The second of the series of National Concerts took place last evening, and although the theatre was not so disagreeably crowded as on the opening night, yet it was respectably filled. The novelties of the even ing were the debiit of Madame Brascaccianti, the new prima donna from Milmn, and that of Mastic ildn rich ll'erntr, the juvenile pianist. Madame Biscac ciaati is a west accemplishee artiste. Her voice is a soprano of fine quality, and has been most highly cultivated, and her powers of execution are very con siderable. She sang a cavatina from Beatrice di Tc•nda, and the "Ah ! luce di quest' anima" from Linda, in each of which she was much and deservedly applauded. Master Werner is a perfect marvel ; he does not appear to be more than twelve years of age, and already as a pianoforte player he is the rival of Listz himself. He last evening performed a fantasia by List; and on being encored gave the " Flirondelles" of Willmers. We never heard a more brilliant specimen of pianoforte playing. This little fellow is the greatest musical prodigy who has ap • peered since the age of Mozart, whom he bids fair to equal, both as a composer and a performer. We hail the admirable manner in which Beethoven's sin foni a "Eroica" was performed last evening as an earnest of the full and fair redemption on the part of the com mittee of the pledge which they have given to pro mote the best interests of high musical art in these concerts. The engagement of the chorus of the Berlin Chapel Royal is another proof that the projectors of these concerts think no sacrifice too great to be made in promotion of the interests of art ; indeed, they profess to be in different as to the pecuniary results of the speculation, and to have in view solely artistical objects. In consequence of our complaint yesterday of the inconvenience to which we were subjected on the opening night, by being compelled to stand during the whole of the performance in the crowded promenade, we have received a most polite communication from Captain Carter, the se cretary to the committer, stating that our location.on that evening was the result of a misapprehension on the part of the employes of the establishment, and that henceforth proper accommodation will be pro vided for the• representatives of the public preeS. We were sure that there must have been some MiEr take; and we now return the gallant Secretary our' best thanks for his prompt attention, and the readi ness• of the gentlemen of the committee to facilitate the object in view—merely to be enabled to render their laudable exertions the fairest chance of success, by pcurtraying their merits truly to public observa tion, and consequent support. LI CEUM THEATRE. The Lyceum—that drawing-room of theatres — opened for the season last evening, under the manage ment of Madame Vestris, on which occasion two new pieces were produced, each of which was most triumphantly successfal. The first was entitled Serve him Right, and the gentleman who was served right was Harry Bellamy (Mr. Charles Mathews), who, having been u libertine all his days, is at length inveigled into matrimony and then becomes the most ingenious of self-tormenters, construing the most innocent circumstances into confirmation strong as proof of holy writ" of the existence of a plot against his peace, and rejecting all attempts at explanation with—" of course—l know the trick-1 have done so myself many times." He was admirably supported by Mr. Frank Matthews, es a good humoured old man, who always studies the bright side of nature, and whose sister, Mrs. Charity Smith (Mrs. F. Matthews), as " a woman of experience," thinks it her duty to always place the worst construction on everything. The dialogue is full of point, and the piece, which is the joint production of Mr. U. Mathews end Mr. Morris Barnett, was completely successful. This was followed by a new piece, adapted from the French by Mr. Flambe, and entitled My Heart's idol. Th e folic vying is a sketch of the plot :—Connt Leopold von Ka hlenberg (Mr. G. J. Vining, a young and graceful actor, who has just joined the company) , who n es been in the habit of winning the hearts of young ladi es b y means o f c i r cular love letters super scribed " my heart's idol," lays a wager with his friend Colonel Reichard (Mr. Bellingham) that he will obtain some favour or other from any young lady that should be namod within twenty-four hours after he had put his plans into operation. Colonel Reichard points out Louise VOTI. Esselingen (Miss Kenworthy). Forth goes a special "circular," s dd res sed to " my heart's idol," which contains an offer of marriage, the Count never dreaming that it will be accepted. Accepted, however, it is, and the Count finds he has gone too far. But retract he cannot, for through the agency of Madame :illenstein (Madame Vestris), the orders of the Emperor have been obtained to have the marriage between the Count and Louise solemnized fea-thwitb, with the provision that the Count shall be dispatched abroad for a year, in order to mend his morals, and make himself a suitable helpmate for his wife. The Count, believing that Louise has herself importuned the Emperor fur this edict, and has had the match brought about merely for the sake of Faining a title, goes to Amster dam, the place of his banishment, with feelings no way favourably inclined for womankind in general. But after a variety of adventures the young people are con fronted with each other, mutual explanations follow, and the love which has all along been lurking in the bosom of each is now mutually declared. There is a little under plot, in which Baron Barrowwitz (Mr. Charles Mathews) performs nearly a similar part to that of the Count, the object of his affections being a young lady who sub sequently forcibly becomes Baroness Borrow witz (Miss Isabel Dickenson). Madame Vestris was greeted enthusiastically on her entrance. She per formed with g seat vivacity, and appeared in excel lent health an d spirits. At the conclusion of the comedietta th,e National Anthem was sung by the whole of the company, the solo parts being taken by Made,uie Vestris, Miss Julia St. George, and Miss Ellis. The evening's entertainments con cluded with the Olympic Devils; or, Orpheus and Eurydice, in wh.-Ich Mr. H. Horncastle, Miss Ellis, and Miss Rosina Wright made their first appearance at this theatre. PRIS7CESS'S THEATRE. The Wife's S'ecret, was performed last night for the first time a t this theatre, and the result must have been high.'y gratifying to the management. This interesting play has proved one of the most at tractive predu:lt'ons of the modern stage, and not withstanding its long career of success at the Hay market and other theatres, the performance of last evening created :.-.s much enthusiasm as if the occasion had been one of novelty. The piece is based upon a story of " domestic interest," and the incidents are well calculate d to command the attention of an audience. The plot is extremely simple in construc tion, and exhi bits fewer of those tricks and contri vances of the dramatic art than are sometimes die covered in works of more lofty pretension. The cha racters of Sir Walter and Lady Amyott were sus tained, as at :former representations, by Mr. and Mrs. C. Kean, for whom they were specially designed by , the author, and the combined efforts of these favou rite performers were never more advantageously dis pleyed. The misplaced jealousy which absorbs all other feelings in the bosom of Sir Walter Amyott was portrayed by Mr. Kean with his wonted energy and artistic sk ill ; and the wrongs of the much-abused wife, the Lady Eveline, were depicted by Mrs. Kean with a truth and delicacy which are the distinguish ing charms of her acting. The other characters, more especially that of the shrewd waiting maid, which was played by Mrs. Keeley, were ably filled, and on the whole the revival of The Wife's Secret met with a most encouraging reception. gl6l 4! ) ' , 4 7 , tje:r • ';:4:." g r ;,, n.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER, 17, 1850. THE P.VEVEINTION OF CRIME. LETTER. 11. TO THE RIGHT HON. SIR GEORGE GREY, BA/tT., M.P.. &o. &c. • Sir,—ls it not therefore, as I before said, as clear as the sun at noon-day, that it is not severity, but real kindness to the crimilinl that he should be trans ported for life for his second offence, of course so punishing those who are guilty of great crimes for their first offence; and I ought to be here asked, would it not be equally kind, nay, would it not be more so, to transport all :for the first offence they commit. My decided answer is assuredly it would be more kind to the criminal, and better for the country ; no person possessed of sound judgment can doubt it ; there may be exceptional cases, but such are to be found in every truth, serving as excuses for the in dolent to do nothing, but never used by the states• man. I believe that if you. adopt the plan I propose the public will be so convinced of its benefit, that society will soon be prepared for the extension cif the principle, which would not now be the case inde pendent of other difficulties. I now come to my second proposition, viz.—That the plan I have proposed will, beyond doubt, be the most certain means of preventing the increase of crime ; not merely of the criminals A, B, and C, whom you have transported, but of D, E, and F, who are, under the present system, demoralised by living in the neighbourhood of, and associating with, A, B, and C. To show this clearly, it is necessary to inquire into the principal cause of crime in its most frequent as pect—Theft. Assuredly the principal motive which actuates a criminal to steal is not the mere possession of the object purloined; this is very seldom the real object he desires to obtain. That which operates upon his mind, and induces him to commit the crime, is, that he may enjoy some gratification which consti tutes his pleasure, and which the proceeds of the stolen article enable him to enjoy. The low theatre—the dancing-room—the skittle ground—the beer. shop, with the various haunts of more profligate vice, are closed egairst D, E, and F, with empty pockets, but they see A, B, and C entering the doors as often as they please, and. the natural question is, How can they enter into such places ? Evidently not by the proceeds of hoe.est labour, for such is incompatible with the frequttnt resort to such places. The inquiry is made, and eaginsly responded to— Do as we do—pick pockets—steal what you can, bring the stolen article to us, and we will instruct you as to the best means of disposing of it; with the money you obtain you will be able t o pay your foot ing, and we will be all merry together. is not this the truth, and am I not, therefore, correct in saying, that if you had transported A, B, and C, D, E, and F would, in all probability, have escaped a criminal career. I shall not attempt to designate hA fitting language the wickedness of the present system. The wit of the wittiest, combined with the judgment of the most sa gacious, would fail in devising a better or more correct answer to the question, What is the very best mode of fostering and rearing an abundance of criminals from infancy to manhood in the various shades of guilt from theft to murder ?—than the one furnished by the Government of this country —Do as we do, adopt our system. And will you permit so infamous a reply to be any longer given, or will you not brace up your mind to discover the best means of adopting so truthful a remedy as the one I have proposed. We are informed by Holy Writ that the poor shall be always with us, but it does not say that it is necessary to have a criminal population ; still less that they should be fostered by Government. This question is of infinitely morn importance than that on which the anxious care of Government is constantly employed—the improvement of our civil code • for the laws respecting p ro p ert y ma y he mo st absurd, and contrary to what the people desire, yet, as it operates equally upon all, they accustom them selves to it. But a criminal law under which crime is fostered until it Las reached to the enortnoc.s extent of 400 per cent. within the short space of forty years, strikes at the very root and well-being of society. Vires acquirit cundo is the characteristic of vice, and yet the Government, with the full knowledge of this fright ful increase, at with their hands folded, waiting for-- what? The public are exerting themselves—the active be nevolence of an Ashley—the shrewd sagacity of a Pearson—and the liberality of a Gurney, aided by numerous volunteers, have been all employed in de vising schemes, which shall prove a remedy for the increase of crime. At last the Government is aroused —for that is the proper term,, since their first cry is precisely the same as that which emanates from one just aroused from heavy slumber—" What is the matter ?" _ __ _ _ . And being fairly awakened, and being told that the fearful increase of crime is frightening all go men, they think it necessary to do something, and they ap point a Committee—for what purpose? To inquire into the best means of preventing the increase of crime P No such thing. The Committee shall inquire into the state of prisons. What was this conduct but in effect declaring that in their opinion the present system worked well, for under it the criminal charges had increased four hun dred per cent. within the last forty years ; and as it is not possible to reflect and to study the question without being satisfied that the increase of criminals was the end and object of the present system, what can we now do except to inquire how our prisons are conducted, and whether their inmates are sufficiently comfortable ! ! ! Having, I trust, proved the two propositions,—that it would be an act of kindness to the criminal that he should be transported for life for his second offence, and that the adoption of such practice would un doubtedly prevent the increase of crime—l will in my next proceed to indicate one mode by which the plan could be carried into practical execution. I have the honour to remain, Sir, Your very obedient and faithful servant, RIGBY WASON. CARDINAL ARCHBISHOP OF WESTMINSTER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—lt will, I think, be interesting to some of your readers to peruse the following petition from the Dean and Chapter of Westminster to the House of Lords, dated Feb. 5, 1848, when n similar one was addressed to the House of Commons, containing a protest by anticipation against the recent aggression of the Papacy in nominating the Rev. Dr. IN iaernan o be " Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster." I am, Sir, your obedient servant, VINDEIL. Oct. 16. " TO THE RIGHT HON. THE LORDS SPIRITUAL AND TEM PORAL OF THE UNITED EINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. "The humble Petition of the Rev. William Buckland, Doctor in Divinity, Dean of the Collegiate Church of St. Peter, Westminster, and the Chapter of the same Church. " Showeth,—That your petitioners have heard that a new Bill for 6 Roman Catholic Relief' has been brought into Parliament. " That they regard this measure with the greatest alarm on the following grounds : " Because it proposes to repeal the law which prohibits Romish ecclesiastics from officiating with Romish rites and ceremonies in any church or church yard, and is thus fraught with consequences injurious to religion and dangerous to public peace. . " Because it also proposes to legalise the admission and establishment in England of the order of the Jesuits, who cannot be regarded as faithful su bj ec t s to her lajesty, inasmuch as they take an oath of absolute obedience to a foreign superior, and who are dangerous in ‘very state, especially in a Protestant one, on account of principles and practices for which they have been expelled at different times from almost every country in Europe. " Because this Bill, if it pass into a law, will repea l the Act of Queen Elizabeth ' against bringing in bulls from Rome. "Because the Papal bull entitled In Cana Domini' anathematizes and aims to exterminate all Protestant princes and people, and i is still ordered by the Church of Rome to be read in Romish churches every year.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. 'TIMES.—The Duke Of Atholl has been lately distin guishing himself in his vale of Glee Tilt. The Scotch Dukes are determined to keep up the credit of the order. A letter has recently appeared in - our columns which contains a recital of the adventures of two Cambridge students iu that perilous defile . which separates Castle town of Braemar from Blair Athol]. We have no prc plain simplicity of th e story as it has one of the principal ac t o rs in the beent en si o recounted to rival t b b y e scene. There is such a thing as too ludicrous a theme, and such an one is the recent squabble between the Duke of Atholl and the two young students who were endea vouring to make their way through a portion of his do main. The decision of the , Court of Session which opened the vale of Glen Tilt to the public is, of course, matter of notoriety. But it seems the Duke of Atholl is prepared to snap his fingers at the sentence of that tri bunal, or at least to resist all travellers who may endeavour to make use of • their legal and most un doubted right of way through his romantic glen. We will not, however, anticipate, but rather take the story in the form in which we find it in the letter of our correspondent: On the 30,111 of August two young Cambridge students, who were engaged in a pe destrian tour of the Highlands, left Castktown with the intention of walking to Blair Atholl through the vale of Glen Tilt. Before starting, they made inquiries, and found, that although the Duke of Atholl might endear your to throW obstructions in the way of travellers, yet practically he would not, or dared not, proceed to any act of violence, in defiance of the; sentence of a legal tri bunal. We shall soon see how for this supposition was justified by the event. The first hindranco the travel lers met with in their attempt to penetrate into this mysterious region was at a rapid mountain stream, where they found the remains of a wooden bridge, which had been broken down in order to obstruct the progress of foot passengets. The two travellers, however, con trived to scramble across on the remains of the demo lished bridge, and proceeded on their way until they reached the Duke of Atholl's hunting -lodge. They were now about twenty miles distant from Castletown, and ten from Blair Atholl, and were beginnin g to congratu late themselves upon the successful issue of their enter prise. This was, however, reckoning without their host, in the most literal sense of the pirate. They were met by a tall fellow without 'his trousers,, but with an "imperial" and mustachios, who was driving a gig, and who called upon them in an i nso lent tone to stop. The name of this lightly-dressed indivi dual was Sandy Maclarran, and it appeared, after some altercation, that he was acting by the orders of the Duke of Atholl, who was down below in the glen. The travellers absolutely refused to turn back, and at last it was arranged, by way of compromise, that Sandy should conduct them into the august presence. They soon found the Duke of Atholl standing below, equally with out trousers, but with mustachio and " imperial " simi lar in all respects to those of his henchman. The Duke no sooner caught sight of the two travellers, wh o were proceeding quietly on their way, than he roared out to them to atop. This they refused to do. The Duke then ran round to them, in a state of great excitement, and barred their further progress. They represented to him in vain that the Court of Session had decided that the public had a right of way through Glen Tilt. "It is not a public way," replied the Duke, "it is my private drive; you shan't come down—the deer are coming, th e deer are coming !" Now at this point it is impossible not to remark that the Duke of Atholl—hurried away, no doubt, by the impetuosity of his feelings—was guilty of a gross misrepresentation of a simple fact which was well within his knowledge. We presume, of course, that the two travellers were passing along the regular path which had been the subject of litigation until they w ere led away to the spot where the Duke of Athol' was standing. If this be so, in what sense was it that the Duko of Atholl used the words, " This is not a public way, it is my private drive"? Surely he was not igno rant of the legal decision of a competent tribunal against his. claim. The public have as perfect a right to a " way" through the vale of Glen Tilt as the Duke of Atholl has to the possession of any acre of the prop er ty which constitutes his estate. The right in the one case, as the title in the other, is the mere creature of law. No explanation, of course, can be offered, but that the Duke of Atholl is prepared to refuse submission to the laws of his country, ignore the Court of Sessions and its decisions, and hold the Vale of Glen Tilt by the strong hand against all persons who may venture to insist upon their right to a passage through his do mains. But to go on with the story. The two young men who had been so uncivilly addressed ei:no toiobnesdieannedt I ttoias by the Duke expressed their perfect readiness to keep themselves in the background if their advance in any way interfered with the day's sport. No gentleman would have refused such a concession, and there,are few gentlemen who would not have been softened by the courtesy of strangers whom they were attacking con trary to all right and law. Not so the Duke of Atholl. Although the scene was passing in the presence of his wife and anothei lady, he commenced cursing and swear ing, and caught hold of one of the young men by the collar of his cent. A scuffle ensued, and the Duke of Atholl, like a gallant hero as he is, finding that he could make nothing of his antagonist single-handed, invoked the assistance of four of his own grooms. Four to one —we leave the heroic Duke oat of the question —are too fortnielable odds for any man—and so the young Cam bridge student allowed himself to be led to the back of the lodge. His companion was similarly entrusted to the care of four other grooms, and so the Duke of Atholl was permitted to enjoy his sport without the fear of personal consequences. As the Duke of Atholl here disappears from the scene , wo will not follow the story to the end withl the same particu larity. Be it sufficient to say that when f t u he ue dal ,a 's rn s e p d or t t ha w t a t s h o u ve m r ho ugt causedreturn t the c a y s o t u i e n t g o wtravellersway they came, and that if they diverged either to the e o would ul d gf cause vo u s y t e h r e y m si t n o ce b re e pleasure to be furnished with any contradiction which right arreste o d r t a h s e t re s leftp would place the conduct of the Duke of Atholl in a less a o s f s e the rs. F a l t t h n h . odious and less ludicrous light. Does he mean to say that he is determined to resist the laws of his country by open violence? The days of Highland chivalry are at an end. The Duke of Athol' with a " tail" of Sandy Maclarraus would be most surely and most ingloriously defeated by a batch of policemen in the course of an autumn's day. It is very well for a man to go down to the Scottish hills, lock up his trousers, and begin to play the Highland chieftain, but his assumption of the character must at least be a harmless one. There is little b a m e on hardg histo o deny wn a hills. man Butthe p he ri r v e ile w g e e of m enough of poetry left in the world, and certainly it would kilt may be a ridiculous anachronism, but resistance to the law is a serious matter. The two Cambridge students would have an easy remedy against the Duke of Atholl it they cared to bestir themselves in the business. Cer umstasecituupe.radTinhge tainly it would be rendering the public a service to bring this hotheaded, foolish man, to his senses. POST.—While we disclaim in our present observa tions any formal discussion of the proceedings of the re cent convention of Irish Romanish ecclesiastics, which they were pleased to dignify by the nave of the National Synod of Thurles, it is impossible for us not to direct the attention of our readers to some singular facts con nected with the assembling of that Synod which have been brought prominently forward in a very power ful article in the last number of t h e Dublin- University Magazine. The article itself W ill the perusal. Our purpose now, however, is merely to well repay an atten tive the facts to which it directs; our notice. The as sembling of this Synod was the first act cf the newly appointedlreland. So far as we can tax our memory, the Primate of the con vening of a solemn convocation of the whole of the Roman Catholics of Ireland has been a step never ven tured on since the days of Charles I. Nothing was left undone & that could give dignity or solem nity to the occasion. The ne w P r i m ate brought Roma n Catholic Church in with him a apeeial delegation f rom the rope. Gorgeous ceremonies heralded the commence ment regular and secular, paraded of the meetings of the Synod. Troops of ec clesiastics,oe public_ highways in the dresses of their orders. The incense censers perfumed the air; and, that nothing might be wanting to impress the mind as we ll as the senses of the multitude whom these imposing?ceremonials attracted round the fathers of their faith, he most renowned orators of the Romish Church addressed them from the pulpit upon topics the most with regulations observing the most minute exc iting to th© smoke of t h e assembled Irish mind. Amid the splendour of these ceremonials, and as w ce i t t i li cism d ob servances ecclesiastical or theetiquette, strictest bishops and those few priests whom t h e y associated with them proceeded in their deliberations. The . subject that principally engaged attention was that o_t the new Ireland by , th e educational institutions founded ll' British Sovereign—institutions in which e t ve t r y Conces sion appeared to have been made to al co ee nces h ai e Preju dices of the Roman Catholic P "Ple ke the loudnls' in deed, of such an extent as to Pt°v°d more un b e y d e • x e " pressed indignation of the sterner Ol e as the res n l le of her Protestant subjects.

The Papal Court nominated to the vacant Primacy its present occupant, Dr. Cullen, an Irishman by birth, but who had for thirty ye ars lesen domiciled as a priest in " the Eternal City," and who, therefore, in feeling , and habit, and association, may fairly be considered as a foreigner —whom we may certainly believe to be imbued with the politics and sentiments of the Papal Court. Eno, then, argues the writer in the University Magazine, is lest the security upon which such Romish prelates as De. Doyle and Archbishop Murray declared the State might depend. The new Pi imate has been appointed, not by Irishmen, but by Italians. He owes his nomination to his high office in no degree, however small, to the choice or recommendation of any one even owing the duty of allegiance to the Queen. On the contrary, his appoint ment is a direct slight upon the recommendation of British subjects. Neither is he a resident of the British dominions. The Irish born priest, who has for thirty years been a resident at the Vatican, is a denizen, not of Ireland, but, of Rome. And when this prelate cemes no Iteltipd, owin his elevation entirely to ' Papal influence 'and co cc, moreover, with a spe cial pontifical clelegatio , we find his very first act to be to convene, iii i ri style, so far as his means ex tended, of pempous magnificence, a synod that he calls rational. Over this novel convocation he presides, by the delegated authority of the Pope; and it is now no secret that, for the express purpose of overruling the opinions of the more moderate of the Irish bishops, he culls upon the Synod to register With uninquiring rever ence th© decrees of the Papal conclave, regulating the mode in which Irishmen are to bo educated, and de nouncing the institutions which the British Parliament and British Soversjgn have provided for that purpose. Without saying how far we adopt the inferences that the Dublin University AN-lc:zinc draws from these facts, it cannot be denied that the unusual mode of this appoint nasere unusual Iroceedinga byment, following the still which his primacy has been inaugurated, does at least lend countenance to the suspicion that some new and daring policy is contemplated as Rome, to carry .out which it was necessary .to brfak through established usages and select the most fitting insirument, in disrh gard of recommendations that htsve beemntsually defs.q.red' to. So far, the facts stated by the writer in the maga zine are facts of public notoriety, and upon the existence of which, therefore, no controversy can arise. Another statement, however, is added, for which no authority is given, and which, we confess, appears to require some. It is stated in the very respectable and cautious periceli cal upon which we are commenting, that the new Pri mate has declined to take the oath of allegiance to the Queen, and dee necessity of taking that oath as a quali fication is assigned as a reason for his refusing an ofliee of charity and trust. If this statement be accurate, and it has now been a fortnight befog' the public uncontra dieted, it does appear to us to be a matter deserving the most serious attention. Perhaps, if it bo true, the most charitable construction of Dr. Cullen's conduct would be that, by long residence at Rome, he regarded himself as a naturalised Roman citizen. The plea would be as bad in reason as it would be in law. We confess that, with the power and status now conferred upon the Irish Roman Catholic Church we cannot feel it a matter of indifference that the head of that Church, a man, too, who seems received to signa lise his primacy by calling out its energies into unusual activity—should, in temporal as well as spiritual things, consider himself a Roman not a British citizen—a sub ject of Pio Nono, and not of the Queen. Let us hoes that, as:to this matter cf the oath of allegiance, there is some mistake. Still, whatever may be the reel state of facts with regard to this, there is in the unquestioned facts that aro made the subject of comment in the Uni versity Magazine, in the strange spectacles of the re cently assembled Synod, viewed in connexion with the appointment of the convener—there is, we say, in these things matter sufficient to occupy the grave attention of all who know the tremendous influence which the policy of the Romish Church can exercise upon the peace and prosperity of Ireland, and, through ‘ lreland, upon the well-being of the British empire. DAILY NEWS.—Some of our writers, who are strenuous supporters of absolutism and authority in their worst shapes and in all climes, are, or affect to be, greatly shocked that the Pope should have appointed Dr. Wiseman to wear, in conjunction with a cardinal's bat, the title of Archbishop of Westminster. They describe it as a gross insult to her Majesty, and a kind of a challenge to the powers that be in this kingdom, sit ting as they do at Westminster. Be the wrong or the insult what they may be, it is quite certain that they are but part and parcel of that absolutist reaction which the Times has abetted, and excited, and fanned, and flattered. Nothing can be more evident than that the Pope is not the creature of his own will. When he was master of himself and of his intellects, and in harmony with his people, he was a liberal pontiff, elen,suncing no education as godless, and bearding no constitutiwal monarchies by his legates, his archbishops, and his preWasialls at eccle siastical immunities and independence. i t is onl y since he has been restored by the arms of France, inspired by the councils of Naples, and directed by the Cabinet of Vienna, or rather, it is only since ho has hansled over his Government to priestly ministers that follow these councils, that the Pope has become bigoted, reaction ary, hostile to British interests, exciting the flame of di.s oord in Ireland to a serious degree,and in England to an in convenient 'one. What, however, has done all this, save the military and absolutist reaction? What power has been employed or influence spent towards enabling the Pope to disturb the peace of Ireland and insult the dig nity of England, in a more marked manner than the power and influence of the Times journal ? The 7' imes is was that hallooed on the French in their invasion of Rome, and pacegyrieed it. The Times it was, whose representative was the ally and the organ of the Neapo litan generals, and priests, and ministers, and court. The Times represented Lord Aberdeen and the senti ments of the Tory party. And as such the support of the Times was most influential in encouraging the powers to restore , the Pope to all the insolence of absolute power and irrefragable wisdom. When the efforts of some English statesmen were directed, timidly and cautiously enough, heaven knows, to wards rearing up a constitutional system in Italy with a constitutional party to work it ; when the suc cess of such advice could alone, it was evident, have saved north, and south, and central Italy, from the grasp of absolutism and the resuscitated domination of a bi goted priesthood—who scouted this humane e ffort —who raved and plotted to defeat it? The followers of Lord Aberdeen and the writers of the Times. Is it, risen, in ' •the expression of tardy repentance, or in the mere is-Ise t me of inconsistency, that the Times comes at this f* hour of the day to denounce the awakened bigotry of the Pope? Is it that these people insist on reeetteblif h ing absolutism, yet will not have its consequences. that they will lick the foot of th© soldier, yet complain of his brutality? Kiss the Pope's toe one day, and be indig nant the next that h o em p lo y s the honoured member in dealing a kick t o the majesty of England? These adorers and restorers of tyranny should really make up their minds to the consequences of their own acts. if they will have imperial autocracy, martial law, and paps 1 infallibility, they must expect executions and condsca dons, massacres and woman-floggings, Roman Catholic legates and cardinals of Westminster. What is and has been for these months past, the daily preachment of the Times, the organ of all that is bigoted and reaetiocist in Europe? It has been to support the hyper-cathohse, ultra-absolutist power of Austria, fiercely and uncom promisingly opposed to a constitutional and religiously liberal spirit in Italy, as well as to a constitutional and Protestant cause in North Germany. Its entire policy, its undoubted power, its casual eloquence have been employed to crush the Protestant and free.thoughted principle in Europe. And the public of England has been foolish and criminal enough to support a journal in the prosecution of so vile an aim, and by allowing it to stand forth as the most accredited organ of the country, they have thus degraded England and themselves irre deemably in the eyes of the great world of Europe. There existed in 1848 large elements and great hopes for the constitutional organization of Italy. In these hopes were included the liberalisation of the popedon. The mere devotee may consider the pontiff'a as an isolated, a divinely-instructed mind. But common sense and experience show that he, like all men and monarchs, is the creature of circumstances, a constitutionalist and a liberal Catholic to-day, an AUE trian and a bigot to-morrow. Future pontiffs will be precisely what they are made by the elements that sur round them. Establish constitutional systems through out Italy, throw open education and the press, and then decree, if it so please you, that the Pope's sacerdotal duties shall be quite distinct from his temporal ones. The precaution would he vain. The ideas, the interests, the entire atmosphere would be changed. And how ever the dogmas of Catholicism might remain the same, the spirit of Rome and of its pontiff would become assi milated to that of enlightened and civilised Catholics, such as Protestants might respect , and could neither contemn nor fear. Such a state of things and feelings can, however, never be attained in Italy Sr in Europe, except by such policy and such il ad vice as Lord Minto, gave, and as flowed from . is pe in n and from that of other British representatives Italy (one, alas! now no more) in that memorable year of 1848. The power of England might in that year have saved Italy, might have protected Sicily, and rendered it a constitutiona l and free country, ae Piedmont still remains. Whilst the success of such ef forts in conjunction with Fr ance would have kept the French from that disastrous series of blunders in Rome, which has delivered Italy to all the tyranny and bigotry of the fifteenth century. If the Roman Catholic, or ra ther if the purely papal religion, has become resuscitated and menacing iu a political as well as a religious sense, it is solely because of its new alliance with absolutism, and because of the cowardice and treachery of moderate men, who have flung themselves from exaggerated hor ror of enarchy in morals and in politics, into the oppo. site extreme of supporting all that is despotic, and bi geted, and retrograde. People aro awakening, however. Those who could even app l a u d Haynau's butcheries are displeased that the Pop e s h ou ld appoint a cardinal .in Palace-yard. Th e y fo rg et that a thorough despot can neverlira. pp forgive o ea s countryceaeto Isar r upon, .nor a n u in, a counts y that is Protestant. POTATO FLOUR.—An importation having taken place from abroad of a quantity of farina or potato flour, the importer requested that it might be regarded in the same manner as sybeaten flour, and delivered at a duty of 41d. per cwt.; but as the article appears to be not only serviceable for feed, but also as an important material in a manufac turing process, it was decided to be liable to the ad valorem, duty of 10 per cent. as a manufactured article, and ordered to be chafed, AC49XdinglY• STLiTIOIVS OF THE ROYAL NAVY L'sT COMMISSION, WITH THE YEA!ISr. W/TEN BUILT, AND DATES OF COMMIS SION Or• THE OFFICERS IN COMMAND.

The Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and younger members of the Royal Family, wailled and rode as usual. 'There was no addition ycsterdpy to the Royal dinner party. Lord John Russell arrived at Pembroke Lodge, RielimoLd Park,) ester.lay, from the, seat of the Lai of Minto, Minto House, lioxburgnshire. The Right Hon. U. Labouchere arrived in town yesterday from Stowe Park. Dispatches wr,re received yesterday :It the Colonial.. office from the. Governor of Gibraltar. Dispatches, were sent off last evening from the Co lonial-office for the Governors of the West India Colonies, EXTRAMURAL INTERMENT. As far as the metropolis is concerned, this grea t victory of civilzation, health, and humanity was achieved in the last session of Parliament. And to whom is the merit due ? To one man alone, Mr. George Alfred Walker, the eminent surgeon of London. When, some years since, this gentleman commenced what we may call the mission of e x p os i ng the abominations of the London grove-yards, men's minds were horrified by the hideous details which be laid before them. They seemed to pars the bounds of credulity itself. But they were soon compelled to accept them as awful facts and tremendous realities. They could not be contradicted, as proof after proof was advanced to show the horrors of the charnel boons which were dedicated, not to the repose of the dead, but to the service of Mammon for the benefit of the living. It would have been supposed, when the public were made acquainted with the facts of the case, that the work would have been done and that the fiat would have gone forth to drive away the ghouls who revelled in the mutilation of the dead, and to shut up the poisonous hotbeds of cholera, fever, and consumption. But it was not so. While the people listened in a kind of paralysed amezement to the history of what was going on around them, the champions of intramural burial with all its evils, took the field with desperate re solution. At first Mr. Walker had to contend, in the might and strength of his own energies, against a whole hoist of foes. Bated again and again, he returned, Antmus•like, to the struggle after every fall. Nothing could daunt his spirit of indomitable perserverance. He had to go through a species of martyrdom for years, suffered in his profession, was assailed by obloquy, shot at by calumny and malig nity. But all in vain. Ha continued his agita tion until right prevailed against might. He appealed to the public in every possible manner, by meetings, through lectures, in the columns of the press. Allies began to show themselves in different quar ters. He and his cause were spoken of in Par liament. Converts were made, first slowly, then in larger numbers. The tall increases as it rolls, vires acquirit euncto, until at last the Government had the matter forced upon them, end the Bill just passed was the result. It was expected, when all this was achieved, that the hero of the con flict would have been calied upon to carry out his own work to its practical accomplishment. But it is not to he so. By some strange oversight, although much and good patronage had been created in connexion with the measure, certain officers being necessary to carry it into effect, Mr. Walker has been forgotten or negl.7xtted. His friends in the metropolis, and he has many and powerful ones, are exceedingly indig nant at what they conceive to he a great slight upon him, and are striving, with Lord Dudley Stuart at their head, to raise funds for a testimonial to express their high opinion of his merits and exertions. But we do not think that such a testimonial should be con fined to London. There is little doubt that the measure must be made general for the sanitary benefit of the Whole country, and we trust that in every place some energetic persons will be found to under take this cause and put themselves in communication with the central committee to which we have alluded. We regard the champion of extramural interments as one of the greatest benefactors of his country in modern times.—Doncaster Gazette, Oct. 11. MESSRS. HARDING and Co., 81, Pall-mall, beg to intimate to the public that, in consequence of the rebuilding of their premises, it has become imperative on them to dispose of the whole of their valuable Stock, which they have determined to offer for immediate Sale. at a very con siderable reduction of price. Messrs. 13. and Co. offer to the public the assurance that the Sale thus announced is bona fide. Their entire Stock, consisting of Silks, Ribbons, Lace, Embroidery, Shawls, Scarves, Cloaks, Mantles, Gloves, and ' the recherche Selection of Millinery, for all of which their establishment is so eminently distinguished, will be unre servedly subjected to the reduction. The Sale commenced yesterday, the 10th October, to be continued for a limited period. THE NEW STAMP ACT.—The present share set tlement to conclude to-morrow (Thursday), is the first that will have taken place since the new Stamp Act came into operation, and the effect of it is found to be most favourable for parties interested in the negotiation and transfer of joint stock investments. Under the old scale, large sacrifices had often to be made in the shape of stamp-duty. Parties having to break up their stock or shares, for delivery, into several minor quantities, so as to meet the requirements of pur chasers, have done so at a logs of a great many pounds, say from 15/. to on a value upon which, under the new scale, they escape with a disadvantage of no more than 11, to 2/. The issue of small stamps, commencing as low as 2s. 6d. per cent., and ascending at the rate of 10s. per cent., is found to faciitate business in a remarkable degree. A ss. stamp now suffices where a 255. one was formerly requisite, but, notwithstanding so considerable a change, it is antici pated that, in a very short time, the Exchequer will be by no means a loser in consequence of it. A great demand for stamps for share.deaiing and other purposes has already been experienced ; and as there will now be so little gained by evasion, the business of the share market will be more le gitimately done.—Pos: City Article. A PARISII DEFAULTER.—A warrant was granted yesterday, at the Westminster rolice•court, upon the ap plication of Mr. James Rogers, solicitor and vestry - c lerk, accompanied by Mr. Norris, one of the overseers of St. John's, Westminster, against Mr. William Thomas Restell, upwards of fifteen years chief clerk of the governors of the poor of the united parishes of St. Margaret's and St. s.
