A deputation from the parish of St. Andrew's, Holborn, waited on the Archbishop of Canterbury with an address on the same subject, to which the Archbishop returned the following an swer : "It is very gratifying to me to receive this address, which evinces so deep an interest iu that great cause which I shall always endeavour, so far as may be, to promote. Coming trop, so important a parish as that of St. Andrew's, Roll:urn, I cannot but regard it as en important addition to the testimony so generally borne by the country, in opposition to the recent act of Papal aggression. Perhaps we may be thankful that an oppor tunity has now effoi rd, though a -very unexpected op portunity, and one of which we cannotfielp thinking with out some degree of indigin.tion, of showing how greatly Mistaken those must be who have supposed—if there be any such—that the Protestant feeling of this country has in any degree diminished. It seemed to be neces sary that something of this description should have oc curred, in order that the feeling of the country might be drawn forth, and now that it has been elicited with so much strength and firmness, it may, perhapo, be almost more necessary to keep it within duo bounds, than to add to the existing excitement. But, at all events, those who are anxious to preserve the principles of the Reformation, as I am sure those who have the appointment of the holy office, like myself, must always feel it a very great assistance, when they meet with the co-operation of the clergy and laity of the country. It must be a matter ot regret that anything should have occurred in our Church which should have lA to the error to which I have alluded--!ile supposition that the Protes tant principles of this country rave in any degree de cliu d. I true', however, that it will now be seen, if it be not already se , jl, that those who gave rise to that opi nion form a very small minority, not only in our Church, hut in the country at large. I think, too, we may now see, that to which we have hitherto been blind, but to which we must never be blind in future, that the Church cf Rome is an aggressive church, and that she will never be satisfied without domination, so far as it can be obtained. The surest method by which we can oppose such aggression and preserve ourselves free from such domination is to diffuse as widely as possible those truths on which our Protestant Church is founded, resting as they do upon the pure Word of God, without human addition or adulteration. In conclusion, I must repest my gratification at this instance of confidence which you have shown in me by the presentation of this - address There is no reason why as Metropolitan I should not accept it, and with God's grace I shall always be willing to promote as far as possible the principles which it enunciates."

Mr. BARROW applied to the Court for a rule calling upon the South-Eastern Railway Company_ why they should not complete certain work s on the orth Kent line, which the Act sanctioning the railway required. The works said to have been neglected belonged to the New-cross station at Deptford and the bridge at Lewis ham, where, according to Sir James Macadam, the sur veyor of the New cross roads, the company had failed to erect screen walls and drain the roads in the manner provicied by the Act of Parliament, and the consequence was the traffic of the roads could only be carried on at the risk of accidents. —Application granted. . QUEEN V JONES. Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR moved for a rule nisi, calling upon the Recorder of Sandwich to show cause why a mandamus should not issue, requiring him to re-enter and hear an appeal. The defendant had been committed to prison for two months, under 5 George IV., chap. 83, as a rogue and vagabond, having been found at Rams gate on board the Little Western steamer without being able to give a proper account of himself, or to show that he had any lawful and visible means of living. The de fendant appealed against the decision of the magistrates who heard the case, and he was liberated on bail, but at the Quarter Sessions Mr. Benson, the Recorder, re fused to hear the appeal on the ground that the notice of appeal was informal and insufficient, and the defend ant was remitted to prison. The objection to the notice was purely of a technical character, the notice having been signed on behalf of the prisoner's attorney per procuration. It was signed in this way "Henry De Madena per John Bl:rnatd, attorney for the said John Jones," and it was contended that the inference to be drawn from this was that Madena was the cppellant and Bernard his attorney. A second objection taken to the notice was that it did not disclose a sufficient ground of appeal, inasmuch as it simply alleged that the commit ment was made) not only upon insufficient testimony but absolutely against testimony. Mr. Justice PATTESON thought that ground of appeal •,sae the strongest that could possibly be taken. Mr. SEYMOUR said the last objection taken to the no tice was that it was directed to "a magistrate for the county of Kent" instead of " a magistrate for the Cinque Ports." The Learned Counsel did not deny that the notice was to some extent informal, but the magistrate having acted upon it and discharged the prisoner on bail, these technical objections ought not to prevail.

MAJOR MORAY STIFLING.--Died, at Abercairny Abbey, on the 9th instant, Major William Moray Stirling, of Abercairny, the representative of one of our most ancient Perthshire families. Major Stirling spent the early and greater part of his life in military service. With the 13th Dragoons he saw much of the Peninsular war, and was aide de-camp to Major-General Sir C. Grant, at the battle of Waterloo, where he was severely wounded. He retired upon his succession to his maternal inheritance of Ardoch, and was shortly afterwards married to a daughter of Lord Doug las of Bothwell Castle, but had no family. Upon the death of his elder brother in 1842 without issue, he succeeded to the extensive estates of Abercairny, which extend from the foot of the Ochills to the Grampians, and embrace a numerous and highly pspectable tenantry, to whom the deceased was a kind and indulgent landlord. Major Moray Stirling was a decided Conservative in politics, but was esteemed by men of all parties for his personal character. He was chairman of the Conservative committee during the two last contested elections for the count y . The Abercairny property was lately disentailed, and, we believe, has been bequeathed to Charles Drummond, Esq., the second son of Henry Home Drummond, Esq., of Blair-Drummond. our county Member, and brother-in-law of the deceased.—Perth Courier. A Jaw ELECTED AS ALDEEMAN.—BRISTOL, Nov. 12.-1 am pleased to inform you that our much-respected co-religionist, W. W. Alexander, Esq., of Berkeley-square, of this city, has been chosen as alderman. He was proposed by the Conservative party, and elected stem. con.

FOREIGN APPLES.—The vessel Harrier, arrived from Ostend, has brought the very large quantity of 8,400 bushels of apples com prising the entire cargo , the p roduce of Belgium. The importations of apples now taking place from Jersey are of an ex t e nsive nature, and also from t he United States of America. A CLEVER STARLING.--MT. Rothwell, of South H - port, is one of the b est ornithologists in the country. e had been reading in Sterne about the starling, and was de termined to make the experiment of training one. Ac cordingly, having procured a young starling, he taught it to whistle " Rory O'More" quite through, and to repeat its own name, "Poor Jacob." fter a w hile, it would sy, " Poor Jacob, give us Rory," and then it would repeat u its favourite tune. Beingonce attacked by some boys, it flew aw ay from home, its master, by coaxing, and calling " Poor Jacob," made it return, although it had reached the shore. It was sold for thirty shillings; but its master has never been able to teach other starlings (or " shepsterds," as they are called in Lancashire) with the same success as " Poor Jacob."—Preston Courier. [While we are quite pre pared to give every credit to the wonderful starling of our Preston contemporary, we would respectfully inform him that "Poor Jacob" is but an insignificant performer, com pared with the favourite starling of Mr. James M`Birnie, of Cowcaddens-street, Glasgow. This bird, we may mention, is named " Richard," but he whistles with the utmost preci sion every note of the tune " The Hills o' Glenorchy" quite through. He then repeats, " That's the Hills o' Glenorchy— that's a tune for the ladies— a small gill of the best here— quick, quick ; make haste !—Richard's pretty, pretty cock bird—a coach and six for pretty Richard—Richard's the boy f o r kissing the lasses ;" and then, " Now for the Hills o' Glenorchy.' Mr. M'Birnie's bird is valued at fifty guineas, which sum his owner has more than once refused for him, and he is a-great favourite in the quarter.— Glasgow Chronicle. THE ALL SOULS COLLEGE FELLOWSHIPS AT OR FORD.— We are requested by a correspondent to state that, since the election at All Souls College, the warden and fel lows of the college have addressed a stro9g letter to the Rev.

" May it please your Majesty,—.We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, yielding to none in senti ments of firm and unflinching attachment to your Ma jesty's sacred Oleo and person, under whose untli+puted rube and governance we, and all our fellow-subjects, enjoy, by the blessing of God, not only civil liberty, but freedom of conscience to serve. God in spirit and in truth, desire to express to your Majesty the indignation and apprehension with which we regard the recent at tempt of the See of Remo to insinuate.its intolerant and bigotted power into this our happy Protestant country. " We feel indignant at the presumption of the Papal See in again endeavouring to establish its hierarchy in England, thereby most unjustifiabiy infringing your Majesty's lorg-established prerogative ; and in daring to apportion out into new, dioceses your Majesty's dominions, from which it cost our fore!athers so much to remove its control ; while the very attempt fills us with just apprehension, inasmuch as it proves how little that self-sty led Catholic Church comprehends the nature of that toleration which we know it never has, and be lieve it never will practice. " We . bog to assure your Majesty that we are firmly determined to uphold the spirit of that Constitution under which this country has enjoyed the mild sway of a long line of Protestant Sovereigns, and the free privi lege of a pure, biolical, apostolical worship; and we most humbly entreat your Majesty to adopt such measures; with the advice of your Council, as may, under the Di vine blessing, at once, and effectually, prevent the and his delegates—an usurpation with. threatene d usurpation of power in this land by the Bouisthpoapra6lflelß;oealveen in , Roman Catholic countries, since the days of the Reformation. " In conclusion, We, pray Almighty God that He may be graciously pleased to continue to this hitherto favoured country the blessing of our Reformed Religion, in true Protestant purity and holiness, 'and to vouchsafe to your Majesty a long and peaceful reign over a grate ful and united Christian people.

RlES.—Martin Maguire, theTranii‘rTnE l plic:LteAcira E °Il 10 1 4 1 l with E Sirrell and Macauley in the late extensive plate robberies, and who had been remanded from the previous week on the charge of having had posses sion of a gold watch stolen from Halifax, was again brought up yesterday. Mr. Rushton informed Mr. Simon, the bar rister, who appeared for the prisoner, that he purposed trans ferring Maguire to the magistrates at Halifax, as he did not think it right that Liverpool should be burthened with the prosecution of cases alleged to have been committed in another county; therefore, if the police had no charge against the prisoner connected with the borough of Liver pool, he should at once transfer him, as he had already stated. Mr. Clough, chief-superintendent of police, stated that, on the Vkrednesday previous, a young man brought to him a pawn ticket for a gold watch then In pledge, and stated that it had been purchased front - Maguire. It. was found, on the watch being taken from the custody of the pawnbroker, that the maker's name and number had been erased, but on submitting it to Mr. Quillam, of Elliot-street, that gentleman said he was the maker of it, and it had been supplied to Mr. Yates, of Preston, and on applying to Mr. Yates, that gentlemen had informed him that the watch had been sold to a fnm in Birmingham. This was all that at present was known of the case. It was ordered that the prisoner should at once be sent to Halifax. At the close of the care Mr. Simon appealed t o the court that some money taken from the prisoner, and held by the police, should be given up for the purpose of the defence. Mr. Rushton de clined to comply with the request made, on the ground that the money found upon the prisoner may be the prGduce of the sale of stolen watches sold by him. COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—RISEN, FRIDAY MORN• ING.—An accident of a fatal kind occurred here this morn ing to the colliers employed iu the Black Rock 'lean Pit, at which it will be remembered an explosion took place sonic four or five years ago, which was attenced by the loss of nearly forty lives. About half-past six o'clock this morning, and very seen after the workmen had entered the pit, an explosion of fire-damp took place, by which three unfortu nate fellows, two of them youths of about eighteen years of age, were killed on the spot, and eight or ten others were most severely, and some of them it is feared fatally, burnt. A messenger has been dispatched for the county coroner, with a view to the institution of a most rigid inquiry into the cause of the accident. His Grace the Duke of Rutland is staying at the Palace, Newmarket, surrounded by a party of relatives and friends. We are happy to say his Grace is enjoying excel lent health.

" Fulham, Nov. 11, 1850. Rev. Sir,—When I spoke of auricular confession being used as a means of grace, I supposed that every one would understand me to mean the PENNINGTON.—It Roman practice, and not that which is recognised as useful and salutary by our own Church am, Rev. Sir, your faith ful servant, C. J. LOND ON. JAMESgl‘nieltd.ret3rgrEe°t,itaGregretin which we are sure all who knew the truly amiable nature of his character will join, that we yesterday .announced the sudden decease, and by his own hand, of this gentleman.

Mr. U. J.

TILE DRAWING-ROOM SCRAP-BOOK FOR 1851._ Under the able auspices of Charles Mackay, the "Drawing- Room Scrap Book" for 1851 is equal to the most elegant and valuable of its elegant and valuable predecea,ors. Its attractions are threefold. In the first place, we admire its appearance—its richly adorned binding and the beauty of its type, paper, and various et ceteras rendering it eminently deserving of a place on the table of the most exclusive salon or boudoir ; secondly, the excellence of its thirty- six beautiful engravings ; and last, but not least, the merit of its poetical contents, combine to render it charming to the eye and agreeable to the memory. Some of the engravings we have noticed before under other names, but they are all worthy of reprinting, and thus grouped together they form a beautiful and valuable collection. As an evidence of the excellence and variety of the engrav ings we need only particularise the names of some of the subjects and their artists. There ai's portraits by Lawrence and Chalon, scenes by Cerbouid, Cat termole and Prirri, a charming glimpse of a "quarrel' by Stcplianoff, charmingly illwrrstril in verse by Mackay ; a portrait. of Sir John by Derby ; " Chinese Kite-living," and some other by Allem ; "A Chinese Lady," by Penstone—a beau tiful face, most delicately portrayed ; these and other engravings v:orthy of accompanying them, render the " D.avving-Roan Scrap Book" worthy of its reputa tion. Portraits of female loveliness are the chief features of the collection ; for the editor, in his pre face, while commending the volume to the patronage of the ladies, declares himself, in the words of Chaucer, " Their oven Knight, That serveth them with will and herte and Might, And ever hath done since they first him knew." A few contributors have lightened the labours of the editor. Mrs. Thomas has described in graceful verses "The Tryste" and the "Jewels." Le Chevalier de Chatelain has celebrated (in French) "La Poesie" and " English Beauty." The author of The Patri cian's Daughter has addressed some stanzas to his baby god-daughter, which are very beautiful—wit ness the concluding lines : " Who takes his tint from outward fate. Is to his fate beholden; Who his own sunshine can create, Makes all he meets with, golden. Be this the record of thy name— Due to the loving-hearted— She found a blessing where she came, Or left one where she parted." Thomas Miller has recounted in blank verse the story of " linger and Ishmael." " The Letter to a Chinese Lady," by Shirly Brooks, is capital. The writer—if by return of the overland mail, he is only informed that" Yin Chang is willing"—is prepared to abandon friends and country, and repair to the Celestial Em pire and become for her sake a Chinaman— " On pickled ducks supporting life, And scollop'd slugs in rich farina, I'll let my bright-eyed, limping wife, And talk whole hours in broken China.' " The whole epistle, however, should be read in order to be appreciated. Dr. Mackay's contributions are necessarily on very various subjects, and he mentions in the introduction the difficulty of writing the poems to suit the pictures, a difficulty which has apparently been no impediment to his muse. Among the more serious pieces are the lines on the "Portraits of Sir Robert and Lady Peel," and on the " Expedition in Search of Sir John Franklin ;" among the lighter and gayer themes are some graceful verses on a happy thought—" Borrowings and Returnings." " Chinese Kite-flying," a scene that would have delighted Mr. Dick, has suggested some delightful stanzas on " The Philosophy of Sport," in every line of which we recognize the genial tones of Charles Mackay. The moral of the verses is summed up in two golden " I honour human happiness, And deem it gratitude." In pursuance of which thought, be exclaims— " I love to see a man forget His blood is growing cold, And kap, or swim, or gather flowers, Oblivious of his gold; And mix with children in their sport, Nor think that he is old." Of a style similarly cheering are the lines on " Happy Days" : "Come .back—oh! freshness of the past, When every face seemed fair and kind, When sunward every eye was cast, And all the shadows fell behind. . Come back!—'twill come:—true hearts can turn Their own Decembers into Maya, The secret be it ours to learn — They come—they come—the happy days." Of a different character is a beautiful vision of Notre Dame, " The Phantoms of the Greve." Musing at midnight in Paris, the poet sees before him a vflion of Liberty, and then a melancholy concourse, of the victims of the 11,:ign of Terror : " Next passed fair Roland's pure and haughty shade, Twit-sister of the freedom she adored, Wits the calm spectre of that earnest maid Who slew the cynic that her soul abhoue • d." * * * * " And then emerging front the silvery Seine, . With dripping garments, trailing wet, passed by The drown 'd of Nantes—Lhe haplet.s women tlaiu By vengeful and inhuman anarchy." When all the phantoms are assembled and " Paris seemed a city of the dead," the spectre Goddess of Liberty vindicates herself from the crime of having caused so much death and desolation— .' The heavy guilt lies not upon my head— They knew me not, the men of other years. 'Twas Tyranny they worshipped and not me; 'Twas Ignorance inspired the deeds you mourn. For love is still the law of liberty, And hatred dwells with anarchy alone." So many and so varied are the attractions of this ele gant work, that instead of attempting to particularise them all, we may say that the " Drawing-Room Scrap-Book," edited by Dr. Mackay, fully sustains its own reputation and its editor's claims to popu larity ; and to those who are familiar—as who is not ? —with the earnest and eloquent " Voices from the Crowd," such an assertion will be deemed no mean encomium. THE HISTORY OF PENDENNIS. No. XXII. By TV. M. Thackeray. In the present number the author is busily em ployed in clearing the stage preparatory to the de nouement. Pendennis is, for the first time, aware o 1 the proceedings of his uncle in relation to the Cla verings, and, horrified at the idea of being considered as particeps criminis, determines to refuse Clavering's seat in Parliament, and to marry Blanche without a farthing, although he now knows she is a con vict's daughter. To this resolution he is urged by Laura ; he announces it to his uncle, and the poor old worldly Major is so shocked at what he considers the madness of the proceeding that he takes to his bed. This part is full of those admirable specimens of cha racter-painting for which Mr. Thackeray stands un rivalled. The following description of the situation 01 a Dandy of the Regency in this year of grace, 1850, is worthy of La Bruyere : " As became a man of fashion, Major Pendennis spent the autumn passing from house to house of such country friends as were at home to receive him, and if the Duke happened to be abroad, or the Marquis in Scotland, con descending to sojourn with Sir John or the plain Squire. To say the truth, the old gentleman's reputation was somewhat on the wane—many of the men of his time had died out, and the occupants of their halls and the present wearers of their titles knew not Major Pendennis, find little cared for his traditions •of the wild Prince and Poyns,' and of the heroes of fashion passed away. It must have struck the good man with melancholy as he walked by many a London door, to think how seldom it was now opened for him, and how often he used to knock at it— to what banquets and welcome he used to pass through it—a score of years back. He began to own that he was no longer of the present age, and dimly to apprehend that the young men la u g hed at him. Such melancholy musings must come across many a Pall-mall philosopher. The men, thinks he, are not such as they used to be in his time: the old grand manner and courtly grace of i life are gone: what s Castlewood House and the present Castlewood, compared to the magnificence of the old mansion and owner? The late Lord came to London with . four postohaises and sixteen horses; all the north road hurried out to look at his cavalcade; the people in London streets even stopped as his precession passed them. The present Lord travels with five bagmen in a railway carriage, and sneaks away from the station, smoking a cigar in a Brougham. The late Lord in au tumn filled Castlewood with company, who drank claret till midnight: the present man buries himself in a hut on a Scotch mountain, and passes November in two or three closets in an eatresol at Paris, where his amuse ments are a dinner at a ca'e and a box at a little theatre. What a contrast there is between his Lady Lorraine, the Regent's Lady Lorraine, and her little Ladyship of the present era! He figures to himself the first, beautiful, gorgeous, magnificent in diamonds and velvets, daring in rouge, the wits of the world (the old wits, the old polished gentlemen — not the canaille of to-day with their language of the cab-stand, and their coats smelling of smoke) bowing at her feet; and then thinks . of to-day's Lady Lorraine — a little woman in a black silk gown, late a governess, who talks astronomy, and labouring classes, and emigration, and the deuce knows what, and lurks to church at eight o'clock in the morning. Abbots-Lor raine, that used to be the noblest house in the county, is turned into a monastery—a regular La Trappe. They don't drink two glasses of wine after dinner, and every other man at table is a country curate, with a white nec kcloth, whose talk is about Polly Higson's progress at school, or Widow Watkins's lumbago. And the other young men, those lounging guardsmen and great lazy dandies—sprawling over sofas and billiard-tables, and stealing off to smoke pipes in each other's bed rooms, caring for nothing, reverencing nothing, not even for an old gentleman who has known their fathers and their betters, not even a pretty woman—what a differenca there is between these men who poison the very turnips and stubble-fields with their tobacco, and the gentlemen of' our time!' thinks the Major; the breed is gone—there's no use for 'ern; they're . replaced by a parcel of damned cotton - spinn ers !md_ u . tditarians , and young sprigs of ir parsons with thew hBl combed down their backs'." - - ... - A id all' fie g rios".

The engines having been set to work, the parish engineer and firemen succeeded in extinguishing the flames, when on en tering the basement they found sufficient to account for cella the absence of all parties connected with the building. The r they discovered to be fitted up as a distillery, with a number of casks, wash,tand spirits in the place. The furn been under the still was alight. The still, furnaces , and plant have seized by the officers of Excise and removed to Old Broad street. Shortly before two o'clock the same morning a lire happened on the premises of Mr. Hanninger, No. 15, Orange street, Lomand's Pond, Bouthwark. The firemen on entering the premises found the bed and furniture in the back room ground-floor in a blaze, and in the midst a naked body of a female also much charred. It was learned that a female named Campbell died the preceding afternoon, and her body was laid out on the bed. From what cause the room became fired is a mystery. No MEssmarf ALLOWED IN THE NAVY.—The Admiralty have at length determined to allow no person to be entered on board her Majesty's ships, or to be employed in the service as a " messman, whether in the gun-room or the ward-room mess, their Lordships having fully satisfied themselves that most of the extravagance, and nearly all the intemperance, with their concomitants—ruin, disgrace, degradation, and loss of position in the service and society, are attributable to the practice of the gun-room mess of large ships appointing a regular " Messman," from whom any quantity of spirits or wine can be procured by . paying for it.
