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 Dow-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 verysallow countenance, black hair, and beard. lie 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 Murlay division of the West Riding of Yorkshire, and of 111, Ilalf-paved-yard,. Salisbury-square, Fleet-street, and of 15, Great White Lion-street, Seven Dial; tailor, the charge against him being wiliully murdering his son, Arthur Richard Jeffrey; on the 30th of July last, by hanging him in a cellar, at No. 1, Neale's-passage, Great Earl 7 street, in the parish of St. Air. 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 Neal'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—lie is not here that I know of ; the rope, how ever, was cut above the knot. Mr. Vaughan—Did you observe how many times the cord was rcund 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 lingers between the cord and the boy's neck. The boy's hands were tied loosely bahind 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 boats 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. Vaughan.—Was there a chair in the cellar upon which any person could have stood. Wituess.—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 some 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 where 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 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 where the body of the boy was found. Witness -Yes, your worship. Mr. Vaughan—Go on and describe what you did. Witness -I cent 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 collar. 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 appeare u 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 stomacep 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 causo that ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Vaughan—What was the probable age 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 of July. Mr. Vaughan—Do you know the prisoner at the bar ? Witness- Too well, your worship. He married my daughter. Mr. Vaughan—ls she alive ? Witness—l believe so, though I have not seen her these two months. On 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. Ue said "Dress that child" three times. The child said "Don't, granny, dress me; J 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, however, 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 mo one farthing for keeping the child, and for the five months the child was with me he never gave me ono farthing. I had applied to him for money when ho was at Gravesend, but he sent me up a letter telling me he would pay me 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 had 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 fur any mono y for the keep of it. Prisoner—When I came for the child did I ask for his black clothes? Witness—Oh, dear, no ! Tho child had on the same clothes he wore 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'nt we all go into a publie-house, the child and all, that same Sunday night when I left? Witness No, certainly not. Prisoner—Did'ut 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'ut I say that I had been told that you had been given Us. in ono 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. 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 the 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; ho came to my place between 8 and 9, and brought his child with him. It was the child mentioned by the last witness. He said he had come to stop for the night, and I told him Ire could stay if he liked. Ile remained till bn tween 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning in my room, when he got up and went away with the child. Ile and the boy had both been to bA, and had a good sleep. When he left he said he was going a long way in the country. I don't recollect hearing- the child speak all the time it was in my room. 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. itasthp sou of the prisoner. Before tle 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 he make ? Witness—He told me to mind my own business. Prisoner—You say the child did rot 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 leaye 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 ilium the child ? Witness—l have seen you beat him. Prisoner—Yes. When ho had told mo a story. Witness—l know you have beat the child. Prisoner—Do you recollect me taking the child away in this mysterious manner before P Witness—Yes; from - your 'wife, not from me after you brought him at Whitsuntide. You had thou been drink ing, and when you came on that Sunday you were the worse for liquor. Prisoner—l have never bean 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. 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 Me ssrs 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 ig e tli quantity of by means of an order of paper h ang i ngs f rom M r . Silas obtaining Tucker pur porting to come from his father, but was in reality signed of l a l by himself. Since the last examination the prisoner Hiatt's father had gone round to the persons where his son had sold the paperhanging, and got a quantity of them back with a view of screening his son, and he 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 paperhangings of the prisoner Hiatt, and subsequently, on his father calling giving them up to him. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for trial. A FELLS SAVAGE.—Maria Yearly, of 5, Ann's-court, Wardour-street, was charged with assaulting John Lewis, 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 the 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 men. As to the assault on the little girl, that could be hereafter preferred. MARKETS.---This Day. MARK LANL. 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, the trade for all descriptions was very firm, and factors demanded a further advance of is per quarter. The quantity of foreign wheat on the stands was mode rate. In all kinds sales progressed steadily, and prices again improved. The quotations realised being is higher than on Monday. Floating cargoes of grain changed hands freely at full currencies. The supply of barley was very moderate. The trade ruled steady at the late advance in prices. Malt was firm in price, with but little 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 THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flonr.

BOARD OF TRADE INQUIRY—Tins DAY This day an investigation was held at the Green wick police-court, before Mr. Traill, the magistrate, and Captains Harris and Baker, respecting the late fearful collision off the Suffolk coast, between the Bruiser steamer and the Haswell, a screw collier. Mr. llargreave Hamel 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 the 19th ult. the Bruiser, which was on her way from Hull to London, came in collision With the Haswell, which was bOund to the north from the Thames, a few miles off Aldborough, on the Suffolk coast. The Bruiser sunk in about 10 minutes, and several of the passengers and 30 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, whCre they were landed. Mr. Hamel having opened the Case in a speech detailing the main facts, Captain Chase, the master of the Haswell, was examined at great length, but the inquiry will occupy several days.

A very crowded meeting of the North London Branch of the Refoim League was held last night at Myddleton . Hall, Islin3ton, 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 ing the 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 proies the necessity for an organisation of Reformers throughout the country powerful enough to deter them 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. 11. 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. Ile 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 Lotnes, 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. LI:CRAFT (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 Temterance-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. APGILCURIST 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 Night. During a strong gale from the west yesterday afternoon (says W. 11. Holmes, Esq.) the Nicholas Harvey, of this port, bound from Llanelly 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. Joh,p 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. TILE 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 increasing stream of tourists was met with such a counter-current of rain that many returned or diverged in quest 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 groat success in the character of Master Walter, in the " Hunchback." lle 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 preparato, to his en tering upon a lengthewl engagement at the Theatre- Royal, Manchester. RAILWAY IN TELLIGENCE. LLYNVI AN]) OGMORE, The half-yearly general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Great Western Hotel, Paddington ; Mr. Macgregor in the chair. The CHAIRMAN read the report, which stated that the Amalgamation Act uniting the Llynvi Valley and Ogmore Valley Railway Companies into one company received the Royal assent on the 28th of June last, and the affairs of the two companies or sections were now being managed by one board. The gross receipts on the Llynvi section for the half-year ending the 30th of June amounted to £12,640 against £11,192 for the corresponding half of last year, showing an increase of £1,448. The working expenses and interest charges amounted to £6,972 against £6,233, showing an increase of £639. The balance available for dividend was £5,668, and this sum, after paying interest of 5 per cent. on the preference shares, would afford a divi dend at the same rate on the ordinary stock. This stock would henceforth be entitled to a preference dividend of 5 per cent, per annum in priority to the ordinary stock of the Ogmore capital until the ag gregate revenue should be sufficient for two conse cutive years to pay 5 per cent. upon all the paid-up ordinary capital of the amalgamated company for the time being issued in respect of lines open for traffic. The available balance of the Ogmore line was £1,406, which would afford a dividend at the rate of 2 per cent. to the shareholders of that com pany. The engineer's report stated that the third rail was now available for traffic from Porthcawl to Tywith, as well as along the Ogmore line. The important works had so far advanced that the old tidal harbour, which formerly could only admit small vessels, had now been converted into a basin capable of receiving large steamers. When the inner basin was completed they would have special means for the shipping of coal. Acts were passed last session authorising extension lines from the South-Wales Mineral and other railways in the dis trict, which would form junctions with the com pany's lines, afford great accommodation to the public, and be remunerative to the company. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report, which was seconded and carried. Dividends at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum were declared on the preference shares of 1855, 1862, and 186 k, and on the ordinary stock at the same rate, payable on the 25th inst. The CHAIRMAN said he had to propose that the reserve fund be divided, and for that purpose that a bonus of 2 per cent. be paid on the ordinary stock and third preference stock on the 25th inst. This was carried unanimously. The sum of £5OO was unanimously voted to the chairman out of the reserve fund, in acknowledgment of the valuable services he had rendered to the com pany on various occasions during several years past. Mr. G. WooLeorr, in moving that the remunera tion of the directors for the current and future years be £9OO per annum, said that for the half-year end ing the 30th June, 1853, the traffic receipts amounted to £4,125, and for'the half-year ending the 30th of June last to £12,640; the capital expended to the 30th Juue, 1853, amounted to £113,555, and to the 30th June last to £351,688, showing that the traffic receipts had increased pari passe with the outlay of capital, and that the undertaking had steadily pro gressed. The motion was seconded and carried unani mously. The meeting was then made special, and the di rectors were authorised to create and issue new share capital to the amount of £253 0 000 under the powers of the Llynvi Valley Railway Act, 1866, and the Ogmore Valley Railway Act, 1866 ; and when the whole amount was subscribed and one-half thyreof paid up to borrow £51,000 on mortgage. Mr. BROGDEN, a director, explained that the ob ject of raising the proposed capital was to develope a most valuable coal district of 60,000 shares. It was the opinion of eminent men that it was the best maiden coalfield in England. There were also large beds of iron and limestone i❑ the district. lle be lieved it would prove a very successful undertaking and be second to none. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. The Roman Question. The following letter has been addressed to the Daily Telegraph by Archbishop Manning:— Sir,—ln 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 on 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 ware seeking now to secure those two divine prerogativeq of his office —statesmen, legislators, and diplomatists, who wore seeking at this hour to find some compromise whereby this might be secured—the foolish ness of God, these eighteen hundred years, had found for Himself His own mode of administering His Church on earth. Ile had committed to the vicar of His Son the possession of that seat which was the head of the whole world ; and that seat ho 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 not bo 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 set their foot in it ; nine times that city had been held by usurpers ; seven times it had been sacked and all but destroyed; in every century since there was a patrimony of St. Peter, those provinces had been occupied by usurpation and by violence; so that what they saw at this moment was nothing to that which had been, and which would bo 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 powers, and has actually given to him, as the sphere of his independence, the city of Rome and its pro vinces, which belong to him brthe sa;redness of every right and title. From this, Sir, you will perceive that all transfer of Rome or of the Roman State to any other tem poral 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 req uest you to insert this correction in your next number. --I am, Sir, your obedient servant, NENR y E.

Thus, when the cables ic'i m l •ere at last safely deposited in the calm, cool depths cables s of the Atlantic suggestions of speedy decay from corrosion and the intensity of the currents used were freely put forward, and gave rise to • doubts, which, happily, appear to be entirely unfounded. So far from the 186.5 cable having suffered deterioration in respect of " 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 even better than that of the present year. Tho land lines of telegraph beyond Heart's Content have been found to bo 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.
