TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—On Friday the 71h, the Secretary for the Home Department, Sir George Grey, announced the alterations which are to bg made in the Papal Aggres sion Bill. There is a shocking story among the en tomologists, of an unhappy locust that lived and stirred six months after its bowels were taken nut. This may be taken as descriptive of the situation of the Bill. The second, third, and fcurth Clauses are to be taken out, and nothing left but the prohibition of assuming Titles, which has been so often declared to be nugatory and useless. The fact is, the Pope and his French supporters have conquered. Their great regret must be, that instead of a Cardinal's hat they did not send you a M trechal's baton. If they had, there w ould have been just the same impossibility of getti:ig up a prompt and effective resistance. Setting asint.' the Catholics as matter of course, there would have heel: the same parties to cry out for "proceeding to the business of the country," and the same astonishment and regret that any friend of civil and religious liberty should be found doubting the right of all men to be tree and equal in Dover Castle. Like the King of Wirtemburg, I may individually console myself with not being extensively interested iu the results. But you that have more chances of witnessing the end, may live to see what will make you remember what was said to you. A painful circumstance connected with the present aspect of affairs, is the total nullity of any influence ' tif the Working Classes. They either do not inter fere at all, or if they do, they follow those who bid them run their heads into the fire. For example, it is made an open boast, that on the question of Papal Ag gression the Working Classes have shown no feeling. What does this amount to, but that the consciousness the Working Classes once had of interest upon the subject is worn out, mainly, it is true, through the absence of personal suffering or provocation ; and that the historical and political knowledge which would tell them that the leading object of the Papal power has always been to reduce the numerous and industrious classes to the condition in which they are found in Naples, Portugal, or Spain, is a sealed book to them, which they have never read, or if read have never weighed? On another subject, the Income Tax, they show an equal lack of ability to know their interest and sup port it. When Lord Stanley 'proposed to lay a tax on foreign corn as the means of removing the In come Tax,—in other words, to stop your mills at Bradford and apply the money raised in consequence to relieving the rich from the fraction of the general taxation in which they pay op something like an equitable scale,—there can be no doubt that he calculated on support among the Working Classes, and that many of them would be prepared to give it. That the Working Classes on a large proportion of the taxation pay at higher rates going as far as eleven times the rate upon the rich, does not make them proof against the shallowest of outcries by which the rich endeavour to throw from their shoulders the fraction on which they pay with some thing like fairness. All this is not consolatory to the real friends of the Working Classes. There must be more Reading Rooms and Mechanics' Institutes, before the Work ing Classes know their interests and can support them. At the present moment, any " shoy-hoy, as the author of the Political Register used to say,— any cry got up, of all men's equal right to roast us in Smithfield when a foreign power tells them, or of the sufferings of the rich from not paying at an eleventh of the rate on all the taxes as they do on some, will lead them to sit still in their localities, and let the vessel drift the way that chance may dictate. I remain, Sir, yours very sincerely AN OLD REFORMER. London, 10 March, 1851. THE EXHIBITION. PAINTING THE 6TRUCTITRE.—Messrs. Fox and Hen derson have bound themselves by contract to complete within a fortnight the whole internal painting, of which not an eighth part has yet been finished. To do this they will put on 500 painters, or 1,000 it necessary; and with them they will, at one dash, make a clean sweep of the building. SEASON TICKETS.—The Council of the Society of Arts have just issued a circular to the members of the society, urging upon them the advantage of purchasing season tickets for the Exhibition at the tariff charges settled for the first issue, as it is probable that the power reserved of raising the prices after the first issue has been exhausted will be exercised by the Commis sioners. Up to Saturday night 5,200 were sold. These tickets are not transferable; and to insure this, every holder of a season ticket, until they become personally known to the officers, will be required to sign their names in a visitor's book every time they use it. SPORTING NOTES. No. XVII. DERBY, MIINTHORPE, AND SLOUGH STEEPLE CHASES. TO THE EDIIOII 01 7 THE SUN. Sing—The present week is replete with sport, to-morrow ' we have the Uerby and Milnthorpe, on Wednesday the Slough, and on Thursday the Burtbrd and Doncaster Steeple chases; and likewise on Thursday and Friday the Doncaster Flat-races. With the exception of Burford, I intend to touch upon them all ; to begin with Derby—out of sixteen entries for the Midland Steeplechase, eleven have accepted, in cluding Vain Hope, i Ist 71b; The Victim, 1 Ist 51b; British Yeoman, lOst 171 b ; Abd-el-liadcr, lOst 1 Ilb ; Ben . Lomond, 1 Ost 51b; Miss Collingwood, lOst 51b; Trust me-Not, lOst 31b; Tipperary Boy, lOst 21b; and Volatile, Bst 81b. From the above I shall strike out Vain Hope as rot likely to win whether he runs or not, The Victim for having exactly his penalty (51b) for the Coventry Steeplecha-e, too much on his back, and Abd-el-Kader as a dubious runner, considering how close this meeting is to that at Doncaster. I fancy the race will lay among the follow ing four: -- The British Yeoman, Tipperary Boy, Miss Col lingwood, and Trust-me-Not, and were I certain that the first-named would run, I should have but little hesitation in placing them thus : THE BRITISH YEOMAN ............ 1 TIPPERARY BOY . 2 MISS COLLINGW OOD TRUST-ME-NOT 4 Should the Yeoman not go for the main, the race will be between the Boy and the Miss, and a very close affair it will be, the former probably just nicting it; "the money" says the latter. The Hurdle Race, one mile and a half (rather short), will furnish a good race between Cogia, Lucy, and May-day, and although it is said to be a certainty for Cogia, it would not surprise me to see one of the other two the winner ; it is said that the Swift, Matilda, Loddington, and the Slug will also run. The Milntborpe Steeplecluse will have some six or seven runners, among whom liaac, Ilst 101 b, Falcon, 10At 71b, and Valiant, lOst 71b, will figure 'conspicuously, and I think it just possible they will catch the judge's eye in the order I have placed them. This is the only race of any importance at Milnthorpe. _ _ On Wednesday we have the Slough Steeplechase of 5 sous. each, with 40 added; for this race, as for the last, I imagine it will be between a trio, Kilkenny lOst 101 b, Rendsburgh lOst 71b, and Volatile 9st 10lb ; but as Volatile's running is not at all certain, he being engaged at Derby to-morrow, I must set his chance aside ; but should he run, he wins! In his absence I shall place Kilkenny first, and Rendsburgh second. The Doncaster events I shall touch upon to-morrow; in the meanwhile I may as well observe, that Peter Simple, if run to win, would be my fancy for the Steeplechase, but as the money declares this to be dubious, I must anchor my hopes on Maria Day and Abd-el-Kader, the former for choice. the curse of the ensuing fortnight or three wetlis I before you my annaal observations on the metrJ politan " SPORTING I1013:SRS," which met with such general approval last year, noting down these " lists" which are, as far a human juegionent can discern, tf the substantial and most stable kind, and adding thereto such memoranda con cerning them as I may deem worth recordi ng .

AMERICAN NEWS. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY, MARCH 9. By the royal mail steam-ship Africe, Captain Ririe, which arrived in the Mersey shortly after eleven o'clock this morning, we have advices from New York to the 2Gth ult. She brings nine-four passengers and upwards of 40,0001. in specie on freight. The Africa arrived at New York on the 15th ult., the Cambria on the_ 20th ult., and the United States mail steamer Baltic on the 20th ult. _ .

President Fillmore, in consequence of the disturb ance, had issued a proclamation, calling upon all well-disposed citizens, and requiring the military to assist in enforcing the law. market, for cod fish, have been fully borne out by the results of the last fortnight's transactions—the price of the article has fallen to 103. per 100 lbs. for best cask, and 143. per b-x—and even at these rates sales are with difficulty efl'ect•d. I❑ one instance, 9s. 3d. for cask and 13 per b - x was accepted for a cargo of rather inferior quality. The stock is still considerably in excess of the demand; while the sales by auction of unsound parcels interfere to a great degree with the legitimate business. We have to notice a further decline in the value of fliur and meal, consequent on the heavy stocks on band, and the very trifling demand from the trade. Both these articles also suffer from the abundance of native vegetables. Exchanges—On New York: Merchants' bills 60 days, 2. per cent. prem.

This first volume, which contains the comedies of the im mortal dramatist, being thus brought to a conclusion, at the very moment of Mr. Macready's retirement from the stage, is very appropriately dedicated by Mr. Knight to his fellow• la bourer " in the honest endeavour to diffuse more widely a more intimate knowledge, and with that a deeper love of our great poet's works." —Half-Hours with the Best Authors presents us this month with Crahhe's beautiful poem " Ycs, there are real mourners"—with a glimpse of " Sancho P.inza"—with some artistic observations by Sir Joshua Reynolds—with Sir Philip Sydney's defence of poesy—with extracts from Bulwer, and Boccaccio, and Humboldt, and Ben Jonson and many, and equally various, others ; nor must we omit to particularize " The Duel," that most beau tiful and truly pathetic account of the death of poor Lord Frederick Verisopht, so familiar to all the readers of " Nicholas Nickleby." Full of cordial and delightful eulogium are the introductory remarks to this extract—to leave out the name of Charles Dickens in a collection from the works of the beat authors, says Mr. Knight, " would be skin to the famous omission in the Roman procession."—The Pictorial Half-Hours, the Cyclopedia of Industry, the Cyclopedia of London, and Knight's Excursion Companion, are all in their several ways excellent, and admirably well adapted to supply fitting infor mation to the stranger in London or the excursionist in the country. GENTLEMAN'S. The opening ^ paper of this number, on the present state of English Historical Literature, ex poses the management of the State Paper-office as one of such carelessness as regards the custody of im portant historical documents, and such obstructive ness to the efforts of those who have to consult them, as to call imperatively for immediate interference ; we trust that the attention of Parliament will be directed to this important subject. Mr. Peter Cunningham continues the interesting story of Nell Gwyn ; it is brought down in the present instalment to the period when Nelly quitted the stage. We have also some newly discovered poems by Bishop Hall, and an ad mirable article on Socrates, besides several valuable notices of recently published works and papers on several antiquarian and genealogical subjects. DOUGLAS JERROLD'S WORKS. The number of this month contains another in• stalment of " St. Giles's and St. James's." CHRISTOPHER TADPOLE. By Albert Smith. Another instalment of the reprint of this popular tale has appeared this month. MISCELLANEOUS. Every month in noticing Ainsworth's we have to particularise as its most excellent portions the bold colouring and romantic design of the "Lancashire Witches" and the practical good sense which charac terises the sketches of E. P. Rowsell.—The Sports man this month has a capital illustration—. The Bay Beat !" The beaten horse is still straining every nerve, but the desperation visible in its eye tells that it is conscious its efforts are hopeless. Among the literary contents of the Sportsman is an article by Harry Hieover on those all-important qua lifications " Tact and Taste."—The Farmer's Ma gazine, in addition to various original papers, gives the article " On the Progress of Agricultural Know ledge during the last Eight Years,' by Mr. Piney, illustrated by Professor Dove's chart, which appeared in the Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society.— The London Journal of inventions, as usual, abounds ' in admirably well executed engravings of new patent inventions.—Among the religious periodicals, the Church of England Magazine preserves its usual lesturt.s ; the Rambler contains some well written articles, one in reference to Lord John Rus sell's Bill, is entitled " How shall we meet the Pro testant Aggression ?" A little brochure, called " A Monthly Packet of Evening Readings for Younger Members of the English Church, is likely to prove both interesting and useful for young readers. It contains fictitious tales, and religious instruction written in a simple and attractive manner.—The series of Penny Maps is continued in undiminished Ex cellence.—The Belle Assemblee ' under the judicious management of Mrs. Newton Crosland, presents us with a variety of pleasing tales and thoughtful criti cisms. In this number is an excellent article from the pen of the editress.—Lc Follet continues to preserve its place as the most graceful exponent of fashion. —Mrs. Ellis's Morning Call is chiefly rendered inte resting by the story of the Editress, " Self-deception ; or, the History of a Human Heart." Some portions of this tale are beautifully written. A sketch on " Interesting People" in this number is worth reading. —Chambers's Journal continues to maintain its high character, and a selection of excellent articles under the bead of Chambers's Papers for the People, neatly bound, which from time to time makes its ap pearance, increases the already weighty claims of the Messrs. Chambers on the gratitude of the reading public.—The People's Journal gives us an agreeable variety of prose and poetry.—The Colonial Magazine contains an interesting article on "The Present Sys tem of British Emigration."—The Naturalist, a monthly magazine illustrative of the animal, vege table, and mineral kingdoms, has this month made its first appearance. ROYAL MARINES.-PLYMOUTH, MARCH 8.—C01.- Commandant William Fergusson has, at his own request, much to the regret of all ranks, retired, on the full pay list, from the command of this division, after a service of up wards of half a century. His commission as a second lieute nant is dated Sept. 10, 1798; from which time up to 1829 he engaged in several severe actions, and received many dan gerous wounds. He was at the capture of Admiral T'errie's squadron from Egypt, when in the pursuit of the French and Spanish fleet, in 1799; was at the blockade of Molta, when the Genereux and part of her convoy was captured; in the Queen Charlotte, when burnt off Leghorn ; and remained three hours in the water, eighteen miles from the mainland, and received a severe wound in his breast from part of the wreck. In the numerous engagements in which he subse quently took part he had many hair-breadth escapes, and was instrumental on more than one occasion in turning the tide of fortune in favour of his own service. He was pro moted to the rank of first lieutenant on the 29th of April, 1804; captain, 23d of February, 1814; brevet-major, 10th of January, 1837 ; lieutenant-colonel, 10th of July, 1837 ; co lonel, second commandant, 9th of November, 1816; colonel commandant, 3d of April, 1849. He retires from the divi sion with the good wishes of all who have been in any way connoted with him. CUSTOM'S FACILITIES IN SOUTHWARK.— There has been for some time past a movement on the part of the wharfingers and others interested in the trade of the south side of the Thames, with a view to obtain from the Govern ment increased customs facilities in regard to the landing and warehousing of goods. We have the satisfaction of stating that, in reply to the memorials of the merchants on the subject, the Government has consented to restore to these wharfs the privileges of landing and warehousing foreign goods, with but one tr two exceptions. - .LHE ARMY AND NAVY CLUE HOUSE.—The Car case or shell of the building cost 18,5001. (Mr. Trego con tractor); the interior cost 16,5001. (Messrs. Smith and Appleford contractors); in all 35,0001. exclusive of the fit tings. The comparatively small plot of land on which it stands has cost the club 52,000/., and the total expenditure may be called, in round numbers, 100,000/ —Builder. IRISH WIT.—At the Theatre Royal Dublin, lately, one of the " gods' 'called for a cheer for ex-mayor (Reynolds) when a wag in the pit immediately called for another cheer for the double X Mayor (Guinness), which caused a roar of laughter. A company has been formed for the manufacture of , sugar from beet-root in Ireland. They have secured all the patents for improved methods of manufacture, and contem plate operations on a large scale. The unfortunate woman, Mrs. Smith, who was so much burned on Friday night, at No. 23, Skinner -street, Clerkenwell, expired during yesterday from the effects of the injuries she had receive']. SIR JAMES MATHESON AND THE LEWIS FISUINGS. —We have pleasure in quoting from the Banffshire Jour nal:—" Sixteen boats have left Buckle and Portknockie to pursue the haddock and cod fishing off the island of Lewis. Two of the crews have been engaged partly for the pur pose of instructing the native fishermen in the proper mode of pursuing those branches of the fishery. They have been engaged for this purpose by a 13auffshire curer, who intends, if encouragement offers, to se the permanently in the island. Ile has receivect every countenance front tho spirited propi iet.r, Sir James Mathe , on, who is sensible of the great benefit that would be conferred on the i.idand, were the population instructed in the best means of taking advantage of the store of wealth lying around their shores." ORIGIN OF HARLEQUINS.—In a note to his trans lation of Priscus' "Histori f the Embassy sent to Attila by Theodosius the Younger' (Mist. Civilz. app. iii., vol. 430, Bougue's edit. European Library), 111. Guizot remarks, alluding to the appearance of Zercho, a Moor, at Attila's feast :—" Is it not singular to find an harlequin at the court of Attila ? Yet such is the origin of these buffoons. The colour of the black slaves, the strangeness of their face and manners, caused them to be sought after as er.cellent ministers of mirth ; to complete the singularity, Zercl , o asks his wife at the hands of Attila, closely paralleling hex lequin demanding Wumbine.",— .Sotes and Queries. MEXICO. Th conductu, with specie for Tampico, expected down there the latter end of January, had not arrived when the Great Western called off that port, 4th February last, owing t.) a slight disturbance in the in interior, but then all was quiet, and it was expected that the specie by the conducta would reach Tampico and be ready to be shipped by the time that packet returned off the bar the teginning of March. The conducta for Vera Cruz arrived at that city on the 6th February, and all the specie for the Mexican dividends and on merchants' account fur England was shipped by the Great Western. Stations of her Majesty's ships—Feb. 14, at Trinidad, her Majesty's steamer Wellesley, 72, Captain G. Gold smith, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral the Earl of Dundonald, G.C.8., and Sappho. 12, Commander Hon. A. A. Cochrane.

Hest, left England with the mails of the 17th January, and, after encountering adverse winds to the 27th of that month, put into Faye' for coalv, and from that island arrived at St. Thomas's on the Bth February being five days after the time she was due, with the Mails at that island; the Conway, Capt. Wooley, on the Ja maica and Havannah route; the Eagle, Capt. White, on the Demerara route; the Derwent, Capt. Onslow, at St. Thomas's, on the Barbadoes and Demerara route. THE BRAZILS. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.—The ship Columbus arrived to-day with accounts from Pernambuco of the 6th of February. The Royal mail steamer Teviot arrived at Pernam buco at 6 o'clock A.m. on the 2d ult., in twenty-three days from Southampton, and left the same day at noon, for Bahia. The Teviot accounts had little influence on the markets. _ Cotton and sugar would probably decline a little. The latter article had been purchased extensively pre vious to the receipt of the steamer's accounts. Cotton sold during the week ending February the Ist at 7,300 reis to 7,400 refs, but 7,500 reis had since been paid. Hides were freely offered at 127 refs. Freights bad an upward tendency, vessels having be come less plentiful. Cotton to Liverpool was taken at id. to id. and sugar to the United Kingdom 555. to 60a. In exchange busi ness to a large amount had been done at 30c1., and in some instances 30Id. had been given for ready cash. THE ARMY. DEATH OF SIR STEPHEN V. CHAPMAN, C. 8., K.C.H. —We have to record the demise of Lieut.-General Sir Stephen V. Chapman, C. 8., and K.C.H., one of the colonels commandant of the corps of Royal Engineers. He died on the 6th instant, at his seat near Taunton , aged 76. The deceased saw some r oug h serv i ce . He first entered the Engineers as Second Lieutenant in 1794, and served throughout the war in Spain and Por tugal. In 1846 he became a Lieutenant-General. The deceased received a medal for his services at Busaco, and also the new war medal. He was for many years the Governor Commander-in-Chief and Vice-Admiral at Bermuda. Sir Stephen held the office of secretary to the Earl of Mulgrave, who was Master-General of the Ordnance during the more eventful periods of the late war. He was a member of an old Somersetshire family. The 13th, Prince Albert's Light Infantry, has received orders to hold themselves in readiness to embark at Queenstown for Gibraltar; the 74th, intended for that garrison, having been ordered to the Cape with her Majesty's screw-ship Vulcan. The screw mail steam-packet Bosphorus not having arrived at the Cape, it is thought that she was sent by Sir Harry Smith to the Mauritius for the reserve batta lion of the 12th 'Regiment, 450 rank and file, to rein force the troops on the frontier, instead of coming home as intended on the ill-advised reduction scheme of Lord Grey. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The commander in chief,' Admiral the Hon. Sir T. Bladen Cape], returned to Portsmouth, from short leave, on Friday evening, and his flag was rohoisted on board the Victory. Commander Bruce, the newly-appointed commander in chief on the coast of Africa, has nominated Mr. W. C. Bonham (1843), first of the Alarm, 26, West Indies, to be his flag lieutenant. Commander George Reynolds died on Thursday last, at Chichester, in the 86th year of his age. He entered the navy in 1781, as ordinary; served in the Prothee, 54, in Rodney's action. He was master's mate of ttie Pandora, 24, Captain Edwards, when, having been sent to the Pacific in search of the mutineers of the Bounty, she was wrecked on her passage home in Torres Straits, August, 1791. On this occasion thirty-five of the crew were drowned, and the remainder, ninety-nine, were saved by proceeding in open boats to Timor, a Dutch settlement 1,100 miles distant, each having only two ounces of biscuit and two wine glasses of water per diem to subsist upon. He was made a lieutenant in 1794, and as first of the Vengeance, 74, served at the capture of St. Lucie and Trinidad, and at the unsuccessful attack at Puerto Rico. Subsequently, for several years, he served afloat as first lieutenant; and from 1807 to 1814 had charge of a signal station at West Wittering, near Chichester. He accepted his retired rank under the Order in Council of 1816, in March, 1831. Lieu'. Henry Wright (1832) died on the Ist instant, near Carmarthen. THE SHELL EXPERIMENTS. The trial of shells proceeded oa Saturday on board the Excellent, under the inspection of the committee. About twenty of Mr. Moore's concussion shells were tried at the distant range at the Topez. Two or three of them burst prematurely—the others ware good. Mr. Moore's shells will be proceeded with this day. THE LOSS OF THE FLAMER, STEAM. VESSEL.—A pre liminary inquiry took place at the Royal Naval College, before Captain Chad, C.ll, and the Judge Advocate, M. Greetham, Esq., on the officers and crew of the Flamer, for the loss of that vessel. The persons were not examined on oath, and the evidence was not given in public. We hope that this inquiry will supersede the nec:.-s:ity of a cAut-mmrtial. The Flamer went on shore " according to the Act of Parliament;" the officers and men were all at their station's; the look-out men were placed, and the " blue pigeon was flying," and further, we understand the commander is a steady, correct, and excellent officer. . . A HAPPY MAN-or-WAR.---The Powerful, 84, Capt. the Hon. R. S. Dundas, was paid off on Saturday, along side Portsmouth Dockyard, in a most orderly and quiet manner. We are very glad to see that the system of dismantling and paying off ships alongside the yard seems now to be generally adopted. By this plan the seamen are kept sober; they leave the yard as they are paid, and they have every chance of steering clear of the land-sharks, who always make a market of those sea men who are paid off half-sea's over. The Powerful was in excellent order; she has been a most comfortable ship for both officers and men, and in the Mediterranean she was known as " The Happy Ship." She has been dis masted and entirely cleared out before paying off. Seventy or eighty of her crew have put their names down for the Prince Regent. The Sprightly steamer, Master-Commander Allen, sailed for Plymouth on Sa turday night, taking down about ,100 seamen belonging to that port, paid off from the Powerful. Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour's baggage was taken to the Cumberland, 70, Captain Seymour, at Spit head, by the Echo, steam-tug, on Saturday. Boscawen, 70, Captain Richards, C. 8., is progressing in fitting for the ordinary guard-ship, at Chatham, and will be completed in May next. Bonetta, 3, brigantine, Lieut.-Commander C. Wake, was towed to Sheerness on Friday, by the Adder, steam vessel. After her compasses have been adjusted, she will proceed to Plymouth, at which port the advance money will be paid, prior to her proceeding to her station at Brazils. _ Magicienne, 16, steam-sloop, at Devonport, having been ordered by the Admiralty for another trial to test her sailing qualities, Mr. Brown, second master at tendant, has been entrusted with the command, and she sras to sail on Saturday morning, with a party of extra riggers and engineers from the docl:yard. She has been brought to the draft of water of—fore, 15 feet 7 inches; aft, 16 feet 7 inches. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—Tho Fairy Royal yacht, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzdycerice, G.C.11., embarked the Queen and Court from the Royal Clarence-yard , Gosport, yesterday noon, and convey:A them, under the triuldsalutes, to Cowes, where the royal equipages wer e in waiting to convey them to Ozborne. The Penelope, 22, steam-frigate, was put in commis elon at the; port yesterday afterAuon by Captain Henry Lystcr for tho first• claw; Broad pondnat of Commodore Bruce, to 4uneed Commodore Fanshawe in the com mand in chief en the cae.st of Africa. The Penelope's complement is to be 300 men and officers. The Kingfi,her, 12, Cernmander,llarvey, was paid off yesterday at Devonport. Iler seamen and marines be longing to this port were brought here this morning by tho stem-teilder Avon, which returned to Devonport this afternoon. The Pyrenees hired convict-ship arrived at Spithead this morning frem the Thames to embark transports for the penal settlements. In purFnance of e,n Admiralty order, Captain H. D. Chads, C. 8., of her Majesty's ship Excellent, and Mr. G. L. Greetlmm, Deputy Judggr4dv9cote of the Meet, assembled on Fridey at the official residence of Captain Chads (the Ro3al Naval College) to receive the deposi tions of Commander St. Leger, the other officers, and ship's company of the late Flamer steam-vessel, lost on the coast of Africa, preliminary, we believe, to a court martial being held. Commander Edmund A. Glynn and Lieutenant E. Marshall aro appointed to the Penelope. APPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICH, MARCH B.—Lieutenants.—Charles T. Leckie (1845), Frederick D.

The experiments carried on with biunacle lights on board the Fisgard during the whole of five nights have been concluded, so far as they may be required for a stationary vessel, but they are to be tried is sea-going vessels before a decision is given of their respective merits.

THE PRELATES AND THE PENAL LAW!. DUBLIN, SATURDAY.—The Freeman of this morning contains the address to the Queen adopted by the Irish Roman Catholic hierarchy at the late meeting in 'ublin, together with Sir George Grey'► answer, communicated through Archbishop Murray. The reply of the Home Secretary is, of course, brief and formal ; but the addi tion of the word " graciously," though of trifling im port, seems to be regarded as significant of "some thing." A cagy of the documents is annexed, and it will be observed that even " John Archbishop of Tuam" has come off his stilts, eschewed the territorial title, and is fain to content to write himself down plain "John API-Tale :" " TO HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY THE QUEEN. " May it please your M:jesty,—We, your M, , jesty's loyal and dutiful subjects, the undersigned Archbishops and Bishops of the Itomaa Catholic Church in Ireland, presume to approach your M-,:jesty with the humble as aurance of our profound homage, and of our ferv en t an d unalterable attachment to your Majesty's person and throne. " Loyalty to the Sovereign whom Providence has placed over us is a duty which the clearest dictates of our religion prescribe. It is a duty which the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland have not failed to inculcate at all times and under the most adverse circumstances, with all the energy of Christian zeal. It is a duty, may it please your Dl:jetty, the sanctity of which was pro claimed aloud through the enthusiastic outpourings of the Irish heart when our present most gracious Sove reign vouchsafed to visit cur shores. " With ineffable pain we have learnt that an internal change lately made in England by the Sovereign Pontiff in the spiritual orgar.izatten of the Church to which we belung—a change which we believe to be in perfect accordance with every duty which the purest feelings of loyalty would demand—has been represented as an infringement of your Majesty's Royal supremacy. We beg most humbly to assure your Majesty that we utterly condemn any attempt to assail the authority of your Majesty as our supreme temporal authority. The Roman Catholics of these realms owe, and with the deepest sincerity cf their hearts cheerfully profess, supreme and undivided allegiance to your Ma jesty in all temporal matters; and yet, because we can not violate our conscience by giving to your Majesty in spiritual matters that which belongs, as we believe, solely to God, the project of a law has been laid before Parlia ment, the declared object of which is to suppress our hierarchy, and which, with that view, is framed so as to render in the highest degree penal the observance of our ecclesiastical discipline, as well as to confiscate our charitable funds. Such a law we beg most respectfully to assure your Majesty would grievously oppress your Majesty's most faithful and loyal subjects, the Roman Catholics of the United Kingdom, and would be utterly subversive of those principles of religious liberty which your Majesty vouchsafed to proclaim from the Throne, principles which descended to your Majesty as a precious inheritance from your illustrious father, which grew up with your Majesty, and were strengthened in your Royal bosom by the deliberate judgment of an enlightened mind, and the kindly sensibilities of a heart which pants for the happiness of all your subjects. "To that gracious and benevolent heart the under signed appeal with confidence against the grievous and undeserved calamity threatened by the projected penal law, and they implore your Majesty, the guardian under Heaven of the happiness of every portion of this great empire, to secure to them, and to all your Majesty's faithful Roman Catholic subjects, what is denied to no other class of their fellow-Christiana, the peaceful exer cise of their religious worship according to the known discipline of their Church. " And may your Majesty's reign be long and glorious over every section of an united, happy, and grateful ,ogle. Paul Cullen. " f Nicholas Foran. D. Murray. " t Francis Haly. M. Slattery.

JOIIN O'CONNELL ♦ND THE ELECTORS OF LIME. nick.—Every man's hand now appears to be rait , ed against Mr. John O'Connell, who, not more than six years ago, had been hailed by the repeaters as " the young and rising hope of Ireland." A special meting of the corporation of Limerick was held on Thurkday, to take into consideration the conduct of Mr. O'Connell, in having absented hirnselt from his seat in Parliament upon the introduction of the Papal Aggression Bill. After a vehement and protracted discussion, a resolu tion condemnatory of the conduct of Mr. O'Connell was passed by a majority of 18 to 11; and a second resolu tion was then adopted, calling on the lion. Gentleman to resign his seat for the city of Limerick. Amongst the majority were several who bad been the warmest adhere❑ts of Mr. O'Connell, and subscribers to the fund recently collected to defray his expenses whilst attending in Parliament. A letter appears this morning, addressed to Mr. John O'Connell by Mr. J. Kenny, the Mayor of Clonmel, de claring that it would be hypocrisy to hide the fact that his "recent indecision on Disraeli's motion has, and hill ever, stamp him as an unfit man to had in any po pular measure. Your excuse (the mayor adds) for non attendance upon the division, which would and ought for ever shut out from power that traitor to public honour, Lord John Russell, proves you, your brother, and cousin, unworthy of the confidence of the Irish people." Mr. John O'Brien, the colleague of Mr. O'Connell in the representation of Limerick, who had also been absent from the division on Mr. Disraeli's motion, ow. ha l f, to the dangerous illness of a member of his family, has so far escaped a vote of censure. Mr. O'Brien, in a letter to his constituents. declares it to he " the para mount obligation of a Catholic member to extend the duty of resistance to a general opposition to any Minis ' try, no matter how constituted, identified with the prin ciple of religious intolerance." CARRIAGE IMPROVEMENTS.—In these times of im provement, when every artificer and mechanist is taxing his ingenuity to produce something new, to hold a place in the forthcoming Exhibition, carriage builders do not in the least appear to be behind hand. There is now exhibiting in the factory of Messrs. W. and C. Middleton, Long. acre, a light and elegant carriage, fitted with a centripetal wheel-plate. By means of this new and important invention, the front wheels are made to lock under the body in turning a corner in a much shorter space than usual. Two advantages are thus offered; one is, that the hind and front wheels are brought ten inches closer together than usual, thereby con siderably lessening the draught, by means of a groove in the wheel-plate which allows the perch-bolt to slide that much forward, carrying the wheels along with it independently of the body, instead of remaining stationary while on the lock. The other is that it locks in a much shorter compass than anything that has yet been invented, a very great consi deration in turning a narrow road; but although the perch bolt is allowed to slide in this manner, it always retains its central position under the body, for which reason a lone i t entirely supersedes every other contrivance that has y et been produced, while the movement always appears perfectly smooth and easy. Altogether the invention is quite unique, gentleman who desires a and must be adopted by roomy carriage with less draught for his horses, and perfect safety with a short lock. A very elegant carriage is being finished in the most costly style for the Exhibition, which , E 27 o , N to G ns o r o eg n i w ste m r, from its various advantages and improvements, from the every spring to the door-lock, bids fair to bold a conspicuous posi tion in the carriage department, OF LIFE s umwT r e c s t ip AND ary hoistse ofO SANDS. on her first voyage, commanded by Captain John White, bound from Sunderland to Smyrna, with a cargo of coals, w as unfortunately wrecked on Thursday morning on the G oo dwin Sands. She was seen at dayli g h t, shortly after she got on shore, on the North Sand Head, the wind blowing very hard in squalls from N. by W. to N. by E. with sleet, right on the face of the sand wh ere s h e lay, and a tremend ous sea running, and breaking over her as high as her mast head. It was then nearly low water. A lugger, the Buffalo Gal, of Ramsgate, put to sea with eleven men to endeavour to save the crew. She ran down towards the brig, but found it impossible to get near her. A small life-boat at Broad stairs, manned by eight gallant fellows, at length succeeded in pulling under her stern, the sea breaking over the brig, and the life-boat being constantly full of water. The brig's crew were so benumed that they could not throw a rope; however, two of the life-boat men having life-belts got on hoard and assisted the mate and six of the crew in getting into the boat from the end of the boom. The life-boat, a heavy sea breaking her adrift from a r.pc .slio was banging on by to the brig, gait upon the sand. Two of the boatmen left on b of the brig then jumped upon the sand and got footing. 't he Buffalo Gal had by this d ine g ot on tae utt er side of the sand and succeeded in getting the whole party en board with the exception of Captain White, a man, and a boy, who, not\\ itst&nding the most circuitous endeavours, it was found imposi idle to save. The lugger, with the life. boat in tow, then proceeded to Ramsgate. NARROW ESCAPE.—The Mute Loy, one of the Deptford-yard victualling lighters, when attached by a long cable to one of the mooring buoys opposite Woolwich Dock yard on the evening of Friday last, had the cable cut by one of the Woolwich steamers, and the wind blowing strong from the north-west drifted the vessel to the incline in front of the Mast-house. On the tide receding the vessel tell over, throwing into the river seven of the men who were on board. Fortunately a ssistance was promptly obtained, and by the aid of the life buoys and other means the whole of the per , sons immersed were saved, but several of them were sick for a long time after owing to the quantity of water they- bad swallowed. The lighteX was gut up without haying lwm a n d much damage. CILIFoRNIA.

NEW YORK, FEB. 26.—A large amount of business has been done in foreign exchange for the steamer, with a steady demand in rates. This is unusual at this sea son of the year, particularly with the high rates that produce brings in Europe; but is easily accounted for when we consider that although 2,000,000 of dollars were paid from the assistant-treasurer's office in this city on the 19th, thus reducing the balance in band to 2,600,000, it has already advanced under the daily re ceipts of duties to 3,250,000 dollars. How this foreign indebtedness is to be met should no advance arise in breadstuffs is a matter of grave consideration to our Capitalists. We are now suffering under the drain of bullion; the market was pretty well cleared of first-class bills at 94 to 10 for sterling, including some 30,0001. of Canada bank bills. All the continental bills are scarce and firm. Oa Amsterdam 41-a to 414; Hamburg, 361 to 36:1; Brennen, 784 to 784. Cotton—Taleott's Circular says,—The sales since our last report per Canada, the 10th inst., amounted to about 20,000 bales, and prices, under the disappointment and unfavourable prices per Africa and Baltic, have daily yielded until the close, and quotations are reduced lic. to 14c. on last advicea; holders generally are stated to have shown no anxiety to realize, and the sales effected have been of parcels presented on sale to meet either pressing obligations or to secure the advances when they appeared by the course of the market to be jeopardized. We close with light sales and moderate offerings at the following quotations :—lnferior nominal ordinary to good ordinary, 104 to 104; for Atlantic, 11 to 111; for Or leans and Mobile, 105 to 104; for Gulf low middling to middling, 11 to 114; for Atlantic, 111 to 114; for Or leans and Mobile, 11 to 114; for Gulf good middling, 114 to 114; for Atlantic, 114 to 12; for Orleans and Mobile, 114 to 114; for Gulf middling fair to fair, 12 to 124; for Atlantic, Orleans, Mobile, and Gulf none offered, and scarce; fully fair to fair and good fair, none offered in either. Iron—The market generally is inactive, and English bars are dull. We note sales of 300 tons Scotch pig, from the wharf and to arrive, 21 dolls. 50e.; and 68 tons of Swedish steel iron, at 82 dolls. 50c. for six months. Tobacco—Continues firm, and in good demand.

SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH 9.—The Royal Mail Com pany's steam-ship Severn, Captain Vincent, arrived this morning at seven o'clock, from the West Indies with the mails in charge of Lieut. Wilkinson, RN., Admiralty agent. On the homeward voyage of the Severn she had fine weather for the first five days, and would have made an excellent passage home bad not an accident happened to her machinery on the 4th inst., but which was remedied in about 32 hours.

The facts of the case are these:—On the morning of the election a band of ruffians, numbering about 300, were marched down under the escort of the Nunes party, and stationed in front of the Court-house. During the day the polling of the votes continued very fairly balanced, and doubts were entertained who would be the successful candidate; but as soon as it was dis covered that the interest of Mr. Nunes was at an end, and that each party had polle d 1111 equal number of votes, it was then determi ned to call up the reserve force, and to prevent any one from voting for Mr. Porteous. At this juncture the votes in the parish were almost ex hausted, and the few remaining being inimical to Mr. Nunes, his gang were ordered to prevent the return of Mr. Porteous. Every obstacle was now offered to those who felt disposed to vote for Mr. Porteous, and the riotous and bloody scene commenced in all its fury. Large stones were indiscriminately thrown by the band of ruffians, and threatened destruction to all around. The police were severely wounded, many per sona received serious injuries; and one met with an un timely and cruel death. flight. On the f w by as resumed, and In this alarming moment, th e recordin g officer, finding it dangerous to remain in the Co urt-ho use , was forced to adjourn th d e ay p , ol h l, o a w n e d ve s r e , ek o p e ro el t e e e c t t i i o o n n a vote having been returned in favour of Mr. Porteous, that gentleman was considered duly elected as the re presentative of St. David's. The subject of the riot has been very seriously taken up by the Jamaica press, and the clique party de nounced as the authors and instigators of the bloody scene at Essington. Indeed it wou ld appear from the various articles on this subject that many of that party are implicated in this affair, and that they will be placed in very unenviable positions. An ievelt was held the next day on the body of Mr. ikt‘Leari, and a verdict of wilful murder returned against three nn n, who were in custody, and would be tried at the ntxt essixe court. His Excellency Sir Charles Grey had appointed a special commission to in vestigate into the affair, and had also fliipa'ehei small military fOl CC! tLC eceno of riot. Thi ng ,. how ever, had resumed their wonted calmness, and there np peared no cause to suppose that a similar affair will again take place. The Legislature bad reassembled for the discharge of business on the 11th of February. No business of consequence was disposed of up to the time of the steamer's departure. The Governor's Salary Bill was to be considered in a fortnight. The cholera bad left most parishes in the island, but had re-appeared in one or two. It raged to a somewhat alarming extent in Hanover.
