AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA. LwEnPooL, Sunday.—By the 11Jyal mail steam ship, Atneric.l, Shannon, commander, we have advices from New York to the 26th ult., and from Boston to the 27th, She has 100,000 dolls. in specie on freight. The intelligence brought by the America is four clays later than that by the Liverpool and Philadelphia Steam-ship Company's screw-steamer, City of Man chester, which arrived in the Mersey at 7 o'clock on Saturday morning. A. telegraphic summary of the news by the City of Manchester appeared in our paper of Saturday. The America, on the 29th, at 9 p.m., passed a large steamer, bound west, supposed to be one of the Col lins' line. The most important item of news by this arrival is the death of Mr. Webster, who expired at 3 o'clock on Sunday morning, the 24th ult., at his residence, Marshfield, near Boston. He had repaired thither from the labours and cares of his official position at Washington, in consequence of failing health, some weeks before ; but it was not until ten days before his decease that his medical attendants pronounced his recovery hopeless. His last hours comported well with his character and life. The funeral of Mr. Webster was to take place on the 29th ult. The Boston papers of the 27th states, that "upon a post-mortem examination by Dr. Jeffries, it was found that Mr. Webster died of disease of the liver. The immediate cause of death was hemorrhage from the stomach and bowels, owing to a morbid state of the blood consequent upon the above disease:' Mr. Webster was in the 70th year of his age. Tus AMERICAN MARKETS.—It appears from the accounts brought by the last mail, that there is little doing in the cotton-market, and prices under the in fluence of favourable crop advices, had receded * to cent per lb.; the sales for the week amounted to 5,000 bales. At New Orleans a very large business, supposed to be on English account, was being daily transacted, on the basis of 9i to sq for "middling," and freight d. to 9 -16 d ; sales averaging 8,000 to 10,000 bales. The weather still continued to be of a very favourable character, and estimates generally point to 3,000,000 bales as the amount of the new crop. Flour continued in very active demand, and was sold to the extent of 14,400 barrels—ordinary to choice State, at 4 dolls. 50c. too dolls. 58c. ; super fine Canadian, at 4 dolls. 561 c. to 4 dolls. 624 c. ; mixed to fancy Western, at 4 dolls. 561 c. to 4 dolls. 75c.; and common to good Southern, at 4 dolls. 68.1 c. to 4 dolls. 874 c. Rye flour was retailed at 4 dolls. 25c. to 4 dolls. 500., and Jersey meal at 5 dolls. 521 e. per barrel. Wheat favoured ,owners ; the sales embraced 11,500 bushels of Western white, at 1 dol. Bc. to 1 dol. 9c., and 25,000 bushels of Cana dian ditto, at 96c. to 1 dol. 2c. About 2,500 bushels of rye changed hands at 84c. to 843 . c., and 30,000 bushels of Western corn, at 75c. to 751 c. There was a good demand for provisions, with the ex ception of pork, which was dull at 17 dol. to 15 del. for mess and prime; beef, 9 dol. 50c. to 10 dol., and 5 dol. 25c. for country mess and prime; beef hams, 16 dcl. Lard and cheese were firm. The iron-market %vas very firm, but operations were restricted for want of supplies. 100 tons of Scotch pig had changed hands at 31 dol. per ton. Freights were firmer; to London 2s. 6d. per barrel was asked for flour, and 8 per bushel for grain. was at first called Stevenstown, on the Merrimack liver, in New Hampshire. Soon after hia settlement in Salisbury, his first wife having died, he married Abigail Eastman, a woman of morn than ordinary intellect, who became the mother of Ezekiel and Daniel W( biter. She eLs proud of her sons, and ambitious that they should excel in public and private life. Daniel Webster was born on the 18th of January, 1782, in the last year of the war of the revolution, at Salisbury, in the home which his father hal established on the outskirts of civii:zation. The early opportunities for education with which Mr. Webster was favoured were of course very limited, and when quite young he was daily sent two or three miles to school, in mid-win ter, and on foot. The school, wbi,h was kept for only a small part of the year, was of an indifferent character; bat under these disadvantages he showed a great eager ness for learning. "In May, 1796, Webster was taken by his father to the Academy at Exeter, which had been endowed in 1781 by the Hon. John Phillips. In this cele brated school he enjoyed the advantage of only a few mouths' instruction; but, short as the period was his mental powers were thus e.rly developed, and' ho exhibited to his instructors evidence of his superior intellect. After a few months at Exeter, he returned home, and having passed his 15th year, was placed by his father with the Rev. Samuel Wood, of Boscawen. In six months, from February to August, 1797, he completed his preparation for college, under the instruction of Mr. Wood. This preparation was, of course, imperfect; but the standard of classical literature stood very low in this country at the close of the last century. "In 1797, Webster entered Dartmouth College, at Hanover, New Hampshire, where, after four years of as siduous application to his studies, he graduated in August, 1801. Ho was not only distinguished for his attention to his collegiate duties, but devoted himself to general reading, particularly to English history and literature. He took part in a small weekly publication, to which ho contributed selections and original articles. He also delivered addresses before the college societies. He persuaded his father to send his brother Ezekiel to col lege, and during the vacations taught a school to aid in furnishing means for the preparation of his brother for a collegiate course. " Immediately after leaving college Mr. Webster en tered the office of Mr. Thompson, of Salisbury, as a stu dent of law. Mr. Thompson was a lawyer of high standing, and represented New Hampshire at various times in both houses of Congress. While in the office of Mr. Thompson, Mr. Webster accepted an offer to take charge of an academy, at Fryeburg, in Maine, where his salary was one dollar a day. He was able, by act ing as assistant to the Registrar of Deeds, for the county, to earn enough to pay his personal expenses; and, therefore, his salary was all saved as a fund for his own professional education, and to help his brother through college. During his residence at Fryeburg, Mr n o , s Mr. Web ,, s c te o r m b m or e r n o t w ai borrowed, and In September, for the first time , I r B e o a 2 d , Black stone's l e a ck -re turnedto to Salisbury, an d r esumed his studies under Mr. Thompson, in whose off i c e h e remained for 18 months, extending his knowl e d ge o f l aw, besides giving much ' s lime to general reading, especially studying the Latin classics, English history, and Shakspero. He also read Puffendorf's " History of England" in Latin. " Being desirous of witnessing a more enlarged course of practice in the law, Mr. Webster went to Boston, and took up his residence there in July, 1804. Previous to entering upon practice, he pursued his legal studies for six or eight mouths in the office of the Hon. Christopher Gore, a distinguished advocate, and afterwards Governor of Massachusetts, who soon saw and spoke prophetically of the talents of his pupil. In the spring of 1805, Mr. Webster was admitted to the bar in the Court of Com mon Pleas, Boston, and soon after returned to his native State, and commenced practice at Boscawen , near hi s father's residence. Judge Webster died the following year. In May, 1807, Mr. Webster was admitted as at torney and counsellor in the Superior Court of New Hampshire ; and in September of that year, leaving his office in Boscawen with his brother, he removed to Portsmouth, in conformity with his original intention. Here ho remained in the practice of his profession for nine successive years. He soon, with such men as Smith and Mason, eminent in the profession, appeared in the loading cases in all the courts. His practice in No w Hampshire, however, was never lucrative, and, although exclusively devoted to his profession, it afforded him only a bare livelihood. " During the excitement which prevailed previous to the declaration of war with England in 1812, Mr Web ster participated in conventions of his political friends, and in his speeches and essays displayed such extraordi nary ability that many of the prominent men of the State wore anxious to see him in Congress. At the election next ensuing after the declaration of war in 1812, he was brought forward us a candidate for Congress, and elected on a general ticket, in November, 1812. He took his seat at the first session of the 13th Congress, which was an extra session, called in May, 1813. A presenti ment of his ability had preceded him, and in the organi zation of the House he was placed by Mr. Clay, the Speaker, upon the Committee of Foreign Affairs, which was the leading committee in time of war. "On the 10th of June, 1813, Mr. Webster delivered his maiden speech in Congress, on a series of resolu tions moved by himself, relative to the repeal of the Ber lin and Milan decrees of the French Emperor. No full report of this speech was preserved, but it took the House by surprise, from the vast amount of historical knowledge and power of illustration which it displayed.' From this point commenced Mr. Webster's dis tinguished career as a public man. lie sat eight years in the House of Representatives and nineteen years in the Senate, and during the whole of that period, by his great powers of eloquence, End his re markable abilities, he exercised an immense influence over the domestic and the foreign policy of his coun try. He also established for himself a pre-eminent position as an advocate. He is the second Secretary of State in the history of the Union who has died in office, and he is justly regarded by his countrymen as entitled to a foremost rank among the statesmen of the Republic. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 8, 1852. tion, has given in his resignation. M. Dupin has been written to to come to Paris, to take the vacant place. Should M. Dupin refuse, the place will fall to the lot of M. Troplong, first president of the Court of Appeal of Paris ; and then M. Delangic, procureur ireneral at the Court of Cassation, will succeed M. Troplong. In consequence of the extravagant sums charged of late at the Paris Bourse for carrying over shares and stock from one settlement of the account to the other, it is in contemplation to form a powerful company, for the purpose of providing funds at each liquidation to aid the legitimate operations of the money market, so that Vae rate of interest for carrying over stock arid other securities shall (not be more than 6 per cent. per annum. Some of the most eminent bankers and capitalists of Paris are spoken of as being at the head of this plan. The Prince President of the Republic came to Paris on Monday from St. Cloud. He drove him self, followed by two grooms, and without escort. The members of the community of La Trappe (Loire Inferieure) having lately lost their superior, were called on to pay considerable duties on the transfer of their property. They determined to ap ply to the President of the Republic for a diminution of the sum to be paid. The Bishop of Nantes having giving them; his support, ~ and the Prefect of their department having applied to M. Billault for his aid, this latter gentleman solicited the Prince to grant two of the members, Father Eusebius and Father Goias, an audience. This being agreed to, they went in M. Billault's carriage to St. Cloud. The Prince received them most kindly, and complimented them on the good that their community effected. He then entered into the subject of their coming to St. Cloud, and was pleased to declare that their request should be complied with. The fathers withdrew delighted with their success. Abd-el-Kader dined on Thursday at the Palace of St. Cloud. After dinner there was a grand recep tion, at which the Ministers, the Ambassadors, and the members of the great bodies of the State were present. Yesterday, the ex-Emir paid a visit to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. It is said that Abd-el-Kader will leave Paris in the early part of this week. He will return to the Chateau of Amboise, where he will enjoy perfect liberty. He will return to Paris to be present at the fetes of the Empire. PARIS BOURSE, Nov.

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—An exhibi tion has just commenced at this institution of a very novel character—it being an optical and musical illustration of Shakspeare's Midsummer Night's Dream. The scenic illus trations have been executed by Mr. Clare with great skill and effect; nearly the whole of them represent scenes of forest glades, having living figures gambolling and dancing beneath the greenwood tree, giving magical effect to the picture, producing an effect hitherto unknown by the phan tasmagoria.

It seems that he was standing in this yard when a cart suddenly drove up, and before he had time to get out of the way, the wheel forced him some length along the wall, in which way he was dragged to the end of it. He then fell down in an insensible state, and after having the assistance of a surgeon, was carried to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he was seen by the principal surgeons, but he soon died from the effect of great internal injuries.

'While the fireman was engaged trying the engine previous to the depar ture of the train, the pressure being greater than he antici pated, he ran the engine beyond the distance intended, the slippery state of the metals at the time overcame the power of the brake, consequently the engine ran off. Fortunately no one was seriously injured by it, the principal damage done was in the breakage of the engine.

Though he had reached the age of seventy, he still occupied so large a space in the attention of his countrymen, and so prominent a position in the service of the Republic, that his demise will be felt throughout the Union as a public calamity. The newspapers are filled with expressions of grief, and at all the towns which the sad news had reached meetings had been held and measures adopted to evince the sorrow which such a loss had inspired. On the previous Tuesday not the slightest danger bad been apprehended from Mr. Webster's illness, which was disease of the bowels, accompanied by dropsical affection of the stomach, and his physicians anticipated that he would be able to resume the duties of his office in a few days, but on that afternoon the disorder unexpectedly assumed a more menacing aspect, and he gradually grew worse and worse. He was fully sensible of his approaching end, but looked forward to it with magnanimous resignation, and among all the sorrow-stricken friends, relatives, and admirers who surrounded his couch, and with whom he conversed freely, be was the most placid, serene, and un affected. Nor in this last scene and preparation for eternity was the great man unmindful of his duties to his family, his household, and his country. On Thursday forenoon he received his mail as usual, and gave the directions for answers to his letters, many of which were sent to the post-office at Boston by ex press the same evening. To his workmen on his farm he also gave directions as to their operations for the day, and in the course of the evening he proceeded to complete various matters of business which he con ceived to be of importance. On Thursday evening he executed his last will and testament, which had been previously prepared, and to the details of which he gave particular attention. Oa Friday afternoon he had the people employed in his family and upon his farm called in, and, after giving them much earnest advice upon matters temporal and spiritual, bade them a last farewell. On receiving the announcement of his approaching end, he requested that the female members of his family might be called i❑ ; and to each, calling them individually by name, he addressed a few words of farewell and religious consolation. Next he had called in the male members of his family, and the per sonal friends who had been with him for the last few days. Addressing each by name, he referred to his past relations with', them respectively, and, one by one, bade them an affectionate farewell. He now had Mr. Peter Harvey called in and said to him " Harvey, I am not so sick but that I know you ; I am well enough to know you I am well enough to love you, and well enough to call down the richest of Heaven's blessings upon you and yours. Harvey, don't leave me till lam dead — don't leave Marshfield till lam a dead man." Then, as if speaking to himself, he said, " On the 24th of October all that is mortal of Daniel Webster will be no more." He now prayed in his natural usual voice —strong, full, and clear—ending with, " Heavenly Father, forgive my sins, and receive me to Thyself, through Christ Jesus." Conversing with great exactness, he seemed to be anxious to be able to mark to himself the final period of his dissolution. He was told that it might occur in one, two, or three hours, but that the time could not be definitely calculated. " Then," said he, "I suppose I must lie here quietly till it comes." Dr Jeffries offered him something which he hoped might give him ease. The dying statesman remarked— " Something more, Doctor —more. I want restora tion." Between 10 and 11 o'clock he repeated some what indistinctly the words, " Poet, poetry —Gray , Gray." Mr Fletcher Webster repeated the first line of the elegy, " The curfew tolls the knell of parting day." "That's it, that's it," said Mr Web ster, and the book was brought, and some stanzas read to him, which seemed to give him pleasure. From 12 o'clock till 2 there was much restless ness, but not much suffering ; the physicians were quito confident that there was no actual pain. A faintness occurred, which led him to think that his death was at hand. While in this condition some ex pressions fell from him indicating the hope that his mind would remain to him completely to the last. lie spoke of the difficulty of the process of dying, when Dr. Jeffries repeated the verse, "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me ; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me." Mr. Webster said immedi ately, " The fact, the fact ! That is what I want ! Thy rod—Thy rod ! Thy staff—Thy staff!" These were his last words, and he died at 22 minutes before three o'clock on Sunday morning in perfect tranquillity. We abridge from the New York Herald of the 26th ult. the following sketch of his parentage and early life, which will be read with interest : " The father of Daniel Webster, Ebenezer Webster, wa , : a Nmarkable man, six feet in height, and of com manding appearance. In early life he entered the mili tary service of the colonies as a common soldier, and served in the war with tho French, under Sir Jeffrey Amherst and Wolfe, in the invasion of Canada. He ros e to the rank of captain b e f ore t h e an d of the war, arluvdiO having obtained a grant of land for his OP, settled is the town of Salisbury, which FRANCE. The majority of the committee of the Senate which had to examine and report on the Senatus Coasultum, was opposed to the introduction of the names of the ex-King Jerome and his family into the act of settle ment. In its sitting of Friday evening, the commit tee divided on the question, when a majority of the committee formally voted against the introduction of the names of Jerome Bonaparte and of his family into the Senatus Consultutn, as presumptive heirs to the empire. On the division, it appeared that seven we re against the Jerome family, and three in its favour. The three members who voted in its favour Troplong, Count are—M.d'Argout, and General d'Hautpoul. On being informed of the decision of the committee, the Prince Preside n t cal l ed a Council of his Ministers on the subject, and the Council decided that in pre sence of the declared opinion of the committee of the Senate, that the family of Jerome Bonaparte ought not to be included by name among the heirs to the throne—an opinion in which, no doubt, the majority of the Senate coincided—it was not right to persist in the matter, and Louis Napoleon ultimately gave his consent. This put an end to all the difficulties. M. Troplong returned to Paris, and informed his col leagues that the President had yielded to their wishes, and the report was drawn up accordingly. On Saturday, at two o'clock a general sitting of the Senate took place, when M. Troplong read his report. The report simply recommends that the empire should be conferred on Louis Napoleon and the heirs male of his body, whom failing, to any per son whom Louis Napoleon may choose to adopt as his heir. Ultimately the adoption of the draft of the Senatus C nisultum presented on Friday—with the exclusion, however, of the parts relating to the suc cession of Jerome Bonaparte and his family —was postponed until yesterday, when the Senate was to hold a meeting for the purpose. On Saturday morning, the ex-king Jerome, ac companied by his son Napoleon Bonaparte, went to St. Cloud, wh en t h e ex-king declared to Louis Napo leon that he felt the exclusion of his family from the succession as so great an insult to himself and his son, that he was determined to resign not only the office of President of the Senate, but that of Governor of the Invalides, and the only dignity he would con tinue to hold was that of Marshal of France. Louis Napoleon endeavoured to calm the irritation of the old man, and to induce him to change his mind. He stated that although he and his family were not to be mentioned in the Senatus Consultuw, they were not therefore excluded from all hopes of the succession. lie (Louis Napoleon) would still have the power of adoptin g Napoleon Bonaparte if be should have no family of his own ; and his intention was to do so if he show e d that he was deserving of the trust, and could by his conduct gain the confidence of the Country. Louis Napoleon added, that in the mean time he was willing to place Napoleon Bonaparte in a position of trust and dignity. Thus matters stand for the present. We think it to be hardly a gracious act thus pointedly to exclude the name of the sole surviving brother of the great Emperor. A curious incident occurred at the meeting of the Senate on Friday. Among the Senators who entered the hall of the Senate was the Marquis de Turgot, the late Minister of Foreign Affairs. He was in full costume as a senator, but it being the first time he had appeared as a senator, he presented his credentials, and was about to take his seat. Upon this the President informed M. do Turgot that to must retire while his credentials were examined. A short time afterwards he was called in and informed that his commission as a senator was quite regular, but that by the terms of the Constitution the number of senators during the first year was limited to eighty, and as he (M. de Turgot) was the eighty-first on the list, he could not take his seat till after the 14th of January next. M. de Turgot was consequently obliged to retire, not a little astonished at the difficulty thrown in his way, and no less chagrined to find that he was to be deprived for three months longer, not only of his seat in the Senate, but of the pleasure of displaying the handsome costume in which he had that day bedecked his per& on for the first time. As M. de Targot is not very popular, his discomfiture created no little mirth among his colleagues. M. Portali. , , first president of the Court of Cassa- 77.1 E CRYSTAL PALACE AND THE CROAKING PARSONS. (From the Weekly Dispatch ) Mr. Editor,—While it is yet uncertain whether the country may not be edified by the great clerical convo cation, we have had the preliminary performance of a little clerical convocation, viz, that of the clergy o London, convened on the 23th ult., by Archdeacon Bute, to protest against the grant of a charter to the Sydenham Crystal Palace Company, unless a clause be inserted prohibiting its being open to the public on any portion of the Sunday. This movement is marked by the character which usually belongs to Sabbatarian agi tation. It bears exclusively upon the freedom and the enjoyments of the poorer classes. Sabbatarians never attack the rich. No set of people is so notoriously and disgracefully partial in the application of their professed principles. The fourth commandment is brought to bear upon a third-class train ; but it opens no battery on the cushioned carriage of peer or bishop. Protec tion is claimed for ominous drivers and cads, none for liveried coachmen, footmen, and grooms. What pro test do Archdeacon Ha'e and Dr. Croly, and their 80 reverend associates make against the club-houses at the West-end? A n d w h at is Sydenham Palace to be but a people's club-house? The clergy talked of the work that would be imposed on waiters at inns. Have they any care for domestic servants? The honest construction of the fourth commandment (if, indeed, the fourth com mandment have anything to do in the matter) is that it prohibits household work entirely. The great and glaring violation of it is that which takes place in the mansions of the nobility and gentry. To suppress this, would be the first aim of conscientious men. There was not a hostile breath against it in the metropolitan synod. All their strictness, their zeal, their denunciations, were reserved for the innocent and intellectual enjoyments of the operative. Fie upon it! One would not hastily accuse large classes of hypocrisy, but who can help it when incongruities so palpable are thrust in one's face? It is always thus, upon the Sabbath question. The Sabbatarians have never dared seriously to attack the notorious and ceaseless infringements of their professed tenet by the rich and great. It is only upon the poor that they come thundering down with their prohibitions. Let them shut up the clubs ; lock the stable-door and the picture gallery against their owner; make hot Sunday dinners penal; and clear the streets of private carriages: we may then give them credit for consistency and integrity, what ever wo may think of their knowledge or their wisdom. On the Sabbatarian question generally, it is not neces sary now to enter. Every reader of the New Testament knows that Scripture authority for the transfer of the enactmeats and penalties of the Mosaic Saturday Sab bath to the Sunday, is all fudge. There is no such authority. Every student of the ecclesiastical antiquities knows that the early Christians did not act as if any such authority existed. Every observer of society knows that the British Sabbatarians are a pitiful minority of the Christian world in their peculiar intopretation. If the London synod be unaware of these facts, they should have been prudent enough to keep their ignorance to themselves. There was no necessity for bolding a solemn convocation to proclaim to the world that, even in a professional matter, they were below the average standard of information in decently educated persons. It was rash to invite the public to the contemplation of their ignorance, their assumption, their partiality, and their uncharitableness. One emanation of honesty and truthfulness does, how ever, enlighten the darkness of thi s p rocee di ng . I t i s confessed that the opposition was not to intemperance and debauchery. Desirous themselves of visiting the new Crystal Palace upon some of their own six leisure days, they could not disparage the species of enjoyment it would afford to the mechanic or tradesman upon his one leisure day. In shutting him out entirely, they have a re=servation against shutting themselves out at all. Look at Dr. Croly's picture of the none at Sydenham, after 1 o'clock on Sunday. lie describes it as " mingling with an immense multitude, dressed in their best, laugh ing, and looking, and chatting in the fullest excitement of every-day life, among groups of statues and galleries of pictures, and curious works of art, and fine fountains, and showy architecture." And thi s i s t h e scene which they tell us it will provoke the Almighty's wrath and vengeance to look upon. Then let them preach till doomsday, they will never teach the common human heart to love such an Almighty. The petrified theolo gical heart may fear him, but to love is an impossi bility. The apostle who declared that " God is love," would have stood aghast at such a doc trine. Nor is this admission that the clergy were warring against a good thing made in a merely rhetorical way. It occurs repeatedly, and is incorporated in the carefully-prepared document proposed by the Archdeacon, and adopted by the meeting. " I have no doubt," said Dr. Croly, " that the Sydenham Exhibition will be a very splendid show, addressing itself to the mind as well as to the eye, and highly worthy of a cul tivated people." A ga i n , " I fully admit that the Syden ham Exhibition ought to be seen by every one, and even to be an object of national interest." The Archdeacon and the meeting, speaking formally in their manifesto, observe—" It is not, however, the gigantic character of the preparations which are making to draw multitudes of the people to one spot on the Lord's day, which fills us with apprehension of the demoralizing effects of such an assemblage, but rather the intellectual character of the pursuits which, we fear, will there be offered to the pub lic." Yes, that is it. The cloven foot is plain enough. The clerical spirit dreads popular intelligence. Amongst them selves, the parsons say it plainly, forgetting, it would seem, that even their synod sits in a glass house too. They are afraid of " intellectual pursuits." They take alarm at what is highly worthy of a cultivated people. They would father have Sunday as it is than allow it to be, in any portion of it, a day of mental improvement. They com promise with the ale-house and the gin-shop, so that the toleration can be refused to the most curious produc tions of nature and the noblest works of art. They will leave the many listless, setting, stupid, debauched, so that a legal veto may go forth against the wholesome stimulus of their bodily senses and mental faculties. In short, they hoist the black flag, and declare war against the great Sunday school, They know that they cannot cope with the attractions of its teachings any more than with their truth and wisdem. They have no faith. Heaven does not draw souls to itself by their ministra tions. They have no " metal more attractive" thau the Crystal Palace to offer; so they ask the Government to close its doors. And if it does, will they pick up the stragglers? Will the crowds turned away seek shelter in the Church? Then why are they not there at the present time? Were these men daring enough they would demand the revival of the old penalties for not attending one's parish place of worship. They would collect the crowd and dragoon it into church. And for what? To sit listless, or, perchance, toSslumber, under the hum of their stale homilies. " The opening of a floodgate of desecration" is pre dicted, should the Crystal Palace be accessible on a Sunday afternoon. What floodgate ? What dese cration ? Why, lice British Museum and the National Gallery. These also offer intellectual contemplation and enjoyment. They tend to expand and raise the mind. And therefore these, too, excite the " horror end alarm" of the parsons. Haters of the light, not a spark of it can glimmer anywhere but they are sorely troubled thereat, and filled with consternation. The same prin ciple is at work here as in the management of their Sunday schools. The children are not allowed to learn writing or cyphering ; nor, of course, any of the higher branches of instructioa. In tilde day schools a very moderate allowance of learning is doled out, compared with catechistical and dogmatic) theology. But on Sundays knowledge is prohibited as a profane thing. It is the old battle, fought since priestcraft first began, and to last till priestcrafc shall come to an end. To the morbid obliquity of priestly vision knowledge is the great devil himself. He dreads mental culture worse than physical debauchery. And these persons have the audacity to talk of "bring ing down the wrath and displeasure of Almighty God;" and of the nation " incurring his anger," and " drawing down his vengeance." They wield thunderbolts, forsooth. They " deal damnation round the land." They pretend that infinite perfection will be in a fury for the enforce ment of their c. nundrumt. There is no impiety to com pare with that of parsons. They have a professional familiarity with topics which the natural dictates of the human mind teach us Ito treat with reverence. They " rush in where angels fear to tread.," They pond to hell for over, with loss ceremony than a City Aldermen would commit to Clerkenwell for a fortnight. " Wrath," "anger," "displeasure""vongeance ;" what words are these for contemptible, dingy, crawling worms to apply to the blessed impassible Infinite. What does Dr. ()rely k now about the vengeance of Universal Love? How long has Ar chdeacon Hare been a privy councillor of the Omniscient? Let them stick to their bibs and cassocks, to their fonts and funerals, to their tithes end Easter offerings; and not fence their " figment= Anglicanum." as Calvin called this Judaizing Sabbatarian notion, with the fires of Almighty vengeance. Being neither Papist nor Pu seyite, I yet think that public penance would well be come them for this daring profanity of denunciatory language. They may appropriately perform it on the first Sunday in May next, at the open and thronged portals of the Crystal Palace. A genuine horror of public demoralization might find more fitting themes than the wicked influence of trees and flowers, statues and fountains. Have the clergy slept through the late elections? Did they hear no sounds of violence and intimidation? Did no disgusting scenes of drunkenness and debauchery flit before their slumbrous oyes? In their irregular confessionals has there been no whisper f violated consciences by the enforced perversion of the citizen's most sacred right? Have theyno cognizance of that mission of demoralization which works pestiferously over the land, to the ruin of families, and the debasement of individual character, by the arts of the briber and corrupter? Is offence so rank that earth reeks with it, and yet it n ever reac h es t h e ir nostri l s ? they These holy men might find wor k enoug h to do were as eager to stay the pla gue o f v i ce an d m isery genera ted , t by electioneering agen c y as t h ey are to enforce a h .0- logic ti technicality. lint they look on and see people driven by dread o f t empora l i njur y, or lure d b y sordid temptations to vi o l a t e t h e i r ow n consciences, i n the sight of God and man, by the electoral falsehood at the p o ll, They look on, an d sa y no thing. No archdeacon sum mom them to a condemnatory synod. The mounsfns of iniquity move them not. All their horror sleeps till the graceful exhalation of the Crystal Palace o r risees,and than then the sight of a statu e enra g es them the sale of a soul. Were tho h clergy to do their duty in an d parishes t roughout the cointry, it their pulpits would not have been possible f or the scenes to have been enacted w hi c h were every w ho se too common and obtru sive during the late election contests. Where, then, were their tests and tirades? Where, then, their de „logtlo3 and denunciations? Was their " angry" Deity in as sound a slumber as themselves; Or why did they fall to prophesy hi s " vengeance?" Here would have been work bearing some harmony with their Christian professions. They might have mitigated this monstrous evil. They let it pass, and only arouse THE CONTINENT. SPAIN. Accounts have been received from Madrid to the Ist instant. It is reported that the session of the Cortes will not be opened before the 20th of December, the anniver sary of the birth of the Princess of Asturias. The report, however, requires confirmation. There was no Bourse at Madrid on Monday last, the Ist of November, being a fete day. HOLLAND. In the sitting of the First Chamber the project of law for regulating the division of the provinces into electoral districts was taken into consideration ; also the desirableness of sending a deputy to Florence, in order to testify the sympathy of the Netherlands for Francisco and Rosa Madiai. It was determined that subscriptions should be immediately opened for two different objects—in the first instance, for the Madiais ; and, in the second, for the oppressed Protestant Chris tians in Hungary, who were not permitted to have public worship. Baron Van Lynden, Baron Wa hauys, and M. Van Prinstere were appointed secre taries, with power to receive subscriptions. A con siderable sum was collected at the meeting. ITALY. The Turin Opinione gives as follows the members of the Ministry :—Count Cavour, President and Minister of Finance ; General Barbormeda, Foreign Affairs ; Penza de San Martino, Minister of the Inte rior ; Cibrario, Public Instruction; Boncompagni, Religion and Justice; La Marmora, War; and Paleocapa, Public 'Works. Le Resorgimenio states that M. Cibrario will not be a member of the Cabinet. RUSSIA. The camp at Wognesinko is broken up. The Emperor Nicholas had been present at all the manoeuvres, and had left for Nicolusdorf by way of Sebastapol. On the 17th the Russian fleet had run into the har bour of aiessa from the Black Sea. It was under the command of Admiral Nakkimons. It consisted of ten ships of the line, eight of 84 and two of 120 guns; two frigates of GO and 52 guns, and two ccrvettes of 20 and 18 guns. The squadron wa to take on board the troops of the camp of AVognesinko and convey them to their winter quarters in the Crimea. _ _ _ Winter appeared to be setting in very early this year in Russia. On the 26th Oct., a good deal of drift ice appeared on the Neva at St. Petersburgb, and the Troijke-bridge was broken down. The en• tire Gulf of Finland is blocked up with drift ice. It appears from the official report published at War saw, respecting the cholera in the present year, that in the capital of Poland, from Bth July to 6th Sept., 20,000 persons were attacked by the epidemic, of whom 4,462 died. The population of the city was 161,000 souls, there was consequently 1 death to every 37 souls, and 1 case to every 16 souls in the whole kingdom of Poland ; the number of cases from 24411 May to .sth Sept., was 46,318, that of deaths 20,906. RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.-THE MADIAIS. A numerous and influential meeting was held on Sa turday morning in the great room az, the Rotunda, Dub lin, to petition the Queen on the subject of the suffering Madiais. The Earl of Mayo presided. The meeting was addressed by Mr. Grogan, AP., Archdeacon Stop ford, the Dean of Armagh, Colonel Lewis, &c. The following resolution was unanimously agreed to: —" That valuing, as we do, the blessing of religious liberty which the equal laws of Great Britain and Ire land wero framed to secure, we feel the deepest sympathy for Francesco and Rosa Madiai, who are suffering such relentless persecution upon purely religious grounds." The Dean of Armagh then moved the adoption of a petition to the Queen, protesting against the imprison ment of the Madiais, and entreating her Majesty " to make the feelings of the British nation known to the Tuscan Government, and endeavour to procure either a reversal of the judgment on the said Francesco and Rosa Madiai, or at least such alleviation of their sen tences as would admit of their seeking refuge in some land where it is lawful for each man to worship God after his own conscience." This motion, like the former, was unanimously carried; after which a vote of thanks was passed to the deputa tion, consisting of the Earl of Roden, the Earl of Cavan, the Hon. Somerset Maxwell, and Captain Potter, which has gone to Florence from Great Britain, to remonstrate with the Duke of Tuscany. A second meeting for the same purpose was held in the Round Room of tho Rotunda at 7 o'clock p.m. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, there was a very numerous and respectable attendance. THE BIRKENHEAD SUBSCRIPTION.—The committee of the United Service Birkenhead Fund held their monthly meeting at the Royal Naval College, Ports mouth, en Saturday. The committee, since the sub scription was opened in April, have issued upwards of 1,0001., having collected the cases of, and relieved 138 persons connected with both services. Of these more than 100 are relatives of the soldiers who were on board at the time and lost their lives in her. DEPARTURE of TUE ASlA.—Saturday afternoon, at a quarter past 2 o'clock, the Cunard lino of steam ships Asir:, Captain Lott, sailed from Liverpool with the usual mails, 90 passengers, and a good general cargo upon freight for the United States and British pos sessions in North America. Lint. Scriven, R.N., Ad miralty agent, had charge of the mails. NEW COLONIAL BANK.—Another colonial bank is projected, under the titlo of the " London, Australian, and Colonial Chartered Bank." Tho capital is to be fixed at 500,0001„ of which it i s contemplated to raise ono-fifth in the colonies. themselves to suppress the good which will flow from the access of the people, upon the people's day, to the people's palace. Their inertness in the one case will be fitly punished by their failure in the other. They would not put down the mart of national corruption; they shall not shut up the national Sunday school. PUBLICOLA. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCXLIII. TO-MORROW'S RACES AT LIVERPOOL, A strong list of stakes gives promise of a very fair couple of days' sport this week at Liverpool, Mr. Topham seemingly have given entire satisfaction in the Handi caps he has created for this meeting. Since Friday, comparatively little spectilation has taken place upon the Liverpool events, the only horse backed for the Champion ,Hurdle Race being Tomboy, about whom 3 and 4to one have been taken. For the Sefton Handi cap the principal investments have been on Doubt, Kite flyer, and Little Davie, at 5 and 6to 1 each. One or two others have been inquired after, namely, Sir Robert, Retail, and the Little Fawn, but nothing of any con sequence done. The colt, by Inge out of the daughter of Toscar, and Effie Deans, were the fancies for the Tyro Handicap on Saturday, as little as 3 to 1 being taken about the former, and half a p o i nt more about the latter. The Steeplechase batting has been confined to Victresa and Bourton, 3 to 1 bein g about the average pr i ce o f either. No decided demonstration has been made in fa vour of any animal for the Aintree Stakes, for which 6 to 1 is offered on the field. For the Steeplchase at Edgeware, Voyager and the Screw are about equal favourites at 6to 4 each. Mr. B. Land's, as I remarked on Friday, being the animal likely to carry off the stake. The first race on the card to-morrow at Liverpool is the Tyro Handicap of five toys, each, with 40 added (over the mile course). Presuming that Charley will be the representativ e of Captain Lane's interests, I must look to him, or Effie Dean s , f or th e winner, expecting to see the colt by Ingo, and Audubon very handy. The Sefton Autumn Handicap of 10 Sove. each, h ft, with 100 added (mile and three-quarters) will, in all likelihood, be contested by a good field, numbering 12 or 15. Itussborough, I should say, will be kept in his stable, as with Bst 71b up he can hays very little chance of winning. Woolwich, at Bst 41b is too heavily weighted. Retail and Alonzo are not in badly at Bst each ; nor is Truth at 7st 101 b. Alp and Windischgratz are com pletely out of it at 7st Blb each. Warwick and Black Doctor, at the same weight as the two preceding, are anything but badly treated, but neither are very likely to do anything good on this course. Lough Bawn and Candlewick at 7st 61b each, and Goldfinder at 7st 41b, are made quite safe by Doubt, if she runs. View Halloo, Tom Moore, Kiteflyer, Unity, and Mrs. Birch, stand no chance in the presence of Colsterdale at the difference of a pound in weight. The little Fawn, at 6st 91b, ought to run well ; Lindrick at a pound less, and Little Davie at fist 71b, I think have too much to carry. Surveyor, Lerrywhent, and St. Michael, together with Thunderbolt and Bit of Blue, Cheroot, Fuze, and Made line have no attractions for me, Miss Jemima being seemingly the best of the light division. lam not alto gether certain of the starting of Douar; but, if she runs, I can discover nothing in the race good enough to beat her. Should anything come to hand in the course of the next few hours concerning this stake, it will be published in the Third Edition. The Champion Hurdle Race, of 5 sots, each, with 10 added (two miles, over six flight of hurdles), will pro bably terminate in the success of Caurire or Tomboy, the Drag being well up. Warwick and Sir Robert would be formidable antagonists, but I cannot believe that their owners intend running them in such a race. The Selling Stakes (over the mile course) will bring the first day's racing to a finish. Victress seems to bo about the best for the Steeple chase. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. INTELLIGENCE EXTRA.
