He is a writer of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religien, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha raeterisenature's nobility.

"` Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great good taste and power.

Exertions were not long since made by one of our correspondents to direct general attention to the many anomalies existing in the system of deep-sea fisheries. The arguments advanced by Mr. DEMPSTER, for the purpose of demonstrating the folly of the present plans of arrangement may not be altogether lost to the re collection cf our readers. Those arguments, it may be remembered, were in no respect based upon rhe tarical sophistries or merely specious declamation. They were founded upon facts collected together by the writer from the most authentic sources, but prin cipally, we should remark, from his own individual observation. Acquainted himself very intimately with the evils arising out of the preference given to fish caught along shore in open boats, instead of to the fish caught in the deep seas and conveyed in the decked welled smacks to the London markets—he was solicitous to force the same truth upon the con- victionof the metropolitan fishmongers. Fortunately for his argument, in the very thick of its discussion, a gale came on, as if for the very purpose of illus. trating the shortsightedness of the changes latterly introduced. From being in a manner glutted with the produce of the along-shore fish eries, the market of the capital was almost entirely without any supply of fish whatever. The open boats were unable to administer to the wants of the metropolis in consequence of the foul weather. At the same time so many of the decked smacks hitherto employed in the deep-sea fisheries had been abandoned through the preference given to their more frail competitors, that the fishmongers of London looked in vain to them for the relief of their abrupt and temporary requirements. The reason for all this was obvious. In consequence of the increased facili ties afforded in the transmission of goods by the rail ways threading more or less the whole surface of the united Kingdom, the inferior kinds of fish caught with less trouble along shore could be forwarded by rail from all quarters to the metropolitan market-- tempting the trade to purchase by their cheapness when compared with the produce of the deep-sea fisheries. The result of all this was inevitable. The number of decked smacks employed at one period in the diffe rent ports of England, with a view simply to supply the necessities of the London market from, being not fewer than four hundred on the aggregate, fell off in a scale of rapid diminution. Insomuch, that ac cording to the estimate formed by Mr. DEMPSTER, there are at present scarcely more than half the ori ginal number. So disastrous indeed was the influ- WSP P Ett ence of this unlucky preference on the part of the - ,London fishmongers, that the writer assures us in a eeee anent statement, " whilst in London, I discovered thwt the very system of fishing I had so long held up as an example for our northern fishermen to adopt, - e was in the south every day falling to decay, going to 1 4.'"A ~'w ~__.._ THE SUN, wreck and ruination." Seeing this, our correspon dent determined at last to memorialise the various authorities. From the Directors of the Hon. East India Company, it is true, he obtained a little indivi dual patronage, as also in like manner from the Hon. the Brethren of the Trinity, and among others from the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of London. Other wise his applications proved everywhere unsuccessful. The Lords of the Admiralty contented themselves with co9lly referring him to the Board of Fisheries, and the Board of Fisheries satisfied their consciences by assuring him that beyond the cured fish department they had no powers granted them to aid in any im provement. With regard to green fish and the fish markets, all wholesome reform is abandoned by the Government "entirely to the superintendence of the local authorities." To the Board of Fisheries, there fore, we may continue to look in vain for any satis factory innovation. In consequence of this prevailing apathy in refe rence to an important branch of the national in dustry, Mr. DEMPSTER found the whole of his more hopeful anticipations dissipated. His account of his disappointment under these circumstances we shall give in his own words. " Having pushed my views,' , says he, "as far as I possibly could with the slender means at my disposal, and my anticipations beginning to flag that the fishmongers of London were likely soon to remunerate me for my labours, in pointing out to them that they were off the direct road for promoting any improvement in the quality of their fishmarketing system, last June I left London again to return to Scotland ; reluctantly enough, none need to doubt, as I had failed in my proposal to return to India. On my passage northward, I called at Hull, Newcastle, and North Shields, inquiring into the condition of their fisheries and fishmarkets. At the last-mentioned place I again met with another vexatious disappointment. My small experimental model yacht, named The Problem, was hauled up on the beach there, and had been lying for several years, ' a novelty which many went to look at. Whilst in London I had suggested to some that had I that little vessel on the Serpentine River, Hyde-park, during the year 1851, she might cause some attraction. But how vain is it for man to build up his hopes for the attainment of any hobby on this earth ! Whilst I was all unconscious but that the little vessel was lying at Shields unmolested, as she had been for a considerable time, it appears that some marauders had broken the vessel up and taken every inch of her away to dispose of (in all likelihood) for old material. She was iron, and strongly built, with 17 cwt. of lead run into her angular keel. In all probability the lead was the bait that tempted. No one could give me any tidings as to who the perpetrators were ; all said the work of destruction must have been carried on during the dark hours of night." Complaint of any kind, he justly remarks, would only have subjected him, in addition to his loss, to a large amount of ridicule. He is, therefore, reluctantly compelled to put up with his misfortune, and to work out his " Problem" as be best can, without indulging himself in useless la mentations. Added to the suggestions already advanced by Mr. DEMPSTER, in reference to the subject of deep-sea fisheries, there is yet another bearing directly upon yet larger interests, we mean one affecting the uni versal interests of navigation. An entirely novel plan of telegraphing at sea has been submitted by him (but hitherto without effect) to public scrutiny, a plan by which signals may be made on a new principle of changing colours "so as to symbolise the twenty eight characters of the printer's alphabet." The ad vantages arising out of an efficient system of this cha racter are sufficiently apparent to remove any neces sity for their enumeration. But, however apparent they may be, and in this instance unquestionably are, the propounder of any such theory must inevitably look forward to its treatment at the outset as a cro chetty and visionary contrivance. Under all considerations we cannot but regret the ill success which has been hitherto experienced by propositions Which, if sound, must be so eminently calculated to advance the interests in one case of the fisheries especially, and in another of the whole sys tem of navigation. If, as the Honourable Board of East India Directors conceive, Mr. DEMPSTER is now too old to return to India and resume his former du ties as pilot, he is possessed at any rate of energies sufficient to infuse a spirit of enterprise into the de caying system of our own deep-sea fisheries. his abilities ,and experience, for instance, might be well employed in the promotion of the Irish fisheries and in their general superintendence. An appointment of this character, we are satisfied, while compensating an excellent servant of the public for his many and grievous losses, would be singularly advantageous to Ireland and creditable to the Government. It is to be regretted that the attention of English capitalists his not been more strongly directed to the extraordinary inducements now afforded for Irish in vestments. Never at any former period have so many and so great advantages been offered to pur chasers. Estates of the most eligible description are in the market, for which no fair or reasonable oiler will be rejected. The person with sufficient means at his disposal, the owner of a few thousands as well as the rnillionoaire, has the whole country before him where to choose. East, west, north, and south, in Leinster, Connaught, Ulster, and Munster, there are properties for sale suited to every purse ; to that of the man whose only desire is to farm his own land and kill his own mutton, as to him who wishes to be come one of the territorial aristocracy, the owner of wide-spread domains, with a commanding voice in local politics. Large estates may be purchased with out division or diminution, commanding the fealty of numerous and respectable tenantries, or divided into eligible lots. No temptation is wanting. There is no necessity for investigating the title, that is placed on the firmest foundation. It is guaranteed by the Imperial Parliament, and all retrospective de ductions are wholly dispensed with. The purchaser may enter into possession without expense, delay, or risk ; with the certainty that he is not only protected from the consequences of any claim that may be pre. ferred at any future period, but that he may dispose of his property, or make it available as security, without difficulty or expense. He will receive a new root to his title above all suspicion. And yet, not withstanding all these unquestionable and, we may add, unparalleled advantages, the golden opportunity is let slip, and Englishmen, who have hitherto exhi bited the greatest spirit and enterprise, ,who have sought profitable investments in every quarter of the globe, are disregarding the road to fortune that lies at their very thresholds. Since the termination of the vacation the same apathy has existed which was so painfully conspicuous before the recess. The Commissioners, however, ap pear determined to exhibit greater firmness, and not to sanction the " alarming sacrifices" that seem to be looked for. Sales have, therefore, been more fre quently adjourned than heretofore, at the same time that, whenever a fair price has been offered, it has been readily accepted. There will apparently no longer be any danger of "confiscation," of lands be ing transferred from the former inheritors without a fair equivalent to themselves or their creditors. And speculators must make up their minds to bid something approximating to the actual value of the lots, and not delude themselves with the idea that they will obtain really valuable property at something so immeasur ably below its real value as to make it appear more like the bidding of a receiver of stolen goods to pro fessional plunderers, who would jump at any price, than of a fair dealer, who mild openly enjoy his newly acquired rights, and maintain them against the world without danger of disturbance. Last week there was a friendly competition be tween the old and new tribunals, betw een the Courts of Chancery and of the Commissioners for the Sale of Encumbered Estates. Two magnificent properties, both situated in the favoured and favourite province of Ulster, were submitted to public competition on th e Inns' Quay.] A portion of the Blessington estate was set up under the able direction of Master LITTON. It anugt be borne in mind that this property was to be sold under a special Act of Parliament, so that with respect to title it was similarly circum stanced as the estates disposed of under the Commis- sion on the first day. There was a manifest shyness on the part of bidders. For the first lot a sum barely equivalent to 15 years' purchase was offered. Master LITTON, however, showed that he was not to be easily caught. The sale was adjourned; and the next lot was disposed of for more than 19 years' purchase ; and on the following day, eleven other lots, producing LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 12, 1850. an annual rental of 1,1351. 9s. were sold for 23,9501,, or something more than 21 years' purchase on the entire, the spirited and decided conduct of the Learned Master having most probably produced this satisfactory result. This magnificent property altogether comprised 68 townlands, containing 32,000 acres, situate in the county of Tyrone, and producing a rental of about 16,0001. per annum. There was, however, no person able and willing to become the purchaser of the whole. At Henrietta-street there was something almost equally tempting. The Earl of AIOUNTCASHELL'S Antrim estates, containing more than 48,000 acres, and producing a rental of 16,0001. a year, were put up, but the biddings were slack, and only a few lots changed hands. We sincerely trust, however, that this strange and unaccountable apathy may speedily vanish, and that Englishmen and Scotchmen will, ere it be too late, discover their error, and look to the great advantages that are now within their reach, the golden opportunities that are rapidly passing away. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Moniteur of this morning publishes a decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, appointing General GUESVILLERS to the command of the 14th and 15th military divisions, in the room of General NEU MAYER, who is placed en disponibiliti. The war between the Bonapartists on the one side, and the Orleanists and Legitimatists on the other, con tinues to be carried on, notwithstanding the patched up reconciliation between the PRESIDENT and General CHANGARNIER. As we yesterday stated, M. CAR LIER, the Prefect of Police, has published an official denial of the rumour of a conspiracy for the assassi nation of General CRANGARNIER and M. DUPIN, and reprimanded the Commissary of Police who had made the report to the Committee of Permanence. The following is M. CARLIER'S official note : " Whereas on a recent occasion, M. Yon considered it right to address inexact reports to certain members of the National Assembly, relative to a pretended conspi racy against General Changarnier and the President of the Chamber, and without having at the same time trans mitted his reports to the Prefecture of Police, which, in consequence, could not control and rectify them, and in case of need take Ruch measures as might be necessary; and whereas there result, from this infringement of the orders which he had received, consequences injurious to public order; and whereas, in acting so, he not only dis obeyed the rules of subordination, but also compromised the responsibility of the Prefect of Police, we decide as follows :—That the salary of M. Yon, Commissary of Police at the National Assembly, is suspended until fur ther orders. " P. CARLIER, Prefect of Police." As is well observed by the National, this note only proves that M. DUPIN also has his police, who watch the police cf M. CARLIER, and so pleased is M. DUPIN with the zeal of M. YoN that he intends to propose to the Assembly to make good the salary of which M. CARLIER has deprived him. Whether any such conspiracy existed or not, it is.evident, from the following article in the Ordre, that the Orleanists intend to make political capital of the revelations of M. YoN. Tnat journal says— " M. Yon, the Commissary of Police attached to the Legislative Assembly, after having performed his duty in informing the President of the Assembly of the facts which came to his knowledge, intends, also, performing his duty as a magistrate; he will reply to the pleasantries of the Constitutionnd, and to the accusations publicly made against him by the Prefect of Police, by bringing the in: Ater before a court of law, and producing the pieces verbal which he drew up in the exercise of his functions. He will be able, it is said, to support his statements by strong testimony. The Permanent Com mittee, which had no mandate to act directly, but which has a just confidence in the experience and moderation of M. Yon, can only await the results of this judicial investigation. The Commissary of Police, who is so strangely attacked and insulted, and in a cer tain measure in the name of the authorities themselves, for having courageously done his duty, will then find himself under the safeguard of the courts of law, and, if necessary, of the National Assembly, which will know how to protect him." The samejournal says : " The pleasantries of the Constitutionstel remind us of a sad circumstance. In 1835, the day after the abomin able attempt of Fieschi, Paris, still in agitation at the news of the crime, learnt that e police, on the 27th of July, had received intelligence of the crime which was to be perpetrated the day after, July 28, and had even been sent a description of the infernal machine. The police had laughed at the warning." On the other hand the Bonapartist journals, the Pays, the Patric, and the Illoniteur du Soir, denounce the Committee of Permanence as a band of Orleanists and Legitimatists engaged in a conspiracy for the deposition of the PRESIDENT of the Republic. It is amusing to read the description which these journals give of their former friends and allies. A most diverting pamphlet might be compiled from the vari ous journals of the reaction; it should be entitled " The _Great Party of Order described by Itself." The Pays describes the Burgraves rs forming "two little coteries of Legitimatists and Orleanists, as in• significant as they are ambitious, who dare to reckon on the army to bring back to the Tuileries the Count DE PARIS or the Count DE CHA.MBORD, and who cannot restrain their rage when they see the army prefer the nephew of the EMPEROR to their candidates." The Pays goes on to say that this coterie "wished to profit by the excitement occasioned by the: removal of General NEUMAYER to create a general panic, by means of which they thought to de pose, carry off, and imprison at Vincennes, the PRE SIDENT of the Republic, to establish a Dictatorship, and to bring back the Count DE PAR;:s." The Moni teur du Soir characterises its former friends, allies, and associates as " TARTIJFFES of liberty," " Anar chists of high places," who, entrusted by the Assembly , with a holy and sacred mission, violate the trust re posed in them by undertaking journeys to Goblentz or to Ghent, to him whom they call their King, and "organize conspiracies for the future betrayal of the national sovereignty which they have publicly sworn to maintain." The Patric explicitly declares that " a faction had endeavoured during the prorogation to depose the PRESIDENT of the Repub lic." " This faction," continues the Patric., " which reckoned on the support of the Committee of Per manence, was formed from the ranks of the party of order, and is composed of men whose ambition has been disappointed, and their vanity wounded," . . . " of the lost sheep of the flock of Orleanism and Legiti matism, and of the most agitating members of the Tiers-parti." The authorities ordered the dissolution of the Legitimatist Society of the Cercle Nationale at the same time as that of the Society of the Tenth De • cember. The Pattie says that the Legitimatist So ciety still continues to hold its meetings in defiance of the law. The same journal adds : " In their attacks against the Tenth December several journals have sought to establish a connexion between that society and the one which was established at 9, Rue du Faubourg Montmartre. This latter bas never had anything in common with the Society of the Tenth December." The gerant of the Legitimatist journal, the Mode, has been sentenced to a fine of 2,000 francs, and three months' imprisonment for a libel on the PRESIDENT of the Republic. The Moniteur Algerien, of the sth, contains an account of the inauguration of General D'IIAUTPOUL as Governor- General of Algeria, together with the proclamations issued by General CHARON on his re tirement from, and by General D'HAuTrauL on his entry into office. General CHARON went to Algeria sixteen years ago as captain of engineers, and rose gradually, step by step, to the governor-generalship. General CHARON has arrived at M arse ill es . _ _ The Moniteurcontradicts the statements of some of the journals to the effect that the Minister of the Interior had attended the Commission of Permanence on Saturday, to give further explanations on the sub ject of the pretended conspiracy against the Presi dent of the Assembly and General CHANGARNIER. There was no Minister present at the meeting. The National Assembly met yesterday for the first time since the prorogation; the proceedings were of a merely formal character. There was a considerable crowd on the Place de la Concorde, but the utmost order was preserved. The director of the Presse is to be prosecuted for publishing a document which it gave as the message of the PRESIDENT, but which is nothing more than a collection of extracts from some of the works of Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON. Several persons were deceived by this false an nouncement, which for several hours occasioned much agitation and no small alarm. PARIS BOURSE, Nov. 11.

GERMAN Y. Count BEE STOUT had not 'arrived at Berlin on the Dth, but dispatches had been received from him. It is said that in two days Prussia will have 480,000 men under arms. By a royal order published on the evening of the 9th, all subjects of Prussia belonging to the army, landwehr, or reserve, are recalled from any foreign state, whether they have leave of absence or not. The order will be a fatal blow to the Holstein army, as it will deprive it of its best officers and 3,000 or 4,000 men. The funeral of Count BRANDEDO3URG had taken place with military honours. The greatest enthusiasm prevails at Berlin in con sequence of the energetic position assumed by the Government. Addresses are being prepared assuring the KING of the satisfaction of the people, and of their determination to sacrifice their lives and property to maintain the honour of their country. The Kolner Zeitung does not share in this enthu siasm, and severely comments on the folly of the Go vernment in not endeavouring to engage the co-opera tion or friendship of England, France, or Sardinia. " No state," says the Kolner Zeitung, "has any in terest to come to the assistance of Prussia, unless the annihilation of that state be the first step towards the establishment of despotism throughout Europe." And addressing the Prussian Minister that paper adds— "lt is only in the name of liberty, which you scoff at, that you can find your allies against despotism. But the name of liberty would, indeed, sound strangely from your lips. Did you not from the first offer to co-operate for the suppression of right in Electoral Hesse ? Did you not express your apprehensions lest the princely authority of that crowned caricature might be violated ? Did you not march your troops to the very frontier, threatening, at the first movement of impatience or resistance, to bear down upon that poor and martyrized people ? Those are very wrong who believe that Prussia—that the present official Prussia, can ever reckon on the alliance of the national movements of any country. Prussia has nobody to rely on, because no one citn rely on Prussia. The long and the short of it is, that you have not a single ally, and that the 'peculiarity of your character is not likely to make !friends. We trust, indeed, that England will distinguish between the people and the Government." Intelligence from Fulda states that General GROE BEN, in a letter to the Prince of TOUR and TAXIS, bas accepted the state of war. The Prussians have taken up strong positions near the town, and have protected them by the inundation of the valley. Their ad vanced posts are about a league from Fulda towards Narhof. The advanced posts of the federal troops are distant about a quarter of a league, at Loeschenrod. The Cologne Gazette publishes the following in a third edition : " Letters from Fulda announce that the first shots have been fired. A Bavarian detachment of cavalry having approached too near the Prussian lines, the com manding officer twice warned them to retire; the Bava rians still advanced, when the Prussians fired. Two or three of the Bavarians fell, the rest retired." The above account is then contradicted. Under the date of Frankfort, the 9th inst, the Oben Post Amts Zeitung says :—" The Prussian troops that have entered the Electorate have com menced hostilities against the Federal troops. On the Bth, General Prince THUEN and Taxis pushed his advanced guard forwards on the Fulda road. Ills object was simply to reconnoitre, and to make a change of quarters. To avoid giving a pretext to the Prussians, the swords of his men remained in their scabbards, and the muskets of the infantry were not loaded. Near the village of Bronnaell a sharp fire was opened upon them. Four or five men were wounded. Whilst it was presumed that this opposi tion to the Federal troops, confirmed by bloodshed, would lead to further hostilities, a Prussian herald arrived at the head-quarters of the Bavarian troops, the bearer of a letter from General VON GROEBEN, saying that, according to instructions from Berlin, he would evacuate Fulda on the 9th, and retire to the transit ground. No further hostilities have taken place." The committee named by the President of the dissolved Assembly of Wurtemburg sent an address to the KING, but the Government returned it un opened. On the morning of the Bth the committee wished to meet in the Chamber, but they found the military in possession of it. It is supposed they will protest, and assemble elsewhere. RADETSKY has arrived at Vienna. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES, The Hamburyh Borsenhalle of the Oth has the fol lowing from Copenhagen : " Our Government, is is said, will not consent either to an armistice with Holstein or to the settlement of the Schleswig-Holstein question by three Commissioners nominated for the purpose by Austria, Prussia, and Denmark; as proposed." The reply of the Statthalterschaft of Kiel to the summons of Count TERM, in the name of the Diet, to suspend hostilities against the Danish army in Schles wig, to reduce the insurrectionary army one-third, and to retire south of the Eider, denies the right of the Ministers assembled at Frankfort to issue orders in the name of Germany, and refuses obedience. The following is a translation of th 3 text of the summons issued by the Frankfort Diet " EXTRACT FROM THE PROTOCOL OF THE 11TH SITTING OF THE DIET D,NE AT FRANKFORT ON THE 2STH OCTOBER.-CLAUSE 33. HOLSTEIN. " 1. Immediately after the exchange of th© ratifica tions of the peace of the 2d of July, 1850, to intimate to the Statthalterschaft at Kiel, as the actually existing authority in Holstein, their decided determination not to permit the continuation of hostilities, and strictly to enjoin the Statthalterschaft to take care that no attack shall be made; but that, on the contrary, the Holstein troops shall be withdrawn to the south or the Eider, and that leave of absence shall be given to at least two thirds of them. The President of the Band shall be requested to cause this intimation to be conveyed to the Statthalterschaft in the proper form. "2. To announce to the Danish Government the cer tain expectation that in accordance with the conditions of the peace of the 2d of July, 1850, which must be in terpreted in the manner described in the letter of the English Plenipotentiary of the 4th of July, no further military measures shall be taken by the Danish troops, and that in consequence of the reduction of the Holstein army a similar diminution will be made in the Danish army in the south of Schleswig. "3. To appoint a federal commission, and to this pur pose to request the Royal Hanoverian Government to nominate one of its superior officials capable of under taking these functions, and to cause him to proceed thither as speedily as possible in order to receive his full powers and instructions. "4. To instruct the sub-committee to prepare a draft of the necessary powers and instructions. " 5. To request the executive committee to communi cate its opinions as speedily as possible on the measures which may possibly become necessary. "Finally, "6. To request the Danish Pl en ip o t en ti ar y f or th e Duchies of Holstei▪ n and Lauenburg to acquaint his Government with these resolutions, and to draw its particular attention to the expectations expressed in paragraph 2." The bearer of thi▪ s summons was an Austrian officer ; it was accompanied by a letter from Count TauN President of the Diet. • . ITALY. The Sardinian Chambers were to meet on the sth. The people in the provinces are enthusiastic in their support of the Government in its resistance to the Papal usurpation. At a Secret Consistory, held at Rome on the Ist of November, the Porn delivered a long the dispute now pending between Sardiniaaddress on and the Holy See. After narrating the different circumstances connected with the difference, the address concludes as follows : "You are aware that there was lately sent to us by the Sub-Alpine Government oee of its principal digni taries, a person of consideration, charged to open nego tiations for the arrangement of ecclesiastical affairs with the Holy See. It was not in any way possible for us to receive him in order to enable him to remit to us, in the usual solemn manner, the leiters which testified to his mission. That envoy, in fact, whether when he was heard by us in his character of a private individual, or in the numerous conferences which he had with the Cardinal, our Pro-Secretary of State, on the law touch ing the immunities, neve r ceased to pretend that the lai c power, in promulgating that law, contrary to the enactments of the canons and against the faith of the conventions passed with the Apostolic See, had only used its right. Starting from that prin ciple, he endeavoured to throw the fault of all that had occurred on the clergy and the holy prelates, particularly on our venerable brother the Archbishop of Turin, then detained in a narrow prison on account of his constancy in fulfilling his duties as a pastor. H e complained bitterly of that most eminent prelate, as a man who cared little about public tranquillity, and he declared that the King's Government had principally charged him to ask us to transfer that pontiff to other functions outside the kingdom. That spares us the that tsifnogr carryingi trouble of entering into longer details relative to the at tempts which were to no purpose made between him and the abov e - ment i one d C ar dinal to find some mode o f ar ranging the matt er . The Government, however, was far from cluicntt;o full effect the last sen tences of the se cu l a r tribunals in the ecclesiastical cases, whether against the Archbishop of Turin or against the on the contrary, it cho se mom tits e Archbishop of Cagliari. "Furthermore, in what relates to the immunities of churches and clergy, we desire that all be aware that we have not in any manuer rejected the negotiations which were proposed to us two years ago by the Sub-Alpine Government, and that we do not refuse to modify the enactments of the canons concerning these same inarau nith s, due regard being paid to time and place; that i 3 to say, as much as will appear to us fitting in the Lord, and on condition that the Church in other respects shall enjoy a freer exercise of its rights. We have not, in fact, allowed to grog , cold in us the sentiments of pa ternal benevolence which the Roman Pontiffs, our pre decessors, have so often manifested to the illustrious House of Savoy, and consequently we are prompt to alleviate the positir.n of our brethren and chi!dren in that kingdom, following in that tile constant rule of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, always anxious, like a tender mother, to help her children when in anguish and tribulation, and to use her apostolic authority to cure the wounds of Israel, That authority, however, which was given us not to destroy, but to build up, we cannot resolve to employ unle3s when neces sary to prevent its being supposed that we in some mea sure, by our patience, our connivance, and our conces sions, approve of the things which, to our great regret, have been deliberated on, decreed, or carried out in that country, to the prejudice of the Church and in contempt of the holy canons, against solemn conventions, against the basis of any convention whatever, and in fine against the priests and princes of the Church, performing their pastoral duty in the government of consciences and the administration of the sacraments. God forbid, venera ble brethren, that we should ever desire to abuse our authority to the detriment of the Church and of the Catholic weal. Still more, supported by aid from above, we will apply, wish a persevering spirit, all our carp to ensure the utility of the Church as well as the defence and inviolability of its sacred rights. On that account we to-day lift up our apostolic voice to protest more and more against the matters which we have just spoken of, and against all those which, either on the continent or in the maritime countries subject to the Prince reigning in Turin, have been done or at tempted against the rights of the Church or to the pre judice of religion, and we energetically call on all per sons concerned to desist from every kind of vexation against the pastors of the Church and the ministers of religion, and to diligently repair the injuries which the sacred weal has there suffered. Mtanvvhile, let us not cease, venerable bretheren, to offer up to God our humble prayers and supplications, and to implore the most pious intercession of the Mother of God, the immaculate Vir gin, and of the most holy Apostles Peter and Paul, that He may deign to cover with his right hand that well beloved portion of the vine} and of the Lord, and to de fend it with His mighty arm." TERRIBLE COAL PIT EXPLOSION ONE HUNDRED LIVES LOST! FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Sunderland, Nov. 11, 1850. Intelligence has just reached this town of a terrible explosion at Houghton Pit, at Houghton-le-Spring, a few miles distant from this place, by which it is feared that upwards of 100 lives have been sacrificed. There were upwards or 150 workmen in the pit, and it is not known yet whether any of them have escaped the effects of the choke damp which follows the explo sion. You will be receiving further particulars by next post. The Houghton Pit belongs to Earl Durham. It was laid in and remained unworked for several years, but the working of it was resumed about two years ago. ARRIVAL OF CARDINAL WISEMAN IN LONDON.— The newly-appointed Romish Archbishop of Westminster ar rived in London from Ostend at half-past four this morning, by the South-Eastern Railway, and proceeded to his resi dence in Golden-square. The Cardinal left Liege on Sunday, but so late as Thursday last he had no intention of quitting that town for some days. Having, however, been urged by pressing communications from several members of the Ca tholic nobility and others in England, he determined upon an immediate return. The Cardinal's arrival at this moment was kept so profound a secret, and was so little anticipated, that when he reached town the house that is being fitted up for him was still in possession of the workmen, and was not in a state for his reception. Pending the decorations of his newly-appointed residence, the Cardinal will reside at St. George's Chapel. We are informed that the Cardinal was extremely surprised by the publication of the Premier's letter to the Bishop of Durham, having a few days prior to its ap pearance addressed a private communication from Vienna to Lord J. Russell, and having received no intimation of his Lordship's intended manifesto. GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.—A very crowded meet ing of members of the above society assembled yesterday evening to hear Captain Fitzroy's paper on the various pro jected routes between the Atlantic and pacific Oceans read, but its length and importance induced the chairman to divide it into two portions, the latter of which will be read at the next seance. Of course all discussion on the merits is deferred until the reading of the paper has been completed. THE PROPOSED PARR FOR FINSBURY.--LSSt week the Commissioners of Woods and Forests (who, by the last returns, have a cash bal ance i n h an d o f 171,3061. 11s. 3d.) completed the purchase of the Red House, Battersea, and have given directions f or B a tt ersea -p ar k to be proceeded with. They have also manifested a laudable interest in and concern for the healthful recreation of the 30,C00 inhabitants of the borough of Finsbury, comprising the squalid masses of Saffron-hill, St. Luke's, and Clerkenwell. The proposed park for Finsbury has occupied their serious attention • and the committee appoi n t e d a t th e aggrega t e meeting, held in Sadler's Wells Theatre, have resumed their labours. IRISH PEAT.—The vessel City of Limerick, from Dublin, has brought the large number of 172 packag es o f peat charcoal, as a portion of her cargo, of Irish produce; and the vessel Peluna, arrived on the same day from Cork, brought eleven bales and other packages of moss as part of her cargo, the produce of the Irish soil. Several other arri vals of peat charcoal, and also of moss, have taken place during the past few days from the sister country. MISS KAVANAGH'S " NATHALIE. A TALE."— There are a few subjects that afford more interesting study than a young and friendless female battling against the hos tility of the world, and the powerful manner in which the struggles and triumphs of the heroine of Miss Kavanagh's new and charming story, " Nathalie," are represented, must be acknowledged as one of the greatest efforts in imaginative narrative that the press has produced for some time. A work of such high character is of stare occurrence even in these days, so prolific in the literature of fiction, and it will doubtless excite a marked interest.—Evening Paper. The following memorandum is from the Com mittee of Mexican Bondholders :—" The Committee of Mexi can Bondholders have received advices from Mr. Falconnet, by the Dee, dated Vera Cruz, the 6th of October. He had arrived there on the 3d, would reach Mexico on the 10th of October, and writes that he has been informed that on re- ceiving the news of his appointment the Ministers resolved to postpone any resolution in regard to the foreign debt until be bad had communications with the Cabinet.' The Dee brings 30,000 dollars from Vera Cruz, but none from Tam pico, in consequence of not having been able to enter that port." Advicos from Smyrna have been received to the 21th of October. There was not much doing in opium; madders remainded tolerably well supported ; and the old crop of valonia being nearly exhausted, its place could only in a limited degree be supplied by the small parcels of the new which had just commenced arriving. The market con tinued supplied with figs, but they were principally of a me diocre quality. Some few transactions had taken place in wool Little alteration was noticeable in articles of colonial produce or in English and Swiss manfactures. The rate of exchange was 110 to 1101. LUCKY DREAm.—The pitmen of Belford Colliery, on proceeding one morning last week to their work, at a " sink-shaft,' found that the rope wrapped round the cylin der at the pit mouth had been cut nearly through, in more places than one. It is reported that the wife of one of the pitmen told her husband, on leaving for his work, to examine the rope, for she had dreamed during the night that the rope had been cut.-:-Arewcasile Journal. LORD MAYOR'S DAY AND DINNER.—The Ob server of Sunday, Nov. 10, gave five of their folio columns of the City dinner, and all matters connected therewith. The Observer of Sunday, Nov. 3, gave the fullest report (upwards of five of the Observer columns) of the Bishop of London's charge at St. Paul's, on the previous Saturday. The 'exten sive publication of the Observer commences on Sunday morn ings at four o'clock, in time for all the early railways. Mon day's edition best for the country and abroad, Monday afternoons at four o'clock, Price of the Observer, sixpence. Office, 170, Strand. The United Mexican Mining Company have re ceived dispatches by (the Dee steamer down to the 30th of September. According to these the workings of the mine of Rayas were looking exceedingly well, and the returns for the month had exceeded the outlay by 38,000 dolls. The mines of Aldana, Promontorio, and Jesus Maria continued to be worked with every prospect of final success. Two new mines had been taken on advantageous terms, situated on the same river as Jesus Maria, the sinking of the shafts in which being estimated at a cost of 150,000 dolls., no remittances could be forwarded for the present. ADMISSION OF SOLICITORS.—The Master of the Rolls has appointed. Thursday, November 21, at the Rolls' Court, Chancery-lane, at three o'clock in the afternoon, for swearing solicitors. Every person desirous of being sworn on the above day m us t l eave hi s common l aw a d mi ssion, or his certificate of practice for the current year, at the Secre tary's-office, Rolls'-yard, Chancery-lane, on or before Wed nesday, November 20. EXTENSION OF THE POPE'S BULL TO SCOTLAND. —We are able to apprise the public that the Papal brief for the erection of a territorial hierarchy in the south is about to be followed by a similar deed for the erection of a territorial hierarchy in the north. As England was divided into twelve dioceses, Scotland is to be partitioned into sever. Hitherto the Roman Catholic mission in Scotland has been arranged in three " districts." The eastern and western districts are each presided over by two vicars apostolic; the northern district bas but one. So rapid has been the increase of Roman Ca tholics in Scotland, that the number of their clergy has dou bled in twenty years. In 1830 they had 60 priests, in 1850 they have 120.—Courant. THE EXHIBITIO N OF 1851.—The building pro gresses steadily, the contractors still declaring that it will be completed by the Ist of January, and that the great transept arches will be raised to their ultimate position in about ten days. BELMONT-DOUSE BURNT.—This large mansion, at Portswood, near Southampton, was burnt to the ground on Saturday- night. It was built on what is called the Portswood estate, the property of George Jones, Esq., a gentleman of large property near Liverpool. Belmont-house was built several years ago, and was never inhabited. It contained large stores of grain and other farm produce when the fire took place. Amongst these stores the fire was first discovered, and is supposed to have originated in spontaneous combustion. A number of engines were soon on the spot, but not a drop of water could be found, and the fire was allowed to take its course. Some sappers and miners from the Ordnance map_ office entered the mansion while it was burning, and at tempted to save some of the produce, but they failed in effecting their purpose. It is not the quantity of the meat, but the cheer. fulness of the guests, which makes the feast.—Eliza Cook's Journal. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.--The following gentlemen having undergone the necessary examinations for the diploma were admitted members of the College at the Court of Examiners, on the Bth inst.:—Messrs. John Sykes, Mile-end-road; Charles Clarke M`Mullan, Belfast; Richard Heath, London; Paterson Allen, Walth am Abbey, Essex; Anthony Taylor Preston, Manchester; Thomas Aspinall, Over-Darwen, Lancashire ; Arthur Michael Button, Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk; Trevor Morris, Chepstow, Monmouth shire; Joseph Williams, Portloe, Cornwall; and Samuel Sloe Larcembe, Langport, Somerset. At the same meeting of the court Messrs. John Ward and Charles Sayer Hugo passed their examinations for naval surgeo ns; t h ese gentle men had previously been admitted members of the college, their diplomas bearing date respectively, May 8, 1846, and March 12, 1847. PRECOCIOUS MALICE.—A few days ago a child, nine years of age, was taken to the prison of Bourg (Ain) on the charge of having killed another child, his cousin, who was still younger. Some months ago, it seems, they had a quarrel on a bird-nesting expedition, and since then the little murderer saved up his money, sou by sou, until he was able to purchase a knife. With this knife he killed his cousin. Galignani. TIIE SHARE MARKETS. BRITISH RAILWAYS. Paid.
