BIRKENHEAD DOCKS BorwiloLDEß9.--liesterday, a meeting of the bondholdera of the Birkenhead Docks was held at the London Tavern; to consider means of completing the works; the chair was taken by Sir J. L. Goldsmid. The chairman said the point fcrr consideration on that occasion was whether or not it was desirable that the bondholders should in some degree 'forego their rights by consenting to the issuing of preferential shares for the completion of the works. Such a step should, in his opinion, be accompanied with a change in the trust. He would suggest that a com mittee should be form to consider the subject, and to frame a proposition. Mr. Winch, a trustee, stated that the amount which was necessary for the accomplishment of the object was 9 03,000/. The interest payable to the bondholders was 27,5 X/. a year; -the preferential charge would make an ad dition of about 10,000/. a year ; and the question for con sideration was whether by consenting to the issue of pre ferentiel shares, the bondholders would not, in fact, promote their..own interest. After some discussion a committee was formed to inquire into and consider the present state and condition of the Birkenhead DOCK trust, and the best means for raising the funds necessary to complete the works, and to confer with the committee to be appointed by the Dock Company thereon. The committee to consist of Messrs. Adolphus, Harold Littleclale, F. Golds mid, A. llende rson , R . Gardener, and th e R ev. James Hawkes. THE LATE GENERAL Silt FRANCIS THOMAS HAM HORD.

It has survived the dangers that beset the infancy of every institution. It has overcome the difficulties that impede and obstruct every new undertaking, however prudently and sagaciously planned. Like the Anti-Corn -law League, it sprung from a minute source. Seven men meeting in a small room in Manchester originated the association, which speedily took root in the affections of the people, and within a few short years had spread throughout the length and breadth of the land, defying the power of the monopolists to arrest its irresistible progress until it finally triumphed, assuring to the people the great desideratum—an unlimited supply of cheap and untaxed food. And yet these seven persons were not men of exalted rank or unbounded influence ; they were of the middle class, whose experience had convinced them of the enormous magnitude, the grievous injustice of the evil for which they were about to seek a remedy ; and the only influence they possessed was that which must necessarily belong to every: clear headed and intelligent man, with an unblemished character for honour and integrity in all his dealings. Their most powerful weapon was the justice of their cause ; they knew that truth and reason were on their side, and with such efficient allies they feared no opponent. Their great object was to promote dis cussion, to attract the public attention to the subject. When once it was taken into consideration in a calm and unprejudiced spirit the victory was achieved. When the ridicule with which every new project is invariably attacked had subsided, when the pom pous platitudes and specious claptraps, of which we sometimes hear the faint echoes from Protectionist gatherings, had ceased to control the minds of a people, who had begun to listen to the arguments, and could not understand that because " Britannia ruled the waves" her trade and com merce should be fettered and trammelled by a thou sand vexatious restrictions, or because "Britons never would be slaves" that they should voluntarily pay an enormous tax, an unrighteous tribute, to or for the benefit of a favoured class, the matter was brought to a conclusion. Victory after victory was gained; the Crystal Palace, St. Paul's Cathedral, nay, the largest building which it ever entered into the human mind to conceive, or which human power was en abled to carry into execution, could not contain the one-hundredth part of the numbers belonging to the association, all the members of which had a few short years before assembled in a small back room in a provincial town. But if the commencement of the Anti-Corn-law League was small, still more minute was the origin of the Freehold Land Society. Two persons only met together. Mr. J. TAYLOR —the name is worthy of being commemorated and treasured in the recol lections of the people—and a friend passed various resolutions, and the result has been the formation of the society, which has already eighty flourishing branches—thirty thousand members—all good men and true—and 170,000/. sterling paid-up capital on shares, which will eventually bring in about 1,000,000/. sterling. This extraordinary progress, we believe to be fully equal to any that has ever yet been accomplished, not exceeded even by the brilliant success of " the League" within a similar period. Its future strides will be even more wonderful, realising the nursery fable of the " Seven League Boots," or the arithmetical prob lem of the sum constantly doubling on each succes sive nail of the horse-shoes. Last year there were but 33 societies, now there are 80, and if the improve ment follow a similar ratio, we ought to have between 180 and 190 societies in November, 1851, and be tween 400 and 500 in November, 1852. And so there will be if further efforts be not rendered un. necessary by a large and comprehensive measure o Parliamentary reform, placing the suffrage on so satisfactory a basis that the want of the elective fran chise will be a mark of disgrace and ignominy, the fault of the " political cypher" himself, and not of the laws of the land in which he lives. But this salutary law will, if not altogether the off spring of the society, at least be essentially promoted by its progress. Let every man, therefore who values the inestimable privilege himself, and who has a sufficient sense of justice to extend it to others, although they may not deserve it as well as himself, hasten to join the ranks of the society. Let him consider with himself, whether he cannot allocate a few shillings, even ls. 6d. per week out of his earn ings, to so noble a purpose. Is there no unnecessary expenditure he can curtail—no usents luxury he can cut off? Every shilling contributed to the funds may be looked upon as a portion of the price of hi s freedom —what sacrifice or privation should not be willingly encountered in such a cause ? All who are worthy of obtaining the inestimable privilege will respond in the manner required ; acta non verba will be the test of their sincerity. If they would have their professions credited, let them join the society and pay up their subscriptions. Its portals are open to all, there is no exclusion. The honest and con- scientious Conservative will be received as readily and receive his freehold as speedily, as the Liberal. There will be no control attempted over the opinions of the members. Each may follow his own political predi lections without let or hinderance, The principle of the society is that it is unjust to deprive British citizens of the franchise, to keep them unrepresented and without a voice iii, ,the national councils while they are coutributin,C; to the national- expenditure. It offers a remedy for that grieianee. It provides Every man may, w i t h ordinary industry frugality, a c hi eve the fran chisefe isi facilities s a ndby and whichi t ordinary does not seek to depreciate the value of the boon by c logging it w i th restric- THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2B, 1850 be invidious to particularize any where all are good and beyond reproach ; and we should not even have alluded to the names of Mr. MACGREGOR. or Ma. OI,VEN, but that peculiar circumstances entitled those gentlemen to the distinciitm. It appears that the company is to be incorpora!ed by royal charter, which will limit the liability of the shareholders to the amounts for which they have subscribed, and for which they may execute the deed. There will be but 6,000 shares, of 201. each, with liberty to increase the en tire capital to 500,000/., so that all who desire to participate in a mine of wealth, richer than any contained in California, should make early application for shares. It requires no extraordinary power of vaticination to perceive that the shrewd and intelli. gent capitalists of the metropolis will endeavour to obtain some interest in an undertaking which pro mises a return of snore than cent. per cent., which offers a clear profit of 11,9081. on an outlay of 11,7171. Any delay will, therefore, be fatal, and prevent the possibility of the applications being ac ceded to. It is no Russian or Austrian loan that is now proposed, which, even if it offered ample security and handsome interest, would still be applied to purposes of which few Britons could approve. It is not to rivet the chains of the gallant Magyars, or to per petuate the dismemberment of Poland, and pre vent that gallant but unfortunate country from again attaining a place in the scale of nations that the funds are required. Every subscriber may lay his head upon his pillow with a clear mind and an easy conscience. He may reflect that while he is making his own fortune, he is contributing to feed the unhappy people of Ireland— that he is.aiding in the work of regeneration for his own countrymen, who speak the same language and acknowledge the same allegiance as himself—that he is assisting in developing the extraordinary natural ca pabilities of the sister kingdom. There is no danger of the material falling short. There are nearly 3,000,000 (2,830,000) acres of peat bog in Ireland, all well fitted to the purpose. There is no risk of undue competition. Mr. REECE'S discovery is pro tected by patent. There is an abundant demand for the artieles to be produced, the only difficulty will be to supply the market—it cannot be overstocked. There is nothing, then, that can prevent the unquali fied success of the undertaking. Everything is in its favour, and large profits must attend the speculation to all who enter into it at its com mencement. We, therefore, earnestly commend the project to the attentive consideration of our friends, and the public generally, again cautioning them as to the necessity of promptitude and dispatch. Let them seize the ' golden opportunity, and be assured that they will never have cause to repent of so doing. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Assembly has fixed Saturday for the discus sion of the proposition of M. CRETON, for the abro gation of the laws of exile against the members of the BOURBON family. This measure is supported by the Orleanists, but not by the Legitmatists. The gitimatist Union says : The sitting of yesterday concluded be a grave in cident, M. CI Ceon demandiug to have the proposition tending to abrogate the laws of proscription against the exiled royal families discussed without ( slay. Is the moment well chosen? That is what all the men devoted to the union necessary for order can decide. We think that M. CI icon ought not to have sought to have his proposition discussed at present. He has not perceived that he is about to create serious difficulties—perhaps dreadful storms! The Minister of the Interior opposed the pretensions of M. Cretan rather mildly, but M. de Montigny, in the name of the Right, declared that the proposition could be indefinitely adjourned. We regret that such a course was not adopted. In our opinion, the decision come to, to discuss the matter on Saturday, is much to be regretted, and if anything could compensate for that course, it is the language of M. de Montigny, who was anxious to prevent collisions dangerous for the majority. To those who were willing to expose themselves to such collisions, be the responsibility of their vete ; to our friends, the honour of having repulsed them in a patrio tic and noble sentiment." The Ordre, however, which is regarded as a prin cipal organ of the Orleanist party, approves of the proposition. It says— " We sum up for the moment the motives of the ap probation which we unhesitatingly give to M. CI Con's proposition. Laws of proscription are odious when their maintenance is not called for by manifest neces sity. Far from such necessity now existing, we con sider it useful and urgent to repeal them. If the Republic could only be preserved by laws of exile it could not live long, and would not be worth defending. If it is in the wishes and necessities of the country that it lasts, it will be an honour for it to allow those per sons who never have incurred either condemnation or reproach, and who desire to serve their country, to re turn. If, in fine, in consequence of the terms of the Constitution, or any other cause, the present President of the Republic ceases to be eligible, or is wanting to the nation, in 1852, other candidates of the majority ought to be ready to be opposed with success to the can didates of anarchy. But it is known that in this coun try of monarchical traditions, it is not a reason for ex clusion from the functions of President to belong by blood to the rocas which have reigned." We read in the Debats—" The conferences on the subject of the commissary of police of the Assembly, between the Questors and the Minister of the In terior, having been broken off on Monday evening, the former thought it their duty to submit to the Assembly the following Bill : " A commissary of police appointed by the bureau, on the proposition of the Questors, is charged with the police of the National Assembly. His salary and the expenses of the police of the National Assembly are in scribed on the budget of the grant to the National As sembly. He cannot be dismissed but on the proposition or on the advice of the bureau." The conferences were resumed yesterday. The Minister of the Interior is said to have announced that, "after having taken the opinion of his colleagues, be intended to address a letter to the President of the Assembly, in which he should propose that the commissary of police of the Chamber should be chosen from amongst the other commissaries of police, and might be dismissed by the bureau, in concert with the Executive Power. It is hoped tht this solution will be satisfactory to all parties." Accounts from Bourges hive been received of the election for the department of the Cher.

" The spirit that this corps and province has always displayed, the bravery which portions of it have exhi bited on the different battle fields, are guarantees to me that when the decisive moment arrives every soldier will be prepared to stake his life to defend the honour of Prussia from any attack. Comrades 1 in this spirit let us assemble, and, faithful to our oath, await the command of the King. 4 , Prince of PRUSSIA." The warlike spirit of the Prussian population con tinues to increase, In Hesse the Prussian troops are very popular, as they pay for all they consume, while the federal troopi take what they please without pay ing for it. Accounts have been remind from Vienna of the 22d. A terrible panic prevailed en the 'Vienna Exchange on the 22d. Gold rose to 39, and silver to 32 per cent. premium. The panic was caused by the non-arrival of certain messages from Berlin, and also by a paragraph in the Lloyd newspaper of that day. The Bohemian army musters from 2C0,000 to 300,000 men. Letters from Cassel, of the 22d, announce the ar rival on that day of some Prussian troops from Er• furth and Magdeburg, and state that the garrizon was to be fixed at 2,000 men. The Committee of the Assembly of the States of Brunswick came to resolutions on the 21st, declaring their confidence that the Ducal Government would not only refuse a passage to the troops, which nuty he sent to Schleswig " under the assumed title of federal troops," but will call on Prussia to support it against the employment of violence. A letter from Stuttgart, of the 20th, states that the Wurtemburg troops are ready to enter on a cam paign, and that their effective force is 15,000 men, but may, in a short time, be carried up to 25,000; The military baggage of the KING was ready, and he had designated the persons who were to form his suite, so that he would be ready to march within an hour after receiving orders. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. Accounts from Elatnburgh, of the 25th, states that the fortress of Rendsburgh was being provisioned for three months. T UItKE Y. - Accounts from Constantinople state that KOSSUTH was still in captivity at Kuteiali on the 7th, and was confined to his bed with fever. There was no truth in the report that nn attempt had been made to poison the SULTAN, but a widely spread conspiracy for the restoration of the old regime had been discovered, and several arrests had taken place.

BIRKENHEAD, 11.30 P.m. The town is perfectly quiet. The military occupy the Town-hall. The policeman Grimley, reported dead, still sur vives, but is in a very precarious state. Such was the disparity of force between the police and the mob, that not a rioter was captured. The conduct of Mr. Brown, the Roman Catholic priest, and others, is freely commented upon by the policemen en gaged in suppressing the disturbance. It is commonly re ported that the riot Was concocted as far back as Sunday last. The women are said to have been particu larly active in this affair. The Roman Catholics have put an address in the Liverpool Times of this morning, headed, "To the inhabitants of Birken head and its vicinity," and signed by Father Brown, Mr. Bretherton, and 17 others of the principal Roman Catholic residents at Birkenhead, in which they state the riot was provoked by the police, and all the blame is to be attributable to the bigots who called the meeting, and to the injudicious arrangements made by the magistrates to guard against it. MR. RICHARD DOYLE. The London corre spondent of the Tablet states that in consequence of the very indecent attacks upon the Roman Catholic religion that have lately disfigured the pages of Punch, I'4r. Richard Doyle, the talented author of the " Manners and Customs of the English," " Brown, Jones, and Robinson," &c., has considered it to be his duty to give up all connexion with that periodical. He protested, some time ago, against an attack on his religion which found its way into its columns, and then received a solemn promise from the editor that the offence should not be repeated. However, the engagement has been broken,and Mr. Doyle at once resigned his engage ment, and a salary of 6001. a-year.—Guardion. The Morning Chronicle of yesterday insinuates that the publication of Lord Beaumont's letter to the Earl of Zetland, condemnatory of the conduct of the Pope in his recent aggressions on this country, is to be ascribed to the fact of the Noble Lord having just received a Government appointment. We are unwilling to believe that any person— be he Roman Catholic or Protestant—moving in the sphere of the Noble Lord, could be induced to write contrary to his convictions, from any such motive; and we must say it is most ungenerous on the part of our contemporary to make the insinuation, in the absence of any evidence to support it. But, be the fact as it may, regarding Lord Beaumont, we are in a position to state that many other members of the Roman Catholic aristocracy of England, perhaps a majority of their number, take precisely the same view of the recent Papal aggressions as the Noble Lord. We believe the event will prove that we are not wrong in anticipating that other Roman Catholics of title will take an early opportunity of showing that they entirely concur i n L ord Beaumont's views. We can add, from certain information, that a large number of Roman Catholic gentlemen of eminence in science and literature, deeply deplore the course which the Popo has adopted, as being the most ill-judged and injurious to their religion which could have been taken at the present time.— Morning Advertiser. GREAT CENTRAL GAS CONSUMERS COMPANY.—A meeting of upwards of 400 of the shareholders of this com pany was held yesterday at the London Tavern, for the pur pose of considering the propriety of prosecuting a Bill in Par liament for regulating the company, Mr. Thomas Dakin in the chair. After a few words from the chairman the report was read. It stated that the period had arrived for consi dering the expediency of applying for an Act of Parliament to confer increased power on their company, and the direc tors, mindful of their pledge to the Commissioners of Sewers, deemed it desirable to have the power given them to take the necessary steps for that purpose. They had deemed it desirable to address a communication to each of the City gas companies inquiring if they contemplated any opposition. All the pipes of the com pany were now laid, and in a very few days all the works would be completed, and they had every reason to believe within the estimates given. Their services, to the number of 5,370, were laid. There were 3,213 metres connected up to Saturday last, and 22,017 lights now burning. They could not see upon what grounds opposition could be raised. It was not de. med improbable that on a proper application to the Corporation of London that body, with whom (upon the petition of the citizens of London in favour of the reduction of the price of gas) the movement originated, might be in duced to give their powerful aid in the accomplishment of a measure so obviously for the advantage of the citizens of London. Mr. C. Pearson having shortly addressed the meet ing, a resolution was adopted authorizing the directors to ap ply for and prosecute a Bill in Parliament to give additional powers to the company, and requesting the Common Coun cil to petition Parliament in favour of the Bill. A petition to the Common Council was then read, and signed by the entire body of the shareholders present, and thanks having been given to the chairman and directors, the proceedings terminated. So, then, we are about at last to have something practical. The bull—not the Popish bull—is now to be fairly taken by the horns. Puseyisin is at length to be grappled with in earnest. That scandal to the Anglican Church—that monstrous moral enormity—that great prac tical falsehood, is on the eve of being dealt with, with the vigour and determination which the exigencies of the case require. A great auti-Tractarian, as well as anti-Popish, demonstration is to take place in the Freemasons' Tavern, on Thursday next. One of the main objects of the meeting —indeed, we may say, the main object— is to "invoke her Majesty's aid to suppress the various Romish innovations recently introduced, in some quarters, into the services of the Church o f England." This is as it should be. This is the right way in which to go to work. We have often and earnestly enforced the necessity of purging the Anglican Establishment from the leaven of Popery under the less unpopular name of Puseyism. The root of the evil, as we have always said, lies there. The Bishops of London, Exeter, Oxford—the Puseys, the Ben nets, the Dodsworths, are the real authors of the recent daring aggressions of the Pope. Dr. Wiseman inferred, from their sayings and doings, that the great bulk of the Church of England clergy were similarly tainted with Romanism. He expressed that opinion to the Pope, and the latter per sonage in consequence thought proper to appropriate to him self, ecclesiastically, without hesitation or ceremony, the territory of the Sovereign of these realms.—Morning Adver LOVE AND AMBITION.—The author of "Rocking• ham," a work that received praise from the most influential critics, and excited general attention as proceeding from a very distinguished source, has just come forward with a new work of fiction under the title of " Love and Ambition," which, according to report, is no less original and striking than its predecessor. The scope afforded to this vigorous writer for a further display of his talent in an illustration of those powerful passions, ambition and love, combined with the high position of the author, has created an interest for this new work which has rarely been equalled. —.Evening Paper On Thursday, Mr. Shaw, woollen-draper, of Dud ley was crossing the North-Western Railway at Four Ashes when he was knocked down by the express train and killed on the spot. He bad just put his wife and children into a train on the up-line, which was waiting until the express had passed by. We understand that it was yesterday determined by the Court of Directors of the East India Company that the appointment of Governor of their military seminary at Addiscombe shall in future be quinquennial—that is. to be vacated after five years— like the appointments to the coun cils of India and to the general staff and commands of the army. This is a measure well calculated to secure efficiency in the performance of the duties. No officer has yet been selected as successor to Colonel Stannus, whose death *as re-. ported more than a month ago, brit many very distinguished offictrs are reported to he candidates for the situation.— , 'Moininy Poit. . 2 .

It address6s itself to freemen, not to slaves ; to men whose votes will be the rEsult of their own honest convictions, and not to those who will submit to the dictation of any man or body of men. It is the very "catholicity," the universality of its objet`, that ensures the success it will unquestionably ob tain, because it is eminently merited. Every day furnishes fresh proof that, despite the ef forts of Jesuits and Puseyites, the country is sound at heart—that England is " Protestant" England still— the land of Christianity as contradistinguished from Priestianity. From every part of the United King dom does every post bring intelligence of meetings held to express the " determination of the people," we quote the words of a morning cotemporary, " not to be thrust back into the swathing•clothes of the middle ages by any old spiritual nurse whether of Rome or Exeter;" and rejoiced are we to find that at the great majority of these meetings the right tone has been adopted. To the inhabitants of Bangor and of Carnarvon, however, is due the credit of having been the first to point out the most effective measures for rendering of non-effect the efforts of the great politico-religious conspiracy concocted at Gaeta for the destruction of civil and religious liberty, of which the recent Papal aggression is an overt act. The Bangor petitioners state that " they consider that the only safeguards against the usurpations of the POPE and the superstitions of Popery will be found in those weapons by which the Reformation was originally achieved, namely, the force of truth and the diffusion of knowledge ; and also in the exten sion of the sympathy of the Government and of the people of this country to those nations who have still to struggle against spiritual tyranny upheld and enforced by the arm of temporal power." The most efficient weapon of defence against those who, be it never forgotten, have arrogantly pro claimed that the time has arrived when "Protestant ism must be extirpated at the point of the sword," would be the formation of a Protestant League to at. • ford assistance and support to all who are struggling against Papal tyranny—a tyranny which abuses tole ration, because, not content with equality, it proclaims that it is itself oppressed whenever it is deprived of the power of oppressing others. The following list of the acts of aggression com mitted by the Papacy, or at its instigation, within the last three years, has been furnished us by a valued corespondent, and it proves the necessity of the for mation of some such League of self-defence as that we have proposed : " 1. An attempt (instigated by the Romish priest hood) to sever the Roman Catholic and Protestant cantons of Switzerland, an attempt enforced by war, aided by Austria and France. " 2. A brutal war of aggression against the Hunga rians, terminating in cruelties unparalleled since the dark ages. The Protestant principles (quite as much as their free institutions) were confessedly the cause of the Austrian attacks on Hungary. " 3. A direct aggression, by the POPE and his priest hood, on the temporal government of the Catholic kingdom of Piedmont." And to these may be added the seizure of the mo nopoly of education in France by the Jesuits, and the dismissal from their professorships of all those who are in favour of toleration for any other sect of reli gionists. As the correspondent to whom we have al ready alluded justly observes— " The most effectual mode of extinguishing the power of Popery (not excepting, perhaps, even the diffusion of education) will be found in the promotion and encouragement of Protestant principles and free institutions in those countries which are the seats of Popish domination, viz., in Italy, Germany, and other countries in the south and centre of Europe." It is evident that the conspirators themselves feel that the adoption of some such method as this would be fatal to their success; for in the Jesuit jour nals of Paris we find it stated, in a manner which proves the alarm of those who make the statement, that the "Anglican clergy have come forward with their subscriptions to fill up the Mama' loan." The statement, we are sorry to say, has no foundation, but the foe has shown his weak point by raising the outcry, and we thank him for the hint. To present the POPE with the reality of a Roman Republic would be a proper return for:his present to us of a sham Engli s h hi erarc h y, and his HOLINESS would find Mazzem rather more difficult to deal with than Queen VICTORIA is likely to Had Cardinal Weseatax. The Bangor petition concludes as follows : " That your petitioners therefore humbly conceive that it is of primary importance that the universities end schools of this land should be rendered seminaries for the instruction of youth in the pure principles of the Protestant faith, and in the rudiments of an enlightened secular education. Your petitioners therefore humbly pray your Majesty that a full and complete inquiry be instituted into the universities and schools of this coun try, and into the state of the endowments for the pur poses of education bequeathed in former ages, in order that all principles adverse to the spirit of the Reforma tion may be eradicated from our schools and college s, and that the donations of our forefathers may be applied as was intended by the donors to the general advanc, went and instruction of the people." We hope that every petition and address will, for the future, contain a prayer for university reform, aid that those who have agreed to petitions and adre.,s in which allusion to this important subject has been omitted, will forthwith re-assemble and agree to an additional address, calling the attention of her MA-• JESTY to this special matter. In en adinir- able letter on Puseyima, from "An Old R, former," who has often honoured The Sun by making it the medium of his communications uith the public, this subject of education is admirably handled, and we hope and believe that early in the next session of Parliament we shall see the banner of 7 - " Secular Education" raised under the patronage of the Government. There is another recommendation of " An Old Reformer" which we trust the Govern- meat will at once adopt. "The QUEEN'S Ministers,' says our correspondent, " though they cannot unmake a bishop, at least without more trouble than it is worth, might mend the breed. Make Gortu.km a bishop, as a persecuted defender of Scripture atd common sense would have been in the days of our fathers; and see if that does not balance a half-dczcn of traitors. There are ways for everything; and when men mean it, they take them." The raising of Mr. GORHAM to the episcopal bench would be the heaviest blow and tle greatest discouragement that the traitors within the camp have yet received ; the first vacant mitre should decidedly be conferred on Mr. GORHAM. We had intended, in the course of this article, to have noticed the admirable letter of Lord BEAUMO/ST, and " the base, brutal, and bloody" attack of an armed Papist mob, headed by their priest, at Birkenhead, upon a party, of unarmed Protestants quietly assembled to discuss the propriety of presenting a loyal address to the QUEEN, but we must defer the consideration of these matters to another opportunity. We are, indeed, rejoiced to find that the wonderful and important discovery of Mr. REES REECE, to which we have repeatedly directed the public at tention since it was first mentioned in the House of Commons by the O'GonarAer MAHON and Lord ASHLEY, is about to be carried out under the most propitious circumstances, under auspices that forbid the slightest apprehension as to its ultimate and triumphant success. From a reference to our advertising columns, it will be found that the British and Irish Peat Company is in course of formation, that JOHN MACGREGOR, the clear headed and intelligent Member for Glasgow, the excellent and efficient chairman of the Royal British Bank, the quondam Secretary of the Beard of Trade, which situation he resigned in order to accept the important trust confided to his charge by the largest town constituency in the United Kingdom, and who cons quently possesses greater experience in all mat ters of trade and commerce than any man in the British dominion?, will be the chairman of the new company now in course of f•-t 4ol, eation, and th a t Mr. W. D. OWEN, to wnose enlightened and enterprising liberality the talented propounder of the project is indebted for the clear and satisfactory evidence of the vast importance of his discovery, is to be one of the directors: There are other..names to be found in the list now published whose well-merited reputations and business habits etTord the best possible guarantee that no statements have been put forward which cannot be fully and completely substantiated, that. there are no exaggerations or untenable assertions con tained in the prospectus.
