS and TROWSERS as have not been presented on any previous SEASON. But E. MOSES and SON'S innumerable styles of WRAPPERS, CAPES, &c., &c., the names of which are too numerous for recapitulation, and the pecularities of which no words can describe, will, when purchased and worn, be an incontestable proof of E. MOSES and SON'S entire precedence over every other House--a distinction they have long enjoyed, and which they will never loose. Raving purchased to their usual magnificent amount previous to any advance in the price of MATERIALS, their DRESS for this season will be charged very considerably LOWER PRICES, and be FAR BETTER in QUALITY than any offered elsewhere. EMIGRANTS PROVIDE FOR SEA OR LAND. E. MOSES and SON'S OUTFITS are suitable for any passage at any season ; they are prepared for any climate or occupation ; they have been procured by thousands of Emigrants, and at the same low prices, and of the same matchless quality, they can be secured by thousands more. having many years attended to the OUTFITTING BUSINESS on the largest scale, E. MOSES and SON have the highest credentials of merit, having larger and more tradesmanlike transactions than stny other house, they can furnish the most com plete and the best OUTFITS for the least money, and that every accommodation may bo furnished to Emigrants at their Establish ment, they keep a separate department entirely for Outfits. All necessary information relative to sailing of vessels, cost of passage, &c., may be had on application, or Post _free to any part of the Kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesmanlike falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANT OTHER noun ix OR OUT OF LONDON, „"except their own Establishments, as follows London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, oilnories, 83, 84, 85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. "Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—Londan Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. —" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperms torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852. —" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of he subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April 18,1852. riIHOMAS HOOD'S GRAVE.—The publication in Eliza's Cook's Journal of " Lines written at Kensall-groen Cemetry," has induced numerous readers to express an earnest de sire to assist in raising a fund for the p ur p ose of pleiciag a memorial over the remains of "Poor Hood." Many a burst of merriment has echoed above " Hood's Comic Annual," from the lips of all classes. Fur many a year he cheered our Christmas firesides with racy humour, that never wearied by its frivolity nor offended by its coarseness. Far and wide was he known as the Poet of Mirth: but the higher development of his genius and the nobler purpose of his muse were shown in such glorious hymns as " The Song of the Shirt" and - the " Bridge of Sighs." These who have read either of these poems will acknow ledge that such a man deserves to have a mark upon his sleeping place, so that it may be fund without the help of a grave-yard servant, and a'l who have laughed at his itihnitable wit, or sighed over his human tenderness, are now earnestly so7deited to spare what they can in aid of a purpose which is alike praiseworthy in tae living and due to the dead. Far the furthering of this design, the following gentlemen, mem bers of the lb hittinen + Club, have formed themselves into a Com mittee Mr. Mr. Mr. •. J. Balfour Mr. It. W. Roberts '. Campbell Clarke Mr. W. Strudwicko •. Edward Copping Mr. li. Roscoe St. John •. J. Passmord Edwards Mr. George Waller •. 11. C. Maguire Mr. John Watkins, and '. C. S. Middleton Mr. O. W.

The large operations for constructing these International lines being in an advanced state, approaching to com pletion, the attention of the Federal Government of Switzerland was anxiously turned to the subject ; and, by its direction, Mr. Robert Stephenson, the eminent English engineer, after a careful survey, reported upon certain lines of railway, which he recommended as the most essy and practicable in that country. The first of these lines, commencing at ]gorges and Lausanne, on the Lake of Geneva, and terminating at Yverdon, on the Lake of Neufchatel, it is the object of the present Company to construct. This is the most inipertant section of the system ; not only as the Sole possible line of traffic between the two Lakes, but as the main line of railway communication from France and Sardinia into the heart of Switzerland by Geneva. the Swiss valleys generally is c omputed at 2,800 The population of persons per square league as contrasted with 2,280 persons in England, and 1,450 in France ; but the particular morn er tdhiftshtritehtistrhavveerrasgede. important towns of Geneva and by the proposed Railway i must contain many for besides the inhabitants of the 1111 it tr a ns iarg a e nd ac v u i v tl e ag a e n s d on and L ausanne, there are no less tha n uiie 68 w W ithin the close influence of the population.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—Mr. Charles Pearson's plan for a Central City Terminus addresses itself to a problem the very magnificence of which invites a solution. Tne ques tion is, how to take the dense population of the me trupoli, and particularly of the city, to the various railway termini with comfort and speed, hut without increasing the street traffic to an inconvenient and dangerous excess. Had tho importat.ce of that ques tion been duly acknowledged twenty years ego, and bad Parliament or any authoritative body foreseen and realized the present growth of the metropolis and the increase of population and trade, undoubtedly Mr. C. Pearson's labours would long since have been ren dered, unnecessary, and every metropolitan railway would have been allowed, nay, positively required, to push its feeders at least to the two great foci of this metropolis, the City and Charing-cross. But that opportunity came, and is gone. The metropolitan railways are brought to a dead stand in the suburbs, and immense fabrics, covering many acres, interpose a practical, and in some instauces a material obstacle, to the further extension of the lines. The result is, that the many thousands who spend their days in London and their nights in the country, not to speak of mere occasional travellers, have to spend very much more of their precious time in traversing the streets to get to their stations than in travelling thence on the rail to their several homes. Meanwhile, from this and from other traffic, the great thoroughfares have become so crowded as to be often impassable, so noisy that there is no living near them ; and so dirty, that in spite of street orderlies, and other sanitary militia, they fill the air with ammoniacarvaptear or dust. As Mr. C. Pearson mentions, within so short a period as ten years the number of cabs and of tradesmen's light carts has doubled, and cheap "busses" now run in all but continuous streams the whole length of every diameter that can be drawn through the metropolis. These vehicles, indeed, now follow one another so closely on our two principal lines of traffic, that every body feels how easily the aid of horses might be dis pensed with and the vehicles made the links of one chain moved by machinery—that is, if the process could be so managed as to allow passengers to be taken up and put down as freely as they now are. This species of traffic has come to such a pass since the general lowering of fares, that the disorder must ere long work its own remedy in one form or another. Such are some of the evils to be met before they comae worse. But they are not the only inducements to Mr. Pearson's grand scheme. Its principal claims are of a topographical character. In the centre of the metropolis, within the limits of the city, between the two great thoroughfares, near the Thames and one of its old bridges, there happens to be a vast opening, at present of a singularly useless character. Except, indeed, in the Arctic Circle or the interior of Africa, nowhere is there so much good space thrown away as in the area called Far ringdon-street. Northward from this area, along the valley of the Fleet river, runs a vast clearance, to be continued, whether for a railway, or not, half the way up to King's - cross. This is only p ar t o f the topographical case for Mr. Pearson's plan. The strongest part remains to be told. It lies in the cir cumstance that this central desert of London is so much below the general level as to be the greatest nuisance of the metropolis. That nuisance can only be cured by the creation of two levels, for the upper and lower traffic, the upper traffic chiefly east and west, the lower north and south. Now, that which is the only conceivable cure for the natural incon ceniences of the site happens to be an indispensable requisite for Mr. Charles Pearson's plan of a Central City Terminus, which indeed would be wholly im practicable without two distinct levels. When so many difficulties are to be met, and may be met by one comprehensive solution, we cannot be surprised at the absorbing enthusiasm with which so ingenious and so daring a reformer as Mr, Charles Pearson has followed out his scheme. Everything seems to be so pat to the purpose, that like the parts of a Chinese puzzle, the only thing to be done is to put them to gether. It seems a mere question of fitting. " What is one mass's bane," says the proverb, "is another man's weal." It would be the bane of most cities to have such a place as the Fleet ditch and Holborn valley running through it, and intersecting the prin. cipal thoroughfares. Under the scheme now pro• posed it becomes the very making of London, by providing the arca and double levels , requisite for a central railway terminus.• _Put adieu-VI these promising antecedents have beeli "arrayed in the most flattering forms, we come to that ri gorous teat by which so much ingenuity and public spirit are nipped in the bud. :Will the scheme pay ? Will it pay to create a double level over this vast area; to purchase an immense amount of space covered with substantial buildings in the heart of the metropolis ; to construct great markets and warehouses, open to both the upper and lower levels ; to carry four lines of rails, all underground, more than a mile from Holborn.valley to King's cross, through buildings which, inferior as they are, would run up to a considerable purchase-money ; to effect a convenient junction with the Great Northern Railway ; and, after all, to do this chiefly, if not solely, for the convenience of that one railway ? There is the great hitch. The proposed line could be brought to the King's•cros s passenger station with comparative ease, and by a very direct course. But to communicate with the London and North-Western Railway it would be necessary first to take the pas sengers to the Camden-town and West India Docks Junction line, and then delay every train on the London and North-Western five or ten minutes for the convenience of out-bound passengers at the Camden-town station. The up-trains would be liable to a similar inconvenience. We do not see how this is to be remedied, and a recent occurrence indicates the danger of increasing the delays and obstructions at Camden-town station, which is evidently not large enough for its legitimate purpose us a goods station. So much for the London and North-Western. As to the Great Western and all the other railways, the difficulty of bringing the Central City Terminus to bear upon them, seems to increase the further we get round the metropolis. It is evident that several miles of additional railway would have to be made for the purpose, and the experience of the railway now in operation from Camden-town to the West India Docks suffioiently proves that, convenient as these circuitous routes may be to some localities, they are very tedious affairs for the through passengers. We believe that a man may walk from Camden-town to Fenchurch-street in as little time as the railway will take him, so roundabout is its course, and so frequent its stoppages. Here is the real difficulty of Mr. Pearson's plan, and it is confessed in the in difference of all the railway companies, except the Great Northern, which evidently regards his plan merely as a means of pushing into the city at the cost of the adventurous public. We should be delighted to see these difficulties got over, and a friendly reunion of all the railways effected in the valley of the fleet ; but it is a question of engineering, and, though we seem to see our way plain enough to the construction of a city terminus, according to Mr. Pearson's very pretty and ingenious model, we do not see our way so plain to the junction of the metropolitan lines, excepting only the Great Northern. We must wait for an explanation on this critical point before we can bestow on the scheme that unreserved approbation which it certainly would be a pleasure to give to the result of such ingenuity and pains. 11ERALD.—Iler Majesty's Opposition is going quietly to—the dogs, wherever those insatiable ani male are to be found. They will have tough work of it, but are hungry; and the sight of the plump Quaker Bright, arm-in-arm with Cobden and Lord John, lean though they may be, will m a k e th e afore said dogs lick their lips. Yesterday we called atten tion to one or two mournful notes issuing from the enemy's camp, through the wailing pipe of the Globe —the air being, "/t won't do 1" Let us hear now the Observer of Sunday last—whilom one of the loudest in announcing that Ministers would have to encounter, on the opening of the session, a n over powering opposition, which would scatter them to the winds. Hear now " We believe we may certainly announce that the com mencement of the session will exhibit no regular and concerted movement on the part of the Opposition.. . • We believe we are not premature in stating that no im mediate steps will be taken by the leaders of the Oppo sition to displace the present Ministry—such as it is. . . Of regular organised, concerted opposition there will be actually none—at least not on the opening of the ses- Thus we see that the Opposition is rapidly melting away, like a series of dissolving views, before the warm, but insufferable reality of a powerful Minis try. The Liberal prints are driven to all sorts of shifts to account for a fact which is patent to all the world besides—namely, that the Ministry stands its ground and gains ground because of the country's confidence in their characters, and satisfaction with what that Ministry has already done. Nowhere appears a solitary symptom of real distrust or dissa tisfaction ; and as f o r the . tones, its artillery has failed to dislodge or even disturb a Ministry whom it bas assailed from day to day, from week to to week, from month to month, with a fell but fer tile pertinacity, that has berved only to render its own sayings absurd, and itself ridiculous. Of all its outrages uf on public feeling and opinion, none can compare with t he use to which it has turned the death of the great we rrior statesman, lying yet unburied only in order the .t his obsequies may be celebrated with a magnificence becoming his mighty memory. IVe doubt whether there was one of its readers that did not revolt froi n its audacious and heartless assertion, or insinuation, that these obsequies had been delayed in order to extract from it—political capital ! After a considerable abstinence, the Times of yesterday re curs to the pending obsequies for the purpose of re presenting the death of the Duke as an instance of " extraordinary luck to the Ministry ; and pro ceeds in a shocl:ing strain of levity and heartlessness to run a parallel between the entombment of the illus trious departed s,nd that of the so-called principle of Protection ! It suggested to us whether, in such an article, we could not see the entombment of all that is dignified and high-toned in British journalism. Providence has called away the great man whom we have lost, when it saw fit to do so, and no one can have deplored more sincerely or more profoundly the loss of so great a guide than the Noble Earl now at the head of the Administration, and whose political opi nions, in accordance with those of his Grace, have lost in his death the immense support which they derived from his presence and sanction. But the Uarl and his Ministry adhere to those principles of sound policy, wisdom, and moderation, which ever actuated him who is gone, and, we doubt not, share largely in his single-minded determination to discharge their duty and despise calumny, come from what quarter it may. As British journalists, we protest against so foul a violation of the sanctity of the tomb—to cruel and indecent an outrage upon the wounded feelings of the country, as was to be seen in the Times of yes terday. Deplorable and desperate indeed must be the cause which requires thus to be supported. ADVERTISER.—The little episode between Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Lucas, at the Conference of the Friends of Religious Equality, was amusing, if not remarkably instructive. .Mr. Maurice Leyne has joined in the squabble, and now we have two Irish Romanists of some note maintaining that religious persecution neither is, nor ever was, a principle of their Church, against Mr. Lucas, who defends the ferocious bigotry of Leopold of Tuscany, on the prin ciples of Catholic toleration and religious equality. If each of the disputants is perfectly sincere, either the world has been in error for centuries, or two Irishmen, to whom it gives credit for a liberal educa• tion, are totally ignorant of a well-known fact. We have on several occasions taken notice that Roman Catholic gentlemen are profoundly ignorant of the history of their own sect, and the doctrines and maxims of their priests, and in so doing we have, of course, taken their own assertions as uttered and intended in good faith. As an instance, we may men tion that Mr. O'Gorman Mahon told Mr. Spooner and the House, that though he had been brought up in a Jesuits' college, be had never heard of maxims and doctrines which were fit only for a priesthood of Sodom and Gomorrah. We then gave him full credit for truth in an admission which proved that he had not so much as seen the celebrated Provincial Letters of Pascal ; and that he had never heard that copies of the Jesuits' books were publicly burned by the com mon hangman at Paris, in 1762, after a formal sen tence by Parliament, for containing the same senti ments and maxims as th ose w hi c h M r . Spooner had Just read to the House from the class books in common use at Maynooth. Though nothing is more easy than to go into a public library and ascertain the fact, by consulting the works of the Jesuits them selves, here was a Popish legislator proclaiming in public his total ignorance of matters that are notorious to the rest of the world. Persons who are in this wretched and benighted condition, may well be ex pected to swallow down all the monstrous absurdi ties and impostures, which are so thickly presented to them by their astute instructors and guides. Mr. Sergeant Shee affirms, that religious persecu tion is not a principle of the Church of Rome, and Mr. Lucas that it is. There is no middle path between them : it must be one or the other. If the learned gentleman were ever at Rome, he may have observed a long and gloomy building, near the Pope's palace. It is the material sign of the princi ple vindicated by his opponent. It is the Inquisition, which not long since was formally re-established for the suppression of heresy, as the religion of the Gospel, " the pure Gospel," using the words in the accusation and sentence of the Madiai, is stigmatized by an authority, which has dared to call the Gospel of t Christ, " a Gospel of Man, and a Gospel of the Devil." We presume that Mr. Sergeant Shee will not venture to deny the universal practice of his Church, in regard to all other religions, where she has had the power to slay with the sword, the axe, the gibbet, the rack, and the blazing pile, and that the question is whether the Church has always acted thus in direct opposition to her ancient principle of tolera tion and religious equality. It is not improbable that the stale artifice of mental reservation has been brought into play in this case, and that there is some paltry quibbling with words. The thing, however— that is, the principle of persecution—still remains, and we find it difficult to believe, that this gentleman is really ignorant that it forms a part of the canon law, which every priest by the eleventh article of the creed of Pius IV. is sworn to "receive, and profess all other things defined by the sacred canons:' Popes and doctors have not been quite so mealy-mouthed as these " Friends of Religious Equality." We read thus in the bull of Gregory VII., " We absolve all subjects from their oaths of fealty which they have sworn to princes excommunicate ;' in that of Gregory IX., " We excommunicate all heretical princes, and absolve their subjects from their oaths and duties of allegiance ;" and that of Pius V., entitled " The Damnation and Excommunication of Elizabeth, of England, and her adherents, with an addition of other punishments," we read a passage, which must he given entire : s. 4. And, moreover, we declare her to ba deprived of her pretended title to the kingdom aforesaid, and of all dominion, dignity, and privilege whatsoever. " S. 5. And also the nobility, subjects, and people of the said kingdom, and all others, who have in any sort sworn unto her, to be for ever absolved from any such oath, and all manner of duty, of dominion, allegiance, and obedience ; as we also do, by authority of these pre sents, absolve them, and do deprive the same Elizabeth of her pretended title to the kingdom, and all other things aforesaid. And we do command and interdict all and every of the noblemen, subjects, and people, and others aforesaid, that they presume not to obey her moni tions, mandates, and laws. And those who do the con trary, we do innodate with the like sentence of ana thema:* This malevolent bigot had no doubt about the prin , ciple ; neither had the author of the Papal decree, " Heretics may be lawfully spoiled of their goods, though it had better be done by authority." " Heretics may not be termed either children or kindred, but according to the old law, 'thy hand shall be upon them to spill their blood.'" Liguori was canonized in 1839, and Cardinal Wiseman has strongly com mended his works. He had as little doubt of the principle as the Popes. He writes of heretics thus : " If the accused confess his crime, the sentence is to be given ; if not, he is to be led to conviction, or the torture, because torture is a help to proof, when argu ments and signs are very efficacious, and thus a full proof may be elicited.' He also writes—" Heresy is so noxious a pest, that it may require a severe remedy." We presume that Pius V., when ho insti gated the Bartholomew massacre, was not acting in opposition to the principle of his Church ; and that Pius IL., who recently denounced Professor Nuytz, of Turin, for denying that the Church has power to coerce heretics, was persuaded that this principle exists. Besides, what is the foundation of his con cordat with Spain, that no religion but the Popish is to be tolerated there ? or the meaning of the oath of Popish bishops—" All heretics, schismatics, and rebels against our said Lord and his successors, I will persecute and oppose to the utmost of my power ?" Mr. Maurice Leyne staunchly contends against the existence of the principle of persecution, which is honestly admitted by the heads of his Church. "As a Catholic and Irishman," he writes to Mr. Shee, " I was delighted at your bold and vehement denunciation of the barbarous tyranny of the Duke of Tuscany." Again he says, o lt is indeed an odious and impious doctrine that men are to be imprisoned for religious offences, and chastised for maintaining any form of doctrine, or for reading any work bearing on religious questions." The canon laws, Papal bulls and decrees, and Popish doctors say quite the contrary; but English Protestants are never again to pay the least attention to Popish protesta tions. He continues thus But the notion that it is a crime for a man to read the Word of God in his private house, is a theory so false, foul, and unholy, that one can only wonder how it could gain support ers among the followers of a religion which has for three centuries battled against persecution and pro scription." If be will turn to the encyclical letters of Gregory XVI., Leo XII., and Pius VII., he will find the very reverse so strongly insisted upon, that others can only wonder that even an Irish Papist can have the assurance to write so much at variance with the fact. They have battled for three centuries against persecution. Be it so. In those centuries occurred the massacre of the Protestants by More and O'Neale, and also the other massacre of Protestants at Drogheda. Toe following is a boot of Irish indignation, in to is a startling and monster dogma, and one • which would justify an extended application of the bloody propagandism of Mahomet or of Cromwell! " This is another instance of the gross ignorance of Roman Catholics respecting well• known things. Cromwell never was a propagandist. After the horrible butch ery of many thousands of Protestants, he was sent into Ireland both to punish the murderers and to pro tect such as had escaped from their fury. " A horri ble ,plot," rays Mr. Daniel Wilson, his biographer, " had been organized for blotting out the very name of Protestantism, and erasing every trace of English rule or occupation in Ireland." Cromwell made short work of the "Levellers," as those friends of re ligious equality called themselves, for in two months after the ma ssac r e a t D rog h e d a he was engaged in the war with the Scotch. Yet, so little do the Irish know of history, that they fancy that this great warrior and statesman had time or care to trouble himself with converting their countrymen in any shape, or by any means whatever. He was sent to punish Popish murderers and protect the Protestants, and he did both so rapidly and effectually, that ever since his name has been a bugbear; and yet a man is found in the 19th century gravely writing of a soldier statesman that be was a " bloody Propagandist." CHRONICLE.—AIthough the summer has passed away without any new attempt having been made on Cuba by the adventurous citizens of the United States, it is certain that American ambition has not aban doned the hope of annexing the " Queen of the Antilles." The failure of the expeditions of last year seems only to have rendered the innexationists more cautious in their proceedings. Those lawless schemes were, it is true, discountenanced by the Federal Go vernment, and the feeble Executive at Washington did what it could to frustrate them ; but the instinct of aggression is not so easily repressed. The reckless adventurers who infest the great cities of the Union, far from being warned by the fate of their unfortunate comrades, appear to be only waiting for an opportu nity of renewing the invasion with a better prospect of success. The design is openly avowed, and it is not condemned by public opinion. The truth is, , a great portion of the American people, intoxicated with prosperity, and lending a greedy ear to the flat tery of demagogues, firmly believe that the empire of the New World belongs to them ; and they accord ingly look with indulgent complacency upon the efforts of their advanced guard of irregulars. Such a state of feeling gives great latitude to the energy of those who are willing to take the initiative, and to encounter the risks of an annexation campaign. American opinion does not scan very critically in fr actions of international right, and is fully prepared to adopt the advantageous results which may be obtained by the marauding citizens of the Union. This process has already been twice gone through, at the ex pense of a feeble and almost unresisting power. The annexation of Texas and the conquest of California originated in the aggression of private adventurers upon the rights of Mexico. Their success was ap• plauded by their countrymen, and the Executive of the United States was; at length compelled to support a movement so creditable to the enlightened patrio tism of its authors. After such a precedent, it is not surprising that the invaders of Cuba persist in their euterprize, confidently believing that a fortunate conjuncture may at any time force their Government to recognize and to second their designs. The ex peditions which last year left the ports of the United States to assail the territories of a friendly Power failed at every point. As they were not of sufficient force to meet the Spanish troops in the field, whilst the Creole population refused to rise in their favour, the affair was speedily finished; and the discomfiture of the Filibusters damped, for a time, the enthusiasm of those who had projected and prepared the invasion. So complete and hopeless a failure was of course regarded, in official quarters, in its true light of a piratical incursion, and the Federal Government did not venture to countenance an outrage for which no excuse could be offered. Nevertheless, despite all its fatal consequences, the adventure was not generally reprobated, as it ought to have been, by American opinion. The associations by which it was organized still survive, and they include a large number of per• sons, who are said to have considerable funds at their command. Their hopes have been revived by recent events in Cuba, and although their future movements will probably be less precipitate than those of last year, it is certain that they are prepared to take advantage of any opportunity which may arise from the dissensions between the Spanish Go vernment and its colonial subjects. The dis affected Creoles receive assistance and encourage ment from the United States ; their journals are printed in America, and are introduced by American agents ; and supplies of arms and ammunition have been furnished from the same quarter. In fact, Spain hils to deal not only with its own discontented sub jects, but also with the American sympathizers, who are most active in their hostility, and who, whenever they are threatened, appeal to their countrymen for " moral support," and to the Federal Government for protection. Under such circumstances, we can scarcely blame the Spanish authorities, at a moment when they are menaced with an insurrection in Cuba, for taking any precautions which may appear neces sary to repress foreign interference in the affairs of the island. It may or may not be true that unneces sary and injudicious rigour has been used in prevent ing the landing of American citizens at the Havana yet, all things considered, we cannot condemn the Spanish Government for exercising a right which it undoubtedly possesses, nor can we subscribe to the resolutions passed at "indignation meetings" at New Orleans and elsewhere. The President, however, seems to have been so far influenced by what has occurred as to have dispatched a man•of-war to the Havana, to protect the American flag. We shall be glad if it turns out that this step has been taken with the view of controlling American citizens, rather than of coercing or intimidating the Spanish authorities ; but it is clear that every means will be employed by the anti- Cuban party to implicate their Government in the matter, and to persuade the Americans that their flag has been insulted by the officers of a European Power. It is very far from our intention to impeach the good faith of the Executive at Washington in these transactions. On the contrary, we are disposed to believe that Mr. Fillmore has done all that lay in his power to prevent the designs of the Filibusters from being carried into execution. But, as has been seen on former occasions, the moderation of the President is of little avail to restrain the aggressive propensities of American citizens, or to keep within bounds the national instinct of acquisitiveness. The exaggerated licence of individual action which exists in the United States, owing to the enormous field open to the rest less portion of their population, has produced a habit of lawlessness, which is, to say the least, extremely dangerous to those countries which enjoy the doubtful advantage of territorial contiguity to the free and en lightened Republic. In the case before us, there is a constant and a scarcely concealed conspiracy against Spain, for which not a shadow of provocation has been given. The " Order of the Lone Star"—as the assoelatieu of freebooters Is rumautluslly deslg uaLed— carries on its operations in a time of profound peace; and when the Spanish Government, naturally alarmed at demonstrations so unmistakeably hostile, institutes precautions against their authors and abettors, at tempts are made to raise a cry that injuries have been done to Americans which must be avenged by arms. It is simply the fable of the wolf and the lamb over again. Yet this flagrant wrong is sanctioned by the public sen timent of the Union, and the pious moralists of Boston and Philadelphia enter no protest against it. The truth is, the American people are too apt to view these things with reference to their own political ad vantage, rather than to the strict rules of morality. They know that the Cuban Creoles are an effete race, and they believe that Spain has not strength to de fend her colony. They also perceive that the acqui sition of the island would bring w ith it the commo..tid of the Gulf of Mexico; and w hilst Soutthheern r owing dcompensate ans look to annexation to preponderance of the North, ando ressitiorteh ad the balance e ventu between the Free and Slave States, for rous spirits of the Union are eager war. t The he pluuder, excitement, and glory of a successful mu ch for American pro spect of such a dvantages is virtue, and overpowers the better influences by which d , under other circumstnces, moralusoed.There is no reason to suppose that th e authors and enlightene a people would hav e been gia of the present movement h a ve any sympathy with th e Creoles of Cuba, or that they are anxious t o aid in the emancipation of a r ace whom they desp ise ; and they certainly cannot be slavebe re garded as particula rl y zealous on behalf of the population of the isla nd. It is neither a p oli t i cal nor a social propsgandism in which the Order of the Lone Star is enlisted — t he whole affair is simply a specul a ti on , which may or may not turn out to be profitable, but for which, at any rate, no excuse can be found. The American people would do well to reflect on the con sequences which may follow from so flagrant a viola tion of law and right, and on the just cause of offence which would be given to European Powers by the unprovoked invasion of Cuba. No State, in modern times, has ever been powerful enough to set itself . above the law of nations with impunity ; and even the boasted strength of Republican institutions would fail in carrying •outa policy of systematic viclence The following is the otlicial " Order of Opening the Canvecetion of toe Clergy of the Province of Canterbury, on Friday, the sth day Of November, 1852."—The right rev. the bishop;, and the clergy of the proviece, who have been cited to uttend the Convoc e ti on , will assemble' in the cathedral church of St. Paul's, London, at a quar ter before 11 o'clock in the forenoon. Tile bishops, in their habits and convocation robes, will be admitted at the north gate of the area of the churchyard; the clergy, in their gowns and hoods, will be admitted at tbe senth gate. The Most Reverend the Archbishop of Canter bury, with his chaplains, will arrive at the Chapter house of St. Paul's at about eleven o'clock, and will be there met by the Dean of the Arches, the Vicar-General of the Province, and the Chancellor of the Diocese of London, accompanied by the ad vocates and proctors of the Court sf Arches. His grace will thence proceed, attended by his chaplains and the civilians, to the west entrance of the cathedral, where he will be received by the dean and chapter. The Archbishop, on entering the cathedral church, will be met by the bishops and the clergy of the province, and will be conducted up the centre aisle by the dean and chapter to the dean's stall in the quire. The bishops will follow his grace, and take their seats on either side in the stalls of the canons.

The litany of the convocation will then be said in Latin, the Right Reverend Bishop of Llandaff, as junior bishop, officiating; after which the anthem " Oh, pray for the peace of Jerusalem" will be sung. A Latin sermon will then be preached by the Reverend J. A. Jeremie, D.D., Regius Professor of Divinity in the University of Cambridge. After the sermon the "Gloria in Excelsis" will be sung; upon the conclusion of which the archbishop will pronounce the benediction in Latin. Divine service being ended, the Most Reverend the Arch bishop, attended by the bishops and other members of the convooation, will proceed to the Chapter-house, where the archbishop and bishops being seated, the Vicar-Gene ral will present to the archbishop the Queen's writs of summoning and proroguing the convocation. His Grace will thereupon direct the registrar to read the Queen's writs, which having been read, the Bishop of London, as Dean of the Province of Canterbury, will return the archbishop's mandate, presented to him by the chan cellor of the diocese, with his certificate that it has been duly executed. The certificate having been read aloud by the archbishop's order, the registrar will preasonize the bishops mentioned in the return, and the archbishop will refer to the Vicar-General to report upon the certifie eates transmitted by them, and upon the letters of proxy. The registrar will then read, by the archbishop's order, the schedule of contumacy, by which all parties cited and not appearing are pronounced contumacious with a reservation of the penalties until a further day, which schedule the archbishop will sign. The arch bishop will then admonish, in a Latiu form, the clergy of the province to withdraw, under the guidance of the Dean of St. Paul's. to the aisle on the north side of the quire of the cathedral church of St. Paul's, there to form themselves into a Lower House, and to choose a pro locutor, end to present him for approval and confirma tion to his grace in the Jerusalem Chamber, at West minster, between the hours of nine and eleven in the forenoon, on Friday, the twelfth day of November, to which day the convocation will stand prorogued. The clergy of the province having thereupon withdrawn to choose a prolocutor, the archbishop will substitute his vicar-general. Dr. Travers Twiss, to receive from the Dean of St. Paul's the report of the choice of a prolo cutor. The registrar will then read the schedule of prorogation, whereby the convocation will stand pro rogued to the Jerusalem Chamber, at Westminster, on Friday, the twelfth day of November, between the hours of nine and eleven in the forenoon. The archbishop and bishops will then depart, leaving the Vicar-General at the chapter-house to receive the report of the choice of a prolocutor by the clergy in the Lower House.—(By authority) F. H.

Yesterday morning an accident of a serious nature at the Old Brighton Railway 6tatiusa at occaAoned by the 10 o'clock express train from Brighton running transversely into a 4 ' pick-up" train. The pick up was being shunted from the down line to the "up" prior to its being run into the siding, and by seine strange neglect at the time when the express train was due. The enginl and tender of the latter were crippled, the tender being torn from its bed and twisted round, and the solid tim ber on which it rested rent into :Anal' particles. Fotr.• of the carriages attached to the express train were reueli shattered on the side which C;;1:110 into collision. The tars` carriage, which was loaded with luggage, was greatly broken up, and looked as if a battery of grape shot had been poured into it. The debris of the pick-up was scat tered about on all sides, and the ground between the rails of the up line was torn up for several hundred yards. One of the carriages of the pick-up was turned over and thrown off the line. Information was forwarded by the telegraph to London, and Mr. Edward Cock, head sur geon at Guy's Hospital, was sent down by special train to render assistance. In the meantime dispatches were sent for Hr. Harris, Dr. Holman, and Mr. Steele, sur geons from Reigate, and they promptly arrived. Con sidering the injuries sustained by the carriages, it seerati extraordinary that no lives were lost. I.`lany of the passengers received cuts and contusions, chiefly on th head and face, from the force by which thay were thrown one against the other ; but the only injury incurred of 0_ serious nature was by a lady who resides at Rogency square, Brighton, who sustained a compound fracture of the leg, and was attended home by Dr. Holman. A largo body of men under Mr. Rigby, the contractor, were quickly set to work, and in the course of a short time rendered the line fit for trafrie. Four of the men; viz., James Clark, guard to the goods train, Brewci, switchman at the goods station, Wm. Lamb, driver to the goods train, and Hallows, stoker to the goods train, were apprehended and Viken in custody to Rei gate, where they were brought before J. W. Freshfiehol, Esq., chairman, A. Froz , T, Eiq., and Sir B. Brodie. Mr. Slight, secretary of the railway, Mr. Llawhins, superintendent of the goods depariment, and Mr. Acton, superintendent of the company's police, were in at tendance; and the parties having undergone a prelimi nary examination, were remanded upon bail, themeelve? in 50/, each, and two sureties each iu 201. THE ARCTIC REGIONS.—In the summer of 1848, Captain Iteays , i n the whaling ship Superior, penetratedthe Arctic Ocean , t hrou g h Behring's Straits, and en countered in bis adventurous pursuit all the dangers of an unknown an d Polar sea. lie was, however, success ful in his enterprise, filling his ship with oil in a few weeks. Influenced by the report which ho brought back as to the abundance of whales, severiil shipowners in the United States fitted out a large fleet for those grounds; and in 1849 Captain Reays was followed by 154 sail, each vessel, with her outfit, being said, on the average, to be worth thirty thousand dollars, and manned by thirty able-bodied seamen each. The fle•et took, that season, 206,850 barrels of whale oil and 2,213 cwt. of hone, and the trial was regarded as a most prosperous one. In the summer of 1850 nearly 150 vessels, manned as already mentioned, and of the average same average of thn alue, followed in the same tiault, end. in te e few weeks left in those inhospitable regions, they t oo k 243,680 barrels of oil and 3,264 cwt. of bond. In the year 1851 a fleet not less numerous than the have been preceding I was fitted out, but th e results do not appear to yet officially reported: THE CORFORATION OF LIVEILFOOL.—The Cot- F oration account s, for the y e ar ending 3d of Augu s t last, showed that rho surplus income of th e est:. , t4 , ' t and utio n ° a u ; t -w n making, sla i P amounted to 28,342 h, from which sum 11,3511, h a d b een and 8001. altogether, of 12,0004 As these expen se s the sum had been cf ap p r opriated o r i t t i l s t e charitablec' to t a in i a s h ti animal occurrence, it was assumed that they would be continued iii after years.

It would appear therefore, th a t, su pp os i ng t h e i ncome or the expenditure of the Corporation to be the same as in the last year, the Council would only hare at their (*poss.! an annual surplus little exceeding 2,000. AMERICAN OlL—From the returns Of the Board of Trr de it appears that the importation of American oil has presented a steady annual increase, some iticl of which may be formed when it is stated that, in the year 1848. the quantity imported wns 536 tone, whist: in 1S50:, it reached 3,145 tons. The Greenland fishery, of late years, hag materially diminished. In the Southern Pacific we have not half-a-dez2n ships; whilst the French and Americans number seven or eipht hundred ; and our colonial bay and sea whaling, as car ried on at New South Wales and Van I)iemen's Land, has been destroyed by the temptation which high wages have presented to shore employment. Thus, the total value of oil and whalebone exported from Sydney and.
