visited us, may yet again break over our heath, and that the best preparation for a continuance of peace is . the ability to resist unjust aggr ession .—(Loud cries of t• Hear, hear.") Whatever occasion meet arise I fear not—l doubt not—that the army and navy of England will always be found ready to maintain the honour and interests of that country in every clime and cir cumetance.—(Loud cheers.) Captain CAMPBELL briefly retuned thanks for the army and navy. The Lord Mayor of YORK then rose to propose " The Health of the Lord Mayor of London." He said— SOME) centuries have elapsed since the Lords Presidents of the North held their court in the now mouldering halls which adjoin the ruins of St. Mary's Abbey; and with the exception of some, slight reminiscences in an adjoining chamber of the reception which was prepared for " Bonnie Prince Charlie," I .have searched in vain the records of our city for traces of a visit so interest ing as we are favoured with to-day.—(Cheers.) The Chief Megistrana of the first comwercial city in the world visits the ancient metropolis of the north— (Cheete)—end although we can only give his Lordship •• a country cousin's welcome," that welcome is heartily and cordially proffered.— (Great eheering.) His civic sun is about to set, sod though it is too often the re proach of human nature taut we worship only the rising of the meridian sun, we are happy on this occa sion to welcome the departing " orb of day "—(hear, hear)—and take this opportunity of uttering a cordial acknowledgment of his munificent hospitality, and anxious desire to fulfil every duty of his high and im p:o-tant office. The toast was received with very great cheering in all parts of the hall. The Lord Mayor of LONDON said,—l cannot but feel much flattered by the very kind manner in which you have proposed my name to the present assembly; and allow me to take this opportunity of thanking you for those coati/ and magnificent preparations which were made for my reception in York, and the cordial welcome hich has been insured to me from your fellow-citizens. May it please your Royal Highness, my Lords, and gen tlemen, I assure you that when I had the honour of en taining, in March last, your Royal Highness and the chief municipal officers of the kingdom in the city of London, I had no idea of receiving so immediate a re ward. I proposed that gathering of municipal authori ties to meet your Royal Highness principally from the firm conviction that such a meeting, under the auspices of the chief magistrate of the city of London, would do much to forward the grand scheme which your Royal Hizhne , s originated—the great Exhibition of the In dustry of all Nations in 1851. In entertaining your Royal Highness under those circumstances, I was glad to avail myself of an opportunity thus afforded me of manifest ing, on behalf of the city of London, our warm attach ment to the throne, and also showing the usefulness of our vcnerab!e municipal institutions. The high respect raid this day to the office which I hold, and your kind ness to me personally, would amply repay me, if such were sought for, but I shall hale a fuller satisfaction it I feel that I have aided in the least that design which is calculated to benefit so greatly my fellow-citizens, our ciutery, and the world.—(Loud cheers.) The Lord Mayor of Yonx next rose to propose, "The Health of Lord John Russell and her Majesty's Minis.- tors," and said,—My Lords and Gentlemen—Were we passengers on board some noble ship, traversing the wide Atlantic, whilst the breezes blew and the billows swelled around us whilst the stately masts strained and quivered in the gale—whilst here and there the ligntning's flash showed some mighty hull dismasted and rolling rudderless upon the waste of waters, we should at least w hen the gale abated, and we were sail ieg in comparatively smooth waters—(Hear, hear) — be thaekful to the captain and the crew who had kept the dock during the storm, - and done their best to pilot the ;hip through—(Cheers)—though we might differ about a point or two in her coarse, or think it would have ;seen better to take in or let out a reef or two more in ter sails.—(Hear.) I propose now to give you "tt e health of Lard John Russell and her Majesty's Minis term "---(Cheert)—of torn who have done their beat to fulfil their arduous and important duties—(Hear, hear) —and I am sure have the good of their country at heart, whatever diff-rence of sip'nion may exist as to the best mode of effecting it.—(Renewed cheers.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL, On rising to return thanks for the toast of " Her M-ejesty'a 'Ministers," was very loudly cheered. His Lordship said—l rise for the pur pose of returning the most grateful thanks of her Ma jesty's Ministers for the honour which you have dune ten in drinking their heelthe. I certainly will not en ter (it would be the worst taste if I were to do so) into any political topic upon this occasion; and I am happy to think that if the conduct of her Majesty's Ministers is attecked, we have two Yorkshiremen in the Cabinet who aid be ready to defend it in this cooaty.—(A. laugh.) The citizens cf London have been apt to think that, in point of civic hospitality, our Lord Mayor is above all other corporations, but I must own that you have this day given us reason to apprehend rivalre, and I think the future Lord Mayors of London must look to their laurels that we may not lose our reputation for hospita lity and munificence.—(Cheers.) I feel that, on this occasion, we havO to consider what hopes we have of the success of the Exhibition of 1851, and I cannot but think that it is of good augury for that exhibition that so many of the chief magistrates of the cities and towns of this kingdom should have invited his Royal H.tghness and the Lord Mayor of London here, on purpose to express their wishes that the exhibition may succeed and prosper—(Cheers)—because I cannot forget that the chief magistrates of our municipal towns and cor porations are not like those in some other countries, the ore cures of the Executive Government, but that they c-,D30 from the popular wilt.—(Hear, hear.) They are the chosen of popular election—(Hear)—and chosen be e :me they are believed to have the capacity, along with the councils which are associated with them, of pre serving the Reece, of providing for the security, and of felting care of the health of the cities and towns in trusted to their charge,—(Hear, hear.) I a iy, there fore, that the mayors and chief municipal magis trates of this kingdom represent not merely their own views, but represent one of the most valuable parts of the institutions of this country; that, like those below them and those above them—like the vestry of the smallest parish, and like the Commons' House of Par liament—they derive their strength and their force from tliex origin in the popular will, and the enjoyment of popular c mfidence.—(hear.) And now, my Lords and gentlemen, let ma say that I partake with those who have spoken in hopes of the brightest kind for the ex hibition of next year. Ido so because I think that there are not direct, but many colateral, benefits which are likely to arise from this project—(Hear, hear)—and let us consider that we are now asset to try what can be effected by the arta of peace. Tnirty-five years ago the nations of Europe were emerging from a dreadful, a costly, and a sangui nary war, in the course of which war the va rious nations or Europe exhibited—let it be confessed—let it ever be gloried in—exhibited all the virtues which are required in war— courage and hardihood in enterprise, fortitude in enduring euhaiission for the sake cf their independence to the greatest end most painful sacrifice. They did all Ohs beenuse, whether wisely or unwisely entered upon, n.,ttonal indept,taderL:e tea's the ohject—a prise for which ev..rf effor:, should bt, tuade.—(llear.) If the nations of Ehr,,pe then exhibited, we may say, with scarcely an excei;tion, tee virtar:s which b...tortg to war, I think that at% or so many year: of peace it is now for us to show tract there are advantages which can be gained from peace—(Near)—that there are virtues which belong to peale.—(bear, hear.) I trust in the exhibition of next y ,ar we shall show taw.; We con promote the comforts, that we can enitirge the knowledge, that we can strengthen the kindly affections of mankind towards each ot her—(.lear, hear)—and thus produce effects which, great as those virtues were which were shown in war, will Le far more profitable to the world in general, and m ire consosiant with those lessons which we learn from religion and from morals. I trust, therefore, we shall allow not only that peace has her victories as well as war, but that those victories, while they have as bright, have a far purer glory than any that can be attained by combat and destruction of human life.—(Cheers.) I think if we see that result, not only this country, but the rations of the world will have reason to be grate ful to that Prince who formed this project, who has persevered in it against tall opposition—(Hear, hear) — who is about to reap the reward of his exertions (Cheers)—attended with no benefit but much labour to hiinself—(Hear, hear)—but undertaken with views of benevolence and love for the interests of mankind. Earl FITZWILLIAM, iii giving the toast of the "Royal Commissioners and the Exhibition of 1851," expressed his delight in believing that the Prince was not merely the ostensible patron, but the real author of this great scheme.—(Cheers.) 'The Noble Earl observed that he looked upon this scheme as likely to turn the thoughts, not of this country only, but of all nations, to an eme)a lation by which humanity was to be improved and ad vanced —(Hear, hear) to adopt the description of the poet- - In this small seminal principle there was an enfolded latitude of bough, under the shade of which, when expanded, might repose the industry of nations yet unborn."—(Hear,) He would add that the great variety in the weights and measures and coias of civi lized nations was an inconvenience worthy the serious consideration of all engaged in advancing this great scheme; and though it had been most wisely determined not to give prizes for the articles exhibited on this great occasion, he could have wished there had been one ex ci.prinn, and that a prize were offered for the best essay on this subject.—(Hear.) Earl GRANTILLE, in acknowledging the toast, ex pressed his satisf ac ti on t h at i t had been proposed by one who gave proof that h e did not merely wish to empty compliment, but had we ll reflected uponthe pay Y goOd n results which might flow f rom t hi s and succeedin g e hibitions. Earl Granville added—l may, perhans,t; allowed to add that, from having been lately in Bel gium and Germany, I can testify to the very general interest and feeling shown in those countries upon the subject.—(Hear, hear.) I found it a general subject of conversation among all classes, and nothing was shown but a feeling of goodwill and hope of its success.--(Hear.) I happened accidentally to say to a gentleman talking upon the subject that some anxiety was naturally felt as to the perfect success of the under taking, owing to our comparative inexperience compared with foreign nations of exhibitions on a scale of this sort. His answer was that there could not be a doubt that the practical genius of Englishmen would carry snele an undertaking to a successful issue.—(flear, hear.) I think we must feel that this confidence, not only shown by an accidental speech, but the anxiety of all mar.ufac . terers of Europe to exhibit—the demands from foreign nations thr greater space than the Commissioners are stile to allot— eo throw a very heavy responsibility upon ,r all ttr se .ho have co-operated to carry on this under • ing.--(llear, bear.) The Royal Commissioners, ani the exampl e o f hi s tr oy a l Hi g h ness an d the Te , ;:hhgai suppert given to th em i n t h e country, h v e t vr l e lr z u ,., te tha . t respensibility.—(Hcar, }:ear.)

Here I will add that when I last saw the contractor he stated that the magnificent erection de signed by Mr. Paxton would be completed by the time it was required.—(Cheers.) The Noble E irl concluded with announcing a meeting text morning of those mayors who could remain to confer with the Commis sioners upon practical difficulties which had arisen. The next toast, " The House of Lords," was proposed by the Lord Mayor of Yonx, and briefly responded to by the Marquis of CLANRICARDE. The toast of " The House of Commons" followed, and was acknowledged by Mr. E. B. DENISON. The Earl of CARLISLE, in proposing " The Health of the Lord Mayor of York, the Lord Provost . of Edinburgh, and the Mayors present,' said — lt is in deed an interesting and most suggestive sight to a( e the chief magistrates of so many communities, re presenting almost every branch of employment, every variety of opinion, no longer separated even by the borders which formerly divided ancient counties, assembled together as our guests in one central place, thus showing bow in our happy polity the most distinct local governments can, when required, put forth all the energy of the most determined centralization—(Hear, hear)—upon an occasion whose marked and distinguish ing feature is to do honour to human industry.—(Hear, hear.) This would not be the proper season, lam sure you will all feel, for entering upon the history or the merits of municipal institutions; but it is something to be permitted to borrow a brief recollection from the place in which we may be, and to mix the business of the present associations with the pest. You, my Lord Mayor, have reminded me that York in former times received presidents and princes. We might go still further back, for this ancient city witnessed the death of one, and probably the birth of another Roman Em peror—it gave a grave to Severn., possibly a cradle to Constantine.—(Hear, hear.) We this night see it receiving in the same ancient halls a princely person, at once the subject and the lord the duteous subject and the gentle lord —of her who rules -an empire wider than ever submittted to Ro man power, or was known to Roman science. —(Loud cheers.) But the days when York would have received the wearers of the Roman purple were days of declining empire, of decaying knowledge, of departing art.—(Loud cheers.) Ido not wish to use the language of undue compliment or unreasonable expectation, but may not he who has taken the foremost share in origi nating this great enterprise—may not all of you who have contributed to its effectual promotion, indulge the hope that you are giving a new impulse to civilization— (Hear, hear, and cheers)—that you are bestowing an ad ditional reward upon industry—(Hear, hear)—that you are supplying a fresh guarantee to the harmony of nations?—(Cheers.) Yes, my Lords, the nations are stirring at our call, but it 'a not to the trumpet sound Gf battle, or to the shout of homicide triumphs, but we are summoning them to the peaceful field of a nobler compe tition—(Hear, hear)—not built upon the superiority and predominance of one country and the depression and prostration of another, but all may strive which can do most to embellish, to improve, and to elevate their common humanity.—(Cheers.) This is a contest which I feel to be worthy of a civilized epoch—of the throne and people—of the Christian era; and it is because I feel confident that the heads of the municipalities of this country have done very much to promote the success of an undertaking of which the design is thus laud able, and of which the results may be so glorious, that I ask you to receive in the manner which befits it the health of our public-spirited and liberal entertainer, the Lord Mayor of York, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, and the Mayors who have honoured the banquet with their presence, and the municipal institutions of the country.—(Much cheering.) The Lord Mayor of Yoßit briefly acknowledged the toast amidst great applause. The Lord Provost of EDINBURGH offered the sincere thanks of the municipal authorities of Scotland ; and he would not venture to soy of Scotland that it had done much as yet for this great exhibition, but when the proper time came the Scotchmen would be found at their posts. They were very slow to move, and exceedingly anxious to see both sides of the shilling before they accepted it —(Laughter)—but having once made up their minds, they would be found not only doing all they could to forward the great exhibition, but among the specimens they would produce some at least which would deserve the approbation of more Commissioners than [heir own.—(Hear, hear.) The last time a Lord Provost of Edinburgh crossed the Tweed, he was asked to do so by his Lordship with the official in signia; it was at the head of a thousand of the burghers of Edinburgh to meet the English in the unfor tunate fisld of Flodden. He (the Lord Provost) wished the Scotch had had the good sense to stay at home— (Laughter)—for they not only lost a king and a crown, bat some 400 or 500 of the beat of the burghers.— (Laughter.) On the present occasion they had crossed the Tweed to meet the most amiable of Princes, and not to fight against him, but with him.—(Hear. hear.) If he wished for 1,000 of the burghers of Edinburgh to assist in London in keeping the peace, or in any other way in which he might choose to employ them, he (the Lord Provost) begged to offer his humble services with those of his fellows.—(Laughter and cheers.) The Mayor of Coax also acknowledged the toast. The toasts of " The Lord Lieutenant of the Three Ridings," "The Working Classes," "The County Ma gistracy," "The Magistrates of the Borough," and " The Lady Mayoress," followed, and it was midnight when the Prince left the table. As at present arranged, his Royal Highness will leave York at eight o'clock in the morning on his return to O borne. There was a grand concert and a ball in the Great AssPmlaly-room. York was brilliantly illuminated. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) COWES, OCT. 25.

Actuated by a noble spirit of emulation, the Lord Mayor of the northern capital endeavoured yesterday to vie with, or at any rate to respond to, the munificent hospitality shown towards his own and the rest of the provincial munici palities by the Lord Mayor of LONDON. Having been welcomed, not very long since, to the sumptuous banquet of the chief magistrate of the metropolis, it was but natural that these representatives of the principal towns and cities of England should be solicitous, if possible, to reciprocate, at least in some measure, the evidences of goodwill given in anticipation of neat year's Exhibitionoflndutry. This anxiety has been now happily alleviated —the Lord Mayor of Yoas having bad the distinguished honour not only of receiving to his board the head of the metropolitan Municipality, but the illustrious originator of the whole project, the august CONSORT of our SOVEREIGN. Yesterday evening, to employ the graceful language of the Earl of CARLISLE, the people of York saw their venerable and historic city " receiving within its ancient walls the princely r erson, at once the subject and the gentle lord of that fair hand which rules an empire wider than ever submitted to Roman power, or was onr known to Roman sciEnce 1" In graciously consent ing to accept these hospitalities of theprovincial Mayors of England, represented by the principal magis trate of the chief city of Yorkshire , his la' Royal High ness gave another and brilliant evidence of his regard to the interests of the general community. For the mere circumstance of a Royal Prince having par ticipated in an entertainment like that of yesterday, with a view to sustain the fraternal and energetic enthusiasm already evinced in behalf of the Exhi. bition, will not fail to impart an additional ardour to the preparations, and must necessarily inspire a greater amount of confidence in its ulterior success. For these reasons, us well as for many others sufficiently obvious to remove the necessity for their enumeration, we cannot but view the proceedings which have rendered the 25th of October, 1850, a day memorable in the annals of the municipality of York, with,a peculiar End en grossing satisfaction. These proceedings will, for in stance, exercise a beneficial influence over the inter course of the various classes of the population, uniting them together more firmly than hitherto in the bonds of sympathy and friendship, inspiring them with a keener sense of their mutual relation to each other, and filling them with a solicitude to advance by every means in their power the blessed labours of a peaceful civiliz Frequently as Prince ALBERT has already evinced the capacities of his large and cultivated intellect, often as his Royal Highness has betrayed the amiable suavity of his disposition, he has never done either the one or the other more agreeably than in the eloquent sentiments which fell from his lips yesterday. The oration in which he responded to the toast proposed by the Lord Mayor of YORK to the health of the PRINCE Coissoarr will go far, we are satisfied, to en hance his already wide and enviable popularity. Not only in the happy sentences which constituted its framework, but in the generous feelings which were at once its undercurrent and its inspira tion, that speech is entitled to a very peculiar and emphatic commendation. It reveals most conspicu ously the intelligence with which the illustrious orator watches the development of the energies of England, and displays, moreover, in addition to this, the truthfulness with which its welfare is made the object of his most earnest aspirations. Perhaps the portion of this harangue which will excite the largest share of attention throughout the country is one, however, merely incidental in its character. We mean the allusion made by Prince ALBERT to the abrupt and melancholy disappearance of that illustrious member of the Commission, whose sudden death is yet lamented by all citizens of the empire as a national calamity. Incidental as this re ference was at its commencement, it gradually assumed to itself, in the emphatic words of the PRINCE Comma, the tone of a funereal pane gyric. So admirable, indeed, is the eulogium in all particulars, that we eagerly transfer it to our leading columns as the posthumous homage paid to the de parted statesman by the CONSORT of our So- VEREIGN. " There is but one alloy," said his Royal Highness "to my feelings of satisfaction and pleasure in seeing you here assembled again ; and that is the painful remembrance that one is missing from amongst us—(Loud cries. of " Hear, hear") —who felt so warm an interest in our scheme, and took so active a part in promoting its success ; the last act of whose public life was attending at the Royal Commission ; the admiration for whose talents and character, and the gratitude for whose de votion to the QUEEN and private friend ship towards myself, I feel a consolation in having this public opportunity to express. —(Hear, hear.) Only at our last meeting, we were still admiring his eloquence, and the earnestness with which he appealed to you to uphold by your exertions and personal sacrifices what was to him the highest object, the honour cf his country (Cheers)—he met you the following day, together with other com missioners, to confer with you upon the details of our undertaking, and you must have been struck, as everybody has been who has had the benefit of his advice upon practical points, with the attention, care, and sagacity with which he treated the minutest details, proving that, to a great mind, nothing is little—(Loud cheering)— from the knowledge that, in the moral and intellectual as in the physical world, the smallest point is only a link in the chain, and holds its appointed place in that great whole which is governed . by the Divine wis dom.—(Cheers.) The constitution of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S mind was peculiarly that of a statesman, 'and of an English statesman.—(Loud cheers.) He was liberal from feeling, but conservative upon principle. —(Renewed cheering.) Whilst his impulse drove him to foster progress, his sagacious mind and great experience showed him how easily the whole machinery of a state, and of society, is deranged—(Hear, hear)—and how important, but how difficult, also, it is to direct its further deve lopment in accordance with its fundamental prin ciples, like organic growth in nature.—(Cheers.) It was peculiar to him that in great things as in small, all the difficulties and objections occurred to him first.. —(Hear.) He would anxiously consider them, pause, and warn against rash resolutions ; but having con vinced himself, after long and careful investigation, that a step was not only right to be taken, but of the practical mode also of safely taking it, it became to him a necessity and a duty to take it.—(Cheers.) All his caution and apparent timidity changed into courage and power of action, and, at the same time readiness to make any personal sacrifice which its execution might demand.—(Prolonged cheering.)" From this tribute of regard and admiration to the memory of Sir ROBERT PEEL, Prince ALBERT re verted to the subject of the approaching contest be tween the commerce and the industry of the various nations of the four continents. It will be observed with pleasure by all the well-wishers of the Exhibition, that his Royal Highness augurs well for the success of that great spectacle from the progress already made in the way of its development. So far from any in difference having been displayed in any quarters, as some have endeavoured most unfairly to inti mate, it would appear from the express declaration of the PIIINC€ CONSORT that, both «t h, me and abroad, the different competitors have shown them selves most zealous , active, and energetic. Another admirable portion of the speech delivered yesterday evening to pass noticed— we mean th a t in his Royal u Highn ess mus t no t b in which he took occssioa to commend the large and comprehensive liberty secured to all the citizens of England by her Constitution. " Taking this view of the character of our country" said the PRINCE, " I was pleased when I saw the plan of the Exhibition of 1551 undergo its ordeal of doubt, discussion, and even opposition." The remark was a graceful response to the many virulent attacks levelled against the whole project, and of all others was about the best calculated to disarm the fury of its antagonists. Such observations as these having been elicited by the festivities of yesterday, it mus t be sufficiently apparent that we had reason at the outset of our commentaries to felicitate the provinces at large, and the city of York especially, on an occasion so creditable to all parties concerned in it, and so directly calculated to advance the interests of the community, both social and commercial. We are rejoiced to find that the gauntlet thrown down by the POPE to the Protestants of all sects and denominations, subjects of her Majesty the QUEEN of these realms, has been so promptly taken up. The Pro testant clergy of Westminster, who at their ordination declared that the " Bishop of Rome bath no jurisdic• tion in this realm of England," have c ome f o r ward to vindicate the rights of the Church and of the country, which have been wantonly assailed by the nominatio n on the part of the POPE of a Romish ecclesiastic to the title of Archbishop of an English city, and by the illegal attempt on the part of the Court of Rome to organize a new territorial division of this realm. The impudent nature of this assumption of power, when compared with the utter impotence of him who as sumes it, appears at first sight so absurd, that many persons have considered the whole affair as too ridicu lous to be entitled to serious attention ; but to such persons we would remark, that this assump tion of power on the part of the POPE must not be considered as an isolated act, but as one of a series of acts, and that this Papal Bull must be read in conjunction with the acts and deeds of the ultra montane party n o t on ly in this country but through out, Europ e , and so read, it is impossible not to come to the conviction that this is an overt act in the great treasonable conspiracy for the destruction of the civil and religious liberties of mankind, for the perver • mon of education to the purposes of priestcraft, and for the re-establishment of a grinding, intolerant, per secuting, grasping, sacerdotal despotism. The POPE, by the publication of this Bull, evidently as sumes a right of spiritual supremacy over these realms, which is not only contrary to law, but is ab solutely incompatible with the existence of any other religion ; fur we find that this doctrine of the Papal supremacy, as expounded, not by an infu riated bigot of the 16th century, but by a statesman and man cf the world of the 19th—by M. DE FALLoux, late Minister of Public Instruction of the French Re public, and brother of Monaignore DE FALLOUX, one of the intimate councillors of the POPE—means not merely intolerance of any other doctrines but perse cution to the death of all who deny the Papal supre macy. " The Church alone is in possession of the truth, and it is the duty of every one who knows he is in possession of the truth to prevent by the most effec tual means in his power the propagation of error," says M. DE FALLOUX, and on these principles he justi fies the atrocious . massacre of St.Bartholomew's.f Again, M. DE MONTALEMBERT, who is at this momentin Rome on a visit to the POPE, has declared that, for the restora tion of what he and his partisans call " order," by which word they mean sacerdotal despotism, it is absolutely necessary that the most holy, but much libelled institution, called the Inquisition, should be restored for the purpose of extirpating Re publicanism, Socialissts, and, above all, that which is the parent of both—Protestantism; and this declaration was made in this very year of grace 1850, and preceded by a few months only the publication of this Bull of the POPE. But it may be said, these arrogant assumptions cannot be carried out without large pecuniary means, and the inability of the POPE to raise money is proverbial. To such persons we would observe that in Mr. NICHOLAS WISEMAN the Pora has appointed an agent whose peculiar talents for raising money from his penitents, by cajolery or worse means, are unrivalled. The following statement has appeared in the columns of a contemporary It is a well-known fact that the late Mr. Taylor, in whose cemetery at Way bridge are deposited the re mains of Louis Philippe, vas induced on his death-bed, on his bed of sickness, to disinherit his son and leave his large property of nigh 3,0001. a year to this very Dr. or Cardinal Wiseman. It is therefore not merely our consciences that we have to defend against the Papal Legate, bat our purees, the fortunes of English families, the independent condition of the land, and of the popu lation upon it." As members of the Liberal party, as friends of civil and religious liberty, as the unflinching advocates of the rights of the Roman Catholics to an absolute equality in all things with all their feflow-subjects,we regret exceedingly the publication of this Bull, as it shows too plainly that, not content with equality, which we would always strive to secure for them, the Roman Catholics now strive for supremacy, which we never will acknowledge, and in their attempts to secure which they can reckon for no support from the Liberal party. If during the course of the next ses sion of Parliament the question of divided allegiance should be mooted, how will it be possible to deny that the Roman Catholic owes allegiance to a foreign Prince, and therefore is, to a certain extent, an alien ? And if, seeing the treatment that Dr. Annul.' and other Protestant British subjects have received at Rome, it should be proposed to extend to the Roman Catholic worship in this country precisely the same toleration which is extended to the Protestant worship in Rome, and to treat those who publish the Bulls of the POPE in this country in a precisely similar manner to that in which those are treated in Rome who circulate the authorised Anglican version of the Scriptures, what possible right could the spiritual subjects of the Porn have to complain ? And, be it remembered, this would not at all interfere with the exercise of any one of their civil privileges ? Doubtless, should such measures be proposed, there would be, as there were prior to 1829, great professions of liberalism on the part of the Catholic party, and a stirring appeal made to liberal sympathies, but, seeing how the promises of liberalism then made have been kept (witness the Synod of Thurles, the denunciations of KOSSUTH by JOHN O'CONNELL, and the epistles by JOHN MEALS passim), we consider that the members of the Liberal party will be perfectly justified if they answer all such appeals with Vouz ravez voulu, Georges Dandin, vouz ravez voulu, and abstain from taking any active part in the matter. RETURN OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT. —The special train carrying his Royal Highness and suite left York at eight o'clock this morniug, and reached the Euston station at 12.50, thus performing the journey in four hours and fifty minutes. The Prince, accompanied by Colonel Grey and Lieut.- Colonel Seymour, immediately proceeded to the Waterloo station of the South-Western Railway, en route to Oeborne. RETURN OF THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON.— The special train conveying his Lordship and party left York at nine o'clock, and reached the Euston station at 1.55, the journey having been performed in four hours and fifty-five minutes. EXPERIMENTS IN THE MARSHES.—WOOLWICH, Ocr. 25.—Colonel Campbell, Colonel Cruttenden, and Lieut.- Colonel Chalmer, assistant adjutant-general of Artillery,with Colonel Pietet, of the Sardinian service, assembled in the marshes, at one o'clock r.at., to-day, to witness experiments with a concussion shell on a plan submitted by Colonel Pietet. The shells, eight in number, and 32-pounders, were fired at 400 yards range, and answered remarkably well, six bursting immediately after passing through the bulkhead, and two failing to explode, one owing to its going through a Previously broken and weakened part of the bulkhead, and the other going over the bulkhead without touching it, and becoming imbedded in the earth of the mound. The charge of powder during the firing was Cub. to each round, that quan tity, after repeated trials, having been considered more satis factory in the result of carrying the required distance, and being less liable to burst the shells at the mouth of the gun. POCKET TELEGRAPH FOR THE PREVENTION OF RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.- An ingenious contrivance for the prevention, in the event of railway accident, has been sub mit'ed for experimental use to the principal railway compa nies by Messrs. Brett, the projectors of the submarine tele graph between England and France. The apparatus is a pocket communicator for the guards or engine-drivers;which on the instant of any accident can, by the aid of a small roll of wire be so connected with any point of the main line of electric telegraph from the train or carriage by the guard himself, that, communications may be easily sent to announce or guard against accident at any station on the railway. VALE OF NEATIt RAILWAY.—The works on this railway, from Aberdare to Neat!), are being pushed forward very energetically. Large numbers of men are in full work on every part of the line, and it is said by sanguine expec tants that it will be opened from Aberdare to Neath by the month of March ; though better authorities seem to think that May is a more probable period.—North Wales Chronicle. THE SUPPLY OF HAMBURGH GRAPES.—The con tinued large importation of this description of grapes has caused them to be much reduced i❑ price. The samples which have last arrived from the continent have never been excelled if they have before ever been equalled, for size and excellent quality. THE WEATHER.—We had a very stormy night on Thursday. In the valleys we are blessed with a glorious autumn. The varied tints on the foliage of the trees, which is thicker even than in England, being now beautiful; but our sublime hills give us an intimation of the approach of winter, the summits of them being completely covered with snow.—North Wales Chronicle DR. PRICE AND DR. CAMPBELL.—We see with sincere pleasure that a cordial reconciliation has taken place between the Rev. Dr. Campbell, the editor of the Christian Witness and British Banner, and Dr. Price, the editor of the Eclectic Review, between whom there was a heated contro versy some months since relative to the transfer of the Eclectic into other hands. The health of Dr. Price is unfor tunately in a feeble state.—Leeds Mercury. We understand that Sir John Pakington, and Mr. and Lady Diana Pakington, are about to proceed to Rome, where they will pass the winter.L- Worcester Journal. - - THE SANGUINARY ASSAULT AT BATH.—Ogle Wallis, the prisoner charged with the murderous assault upon Mr. and Mrs. Coplestone, the landlord and landlady of the Queen-square tavern, at Bath, was on Thursday morning further remanded, in consequence of a certificate from Mr. Gore, the surgeon, to the effect that although Mr. Cople stone, considering the serious nature of his wounds, was going on well, he would not be able to appear against his assailant for some days longer. To prevent the excitement that would be certain to attend the production of the pri soner at the Guildhall, Captain Duff, one of the borough ma gistrates, went to the city gaol, and there formally remanded the prisoner for another week. Mrs. Coplestone is fast re covering from the wounds inflicted upon her. ACCIDENT AT THE BUILDING IN HYDE PARK.-- Considerable excitement prevailed yesterday in the neigh bourhood of Hyde Park, in consequence of an unfounded rumour that three men had been killed, through the falling of some of the newly-erected columns and girders. It appears that shortly after seven o'clock yesterday morning some of the men employed in erecting the columns incauti ously removed the poles used in shoring up the columns previous to the longitudinal girders being placed upon them. Shortly afterwards some of the men proceeded to raise the girders, and in fixing the tackle caused two of the unsup ported columns with the transverse girder to fall. Three of the men employed—Welsh, Gower, and Foley —were at first supposed to have been severely injured, and were conveyed to St. George's Hospital. Upon inquiry last night we ascertained, however, that Gower, who fortu nately had received only a slight bruise on the hip, and Foley, who had received a slight injury in the head, had left the hospital, and would be able to resume work in the grounds to-day. Welsh, who unfortunately had his leg broken, still remained in the hospital; but, upon inquiry, we were informed that he was in as favourable a state as could be expected. The columns and girder were broken by the fall; their place was, however, shortly after supplied by others. Viscount and Viscountess Eastnor arrived at Eastnor Castle on Saturday, the 19th inst., from Highcliffe, the seat of Lady Stuart de Rothesay, where they have been sojourning since their marriage. They were met about two miles from the castle by nearly 200 of Earl Somers' tenants, well mounted, who escorted them. Several beautiful tri umphal arches had been erected. They were received by Earl Somers and other members of the family. The noble pair were loudly cheered as they des ended from their carriage. The tenants. having partaken of the hospitality of the castle, dispersed to their several homes. TBE FRENCH .REPUBIAC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. General D ' HAUTPOUL left Paris for Algiers on Thursday. The Republicans have determined to abstain until the general election of 1852 from taking part in any elections which may take place under the law abro gating universal suffrage. In 1852 the disfranchised of the law of the 31st May will everywhere present themselves at the poll and demand to vote in confor mity with the fundamental law of the Constitution. In every journal there appears a reclamation against the police-concocted falsehoods of the recently pub lished brochure which bears the name of M. TIREL. In the National of yesterday M. FRESLON pronounces the statements of M. TraEr., so far as he is concerned, to be absolutely untrue. M. Ducoux, the ex-Prefect of Police, writes to say that of the 21,500 f. a month remitted according to custom by the Minister of the Interior to the Prefect of Police for secret service, he did not touch a sou in this respect, following the example that had been set successively by his prede cessors, M. CAUSSIDIERE and M. TEOUVE CHAUVEL. Prince CALLIMACIII, the Turkish Ambassador in Paris, had a long conference with General LAHITTE, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the subject of the Hungarian refugees. It is said that the Turkish Government has demanded the good offices of the British and French Governments against the menacing demands of the Austrian Cabinet. Letters from Toulon state that the return of the Vauban and the steamer Chimere, that had left on the 10th with troops, was looked forward to with much anxiety in consequence of the bad weather. The people of the town of Ouchda on the Moorish territory, close to the French possessions in Africa, have demanded the protection of the French troops against the bands of insurgents who devastate the country. It was thought probable that, owing to the state of Morocco, the Governor of Oran would have to demand reinforcements from France.

His Royal Highness left Ruston square yesterday morning, by special train, for York. The royal train left the terminus at 11.23, and reached Rugby (83 miles) at 12.59, having gone the distance, therefore, in 1 hour and 33 minutes. This includes the loss of three minutes while taking in water at Leighton, the slackening of speed' while running th roug h the Bletchley, Wolverton, and Blisworth stations, and round the sharp curve near the Crick station. Taking these facts into considera tion, and the time necessarily occupied in taking the first mile up the Enston incline—a very heavy one—the running speed must have been nearly 60 miles per hour. Mr. M'Connell, the locomotive superintendent of the southern division of the London and North-Western line, drove the engine from the Euston terminus to Rugby. _ A stoppage of three minutes took place at Rugby. His Royal Highness left Rugby at 1.2 o'clock, and ar rived at York at 3.54. The whole journey was conse quently performed in 4 hours and 31 minutes. THE LATE BURGLARY AND OUTRAGE AT BIRMING HAM.—The two prisoners, Christopher Healey and Joseph Marshall, charged with the burglary and atrocious outrage at the house of Mr. Marston, were brought up fur final ex amination, before Dr. Mason and Mr. Charles Shaw, borough magistrates, at the public office yesterday (Friday) morning. Mr. Tyndal, as before, conducted the prosecution, and Mr. J. Harding appeared for the prisoners. Mr. Tyndal stated that he should be enabled to show, if required at that stage of the proceedings, that the servant girl was correct in stating that they were together on her master's premises the Thursday previous to the burglary; that the hat found between the roof and ceiling of the h o use b e lo nge d to H ea ley ; that the same prisoner, about ten o'clock on the morning of the rob bory (the burglary having been committed at four) pur chased another hat ; th a t on th e same d ay b oth pr i soners were in the same hatter's shop in company ; and that Mar saeheaollndhandanadlrnt h p i ti c r h cb s a e s d bbNr-o H ke e n ale r y ep a a n i d re t d h . e o T n h e e re n p e a w ire ( d a for Marshall were both found - in their possession, and wotild be produced. The evidence of the hatters was accordingly taken, and the prisoners were fully committed to take their trial at the next assizes for the county of Warwick. The ?oker said to have been used by biarshall in his attack upon Mr. Marston lay bent and stained with blood upon the table of the court. ANOTHER BURGLARY IN THE STRAND.—On Thursday night another daring r, bbery took place on the premises of Messrs. Aycliburn and Co., the patent waterproof clothiers and swiminirg-belt manufacturers, 129, Strand. It is supposed that an entrance was effected into the warehouse during the night, and a great quantity of waterproof coats, capes. &c., carried off. Information was on Friday morning, on the discovery of the robbery, sent to the Police Commis sioners in Scotland-yard. and active measures are being taken fur the detection of the thieves. A reward has been offered for the recovery of the property and conviction of the burglars. TII IS EVENING, Will be performed SE IzVE lIISf RIGH P.

The regiment of Saragossa, waiting for orders of embarkation at Santander for Cuba, had revolted against its officers. The revolt, which had not been joined in by any officer, was, however, soon repressed. The regiment consisted of 1,200 men. The drum • major, formerly a member of one of the Centralista Juntas in Catalonia, was the person who put himself al the head of the movement. As soon as the men returned to their duty the drum-major was taken out and shot. The Bolsa was closed on the 20th. PORTUGAL. DEATH OF THE DUKE OF PALMELL A. Accounts have been received from Lisbon of the 19th. On the 12th the Duke of PALMELLA died at Lisbon, in the 69th year of his age. The deceased Duke was a lineal descendant of ALPHONSO 111., King of Portugal, and also of the ducal house of Holstein, and filled a large space in the history of his country with the record of his acts. His principal diplomatic achievement was his representing Poitugal at the Congress of Vienna, from which, but for his spirited note to Lord CA.STLEREA.GH, cf the 30th Sep tember, 1815, it was the intention of the great powers to have excluded the secondary states of Europe. When the revolution broke out at Brazil in 1820, he went out to Rio Janeiro, in hopes of being able to serve his SOVEREIGN, but finding his advice neglected he returned to Lisbon. He was mixed up with most of the events in the various revolutions of his country, but whether in or out of power, he was always respected, even by bis enemies. He was long Minister from his Court to that of St. James's. I❑ domestic life he is highly spoken of as an affectionate husband and father, a good friend, and kind master; and his hand was ever open to afford relief to the necessitous. Lord PALMERSTON had, it was said, sent in a strong note on the subject of the persecution to which Dr. KALLEY had been subjected at Madeira, for celebrating Protestant worship in his own house. Commodore MARTIN'S squadron was still in the Tagus. GERMAN Y. ENTRANCE OF PRUSSIAN TROOPS INTO HESSE-CASSEL. On the 23d the Elector of liEssE issued an ordi nance dissolving all the departments of the Ministry of Finance. They will be replaced by commissions subordinate to the Finance Minister, who will have the power of raising all the revenues of the country. On the same day, the Bavarian troops, acting in concert with those of Austria, advanced to the frontier of the Electorate, but did not move in. On the 24th the Prussian troops under General GROBEN occupied the military roads of Hesse (as they have a right to do by treaty), in order to form the junction of the two Prussian corps in Thuringia. General GRoBEN has orders to repulse any intervention by armed force. M. PERSIGNY'S mission to Berlin is for the purpose of prevailing upon Prussia to do her duty by inter vening in Holstein. In the expected case of a re fusal he is to intimate that the Powers will execute the protocol of London. FIRH AT A CHURCH IN THE CITY.--This morn ing, a few minutes after nine o'clock, great alarm was ex cited in the neighbourhood of Threadneedle-street, Bishop gate-street, by the discovery that the church of St. Martin's Outwich, at the angle of the street, was on fire. The Brigade engines front Watling-street, under the direction of Mr. Braidwood, and other engines were promptly on the spot. There was a plentiful supply of water, but as the doors were locked, and the sexton could not readily be found, the fire men were proceeding to break open the doors, but the keys having been obtained, the men after having, though with difficulty, got through the densest of the smoke, discovered the point where the fire existed, conveyed the hose into a vault underneath the church, and which had been converted into a furnace-room to warm the church by hot steam. The fire was fortunately subdued before any serious damage was done. The cause of the fire is supposed to be the ignition of some shavings. ELECTION OF THE MARINE BOARD FOR. THE CITY OF LONDON.—The election of six members to serve in the local marine board for the port of London took place yester day at the Guildhall. Mr..L Gibb, barrister, who had been appointed returning-officer by the Lord Mayor, opened the proceedings by announcing that his Lordship had received a communication from the Board of Trade intimating the se lection of the following gentlemen to act as members of the board on their part :—The Lord Mal or (ex officio), Mr. C. Yardley, magistrate at the Thames Police Court (ex officio), Mr. H. Green, Mr. Duncan Dunbar, and Captain Barnett, R.N. The General Shipowners' Society had recommended that the members to be elected by the shipowners should be chosen from a list of twelve persons, for whom votes were given as follows : J. Shepherd, 308 ; R. L. Hunter, 281 ; H. J. Hall, RN., 253 ; C. Ingram, 233 ; A. Ridley, 208 ; W. Drew, 69 ; J. Gilmore, R.N., 166 ; G. Denny, 158 ; H. Shuttleworth, 151; R. Embleton, 149 ' • J. H. Los combs, 116 ; and Rigmaiden, R.N., 26. The first six were elected. THE COURTS OF CHANCERY.--The late Vice- Chancellor Sir James Wigram has retired upon an annuity of 3,5',0/., being the amount to which a Vice-Chancellor, either resigning after a service of fifteen years or disabled by permanent infirmity from exercising the judicial function, is, under the sth of Victoria, cap. 5, sec. 86, entitled. It was the anxious desire of Sir James to continue his services to the public, but the impaired condition of his eye-sight pre vented the gratification of that honourable wish. His case was unhesitatingly admitted by the law officers to be one within the provision of the statute as to permanent infirmity. We are happy to hear that Lord Langdale's health has greatly improved, and affords hopes that he will long be able to perform his high judicial functions. MISTAKES AT LONDON BRIDGE.—The want of a standing committee or commission for the improvement of the; metropolis, to take advantage (of such opportunities as occur to preserve general concord in improvements, and to check injurious proceedings which are now constantly oc curring, is greatly needed. At present, what is done by one party is undone by another, and new buildings are permitted to be put up which must be bought to be pulled down before long. Efforts to beautify the metropolis we need scarcely look for ; the usefulness of the beautiful is not yet sufficiently felt; but the improvement of thoroughfares and the main tenance of open areas might be expected from the merest utilitarian. Every bad step is followed by a worse. Look at London-bridge —no sooner is a huge building erected to block um the Southwark end of the bridge than another is commenced, next the Adelaide Hotel, on the City side. Thousands were spent to improve this part of London, to get good approaches and open the river, and now all the advan tages gained are about to be sacrificed. Even the new cor poration buildings at Billingsgate appear to us to come nearer to the water's edge than seems desirable. The improvement of the banks of the Thames is much to be desired, and often talked about; but the tendency of actual proceedings seems, unfortunately, quite the other way.— The Builder. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY.—A great number of the hands recently employed by the above com pany, at Stratford, have emigrated to America. During the ensuing week a ship, sailing for New York, will convey se veral persons who had been employed by the company for many years past. We understand that the rate of wages at New York for engine fitters is higher than in England, and that there is a demand for various classes of mechanics con nected with railway works.—Chelmsford Chronicle. TEE WESTIIIN RAILWAY ..--HEN MA JZSTY's PRIVATE STATION AT WINDSOIL—A very elegant and commodious station is now in the course of erection at Windsor, close to the terminus of the railway of the South western Company. in Datchet-lane, for the especial use and accommodation of her Majesty and the royal family, and si tuated within a few yards of the private drive leading from the royal residence. The building, which will be in the Gothic style of architecture, will comprise, in addition to an elegant saloon, exclusively for the accommodation of the Queen and the Prince Consort, a waiting-room for the royal attendants, with retiring-rooms, BLc. The permanent statien o f t h e company (which will be, like the Queen's private sta tion, in the Gothic style) from the designs of Mr. Tite, is nearly completed. It will occupy an extent, in length, of 440 feet; nearly 300 feet being wholly protected from the weather. The width of the covered portion will be 52 feet, so that two or three trains can arrive, and the passengers leave them, at the same time. These erections now in pro gress will form, when completed, great ornaments in that part of the royal borough. AIS)INEI and COMMERCIAL N" S CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

Schroeder and Mumony, of New Orleans' ' l3 l, the last arrival, and extract some interesting para e g rfl e P r e• concerning the three leading staples which at tue e e e - s e sent time excite so large a share of the attention web, of consumera and speculators. Referrieg to Cotton , t era state:— ".The business doing in this staple during the Pe lt month has been on a moderate scale, it being Y et gly early in the season for lar ge su ppli es , an d c onsequee kes for large transactions.

Prices were affected to tn. extent of about of a cent, but holders generally 0 1 1 0 , tained a great deal of firmness, and being support ed eair but small stocks, succeeded well in maintaialeg rates. The market soon acquired more steadiness, the effect of the foreign news was balanced by the le/epo ligence received about the growing crop, giving b 2 s a means a favourable picture of its progress towar"e n e abundant yield. It appears that the continue d ba d weather, which we have had all the month, has not re the beneficial effect upou the plant which Wig' of been expected, for the complaints are nu merous 10 drought and shedding of boll s .

The reduced steeps of Coffee in this and the nart b , er ?. markets, the accounts of a considerable rise ,in the It' ll ter, and the latest news from Rio, according to wb 1 „ 0 the crop appears to have been over-estimated, have gif':d a decided impulse to prices, and we have witnessvt. during the last two weeks a rapid upward movelo eb ro The demand having been very active, 10,000 sacks d been disposed of during the period just ment i o ned 0 , 11 1 ,. the price for a good article to-day is 12f to 12tc. pse are' Some holders refuse to sell for less than 13c., and no confident of a further rise, there being no suePlie° - the way of which we know of."
