His Lordship, therefore, being natio ally caro led of his own honour and the memory of his ancestors, claimed the protection of this Court against his syste matic calumniator; and, without going into the question of whether the pre-eat mode of m.:rrying out the pious intentions of the founder of the fund was snore beneficial to the inhabitants of Blackheath than was on ginally contemplated, what the Celia had to consider was simply whether it would allow a nobleman to be stigmatizEA in this way upon such fitmsy grounds and pretences, or whether it would interptho its piotec tion and grant him this remely of a criminal inter- mation.

Mr. Humphreys appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Ofenhcim, of the French Embassy, and Lieutenant Lean, agent for the Emigration Society, were in attendance. Mr. Ballantine applied for a remand. His clients, though they felt themselves free from all blame in this matter, were not unwilling to do something fur th, relief of the unfortunate sufferers, and if, as it was to be feared, many of them were in a state of destitution, they would be quite ready to support them until some settle ment should be made. The LORD MAYOR said that he was determined that these poor men should have as full justice done to them as if they had been English. He would therefore consent to this arrangement with that view. The case was then remanded fur ten days. MARLBRO" : STREET.-(T HIS DAY. A DRUNKEN BARRISTER.—Edward lanes Pocock, who dezcribed himself as a barrister, re.iding at 29, Lincoln's Ina-fields, was brought before Mr. Hardwick charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself. Police-constable 68 C stated that about six o'clock last night he was on duty in Oxford -street, when his attention was calle:1 to the defendant, who was very drunk, having an altercation with a cabman. A crowd of the lowest class surrounded him, and as he seemed to have a deal of valuable property about him, witness for his (defendant's) safety took him into custody and con veyed him to the station. inspccior C division, said he was on duty fit the police station when the defendant was brought in. He was extremely violent, and tried to break his own arm on the iron bar of the dock; and he, no doubt, would have done so had be (Vie inspector) not pre vented him. The dftendant did not make any reply to the charge. Mr. HARDVi lex said it was highly &,g - nceful to se . : a person of deferdant's appearance in such a position. He ought to be extremely cautious how be indulged in liquor for the future, or his violent and insane conduct might. in some hasty and indiscreet mem.- nt, cause him to commit some act which would subji et himself to be transported for life. With these remarks, he (Mr. Hard wick) should now discharge him. MISS WHEATLEY'S SOIREE JTIUSICAL. This interesting event took place yesterday at Exeter-hall, and we rejoice to say that, in spite of this the dead season of the year, and the powerful attrac- tions of the National Concerts on the one hand, and Jullien's popular musical entertainments on the other, a numerous and fesionable audience filled the lower hall, and were highly gratified by the selection of the morceau, and their effective execution by talented performers, among whom we were delighted to find several artistes bearing full and complete tes timony to the success of the Royal Academy of Music. But though it would afford us the highest possible satisfaction to dilate upon the good taste and first rate abilities of all the artistes engaged—though we would gladly notice, with due encomium, the opening terzetto by Miis Clari Fraser, Miss Eilen Lyon, and Miss Owen, a cavatina and other songs by Mies E. Lyon, two songs sweetly sung by Mr. Rafter, two songs and duets by Mr. P. Bodd::), a duet, in which Mr. Saynor accompanied Miss Lyon cn the flute, and which enabled us to test the powers of Mr. Clinton's admir able alterations in the flute, a grand fantasia on the harp by Mr. W. Layland, and others, too long to enumerate ; yet we feel in duty bound to say that the palm of the evening was fairly gained by the young and talented beneficiare, who displayed upon two different instruments such consummate skill and power as to command the admiration of all present, while she conciliated their good-will and sympathy by her firm yet modest bearing, and the total absence of all assumption ; we will even confess that she made a convert of us, who had hitherto deemed the violin an instrument little fitted for her sex, and we shall in future hardly venture to express this, our old opinion, being compelled to admit that nothing can exceed the sweetness and correctness of her tones, and her mastery over the difficulties of that difficult instru ment. It is but justice to say that she was admirably seconded by her brother, Mr. H. Wheatley, who con ducted on the occasion, and was throughout a host in himself. We scarcely know whether most to con gratulate that talented family on their success, or their friends on the gr a tifi ca ti on t h ey derived from yesterday's entertainment, which being, we believe, intended to be an annual one, we will with satisfac tion look for again next year. DR. CUMMING ON TBE PAPAL AGGRESSION. Yesterday Ds. Cumming delivered his second lec ture on the above eubjact, at the Hanover-square Rooms. The large roam v.a.s as densely crowded on the fir:a lecture, and similar enthusiasm was manifested by taose praseht. Admiral IlaacourtT prcsPed, and having briefly adverted to the gravity of the present and urged the necessity otv. united effort on the part of Protes tants of all denominations to repel the encroachments of the Romish Church, Dr. CuaratiaG came forward, and was received with tremendous cheering. The following is necessarily but a brief sketch of the Reverend Doctor's address, which occupied upwards of two hours in its delivery. He first referred to the sermon delivered by Bishop Doyle, in the Roman Catholic Cathedral, St. George's, Southwark. In that sermon he found the following words :—"Among other things, they have spoken of an oath, which they assert every cardinal,' upon his appointment, takes before the Sovereign Pontiff." Now, his remark was, that he presumed the cardinal, when he was made an archbishop, received the pallium, and after receiving the palliunz be repeated a solemn oath. He did not say that Dr. Wiseman had taken that oath on his appointment as cardinal ; but that he had taken that oath on being consecrated as an archbishop, which oath he had taken before on being made a bishop. Bishop Doyle, however, declared that the accusation was a falsehood, that no such oath was taken ; and, he added, " there is an oath taken by a bishop, and he promises in that oath to pursue and combat error, and uphold the sacred doctrines of the church." Dr. Doyle also went on to say, " They talk of the edict of Queen Mary, and lay it at the door of the Catholic Church. . . . On the very day that that edict was sent forth, that great, and good, and fearless friar, Alphonse de Castro, de nounced it as most intolerant, unjust, and in every degree opposed to the glorious principles and spirit of our holy religion. That fearless man, in the name of the church, opposed the acts of many as opposed to the church, and it is the same church now as in the day that De Castro defended it." He (Dr. Cumming) would first speak of the oath. Of course, if they wished to ascertain the form of consecrating a bishop in the English Church, they would look to the Prayer Book in which that form was contained, and the same with regard to any other church having certain recognized and authorized forms, they would look to those forms, and would naturally expect that every portion of any such form was essential, and not to be omitted. Accordingly he bad turned to the Pontificale Romanum, or that hook, according to which every bishop in the Roman Catholic Church must be consecrated, every arch bishop receive the pallium, and every priest be or dained. It was used on the authority of two Popes, Clement VIII. and Urban VIII. To show its value and weight he would read a single sentence from the bull of Clement VIII., prefixed to the book : " Resolved that the aforesaid Pontificale Romanum shall in no part be changed ; that nothing shall by added to it, and that nothing shall be subtracted from." Again, the bull or Pope Urban, referring to the same, s a ys " This is not to be added to, changed, or detracted from, and whosoever shall perform sacred offices are bound to observe it, and those who do not have not observed the conditions or dutier thereto attached." Now, that:book, which two Popes had said was not to be " changed, added to, or sub tracted from," contained the following oath, "to be taken by archbishops on receiving the pallium" The Latin form of the oath was—" Ilereti cos , schismaticos, et rebelles, Domino Nostro, vel successoribus prredictis, pro posse, persequar et impugnabo." That was— " The heretics, schismatics, and rebels against our Lord (the Pope), or his aforesaid successors, I will combat and attack to the utmost of my power." In order to ascertain whether his translation was correct, he had turned to a sermon by Canon Wordsworth, and.there he found it, "to the utmost of ray power will persecute and wage war against heretics and schismatics." Dr. Burgess, the rector of Chelsea, said that, to enable Englishmen better to understand it, the translation should be, " I will persecute and pitch into."—(Laughter and cheers.) Lest it should be said he was quoting from an obsolete book, he had I obtained an edition of the same work, published at Mechlin in 1845, and there he found the oath given pre cisely as in the edition he had first quoted, of 1627. To the edition of 1845 there was prefixed a bull of Pope Benedict XIV., in which the work was called " This our pontificale restorer and reformer," and it was "commanded to be observed by all the Churches of the world." That " Restorer and Reformer" pon tificale contained the very same oath, in the same words, which he had quoted, and which was enjoined to be taken by all archbishops on receiving the pallium. What was the natural inference from all this ? Why, that Cardinal Wiseman on being made Archbishop of Westminster did swear—for two bulls of the un changeable Cburch of Rome commanded that nothing was to be "changed, added, or subtracted" in this form of consecration—that he would "persecute and attack heretics to the utmost of his power." He would now call their attention to the following letter which only that morning he had received from Car dinal Wiseman's secretary. It had been originally sent to the Times, but not having been inserted in that paper, the Cardinal had directed it to be sent to him (Dr. Cumming) : " St. George's, Southwark, Nov. 19. " Sir,—Dr. Cumming, in his letter in your paper of to-day, gives an extract from the oath taken by bishops and archbishops, copied from the ' Pontifical,' printed at Antwerp in 1627, and states, I presume, that Cardinal Wisemen, on receiving the palfium, took that oath.' To prevent further misunderstanding, I have the Cardinal's pormi9sion to state to you the', by a rescript of Pope Pius VII., dated April 12, 1818, the clause quoted by the Rev. Doctor, and so subject to misunderstanding, is omitted by all bishops and archbishops who are subject to the British Crown. " The authorised copy, now lying before MP, used by our bishops is headed— " FORMA JURAMENTL " Pro Episcopis et Vicariis Apostolicis Episcopali dignitate pix:litis, qui in locis Magnm Britann.m subjec tis versantur, pivscripta a SS. Pie P. VII., die 12 Apri lie, 1818.' "Iu the copy of the Pontifical,' kept at the Episco pal residence in Golden- quare—the copy, perhaps, ge nerally used in conseerstions of bishops in England—the sentence is cancelled. Dr. Cumming is at liberty to in spect this, if he will arrange with me for that purpose. " When Cardinal Wiseman was consecrated bishop in Rome, iu 1840, he took the English form of oath. On receiving the pallium,' at which ceremony I assisted, his Eminence took no oath, cardinals being exempt. Had he been required to do so, he would no doubt have repeated the same form.—l am, sir, your obedient ser vant, " FRANCIS SEARLE." THE NEW SMALL Pox HOSPITAL.--The old build ing belonging to this charity at King's Cross having been razed, in consequence of the site being required for the Great Nor thern Railway, an eligible, picturesque, and healthful spot on the south- western side of Highgate -hill was procured, whereon to erect a new edifice, which has been recently completed, with the exception of the lodges and approaches. The style is Italian, with f usticated stone coig ns an d d ress i ngs , f rom a design by S.W. Daukes, Esq., architect. Its extreme length is 218 feet, exhibiting in the south or grand front a noble portico, supported by proportionate and tasteful wings. In the rear are buildings for various domestic purposes, and the internal fittings and arrangements are of the best and most convenient kind, with a due regard to economy. They comprise spacious acute, delirious, and con valescent wards for the accommodation of about eighty patients of both sexes, with surgeons, physicians, and secretaries' rooms, &c., with lava tories, baths, and other offices; also an ingenious ascending floor for the use of new patients who are unable to ascend to the wards. The corridors, passages, and great part of the lower a d upper floors are laid with Orsi and Armani's patent metallic lava, and an ornamental kind of the same material forms the floor of the vestibule or entrance-hall (which is 2' , feet by 20 feet). The metallic lava is impervious to moisture, and the ornamental portion, which resembles tes sellated pavement, has a pleasing and elegant effect. The whole building has been constructed in the hest style by Messrs. T. and W. Piper, the builders, and the grounds within which it stands, consisting of about seven acres, are appropri ately and tastefully laid out. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT THE BLACKWALL RAlL WAY.—Yesterday information was received at all the stations of the metropolitan police, from the City police, of the f0110w .... Why, what laws have these men 1 2 Here is a so. lemn ceremony commanded to be observed by the formal bulls of their Popes, and not to be departed from, and yet Cardinal Wiseman was exempted. Urban VIII. and Benedict XIV. said nothing must be added or subtracted ; Gregory XVI. and Pius IX say, "Anything may be added which Bishop Wiseman likes ; anything may be taken away, chop it and change, and treat it in any way that will suit the British Crown and the British people."—(Cheers.) After some further remarks on the inconsistent state ments made by Dr. Doyle and Dr. Wiseman with reference to this oath, Dr. Cumming next quoted at great length from the works of Alphonse de Castro, to show the nature of the principles upheld by him, and which had been cited by Dr. Doyle as the same which still animated the Church of Rome. In one of his works he recommended the putting to death of heretics as a salutary and commendable proceeding, and enumerates various methods of execution, such as casting them bound into rivers, plunging them into boiling oil or burning, and he concludes by saying, " We have shown plainly that hereti cs may b e pu t to death ; but in what manner is of little consequence, for whatever way be taken to put them to death, it is always for the good of the Church, for a nuisance is removed." Elsewhere De. Castro cont en d s th a t t h e Pope has the power of deposing heretic kings, and re leasing their subjects from their fealty an d a l leg i ance; further, also, he said that if the people were heretic as well as their sovereign, then the Pope h a d t h e r i g h t of appo i nt i ng a king over that nation. Those were the doctrines laid down by the man whom D r . D oy l e held up as the representative of the principles of the Rumen Church of to.day.—(Hear, hear.) After re• ferring at very great length to the doctrines laid down by the canons of the Romish Church to show that th a t Church claimed temporal as well as spiritual authority, and that the Roman bishops in England were bound to snake their fealty to the Queen subordinate to their fealty the Pope, Dr. Cumming proceeded to examine the duties imposed on the Rom an Catholic clergy b y their canon law, which Dr. Wiseman stated was n ow to be introduced into England. According to that law, Dr. Wiseman and his bishops were bound to use their best endeavours to exterminate heresy, even— where they had the power—by confiscation, impri• sonment, or death. That was the law which Car dinal Wiseman and Bishop Doyle were seeking to establish in England.—(Hear, hear.) Dr. Cumming concluded a very learned and eloquent address, which was frequently interruwed by bursts of applause, in the following terms :—ln drawing my remarks to a close, I am bound t o s tate that I b e li eve th e R oman Catholic laity do not profess to hold the principles of the canon law or the dogmas of Popery, as I have laid them down. They are bound to accept them as taught by their spiritual superiors, but as it was once said, ‘‘ There are m any Ch r i st i ans i n t h e Ch urch of Rome in spite of it," so I believe there are many Roman Catholic lay men i n the serv i tu d e an d b ondage of the priesthood, who are loyal subjects in spite of that. My charge against Cardinal Wiseman is not that, as Vicar Apostolic, he has been teaching certain dogmas, but that he has brought with him the missive of a foreign Prince assuming power and jurisdiction in this land, and that he supports and advises those principles which tend to undermine the loyalty of our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects, and injure the . • ing robbery at the offices of the Blaawall Railway, Fen church-street, between the hours of half-past five o'clock on Tuesday evening and ten o'clock on Wednesday morning. A safe in the office, which is on the ground floor, was opened by some means not explained, and a 51. note, with 230 sove reigns, and 301. in silver, was stolen therefrom. DISCOVERY OF A LEAD MINE NEAR GALWAY.— About a mile distant from this town, at Salt•hill, there were a number of cabins on the roadside, all of which have been thrown down some time since by order of the landlord, a Mr. Jones, of Dublin, who holds those lands under the War den of Galway. Some of the peasantry, being lately employed in clearing one of the foundations, discovered what they thought to be a quantity of silver ore mixed with the stone. Thy story soon spread ; a number of the country people came and commenced operations in their rude way, of course quite unproductive. A captain of a mining company, at Scarily, was sent for, who came and examined the mine or ore, and declared it an excellent rich lead mine, taking sam ples of it to Dublin, where he is n ow i n t reaty w i th Mr. Jones. While the captain was here, samples of lead ore from Outerard were shown him that is now being raised on the lands of Mr. O'Flaherty.—Galway Mercury.

Protestantism may be accused of being yielding in little things, but in great things it is like the old British oak which grows in the old British soil, its gnarled roots interwoven with the everlasting rock, which lifts its prcud head aloft careless whether the storm cloud breaks over its boughs, or the sunshine smiles upon its leaves, equally prepared to meet the one, or to be refreshed and delighted by the other. If such be our Protestantism, then all the bulls the car dinal can bring from the arsenal of Rome, and all the weapons which Jesuitism can wield against us will fall in splinters at its root, or hang in its branches as proof of Rome's impotence, and trophies of English strength, and of the stabiltiy of our throne, and the might of our Queen.— (Loud cheers.)

Wakley concluded the adjourned inquest on the body of a gentleman who was found dead in a cab, which has since been identified as that of Mr. John George Somes, a surgeon, aged 33, practising in Ilungerford. No additional facts were elicited beyond those already published. Mr. Joseph Clover having deposed that he found in the de ceased's stomach a sufficient quantity of prussic acid to cause instant death, and which witness presumed deceased took whilst in the cab, the jury, after soma deliberation, returned the following verdict: " That deceased committed suicide in a cab; but there is no evidence of the state of his mind at the time." THE SUN, LONDON, FRID A Y EVENING, NOVEMBER 22, 1859. SPIRIT' of the PUBLIC JOURA ALS. TIME S.—ls the : division of England into Roman Catholic bishoprics within the letters of the law ? Is it the legitimate and perfect development of the Ro man Catholic religion as a system ? Does it trench on any one's rights ? These are the three questions npon which, according to Drs. 'Wiseman, "Newman, mid Borvyer, the merits of the question now ist issue between the Pope and the people of England de peed ; and they unswer them accordingly. Now, as to the first, we have never been referred by any one to any law of this country the letter of which has been infringe dby the Pope or his emissaries. Our whole conduct has been inconsistent with such a belief. Had we thought that 'what has been done could be redressed by the jurisdiction of our ordinary tribu nals, we should never have dreamt of invading the functions of a jury and rousing the indignation of the public egainst persons in the unfortunate position of State criminals; it is because we believe there is, at present, no bar, save that of public opinion, at which these bold men can be arraigned that we devote our columns to the exposure of their fella cies and the resistance of their aggresfieus. We are therefore quite williug to concede to Dr. Wise man that his ingenious evasion of the Emancipation Act may avail him at the Old Bailey ; and that the clause which forbids the assumption of the titles of English bishops by Roman Catholics would not in a criminal case be held to extend to titles newly coined in the Papal mint of honour. We alas concede that the Roman Catholics are not bound to acknowledge the Queen's supremacy in spiritual matters, and we have no objection to allow that the Roman Catholic religion in its high and palmy state requires a terri torial dominion, co-extensive and co-equal with the land it inhabits, but surely the admission of all this, which is all that the Cardinal and his two doctors have proved or attempted to prove, goes no way at all towards establishing that the indignation of the people of England is unjust, that their jealousy is unfounded, or that their grievances are imaginary. All that has been propounded by•these learned personages was perfectly well known to every speaker and writer of the most ordinary intelligence who has taken part in the discussion which the rashness and insolence of a few ambitious ecclesiastics have in an evil hour for themselves forced upon us. The people of England regard this question neither from the legal or Old Bailey point of view, nor yet with the eyes of those one-sided reasoners who can see nothing but the de velopment of their own faith. It is on national, on loyal, on constitutional grounds that they take their stand. The Church of England is not merely a voluntary association, enjoying peculiar privileges, as Dr. Wiseman insinuates ; it is a part, and an in tegral part, of the ancient Constitution of this coun try. The Sovereign is and must be its head ; it is fully represented in the highest court of judicature ; and though it tolerates the widest dissent from its opinions, it is only on condition that no act shall be done subversive of its temporal or spiritual pre eminence. Within these limits Roman Catholics and Dissenters are at liberty to develope their own systems as fully as they please. If the letter of the law suffer them to go beyond this, they cannot avail themselves of it without infringing the spirit and genius of our institutions, and arousing the just sus ceptibilities of the nation, which, whe n it s w ill i s once deliberately matured and clearly expressed, is as little disposed to tolerate evasion or permit disobe dience as the successor of St. Peter himself. We might be well content to rest our answer here, satis fied with pointing out that to invade the spiritual jurisdiction of the Established Church under a claim not merely of co-ordinate but of paramount spiritual authority derived from a foreign prince is not merely an attack upon a rival sect, but an aggression on the Crown and Constitution of these realms, because of that Church the Crown is the head, of that Con stitution the Church is a part. Bat the case does not rest here. The Roman Catholics have not, that we are aware, violated the le.w, but they have evaded it ; they have the letter on their side ; the people who made the law have the spirit on theirs. And what is that law ? It is the Emancipation Act of 1829,w0n for them against unparalleled difficulties by the generous exertions of the members of that very Church which they are cajoling,betraying, and invading —in a breath, it is the charter of their political liberties and spiritual freedom which they now seek to elude and undermine by all the arts of sophistry and chi canery. Either the Emancipation Act was a boon conceded to a suffering class of her Majesty's subjects by the grace and favour of the British people, or it was a great act of national reconciliation—a solemn compact between the Protestant majority and the Catholic minority, by which, in consideration of the removal of all civil disabilities, the Roman Catholics covenanted so to use the spiritual liberty which was granted them as not to infringe upon the temporal or spiritual rights of others. Mr. Bowyer in his pamphlet admits that the relations which, according to the law of the land, the Roman Catholics bear to the See of Rome clearly appear from the oath contained in the Roman Catholic Emancipation Act—in other words, that this oath fairly embodies the understanding as to the conduct and dispositions of the Roman Catholics upon which this Act was passed. The words he quotes are the following : " And Ido further declare, that it is not an article of my faith, and that Ido renounce, reject, and abjure the opinion, that princes excommunica , ed or deprived by the Pope, or any other authority of the See of Rome, may be deposed or murdered by their subjects, or by any other person whatsoever. And I do declare that Ido not believe that tho Pope of Rome, or any other foreign prince, prelate, person, state, or potentate h:th, or ought to have, any temporal or civil jurisdiction, power, supe riority, or pre-eminence directly or indirectly within this realm." Thus far Mr. Bowyer. We request our readers to attend to the sequel of the oath, which, for obvious reasons, he has not thought fit to invert : " I do swear that I will defend to the utmost of my power the settlement of property within this realm, as established by the laws. And I do hereby disclaim, disavow, and solemnly abjure any intention to subvert the present Church establishment, as settled by law within this realm. And I do solemnly swear that I never will exercise any privilege to which I am or may become entitled to disturb or weaken the Protestant religion or Protestant Government in the United Kingdom." The question, then, is reduced to a very narrow issue. This oath, by the admission of Mr. Bowyer, contains the relation of the Roman Catholics to the See of Rome, and therefore, by necessary conse • (pence, to the Church and State of England. Is the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, with his territorial jurisdiction without personal limitation, true to the terms and spirit of this contract ? Is not the conferring of titles of honour—purely spiritual honour, if be please—by the Pope at least indirectly an act of civil pre-eminence within this realm ? Does the Roman Catholic ecclesiastic who assumes the primacy of England for the See of Westminster without limitation or qualification, and therefore to the exclusion of the present primate, do his utmost to defend the settlement of Church pro perty within this realm, or is he not palpably the aggressor against whom it must be defended? Is it no disturbance of the Protestant religion or Govern meat of this realm of England to establish in it an hierarchy co-extensive, co-equal, co-ordinate with the Protestant hierarchy, which, as far as words and pro fessions can go, is wholly ignored and set aside ? Is it to strengthen or to weaken the Protestant religion that, according to Dr. Wiseman's own statement, this step has been taken ? His words are, " Many minds allowed themselves to be influenced by the ap parent advantage of ecclesiastical position on the other side." It was, then, to create a state of things upon which a controversial argument to weaken the case of the Church of England as against the Church of Rome might be founded that this change, according to the evidence of its promoter, negotiator, and defender, was made. Most true, Dr. Wiseman disclaims any but spiritual jurisdiction, and in a spirit of arrogant hu muility and insolent self-abasement expresses his willingness to leave the temporalities of the English Church to their present possessors, provided he be allowed, holy and humble that be is, to pursue his noiseless and unobtrusive ministry amid the poor arid afflicted. Surely here is a little confusion between giving and taking. The Pope gives all, spiritual and temporal, without restriction or qualification. The Cardinal takes exactly as much as be can get. We have little reason to thank him for his moderation. The grapes are sour; but if he be indeed a faith ful representative of that Church which sold the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the license to commit sin, which has ever regarded its spiritual claims as mere means and appliances to its temporal aggran dizement, and which surfeited on the plunder of Christendom till the human mind, even in the days of its darkness, rose up against its insatiable avarice, he will not, longer than be is absolutely obliged, content his appetite with hungry spiritualities. It wou ld b e as reasonable for a privateer which sheers off from a vessel it dares not attack to deny possession of a letter of marque as for the Cardinal Archbishop of West minster, with the full commission of the Pope to clutch all he can in his pocket, to affect a contempt for the temporalities of the Church of England. We may b e well assured that if he be reduced to the state of primitive simplicity of which he boasts, it is not because a Roman Catholic ecclesiastic desires little, but because we will not give more. • SOCIETY OF ARTS. , IRELAND.

SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. '2l.—A few days ago we mentioned that arrangements had been concluded be tween the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company and the United States' Mail Steam Company for the con veyance of passengers and treasure between England and the ports northward of Panama. We have since been placed in possession of the precise terms of these arrangements, which are of considerable interest to all persons engaged in the Pacific and Californian trade. On and after the Ist of January next the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company will book passengers from Southampton throughout to California and the ports on the west coast of Mexico by their steamers, departing on the 2d and 17th of every month for Chagres, and connecting with the semi-monthly mail steamers plying between Panama and San Francisco. The rates of fare vary according to the description of accommodation engaged, whether single or double cabins, either aft or forward. The passage money from Southampton to San Francisco is fixed at 971., 1021., 1121, and 1221., respectively; to San Blas, 811., 861., 961., and 106/. ; to Mazatlan, 821., 871,, 971., and 107/. ; to San Diego, 871., 921., 1021., and 1121. Besides these rates, it is announced that a limited number of artisans, emigrants, &c., to be v ictualled on the same footing as the ship's crew, and finnding their own bedding, will be conveyed when there is room for them, from Southampton to Chagres, for 201. each ; and by arrangements made with the Pa cific (American) Company, tf,e total charge from Eng land to San Francisco will be 511., to San Diego, 461., to Mazatlan, 411., and San Bias 401. In all cases the passage money does not include the expenses of transport across the Isthmus of Panama. Through bills of lading will be granted at any of the above-mentioned ports for specie or gold dust, de liverable at the Bank of England, at a rate of 2i per cent. Of this the American mail steamers get 11 per cent., and the Royal Mail Company per cent., the latter including all expenses of transit from Panama to Chagres, so that the 2i covers all charges from the. port of shipment, and provides for the de livery of the bullion at the Bank of England on pro duction of th&bills of lading. The Royal Mail Company have concluded imme diate arrangements for conveying passsenges and treasure in like manner to the above from England to the ports southward of Panama. The ports included in this scheme, touched at by the Pacific Steam Na vigation Company's (British) steamers, are as follow : —Buenaventura, Guayaquil, Payta, Lambageque, Huancbaco, Casma, Huacho, Callao, Pisco, Islay, Arica, Iquique, Cobija, Copiapo, Huasco, Coquimbo, and Valparaiso. The rates of passage money from Southampton to Valparaiso are fixed by the joint companies at 821. 153., 87/. 155., 971. 155., and 107/. 15s. respectively ' • to Callao, at 621. 10s., 671. 10 s ., 771. 10s., and 87/. 104. and to the intermediate ports in proportion to their greater or less proximity to England; the expense of crossing the Isthmus in all cases being defrayed by the passengers. Through bills of lading are granted at all the above ports by the agents of the Pacific Company for treasure de liverable at the Bank of England at a rate of 21 per cent., of which per cent. falls to the share or the Pacific Company, and 1-2- per cent. t o th e R oya l Mail Com pany. The charge made for specie and bullion from Pa nama to British Guiana, Vera Cruz, and Tampico, is 11 per cent.; from Panama to St. Domingo, Porto Rico, St. Thomas, all the Windward Islands, Ha vaunah, 1 , Honduras, Nassau, and Jamaica, 1* per cent. ; Panama to Carthageaa and Grey Town, 7 1- per cent.; pearls, emeralds, and all other precious stones (upset), being exempt from duty from Panama, are delivered at the Bank of England at 1 1 1. per cent. on value; jewellery, subject to duty from Panama, is deliverable at Southampton at 2i per cent. The American mall steamers leave San Francisco on the Ist and 15th of each month, and the British mail steamersrleave Valparaiso on the 26th of every month. To ports south of Panama, there is, therefore, at present, only a monthly communication, but by arrangements with the Admiralty the Pacific Steam Company will, towards the close of 1851, commence a hi-monthly mail, so that passengers will then be enabled to proceed to any of the Chilian, Bolivian, Peruvian, and New Granadian ports, by the West India mail steamers leaving Southampton on the 2d and I7th of every month.

The premises formed two sides of the square. With as little delay - as possible, the engines of the London Brigade and West of England Company attended, and, by carrying the hose from the engines on to the roofs of the surrounding buildings, they were enabled to cut off the fire from the two wings,which contained a vast quantity of property; and at 11 o'clock that part of the works where the fire began was nearly burned out, and the adjoining buildings severely damaged, more especially the premises of Mr. Mansfield, basketitnaker, in Holloway-place, and the houses numbered respectively 4, 5,6, 7, and 8, in Tobacco-hole-court. - None of the property destroyed was insured.

The report was received Kith the greatest satisfaction, and the usual vote of thanks passed to the chairman. THE RIGHTS or Max.—Shortly after the Stran raer steamer had put to sea last Saturday, with a large number of cabin passengers, a tall powerful man became conspicuous by his manner of talking to every one, holding forth on every subject, and professing the most ultra opinions. having towards evening, as he supposed, secured the good feelings of his fellow-passengers, and collected a considerable circle round him on the quarter-deck, he held forth in the most approved Chartist style. Ridiculing all the institu tions of the country, and, not content with abusing the aris tocracy in a body, attacking many by name—many who are never heard of as public men—be then commenced an attack on the country gentlemen of Ayrshire, and was in the act of naming a gentleman of large property near Stranraer, when Lord Ranelagh, who was at some distance, walked up to him, and raid, " Sir, I desire you will not abuse that gentleman, who is a friend of mine ;" but the hero of liberty' paid no attention. His Lordship again said, "That gentle man is a friend of mine ; and, unless you instantly desist from your abuse you will repent the consequences." But the man of the people, thinking, perhaps, his height and size would keep off all personal attack, again commenced, but was again stopped by Lord Ranelagh, saying, "Sir, it seems that your only idea of liberty consists in low and scurrilous abuse against every respectable person who has property. I twice cautioned you that the gentleman you named was a friend of mine, and you still persist in your abuse of him—so take that ;" and, with the word, the Chartist hero of six feet two was flat on the deck, where he lay for at least a quarter of an hour. The scene that followed was curious; Lord Rane lagh, without saying a word, walked back to where be had been before he heard his friend's name mentioned; and, for five minutes at least, not a word was spoken by any one of the passengers, so surprised were they, and so richly was the chastisement deserved. THE Aardr.—We have pleasure in stating that Major-General Milman, Major -General Kenah, C. 8., and Major• General Sir James Reynett, K.C.H., have been selected as the officers to succeed to the vacant colonelcies.

With this timely assistance the cor poration of Boulogne will be enabled to finish this important structure, which, with its powerful sluices and command of back•water, will, it is calculated, have the effect of deepening the harbour to the extent of from three to four feet, which will enable the packets of the South-Eastern and Continental Company to enter at nearly low water neap tides. This very important improvement will give great additional facilities to the travelling public.

A full Board of Admiralty sat at Somerset House to consider the report of the master shipwright on the new dock at Deyonport. The affair has now assumed the shape of the shipwright versus the civil engineer. We only trust that between them both the public in terests will not be allowed to be sacrificed.
