2.ETE NAVY. The Warrior, 40, screw, Capt. the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., steamed out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday at 3 p.m.,anchoring at Spithead,and taking in the chains of the Edgar's anchors, which had been slipped from that ship on her going into harbour the previous day; By these moorings she will swing for the adjustment of her compasses, and make fast to them in the intervals between her trips under steam and trials of speed. She has been filled up with coals to 900 tens, of the kind used in the Victoria and Albert Royal yacht, during her late voyages to the Mediterranean and elsewhere, and which have been reperted upon in an unusually favourable manner both by the Capt. the Hon. J. Denman, commanding she yacht, and by the heads of the engineering iepartment of Portsmouth dockyard. The Edgar, 89, screw, flagship of Rear-Admiral J. C. Erskine. was placed in No. 10 dock, at high water yesterday for examination and repair. In addition to her loss of canvass in the late gale, she also lost two cf her quarter boats. The Conqueror was also so terribly knocked about by the gale that 500 men were at one time engaged on her lower deck in baling out the water. The Java sailing frigate, 1,458 tons, built at Devenport in 1814, is being stripped of her copper and fittings in No. 1 dock at Portsmouth, for the purpose of serving as a target-ship to the Excellent in future iron-plate testing experiments, &c. The Handy, 2, screw gunboat, Lieutenant-Com. 'Glover, sailed from Spithead yesterday for Devon port, whence she will sail for Sierra Leone, in corn pang with the Orestes, 21, screw, Capt. A. Gardner, entering upon her duties on arriving on the station as tender to the Arrogant flagship. The Ellen and Coquette transport vessels, in the service of the War Department, have shipped cargoes of guns and military stores from Woolwich Arsenal for Malta and Corfu. The Ellen yester day left Woolwich pier for Deptford to fill in with naval stores, and the Coquette will sail direct from Woolwich. The War Department transport Baltic completed landing at the Ordnance-wharf, Chatham, yester day, 400 cases of 100-pounder Armstrong segment shells, 200 boxes of 100-pounder Armstrong solid shot, 100 boxes of 20-pounder shot, together with a number of carriages and slides brought from Wool wich for the Armstrong guns landed at Chatham. The Baltic also brought a number of the 32-pounder and 8-inch guns from the Chesapeake, 51, Captain Maguire, at the Nore, the remainder of which will be shipped on board the War Department transport Marlborough, and landed at Chatham. It appears from the official return recently pub lished that during the last three months nine new vessels of war have been completed at the various dockyards, viz„ two at Chatham—the Ganymede and the Rattlesnake, the former of 400 horse-power and carrying 22 guns, and the latter of 400 horse power and carrying 21 guns ; two at Woolwich— the Hyperion, of 800 horse-power and carrying 26 guns, and the Pegasus, of 200 horse-power and carrying 7 guns ; two at Deptford—the Circassian, of 200 horse-power and carrying 17 guns, and the Portia, of 80 horse-power and carrying 5 guns ; at Jarrow, Newcastle-on-Tyne, the Defence, of 600 horse-power and carrying 16 guns; at Pembroke the Perseus, of 200 horse-power and carrying 17 guns ; and at Devonport the Cynthia, of 150 horse power and carrying 11 guns. During the same time seven new vessels have been commenced, viz., at Portsmouth the Bruiser and the Cromer ; at Mill wall the Dromedary and the Tamar ; at Blackwell the Orontes ; at Chatham the Salamis; and at Davenport the Royalist. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander J. Edye, to the Impregnable; J. Gordon, promoted to first-class assist.-engineer in the Curlew ; W. J. Foster, pro moted to first-class assist-engineer in the Pelican ; Charles Mobberly, promoted to first-class assistant en;.-ineer, supernumerary, in the Asia; It. Dixon, promoted to first class assist.-engineer in the Ariel ; J. Patterson, promoted to first-class assist.-engineer in the Scourge ; W. Fenton (a), promoted to first class assist.-engineer in th© Centurion ; J. F. More ton, promoted to acting first-class assist.-engineer in the Victor Emmanuel ; Arthur Moreton, pro moted to acting first-class assistant-engineer in the Waterman ; Francis E: Whalley, master's assist., to the Arrogant, for the Handy ; Henry Hodg - e, assist.-paymaster, to the St. Vincent ; W. assist.-paymaster, to the Excellent; C. S. Marsh, clerk, to the Virago; and E. B. Nettelton, clerk, to the Formidable. THE A]e 11 1 An important circular has just been issued from 'the 'War-office by Sir G. C. Lewis, Secretary of State for War, establishing a Dew code of rules tor the regulation of military savings banks. A mili tar; savings bank is now to be maintained in every regiment and depot of regular cavalry and infantry, and in the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers. Officers commanding troops, companies, batteries, and detachments are directed to receive such sums as the soldiers under their command may from time time desire to deposit in the military savings bank. i The maximum of each soldier's deposit upon which interest will be allowed is limited to 1.:30 (exclusive of interest added) in any one year, and to £2OO in the whole, exclusive of interest added. The rate of interest allowed upon deposits will be £3 15s. per cent. per annum'; but no interest will be allowed upon any other part of a pound sterling than 6s. Bd. and 13s. •Id., nor upon any sums that shall not have remained in deposit at least one month. No soldier will be allowed to deposit a smaller sum than:ls. in the military savings bank. A soldier having money in a public savings bank must withdraw such de posit before he will be allowed to make a deposit in a military savings bank. Gratuities awarded to sol diers for long service and good conduct, or for dis tinguished service in the field, are to be invested in the military savings banks, but only under special authority from the War-office. When a non-com missioned officer, having money in the savings bank, shall be promoted to a commission, he may, if he wish to do so, leave his savings bank balance in the hands of the public, but he cannot be allowed interest thereon beyond the last day of the month prior to the date of his promotion. Upon the dis charge of a soldier his deposits may remain at in terest in the military savings bank for a period not exceeding six 'months, after which time interest shall cease. A soldier convicted by a court-martial of desertion shall forfeit to the public all moneys which he may have in the military savings bank, and su c h f orfe i ture shall only b e rem i tted b y the Secretary at War. At the death of a soldier in terest on his deposits shall cease from the day of monthly settlement next after his death. The cap tain of each troop or company that the deposits he receives will be responsible entered . he pays are duly e n m each man's account in the ledger of his tro o p or o in command, the officer second and the officer company n ny command, ; o h mmand, and the adjutant will be responsible for correctness of the savings bank ledger, whi c h i s to be prepared in the orderly room under their direction. During ac tive operations in the field, or W h enever circum stances may render it impracticable to att en d to the details of the savings banks, the general officer in command is empowered to direct their temporary suspension ; but all sums then actually in deposit will continue to - bear interest in the usual manner, and such suspension is to be immediately reported to the Secretary for War. The above regulations are to take effect from the :31st of August, 1361, and subject to any further alterations that may be made under 22d and 23d Vic., cap. 20, are to be the only regulations in force as to military savings banks. The discharge from the army of time-expired and invalid troops sent to Chatham from India, the co lonies, and the several military home stations, still continues at that garrison, the number of men dis charged from the service having averaged nearly 100 of all tanks, weekly, for some time past. Yes terday 70 men of various cavalry and infantry regi m.ents, 'post of them at home stations, left the inva lid depot, St. Mary's, where they had been pre viously inspected by a Board of Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital. Several of the men discharged *were ver y Young- Some of them had only been a short time in hospital before the order arrived for their absolute discharge prom _berm quitting om the service. Each man Chatham receiyed his arrearo of pay) in addition to which pensions were awarded to most of them according to their periods of service. With the exception of certain corps, such as Abe Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, and Royal Marines, and a few foot regiments, recruiting fc,r the army is entirely suspended. A rural fete was held last week at Little Heath, near Woolwich, by permission of Col. Sir Thomas M. Wilson, in order to obtain some pecuniary re lief for the widow of Private Bradshaw, accidentally shot some time ago in Plumstead marshes while marking for the Volunteers. The committee state that the sum received, after defraying all expenses, is £75 Bs. 3d. ; they express their regret that, owing to the unfavourable state of the weather, the amount realized by the fete did not approach their expectations. Capt. Watson, Paymaster of the Royal Marines at Woolwich, has consented to re. ceive any donations which may be forwarded for their disposal. Major-General Windham left Norfolk yesterday en route for India. He only recently returned to England, and resumes his command of the Lahore division without anticipating a stay in India of more than a year. The Lahore division has been, unfor gunately, greatly reduced by sickness, but its esti- Mated strength is about 12,000 or 13,000 men of all ranks. The Royal Marine Infirmary at Woolwich having been thoroughly surveyed by the Sanitary Com mittee, and pronounced fit for the reception of in- N'alids, the transfer of the patients from the old hospital commenced yesterday, when 83 Marines and 34 seamen, 47 of whom are convalescent, took possession of the new establishment. The old hospital is to be converted into officers' quarters and offices required for the barrack establishment. LIVERPOOL MERCANTILE MARINE ASSOCIATION. The monthly meeting of this Association was held on Wednesday in the Association Rooms, Water-street ; Capt. B. Sproule presiding. Among those present were—Capt. W. 0. Campbell (deputy chairman), B. J. Thompson (secretary), John Olive, Joseph Cornforth, H. R. Cumming, Henry Oakley, Henri Ponsonby, Samuel Gale, J. C. S. Braddon, E. M‘Nevin, Eldred Mordaunt, W. T. Marsden, Donald M‘Phirs, Capt. Lamont, Capt. Collyer, W. S. Tyrer, W. P. Gunnyon, I. R. Cameron, Mr. T. Dobson, 8.A., of the school frigate Conway, H. J. Ward, A. Macdonald, John Miller, W. Henderson, John Black, Richard Green, and John Payne. The Secretary read the following report : " The Council has now to report to the members and associates its proceedings during the months of July, August, and September. " The President of the Board of Trade withdrew his motion to introduce a Bill into the House of Commons for the amendment of the Merchant Shipping Act, but he has pledged himself to the in troduction of such a measure early in next session. Owing to this the attention of the Council has been chiefly directed to maturing the various measures in connexion with the objects of the Association which have on former occasions been announced to be in progress. It has also taken steps to place before every member of the service, both on his arrival here and on leaving Liverpool, the benefits and ad vantages of the Association. " The Act for allowing merchant officers to hold commissions in the Royal Naval Reserve received the Royal assent last session. The Admiralty have stated that they will do everything in their power to render the regulations agreeable to the officers of the merchant navy, and the Council is now in communication with their Lordships upon the subject. " The committee for the management of the school frigate Conway have made their annual report to the Council. It has been approved, and the follow ing gentlemen have been recommended as the nau tical members of the committee for the current year : —Captains James Anderson, Gilmore, J. Brown, 0. Campbell, J. Carnforth, C. H. E. Judkins D. B. Marton, C. Semple, R. Green, B. Sproule, G. Ham lin, and C. Tougell. The report of the committee has been so extensively circulated that the Council does not feel it necessary to enter in detail into the subjects of which it treats. It is much gratified by the success of the institution, and has recorded that its best thanks are due to the committee for the very effectual manner in which they have conducted the school frigate durine , the past year, and the high position in which they have placed it as a prac tical nautical school. The Council is also gratified to be informed that, in consideration of its success, the Admiralty have placed the Winchester at the disposal of the committee. She is a vessel larger and in every way more suitable for a training ship, and on being completed and taking her station she will I assume the name of the Conway. It may also he of I interest to members to learn that the Board of Trade have made an order allowing two years on board the Conway to reckon as a year of the pupil's sea time. " His warship the Mayor has forwarded to the rooms of the Association some copies of popular charts which have been prepared by the Admiralty, and which are intended to be issued with such others as are most likely to be required for the mercantile marine, at very reduced rates of charge. The Council i will be glad to receive any suggestions respecting I these charts, and as to any others which members may consider are required. Upon the representation of the Council, a merchant captain, whose certificate 1 of competency was cancelled by the Board of Trade for 12 months, has been granted an immediate cer -1 tilcate as first mate. " The Council has again, at the instance of members,bi ought under the attention of the Board of Trade the inconvenience resulting from the seizure of vessels, especially steamers, for small quantities of tobacco being found secreted on board. The Board of Trade has not expressed any opinion on the subject, but has forwarded an extract from a communication it has received from the Commis sioners of Customs, in which they say, We are of opinion that the power of placing a vessel under detention is the best security the Crown possesses for the exercise of due vigilance on the part of the master, inasmuch as the knowledge that he cannot obtain the release of the vessel without a written application being made either to us or to the collec tor of the port is a great inducement to make a search previous to arrival for articles likely to he smuggled, and that, were it not for this induce ment, the search would be merely a nominal one.' " The Council are, however, of opinion that the state of the law in regard to these seizures is vexa tions and inconvenient, and that any small apparent advantage which the Crown gains is more than counterbalanced. The ship being responsible has a tendency to make the officers of Customs less anxious than they otherwise would be to trace out the real offender; and, further, the mode in which the fines and proceeds of tobacco found are dealt with, by giving Customs officers a direct pecuniary interest in the seizure, places temptations in the way of persons to whom even these small amounts must be inconsistent, the Council conceives, with the public administration of justice. " The prospectus for the bazaar which is to be held in aid of the benevolent fund, and for the ereetion of a proper building for the purposes of the Association, has been widely circulated; contributions to some extent have been re ceived, and the Council is aware that many members are exerting themselves to carry out the scheme in a manner which will be worthy of the high patronage which has been given to it. This is a matter in which every member and every friend of the service can assist, and the Coun cil earnestly trusts all will join heartily and at once in making it, as it ought to be, a great success. The assurance of the lives of members and the formation of a provident fund, to provide against those pain ful cases of accident and want which have too often come before the Council, and which are inseparably associated with a seafaring career, have also con tinued to engage the attention of the Council. It hoped to have been able now to report some progress in reference to them, but the inquiries which had to be made, as well as other circumstances which need not here be allud e d t o , h ave , h owever , d e l aye d the se important m a tt ers l onger t h an t h e C ounc il wished.

" 10, Water-street, Liverpool, Oct. 8." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the confirmation of the report, could not but feel gratified at the pro ' gress the Association was making. The influence of the Association was proved by the number of merchants and shipowners (about 50) who had joined it since April last. In every seaport that he had been in he had heard the Association spoken of as a most valuable and thriving institution; and in London, where there was great influence brought to bear, great efforts were being made to establish a school ship on the model of the Liverpool train ing vessel, the Conway. The Government also highly appreciated the Association. He and others went to London to see the Admiralty, and instead of having to wait about for some hours to see the Secretary, they were ushered into the presence of the Duke of Somerset, who received them most cordially, and said he would give the Association any ship suitable for the purpose of a school ship. (Applause.) His lordship said he looked upon that school ship in the Mersey as one destined to become not only of great service to the mercantile marine but to the Royal Navy also. (Applause.) He was glad to say that on the previous evening the Liter ary and Philosophical Society had resolved to admit 25 members of the Association free of charge, with the object of those gentlemen bringing to bear the information that they had acquired abroad. This showed that the position of members of the Asso ciation was appreciated, and it was hoped that they would contribute what they could to science. In reference to the bazaar, which was very highly spoken of, it would be necessary to increase very considerably the funds of the Association before it could carry out its intended charitable movements ; and he was glad to say that a great number of ladies, in different parts of the kingdom, whom lie might never see again, had signified their intention to contribute articles for the bazaar. Captain CAMPBELL seconded the motion. The motion was carried unanimously, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. TEE POPE'S ALLOCUTION. The following is the allocution delivered by the Pope at the secret consistory held at Rome, on the 30th ult.:— " Venerable Brethren—Each of you May remem ber with what heartfelt grief we have frequently deplored before you the numerous and lamentable evils caused to the Apostolic Church, to the Apostolic See, and to ourselves, to the great detriment of civil society, by the Piedmontese Government and by the authors and abettors of that disastrous rebellion, particularly in the unfor tunate provinces of Italy, which that same Go vernment has usurped with as much injustice as violence. At the present time, among the innu merable and still more serious wounds inflicted incessantly on our holy religion by that same Go vernment, and by the men who form part of a detestable conspiracy, we have to weep over our dear son, your illustrious colleague, the vigilant Archbishop of Naples, renowned for his piety and his virtue, whom you now see here present, and who seized by soldiers, was torn from his flock to the great grief of all right-minded men. Every one knows how the satellities of that Government and of that rebellion, full of ignorance and deceit, have renewed the attacks and the fury of the ancient heretics, and giving way to all their rage against holy things, endeavour to completely overthrow, if it were ever possible, the Church of God and the Catholic religion ; to wrest from every soul its salu tary doctrine, and to excite and inflame every bad passion. " All laws, human and divine, have been trampled under foot ; all ecclesiastical censures set at nought; the bishops, with an audacity which every day increases, expelled from their dioceses and even thrown into prison ; the majority of the faithful have been deprived of their pastors ; the regular ' and secular priests borne down by bad treatment and subjected to all kinds of injustice ; religious congregations destroyed ; the members expelled from their houses and reduced to the most complete indigence; virgins devoted to God obliged to beg their bread; the most venerated temples despoiled, profaned, and changed into dens of robbers; sacred property pillaged; ecclesiastical authority and jurisdiction violated and usurped, and the laws of the Church despised and trampled under foot. Schools of false doctrine have been established, libels and infamous journals, the offspring of dark ness, have been distributed in every place at an enormous expense by a criminal conspiracy. Per nicious and abominable writings attack our holy faith, religion, piety, honesty, modesty, honour, and virtue, and overthrow the true and unshakable rules of eternal and natural law of public and private rights ; the legitimate liberty and pro perty of every one is attacked ; the foundations of family ties and of civil society are ruined ; the reputation of every virtuous person is blackened by false accusations, and the impunity of all vices and of all errors is every day more and more nourished, propagated, and increased. " There is no one who has not seen what a de plorable suite of calamities, crimes, and misfortunes have been scattered over unfortunate Italy by this great and criminal rebellion ; for, to use the words of the Prophet, ' By swearing, and lying, and com mitting adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.'—(Hosea iv., 2,) " Yes, the sad heart is seized with horror ; words are wanting to depict the greater part of the towns of the kingdom of Naples, burnt and destroyed ; a considerable number of virtuous priests, monks, and citizens of all age, sox, and condition, without ex cepting even those consumed by disease, charged with the most shameful outrages, thrown into prison or put to death in the most barbarous man ner, without even the form of a trial. " And who would not be illed with the most profound sadness at seeing these men, these frantic rebels, without any respect for sacred Ministers, for the dignity of Bishop or Cardinal, without any re spect for us, for this Apostolic See, for the sacred temples, and for justice and humanity, spread everywhere ruin and devastation. " And who are those who act thus? Men who do not blush to affirm with the most brazen impu dence that they wish to give liberty to the Church, and to restore the moral sense of Italy ! Nay, they are not even ashamed to demand of the Roman Pontiff to acquiesce in their unjust desires, in order to prevent greater evils from falling on the Church. " But what causes us the greatest sorrow, vene rable brethren, is that several members of the secular and regular clergy, some of whom hold ecclesiastical dignities, being miserably led away by a fatal spirit of error and rebellion, and, for getful of their vocation and their duties, have gone astray from the path of truth, have given their assent to the designs of the impious, and have become, to the great regret of well-conducted people, a stumbling-block and a scandal. "To all these misfortunes, which we deplore, a new affliction has been added. In the States of Mexico, some men not less criminal and animated by a similar hatred against the Catholic Church, have (setting an example never before seen) not feared to promulgate laws the most unjust and the most hostile to the power, rights, and doctrines of the Church. They have pillaged ecclesiastical pro perty, despoiled the altars, persecuted members of the clergy and of religious orders, driven away the virgins consecrated to God, and after outraging bishops have dragged them from their flocks and sent them into exile. Almost all these victims have come into our city, and have given us great consolation, by the display of the virtues which they possess in a high degree. " And that is not all. In another part of Ame rica, in New Granada, a short time ago, perturba tors of public order, after having possessed them set Il i vemexiseuraoclfi exercise ch itsree et t,u s u ft oh p ro r b e ri m idt yd e i without n a g u t t h h o e r ecclesiasticali t y , the promulgated permission and d a r b e i e v r i s l o G f o t v h e e r n e m e l e e n b t r . a t e They o m h p a a v n e y d is o - I. epoenrsseedntthoef members Jesus, which has rendered such great services to religion and society ; and, moreove r , they com pelled the Legate of the H o l y See to leave their , , territory within the space d o futtrre4ebdi " b presence of ouch c ay : . ;rtiirow of divine and human things, you will e4sily under stand, venerable brethren, all the bitterness of our sorrow. But in the midst of this pain and anguish, which we could never support without special as sistance from God, it is for us a supreme consolation to see the admirable religion, the 'virtue, and the courage of our venerable brethren, the bishops of Italy, and of all the Catholic world. These vene rable brethren, attached to us and to the chair of Peter, by the closest ties of faith, charity, and respect, not allowing themselves to be intimidated by any peril, and fulfilling their ministry to the im mortal honour of their name and order, do not cease, both by tongue and by writings full of wisdom, to defend with intrepidity the ca use o f G od, that of his Holy Church, and of this Apostolic See, its rights, its doctrines, the cause of justice and huma nity; neither do they cease to watch with the greatest care over the faith of their flock, to refute the false and erroneous doctrines of hostile men, and courageously to resist their impious efforts. We do not feel less joy in seeing in what a striking manner the faithful priests and populations of Italy, and of all the Christian universe, walk in the steps of their prelates, and glorify themselves more and more by publicly manifesting towards us and this Apostolic See their love, their respect, and their admirable zeal in professing and defending our most holy religion. " And as our venerable brethren, their clergy, and the faithful see clearly the extreme embarrass ments in which we are placed by the spoliation of the greater part of our civil domain, they believe also that nothing is more meritorious for them, more glorious, more religious, than to lighten with the most ardent zeal, by their pious and sponta neous donations, these very grave embarrassments and those of the Holy See. the most earnest thanksgi v i ng to t h e G o d o f a ll " Thus, while offering up i n a ll h um ili ty o f sou l consolation, who deigns, by that remarkable piety and generosity of the episcopacy and of the faith ful, to give us alleviation and strength in the midst of our grief and bitterness, we are happy to be able to again express in the face of the world our feel ings of deep gratitude, since it is from their support and their co-operation that we derive the power of being able to meet the enormous and increasing charges of the Holy See. " And here, venerable brethren, we cannot pass over in silence the constant testimonies of real affec tion, of unflinching fidelity, of devoted submission, and of generous liberality, which this Roman people have lavished on us ; a n d we w i s h a l so t o point o u t how much they rem a i n fi rm l y a tt ac h e d t o us , t o thi s Apostolic See, and to the temporal power which belongs to us, and with what warmth they repel and condemn the guilty attempts of those who seek to spread disturbance among them. Have not yon yourselves, venerable brethren, frequently wit nessed the sincere and cordial manifestations by which this Roman people, whom we so much love, have shown the sentiments of their traditional faith, of that faith which so justly merits the highest praise. " As we have the Divine promise that our Saviour Jesus Christ will be with his Church to the end of time, and that the gates of hell shall not prevail again s t it, we are assur ed that God will not fail in his word, and that a day of won ders will arrive when God will show that this for midable tempest has not been raised to sink the vessel of the Church, but to raise her still higher." " In the meantime, let us not cease, venerable brethren, to invoke with all our hearts the all powerful patronage of the Holy and Immaculate Virgin Mary ; let us pray and entreat night and day, by the most fervent supplications, the merci ful God, whose nature is goodness itself, whose power is equal to His will, and whose works are full of mercy, that he will shorten as much as possible the days of temptation; that He will hold out His right hand to the civil and Christian society so cruelly tried, and shower on all the treasures of His grace and of His mercy ; that He will con vert all the enemies of the Church and of the Holy see, and bring them back to the paths of justice ; that His all-powerful influence will have the effect I of dissipating all errors and doing away with all impiety, and that thus His holy religion, in which resides the principle of the felicity and even of the temporal peace of nations, may live and flourish more and more over the whole earth." FATHER PASSAGLIA'S WORK ON THE ROMAN Q tTESHON. The following is an analysis of the chief passages of the very important work on the Roman ques• tion, which is now exciting so much attention in Rome itself, and which has called forth the unmea sured indignation of the Pontiff:— " Who does not see (Father Passaglia observes) that the Italian people are hastening to that un happy situation in which there is eminent danger, not trifling, but very serious danger ; that a vast number of Italians, either by open and corporeal, or by secret and spiritual separation, become re moved from the paradise of the Church, and leave the Church itself deprived of its most chosen sons ? Already a great part of the clergy are in open dis cord with the majority of the laity; already almost all the shepherds are separated from their flocks, whilst the shepherd of shepherds, the successor of Peter, the venerable Vicar of Christ on earth, hurls against the kingdom of Italy, and against Italian society, the dread thunderbolt of his censures. One might be tempted to believe that of the double power to bind and to loose, our bishops now retain the first alone, such concord do they exhibit in con demning, repelling, execrating whatever the whole nation desires and is striving to obtain. - Wherefore this spectacle ? Are the Italians renouncing the doc trines of our orthodox faith ? No; on the contrary, they all revere that faith, and observe its rites in the most minute particulars. Are they assailing the rights of their legally constituted bishops in all that relates to sacred and religious matters ? On the con trary, they all agree in professing for those rights the reverence which is their due. Do they despise the supreme and spiritual authority of the Pontiff? iitnnogtthht the attempt esseearh n e t t i gh f o n et e y z e e b d s I:poenirokidnwhiche every o w Christ? f a a s s r , OeFane Free ret f he r e o edc m the oou i tntrh. contrary, erh D ac rih o nyu t they bc e Fhy y rb a pey t ert proclaiming lt k eaa it p t me h r ,i e: difficultfotthey epy q e u ar e ce s et : u i questions; even repelled e l they protest by all the means in their power that secondpevoesnspossible lheo and muge ha third n they will preserve the Catholic faith." In the opening part of his treatise Passaglia reminds the bishops of the divine duties to which their mission is limited ; and he then goes on to prove, with a clearness, w ith a f orce o f argument, with an array of patriotic authorities, absolutely leaving no hope of reply, that the Roman Catholic bishops, by their addresses, by their pastoral letters to the clergy and their flocks respecting the tem poral authority of the Popes, have betrayed their duty, and have furnished the world an occasion of gross scandal. The preaching of the Gospel, the teaching of Christian morality, the inculcation and example of Christian love, these constitute the legi timate tasks of bishops, ministers of God ; whatever goes beyond these is wrong. But to stir up by the deeds which we all deplore, especially during the last three years, war amongst Christians, to create deplorable and atrocious dissensions, to furnish the occasion of a religious schism which the Church must weep over to the end of time—this is a truly deplorable course of action, and on that can never be sufficiently condemned. It is an act for which God, at His day of judgment, will assuredly summon the perpetrators to render a terrible account. In truth, the Church consists only in the clergy and their flock's. If the clergy remain isolated, if it drive away the flocks, and if the latter finally leave the clergy because they find themselves treated as enemies, where is the Church ? Does it not altoge• ther disappear ? The unity of the Church is not possible without mutual concord, An anti-national clergy is a contradiction in terms. The clergy can never go hand in hand with the people unless its members confine themselves to their own lawful sphere, unless they cease to assail the rights of the people, unless they desist from menacing and com bating national hopes and liberties, unless they again place their true greatness in the work of a religious apostleship. l'AZgAgligt accordingly conchlaQ4 that tho A 141194 rity of the Roman Catholic bishops on subjects un connected with moral and theological doctrine pos sesses no importance whatever ; that the chief end of that authority, by divine institution, is to preserve the unity of the separate churches in the Catholic Church, and to combat schisms and heresies. " The general institution of bishops, and the special in stitution of the Supreme Pontiff, of the bishop of bishops, pointed, and will always point, through the grace of Jesus Christ to this, that the unity of the churches in the Catholic Church shall always flourish, and shall remain victorious over heresies and over schisms." Is this unity fostered by the bishops who Chas* away their flocks, who insult them, who treat them as heathens and as publicans ? " Utique," exclaims Passaglia, "die et nocte plorabo interfectos filios populi mei, nec antea conquescam a gemitu quam in Italia universa, populos inter prwsulesque foodus Christiana✓ pacis, ccelo terraque, plaudentibus, fauste feliciterque sanciatur." But the Catholic bishops (adds Passaglia) display hostility to the kingdom of Italy for two reasons— for the alleged injustice by which lawful sovereigns have been stripped of their dominions, for the alleged impiety by which the Roman Pontiff has been deprived of his temporal sovereignty. Pas saglia hereupon asks, who has given to the bishops the authority to erect themselves into the judges of the peoples and of the princes of the earth ? Their authority was not conferred for earthly, but for heavenly purposes. And resting on the autho rity of St. Barnard, so frequently quoted in this controversy, he observes—" I have read that the Apostles were brought up to be judged, but I have never read that they assumed the character of judges." Then drawing from his theological armoury more than 300 decrees of the Church, he lays it down that both the Supreme Pontiff and the bishops are wholly incompetent to pronounce an opinion on the legitimate or illegitimate character of any temporal sovereignty. Passing on then to the con sideration of the kingdom of Italy and of its con stitution, he proclaims and maintains that the con stant and immutable rule of the Church has been to recognise de facto governments. He sums up his theory in the following words :—" The good of the Church, the salvation of souls, and the duties pre scribed by God to all pastors, urgently demand that political dissensions and controversies respect ing human and civil rights be laid aside, that peace be stipulated between the Church and all de facto governments—all that can show possession in their favour ; that to none of them be denied any of the things by which Christian communion may grow up and flourish." This rule, he says, was laid down by different councils, and by very many supreme pontiffs, as late as the celebrated bull of Gregory XVI. of Aug. 6, 1831, in which it is fully deve loped and confirmed. From these rules and laws the holiest Pontiffs did not depart, even in very ancient times; and, amongst other examples, Passaglia quotes that furnished by the history of St. Gregorl , the Great and of the Emperor Phocas. Phocas had put to death the Emperor Maurice and all his male children, namely, Theodosius (who was already crowned), and his colleague in the empire, Tiberius, Peter, and Paul, likewise a brother of Maurice, and other native citizens. Nevertheless, Pope St. Gre gory the Great, respecting the will of God, " which changes times and transfers kingdoms," caused the portrait of the usurper to be placed in the Lateran Basilica and in the oratory of San Cesario, and, in recognising him as his lord, addressed to him letters full of humanity and charity. He augured for the empire the freedom which confers happiness on peoples, and concluded his 45th letter with these words " Considerare sum gaudiis et magnis actioni bus gratiarum libet, qnantas omnipotenti Deo laudes debemus, quod remoto jugo tristithe ad libertatis temporat sub imperiali benignitativestra pietate per venimus." Such examples will perhaps call forth astonishment and contempt in those members of the clergy who, puffedup by ignorance, are unable to read the explanation of the like laws in Christian society. They are founded on the principle that the soldiers of Christ ought not to mix themselves up in the profane things of the world. This principle, on which depends the preservation or the ruin of the Church, was thoroughly understood in our age by Monsignor'' tibour, Archbishop of Paris, who, in a , celebrated pastoral letter to his clergy, said that the ministers of the Lord would escape all sccial tern pests, and would be encircled by universal venera tion, only by embracing, in Christ's name, all man kind with equal love, only by keeping aloof from all revolutions, only by eschewing all worldly politics. Passaglia remarks that it is very painful to be able to furnish no answer to those who inquire, " Why the bishops of Hungary and of Poland side with the people, whilst those of Italy are opposed to them ; and why the bishops of France acknowledge the validity of universal suffrage, whilst they reject it in Italy ?" " But," says Passaglia, " the Pontiff has pro nounced his famous non possumus, and the bishops only follow the example of the Pope. A futile argument. The Papal declarations to which the non possunaus refers do not touch the dogmas, are not derived from the holy writings or the traditions of the Church. They are not obligatory, therefore; they are liable to change, therefore ; one must, con sequently, hope that, with the view of averting the immense calamities by which religion is menaced, the Pontiff will see the danger of confounding ob stinacy with firmness, and will return to better counsels, and that to obtain this result the prayers of the bishops will be united to remind the common father of the course which his holy predecessors fol lowed, and which the exigencies of religion now require. I Because the Italian people is now so constituted that, without universal disturbance and extreme injury to civil and ecclesiastical society, neither the former state of matters can be restored, nor can the course of events be arrested, still less can the politi cal unity of the nation be delayed. To no purpose is the objection of oaths put for ward. These have no validity, nor can they be main tained when in direct contradiction with the welfare of society ; they are of impossible execution when a superior force prevents their fulfilment ; they were not instituted to be a bond of iniquity. Such is the language held respecting them by St. Angus. tin, And the special oaths taken by the Pontiffs to maintain the integrity of the Papal States were merely instituted by Pius V., and Urban VII., to prevent the Popes from making donations of their States to their bastard sons and to their unworthy nephews. Father Passaglia then passes on to the theory of a free Catholic Church in a free state—a solution of the question accepted by him with unmingled gladness. He then terminates his inquiry by the passages already given in a previous notice. THE MAD BULL AT CHELSEA.—We are glad to learn that the injuries received by upwards of 20 persons attacked by a mad bull on Tuesday last in Battersea and Chelsea are in no case likely to prove fatal. Miss Emma Stephens, a young lady of 17, residing in Camera-square, Chelsea, is the greatest sufferer. She was overtaken by the infuriated animal in Park-road, Little Chelsea, knocked down, and tossed twice in a frightful manner. She was then rescued by the crowd of 300 persons who were in pursuit of the animal. Miss Stephens was lifted from the ground in an insensible state, and placed on a stretcher, and removed to her residence. She remained insensible until the follow ing day. She is severely cut in the head, shoulder, neck, and ankle, but is gradually recovering. Yesterday she was much better. David Eagle, another sufferer, was attacked in the same street. He was chase round a cab several times, and finally knocked down and trampled upon. Four of his ribs and his collar-bone were broken. He was removed to St. George's Hospital, and is now out of danger. Thomas Lloyd, knocked down and tossed, and afterwards taken to the same place, was so far recovered yesterday as to obtain his discharge. No information has been procured concern ing the soldier who was gored on Battersea-bridge. All the others injured are rapidly recovering.

MANSFIELD, THURSDAY. Four years ago a bey named John Wesley Atkin son, 8 years of age, was found murdered in a field near Nottingham Forest, a mile and a-half from Nottingham. Previous to the murder the lad had on a pair of new boots, but when the body was found these had been taken off the boy's feet, and the stealing of the boots appeared at the time to be the only motive for the murder, which had been caused by strangulation. A gipsy was apprehended at the time, but the companion of the murdered boy, who was present when Atkinson went away with a strange man, could not identify the gipsy as the person, but stated that he last saw his com panion with a man with red hair and whiskers. This man decoyed the boy under pretence of giving him half-a-sovereign to show him the way to New Basford, near Nottingham, and he was not seen alive afterwards. A few days ago the wife of a man named Henry Wilson, living at Mansfield had quarrelled with her husband, and it came to the knowledge of the police that she had reminded her husband that he was the murderer of the boy in Nottingham Forest. The man then lived at Bulwell, two miles and a-half from the scene of the murder. From other suspici ous circumstances he was apprehended and placed in Mansfield lock-up. This morning the prisoner was brought before Sir Edward Walker and the Mansfield Bench of magistrates, when his wife Mary Wilson, stated she was in Pleasley-lanc, near Mans field, with her husband, a few days ago, when he got over a gate and told her to come and sit by his side. She told him she wanted to go to Mansfield, but the prisoner said she would never go to Mans field any more. He then grasped her throat and tried to strangle her. Witness resisted, and the prisoner then pulled a knife out of his pocket, with which he tried to cut her throat. She after wards extricated herself and ran to Mansfield. In consequence of the assault witness became very ill, and her neighbours told her she would die, when she said that if she did it would not be the first murder her husband had committed. She alluded to the murder of the boy in Notting ham Forest. At the time of the murd er s h e rea the Hue and Cry, and the description of the mur derer corresponded with the person of her husband, and when she told him so he showed great anger and left her, and soon afterwards shaved off his whiskers and burnt his coat. The prisoner denied having a knife, but his wife positively swore that he had. - The Bench said that the wife of the prisoner had made a most serious charge against her husband respecting the murder, and cautioned her ; but the witness positively affirmed that her statement with with regard to the murder of the boy was true. Superintendent Palethorpe brought two youths from Nottingham, who were with the boy shortly before he was murdered, and who saw the man who decoyed away the boy, but, for some reason which did not transpire court, these boys were not con fronted with the prisonerito identify him. The bench, thinking that the woman had charged her husband with the murder in consequence of the assault he had committed upon her, said they should send him to prison for six months in default of finding sureties. Upon hearing this the prisoner's wife said that she dared not be at large if the prisoner was, as he had declared he would murder her and her children, and she had no doubt he would fulfil his threat. The prisoner was then conveyed to gaol, and the utmost exertions are being made by the police to procure further evidence. SUICIDE OF VISCOUNT 101Z111. We have to record the suicide of the Viscount Forth, which occurred at Gloucester on the Bth inst. The late Viscount was the only son of the Earl of Perth, and was born at Naples in 1834. As will be remembered, his name figured conspi cuously in a divorce ease, which appeared in our columns some months ago, in whici: some sad re velations of the deceased nobleman's habits of life were disclosed by the Viscountess Forth in her examination before Sir Cresswell Cresswell. The deceased nobleman came to Gloucester in July last, and took up his abode at the Spa Hotel, under the name of Captain Drummond. Ho was accompanied by a lady about his own age, who passed as Mrs. Drummond. On the 19th ult. the lady gave birth to a female child, but afterwards became very and' was attended by Drs. Evans and Greaves. Their skill, however, proved of no avail, f or s h e expired at five o'clock on the morning of the Bth inst. The deceased nobleman was with her at the time of her death, was very much grieved, and wept bitterly. Soon afterwards he commenced drinking brandy, and appeared like a madman. In this distracted state he continued for several hours, after which he commenced packing his own and the deceased lady's clothes, and in doing so he took a small roll of paper up, saying " This belongs to me." He then left that. room (in which were the nurse and landlady) and proceeded to another op posite, followed by the nurse, whose suspicions were excited by his conduct. He asked what was the matter, at the same time putting a bottle to his mouth. The nurse exclaimed, " Good God, he's got hold of the laudanum bottle I" The landlady seized the bottle and succeeded in wresting it from. him, but net until he had drunk nearly half. He said, " It's only a little port wine," and descended to the sitting-room. A doctor was sent for and soon arrived ; he found his lordship walking up and down in the room, and was just in time to prevent him from cutting his throat with a knife. The deceased nobleman continued to walk up and down the room, until at last he ex claimed, " Oh ! how funny I feel," and became in sensible. The stomach-pump was used, but without success ; it was found impossiblq to restore him. An inquest on the body of the deceased was com menced yesterday afternoon. James Coyte, solicitor, of 21, Lincoln's-inn-fields, London, identified the deceased as Lord Forth, com monly called Viscount Forth. Believed he was 27 years of age. Saw him alive about two months since in London. The deceased was the only son of the Earl of Perth. Mrs. Holland, landlady of the Spa Hotel, deposed that the deceased first came to the hotel a fortnight before the Summer Assizes as Captain Drummond with a lady whom he called his wife. They re mained for a fortnight, and then went during the assizes to an adjoining house, and then returned to the hotel. Mrs. Drummond died on Tuesday morn ing, having been confined three weeks previously with a child which is now living. The deceased had not been in bed for three weeks, and on Tues day morning witness went into his room. Mr. Greaves, surgeon, took a knife from him. The deceased afterwards began to pack his clothes, and appeared almost out of his mind. He said he had left something in the other room, and he must fetch it. He then went into the bedroom where the deceased lady lay, took something out of a drawer, and put it up to his mouth. Her servant, who was nigh, said, " Good God ! he has got the laudanum." Witness went up to him and took it from him. He said it was only port wine. (The bottle, with the remainder of the laudanum in it, was produced ; it bore a label, "Laudanum—poison," and had been purchased for the lady from a local chemist.) Witness sent for Mr. Greaves, surgeon. The deceased said he was sure it was port wine he had taken. This was between two and three in the afternoon, and he died about eight o' clock the same evening. The deceased had drank a great deal since he had been in the hotel—principally brandy, but witness never saw him intoxicated. He was dreadfully distressed at the lady's death, and said he should go to London and take the child with him, and commenced packing his things. Daring her illness she called him so often that he remained in her room every night with the nurse. When witness was watching him and following him about, he said there was no occasion for her to watch him, as he never intended to make away with himself. He told witness the lady's father would pay the bill. After deceased had taken the laudanum he begged witness not to leave him. During the whole of the lady's illness he was much agitated and distressed. They appeared much at tached to each other. Dr. Evans and Mr. Greaves were in attendance on her. Susan Hale, a dressmaker, deposed that she was sent for by the deceased lady a fortnight before her confinement, and she had had the care of the infant since. Witness confirmed the evidence of the pre vious witness as to the circumstances under which the deceased had taken the poison, adding that the deceased on entering the room said he was going to see the dead body of the lady, and that on get_ 1 ting into the room he locked the door, and on wit ness and Mrs. Holland trying to get in he unlocked the door, and then they saw him drinking the laudanum. He had drunk about thre e parts—ofa pint of brandy at a draught soon a ft er the lady died, and cried and raved about th e room. Half an hour before she died she begged him not to cry for her. As soon as she had died the deceased_ told witness she must go with him to Londonwdi askedth the infant. Before taking the laud anum he h a witness ep for hi Al p , p b sutr the s h nurse e didn who know had vvhere attendeda i twas ' n the deceased lady, stated that she never considered considered h er at gentlemanls i i nn the e y rdanger night T haenddedcaeyased the remainedrequ e request Witness left the dece ase d l a d y on Sunday a morning last, believing she would go on well, r gentleman drank a good deal.

The bottle produced 44 never PMY bCf9IV, , 1 44uclAnura Awl been awl An the deceased lady, but it was taken from a smaller bottle. Witness was obliged to leave to attend on another lady. Mr. Greaves, surgeon, stated that be attended the deceased lady from the end of July, and also the deceased gentleman. Witness had heard the latter was Lord Forth. On Tuesday morning witness was requested to attend the deceased lady, and on his way to the hotel he met the deceased in a most ex cited state. He said, " Greaves, my dear fellow, I believe she is dead ;" and lie cried most bitterly on the way. On arriving at the hotel witness found she had just died. The deceased threw himself upon her and sobbed bitterly, and after kneeling at her bedside and crying for some time, he rushed to a table on which was a bottle of brandy, and drank nearly half a pint, witness taking it from him. Wit ness accompanied him downstairs, he being still ex ceedingly excited from grief and excess of stimulant —he was perfectly insane for a time. On entering the drawing-room he seized a knife on the chimney piece and attempted to make a gash across his throat; witness seized his hand and took the knife from him. He then sat down and said, " What have I done ?" Witness told him he had done a very cowardly act. He said he did not intend to do it. Witness told him it was useless for him to preserve his incognito, as it was known he was Lord Forth, and reasoned with him for some time, and on leaving gave directions for him not to be left alone. The inquiry was proceeding when our parcel was despatched. SINGULAR PROCEEDINGS OF A CONVICT. Among the prisoners who have just been removed from the gaol of Newgate to the Penitentiary at Millbank, to undergo their sentences of penal ser vitude, was a man named Thomas Quilter, whose career appears to have been of a somewhat extra ordinary character. It seems that this prisoner was formerly in the Irish constabulary, and served in the same district with Mullins, who was executed for the murder of Mrs. Emsley, and he left that force of his own accord, and came to London, where he obtained an appointment in the General Post office. He had not be en very l ong so engaged when suspicions were aroused regarding his honesty, and the usual steps were taken to test his conduct, which resulted in his detection, and he was com mitted to the Central Criminal Court to take his trial upon a charge of letter-stealing. At this time he appeared perfectly healthy in mind and body,but very soon after he had been in Newgate he refused his food and exhibited apparent symptoms of unsound mind. He was of course closely watched by Mr. Gibson, the surgeon of the prison, and also by the warders who had the charge of him, and the result they arrived at was that he was shamming -mad ness, in the hope, probably, that his trial might be postponed, and with some vague hope of ultimately escaping the consequences of his crime. When the time arrivedfor the prisoner to be tried he was twice placed at the bar to plead, but on each occa sion ho refused to do so, or rather stood mute, and made no reply when called upon to plead. The facts of the case having been communicated to the Court, together with the strong opinion en tertained by Mr. Gibson, the surgeon, and Mr. Jonas, the governor of the prison that the conduct of the prisoner was assumed, directions were given that a jury should be empanelled to tr, the question, according to the ancient form pre• scribed by the law, whether the prisoner, when called upon to plead, was mute of malice or by the visitation of God, and upon the evidence laid before them the jury at once found a verdict that the pri soner was mute of malice. Upon this finding the Court directed a plea of not guilty to be entered, and the trial of the prisoner proceeded, and he was con victed and sentenced to four y ears ' rena l servi tude. During the trial the prisoner did not utter a word, or take any p ar t i n the proceedings, and after his conviction and sentence, for a considerable time, he continued to endeavour to make it appear that he was mad ; but at length, finding that the authorities of the prison were not to be imposed upon, and that he had no chance of succeeding, the prisoner resumed his ordi nary demeanour, and admitted that the whole of his conduct had been a sham. In order to prevent any chance of the prisoner doing himself any mischief, he was strictly watched, b u t it a pp ears that, not withstanding the surveillance to which he was sub jected, he upon one occasion attempted to suffocate himself by placing his head in the pan of the water closet in his cell, and it appears he held it in that position until he became insensible and rolled to the ground, and when the warder entered the cell he had only partially recovered his consciousness. It is stated that since the prisoner has been at Mill bank ho has conducted hi mse lf very well, and ap-. pears resigned to the inevitable result of serving out his sentence. 00UN7RY MARKETS. 11 1ANCIIESTER--Our. 10.
