Mexico to its Consti rop an tto t h , encylic or circular letter e inha bitants of South America. It possesses considerable interest for the English Reader, as it must naturally lead the mind to the subject of Catholic Emancipation. We perceive already there are not wanting those amongst the friends of the Catholics. who would wish to construe this document in favour of their own views, and as presenting additional reasons for acceding to the claims of the Catho lics. In one point of view and one only, how ever, can it be mode to answer this purpose, and this is, that if such are the sentiments of the Mexican Catholics it might be reasonable to sup pose that such would also be the sentiments of all other Catholics ; and if the State of Mexico has nothing to fear from the POPE, the State of England has still less to apprehend. The whole bent of this document is to establish a distinction between the spiritual and temporal authority of the Pope of Rome, and whilst the former seems to be admitted the latter is most broadly denied. The denial, however, of en authority by the Government of a people is no proof that the people do not imagine such an autho rity to exist, and indeed such a declaration would, in very many cases, by the spirit of opposition alone,create a notion of the very authority the Go vernment had repelled. If the circular letter had been written by the Mexican State, and the address in reply to it by the POPE, it might have given some force to the argument, but as it is, as far as the Catholics are concerned, it can only be re garded as an unauthorised declaration, and there• fore entitled to no respect from them. Thus much for the grounds upon which this document can be taken as the manifesto of Catholics in general. But giving the Catholics the benefit of this admission, what does it amount to ? Nothing more than has been all along admitted, nothing more than the very sentiments which the op ' posers of the Catholic Claims have all along advocated and maintained. They have contended throughout for this distinction, and this once established, a necessity for the abro gation or even alteration of the oath of supremacy does not exist. This oath merely binds the deponent to the belief that the King of ENGLAND is head of his own dominions, and we really cannot think that there is any thing tyran nical, bigoted, and all the rest of the hard names usually employed on this occasion, in requiring such a declaration from a subject of that King, or in rejecting his services as an Officer of the Crown or a Legislator, if 'he should decline to make it. The Calcutta, S►vedish East Indiaman, has brought dispatches to the Court of Directors, and they announce, we understand, under date oldie 25th of May, from Calcutta, that Sir AttcninALD C!►MPBELL has entered Prome without any oppo sition from the Burmese. BuNnoor.An, the Bur mete General, had disappeared, and it was not known whither he had fled. Baron AU!EI.M VON RoTriscuir,o, Banker, has been honoured by the Grand Duke of H ESSE DA RMSTA DT with the Cross of COM malider of the second class of the Hessian Order of Merit. A Cape of Good Hope Paper, of the 12th o July, announces the expected return of Mr GROG from England, and that his Journa would be le-commenced immediately on his ar• riva I. Extract of a Letter, dated Riga, Sept. 23. " An Imperial Ukase has been prepared at St. Petersburg!' for ALEXANDER'S signature, an nouncing his intention to appoint alternately Russians and natives to fill the civil offices in Finland ; but the Baron Relibinder, Secretary of State, and the Head of the department for the affairs of Finland, residing at St. Petersburgh, has, it is said, refused,his sanction to the mea sure. The Baran, it is understood, feels no re luctance on the subject, during the continuance of the present _reign, being well aware of the conscientious manner in which the duties of a Monarch are fulfilled by . the Emperor Alexan der, but he feels that at some future time his at tempt to unite natives of both countries in the civil administration of .Finland may produce dangerous consequences. The Emperor is said to have fallen so far into the views entertained by Baron Rehbinder, as to have suspended the pro mulgation of the Ukase in question." A French Paper says- 44 In consequence of a wager made by an English Lord of the Admi ralty, with three blacksmiths, at Aix-la-Chapelle, (we believe it should be Luttich) these three individuals made 1,400 pair of horse shoes in 36 hours. Though the English Lord lost the wager he took the three men with him to be engaged by the Board of Admiralty in England." The passengers of the Thalia, hound for the settlement on the Rio de la Plata, and now lying at Cowes, have signed a Round Robin to J. T. BEAtaioNT, Esq., declaratory of their determina- tion not to proceed on the voyage unless the ac commodations and provisions are placed on a ore liberal scale. General BERTRAND, so well known by his military talents, but still more by his noble de votedness to the person of the French Em peror, is causing to be built an immense spinning manufactory in the Fauxbourg de la Madeleine, near Lisle. Some idea may be formed of the vastness of the establishment, when the building alone is estimated to cost 1,200000 francs or about 48,000!. _ Letters from ROMP, dated Sept. 20 , say, that the heat still continued to be oppressive in that capital.

THE SILK TRAnz.—The Silk Meeting of the Manufacturers of the Metropolis, for the parpose of adopting means to delay the operation of the Act which authorizes the introduction of foreign silks, upon paying of a duty of 33 per cent., has naturally attracted much public attention. It is stated by the advocates for this delay, that the silk trade is considerably depressed ; that the demand for silk goods is di minished; and that, tinder the new law, foreign silks may be sold, after payment of the legal duty, at a lower price than those of this country. Without stopping to inquire what truth there may be in part of these assertions, we will state, that the fear, as to the successful competition of French manufacturers, is one which does not rest upon solid grounds. It is quite true that the price of labour, considered with refer-nce only to the time during which workmen are employed, i s st a much lower rate in France than in England; and thus, upon abstract prin ciples, it will necessarily appear, so far as labour is concerned, the French manufacturers must undersell the English. But, if we take as a fact, that, in point of execution, the French workmen are only as three to two,compared with the English, that is to say, that it requires three French workmen to perform, in the same space of time, the same amount of labour as would be executed by two Englishmen ; and next, that the average of material power in the silk manufactures of England is superior to that of France as three to two (a result of nine to four in favour of our English production), it will strike every reflecting man that it must be impossible for the French manufacturers to pay a duty of 33 per cent. and still undersell those of this country. It is not generally known that silks of superior qualities are even now nearly'as dear in France as in England, although the demand for good silks being comparatively, greater there, that branch of the trade is more general, and therefore more open to competition. The common silks which are made in France would certainly not bear the imposition of so large a duty as. that imposed by the new act ; and there is no doubt that if Mr. fluskisson persists in the principle of free trade, the competi tion which will be excited by an increased demand will be pro ductive of great benefit to the public and to the manufacturers. —(Dublin Evening Peat.) It gives us, much pleasure to notice the introduction of a new branch of manufacture into Scotland. The silk-manu factures of this country have hitherto had to purchase all their silk yarn in a prepared state from Macclesfield and other places in England. An enterprising company have taken a portion of ,the handsome factory recently erected by Mr. Campbell, in john-street,- Bridgeton, and the preparation of silk has commenced. One of the flats is already fitted up with machinery, and another flat is fitting up, Th e machi nery is driven by a thirty-two horse, riwc , r;engine. There are nearly one hundred persorm'employed in the throwipg, winding, spinning of silk, anti all other preparations necessary to make it ready for the silk weaver. An experienced manager, from Macclesfield, is engaged to teach the learners. They are all botkud for three years. The work is very light and healthy. There are a number of very young girls engaged at it. There are sonic other factories putting up' for the same manufacture in this neighbourhood, and it promises to give employment to numbers, and do much good to this part of the country._ (Glasgow Chronicle.) TfIF. JEWS MEETING.—On Friday, the 7th inst., the first Anniversary Meeting of the Cheltenham Auxi liary Society for promoting Christianity among the Jews, was held in the Sherburne Pump Room; when the regular pro ceedings of the meeting were interrupted by the interroga tories of a Gentleman who declined giving his name. We have since learned that it was the Reverend Edward Hull, Chaplain to the Blind Asylum, at Liverpool. Whether his observations were well f oun d e d , or w h e ther they were suf., ficiently answered by the gent l eman w h o replied to 'in n , we cannot take upon - ourselves to determine. lint the result o f t h e proceedings at this numero us an d hi g hly" respectable meeting was a contribution at the doors of no less a sum than 611. 10s. 2,1 d. being more than double that of the year preceding.—( (74eu vu .. Lon Journal.) The London Dock Company have nearly corn_ pitted a wall round 14 acres of ground in Fawdon-fields, ad joining their present dock, and the excavation of seven acres of ground for additional water-room is about one-third finished— From the number of persons employed,' and the exertions which are making, it is computed that the whole of this work will.be.finished in the course of the-year 1826; and that when completed, with the buildings, additional accommodation will be afforded for 70 ships, of the average burden 'of 300 tons; for upwards of 10,000 tons of general merchandise ' • and , vault room for 10,000 pipes of wine and spirits. The Company are also proceeding rapidly in the formation or vaults within the present dock, capable of housing 0,400 pipes of wine or spirits. ANECDOTES, &c. TIANDEL.—The passages from S:ripture which form the Oratorios of this great Composer were selected by the Rev. Dr. MOW ELL, the Editor of A INsworra's Dictionary, and the Author of many works of learning and merit. The Doctor also wrote original words for some of HANDEL's Oratorios. One morning about five o'clock he was roused from his bed by HANDeL, who would not enter the house, but desired that the Doctor would answer him from his bed-room window. As soon as the latter appeared half-asleep, with his night-cap on, he asked HANDEL the reason of his sudden and unseasonable visit. " You have writ de vord billow for the Oratorio vich I don't un derstand," said HANDEL. As soon as the Doctor understood him, he told the great musician that billow meant " wave, as a wave of the sea"—" Oh, de vave," said HANDEL, and return ed quickly to toe u without offering the least apology for the untimely disturbance. Doctor iNlo FULL lived at Turnham-green. ItErd,tariAßLE DAY.—This day h remarkable as the anniversary of the death of Queen JANE SCTMOUR and birth of EDWARD the SIXTH, 1537 : of the Vigo Galleons taken by the English fleet, 170'2; of an earthquake at St. Lucia, by which near a thousand persons, were destroyed, 1788 ; and of the defeat of the French fleet off the coast of Ireland, in 1798, by Sir John Borlase Warren. HENDTAISON, THE COMEDIAN.—When llgtc 'U>;ttSON, the celebrated comedian, first made ap plication to GARRICK, and gave him " a speci men of his quality," the itoscius assured him, that he could not possibly convey articulate sounds to the audience of an,y theatre. Foote said nearly the same thing. Colman at length took lender son by the hand ; and such was the success of the man, who could not possiblyconvey an articu laded sound, that during the first thirty-four nights of his performance at the Haymarket, the net receipts were computed at no less a sum than 4,5001.! FATIlua BoultDELoT.—When the celebrated Father BOURDELOT (who has sometimes been called the French Tillotson) was to preach once on a Good-Friday, and the proper officer came to attend him to church, his servant said that he was in his study, and that if he pleased he might go up to him. In going up stairs he heard the sound of a violin, and as the door stood a little a-jar he saw Bourdelot stripped into his cassock, playing a good brisk tune, and danc ing to it about his study. He was extremely concerned, for he esteemed that great man highly, and thought he must be run di,. stracted. However, at last he ventured to rap gently at the door. The father immediately laid down his violin, hurried on his gown, came to him, and with a composed and pleasant look, said, " Oh, Sir, is it you 1' I hope 1 have not made you stay I lam quite ready to attend you." The poor man, as they were going down, could not help mentioning his surprise at what he had hearth and seen. Bourdelot smiled, and said, " Indeed you might well be a little surprised, if you don't know any thing of my way on these occasions; but the whole of the mutter was this, in thinking over the subject of the day, I found my spirits too much depressed to speak as I ought to do, so had recourse to my usual method of music and a little motion. It had its effect; lam quite in proper temper, and go now with pleasure to what I should have gone to with pain." TATERNIER.—When the celebrated traveller TAvraxrEn returned from the East he had a vast number of valuable jewels, by the sale of which he realized a considerable sum of money. Happening one day to be talking with some courtiers of Louis XIV., of the manner in which he should employ it, he said, he thought of investing it in land, in Swit zerland. The King was present, and chancing to overhear him, turned suddenly round, and asked why he did not rather think of laying it out in France ? " Because Sire," answered the sincere traveller, " I should like to be lord in my own manor." TnEATRICALs.—MATurws performs this even ing at the Theatre at Richmond, a certain portion of his last " At Home," and afterwards his fa vourite character of Anathan, in PEALE's Farce. LISTON quits the Haymarket Theatre on the 21st, to fulfil an old engagement at Birmingham, Where he will perform eight nights, and then return to tae Haymarket Theatre, until it closes on the 15th November. During LisroN's absence from town, Mr. JAmEs VINING, a new candidate for theatrical fame, in London, but who is well known at the Canterbury, Rochester, and Dover Theatres, will commence a short engagement : his first appearance will be in Octavian. Green-room report speaks favour ably of his talents. He is the bikher of Mr. VINING, of that Theatre.—The Scotch are de lighted with Miss FooTE's Lady Teazle; she has repeated the character.—Miss STEPHENS has left Manchester, where she has added to her wealth and fame ; and is now gone to succeed Miss FooTE at the modern Athens. The East india Company's quarterly sale of indigo took place yesterday ; 9,759 chests were put up, and the whole were sold. It will be seen that the price of indigo has advanced considerably. The highest price (we under stand) bid , Aas 14s. 4d., anti the average price, exceeding that of the last sale, was from 2s. to 2s. 6d. per pound. The whole quantity having been sold, and the price exceeding what was ex pected by many, we have deemed it worthy of notice. Th e Wesleyan Methodists are building four new chapels at Manchester. Carleton-Hall, near Penrith, the seat of. the Right Hon. TllomAs WALLACE, was last week offered for sale at the New Crown Inn, Penrith, hut not sold. It was 'bought in at 40,0001. Letters received yesterday (October 11), from Valencia, in Colombia, announce the death of the enterprizing pedestrian traveller Captain JOHN DUNDAS COCHRANE, which took place there on the 12th of August last, in consequence of an attack of fever. A Meeting of the Ward of Bishopsgate-street was summoned yesterday to elect a Common Councilman for the remainder of the year, in the room of Mr. DAVIES, deceased. The ‘Vardmote was held at one o'clock., in the School-house, in Peter-street, when Mr. STEVENSON was returned without opposition. On the 20th ult., according to the Hamburgh Papers, a large fire-ball, larger than the full moon , was distinctly seen at about nine in the evening, by the inhabitants at Hanover, for se veral seconds, apparently at an altitude of 20°, in the north-east part of the atmosph ere . Alto gether it was a very brilliant phenomenon, and was contemplated with much pleasure by a large portion of the inhabitants of the Hanoverian capital. THH ARMY.

CANTERBURY ' OCT. 10 .— Our last Saturday's Hop-market proved nearly a blank. Several dealers attended, and there was a fair show of samples, but no sales were made that we can quote as market price; the holders would not listen to any thing less than 251., and the merchants stood as firmly to 201. or guineas. MAIDSTONE, OCT. B.—We have very little doing in the Hop Trade, for the picking being now over, and a very &Tat fall ofFascertained every where, the planters are looking up for higlier prices, which the buyers do not at present seem inclined to give, in consequence, so few sales have been made, that we cannot quote any thing about them.

FRENCH MACHINERY.— A recent invention promises new success to French industry. A silk loom, com posed of five stages, has just been constructed at Lyons. Its mechanism is exceedingly simple, and enables. one man to weave five pieces at the same time. Commissioners from the Lyons Academy have examined this loom in the pre sence of M. Jacquart, the inventor of the one at present in use in our manufactories, and whose superiority is proved by the eagerness with which the English manufactures intro duced it into their own manufactories. That skilful me chanic thinks the new loom highly ingenious, and generously pointed out the improvement of which it was susceptible.__ The inventor's name is Lebrun. The Academy inter ds to award him a gold medal on its approaching public sitting. • It • is'needless to remark that the use of this loom will give a re turn of 400 per cent. above the present price of hand labour.— (Paris Paper.) Tl.e church plate belonging to the parish of Garsdon, near Malmesbury, and which consists of a silver (gallon) flagon, two silver (quart) chalices, and a silver salver, was for • many years kept in a box deposited ii a lumber closet in an old mansion. There was an idle tale to din the village, that a ghost had formerly laid in the box. This story was, perhaps, as useful as a double lock, since a superstitious dread of disturbing the ghost effectually de terred many from indulding their curiosity by • scrutinizing the contents of the box. Having understood, from an old man, that many years back it was reported there was some commu nion-plate at the great house, one clergyman took an oppor tunity to make inquiry about it. To the utter surprise of the people of the house, on opening the lid of the box (for the first time, perhaps, for upwards of a century), instead of seeing a ghost jump out, this valuable serviceof tarnished plate presented itself; and it was immediately taken to the vicarage house.—( Country Paper.) Many persons in India never .see money for years together, the business of receiving their monthly incomes, and of paying their household expellees, devolving upon their clerks or de. pendants. Indeed, the trouble of studying do mestic ways and means, were it necessary, would be insupportable. Life there is too fragile and unenergetic to be disturbed by disquieting calcu lations and provident anxieties about the future. To the fatigue of living it would not do to add that of contriving how to live. FATAL ACCIDENT.—A bout four o'clock yester day afternoon, one of the labourers attending on the men employed in stuccoing the front of the ex• tensive premises of Mr. Blades, glass-manufacturer,. on Ludgate-hill, while in the act of descending a ladder from the second door, fell on the pavement and fractured his skull in a most dreadful man• ner. lie was immediately placed on a shut ter, and conveyed to Saint Bartholomew's Hos. pital ; but so great was tile haemorrhage, that he died on the way. The catastrophe was completely the effect of an accident, as no fault could be attributed •to the erection of the scaffolding. Had the unfortunate man fallen in.. side, in all probability his life would have been saved, as tarpaulings had been laid down to pre. vent any accident to the passengers. It is a fact worthy of notice, that a number of individuals were passing at the time, who fortunately es. , caped receiving any lupus
