BRUSSELS, Nov. 20.—The political discussion on the address was terminated to-day in the Chamber of Deputies. The amendment proposed ry Mr. Rogier, which raised the question of confidence, or, more pro perly speaking, of distrust in the Ministry, was rejected by a majority of b 2 to 32. Thus the Chamber, by a majority of 10, has decided against the opposition. The Chamber then commenced the discussion on the paragraphs. The examination of the budgets in the Chambers is either terminated or very nearly so in the sections. Several of them have commenced the examination of the project law, relative to the several measures to be taken, in consequence of the dearness of provisions, and on the crisis of our linen manufacture. _ In the first section, Mr. Rodenbach proposed, and was supported by several Members, that the credit for one million two hundred thousand francs asked by the Go vernment to assist those communes the resources of which shall be proved insufficient, shall be raised to double that sum. Complaints have lately been made respecting the high price and scarcity of cast iron in Belgium, and on the high import duties on foreign iron. We will only ob serve, that since the law of the 4th March, 1846, upon the entreptits, that inconveniecce may easily be reme died, as respects articles destined to be re-exported. Very lately we expressed a hope that merchants of Antwerp might find it possible, by making some efforts to attend to Antwerp the steamers which an American Company is fitting out for speedy organization of a line of steamers to trade with our continent with the inter vention of the Government of the limited states. A letter from Bremen addressed to the Augsburyh Gazette, announces to-day that this communication will shortly be organized between New York and Bremen. All other nations says the correspondent, have attempted in vain to obtain this advantage. France is said to have desired it for Havre, England for Liverpool, Belgium for Antwerp, Holland for Rotterdam, and Denmark for Gluckstadt. The correpondent continues by enumerating the advantages which this negotiation will procure to Germany, which he seems to consider as already realised. A terrible accident took place yesterday at half-past seven in the evening in the coal mine of Saint Barbe, near Leruing. Seven workmen were going down into a shaft about 200 yards in depth, they had descended only a few yards, when the rope broke, and the unfortunate men fell to the bottom. Their death was instantaneous. They were so dreadfully mutilated that it was necessary to call all the workmen together in order to identify the dead bodies. DUTCH FUNDS.--AMSTERDAM, Nov. 16. Money.

It has been said from days of yore that popularity could not be obtained in the political world unless by agitation. In the memorable year 1829, though his Grace of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel carried the measure of honourable amelioration towards the Ro man Catholics, still they were far from being popular in its usually understood phrase. In 1840, and years prior, the consummate skill and talent of Sir Robert were acknowledged by many learned and disinterested persons, still, being the chief of a powerful party, the leader of a haughty aristocrocy, many of whom had virulently opposed the people, he (Sir Robert) was viewed with suspicion by the masses. His connexions ruined him. But, when 1846 dawned, when the speech of his life was delivered, thereby shipwrecking the ill directed power of an intolerant party for ever—when the malignancy of an oligarchy had no limits, when the . Premier was truly sacrificing the sove rei g nt y of power by a conscientious concession , wh en he spoke with dig nified eloquence, rebuking, convicting, and calmly ex posing with the terrible force of a master-spirit, the sophistries, slanders and mis-statements of his defamers, the people were amazed ; they marvelled at his temerity, they wondered at his exhibition of manly firmness, his noble bearing when savagely bearded by nobles (I); they stood astounded at his continued adherence to them ; going to work, at their meals, or returning from work, he was the theme ; the contest raged in Lords and Com mons, and calumny bitterly assailed Peel ; the people were intently watching ; the final night arrived ; rancour poured out its vials, and the recipients of mono poly ran the gauntlet of shameful invention; Peel's hour had come; the people were waiting the fate of their measure with painful anxiety; Peel's speech was delivered, shattering, crumbling, pulverising, and destroying all the advanced opposition, and electrifying with astonish ing effect even his antagonists with the attainments and qualifications of his mind and unbounded researches ; the people hailed him with raptures; he reigned in their hearts and became the most popular man of the day without one attempt at agitation.—From a Correspondent. PRESENTATION OF COLOURS TO THE 36TH REGI MENT, AT WEEDON.—At ten o'clock on Tuesday morn ing the 36th Regiment was form d into three sides of ii square, in front of the officers' quarters, when shortly after. the Lieutenant-General commanding, Sir Thomas Arbuthnot, appeared on the ground, accompanied by his pers-mal staff. The day was unusually fine, and nothing could exceed the brilliancy of the whole scene, the aris tocracy, clergy, and gentry of the neighbourhood and surrounding country having assembled to witness this interesting ceremony, upon the invitation of the officers of the regiment. The usual ureliminaries having been arranged, and the new colours placed in front of the square on a drum head the earrison chaplain, the Rev. G. P. Bennett, proceeded to d , liver a few remarks pre vious to the presentation taking place. It would be im • possible to conceive anything more chaste and classical that the eloquent speech made by the reverend gentle man on this occasion ; his address and enunciation were the theme of universal admiration. This done, the chaplain preceeded to deliver a shi .rt prayer in consecrat ing the new colours. Immediately after the Lieutenant- General addressed the soldiers in .an able and heart stirring speech, reverting to the former noble deeds of the gallant corps, which was well responded to by Lieu- i tenant-Colonel Ashmore, in a [short but appropriate speech, in which he thanked the Lieutenant-General on his own part and that of the regiment, for the very hand some terms in which he had spoken of the corps. The usual forms having been gone through, this interesting ceremony was concluded by three cheers for the Queen, and three cheers for the regiment, to which was added three cheers more by request of the Lieutenant-General, in honour of the ladies who had graced the happy scene that day with their presence. At two o'clock a magnifi cent dejeuner a la fintrchette was prepared in the mess room, to which nearly three hundred of the neighbour ing nobility, clergy, and gentry sat down, on the invi tation of the officers of the regiment. The tables groaned with the viands, and every delicacy that the season could afford ; sparkling Burgundy and hock liberally circu lated, and the attention and urbanity displayed by the ladies of the regiment, and the officers also, were most conspicuous, each vying with the other in attention and devotion to their guests. The company separated at three o'clock, but re-united again at six o'clock in the evening, when dancing, polkaing, waltzing, &c., were resorted to, and the day's festivity was closed by a most magnificent supper. Thus ended a day's amusement, which will be long remembered in the garrison of Weedon. —Northampton Mercury.

THE GREAT BRITAIN. soon as the Pope left the Piazza of St. Peter's, a marshal of the court, called the soldano, bearing attached to his saddle two sacks of money, scattered the coin with both hands among the people, so skilfully that the more they thronged around, the farther off the specie was thrown, to prevent the impeding of the procession. The depu ties of the Jews presented themselves on the way, with a copy of the Pentateuch, and thus addressed his holi ness:—" We, Hebrews, 0 most blessed father, in the name of our synagogue, supplicate your holiness to deign to confirm and approve the Mosaic law given on Mount Sinai, by the Omnipotent God, to our Pastor Moses, in the same manner as other supreme pontiffs, predecessors of your holiness, approved and confirmed it." The pope answered—" We praise the law, but condemn the observance and intelligence in which you The Queen and Prince Albert walked, in the forenoon yesterday, in the phintations of Osborne House. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, took pony and walking exercise yesterday. Her Royal High ness the Princess Helena was also taken an airing yes terday, in the pleasure grounds of Osborne House. Her Royal Highness the Princess Caroline of Hesse took leave of her Majesty the Queen Dowager on Sun day, at her residence, Cashiobury-park, Herts, and pro ceeded to town, attended by the Baroness Scheel and.

The Princess afterwards went to pay a visit to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, at Gloucester House, and took leave of the Royal Duchess. Soon after seven o'clock yesterday morning, the Prin cess attended by Baroness Scheel and Baron Meysenbuch went from Marlborough house to the Bricklayers' Arms station, and took her departure by the South Eastern Railway for Dover, en route to the Continent. The Earl of Denbigh and Mr. Bedford attended her Royal Highness from Marlborough-house to the railway station. Baron de Brunnow, the Russian Minister, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office. The Military Secretary to the Commander-in Chief transacted business, yesterday, at the Home-office. Lord John Russell had a dinner party yesterday even ing at his residence, in Chesham- place. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Having read in your paper of yesterday an article headed " Hints for Floating the Great Britain," which " Hints," in my opinion, come nearer to the prac tical effect of doing so than any of those proposed, and with much less expense, I would beg leave of " Hints," &c., to allow me to tail on to his one or two of mine. First, clear the vessel completely of every incum brance within her, machinery and all its appurtenances, having ready such a number of strong empty water buts (tight and well bunged) as would complete two tiers of them stowed regularly in her hold, fore and aft, (in the manner Indiamen formerly used to stow their water for long voyages), securing them in the Great Britain to the keelson, either by lashing or beams athwartship ; when the ground tier is complete, stow the second the same way, securing them firmly by cross beams and upright stantions to the deck above ; when this operation is finished then apply the brewer's vats, in the manner proposed by " Hints, only with this dif ference :—they should be placed when the vessel is as nearly high and dry as possible. When all is secure and so far ready then the gear for heaving off should be got ready and well manned. Allow, then, the flowing tide to enter the hold of the ship ; as she fills the buoy ancy of the casks within and the vats without will float the body. should all so far succeed all after is easy, as when in -deep water the leaks can then be stopped by sweeping her bottom with a sheet of the " Galvanised India Rubber ;" having it ready, with guys and hauling ropes, such as are fitted to a thumtree sail at sea to stop a leak. Your admitting these suggestions a space in your national valuable paper will oblige an OLD SAILOR. Woolwich, Nov. 20, 1846. hold it; inasmuch as Him whom you say is yet to come, the church teaches and preaches in all lands, to be already come, and our Lord Jesus Christ." It was an incident characteristic of these wild times (1484), that when Pope Innocent was borne on the portative chair from the church of St. Clement, where he had left his horse, to the Lateran, the impetuosity of the people was so great, that the soldiers who carried him were driven into the church with a violence which placed the pontiff in no slight danger, and in their way to the portal from the high altar, many of the cardinals were thrown down before them. When the Pope was seated at the altar, the antipbon was raised "De atercore erigitpoperem," &c., to remind him that he owed his elevation to the provi dence of God, and not, like secular princes, to birth or ancestry. He then scattered copper money among the people, saying, " Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have will I give thee." After the ceremonies in the Lateran, he was taken to the adjacent chapel of St. Sil vester, and seated at the portal in a porphyry chair, where the prior handed to him a rod in sign of correc tion, the keys of the Basilica and of the palace, the sym bols of his apostolic power; and then girded him with a zone of red silk, from which hung a purse containing twelve jewels allusive to the apostles, and a porticn of musk, allusive to the words of St. Paul, "We are a sweet odour of Christ." THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANE. Italy has ever reigned supreme as the Queen of Song• She is now putting forward strong and undeniable claims to be considered the Queen of the Dance also. Carlotta Grisi and Cerito by birth, Taglioni by descent, are numbered among her daughters ; and to these must now be added Sophie Fuoco, the beautiful, elegant, fas cinating Milanese, who bids fair at no distant period to surpass all her rivals. She repeated the character of Betty, in the ballet of The Wags of Wapping, and the more we see of her the more do we feel convinced that the day is not very far distant when Sophie Fuoco will be hailed as "pas excellence," the Deesse de la Dance. She at once takes her place among choerographic artistes, as a genius, the originatorof a school and of a style. It is true, that in speaking of her characterestics, we must compare her to the originators of other schools, and say that she approaches nearer to the school of Ellsler and Carlutte Grisi, than she does to any other, but then the style of Mademoiselle Fuoco differs to a much greater extent from that of either of those two great artistes, than they differ from one another, and yet no one would think of classing Carlotta Grisi as of the school of any of her predecessors. She has formed a school of her own, so has Mademoiselle Fuoco, and ere long her disciples will be far more numerous than even those of Carlotta Grisi. Ease, grace and elegance, are the great characteristics of Sophie Fuoco, and she pos sesses a muscular power which is astonishing in one so light, so lovely, and so sylphlike. For instance, what can surpass in grace and elegance that wonderful art which she performs entirely on the points of her toes, it is grace and elegance personified, and it is not until that pas is finished that the spectator, on reflection, be comes aware of the immense muscular power that must have been put in action during the performance of this unique and unrivalled feat of choerographic art. Her acting too is beautiful. There is an espiegle simpli city—a naive coquetry about her impersonation of the character of Copp's niece, that is perfectly bewitching, and to add to her fa cinations, she possesses those two powerful magnets of attractions, youth and beauty. No wonder then that she has created a furore in France and Italy, and still less wonder that the furore is surpassed by the enthusiam which she excites every night of her appearance at Drury Lane. The engage ment of Sophie Fuoco is decidedly the greatest hit Mr. Bunn has yet made. REGULATIONS OF THE FRENCH RAILWAYS. The Moniteur of the 18th November contains a royal ordonnance, issued on a report of the Minister of Public Works, fixing the general regulations that are hence forth to be observed by all railway companies in working their lines. This ordonnance contains not less than 78 articles, referring to the several sections of the way ; working stock ; the composition of trains ; the depar ture, circulation, and arrival of trains ; fares ; superin tendence of working; regulations relating to passengers; and general arrangements. The following are the principal points referred to : The " possesso" of Alexander VI. (1492) had sur passed all former ones, but the full blaze of splendour was reserved for that of the magnificent promoter of the intellectual interests of his age, the great Maecenas of the church, Leo X. This pontiff ascended the throne 1513, and from the beginning of his reign displayed that taste for the gorgeous which distinguished him no less than his generosity towards the intellectually gifted. He determined to ride in the procession to the Lateran on the horse that had borne him when taken prisoner, a year before, by the French, at Ravenna. He did not use the ,' triregno" of his predecessor, Julius IL, but another of cloth of gold, with three circlets of gems, and decked with peacock's feathers. A crown of these feathers had been used also by Innocent HI. (1198), their introduc • tion being intended to convey a symbol of the transi toriness and, apart from divine aid, the feebleness of all earthly power. In the procession of Leo, coins of gold and silver were profusely scattered amongst the people; two hundred horsemen in white and red livery opened the train ; then followed the servants of the cardinals and a hundred signors of the houses of Orsini, Colonna, and others ; then musicians, grooms, chamberlains, standard-bearers, two figures of Cherubim borne aloft on poles, the Gonfe.loniert of the Roman people, of the Knights of the Teutonic Order, and those of the Order of Jerusalem, the standard of the church, borne by the Duke of Murone, the horses of the papal stud, legates, nobles, princes, and other assistants. The palfrey bear ing the blessed sacrament, surrounded with torches and shaded by a canopy sustained by eight Roman citizens, preceded the more solemn train of ecclesiastics, with the canters of the papal chapel, and other officials. After his body guard, rode the Pope, under a canopy, his bridle held for the first stage of the journey by the Duke of Ferrara, and the last in the pageant was the bearer of the canopy called the " Ombrella ponaificale," in complete armour, but bare-headed. As the procession moved, the collegiate bodies of the churches it passed presented themselves with censors and chanting of hymns. Altars had been erected in the streets, resplendent with tapers; and triumphal arches, with devices in which mythology was sometimes blent with Christian imagery. One of the above-mentioned arches presented, at one façade, a figure of Apollo, between two fountains of wine, and on the other, Christ giving the keys to St. Peter. Another presented the statues of Numa Pompi- Has and Antoninus Pius, two of the wisest monarchs of ancient Rome with the inscription, "Non de ccesorum numero, fusoque cruore, sed de sperata pace trophea damus." On another were bas-reliefs, representing kings and princes embracing each other, children burning the weapons of war;with their torches, in appropriate allusion to the peaceful auspices which greeted the new reign. According to the rubrics for all these occasions, the procession, on reaching the Gesi Church, turns in the direction of the Capitol, where the senator of Rome, at tired in purple and cloth of gold, with a jewelled collar and a sceptre of ivory, attended by his judges, officials, and guards, receives his Holiness kneeling, and, in a brief Latin address, promises him obedience and fealty in the name of all the senate and people of Rome ; to which his Holiness replies in the same lan guage. Descending the Capitol, the cortege passed for merly under an arch whose erection was the hereditary duty of the Dukes of Parma, and afterwards of the King of Naples, the heir of their property; and in later times, instead of the presentation of the Scriptures, the Jewish deputies were admitted to pay homage to the supreme pontiff in the " Campo Vaccine," and after wards, for motives of convenience, at the Arch of Titus, " The Way.—The stations are to be considered part of the public domain, and as such to be regulated by the superior authorities. The entrance, the circulation, and the standing of public or private carriages are to be subjected to the decisions of the Minister of Public Works. The repairs of the way and of the works depending on it, though evidently at the discretion of the companies are to be made known to the Government authorities who can interfere when anything is unsatisfactory. The crossings and passages on the line are to be subjected to government regulations, particularly in what relates to the barriers required for the latter. High embank :et' no ls ° , bt clients, viaducts, and bridges over rivers and streams, B, e ivc w e.s ell aTr li he t e u yin p a . s ve to l, ck & .

All stations, ‘l passagesTh e Gl W n or th ki e ng le r t e h e te fir b s e t instance to be subjected to certain proofs of strength, for the boilers, axletrees, provided with an apparatus to catch the pieces of coke falling from the furnace, so as to prevent their reaching the ground. Every means must also be employed to prevent sparks from issuing from the funnel, whereby property along the line has, from time to time, been set on fire and consumed. The report regrets that the grating at present in use is not found to be efficient. Axle-trees are in all cases to be made of wrought-iron of the first quality. " Composition of Trains.—All companies are bound to furnish a sufficient number of carriages of every descrip tion to supply the wants of each station. The hours fixed by the company for departure are to be rigorously observed. As the public, in a great measure are depen dent on railways for their mode of transport, these two regulations are absolute on all companies whatever ; when any exception to this rule is permitted, as in the case of direct trains, it is the government authorities who must regulate the matter. In cases of like or extraordinary movement from one point to another, the company is obliged to provide an additional and suffi cient number of carriages of every class ; the number of carriages for a sigle train is not to exceed 24, and this is to be considered rather as the exception than the rule. Double locomotives are permitted, as otherwise trains would be multiplied to a dangerous extent. But when ever the second locomotive is employed, the cause of such proceeding must be entered in a book. No matters liable to explosion are to be transported in a train in which passengers are carried. A means of communica tion must always be established between the conductor and the engine-driver. " Departure, Circulation, and Arrival of Trains.;—A number of articles refer to the measures of precaution to be used in starting trains at proper hours, so as to leave a sufficient time between each ; the maximum of speed ; the precautions to be taken in passing through tunnels, &c.; they also regulate the passage of extraordinary trains ; the obligation of communicating by signals ; and the general superintend ence of the line. Registers are to be kept at every station for marking down the causes of all delays. No train is ever to leave before the hour appointed in the printed lists. " Fares.—The conditions of the concession generally regulate the tariffs, but a company may lower its prices, if it thinks fit, subject, however, to the condition of keeping them so, for a certain time. As a general rule, however, no changes: whatever can be made by the company without first submitting them to the govern ment authorities. Railways that have been conceded prier to 1835 will not be subject to these regulations until April 1, 18 47 . Equality o f c har g e is to be stric t l y enforced, as. otherwise the companies could become unjust to one locality at the expense of another. " Superintendence of Working.—This section, which has been already in great measure anticipated by the Railway Police Bill, dwells on the appointing royal commissaries and their functions. It is unnecessary to do more than simply refer to this part of the report, since its chief provisions are already known to the public. " _Regulations Relating to Passengers.—All persons unconnected with the company and the service are for bidden to enter the premises of a railway without per mission, or to stand or circulate, or to place there objects of any kind, or to introduce horses, dogs, or other animals, or to cause vehicles of any kind to circu late there. Government authorities are an exception to this clause. Passengers are not to lean out of carriages, or pass from one to another, or carry loaded firearms, or leave a carriage when in movement ; the other prescrip tions are generally similar to those in force for common carriages. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.---FRENCH PLAYS. M. Perlet was to have made his debut here last even ing, but in consequence of the continued indisposition of the first of artists, his debut was unavoidably postponed. En Revanche we had Mademoiselle Brohan in three pieces—in Le Roman dune heure, and in Les Rivaux d'eux memes, and in Le Bonhomme Richard. The last piece, which was produced for the first time on Friday, is one of the best of modern French vaudevilles. It was only produced in Paris during the last few days of Sep tember, and the fact of it being produced at St. James s, so early in the season, is a proof of the enterprise of Mr. Mitchell in catering for the amusement of his patrons. Le Bonhomme, Richard (admirably acted by Cartigny) is a cotton manufacturer in the provinces of France, a true Utilitarian, who swears by Franklin, and is constantly quoting " Poor Richard" as the modern Solomon. He has a nephew, a certain Mons, Ovide, who - has been domiciled in Paris to learn the' mercantile usages of the capital. But M. Ovide has a taste. He forms a liason with an eleve du conservatoire, whose friend Fanfinette (Mademoiselle Brohan) is the most espiegle, and at the same time the most open-hearted of soubrettes. Le Bonhomme Richard receives from his Parisian correspondent most awful accounts of the doings of Ovide. He frequents the society of Lions, and incon testibly the good country relations imagine that he must be either a Van Amburgh or a sacrifice to the carnivor ous propensities of the wild beasts of the desert, but when the letter goes on to state that he frequents divans, his uncle concludes that he must be turned Turk, and determines to proceed at once to Paris, to reclaim him. The uncle arrives, and finds Ovide in all his glory. Ovide shams sick, but the uncle soon finds out the sham. His serious lectures are, however, inter rupted by the espeigle Fanfinette (Mdlle. Brohan), who invites him to supper, coaxes him into accepting the invitation, and by her fascinations, aided by sundry glasses of champagne, completely gets round Bonhomme Richard, who discovers that there are other things in the world worth living for besides getti ng mone y. Th e acting of Mademoiselle Brohan throughout this scene was the ne plus ultra of artistical excellence. She coaxed, she wheedled the old man with the most tascinatlig air in the world. It was impossible to resist her frequent invitations to take wine, and then her laugh was unapproachable. We have many good laughers on the stage—one lady excels in the simper, another in the sneer, another in the conventional hysteric spasm of the respiratory organs, which gives what the Americans would call "a pretty considerable good imitation of a laugh," but none approach to Mademoiselle Brohan ; hers is the honest, jocund, ab 'olutely infectious " Haw I haw I haw I" which, with a silvery ring, resounds through the house, and sets all who hear her laughing for very sympathy. Cartigny in this scene was admirable. He is fascinated with the charming Fanfinette in spite of himself, and at last dis covers that there is something more worth living for than is taught by the theories' of mere utilitarians. The moral of this piece, which is elicited by contrasts, is ex. cellent. It teaches us that neither mere utilitarianism nor mere gaite de cceur is sufficient for human happiness, but that for the judicious admixture of all the qualities of the human mind, sentimentalism, utilitarianism, and love of enjoyment, results common sense, that great — that transcendant quality most praised, yet seldom ap preciated, but which when reached is the perfection alike of genius, of success, and of happiness. The house was well and fashionably attended. the memorial of their overthrow, a strikingly signifi cant, if accidental, arrangement. The ceremonies within the church have long been observed according to an in variable order, whether the use of horses in the preces sion was dispensed with or not. (Amongst all the Popes, only nineteen are recorded to have gone otherwise than on horse-back.) The chapter of the Lateran meet his holiness outside the church, with two crosses and two pavilions borne before them, implying the pre-eminency of their church over all others, " Orbis Ecclesiarum Mater." After receiving their homage, his holiness enters the portal, kneeling at its threshold to kiss a golden cross, presented by the cardinal arch-priest, then ascends a throne, where, after vesting for the rites within the church, the same cardinal presents him with the keys of the Ba• silica, one gold, the other silver, in a gilt basin filled with flowers, addressing him, at the same time in Latin. The clergy of the Basilica then pay homage, and his holiness is carried into the church on the portative throne, first to the altar of the blessed sacrament, where all kneel to adore, whilst the Te Deum is sung, afterwards to the high altar, for a second act of worship before the relics of St. Peter and St. Paul: thence he passes to the throne in the tribune, and on receiving the obeisance of the car dinals, places in the mitre of each the "presbyterio," a do nation of two medals of gold and silver. The first cardi nal priest, with the auditors of the Rota and Concis torial Advocates, then passes to the altar, where the lauds, " Exaudi Christe, &c." are sung. His Holiness then repairs to the same altar, and gives the benedic tion, leaving a purse of silver money as the accustomed offering at the confessional, or shrine of the apostles. The cardinal deacon then places the triple crown on his head, and re ascending the portative throne, he is borne to the loggia of the grand facade, where the benediction is given to the people in the usual form. The procession returns to the apostolic palace in the same order.— Abridgedfrom the Roman Advertiser of October 24. General Arrangements. —No person can sell any thing within the precincts of a station without permission from the authorities. When a line crosses several de partments the attributions conferred by the present regulations on the several prefets may be concentrated in one. Every person employed by a railway company must wear a unif orm , in order that the public may at once see, in case of need, to whom they are to apply. Signal-men, guards, and barrier keepers may wear a sabre. At each station a book must be kept to receive the complaints of passengers. Copies of the present regulations are to be constantly kept placarded in all stations ; copies are also to be given to each person em plo.‘ ed, and whatever relates to passengers is to be hung up in each carriage." THE STIRLINGSHIRE WOOLLEN MANUFACTURE. The manufacture of tartan shawls and plaids from wool may be said to be a branch of trade indigenous to the north. The Highlanders of Scotland were the first of whom we know anything who wore chequered gar ments composed of that material ; and so well acquainted were they even centuries back with a becoming arrange ment in striping them, that each feudal lord and his vassals had fixed upon a certain composition of stripes with certain colours, by which they were distinguished from all the rest ; hence the origin of the clan tartans. They were worn, as is well known, only in the lower part of the dress chiefly, though all who could attain to it had coats and vests of their favourite check. And so proud were they, and tenacious of their clan, and this their showy garb, that a Highlander has been known to wear them in the olden time to shreds, rather than lay them aside for other apparel. The Government of George the Second, after the dis astrous battle of Culloden, in passing the Disarming Act, declared that it was as essential to prohibit the wearing of the tartan• kilt, in order to restore and ensure a continuance of peace in the Highlands, as it was to take away from the hardy Gael his gun, his skein-dhu, or his broad-sword, and so the wise legislators of those days decreed accordingly. How altered, indeed, are the times, when even Majesty itself will wear them, and thereby encourage their growth ; and now, besides all the clans, from Frazer to Campbell, or Mac Kenzie and Mac Lean, we have the Queen's Welcome, and the Queen of Beauty, and scores of other fanciful checks, the result of exquisite skill, taste, and arrangement. If we then can admire all this—and if we then regard it as it ought, in an important commercial point of view, we must—we are compelled—to laugh at the silly idea of our legislators at all interfering with the colour or shape of the clothing which the people, or any portion of them, may feel disposed to wear. Had that part of the Act succeeded in its working out, probably no such kind of work would have been now seen amongst us ; but the mountaineer, while he might be refted of his kirk or claymore, could not be stripped of his clan kilt, unless they proceeded to turn him adrift in his native nudity, to browse on the heath with his own mountain roe. He had no other kind of cloth, and would have none. Laying aside his predatory habits and mixing more freely with the people of the low country, the latter, in course of time, became attracted with his flaunting plaid as he strutted proudly by, and the looms that were em ployed in the weaving of course home-spun, or blankets, were soon turned to the production of tartan shawls, of various kinds and qualities. It is, however, only within t h e se few years that the trade has ramified to such an extent, and reached our town; and as it is likely still far ther to increase, and may, as it has done already, super sede other kinds of the loom's productions, we will give some account of how it is carried on, in detail, in Stir lingshire, the principal seat, as yet, of its manufacture. And here, we may remark, that it is not the native grown wool which is used. The Cheviot and the sheep of the far off Australasia are mingled together in the product of a shawl in Stirlingshire. The fleece or bail is obtained, it is picked, and often classified er sorted, as it is termed, into three. It is spun, dyed and scoured, woven, dressed, or waulked, if necessary, and made fit for the wearer, and all shcse processes are performed under the same establishment. From this, it will be seen at a glance, that those manufacturers possess a superiority over the Paisley manufacturer, who buy their yarn from the spinner s and know nothing at all of the first operation of the trade. We once heard a Stirlingshire manufacturer say, who had fallen behind with his yarn in consequence of the fitting up of some new machinery in the room of the old, that it would be better for him, for a little to give SPORTING INTELLIGENCE TATTERSALL'S.—YzszERDAY.

THE POSSESSION of the LA.TERAN 1 his idle weavers a small compensation, and go about, rather than b u y y arn an d k eep t h em wor king. The motive power o f th e mac hi nes f or t h e most par t is water instead of steam, which was at first doubtless a great inducement to their location, and unless in the long droughts o f summer t h e streams afford a plentiful supply. It is very pure, also quite free of chemical analysis, and therefore well adapted for dyeing and scouring. Thousands of gallons pouring down the dark-winding Carron, or the clear-winding Devon, classic streams, contribute in this way to a great purpose in the social economy of life, instead of, as in by-gone days, wasting themselves in the ocean Firth below, or at most serving as themes for the hero's wail or the poet's lute. _ Having said so much in respect to the manufacturer, turn we to the weaver, and we perceive at a glance the advantages which he possesses in the working of wool over the Paisley operative. The whole of the plans are different. He glues his own web ; this may be thought by some no advantage, but it is, as he can size it accord ing to the quality of his yarn, and an experienced hand is, in this operation, very particular. How many excel lent warps have we seen in Paisley rendered nearly un workable by being too firmly glued, and how many of a softer texture, that would have required a quantum more. and. might have given to the weaver 3s. or 4s. a-week ad ditional wages. In bad weather it is indeed a tantalising matter to the Stirlingshire operative the Blueing of his web, as the operation is performed in the open air. but when it -is fine we have seen it gone through in about two hours, and the method of doing' it is the beg calculated to do the least injury to the yarn.. After his glue is boiled, say one pound of sheep-skin to twenty pounds of warp, he makes up a quantity suf ficient to wet the warp through ; not all at once, this would be too much, but about the fourth part of it. He then wrings it out with the assistance of a neighbour, in the same way that a woman wrings her blanket or petticoat, it is then stretched at its length along hori zontal stakes, a coarse rail is put through it, and when these webs are carefully handled, we have seen them when taken off, put upon the beam as quickly and with as little broken yarn as any cotton warp, this is seldom or never the casein Paisley. The loom of the north is also very different to that of ours, the pace or benting power does not hang as with us, there is on the yarn beam a row-head just as we have in Paisley on the fore beam, a string is attached to the clink or hook thereof, and is led to the front, so that the weaver can ease it when he pleases wiihout leaving his seat, besides the beam on which the yarn is, a square beam is placed about 15 inches behind the heddles over which the warp passes. By this means the yarn sustains the least pos sible amount of friction before it comes to be acted upon by the reed, lay, and shuttle, which as every weaver, who is in the least acquainted with wool; knows to be of the utmost importance. The cloth passes over a beam of the same description, and is taken on upon one below. This is also an advantage, as it does not bulk up to alter the place of action in the reed on its floating on the lay. Their shuttles, too, are vastly larger, they will take in a pirn holding a full number of yarn, so that the labour in this alone is abridged, when they are compared to Pais ley shuttles, seven-eights, at least. It is with these and other advantages rest the reasons why the wages of the north -country woollen weaver are superior to those of his Paisley brother for the same kind of work. The prices per yard are about the same, but the former will double nearly the latter in quantity, and with short hours, too, their time being from six, A.X., till half-past six, P.M. with forty-five minutes for breakfast and as man y f or dinner ; and although the shop or factory be open, during these intervals of labour, no one is permitted to sound his shuttle on any account. Their wages are good during the busy season, which generally occupies from seven to eight months in the year—that is from the beginning of March till the latter end of October. The remainder is short time to all, un less an order comes to hand, which is certainly superior to the Paisley method of some going entirely idle, while others may be fully employed ; but, let it be remarked, we speak of factories, and such alone, or nearly so, ob tains in Stirlingshire. We may remark that the wages will run from 15s. to 20s. a-week, and many of them who are very expert will keep up, during the busy season, from 44 to 51. a-month, and even sometimes more. Nor does this in the slightest degree tempt the cupidity of employers to break the wages —no, indeed ; on the con trary, their remarks to the weavers tend rather to stir up and keep alive a spirit of emulation amongst their workers. They tell them not unfrequently to keep high up on the pay roll, for they feel a pride in it. Nor will the weaver—while he works with a long stretch, fretting his yarn before it comes to the shuttle, and making it as frizzley as a sentimental wig, with his hanging pace straining the thread, while at the same time it is yielding, and will not assist the heddles in opening up a cou'-se for his shuttles, while these shuttles are so small that in the changing of pirns alone his labour is increased seven-eights—ever be able to count the wages of the northern artisan, be his skill and ingenuity in other respects what they may. But here we feel we must stop for the present. The importation of this thriving branch of our national in • dustry, which bids fair yet to command customers in the furthermost quarters of the globe, ought to be looked to by all taking an interest in the prosperity of our town, with a wistful eye, while men of influence and capital would do well to turn their attention fully upcn it ; and sure are we, that while it would prove a source of wealth to themselves, it would improve the condition of the operative vastly, who now, poor man, languishes on 6s. or 7s. a week, while they would reap the reward of this besides, in a joyous heart, in a conscientious feeling that they had done something to smooth a rugged path of life, and mitigate to some extent the catalogues of human woes. —Glasgow Satuiday Post. • REFORM in the RU lAL S OCIETY. (From the Lancet.) Saint Andrew's Day is drawing nigh—the day on which the official programme of the Royal Society will be drawn up f'or another year. The present would, therefore, be a fit season for reviewing the proceedings of the society during the scientific year, which closes on the 30th of November. But we can only refer to parti cular points. Besides a numerous array of minor lathes, we have charged those in authority, with three specific outrages upon the constitution of the Royal Society. In the first place, they have doubly violated the re gulations under which the Royal Medals are awarded— regulations which have received the sanction of her Ma jesty, by giving a Royal Medal to a paper which did not legally come within the cycle of years for which the award was made ; and for a paper which did not appear in print in the "Philosophical Transactions" until nearly a year after the medal was given away. In the second place, we charged the secretaries and the Physiological Committee with having broken the statutes by allowing the author of the paper to which the Royal Medal was illegally awarded, to receive back and alter his paper, without the permission of the council. And in the third place, we have charged the secretaries with trampling under foot the whole constitution of the Royal Society, by printing an extended communication from a person not a fellow of the Society, and which had neither been read, nor referred, nor considered by the Council in any way, having, in fact, as the printed date proves, been sent to the secretary subsequently to the last meeting of the Council for the year. We stop not to enquire into irregularities of former years—it is enough to say, that all these subversions of the statutes belong to the present year alone. , These charges, as our readers know, were made distinctly, nominatively ; it would, indeed, have been a treason to truth not to have done so. We charged the parties concerned in the court of public and professional opinion, and they have acknowledged the competence of the tribunal by pleading to the indict ment. They have all responded, have all held up their hands—some with the plea of not guilty, some with ex planations, some with equivocations, a n d a ll w ith ad missions f one kind or another. Besides the corres• pondence of the injured parties, letters have been elicited from Dr. Roget, the senior secretary; from Mr. 8011, the secretary of the Physiological Committee; from Drs. Todd and Sharpey, the two referees in the case of the recent medal; and from Mr. Beck, and Mr. Newport, the two royal medallists by favour, but not by right or desert; and, lastly, from the Noble Presiden, the Mar quis of Northampton himself; while the rest of the par ties engaged have been busy with private repudiations of all part in the discreditable transactions, and members of the Council have been running to and fro to examine into the truth of things about which they had judged in the absence of evidence or inquiry. Never before, in the annals of the Royal Society, has there been such a series of charges—never such a series of replications. Such has been the contradictory nature of the communica tions, that we have sometimes bee able to stultify the state ments of the individual writers, by bringing them into self collision—the facts and acts of the same party at dif ferent times or places being in inexplicable contradic tion. At other times we have proceeded by the equally easy mode of knocking the statements of one party against the opposing facts of another. Their official conduct has reduced them to such a condition, that the mere touch of truth has been sufficient to throw them into a state of moral polarization, particle instantly re pelling particle, and mass opposing mass. But the profession have seen the changes, the evidence adduced in their support, and the defences set up. The parties implicated are, with the exception of the Pre sident, all of them professional men, and with the r fession rests the verdict. Let th em , t h en, throw their pebbles into the urn of the republic of medicine, and decide for punishm en t or acquittal. We do , not wish to aggravate the matter, but we ask—What would be said to the secretary of the Medico-Chirurgical Society, ,if he could have dared to assume in his own person all the functions of the society, and to print papers without the sanction of the society, or sanction of any kind; in the " Medico-Chirurgical Transactions?" Or what would be said if the treasurer of the Bank of England were shown to have malversated the funds at his command ? And are not science and scientific fame things as dear to the rightful possessor, and as important to the nation, as ever mere money can be ? We say it advisedly. At the present time, the whole system of scientific polity in this country is rotten at the core as regards those who are charged with its ad ministration, and as regards the code to be enforced. That the men in power are either lax to an extreme de gree, or utterly unprincipled, we have shown again and again; and the machinery entrusted to these infirm or impure hands is equally to be condemned. Science ad vances with an increased impetus from every century and from every generation; yet the polity of the Royal Society, our chief scientific institution, clings pertinaciously to its venerable regulations, clogged as they are by time, and by the altered condition of knowledge. Where Science formerly numbered its tens, it now numbers its thou sands of cultivators; advances which were formerly the feature of a generation are now the events of a day. Science never sleeps; yet the Royal Society hybernates, or rather falls into perfect torpor, annually, from June to November. It still moves on in the antique round, when the London year commenced with the fogs, and ended with Midsummer. To the savans the 30th of November is still the beginning of the season, as it was in some remote era, the date of which can hardly be specified.

An ancient usage was then followed, of having the blessed sacrament borne in a golden ciborium, I on the back of a richly caparisoned white mule, sur , rounded by twelvo assistants with great wax torches. ill the eeremobial of Innocent VIII we read that as this semi-fossilized state, the grossest violation of statutes, charters, regulations, and by-laws, are per mitted with impunity. Times and dates being altered as they have been—papers being tampered with in the way we have stated—and papers being printed without the sanction of the Council,—no anatomical or physiological discovery is safe. We say anatomical and physiological, because the more glaring outrages have occurred in these departments. If a greater than Harvey were now to arise, his labours and his reputation would not be safe i n the hands of the present officials of the Royal Society. This is not mere assertion, but a close induction from the proved facts. Of late years, whenever any man has signalised himself in these departments, some_ puppet has straightway been fostered at Somerset House, to the defamation and injury of the right man. Sir EVerard Home, the pur loiner and destroyer of John Hunter's papers, was-sup plied from the coffers of the society' with the funds for appropriating the labour of his illustrious predecessor. The expensive plates of his work on " Comparative Anatomy," illustrating one hundred and nine papers in the "Philosophical Transactions," were executed at the cost of the society. Mr. Mayo, who attempted to deprive Sir C. Bell of his just fame, was long suffered to be upon the Council, than which a greater insult could not have been offered to this distinguished man. More recently we have seen Mr. Newport set up and rewarded, it is scarcely known for what, while the discoverer of the reflax function has had his papers blackballed, which, to his noble and independent spirit, was ostracism froiß the society. Later still, Dr. Lee makes an anatomical 'dis covery, and, as if in obedience to some mysterious and inevitable law of wrong, a non-discoverer is raised un to usses and worry him in his career. Evis of this magnitude cannot exist in one depart ment of science without being an indication of the unwholesome polity pervading the whole. They are so, in fact, at this time, when an event of the highest importance is eng 'ging the attention of the sci entific world. We allude to the newly discovered planet. It is now well known that our countryman, Mr. Adams, a member of St. Jobn'sCollege, Cambridge, had first cal culated the existence and position of the new planet in September, 1845, that he sent these calculations to Mr. Airy, the Astronomer-Royal, and to Mr. Challis, of the Observatory, Cambridge, in September and October of that year. M. Le Verrier, a young French mathe matician, made, in June, 1846, a calcul a tion w hi c h yielded fewer of the elements of the discovery than those obtained many months before by Mr. Adams, and sent them 0 Mr. Galle, of the Observatory of Berlin. Professor Airy does not seem to have looked at all: Professor Challis looked and saw the planet twice in August, yet did not publish the matter. But M. Galls, though he had received M. Le Verrier's calculations many months after Mr. Adams had sent his to Mr. Airy, and though he did not see the planet until six weeks after it had been twice seen by Mr. Challis, was able to publish it first through the French Academy, and thus to take from this country the glory of the discovery.* While the French Academy was active, our Royal Society was in its six months' sleep, or, in all probability, Mr. Challis would have sent his observations to this the legi timate channel. In this way of the greatest things of the age has been partially or wholly lost to us! The intellec tual triumph clearly belongs to Mr. Adams, with whom all must profoundly sympathize. Oceanus would have been his but for the slew and formal technicalities which sur round science in this country. He did even more than hi Le Verrier, but Mr. Airy, our Astronomer-Royal, did not turn his tube into the heavens so promptly as M. Galle, the astronomer of Berlin ; Sir John Herschel was not so vigorous and eloqUent as M. Arago ; and the Royal Society has proved itself no match for the activity of the French Academy, or rather it has not appeared on the stage at all : otherwise the genius of England would have been unequivocally before that of France, we should have added Oceanus to Uranus, and the name of Adams would have been higher than that - of Le Verrier, or even of the elder Herschel himself. We put the question last week, " What will the Mar quis of Northampton do ?" When he was first elected into the Society, in common with other Fellows, he subscribed the obligation and promise to " observe the statutes and orders of the Society " in his own person when he arrived at the Presidential chair, it became his especial duty " to execute," himself, or, " see to the exe cution of the statutes" by other persons. It can be proved from the minutes of the society that he has him self infringed the statutes, and that during his Presidency the statutes, orders, and royal regulations, have been ha bitually broken by those in authority under him. Will he for the future observe and cause to be observed, the sta tute of the society in the letter and spirit ; will he do any thing to repair the wrongs which have been inflicted on men of science by former irregularities, and we do not scruple to say, illegalities ; and will he set himself in conjunction with the Council, to bring its organisation into a state fitted to lead and foster the science of this coun try as it at present exists ? Each of these points is of the utmost importance. So long as irregularities are permitted in the reading and printing of papers, in the constitution of committees, and the awarding of medals— so long no discovery made amongst us can be safe. Com mon justice, and the present and future character of the Royal Society, imperatively require that the wrongs already committed should, as far as possible, be repaired; And last of all, activity, dicussit n, and permanency in the weekly sittings of the Roy al Society, should be pro vided for. Unless a genuine reformation be set afoot, unless the cold and formal aristocracy of science admits some more generous elements than it at present possesses, we may look to see diseovi ry after discovery lost to this country, and the original workers amongst us soured and disappointed, instead of cheered and honoured. The Royal Society and its coteries have long acted the Florentine part towards the scientific genius of Eegland. This year they have, among other errors, lost a planet; what they may lose next . , ii they continue their career, it is impossible to foresee. If this loss does not rouse them, no arguments can do so. Dante dcsciibes, in the " Inferno," the interviews between the ghosts of the dead. What kind of meeting will that be between the offanded shades of Newton, and 11:Alley, and Herschel, and the administrators science of the present gene ration? • " Had the facilities of publication been equal to both, it is possible that the position of these eminent names (M. Le Verrier and Mr. Adams) might have been reversed. This we state with no other feeling than a conviction of the imperfect machinery of our Royal Society. We have announced that reform is being carried out, anti we know that good heads and stout hearts are at work. Facility, regulaiity, and frequeney of publication, will be a great ✓ boon."—Literary Gazette, Oct. 31. INTERNATIONAL COPYItIGIIT. The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury having had under their consideration an application, from an eminent firm, requesting that Prussian books may be admitted into this country at the reduced rates provided in the treaty of international copyright, recently con cluded between this country and Prussia, notwithstand ing that the said books may have been stamped at Leipsic, and not at a town in Prussia, the Commissioners of the Customs Department have received a communication from Mr. Parker, one of the Secretaries to the Treasury, stating that he has been commanded by their Lordships to transmit, for their information copy of a letter from the Board of Trade on the subject, and to desire that they would admit the Prussian books with the stamp of ' the Saxon authorities thereon, which have been already imported by the memorialists, at the low rate of duty. Mr. Parker also intimated to the Commissioners in this communication that he had received directions from their Lordships further to state to them, that their Lordships concur in the opinions expressed in the Board's report and in that of the Board of Trade, namely, that books, published in Prussia and stamped in Saxony, or any other State which may have acceded to the Convention. should be treated as Prussian, and vice versa; and that it was their Lordships' desire that the Board would give the necessary directions to their officers to admit the same at the duty prescribed by the convention to be u is p c o o n u n b t o ry ok . s i t pushed u Prussian a P n r s u t a s s m i a p , a a ffi n d x e i l n ev to ied th t 0 00lltohwe Lordsi ng isa o c f o rh y e o T f r t e h a e s l u e r t y te a r ll f u ro d m ed t to he :— Board of Trade " Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, Whitehall.

The books mentioned in the memorial under notice are clearly not Saxon books,' because they were not pub lished in Saxony, neither are they entitled under the Convention to be regarded as 'Prussian books,' because, although published at a town or place within the deo.nu nions of Prussia, they have not been dulyfs such stamp ed by the proper municipal or other authority C th o u n s ven tion.
