Spirit of the Public Journals• (Prom Ike Times of this day.) There are some terrible blots in our penal legis lation as affecting fraudulent bankrupts. It was but the other day that the great delinquents, Strahan, Paul, and Bates nearly escaped the punishment due to their misdeeds by reason of the imperfect and absurd phrasing of a particular clause in an act of ParliaMent. The case, fortu nately, did not turn upon the point which was involved in the construction of this clause, or the result might have been problematical, although the compliance on the part of the bankrupts with the formal requirements of the act amounted in reality to a fresh fraud. The Judges expressed strong opinions against the validity in point of law of the plea urged by the bankrupts under this preposterous clause. We are glad that the sound ness of their opinion was not put to the proof when we see what the letter of the law has effected for two other bankrupts, Gordon and Davidson. Their case was argued on Friday last by adjourn ment from the 10th of November, and the result was that the conviction was quashed by a majority of the judges sitting as a Court for the Considera tion of Crown Cases Reserved. Eight points had been urged by the counsel for the criminals against the validity of the conviction. A few of these aro worthy of mention, if only to show how deeply involved in chicane this portion of the law yet remains. One of the objections was, that when commissions had been allotted by the Chancellor to particular commissioners, no other commissioner could take up the case without the Chancellor's sanction. This particular petition had been allotted to Commissioner Goulburn, but proceedings under it had subsequently taken place before other com missioners. Another ground of objection was, that in the proceedings the bankrupts were described as of Mincing-lane, and of West Ham-lane, in the county of Essex, whereas in the Gazette West Ham lane was said to be in the county of Middlesex. Again, a summons was left upon the bankrupts on the 26th of July, calling them to appear on the 17th of July—a day past—and on the 19th August. This, as it was contended, was not a valid sum mons. The objection which stands sixth ou this precious list does the very highest credit to the in genuity of its framers. The bankrupts had been summoned to attend before Commissioner Goul- buin on a particular day, but as he himself did not sit, the inference the bankrupts drew was that their presence was not required. It was Mr. Commissioner Goulburn who had requested the pleasure of their company—not the Court of Bankruptcy. Then there had been a trifling altera tion in the petition—an alteration in the verifica tion of the petition by the petitioning creditor—an alteration in the adjudication by the commissioner —an alteration in the deposition verifying the pe tition. All these were matters of slight account, not calculated to damage the interest of the bank rupts, nor in any way affecting the question of their guilt or innocence of the felony for which they were indicted—namely, not surrendering under their bankruptcy. It is but fair to the course of British justice to say, that when these points were argued, on the 10th of November, before Chief Justice Jervis, Baron Parke, and Justices Erle, Crompton, and Willes, they were all overruled save one. Still they are good evidence to show the opinion of lawyers as to the points by which fraudulent bankrupts may be saved. The point on which the conviction was ultimately quashed was as ludi crous and frivolous as any of those which have as yet been particularised. This it was : The course adopted in serving the notice of adju dication was to leave at the counting-house of Gordon and Davidson one duplicate of the notice of adjudication, and one duplicate of the notice to surrender, whereas it was con tended there ought to have been two duplicates. Was it not possible, otherwise, that one of the partners might have gone to the counting-house, put the single duplicates in his pocket, and have omitted or forgotten to mention the matter to his partner ? Then, as it could not be known to the law which of the partners had received the papers, they were both to be held free from notice. In point of fact, Messrs. Gordon and Davidson—men who have been guilty of one of the most enormous commercial frauds upon record, who dodged away from this country to avoid the consequences of their guilt, who were hunted like a brace of foxes from one European territory to another—are to be held ignorant of the fact that any legal proceedings had been instituted against them. They were ac cidentally away from their place of business. How could it possibly have entered into their heads that they were the subjects of proceedings before a Court of Bankruptcy? Such are, literally, the grounds upon which these two mon have escaped the sentence they deserved. Of the 10 legal Pun dits who were called upon to decide this knotty point, six took one view of the case, and four the other. Lord Campbell, Barons Parke and Alderson, Justices Cresswell, Williams, and Cromp ton were of opinion that two notices were required; while Chief Justice Jervis, Justices Erle and and Baron Platt thought one notice suf ficient. The real facts of the case were, that David son and Gordon, the unconscious innocents, when they found themselves in peril of immediate arrest, bolted secretly from the country and made their way to Ostend, then to Brussels, then to Aix-la- Chapelle, then to Neufchatel. As we have no ex tradition treaty with Switzerland these doves might have found rest for their weary pinions in some Swiss oasis but for an expedient to which the creditors had recourse. They transferred some bills granted by the truants to Swiss subjects, so that Messrs. Gordon and Davidson were again compelled to take flight. From Geneva they pro ceeded ultimately to Naples, where they were given up to the Government. When conveyed to Malta, owing to some technical objection in the form of the warrant, they were discharged by the magis trate. They were, however, compelled to leave Malta in such a manner that the Southampton steamer was their only resourse. On arrival at the port last mentioned they were, of course,in stantly arrested, and in due course brought to trial at the Central Criminal Court on the 23d of August last. As a matter of form, Gordon was the one actually put upon trial. The charge, evidenc+, Asc., were precisely the same in David son's case, but when the legal objections to the conviction had been stated' it was arranged .d. for , convenience sake that Davidson's'f theresult technical proceedings was known. Gordon—oand Davidson are both, therefore, free from the consequences of the first charge—although, upo n the merits, the jury in August last had immediately returned a verdict of " Guilty" against the one w h o repre sented both. We are not without good hope that, under some of the other indictments hanging over them, the prisoners may be visited with such punishment as may deter others from following in their footsteps. There are various indictments, charging them with obtaining sums varying from 2,4001. to 17,0001. under false pretences. Uncertain as the crimin a l law affecting bankrupts appear s to be, some stone i may at last strike home. The case s a very bad one indeed. Here are two men who break up their business with unsecured debts, including the debt due to Overend and Gurney, and other debts upon fictitious warrants, amounting to the sum of 500,000/. Their assets have been found to be 2,0001. It is impossible to conceive a worse case, not only from the magnitude of the deficiency, but from the shameless frauds perpetrated by the part ners. We are far fr om thi n ki ng th a t a ll private bankers are like Strahan, Paul, and Bates, and all merchants like Gordon and Davidson, but still the number of fraudulent bankruptcies, which are of weekly occurrence, proves that the sub ject requires review. At least let the criminal portio n of the bankrupt law be entirely pu rge d from chicane We may soon enter en a fresh era of speculation' Within a twesvemonth after the conclusi on of peace we shall require all the secu rity the la w can give us against fraudulent bank rupts. (Pro y rvatt!the Times. 1 2.--"sn , Peace is what ever be peace upon such ter ms Z w al. i man desires, but it must mialninsure a continuance of the blessing to Europe for dictate year to come. The allies are now in a situation to terms. This is bas turned are unreason not a reason for insisting upon any W a h t e i turned in our able ; but, since the fortune of war favour, at least let us take securit y t hat we again shall not have the same bloody work to begin over hence. Every argume nt used by the self-st yled t -Tarty" is a weapon which telis with the g rea test 1" r : against themselves. We ag ree with them as to th: o h - - ject, but we differ entirely as to the means by w hi ch it is to be attained. Their argument, when fairly carried eut, amounts to this,—that any great military Powe r which may choose to attack a weaker neighbour is 1() )u be left at perfect libertso to dd. When one neigh -0 r has been swallowedup, the process may be re peated on the next , and the xt, until the great origi nal aggressor threaten has attained such proportion as to the Czar the ar liberties of mankind. Until the fleets of shores, we are off our coasts, and his armies npOn our doubtful if theernnoot to interfere ; and even then it iq would be prepared re to enthusiastic professors of this creed thin c recommend resistance. Every ra tional man, in itoirtry at least, hates war for its own sake. Whenis forced upon us it is a dreadful necessity—a necessity w n hich we m us t, an d, h ap pily, na in the present instance prevent the speedy recur rence. Very few spokesmen, however, like to take place in the ranks of the Peae e _ at _ an imo©price Party The dnno politic form of original cry now assumes the " Enough has been done." They war in the abstract —not they. When tLorddisapprove of practice was at i Vienna they were inclined for peace front Rausrl found conviction that any terms which could nl b e r im posed on Russia, would be found nugatory in THE SETN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 3, 1855. and that treaties were not worth the paper or parchment on which they were written. Mr. Edward Miall, Naval and Military Intelligence, who on Wednesday evening addressed his constituents at Rochdale, is now convinced that a prolongation of hostilities with Russia will not conduce to the interests of this country. We may compel Russia to evacuate the Crimea, we may destroy Nicholaieff and Cherson, we may capture Cronstadt ; but Europe will receive no benefit from the humiliation of Russia. This is a ques tion of opinion. What reason have we for supposing that Russia will not be as fully prepared in 1863 to com mence an attack upon any weaker neighbour as she was in 1853 ? Simply because she will not have recovered from her losses. Mr. Miall himself supplies us with the answer. He numbers up the telling blows which have been inflicted upon the Czar, not without a certain com placency, man of peace though he is. The Sea of Azoff has been swept ; the seaboard of Circassia has been purged ; the Turks have saved Kars, and in the next campaign se riously threaten Georgia ; the mouths of the Boug and Dnieper are blockaded and Kinbourn taken; Sebastopol has fallen ; and, last, not least, "from the beginning of the war Russia, even by the calculation of her best friends, has lost 300,000 choice soldiers ; in order to make good this tremendous loss she has had eight conscriptions in two years ; already half her army is said to consist of raw and undisciplined levies, and already the drain upon her fighting men has very nearly reached the ex tent of its capacity." Does all this constitute a reason for making peace upon any terms, save such as will in disputably insure the peace of Europe against Russian aggression at least for the lifetime of this generation ? We cannot, of course, refuse to enter into negotiations for peace if the terms offered by the enemy are such as given evidence of real sincerity of purpose. The time, however, for diplomatic feints and the chicane of inter cessors has completely gone by. What account could the Emperor Napoleon give to the French nation ? With what hope could the English Governnment face the Parliament and the English people if they were to give us no other return for the blood of our friends and our children, and for the vast amount of treasure which we have lavished on this war, tha❑ a peace which would leave us to begin our work again whe❑ another human crop was ripe for the sickle of the Czar 1 We admit the full force of Mr. Miall's facts, but we dissent entirely from his conclusion. France and England are but beginning to feel their strength, while Russia is staggering, and already faint with conflict. More especially is this true of England. She was quite unprepared for war when the conflict broke out. Her gigantic strength has been grossly misdirected and mis managed, and now that we are loose from the leading strings of our blind guides are we not to obtain security at least as a return for our many sacrifices ? We could have wished that this had been a little more clearly ex pressed by Mr. Cardwell in the speech which he deli vered on Thursday evening at the Town-hall at Ox ford. It is a pity in a case like this to indulge in the Delphic vein. It is clear that Mr. Card well thinks the guilt of this war lies at the door of Russia. He declares it also to be our duty to shrink from no sacrifice and to spare no exertion for the success ful prosecution of the cause ; but when he comes to dis cuss the question of making peace, he tells us that— " Whenever it 'shall be possible, whenever terms shall be offered which return us that satisfaction for which we entered into the fight, it will be the duty of every man, whatever be his station, without reference to any other object, to let all the ends he aims at be his country's, his God's, and truth's, and with a single purpose for the foundation of European liberty," &c. We trust Mr. Cardwell thinks aright upon this point, than which a more momentous one has never occupied the attention of European statesmen ; but it is difficult to extract mean ing from such grandiloquent phrases. If we are to have peace, it must not be a nominal one, but such a peace as will satisfy all the objects of the war and leave our swords in their scabbards for many a year. The new mortar-raft which was towed down from ' Woolwich on Friday week by the steam-vessel Mcnkey, Second-Master George Syndercomb, commander, and moored off Shoeburyness Sand, commenced her experi ments on Monday last with orders to fire at certain in tervals 300 rounds from a 13-inch mortar with a charge of 201 b. of powder, the dead shell weighing 2001 b. Cap tain James C. Caffin, C. 8., R.N., and Mr. James P. Peake, Assistant-Master Shipwright, with several other scientific gentlemen of the Royal Navy and Artillery, superintended the experiments. In consequence of the state of the weather, up to Friday last only 96 rounds had been fired, the average range of which exceeded 4,000 yards, without any visible action taking place on the platform framing of the raft, except a few of the planks forming the deck or platform butts starting with the concussion. Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, C. 8., arrived there on Friday last, at noon. He had under his command five seamen and the gunner of the Sinbad, Mr. Henry Wallace. Four rounds were fired by them, when it was discovered that there was a leak in one of the pontoon magazines for powder. Fortunately, the magazine had only a few charges in it. There were three feet of water in the magazine in a very short time, and in another of the pontoon magazines there was one foot of water. The raft has three pontoon magazines for powder and five pontoon shell rooms. It was found necessary to warp the raft in on the ebb, dry, which was shortly effected, assisted by the Monkey. The Mon key was sent to Sheerness to precure pumps, which were supplied to her from the yard, and she proceeded again the same night. The concussio❑ felt on the raft is con elderably less than that felt on beard the mortar-vessels when the mortar is fired, and her displacement by dip is scarcely perceivable. There is little doubt that the de scription of raft now under trial will fully realise the most sanguine expectation of the Government as well as the inventor of them. _ _ An interesting experiment has taken place off Shoe buryne-s, by setting fire to a large launch moored off for that purpose, by firing carcasses at her as she lay. The first that struck her burned her to the water's edge. from head-quarters. The Jura left Portsmouth for the Thames yesterday afternoon. A detachment of Royal Sappers and Miners from Woolwich arrived on Saturday evening for the purpose of completing two companies of the same corps at Brompton Barracks. 167 young men have joined the Medical Staff Corps, in command of Captain Bunbury, within the last month. Second Class Wm. Bray orooke has joined the medical staff at Fort Pitt, on his return from the reserve battalion at Malta. Second Class Surgeons George William Powell and Wellington Poole and Acting Assistant• Surgeons J. H. Newsman and H. Beresford are ordered forthwith to proceed by overland route to Scutari Hospital. The order for the Royal George, 102, to proceed to Spithead on her arrival at Sheerness has been counter manded, and she is to remain at Sheerness. Had she arrived, as was anticipated, within this last day or two, Mr. Brockman, master in the service, was in readiness here to have piloted her round to Portsmouth to join the grand naval review there in honour of the iKing of Sardinia's visit to this country. Now, being too late for the above, the report is she will proceed to Gilling ham (Tolly Point), a few miles below Chatham. The new screw steam-ship Mars, 80 guns, has been placed under the new factory shears at Sheerness, and is receiving her new boilers, which were sunk with the Waterwitch. The Brandon steam-transport, Captain Jenkins, the Sydney steam-transport, Captain Macnamara, the Ger mania steam-transport, and the Durham steam-transport, Captain Starks, all arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday from the East. The Brandon brought Ensign Bur goyne, of the 93d, Assistant-Surgeon Grant, Staff-Sur geon Williams, Quartermaster Carney, 3 sergeants, 10 orderlies, 98 military invalids, Lieutenant Still, R. 41.., Lieutenant Roe, 12th Lancers, and a Greek spy. These she landed at Portsmouth Dockyard yesterday after noon, and the invalids were taken to Forehouse Bar racks. The Durham left on Saturday night for the Thames. The Sydney brought 54 invalids, 2 women, Major and Mrs. Haokett, Mrs. Turner, 3 children, 1 servant, Dr. Barrett, in medical charge, and Mr. Swann, his assistant ; proceeded to Smyrna, and took in 63 in valids, Mrs. Bowler, nurse, 2 civil orderlies, and 1 sol dier's wife. She spoke her Majesty's ship Albion going into Gibraltar on the 24th ult. Mr. Crealock, Paymas ter, R.N., and Mrs. Potter joined at Malta. She spoke the Edendale transport going into Malta on the 18th Nov., and the Bombay and True Briton transports on the same day ; and the Belmont, of Plymouth, on the 30th ; she was in company with the Australian transport three days—the 18th, 19th, and 20th. The Germania brought Capt. Wilson, Lieutenants Knox, 'Hamilton, Wyllie, and Johnstone, of the Royal Artillery ; Ensign Hickman, of the 60th Rifles ; Dr. Marchi, surgeon, in charge of invalided troops ; 114 men, 20 women, 36 children, of the Royal Artillery ; 2 men, 2 women, and 1 child of the Royal Sappers and Miners ; 1 man of the Ist Royal Regiment, 1 of the 7th, 3 of the 31st, and 20 of the 82d ; 2 women and 6 children of the Royal Berks Militia ; 9 men, 2 women, and 1 child of the Royal Wilt shire Militia ; 22 men, 2 women, and 1 child of the Lan cashire Militia—total, 118 men, 31 women, and 45 chil dren from the lonian Islands ; 4 men and 1 woman died on the passage. The Germania spoke off Cani Rock the English bark Syria, steering east, Nov. 21 ;',on the 28th, in lat. 44 32 W., long. 8 48, passed the English yacht Wave Queen, steering north ; on the 30th, about 25 miles S.W. of the Start Point, passed a schooner bat. tened up, appeared to be an English vessel laden with fruit, and afterwards a boat bottom np, supposed to be long to the schooner. Vice-Admiral Sir G. F. Seymour, K.C.8., G.C.H., the Commander-in-Chief elect of Portsmouth, visited that port on Saturday. The Mary freight-ship sailed from Portsmouth on Fri day night. Her Majesty's screw ?steam-ship Exmouth, 90, Capt. NV. K. Hall, and the sailing frigate Meander, 44, Capt. T. Baillie, towed by the steam-stoop Hecla, 6, Comman• der Aplin, left Plymouth Sound at E o'clock yesterday morning to join the fleet assembled at Spithrwl in honour of the visit of his Majesty the King of Sardinia. Great activity has been observed at Devonport in preparing these ships for sea, in compliance with the unexpected instructions of the Lords of the Admiralty. The crew of the Exmouth, recently returned from the Baltic, housed lower yards and topmasts on Tuesday, ftr d on Wednesday morning, at eight o'clock, she went into d ck and had her copper examined and repaired. The en4ineers were at work on her machinery nearly all night. On Thursday morning she was taken out of dock and placed at her sailing moorings. While her crew were busily employed shifting over from the Vigo hulk, which they entered only on Wednesday, they received sudden orders to get ready for sea. Notwithstanding that many were absent on leave, topmasts were swayed up and fitted, topgallantrnasts pointed, and sails bent the same night. On Friday she trok in provisions, a new sheet cable, and 233 tons of coal —a quantity of fuel said to be greater than ever taken on board any man-of war in one day. On Saturday morning the ship was clean and in every respect ready for service. She left Hanmaze with topgallantyards across at 9 o'clock for Plymouth Sound, whert she,received her powder and shell, and waited orders. It is satisfactory to add that Captain Hall is greatly esteemed by all his officers and crew. Rear-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour shifted his flag on Friday morning from the Exmouth, 90, to La Hogue, 60, Captain Ramsay. In the evening the Admiral in spected the Exmouth prior to her leaving the harbour. Shipwrights will commence to-day laying blocks in slips Nos. 2 and 4, in the Devonport dockyard, for the constructi.in of two steam gun-boats. The order was received on Saturday, and the boats are to be built with extraordinary despatch. The hospital ship Belleisle, having been repaired, was taken out out of dock at Devonport, on Saturday. The barque Alfred, with provisions for Jamaica, sailed from Plymouth on Saturday. The transport Castle Eden, with convicts for Bermuda, and the Sir G. Pollock are expected there shortly. The latter embarks 240 soldiers for the West Indies—viz., a detachment of the 36th Foot for Jamaica ; 67th, for Trinidad ; and 69th, for Barbadoes. The Brigade of Royal Marines which, as already stated, arrived at Portsmouth by the Jura, were landed from the Black Sea fleet towards the close of Septem ber, 1854, and were immediately encamped before Balaklava to protect that important position, which we then seized and have since then made the basis of our operations in the Crimea. Soon after the land ing of this force at the request of Lord Raglan, a detachment of about 300 men were sent to the front, where they did duty with the Light Division, and were employed during the winter in the trenches. Early in March this detachment was withdrawn from the camp of the Light Division, and rejoined the main body on the heights of Balaklava. While in this posi tion the Marines were employed with the rest of the troops under Sir Colin Campbell, and marched in the different reconnaisances made during the winter by that general to examine the enemy's position. They wets also frequently under arms, when the enemy threatened the lines of Balaklava, especially on the 25th of October, and during the action of the Tchernaya on the 16th of August. All the officers and men of the present force are fresh from the recent expedition to the estuary of the Dneiper, where the capture of the fortress of Kinbourn by the allied arms has opened the gates of Nicolaieff and Cherson. Col. Hurdle, who was recalled to Eng land after the conclusion of the operations against Kin bourn, has arrived as a passenger in this ship, accom panied by his aide-de-camp Captain Ellice. The batta lion under the orders of Lieut.-Col. Holloway embarked on board the Jura at Kamiesh, on the 11th ult., left Balaklava on the 13th, and arrived at Constantinople on the 14th, after a passage of about 24 hours. Lea Constantinople on the evening of the 15th, and reached Malta on Sunday evening, the 18th. The detachment of Marines belonging to the Queen was put on board that ship at Constantinople, and Captain Gwynne and the London and ß Rodney osean were sentdJohns.

On Saturday, Mr. Baker, the coroner, opened an in quest at the Princess Alice, Murray-street, Hoxton, re specting the death of George James - M‘Neill, aged 4 years, and Edwin M'Neill, about 3 years old. Henry Charles Pickering, who was examined at the Worship street Police court before Mr. Hammill, was the first witness. He repeated the evidence he gave before the magistrate. He added that the razor with which the poor children's throats were cut was his pro perty, and that it had been Wien oat of a box which was locked. Eleanor Pickering, wife of the last witness, said that she had resided in the house above a twelveruonth. Dur ing the whole time the accused had been subject to mel ancholy, which had came upon her after the birth of her last child. Witness always understood that she was married, and that a gentleman, by whom she was con stantly visited, and who we❑t by her name, was her hus band. It was only in consequence of a oonversatiosi with her washeerwoman she ascertained that she was not married. Coroner—Are you aware who is the gentleman by 'hom she was visited 1 Inspector Hutton, N division, said that it was a Mr. James Williams, and that he was at the police•station, Robert-street, on Friday evening. The accused was formerly a servant to Mr. Williams. Evidence was then gone into, corroborative of that given by Mr. Pickering as to the discovery of the body and the cash-box, which was found upon the stairs. , . The inspector produced the cash-box, in which were six sovereigns, four silver table-spoons, two dessert ditto, six silver tea-spoons, forks, &c., a quantity of memoranda and letters. _ The inquiry was then adjourned till this day, and Mr. William was directed to be summoned.

INTENTIONS AND MANUFACTURES AT TIM ABCHI• TECTURAL EIHIBITION,—Tbe intimation that the Conn cil of the Royal Institute of Architects have agreed to the request that they should appoint a jury, who will award certificates of merit to such exhibitors of mate rials, inventions, and manufactures, connected with architecture, as they may think entitled to them, will lead, we should think, to the exhibition of a very largo number of interesting objects, and render the Exhibi tion practically valuable to all concerned or interested in works of construction. A certificate of merit from from such a committee as they will, doubtless, appoint must prove of no small value to the recipient. Our readers have probably observes that a conversazions will be held on every Tuesday evening, when papers on art will be read. These meetings will have the effect of bringing large numbers of the public to inspect the works exhibited.— The Builder.

Sir,—l suffered for 10 years with a bad leg, app•trently a white swelling, which caused me to keep my bed for two years; from an injury afterwards it formed into a wound, and 16 pieces of bone were taken out. I tried several medical men, but they could not cure my leg.

We fear an impression is entertained among the nu merous and worthy members of the Roman Catholic body in this country, which, for more than one reason, is to be deprecated. It is thought by some, at least, that the severe animadversions which the Austrian con cordat has called forth are utterances of nothing more than an uncharitable prejudice against the doctrine and ritual of an unpopular communion. Now for the justi fication of many who, like ourselves would not willingly lie under the imputation of being actuated by bigotry, it is highly desirable that this misapprehension should be corrected, and, if possible, removed. We have not the slightest wish to meddle, otherwise than argumentatively, with the extension of the Roman Catholic faith ; nor should we think of interfering with any arrangements which its adherents, acting simply as members of a Chris tian church, may be pleased to make among them selves for the preservation of their unity, and the pro pagation of their opinions. But that which we fear and detest, almost beyond expression, is the growth of eccle siastical influence in the direction of civil affairs. To say that we have no right to deplore and denounce a huge stride taken in this direction by an absolute government because that government does not happen to claim our own allegiance, is tantamount to shutting us out from all interest in the political development of foreign na tions. Our pretension to this degree of liberty does not require, in the present day to be defended. The adminis tration of Austria already presses more heavily on the springs of human dignity, and worth, and happiness, that that of any other civilised country in the world. The introduction of the catholic priesthood to extended in dependent power is calf ulated to make it infinitely wore not on account of their doctrines, but because the domi nation of their order is opposed to every sound theory of civil government. We s..y, as it was said by our own Cromwell on precisely a similar question, that this is a matter which touches us nearly. Can any man, who is a thoughtful politician as well as a pious Catholic, regard with approval or indifference the future condition of the Austrian states, as sketched in the Allocution of Pius IX. read in the Secret Consis tory of the 3d of November? We will not strain words to their utmost meaning, or insist on a literal interpre tation of the loc ast that, henceforth, the Catholic religion is to enjoy in Austria all the prerogatives which belong to it by virtue of the canonical constitutions. A distin guished seceder from the English establishment has shown, with admirable ingenuity and wit, that it is ' possible, by rigid reasoning on formal expressions, to convict the British constitution of upholding its own share of atrocities and absurdities. But there is no ambiguity about the fact, that the concordat repudiates and banishes " the opinion, —false, perverse, fatal, and entirely contrary to the Divine priority of rights —according to which the placeat or the cxequce tur of the civil Government should be obtained for what concerns spiritual things and ecclesiastical "affairs." Now what are included among " spiritual things" and " ecclesiastical affairs ?" There are such trifles as the validity of betrothals, marriages, and bap tisms among the faithful, the administration of all church property and patronage, the creation of new dioceses, parishes, and benefices, the imposition of punishments on all who transgress the ecclesiastical law and canonical prescriptious, the taking cognisance of the offences of clerics against the civil and criminal law, and the con trol, to a huge extent, of everything pertaining to public education. We will take this opportunity of fi ling up a statement which was inadvertently left it complete ire some remarks which we made last week. When we said that in the gymnasia, or middle-class schools, none but cat h i lk professors were to instruct in any department, it should have been added that this was spoken only of those institutions which were intended for the catholic youth. We willingly supply the omission, and hope the apologists of the wilful act of abdica tion committed by Francis Joseph will find their case reinstated in all the advantage of which we have unintentionally deprived them. It is equally true, how ever, that all private as well as public schools for catho lics are to be compulsory under the superintendence of the bishop. It is still true that in all public and private schools—and in this case there is no qualifying condi tion with reference to the faith of the pupils—the teach ing of theology is interdicted to everyone who has not received from the bishop a license which may be with drawn at pleasure. It is still true that the Government engages itself to prevent the spread of all books which archbishops, bishops, and ordinaries may point out to it as calling for suppression. On the whole, we do not find that our argument is sensibly affected. But no greater mistake could be committed than to sup pose that this monstrous clerical ururpation is only ob jected to so far as it interferes with the us enjoyent of pro testant liberty and th e spread of protestant opinions. On o inions On the contrary, it is on account of the catholic. population themselves that we protest against the sub jection of the country to the very worst kind of rule that malicious ingenuity could devisfer.omlfsowmeeaorneetwolhdothhaast sympathy, pthatahty'avwere hpmilpaeiceet, the im -1 t d h i e d r n e o a t l aver sion ihorani theygl to ot are eltti ohe n evo speaket Ritoraw conscious ohiineh n their eieeo o ier f nhd sbe r.oaeerrhqa:u. form on i f requiring i intnhglecf) it is f w fiesvr will o st r s questions. fir any one motive of our professed uneasiness, at all stages p th u i t e a n ti a o t n ie b n y re t s w is o t, of their power resisted, ecclesiastical pretensions of this and have not many others l e d xt to p le l r a a c t e e Jur a moment very kind, at a time when their hearts were still devoted p to re t t h e e nd a ancient i e b n e t l faith ev e Ltlsnetheheeen the concession of similar preroga tives to the Chur c h o f England, even if its adherents constituted as lar ma jority in the 'United Kingdom as the Catholics g f e o a rm n all but the Hungarian provinces of Austria ? The ques tion does not admit of an uncertain or confused reply. Englishmen have always been able to distinguish be tween attachment to a church aud the transference of civil authority to its ministers. We must rather wonder that any are now to be found who will contend that dif ferences of opinion on the merits of priestly government are simply referable to inequalities of religious earnest nese and zeal. It is worthy of notice that the imperial patent accom tiaeon suspends y'ng the concord a t i n th e Vi ennese o ffi c ial publica t for a ti me th e execu ti on o f th e ar ticles re lating t o C atholic schools and matrimonial causes.

She was described as of 450 tons, and to have been built at Wasa in 1848, and now moored in the West India Dock: After a spirited competition she was sold for ling AN AMERICAN RAILROAD .ACCIDENT. (Front the St. Louis Evening News, Nov. 6.) It is before us now—that terrible scene ! The moment before the long train with its load of life approached the fatal spot. Many were intently observing from the win dows the well.marked line which separates the thick tur bid waves of the Missouri from the pellucid waters of the Gasconade ; others looked out on the long bridge we were approaching, and remarked on its strength or its frailty ; an old gentleman, whom we thought unduly cautious and nervous, wished he was out, " for," said he, " I believe that bridge will break down." We glanced out of the window near us in a careless way to see the structure, and turned round again without the shadow of a fear that we were doomed not to cross it. At that moment came the destruction. We could see no thing, but we heard everything. A sharp piercing sound, as of shattered timbers, came from the front. We knew its meaning. The bridge had broken down. Then followed four; separate well-defined crashes, and our car took the inevitable plunge. At the first sound we sprang to our feet and started to run backward. It seemed as though the ruin was approaching us instead of our near ing it. Every man in the crowded car in which we were seated jumped up, as the shiver in front told of the coming danger. During those terrible moments, in which we approached the precipice, the intensest silence pre vailed. Not a word was spoken. We had made but two steps backward in the involuntary effort to avoid danger, when our time came to follow those who had gone before. Down, down, down, endlessly we seemed to go. We were not long falling, yet it seemed ages. The memory of railway accidents we had read of, and the re• flection that we were in the midst of one of frightful cha racter—the question soon to besolved whether weshould escape or be killed—the reflection that we might be killed the next moment, and the inward belief that we should not be killed at all ; a chilling thought at the idea of being crushed by a beam, or transfixed by a rod, or torn asunder by adverse forces—all these thoughts flashed across our mind while falling. Then there was a tre mendous concussion, and we found that we were on the ground, under a mass of leaning timber, which, however, did not touch us. Though in the midst of a crowd when the car commenced falling we saw no one near us on the ground. We crawled out from under the wreck, and thanked God we were safe. We sat down on a stone to recover from the shock. There was not a sound to be heard. Not a shriek, nor groan, nor cry came from the wreck. All was silent as death. After a moment we looked and listened again. Men were creeping, crawl ing, and hobbling from the shattered cars, some bolding a leg, some pressing an arm, and some clasping the head. Several sat down near us and breathed heavily, but spoke not. A man staggered by and said quietly, "My coller-bone is broken." Captain Couzens went past with a man swinging to his neck. Hie feet did not touch the ground, for his legs were broken. A wooden skenty was standing at a short distance off, and we got up and walked to it. Major King, with the blood stream ing over his face from a gash on his forehead, was trying to tear down the door. Hefinally succeeded, and we then, assisted by others who had come up, tore off the sides, so as easily to admit of the wounded being brought in. The floor was soon covered with the prostrate forms of men marked by every description of injury. One had a leg lying unnaturally bent, or an arm doubled back ward ; here was one bending his head forward, to let the blood drip from a gaping gash in his face, and there an other with his bowels protruding from a hideous wound in his body. No one complained except when those who brought in the wounded in their haste stepped on a fractured arm or disturbed a broken leg. Those suf fering victims showed no weak timidity nor selfishness. Even through their agony shone the traits of a generous manhood. No one desired to engross the attention of his friends, but all submitted without a murmur to the wretched comforts that alone could be provided. A. little boy was delirious with a wound on the head. Now he would lie moaning in the shanty, then jump up, and run into the rain with shrieks that would have made the hardest heart shudder. A considerable time elapsed after the accident before men spoke about it. They were stunned, shocked, bewildered and unstrung by the concussion, and overpowered by the overwhelm ing consciousness of the destruction they looked on. As they recovered their senses they began to talk. One knew that the man who sat next to him was killed, for a wheel had fallen on him ; another saw the man before him pierced by a huge splinter ; and another still saw the roof of a car as it crushed the life out of this or that citizen. At one part of the wreck several wounded persons could be seen directing the labours of those engaged in extricating them. One by one, as the timbers which pressed them down were cut away, they were dragged out and borne away. Under the roof of one car could be seen the protruding limbs of seven lifeless bodies, crushed to instant death as they fell. The dead were neglected. and the living sufferers alone thought of. A body which moved was brought out and placed on a log. Then it ceased to move, and a men placed his ear over the heart, bit it was pulseless. The face, chest, and neck of the dead man were discoloured, so that it could scarcely be recognised. Passers-by looked on the face and asked who it was, but could not learn. It was Mr. Chouteau. Men ran wildly about seeking friends of whose fate they were uncertain, till a motionless corpse, visible through a crevice in the wreck told the worst ; o r till those looked for were met , when a momentary gleam of joy at the meeting would light up saw the e e t the universal gloom. ,Mr. O'Sullivan stood on th e plat form of the engine to note the effect of the passage Of the bridge. H quick eye tim bers, and a consci ousness of the impendin g h orror se i ze d his mind. "My God, boys, ys ,w areyielding all ing k oi kilted," le h d, e had hardly escaped his mouth, when he went down never to rise or speak again. Several countrymen, on the oppo site shore of the river, 200 yards distant, witnessed the awful spectacle. They gazed with curious d e li g ht as th ey saw that magnific ent train sweep along the high embank. ment towards the fatal spot ; they were still staring with pleased wonder when a shudder came over them and rooted them to the spot, as the locom o ti ve wen t down, and each w hirlin g car, as it came to the abut ment, stopped not, but leaped down with its precious load of life. It was a terrible picture. THE STRIKE AT MANCHESTER. Messrs. R. Birley and Co., and six other of the firms whose hands are on strike, have put forth an address, entitled " Second Reply to the Statements of the Opera tives." In this address the masters repeat the former statement, that organised efforts, in almost every branch of factory labour, have proved a source of continual dis turbance to their establishments during past years, until in pure self-defence they have been compelled to organise also. Numerous advances have been given to the men through " Union" interference, and this in entire disre gard of the parity or otherwise of the prices demanded with those paid for similar work in the neighbourhood, so that now the inequality in the rste per 1,000 hanks for mule spinning is very great. Mules worked within eight miles of Manchester at ls. 2d. per 1,000 hanks would cost is. 90. per 1,000 in Manchester. The ope ratives say their wages average only 18s. per week, but this would be considerably increased, even at the reduced prices now offered, if they were willing to work the mules in the manner proposed by the masters. But instead of their acceding to this attempts have been made in other places to compel hands who are quite satisfied with their work and wages to give notice to leave, in order, if pos sible, to destroy the applicatio n of this system of work iYg in Manchester altogether. As respects what was urged by the operatives about the Ashton prices the manufacturers in Manchester who have closed their works would be very willing to reopen them at the pre sent Ashton list of prices. The operatives are reminded that when the advance of 1853 was conceded in Man chester the self-acting minders and piecere stated that they would consent to its withdrawal when the state of trade was reversed. We say, finally, in taking our leave of further public discussion, that when they are prepared to resume work we shall be willing to receive them, in no spirit of exultation, but in the sincere desire for better times for all parties. LILLIESLEAF.—AIso the concluding passages in the life of Mrs. Margaret Maitland, of Sunnyside, 3 vols. With pleasure we listen to Mistress Margaret Mait land, telling in her own quaint and homely, but saga cious way, some more stories of her own life and of the fortunes of the Sunnyside family. The main subject of the present tale is the domestic life of a niece of the good old lady, who is supposed to be the narrator. The characters throughout the story are well drawn, and the novel will sustain the reputation gained by the former work, of which it is a companion and a continuation.— Lit erary Gazette.

Gentlemon,—For a considerable time I have suffered severely from a violent pain in my loft side, extreme flatulency, accompanied by a n intolerable sensation of heart burn, and other disagreeable symptoms of dyspepsia. Various remedies, alleged infallible, were tried in vain, and for a long time I was never twenty-four hours without violent pain ; indeed I was unfitted for the performance of my daily duties. I was induced to try your food. In less than an hour I found relief, and my recovery was very rapid. The duties which previously had been an intolerable burden became a delight ful exercise, and I have since accomplished m ore labour with less fatigue than I ever expected to be able to perform.
