Clarke, arrived here at an early hour this morning, bringing the usual West India and Mexican mails, in charge of Lieutenant South, R.N., Admiralty agent. The Trent experienced strong north-easterly winds during the first part of her voyage. She was detained at St. Thomas till 3 a.m. on the 22d ult, in conse quence of the non-arrival of the Great Western from the Gulf of Mexico. This delay was caused by the bar of the Tampino river being impracticable from heavy freshes. The Great Western remained off there till 9th July, at noon, when she sailed for Vera Cruz, leaving behind the mails, 92,000 dolls. in specie, and the Admiralty agent and purser of the ship. The dates brought by the Trent are—from Panama, July 9; Vera Cruz, July 11 ; Santa Martha, June 24 ; Grey Town, July 5; Chagres, July 10; Jamaica, July 17 ; Demerara, July 12 ; Barbadoes, 14; Trinidad, 12 ; St. Lucia, 14; Carthagena, 12. The Trent brings 54 pas-engers, and the following on freight:—Specie value 1,240,938 dolls., of which 30,000 dolls. are for account of the Mexican Divi dends ; also 106 serons cochineal, 17 cases arrowroot, Six bales of tobacco, 21 tierces coffee, 65 packages of pimento, and sundry merchandise. From Jamaica we have accounts to the 17th ult. The cholera was increasing in the extent of its ravages in various parts of the island, particularly in Hanover and 'Westmorland, from whence the accounts are most distressing. The pestilence had also made its appear ance at Up-Park Camp amongst the troops, several of the soldiers baying died. The health of the city of Kingston was not satisfactory, the influenza being very prevalent. Another visit of cholera was feared. From British Guiana we learn that an important failure had taken place in the suspension of Mr. A'. Duff with liabilities for - 240,000 dolls. 'There had been a daided.change thlZweather during the fortnight, and the wet season had entirely broken, up. There is no political news from this colony. In Barbadoes the weather was very, fine, and the prospects for next year's crop most favourable. In St. Lucia, rain, with high winds and thunder storms had thrown back the planters in taking oft the current crop of sugar. The weather was very favour able for the next year's crops, which are expected to be very large. In Trinidad, heavy but beneficial showers bad fallen. Agricultural operations were going on freely. The colony will probably ship 30,000 hogsheads of Sugar this year. The royal mail steamer Dee, with the outward mails of July 2, arrived at St. Thomas on the 20th ult. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

ChtMillis AccommoDATloN.—Since the closing of ac kfriars-bridge the passengers travelling by tlll,e King's been r ° B 3 and Islinton and Kennington-gate omnibuses have tp Put to some considerable inconvenience and loss of time "lsequence, as it is alleged, of a " misunderstanding" bet ween - the proprietors of these vehicles. This niisunder atandin g has , for some extraordinary reason or miler, in ced the o wners o f th e Islington buses to drive their vehi clesen route to th e New Post-office, over Waterloo-bridge; abile obstinacy the proprietors of the King's- cross vehicles, with equal and inconsistency, in making for the end of Chan- ZY-lane pass over Southwark -bridge , so that the passen gers Chancery -lane, to get to the Post-office, as well as those going u ancery-lane, or onwards, are considerably retarded in have progress. The proprietors of these vehicles would not ),a4(vie thought of taking such a lierty with the pablic it it not so tamely submitted tot he imposition of upwards of thirty-three per cent. on the fares on the Ist of May last. It i s s takep nmewhat surprising that the Stamp-office has not any notice of the affair, as it must be evident t hat both vehicles travel much beyond their proper limits. Pr,u 4 ., _ einEs t ,in- OF A TAx•GA.THERBE.

No. CII. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. ElR,—lluving completed my arrangements for the re gular supply of intelligence from nearly every quarter and on nearly every branch of sporting information use ful to the turfite, every sporting note for the future will be in itself a perfect nzultunz in parvo to the racing Mari; embracing as it will do all toe latest en dits afloat at the clubs, the principal betting houses, " the Corner," &el' &c., together with the latest " moves" on the board at the various seats of action, as well as the principal betting at the Turf and other clubs, in the City and at the leading list houses. I have, however, said enough on this score, lot The future Sporting Notes tell their own tale, and proclaim whether er no in this remarkably fast age I can " ntnhe the running " and " live the pace" id sporting knowledge; I can at least assure my numerous clients that as their SPORTING COUNSEL I will give them the best advice and information that I can possibly ob: tain. The ensuing week will be a very busy one to the turfite, as no less than five meetings figure en the list, three of which, the Wolverhampton, Reading, and Hun. tingdon, I now intend to touch upon. WOLVERHAMPTON • • leads off on Monday with the Trial Stakes, 1 m. 2 fur. 122 yds. which, I presume will fall to the lot of ALONZO, 4 yrs, Bst 71b. Thirteen acceptances for the Wolter; hampton Stakes, 2 in. 4 fur., is by no manner of means a very blooming affair, yet, I expect to see a moiety at the post, consisting of Snowstorm, 5 yrs, 7st 81b, or Cocktail, 5 yrs, 6st 121 b, most probably the former; Champion, 5 yrs, 6st 121 b; Goldfinder, 3 yrs, sst 12th; Hippogritf, 3 yrs, sst 10Ib; Siaffird, 3 yr.-, sst 41b; and Clothworker, 5 yrs, 7st 101 b. Selina might also ruu. Glauca has paid forfeit. Snowstorm and Champion, it they ever possessed a chance of winning a race, have got an opportunity now; their owners had better make the best use of it. Gold 7 finder and Stafford will run uncommonly well; The winner, I fancy, will be found in Scott's or Daw 7. son's horse, CHAMPION fur choice. Stafford and Gold . finder. third and tourth. The Ladies' Purse closes this evvnirfg at nine o'clock; it will be run for in heats, 1 m. 2 kit. 122 yds. The Welter Handicap, one mile and a halfrwill be won by General Sale, 5 yrs, 12st 51h; Ba-: roness, 5 yrs, list 81b; and Warwick, 4 yrs, 1 Ist, : second' and third. The field for the Produce Stakes will be vtry exclusive, as not more than three (First Fruits, The Prime Minister, and Ringleader) will start; and very possibly the affair may terminsee in a. wallt.:—over for the Prime Minister or First, Fruits ; if the former runs, and I think he will, no matter whether opposed or not, he wins. From the fifteen nominations for the Cleveland Cup, three miles, run on Tuesday, I shall deduct the trio of three yrs old as the lot from which the winner will spring,. taking LABYRINTH for choice; should he not start, I must go for iiippogriff which, at any rate,, it would be advisable to keep on the right side. Among the heavy weights Sotterley and Clothworker are the best. The" Chillington Stakes, for two yrs old colts Bst 71b, fillies Bst 51h, half a mile, will, according to my accounts, be won by MY FANCY or Lady Arnyott, former for choice, with Medlock in the third position. The Borough Members' Plate of 60 sous., winner to be sold, &c., heats, a mile and a half, closes this evening at nine o'clock. The Pat 'hull Handicap, a mile and a half, lays between LE Jorr, 5 yrs, 7st 21b, and GRIEF, 5 yrs, 7st 111 b ; Humphrey and M a nchester close up. On Wednesday, but two stakes out five have closed as yet; the first, the Holy oake Stakes, two miles and a half, will be won by HER BERT, 5 yrs, Tat 11113; or Lchia, 3 yrs, sst 91n; Ad • ministrator thirilt . The. Foal Stakes is , a certainty for THE DECEITFUL. • - • READING Races commence on Wednesday and conclude the fol lowing day.= •The only attraction on Wednesday is the Berkshire Stakes f two miles, which, I imagine, will be carried to Sir Joseph Hawley's account by the aid of CRANBERRY, 4 yrs, 7st 61b; Brington, 4 yrs, 6st 81b, second; and Tilsit, 5 yrs, sat 121 b, third. On Thursday. we have the Reading Stakes; for two yrs old colts, Bst 71b, fillies, Sat 31b; half a mile. This stake generally attracts a large field to the post, and had it not been for the appearance of Grey Tommy's potent cognomination among the entries, would du so this year. At the pre sent time only one stake demands my attention at HUNTINGDON, . . tnV r -5 . 7.1 f MI LONDON,' Mr. Sitwell's Nancy Dawson, 4 yrs, 7st 13:b... 2 3 4 Won by a length.

Among the entries for this stake the crack names of Kingston (31b extra), and Moulton Lass (31b extra) appear, should either or these run of course he or she, whichever it may be, will win. With respect to other events not very close at hand, I may as well observe that HARICOT is a first-rate spe culation fur the Great Ebor Handicap, that Knook Knoll and Little Fawn are also worth a trifling invest ment for the same race; that the colt by Prince Caradoc out of Miss Julia Bennet, and Vanguard, are " good. things" for the Chesterfield Handicap at York; that the Abbess of Jerveaux will be about the mark for thu Tradesmen's Plate at Derby; that _7)on Pedro, Brington and Valentine will be the fancy nags for the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes at Egham; and Maria and Prince Rupert for the Magna Charta Stakes at the same place.

The rules and orders, which have been expected for some time past, are numerous and extend to more than 20 folio pages. They were framed by Mr. Sergeant Dowling, Mr. Brandt, Mr. Espinasse, Mr. Gale, and Mr. Furner. The orders were approved by Lord Chief Justice Jervis, Mr. Justice Erle, and Mr. thrall Martin, on the 20th of May last. They were certified by the Lord Chancellor. The sit tings of the courts are to be regulated on or before the Ist of January next, and in matters of insolvency the rules of practice used by the Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors in London are to be used and adopted in insolvency and protection cases so far as the same are applicable to the county SUICIDE AT S O UTHWARK-BRIDGE.— Last night Mr. W Payne, the coroner, held an inquest in the Vestry hall, Ilorselydown, on the body of Henry Edmonds, aged 50. George Connew, a fireman, employed on the floating-engine at the upper side of Southwark-bridge, on Monday morning last, about five o'clock, saw a man leap into the water, striking his head against the triangle in front of the engine. The deceased disappeared, and rose again opposite the Welch Trooper public. house, Bankside, when he afterwards sunk. The wife of the deceased, of New-street, Southwark bridge-road, stated that the deceased left home at an early hour, as was usual, to go to his employ at Mr. Fletcher's, the engineer.

In a letter to her brother on Monday last she stated that her hand alone committed the deed. We believe that strenuous efforts are being made in high quarters to obtain a commutation of the sentence, and rumour says that several benevolent individuals are preparing a petition to be trans mitted to the Secretary of State. We earnestly hope that these efforts will be successful, and that the wretched wo man's life may be spared.— Shrewsbury Chronicle. The directors recommend that a dividend at the rate of five per cent., up to the 30th of April last, be paid to the shareholders upon the amount of their respective shares. The following directors, viz., G. M. Murray, Esq., William Whitelock, Esq., and Daniel Wane, Esq., , retire by rotation, and being eligible for re-election, offer them selves accordingly. The following auditors also retire, and being eligible, likewise offer themselves for re-election, viz., H. L. Mid dlemist, Eeq., G. H. Hodges, Esq., B.

By order of the board, e 1 GEORGE M. Munieer,:Cuairman. July 14th, 1851. • The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the adoption pf the report, observed that it was a matter- for congmtula, tion that the company bad not sustained any loss either from the dropping of lives, or in its loan de partment. By great energy and perseverance they had been enabled to issue a large number of policies, and to obtain an income of a highly satisfactory amount, and which there was every prospect of being materially augmented. The directors, at the Outset of the office had deemed it well to drop the fire de partment, on account of the great risk of that kind of business, having transferred its few fire policies to another. The office had had a great many difficulties to contend with, but the facts stated in the balance-sheet, exhibiting the amount of business transacted, showed, he thought, an unexampled amount of business to have been transacted by so young an office. They had been unfortunate in establishing a number of excel lent agencies. They had been very fortunate in the selection of a board or agency at Norwich, as already a number of shares . bad been taken lip, and sixty eight policies issued. If they were thus encouraged, they should extend their agencies into other parts of the country. The office, they would see, was situated in an excellent position, and the lease of the premises had been obtained on very advantageous terms—the rent not being more than 1001. a year, and the value of the lease was such that, with the great improve ments that had been made, it would realise, if sold, a premium of 2,0001.; indeed, they could get, he bad no doubt, 3001. a year for the eligible premises they occupied.' With respect to the dividend, he had to state that the directors conceived that it would not be well, in the infancy of the office, to declare a dividend, in order that the funds might be augmented ; but as the deed provided that a dividend of 51. per cent. upon the paid-up capital should be declared, the directors had much plea sure in doing so, for it would not have been advisable to have disappointed the shareholders, nor to have contravened the terms prescribed in the original prospectus.—(Hear, hear.) With respect to the sum of 5001. mentioned in the balance-sheet as having been appropriated to the directors for their services, it was well he should mention that they were empowered to take the money, and when the preliminary expenses were being passed it had been classed among them. They had sot, however, taken the money ; the item was entirely subject to the approval or disapproval of the shareholders, and was put down •for their consideration. If voted to them they should take it out in shares. They must not, however, forget that the directors had devoted a great deal of attention to the affairs of the office for which they had not charged a farthing, and surely they could not expect that men of business would come day after day into the City and attend zealously to their affairs without reward. —(Hear) The office had been at considerable ex pense in its flirmation, for competition in life assur ance business was now so keen that much money could not be made unless a good deal of money was expended. It was well perhaps to remark that the office derived the full credit of having been the first to put life assurance within the reach of the working classes, by the establishment of various branch offices for receiving the subscriptions of these classes in small payments. He appealed to the shareholders and policy- holders to exert themselves to extend the busi ness of the office, and to consolidate it.—(Hear, hear.) Four-fifths of the entire profits belonged to the policy-holder, so that it was to their interest to do their best to promote the welfare of the office. The prosperity of the office depended in a great measure upon the shareholders and policy-holders, and he trusted they would all join in a "strong pull, a long pull, and a pull altogether."—(Cheers.) A discussion then ensued, in which Mr. Lawrence (of the Engine'Os' Life Assurance Company), Mr. Sheridan (of the Times Life Assurance Company), and others took' part with respect to matters in the report and balance-sheet. At length a committee was appointed to consider the amount of compensation to which Mr. A. H. Smith, formerly the solicitor, was entitled for proeuring the eligible premises occupied by the society, and to consider the point with respect to the remuneration of the directors for their past ser vices. Mr. BEVAN, the manager, drew attention to the fact 'that when he joined the office but ten policies had been issued ; whereas there were now nearly 300. He did not mention this in order to claim any particu lar merit to himself; but to mention the fact that both himself and the other officers were badly remu nerated in comparison with the officers of other corn paniea which bad not transacted, and did not transact a larger or more promising amount of business. Throwing as he did his whole energies into the com pany; and being determined to promote its increased success, so thats The office might take a proud position among the avurance offices of the metropolis, he trusted that his endeavours would be met in a fair and liberal spirit by the directors and proprietors, and that the proprietors would take care that if he served them.well that he should not be removed from his office without due and sufficient reason. He asked for this security, because it oft en ha pp ened th at those who expended their best energies in raising a public company to a position of considerable greatness were , put aside without any just or sufficient reason. ' A resolution was then passed, recommending the directors to increase the salaries of the manager and the other officers. A resolution was also passed to the effect that the directors should have full power to suspend any officers for improper conduct, but that they should not be dismissed without the approval of a special meeting, to be called to consider the matter. The report and balance-sheet was adopted, with th e exception of the matter referred to the consideration of the committee. The retiring directors and au ditors were re- electrd, and a vote of thanks awarded to them for their services. A motion, awarding a vote of thanks to Mr. Bevan, the manager, and the other executive officers of the society, was then passed, on the motion of Mr. Fen- ping, of Fenning's Wharf, who took occasion to bigbly compliment the great and unwearied exertions of the manager, Mr. Bevan, to promote the prosperity and welfare of.the office. His exertions were beyond all praise. The secretary, too, had sea ved the society very efficiently.. The meeting. then separated. THE BISHOP OF CLIFTON.—We hear that, imme diately after Miss Talbot's marriage, Bishop Hendren was chasseed. The fact is, the Doctor did not manage that busi ness so adroitly as be ought to have done, especially when we regard the large amount of money there was at stake. He has, consequently, retired, and in his place Dr. Burgess of Monthoutlishire; has been appointed. The new bishop will reside at Prior-park, near Bath.--tidvertiser. TIMES —lt has of late been several times remarked that the redoubled oppression, both moral and political, which hangs, with the solitary exception of Piedmont, over all ports of Italy, is closely connected with the in creased pretensions and aggressive spirit manifested in ecclesiastical affairs by the Court of Rome since the restoration of the present Pontiff. For this extension of the Papal authority is by no means confined to the assumption of Menet chical rights in countries long detached from the Romish See. Is is, on the contrary, directed with even greater activity and success against the liberties of the Ch urc h an d the joint rights of the civil power in States altogether Ca tholic; and the result of some of the recent measures of the Pavel Government is to assert and exorcise a power which never was conceded by the Italian Governments in the most devout ages of the Catholic faith, and before the schism had been declared between the authority of the Pope and the great principles of human freedom. Our attention is once more recalled to this subject by the publication of the concordat signed on the 25th of April of the present year between the Papal . See and the Government of Tuscany; for the increasing strin gency of the provisions now exacted by the Church not only demonstrates the deplorable and abject sub• serviency of the civil power to the common fears ex cited by the revolution, but proves the general ten dency of the Church in this ago to claim a license it entirely refuses to others, to place itself above the law, and to efface the limitations which were imposed on its powers by the prudence and energy of Sovereigns in ages termed less liberal end less enlightened than our own. The papers relating to Tuscany in the volume recently reprinted for Parliament with reference to the regula tion of Catholics by foreign Governments, officially in form us that ever since the time of the Florentine Re public the Tuscan Government had been extremely watchful that no authority whatever, particularly that of Rome, should infringe on its sovereign rights. To this end no act or decision was allowed to be carried into effect in the Tuscan territory without the license of the Seignory; nor could any ecclesiastical living or dignity be taken possession of without similar permission from the Government. A law of mortmain limited the pos sessions of the Church, the jurisdiction of the epis copal courts was transferred to the civil tribunals, and every ecclesiastic was made subject to the judicel au thority of civil magistrates. The Inquisition was also summarily abolished by Leopold 11. in 1782, and by a circular of 1777 the subjects of Tuscany were for bidden to have recourse to Rome without the permis sion of their ewn Government ; nor even with that permission were they dispensed from obtaining the Regiurn Exequatur for every bull, brief, or Pontifical rescript; though a distinction was made between the briefs and rescripts which have an influence on the civil state, and those which interest only , the conscience of individuals by spiritual dis pensation or absolution. It was even provided by one of these Leopoldine laws, as they were ' termed, that nothing should be read during meals in the refectories of convents but the Scriptures in the vulgar tongue. These laws were revived after the French invasion, and have remained in force till a recent period. They supply abundant evidence of the determination of the Tuscan Government to prohibit, not by negotiation with Rome, but of its own authority and mere motion, every excess of foreign jurisdiction in ecclesiastical affairs. We live, however, it seems, in different times, and the Court of Rome is enabled in 1851 to exact con ditions from independent Governments which they dis dained to listen to in the last century. No sooner was the Grand Duke of Tuscany restored, and M. Baldasseroni brought back to the Ministry, than a negotiation was set on foot for a concordat, which was eventually signed by that Minister and Cardinal Antonelli on the 25th of April, and gazetted in the Tuscan Itlonitore of he sth of July. The object of this trealy is declared by the preamble to be' to put the laWs Of Tuscany in harmony , with the laws of the Church; for this purpose it is sti pulated absolutely that the ecclesiastical authority shall encounter no obstacle in the exercise of its functions, but that the civil authority will lend the Church the support necessary for the exercise of episcopal power. The bishops are free to publish what they please in relation to their ministry. The ordinaries retain the exclusive censorship over ecclesiastical publications, and the bishops preserve their whole authority to restrain the faithful from the perusal of books contrary to reli gion and morality. The bishops and their flocks are free to communicate directly with the Holy See. All causes, spiritual and ecclesiastical, belong exclu sively to the judgment of the ecclesiastical autho rity according to the sacred canons, though ecclesi astics may be tried for civil offences by the civil courts. The property of the Church and benefices are to be freely administered by the bishops and clergy, in obedience to the canon law. Up on questions relat ing to pious bequests, or changes in ecclesiastical property, the spiritual and civil powers shall concur to obtain the assent of the Holy See, saving the rights of the bishops to exert the powers conferred upon them by the Moat Holy Council of Trent. This instrument, of which we have here given a brief but faithful description, completely establishes, for the first time since the very existence of Florence, the sub jection of the State to the Church in all spiritual mat ters, or all that may be called so. It gives the bishops power to enforce the orders, subject to no control, which they may receive from Rome. It arms them with a religious censorship of bcoks and opinions; and it recognizes the Canon Law, irrespective of the laws of the land, as the sole disposer of Church property, under the sanction of the Papal See. Such conces sions amount to a real abdication of most important sovereign rights, handed down by the Seignory of Flo renc.e,,desfanded by the Medici, and compl e t e d by L eo p o ld IL; and they demonstrate in an authentic form to what extent Rome is even now prepared to carry her domi nion over a contemptible Government and au enslaved people. The temporal power, which is the natural guar dian of these rights, hes betrayed its trust, and it con spires with the foreign authority of the Romish Church to complete the destruction of all freedom of thought and independence of life amongst the people. In such a state we are not surprised to learn that Count Guicciars dini has lately been condemned to prison and exile for reading the Bible to his friends; and that even the ex ercise of public worship by the English residents in Florence has been made the subject of obstruction and persecution by the Government. Three y ears ago, or little more, Tuscany was the happiest and best-governed portion of Italy, and the present G rand Duke, though defi cient in character and energy, was justly in possession of the confidence and affection of his subjects. Those qualities did not protect him from the violence of the Democratic party, and he was driven from his dominions as summa rily as the bigotted Duke of Modena or the foolish Prince of Parma. A more honest popular movement afterwards recalled the Grand Duke to power, but he unhappily returned entirely subject to the predominant system of Austrian military repression, and the more subtle domi nation of Rome. Between Vienna and the Vatican the independence of the minor States of Italy is extin guished ; and the Tuscan Government has been driven into the very policy for which it suffered unjustly in 1849. That is the ordinary result of that conflict in Italy between two extreme parties, which limits the experiment of rational government to the dominions of the King of Sardinia, and even there endangers its ultimate success. Because we regard with aversion the evils of one extreme, we are not the more tempted to tolerate the evils of the other. A government of fanatics and enthusiasts who speculate on the delusions of the people, and violate in the name of freedom the laws and authority essential to every Christian state, is a bad exchange even for such governments as we now witness relying for support on their prisons, their priests, their police, and on foreign armies. Between such alternatives, that appears the worst which happens for the time to be most powerful; for both are incapable of the just and moderate exercise of power. Those of our own countrymen who are led by their natural indignation at the present state of Italy to encourage the plots and schemes of the Italian demo crats are misled by that generous but ill-informed sym pathy which may always be easily kindled amongst us. For those democratic leaders are as much the enemies of the constitutional Government of Piedmont as they are of the Pope and the King of Naples. Indeed, they pre fer the violent absolutism of the latter to the hospitable toleration of the Ccurt of Turin, because they know it i s playing their game. A large portion of these very ex cesses are due to the indiscriminate hatred they have absurdly proclaimed of all government, good or bad; and we know not which is the greatest curse to Italy, the foreign armies that oppress her, or the Italian fugi tives scattered over Europe to agitate, to lure, and some times to invade their country, which only snows them in her days of anarchy and by the ruins they leave behind them. ADVEATISER.—Mr. Gladstone's letter to Lord Aberdeen on the treatment of a Neapolitan gentleman in Pius the Ninth's prisons, in Rome itself, disclose horrors:to which parallels can be found only in the nar ratives of captivity among the Algerines in their pira tical days; of the British prisoners in the Black Hole of Calcutta; of the merchants and mariners tortured in Batavia; and of Jews, Protestants, and wealthy Roman Catholics, immured in the inquisitions of Valladolid, Goa, Madrid, Lisbon, and Rome, in the darkest ages. We are taught by the highest authority that a tree is to be known by its fruit. If the very same effects are pro duced by the alleged Christianity of the Papacy, as by the real Mahomedanism of the Algerine sea robber and the savage slaughterer of the Mabrattas, in what respects do they differ, save in the greater or less duration and intensity of the tortures wh ich they inflict? The cells in the gaols belonging to h is Holiness, the self-styled " Vicar of Jesus Christ on earth," are said to be 8 feet 11 inches in length, 7 feet 7 inches in breadth, and 7 feet 10 inches in height, and each contains two prisoners, although the air in that space is altogether insuffi cient for one. When it is considered that at this time of the year the ordinary heat of Rome is 99 degrees of Fahrenheit, while at Algiers it is 87, and in Calcutta and Batavia 97, we obtain a further exemplification of the rule for discovering tho tree by its fruit. It neces sarily follows, that cruelties which the world has never ceased to execrate in the unbelievers, are exceeded by the heed of the Roman Catholic Church. His gaolers, too, are mercifully invested with the privilege of inflict ing severe floggings at pleasure for slight offences, or of chaining the victims of pontifical cruelty with a weight of iron, which incaplcitates them from moving. The coast qucnces are easily foreseen ; madness, suicide, and attempts at suicide, are frequent, and the rate of mor tality is high. Besides this inhuman treatment, pi i suers are sometimes starved to death. Six di e d o f starvation within a few days , t w o were put . chains for attempting suicide, and two we re carr ied to the mad house raving, and is a hopeless state.

Alboni appeared for the first time this season as Zerlina, and acted the peasant girl in the most archly naive manner imaginable. Never have we heard the music so deliciously rendered as it was by Madlle. Alboni. All her principal morceaux were encored, and the audience desired to encore even the " Giuvenette" which she sings as she enters with Masetto. The "La ci darem" was exquisitely give❑ by Alboni and Coletti ; the " Batti Batti" was sung with infinite taste, spirit, and espieglerie. The great triumph of the night, however, was the " Vedrai Carino ;" her exquisite fioriture at the end of this air brought down a hearty burst of applause, such as is seldom heard within the walls of this aristocratic establishment. Lablache, as Leporello, was in superb voice, and in most buoys,nt spirits ; and Coletti, as the Don, was ad mirable. Madame Fiorentini gave a careful and conscientious version of the music of Donna Anna, and produced an immense effect by the intensity of her acting. Madame Giuliani still continues to be the best Elvira on the stage, and Calzolari made a pleasing Don Ottavio. The house was crowded.

BEVAN, the resident manager, read the report and bulance-sheet : The directot> have much pleasure in meeting tho share and policy holders ou.this the first annual general eting of the sccioty, and although a period of rcarcely eight months has elapsed from the date of the issuing of the first policy by the board an amount of business has been done almost unprecedented in the history of in surance societies. The number •of proposals received up to the I2th instant has been 432, amounting ,to 99,415/., of which 273 .have been accepted and completed, averaging 2591., and.assuring... £70,695 0 0 29 ditto, ditto, but not completed' - 4,650 0 0 62 have been declined or withdraWn 68 under consideration 10,290 0 0 --------X99,415 0 0 43 as abode The society's income to the present time.is 2,3281. Is. These results cannot fail to be highly gratifying to the proprietary; and augur well for -the inture prospects of the sock ty. The directors, under the powers contained in their deed of settlement, deemed it prudent, in December lavt, to suspend the fire department of the society's business, and accordingly the risks (with the exception of two) were transferre,d to a highly respectable office, for which the society is still liable. ' When the proper period ar rives, the directors will ask the sanction of the share holders to resume this department of business, of which due notice will be given. The directors point with much satisfaction to the an nexed report of the auditors, containing the ;balance sheet, and the state of the society's affairs, and on com paring the preliminary and working expenses with those of other offices, have reason to congratulate the share holders on their comparative smallness in amount. Your directors have devoted their attention to the establishment of,local branches in favourable districts of the United Kingdom, and have succeeded in forming a highly-respectable and influential branch in the city of Norwich, which cannot fail to be productive of the most beneficial results in extending the business of the society. • The directors have further to congratulate the pro prietary on having secured the lease of the valuable pre mises now occupied by the society at a very low rental; and although a considerable sum has been expended in the necessary alterations it now forms a valuable asset in the society's balance - sheet. Your directors are happy to report that, up to this date, no claims have fallen is by reason of death, and no losses have been- sustained in the loan department.

Must the fisherman's ritig be the signet to the death ;yam! t? Must the functions of Nero be performed by the succes sor ol his supposed vic:im? Th,:y show yeti in Rouse the Mamertine dungeon, where Catiline's confederates were ireu4ured; where Jugurtha, Z-:nobia, and a host of illustrious prisoners, were let down. Peter, they say, Was thrown into that monumental cavity at the foot of the Capitol; and the memory of minor captives is tnergOja the monopoly of marvel which that circum stance establishes for this prison -hole." Why has the successor of the Apostles united his Palace to the Black Holes by a covered passage. if it be not to transport, un fortunate persone, who have excited his snspicioni, secretly into the oublittlec of St. Angelo, and t o n ty or d him the couveniencz, of witnessing and gloAting in per son over their sufferings? Whether this man of blood, who has attempted to foist his rule ovf r England, found or re-established the Roman Inquisition, we know not; but Dr. Achilli is an illustrious instance that he makes use of its dungeons; and what they are, we know from the discoveries made by the French soldiers in 1 793. Skeletons were found that had boon ina inured, when living min and women, within the massive walls ; uumc-reua traps for pri vate executitais, and deep wells containing quick limo and hall-consumed bouos. And w hen again, in 1 S4B , Rome was besieged and the Pope expelled, the bones of thousands of victims, who had been secretly put to death, were discovered. This is the religion that was to displace Christianity, as it is practised by Eng•ish men; this is the man who w as to rule the province of England. We do not refer to the dark ages of Popery, but exhibit it as it now shows itself in the eyes of the world. That the fruit discovers the parent tree cannot be doubted. Two or three weeks ago the Augsburg Allgemeine Zeitung had the following passage;-_ "The total absence of religious feeling among the lower classes of the population of Rome is really horrible; e dd CO this, that scarcely any class whatever has the le ast sympathy for the Papal Government, and the most me lancholy reflections will rise in the mind of every friend of social order." The state of the popular feelings in Rome in regard to religion might be explained on the ground, that the people are on the spot where Pope and priests show by their daily actions, that they have no real care for religion themselves, otherwise than as a medium of pecuniary profit and temporal power. But this argument will extend beyond the metropolis of Roman Cathalioisua, and epply to the whole of Italy. So notetriously depraved is the state of morals in that country, and more particularly in the States of the Church, that no attempt has been made to deny the fact —but persons favourable to Romish tenets, like Mr. Eustace, the author of the " Classical Tour," have con fessed it in seeking for palliating circumstances. "May it not be ascribed," he asks, " to the corruptions of the national religion, to the facility of absolution, and to the easy purchase of indulgences?" And if it may, what, let us ask in return, are these latter but essential parts of the Romish religion, the very tree whose fruit we are considering? A modern traveller relates, that at Tivoli, a man stabbed his brother, who died in agonies within an hour. " The murderer went to Rome, pur chased his pardon from the Church, and received a written protection from a Cardinal, in consequence of which he was walking about unconcernedly, a second Cain, whose hle was sacred." Wo give one more illustration of the religion that Dr. Wiseman was to have triumphantly carried into Westminster Abbey. It is from " Graham's Three Months' Residence in the Mountains East of Rome"--- " Those that have an interest with the Pope may obtain an absolution in full from his Holiness for all the sins they have ever committed or may choose to commit!" And the author of " Rome in the Nineteenth Century" says—" I have seen one of these edifying documents, 'issued by the present Popo to a friend of-mine. It was most unequivocally worded." In reference to the dread ful barbarities perpetrated by the Pope in the prison of St. Angelo, it is obvious that unless the French autho ritatively interfere in behalf of his victims, the character of their nation will be seriously compromised. Raving the power to wrest them from sacerdotal malignity, they will become accomplices in the foul deeds now charged upon the Pope, in the letters to Lord Aberdeen. Under the relations of England to Rome, we hardly see how our Government could interpose to save them. The ex istence of this miserable and hypocritical despotism any longer in Europe, however, will be a crime in ad the states that have the power to crush it, but hold aloof. I HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. FRENCH PLAYS. M. Bouff6 appeared last night in his favourite cha racter of Grandet, in La File de 1 Avare, perhaps one of the best in the repertoire of this admirable artist. He sustained it, we need hardly say, with all his or dinary vigour and finish, and was enthusiastically applauded. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by the Countess of Desart, the Hon. Miss Cavendish, Lord Camoys, Colonel Buckley and Colonel Gordon, honoured the performance with their presence. On Monday M. Bouffe will appear in Michel Per rin, and on 'Wednesday will again sustain the charac ter of Le Gamin de Paris.

CREMORNE GARDENS.—Among the varied amuse ments that have been introduced at these gardens are some pyrotechnic displays termed " naval fetes," the third of which took place on Thursday night. The occasion represented was, when the Spaniards, with the assistance of the French fleet, attempted the capture of Gibraltar. To illustrate this attempt, the Citizen and Iron Steam-boat Companies lent their aid, and their boats and crews represented the Spanish and French fleet, while a host of auxiliaries, commanded by Chevalier Mortram, impersonated the English garrison force. The engagement commenced on the part of the boats, who, at a given signal, poured a broadside of fire into the fort and esplanade, which was immediately taken up by the assaulted, the whole line of battery sending out volleys of rockets, Roman candles, &c. For upwards of half an hour the mimic war was waged, suspended only for a minute or two by an explosion which failed now, as indeed it did before, to blow up the rocky Straits. The introduction of a new explosive floating fire, which appeared to increase !in brilliancy as it came in contact with its antagonistic water, and the addition of distant bugle music added to the effect of this novelty. A fashionable and crowded audience assembled to witness the fete. MIYART'S HOTEL.—Arrivals—Messrs.

ANN'S SOCIETY. --A half yearly general court was held yesterday at the Lond Tavern, Ei.hopsgate-street, followed__ by an election of fifteen children into the Royal Asylum. Mr. E.

No legacy, however, had been bequeathed during the last six months. The report was adopted, and the election commenced, the ballot lasting from twelve o'clock till three, there being eighty candidates, " r en of those once in prosperity," seeking the benefits,' inthe shape of maintenance, board, and religious education; which the institution will afford to the fifteen who have been successful. <2"' FOREIGN v. BRITISH AUTHORS--; COPYRIGHT. • -... • , ,_ , • ;-). • To TILE EraToß. OF THE SUN. .. .. Sin,—The meeting at the Hanover-square ROOM& - ;` 2114 some little time ago, presided ' over by : -.... F. B. Lytton, : Bart., at which some iefluential i; '4+ ors de ' litiered their sentiments, is beginning to de its work, by exciting a spirit of inquiry amongst those most ioterested in the issue of the conflicting judgments 1 between tkk tt Court of Exchequer and the Court of 1 Error. , Ift were called upon to say on which side the 6c , u. it` ic, legal acumen, an d j ust interpreta tionkt oft hew preponderate; we have only to use cur ecosaason sense in compariog the two, and there would be no " error" about it. It, is one thing to say Whet is. and another to determine what .should be the law. The moral principle and the legal construction and administration may be at issue with one another, but let us not trust both in one set of hands ; if we do, the law will vacillate into a thing of oircum stances and not of feet; whilst the functions of the Legislature would merge in those who are appealed to for a. right interpretation of the various Acts of Parliament. The monopolists feel Lord Campbell's deeision to be " a heavy blow and great disconrege meat " to their cause, for although it appears on the surface to go along with their interests, it in reality gives them more than they anticipated, 1 and thus verifies the old a d age t h at "t oo muc h o f a good thing, is good for nothing.. " Their faiourite doctrine a (the monopolists) has been, " 6h, we hevc paid money, read therefore bought the article end the right which attaches to it," forgetting that " copy-sight," or the right to multiply copies, is one given by the British Legislature to British authors alone, and therefore, whilst an English publisher can buy and retain a foreign manuscript as a chattel, he cannot claim the English author's right for a thing which is " foreign " to it, and use it for his own ad vantage. As easy would it be for a foreigner to say, I have purchased an English freehold, which gave the former possessor the elective franchise, and that i:* course I have bought with it. The law requires something to precede the latter, if not the right to hold the former. Were every man able to buy any privilege or exemption with money alone, that which law is intended to regulate by giving rich and poor equal rights, would be done away with, and corrup tion and monopoly thereby allowed to sap the very foundation of legislative equality. If the law which regulates copyright in this country is to extend to all the world, it follows as a necessary consequence that a foreigner cannot be allowed to do what would be an infraction of the principle as applied to a native writer. The former must therefore abide the liabili ties consequent upon claiming a British author's rights, and the English assignee standing in the place of either must establish the right or pay the penalty of his assumption. Suppose that a foreigner residing abroad was to send a manuscript here and dispose o f it, which afterwards had been found to have been dis posed of fraudulently, the publisher in en deavouring to maintain his supposed right against an alleged piracy, would involve both • himself and the defendant in a litigation which the party who was the occasion of it would wholly es cape the consequences of. Literary publishers are said to have given large sums of money for the works of American authors, but what have they bought ? Not the copyright certainly, for the alien had no status by which he could assign, and the purchaser has paid money in order to exercise illegally a right, which belonged to a British subject. Of course be could not maintain it, and must take the consequences of his attempt to violate the law. Music publishers have been " wiser in their generation" in regard to outlay with foreign composers, for in all the cases that have come before the courts it has been prove that they have only given a nominal sum —not to the author, but the foreign publisher—to effect priority, or what has by a contrivance been called simulta neous publication. In by far the greater number of 1 cases they have paid nothing at all, but merely re- I printed the works of foreign authors, making fraudu lent entries at Stationers'-hall for their copyright, and deceiving themselves into the belief that by en graving these assumptive words, " This work is copy right," on their English editions, they could prevent any competitor from meddling with, what they would fain persuade others, was their property. No greater proof could be adduced that the Eng lish publisher had no faith in his own power to ac quire copyright in the works of foreign authors than the miserable pittance given to obtain the proof sheets, or first copies, fr om th e f ore i gn propr i etor , or b y th e latter, that the sums received bore no prcportion to the actual value of valid and positive copyright. Any lawyer's clerk is competent to determine that statutable property cannot be acquired by the same process that governs the transfer of articles of mer chandise, and therefore injunctions, issues, bills of exception, writs of error, and appeals to the highest tribunal, are mere efforts to substantiate by legal trickery that which every one understands but those whose business 1 it is to " make the worse appear the better reason." It is a bad state of things that enables a wrong-doer to pursue any one who will not succumb to those who desire to be law makers or law breakers, as best suits their own cupidity, and thereby call the powers of litigation into exercise for the purpose of turning law into an engine of oppression. It has been, however, proved that injunctions may be filed and dissolved— supplementary bills proceeded with—issues directed, and all the continuous quips and quirks of legal forms put in force by a litigious plaintiff without a scintilla of right to drag the defendant through this expensive process, or leaving hints the means of ob taining redress—nay, more, that he may be ruined by subornation of perjury. What a state must British jurisprudence be in to allow this to be said without any one daring to con tradict the fact. However, monopoly and perjury, if they escape the consequences to outward appearances, are made to pay the penalty in some way, sooner or later. " Whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap." " The triumphing," therefore, " of the wicked is short." " Chancery reform" is the first step to put an end to filing of bills—directing issues—taking out commissions—importing of foreign and irrespon sible witnesses, and a long train of evils connected with " the law's delay" which have hitherto made it worth the while of monopolists to spend a large sum of money to bolster up a system which, after all, is but " saving at the spigot and letting out at the bung hole," for the chicanery of " foreign copyrights" is exploded, unless effect he given to the "International Copyright Act" by the reciprocity it requires.

GLOUCESTER, PRIDAY.—One of the most horrid atrocities, perhaps, ever committed in a civilised country has just been perpetrated in the retired dis trict of her Majesty's Forest of Dean, in this county, four of the perpetrators of which have been committed to the Gloucester county gaol for trial. The outrage is of such a nature as to render its details almost in credible, nine men being charged with having in suc cession violated the person of a poor, helpless, wander ing Irish widow, named Mary Macartby, who now lies in one of the union workhouses on the borders of the forest. The facts which came out before the committing magistrates, Sir Martin Crawley Boevey, Bart., and E. Jones, Esq., are as follow :—The woman, who is 35 years of age, and has but recently lost her husband, was journeying alone and a.e.unpro tected through the Forest of Dean on her way to B y ! I! a ney, at a late hour of the night, when she obsver%ed_he light, and, being but half clad and wholly stew ed , she sought pro sought its cheering influence.

" According to the woman's story, after the completion o f the offence by all the nine men, a quarrel arose betwen two of them as to whether she should remain in the hut, and one of th em , ta ki ng up a shovel, threatened to kill her if she did not leave at once. It was then daybreak, and while the men were scuffling together she went out and proceeded on her journey. She met a woman on the road, and told her of the treatment sbe bad experienced, end afterwards, be coming exhausted, she lay down under a hayrick, where she was found by , a policeman some four-and twenty hours afterwards.
