Address to Dr. Newman. Dr. Newman's contemplated mission to Oxford having given rise to some criticisms upon him in the Weekly Register, to the effect that he had forfeited the high place he once held in the Roman Catholic world, owing to a sermon be recently delivered on the temporal power of the Pope, and to some hete rodox passages in the . Apologia, a number of Roman Catholics assembled at the Stafford Club on Tues last and showed their attachment to him by signing the following address, which was conveyed to him by Mr. Monsell, M.P. " To the Very Rev. John Henry Newman, D.D. " We, the undersigned, have been deeply pained at some anonymous attacks which have been made upon you. They may be of little importance in themselves, but we feel that any blow that touches you inflicts a wound upon the Ca tholic Church in this country. We hope, therefore, that you will not think it presumptuous in us to express our gratitude for all we owe you, and to assure you how heartily we appreciate the services which, under God, you have been the means of rendering to our holy religion."

" The Right lion. William Alonsell, Hunting the Wild Red Deer in Devon and Somerset. (From the Tiverton Gazette.) Two private meets of the Devon and Somerset stag bounds have taken place in the past week—the first on Tuesday, the last on Friday—and both were attended with brilliant success. Mr. Bissett, the worthy master of the pack , is supposed personally to have an objection to hind hunting in the spring, partly from the usually poor condition of the deer, especially after a long and severe winter, and because of the extreme difficulty of finding " yelds," barren hinds. This spring, however, the temp tation for hind hunting has been very strong, owing to the enormous increase of the wild door, which may readily be imagined from the fact that a herd of no less than 37, be sides stragglers, has been seen under Cloutsham since Christ mas, and several other herds of from 12 to 17 have been re cently seen about Old Dunkerry and in the Dulverton covers, still we believe the master has resolved not to hunt before the stag hunting season arrives, which is immediately after the " glorious twelfth," and he has only yielded on two occasions to solicitations of a number of gentlemen for a change of sport, amongst whom is the Earl of Portsmouth, who is on a visit at Pixton Park, the seat of his brother-in law, the Earl of CarnarVon, to hunt foxed. The first meet was on Tuesday, at Haddon, but unfortunately for that prince of sportsmen—the Earl of Portsmouth —he was unable to be present, owing to the prior engagement to attend the Devon Quarter Sessions, at Exeter; still there was a very good field, mostly consisting of sportsmen of the right sort. The pack, in charge of Jack Babbage, the veteran huntsman, and his clever whip, Arthur Heal, was put up at the quarters of Jim Blackmore, the noted harbourer, who said there were lots of deer in. the covers. Three couple of tufters were then taken to draw Haddon Wood, and there they found so many deer that there was a good deal of time spent in running about the covers before they could got a hind away. At length a fine hind, supposed to be a barrener, broke cover, and made away amidst the excitement of the field for Buckley; and there the tufters were stopped by Arthur Heal. The master, apparently not anxious to kill, was not in much of a hurry to lay on. After a while he sent Babbage for the pack, and laid on the hounds about three-quarters of an hour after the deer had disappeared. The hounds went away at a good pace to Morebath, turned to the right to Ashtown, and made across the farm to Mr. Gooding (a gallant old stag hunter), called Grant's farm, Exbridge, thence to Wonham, the property of the lord of the manor of Bampton, and pointed for Oakford. How ever, they turned to the right to Exe Water, crossing to some covers (understood to be Haightley), then across a farm and over the water ; thence away across East Tops farm, and on to the Red Deer in Oakford parish. From this point they crossed Tuckers Moor on to Knowstone ; leaving Knowstone a little distance to the left they made straight through the covers, and then on to Rose Ash Moor, where the hounds were stopped, after a splendid run of three, hours and 40 minutes. The Rev. W. Russell, one of the oldest and most esteemed sportsmen and followers of these hounds, pronounced his opinion that for the first time in a season he had never found the pack work better. Others also spoke in the highest terms of the splendid way in which the hounds had worked that day, although they did not gain a sight of the deer throughout the run, she having got an hour's start of them. The meet on Friday was at Marsh Bridge, and a good field assembled, includ ing the master and his right hand, Mr. Bellew, the Earl of Portsmouth, the Rev. Wm. Russell, and many other good and true sportsmen. The scent, unlike that of Tuesday, which was not very good, owing to the high anddry wind, was considered fair. Arthur, the whip, took three and a half couple of tufters and drew Marsh Wood under North moor-house, the seat of J. Arthur Locke, Esq., then Dray ton-wood, and across the water to Durham, where they found a largo stag and a young male deer. Arthur quickly stopped the tufters, and took them back to draw the covers the for a hind, and soon no less than five doer, mostly hinds, awsktobprpidegdebythe master in Ashway Ridge, closely followed by h were found. Two of them , a hind 'and a young male deer, e went across tufters, which Flat. There the pack was laid on upon the two, and r a n them through Ashway Flat, and across the wate r t o N or th t o were li Barton Wood, where both deer jumped up in view of the field, and dashed away through the wood, turning to the left to the Exe, and then through the covers on the north side of Hawkridge Ridge, and again turning to the left of the water, which they crossed towards Mountsey Castle, and made away through Marsh Wood. There the pack divided, the largest number of hounds taking after the young deer down the stream to a place where a few cot tages stand, called "New Invention," close to the water side; there he got out of the water to the right, pointing for Northmoor House, near which the hounds fresh found or ran up to him. He then returned to the water in view closely pursued by the hounds, causing much excitement to a few spectators. Arthur Heal here discovered that it was the young male deer, and immediately tried to stop the hounds ; but this was a work of some difficulty, as but few of the field were present, the majority being with the other part of the pack in pursuit of the hind. Fortunately Mr. Locke, the squire of Northmoor, was on the Northmoor ' side of the water, and Mr. Bellew on the other, whose strenuous exertions, with the aid of Mr. Hopper and a stableman belonging to Mr. Locke, finally succeeded in saving the deer. The stableman went into the water to his waist, and there he stood bravely driving back the hounds. Mr. Hopper also wont into the water, and greatly assisted in the saving of the deer, which Mr. Locke staid to watch till ho had seen him get fairly away into the neighbouring cover. The whip then took the hounds to join the smaller part - of the pack, consisting of four couples, at Court Down, where they took after the hind, to lay them on to the same. By the time he had got to the down, Mr. Bisset, the master, had stopped the four couple, and the full pack was laid on in the presence of the whole field, which had by this time got together. The pack crossed to Exe Cleave, and went down the Bark close under Baron's Down, and crossed the water in front of the house, thence across Saddle Back, on to Clamour and up Haddon Wood, where they turned to the right to Burridge Wood, and kept bearing to the right till they reached Bury Water ; after they got out of the water they went up overßurridge Wood to Whynne, or Wind, Corner, where a number of fresh deer jumped up. As soon as other deer were "roused" the pack was stopped. The object of the meet was not to kill, or by laying on the pack at the proper time they could have easily done that. The sport was remarkably good, and the pack worked as on Tuesday, to the admiration of all present. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, April 16.—There is no improve ment in the market, generally, and prices continue to decline. In yarns for shipment the market has been disappointing. In the early part of the day spinners expected to be able to obtain full prices, having been led to form such a conclusion from the activity during Saturday and Monday in the Liver pool cotton market. Upon the receipt of telegrams from Liverpool, however, this morning, any su c h hopes were dispelled by the intelligence of a quieter and weaker feeling there. Buyers for Calcutta and China have operated to a fair extent. Other mar kets have been rather quieter than these. The market for home-trade yarns has presented quite a "contrast to the other, being both dull and depressed. Prices have been in favour of buyers, and the busi ness effected has been a long way short of an aver age. The demand for all counts of home trade yarns has been on a very restricted scale, and closes as dull as it opened. In cloth there has been a down ward movement all the week past. Buyers have been exceedingly cautious, and have limited their operations as much as possible. There have been buyers willing to enter the market at a very consi derable reduction on last week's quotations, but as a rule they have not been able to place their orders on such conditions. This morning there: was some appearance of a revival in the tone of the market in the first instance, but the hope was soon dissi pated, and in the course of the day things have re verted to the inactivity and depression previously existing. The market closes without much business having been effected, though sellers have made con siderable alterations in favour of buyers in their quotations as compared with those of last Tuesday. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of to-day's cloth market :—" We have had an important de cline both in price and amount of businesss since last Tuesday ; the general mistrust among buyers renders business almost impossible except at a still further reductton. Though there is to-day some slight improvement in the general tone of. our market, it does not amount either to a rally in price or an increase of business, and we close flatly with materially altered quotations." LEEDS, 16th.—There is no decided change in any aspect of the woollen cloth trade, as indicated by the public markets this morning. The same quiet order of things seems to exist as we have had to point out for some time past: The attendance of buyers was moderate, and it included a few from Bradford, Manchester, and other towns, as well as those repre senting the Leeds houses. There was, however, only a small amount of goods cleared out of the halls after the markets, and the selections made were miscellaneous, including part heavy as well as light goods, with a fair portion of ordinary all-wool black cloths. The call for black unions is but small at present, various shades in mixtures having, as . a rule, the best chance of sell ing as coatings. There is no improvement as to work by the manufacturers, and part short time working is reported from mills in the town, as well as those in the surrounding districts. Except as to needy manufacturers, and what are called job lots, prices keep steady. Wools and woollen yarns, too, are about the same as last week. ROCIIDALE, 15th.—There was a slight improve ment in the flannel trade to-day. There was not a much larger attendance of buyers than last week, but there was a better demand for goods, and the feeling in the trade generally was more cheerful. The chief sales were those of light goods, and a fair bulk were bought. For Yorkshire goods there was the same kind of quiet demand as we have had to notice for the last few months. There is no great demand for wools, but prices keep steady, as do also those of goods. MANUFACTURERS OF THE VICTORIA CROSS. ,Z.A.tIRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.

" No money taken at the doors, The London Tailors. Last Tuesday a letter was sent by the committee of the London Masters Tailors' Association to the operatives' committee, declining to proceed any fur ther with the united committees of the London and Amalgamated Societies, in the drawing up of a time i o nf fromg t n he their h s e o i rf Amalgamated LondonprovincialemployersSociety obrethren ,cet to :n t dt r t e et Manchester,f o with llow the ing ltthi log for the whole country, but expressing the Lon donwill- men alone.

Sir,—Your letter of the 9th inst. has been fully considered by us, and the new position taken 'up by your committee is a complete departure from the arrangement come to for the settlement of the universal time log. We have therefore to request an answer by Tuesday morning, the 16th, to the following:—..Whether you are prepared to carry on the negotiations for the time log on the same basis as that you originally ac cepted, viz., by the united committees, or whether you are prepared to accept the log of which we fur nish you a copy. If you cannot fairly arrange the matter we shall have no alternative but to enforce the log now sent in.—Yours obediently, M. LAW RENCE, Secretary of the Tailors' Association.—To Mr. Goodwin." The committee and delegates of the men met yesterday at the Green Dragon, Soho, for the purpose of receiving the reply of the employers to the above, and deciding on the necessary steps to be taken. The following letter was read by the secretary :—" April 16. Sir,—ln reference to your letter of the 13th, we have to say that we are as sin cerely desirous as yourselves for the arrangement of a time log likely to end the present unsettled state of affairs. We have already expressed our decided opinion that this cannot be brought about between ourselves and a mixed committee of London and country workmen, it being plain to us that the latter can only negotiate on the basis of the amalgamated time log, and equally plain that nothing of the kind will be accepted or acted upon by the London trade, except upon compulsion. We regret that our refusal to attempt what we hold to be an im possibility is likely to lead to an antagonism we would gladly have avoided. We must lead you to judge for yourselves of the course you propose to take.—Yours truly, J. GOODWIN, Secretary of the Masters' Committee.—To Mr. M. Lawrence." A long discussion ensued, Etna it was resolved that a circular be at once sent to the employers contain ing the new time-log, with a request that those willing to pay by that log should send in a reply by Saturday next. The firms not replying in the affirmative will be struck on Monday morning next, on which day an aggregate meeting of the trade is to be held at the Alhambra Palace, Leicester-square. A levy of 2s. per man per week was ordered through out the country to meet the expenses of the struggle. The number of men that will turn out on strike will, of course, depend on the replies to the above circular, but it is expected not to exceed 2,000. The two delegates sent over to Paris by the London men returned home on Monddy evening. They report the strike of the journeymen tailors in that city as progressing most favourably. About 60 large employers have given way during the past week, and of the 15,000 men who struck fully 5,000 have resumed work at the advanced rate of wages. • , C-,,.. /r PRICIe 4d. STAMPED sd. The StrUe of the Engine-Drivers en the Noah Easteriilway. The strike still continues, and the railway com pany are every day getting more confidence that they will soon be able to supply the places of the malcontents. The men boast of the ample support they are receiving, which they say is cheerfully given. Communications promising them aid come in from all quarters. The following is a copy of an important notice sent by the Midland delegates to one of the chief officers of the Midland Company : " We have been requested by the Midland tneu, and enginemen and firemen of other companies, to ask if you or the Board of Directors are aware that Mr. is using his best endeavours to supply the North-Eastern Company with engine and firemen ; and positive cases have come under our notice of his success off the Midland. Also, in every shape and way, we hear he is assisting them to get through this unhappy disaster—which they have by tyranny and oppression brought down upon themselves. If this course of action is not at once withdrawn, .we cannot answer for the Midland enginemen or firemen, who will positively join the great body of our own calling throughout the coun try, and by a united movement (the precise character of which is now under contemplation) bring this unhappy and unfair struggle to a close." The Leeds Branch Society has received an inti mation that the following circular has been sent all over the country by the committee of the Engine drivers and Firemen's United Society : " 13, Brydges-street, Strand, W.C., April 15. "Dear Sir,—ln order to sustain the North- Eastern men during their present struggle, the Central Committee have decided that a general weekly levy be made of 3s. upon each driver, and 2s. upon each fireman. You will therefore please to call a meeting of your branch immediately, and take steps to carry the resolution of the Central Committee into effect.—l am, &c., " J. OSBORNE PUTLEY, General Secretary, pro T. Taylor." _ _ The great event of yesterday was the hearing be fore the Leeds magistrates of the charge of leaving work without notice, preferred on Monday and ad journed until yesterday. At twelve o'clock the in vestigation began in a crowded court, and before several magistrates who attended specially for the purpoie. Mr. Ferns, solicitor for the cOmplainants, opened the case at some length ; and Mr. Roberts, ' of Manchester, appeared for the defendants. The case of a• driver, named John Binns, was taken first. He had on Wednesday last been driving between Leeds and Ilkley, and during the day he returned . to Leeds, pulled the fire out of his engine, and left it useless. Mr. Ferns said that Binns on being remonstrated with by Mr. John stone, the locomotive superintendent, mid that he did not intend to work any more, that he was a union man, and must do as the union directed, and that as they were out he should be out too. Mr. .Johnstone asked him if he had any complaint to make, and he said " No, but they have at Darlington ; faith has not been kept with the men there." The defendant had been in the service of the company since 1849. At that time his wages were 2s. Gd., and now they are something like 7s. a day. Mr. Johnstone, Mr. Ferns said, would prove the hiring, and, in fact, it could scarcely be disputed with re spect to a man who had been employed since 1849. The agreement was a verbal one, and being for a month's and not for a twelvemonth's notice, no writ ing or stamp was required. The defendant's admis sion that such were the terms would be proved. The ninth general regulation was to the effect that no servant be allowed to absent himself from any duty without permission from his superior officer, nor quit the service of the company except after giving the required notice; in case he quit without notice:his wages to be forfeited, and he be liable to be prosecuted for breach of con tract ; station-masters, engine -drivers, and fire men to give one mouth's notice, and other servants two weeks' notice. By leaving the service of the company, this man and the rest had entailed on the company immense injury, and given great annoy ance to the public. The company felt it their duty to defend their rights, as the men had a right to stand up for theirs. Recently the men bad conceded to them alterations of time and increased wages. There were met fairly, and were so well satisfied then that they entered the service again. But on Wednesday night last, at 12 o'clock, a number of them informed the superintendent that there was a conspiracy to stop the whole of the working of the line from point to point next morning, in order to drive the company into an acceptance of their terms, be they what they might. He must, however, do the men credit—he was bound to do it, and he had been requested to do it,—not a disrespectful word or gesture was used by any of the men towards Mr. Johnstone. Mr. Ferns then proceeded to call wit nesses. The first was— Mr. Johnstone, who proved that the terms agreed upon in 1849 were a month's notice on either side. He said when Binns told him he should work no more till they got the matter settled, he said he made himself liable to be sent to prison. Defendant to that replied, " There are so many of us, you can't send us all to prison." Cross-examined by Mr. Roberts, Mr. Johnstone said the men had not complained to him that they had worked 21 hours at a stretch. The defendant drove the Harrogate exprese. The men had never complained that they did not see their children from Sunday to Sunday. He never heard of such a grievance before the men struck. He had lately received a written document from Mr. Fletcher, one of the officials, which stipulated that the work should be 10 hours a day. He did not recollect that any special agreement was made in 1855. Mr. Hugill, on of the company's managers, pro duced a book which contained Binns' signature to the agreement he made in 1849. Mr. Roberts addressed the jury at great length, contending that the dispute was virtually at an end, for the men only wanted what other railway com panies had cheerfully granted. He contended that on various grounds the magistrates had no jurisdiction, and was proceeding to call witnesses to prove that the agreement with the Darlington men had been broken, when the court ruled that that would be irrelevant. The magistrates then retired, and after some time they decided that there had been a valid contract between the defendant and the North Eastern Com pany, and that the defendant had no reasonable cause for breaking it. They were of opinion that they had jurisdiction, and convicted the defendant of the offence. They reserved the punishment to follow, in the hope that the dispute would soon be at an end; and, in the hope that it would be a means of effecting a reconciliation, they adjourned this and all the other cases to the 22d May. There is no alteration in the position of affairs as regards the northern section of the railway. The managers are getting their traffic restored as rapidly as they can. Several of the drivers who turned out have applied to be set on again, but they have been absolutely refused until after a meeting of the direc tors on Wednesday. As they aresat present advised, the managers are disinclined to have any thing more to do with them. All the engine-drivers on strike at the Tyne Docks have received notice to quit their houses in a week. More goods trains were run yesterday, and there was an increase in the quantity of mine rals sent to the Tyne Docks and to the iron works on the Tees. THE FIRE BRIGADE ACT.—At the Session-house, Westminster, a number of persons wero summoned under the Fire Brigade Act, by the Metropolitan Board of Works, for fires occurring on their premises.

At Chamber • of Deputies, Signor Ratazzi made the following speech :—Gentlemen,—ln presenting ourselves be fore you we are deeply impressed with the gravity and difficulty of our position. Now that the in dependence of the nation is happily secured the time has arrived when we ought seriously and resolutely to occupy ourselves with our situation at home, and apply remedies to evils which cannot be attributed to any person's fault, but which are a necessary and inevitable consequence of the great events that have been crowded into the short period of a small number of years. We must provide the settlement of our finances and the reorganisation of the army. We ought to provide for them promptly, with a firm hand, and without any hesitation. Every delay would be fatal—any hesitation might compromise our future. Towards this object, gen tlemen, and to the part incumbent upon the Go vernment in this difficult tas4, our cares and our efforts will. be principally directed, and we shall be all the better able to devote ourselves to its execution, because, being free and independent of any sort of engagement abroad or at home, we may occupy ourselves exclusively with the necessity arising out of our domestic position. It is not my intention to explain to you now, in detail, all the measures the new administration in tends to introduce or to submit for your approval, in order to attain this object within the shortest possible delay. Such a detailed account can neither be prepared nor brought forward within a few hours. We are also of opinion it is better to act than to promise. We do not hesitate, however, to declare at once that in the measures we shall successively - propose, we shall take as a basis the rules laid down a few days ago in the august words uttered by his Majesty, and received by the nation with general satisfaction. We shall take note of the bills that were brought in during the preceding Parliament upon divers very important subjects, such as the system of public accounts, the organisation of the central administration, and the system of collecting of taxes; then, profiting by the profound and con scientious examination these measures have rela tively undergone in the bureaux and in committees, we shall hasten to bring them again beforo Parlia ment with suitable modifications. In proposing to you these latter, We shall keep essentially in view the object of simplifying administration, of better securing the collection of the taxes by rendering it still less expensive, and of more efficaciously guaran teeing the future of public officials, whose position appears to us the more deserving of being secured because we have now decided upon requiring from them the exact and strict accomplishment of tl:eir duties. Another bill, already prepared, and which will soon be laid before you, is that relating to the organisation of our army. It will be the more in dispensable and urgent that Parliament should hasten to take this bill into consideration, because upon its approval may depend not only the future and the strength of an institution which is no less a guarantee than a glory for our country, but also chiefly the means of determining how far shall be carried the reduction and savings to be introduced into mili tary estimates. For our part, we engage henceforth that in the examination and discussion of this bill we will introduce and admit all modifications calculated to render expenses less heavy, without compromis ing the efficiency of the army and the safety of the state. An administrative committee is considering the organisation of the provinces and communes. A bill will be laid beforo you upon this subject in the course of the session. I need not say that it will be inspired by principles of the widest decentralisation, and by the idea of giving the communes and pro vinces their full autonomy by emancipating them from all governmental interference, while subject ing them to legislative arrangements calculated to guarantee the interests of the governed from all abuse. The Government has already promised to bring in the budget for 1868 before the close of next month. We have firmly resolved loyally to keep this engage ment. As for the estimates for the current year, now under examination by a committee elected by your selves, while expressing upon our parts the most ardent wishes that it may terminate its labours as soon as possible, we feel confident that with regard to reforms it may deem opportune and may think of proposing, it will call us to its aid, in order that we may examine and discuss them together. Like the committee, we are imbued with the necessity of introducing the utmost and strictest economy, and we shall willingly consent to every saving reconcil able with the inevitable exigencies of the public ser vice. The debate upon the budget in Parliament may thus be made easier and more simple, and the rules. observed in that for the present year may be found applicable to the budget of 18G8. If it were possible to obtain the approval of the two bud gets almost simultaneously, a desire we have strongly at heart would be fulfilled, of the wish, namely, of at last entering upon the normal path, and of avoid ing the very serious inconveniences to which the ad ministration is subjected when it is compelled to operate with provisional budgets. The approval of the budgets alone will no doubt not be all that is re quired to meet our financial wants ; other measures are also indispensable. It is impossible for us to state these at present, but they will shortly be laid before you with the greatest care by the Govern ment. A prominent place among them will be occu pied by bills referring to the liquidation of ecclesias tical property, to a system of regularising the great public works guaranteed by the State, and to credit institutions—all objects of considerable importance intimately connected by essential conditions, a set tlement of which will impart an energetic impulse to the activity and economic prosperity of the coun try. The rapid picture I have just traced of the measures indispensable to us, and which ought to be sanctioned without delay, displays but too well all the difficulty of the undertaking for which we prepare. The consciousness of these difficulties might have caused us to hesitate, but their very exis tence strengthens us, and gives us courage in face of the hard trial we have to surmount. It strengthens us, because we are persuaded that in the presence of the needs of the nation, and when it is required to provide for the wants of the,country, all party differences will always vanish from among us, and our deli berations will be inspired by one sole and general thought--love and devotion to Italy. Therefore, gentlemen, we reckon for the accomplishment of this task upon your frank, loyal, and efficacious co operation. We feel confident that, thanks to your assistance, many difficulties will not fail to dis appear, and that we shall find it possible to attain the aim we have in view. We shall thus show Europe that the Italians not only know how to conquer their independence by constituting them selves a nation, but that they also understand how to preserve and consolidate it by providing for their organisation at home." - FIRE AT MANCIIESTEIL—An extensive cotton waste store, five stories high, in Primrose-street, Man chester, belonging to Mr. Whalley, was discovered to be on fire yesterday morning. The fire broke out in the third story, and before the lire brigade could extinguish it that and the floors above were destroyed. The stock altogether was valued at nearly £ 3,000, and the damage is estimated at £1.,500. By a minute of the 3d of April the Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned a change in the examina tion of the baggage of passengers arriving from the Continent, which it is hoped will much reduce the inconvenience, and at the same time preserve a sufficient protection to the interests of the revenue. On the arri val of the train in L ondon all the tliro ugh luggage having been sorted as usual, one of the sur veyors of customs will select, a certain_ proportion of the registered numbers , and the luggage thus indi cated will be alone examined, all the rest being per mitted to be removed at once.
