Some of the pieces are arranged for four treble voices, and will be given by a thousand voices to a part. Every exer tion is being made to make the day ono of unusual attrac tion. This will bo the only shilling Saturday in the year, and in order to meet the advantages of the early closing movement, the concert will commence at four o'clock, instead of three o'clock, as heretofore. TILE VINTAGE OF FllANCE.—Accounts from the centre of France respecting tho vintage state that the few days of sunshine and warmth have produced an excellent effect on the grapes. The gathering will commence this week in the most favoured districts. In the Upper Beaujo lais, where the finer sorts of wino aro grown, the vintage will not, however, begin before the 20th or 25th, as the fruit is there allowed to got as rips as possible before it is plucked. Thu summer having been so wet the growers are in hopes of a flue autumn. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1863. THE MURDER IN ST. GILES'S. Examination of Jeffreys—This Day. BOW-STREET. The report of the apprehension of Jeffreys, the supposed murderer of the little boy in St. Giles's, which appeared exclusively in a late edition of The Sun on Mon day evening, caused a very great concourse of spectators this morning before the station of the F Division of police in Bow-street in the expectation of catching a momentary glance of the man who had been apprehended, on his own confession, of being the murderer of his son, a child aged eight years, in a cellar in Neal's-passage, Seven Dials. The prisoner is a person of short, slim stature, with a, very sallow countenance, black hair, and beard. Ho wore an old black frock-coat, a dirty yel! ow cotton waistcoat, and tweed trousers ; he was devoid of necktie, and the soiled description of his garments gave him the appearance of a man of the most reckless description. On being taken into custody he described himself as John Richard Jeffreys, Rippingale, in the West Morlay division of the West Riding of Yorkshire, and of 111, Half-paved-yard, Salisbury-square, Fleet-street, and of 15, Great White Lion-street, Seven Dials, tailor, the charge against him being wiliully murdering his son, Arthur Richard Jeffreys, on the 30th of July last, by hanging him in a cellar, at No. 1, Neale's-passage, Great Earl-street, in the parish of St. Giles. Mr. Vaughan was the sitting magistrate at Bow-street, before whom the following evidence was given : Mr. Humpheries (the second clerk), addressing the pri soner—ls your name John Richard Jeffreys ? Prisoner—Yes. Spell the name " ys," not " ies." Sergeant Kay, 13 F, said—On Monday morning, the 30th of July, at a quarter past seven, I went to a cellar in N eal's Passage, 15, Great Earl-street, Seven-dials, and found there the body of a boy hanging to a post, apparently about eight years old. I measured him, and his length was 3 feet 7 inches. Mr. Vaughan—Was he dead? Witness —Yes, your worship. Mr. Vaughan—Was there warmth in the body ? Witness—lt was slightly warm. He was hanging with his head about 5 feet from the ground, and his feet about 15 inches. The rope was round his neck, but very loosely. Not having a knife, I caught hold of the body, and told one of the men standing near to cut the rope. Mr. Vaughan—What was the name of the person ? Witness—He is not here that I know of ; the rope, how ever, was cut above the knot. Mr. Vaughan—Did you observe how many times tho cord was round the boy's neck ? Witness—Only once. Mr. Vaughan—Was it tight round the neck ? Witness—No, your worship, I could have got my two ringers between the cord and the boy's neck. The boy's hands were tied loosely behind him with the strip of pocket-handkerchief I now produce Mr. Vaughan—Were they securely fastened ? Witness—Yes, your worship. Mr. Vaughan—Was the boy dressed? Witness—Yes, your worship, he had all his clothes on, but they were very old. Mr. Vaughan--Had he his boots and cap on ? Witness.—He had his boots on, but his cap was on the ground. Mr. Vaughan.—You say the boy was hanging to the post. How was the rope attached ? Witness.—The post is a piece of timber running up one side of the cistern in the cellar. His face was towards the post. There was a cut in the post, and from that the rope was suspended. Mr. Vaughau.—Was there a chair in the cellar upon which any person could have stood. Witness.—There was nothing of the sort, except an old market basket, but that was in an out-of-the-way place, and it bore no marks of any person having stood upon it. Mr. Vaughan.—How is access obtained to the cellar ? Witness.—You go down somo steps and there is a cellar; but when there, there is another further on. The entrance to the cellar is in the street. There being no door to it, it is always open. Mr. Vaughan—ls there any light in the cellar ? Witness—There is, I have since 1 was first there dis covered a slight opening in the cellar whore the body was found, but the door of the water closet being thrown back when I entered, I did not observe it the first time I went 7fli } in. Mr. ,Vaughan—ls 15, Earl-street a common-lodging house ? Witness—No, your worship. It is in Neal's-passage and let out in tenements. Mr. Vaughan—Then I understand you to say the door of the house is open day and night. Witness—lt is never shut, your worship. Mr. Vaughan—So that any person, whether an inmate or not of the house, could go down into the cellar whore the body of the boy was found. Witness —Yes, your worship. Mr. Vaughan—Go on and describe what you did. Witness —I sent for Dr. Harvey, and on his arrival he pronounced the boy dead, and by his direction the body was taken to the dead-house of St. Giles's Workhouse, as the place in which it was found was so filthy. Mr. Vaughan to prisoner—Do you wish to ask the wit ness any questions ? Prisoner—No. I've nothing to ask; but I should like all the witnesses to be out of court. Mr. Vaughan—They are so already. Dr. Alfred Harvey, of No. 3, Southampton-street, Strand, said—On the 30th of July I arrived at the house at the corner of Neal's-passage, Great Earl-street, and found the body of the boy lying on the back in the cellar. I ordered its removal to the dead-house, and on undressing the body and examining it particularly, I found a mark round the neck, and an.indentation. Mr. Vaughan—All round the neck ? Witness—No, sir. The mark went round about two thirds of the neck. Mr. Vaughan—What part of the neck ? Witness—On the front, and running round to the back. Mr. Vaughan—What was the nature of that mark ? Witness—As if it had been produced by a cord. Mr. Vaughan—Was the skin discoloured ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Vaughan—Did it appear to you of such a size as that it might have been produced by the piece of cord now before you ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Vaughan—Looking at the appearance,of the body before the post mortem examination, could you state the Cause of death ? Witness—From the mark of the cord it appeared as if death had been produced by pressure on the windpipe, the other appearances were not such as might have been pro duced by hanging. Mr. Vaughan— Was there anything else you observed externally ? Witness—No sir. On making the post mortem I found the lungs congested, the eyes were natural, the pupils dilated. The stomach contain food, and otherwise the organs were healthy. Mr. Vaughan—To what cause, having made the post mortem, do you attribute the death of the child ? Witness—To suffocation. Mr. Vaughan—And would the pressure on the windpipe which you have before mentioned be sufficient to cause that ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Vaughan—What was the probable ago of the child Witnes—Between 7 and 8. Jane Edwards said—l am a widow, and reside at No. 5 Eagle .street, Holborn, and was living there on the 30th o; July. Mr. Vaughan—Do you know the prisoner at the bar ? Witness- Too well, your worship. Ho married my daughter. Mr. Vaughan—ls she alive ? Witness—l believe so, though I hare not seen her these two months. Ou the 29th of July, a Sunday night, the prisoner came to my lodgings about half-past 8. I had had for about five months previous to that time the pri soner's son residing with me. The child was in bed, but the prisoner desired me to dress the child. He said "Dress that child" three times. The child said " Don't, granny, dress me ; I don't want to go with him." The prisoner gave no reason for his directing me to dress the child. I said to him "Don't take the child away; leave him till to-morrow morning, and then come for him." I, howe'ver, dressed the child, and the prisoner took him away. He did not say where he was going to take him, but I followed him, and lost sight of him in a court in Holborn. I told a policeman of the circumstance. The next morning I re cognised the dead body of the child in St. Giles's dead house. I did not know where the prisoner was living when he called upon me. The names of the deceased child were Richard Arthur Jeffrey. The prisoner never paid me one farthing for keeping the child, and for the five months the child was with me he never gave me one farthing. I had applied to him for money when he was at GI avesond, but he sent me up a letter telling me he would pay mo nothing, and that I might do my best and worst. I sent for money at the expiration of the first week it had been with me, and then it was that I received the letter I have spoken of. The child bad told me that his father had treated him very shamefully, and that if he told anything to anybody ho would kill him. I don't, of my own knowledge, know how he treated the boy. I was very fond of the child, and I never should have asked him for any moue y for the keep of it. Prisoner—When •I came for the child did I ask for his black clothes? Witness—Oh, dear, no ! The child had on the same clothes he woro when you first left him. The child did not say in my presence that I had pawned his hat. Prisoner—Didn't you say that his aunt had pawned his jacket ? Witness—The boy might have said so. Prisoner—Did'ut we all go into a public-house, the child and all, that same Sunday night when I left? Witness—No, certainly not. Prisoner—Did'nt I come from Gravesend one night and give you three shillings and a pint of shrimps. Witness—No, not to my recollection. Prisoner—l shall prOve that I did, although you have sworn that I did not. Did'nt I say that I had been told that you had been given 14s. in one week, and that as you neglected the child I should take it away. Witness—l don't recollect your saying one word of such a thing. The Late Fearful Collision cff the Suffolk Coast. BOARD OF TRADE INQUIRY—Tnas DAY. This day an investigation was held at the Green wich police-court, before Mr. Traill, the magistrate, and Captains llarris and Baker, respecting the late fearful collision off the Suffolk coast, between the Bruiser steamer and the llasweli,, a screw collier. Mr. llargreave Ilamel appeared. to conduct the proceedings for the Board of Trade. Mr. Cohen and Mr. Pearse attended for the owners of the Bruiser, and Mr. Cooper for the Haswell. It will be remembered that early on the morning of ;hel9th ult. the Bruiser, which was onher way from [lull to London came in collision with the __aswell, which was bound to the north from the Thames, a few miles off Aldborough, on the Suffolk The Bruiser sunk in about 10 minutes, and several of the passengers and 300 of the crew pe rished. The remainder on board the Bruiser, 93 in all, got on board the Haswell, which brought them on to the Victoria Dock, where they were landed. Mr. Hamel having opened the case in a speech debating the main facts, Captain Chase, the master of the Haswell was examined at great length, but the inquiry will occupy several days. National Reform League. A very crowded meeting of the North London Branch of the Reform League was held last night at Myddleton Hall, Islington, to promote the organisation of that district. The chair was taken by Edmond Beales, Esq., who in an animated ad dress denounced the present system of representa tion as corrupt, and also the conduct pursued by the opponents of the Reform Bill of the late Govern ment. That that corruption existed to an appalling extent he need only refer to the disclosures lately made at Yarmouth, at Totnes, and at Reigate. But the country was now in earnest on the subject, as had been shown by the meetings which were being held throughout the United Kingdom. He expressed his belief that they would in the end achieve the object they had in view, namely, manhood suffrage, protected by the ballot. (Cheers.) Mr. WALLARGE moved the first resolution, which was to the effect " That in the opinion of this meet- ingthe recent Reform demonstrations in London and the provinces show that the nation earnestly desires an immediate and satisfactory settlement of the question ; also the Adullamite and Tory opposition to the Franchise Bill of the late Government proves ,he necessity for an organisation of Reformers ,hroughout the country powerful enough to deter ,hem from again impeding the progress of the people's enfranchisement." In reference to Ireland he deplored the manner in which the country had for ages governed that portion of the United King dom, but he rejoiced that the dinner now about to be given in Dublin to Mr. Bright would unite the patriots of Ireland with the Radicals of England. The announcement was received with loud cheers. Mr. G. H. MANTLE seconded the motion, and de nounced the present Parliament as the most corrupt and venal that existed. Mr. Lowe so described the working classes of this country, but he ought to re member he was himself no more than a political con vict—(a laugh)—and he would further remind the meeting that no measure of Reform or improvement was carried within the life of any man among them without encountering the opposition of Parliament and the Government of the day. He denounced the present system as giving the small and rotten bo roughs of England the privilege of electing one half the House of Commons, while such boroughs as Lambeth, the Tower Hamlets, and Finsbury, that contained a larger population, only returned six members. In reference to the deposition of their chairman from his position as revising barrister, he said the course pursued, especially by the Tory press, was mean and contemptible. (Cheers.) Mr. C. H. ELT supported the resolution. He was a veteran reformer of that locality, and had travelled nearly a hundred miles that day to be present on that occasion. He believed it was not exclusively a working man's question, but a national one. There was that part of the borough of Finsbury in which they were now assembled, which had 14,000 electors, and yet such places at rotnes, Yarmouth, and Rei gate returned as many members ; so that large con stituencies were absolutely swamped by these small and venal boroughs. (Cheers.) The resolution was put and carried unanimously. Mr. LUCRAFT (hon. secretary) proposed the next resolution, which was :—" That, to carry into effect the opinions expressed and agreed to in the first re solution, this meeting pledges itself to support the North London Branch of the National Reform League, who intend holding a public meeting every Monday evening in the Temperance Hall, Windsor street, Essex-road, Islington, for the enrolment of members and the discussion of Reform and other political questions, a proper understanding of which will assist the people, when enfranchised, in choos ing representatives best qualified to legislate for the interest of the entire nation." They had taken a Temperance-hall, at which a meeting would be held on every Monday evening during the winter, for the enrolment of members, and to discuss questions of Reform. He implored those present to attend, and in this way their organisation would be most perfect and the question they advocated greatly advanced. Mr. J. 11PGILe1IuisT seconded the resolution, and ' in reference to Scotland, said that only one Tory was returned in any of the boroughs of that coun try. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DYMOND, of Exeter, supported the motion, after which it was put and carried. The Chairman then vacated the chair, which was taken by Col. Dickson ; and a resolution, expressing sympathy for Mr. Beales in being deprived of his office of revising barrister, was carried with applause. Thanks were next given to the Chairman for his conduct in the chair, after which the proceedings terminated. The late Gale—Lifeboat Services• HAYLE, CORNWALL, Tuesday Nigh During a strong gale from the west yesterday afternoon (says W. H. Holmes, Esq.) the Nicholas Harvey, of this port, bound from Llanclly with coals, stranded on our bar. The vessel had been in collision with another craft in the bay, and had damaged her main-boom and broke her pumps and soon after she stranded she filled with water, and the crew were seen to take to the rigging. The lifeboat Isis, of the National Lifeboat Institution, was therefore at once manned and launched, and proceeded through the very heavy ground sea on the bar to the vessel. After some difficulty, a com munication was effected with the wreck, when the whole of the crew, eight in number, gladly got into the lifeboat and were safely brought to shore. This is the first service performed by this lifeboat, which was placed on this station in April last by the Na tional Lifeboat Institution, the cost of the boat having been defrayed by members of the University of Oxford. LYTHAM, Tuesday Night. A fearful gale has been raging here since last night (reports Mr. John Edmondson). During the height of the gale the lifeboat of the National Life boat Institution was taken out for her quarterly exercise, and as a message had been brought by the Blackpool and Lytham Railway Company that a large ship was very near the sand banks off this coast, the lifeboat was taken out a long way to be in readiness, if required, to rescue the crew of the ship; but, fortunately, the vessel eventually got clear away, and the services of the lifeboat were not re quired. TIIE SEASON IN SWITZERLAND. —The season has been most unsatisfactory in Switzerland both for tourists and hotel keepers. The war at first kept many persons at home, and, when that finished, the increasit of n ng stream of tourists was met w ith such a count rain That many returned or diverged in qu est of less plu vious latitudes. In most parts of Switzerland nearly the whole of July and the greater part of August were wet, cold, and altogether unseasonable. Mr. Clarence Holt, of Australian celebrity, has appeared this week at the Theatre-Royal Haymarket with great success in the character of Master Walter, in the " Hunchback." He has certainly proved himself a perfect master of his art, as well as a most accomplished actor. He is announced to appear at the Theatre- Royal Adelphi on Monday next for one night, only preparatory to his en ter upon a lengthened engagement at the Theatre lie 7 -- Prisoner—Recollect yourself ; you will have to prove all you say. Mr. Vaughan—You must not make such observations as that. You can ask what questions you like, but only quest ions. Sarah Foster said, on tho 30th of July last I was living at No. 15, Great White Lion-street, St. Giles's. - lam the sister of the prisoner. I recollect seeing him that even ing; he came to my place between 8 and 9, and brought his child withhim. It was the child mentioned by the last witness. He said he had come to stop for the night, and I told him he could stay if he liked. He remained till be tween 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning in my room, when he got up and went away with the child. lie and the boy had both been to bed, and had a good sleep. When ho left he said ho was going a long way in the country. I don't recollect hearing the child speak all the time it was in my loom. It appeared to be in good health, and that was all I saw of the prisoner that night. The next day I saw the body of a child in the dead-house of St. Giles's Workhouse, and recognised it as the son of the prisoner. Before the prisoner left I said to him, "I hope you won't do anything to the child to ill use it." Mr. Vaughan—Why did you say that to him ? Witness—Because I had heard him say before that the child should not be a trouble to any one long. Mr. Vaughan—Had he said that that night ? Witness—No, sir. Mr. Vaughan—Then it was before that ? Witness—Yes, sir; but I have heard him several times make the remark. Mr. Vanghan—What reply did ho make ? Witness—He told me to mind my own business. Prisoner—You say the child did not speak on the Sun day night; did'nt I make him kneel down and say his prayers ? Witness—l don't recollect. Prisoner—Didn't I leve my child at your door with a nice suit of black. Witness—Yes, about Whitsuntide I think that was. Prisoner'—Don't you know that I have paid money for the keep of the child. Witness—Yes. When I had him in the winter you paid me very regularly. Prisoner —Did you ever see me beat or Muse the child ? Witness—l have seen you beat him. Prisoner—Yes. When he had told me a story. Witness—l know you have beat the child. Prisoner—Do you recollect me taking the child away in this mysterious manner before ? Witness —Yes ; from your wife, not from me after you brought him at Whitsuntide. You had then been drink ing, and when you came on that Sunday you were the worse for liquor. Prisoner—l have never been guilty of ill-treating the child. When he has told an untruth I have only corrected him for so doing. Superintendent Durkin—Upon this evidence, your worship, I ask for a remand until this day week. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. - 0.- MARLBOROUGH-STREET. FORGED ORDERS.—COMMITTAL.—WiIIiam Henry Aston and Thomas Hiatt, the two young men charged with ob taining goods by means of forged orders, were again brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt. It appears that Aston, who was formerly in the employ of Messrs. Mackay, Burke, and Wheeler, military tailors, Bond-street, went to Messrs. Scott Adios' Scotch ware house, Regent-street, and obtained a quantity of cloth by means of an order purporting to be written by Messrs Mackay and Co., but which was proved to have been written by Hiatt, who was his companion and lodged in the same house with him. The prisoner Hiatt was charged with obtaining a quantity of paper hangings from Mr. Silas Tucker of High Holborn by means of an order pur porting to come from his father, but was in reality signed by himself. Since the last examination the prisoner Hiatt's father had gone round to the persons where his son had sold the paperhangings, and got a quantity of them back with a view of screening his son, and ho had gone so far in one case as to threaten to give a person into custody if he did not give the property up. Several persons proved purchasing paparhangings of the prisoner Hiatt, and subsequently, on his father calling giving them up to him. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for trial. A FEMALE SAVAGE. --Maria Fearly, of 5, Ann's-court, Wardour-street, was charged with assaulting John Lowis, of 32, Rupert-street, shoemaker, and Moss, 80 C. The prisoner was proved to have assaulted Lewis, and while on the way to the station she bit the constable several times on the legs, and it was also stated that she had assaulted Lewis's daughter, a little girl, so badly that blood ran from one of her ears. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed tho prisoner for seven days for each of the assaults on Lewis and the constable, remarking that violent women must be punished as well as violent mon. As to the assault on the little girl, that could be hereafter preferred. MARKETS.—This Day. MARK LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English wheat were on a limited scale, but, generally speaking, in good condition. Owing to the unsettled weather, tho trade for all descriptions was very firm, aid factors demanded a further advance of is per quarter. The quantity of foreign wheat on the stands was mode rate. In all kinds sales progressel steadily, and prices again improved. The quotations realised being is higher than on Monday. Floating cargoes of grain changed hands freely at fu: currencies. The supply of barley was very moderate. The trade ruled steady at the late advanco in prices. Malt was firm in price, with but Tittle business doing. Oats were iu moderate supply and good request, on for mer terms. Beans and peas moved off slowly, but the value of all qualities was well supported. In flour a good business was transacted, at the late advance. SHIP ARRIVALS THI3 WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Ilan. Oats. Flour.

(From our own Special Turf Correspondent), DONCASTE.R, Tuesday Morning. Wo shall have a great mcet;ng here, for up to last night more than a hundred and fifty horses were quartered in the locality. Most of these were at exercise on tha Town Moor early this morning; and among; them we especially noted Achievement, Grand Cross, Knight of the Cres:•ant, Lord Lyon, Marksman, Podargus, Regalia,, Rustic, 13..ais, Repulse, Rapid Rhone's dam colt, Strathconan, Tormentor, Scour de Charite, West wick, and War. The two Leger cracks, Lard Lyon and Savernake did not arrive unt; l P:itr: 4 o'clock yesterday, and the former went to the Salutation, whN:. the latt,r ;alien to the K:rig - s UnforLunately during exerese yester,lay Ell and hurt h 7 .rnself ; but we understand t')l.t, Mr. I? Sutton is determined to run Lora Lyon for the Donc-e'er Cup, whataver his Leger fate may be, and for the Doncaster Stakes also. The ground is not near so heavy as our metropolitan friends generally fancy it is, and this morning Gardevisure (ridden by Thomas) took Lord Lyon (with Custance up) a nice steady gallop of over a mile and a half, and no ani mal in the world could move or look better than the Two Thousand and Derby hero. Dover has evidently given him a splendid preparation, for the colt is as fine as a star, as hard as nails, as strong as a lion, and as docile- as a lamb. He =not possibly be beaten, for Mr. Sutton makes no secret of his being pounds better than he was on the Derby day fact as good as Elland at even weights), and it is very certain that Custance will be half a stone better jockey in the north than he was in the south. His lordship, too, likes the course, and his legs are free from all trace of infirmity. Gardevisure also gave Achievement a gentle gallop. Grand Cross and Scour de Charite went brilliantly, as did Friponnier. Liddington led Marksman and the Blanche of Middlebie filly, and Mr. Merry's Lolt is ertainly much improved, and lays well down to It's work. Mat Dawson galloped Opoponax, Pericles, Misfortune and Moleskin. Sahli is look ing very dickey, but he may possibly be a Leger starter, vs may Artesian, Emigrant, and the Irish representative Assassin. Regalia galloped by herself as usual, and is looking first class. The same may he said of Caithness. Podargus (J. Osborne riding) went at three parts speed with Quick March; and Stmthconan (J. Snowden up) was taken along at a merry pace by Dolan ; the four-year-old Flutt©r colt p;lotir Savernako (Chal loner in the SR id 10), 01 a mite and a half at fair speed. War showed the way for Westwick, the whole of the Leger course, the latter doing it beautifully ; but Knight of the Crescent (Norman), led by linight of St. Michael, did not go quits so far as Mr. Bowes's couplet. Jack-in the h followed t a C e r t y h t e h r e i t a o ee , lP b 'eu i s3 t he unquestionably aCwn:deactlushcel galloped d u Rustic, K loO a k v s a e n s a i d n d i different did the a soft-heat,ed brute. Artesian appears very fit, an,.dOstre gor bounds along splendidly. Rama followed Kilkenny, and is fancied for the Cup ; so is Tormentor, who has got back to her old form. Nu does not go so freely as we have seen her. • TURF AGENCY OFFICE, 100, JERMYN-STREET, ST.

The Roman Question. The following letter has been addressed to the Daily Telegraph by Archbishop Manning : Sir, —In your number of Friday last I read an article on certain words of mine, spoken in the cathedral near Hereford, and I beg to acknowledge the courteous and fair way in which you comment ou them; but I am afraid I must forfeit the ap proval you are so good as to express. The report from which I assume that you take my words breaks off before the following passage, which is given in full by the Hereford Times. After speak ing of the personal independence and supreme guidance of the Sovereign Pontiff, I went on as follows: While men wore seeking now :a secure those two divine prerogatives of his offico —.statesmen, legislators, and diplomatists, who wore seeking at this hour to find some compromise whereby this might be secured—the foolish ness of God, those eighteen hu idred years, had found for Himself His own mode of administering His Church on earth. He had committed to the vicar of His Son the possessioß of that seat which wes the head of the whole world ; and that seat he has held as his own, and as the sphere of his sovereignty, from that hour to this. The world says he will hold it no longer. Let them confide in the past, and look with assured confidence to the future. Let them Rot be alarmed at the bold words of men, nor at the threatening aspect of events. Forty-five pontiffs had either been driven out of Rome, or had never sot their foot in it; nine times that city had been held by usurpers; seven time 3 it had been sacked and all but destroyed; in every century since there was a patrimony of St. Peter, tho..e provinces had been occupied by usurpation and by violence; so that what they saw at th's moment was nothing to that which had boon, and which would be to the end. I quote the report word by word, without cor rection, because it is honest and true in substance, though it does not adequately preserve the argu ment, which was as follows :- 1. That the supreme spiritual office of the head of the Church requires for its free and full exercise the perfect independence of his person. 2. That the independence of his person cannot be secured without exemption from all temporal superiors. 3. That this exception requires a sphere of its Own. 4. That the Providence of God has actually so exempted the head of His Church from all temporal t alltransfer powe rs, and has actua ll y g iven to him, as the s p h ere of his independe nce, the cit y of Rome and its pro vinces, si r title. belong you to w u hi p m ere b e y iv t e h t e ha every right Rome or and of the Roman St a t e t o an y o th er tem opforl From R a oni Power is in express terms excluded. But, as I then went on to say, when the conflict is between an unarmed and defenceless pastor and a great military force, I have no confidence but in God and justice. As I am sure you do not desire that my words should be misunderstood, I would request you to insert this correction in your next number.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, t HENRY E. MANNING. 8, York-place, W., Sept. 8, 1866. and completion of silver.

At every stage of the proceedings, pessimists have not been wanting to suggest difficulties which would impede or destroy the practical advantages of the telegraph. Thus, when the cables were at last safely deposited in the calm, coo l d ep th s of the Atlantic suggestions of speedy decay f rem corrosion and the intensity of the currents used were freely put forward, and gave rise to y deterioration unfound ed. S appear cable having to b e o n suffered tire l doubts, which, happily, inr o es f p a e r from ctof,, thelB6s conduc tivity" by its year's submersion, Mr. Latimer Clark on Sunday telegraphed from Valentia that the tests had been completed, and the cable of 1865 had been found to be oven better than that of the present year. The land lines of telegraph beyond Heart's Content have been found to be in a very imperfect condition, and it has been proposed, not only to renew the existing land linos, but to establish an alternate route of communication with the United States, and to lay a new cable from Placentia Bay to Cape Breton, or some other point on the coast.
