TO CORRESPONDENTS. No communication can be attended to unless authen. ticated by the name and address of the writer. Rejected communications cannot be returned. Umtata LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1851. The great meeting of the ,Roman Catholics has taken place in Dublin, and it was left to Mr. Joins REYNOLDS, Mr. KEOGH, Mr. MooRE, and the gentle man who calls himself Roman Catholic Bishop of Edinburgh, to do the violent, and to ostentatiously violate the law, the Irish Prelates cautiously abstain ing from so doing, none of them, with the single ex ception of the "sweet Dove of Elphin," even ventur ing to recommend others to do it ; and the dove itself was content with cooing out a vague generality, that " any law which was contrary to morality and in fringed on the rights of conscience no Christian was bound to obey," a generality, however, which we would cautiously advise the dove from attempting to ventilate in the atmosphe're of Rome, should he again visit the banks of the Tiber, seeing that any such allusion on his part to the rights of conscience in that c►ty, where no religion is tolerated save the Roman Catholic, would assuredly lead to the caging of the said dove by that Holy Inqui,ition, the establishment of which in every county of Europe is the avowed object of the efforts of Dr. PAUL CULLEN'S model legislator, the Count DE MoNTALEMBERT. The great star of the party, although offered an engage ment, prudently declined to accept it. Cardinal WISEMAN was not at the meeting, but sent a letter of excuse, in which he did not desig nate himself Archbishop of WESTMINSTER. The Cardinal prudently abstained from being present himself, and as prudently he no doubt re strained that enfant terrible, HENDREN, the man of damaging admissions, from attending ; at all events, the writer of the Talbot letters was not present, and the sham English hierarchy was represented by Dr. ULLATHORNE, who declared his intention of avoiding collision with the law if possible. He could not, however, he added, " possibly withhold the signature of his office—which was inseparable from his person, and was indicative of his title, though not in the legal sense of the word—from certain documents, without himself becoming a recreant to the Church of GOD, and an apostate to his high office. Therefore, where he could not otherwise fulfil his duty, be would append the whole designation of his office— where it was needful it should be done. Then as to the consequences of so acting, he had come to the conclusion, after mature deliberation, that he could not have recourse to the purse which was con fided to him for the support of the clergy and the promotion of religion, for the payment of fines in flicted by this penal enactment. He was prepared at once to go to gaol.—(Tremendous cheering and waving of hats, handkerchiefs, &c.) But should his spiritual ,children feel the want of their pastor, it would be no acquiescence in the penal Act, but a strong protest against it for them to raise a fund—by a penny subscription, suppose—for the purpose of delivering him out of gaol. He thought the inhabi tants of Birmingham would be ready to enter into such a protest if needful, and that the Government would tire of prosecuting before they tired of deliver ing him out of gaol." We think we may gua rantee to the people of Birmingham that they will never be called upon for the penny subscription, if Dr. ITLLATHORNE adopts the prudent course which he has here laid down for him self. The speech of the Chairman, Dr. PAUL CULLEN, was a cautiously-worded document ; but, cautiously prepared as it was, Dr. CULLEN, in one passage of it, points to the true authors, and, through them, to the true object of the foreign aggression ; for when Dr . CULLEN says " the Cathol►cs of this empire hav e done nothing to bring about the present state of things," he simply states the thing which is no'. In describing the duties which mill devolve on the new Defence Association, Dr. CULLEN says—" It must in a special manner make every effort to have the rights and interests of our religion properly represented in Parliament (Hear.) I say of our religion, because if this were effected, our temporal concerns would be better pro vided for at the same time.—(Hear and cheers.) For men guided by Catholic truth and charity would un derstand their duties to the poor and every other class of people, and would act accordingly. Were it necessary to seek it abroad, France at the present moment would supply us with the model of what zealous and religious representatives of the people can effect in the persons of those noble champions of true liberty and religion —Count MONTALENIBERT and DE FALLOUX— whose services to their country and their creed have merited for them the applause of the whole world, who are as profoundly versed in the history of the Church and the bearing of its laws and doctrines, as they are piously attached to its practices and observ ances." Now, seeing.that the Count DE MONTALEM BERT has denounced from the tribune of the French Assembly the toleration of any other religion save Po pery as rebellion against the truth, seeing he has declared from the same tribune that the re-establish ment of the Inquisition, or of some tribunal analogous to it, is necessary in France and in every country in Europe, seeing that his journal, the Univers, has over and over again declared that the time had arrived when Protestantism must be extirpated at the point of the sword, and seeing that M. DE FALLOUX has publicly come forward not only as the apologist, but the eulogist of the St. Bartholomew massacre and the assassination O. f C we may form some idea of what is in store for us, should the nominees of Dr. PAUL CULLEN ever obtain power. When we remember that during the last summer MM. DE MONTALEMBERT and DE FAL LOUX were both at Rome, and that frequent commu nications passed between them and Cardinal WISE MAN immedi a t e l y pastoral, we before the issuing of the famous cannot but consider that it is somewhat strange that Dr. CULLEN should have thus promi nently alluded to them, if they were entirely uncon nected with the recent aggression. The " Lion of the Fold of Judah" was very tame and prosy. It was evident that he had had the curb put on by his supe rior. The speech, however, which he evi dently had intended to deliver was deli vered by his nominee, Mr. MOORE, who, much to his own satisfaction, was permitted to masquerade for that occasion in the lion's hide. Of the degree of credit to be attached to the statements of Dr. GILLIES, Roman Catholic Bishop of Edinburgh, our readers may judge from the fact of his designating the unfortunate and we,ik-minded Pio NONo, who is only kept in his chair by foreign bayonetN as " the beloved and high-soulrd PONTIFF." The fact that a p ort i on of the funds are b e d evo t e d t o elec tioneering purposes secured long speeches from Mr. JOHN RE TNOLDS, Mr. W. KEOGH, and Mr. Sergeant s HEE ; and the two former had again a patient and spouting bout of their own after the meeting had dispersed. Thi s meeting we consider another step in the career of aggression, a n d t h e I tomish Aggression 41P, 1. he • •v•ii:e4rs jaz isiokr.7:,. •RD • 1:001 11 ; , • " LONDON, Association should be met by the immediate c.wgitni zation of a Protestant airnee Society. The question whether the two branches of tho lei ;al profession are to remain separate and distinct bodies, or whether the ancient boundaries that divided their respective provinces are to be annihilated, and each to be permitted at pleasure to trespass on the domains of the other, must speedily be decided. It is one of vast importance, not only to the parties more imme diately concerned, but to all classes in society through out the length and breadth of the land. We say to " all classes," from the highest to the lowest, because the result will materially affect the due administration of justice in all its departments. An enlarged and comprehensive view should therefore be taken of the subject. It should be considered, in all its aspects, with that care and attention which it so eminently , deserves. A crude or hasty judgment should be es pecially deprecated, for if an error be committed it may not be easy to retrace our footsteps, or to regisin the position we have abandoned. And, first, it is desirable that we should know the nature of the alterations which are in progress, and which must inevitably be carried out. When the county courts system was introduced, it was intended merely to give additional facilities for the recovery of demands not exceeding 201. sterling. It was, how ever, speedily discovered that the machinery prepared for that purpose might be advantageously applied to other objects. The judges were, accordingly, em powered to hear and adjudicate on cases of insolvency occurring within their respective districts. After some time, the provisions of the 9th and 10th Victoria, cap. 95, were extended to debts, damages, and demands not exceeding 501. In the early part of last session a further extension Bill was introduced, by which it was proposed to confer powers analogous to that of Masters in Chancery, but the Chancellor, Master of the Rolls, or any of the Vice-Cbancellors might re fer inquiries to be taken before the county court judge, who was also to be enabled to take pleas 'and answers in matters pending in Chancery, and to ad minister oaths, &c. Although, as we have re cently stated, this measure did not become law, it was merely because it was so long detained in the House of Commons that there was not sufficient time before the prorogation to enable their Lordships to consider the various alterations and changes that had been made during its progress through the Lower House. There can be no doubt, however, that, in addition to his other functions, the county court judge will be constituted an officer of the Court of Chancery, and that he will be compelled to under stand the principles and practice of equity. He will thus have nut only a common law and -quitable jurisdiction, but one also in cases of bank ruptcy and insolvency, and we should be by no means aszoniehed if a criminal juri,diction in certain Cia.3a t s of cases were added to the list. Nor will it stop there. The question may be pertinently asked, Why, if a person is competent to decide maven amounting to 501., should he not be equally competent to adjudicate on matters of double, quadruple, or even tenfold that amount f" The legal difficulty will be as great in. one case as the other. The judgment must be founded on the same legal principles, and the result may he us important to the parties litigants, for 501. may bear as large a proportion to the entire fortune of one suitor as 5001. may to another. It is impossible to say where matters will stop. Many persons, we believe, anticipate the period, and that at no very distant day, when all civil cases will be originated before the local tribunals, and the superior courts only resorted to for hearing appeals on legal points—all questions of fact being concluded by the report of the judge or verdict of the jury. Whether this will occur or not, it is sufficient for the purposes of our argument to say that it is by no means impossible. How great then must be the qualifications of the judges to whose hands such extensive powers are to be entrusted! How varied must be his attainments, how profound his learning, how vast his experience ! His judgments cannot possibly receive the same publicity accorded to the proceedings in the superior courts. One great check will thus be removed which has hitherto prevented the formation of crude or hasty judgments ; and the other would be the presence of a highly educated and well-informed bar, who would speedily detect any deficiency on the part of the pre siding judge. It must also be borne in mind that the vast increase of duties, and those of such totally dif ferent descriptions, imposed on the judge, will pre vent the possibility of his practising as a barrister, or having his intellect kept bright by frequent collision with his forensic brethren at Westminster Hall. He must devote himself altogether to his judicial duties, and it is by no means improbable that he may in many instances require the assistance which competent advocates on either side are enabled to afford to the bench ; or, that if there are none to detect his failures, that he may lapse into habits of sloth and negligence, that would prove Dighly prejudicial to the administration of justice. But if the Bar is to be annihilated, as it must be if attorneys may hold briefs from other attorneys, or even persons who are neither barristers or attorneys may be heard when they are not personally concerned, where are persons to be found with the necessary qualifications to constitute a sound and able judge ? Whence are the vacancies o❑ the bench of justice, either of the superior or inferior tribunals, to be sup plied ? For a few years this difficulty may not ari-e, hut it mu-t c..me in tirre. The present generation will pass away, no new comers will recruit the reeks of the Bar. None will be mad enough to devote their time, attention, and money to so hopeless a pursuit. Not only will there be no check whatsoever on the presiding judge, but he will necessarily be of an in ferior grade, and not competent to the discharge of his multifarious and arduous duties —not competent, we say, because however strong his natural intellect, be cannot. have acquired the "judicial mind," which can only be attained by a tedious and laborious process. Before then it be decided that either branch of the legal profession may be dispensed with, before the functions of barristers and attorneys, which have hitherto been kept totally distinct and separate, be assimilated, let us ask, can we spare the Bar ? or is it desirable that we should do su ? Most decidedly not. There is no person who has considered the sub- ject, and who is qualified to come to a correct conclu • sion, who will not join in the opinion, that it is a matter of the moat vital importance to retain an in telligent, a learned, a high-minded, a fearless body, who have ever constituted one of the strongest guaran- tees for the liberty of the subject, and that any abridge ment of the independence of the Bar, or diminution of that high sense of honour for which it has ever been distinguished, would prove a national misfortune of no ordinary magnitude. Sir James Duke has left town for Germany. PRIMROSE•HILL PARK.—Yestesday the Commis sioners of Woods and Forests issued instructions to fill up the different hollows in Primrose-hill Park, in order that the lower portion may be converted into a cricket -ground. A spacious carriage drive has been formed from the Hampstead road through the grounds of Chalk-farm Tavern, leading into the Regent's-park and Camden-town. A number of gravel walks have been laid down, and seats placed for the accommodation of visitors. It is also intended to plant this park with trees and shrubs similar to the enclosure in St. James's-park. The park-keepers appeared yesterday in their new uniforms. DEATH OF TOM SPRING, OF THE CASTLE, R OL . BORN. Thomas Winter, who, upon his first appearance in the pugilistic arena, adopted the name of Spring, as a nom de guerre, a practice by no means uncommon with actors on another stage, is no m ore . Aft er acu te suffering from disease of the heart, dropsy supervening from the impossibility of taking active exercise, the worthy, manly, upright, mild, brave, and urbane ex-champion expired yesterday morning at a little before six. HORNCASTLE GREAT HORSE FAlR.—Yesterday this fair, so celebrated for the extensive supply and sale of young valuable horses, terminated, greatly to the satisfaction of a large class of breeders and dealers in horses. From the commencement the trade was exceedingly brisk, and the biddings and sales throughout have been marked by great animation, and extraordinary high prices have been made of young valuable horses of hgh blood. There was a nume rous attendance of small dealers from various counti es a t t h • latter part of the fair, anticipating that from the great number of horses brought forward an opportunity might occur for purchasing on sp ciliation; but the range of pric e s was such as to preclude the pcssibil:ty of their uoing so, the greater part of nigh priced horses having goneinto the hands of the opulent dealer and jobmaster. Young cart h orses maintained high prices throughout the .fair, Lite best m a kin g CO guin eas , and t h e b est cart co lt s 30gumeas each ; and great credit is due to the Suffolk breeders for the splendid horses of the cart breed they exhibited at this fair. Horses aged and inferior were not so well sold, and abatements were made to effect sales. Small ponies under duty were in great demand, making from 101. to 151. each. The cattle fair commences this day (Thursday). LIVERI 00L, WEDNEs DAY.— Th e U n i te d St a te s ' mail steam-ship Atlantic, Capt.

The Siecle says—" We are informed that the Union Electorale has just dissolved itself. Each of the fractions of that coterie had the pretension to di rect it. The Bonapartists wanted to make it an in strument for propagating their dogma of prolongation of powers ; the Legitirnatists desired to use it to the profit of the Count DE CHAMBORD; the younger branch reckoned among its membors devoted friends. The amalgamation of these heterogeneous elements could only be momentary. The candidature of the Prince DE JOINVILLE was the signal of war in the midst of the self-styled union. The parti sans of Orleauism exchanged bitter recriminations with the members of the society of the Dix Decem bre, and we are informed that, at the end of a stormy sitting, the dissolution of the Union Electorale was pronounced." M. FOULD, the Minister of Finance, has left Paris for Tarbes. The Journal de la Nievre says—" M. DIIPIN, the President of the Legislative Assembly, is at present at his estate of Raffigny, in this department. He left Paris on the 12th inst., after having taken leave of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, with whom he had an hour's conversation."

WARRENS, principal editor of the Austrian Lloyd's, a Conservative journal, has been banished from Austria in such a peremptory manner, that only a fortnight was given him to ar range his affairs. This order is based on the ground of M. WARRENS not being an Austrian citizen. He is a Swede by birth, and was naturalized in North America. The order was given by the EMPEROR himself, but it is not yet known at whose suggestion it was done." The Augsburg Gazette states that the Countess DB BOCARAIE, who was lately tried for the murder of her brother, has taken up her residence at Kcebigs winter, at the fort of the Drachentels, where she lives retired. Several domiciliary visits were paid by the police at Cologne on the 14th. The library of the associa tion of workmen lately dissolved wets found concealed at a jeweller's, and was taken away. Tn Kul; of HANOVER has conferred the grand cross of the order of the Gu,lphs upon M. DE MAN• TEUFFEL, President of the Prussian ministry. It has been agreed between the Senate of Him burgh and the General-in-Chief of the Austrian troops that the latter shall evacuate the Faubourg of St Pauli, and only retain a corps de-garde there until further orders. The Princess Emma, regent during the minority of her •on of the German principality of Waldtck and Pyrmont, has just effected a sort of coup-d' itat, by publishing, in virtue of the power invested in her, an electoral law setting aside that adopted by the As sembly of the States recently dissolved, and establish ing a system of voting by appel nominal, which the Assembly had refused to admit. The donstitutionelle Blotter aus Bohmen publishes an extract from the note which the Vienna Foreign Office has addressed to the Cabinet of St. James's, in reply to Lord PALMERSTON'S circular to the British embassies abroad, on the affairs of Naples, which cir cular, it ought to be remembered, was accompanied by copies of Mr. GLADSTONE'S letters to Lord ABER DEEN. The reply of the Austrian Cabinet protests against British interference in the internal affairs of other countries, and it refers to the "cruelties " which the British statesmen are stated on similar occasions to have practised upon the Chartists and the agitators in the colonies. The Deutsche Reichs Zeihog states that the Cabi net of St. Petersburgh has addressed a note to the Governments of Austria and Prussia, declaring that the annexation of the non-German Provinces of Austria and their incorporation with the Germanic Confederation is altogether inadmissible. sLi A A h !- BELITIBE AU.

Advocate TOMMASO Coasi, the counsel for GUER RAZZI, has written a letter, dated the 10th, to the Bilancia of Genoa, denying the truth of the assertions of that journal respecting the contents of the book GUERRAZZI has written in his own de fence. Signor CORSI declares that GUERRAZZI limits himself to the defence of his own personal acts, and does not speak of Piedmontese in trigues, because there were none ; nor of Sir G. HA` MILTON'S either, that gentleman having constantly acted in the most honourable manner with a view to promote the best interests of Tuscany. Signor CORSI concludes by declaring that GUERRAZZI has never at tacked the constitutional system, to which he still feels unabated attachment. By a decree of the 9th his Holiness the POPE has named Colonel FARINA Pro-Minister of War, and entrusted him with the direction of that department, Prince ORsINI having resigned his functions of Miais ter of War. THE NEW ROAD AND THE OMNIBUS PROPRIETORS --In consequence of the decision c ome to b y t h e boar d o f directors of the parish of St. Pancras to close the New road, between the church and King'a-cross, prior to laying down the granite paving, a deputation from the omnibus proprie ors waited upon the vestry yesterday with a memo rial, praying that the thoroughfare should nut be entirely closed, but that one-half should be paved at a time. Mr. Elliot. one of the deputation, stated that he wee a proprietor of the Kensington and Camd en -t own omnibuses, arid if the route was closed it w,.uld involve a daily increase of mileage of 2,400 miles, besides the extra expense of tolls, which would amount to 401. per week. They already paid twenty guineas per week toll t the Waterloo-bridge, which route they were obliged to take in consequence of Blackfriars bridge being closed. There were 200 omnibuses on the road. The chair Dan stated that although th board of di rectors had decided that the thoroughfare should be forth with closed, it was not intend e d t o f i na l ly close i t while the weather remained dry. The application should be taken into consideration, and everyth ng dune that could be to ob viate inconvenience to the pubic, or unnecessary l oss to t h e proprietors of public vehicles. The deputation thanked the vestry and withdrew. The Globe balloon ascended on Monday, at five o'clock, from the Champ de Mars, taking up three horses, upon which were mounted Madame Poitevin, M. Poitevin, and M. Louis Deschamps. The intrepid aeronauts descended at a quarter-past six o clock, at a farm in the commune de Charvey, thirty-four kilometres from Paris. M. Levan, the proprietor of the far m, invited the voyagers to di nner , an d to spend the night within his house. They returned to Paris at two o'clock on Tuesday.—Daats. Princess Lieven bas arrived at Baden. Before leaving Germany she will, it is said, pay a visit to the Prince de Mttternich. MIVART'S HOTEL.—Arrivals : Baron and Baroness Heeckeran de Kell, from Germany; Count C. ♦icercy, from Vienna; M. Le Due Duxes, from Paris; Miss Pole Carew, from a tour; the Baron and Baroness Braniska, from Paris ; the Baron and Baroness Puthon, from Vienna. Departures The Duke Marino Torlonia and suite, for Brussels, on his return to Rome ; Mr. and Mrs. Blagrove, for Belgium. HAMPTON COURT PALACE AND KEW GARDENS.— According to a return just published, by order of the House of Commons, the number of visitors to Hampton Court Palace during the year 1850, was 221,119 ; of visitors to the Royal Botanic and Pleasure-grounds at Kew, 179,627. The visitors to Kew we find only numbered in the aggregate, but those to Hampton Court are divided according to the months, and the arrangement shows the result to agree with the natural anticipation— summer exhibiting a vast majority over the less clement and inviting seasons of spring, winter, and autumn. January records only 879, February 1,284, November 1,668, December 1,258 ; but July enumerates no less than 58,164, and August, the next, though not a very close approximation, 49,8`26; whilst September exhibits a rapid decrease, recording but 25,390. REPRESENTATIVE PEERS POR SCOTLAND. — The new Act to regulate the elections of representative Peers for Scotland has just been printed. It provides that a certifi cate from two Peers of Scotland shall be held to be formal notice of the death of any representative Peer. Instead of a proclamation for the election of a representative Peer being issued 25 days before such election, 10 days shall be suffi cient. Peers of Scotland who vote by proxy may take the oath before courts in Ireland and at other places. The title of peerages in right of which no vote has been given for 50 years are not to be called at elections if the House of Lords shall so direct. VAUXHALL GARDENS.—Last evening the third grand floral and agricultural fife of the season took place at these gardens, on which occasion the weather was extremely favourable, and the attendance of visitors more than usually numerous. Considering the late period of the season the flowers exhibited at this show were of a most attractive character, and it was difficult to imagine that the ga;dtns Centrallßoulognee an s and e an d r Fr ance r i A a nte erzo te n 7( 0 .!' -: of the Horticultural and Botarical Societies had already Demerara . .. .. displayed th e cho i cest pro d uct i ons o f the year.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 12,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were taken for export, and 2,000 on speculation. The mar ket closed with an upward tendency, with American id. to id., and the current qualities of Surat Id. per lb. higher; other sorts without alteration.—The Railway Share Market was rather better, with but little business doing. The six weeks' average price of Wheat is officially re turned at 425. sd. per quarter. The West India advioes refer again to the dryness of the weather as being unfavourable for the crops. The great cry, however, in Jamaica and other places was still for more labour. Even European immigrants, it is stated, would be very useful. Doubting much whether Englishmen, at any rate, whatever the natives of Southern climes did, would bo equal to even light toil in a tropical climate, we nevertheless give the following statement from a local and customarily well informed source. The writer dating from Trelawny, observes:—" It is our desire to have 500,000 souls added to our population. If we could but turn the tide of European immigration. and induce the sturdy sons of the North to migrate to this island, it would be the means of elevating the moral position of the present inhabitants. We have more acres of land in a wild state of nature than there are under cultiva• tion. Tu increase our agriculture, then, we must increase our population. We are, strictly speaking, an agricultural country. Our peasantry have, to a certaiu extent, rendered their humble efforts towards so deArable an end. The enormous quantity of ginger that has been brought to the several markets and disposed of during the present year, is one of the results of the labourers' energies. Irrespective of gin g er, there have been other articles briaight to mai ket. the product of the pea•aut'a industry. We are aware of one individual's perseverance having been rewarded with some forty or fifty barrels of sugar, the produce of his ow❑ little freehold; whilst others in the same neigh bourhood have had their fifteen, ten, eight, and two barrels of sugar each, produced from their few acres, besides what they have earned by going out to work for the large pro perties. If, then, the native labourer can succeed so well, with but scanty means, may we not infer that others who may be induced to migrate to this island, with some capital, would prove eminently successful, if they are of industrious habits? ` We are not all of that class of men who argue that Europeans cannot succeed in our tropical climate. On the contrary, we are convinced that any man can, and must be successful, if he sets to work determinedly. The word ' cannot' is, to us, incomprehensible. Man can accomplish anything that he determined on, if he but goes to work in right earnest." The letters from the Continent are not of much in terest. The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 19th inst. was dull, both for Home and Foreign Socks. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 58 11-16. The wore buoyunt appearance of the English Stock Market at its close yesterday afternoon has been sus tained this morning, and there is a fair business doing in Consols at 96} g fur present transfer.
