Mactitrrem's Serenata, The SLEEPER AWAKENED, to us in her behalf with all the eloquence of those blessed home associations surrounding the least and highest amongst us, from the QUEEN in her palace to the peasant in her cottage. Not to the most callous amongst us should those earnest entreaties be ad dressed in vain, coming to us as they do in those piercing tones of anguish which are wrung from the survivors of the murdered. Every consideration, in short, combines to force upon the public sympathy the affliction of the unhappy lady, now left alone in the world to watch over the interests of her ehildren. From among the clerical body espe cially she may reasonably look for that earnest and practical condolence which we have already specified —her case coming home of course with peculiar meaning to the bosom of their domestic circles. From them she may look for the assistance which would come from that quarter with particular grace, taking into account the sympathies of position and the gentle feelings inspired by uniting at once the practice and the preaching of Christianity. Among the ecclesi• astics of the Established Church are numbered many conspicuous for their virtues and their bene. ficence, men exemplary in their lives and admirable in all their relations to society, from whose generosity the persons interested in con ducting this testimonial to Mrs. HOLLEST may con fidently expect assistance. Nor will their anticipa tions, we are satisfied, be disappointed in this particular. The wealthier class of the clergy especially will participate, we feel assured, with becoming alacrity, in a cause so eminently calculated to elicit their ap proval. With them, moreover, will be united, we believe and are sanguine, a very large section, indeed, of the lay community—our hopes in this regard being confirmed by the reflection that the griefs of Mrs. HOLLEST appeal, in the very first instance, to the kindliness and humanity of her sex, that sex which has been called the gentler sex from the greater delicacy of its sensibilities, that sex the most bewitching charm of which—its tender-hearted ness—has just been vindicated, as we have observed, by the loftiest lady in the land, our beloved and gra cious SOVEREIGN. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. At'inine, A.M. of the eleventh inst., the doors of the Chamber were thrown open, and the room was quickly filled with the most distinguished ladies of the capital. At the end of the table was placed a throne surrounded by a canopy, and in the middle of the room an arm chair for the QUEEN. At ten, the Metropolitan Neaphite put on his ecclesiastical robes, and conse crated the hall. At eleven the firing of artillery an nounced the departure of the QUEEN from the palace. The senators, amounting to thirty, and the deputies to thirty-five, were in readiness to receive the QuEEN. At ten minutes past eleven, the central door was thrown open, and the QUEEN announced, followed by her Ministers, immediately ascended the throne dressed in Greek costume. The QUEEN saluted the Assembly, and sitting down, pronounced in a clear and distinct voice the following : " Gentlemen Deputies, Gentlemen Senators,—On our again meeting here under the guidance of the Most High, let us address to Him our prayers, and invoke His divine assistance. It is pleasing for me to take the present opportunity of solemnly declaring that the na tion has fulfilled all the wishes of the King, which his Majesty expressed the day he bid adieu to the Chamber —this conduct, which does honour to the country, will afford the greatest satisfaction to the King. The assist ance during the absence of his Majesty which I have re ceived from all classes of the nation has deeply increased my love for it. The King, on his return to the bosom of his country, will have fresh motives to love and honour such faithful subjects. It is with pleasure I an nounce that the relations of my Government with other foreign Powers still continue the same. Gentlemen, you are about to commence your important duties; on this occasion I have only one request to make; devote your selves with all your hearts to the common interests of your country; aid 'willingly the Government of your King in all matters tending to the welfare of the public, having constantly in view, and sole guide, the interest of the state. Advance now with seal the undertaking for which we have assembled, and implore the blessing of Heaven and its protection. I now declare open the first session of the third legislature."—(Loud cries of " Long live the King and Queen " resounded from all parts). The QUEEN then rose, and saluted with charming grace the Assembly, and retired. The Assembly then separated. Do. Preference • • • • Ambergate, Nottingham, Boston, & E.

It is from our solicitude that the beautiful example here revealed to her subjects by the QUEEN may not be altogether fruitless, that we have in this express and emphatic manner directed attention to an act of personal beneficence. Fervently do we hope that our intentions may be fulfilled, and that the subscription list opened in behalf of Mrs. HOLLEST, and headed by the name of her :MAJESTY, may rapidly extend i❑ a manner capable of rendering the amount collected together really beneficial to the object of the testimonial. Otherwise the benevolent endeavour of its► originators would in the most painful manner be frustrated—the sum proving rather an insult from its insufficiency, than a benefit from its magnitude. That such a disastrous result awaits the undertaking in question we are certain will not prove the case—the catalogue of contributors already yielding promise of the happiest consequences. By this means the poignant sorrows of the widowed lady of the unfortunate Mr. IioLLEsT may in some measure be alleviated. By this means the outrage inflicted upon an innocent family in consequence of the remissness of the local authorities, may be in a fair way to be followed by sympathy for the victims as well as by punishment for the offenders. By this means, moreover, not only the majesty of human laws but the majesty of human benevolence may be vindicated. Every day's experience proves, beyond the possi bility of dispute, that the great and all-important question of Currency Reform is making considerable progress in the country. The agriculturists more especially are beginning to discover the true source of their depressed condition, and the nature of the remedies likely to produce effectual relief. It is true that some still cling with desperate fidelity to the old regime of protective imposts, that the restoration of the bygone monopoly appears the Alpha and Omega of their aspirations. Others , perceiving the utter hopelessness of the attempt to induce the people again to submit to the monster grievance, and voluntarily to bend their necks to the yoke from which by superhuman exertions they have happily relieved themselves, advocate extensive re ductions of rents, tithes, and taxes, not the 10 or 16 per cent., which well-disposed and wealthy landlords, whose pecuniary resources enable them to submit to such sacrifices, return at the audit, but from 30 to 50 per cent., which would involve the great majority of the landowners, encumbered as they are with heavy fixed payments, in absolute ruin, curtail and reduce the national establishments to an extent incompatible with efficiency, and render the punctual liquidation of the interest on the public debt impos sible ; while others, more sagacious, and entering more deeply into the real conditions of the question, demand a repeal of our iniquitous currency laws and of the restrictions that unduly affect the circu lating medium, and the establishment of free trade in money as well as in commodities. This clear-headed and intelligent section is ac- We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. They all comment on M. GUIZOT'S publication of the preface to Morm. Scarcely any of them regard it with an eye of favour. The Bonapartist Patric complains of it as a breach of the contract entered into between the Bourbonists of both classes and the Buonapartists, to adjourn the consideration of their differences until the spring, in order to de vote their undivided energies to the Judas like task of betraying the Republic to which they have sworn fidelity. Neither Bonapartists, Legitimatists, nor Orleanists are over pleased with M. GUIZOT for his endeavour to raise into a position of even still greater importance that mysterious CHANGARNIER,WhOM, FRANKENSTEIN-like, they have created, but whom they cannot understand, and whom they alike dread and hate. It is evident that the cautious M. GUIZOT has been for once too candid, and has given utterance to the hopes and plots of the Monarchists before the proper time had arrived for their divulgement. The Republican journalists comment in severe terms on the impudence of the whole affair. The National says— •' We think, for our part, that when a capital like Paris has proclaimed on the barricades the Republic, when all the departments of France accepted that Re public, when they sent 9CO representatives to found a republican constitution, and when that constitution was unanimously voted, the last Minister of the monarchy, culpable, in the eyes of the Republicans, of having made an attack on liberty, came forward with a bad grate, at the end of three years, to ask if the Republic can be founded. But M. Guizot conceives that he is very kind in asking the question. With his habits of think ing, he cannot hesitate on the choice of a master; but will France give herself to the masters whom she drove out in 1830, or to those whom she drove out in 1850; that is the whole question for M. Guizot. He at one moment has said—' Shall we have a Washington or a Monk?' but he demonstrates, as he believes, that we have not in France the stuff to make a Washington of; Monk therefore remains. Where is he? Every one is to say: at the Tuileries: Meek is M. Changarnier, and Charles 11. is a prince of the house of Bourbon. M. Guizot does not choose at present between Clare mont at Wiesbaden, he only pronounces against the Republic and against the Empire. He traces out the conduct to be pursued by M. Changarnier, who is to preserve his authority, giving way apropos as at Satory, and resisting apropos as in the matter of General Neu =yen He is to preserve his post at the head of the army, and to bear in mind that the old Monk had two talents—to temporise and to lie. M. Cbangarnier's farce depends on two causes—he leans for support on the Royalists, nod is necessary to the Bonapartists. Let these latter send him away, and their party falls on the in stant; let them guard him, and he will wear them out. W hen the great name, under the shade of which France makes a halt, shall have lost all prestige, M. Changarnier will only have to bring back in triumph M. Guizot and his pupil. His motto will be as it was Monk's,' Victor sine sanguine ;' the revolution of February will have been only a dream. And Richard Cromwell, what of him? M. Guizot is not less explicit for him than for M. Changarnier. He carries his harshness to insult; Richard's debts will be paid; that is all the gratitude which the monarchy feels—for I also publish,' says M. Guiteet, ' a letter addressed, a fortnight before the Restoration, by Richard Cromwell to Monk. When the Parliament meets, you will have the kindness to use Soul• credit to have certain debts paid, which I cannot conscientiously look on as mine. For I have in you this confidence, that if I ought to judge myself but little worthy of great thiuga, yon will not judge me worthy of complete ruin? Singular mixture of modesty, almost humble, and of a reminiscence of greatness!' Atter having read this preface, we will give M. Guizot but one encomium—he is frank." There have been some disturbances at Argentiere, in the department of the Ardeche. Tranquillity, however, has been restored. There were rumours yesterday in Paris of the dis covery of various Legitimatist plots. The Prefect of Police has ordered the Passage de l'Opera to be cleared every evening, in order to pre vent stock jobbing from being carried on there after the Bourse is closed. The following notice has been affixed at the .Bourse " The assemblages under the name of ' Cercle au Pas sage de l'Opera' are already known to the public. It is also known that before the opening and after the closing of the Bourse sales of public stock are wont to take place there, and it is, in fact, a sort of branch establishment of the Bourse. It is not necessary to insist on the dangers of the operations in the spotreferred to—operations without any serious character, and often in consequence of false or true rumours of which jobbing is the life and soul. At all events such a practice is an infraction of the re gulations of the Bourse, which is specially set apart for the operations in the public funds, effected through the agency of brokers instituted by law, and which alone present guarantees of the publicity the administration owes to interests of every kind. The Prefect of Police has therefore prohibited Bourse operations in the Pas sage do l'Opera, and has ordered that those which took place at the Bourse alter the hour fixed by its regula tions, shall cease."

The currency question now forms the chief topic of discussion at the meetings of the farmers' clubs ; the new views are listened to attentively and respectfully. Speakers may proclaim their adhesion to free-trade doctrines without their words being drowned in storms of in dignant hisses, and themselves driven with ignominy from the platform ; nay, on a division, as many voices will be uplifted against as in favour of import duties on agricultural produce. This is an im portant sign, an auspicious omen. The moment the people seriously apply themselves to obtaining a tangible and practicable reform that will benefit all classes in the community, and not be for the exclusive advantage of any clique or section, that moment augurs their ultimate triumph. The Legglature cannot re sist the voice of public opinion firmly but temperately expressed. We recently alluded in laudatory terms to the proceedings of the Burton and Trent Farmers' Club, and the able address of the excellent chairman• Mr. GISBORNE, showing that the great deside ratum, to which all their exertions should be directed, was the re-enactment of the monetary code, under which all classes enjoyed real prosperity in the beginning of the present century, notwith standing the enormously heavy war expenditure, and the unceasing drain on the national resources. It now .becomes our no less pleasing duty to direct the public attention to the meeting of farmers resident in the southern division of Norfolk and the northern division of Suffolk, held at Harleston on Wednesday last, in which THOMAS LUCOMBB TAYLOR, Esq., of Stanton, a faithful and consistent Free-trader, occupied the chair, and enlightened the assembly with a clear and lucid expo sition of the causes that have led to the present un towardstate of affairs, and the ruin that is impending— and we say it, with deep regret and earnest sympathy —over the agricultural interest. Like Mr. SAMUEL A. GODDARD, and many other nfluential Free-traders, Mr. TAYLOR long perceived ;he close and intimate connexion between corn and currency. He believed that if the principles of free trade were true, exceptions ofany kind were erroneous, and that if partial exceptions, such as those on corn, iron, silks, or cotton, could not be justified, the re striction on gold—the medium of exchange of all articles—was still more objectionable, and that so long as the price of gold was fixed, and our internal cur rency dependent on its possession, free trade in other respects was a mockery and delusion. Mr. TAYLOR, then, while he advocated the abolition of protective imposts, strenuously urged " the revision of our mone tary laws and the reduction of taxation," and he still maintains these opinions, in which every sincere and disinterested Free-trader, who does not desire to ad "ranee the interest of a class at the expense of the remainder of the community, participates.

BRAVO Munini.o, during the discus sion on the address, entered into lengthened details on the financial state of the country, and held out very flattering promises for the future. According to the statement of the Minister of Finance, the deficit for the present year will only amount to thirty millions of reels, and he expressed his opinion that the direct taxes would not be increased next year. The Duke of VALENTIA, the President of the Council, also gave explanations relative to the state of the country, and maintained that prudence, mode ration, and wisdom had influenced all the acts of the Ministry. He strongly denied the justness of a re proach that had been addressed to the Ministry, of having shown weakness in their foreign policy, and maintained on the contrary, that the dignity of the nation had been always supported. The address was voted by a very large majority. •• --- • 7% -. 7 IA 100 42% to% % 5%34 4 2 0; Is% 7 12N 13 N 6 %!‘ 29 16 0 100 47% 5 4% 2 12 0 - 1. 9 A 21,4 19 % 10 q 15 4 % Oki 10% ie 125 [74 I A 74 IA 73% 10 5134 51 5134 7% % % 85 IA 3i 120 119% 20% 19% 16 15S 170% 70 713 i U 1% 1 % [44 433 44 33% 14% 14 14 2 % X % 2034 21 15 —l4 dia. 16 —15% 13 5 9 12 7%-8 , Oi - 414 8% -8% 8 7% 8 4„ 8% 18% - 18% 42 - 41% 7% - 7 p. 118 1 ,i% 11 17% 18% - 1N 7%- 71 4 3 4 - 1 p. 11%-12% 12 1 4 12 34 63 dis. 514 5 1 ,4 dis. 9% 954 10 13 5 6 9 IV+ dis, 14 —l4 3 —27 f, 11 11% 11% 11 2% 214 diEt 204 20% .. - .. 22 -23 4% , N dit 6% die. dis. 6% 6 21 % 20% •• • 9 —.7 din, 3 - 33 4 - 43! 14 -14% MONEY and COMIVIEItUtAL NEWS CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. 41 - 4034 20 -1113 i The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es timated at 6,000 bales, of which 1.000 American were taken on speculation.

The market closed firmly with prices of all kinds of American against the buyer.—ln Railway Shares a good business was done at higher prices. From Liverpool Messrs. Joseph Robinson and Co. re port concerning the wool market that, throughout last month, the demand has been limited, occasioned by the threatening aspect of affairs on the Continent, which has struck a degree of fear into several of the manufactu rers, and given them a pretest for attempting to reduce prices. Under ordinary circumstances, their object would have been achieved; but the heavy consumption of the year, the healthiness of the trade, with its cheer ing prospects, and the limited supply of all descriptions, causes en apparent indifference on the part of holders to real!ze; the result is, that the market closes more firmly, and many classes of low wools have further advanced. . - •• 8- 8% The Manchester market during the past month is de scribed by Messrs. McNair, Greenhow, and Irving, in the following terms:—" We have it iu our power to re port the existence of transactions during the month of great magnitude. India, China, and other Eastern markets, with the improved condition of those in Brazil, Spanish America, and the British West Indies,—as re gards the latter a gratifying fact considering the very severe transition which they have had to undergo,—have required considerable, in the aggregate large, operations to be entered into. To these must be added, considering the season of the year, November being proverbially in active in that respect,—a comparatively unexpected extent of business for the country trade. " The outward and real appearances of the market during the month hive been of a sluggish and mono tonous character, unrelieved save by the more favour able appearances of matters on the Continent, and the somewhat telling accounts from the United States, for the time being, of disastrous frosts and other fatalising accompaniments with respect to cotton. The former have so far proved fallacious; and the latter by subse quent tidings have induced holders of the article in this country, generally, to become willing sellers, and to ac ' cept rates lower than those ruling a month ago. " Prices have, under all the circumstances, been sus tained with remarkable firmness. As will be seen, however, by a reference to our quotations, they have gives way in many cases to a trifling extent both as re gards cloth and yarns. The concession made by spinners and manufacturers has not proceeded from any necessity to realize from the existence of stocks, but trona a na tural and general desire on the part of each to secure the possession of orders, in preference to continuing to pro duce for stock at the present price of the raw material." The cane is represented as being in a very flourishing condition this year in Cuba, and it is expected that the harvest will be much more plentiful than the last. In some estates they do not expect to be able to grind up all the corn grown. Late Lima papers furnish details of an attempt which had been made upon the life of General Belza, Presi dent of Bolivia. While walking, on the 6th of Septem ber, with Colonel Laguna, President cf the Senate, Don Augustin Morales, and others, a student named Juan Sotomayer fired a pistol, which wounded Belza in the face. As he fell, another pistol was fired by Mo rales, but the ball only slightly grazed him. Some slight attempt at a revolution appears subsequently to have been made, but without success. The origin of the affair is imputed to General Ballivian, formerly President of the Republic, who, with his partisans, had withdrawn from the country. The President of the Senate Colo nel Laguna, was implicated in the conspiracy, and con demned to be shot. The sentence was carried into effect on the 13th of September. Morales and Sotomayer has also been similarly sentenced. The letters received this morning from the Continent quite bear out yesterday's anticipations. A rapid reac tion is occurring in the quotations of Public Securities, and the value of the precious metals is again tending downwards. The greater buoyancy which yesterday prevailed in the Stock market has continued, and there is an increased disposition to make investments. The announcement thatahe danger of a Continental war is past acts upon the more timid, and will induce parties whohave been specu lating fur a rise to act very cautiously, and probably to close gradually in anticipation of a rise which many con sider not to be improbable, as in the course of a week the dividend will be deducted from the quotation of Consols, thus making them about 96, if we take the present value 01 974 for Transfer. In time bargaining, however; there is a difference, as six weeks hare to elapse before the January settlement, and accordingly the quotations for that period are 971 Bank Stock is worth 212 to Exchequer-bills have been marked 655. to 68s. premium, being the fprmer quotations. India Bonds are 863. to 88s. premium. Long Annuities have been at 71 ; . In the Foreign Market the transactions have been at very full rates, but there is not quite so much doing. Spanish Five per Cents. have been quoted 184, and the Passive Bonds 31. Portuguese Four per Cents. have realized 34. Peruvian Four-and-a-Halt per Cents. have been quoted 794, and the Deferred 354. Mexican Stock has been at 321 a further slight advance. Russian Bonds look better, the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. being 9614. Dutch Two-and-a-Halt per Cents. have been 561. Railway Shares have been very buoyant again, and there has been a large business done in them. North-Western have maintained the rise to 19i and 20 premium, and Midland have been as high as 44. North British have been in favour at an advance to 8, and South-Eastern have been es high as 214, though since done at 204 and 21. Great Northern are attract ing attention, and small but numerous purchases are stated to have been made within the last few days for investment. Blackwall are a shade better, and there have been large dealings in South-Western, owing to the assertion that a saving will be effected of 30,0001., equal to i f per cent, upon the dividend, in working the line.

Our Most Gracious SOVEREIGN, with a benevolence becoming her august position, and according well with the known generosity of her character, has re cently contributed a sum of fifty pounds towards a subscription now getting up for the assistance of the unfortunate Mrs. HOLLEST, of Frimley. It cannot be forgotten under what afilicting circumstances the lady in question was suddenly deprived of her hus band, by the Land of • a burglarious assassin. The courage and presence of mind evinced by her in a po sition of peculiar peril were as beyond praise as the greatness of her after misfortune was removed from the reach of alleviation. Considering, moreover, the excellence of the unhappy gentleman, her husband, a clergyman of unblemished reputation, of unoffending habits, of tranquil and religious life, and bearing in mind also the appalling abruptness with which he was struck down in the midst of his home, in the vigour of health, and in the moment when death was least an ticipated, the event in which the subscription referred to originated could scarcely be of a nature more cal culated to excite our sympathies. Condolence is un luckily the only reparation capable of being offered by society to the family which its remissness has thus lamentably plunged into affliction. That condolence will be merely idle and ineffective unless it prove a really practical tribute of regret, offered in the hour of bitterest necessity to the in nocent victim of the outrage. After the noble example given by the SOVEREIGN, we can not doubt that the project to which we are here di recting attention will meet with the support that might be justly expected. A list of subscriptions, headed with a donation of such munificence coming from the noblest personage in the land, cannot surely fail in extending to limits compatible with the neces sales of the occasion. For the sorrow under which Mrs, IIoLLEsT is now bowed down might have be fallen any one amongst us as reasonably as herself. The - sanctity of other households might as readily have :been violated, the privacy of. „another home as easily encroached upon; and now that she has proved the vic tim of, these most heinous acts of violence it becomes the multitude to evidence the sincerity of their un doubted commiseration. Our household gods appeal GERMAN Y. The accounts from Germany which arrived this morning are pacific. A letter from Frankfort, in the Cologne Gazette, states, as from an authentic source, that Austria has consented to the withdrawal of the federal troops from Electoral Hesse, simul taneously with the retirement of the troops of Prussia, and letters inform us that the inhabi tants of Cassel have caused a letter to be addressed to the ELECTOR, soliciting him to return, and assuring him of a friendly reception. We have Berlin journals and letters of the 29th ult. One of the latter state that the address of the Second Chamber of Prussia has been adopted by the Committee, and gives the principal passage re garding the dispute with Austria. It is energetic, hut expresses a strong hope that peace will be maintained on honourable terms to Prussia. There is nothing in the language to excite a fear of violent resistance to the Cabinet, provided an arrange ment can be made with Austria which shall not humi liate Prussia, or render illusory the expectations that have been held out in favour of constitutional princi ples. The Prussian funds were steady on the 29th, and with a tendency to improvement. The Cologne Gazette states that a circular has been addressed by Lord PALMERSTON to all the great powers of Europe, in which he ejcpresses , a strong de sire to see peace maintained between Prussia and Austria, but adds that, if war should take 'place, England could not remain neutral, as ber interests would 'be too nearly affected. Th e C o l ogne. Gazette does not,, however, give its authority for the state ment. It; tz.— I .'f CAI:, ITALY. Accounts from Rome state that the celebrated vase in the Vatican, which was found in the tomb of Augustus, and was supposed to contain the ashes of the children of GEnuamus, had been blown down during the gale of wind, which had destroyed one of the windows of the Vatican, and been shivered to atoms. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 28th ult. pub lises the law passed by the Chambers, in virtue of which persons not professing the Catholic religion are admitted without distinction of creed to take their degrees in the Piedmontese universities.

TEA. —The market is firm, but last week's deliveries in London were not quite so large. TOLACCO.—At this period of the year, under ordinary circumstances, we have generally observed an indisposi tion on the part of many of the trade to increase their stocks, and during the present month it bas been very apparent; nevertheless, sales of all sorts have been 1,280 hhds, viz., 260 blids Virginia Leaf, 250 hhds Ken tucky Leaf, and 770 hhds Kentucky Strips; the market has continued extremely firm, two or three sales of limited selections have been made at a slight advance, and higher prices asked for some parcels, but we have not seen any change sufficient to induce us to alter our previous quotations, excepting for fine spinning strips, which we quote at a further ad vance. Sampling has now made considerable progress, especially in Kentucky strips. Some parcels du not possess so much substance as the corresponding marks of last year's importation, but are in better condition, more colory and very good in flavour. Stock, 26,671 Ws against 25,005 hhds in 1849. FIRE DAMP.—The constant recurrence of fatal ca astrephes in coal mines, arising from the explosion of fire damp, demands the serious attention of scientific persons, with a view to devise some preventive scheme calculated to obviate these deplorable disasters. No precautions hitherto adopted have been found successful iu accomplishing with certainty this desirable object, as the sad records so frequently reported, but too painfully exemplify. It appears quite clear that the only expedient which will prove effectual is one that involves total annihilation. This victory over such an insidious foe may, perhaps, be achieved by the simple agency of a voltaic battery and conducting wires, which might rival its triumph in the telegraph. The fact is known that noxious gas instantly explodes from ignition by an electric spark; as the wires may be conveyed with facility throughout every chamber and gallery of the mine, the ex periment can be tried to test the salubrity of each locality before the labourers descend to their employment, and be repeated at intervals in order to detect in time the existence of the fearful element, and ensure its destruction in small quantities, without causing any material injury to the works. An invention of this kind combines the advantages of a cheap apparatus and the practical ex p er i ence d er i ve d f rom pursuits, on which g roun d s it ma y b e probably lead to the discovery of a o a t n h d e r more perfect process. e it n s ti a t p le p d lic to at n io o n tic in e, Archdeacon Manning, it appears, by a paragraph in the Tractarian organ, has as last resigned his office. This, we doubt not, is only the first step, to be followed by two or three others, the last of which will probably land him in the Romish Bishophric of Southwark. Dr. Wiseman has been on a visit to Mr. Murray, formerly M.P. for Bucks, where he met Lord and Lady Feilding, Mr. A. L. Phillipps, Mr. Mas kell, Mr. and Mrs. Allies, and Mr. Pugin, the whole being converts, through Puseyism, from the Church of England, to the Romish apostacy. Thus it is, that we keep nets and snares in our own Church, whereby men are entangled and deluded into Romish errors. Is it right, or wise, that this system should go on? Would it not be more consistent with common sense, and with the law of self - preservation, to break down these bridges, recently built over the gulf which used to divide Protestantism from Popery; and thus to leave men, if they will turn Papists, to brave the Hood, in stead of making the way smooth and easy for them ? It is with some views of this kind, we belive, that the meeting of Thursday next, at Freemasons' Hall, has been convened. The object is to insist upon the propriety and necessity of making some rule, that those:who fill offices in a Protestant Church shall not act as Papists. And we hove no doubt that the natural honestyand straightforwardness of English men will say " God speed" to such a design.--Herald. ESTABLISHMENT OF A SURREY RURAL POLICE.— The Surrey magistrates met yesterday to receive the report of the committee appointed to consider the propriety and manner of effecting the above object. About 50 magistrates were present. The committee were unanimous in considering the present force insufficient to protect that part of the county lying beyond the metropolitan police district. The report recommends the introduction of the rural police in preference to proceeding under the Parish Constables Act or enlarging the metropolitan police district to take in all Surrey, which would require a special Act. In complying with the provisions of the Act 3 and 4 Vict., c. 88, sec. 29, which requires that every police division shall contain 26,000 inhabitants, the committee propose the formation of three divisions, the respective capitals of which shall be Chertsey, Dorking, and Godalming ; the chief constable re siding at Dorking. They anticipate an expenditure of 3,0001. in repairing lock-up houses and erectingstations, and propose a staff, consisting of a chief constable, chief superintendent, 5 superintendents,, 8 inspectors and 70 constables. After much discussion, the report was carried, and the election of chief constable, who will choose the subordinate officers, was fixed for the first day of Epiphany sessions.
