meheme of Church patronage. It is the universities which have been mainly instrumental in the bold attempt, that bas fortunately failed, to denationalise our Church, but which has not tailed in denational Wog the episcopate. Tractarianism may seem low and humble for the present. But we should recollect that there are a knot of statesmen waiting for power, and not un likely, by astuteness and combination, some day to ob tain it, whose unvarying principle has been that of building up ecclesiastical authority co-ordinate with the State, or above it. Staunch, therefore, as we may know to be the opinions and character of our Sovereign, we must know also that the power of the State and the patronage :of the Church may be to- morrow wielded by a - party ready to reverie every I rinciple hitherto established amongst us, and with those principles every guarantee of religious freedom and Protestant stability. If men are wise they will now put it out of the power of the national seminaries to rear up the youth of the wealthy and of the Church in doctrines diametrically opposed to the national interests and history, as well as to the universal opinion, of the middle dames. And they will put it out of the power of any Government to give up the strong position of the Established Church to be held by its occult and treacherous enemies.

THE NEGLECT OF SCULPTURE IN ENGLAND. — Would it not be wise in the Government , of the country to sustain and draw out the capabilities of artists? There are pedestals erected in Trafalgar-square which are naked, and perhaps only awaiting some dead hero to immortalize a living genius. Suppose 10,000/. were annually given to revive (or originatey a taste for sculpture, would not the country profit by its humanizing influence? At present there is little more acumen amongst the multitude on the subject than might suffice to discriminate doubtingly between the group of the Princess Charlotte's tomb at Windsor and the statue of George the Fourth at King's-cross, or of Queen Victoria in Pimlico, if.some horror-stricken dilettanti, on discovering the barbarism of the two latter examples, had not removed them. There are, at this moment, mouldering in the studies of British artists, splendid models that would do honour to any age or nation, but which are unnoticed or unknown, because sculpture is not fashionable—and there stand in the hall of a millionnaire in the west-end but -plaster casts of ancient masters, and not a single product from the chisel !! The year 1851 may infuse a spirit far excellence in this art; but if the subject be indifferent to the Government, and they irithhold the legitimate support, this branch of the fine arts must become extinct, and will not easily be resuscitated.— Arilder„ ---- - Houma AL ARUM —Mr. Dowling, the chief-super intendent of t4b Liverpool police, has at 'present in his pos session an liegenions and simple contrivance for alarming the eccupants of houses in case of burglary. It consists of a rattle, VilAali is sprung by the gravitation of a weight at tached to a wheel, by means of a cord. The alarm is in tended to, be fixed on the attic floor of the house, so that the weight may fall the whole depth of the house, between the banisters, and keep up a continu o us alarm. The fall at the weight upon the pavement or boarded floor makes a great noise, and is alone sufficient to arouse the household. The process by which the rattle is set going is very simple. When the cord is wound up, the weight which is attached to it is suspended on a thick piece of wire, which passes through the m achine, and is connected at the other end with bell-wire, communicated by means of cranks and pullies to the doors and windows of the house. The moment any of these are opened the wire on which the weight hangs is drawn out, and the result is a most terrific alarm, which could be heard in the remotest part of a large dwelling-house, but more especially in the sleeping apartments. Mr. Dowling has had one of these machines fitted up at his office; and we be lieve he will be glad to show its operation to any gentlemen living in the outskirts of the town, and who may desire an inexpensive and efficient protector during the winter months. —Liverpool Albion. FATAL ACCIDENT.--A fatal accident happened to Mr. James Gravener, an attorney of Dover, while following the fox-hounds on Friday last in the vicinity of that town. It appears that the unfortunate gentleman was cantering up to a corner of a wood whence the hounds were breaking cover, and-on coming up to a narrow dyke, over which a person might easily have stepped, his horse made a sudden Jump, and deceased lost his seat and fell. Mr. Beattie, a surgeon, who was near the spot, hastened to render assist ance, and found the deceased insensible and blood flowing from a severe wound on the temple—caused, it is supposed, by the horse klckisg him while falling. He was removed at ones in a carriage to the Bell Inn at Lvdden, and died at beit-peat tont o'clock in the afternoon. HIGH WATER Al LONDON BRIDGE.

Notwithstanding the interferences of the Legis lature, London still continue- , s be contaminated by the odious practice of intfa i; sal interment. The parochial authorities of the capital seem indeed to be determined to render the 13th and 14th Victoria, cap. 32, in more senses than one a Dead Letter. In spite of the positive and explicit injunctions of the law, in open defiance even of • public decency, the graveyards of the metropolis continue to be employed as the receptacles of decaying mortality, although long since crowded to very repletion. The crimi nality of such proceedings is too obvious to require any demonstration ; and we are reduced at last to the inquiry as to what "penalties are incurred by this shameless infraction of the rules laid down by the enactment. Either the parties thus offending against the law are liable to receive punish -ment for their total and flagrant disregard of its in junctions, or the measure is altogether useless and invalid. Either their acts are illegal, and as such amenable to the magisterial authorities, or the Bill passed through the Legislature last session is nothing better than a wretched imposition. To one or other of these conclusions we find ourselves perforce driven under the circumstances. We are necessitated to condemn either the Government for having placed insufficient restrictions upon those who have hitherto disgraced the metropolis by maintaining the custom of intramural interment, or the latter for shamefully placing themselves in a position antagonistic to that required by the mandates of the Government. Unfortunately the grievances we are complaining of now-a-days are not discoverable in merely one or two isolated and secluded localities—they thrust themselves under general observation, and present themselves to public notice even in our most crowded thoroughfares. Within a gun-shot of ourselves these things are occurring. Dead bodies are being still from time to time hid away in the churchyards both of St. Clement Danes and St. Mary-le-Strand. Cheek by jowl with the living the dead are being piled up with a ghastly indifference to law and life—the authorities in both cases laughing to scorn the danger of infecting the atmosphere and Vie perils incurred by disobeying the injunctions of an Act of Parliament. So long as these disgusting violations of the new enactment are allowed to pass by with impunity we shall (surely with reason) consider ourselves justified to regard the General Board of Health as possessing little or no power, or, at the very least, as being gifted with little or no discernment. Scarcely a single quarter has elapsed since the aspirants for sanitary improvement throughout the country were felicitating the metropolis upon a change calculated to pu rify the air respired by its inhabitants, to correct a large amount of immorality by vin dicating the sanctity of death in the estimation of the community, and perceptibly to diminish the sum of the annual mortality in the capital by promoting a greater degree of attention to the requirements of public health and cleanliness. Scarcely a single quarter, we say, has elapsed since this congratulation was addressed to the citizens of the metropolis, and already the new hopes inspired by the alteration have been almost entirely dissipated. So far ftom being in this respect the object of envy among the provincial cities of the United King dom, London still remains entitled to their pity and commiseration. W bile we were dreaming of suburban cemeteries for the reception of the dead the bodies of our departed fellow-citizens still con tinued to be crowded into the vaults of our city churches and into the fcetid soil of our city grave yards. The old and brutalising system is still found to flourish in undisputed luxuriance in the very face of a despised enactment and derided Legislature. Are these atrocious infractions of the enactment, we ask, to be permitted ? Is the law to dwindle into merely so much waste paper ? or are the rights both of the living and the dead to be vindicated ? Upon the response given to these questions the whole cause of Sanitary Reform is in a great measure dependent. 'I herefore it is that we feel especially interested in watching the result of the proceedings to which we are here directing attention. In the liberty granted to the violators of the Metropolitan Interments Act we recognize the assurance of a still increasing mor tality. Without some rigorous interposition we per ceive no prospect of a change for the better. Impu nity cannot fail to multiply such offences throughout the metropolis in such a manner that the proceedings of last session will be soon lost even to recollection. Those who are at all watching the couise pursued by this journal towards the Bill lately passed through both Houses of Parliament, will bear in mind that we all along insisted upon its utter insufficiency as a prevention of intramural interment. Our arguments even went to demand some more stringent clauses than any to be found in the entire measure —clauses rendering it an imperative duty upon the clergy to close all intramural graveyards without distinction from the very possibility of further interment. We anticipated that without some such comprehensive mandate the persons interested in the continuance of the present execrable system would discover loopholes through which to evade the power of the enactment. Events have, unhappily, since then shown the reasonablenees of those anticipations. The pertinacity with which the old and atrocious custom has been followed out proves that we were justified in requiring from the Legislature some more visible guarantees that the aspirations of the multi tude would be realized. Gladly should we have witnessed the falsification of our predictions. Pito- VIDEISCE has, however, ordered otherwise. What we said would inevitably come to pass has in fact actually transpired. The dead are still hid away in those crumbling dens of abomination, which invest all our principal place s of pubic w ors hi p w ith an aspect of repulsiveness. Dreamers may solace themselves with anticipations of the time when inter ments will be everywhere extramural; but without some resolute interference on the part of the Govern ment that great blessing will be denied to the pre sent generation. Something, in short, remains to be done, in order that the Metropolitan Interments Act of last session may be shown /o be really gifted with legislative vi tality. As yet it has proved wholly and entirely in operative. Unless a change be speedily perceptible, let the grievance be brought directly under the con sideration of the authorities by-the people of the me tropolis memorialising the Government. We must again, although at the risk of appearing tedious, recall the public attention to the great fact, that the income-tax in its present most unjust, un equal, and oppressive form, will expire next year, and that an opportunity will therefore be afforded of ob taining a thorough revision of our fiscal and financial system, such as may not again occur for many years, if the golden moment be permitted to elapse without due advantage being taken thereof. Every true re former should prepare himself fur the coming struggle. He should labour zealously and indefatigably in his own district, so asto organize the forces and exhibit the true strength of his brother refortners, to produce that pressure from without . which is so valuable with aMinia try known to be composed of " squet zable materials.' Let each man believe that the result of the struggle will depend on his own individual exertions, that the eyes of his fellow-citizens are upon him, that his fu ture honour and reputation depends on the manner in which he shall discharge the sacred duty now de volving upon him, and there can be no doubt or diffi culty as to the result. What is most to be dreaded is that heedless apathy, that careless indifference, which induces many persons—indeed, we may say, the great majority of the people—to hold back in matters of universal importance. There is but too much truth in the adage which declares that " what's every body's business is done by nobody." Matters of the most vital importance to the welfare and prosperity of the nation, the comfort and happiness of the popu lation, are thus hastily slurred over or treated with contemptuous disregard, from the want of leaders and the unwillingness of persons to assume the prominent position which must be taken by the more active and enlightened. Some decline the post of honour through modesty, from not deeming themselves quali fied for the station. We would remind such persons that modesty, generally a virtue, may sometimes de generate into a vice, and that in no possible way could the quality be more injurious to the best interests of the individual and of the society of which he is a member, than when it induces him to sanction in justice by tacit acquiescence, rather than by opposing a bold and vigorous resistance to prove himself worthy of the rights and privileges of a freeman. There are various points on which the voice of pub lic opinion should be clearly and unequivocally ex pressed before the re. assembling of Parliament. First, in importance, as we have already repeatedly stated is the duration of the proposed tax, the period for which it may be renewed in its modified form. This is strictly constitutional. The supplies are only voted from year to year, and this salutary and wholesome precaution has proved to be one of the best guarantees, the most effectual safeguards for the preservation of the liberties of the subject. It affords an opportunity for exposing every abuse, for claiming redress for every grievance. But under the'present system it only applies to the allocation of the funds. The revenue is col lected, the money is obtained without the authority of Parliament, and if a pressing emergency arose an unscrupulous person, backed by military power, might easily seize the sums stored up in the exche quer, waiting the disposition of Parliament. Nothing could, in tact, more effectually strengthen the hands of the popular branch of the Legislature, and consoli date the democratic power, than an annual sanction being required for the disposal of the revenue. But, as we have already shown, this is not practicable in cases of indirect taxation. It is only when the impost is directly levied, where there are no parties intervening between the tax payer and the tax collector, that it is possible; it could not be attempted ; in the case of Customs or Excise duties, nor would it be equitable in cases of voluntary imposts, such as many of the assessed taxes, which to a certain extent are optional with the party. It is therefore solely in . the property and in come-tax that this most valuable and important prin ciple can be introduced. The next point requiring attention, and modifica tion, is the practical injustice occasioned by the equal taxation of every description of income, no matter from what source it may be derived, or whether it be steady and permanent, or precarious and fluctuating—that exempts from the tax the owner of 4,9501. in the Three per Cents., while it sub jects the clerk on a salary of 1501. a sear in a Go vernment offize, who has large deductions to submit to in the way of super annuation fund, widow's fund, and a number of other funds, which none but those having many painful experiences of the amount could recapitu late, to the burden, and also the industrious trades man, the hardworking professional man, who have to lay by provisions fur themselves and families when old age or ill-health may disqualify them from further exertion, or death deprive their helpless families of fathers and protectors. The taxes on in dustry are the most iniquitous and unpopular that can be devised, while those on accumulated and realized property, in proportion to its capitalized value, are the most equitable and least objectionable. The first living financier, JOHN .IVacoßEGou, the faithful and efficient Member for Glasgow, long since propoued a settlement of the question on a statesmanlike and satisfactory basis, viz., that the amount required by the national exigencies should be collected " by an as sessment in the pound upon the value of all realized property—the rents and profits of all lands, tenements, houses, constructions, funds, stocks and shares, including factories, warehouses, docks, ship yards, railways, canals, public funds, Bank of England stock, East India and South Sea stock, and the stock and shares of all companies whose stocks and shares are sold in the market." From this there should be no deductions, and the amount realized to the revenue would be greater than that obtained under the present inquisitorial and iniquitous system. THE FAMILY OF THE LATE REV. MR. HOLLEST —The question has been frequently asked whether something might not be done at Oxford or Cambridge, or perhaps by one of the City companies, fur" the sons of the Rev. Mr. Holiest, so barbarously murdered at Frimley Vicarage, if they are of age to be admitted into college or to receive a Bible clerkship or exhibition. ROYAL WESTMINSTER OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL.- On Saturday a young man, aged twenty-four years, the son of a highly-respectable person, and following the busi ness of a chemist and druggist, underwent the severe and hazardous operation of removal of the lower limb, immediately below the hip joint. Mr. Charles Guth rie (the operator) was assisted by Mr. Hancock, Sur geon to the Charing-cross Hospital; Mr. Holt, Surgeon to the Westminster Hospital ; Mr. E. Canton, Lecturer on Surgical Anatomy at the Charing-cross Hospital ; Dr. Beish, R. N., Surgeon to the Greenwich Hospital; Mr. Bartow, Apothecary to the Westminster Hospital; Professor Echlin, Mr. Hogg, and Mr. Kidd. Amongst the large assemblage of spectators who met to witness this interesting and novel operation, we noticed the following eminent men : Mr. Arnott, President of the Royal College of Surgeons; Mr. Stanley, Surgeon to St. Bartholomew's Hospi tal ; Mr. Travers, Surgeon to the Queen and Prince Albert ; Mr. Guthrie, Consulting Surgeon to the Ophthalmic Hospital ; Mr. Phill'ps, Surgeon to Westminster Hospital ; Mr. Bransby Cooper, Surgeon to Guy's Hospital ; Mr. Tatum and Mr. Henry Johnson, Surgeons to St. George's Hospital ; Mr. Avery, Surgeon to Charing-cross Hospital. The patient was under the influence of chloroform during the operation, and was perfectly unconscious of the whole procedure. We learn that the patient is going on perfectly to the satisfac tion 'of Mr. Charles Guthrie.

The new levy of 40,C00 men, although ostensibly for the potection of the German frontier, is really intended for aggressive operations in conjuLction with Austria against the Protestant cantons of Switzer land, where the Sonderbund faction is to be restored to power by foreign bayonets. " The time is come," said the Jesuit-inspired Univers," when Proteutantism must be extirpated at the point of the sword." The 2Vational has the following on this increase in the armj : _ " It is thus that we are about to return within the limits of ordinary expenditure. New credits will be de mandad of the Assembly, and the promise of economy held out by the budget will be made to share the usual fate of promises of this kind; this last one did not hold even a week. M. Bonaparte, like Louis Philippe, keeps us down to that ruinous state of things called an armed peace, than which we can conceive nothing worse either in a political or financial point of view. The accumu lated deficiencies of eighteen years are then to bear wit ness that a war would have cost us less." The Minister of War has addre”ed the following circular to the intendants of the military divi- sions : " Monsieur ('lntendant,—On accepting the post. of Minister of War I made known by my order of the day of the 25th f October last, that the army would be the object of my warmest solicitude; it is sufficient for me to say, that as far as regards its comfort I rely on the active co-operation cf the military administration to second me in that important part of my mission. To exclude no new system the application of which would be useful and opportune, but also to retain those which have been proved by time and experience is, in a few words, the objects which I propose to my self. Whatever may be the decisions come to on this subject, the obligations of the military iutendance are clearly marked out. They demand a conscientious and indefatigable solicitude for the maintenance of the rights of the parties receiving, and a vigilant and enlightened control as the indispensable safeguard of the public trea sury, and which is the more readily exercised as its in dependence is guaranteed by the law, and a calm but firm surveillance to prevent abuses from whatever side it may be sought to introduce them. From the strict ac complishment of these duties depends the consideration of the whole administration. I have its dignity too much at heart, I know too well the utility of its action, and the sacred interests which are connected with it, not to be decided to act With as much rigour against any one who shall fail in his duty, as I should feel pleasure in recommending to the consideration of the Government such functionaries and agents as may have acquired claims to the gratitude of the country and of the army. In the one as in the other case, your co-operation is ne cessary to me; and to render it more efficacious, my authority will always support yours in the limit of law and equity.—Receive," PARIS, MONDAY, Nov, IS, FIVE P.M.

SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 13th have arrived. The debate on the address continued in the Senate, and the speech of the Minister of Foreign Affairp, in reply to the attacks made on bis policy, bad given general satisfaction. He said the Spanish people desired a close union with the people of England, and both nations had fur a long time been becoming more anxious to extend their friendly aid to each other, nor had this good feeling been aff-cted by the late revo lutionary movements in Europe: With respect to the delicate questions that had arisen between the Courts of Spain and Naples respecting the marriage of one of the sisters of the King of NAPLES, nothing definitive had as yet been concluded, but he felt con fident the affair would be satisfactorily arranged. He then defeeded the policy pursued towards France, and said the assailants of the Cabinet ought to know that the relations between France and Spain were superior to those with other countries. Count MIRASOL, the late Governor of Cuba, arrived at Madrid on the 13th. The railway from Aranjusz to Madrid is corn. pleted. MADRID BOLSA, Nov. 13.—Three per Cents., 35 ; Five per Cents., 331 to 35.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 6 000 bales, of which 500 American, 300 Egyptian, and 200 Surat were taken on speculation. The market doss d firmly, at about ? I d. per lb. advance on Friday's rates—ln Railway Shares a good business was doing, at higher prices. In a communication from Messrs. Schroeder and Mummy, of New Orleans, we have a detailed account of the position of the state of the markets for several im portant staples, from which we take the following:-- " Soon after the close of our last report of 12th inst., the Cotton Market became dull and heavy, and the effect produced by the frost news wore off, the reports of great damage not having been confirmed. Rather unfavour able accounts from abroad increased the dullness, and as factors showed a disposition to sell, the decline in prices during the week amounted to *to of a cent. Pur chasers were again brought forward by this concession on the part of sellers, and the transactions of the week amounted to 14,000 bales. " This improved inquiry has lasted all through the second week, and the supply on the market being ample, the sales were to a considerable extent, viz. -22,900 bales, at gradually stiffening prices, and the market closes to-day in nearly the same position it occupied two weeks ago. The demand continues to run on the lower grades, and these, being scarce, are relatively higher than the better qualities. The bulk of the busi ness done has been for the English markets, and it appears that discretionary orders are generally being acted upon. " In relation to the crop, the opinion is growing daily stronger that the yield will be a small one, the unprece dented fine picking season notwithstanding. Whilst some well-informed parties contend that the crop will not be larger than last year, there are few who estimate the same above 2,200,000 bales. The accounts from the interior state pretty generally that the picking season is nearly over. " The news from Kentucky respecting a severe frost, which we noticed in our last Circular,' has been fully corroborated by later accounts, and its effects are de scribed as very desolating. The following is an extract of a letter, dated the 9th of October, at Hopkins ville, Christian County :—"rhe severe frosts of Satur day and Sunday nights were more destructive to the to bacco crop in this vicinity than any such disaster in the memory of the earliest settlers; being wholly unex pected, it found most planters with a third, and in some instances a half of their crop in the field. The propor tion of the crop lost in our adjoining counties is esti mated by the best informed at fully one-third. Holders here are in expectation of realising immense prices, and listen to no offers.' " This intelligence, arriving at the same time when very favourable accounts in relation to the article from the English and the Northern markets were received, created a great excitement with us, and induced some factors to withdraw altogether what they had on sale, whilst others claimed considerably higher prices. An active demand sprang up at the same time, partly for the execution of telegraphic orders, partly for purchases on speculation, and holders succeeded, therefore, easily in alizing their asking rates. These they have been ad vancing daily, until they are now about two cents higher than before the frost news—viz., 16 days ago. " The transactions during the fortnight, sum up 2.200 hhds., and the market is left with barely any available stock, excepting such parcels as are held at still higher rates than those at present current. Mason County To bacco has participated to some extent in the prevailing brisk demand, although the crop of this description, generally early, appears to have been cut and housed before the frost took place. The sales noticed above include abont 300 hhds. of this leaf, at about one cent higher rates. The first direct cargo of Coffee from Rio arrived on the 17th instant, just one month later than the first arrival last year, viz., the Rebecca, with 5,590 sacks Coffee. The price asked first was 13c., but no sales of consequence could be effected at this advanced figure, and the holders were therefore compelled to moderate their pretensions, and are now willing to sell at 12c. per lb. About 1,000 sacks have been disposed of this cargo at the latter price, but the absence of any de mand for the west, on account of the still interrupted navigation, holds purchasers in check, and the inquiry is likely to be moderate until the news of a rise in the upper rivers is going to give more life to this branch of business." Port Phillip advices of July 23 have been received. They describe the colony as being in a flourishing state, but still much in want of labour, and ridicule the idea entertained at home, and expressed in one of the Lon don journals, that there is a glut. On the contrary, it is shown that public works are delayed for want of hands, the Government being afraid of entering into competition with the farmers and others, and abstracting the hands from their employmet• t. Wages, eve❑ with the influx of 17,000 emigrants during eighteen months, were higher than previously. Cape of Good Hope advices of September 25 have been received, and they describe the condition of the Natal settlement in encouraging terms. The harbour was much improved. Most of the emigrants wrecked in the Minerva bad settled down to a comparatively cer tain subsistence, and 5001. had been subscribed in D'Urban alone for their relief. The higher range of country at Quathlamba was not to be relinquished. The Overland Mail has arrived, and the letters de scribe business in imports as being rather quiet at Bom bay.
