THE QUARTERLIES. THE UARTERLY REVIEW. No. CLXXIV. Already in our leading columns we have taken occasion to commend one of the most attractive papers in the current number of the Quarterly, the paper re lating to the closing scenes in the history of Louis Philippe. While pretending to be nothing more than a species of running commentary on a recently pub lished anonymous pamphlet by M. Lemoine, the con tribution in question is a vivid and genial descrip tion of the mode of life adopted by the late ex-King of the French in his exile at Claremont, and at the Star and Garter in Richmond. Subsequently of course the article depicts the last illness and dissolu tion of the fallen sovereign, accompanied throughout by an incidental portraiture of his character. So charmingly is the whole account penned, so dex terously has the writer discriminated among the Protean phases of this extraordinary man's genius, so agreeably does he banish from his mind for a while all petty prejudices and idle predilections, that we cannot but reiterate our previous recom mendation of the paper to our readers as one calcu lated as much to interest them as it is to prove ulti mately useful to the historian. Mr. Baillie Cochrane is not " let down" as easily as M. Lemoine by the Quarterly reviewer, seeing that in a notice of " Young Italy," that brilliant and delightful volume is anathematised by the critic as baleful in its influ ence and insiduous in its character. Equally virulent are the comments passed by another contributor on M. RPgnault's sagacious and painstaking history of the French " Provisionol Government." In review ing that narrative penned by the chef du Cabinet du 211inistre Provisoire de l' Interi eur the writer takes oc casion to tell again the infinitely more than thrice told tale of the rise and fall of the Provi sional Government. While doing so, moreover, be gratifies his spleen by scattering sentences of derision or of contumely upon all the principal actors in that great revolution —now flinging a sar casm at Marshal Bugeaud, now at M. Thiers, now at M. Marrast, now at M. Odilon Barrot, now at M. Ledru Rollin, now (and most of all) at poor M. de Lamartine. The insincerity of all these perversions of the story of the days of February, we must avow, has begun to pall upon the appetite of English readers. People have become gradually nauseated by the slan ders dedicated to the depreciation of the Provisional Government, insomuch that the revival of these ca lumnies is becoming at last altogether unendurable. Perhaps it is that the enemies of the Republic think to get their accusations at last credited in some quar ters by their constantrepetition. Supposing this, how. ever, to be the case they will find themselves most grie vously mistaken ; forevery new charge levelled against the founders of the Republic only elicits some new evidence of their magnanimity, only calls forth new evidence of their true and earnest civisrn. Perhaps the mcst substantial tribute yet offered to the leaders of the French democracy is this very work of M. Regnault, which the Quarterly has attempted now to vilify and now to depreciate. A better fate than this has been reserved for Mr. George Ticknor, the histo rian of " Spanish Literature," whose learned labours are commended with all earnestness in the opening paper of the current number of this distinguished periodical. The literature enriched by the genius of Calderon, of Queredo, and of Cervantes presents of course to the reviewer a fruitful theme for his scho larly disquisition. The criticism will be read at once with profit and satisfaction. "The Church and Edu cation in Wales" must arrest the attention of the more reflective readers of the Quarterly, and cannot fail, when read, to excite a great degree of solicitude. Another practical subject for reform-- the "Metropolitan Water Supply"—is considered further on with an equal amount of lucidity. The question is discussed in all its bearings, and in doing this the writer has heaped together a great quantity of interesting information. Kindred in spirit and feeling with the article on Mr. Ticknor's work respecting " Spanish Literature is a subsequent one on Colonel Mure's work relating to " Greek Litera ture." In the latter contribution the ingenuity and re search of Colonel Mure are duly recognized. " Siberia and California," while affording materials for a paper, attractive, alike to the geographer and the geologist, will prove equally agreeable themes for inquiry to the chiefs and bangers-on cf the moneyocracy. Such volumes as those recently penned by Mr. Ryan, Mr. Taylor, and Mr. Buffam have suggested the idea, and supplied many of the materials of this clever contribution. The most gossipping, and con sequently the most generally entertaining of all the articles contained in the current number of the Quarterly, however, as yet remains unnoticed; we allude to the amusing paper on the " Forms of Salu tation." The writer introduces us to all the tongues of ancient or modern civilization. Now the Greek hails us with his pleasant word of greeting—XccipE —rejoice, be glad ! The Roman cries out to us Salve! Vale !—be healthy ! be strong ! Then the Genoese in the middle ages exclaim Sanita e guadagno—health and gain ! At last the Italian greets us with Come sta Come state 7—how do you stand, be, exist ? We bear the Spaniard again, with his uenas tardes ? good late instead of good evening : and his Vaya con Dios, Senor Caballero!—go with God, Signor Cava lier ! The French phrase Comment vous portez-vous? —how do you carry yourself—or that other and yet quainter one, Comment ca va-t it 7—how that goes it ? The German Wie geht's?—how goes it ? and their other expression Leben sie wohl I—live well ! The Low Dutch Hoe vaart's ge . 7 —how fare you ? The Swedish Hur mar ni 7—how can you ? Our own — How are you ? and h my do you do ?—are all succes sively enumerated, arid are each made the subject for real. o It portion savours o f th of e a g some amusing and hu morous cr i t i c i sms.

CARDINAL WISEMAN. REPLY OF THE BISHOP OF LONDON TO TIIE MEMORIAL FROM THE WEST- MINSTER CLERGY. Yesterday the Bishop of London sent the follow ing reply to the memorial signed by the Archdeacon and Canons of Westminster, and a large body of the clergy of that city, presented to his Lordship on Friday : " Fulham, Oct. 28, 1850. " Rev. and Dear Brethren,—The sentiments ex pressed in the address which you have presented to me are in entire accordance with mine, and I am per suaded that they will be responded to by the unani mous feeling of Protestant England. " The recent assumption of authority by the Bishop of Rome in pretending to parcel out this country into new dioceses, and, to appoint archbishops and bishops to preside over them, without the con sent of the Sovereign, is a schismatical act, without precedent, and one which would not be tolerated by the Government of any Roman Catholic kingdom. I trust that it will not be quietly submitted to by our own. " Hitherto from the time of the Reformation' the Pope has been contented with providing for the spi ritual superintendence of his adherents in this coun try by the appointment of vicars apostolic, bishops who took their titles as such not from any real or pretended sees in England, but from some imaginary dioceses in partibws infidelium. In this there was no assumption of spiritual authority over any other of the subjects of the English Crown than those of his own communion. But the appointment of bishops to preside oser new dioceses in England, constituted by a Papal brief, is virtually a denial of the legitimate authority of the British Sovereign and of the English episcopate ; a denial also of the validity of our orders, and an assertion of spiritual jurisdiction over the whole Christian people of the realm. " That it is regarded in this light by the Pope's adherents in this country is apparent from the lan guage in which they felicitate themselves upon this arrogant attempt to stretch his authority beyond its proper limits. A journal which is generally believed to express the sentiments of a large portion of them at least (not, I believe, of all) points out in the fol lowing words the difference between the vicars apos tolic and the pretended diocesan bishops. Alluding to certain members of our Church who are accused of a leaning towards Rome, it says—' In this act of Pope Pius IX. they have that open declaration for which they have been so long professing to look. 'Rome,' said they, " has never yet formally spoken against us. Her bishops, indeed, are sent here, not as having any local authority, but as pastors without flocks ; Bishops of Tadmor in the Desert, or of the ruins of Babylon, intruding into territories which they cannot formally claim as their own.' This specious argu ment is once for all silenced. Rome has more than spoken ; she has spoken and acted ! She has again divided our land into dioceses, and has placed over each a pastor, to whom all baptized persons, without exception, within that district, are openly commanded to submit themselves in all ecclesiastical matters, under pain of damnation, and the Anglican sees, those ghosts of realities long passed away, are utterly ignored.' " The advisers of the Pope have skilfully contrived so to shape this encroachment upon the rights and honour of the Crown and Church of England that his nominees to imaginary dioceses will not ac tually offend against the letter of the law by assum ing the titles which he has pretended to confer upon them; but that it is contrary to the spirits of the laws there can be no doubt. As little doubt can there be that it is intended as an insult to the Sove reign and the Church of this country. " With respect to the conduct proper to be pursued by you on this occasion, it ought, in my opinion, to be temperate and charitable, but firm and uncom promising. " You will do well to call the attention of your people to the real purport of this open assault upon our reformed Church, and to take measures for petitioning the Legislature to carry out the principle of the sta tute which forbids all persons other than the persons authorized by law to assume or use the name, style, or title of any archbishop of any province, bishop of any bishopric, or dean of any deanery in England or Ireland, by extending the prohibition to any pretended diocese or deaneries in these realms. " It is possible that such prohibitions might not have the effect of preventing the assumption of titles by the Papal bishops, when dealing with their own adherents ; but it would made the assumption unlaw ful, and it would mark the determination of the people of this country not to permit any foreign prelate to exercise spiritual jurisdiction over them. " But there are other duties besides those of pro testing and petitioning, the performance of which seems to be specially required of us by the present emergency. Unwilling as lam to encourage contro versial preaching, I must say that we are driven to have recourse to it by this attempted usurpation of authority on the part of the Bishop of Rome, and by the activity and subtlety of his emissaries in all parts of the kingdom. We are surely called upon for a more than ordinary measure of watchfulness and dili gence in fulfilling the promise which we gave when we were admitted to the priesthood, to banish and drive away all erroneous and strange doctrines con trary to God's Word.' "Let us be careful, as well in our public ministra tions as in our private monitions and exhortations, to refrain from doing or saying anything which may seem to indicate a wish to make the slightest approach to a church which, far from manifesting a desire to lay aside any of the errors and superstitions which compelled us to separate from it is now re-asserting them with a degree of boldness unknown since the Reformation, is adding new credenda to its articles of faith, and is undisgwisedly teaching its members the duty of worshipping the creature with the worship due only to the Creator. " After all, I am much inclined to believe that in having recourse to the extreme measure which has called forth your address the Court of Rome . has been ill advised as regards the extension of its influ ence in this country, and that it has 'taken a false step. That step will, I am convinced, tend to strengthen the Protestant feeling of the people at large, and will cause some persons to hesitate and draw back who are disposed to make concessions to Rome, under a mistaken impression that she has abated somewhat of her ancient pretensions, and that a union of the two churches might possibly be effected without the sacrifice of any fundamental principle. Hardly anything could more effectually dispel that illusion than the recent proceeding of the Roman Pontiff. He virtually condemns and excommunicates the whole English Church, Sovereign, bishops, clergy, and laity, and shuts the door against ever y scheme of comprehension save that w hi c h s h ou ld take for its basis an entire and unconditional submission to the spiritual authority of the Bishop of Rome. " That it may please the Divine Head of the church, who is the true centre of unity, and the only infalli ble judge, to guide and strengthen us in these days of rebuke and trial, to op en our eyes to t h e d angers we are in by our unhappy divisions, and to unite us in one holy bond of tr u th an d p eace , o f f a ith an d c h ar i ty , is the earnest prayer, " Reverend and dear brethren, of " Yuur affectionate friend and bishop, " C. J. LONDON. " To the Rev. the Clergy of the city and liberties of Westminster." JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE. Among the many interesting :articles contained in the present lnumber of the above-mentioned perio dical, one of a biographical character is devoted to the career of the late " James Smith, of Deanston." An intelligent contribution on " Ceylon" is followed by an ingenious essay, entitled " Cogitations on what is the Field Drain." Another contributor, Dr. Anderson, has a paper on the " Economy of Manure," well deserNing of the most serious atten tion of the agriculturists. A chapter on " The South American Animal Manure," and another on " The Feeding of Horses," convey, in a popular and lucid form, a large amount of information. The whole contents are wound up by a detailed and comprehensive " Account of the Show at Glasgow in 1850," a subject interesting not only to our northern fellow• country men, the farmers of Scotland, but, more or less, to the whole body of agriculturists throughout the Unit e d Kingdom. The following signatures have been received since the presentation of the address : A. M'Caul, D.D., Prof. of Div., King's College, London. J. R. Major, D.D., Head Master of the School, King's Col.

BIRMINGHAM, OCT. 28.—Dr. Ullathorne, is obe dience to the recent Papal bull, was yesterday morn ing duly enthroned at the cathedral in this town Roman Catholic Bishop of Birmingham. His spiritual jurisdiction extends over the counties of Warwick, Worcester, Stafford, Oxford, and Berks. In conse quence of the novelty of the ce remony, and the dis cussion to which the Pope's ecclesiastical appoint ments have given rise, the cathedral, long before the commencement of the service, was crowded to ex cess, and it is stated that no fewer than twelve gen tlemen, formerly ministers of the Anglican Church, were among those assisting in, or witnesses of the ceremony. It was evident, however, that a large portion of those present were attracted by curiosity, and were not members of the Roman Church. Th e service commenced with a procession of the clergy, amongst whom were the Revs. Dr. Moore and F. Amherst, of Oscott College ; Dr. Aubert, of M ar y Vale; Dr. Weedall, Dr. i ewman, and Dr. Brown, President of the Sedgley-park Seminary. As the procession moved the choir sang the Psalais," Laudato pueri Dotniuum," and "Laudo Jerusalem." On ar rival at the altar a pontifical high mass was com menced by the Bishop, assisted by a very numerous retinue of priests. Altogether, from the number of the ecclesiastics engaged, the magnificence of the structure in which they were assembled, and the splendour of the habiliments worn by the priests, the scene was extremely imposing. The sermon announced to be preached by Dr. Newman, formerly of the Established Church but now Father Superior of the Oratorians in Birming ham, excited by anticipation most interest, and led chiefly, without doubt, to the numerous attendance 0 Protestants, who were observable in all parts of the cathedral. Allusions to the Pope's bull and to the controversy which it has induced were naturally expected, but references of this nature were " few and far between." Dr. Newman selected as the subject of his discourse (Matt. xiv., 25 and 26) the miracle of our Lord walking upon the sea. The sermon was long and extremely discursive, nor had it generally any close connexion with the text. After referring to the miracles accomplished by our Lord, he referred to the difficulties and successes of the Catholic Church at various periods of English and Continental history, and said it was impossible that the mind of his congregation could be otherwise than solemnly impressed by the momentous event at which they were that day called upon to assist. God's work was slow, but, in the end, sure to be ac complished. His faithful Church would ultimately be gathered together in one fold ; and, as one proof of progress towards such a consummation, the ' Catholics of England now rejoiced in the restoration of the Roman hierarchy. The people of England, ho for so many years had been separated from the See of Rome, were now about, of their own free will, to be again added to the Holy Church. The preacher contrasted the present times with some former periods of history. Catholic Bi.lops might now go forth with their croziers in their hands, and children clad in white testified to the revivification of the true church. The whole face of society was changed. Christ walked upon the troubled waters, and said, "Peace, be still !" They now enjoyed in England the blessings of that religion which was known only by one name —a holy hierarchy ; that religion which throughout 1,800 years had, under the patronage of the saints, remained the same. 300 years ago the Catholics of England became tired of the blessings they then en joyed, and they were deprived of the hierarchy. The mystery of God's providence, was now, however, ful filled. He (Dr. Newman) did not recollect any people on earth, but those of Great Britain, who, having once rejected the religion of God, were again re stored to the bosom of the church. But what had God done for them ? It was wonderful in their eyes. The holy hierarchy had been restored. The grave was opened and Christ was corning out. After referring to diffe rences of opinion between the Roman and Reformed Churches, the Doctor said that Catholics were mis understood and misrepresented. But Catholics placed their reliance upon God, and were indifferent to per secution and opposition. The opposition to which they were subjected was the castigation of the Devil. Roman Catholics knew the wisdom and love of the rulers of their Church. They knew the piety, the zeal, and the simplicity of the great Pontiff. They knew that the Holy See ordered all things for the glory of God, and not for the obtainment of worldly power. Let them not, on a day like that, indulge in feelings of triumph, but let them express to Almighty God their gratitude for the blessings he had thus con ferred upon them. He had no fear of the roaring lion now going about to terrify the weak minded. The lion might roar, but that in the present instance was all that it could do. Let them pass it by unheeded, for they might rely upon it the lion, boisterous and roaring as it was, could do them no injury; he (the preacher) had likewise no fear for the zeal of the Pope, the bishops, or the priests ; but he must confess that he did entertain a fear of the degeneracy of the Ro man Catholic people ; he urged them to be Roman Catholics not only in name but in practice also, for they who continued in the commission of sin were not true members of the Catholic Church. The above is necessarily a meagre sketch of a ser mon which occupied an hour and a half in the deli very, and the greater portion of which, owing to the preacher's feeble articulation, it was difficult to com prehend. The attendance at the cathedral in the evening to hear Dr. Illiathorne's inaugural sermon was quite as numerous as that in the morning. Those persons who have read the Doctor's letter will be already ac quainted with the import of his sermon last night. It related exclusively to the duties and responsibilities of the person appointed to the office of bishop in the Roman Catholic Church. The office had not been voluntarily assumed by him, but was an appointment by the Holy Pontiff, to whose authority the Catholic clergy were bound to submit. His duties were purely spiritual, not secular (with the exception of attention to the temporalities of the Church), nor political, and, as the interests of eternity were infinitely more im portant than those of time, so the office of bishop in the Church of God was infinitely higher, and its re sponsibilities greater, than those of an earthly pince and potentate. Throughout the entire sermon, which was eminently plain and practical, the Right Rev. Bishop never in the remotest degree referred to the controversy now waging against the Pope's assump tions. His language was free from the slightest tincture of acrimony, and the sermon, which lasted more than an hour, was listened to with the moat pro found attention. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE MEDITERRANEAN FLEET. MALTA, OCT. 16.—The Mediterranean squadron, which has been cruising for the last five or six weeks to the westward and northward of the station, has just been heard of by the arrival of the Scourge steam.- sloop, Commander Lord F. Kerr, with invalids. Early last month the Admiral, in his flag-ship Queen, 110, Captain Wise, joined the other line-of-battle ships, with Hague, 56, screw-ship, Captain Macdou gall, in company ; orders having been given to try the rate of sailing and the steaming merits of the latter ship. Bellerophon, 78, Captain Baynes, C. 8., re turned to this port, as we have before stated, and the squadron, consisting of Queen, Caledonia, 12C, Capt. Carter; Powerful, 84, Captain Hon. R. S. Dundas, CB. ; Superb, 80, Captain Purcell; Ganges, 84, Captain Smith ; La Hogue ; Terrible, 21, steam frigate, Captain Hope, C.B ; Firebrand, 6, steam frigate, Captain Knox, joined in a few days after wards by the Scourge, went on their cruise. The results, we understand, have, on the whole, been favourable to La Hogue. She sails well under canvas only, though in the trials she beat neither of the line-of-battle ships, except Caledonia. Under sail and steam power, in a smart breeze and heavy sea, she was little inferior to Ganges and Powerful. The former ship (Ganges) is said to;be the best sailer of the squadron ; but we believe there is little difference between her and the Powerful. Queen and Superb have quite lost their sailing cha racters in these trials against them. On one occasion we understand La Hogue had some trouble with the apparatus for lifting the screw, otherwise her ma chinery served her in good stead ; and in towing Queen against Firebrand, with Caledonia in tow, she went ahead rapidly. La Hogue left the squadron in Cagliari (Sardinia) harbour, for England. The squadron is represented to be AO ve very healthy; the Queen, since she left Malta, had more than a hundred cases of cholera, and lost thirty men. The steamers have gone into several ports of Sardinia, Majorca, and Minorca, in strict quarantine, for a few hours at a time, and at Palma, Minorca, obtained refreshments for the ships; the cruise has been chiefly off the before-mentioned islands, and when the Scourge left the fleet it was in Mahon harbour under quarantine for ten days, having anchored, on the 9th instant, for the first time since it quitted Malta. We regret to hear that we are not likely to wel come the return of the fleet to this port for several weeks—a matter of great consequence to our retail trade, at present suffering much from depression. Rear-Admiral Moresby, C. 8., the new Commander in-Chief for the Pacific, returned to Devonport from leave of absence on Saturday evening, and rehoisted his flag (blue at the mizen), on board the Portland, 50, Captain Chads, on Sunday morning. PORTSMOUTII, MONDAY.—The Hecate steam-sloop, Commander G. S. Hand, was paid advance to-day, and will, it is reported, proceed to Woolwich on Thursday, to be in readiness to tow the Brisk (about to be launched) to Greenock, where the latter is to be fitted with engines by Sinclair and Co. The Hecate went to Spithead this afternoon. The Britannia, 120, Captain Yates, was paid wages to-day. The Bloodhound steam-vessel has had her bottom coated over with composition to preserve it from ad hesive substances, &c. The Retribution steam-frigate, Captain Warden, i s going into dock to have an a ddi t i ona l f alse keel added abaft, being found to fly up in the wind's eye, and unable to carry sa il a b a f t. S he i s inadequately ' manned, and ought to have at least an additional fifty to her present complement. Her armament is also to be increased in weight and number of guns. ROYAL MARINE ARTILLERY.—We regret to an nounce the death of Capt a i n H enry , o f t h e a b ove dis tinguished arm, which took place on Saturday, at Bat 1, whither he bad lately retired on Admiralty leave to recruit his health. He served at the capture of Anhalt, May, 1809 ; at Fort Mobile, 1815 ; the victory of Algiers, August, 1816 ;. and was frequently engaged with • boats in the Baltic, and with the American troops in the Floridas. By his death First Lieutenant Henry Edward Delacombe, of the Wool wich division, attains the rank of Captain ; and Se cond Lieutenant George Le Hardy Burltoniof the Portsmouth division, becomes First Lieutenant. PLYMOUTH, MONDAY.- - Her Majesty's ship Bel lerophon, Captain Baynes, from Gibraltar, hove in sight outside renlee Point at nine o'clock this morn ing. The weather is very thick, and there is no wind, so that she will not probably get to her moorings be fore eleven o'clock. The Shannon, merchant steam-vessel, from London, was off the Start Point at half past ten o'clock last night, when she saw a large man-of-war showing two lights, with her head to windward. In consequence of the fog the steamer did not reach this purt until eight o'clock this morning. The crew of her Majesty's ship Portland bent sails on Friday. She will probably go out of harbour to day. Letters dated Mahon Bay, October 16, have been received from her Majesty's ship Caledonia; crew healthy; fleet continued there; fresh meat, 9d. per pound; eggs, Is. Gd. per dozen. II AYMARKET THEATRE. Last night was signalised at this theatre by the re appearance of Macready, the series of whose fare well performances has, alas! at length arrived. His reception was most enthusiastic. The entrance of the great tragedian on the scene of so many triumphs was the signal for a burst of heartfelt and vehement cheering, again and again renewed, a just and honourable tribute to the long and bright career of his transcendant abilities. The Macbeth of Ma cready needs no comment now. It is it the most masterly of his Shaksperian delineations. The agonising horror of the spectre-stricken mur derer in the banquet-scene, and the terrible energy with which the usurper stands at bay, fighting in his last stronghold for his blood stained crown, were rendered last evening by Mac ready with his wonted vigour and intensity, and drew down thunders of applause. With scarely a percep tible failure in physical energy, and with a deeper mellowness of tone, this illustrious artist quits the stage in the fulness of his fame, in the autumnal rich ness of his glorious powers. The plaudits amidst which the curtain descended were speedily inter mingled with loud calls for Macready, who bowed his acknowledgments to as enthusiastic a band of spec tators as ever shook the walls of a theatre in tendering a deserved meed of honour to so eminent a combina tion of prokssional and private worth. The compli ment of a call was likewise most fitly extended to Mrs. Warner, whose Lady Macbeth was characterised by the usual energy and judgment of that established favourite of the play-going public; and to Mr. Da venport, an excellent and valuable performer, who, in Macduff, gave evidence of sterling qualifi cations, which will, we doubt not, confirm in , other characters, the favourable impression which he made upon the Haymarket audience on the occasion of his first appearance before them last night. The general getting-up of the piece is creditable to the management, the supernatural department in par ticular being very effectively and carefully arranged. Miss P. Horton, as Hecate, and the several singing witches, did due justice to Locke's sublime music, and Bland and Selby were able coadjutors in malignancy with Stuart, whose representation of the principal of the Weird Sisters was a most artistic and striking development of the features of a part which, in ordi nary or careless hands, might pass unnoticed in the general throng. The house was completely crowded, every available seat being occupied at the rising of the curtain. ADELPHI THEATRE: A " S creamer," from the pen of Mark Lemon, wss produced here last evening, und e r th e titl e o f The School for Tigers ; or the Shilling Hop, and achieved a true Adelphi success. Panels (Wright), after having for many years been the first whip among the coach men of the aristocracy, and having " druv two Rus sian Ambassadors," retires from the box to the coun ter, and assisted by his pretty daughter (Miss Col lins), opens a cigar shop, and also gives instruction to youths aspiring to be tigers. This school for tigers is admirably managed ; there is a class of twenty of them, all attired in tights and tops, who are regularly instructed and catechised by Wright. The dialogue in this scene is full of ad mirable hits at the lollies of society, and each hit is delivered with most telling effect. Among the other tigers there is one, a rustic boy fresh from the country, admirably acted by Miss Woolgar, who, at first the object of the ridicule of the class, soon surpasses them all, and becomes the very model tiger of tigers. There are sundry love passages between this youth and the daughter of the coachman, which were excellently given by Miss Woolgar and Miss Collins, who acted with great sprightliness and point. The Adelphi young laiies looked admirably in their tops and tights. Miss Woolgar as the rustic, was beautifully natural, and Wright was excessively funny. The applause at the conclusion was immense, and Wright and Miss Woolgar were called before the curtain. The house was crammed to suffocation. OLYMPIC THEATRE. After the performance of Stirling Coyne's grace ful comedy of My Wife's Daughter, at this theatre last evening, a most humorous, mirth-provoking, good old fashioned broad farce was produced, entitled Allow me to Apologise. This farce is of the good old Liston school, and since the days of Liston we have seen no such rich and unctious representation of stolid self-satisfaction, of aptitude for perpetually getting into scraper, of panic terror when in them, and of utter inability to get out of them, as that of Compton, as Goliah Goth, in Mr. Wooller's new farce Allow me to Apologise. The nature of the character may be imagined from the name ; Goliah Goth, the original Goth, as he boasts himself, imagines that he may do or say ,what he likes provided he is ready to apologise. " I beg to apologise" with him settles every score. At length, however, Goliah is, as he expresses it, in " a fix" ; he has been introduced to two young ladies, wards of Sir Peter Pedigree, bas made love, and offend to both, in tending to marry the richest when he shall have dis covered which that is, and to apologise to the other ; but the girls having compared notes agree both to accept him before he shall have had time to make his inqui ries. Under these circumstances poor Goth has no thing left for it but to sham mad, which he does to the great terror of Sir Peter Pedigree (capitally acted by Mr. Cr. Cooke), who is always talking of his dead relations, and to the great amusement of the young ladies. At length an explanation follows, and Goth is allowed to apologise, and thus escapes. since the days of Liston we have seen nothing that is so near an approach to him as the Goliah Goth of Compton ; he kept,the house in a roar from the commencement to the termination of the farce, and was called on at the conclusion and cheered most heartily. The house was very well attended. v24bittiort NEWMARKET RACES. (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) Handicap Plate of 1001.

EXTRAORDINARY STEAM-BOAT COLLISION IN THE FRITH OF CLYDE. About twelve o'clock on Saturday forenoon last acol• lision of a most alarming character, though happily not attended with any loss of life, occurred between the Duntroon Castle steamer, from the Isle of Skye, and the Duke of Cornwall steamer, from Glasgow to Campbelton. The particulars of the occurrence, so far as we have ascertained, are these :—At the hour stated the passengers in the Duntroon Castle were alarmed by the close proximity of a steamer, which afterwards proved to be the Duke of Cornwall, which had just rounced Gourock-bay, and was proceeding in the direction of the Clough• lighthouse. The captain of the Duntroon at once rang his bell to warn those in the Duke of Cornwall of their danger, but this warning was either not heard or unheeded. At this time both vessels were approaching each other at full speed, and the Duke of Cornwall was evidently in tending to cross the bows of th e D untroon . Seeing this the Captain of the Duntroon very fortunately stopped his engine, and was proceed ing to back his vessel when the collision oc curred. The Duntroon came on to the Duke with fearful violence, carrying away her starboard paddle-box and wheel, disabling her engine, and sticking fast amidships of the Duke. The bows of the Duntroon were stove in almost close to the water's edge. The passengers, we need scarcely say, wer e in the most fearful state of alarm, which was only allayed by other steamers (the Celt and Lady Kel burne) coming up. The Lady Kelburne hove to and took off all the passengers of the Duntroon, as also those of the Duke of Cornwall. A hawser was after wards attached to the Lady Kelburue and Celt from the Duntroon, but although both vessels put on all steam, it was nearly two hours before the Duntroon and Duke were disengaged, so firmly were they wedged together. Both vessels were heavily laden with goods. The Duke was towed into Greenock by the Celt, and the Duntroon, after having the greater part of her cargo shifted to the stern, steamed up to the Broomielaw. That there was gross n eg li gence i n th e s t eer i ng of either one or other of the steamers is perfectly Ferran), but as the matter will, no doubt, be thoroughly ny fnei lt pwe o perfectly ifde f eac o ay r trl t ,y u i wtnaasodttueiodl astonishing sf a hho t iart t v, h geh e abhd c eo o ew l in - t a been v investigatedi n g p s 0: a cl:c a i k t,:r roebtldy. the no altduohterseestodhe (w,, .tl.t authorities, we refrain from giving ery this collision could h ave occurre d i n open d ay , an d i n a frith eight miles broad, without the grossest negli gence. Had the weather been rough, one or both vessels would have been in danger of going down. The letters from Rouen refer to the market for manufactures as being calm. Quotations, however, were nevertheless fairly maintained. THE GOVERNORSHIP OF ST. HELENA.—Lieute.. nant-Colouel R. Clarke, Royal Artillery, has, in consequence of the death of Sir Patrick Rosa, assumed the temporary GronwrilLip the THE EXHIBITION OF 1851• EDITOR tart O i r le T i H n E yo S u U r N. paper of TO T a li n E excell Excellent Tuesday evening last you directed special attention to several " eyesores and blemishes" in the metropolis, which everybody must agree with you in thinking ought to be removed before the period of the great gathering of all nations to th e H v d e -park Exhibition of next year. You likewise notice one or two of our public monuments and buildings, which also, for the credit of the country, require to be completed by that time. There is one important building, how ever, which you failed to mention, na mely, the new Howes of Parliament. When it is considered that, next to the great "Glass Palace," this national edi fice will command th e grea t est s h a re of curiosity and attention from the multitudes then assembled, m any of whom will then have visited London for the first and last time, it seems strange that the Government has not made more strenuous efforts to bring it to a state of completion. Two hundred hands employed upon it during the last six months would have served to have finished it externally, whereas during that period there has scarcely been a man engag e d upon its walls. This at any rate is not setting the p u bli c a very brilliant example of making earnest prepara tion, by way of " setting their houses in order," for the celebration of so novel and auspicious an event as the challenging the whole of mankind to wit ness and compete with our attainments in science and the fine and useful arts. It does not say much for the manner in which her Majesty's Ministers, though through the spontaneous generosity of the public they have been relieved from all; pecuniary responsibility in re gard to this particular oc casion, are di sposed to second and support the patri otic enterprise of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort. It is, h owever, not yet too l a t e , if a hearty good will exists o n th e part of the a u th o rities, to render this great wor k more worthy of general criti▪ cism and scrutiny. By proper explanation it wo uld, perhaps, be e ven possible to get rid of th e ne rvous timi▪ dity of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the rest of the Ministers at the dreaded names and more dreaded opposition of Mr. Hume and Mr. Cobden. " For one night only, " y as the play bills say, these redoubtable champions of the public purse, in so reasonable a cause , might b e in duced to forego the severity of their audit of the national expenditure. If firm firmness of mi n d enough could be mustered by the Minister, it might be easily shown that it would redound to the public credit, and not in the end diminish the public purse, t o fi c i s h this structure at once and as it were off hand ; and that the industrious labourers, artisans, and me chanics, with their wives and families, would be the chief gainers by such an arrangement. In this great undertaking the pride, and genius, and patriotism of the British nation is at stake. Hoping, therefore, that upon this interesting emergency the Govern ment, the press, and public at large, will a l l strenu ously combine to do their duty, I remain, Sir, yours, &c., ONE OF THE PEOPLE. October 23. The merchant ship Queen Victoria, Captain Nixon, which left Quebec on the 20th of September, arrived here last night. On the banks of Newfotpidland, on the Ist of October, lat. 45 N., long. 49 30 'W., pasted the water-logged ship Douglas, totally abandoned; and 30 miles N.N.W. of Scilly, on the 25th instant, saw a schooner of about 100 tons register, bottom up; had previously passed a quantity of wreck, including a chair, a chest of drawers, and a sack of flour, sup posed to have belonged to the schooner. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, OCT. 28. The Queen and Prince took their accustomed early walk this morning in Osborne Park. Their Royal highnesses the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the younger members of the Royal family, walked and rode as usual. Sir James Clerk left Osborne early this morning for London. Mr. Abbott Lawrence, the American Minister, had an interview with Earl Grey yesterday at the Colonial office. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office from the Governors of the North American Colonies. SIR EDWARD BULWER LYTTON. Our readers will share in the cordial satisfaction with which we publish the following letter. We con cur in Sir Edward Lytton's opinion both of the ave rage quality of talk and of the rumour in question (seeing it is, happily, without foundation) ; yet we think the public will hardly regret any circumstance which may elicit eve❑ half-a-dozen lines from the author of the " Last of the Barons :" TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—A paragraph has appeared in The Sun, co pied from a provincial paper, stating a rumour to the effect "that I have lost the use of both my ears, and have been in a very desponding way ever since." Permit me to inform you that I have as much the use of my ears as ever I had ; and, if I am in a des ponding way (which lam not myself aware of ), it must be rather owing to the use of my hearing than to any loss of that faculty, since it does not seem to me that the average quality of talk (and the rumour in question is, perhaps, a fair specimen of it) possesses much that is calculated to cheer the animal spirits or contribute to intellectual enjoyment. I should rather say the contrary.—l am, Sir, Ste., EDWARD BULWER LYTTON. Knebworth, Oct. 26, 1850. TEMPERANCE DEMONSTRATION AT DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Last evening a numerous meeting of the friends and advocates of temperance principles took place at this theatre. The boxes were well filled, and the crowded pit and gallery presented a very animated appearance ; while, as a further proof of their sin cerity in the temperance cause, the scale of prices set down in the placards indicated the assemblage of a paying audience. Mr. Lawrence Heywood, M.P. for Derby, pre sided ; and on the platform were seen many well known advocates of teetotalism. Previous to the commencement of the business, letters of apology, it %as stated, had been sent by Lord Ashley, Earl Harrowby, Lord Kinnaird, and other gentlemen, and last, though not least, a note was read from the Duke of Wellington, in reply to an in vitation to be present, in which his Grace expressed himself much concerned that his public duty would prevent his being in town on the day of the meeting. The reading of his Grace's note was received with applause, though it was manifest that the Duke was not viewed precisely in the light of " a teetotaller." The CHAIRMAN having opened the proceedings by a brief speech, Mr. CASSELL then addressed the meeting at consi derable length, enforcing with much earnestness the duty of spreading the principles of teetotalism, which had now taken root in the affections of the people. He stated that the executive committee of the great Exhibition next year had decided that among the tenders for refreshments to be supplied at the Exhibi tion, no intoxicating liquors should be permitted, so that as far as that building was concerned, no one would be allowed to be " drunk on the premises."— (Laughter and cheers ) Mr. GEO. CRUIKSHANK was the next speaker, and clahnedi Shakspere as a teetotaller in principle, quot ing in proof the comic appeal of Sir Toby Belch— %%hose very name had been made disgusting—in favour of " cakes and ale," as well as the remorseful outpourings of Cassio after being seduced into drunk enness. The Shapcott family, seven in number, performed a musical piece on the Sax horns at this stage of the busi ❑ess, much apparently to the satisfaction of the audi ence, by whom it was evidently felt as a relief to the more serious matters brought before them. Speeches were afterwards delivered by Mr. Parker, who described himself as a working man, the Rev. Mr. Foster, of Kentish town ; the Rey. Mr. Alacree, and the Rev. George Copway, the Ojibbeway Chief. The speech of the Ojibbeway chieftain was listened to with much attention, and excited great applause, being, in fact, by many degrees the most graphic dis play of the evening. He spoke with a good accent, and his natural flow of eb,quence was much aided by his free and striking gesticulation. His speech had reference ebiefly to the effects of intemperance on the Indians, caused by the introduction of " fire-water " by their civilized white brethren, and he was enthusiastically applauded at many portions of his address. One or two speakers followed, after which a vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the pro ceedings. EMIGRATION.—Within the last two months, two ships have sailed from Liverpool, taking out nearly 300 per sons, consisting of farmers, labourers, clergymen, and military men, their destination being Milani County, in Texas, the present property of the Universal Emigration and Coloniza tion Company. On arriving at Galveston, the port of debar kation, the emigrants arc met by one of the directors of the company and the superintendent, and means of conveyance and comfort are found for them. One of the features attaching to the plan i that the emigrant need not cripple his resources by immediate purchase of land, but by paying 5 per cent. per annum on the amount of purchase money, he may retain the freehold right and titles for him solf and family, and when his means admit of it take the land off the hands of the company. The land is prairie, and sells at tls. an acre. The emigrant has the option of choosing his land on arrival out. A ship will be laid on soon from London. The passage money is very low. The ships gone from Liverpool are the John Garrow, 800 tons, and the City of Lincoln, 1,200 tons. A CABMAN'S TBICK.—The rewards paid to cab men upon the immediate restitution of property left in their vehicles accidentally lead to the exercise of the ugly inge nuity of that brotherhood in many ways. A gentleman had occasion to write to the depot in Broad-street some days ago, under the following circumstances:—He hired a cab to take him and his luggage, amongst which was a gun case, from Euston-square to the railway terminus at Pad dingtcn. When be arrived at the station the cabman, with the most obsequious activity, proceeded to unload, and very quickly drove off upon receiving his fare, but scarcely had the cab disappeared when the gentleman missed his gun case. The consequence was that the journey was post poned, and the gentleman returned to his house; but on his way he was informed by a policeman that the cab man who bad just left him at the station was by that time in Broad-street, depositing the gun-case which had been left in the cab, and to a considerable portion of the value of which the driver would be entitled for his honesty in giving it up. The owner of the property wrote to the commissioner at Broad-street, representing the fact that the cabman had made the " mistake" intentionally, for the pur pose of establishing a claim to the reward ; and received an answer from the depUt, expressive of positive belief that the case was exactly as the complainant had described it, but submitting that the delinquent must still be rewarded, in the apprehension that a refusal would aggravate the system of robbery which the plan of restitution had been made to diminish. The complainant was then obliged, before he re ceived his gun-case. to pay the (under the circumstance;) reduced penalty of 10s. as a recompence to the rascal by whom he had been put to expense and subjected to disap pointment. BURGLARY AT BRISTOL.—On Sunday evening, during the temporary absence of the family, the house of Mr. W Turtle, Old Park, Bristol, was burglariously entered, and a large quantity of wearing apparel and other property was taken off. The police suspected a man named Haynes, whom they captured, and in whose room they found all the property, with other stolen articles, and a complete set of burglars' implements. He was brought before the magis trates at Bristol yesterday, and remanded. INCENDIARISM.—Another incendiary fire took place last Friday in Cambridgeshire. The rick-yard of Mr. Eliot Smith. of Ginton, was first fired, but the labourers ap plied themselves with such good will to the work of extin guishing the flames, when an alarm was given, that only one stack was consumed, INCENDIARY FIRE IN ESSEX AND APPREHENSION OF THE INCENDIART.—On Friday evening, about half-past six o'clock, a stack of barley, containing about 30 quarters, standing on an eminence near the mansion of George Collyer, Esq., army agent, of Craig's-court, London, bat whose country residence is at Mascall's, South Weald, near Brentwood, was discovered to be on fire. An Irish lad, who had just been discharged from Ilford gaol, overtook a carter coming from London to Brentwood, and told him he wu going up to Collyer's to endeavour to get some " grub;" it appears he did not go, but went and wilfully set the stack on fire, which was in the course of a few hours entirely con sumed. From the description of him by the carter he was immediately taken into custody by the police. He was very saucy, and said he did it expressly for the purpose of being transported out of this country, as he was heartily tired of it. THE LATE LORD WILLIAM BERESFORD.—The mortal remains of the late Lord William Berestord were re moved from the Regent's-park Barracks on Friday last, for Curraghmore, county of Waterford, where the funeral ob sequies will be celebrated this day or to-morrow. The Mar quis of Waterford and the Rev. Lord John Beresford, brothers of the deceased, arrived in London on hearing the news of oNoblefa sud d en f p demiseth t heir n i o s b s l e a i d r e l t a o t i v h e a ' , s .e demise.be e n th e r • ted in a cold caught at Kew Gardens. f Talbot was the only relat iv e of the Noble Lord The e lt p res ent at his decease.. abrealyasirs, w hich or iginated Th e weekly reviews of the produce markets at Amsterdam and Rotterdam state that the prices of coffee, sugar, indigo, rice, and tea were well supported. There was, however little animation in business, the demand generally being for immediate consumption. Java tea was held at an advanced quotation. The report from Antwerp alludes to an average amount of business, with firm quotations f.r)r flit inkjority of articles. .....0 ISG ,~: ,~ %.( 1 d~ f~ 0 11 19 1 4 ...
