DAILY NEWS.—Cardina• Wism4n and his soi disant suffragans have incurred the penal its of prce munire. The phrase is in everybody's mourn : what preci-ely does it mean ? The origin and growth of that partion of our statute law which previous to the Reformation constituted the main defence of king acrd people against the encroachments of the Papacy, is not very difficult to trace. Rome during the reigns of the Plantagenets was at the zenith of its p rlitical power. Nearly the whole of western Christendom owned its spiritual suzerainty. Emperors and kings, free cities end fierce barons, held in turn the stirrup of its ambition. The network of its subtle polity was spread over all lands ; and feudalism itself bent be.• neath the weight of its authority. As feota were held of the crown, so kingdoms were disposed of by the arrogant successors of St. Peter. Henry 11. did not disdain to accept the lordship of Ireland as a grit from Adrian, and his son was not ashamed to execute a formal surrender of the crowo to I.nocent and r o n-ceive it again at the rent of 1,000 marks a year 1 Ecclesiastical courts asserted an absolute indepnn.lence of civil control, and claimed tor all persons ii holy order a exemption from all responsibility save to their pecu liar jurisdiction. Vast wealth became accumulated in the hands of the regular and secular clergy. Landed property was every year to a greater extent enclesed wiihin the impenetrable fence of mortmain. Finally the benefices and bishoprics of the national church were grasped et by the insatiable cupidity of Rime. The spirit of the nation, which had complacently en dured every other species of indignity and encroach ment, revolted against this new usurpation. IR the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Edward 1., a statute was passed which Coke declares to be the foundation of that edifice of ecclesiastical liberty eventually per fected by such gradual care and raised to such a noble and consOicuous elevation. The provisions of this early Act, however, proved ineffectual for their pur pose ; and one of the weighty charges against the ill fated Edward 11. was his allowing of bulls from Rome to be brought into the kingdom for the unlawful dis posal of church preferments, and the like. His sue- cessor strove at the beginning of his reign to induce the Papal Court to come to some reasonable wider- standing. But his expostulations seemed only to pro voke fresh ebullitions of insolence ; and in reply to his remonstrances he was reminded that France had recently humbled herself before the Uni versal Lord of nations, and that the Emperor of Germany was equally submissive. Edward lIL replied a 4 became him, that though every prince and state should league together to maintain this scheme of usurpation, he and his people were res ,lved to vin dicate the ancient freedom of the realm. Nor was this an idle boast. Several Acts were passed declar ing all presentments made by Rome to livings or bi.hoprics, and all pretended acts collating persons to other benefices, void, and rendering those who should procure or accept any such appointments liable to fine and imprisonment. In the following reign the law was rendered still more stringent.; special provisions THE POPISH AGGRESSION. . were introduced against the holding of any ecclesias tical preferment by aliens, or persons born out of the legianee of the King ; and all liege men of the Crown accepting benefices by "foreign provision" were put out of the protection of the law. These enactments were denounced at Rome as impious and schismatical, and threats of excommunication were hurled against those who should presume to execute or obey them. But the Parliaments of those days were of one mind on the subject ; and by the 16 h Richard 11., ch 5, they not only re-affirmed the most important principles em bodied in former statutes, but further enacted that whoever "should procure at Rome any bulls, pro cesses, excommunications, instruments, or other things, which touch the King, against his crown and realm, and all pers , ins aiding and assisting therein, should be put out of the King's protection, their lands and goods forfeited, and that they should be attached by their bodies to the King and his council, or pro cess of prarniunire facial should be made out against them." This last recited Act is generally called " Tne Statute of Prwmunire," from the title of the writ binder which proceedings were taken against its violators ; fr on the resolute unanimity with which its pr licy was sustained by the nation, no efforts on the part of the Italian priesthood were able to defeat it. In vain B.pe. Eugenius assumed the right to appoint a bishop to fill the see of Ely ; the Archbishop of Canterbury refused to consecrate him, and another was duly enthroned, whom the chapter had chosen and the King approved. In vain Martin V. commanded the archbishop to endeavour to obtain the repeal of the 16th Richard ll.,—illud execrabile statutum, as he called it; and upon the refusal of the primate, affected to suspend him from his functions, The University of Oxford, both Houses of Parlia ment, and the Sovereign each sent embassies to de precate the Pontiff's wrath ; and the struggle was allowed to die away. In Tudor times many strin gent laws were passed, securing the royal supremacy. The most important, perhaps, was the sth Elizabeth, chap. 1, by which to maintain the spiritual jurisdic . tion of Rome within the realm was made an offence, punishable as in cases of prmmunire, the first time, and as in cases of high treason for the second. This was followed by many others framed in a like spirit for the enforcement of uniformity in public worship, &c. And though in our days these enactments have always been treated as practically obsolete, it was not without reiterated discussion during three successive sessions of 1844, 1845, and 1846, that Lord Lynd hurst and Sir James Graham were able to prevail on Parliament to abrogate formally the barbarous pe nalties already mentioned. The ancient statutes themselves were suffered to remain unrepealed landmarks of the national polity ; and the friends of toleration were glad to see their excessive and impracticable severities done away. The Eman• cipation Act of 1829 in no respect re moved or lessened the force of those disqualifying statutes whereby Roman Catholics are rendered in • capable of holding preferments in the established Church either of England, Scotland, or Ireland. 011 the contrary, the 16th section explicitly recognises and re•enacts, in the most comprehensive terms, the disabilities in that behalf existing. Nothing that has since been done by Parliament tends to weaken that exclu , ion. Episcopal and capitular revenues, tithes and offerings, fines, dues, and perquisites, to the ut termost farthing, remain secure. And the Sovereign of these realms might still exclaim in the language of her :emote ancestor, six centuries ago—" No foreign priest shall tythe or toll in my dominions." Then as to ecclesiastical titles; the wide distinc tion ought to be borne in mind between those which imply and are plainly intended to assert territo rial jurisdiction, and those which are but prefixes or respect and courtesy to the names of individual , . Everybody knew, for example, that during the last seven years Dr. Wiseman was called by his friencis and adherents " Bishop;'' and nobody cared to dispute his claim to that appellation. It implied no usurpation of any other person's office. It gave no just cause of offence, therefore, to any one Neither would any sane ,or sober-minded Protestant have troubled himself to inquire why the Roman Catholic priesthood, who coesidered Dr. Wiseman as their spiritual cbi,f, had chosen to give him the novel title of Archbishop, the 1 ), 130 consenting thereto. Ail c hese matters were, strictly speak.ng, affairs with which the nation at large had nothing whatever to do, and in which, consequently, they were not likely to have ever dreamt of mtertneddling. But the case i, wholly different when Pius IX, a foreign Sove reign, publicly pretends by his own authority, and of bis own will, to create a new territorial dignity within the realm. to append thereto a definite and specific territorial jurisdiction, and to confer this ter. ritorial title and territorial jurisdiction. Dr. Wiseman is not in the position of a Roman priest elected by his Srerhren to preside over them in Westminster. He claims to he, by the nomination and appointment of an Italian Prince, metropolitan Archbishop of Eng land. This is the cause of offence, nut the assump tion of the clerical style and title of any particular rank or degree. BEDFORDSEHRE. The first county m. e. to protest against the n•eddling of the Bishop of Rome in the affairs of thin country was held at Bedford on ‘Vedoesday. It was convened by Colonel Gilpin, the high sheriff, in ac cordance with a requisition signed by upwards of 400 of the most respectable and if.fluential gentlemen in Bedfordshire, including persons of every political party and every Protestant denomination. 'The Town-hall of Bedford, in which the gathering took place, was so crowded that further ingress was im possible. The I.l!gh Sheriff presided in person, and amongst the gentlemen who thronged the platform were Lord Charles Russ.-11 (brother of the Prime Minister), Sir Harry Verney, M.P., Mr. Hastings Russell, M.P , Colonel Trevor, ALP., Mr. H. Little dale, Mr. C. 1,. Higgins, Colonel Higgins, Sir C. G. Payne, Mr. G. P. Liviu-, Mr. H. &c. The HIGH SHERIFF read the requishon upon which he bad convened the meeting, and called upon Lord Charles Russell to move the first reJolution. Lord C. RUSSELL, on ri , ing, was received wi , h a coniinuous burst of cheer•. The Noble Lord said his motto was, " No fear."—(Cheer-.) Never fur a mo ment could he anticipate that any harm would result from that which he might call almost a contemptible document.—(Uproarious cheeribg.) Olt all sides he saw his countrymen rising arid giving expres sion to their sound Protestant feelings, and dechiriog their attachthent to their Protestant institutions in Church and State.—(Chetrs.) He saw also that our rulers, both temporal and spiritual, had nobly spoken out, had faithfully denounced this act of ag gression on the part of a foreign enemy, and he hoped bad with some success shown forth and expressed their faith in our glorious national institutions. — (Hear.) On that score, then, he had no fear; and if we were called upon to enter into the contest between Protestantism and Popery, and between truth and error, how could he foi one moment doubt the issue of it ? —(Prolonged applause.) Was not the power which struck down Popery in the fifteenth century sufficient to keep it down in the nineteenth ?—(treat cheering.) Did it not, humanly speaking, fall before the power of the printing-press; and did we not now live happily in the enjoyment of a free press in this country ?—(Loud cheers.) Whilst, however, he had no fear, there were no limits to his amazement at the audacity that had prompted this act.eL(Vehement cheering.) How it could have originated ne scarcely knew. That the Papacy, which but a little time ago was trembling on its last legs, as it seemed, th e P o p e being a refugee from his dominions, and afterwards restored only by the aid of the bayonets of a foreign Power—that he should have the audacity to say that he had all spiritual and temporal supremacy in this kingdom —this was so mon , trous an assumption, and such a palpable attempt at innovation on our civil and political rights, that he (Lord C. Russell) was amazed at the insolence.—(Cheers.) He could nut account fur it, and the o nly wa y that it, or any other absur dities of the kind, could be accounted for, was, 11, supposed, by alleging the Pope's claim to infallibility. —(Laughter and derisive cheers.) Let them, then, berm e proceeding to denounce the effort of the Pope, see upon what this claim to infallibility rested. First of all, had his Holiness been really infallible ? He termed himself the great spiritual head of all Chris. tendom ; bad he been infallible in the choice and adoption of his own fai h ? The Bible told us, "By their fruits ye shall know them;" and what were the fruits of the religion established by the Saviour upon the earth? Was it not hymned by angels that it should be " peace and good will ?"—(Cheers.) Let the Pope, then, say where he would find those fruits of the soundness of his r eligion in his own domi nions. —(Cheers.) Had it established peace" even in Rome itself ? He appealed fur an answer to the bayonets of the French.—(Vehement cheering) H a d it been instrumental in promoting " good will" in the Papal dominions ? He thought his Holin ess might have answered'that question himself when he made his escape from Rome mounted on the box of a coach, and arrayed in the disguise of a foreign livery.—(Loud cheers and laughter.) . But if the Pope had shown himself to be fallible in his choice and adoption of a faith, bad be not been equally fallible qi his denunciation of another ? He had denounced us both by word and deed. He had done an act which he could only de in a nation of infidels. What fruits of infidelity had England produced during the last half century ? On the contrary, had she not given out the fruits of a sound faith ?—(Cheers ) But, whilst the Pops has been deceived in things past, he was not less deceived in things present. He had seen an absence of persecution here, and that he as smiled to be indifference to real truth.—(l - fear, hear.) He had mistaken the healthy development of Pro testant character for the paralysis of infidelity.— (Cheers.) Again he had mistaken grossly—he had mistaken the falling off of a few dead leaves as symptomatic of the decay of the heart of the tree.— (liear.) He had gloated on the passion for a mere tricious ritual displayed by a few, and hoped that it was tantamount to a total abandonment of gospel truth.—(Cheers.) He had witnessed with delight a recent attempt of the Church to establish a spiritual oligarchy, and, for once, he had come to a sound conclusion that a spiritual despotism must be prefrrable to a spiritual oligarchy—(Loud cheer) — and that the infallibity of one man was more conso nant to reason than the infallibility of a dozen.— (Cheers.) But, again he had committed a gross Wunder, even in connexion with this subj.-et. He heard a wish go forth from the cloistered cells of England, and he mistook for the voice of the people that which England had since pronounced, and was now pronouncing, to be a mere aspiration of the feeble-minded, or of the " non-natural" few.—(Great cheering) By his letter he branded us as infidels ; yet almost in the first sentence he resorted to the mockery, the great inconsietencv, of calling us a noble," ay, the " noble people of England."—(On, oh, and laughter.) He treated us as infidels, and s y t e yd us ry le mu " chl n ik o e bl t e and 0 , , o he ( wwhat L C Ho llu ati s e s s e sts l) shul his ideas of nobility were. He had no doubt that they differed very much from those whi c h t h e E ngl i sh peop l e en• tertained. It might be noble in his eyes to be apos tates and professors of that dissitnulatiOn which, what ever favour it might find in the eyes of a Jesuit, was totally unknown to the nature of Englishmen.— (Loud cheers.) Well, let th e nat i on arise and tell the Pope what its estimate of nobility was.—(Cheers ) In the words of a poet— 'Tis only noble to be good; Pure hearts are mer e than coronets, And simple faith than Norman blood." The Noble Lord resumed his s ea t am i dst thunders of applause, after proposing a resolution deprecating the Pope's bull. Mr. H. HILL seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Colonel TaEvoit M.P., moved the second resolu tion, expressive of the hope that her Majesty would command a public benunciation of the bull of the Popp', and signify her determination to maintain in sielate her solemn engagement to her people, and pledging the meeting to support her to the utmost, in accordance with their beusei,n duty and sworn alle giance.—(Loud cheers.) H e (Colonel Trevor) looked upon the Pope's bull as neither more nor less than an innovation on the rights of both Sovereign and people; and he frit sure that Englishmen — ti h o ve all, English Protestants —would never permit them selves to be ridden roughshod over by any potentate, whether lay or ecclesiastical.—(Cheers.) Lord John Russell hsd promised them, in his letter, that the present state of the law should be examined and considered ; and that was all we could at this moment require. But he did trust that no time would be lost in making that examination, that due notice would be taken of what had transpired in her Majesty's next speech from the Throne ; and he ventured to say that, if it s hould be found necessary, upon the advice of those who were charged with the gov e rnment o f th e coun try, to add anything to the str eng th o f th e ex i st i ng l a ws, an y such propo sal would receive an almost unanimous su pport, whe ther in the House of Lords or the House of Commons. —(Loud cheers.) They were told that a similar bull was to be se n t t o S co tl an d, and that that countr y was also to be p a r ce ll e d ou t i n t o Popish dioceses. But, recollecting th e s t rong f ee lings of our northern brethren, he should be much a stonished if they did not give it even a warmer and more enthusiastic re sistance than that which England was now offering to it.—(Loud cheers.) Having more than once so journed in the city .ot Rome, be could not help re collecting the extraordinary superstition and acts of idolatry which he himself had publicly witnessed there. Th e Bibl e was a con demned book in Rome ; and on so me occas i ons it bad been taken out of the luggag e o f trave ll ers upon their entering that city. In variou s quarters o f R o me he had seen and read public noti ces th a t a cer tain number of !ears of ex emption from purg a tory would.be accorded to th ose persons who kissed certain itnages. In the same man ner, by the repetition of a certain number of prayers, a man might o bt a i n pardon for almost any crime which he m i g h t h ave co mmitted. — (llear, hear.) Mr. HOWARD seconded th e resolution. Sir H. VERN EY , M.P., , u pported the res o l u ti on . As one who had ever been in fevour of toleration, he deemed it especially incumbe nt u p on hi tn to come forward on this occasion and st ate plainly that tolera tion was not indifference --that toleration and terence were not the same thing.—(Cheers.) There was nothing in the spirit of toleration which justified the recent act of the P,ista. 11-re was a cLim to su premacy set up by a foreign piece over the suttjects of her Majesty, mod without her Majesty's authority. Such an act was not known in any other profession. It, for instance, an Englishman received the hono ur of knighthood at the hands ot a foreign prince, h e never used it in this country, unless with the peimis siao of the Queen; for here it was held to be a tun dsmental principle that the Queen was the fountain of honour—(Cheers) —and if any individual, be he civil or ecologasticall P rel "'"" 4 t 9 use a title conferred INSTITUTION OF CITIL ENGINEERS.--The institu tution held its first meeting on Tuesday evening last, when the proceedings commenced with the announcement of the dates of the ordinary meetings of the session; the appoint ment of December 17, for the annual general meeting, for the election of the president, council, and officers; and of the 27th May, 1851, for the president's conversa:ione.

He felt assured that the people of England would assist her Majesty in taking any step which might appear to be neces sary f..r showing that they were firmly determined to maintain that Protestant faith and those Protes tant institutions which now so happily prevailed amongst them. But he could not conceal from him self that Papists abroad had been encouraged in their attempts to diffuse their doctrines amongst us by the practices of a certain section of the Church of Eog land.—(Hear.) In alluding to this subject he had no desire to speak in a spirit of bitterness. The laity of the Church of England had a right to speak out upon this subject ; and he did not hesitate to avow that whilst t. him it would be a source of the greatest happiness it he thought that one of his sons was tit to rake upon himself the office of a minister of Christ, and ro inculcate the doctrines of the Church of England, et rather than see that son a minister of the Protestant Church, with a Papist's heart, he would !olio ,v him to the grave.—(Loud and protracted cheer ing.)

He was chaplain to an English bishop, who had given him his living. Another chaplain to that bishop had previously been perverted to the Church of Rome, and he was now going about the country .en desvouring to draw the people over from our Protestant Church to the Church of R3me. Would they close their eyes to these things ? Would they attend a public meeting against the aggressions of the Church of Rome, and close their eyes to practices which were being carried on in their own Church ? —(Cheers, and cries of" No.") God forbid. Heart and hand, therefore, they should unite in their oppo sition to Popery, whether in the Church of Rome or the Church of England. In making these observations he did not desire to raise the "No Popery " cry. He hated " cries," because it was now matter of history that the raising of " cries " had been attended with unprecedented crimes, and great misery, wretch. edness, and suffering in the land. The resolution was carried unanimously. Sir C. PAYNE moved the adoption of an address to the Queen, founded upon the preceding resolutions, end that the H , gh Sheriff do present the same to her Majesty at the first convenient opportunity. Mr. C. L. HIGGINS seconded the motion. The resolution was carried unanimously, and, after a vote of thanks had been passed to the High Sheriff for presiding, the meeting dispersed.

THE PREVENTION OF CRIME. LETTER V. TO THE RIGHT HON. SIR GEORGE GREY, BALLT., M.P.. &c. &c. Sir,—Tne object of tu.king the colony purely agricultural so long as convicts were sent, or retained there as convicts, is to remove from those who are reformed that temptation to return to their old habits, which is inevitably offered by a town population, and therefore greatly lessen, if not effectually prevent, the risk of such colony becoming a bad foundation for future communities. To carry out this plan into practical operation I would suggest the following mode of proceeding as being easy of execution, offering to the convicts every chance of reformation, useful in establishing a colony, beneficial to the mother-country, and without the Pernicious effect above adverted to, of placi9g the labour of the convict in competition kith that of the honest and industrious. First. S-nd to the proposed colony a steamer, ' with scientific min, and implements to ex plore the coast and the interior, and to fix on the best place for the future colonies; then dispatch two or three vessels with the clergymen, schoolmasters, surgeons, surveyors, artificers in the principal trad es required in an infant colony, and military; a preference being given to all who were married, and who should b- entitled, after five years service, to allotments of land if they desired to settle —3OO or 400 convicts from the Portland Convict Es tahustiment, who being partly reformed would be less troublesome in starting the infant colony, and would be tar better for the convicts themselves, than sending diem, as has been proposed, to existing colonies, where the temptation to return to their old habits would be ' so much greater. There is no doubt that such convicts would be most willingly received at many of the existing colonies, but to send them there would be merely a 'recurrence to the very principle which has already produced such h4tieful effects, viz., making the interest of the set tler, and not the reformation of the convict, the first object. The question should be,—ls it for the ad vantage, not of the colonist who requires a labourer, but of the reformed convict, that he should be sent to an old colony, or to such a one as I have proposed ? And I should be quite content that Colonel Jebb, who made the suggestion in .his „excellent report on the Portland Convict Establishment, should decide the question ; for be truthfully remarks in another para graph, " There is too wide a distinction between the full privileges of a ticket of leave and the penal gang in Norfolk Island." No one who hss studied the subject can doubt that it is not possible to grant to a reformed convict a ticket of leave in an old colony without running the greatest risk of his returning to his old habits. Yet anything approaching to the assignment sys- tem, the only arteiristive yet offered, would assuredly produce a similar effect in a far greater degree. Maconochie's " Australians" is clear and decisive on this point, and proves that is practical working is precisely what might have been anticipated by every p raon vcno considered the reformation of the convict, and not the advantage which the settler would receive, was the object to be attained. Secondly. Let the site of the first colony be not less than a mile from the harbour, which should be im proved, a pier built, and an excellent road made to it. A few of the convicts should be employed in culti vating some land under the superintendence of the agriculturists, but the greater part should be employ ed in erecting a penitentiary capable of holding 1,000 convicts, with barracks for the military, workshops for the various artificers, a large Government store or bazaar, where every article produced by the convicts should be sold, and everything required by the free settler, except spirits of every kind, the sale of which, or even the importation into the colony, should be prohibited except as an article of medicine. Everything, whether imported into the colony or produced by the convicts, should be sold eta profit of 10 per cent., which should be divided into three parts—one-half retained fur the expenses of the es tablishment, a portion the remainder placed to the credit of each convict who had produced the article, and the rest set apart to provide a fund wherewith to assist the most exemplary in , ,conduct in settling upon an allotment of land. Thirdly. When the buildings were completed the number of convicts should be increased to 1,000, and a portion of them should be employed in erecting another penitentiary, capable of holding another 1,000 convicts, not nearer to the first than ten miles, and towards the interior ; another portion of the convicts should be employed in making a good road between the two colonies, and in dividing the land on either side into farm•, varying from 50 to 300 acres, making cross-roads, and cultivating a few acres in each al lotment. Fourthly. Then, and not before, free settlers should he invited to take possession of the lots, upon terms which I will presently mention, and offering far greater advantages to the bona fide settler, althcugh not to the speculator, than any of the New Zealand, Or.ago, or Canterbury schemes. It is hoped and be lieved that at this time many .of the convicts would be steadily reformed, and desirous of working for the tree settler at fair wages; and as soon as the greater part of the lots for five miles between the first and see..nd colonies had been occupied, the convicts should be employed in building another penitentiary on one side of the first colony, but not nearer than ten miles, and on the land between this penitentiary and the first similar measures should be pursued as be tween the first and the second. When free settlers arrived in sufficient numbers to occupy the sites, then another penitentiary should be built on the other side of the first, but not less than ten miles from it; and, when required, similar ones on either side of the second penitentiary, but not nearer to it than ten miles—the ohji-ct bring, that the greatest distAnce a convict should have to H elk to his isolk either on the road or the field should be five miles. Thus you would have six penitentiaries, each ca pable of holding 1,000 convicts, at a distance from the first colony, or seat of government, of ten miles; if the plan worked as well asi anticipate, preparations should be made for abandoning the first penitentiary as a convict establishment, the building converted into useful public offices, one of which should be a dwelling for the labourers, the land between it and the harbour laid off in streets to serve as the future town, no land in which should be sold, hut let on moderate ground rents, the proceeds' of which sticuld be applied to the future wants of . the town, so as to prevent the necessity of taxation. I will state in my next and concluding lefter the plan fur colonization which I would propole in oppo sition to what is called the Wakefield plan, and which h&c's out such manifold advantages to the free settler, that I believe no moral doubt will remain on the minds of those who have watched the progress of emigration that the lots would be ra pidly occupied. I tare the honour to remain, Sir, &c., RIGBY %YAWN. C ,rwar, Nov. 4 1850. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF MR. PEN NISGTON, LATE OF THE TREASURY. It is with the deepest regret we have to announce the melancholy suicide , of Mr. Pennington, a gentle man who for fifteen years past has filled highly im portant offices in her Majesty's Treasury, which took place yesterday afternoon. About half-past four oo clock, as police constable Henry John, T 223, came out of Gore-house, Kensington-gore (late the residence of Lady Blesaington), he heard the report of firearms discharged in one of the plantations in Hyde• park, abutting on the Great Western road, al most directly opposite Gore-house. He immediately ran across the road and entered the park at the small wicket-gate close to the spot, and discovered the un fortunate gentleman lying on his back in the planta tion, with his arms extended. In his right hand a double-barrelled pistol was tightly grasped, one of the barrels of which ,had lust been discharged, and on the lock of the collier barrel -was a percussion cap, and the lock was cocked. The unfortunate gentleman was then still breathing, a motion of the lips and mouth being distinctly perceptible for five or six minutes, after which he appeared to exvire. In less than ten minutes after the fatal act had been committed Police-Sergeant Davis, T 20, came up, and was followed by Mr. Bonney, a surgeon of litughtsbridge, who, hearing of the occurrence, exa mined the body, which was lying at the root 'of a fir-, tree. He found that the deceased had shot himself through the right temple, and that the ball had passed out at the back of the head, where the brains were exuding. Mr. Bonney pronounced the deceased to be quite dead. Policeman 209 A, on duty in the park, then came up, and a stretcher was procured from the T station-house, Church-court, adjoining Kensington Church, and the body having been placed on it was' carefully removed to the residence of Mr. Spreadhrow the beadle, who immediately had it placed in the dead house of the parish in:Rom and Crown-yard, adjoining the house. The clothes of the deceased gentleman wei e then searched, and in his pockets were found a silver Geneva watch with a gold guard chain, and a silver Brainah key attached, a gold toothpick, three cambric handkerchiefs marked "G. J. P„" a aoveraign purse, a blue silk pure, and 9=. in silver, and some other small articles ; also a card-case, in which were two cards, with the name " Mr. Pennington, No 20, Cumberland street, Portman-square." Mr. Spread brow immediately proceeded to that address, and inquired if Mr. Pennington was from home, e.:.d was informed that he was. Ile then showed one of his cards and the card -cast', which were identified as having belonged to the deceased. Subsequently the butler in the family went to- Knightsbridge, and identified the body as that of his mater. It appears that Mr. Pennington bed a fit shout three months since, from the effects of which he had scarcely recovered, and about a fortnight sines, be had resigned his situation. He had left his house about half-past two o'clock in the afternoon, to take a walk with:bis 4. 4 g4tais 1 344 r€ 414111•4 bolo is eb*44l9/4/. GOLD FROM CALIFORNIA. Some es,imates have lately been formed of the shipments of gold received in Europe from California to the present time, which we believe may be re garded as tolerably accurate, and according to which the amount is about 3,300,000/. On the other side, up to the end of September, the receipts at the two tniots of the United States had been about 31,000,000 dolls, or 6,200,0001. Since that time we have had advices of further arrivals at New York and New Orleans amounting to 500.0001. An aggregate is consequently formed of exactly 10,000,0001. To this must be added, in order to estimate the total produc tion, not only the amounts which have found their way to China, Manilla, Australia, Oregon, the S with Islands. the States of Spanish America, &e., but also the total which has been retained in Cali• foroia for the purposes of currency. The population in that county now ranges somewhere between 200,000 and 300,000, and, although a considerable amount of silver dollars have been imparted, the bulk of the cireul Ition believed still to he in the form of gold-dust or of gold tokens. If the 250,000 persons possess on an average 101. a piece, we have a sum of 2,500,0001., and, looking at the expense of a week's maintenance in the country, as well as the large quantities constantly in transit, as well as the reserves which, as was shown by the last advices, the various deposit houses are compelled to retain to meet sudden runs, it is probable that this is under the real total. Taking all points into con sideration, it may therefore be assumed that the whole which has been raised is eval to at least 13,000,0001 sterling. Of this production, according to recent official returns from the United States, nearly four-fifths have taken place during the pre sent year. Ot 25 966,817 dolls. received in the United States Mint at Philadelphia, up to the end of Sep tetnber List, only 44,177 dolls. bad arrived in 1848. 5,481,430 dolls, in 1849, while the quantity in 1850 had been 20,441,210. The same proportions would probably pre-ail with regard to the sums distributed to other places, and we are therefore led to the sup position that the export this year has already actually reached upwards of 10,000,0001., although the re sults of two additional months have yet to be known. It will be observed, coast queotly, that the unexpected feature which has hitherto attended the progress of this new region, namely, that almost all the accounts from it, although deemed exaggerations at first, have proved ultimately to have been under-statements, is still presented. At the commencement of 1850 the most sanguine anticipations that were formed in any direction fixed its pro 'able yield at 10,000,0001., and not only has this been exceeded, but each quarter of the year has thus tar shown an increase of nearly half upon the amount gathered in the pre ceding one. Thus the receipts at Philadelphia for the first three months were 4,270,714 dolls., while they were 6,920,496 (lolls. for the second, and again 9,250,000 for the third. This rate of augmentation coincides with the influx of population, and, as the emihration to the country is certain to be continued until the remuneration it affords for labour is brought to a level with the ad vantages offered else where, there is no reason, so long as se are without accounts of an npp,rent limit to the field of operati,ms, to anticipate anything else than a steady continuance of an itn • proVing ratio. So far from a limit having yet been round, each fresh exploration seems to develope new and wore favourable localities, and an extended dis covery of dry diggings I,Ately alleged to have been mad, ,, , together with the steps in progress elsewhere to crush the mountain ore by machinery, appears to hold out the prospect that, even with the approach of winter, th , -re will scarcely be a suspension of the prevailing activity. INCENDIARISM 1N 'NEST SURREY.—COMMITTAL OF THE: INCENDIARY.—Yesterday morning a young man, about 24 years • I age, in the garb of a labourer, who gave his name as William Fletcher, was charged belore the magis trates of Guildford with having wiltudy and maliciously set tire to a straw rick, thereby causing the destruction of two other ricks of wheat and hay, as also a barn Lull of wheat and barley, the property of Mr. Stephen Ceaser, an exten sive tanner, at Pyle Hill Farm, at Mavfcrd, near Woking, on the 231 ult.; and, after a lengthened examinath.n, before R.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE NEAR LUDGATE-HILL. —Last night, about half-past eight o'clock, a tire, by which several families have been reduced to a state of beggary, broke out in one of the tall houses, No. 18, in Holliday-yard, Creed lane, Ludgate-hill. The building was occupie conjointly by three families, named respectively Eaton, Tankard, and Newsom. Nearly everything contained in the house was consumed. The property lost by this disastrous event is very considerable. GRAY'S INN. —At a Pension of the Honourable Society of Gray's Inn, holden en Wednesday last, the Rev.

The Pope was burnt in effigy last night on Peck ham-common. At six o'clock a mock procession was formed. A van drawn by four horses drew up front ing a house on the green, from which emerged some d.iz-n men, armed with various weapons, each leading a mun attired in the surplice of a Romish clergyman, the latter being tumbled into the vehicle amidst the shouts of several thousand persons congregated. The next brought out were two athletic tello-vs, one at ired as a Cardinal, and the other as his chaplain. A tew yards in advance of the van stood a herculean fellow, bearing a burlesque effigy of the Pope, mounted on a long pole, and having in his hand what purported to be the late memorable bull. Io advance again were about 50 fellows bearing lighted torches, and on each side of the Cardinal's carriage was a van containing fiend-like creatures, who kept up a continual display of theatrical fire, blue predomi nating, and so contrived that it ;tidies cast a sickly hue over the features of the unhappy prelate and his fellow-prisoners. The Cardinal's equipage was flanked by some 40 torch-bearers, the faces of the latter horribly begrimed with varied coloured paint. The procession proceeded towards Camberwell, isy the Peckham-rye-road, followed by at least 10,000 persons. It was hailed in its progress through the various streets with the loudest acclamations, amidst cries of "No Popery," " Hurrah fur the Queen," "No foreign priesthood." After about two hours' perambulation, the procession retured to Peckham, and thence to Peckham-common, where the waggons were dragged into the vicinity of an immense pile of fagots, tar-barrels, and other combustibles. At this time there could not have been fewer then between 10,000 and 12,000 persons, and the unanimous cry was "Down with the Pope." Fire was applied to the pile, and in a few moments the whole mass was in a bl.z-?. A simultaneous cry having been raised for the Pope and his bull, the representative of Rome was thrust in amidst the shouts of the mob. It was not till after some three hours that the proceedings terminated, and the mob slowly dispersed. PAPAL ENCROACHMENTS. THE Bea.—An address, to her Mojesty from the members of the English Bar has been lying fur sig nature at the several inns of court during the last four days, during which it has been signed by nearly 500 practising barristers, among whom are 45 given's Counsel. It will remain at the same places until the end of this week. The following is a copy of the ad dress:— " TO THE VEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " The humble address of the undersigned members of the English Bar. " We, your Mejesty's most devoted subjects, beg leave humbly to approach your Itsjesty will the strongest assurances of undeviating loyalty to your crown and of sincere and fervent attachment to your person. We consids.r it our duty to declare to your Majesty that we r.gard with feelings of surprise and indignation the attempt made los , a foreign potentate to interfere with your Majesty's undoubted prerogative. and to as sume the right of nominating archbishops and bishops within these realms, and of conferring upon them terri torial rank and jurisdiction. " We, therefore, humbly venture to express our ear nest trust that your Msj.•sty will maintain and preserve inviolate sour Majesty's supreme authority, as by law .stablishosi, in these realms, and our confident reliance in sour Msjesty'a wisdom fur the immediate adoption of ►u; h measures as shall be most effectual for that purpose." FLAX CULTIVATION. A movement, now in progress, for the promotion of flax cultivation in Ireland was described on the 7th lost, and it was mentioned that application had been made to the Board of Trade to incorporate a company , with a capital of 1,000 0001, who proposed to encou rage pr. duction by the offer of a certain price per acre for the crops that might be raised. To this applica tion, we are glad to say, the following favourable reply was received this morni, g : " Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, Whiiehall, Nov. 13. 1850. " Sir,—With reference to the paper transmitted to this hoard on behalf of Lord Talbot and others, and to the interview betwe oi Mr. Labouchere and yourself, Mr. Doulan and Mr. Clayton, in which you stated that the object of the persons applying to form a j9int•stock com pany in Ireland for the preparation of flax upon an im• proved method, and upon a very extensive scale, and thereby to encourage the cultivation of flax in that coun try. and that the parties were desirous of ascertaining, before incurring further expense, how f..r it war probable •hat their Lordships would think it right to recommend to her Majesty to grant a charter of incorporation to such company when formed, I am iustructed to state to you, fur the information of the parties interested, that it has not been usual for this board to recommend the granting of charters of incorporations for any purpose of a commercial character except in cases where the en terprise was necessarily of such magnitude as to require a capital larger than could be expected to be raised by persons associated in the ordinary mode of partnership. Under ordinary circumstances, therefore, my Lords would be unable to hold out any expectation that such a charter as that now sought could be granted. My Lords, how ever, taking into consideration the present circumstances of Ireland, sod being strongly impressed with the great I importance of encouraging at this time by every means the cultivation of fl .x in that country, would be dis posed, upon a sufficient case being made out, to relax the rule by which they are governed under ordinary circumstances, and they therefore direct me to say, that so soon as the company proposed to be established in Ireland shall have been so far matured, and such a body of directors willing to take upon themselves the management of the affairs of the company may hold out a reasonable assurance that the objects of ndae ,ter, u a a dequately defined will be the omoters of the company, as above named, as council n un th ei e l being e feared a r r , ried iu to t° them fft in the usual mode, be prepared to recommend that a charter of incorporation should be granted. " The charter will be required t) contain the pro visions usual in such case", restricting the operations of the company until a certain proportion of the capital is subscribed for, and a certain amount paid up, and re quiring a deed to be executed providing for the due go. by. whyerL,Nolradjesstwylilal, aernment of the company, and for auditing the accounts, and for ebforeing the payment of the sums subscribed by the shareholders. The particulars of these provisions I am, Sir, your ohedi , nt, servant, `• JAMES BOOTH. may be the subject of future arraagem . et. " Thomas Price, E , q ,Eastcoq cotta e , West Pinner." Nobody is worth anything who has not a comfort able share of vanity; it is the manner, and not the matter, of the thing that is offensive. -Eliza Cook's Journal. MARYLEBONE.—The Bishop of London has licensed the Rev Arthur Baker 8.A., of Wadham College, Oxford, late curate of Trinity Church. St. Marylebone. and the Rev. Thomas Walter Perry, late curate of St. Peter the Great, Chichester, to be curates of the newly formed district of All Saints, St. Marylebone. A new church, the foundation stone of which was laid a few days since by Dr. Posey, is to be erected in this district, and is to be consecrated on ;sTov. 1 (Au saiuti Day), ISA Shortly afterwards he again went out alone, saying he would take another walk. The butler states that he had never seen before the double-barrelled pistol, a new powder fl isk, and 32 bullets, wrapped in a piece of brown paper. The body awaits a coroner's inquest. THE POLISH BALL. The opposition that has been made in certain qnarters to the ball annually given for the relief of the Poles seems to have had hilt little effect; for the attendance last night at the Guildhall, when the fete• tival got up under the auspices of the Lord Mayor took place, was quite as large as upon any fortner occasion. Several of the civic functionaries, headed by the Lord Mayor, were present ; and about mid night the hall was completely filled with the 't Friends of Poland," many of them dr , seed in fancy Costumes —presentieg a coup d'oql not often equalled for variee gated brilliancy file decorations provided for the Nov-mber feast, were left untouched, and toe gay and parti.coloured trophies suspended about the hall of. forded a pleasing and animated contrast to the neutral physiognomy of the architecture. The windows and panels were, as usual, rieberl with gas, and the thou sands of burning jets which were thus visible formed not only a marked feature of embellishment, but threw the whole area into a blaze of light that rivalled day itself in gorgeous effulgence. The official chambers were devoted, as before, to the accommodation of the guess's ; and the ample resources of the Guildhall in this respect are too well known to need eulogy now. There is no lo cality in London where a large public ball can be carried on with the comfort and convenience ensured here ; and this without regard to numbers, as the vast profusion of individuals drawn together upon such occasions as the present has again and again de monstrated. In addition to the amusement of dancing in the great ball, an excellent concert was performed in the council chamber by Mdlle. Angri, Miss Dolby, Miss Boutin°, Miss Mevsent, Mies Ransford, Mr. Allen, Mr. T. Williams, Mr. Lefort, Mr. Wbitwortb, and others, conducted by Mr. Lindsay Sloper, whose exertions were in all cases gratuitous. The access to the concert-room was cut off to the late comer by the crowds that flicked into it ; but the ap plause and encores that reached the listeners in the neighbouring vestibules testified the extent of the gratification kindled b y the talent of the s eve r a l per formers. Besides the Lord Mayor, Alderman Car den, and Mr. Sheriff Hodgkinsoe, there were present the Earl and Countess of Devon, Lieutenant-Colonel Rowland Smyth, the Hon. Mrs. Rowland Smyth, the Hon. Mr. Stanley, Captain Townshend, R.N., Mrs. Townshend, Lieutenant-Colonel Rochfort, Mr. Anstey, M.P., Lady Webster, Lord Dudley Stuart, the Rev. Mr. Fi4, &c., &c. The funds of the Literary Association, we trust, will be considerably augmented by this reunion, which, we repeat, has never been excelled for fashionab4 brilliency. It is gratifying to find that the cause has thus been taken up so warmly ; and that the benevolent feeling which has always pre vailed in this country in favour of those unhappy men —who, in addition to the miseries of expatriation and the severance of domestic ties of the nearest and dearest kind, are thrown upon a foreign soil in. a state of absolute and hitter dependence—has not weakened. Thd wretchedness and suffering incident to such a position cannot be thought of for a moment without sensations of the deepest compassion ; and it is, there fore, a matter of congratulation that the means of the society, established for the express purpose of alleviating as tar as may be the bodily distress of these oppressed patriots, are periodically repaired by the subsidies gathered from such meetings as those in which the public participated so willingly last night.
