FRANCE. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Moniteur continues to be filed with lists of addresses for the Empire, and we gather from the country papers that the prefects, by proclamations to the people and other means, are stimulating them to one more general manifestation in favour of their Emperor Louis Napoleon 111. The preparation of the electoral lists has com menced. It appears that the prefects have received instructions to direct their attention to two principal points—to inscribe the names of all that have a right to vote, and to remove from the lists all names that ought not to be there, either in consequence of the death of the parties, change of residence, or other causes. From these improper entries on the lists, the number of abstentions appear greater than it really is, a state of things which it is most desirable to put an end to. Abd-el Fader left (on Tuesday) for Amboise. After breakfasting at his hotel in company with General Daumas, the Emir proceeded to the Orleans railway terminus, accompanied by the General, Com mandant Buisonnett, and the two Arabs who arrived with him in Paris. He was followed by a number of persons, who anxiously pressed forward to see and salute him, and at the station a crowd was very soon collected for the same purpose. General Daumas took leave of the Emir at the terminus.

GERMANY. The Count Thun Hohen stein is appointed Austrian Ambassador to the Court of Prussia. In the approaching interview between the Emperors of Austria and Russia at Warsaw, the deliberations will be chiefly on the Oriental question ; the suc cession to the Throne of Greece, and the independence of Montenegro, being the most prominent. The Anzieger Zeitung of the 6th inst., has the fol lowing :—" it is known that Russia has acknow ledged the independence of Montenegro, the small mountain fastness wedged in between Austria and Turkey. The Porte has protested against this, and the Prince of Montenegro has now addressed himself to Austria, claiming the recognition of his independence by that power. Russia, likewise, has made an appli cation to our Government for the independence of this State, which it is presumed will not be withheld. The Prince of Montenegro is expected i❑ the course of this week." A Vienna journal states that when the Austrian Government shall have called in the notes which are to be annulled this year, the Bank of Vienna will be in a better financial position than before the revolu tion of 1848. The journal adds :—" Thus the wounds of the last four years will have been cicatrised." The tready between Hanover and Brunswick has at length been concluded for the southern railways —i.e., respecting the southern railways on the Bruns wick territory, and respecting the junction of the Ilarburg line to the southern line. The king of Hanover has appointed the following officers to act as a deputation to attend the funeral of the Duke of Wellington :—General Halket, Lieut.- Colonel Von Marenholn, Colonel Porten, Queen's • Hussars, and Lieut.-Colonel Wiste. BELGIUM. The King returned from Laeken to Brussels at noon on Sunday, and his Majesty presided at a Cabi net Council. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and the Princess have left for England. They will first go to Windsor Castle, and then to London, with their august relative the ex-Queen, in order to be present at the funeral of the Duke of Wellington. Their Royal Highnesses will be absent about 15 days. They will, most probably, visit Claremont, and re-embark from the Isle of Wight on their return to Ostend. THE SCREW STEAMSHIP GREAT BRITAIN. The "following has been addressed to the Editor of The Times:— " SIR.—We have just received by the Dutch ship Bella Marina, advice that the Great Britain steamship had put in at St. Helena, all well, on the 23d of Septem ber.

SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCXL VI. With the exception of the Steeplechase, every stake yesterday attracted good fields to the post. The Scurry Ltandicap, which led off the business of the afternoon, realised its name by being a scurry, and nothing but a scurry, from end to end. They started, anyhow ; and Lathing was discovered to have any decided advantage uutil a moiety of the course had been run, when the two -year-old Mickey Free made a desperate drat to obtain the lead, in which, howeve':, he tailed ; the four- Years-old Jupiter—with sst 101 b on her back—came out, and took the lead, though closely pressed by Mire Hill, ilenrietta, Little Davie, and the Ithuriel filly, and was not headed, and won a very closo race by a neck; Hen rietta beating Mire Hill a like distance for second place. Little Davie and the Ithuriel filly were close up. The rest, with the exception of Wee Wee and Mickey Free, Were beaten off; and Dacony put his chance out by throwing young Primer at ettirting. The Optional Selling Stakes was won by that very useful animal, Needle, after tin exciting struggle for the last hundred yards with True Girl and Henrietta, by a head ; the last-named ani ma l l os i ng the second place by short neck. The remaining four were beaten into fits. The winner entered to be sold for 40 soya. fetched 135 guineas ; consequently realising for the fund 1151. 155. The Steeple Chase was a very uninteresting affair, as Carrig had it all his own way from end to end ; Victress being got rid of by a fall at the brook, and the General shortly afterwards, also by a fall. The only opponent that the winner had left in the race was Bourton, who was outplaccd from the start.

With the exception of the Steeple Chase and Hurdle Alice, the Stakes produced good fields e,nd plenty of sport, and the meeting may, on the whole, be considered 4 successful one. _ The authorities of Shrewsbury have Tdut forth a first rate bill of fare for their autumnal gathering on the 23d and 24th instant.

The Jullien Skills rose on Monday night in fall efful gence, to describe its last bright revolution (at le.ast ior a season or two) in the firmament of Drury. The vast assembly which crowded all parts of this noble theatre attested not only their love of the gentle science, but their special admiration of the inventor and introducer of the promenade concerts; and expressed, by a tremen dous reception, the honour in which they hold M. Jul lien. In the prospectus he has issued he intimates that the present " month" is the last that he will be enabled to undertake for some time to come. Brother Jonathan wants him; and " the proposals are too flattering" to permit him to resist a visit to the New World. He goes, therefore, we believe, in the course of the ensuing year, and no doubt the success ho is destined to meet with will be commensurate with his merit and originality. He thinks " he has reason to congratulate himself on having been the means of popularizing good music in this country;" and no one will deny him this reflection. To M. Jullien the public owes a considerable debt of grati tudo. for he has provided it with a world of innocent and ameliorating amusement. He has purveyed for the mil lion and not for the iew, and the million consequetnly have, through him, heard music which hitherto was be yond their ear—because beyond their pocket. .Ile has been a benefactor to art, inasmuch as he has given a good thing at a cheap rate, and for fourteen years aseem bled at intervals an orchestra, not only of vast propor tions, but of remarkable and indisputable talent, whose " readings " of many of the best and greatest works of genius can hardly be said to he interior to those of the Philharmonic and ether celebrated bodies. What he has given for a shilling has been more liberal than what. many another man has given for half-a-guinea, end with proportionate extension to the interest of the art of which he is such a curious and pleasant minister. The band of the promenade concerts," which has always included the best instrumentalists of the day, again maintains its honourable reputation. It would be difficult indeed to hear Weber's overture to" Euryanthe," Beethoven's funeral march from the " Sinfonia Eroica " (given as a tribute to the memory of the great Duke, although, strange to say, it was written in honour of his great adversary, Napoleon), Mendelssohn'a " Midsum mer Night's Dream" Scherzo, the selection from " Les Hugenots," or the by no means easy quadrilles and polkas of M. Jullien, more admirably rendered than they were last night; and when wo state that to such attrac tions were added the extraordinary vocal powers of Madlle. Anna Zerr, and the remarkable talents of the Bothers Mollinhauer (who play violin duets with great dexterity and oneness of feeling), and the inimitable solo clarinettist, M. Wattle, we think it must be admitted that a remarkably liberal entertainment was provided. The audience applauded lustily throughout, and encores were awarded to Jullien's quadrille from the " Entant Prodigue," his popular waltz called " La Prima Donna," and well-known " Irish Quadrille," also to a new polka called "Juno," composed by Koenig, and the duet of the Brothers Mollinhauer. Ia the second part of the pro gramme, we had a new polka by Jullien, which will doubtless become as popular as other dance tunes by the same author. The title is, " Lea Echos de Mont Blanc," and it is dedicated by Jullien to his friend Albert Smith. The old favourites were recognized with enthusiasm at; they came forward with their various solos, and received the tumultuous approbation of the audience. Kcenig seems in as fine wind as ever, and played with all his wonted grace, power, and spirit. Prospers, Baumann, Ma', cock, Barret, and Herr Vogel, elicited, each on his favourite instrument, the sincerest applause, and ep peered to have in no way abated their usual powers. The salle, again ornamented with the celebrated " crystal curtain," looked very brilliant, and the reading room was as richly stocked with newspapers as ever. Every part of the house was crowded. The performance of the National Anthem, between the acts, produced the usual scene of riotous loyalty. Fights, too, were nor wanting to attest the exalted state of the public cheer fulness. The " rows" were incessant, the turmoil was overpowering ; but the police was both strong and resolute, and one or two bold captures from among the sturdiest and most unseemly of the delinquents produced a salutary effect. At the end of the concert the Na tional Anthem was again demanded, and again per formed. On this point, at least, the audience were thoroughly unanimous. (From the Times.) M. Jullien, who for upwards of 12 years has been the chief public entertainer in a special department, and has done more for the popularization of music among the masses in this country than any one else on record, is about to leave England, and try his fortunes in America. The present series of concerts (the 14th), at Drury-lane Theatre, will probably be the last our Lon• don audiences may for some time have the advantage of attending. In the early spring M. Jullien, with the principal soloists of his band, makes his accustomed tour in the provinces, and in the summer starts for the United States. His absence will leave a chasm in our winter amusements which, it is not too much to say, lac other can fill up, and his return to this side of the Atlantic will be anxiously desired. M. Jullien has wor a larger share of public sympathy than is granted to most speculators; and the favour and celebrity he has acquired, it is only fair to add, are owing to a combi nation of qualities which few in his walk of lite have been knownfto possess. While his spirited endeavour to gratify the public have beQn followed by almost unexampled success, he has done his utmost to educate his hearers in the act of administering to their amuse ment. No other entrepreneur has had the power n bringing together such vast crowds during so long succession of years; and it is greatly to M credit that, with the certainty of a large pecuniar3 profit, to be derived solely from his dance music ace other ad captandum attractions, a sincere love of the at he professes has induced him to enter upon a path whirl demanded not less courage than discretion to follow out successfully. By degrees he persuaded his audience , to listen to, and ultimately taught them to apprecia , and like, the works of the greatest composers for thL orehestra; and it has been proved beyond controversy, of many occasions, that however inconveniently packed may bo the house, and however disposed to be boisterous an, unruly, the names of Mozart, Beethoven, Webber, an( Mendelssohn, are always certain to command attention FOREIGN THEATRICALS. GYMNASE.—Mme. Rose Cheri, the great favourite at this theatre, has appeared altogether in a new light, in a smartly written vaudeville, produced here this week, under the title of Therese, ou Ange et Demon. Hitherto Mme. Chore had exclusively devoted himself to the im personation of sentimental heroines, but in this affair she alternately appears as an ange and a demon. In the first part she bears the name of Therese, and is a model of innocence, gentleness, and all the virtues which the writers for the Gymnaso always so liberally bestow or , their favourites, and these good qualities, added to her beauty, make such an impression upon the heart of a wealthy young nobleman, De Chennevieres, that he forthwith resolves upon marrying her. The nuptials arc all but celebrated, when Chennevieres is startled out oi his propriety by the entrance of a certain M. Jules, who claims his Therese as his mistress. This strange de mand leads to some effective incidents, and of course breaks off the match. Therese, however, is not guilty. She is the victim of an unfortunate resemblance with a certain baroness of extremely equivocal reputation. This Menechirman likeness gives rise to a series of scones which display Mme. Rose Cheri'a powers of ver satility to their best advantage, and the purity of 'ri 6 rese'a character being ultimately recognised, the curtain descends on the usual matrimonial perspective. Un divided applause followed the proclamation of Messrs. Bayard and Beauplan as the authors, and a certai❑ boldness and originality in the plot, with considerable spirit in the dialogue, promises their piece a popular career. (lAlTE.—Another of those molodramas which are so greedily devoured by the public of the Boulevard du r Temple is La Bergere des Alpes, the last production here. The incidents are, as usual, varied and interesting, but displaying an ample share of that noble disregard of common sense and probability which frequently dis tinguishes such compositions. The scenery is good, end the piece was received with a favour not wholly unde served, from the effective character of some of the latter scenes and the general merits of the acting. The opening of the Italian Opera is announced for Tuesday the 16th. The following is the composition of the troupe :—Mmes. Cruvelli, Vera, Beltramelli, Borghi- Memo, and Nantier•Didiee; Messrs. Bettini, Negrini, Lucchesi, Calzolari, Ghidotti, Valli, Beletti, Marini, Arnaud, Lusini, Arnoldi, and Montemerli. This list, it will be observed, contains the names of three great fa vourites last season—Mlle. Cruvelli, and Messrs. Cain lari and Beletti. Mlle. Vera will also be recollected as forming one of the company here under M. Ronconi'v management; Mlle Beltramelli is a contralto 'a hose voice has been highly extolled in the Italian papers. The first opera will, we learn, be Otello, with Mlle. Cruvelli as Desdenaona, M. Bettini as the Moor, and M. Beletti as Ingo. The theatr - es give some sign of returning activity. At t a h c e o F m r e a d n y g , ai s s u nr iva le n 7 threet a ha t n raged b novelties are promised— de e M. Leganue, Midee, in which Mlle. Rachel is to ta Y ke y th principal part; and Lady Tartuffe. Gymn ln as fi e a five. act comedy, by M ine .

Alexandre Dumas, La Dante a x Perles, which is to throw the Dame aux Ca el m las altogether into the shade. Mr. William Binfield, a young English pianist of dis tinction, and member of a musical family whose concerts are highly popular in London, is at present in Paris, with a view to arrangements for a series of performances I daring the approaching season. Verdi's Ernani is the last opera produced at Madrid; on the first night the emotion of the principal artistes, Mme. Cspuani, and Messrs. Cuzzani, Vitali, and Selva, obtained for it rather a cold reception. On subsequent pee'ormanccs, however, it went off as well as could be desired. Mme. Novello has appeared in Lucia and with even greater success than i n Semiramide. In the other parts MM. Cezzani snd Coletti are also warmly culo gisid. Letters from St. Petersburg state that the season there commenced with Ernani, supported by Messrs, Moray, Tamberlik, do Bassini, and Poloeini. M. Matey was applauded os an established favourite; Dc Bassini, who made his debut on that occasion, seems to have Lchieved a stleCE-sii; the tenor, M. Tamberlik, is spoken of as "excellent as usual." The next opera was to be Le Prophi:te. Letters from Tiflis, in Russian Georgia, announce that Prince Woronzoff, governor of the Transcaucasian provinces, has constructed a theatre in that city, to be Exclusively devoted to the performance of dramas written in Armenian. lt has been inaugurated by a three-act comedy, .11.7cahadi Schah ; it was perfectly successful.

The Church of Rome was the mother of harlots and abominations. She was a mother that would nourish them wilt blood, and no' wish the pare milk of a mother. (Hear, hear.) He siatte.d the bishops of the Church had come forward in a body, is the face of the laity and of the country, to !.ntaintain the truth and purity of the Church of England, ind to declare that, so far from countenancing, the Church of England recoiled with horror from the ant i eular confession of the Church of Rome. (Hear, hear.) He viewed with approbation the recent proclamation in Ireland, and he hoped the policy which dictated it would be followed out in England. Let them only remain true to the Church of England ; let them stand with the laity of England. They had traitors within their own camp ; whilst they were menaced by an usurper who is about to assume the imperial title of France, they were also menaced by a combination of Popish Europe, goaded on by Jesuitical intrigue ; but let her Majesty's ministers take courage, and take their stand on Gospel truth and liberty ; let them do justice to all men, but never let them give political power to these men, who were determined to use it fur the destruction of their ffeedom, their bibles, and their lives. (Cheers.) Let her Majeety's Ministers adopt this course, and they will have the prayers of ,he devout, the sytc, Lades of the levout, and the heart of Old England with them. (Cheers.) Let the helm of the State be put about, the country would then steer by the chart of that Protestant :aith which their martyred forefathers had baqueathed to them ; and though France and Austria, the Pope and Anti-Christ, were opposed to them, ho had no fear for the re-ttit. The Reverend Gentldinan sat down amidst loud cheers. THE FRIENDS OF ITALY. Yesterday, a very numerous meeting of the members (.0' the Church of Eogland vv:is held at the Freeirmwrif,' Tavern, Great Qu-en-street, for the purpose of arloptiav resolutions on t;in attempted introduction of auricular confession, and on the threatened revival of convocation. The chair was taken et 12 o'clock by the Earl o! Shaftesbury. Amongst those present on the occasion we noticed the Earl of Cavan, Lord Thomas Cecil, the Hon. and Rev. H. M. Villiers, Lord H. Cholmondeley, M.P., Sir H. Verney, the Rev. Lord Wriothesly Rus sel, Mr. Colquhoun, Rev. H. Stowell, Rev. E. Auriol, Rev. J. Mark, Captain Trotter, General Sir Peregrine Maitland, Hon. Captain F. Maude, Admiral Vernon Harcourt, Sir George Pollock, Dr. Cowan, Rev. C. Kemble, Hon. A. Kinnaird, M.P., Rev. H. Venn, Mr. Thornton, R. E. L. Bevan, Mr. M'Queen, Rev. G. A Rogers, Itev. J. Miller, Yen. Archdeacon Hill, Bur T. Tate, &c. The meeting was opened with a prayer by the Rev Dr. Mattes. The Friends of Italy held their first cunversazione far this season last night, at the Must hell, Store-street, Bedford-square. Amongst the celebrities present were Louis Kossuth, Joseph Mazzini, Mr. Lowe, M.P., Pro- Yessor Newman, Mr. William Coringham, Professor Tesler, &e. Alcor the meeting had been addressed by Joseph Mazzini and Professor Newman, there was a unanimous demand for M. Kossuth, who at once came forward. When the applause had somewhat subsided, he said—Believe me, ladies and gentlemen, I am deeply, very deeply sensible of your kindness, and the value of that interest which you have manifested for the cause of Italy and Hungary. I thank you for this manifestation, the more because, in connecting it with the resolutions adopted during the evening, I feel entitled to take it. not only as an acknowledgment, but as an approval of the brotherly and fraternal alliance which now con nects Italy with Hungary. (Hear, hear.) My best answer to you, is, as I take the hand [here he grasped the hand of Muzzini, who rose and stood by his side] of my friend, my brother, and as I here stand before God and you, heed in hand with him, so, depend upon it, he world will see the people of Italy and the people of Hungary, not only standing up, but marching side by tide, until:those fair parts of the world are matured to !he natural and imprescriptible rights of every nation, and until they once more enjoy their inalierimble right to administer their own concerns, and to set up or pull down, to alter or change, their mode and form of gevern meet. (Loud tied continued applause.) Obedient to to your cell, I have risen ; but not for the purpose of making a speech. There is a time when it is necessary to be silent. Such a time is the present. (Hear, ht ar.) You in England are happy—you can hope to obtain all that you daily require by the word. (Hear.) With us it is different—words avail us not—we can carry nothing by them. We have therefore resolved to be silent. I have but one single speech in store, sad it shall be spoken in duo time. It is—Up boys ; follow me. (Loud cheers.)—The meeting then broke up. The CHAMMAN, who on rising to open the proceed ings was received with loud tied g nt rug cheering said:— Ladies and gentlemen, and brother Protestants of the Church of England,—We are assembled here again in a great crisis of the Church, not so much to deliberate or some positive course of action as to take counsel, and to give to .each other mtrual ;instruction and encourage ment, and to pass resolutions which shall show our ‘1( - termination to persevere rintil we shall have applied, by God's blessing, to these great mischiefs some decisive and some final remedy. (Cheers.) Now many, I understand, have taken objection to our curse, thinking that e meeting such as this was not necessary at tho pre sent moment. He, indeed, should have been very glad to have been spared the necessity of holdine such a meeting, but it was inevitable. The recent pro esedinies which had been developed in many parts of the United Kingdom—l now more particularly allude to Brighton and Plymouth—the recent disclosures that have been made, have revealed to us a great and growing cor ruption, and they have also revealed to us our many infirmities to resist the progress of that great and grow ing corruption. (Applause.) An effort was made to see whether these matters could not bo brought before the ecclesiastical courts for the object of obtaining either the prohibition or censure of these tribunals in regard of such proceedings; but the best opinions on matters of this kind declared, setting aside the merits of the case, that legally and technically it could not be handled in the ecclesiastical courts. An attempt was then made to bring the matter before the criminal courts of the realm; but again, those best versed in such mutters gave it N:5 their decided opinion that the case was not in a form to be produced before the criminal courts. A third attempt was then made by an appeal to the Primate of England, the Archbishop of Canterbury, to see how he could bring his power to bear to put a prohibition on the pro gress of these practices; but that great and worthy Prelate—(Cheers)—gave it as his opinion that he was wholly powerless in the matter. Thus, then, we were left to make our appeal to public opinion—(Cheers)— and therefore it is to public opinion we come—(Hear) — under God's blessing, to make that appeal, and to an nounce our determination and perseverance, that we will never desist until, by the Almighty's blessing, we shall be heard and felt through the length and breadth of the land. (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, we have been somewhat criticised for bringing into juxtaposition convocation and the confessional. It appears to me that they are so much akin and so nearly inseparable that I would just as soon think of separating in the Guildhall Cog from Magog. (" Hear, hear," and langhier.) The convocation lam speaking of is the convocation as extinguished in the year 1717—the convocation animated by the worst sen• timents and views of priestly despotism—(Cheers)—we naturally, and, to use a modern phrase, nominally resort to the confessional as the best and most effectual engine of priestly domination. (Applause.) But we are not here, my friends, to denounce every form of church synod and ecclesiastical assembly. (Hear, hear.) We are not here to deny the expediency of it, or the right of the Church to have some form of, for the purposes of self-regulation ; but we are hero to denounce the revival of that convocation that was partly extinguished in the last century ; but we are hero to deny to that convects d o y e detta t aauctl i ahinsr: o hedree: uo:enpil , omreas:wl i craa.ni f rlihtelnnys C rtea a h(easaaopn l Haoanh l nrfa e tstfdoeer d oosuati nthnwiohhl t rhaada o l t:aeyr parliament—(Cheers)— el ecl e eee: ebi:rr t nihae l attrsupe e i trr r :owdamec , sn(hsneas t veasm h iyfTodlsh e sai coeeowhtteadl p ahhcea(m, fe o )arnciloorros w i twtrepta:hmr e ewhtli e r yei ,aenr that have heoohuwenhftaft foundation, tnuol reform —(Hear, r omwfnohe i nttangirushooasshsareti only olsher:we o :urnlr f eegadb:aiap s mootwtr u ti gvityolo g naeartnhol g rewo. tdenad e wroaa s mti hyrgt Batt beti n n nnch—inuui g i tti h t in which I hope you Will all concur—that should there be any attempt to revise it, her most gracious Majesty will follow the example of her great predecessor—and, to use the lan guage of that great historian, Mr. Hallam, that she will "sprinkle a little dust upon the angry insects." (Laughter.) But the principal ground on which our do termination this day should be based, was the attempted revival of the confessional—(flear, hear)—in many parts of the realm ; and this has acquired a greater import ance, because it is expected that one of our bishops has declared ex cathedra, and officially, that the practice of the confessional is not inconsistent with the doctrines of the Church of England. (Hisses.) Now, I was curious upon wet point, and last night, having half an hour's leisure, I just turned over the writings of some of our older bishops, to see what was the opinion of these dig nitaries upon the subject of the confessional. Because, 'after all, one bishop may be as good as another, how aver great the claims and assumptions of that other may be. (Laugher.) I turned to the works of Archbishop Grindle, and in his injunction to the York laity, ho says—" No persons shall use the beads, or pray on beads or knots, or any other superstitious thing, nor shall he resort to auricular confession to any Popish priest, at Lent or any other time." Again, Bishop Hooper says, in one of his sermons—" Before the receiving of the sa crament, the receiver of it shall prepare and make ready his mind towards God ; he shall from the bottom of his heart, confess his fault and his sins. I make no mention here," says he, " of auricular confession, as though that was a thing necessary to be done before or after receiv ing the sacrament." And he assigned his reasons, and all of you know what a man Bishop Hooper was, " for," says he, " confession is not of God." (Cheers.) Bishop Pilkington quotes with approval writers who say, that shriving to a priest was not commanded by God, out invented by man. He goes on to say—" There has been nothing more profitable to the Pope than ear-shriv ing has, besides much filthiness done by it, for no time was fitter to woo or work their feats in without sus picion than shriving time." He afterwards proceeds as follows—" If confession might be taken away, as it here appears it was, as not so necessary to salvation, we dis obey not the Church in leaving it off, seeing so many holy men have done without it." (Hear, hear.) We are her here then e ( n u tooa (Hear, protest hear.) We protest s i t e vival against of consistent with the spiritual rights of the laity of all the it t he as con fessional.in. Protestant Churches, and especially of the members of the Church of England. (Cheers.)

I might quote to you many other bishops; but not to detain you further, I may say I believe there is but one bishop who h as s O been yet found in the Church of England to mainta be in monstrous a proposition? (Loud applause.) To sure, he may be a bishop the like of whom was never before seen, and upon whose like we shall never look again—(Laughter)—but, nevertheless, he i s but a unit, and this unit will never outweigh the pro di g ious testi mony which I have quoted to you from the works of the early English authors.

(Loud and prolonged cheese r w r with th tb e e co t ti s c r u s r u r b e y nce of of t t h h e e C pe h o u p r l o e h of of England, o t a li_ badt The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. COLQUHOUN moved the next resolution, as fol. 4)vss :—" That it seems especially needful, at the present moment, to withstand the sedulous endeavours now put , orth in various parts of the country to bring back into the Church the practice of auricular confession and the Romish doctrine of priestly absolution. In opposition to which, this meeting solemnly adheres to the declarations of God's Word, and of the Church of England, that God hath promised forgiveness of sins to all them that, with hearty repentance and true faith, turn to Him.' To this Divine forgiveness, which is instant and complete, no man can add; and from it no man can take away. While, on the other hand, without this hearty repentance and true faith there is no forgiveness; and in such cases 'he absolution of the priest is calculated only to delude and harden. Objecting, then, first to this fundamental error of the supposed efficacy attending the absolution of a priest, this meeting further protests against the practice which results from it, of periodical auricular confession, as a means by which that absolution is to be attained ; a practice most wisely expelled from the Church of England at the Reformation , and the revival of which involves, on the one hand, a departure from sound doctrine as to the forgiveness of sins, while it leads, on the other, to prurient discussions and develop ments of vice, which are utterly opposed to the cultiva tion of purity and business." seei e n a t r h d e Church throughout the said he thanked God, for The Bev, Mr. MAGEE, wh o g, as the resolution, of she did that day, the for ward in defence of the instit ut i on England would be saved. England coming d country as they (Hear, hear.) It and the co-opera did on that day. the Church of c tu le e rg la y it a y n e d am la e ity fo o rw f (Hear.) The Church was in dan Dsav , e tion of the laity was necessary to it. In the Church of England there were two parties_ o which con scientiously believe that the Reformati on lle evil—the other which conscientiously believe was a great that it was a great blessing. One won'? carry the people the era before the Reformation, the other back to main tain the Reformation. The one party desired o to intro duce auricular confession in its grossest form amongst them, but if the people held firm they Could never in troduce confession in this country. (Cheers.) The resolution was supported by Mr. J. C, WOOD, and afterwards carried unanimously. Mr. BAXTER. proposed the third resolution, as follows' • —" That, in connexion with these attem pts to corrupt and debase the doctrines and practices of the Church of England, this meeting must protest against the remedy which is proposed by the very parties who are most active in those endeavours. It is demanded by them, that all such questions shall be refer red to the deci s i on of a body, long practically defunct , but still known by the name of Convocation. Of that body it is sufficient to say, that no layman has any seat in it, nor any voice in the election of those of whom it is composed. By such a body as this, therefore, this meeting demands, ' that the laws of the Church of England be n ot changed.' Nor can it for a moment admit, that a body so constituted as to be unfit to make a single law, may yet be fit to frame a constitution. Whatever, therefore, may be thought of the claim in general, that the Church should have liberty to meet in some kind of Synod or assembly, it appears to this meeting beyond a doubt that that Convo cation which was arrested in its career of turbulence more than a century since, is a body wholly and entirely unfit to be trusted with the conduct of affairs in the present difficult circumstances of the Church of Eng land." Mr. Cuxurslas seconded the resolution. lie thought they ought to thank the Protestant Defence Committee for obtaining such an expression of opinion as they heard that day. The resolution was put, and carried unanimously. Admiral HARCOURT proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman. The Rev. D. WILSON seconded the resolution, end in doing so hoped that they would be encouraged by what had taken ph.ce that day' to go on in defence or thoae pule and holy principle., which were an tc, th. it Church and to the nation. The motion was put and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, said ho had not heard a stogie st- ntinaou t uttered at that meeting in which he did net concur. They had math, a great demonstra tive meeting in support of Protestant principles, and he hoped that when the occssion arose again they would ho ready to show, as they did that day, that there was a party in the Church who were prepared to sacrifice everything to what they believed to be the cause of Christ Jesus. (Cheers.) Let them recollect that these meetings produced but a temporary effect, and that it was for them, in their various circles, to keep the flame alive. The meeting then separated. log) bin H. VERNEY proposed the first resolution, which was as follows :—" That while this meeting desires thankfully to acknowledge her Majesty's gracious recep tion of the memorial from lay members of the Church of England agreed to in December, 1850, it feels the necessity of renewing the protest then recorded against which, in various quarters, are still being made to assi milate the doctrines and practices of the Church of England to those of thn apostate Churc h of Rome." The Earl of CAVAN, who said he had but just returned from Florence, where he formed ono of the deputation in favour of the Madiais, seconded the resolution. The deputation had not obtained permission to visit the Ma dials, but the Earl of Roden had visited them on Sunday last, and he was not without hope that they would finally succeed in obtaining the release of their poor imprisoned and suffering brethren. (Cheers.) But they must not be satisfied with that, but must continue to la bour further till they obtained religious liberty for all their brethren who were sufferieg in Tuscany. The Rev. Ikon STOWELL, who was received with loud cheer; supported the resolution. He said he rose prase av , J o e: sia nd in of under mingled feelings o f d e ep sorrow and lively thank nre;, e s they " : Y ' met a fulness—ot d ee p sorrow t h at suc h a mus t er ing as the sluivchelystrtehnagntkhf.uln(ece thankfulness that, when n t use Happy had it been it the Church had been allowed to proceed on her onward and enlarged course of quiet use fulness, supplyinv fresh folds • the • , tor shepherds and fresh shepherds to recal the stray sheep. (Cheers.) He be lieved that the greatest arm the Dissenters ever wielded against the Church Was this wretched semi-Popery which it nursed in its own bosom. (Hear, hear.) Ro thing had done more to shake the affections of the laity, or to lower the power and dignity of the bench of bishops. (Hear, hear.) Nothing had ever occurred to give more plausibility to the insinuations of the Dissent ers respecting the Rornis.h leaven which they said existed in.tho Church of England. They said it showed what they always asserted, that.tho &wish Church W4S their THE EARTHQUAKE ON TUESDAY. The earthquake shock, which we described yesterday, seems to have been felt over a wider extent of country than was known at the time we then wrote. The sensa tions and noise caused by the vibratory motion appear to have been nearly the same at the different points where they were perceived ; and so far as we are at present informed, importance has arisen from C om mencing from the s h ores of Dublin and Wicklow the phenomenon. no casualty of any and taking nearly a circular direction, the shock appears to have been sensibly felt as far as Gloucester, where, from our present informati on , it seems to have been ex. hausted. The disturba nces, upon a comparison of time, wore as nearly as possible simultaneous ; at least there is no appreciable difference in the times they are re ported to have been perceived in different places. The course taken was acros s the Irish channel—where, how ever, the passengers in the ordinary packets, running between Kingstown and Liverpool and Kingstown and Holyhead, did not perceive any indications of the phe nomenon—along th e Coast of North Wales, throug h t h e principal dist r i cts o f South Lancashire, and along the edges of Cheshir e and Shropshire into Gloucesters hi re . The weather, for s everal days previously had been wet and sultry, with a warm and unseasonable atmosphere. On Monday afternoon, about five o'clock, the thermo meter, particularly in the nei g hb our h o od of Liverpool, ranged between 50 and 60 degs., and, during the n i g h t, it rose, although much heavy rain had fallen. There must evidently hive been some electric fluid at the time, as about the period of the shock there was ob servable a very luminous appearance in the atmosphere. a The last shock of somewhat similar description, which was experienced with various degrees of intensity in Lancashire, thr oughout the greater part o f t h e county, and ;the adjacent districts of Westmoreland, Cumber land, Cheshire, Flintshire, and the Isle of Man, took place a few minutes before one o'clock on the morn ing of Friday, M rtrch 17, 1843. On that occasion, as der and severity of the visitation, but on the present, son.ewhat varying statements were made as to the s tio n there was a ' mate v i al difference i n t h e s t a t e of the weather and cf the atmos phere. On that occasion the barometer wes very low, not more than 29.75, having been gradually falling for two days previously, and the day was The, the wind being north-west. The ther mometer airing the night was then 39, showing a material diTereece from the state of the atmosphere to Monday kat. After the last shock in 1843, accounts were received from the West Indies announcing that a severe earthquake had taken place there about the same time, and .hat a great number of lives had been sacri ficed. Many are inclined to think that there has aga i n been another fearful earthquake in one of those countries most liabl e to such convulsions of nature, whilst others feel disposed to attribute the present phenomenon to the great series of eruptions lately going on in Etna, and considep t h at place as the l oca l seat of the convulsion. Meanwhile we may call attention to a paragraph in another ning of th i s mont h an eart h qua ke had taken pl ace t h ere, part of our paper, stating that about the begin and another was expected. As to the intimate relation between earthquakes and volcanoes, physical philo sophers are pretty generally agreed. The reports hitherto received from the various seats of the phenomenon concur in stating that no material damage has been done. As may be expected, consider able alarm wes felt along the whole course of the shock. It Is premature to as certain the exact boundary li nes o f tilt extensive district affected by the convulsion; but it is certain that the area was considerable, and wo have reason to be thankful that the shock was, comparatively, so slight. Three sharp shocks of earthquake, preceded I by a loud rumbling noise, were experienced eight days ego at Malaga. All the houses and public buildings • d Were shaken, but it is not stated t hat any were thrown down or in. The inhabitants assembled in th e public squares, and many of them went on board vessels in the port. The temperature was s u f focating, and the ' sky cloudy. SUSPECTED MURDER.--The body of a young man, named Stephen Hook, was, on Monday, the :2C3th ult., taken out of the river Thames, near Sutton Courtney, Barks, after having been in the water for the space of three weeks. The deceased had been missing since Abingdon Michaelmas fair night, when he was last seen in company with some women of questionable character, and in a condition rather the worse for the merry-making of the day. An inquest was sum moned to inquire into his death. The medical testimony went to show that the effusion of blood on the brain of the deceased had resulted from violence, and the jury, after a most patient investigation, returned a verdict of '6 Wilful murder against some person or persons to the jury un known." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —James Chatterly, William Chick, and James Margetts were brought up for final examination yesterday, charged with having committed several felonies. The prisoners, in the iirst instance, were apprehended for attacking in Oxford-street, on the morning of the sth inst., Mr. Robert Street, landlord of the Pineapple public-house, Portman market, with intent to rob him. Mr. Street stated that ho was going towards home, with about fifty or sixty sovereigns in his pocket, when the three prisoners ran against him, surrounded him, commenced striking at him, and knocked him down by a blow on the eye. It was Margetts who struck the blow. About fourteen of the sovereigns were scattered on the pavement, but the prompt appearance of the police pre vented any advantage being taken of that circumstance. Complainant did not think he had lost any money, but he felt satisfied that had the constable not come up at the time, ho should have been robbed. The prisoners strongly protested their innocence, and asserted the respectability of their characters. Margetts said he was a cab proprietor, Chatterley that he was the brother of a highly respectable tradesman, and Chick that he was an omnibus conductor. Their explanation was that Mr. Street pushed against them, commenced fighting with Margetts, and that the whole affair was a street scuffle without any felonious purpose. Mr. Street was reluctant to swear positively that any attempt was made to rob him. He felt a hand at the pocket in which he had his money, but it was just pos sible that the force of the blow which knocked him down had the effect of jerking out some of the gold. The constable, Chambers, who was called to the fray, said the complainant was quite sober, and though the prisoners had been drinking they perfectly well knew what they were about. In the possession of Chatterly two watches were found. _ _ The Magistrate appeared inclined to take a lenient view of the charge, and remanded the prisoners for the purpose of giving the police time to inquire into their characters. Chatterly was admitted to bail. The three prisoners were now placed at the bar, and the following additional evidence produced. Henry Taylor, apprentice to William Sewell, butcher, High-street, Portland -town, said he knew Margetts by sight from his coming to buy meat at the shop. He was at the Marylebone Theatre on the evening of the 4th November, and saw the prisoner Margetts there. After the performance was over he went into a public-house in Church-street, again saw Margetts, and had some beer with him. He went into the Pine-apple public house (the landlord of which is the complainant in the first case), and there saw all three prisoners before the bar. He afterwards went into the King Alfred public house, Lissun-grove, and there again saw the three pri soners. A disturbance took place in the house, witness was pushed on one side, and he felt his watch and chain go from his pocket. He could not tell who took them. One of the watches found on Chatterly was the lost lost , watch and worth 31. Police-constable Randall, S 353, took Chatterly into custody on this second charge. The three prisoners were fully committed on two charges of felony. WORSHIP-STREET.—John Ludd, a journeyman cabinetmaker, was placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyn court, charged with cutting and wounding a young woman named Mary Anne lXlitton, with intent to mur der her. Mr. John Cousins, the landlord of the Coach •nd Horses, Holy well-lane, Shoreditch, :stated that shortly before five o'clock on the preceding afternoon, the woman Mitten entered his house in the company of another woman, and ordered some refreshment, of which she was partaking in front of the bar, when he heard a man in the street call to her by the name of " Mary," and sho immediately went out to him. Atter a short interval be heard a loud uproar in the street. and directly afterwards the injured woman was brought back to his house by two men, who supported her in their arms; and observ ing that she was bleeding profusely from a frightful wound in the throat, he gave directions for her imme diate removal to the hospital. James Cousins, the nephew of the last witness, stated that while standing in front of his uncle's house at the time in question, his attention was attracted by the screams of a woman who was struggling with the pri soner on the opposite side of the street, and endeavour ing to disengage herself from his greap. He instantly ran to her assistance, and after forcing the prisoner from her, he caught her in his arms as she was in the act of falling to the ground, and carried her into the public house, where ho discovered that her throat was cut, and that the sleeve of his coat was saturated with blood. On hastening out in search of the prisoner, he found that he had effected his escape; but the table knife now produced, the point of which was bent and stained with blood, was handed to him by a man who had picked it up close to the spot where the struggle had taken place. Police-constable N 236 stated that he succeeded in apprehending the prisoner at his mother's house in Hea ton on the preceding night, and on acquainting him with the nature of the charge, he made no observation *hat ever, and had not uttered a word during the time he had been in custody. The constable handed to the magistrate a certificate from the house-surgeon of the hospital, describing the serious nature of the injuries the woman had sustained, and added that, from his inquiries that morning, he had ascertained that she was in a state of imminent danger. It was intimated to the magistrate by Alderman, the gaoler, ; that the wounded woman was the wife of a soldier who had been engaged for the last two years on foreign service in Canada, with his regiment, during the latter part of which period she had formed a connection with the prisoner, with whom she had been living for some months past. It appeared, however, that she still kept up a correspondence with her husband, and baying re cently received a letter from him, apprising her that his regiment had been ordered home and that she might shortly expect to see him, her feelings were so power fully wrought upon by the intelligence, that she made a determined attempt at self-destruction, for which she was brought to this court about ten days since, and committed to prison ; but, after a week's incarceration, she was delivered over to the care of her mother. The prisoner, who had listened to the evidence with an air of sullen apathy, and maintained an obstinate silence throughout the investigation, was ordered to be remanded for a week to afford time for ascertaing the result of the injuries the woman had sustained. LAMBETH.—Mr. Jonathan Mould, principal clerk in the traffic department of the South-Weitorn Railway at the station on Waterloo•road, was brought up for fur ther examination, on a charge of embezzling 309/. 45 2d, the amount of a cheque paid to him on account of her Majesty the Queen. Mr. Crombie, solicitor to the company, attended to prosecute, and Mr. M‘Millen, an attorney, appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Norton considered that there was quite enough before him to justify his sending the prisoner before a jury. There appeared to him (Mr. Norton) to have been a loose mode of doing business hitherto ; and much would depend in the present case whether the irregularity generally did not lead to the present offence and also as to whether the act had been done openly and was well known, or had been done covertly and pri vately. These matters ho thought worth the conside ration of the directors ; but at the same time, if called on by the gentlemen for the prosecution, he must at once committ the prisoner for trial. Mr. Crombio remarked that the directors would meet on the Friday following, when he should be happy to place before them the suggestions of his worship. The prisoner was then remanded to a future day, but on the application of his attorney, was admitted to heavy bail.

TO THE riucron or wrin Dom. Ssu,—The letter of "BEra," in The Sun of the 6th instant, is only to try to get that which he and the whole host of Protectionists have been always trying for, but for the future must go without,—namely, a tax or monopoly favourable to the few members of a particular class at the cost and injury of the other classes of society. Now, how does " Btra" make out his case for the " Rail Owners ?" " They employ 200,000 labourers." How many do the Farmers employ ? " They have brought out artistic and mechanical skill." Has no advance been made in threshing, dressing, chaff-cut ting, and other machines of others wishing mono poly—no improvement, no draining, &c. ? The capital of railways " Btra" calls 300,000,0001. What is the capital of the landlords in stock and house. holders, whose lives are not as a feather-weight against making railways pay a good per-tentage. Mr. " Btra," what do the canals now pay on the ca pital expended ?—and if not so much as formerly why? Law, Mr. " Btra," is a very costly matter, and solicitors to the railways have a good birth of it, and are, many of them, well paid. If you will, as two companies did last year, expend 30,0001. in a contest for a twenty-five or thirty mile line, through as poor a county as any in England, " then you have had your fun for your money." Why, is it not as well for the Great Western to have put a atop to line of no value for one year, as to pay one Per cent. more ? If not, then act as men of business, and don't go to law, or be satisfied with poverty.—Yours , A FARMER. THE HOP DUTY.

CREMORN E .—We perceive by notice in our adver -1 tising columns, that the spirited proprietor of Cremorne Hotel and Gardens, intends to cater for the bodily wants of visitors to the Great National Ceremonial at Chelsea Hospi tal ; and from the close neighbour hood o f this charming resort, and the well-known fame of AI!. Simpson, late host of the Albion, as a restaurant of the highest order, we have no doubt that many will avail tbe . mslves of the opportunity of paying a visit to Cremorn e, which, e though shorn of some , of its summer beauties, stillpresents many attractive &arms, and will enable those previously unacquainted with its locality to judge of its great beauties and capabilities in the summer season. THE ALLEGED POISONING AT NORTH OCIERNDOL —This case of supposed murder, which has created so mu& sensation throughout Essex, has been brought to a close. On Monday Professor Taylor, the lecturer of Guy's Hospital, communicated the result of the analyzation to the Coroner, from which it appeared that the deceased had not died from tilt effects of poison.
