ARRIVAL OF TiiE CALEDONIA AND SOUTH AMERICA. A mass of very interesting news - fr • om the United States, to the 3d inst. inclusive, will b e found in another part of The Sun, The trial o f "M`LEon was fixed for the 4th i our impression is, that a furthernstant, but postpone ment would take place, in consequence of the absence of some of the principal witnesses in Canada. The arrest of Colonel GnoGAN was exc iting an extraordinary fermemt on the fro u tier. An account of the arrest was forwarded t o the Government at Washington. It was expected that the PRESIDENT would demand his release, which the British authorities would not refuse, when judicially satisfied that the arrest had been made within the United States' territory. Notwithstandin in, of the Tories, g them. the state of Ireland ratite ,- the boas[ : alarms Amongst the projects which have been lately the old plan of broached to smooth their tray, of the • ts stipendiaries making the Catholic pries ts . 3i I ,gy has State has Veen r ev i ve d. Lor d ALVA li (). of the published a pamp hl et, in which, sPea-- in he says : .vvtty to govern Ireland safety, should , " The first step to be taken for this purpo se lrish Roman be a measure for the payment of the , s would Catholic clergy ; the present state of the finances but I certai n l y h e - `"_ , uniavourable to such a proposition ; cre 1 then ecessity of the case is so urgent, and the advanta n ; to be gained 'lid"so great and so certa i n , t h at I s h ou ld con °O 1 Price that cou ld b e paid extravagant which ; w,)ulti tend to obtain the object in view. 1 .6 tine o' - ' tl • • t •le Principal objections l that would be offered 1 to Audi a measure would be, that if yon paid the :Roman Catholic Clerr,f.y out of the general funds of the State, I you ought in justice also to pay the ministers of every other Dissenti , 11g to t . In answer to this I have endeavour- ed to prove that the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland 1 stan d s on a total.ly different footing from that of any Dig seating community fro England and Scotland; that it could not have dissented from ttChurch which it had preceded, to which it had never bei„ /,, _, , and which had never been i defac oestablishedin the country ; whilst all other Dissent- I ers whatever had been ori many members of the Church from which I , t,... -/y separated, and h a d so separated with ' t h e i r e y es open, and knowing the consequences of what , they were doill; ; so that if the eountry thought fit to i make a provision for the former, which had never changed its form of worship and its tenets, and to whom the temporalities now enjoyed by the Protestant Church had originally belonged, it gave no claim whatever for a provision to the latter, who had, though from pure and conscientious motives, voluntarily, and of their own act, abandoned the Church established by law, and which the community at large had acknowledged. " The next great objection put forward would be that the Irish Roman Catholic clergy might refuse to accept the stipends offered them, and continue to exact the dues and other payments as before. I cannot myself believe that such would be the case ; for though I have described the Irish priest as a political partisan, exercising through his spiritual and temporal power an undue in fluence over his flock, I did not mean to say that such a character was universal through the country, or to doubt that amongst the priesthood might be found numbers of excellent men who, though at present un able to resist the bad example given them by the more turbulent of their order, would be happy to confine themselves to the real spiritual duties of their ministry, should circumstances permit them to do so, and who would infinitely prefer receiving at the hand of Govern ment a regularly paid and sufficient stipend, to the more irksome process of obtaining one, as they do now, by so licitation or threats." We agree with the Noble Lord in supposing that the Catholic clergy would not refuse to accept the stipends. There never yet was a priesthood which did not desire to be independ ent of their flocks, because they know that the only diminution of their power arises from their being obliged to levy contributions on their votaries. Their spiritual power is wholly inde pendent of their incomes, and would be as great when they were paid by the State, were they to exert themselves, as when they were paid by the people. To have munificent in comes, in addition to their spiritual influence— to be enabled to relieve the wants of their poorer communicants, instead of extorting fees from them—would add the honours of opulence to the dignity of the priesthood. If their wants were provided for, they might become lazy, and so lose their influence ; but, as the general run of men would not suspect them selves of falling into such a vice, no apprehen sion of losing influence from that cause could exist, and the Catholic clergy would, we pelieve, accept an income from the State, were one suffi ciently large offered them. Such an opinion seems to prevail in Ireland, where liberal politicians, who have hitherto been much aided by the priests, obviously dread their defection, should an offer be made by the Go vernment. In other Protestant States, such as Prussia and Hanover, the Catholic clergy are salaried by the State ; and if no better reason could be assigned for not adopting the plan than that the Catholic clergy would not accept the stipends, it might with confidence be intro duced into Parliament the first day that Parlia ment meets. There is, however, one objection which Lord ALVANLEY has overlooked, and which to us seems stronger than those he has mentioned and refuted. His Lordship has little acquaintance with the people, however intimate may be his knowledge of Clubs or of Parliament ; accord ingly he takes no notice of the growth amongst them of the Voluntary system, which is hostile to the payment of any priest by the State. At present the Voluntaries, as they are called,are neither few nor powerless; the bulk of them are Protestants, and their aversion to taking Catholic priests into the pay of the State, and erecting another dependent Church in Ireland, is, we believe, insurmountallle. All these are sincere and earnest men, and no Government could afford to increase the taxes on them, who pay their own pastors, in order to pay the pastors of another faith. It would be both an injury and an insult, which would make the cup of their grievances overflow. Besides the Voluntaries, all the sincere Pro testaetts of the Established Church, both in England and Scotland, would be decidedly against paying the Catholic priests. They would regard it as an abomination, and would fiercely oppose it as a violation of their religion. The journals of this party have already growled out their disapprobation, and would speak in louder tones, were Lord ALVANLEY'S project to be taken up by any man of weight in the Administration. We can assure all dandy politicians that there is a growine , seriousness and earnestness amongst the people, which will insist on the principles they embrace being carried out, and which will not sacrifice what it conceives to be right in order to conform to the theories of phro.se-mak. irg statesmen. When the fierce Voluntaries (nearly all the Dissenters) are added to the whole of the Pres byterians, both in Scotland and Ireland, and to the strongly religious and Calvinistic of the Church of England, it will be seen that the strongest objection to Lord ALVANLEY'S plan is, that it is impracticable. If it were practicable, we think, speaking merely as politicians, that it would not be desirable. Lord ALVANLEY'S object in pr. posing the scheme, is to make the priests cease to be poli ticians, and to bring their spiritual influence on the side of the Government. He has no doubt, if they were well paid, that they would become somewhat idle, and less troublesome than at present. He probably adopts the philosophy of HUME (we speak of Davin), and would pay the Catholic priests in order to extinguish their zeal. HUME'S opinion, when he lived and wrote, I was the reflection of the conduct of the English clergy. They were then well paid, very indolent, and troubled neither themselves nor their flocks ' much about religion. But the clergy have assumed a new character since his time; they have broached new doctrines, become great sticklers for observances, and, so far as is com patible with the mild manners of the age, are furious zealots. The Church has had a revival, and at present is the guide, if it be not the mas ter, of the State. The exertions and lives of the Dissenters began to seduce the flocks from the clergy, their flesh-pots were threatened, and the very revenues which it was supposed would lull them into indifference, became the incentives to a new and: harrassing zeal. Avarice strengthened bigotry and fanaticism. HUME's doctrine, in fact, is only true where Dissent is not rite ; and Lord ALVANLEY, by adopting it when Dissent and Establishments are struggling for the mastery, has come to a very worthless conclusion. What, under this aspect, would be the conse quences of taking the Catholic priesthood into the pay of the State ? Ere long suspicions would arise in the minds of their flocks. Then would appear some ambitious and, perhaps, envious men, who did not get a share of the emoluments, and they would encourage and strengthen the suspicions. It would soon be said and believed that no Catholic priest could be expected to speak the truth whose bread depended on a Pro testant Government, and very swn, in spite of ex communication, there would be in Ireland a considerable body of Dissenters. A new set of priests, more zealous than the stipendiaries, placeu talunorrty contributions, ho c s o would soon sup ply paidl l a n l y d t w hb eoy v u 1 d ha rrass the wshtaotehlaidk like the bought present o ra v c e e r,. The paid priesthood would in turn see their sala ries and influence threatened, and love of worldly pelf would strengthen their desire fur spiritual dominion. As in the case of the cler of the Church of Engla n d, avar i ce would soon inflame zeal, instead of producing indifference, and would raise up another set of priests to share the gifts. However much they maddened the i people, they too must be bribed or bought off. Lord ALVANLEY'S policy is something like 1 that of the Emperors in the decline of Rome, whose mode of buying off th e b ar _ Ibarians and taking some of them into the ser. l r , vice of the State, only made still more numerous hordes penetrate into the empire to receive its bribes, and enrich themselves by its spoils. The suffering people. will perceive from the readiness of Lord ALVANLEY, in despite of the finances," to apply the publi c tot n44isotnaetyc- of the leis crotchet—regarding it as a case of such urgent necessity, that he is willing - , ap parently, to risk a national bankruptcy to achieve it,—the suffering people will see in this conduct how littl e th e y ar e thought of by M embers of the Upper House. If the Exchequer were over flowing, the project would be contemptible ; - but with t a 1 au n o the urgent empty rap yE e ne c lec l liee tmit r 4 an: a tarvilig• people, to k of Mid% CAthqlic, THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20 1841. priests into the pay of the State is a sad mockery of the national sufferings. It is, however, of a piece with Sir H. PEEL'S attention to ventilating the Houses of Parliament, and his attention to the plan for the encouragement of the art of painting some fifty thousand square feet of wall by eminent artists, and with schemes for pro tecting the Greek Church in the East, or of consecrating a Protestant Bishop of Jerusa lem, to which some of our Tory brethren devote their columns. If Sir R. PEEL, Lord ALVAN LEY, the Times, and the Standard, can do no thing else to relieve the present distress than paint walls, pay Catholic priests, and consecrate Bishops, the sooner they stand out of the people's way and allow them to save themselves the bet ter it will be for the nation. We are glad to see several of our Contempo raries turning their attention to .the laws which influence the growth of population in towns and in the country. Without at present interfering in the controversy which they have begun, we wish to obserVe that the growth of population is that great and single change in the material world which accompanies civilization. An en larged philosophy teaches, we think, that every moral change is accompanied by some physical changes, and that all explanation of either moral or physical phenomena, in the ultimate result, consists only in referring the one or the other to the correspOnding change in the other element which accompanies it. On this theory, and on the fact that the waxing and waning of population is the great physical circumstance which, from the beginning of time, has accompanied those moral changes we call civilization or barbarism, we are disposed to refer exclusively to the increase of population as a test of the goodness of every political contrivance. It is, however, palpable, that, befbre the in fluence of a law can be made known by an in creased or lessened mortality, that many of the people must have gone through all the sufferings which human nature can bear. For them the remedy of repealing a bad law comes too late, and they are mart . ) rs to the instruction of future generations. Before premature death overtakes a human being, he goes through great misery, and, consequently, when great masses of the people suffer, as at present—and great and loud are their complaints—those circumstances must be regarded as an infallible index to that partial and premature destruction of the population, which is the condemnation of the law. We can see no other means but the suffering. and com plaints of the bulk of the people by which there is the least chance of ascertaining the ultimate effects of any institution. But, unfortunately for the community, the voice of the people is not listened to. It has not even a recognized organ ; and those who should redress their grievances tell them, in substance, that they do not know of what they complain, that by and bye all will be well, that food will be at some time or other abundant, that England will grow more than enough for her people, and that prosperity will return. Yes, when they have been killed off. Noble Lords, Right Hon. and Hon. Gentlemen, who make up the Legislature, steadily and reso lutely close their ears to the complaints of the people, while they as steadily and resolutely hold fast by some crotchet or theory of their own. To listen to those complaints and suffer ings, to take counsel of the condition of the people, to comply with their requests, is said to to constitute a weak Government; steadily and unyieldingly to follow out a theory, be it what it may, and refuse to yield to the people, is said to constitute a strong Government. What lesson does this teach ? It is clear that the Government which will not listen to the complaints of the people, which guides its con duct by some other principle than a deference to their wants and wishes, is not constituted to pro mote their welfare, but to promote some other object. It looks to national greatness or national glory, and to this it sacrifices the solid happi ness of the great multitude. At the same time national 'glory and true na tional greatness would be beat achieved by al lowing the population the utmost latitude of growth, for the growth of population is the sign of, if it be hot synonymous with, civilization. We published yesterday a very curious cor respondence, addressed by the Rev. JOHN FRERE, Rector of Cottenham, in the diocese of Ely, to a parishioner, named NORMAN, on the enormity of circulating a pamphlet, entitled " A Tract for these Times ;" in which it was stated, that the book of Common Prayer does not agree wiLh the Bible. Shocked at the pro fanity of such an assertion, the pious Rector had recourse to his diocesan, who directed NORMAN to be excommunicated unless he publicly avowed his guilt and repented him of his wicked errors. But the charity of the good Rector did not stop here. Ile took care to re mind the erring Mr. NORMAN that he would be cited to appear in the Ecclesiastical Courts, and that his excommunication would carry with it a very fair allowance of costs. Now, excommu- • nication is regarded by all pious Churchmen as little better than a sentence of damnation ; it is a handing over of one sheep to SATAN for the benefit of the flock ; and yet, such is the rapa city of the clergy, that they charge as much for pronouncing a sentence of reprobation as of sal vation. The Church has a toll-keeper at the gates of Heaven, and of Perdition. Journey which way we will, there is no escaping her exactions. Put us in the path of salvation she will not without money ; condemn us she will, whether we choose it or not, and compel us to pay for the torments to which she consigns us. As we have not seen the tract circulated by Mr. NORMAN, we cannot presume to pronounce any general opinion of its contents ; but if there be nothing worse in it than the words cited by the Rector—and we suppose he made the case against Mr. NORMA N as strong as he could—there is little in it to which a good Protestant could take objec tion. That the Book of Common Prayer does not agree with the Bible, has been again and again admitted and deplored by some of the most pious and learned divines of the Church of England; and the Prelate, or Ecclesiastical Court, that would dare to assert the contrary, would merit being set up as a model of Gothic ignorance. The extraordinary conduct of the King of the FRENCH with respect to Spain argues an infatua tion of mind little short of downright insanity. No Frenchman in the possession of common sense, and at all acquainted with the state of public feeling in Spain, could entertain a project so utterly preposterous as that of attempting to compel the Spanish nation to give the hand of the young QUEEN to any son of King LOUIS PHILIPPE. No mind embued with Christian feelings, and actuated by Christian principles ; could regard a civil war kindled to effect such a purpose, otherwise than with the utmost abhor rence. And yet it is to realize this impossibility that the King of the FRENCH has leagued him self with the worthless CHRISTINA in exciting a rebellion in Spain. This is no longer denied by his own journals, and is now well known both in England and in Spain. There has been some talk of the KING sending an Ambassador to Spain to quiet the apprehensions of the Spanish Minister at Paris. It would be nearer the truth to say that the KING was disposed to send an official spy to note any symptom of weakness on the I:art of the Regent ESPARTERO, and to con trive the downfal of the Spanish Government in the Spanish capital. Whoever the King of the FRENCH may now send. to Madrid will b e more a spy. th an an Ambassador, an d b lind indeed 'Would b e the Government lumbug. o . l Spain could it be deceived int o a confidence of France by such a piece of dipl omatic at the b e F t ir r y e e t e i cnh tthei o n K approves d o thef c R u ts ti T h l ol .: all T ia l M NOZ, the do not b e li eve.

But it would have been a wiser calculation had the King of tire FRENCH rightly estimated the resistance which Spain ' alone might offer to his measures. Had he done so he would have kept his forty thousand pounds in his pocket, instead of wasting such a sum in a most wicked attempt to revolutionize Spain. Were the KING to prefer the interests of ' France, and the repose of Europe, to the pitiful ambition of aggrandizing his own family, he would carefully abstain from all intermeddling with the affairs of Spain. That country has suf fered so much and so recently from French am bition, and busybodyism, that a wise and pru dent Prince would make it the constant study of his reign never to appear to interfere in the internal administration of Spain. Instead of attempting to remove, he would exalt the Pyrenees, by giving the world to understand that on the side of France they were impassable. But the prospect of family aggrandizement blinds the otherwise accurate vision, of the CITIZEN KING. Everything is lost sight of iii the dazzling vista of fancy, at the end of which he discerns a phantom Duke d'AUMALE ou the throne of Spain. But were the KING'S confidence in ultimate suc cess twice as strong as it is, that would not justify, before GOD or man, the atrocious means to which he has resorted fur its accomplishment. Only look fur one instant at a palace strewed with dead, a city in ashes, thousands of men in arias against the established Government, the scaffold reeking with blood —and all this amount of crime but the first plunge in the sea of atrocities upon which one young man, already heir to all the wealth of tire house of Co:sin, is to sail to a conjugal participation of the regal honours of Spain ! Is there a good mind which does not involuntarily shrink from the bare imagination of such a prospect? But it is still worse when success is known to be impossible. France may overrun Spain and bathe in the blood of her people, but she cannot place a son of Louis PHILIPPE. on the throne of ISABELLA. France may augment an hundred-fold Spain's memory of the deep wrongs she has sustained, but she can not, by forcible measures, bend the iron will of the Spanish people. Of the chances of JOHN BULL'S appearance one fine morning in the Pe ninsula, in the event of a French invasion, we trust we shall have no occasion to speak. In the meantime we desire to know what has become of the pacific influence of M. GUIZOT in the Cabinet? M. DUCHATEL is not ignorant of the consequences of disturbing the repose of Spain to an extent which would call for the interference of England. Has his opinion no weight ? Does the KiNG still continue everything and his Mi nisters nothing but mere tuuls to bear the re sponsibilities of Royalty ? What course our Tory Ministry may pursue, we know nut; but it looks ominous to see their accession to office seized upon as the most fitting time for a revolution in Spain. CHRISTINA was very quiet while Lord PALMERSTON WS in office, but the instant he quitted it she began plotting, in conjunction with LOUIS PHILIPPE, the overthrow of the Spanish Government. The Paris Journals ofkonday have all reached us. The following telegraphic despatches, pub lished by the Illogiteur, contain the latest news from Spain : • BAYONNE, OCT. 15.—Pampeluna has not capitulated. Capt.-General Ayerbe arrived there on the morning of the 12th, with two battalions of the 2d regiment of the Guard, but with scarcely any of the officers. There exists a kind of armistice between the town and the citadel. O'Donnell left the citadel on the evening of the 12th, to join Ortigosa with 1,500 men, and traversed Navarre to induce it to rise. lie was to return to the citadel between the 18th and 20th, guarded by the battalion which made the movement, and - by 200 volunteers of Pampeluna. "Oa the 11th, at Bergara, the Forel Deputation de creed an appeal to arms, and named Mon:erou Royal Commissary of Guipuscoe s 13atomm , "Cref: 18:= No news from Pampelnna. The communications are intercepted by a band of Chris tines at Lanz. The customs soldiers of Lrdax have fled into France.. No news or courier from Madrid." Private letters from : the North of Spain state • that the' people are iverywhere rising against the Christino movement. ' • • In Paris, on Monday, a telegraphic despatch was received frbm. Bayonne, announcing the capture of General DIEGO LEON, the Cilief of the Madrid insurrection. The Count DE RE QUENA and Brigadier QUIROGA, taken at Alca rabaca, were concealed in a cart laden with hay. The Duke of SAN CARLOS, who accompanied them, succeeded in effecting his escape. On Monday the Minister of Finance adjudged the loan of 150 millions of francs to the houses of ROTItSCHILD and HATTIINGUER. There was but one tender, proposing to take the loan in the Three per Cents. at 78f. 521 c. It was accepted, though below the price anticipated by the Go vernment. The Court of Cessation, on an application from the law officers of the Crown at Toulouse, has directed that eighteen persons, arrested for having participated in the ?ate disturbances in that town, shall be tried by the Court of Assize fur the Hautes-Pyrenees, and that the responsible editors of the Emancipation, Paliteire, and Gazette da Languedoc, the Opposition papers of Tou louse, shall be tried by the Court of Assizes of the Basees-Pyrenees. A dealer in old clothes and his wife were arrested the day before yesterday at the Barriere du Mont Par nasse, fur using seditious language against the King and the Royal Family. They made a vigorous resistance to the soldiers who were ordered to arrest them, and they were afterwards confronted with Quenisset. The Correctional Tribunal of Marseilles hae just con demned several individuals, accused of belonging to an illegal political society, called Association de St. Just, to various terms of imprisonment, from three to six months, with fines from 50f. to 100 f. Other persons, belonging to the same association, have been sent before the tribunals of Avignon, Carpentras, and Aix. The Administrators of the Public Library of Rouen have directed that it shall be opened on Sunday morn ings from nine to twelve o'clock, in the hope that work men and others, who have only this morning in the week free, will profit by it. The Temps states that the greatest part of the jour neymen paper-stainers have continued the strike for wages, and that most of the manufactories in this line are at a stand.

The Courtier Francais contains a letter f'roin Syra, in commenting upon the supposed intpntion of th e P?rte to bring Tunis directly within its power, at the in stigation, as the writer says, of England, the following particulars are given of the trade of this part of Africa with Europ e :—" The imports and exports amounts to 18,000,000 f. annually, vie.—lmports, 8,000,000 ; Exports, 10,000,000. Of this amount France stands for 2,000,000 of imports and nearly 4,000,000 of exports, although she has for competitors all the states of Italy, England, Turkey, Spain, &c. Next to France Tuscany is the country which carries on frost trade with Tunis, and next to Tuscany, Sardinia; but these two . countries are really, as r e g a rd s th e grea t er portion of the trace, only a means employed by England to favour her own commerce. As the s al e s at Tunis are upon long credit, which may even be prolonged indefinitely, the English Government, in order to favour its merchants, has compelled the Bey of Tunis to allow S ar di n i a and Tuscany to p art i c ip a t e i n the privileges which he himself possesses. The London merchants, therefore, fill the entrepots of Genoa and Leghorn with their merchandise, which thee- sell to the merchants of those places for ready money or short bills, and the latter sell them to the Jews of Tunis, who even sell them some times at a loss, in order to procure ready money, with which they carry on an extensive and lucrative trade. France removed the difficulties which stood in the way of the Sardinian and Tuscan merchants, note:ill' ing the protection of England, when, kr. generosity, Admiral de Rosainel Bey of Tunis, in which 1 all foreigners te demande-' __nand -,, tor Franco.

The National of Nantes gives an account of a storm which occurred a few days ago at Mouniers, on the Clison road, during . which the lightning struck the mill called La Pierre, singed the whiskers of the miller, burnt the cheek of another man, and, it asserts, reduced a baker who was with them in the mill to powder The Veloce steamer is appointed to convey M. de Bourqueney to Constantinople. By a late decision of the Marshal Minister of War, eleven superior officers of the Staff, Colonels, Lieut.- Colonels, and Captains of Cavalry, are to set out on the Ist of Nov. for Africa, where the Governor-General will give thorn the command of plidesi the importance of which will be in proportion to the rank of each officer. These officers will not, however, cease to 'below to the Staff. It is affirmed that the disclosures made by Quenisset, and several incidents which have been the consequence of them, have rendered the affair of the lath of Sept. very ccmplicated, and M. Bastard's report cannot be ready before the end of the month. The Presse says, that the convocation of the Chambers was decided in Council on Friday, and that it is fixed for the 23d of December. It seems that at this time the Council must have been held without the King's presiding, and that the Minister of the Interior was not present at it, since the King was at Fontainebleau, and all the Ministerial Journals have stated that M. Duchatel did not return to Paris till Saturday. Not that we could call in question the information of the press.. Nobody is ignorant that the Ministers are by no means in a hurry to meet the Cham bers, and the 23d of December is precisely the latest date at which the Convocation can take place.—Le com merce.

The further postponem - ent of M'Leod's trial leads to hope of his acquittal, as there must evidently be great difficulty in bringing credible witnesses against him. Even the owner of the Caroline, who was on board at the time of the attack, and saw the man Durfee killed, is of opinion that 141‘Leod was not the assailant, at least so it is stated in some ac counts. The provocation for the seizure of Grogan is shown to have been very great, but it is supposed he will be given up. THE MARKIITS—THIS DAY. CUEN EXCHANGE.

POREIGN. The news received from the United States will disap point public expectation. The Caledonia steamer and packet ship South America, which arrived at Liverpool last night, bring New York papers of the 2d instant, whereas the trial of Mr. M'Leod was fixed for the 4th. From the absence of several important witnesses, it is probable that a further postponement was granted. The trial was expected to occupy ten_ or twelve days at the very least. rom Spain the news is tolerably satisfactory. No movement of any consequence has taken place in.,Na varre, and in Gutpuscoa the Christinos are rather losing than gaining ground. O'Donnell has failed to take Pampeluna. The extensive worsted - mills of M. Guiraud, on the Aude, near Limoux, were entirely destroyed by fire a few days since, with all the stock and machinery, -occa sioning a loss of 200,000 francs, and throwing upwards of 100 hands out of einployment. The property was insured. Letters frond Genoa state that two failures, amounting together to three millions of francs, have just been de clared in that city. According to a table published by the Univers, the population of Rome, reckoned up to Easter last, was 158,868. In 1832 it was 148,455. There has just bees published at Berlin a statistical account of the criminal justice for the last twenty-thi.: 6 years in the whole of the kingdom of Prussia, under the German system of legislation, that is, with the ex ception only of the Rhenish provinces, in which the French code is still in force. From this work it ap pears that during the period mentioned there have been 312 criminals condemned to death ; namely, 234 men, and 78 women, making on an average about 13 capital sentences per annum, or 4 in every 3,000,000 inhabitants, the population of this part of Prussia being reckoned at 10,000,000. Of the 312 capital convicts, 145 only were executed, of whom 130 were men and 15 women. Among the 7S women condemned to death, 33 were for infanti cide, all of whom obtained full pardons or commutations of their sentences. Between three and four o'clock on Thursday last a meteor of unusual size, being as big as a tun, according to some accounts, fell near the Arras gate at Bethune, in the Pas de Calais, making a rushing noise like the passage of a hurricane.

The Protestant religion is declared the religion of the State, but freedom of religious worship is proclaimed, and the Jews are equally protected, reli giously and civilly. The representation is confided to 13 De puties, whose qualifications are, their being Christians, and of unblemished reputation, and in the possession of cer tain property in land as regards the rural districts, or the rights of citizenship in towns. The electoral fran chise is very extensive, for all medical men, clergymen, lawyers, teachers, bankers, and merchants. and every man who has been for three years in trade on his own account are electors. The Deputies are elected for eight years, but nearly all public functionaries are ineligible. PUBLIC OPINION. In a leading article commenting on Mr. Sharman Crawford's Address to the Repealers of Ireland, the Times has the following remarks:—" England is, and of law years always has been, well-disposed towards Ire land—she is desirous to consolidate, by a natural inter change of good offices and affections, that union which she feels to be necessary for the true interests of both countries. She admires and respects the.many fine qua lities of the Irish people ; she has no motive or inclina tion to withhold from them any advantage which she herself possesses. Those who poison the Irish ear with the foul lie of English hatred towards them are the worst of slanderers. The natural influence of Ireland in the Imperial Parliament is very great, and no Englishman wishes to see it diminished. But of late years it has been abused, wasted, and Fquandered, till it is almost gone." The Chronicle, in reply to some remarks in a Minis terial Journal of yesterday, respecting the injury done by improvements in machinery to the labouring classes says—" If machinery be hostile, in manufactures, to the interests of those who toil, it cannot be less so in agri culture. Did the Tories know this, when in former years they imprisoned, transported, and hanged, the breakers of threshing machines ? Do they intend to sanction such operations in future ? The threshing machine does man's work as plainly as the power-loom. Not only so ; but what are ploughs and harrows ? All hostile, according to the Ministerial organs, to the labouring classes. The ground could be dug and scratched, and very many persons would require to be employed in the work. Let the landlords' sophists look at home, Nobody is foolish enough, or wicked enough, to complain] of their machinery, although it be a sub stitute for human labour.' Many people wish it were better than it is. And better it soon would be, to the manifest advantage of all classes, were the cultivator put "upon terms of fair and honourable competition with the foreign corn grower." The followinc , is from the Herald :—" Chartism is the Whig Frankenstein ; the monster is of Whig crea tion ; it pursues its creators to destruction ; it will cling to Whiggery everlastingly. It is in vain for the Whigs to complain of Chartist interruptions, disturbances, and violences ; they are the unchecked result of their own former riots, interferences with public opinion, agitation, and excitement. The Chartists are merely carrying out in support of their monstrosities practices which the Whigs originated when they were carried into office on the shoulders of the people The ChartistA are to Whig gery what Shyloek was to Antonio—they merely better their instruction." .11.07LICULTUILA.L. The crop of Corinth grapes at Corfu, this year, has been excellent in quantity and quality. Cephalonia has produced nearly 12,000,000 pounds ; Zante about 7,000,000. The olives are abundant. NAVAL AND MILITATLY. To-day the 99th regiment, 900 strong, will have a field- day, and be reviewed on Chatham lines by Lieut.- General Sir Howard Douglas, Colonel of the regiment. Two new splendid colours will be presented on the occa sion, after which there will be a dinner, ball, and supper. This regiment is under orders for New South Wales. LAW AND POIAZCE. The man named General Washer, after having under gone a lengthened examination before the Earl of Chi chester and a bench of -MagistratPs at Lewes, on sus. picion of the murder of Hannah Devonshire, alias Smith, at Ringmer, in Sussex, three years ago, was committed on Monday to take his trial at the easuing Sussex Assizes, on a charge of wilful murder, the lvlagistrates thinking there was sufficient evidence against him. The strongest point of evidence was the finding in possess;:mi of the prisoner a pair of spectacles, which the man Smith, with whom the deceased cohabited, firmly believed to have belonged to the deceased, and that they had been taken from her pack, which was found cut in holes. - Washer protests his innocence. • COURT- PA51110N13.33/421.

Lord Palmerston arrived in Dublin on Saturday morn ing, and the Earl de Grey on Saturday evening. MISCELLANEOUS. The light in the new lighthouse on Coquet Island was exhibited for the first time on Friday week. It is a brilliant fixed light, and can be seen from a great distance, A fire broke out at South Molton, Devonshire, on Sun• day during the dreadful hurricane, which, according to the last accounts, destroyed eight/houses. Last week a large whale ran ashore and got fixed in a fissure of the rock near Broadhaven, -about a mile to the north of the bay of Wick. After it was killed, it was found to measure 76 feet long, and it was claimed on behalf of the Vice-Admiral of the county, and the broad arrow cut on its back. In the forenoon it was sold pub licly, and realized 801. One of these mischievous assemblages, commonly called "Great Protestant Meetings," is to be • held in Exeter Hall on the 4th of November.. l:We suppose thiS day has been chosen, in order that the firebrands may take the Gunpowder Plot as a text for abusing their Catholic fellow-Christians. At the annual meeting of the New townards Farining Society ; the Marquis of Londonder, y, who presided, warted dig hettKig to oppose all interference with the Corn-laws, adding, " You do ntithnew what a Government may do , _ Wizen forced to it. wisi; yeti to place your selves beyond the power of any man , or of iinv Govern ment, and whatever they may do." It is clear fron7 this that the Noble Marquis has no great idea of the con sistency of Ministers. Their refusal to give him a place has wondrously sharpened his sagacity, and he evidently thinks it.far from unlikely that they may play the same game with the Corn-laws that they did with Catholic Emancipation, There is no man ho so soon detects faults in a Qovornment as a disappointed placernan.
