COWES, Nov. 1, For years Guy Fawkes has been a stranger to our streets, and bonfires have been prohibited here, but the impudence of the Pope's Bull has brought them both to light again. The whole of this day the town and neighbourhood have been on a move. At twelve o'clock the effigy of a cardinal in full canonicals, so highly finished off that it would not have disgraced Madame Tussaud's collection, made its appearance and was pared( d through the different streets, and soon after that of a second personage, a short man clothed in black, with a white cravat, a book in hand, and on his hat, in large figures, " SO," " The traitor, the hypocrite." The procession closed about seven . o'clock, when the shops were s i mu lt aneous l y shut, and the houses and streets were deserted, the whole population rushing to the beach near Egypt, where an immense pile of tar barrels, sugar hogsheads, furnished by the shipbuilders and tradesmen, and a quantity of faggots from Mr. Ward's park, were fired, and the two effigies were burnt. A quantity of fireworks were also discharged. We nrc happy to say that the greatest order prevailed among the multitude present. The surrounding country seemed to be in a blaze. No less than thirteen fires could be seen at once on the opposite coast of Hampshire, and there was not a hamlet in this island without one. No annoyance was offered to the Catholic inhabitants; the multitude noticed only the Pope and his tools. N ° . 18,135.] LONDON, THURSDAY N S N OVEMBER 7, 1850. [PRICE SD. SWANSCOMBE, KENT.

BANQUET TO RAILWAY DIRECTORS. (Hear.) I hope that the Exhibition, if it does no thing else, will tend to cement the nations of the earth together; and what I particularly wish and feel most anxious about is, that we should give a hearty recep tion to the people of every country in the world, so that they may return to their own lands happy and satis&d, and able to inform their friends and neigh bours of the welcome reception they met with in Eng land.—(Loud cheers.) The remaining toasts were " The High Sheriff of Surrey," to which Mr. Freshfield responded; "The Lady Mayoress," which was acknowledged by the Lord Mayor ; and " The Managers and Officers of the Railway Companies," which was suitably acknow ledged by Captain finish and Mr. Watkin. .I,lr. Harker officiated as toastmaster; and the pro ceedings were greatly enlivened by the• vocal per formances of Miss Ransford, Miss Bassano, Mr. Holmes, Mr. W. E. Ransford, Mr. H. Phillips, and Mr. Ransford. Mr. Harper also played a solo upon the trumpet. come to justify these prognostications, we too must fain put faith in democracy. We should prefer it in its wildest - frenzy to the establishment of a universal Cossack empire over Rome. The Lord Mayor last evening entertained, in the Egyptian Hall, the directors of the London and North-Western, the South-Eastern, the Midland, and the York and North Midland Railway Companies, and the principal officers of the different compaaks, as well as several other visitors.

The Sett comprises 12 Acres of Slate and about 20 Acres for the deposit of waste, and adjoins the Estate of Colonel the Honourable Edward Douglas Gordon Pennant, M.P. The slate Bed or Lode being a continuation of the great Roofing Slate formation worked by him at the celebrated Penrhyn Quarry, from which the Llewelyn Quarry is distant about half-a-mile. It will be a matter of sunrise to the public to find that a Quarry immediately adjoining the Penrhyn Quarry, which for the last twenty years or more has yielded a profit of upwards of 80,0001. per annum, should now he in the market the circumstance is, how ever, thus accounted for. In the Valley at the foot of the Penrhyn Quarry, close to the Elver Ogwen and the Turnpike-road, the course of the Slate has been diverted from a straight line by the uprising of a huge mass of Green Stone, throwing - a portion of the Slate Bed or Lode which is here about 500 yards wide to the north-west; this western branch pa.ses under the village of Bethesda, close to which are tl4 Pandraineog and Coytrnor Quarries, now in full operation; the other portion of the Bed keeps its original bourse, about north-east, and dips under a lofty ridge of Killas or Clay Slate, and has hitherto been lost to the miner and geologist. It has, however, lately been d scovered, that on the north side of th:s Killas ridge the Bootleg Slate lies only about four fathoms below the surface. The discovery was made a few weeks since by sinking a shaft about two-thirds down the slope of the ridge. or mountain, below which point there is sufficient fall for the deposit of waste, and every facility for working a Qua:ry oa an extensive scale. The Slate is of the finest quality and colour. In three months sufficient Slate Rock may be cleared of the over lying Mlles to supply frum fifty to 100 Quarrymen and Dressers, and a lurther extent of ground progressively opened.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURT EI ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England, and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2dol.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. • The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1849, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 121, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of Juno last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9301. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leavin ,, the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. 1 Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,183/. 1 ls. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Stead Agent in France, Monsieur de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbish6p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con• siderah:e amount of business, not only in Lifo Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physic , logy of the Reproductive Organs. It nn tertunately happens that the unhappy 4 Ictim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone it can be procured.

Ring and Brymer ; and, as usual, the "loving cup" was passed round. After the usual loyal toasts, the LORD MAYOR pro posed " The Army and Navy," to which Colonel Sir FREDERICK SMITH and the Hon. Captain CARNEGIE respond'd. The LORD MAYOR then proposed " The health of his Excellency the. American Minister and the other Ambassadors from Foreign Courts." His Lordship highly complimented Mr. Lawrence upon the manner in which he had fulfilled his mission at this Court, and expressed great gratification at his presence upon this occasion. The toast was most warmly applauded. Mr. ABBOT LAWRENCE, the American Minister, who was received with cheers, said,—l thank you for the courtesy and very kind manner in which you have received the toast, and on the part of my colleagues whose health has also been drunk, I beg, with myself, to offer you, my Lord Mayor and Gentlemen, our united thanks. lam here to-day by your invitation, my Lord; and although I am proud to be here, because I feel it to be a great distinction and a sincere com pliment to my country that my health has been drunk, I confess, my Lord, that there es a tinge of melancholy mixed with the feeling. This is the last time, my Lord, that I shall have the honour of attending your hospitable board as Lord Mayor—(Hear, bear) — and I should be doing injustice to the sentiments of my country, and to my own feelings, if I were not now to make known to you, gentlemen, from every part of England, as I understand you are, the uni form kindness I have, on the part of the United States, received during the last year from the chief magis trate of the city of London.—(Cheers.) His more than princely hospitality I have constantly partaken of during his year of office, and I consider it as a compliment to the citizens of the United States. — (Hear.) I feel myself constrained to say, further, that I am proud of now being by circumstances brought into contact with a great body of men, re nowned, both at home and abroad, for their enterprise and their power—with men who are great donors to their country and to mankind.—(Cheers.) I meet you, gentlemen, with feelings of respect and pride. I meet you with feelings of respect, because I sympa thise with you in the great objects you are prosecut ing, having been myself for some time engaged in the same pursuits. I have likewise pride in meeting you because you hove achieved great and glorious things for your country, and because your example has not only reached my country, but extended to every part, or almost to every part, of the civilized world.—(Cheers.) Yes, gentlemen, I look upon the establishment of railways as one . of the greatest agents in the civilization of mankind.—(Cheers.) It has been said, and truthfully said, that he who causes two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before is a national and a universal benefactor. In the same spirit I hold that you, gentlemen, who have made travelling so cheap that the poorest creature upon earth cannot afford to walk, that you who are rapidly bringing together the people of every country in the world, are great public bene factors.—(Hear, hear.) And when I regard my own country, which stretches from the tropics to the Frozen Ocean, and see the extent of steam commu nication through it, either by railways or steamboats ; when I contemplate the magnitude of the territory either already covered or about to be covered by electric telegraphs, extending, in fact from one end of the continent to the other, and when I see those great highways of intellect and thought enabling us to communicate with each other at the distance of two or three thousand miles in thirty or forty minutes, I confess I am amazed, and not only amazed, but delighted to see that men are brought so near each other.—(Hear, hear.) I am delighted, too, to see here, I will not say two hundred railway kings, because that is a phrase which is not perhaps popular —(A laugh)—but railway managers who represent a capital equal to one-third of the whole National Debt of England. You, gentlemen, have the destinies of the nation in your hands. Under all these circumstances, I confess I feel most deeply the compliment which the Lord Mayor has paid to my country in inviting me to this entertainment. We cannot at present, gentlemen, realize the full benefits of the railway system ; but I may observe that in every country where railways have hitherto been established they have been proved to be the greatest labour saving machines yet in vented.—(Hear, hear.) Recollect, gentlemen, that you are only commencing the application of steam, both to the navigation of ships and to travelling upon land.—(Hear, hear.) Forty years ago not a steamer was to be found upon the .Thames, and but twenty two years ago, or thereabouts, not a solitary steaen carriage was to be seen driving its way along the surface of the land.—(Hear, hear.) I say, then, that the resources, not only of this country, but of all countries, so far as the appliances of art and science are concerned, are increased by the application of steam. What was the art of printing forty years after its discovery ?—(Hear, hear.) What is steam now, forty years after its first application to locomo tion ? The first was improved and extended, and I have no fear in that respect for the second.—(Cheers.) His Excellency concluded by again complimenting the Lord Mayor upon his hospitality, and by a warm expressions of the interest he felt in meeting the re presentatives of the great railways of the country— institutions which he regarded as among the greatest conservators of intelligence, power, peace, and secu rity.— (Cheers.) The next toast proposed by the LORD MAYOR was "The House of Commons." Sir H. VERNEY, M.P., returned thanks in a brief speech, in the course of which he referred with feel ings of pride to the connexion which his ancestors had with the city of London. The Hon. Baronet men tioned that one of his family filled the office of Sheriff in 1458, of Lord Mayor in 1460, and of Member for the City in 1462. It was one of the most honourable characteristics of the City, that the humblest indivi dual might, by the exercise of integrity, prudence, and honour, obtain its highest honours.—(Cheers.) Foreigners who came to the Great Exhibition next ye,r would see here the spectacle of a peaceful and well-governed people. He desired that they should, at the same time, see that our free institutions in civil matters, and our Protestant institutions in religious matters, could, under the blessing of Divine Provi dence,oSinicthw, h os e n w o - as do sa u t b is t ti o e w d in w g ou to ld thebe t I e, dv r form a happy and a moral people.—(Cheers.) a e a s n u t a l t g e a s n arising d c h from railway communications.—(Hear.) The LORD MAYOR proposed " The City of London and its Trade," coupling the name of Mr. ex-Sheriff Nicoll with the toast. Mr. NICOLL, in returning thanks, said—My Lord Mayor, permit me to tender a very brief, though a very sincere expression of my thanks for the kind compliment you have been pleased to bestow upon me . Let me assure you that it has afforded me much pleasure once more to partake of your Lordship's hospitality in this the time-honoured scene of festivity and loyalty, where all the great azd noble in the land are accustomed freely to commingle with the repre sentatives of its commerce.—(Cheers.) Let me take the advantage of this opportunity to congra tulate your Lordship upon having availed your self of so many occasions for sustaining the an cient character for hospitality of the great city over which your Lordship has so ably presided in the capacity of its chief magistrate.—(Cheers.) And here let me say that the intimate connexion, the bond of mutual good understanding that has existed for centuries between the officers of the mayoralty and the shrievalty of the City, has not only remained during our time simply unimpaired, but the efficacy of such an arrangement has been further illustrated and established.—(Cheers.) With regard to the com plimentary allusion that your Lordship has so kindly made to the ancient and honourable offices I have so recently had the honour to fill, I do trust that in my endeavour faithfully to disTharge the duties of my office, I shall have deserved not only the good opinion of my fellow-citizens, but also that of the, public in general.—(Loud cheers.) The AMERICAN MINISTER proposed " The health of the Lord Mayor," to whose splendid hospitality he again bore testimony. Allusion had been made to the Great Industrial Exhibition of 1851. He felt profound interest in the success of that undertaking ; and on the part of the United States be returned his thanks to the Lord Mayor for the part he had taken in promoting its objects. Not only was it fraught with prospects of the highest benefit to this country, but its effeote would be diffused all over the world. It would lie's benefit to mankind.—(Hear, hear.) Great Britain need fear nothing from the comparison to which she would be exposed. In all the substan tial arts it was futile to say that, with the advantages of cheap capital and cheap labour, our skill and en ergy would be last in the race. To tell him that the lusty, broad-shouldered, energetic old Saxon would be last in the race was simply utopian ; and he was of opinion with the late Sir Robert Peel, upon the last occasion when he had the pleasure of hearing him in public, when he stated that this country had nothing to apprehend from any foreign nation whatever.—(Hear, bear.) The LORD MAYOR briefly returned thanks, ob serving in the course of his address that his merits had been described in too brilliant terms. If be could have fulfilled all that bad been said of him he should have been the greatest man upon record ; but he had done what lay in his power, and they must take the will for the deed.—(Cheers.) From the time he accepted office it had been his earnest wish to discharge his duties faithfully and correctly ; and though much had been omitted he had done his best, and for what he had done be was amply rewarded by the approbation of that assembly and of his fellow citizens.—(Cheers.) Hi s Lordship then proposed " The Directors of the London and North-Western Railway Company," a toast that was most heartily applauded. Mr. SMITH said it fell to his lot, in the absence of Mr. Glyn, the deputy-chairman of the London and North-Western Company, to return the acknowledg ments of the directors of that company for the honour conferred upon them, and in doing so he could not but regret the absence of Mr. Glyn, who would more adequately express their sense of the Lord Mayor's kindness. He (Mr. Smith) was sure he should only utter the feelings of his colleagues when he said that they felt the compliment to be,the greater, associated as they were at his Lordship's table with so many gentlemen engaged in large and varied, and many of them in kindred, enterprises, because they could best appreciate the difficulties which beset untertakings of magnitude and importance.—(Hear.) His Excellency the American Minister had adverted to the benefits which mankind would derive from the introduction of railways, and he (Mr. Smith) doubted not that not only this country, but the whole world would derive all the benefit thus anticipated from, the vast undertakings which, in their financial, political, and social results, surpassed any object which had yet engaged the genius and energy of man.—(Cheers.) The directors were duly sensible of the moral respon sibilities imposed upon them in the management of those important works, and their ambition would be to perform worthily the duties they had undertaken. The LORD MAYOR next gave—" The Deputy- Chairman and Directors of the Midland Railway Company." Mr. BEALE said he regretted the absence of the chairman of the Midland Company, who would in his own earnest mamer have heartily acknowledged the compliment paid to the directors of that railway.— (Hear.) He (Mr. Beale) would observe that, in carrying out so vast a system of intercommunication no doubt great mistakes had been made, not only by railway directors, but by others, and many railways had been made which would have borne delay ; but the history of railways must ire measured by the life of the country rather than by the life of men, and if so regarded, the shareholders of most lines would still participate in the public satisfaction at so great a eo Lord m LORD pro y Mayorei‘ieAnfy, MAYOR his(t hCehne hospitalityers proposed ) H 11, bagged ,d likhien dcn to ensa si. thank Chairman a n s t ce al i T and Directors of the South-Eastern Railway Com pany." - Mr. MACGREGOR said he felt proud to have the honour of returning thanks for the South-Eastern Company. If other railways might have large expec tations in connexion with the Great Exhibition, to which reference had been made, and which the Lord Mayor had taken an honourable part in promoting, surely not least must be a railway which had one ter minus in St. Saviour's, in Southwark, and the other at St. Sophia's, in Con s t ant i n ople.—(Hear, hear.) The directors of that railway felt proud in being enabled to take part in the work of shortening the period of communication between London and Paris from 36 to 12 hours—(Hear)—and in erecting wires which brought to the press—the mighty press—two hours after midnight, intelligence of what had passed in Paris the day before.—(Hear, hear.) It would be the study of the company to do everything that could be done to make communication between the Conti nent of Europe and the South-Eastern ports easy for all who desired to come to the Great Exhibition. The next toast was "'The Chairman and Directors of the York and North Midland Railway Company." Mr. TnomPson, chairman of the co.npany, briefly acknowledged the compliment, but in so low a tone that we could not hear his remarks. The LORD MAYOR, after a few complimentary re marks, proposed " The he a lth of Mr. Paxton,as a toast gentleman to whom the su ccess of the G rea t Indus trial Exhibition would be m a i n l y ow i ng . The was received with cheers. Mr. PAXTON, who Was warmly kind manner in which you have applauded, said— My Lord Mayor, I feel exceedingly flattered by the s , nameedi in In r yewithsphealthe the tfot or ; and lam extremely grateful to l i ' you gentlemen s i t n r i a which lExhi y b o it u jo h l a i veofreilrBOsPno:ded to the toast. t u h r e e m at a l n n n d e u r You havubeen pleased to associate my which I have had the h onour t o p l a y rather a con spicuous part.

I saw that there was great jeop a rdy connected with the whol e undertaking, and see i ng the forcible ar guments put forward ag a inst th e proposed plan of a brick building, I set vigorously to work to endea vour to rescue it, and I never relaxed. or rested an instant until I had succeeded in effecting th e object I had in vi ew .—(Cheers.) I know that the experiment i n s t, c b on ec s a id u e s r e ed t h earegirseactotna single feature in itovelty, but it is no which I have not myself carried out at Chatsworth and other places.—(Hear, hear.) I feel perfectly certain as to the result.—(Hear, hear.) I claim no merit whatever for the plan which I have proposed, for in submitting it I did no more than any other Englishman in similar circumstances would have done.—(Hear, hear.) I sa w there was a diffic u lt y , and I mer e ly came f orwa rd to assist in removing it as far as lay in my power. I believe, my Lord Mayor, that the Exhibition will tend more to the benefit of mankind than any other circumstance that has yet oc. curred in th e hi s t ory o f this country , or perhap s i n the history of the world. My friend . (Sir Fred er i c k Smith) has r e f erre d to the utility- of railways as a means of carrying troops from one place . to anothr ; but I hope, a t l eas t as long as ram a railway direec tor, that we shall rather have to carry the banners of peace than the horrid missiles of war. I feel that in connexion with the E x hibitim . i they will ass i st i n exhibiting our arts, our msnufactures, and ou r ma terial progress.—(Hear, hear.) . I believe, then, th a t this country has done itself the greatest p oss ibl e great people like ourselves, honour in proposing this great undertaking ; an d, g ti l l i l sh oak as it is the first exhibition of the world's industry, sto I hope it will not be the last.—(Hear, hear.)

TIMES.—The letter of Lord John :Russell to the Bishop of Durham, which we publish elsewhere, de serves the deepest attention. It is a clear and uncom promising statement of principles and opinions which are entertained with wonderful unanimity by all the wise and moderate in this country. Sweeping aside with manly vigour the false and sophistical analogies in which the subject has been sought to be en tangled, Lord John Russell points at once to the real merits of the question—the assumption: of authority over her Majesty's subjects and supremacy over her dominions. But treating these empty bravadoes of a petty foreign Prince with comparative contempt, he proceeds to point to the fountain and origin of the evil—the apostasy of a large number of the English clergy, who have prepared the way by secret treason for this open attack upon our Church and Crown. These sentiments, as terse and vigorous as they are wise and true, would command respect from whatever quarter they came, but their importance is infi nitely enhanced when we consider that they are the deliberate opinions of a statesman, the tried friend of toleration, who has now, alas! no equal in knowledge of our Constitution and experience of its working, and whose mind is deeply imbued with the spirit of that ancient limited monarchy which has descended to us alone of all the nations of Europe pure and unimpaired. Still more important is this letter as a solemn pledge given by the head of our Executive Government to the nation, that the two enormous grievances which it points out shall not re main waredreased. If the law be comprehensive enough to reach the offenders, it will be put in force; if not, Lord John Russell still expresses a persuasion, in which all will join, that we are strong enough to repel all outward attacks. Nor can we believe that Lord John Russell has thus publicly and emphatically called attention to the apostasy of many clergymen of our own Church, who are acting within her precincts the part of Roman Catholic Propagandists, and of whose abandon ment of their insidious courses he expresses no hope, merely for the purpose of holding up those persons to obloquy and disgrace, however well merited. We trust we see in these expressions signs of a purpose, not yet perhaps fully matured, but ra pidly growing towards completion—the purpose of cleansing our Church from the discredit cast upon her quite as much by the treachery as by the schism of her members—the purpose of rendering our univer sities something better than schools of Popery and mysticiim—the purpose of restoring to us our Church such as the Reformation gave it to us, the child of light and reason, unclouded by superstition, node graded by priestcrafr, clear and comprehensive in her doctrines, built upon truth, and abhorring falsehood. If Lord John Russell does really entertain such in tentions, we are convinced he may count with confi dence on the support of the English people, who are above all things lovers of truth, and who, though per fectly willing to tolerate any difference of opinion from their own, will not tolerate the domineering spirit which seeks for supremacy because it has been allowed equality, nor the sordid treachery which hides its insidious advances under the mask of a hollow conformity. DAILY WS.—The resignation of the Prus sian Minister, Radowitz, in consequence of his col leagues and his Court refusing to support him in summoning the country to arms and resisting the conditions imposed on Germany by the Czar Nicholas, is as honourable to that statesman as it is disgraceful and annihilating to the Prussian monarchy. The terms dictated by the Czar, however veiled, amount to no less than the sacrifice by Prussia, of all the principles for which she contended, and of all the allies which her previous hardihood encouraged. But for Prussian support, Schleswig and Holstein would never have gone the length they have done. But for the countenance, the attitude, the constitutional words of the Prussian Sovereign, the people at Hesse- Cassel would not have ventured resistance in behalf of their rights, nor its officers resigned as one man. The total desertion of them by Prussia, as well as of the principles of representative Govern ment in Germany, to which so many Princes adhered, will, if definitively consented ,to, be one of the most treacherous, the most infamous and felonious acts ever committed by a Government. From such disgrace General Radowitz has at least washed his hands, by a prompt resignation, one of the first genuinely consti tutional acts of a public man in Prussia. Had he, with equal truth and boldness, observed constitutional principles in his acceptance of office and his manage ment of affairs, he would have avoided the difficulties into which he tell. First of all, his acceptance of office in the midst of a cabinet not true either to him or to the German question, was a fault. Secondly, his in trusting the mission to Warsaw to Count Brandenburg, a connexion of royal houses, and the weakest of cour tiers, was an unpardonable error. Count Brandenburg was in fact tricked and cajoled at Warsaw,where under pretence of ceding the letter of the Prussian demands, the whole spirit of the arrangement went against Prus sian and German interests. Thus, it is said (though n othing is as yet certain) that the temporary arr ange . ment at Warsaw to which Count Brandenburg con• sented was, that for the present Prussia should keep peace and regulate matters in the states of the Union, Austria having equal sway in the states that acknow ledged the Diet. Now, the Princes of Holstein and Hesse, the two countries where constitutional dis putes exist, have certainly sent envoys to the Diet, whilst the states and populations are for the Union. By admitting that the mere voice of the Prince de cided, and that constitutions were nothing, Count Brandenburg gave up every question at issue. And his doing so gave it once to the Bavarians the pretext and apparently the right to invade Hesse, as it gave Hanover at Austrian bidding, the right and the pretext to invade Holstein to-morrow. Against such concessions as these, as well as against the assenting to a compromise on the German question, which must finally render Austria mistress of Ger many, the spirit of Radowitz rose indignant, as did that of the Crown Prince of Prussia ; nay, it is said, the spirit of the King himself. The latter, however, has, we regret to say, laid the sword of the great Frederick at the feet of the Czar. Napoleon ravished that weapon from Potsdam after the battle of Jena ; but he left millions of Prussian hearts burning to re cover it, and but waiting the opportunity to do so. Whilst now Count Brandenburg carries the military honour and the political independence of the King off to Warsaw, and consigns it to the Czar, without one Prussian heaving a sigh for the dishonoured dynasty, or making one vow for its restoration. After all, what is it to the dweller on the Oder, the Elbe, or the Rhine, that the House of Hohenzollern should descend from its kingly, or what is synonymous, its heroic rank, for they were kings of Prussia solely by their heroism ? The race that fills the wide plains which extend south of the Baltic may cease to be Prussian to-morrow, for the name, in fact, exists more in the dynasty than in the nation. If denied honourable and independent existence as Prussians, they can, at least, survive as Germans, and, as such, are as indestructible as the sands which are fertilised by their industry, and which have been ennobled by their blood. The Czar will not have them Germans. He insists on a new empire, more than half made up of Croats and Serbs, and Gallicians and Illyrians, the German and the free elements overgrown and overwhelmed by the Sclavonian and the servile. And to consent to this, to force down the neck of that dy nasty, which represented the old Teutonic franchise and stock, need we say that the house of Hohens zolletn would brand itself with a stigma that not even centuries of heroism could efface ? As to the Teutonic nor, they would not want avengers; they would soon find leaders. For years they have sought just leaders with all trust and humility in the Princes that Providence and fortune had set over them. Most of these have failed, have been worse than wanting, for they have been traitors to the German cause. Are the Germans to be blamed, if their first war cry of the next uprising be the terrific one of war to Princes ? Let us, however, not decide or vaticinate too rashly. We speak as yet upon presumption, s t ro ng indeed, deep fraught with fear and with de spair. For it is not a light or grateful thing, to abandon all hope of a country's .retrieval from its natural chiefs and protectors. Germany might have been saved by its princes and its states men. We have always said so, whilst the democrats with passion denied that it could be so. But if eyents A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign-office, Downing-street. The Ministers present were. Lord John Russell, the Lord Chan cellor, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Minto, Sir deorge Grey, Viscount Palmerston, Earl Grey, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Francis Baring, Sir John Hobhouse, the Earl of Carlisle, the Right Hon. H. Labouchere, the Marquis of Clanricarde, and the Right Hon. Fox Maule. The Council sat two hours and a half. The Marquis of Lansdowne came to town yester day morning to attend the Council, from his seat, Bowood Park, Wilts. _ _ The Earl of Minto arrived in town on Tuesday night, from Minto Castle, Roxburghshire. Lord Seymour returned to town yesterday, from visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle. Mr. J. Lewis Ricardo, M.P., had an interview with Sir George Grey yesterday at the Home•office. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. ADMIRALTY VISIT TO PORTSMOUTH. Rear-Admiral Deans Dundas, C. 8., M.P., Captain Houston Stewart, C.B.,and Captain Sir B. W. Walker, K.C.8., the surveyor f the navy, paid a short official visit to Portsmouth yesterday morning. They arrived on Tuesday evening, and dined with the Rear-Admiral superintendent. After breakfast yesterday morning the board transacted business at the Admiral's office, and then proceeded to the Retribution steam-frigate, Captain Warden, now in dock receiving additional false keel. They were accompanied by the Commander-in-Chief and Admiral Prescott, C. 8., Mr. Fincham, the master ship wright, and other officers of the yard. They then visited and minutely inspected the Hogue, 60, screw steam guardship, Capt. Macdougal, and, accompanied by him, went down below to her engine-room, and also over the other parts of this fine ship. They also, attended by Mr. Hay, chemical assistant, went under her bottom to inspect her sheathing, which, as we stated, appears to be in very excellent preservation, though, as lit has not been on long,; no good judgment can be formed of its durability. Her dockyards repairs will be completed on the 9th instant, but when she will be out of the hands of the engineers seems uncertain, as there is much more to be done than was anticipated. The members of the Admiralty, the port and superintendent admirals, Mr. Fincham, Mr. Murray, and a number of captains and other officers, on leaving the Hogue, repaired to the office of the chemical department to see and inspect a newly-invented motive machine. This engine, or ma chine, has been constructed by Mr. Hay, and will be ap plied as an auxiliary power for propelling line-of-battle ships and frigates, and it is intended to entirely super sede the use of steam and fire, whereby ships will dis pense with coal-bunkers and boilers, which, occupying so much space, often render a man-of-war's armament incomplete, and take away the principal stowage for water and provisions. The machine as yet is in an in complete state, but on the application of the moving power, sufficient satisfaction was afforded to all present; and the Board were so gratified that directions were given that Mr. Hay might have a perfect machine made and practically tested on board the Bee, steamer, when ever he is prepared to carry out his invention. The engine model was on a tolerably large scale, and the power, though very ;active, and unlimited in strength, seemed well under control. The Board, after lunching with Admiral Prescott, left Portsmouth for London, and arrived at the Admiralty last night. THE FRENCH FLEET.—The French fleet got under. weigh in Torbay on Monday, at half-past four P.M., and proceeded to the westward, :wind W.N.W., strong and dirty; and at 4.30 P.m. on Tuesday the fleet were in sight off Plymouth, working down Channel. Mr. William Stewart, resident engineer at Holyhead, is appointed to Devonport Dockyard, vice Mr. William Neil, superannuated. Mr. Stewart is to retain the same salsry he now holds, being 3001. per annum. Bloodhound, iron steamer, has been take❑ down to the jetty at Portsmouth to fit for a temporary tug-boat in lieu of the Echo. undergoing repair. Geyser, steam-sloop. Commander Tatham, has arrived at Devonport from Woolwich, and will sail for Brazils after the arrival of the London post on the 9th. Greenock, iron screw-frigate, at Devonport, is to be tried again. Mr. Hughes, from the Admiralty, is there to witness the trial. Rosamond, steam-sloop, was put out of the basin, yesterday, at Woolwich, and will proceed to I)evonport. Rattlesnake, surveying -vessel, Captain Cockburn, will be paid off at Chatham on the 9th instead of the Bth. Tortoise, lighter, on shore in Carnarvon Bay, was hove off into deep water on Sunday evening. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—The Fantome, 12, has bean brought down from the ordinary and taken into the basin to be masted. She will be commissioned in a few days, to carry the December mail to the coast of Africa. _ _ _ An order was received this morning by Mr. Alexander Beattie, the Ottoman Vice-Consul at this port, informing him of official permission having been granted for the Turkis to Turkish shirp&fit, sno a w nd at re S m pi a t i h n ea n d t p t l o oa c s o u m r e e. into harbour to morrowPLYMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—Her Majesty's steam vessel Geyser arrived on Monday from Woolwich, and went up harbour to coal. _ _ . The Penguin packet c a me in yesterday from Falmouth ;o refit. The crew of ;her Majesty's ship Bellerophon will be pad off to-day, and her Marines will be taken by the Virago steam-vessel to Portsmouth. She will be re commissioned to-morrow by Lord George Paulet. Her Majesty's brig Mariner was unrnasted yesterday; her crew will be paid off to-day at the pay-office in the dock-yard. The crew of the frigate Cambrian will be paid off on Saturday. The frigate Caliope and brigs Pandora and Brito mart are ordered to be commissioned forthwith. The Wasp, screw propeller, steamed in through the Sound between eight and nine o'clock this morning, from Portsmouth. WOOLWICH, Nov. 6.—The Banshee steam-vessel, Master-Commander William Smithett, went down the river yesterday to try her speed at the measured mile in Sea-reach, when only using the two aft out of her four boilers. Mr. Humphrys, Chief Engineer at Woolwich Dockyard, went down in her, and the result was very satisfactory, as sho made an average aped of twelve knots, or 13.827 statute miles per hour in te❑ runs over the measured mile, five up and five down. Three of the runs were made in a very short space of time, but the others were against showing her true speed, as she had to diverge out of the straight line owing to the number of vessels in the river. The Banshee was taken into the basin to-day to be made ready as a packet steam-vessel fur the Mediterranean station. The Buzzard steam-sloop was taken out of the basin to-day, and will leave for Devonport on Friday or Satur day next, in charge of Lieutenant Robertson, with a party of seamen. The Pluto steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Jol liffe, was taken into the basin to-day, preparatory to being paid off on Friday next. IRELAND. ENCUMBEZED ESTATES.

Dickenson, was sold at prices satisfactory to the purchasers. Several small properties in Sligo and Limerick were knocked down at low prices, while for some others the biddings were considered so far below the present market value that the sales were postponed. THE DUBLIN GAZETTE. Mr. Thorn, the compiler of the celebrated Irish Di rectory, has received the contract for printing and publishing the Dublin Gazette, a journal heretofore conducted by the Messrs. Grierson, of this city. A considerable saving will be effected for the public by the transfer. His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant has been pleased to approve of the Lord Dunsany being ap pointed a Deputy Lieutenant for the county of Meath, in the room of Gustavus Lambert, Esq., deceased. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A WATELOO VETERAN. —On Tuesday afternoon an inquest was taken by Mr. li. M. Wakley, at the t rittannia, Camera-street, King's-road, Chelsea, on the body of John Randall, aged eighty-four, a Peninsular and Waterloo veteran. For some years past the deceased has lived under his son's roof, in Camera- street, Chelsea, on a pension of is. per diem, and for the last four months he bad been suffering from un attack of paralysis, which confined him to his room. On Sunday evening an alarm was given that the room was on fire ; and, on his son entering the place, he found the unfortunate deceased lying on the floor close to the fender. The flames were extinguished as quickly as possible, but not before the deceased was frightfully burnt. He died early the following morning. It was conjectured that, in his attempt to stir the fire, the chair on which he was leaning upset, and be fell I against the bars of the grate. Verdict—," Accidental Death. Great fears are entertained for the safety of the Ant schooner, Underwood master, of this port, from Newport, Wales, with coals for Southampton. She sailed from thence on the 22d ult., and has not since been heard of. THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN ST. SAVIOUR'S CHURCH.— On Tuesday evening the service appointed for the anni versary of the Gunpowder Plot was performed at St. Saviour's, Southwark, when every part of that spacious edifice was most densely crowded. The sermon was preached by the Rev. W. Curling, one of the chaplains, from the 3d Epistle of St. John, v. 9, 10; it oceupied one hour and a half in its delivery, and was listened to with the most sedulous attention to the end. The ser mon produced a great sensation, and when the congre gation arose to leave the church at the cluse of the ser mon, the organ began to play the air of the National Anthem, upon which the congregation suddenly com menced the words, and sung two verses with great en• thusiasm. Mr. Curling then succeeded in procuring a pause, antl remarked that as some expressions in the remaining verses were not quite befitting the sanctity of the place, they had better substitute the Doxology. The organ then began to play " The old hundredth," and the people sang " Praise God from whom all blessings How," with a fervour and universality that evinced their cordial concurrence in the suggestions of their pastor. The immense concourse then separated. DOVER, WEDNESDAY.—.There was great excitement' in this town yesterday, the designs of the Bishop of Ronie having induced a more than ordinary demonstra tion of good old English Protestant feeling on the anni versary of the Gunpowder Plot. Effigies of the Pope and his cardinal, dressed in showy and grotesque scarlet apparel, were stuck up in a waggon, and driven about by a particular black friend of theirs. After being paraded about the streets, amidst the cheering and scof fing of a well-pleased multitude, " his Holiness" was taken out to sea, where, his conscience being heavier than his body, he wallowed about in the water for some time, and at length departed to the regions below. The cardinal was not born to be drowned; " his Lordship" was reserved for another fate, and in the evening ex piated his sins of omission and commission in a bonfire, in the presence of a great concourse of people. HEREFORD.—The usual preparations were made in this city to commemorate the day and to give " Mister Guy's" representative a warm reception. Squibs, crackers, and other fusible missiles, have been in great requisition, and no sooner had the shades of evening closed over the Castle-green than numberless " half penny fires" were set going. A capital effigy was pre pared as usual (lantern and candle of course included), and a pile of a hundred faggots erected whereon it was placed, in traitorial dignity, and burnt to ashes. _ _ _ LIVERPOOL.—The -- annual commemoration of the Gunpowder Plot was this year observed with increased eclat. Several of the established clergy had Divine ser vice performed in their churches both morning and evening. Dr. M'Neile preached from these words, " What mean ye by this service?" . . Gumnroup.—An effigy of the Popo and his Arch bishop of Westminster was burnt in this town on the sth of November. A placard, with the following in scription, was placed on the breast of" his Holiness:"-; " We, Pope Pius IX. and St, Impudentia, our Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster (whose evil counsel has brought both us and him to this untimely end), are doomed to be burnt this evening, November 5, 1350." THE FRENCH FLEET. PLYMOUTH, WEDNESDAY FORENOON. - Mr. Joel Trelwen, pilot in the James and Elizabeth, reports that at half•past four o'clock yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon he saw the French flvet seven miles west-south-west of the Bolt, reaching in. Their topgallant-masts were struck, and they were under reefed topsails; no jibs; in soma the courses were sat; in others, hnultd up, and one had her main-yard backed so as to keep in rota tion. The fleet consisted of six full-rigged ships and a steamer, the Admiral a-head, and the steamer, brig rigged,wstern._ Mr. Spicer, of tho Red Rover, fishing-smack, reports that Nt half- past fire o'clock the fleet, six sail, were tolerably close together, about 2 miles to the eastward of this harbour, between the Bold and the Mewstone. They were under reefed topsails, and had their alarhoArd tacks aboard, with their heads to the southward. Wind, north north-west, fine breeze.

After having exhausted its rage upon the men by goring them to the extent mentioned, it turned into Chapel -street, Somers Town, where it rushed at a poor wo man named Margaret Carron, who had her infant in her arms. The beast butted the woman most frightfully, tearing her leg open right up to the hip. As soon as the ox was got away from her she was p aced, insensible and apparently dying, in a hackney coach, and conveyed to the University College Hospital, where the house physician pronounced the wounds to be most dangerous. Strange to say the infant escaped uninjured. After quitting the woman the animal rushed at a boy, whom it likewise severely lacerated. Ulti mately, a brave cabman, mounting his cab, headed the crowd that pursue i the ox. and succeeded in driving it within the railings in the front of Mr. Scadding's house, the parish soli citor, where it was secured by ropes, and carried off by the people, aided by the police, to a yard in the neighbourhood, where it will be kept until its owner is found out.
