The extension of the railway system on the continent, its introduc tion into Denmark, Norway, and. Russia, countries immediately surrounding Sweden, has rendered it indispensable, in a national point of view, that the latter should no longer be isolated from the grand chain of European communication. To meet this necessity the Government of Sweden has granted a concession for the construction of a series of trunk and branch lines, adequate to the internal necessities of the kingdom, and to its foreign traffic. The eellatrUdion olvs,Grand Trunk Line between Stoitirlm and clottenburg has been, in the first instance, determined en,. COmPrier log an extent of 350 miles, by which messes- the great design of tilting the Baltic and the North Seas will be accomplished, and, in connexion with the line about to be established across Denmark, the Journey from St. Petersburgh to London will be accomplished in half the time occupied_ at present ; the navigation of the Sound will be avoided ; and consequently the payment of Sound dues, together with a saving of freight, insurance, and the delay of a long voyage up the Baltic. The port of Gottenburg, on the North Sea, being accessible during a greater portion of the year than the Baltic ports, the navigation to the north of Europe will be continued until a much later period in the year than at present ; the Russian traffic from Western Europe and America would, in summer from choice, and in winter from necessity, add largely to the traffic of this Line. The object of the present Company, is the construction of the first section of this Grand Trunk line, to the extent of about 88 English miles, between Koping and Hult, which will connect the two prin cipal lakes of Sweden, Wenern, and Malarn ; the remainder of the route, between Stockholm and Gottenburg, will be accomplished for the present by the steam-boats through the lakes. The concession for the first section has been obtained front the Government of Sweden, for a term of 40 years, with a guarantee of 5 per cent., on a capital of 416,6791., thus offering to the capitalist a highly profitable investment secured on the faith of one of the most responsible Governments in Europe, without any public debt whatever, and with an annual surplus revenue. From the annual sum of 20,8331. thus guaranteed by the Go vernment, 4 per cent. per annum will be paid tothe shareholders, and the remainder will be applied to create a sinking Lund to re deem the entire capital at the expiration of forty years. It is important to observe that the shareholders will be entitled to the entire profits of the railway, which, it is confidently expected, will realize from 8 to 10 per cent. per annum. Contracts have been entered into with a responsible English con tractor, from whom security has been taken for the execution of the entire works of the line, and to provide all the rolling stock, plant, and workshops necessary for the efficient working of the railway, on such terms as will secure the execution of the whole, the payment of all preliminary expenses, cost of management until the opening of the line, and 4 per cent. interest to the shareholders during the period of construction, for the amount of the capital of 416,6701. Full powers are granted to the Company of establishing an electric telegraph, with the usual privileges attached thereto. Four per cent. interest will be allowed to the Shareholders on their cane, from the day of payment, during the period of con struction. The payment of interest and dividend will take place at Stockholm, Gottenburg, Paris, and London, at a fixed rate of exchange of twelve rix-dolars banco to the 11. sterling.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pOthologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself ono of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and nviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these eases.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. - FROM THE MORNING PIPERS OF THIS DAN. TIMES.—The Popish agitators of Ireland have positively adopted what Americans would call the " platform " of Religious Equality for the approach ing season. These sworn and devoted followers of the M'Hales, the Slatteries, and the Cullens—these men wbo prescribe seminaries of education in their own country, and whose fellow-religionists in Rolm and Florence consign all Dissenters to the dungeon or the galleys—these very people, known and branded for intolerant bigots, beyond even the cur rent wilfulness of bigotry —are meeting together and resolving that " religious freedom, equal, impartial, and universal, shall be extended to all, of whatever religious denomination, and that all shall share equally in the ecclesiastical resources of the State, according to the religion in which they were born, or which their consciences may lead them to profess ! " These doctrines, thus laid down and proclaimed, are really and actually the production of pure and tho rough-going Papists-3f men who remit to perdition all congregations but their own, who defend interdicts against Protestant worship in foreign countries, and who represented the Queen's University in Ireland as an institution conducting directly—qte use their own language—" to hell fire and damnation." We are persuaded, as we remarked before, that Irishmen, and Irishmen alone, could have ventured oa such an au dacity of self-contradiction. Even Jeauitism could never have done as much without a' smack of the true Hibernian element. By and by we shall probably see " Conservative committees ' sittitig in Dublin and publishing strong resolutions against all kinds of agi tation, disturbance, or intrigue. ~, We have no intention of institttipg any argument with the Sackville-street conspirat&i. ~,10,,pq_ single respect do their proceedings deserve any serious at tention on the part of the British public. The com mittee's advertisement is contemptible as a political symptom, and even as a bull it will only bear laugh ing at once. We know perfectly well, indeed, that the conspirators themselves attach no real importance to their project. In the desire to get hold of the property of others, if such felony could be contrived, they are no doubt very earnest, but they are not in considerate enough, even as Irishmen, to believe that a Dublin club will be indulged with the harrying of an ecclesiastical establishment, or that a period when Papists in Ireland are diminishing, and Protestants multiplied by hundreds daily, is the most fitting moment for the abolition of the Irish Church. They have no expectation of being listened to; but a fresh subject of agitation was wanted, and this looked the best. Twelve months ego it was the " Defence As sociation ;" but the Defence Association was crushed out with a tread, and now it is the ilstruction of a Protestant establishment, under the pretext of a " Religious Equality Conference." The new idea, it was thought, might frighten the Government, excite the Papist population, and attract some sympathizers among English Nonconformists ; and, though it would some to nothing, that was no great drawback on an Irish experiment. We are not going to exalt this piece of impudent folly to the character of a political project by discuss ing its justice or propriety. There ip no need to ex pose a thing which will die fast enotigla without any exposure. We offer merely a few plain remarks to these organized agitators on the subject of their agitations generally. They seem to have, been terribly affronted with what we said the other day, but they may assure themselves that it was nothing but the truth. We do not wish to bluster or threaten. It is not the way of Enournot in lawst he puthab iitao force, proclaimingor that w aloud w ill keep the peace of the kingdom. But, for the las e t five-and -twenty years, Irishmen have been habi tuated to productive agitation and to the attainment of their ends by the t h reat of making themselves ungo glistraten we. We will see r e ungo vernable if they were refused. The time for this work i s pas t. Englishmen have acquired two pieces of know ledge; first, that these menaces mean nothing at all; and next, that the concessions they provoke are unscrupu lously abused. We granted emancipation for fear of civil war, and in deference to the maxims of theoretical wisdom. We now know that " civil war means a' row in a cabbage garden, and that the conclusions of liberal theories are convicted by the wilfulness of emancipated Papists. Nothing has followed from Roman Catholic Emancipation which its advocates predicted, except the satisfaction produoecp rightly, while everything that Lord Winchoo— pro phesied has been more than confirmed—we are driven to confess it—by the madness of the liberated crew. These facts have now furnished teaditions of Go vernment. We now see our way, ind we are not going to be bullied again. It would be exceedingly disagreeable to the people of this country to be forced into any extremities with the Papists of Ireland, but it would be worse still to permit these Papists to give the people of England the law. We should take the less of two evils, nst only because it is the less, but because it would infallibly, when closely encountered, prove a great deal less still. If Dr. lal‘llale will compose himself to philoso phical serenity as he reads these remarks, he will see that the policy thus approved is not the result of anger or indignation, or the symbol of de liberate oppression, but the conclusion of com mon prudence only. As Papists cannot be satisfied without an absolute totality of licence, we must go vern unsatisfied Papists as well as we can. If Irish men, as is very possible, must needs ixaite themselves in associations and committees for the public prosecu tion of some extravagant folly, they will be indulged in their fancies up to the furthest limit consistent with the good order of the State, but toe attention or respect of the Legislature will be beyoad their reach. There was a time when it was penal in various de grees to profess the doctrines or celebrate the rites of Popery. We trust these times may never return, though the M`Hales and Cullens are taking every step to recal them. But Englishmen can very well distinguish between those attributes of the Romish religion which it suits the genius of Popery 80 con veniently to confound. They can imagine that Po pish congregations want Popish masshcuses, and that Popish clergy want Popish orders, but they are not to be persuaded that Popish sacraments cannot be administered unless the bishops enjoy the titles of a territorial peerage. Undoubted IT it has al ways " been the practice " of the Papal See to insist upon these designations, because it has always been the practice of the said see to claim in every country a dominion introduced as spiri tual authority, but convertible at the first op portunity into temporal power. We can separate those accidents which Rome adroitly assimilates to each other, and neither in this country nor in Ire land will anything be permitted to Papists which raises their profession above that of any private or independent congregation. We shell not stone them as idolaters, though they want but the power to burn us as heretics. We shall confine them to a sphere where their doings will affect none but themselves, and, if Dr. M'liale will but look atten tively at the signs cf the times, he will discover that the true friends of " religious liberty" may have enough to do in preserving even this result of their past and ill-requited labours. the consideration of each matters as may be thereby submitted to them." If the Times continues seriously to writs and pub lish such fictions as this, can it retain, however bril liantly conducted, its influence with so truth-loving a nation as the English ? or, will not all men when ad dressing another from whom they have heard some eitravagant story, say—" You must have read that in the Times (From the Daily News.) The Times announces a bel:ef in what has been for some time feared and apprehended, but what is, nevertheless, still almost incredible—that Lord Derby and his colleagues have advised the Queen to grant to Convocation her Royal licence, to proceed at its next meeting to business. We would repeat that such a story would be quite incredible were it not for the general character of the present Government—the peculiar rashness and precipitency of the Premier,—and the High Church and Tractarian obligations he and his colleagues have imposed on themselves. If, however, it be true, then the weakest and most incompetent Ministry England has had since the Hanovarian suc cession, will have dared to do an act more audacious and mischi 3VOUS than the strongest Ministry since that period ever dreamt of. Since 1719, such a thing as restoring or reviving convocations never entered the head of a responsible adviser of the English Crown, until, in an evil moment for the country, Lord Derby became the Minister of Queen Victoria. And if he has really given any such advice to Her Majesty, he will have done so in the presence of two recent facts —one, that the very advocates of such a policy two years ago withdrew their own motion on the subject in the House of Lords ; the other, that they have never dared even to moot the proposition in the House of Commons. True; the revival of Convocation for business pur poses is within the traditionary scope of the Royal pre rogative. But we live under a Parliamentary Govern ment; in England we have a Parliamentary Church ; and the policy of our Ministers must in all respects and all subjects be a Parliamentary policy. Now, even for the Sovereign to revive Convocation after more than a: century's silence a silence in favour of which there always has been, and is still, an unanimity of all rational opinion—will substantially be to take the Church of England out.of the sphere of Parliamentary j urisdiction—a step which the people of England never will submit to. That, however, is the end and aim of the schemers and plotters, lay and ecclesias- tical, who have been urging this step on Lord Derby and his colleagues. They seek to render the Church an institution separate from, and independent of, the Legislature ; with powers, privileges, and authority, which Parliament cannot interfere with or eontrol. They wish to make a twofold division of royalty ; one, as head of the Church with its spiritual council, Convocation; the other, as head of the State, with its temporal council, Parliament. Once tolerate Convo cation, and we shall have to embark in a struggle that must end either in a complete revolution of the constitution of this country, or in the destruction of its Church. Were it possible simply to revive the Convocation as it was situate in 1719, a greater nuisance could not be restored. There are no such scenes and succession of discords, wranglings, disputes, and literary war fares in the world's history as those which Convoca tion from the period of the Revolution of 1688 to 1719 produced. The two houses quarrelled and fought about privileges and forms; the lower house of clergy abused the upper house of bishops ; Mae upper house of bishops censured and rebuked the lower house of clergy; the writings and sentiments of the most eminent men of the day were tortured and ransacked by eager, furious polemics to afford means of prosecution and persecution ; episcopacy was accused of all manner of treasons and misfeasances to the Church because of its moderation towards the State ; pretensions were raised far the Church incompatible with order and civil government; the toleration of dissent and of free opinion was endangered ; the country was flooded and teased, and tormented with pamphlets, and works and publications on the most perplexing (and happily the most useless) of all subjects; theories the most preposterous were started; and the comprehension of the Church was in imminent danger, when the Pri mate advised the Sovereign to silence Convocation, and to give peace to the land. After a few years the Royal licence to proceed to business was again issued; with, however, the •melancholy consequences— " envy, hatred, and all uncharitableness ;" and once more, with the full approbation of the Archbishop of Canterbury and amidst the applause of the nation, Convocation was closed in 1719, it was hoped, for ever. And what a century of repose followed ! A century, too, of more than repose—of gradual improvement in all ecclesiastical, and at last in all religiou., concerns —a century in which Parliament did more for the Church than it did between the Reformation and the silencing of Convocation—a century free from the agitation of organic and revolutionary discussions ; a century marked by wiser and better and holier feelings on the part of all sociey. And this we are to risk by again plunging into all the depths of ecclesi astical polemies ; in the name, and under the pretence of religious liberty, we are again to risk disturbing society in its most susceptible feelings and in its pro foundest recesses ; for the sake of a little popularity to a bad Administration, we are again to be exposed to all the dangers of that most dangerous of all human assemblies—an Assembly of Priests. But it is impossible now simply to revive the Con vocation that was silenced in 1719. To all the evils of the past (modified a little perhaps by the refine ments of modern manners) we should to have to add the worst evils of the present; we should have to add conflicts of our own, theories of our own, designs of our own times; worse than all, the jesuitry of our clergy. To restore Convocation now is to provide a battle-field for the two armed and exasperated parties that as yet strive and struggle for mastery apart in the Church of England —an arena round which the anxious hopes and the fears of thousands would assem ble and crowd—an amphitheatre whereon to hold an ecclesiastical bull fight. And when victory shall have declared for one side, where then would be the Church of England ? Rent, torn, and divided, a separation and secession would be inevitable. Out would march the worsted and the defeated party, leaving the spoils to the conquerors, but carrying away with them that spirit of comprehension which was the glory and the strength of the Church. To suppose that talking in Convocation can heal the sores of the Church is to set at naught all expe rience, and to overlook all present occurrences. Men's minds are now embittered and exasperated after a decade of ecclesiastical polemics ; parties are more distinctly formed and organised than ever; discussion and controversy, instead of reconciling and nearing their views, and opinions, and designs, have widened and deepened and made them irreconcileable ; the Church is now occupied by the claims of authority and the principle of religious freedom; and their contention could not for an hour be restrained in Con vocation. Now, this conflict is, to all human ap pearances, quite endless; and it is at the bottom of all ecclesiastical disputes. It may occasionally flag ; but only to burst out unexpectedly with greater vehemence than ever. Confined to discussion it is harmful enough; but provided with opportunity for practical measures, as it would be by Convocation, it would be more than harmful—it would become dan gerous to the peace of the community. When eccle siastical authority becomes, as it soon would, predo minant therein, it would again, as it always has, get into a conflict with the State or the civil power. If the State succumbed, we should have a new power in England ; if Convocation gave way the Church would suffer by the failure of its supposed organ. Convocation is unnecessary, for Parliament is now the only council from which the people of England will accept legislation of any kind; it is unsought fur by the great bulk of the clergy and the Christian laity, for they recognize the subordination of the Church to Parliament; and it is dangerous, because it is demanded only by those who seek to elevate the Church at the expense of the State, a nd who place the claims of unmeaning authority and tradition above the rights of reason, the light of Revelation, and the obligations of civil obedience. To the subjects of this realm it would be mischievous, to the Crown hurtful as allying it with ecclesiastical ambition, and to the Church ruinous as connecting it with prin ciples incompatible with the general welfare. If, then, the Earl of Derby has given any such advice to Queen Victoria, a responsibility far heavier than that of party will be upon him. (From the Morning Advertiser.) It is now exactly twelve days since we announced, in the most prominent manner, and the most em phatic term!, that Lord Derby had agreed, on the urgent solicitations of the Tractarian party, to advise Her Majesty to give her sanction to the restoration of Convocation. The opening of the article in which w e made this announcement was as follows :—" We know not that we have made for a long time past a more important announcement than that which we are now about to make. We are assured, from a source in which we repose every reliance, that Lord Derby has actually so far listened to the earnest and persevering solicitations of the Tractarians, as to give A promise that he will advise Her Majesty to sanction the restoration . of Convocation. We s hould have thopght the otAtement unworthy of credit had it come [PRIC E SD. to us from an ordinary quarter; but knowing whence it reaches us, we repose implicit faith in it. Whether the Noble Lord may yet be driven from his purpose, and feel compelled, from the pressure which we k now is in store for him, to recal his word, is another mat ter. We should not think it likely that he will. W e have said from the first, that he is fairly in the hands of the Roinanishing party in the Anglican Church, and once completely in their meshes, he will find it no easy matter to extricate himself, even were he so disposed : " There was something so startling, so astounding in the idea, that after the lapse of nearly a century and a half; any Minister could be found to counsel the Sovereign to give her sanction to the revival of a body which had, in the seventeenth century, acted in the manner in which the Convocation of that Pe • lied did, that our announcement was everywhere received with incredulity. On the very day of the appearance of our article, a weekly journal of high character, and which devotes much of its space to ec clesiastical matters, ventured to express its utter dis belief in our statement. Afterwards came the Morn ing Herald, treating the idea as absurd, and denying by implication that Lord Derby had ever enter tained the notion, even for a moment. As the latter journal is understood to be the morning organ of the Ministry, it was presumed to speak with the voice of authority. It was consequently assumed by those who were not, like ourselves, behind the ecclesiastical scenes, that we must have been misinformed in what we communicated respecting the meeting of Convo cation. That conviction will prevail no longer. The article in yesterday's Times, which we transfer to our columns to-day, sets the matter at rest. Convoca tion is to be restored, and the information which we gave so specifically, and so explicitly, twelve days before any of our contemporaries had a word on the subject, is now confirmed to the letter. We might here, with much propriety, pause for a moment for the purpose of stating parenthetically, that the same matinal organ of the Derby Govern ment thought proper the other day to throw dis credit on another statement which we made,—namely, that Mr. Disraeli himself had, a few days previously, admitted to a friend, that he had great doubts whe ther the Ministry, of which he is so prominent a member, will be in existence four weeks after the meeting of Parliament. We repeat, that the source whence we derived our information leaves us no room to doubt that the Right Honourable Gentleman did make such admission. What is more, Mr. Dis raeli's anticipations of the early dissolution of the Derby Cabinet, are in a fair way of being realized. But this much by the way. With regard to the revival of Convocation, it is precisely the course which the enemies of the Anglican Church would like to see pursued. A more effectual expedient for precipitating the destruction of that Church could not be devised. We have always said that the greatest enemies of the Episcopal Establishment were to be found within its own pale. We are about to witness such a verification of our words as will leave no doubt of the advised manner in which we spoke. The Dissenters have laboured zealously and unceasingly for a long series of years to under mine the foundations of the great ecclesiastical fabric but their success has by no means corresponded with the earnestness and assiduity of their efforts. They will now get the work done to their hands. And we need not add, that they will not concern themselves as to the particular instrumentality by which the event is brought about, provided they only see the wished-for consummation effected. We need not repeat that the movement in favour of restoring what is oalled the Church's Synodical action, originated with the Puseyite party alone, and that it has been supported solely by the semi- Popish section of the clergy. One of the first acts of the Convocation will be to reverse the decision of the law courts in the memorable Gorham case, and to adopt resolutions which will compel every honest, conscientious clergyman and layman of the Evan gelical school to secede from the Church. This is no mere conjecture of ours as to the course which the Tractarian party will pursue in Convocation. From the same source whence we derived our infor mation of the momentous fact that Lord Derby had acquiesced in the wishes of the Puseyites, that he should advise her Mjesty to give her consent to the restoration of Convocation, we received no less specific and credible information as to the line of action which that body, consisting, as it will do, exclusively of the Tractarian party, will adopt. What the effect on the Church will be, of all the evangelical clergy being compelled to secede, or, in other words, being ejected, will be comprehended, when we mention that the evangelical, or low Church clergy, number from 3,000 to 4,000. With them, we need not add, some myriads of the laity will go out, and these consisting of the most pious and zaal ous men within the pale of the Establishment. What the Church will be after a change of this nature, we leave our readers to imagine. If the Church has been for some time past in a most criti cal condition, in consequence of the prevalence of Popery, under the name of Pueeyism, in her pulpits, it will indeed be passing strange should she survive the loss of those laborious, pious, and faithful men who have hitherto been regarded as the life and soul of the Anglican Establishment. But though Lord Derby has determined, acting, as we know he does, under the inspiration of Samuel of Oxford, to accede to the wishes of the semi-Popish party in the Church for the revival of Convocation, we are not to forget that the measure has still to be carried. Before it has become law there will, we presume, be something to say on the subject in the House of Commons. If the Legislature allow Lord Derby to advise the Queen to give her sanction to the revival of Convocation for the transaction of business, it will betray the trust which the country reposes in it. We could not conceive of anything more damaging to the character of the new House of Commons, than its silence and inaction when so important a step is about to be taken on his own re ponsibility. But that cannot be. The new House of Commons will not thus, in the very infancy of its existence, forfeit the confidence of the country. Par liament will speak. It will interpose, and say, in peremptory terms, that such things shall not be. If such a measure were to be sanctioned, and the Church were to re-acquire the power which she possessed a century and a half ago, the country may depend on it that ere long the Church will domineer with e high hand over the State—in which case the people of these realms will, before many years have elapsed, be subject to the most intolerable priestly despotism which ever cursed a civilized country. ( From the Chronicle,) The two events which most concern the Church a the present moment are—the promised, or threatened, Royal Commission for inquiring into the Cathedral Chapters, and the ensuing meeting of Convocation. The Royal Commission we have treated in a spirit of fairness. We have acknowledged the neglects and defects of the Capitular establishments. We have exposed individual abuses and misappropriations of funds ; and we have not denied the right of the Crown to interfere in this as in all other breaches of corporate trust. The supreme authority, even in heathen countries, is bound to see that right and jus tice is done—i. e., to compel official persons to dis charge their Ministry. It is in this sense, and in this only, that we have accepted the Commis sion ; but we have accepted it with a very material reservation. We view the Commission as an instrument and means for taking evidence, but as little more. We have never said one word as to the fitness of such a body to act in any higher capa city ; and a distinction ought always to be bornei in mind between evidence taken before commissioners, and the recommendations which they may offer. The former can scarcely fail of having some value ; but the latter depend on th e qualifications,temz i. r, experience, knowledge, and principles vidual commissio ne r s . A s to this particular of the rticular ICom mission, we have already said that its especial field of inquiry is already t o l era bl y ex h aus ted. We know as much about the origin of Chapters, their original purpose, and their capacities for reconstruction as most commissioners do. The public has little on these heads to learn. It was not., therefore, from any expectation of remarkable results from their labours that we acquiesced in the issuing of the Commission. Its intrinsic value was as a formal, distinct recognition on the part of the State, as the impersonation of law, that there was a wrong. Its practical value we detected in the circumstance that its proceedings would be a solemn and elaborate mode of taking arid collecting evidence. But at the same time, we have always contended that its recommendations could not be final, an d pos. sibly mightbe very objectionable. We have argued that the Much ought to be consulted, in its corpo• rate capacity, upon the reconstruction of Chapters. The Church might a cce p t the evid ence taken by the Royal Commission, as the groundwork of future le gislation, but the Church cannot longer submit to any merely e xtrinsic remod elling. The value of the Commission is its ministerial functions. 'We never accepted it as a legislative organ. Parallel to our a dhesion to the Commission was our claim for the co-ordinate action of Cony c onvenient mode of t a ki ng evidence,ocation But, even as a it is obvious that the value of a Commission must mainly depend upon its COUStitUti° ll . It is possible, therefore, that, after all, we must be prepared to withdraw our adhe sion, for the constitution of that which is about to issue may inske it antecedently untrust / worthy. We have no objection to the . Commis- Sion because it is to b e a mi x ed one, in equal proportions of clergy and laity. Far from it. But the clergy and laity may be so selected as to make confidence impossible. We do not mean that indi viduals of a single party are at all likely to be nomi nated; but there may be a pr e li m i na ry blunder in fixing upon the classes from which Commissioners are to be selected, which may make the whole thing powerless for good. Unless we are seriously misin formed, the clerical members of the Commission are to consist exclusively of dignitaries—of bishops and memb ers o f Ch apters . N ow we are not de sirous to say an offensive thing, but these are the very parties now inculpat e d a t th e b ar o f pu bli c opinion. To issue a Commission, addressed only n to ita d r l ies gn , itaries, t o i nqu i re i nto t h e d o i ngs of dig.- is just as wise as t o se t th e C ourt o f Al dermen inq uir i ng i nto the abuses of the corpo ration of London. The charge, more or less, !tgaiust the bish o p s , i s t h at of nepotism in bestow ing capitular app o i n t ments —the charge against the Chapters is idleness and abuse of trust. The vice detected in the whole thing is, that bishops, and deans, and canons are a p po i nted from secular' and political motives—the abuse complained of is that the wrong men get the places of honour, dignity, profit, and what ought to be usefuln ess . N ow, is it very likely that bishops, deans, and canons will pro• test very energetically against the system which has made them bishops, deans, and canons ? or t h at they will suggest practical reforms, the very ventilation of which will be the strongest censure on themselves ? A Cathedral Commission—as far as its clerical ele ments go, to consist exclusively of cathedral men_ is, we must say, little short of a mockery. No com mission will attract or receive the confidence of the Church from which what are superciliously termed the inferior clergy are excluded. A Cathedral Chapter is the common property of the whole collective dio cese; and every pari s h, th ere f ore , an d eve ry parochial minister, is interested in its efficiency. Of the pos sible utility of a Chapter the non-capitular clergy are infinitely the better judges than bishops and deans. Of what a diocese wants, of what it consists, and of its ugly places, bishops are probably more ignorant than most clergy in the diocese. A bishop is so surrounded by chaplains and adu lation, and by clergy who find it their in terest only to proclaim their successes, that he is absolutely incapacitated—though perhaps possessed of the best intentions—from knowing the real state of Christianity among his people. And, as to the canons —even giving them credit for better intentions than they possess—their position must bias their judgment when they come to sit in judgment on themselves, and on the system which has installed them. Still, we do not make it a charge of wilful bad faith against the Government that they have made so serious a blunder in the constitution of this Commission. If, however, from the clerical half all the inferior clergy are to be excluded, and if the laymen are to be of the Goulburn and Inglis school, then we must say that this Cathedral Commission, whether intentionally or not, will be a mere delusion. Yet, the blame of its ill-judged composition is not, per haps, to be attributed entirely to the Government. Lord Derby, on such a matter, is reasonably governed by episcopal advice; and we can well understand how the late Cathedral Commissioners have such confi dence in the remarkable success which attended their last R-port as to endure no inffusion of fresh blood into their dignified conclave. We say that we relieve the Government from at least some portion of this responsibility, because in the matter of Convocation they have, according to report, certainly shown a just appreciation of their own duty, and of the state of public feeling. In well-informed quarters, it has, for some little time, been tolerably well understood, and it is now asserted by hostile authorities, that Lord Derby is prepared to advise, or has already advised, the Crown to issue its licence to the new Convocation to resume its synodical functions. For ourselves, without arguing too much or too little for the practi cal results of this single concession, and without pledging ourselves yet to the truth of the report, we can well afford to be thankful that the great principle for which, through so much obloquy and difficulty, we have contended, is, so we are told, at length sur rendered—or rather, we will say, a d m itt e d—i n a quarter so influential. Be the report premature or not, its announcement in this way is a gain not a little substantial. ) rf/-1/ FRAGMENTS FROM THE MOUNTAINS. Two Vols. Vol. I. A.

This (Monday) afternoon the doors of the Free Pub lic L ibrary and Museum were thrown open to the in habitants of Liverpool ; the ceremony of inauguration having taken place in thi forenoon, at which Thomas Littledale, Esq., Mayor ; William Brown, Esq., M.P.; Thomas Thornely, Esq., M.P.; and Charles Turner, Esq., M.P., were present, and took part in the proceed ings. At eleven o'clock a procession, consisting of the mayor, alderman, and town councillors. started from the Town-hall through Castle-street, Lord-street, Church street, and Bold-street, to the new library in Slater street; on arriving, at which, Mr. Councillor Picton, chairman of the library committee, met the civic autho rities, and conducted them through the building. After a brief inspection of the library, reading room, and musenm. the distinguished company returned to the large hall of the institution, where The MAYOR addressed the meeting in a neat speech, congratulating his fell° w-towesmsn on the auspicious opining of this instittt )u upon St. Luke's Day—a day which, in the annals of Liverpool, was rendered memor able for the contests which were carried on in the elec• tion of Chief Magistrate, but which would be rendered far more glorious in the future annals of the town as the day on which a Free Public Library and Museum was opened to the whole of the inhabitants. (Cheers.) Mr. Picrorr, who was loudly applauded, gave an elo quent description of the commencement, progress, and completion of the undertaking. An association had been formed by the Town Council, with power to raise funds to be appropriated in the purchase of books. From this association they have received 1,3891. 2s. 10d. and the library at present contains 10,000 volumes. Many valuable books have been presented by the Liver- pool Library, the oldest literary institution in the town; and the Dramatic Society have devoted the proceeds of a public performance at the Theatre Royal to the pur chase of books. In the course of the present year, the committee intended to add 4,000 more volumes to the library; about 3001. remains in hand, 5,7441. bad been expended; making more than 6,0001. which had been contributed to the funds of the association, of which Mr. T. B. Horsfall was the chairman. (Cheers.) By the recent act, the Council had power to levy a rate of a penny in the pound for the support of the Free Library, the Derby Museum, and the Zoological Gardens, and he (Mr. Picton) was sure that if it was found necessary to levy the rate it would be cheerfully p aid.. (Applause.) Let Manchester, therefore, look to her laurels ; for Liverpool would yet be at the head of every provincial town in institutions of this nature. (Protracted cheering.) Mr. W. Brown, M.P., next a ddressed the meeting. He was happy to see the honourable rivalry betw een Liverpool and Manchester in i nstitutions of this kind, and heartily wished success to all such efforts. Mr. Chas. Turner, M.P., then briefly addressed the meeting, and was followed by Thomas Thornely, Esq., M.P., the Rim Dr. Hume, Mr. Samuel Holme, Joseph Pollock, Esq. (Judge of the Liverpool County Court), and other speakers. After which a vote of thanks was passed to the Mayor ; also to Mr. Picton and the com mittee ; and the initiatory proceedings terminated.

Our readers will easily understand that it is in accordance both with our principles and our interests that the press of this country . should b e as f ree as possible. W e , th e r e fore, see wi th a degree of plea sure the remarks which our contemporaries bestow upon our opinions and our political friends, however opposed these remarks may be t o ou r own views and opinions. Let them censure the Government and their measur es ; we consider it beneficial for these and for the country; but when . freedom is abused, as it has been lately by the T i mes, by a deliberate statement of positive fictions, we are hound t o con f ess , that, however talented the writers in that journal may be, they bring, by such statements, a heavy burden of obloquy upon their professicn. Two months ago the Times did not scruple to spread alarm among our North American colonies, by authoritatively declaring that the Government had yielded all the privileges of oar fisheries t o the United States. The effects of this untruth the Times cared little fur if the Government only in curred a temporary and unmerited odium. The Legislative bodies met, and by the spirit they showed have only proved that the Government at home had fully appreciated their feelings when they resisted, and successfully resisted. the American encroachments, refusing to yield ani right excepting for an equivalent from America. Yesterday the Times out-Herodi itself, and the statement to which its leader is attached is even more preposterously untrue than the former one t o w hich we have alluded. Lord Derby's Government is "to advise her Majesty to allow the House of Convocation to sit for the dispatch of business, &c.":— " A report has reached us, which is not, we believe, Iwithout foundation, that Lord Derby an d h i s colleagues have resolved to advise her Majesty to permit the House of Convocation to sit for the dispa'ch of business, and that the Royal licence will consequently be issued, em powering those ecclesiastical assemblies to enter upon .~ ~~ . ~" ~. i~~ RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. Parson, the solicitor of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Company, who were the promoters of the intended line, had attended for the purpose of explaining the views of the projectors. Mr. Parsons explained that the new line would com mence by a junction with the Oxford, W orcester, an d Wolverhampton Railway, at Wolverhampton. near Ox lord, proceeding through Wheatley and Thome, to near Prince's Risborough (where a brunch will diverge to the county town of Aylesbury), snd thence through Wycombe, Fulmer, Uxbridge, and Harwell, to tho Hounslow brunch of the London and South-Western Railway at Brentford, communicating with the station at Nine Elms and Waterloo Biidge. Resolutions were paned in favour of the proposed railway, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the noble chairman.

IMPORTANT RAILWAY DECISION.—In the B herier. , la Small Debt Court, Gla s g ow, on Thursday, a decision of great importance to railway travellers and the public generally was pronounced by Mr. Sheriff Bell. I t was in a case at the insatnoe of Robert Dunlop, Esq wri ter, st the-Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Glasgow, against ow for damages, sustained throughg Company , detention from business on the morning of Saturday, the I°ll 24th of September. Mr. Dunlop, who resides in Campsie, had been, along with the the pariah of other d e tained at the Milton station, C a passengers, ea ra ilway, on that morning, for aboutpsie branch, of th e t h e train from CamPsie i whi c h sh an hou r an d a half,l have reach e d th e after Milton station five m i nutes aft ' 3 111 having arrived till about halt-pastnine o'clock a.m., not railway company were moat ably ten o'clock.

Af ter ev idence had b n laid, the parties were fully heard, the sheriff sumnicd up stating that the first plea urged in defence could not b sustained, the delay having been occasioned by the breaking down of the only engine used on the branch, and which the defender' engine-driver admitted had recently undergone repair, having, in fact, only 1 , ft the workshop the day before, amid the repairs as testified by the break-down the following morning, an d also by the engine driver himself, must have been im perfectly made by the servants of the company, for whom they were undoubtedly responsible ; and also to the second plea, that it was quite true the stipulation urged was expressed in the time bills, but no such stipulation could shelter the coinNtlY in all circumstances from their responsibility as public carriers, and it certianly could not be giving effect to it in the present ease, where the cause of the delay, and of their contract with the public not being implemented, was the deficiency of their own engine.
