So far from the present Earl or his ancestors having misapplied the money, from documents now ex isting, and from the testimony of persons who were still living, there could be no doubt whatever that Lord Dar-- mouth and his ancestors had regularly paid this sure of 201. to the vicar of Lewisham, and yet his Lordship was stigmatised by this paper as a scoundrel, and accused of having been guilty of that which would have sent many men to the Old Bailey. His Lordship, therefore, being naturally care ful of his own honour and the memory cf his ancestors, claimed the protection of this Court against his syste matic calumniator; and, without going into the question of whether the pre,ent mode of csrry ing out the pious intentions of the founder ef the fund was more beneficial to the inhabitants of Blackheath than was on ginally contemplated, what the Court had to consider was simply whether it would allow a nobleman to be stiginatizea iu this way upon such flimsy grounds and pretences, or whether it would interpose its protec tion and grant him this remedy of a criminal infor mation. DR. CUMMING ON THE PAPAL AGGRESSION. reverence and homage due to the Queen, as the purest, noblest, and most-beloved Sovereign who ever swayed I the sceptre.—(Loud cheers.) e are only at the commencement of a great crisis. The thin edge of the wedge has been introduced. Let us not look behind us to see what numbers follow to encourage us, nor before us to see what numbers are opposed, to frighten us. If we are told, as Luther was told, that the whole world is against us, let your reply be, " England against the whole world."—(Cheers.) Protestantism may be accused of being yielding in little things, but in great things it is like the old British oak which grows in the old British soil, its gnarled roots interwoven with the everlasting rock, which lifts its proud head aloft careless whether the storm cloud breaks over its boughs, or the sunshine smiles upon its leaves, equally prepared to meet the one, or to be refreshed and delighted by the other. If such be our Protestantism, then all the bulls the car dinal ca❑ bring from the arsenal of Rome, and all the weapons which Jesuitism can wield against us will fall in splinters at its root, or hang in its branches 83 proof of Rome's impotence, and trophies of English strength, and of the stabiltiy of our throne, and the might of our Queen.—(Loud cheers.) The meeting then separated, after singing the National Anthem. Yesterday Dr. Cumming delivered his second lec ture on the above subject, at the Hanover-square Rooms. The large room was as densely crowded as on the first lecture, and similar enthusiasm was manifested by those present. Admiral HARCOURT presided, and having briefly adverted to the gravity of the present ciisis, and urged the necessity of a united effort en the part of Protes tants of all denominations to repel the encroachments of the Romish Church, Dr. CUMMING came forward, and was received with tremendous cheering. The following is necessarily but a brief sketch of the Reverend Doctor's address, which occupied upwards of two hours in its delivery. He first referred to the sermon delivered by Bishop Doyle, in the Roman Catholic Cathedral, St. George's, Southwark. In that sermon he found the following words :—" Among other things, they have spoken of an oath, which they assert every cardinal,t upon his appointment, takes before the Sovereign Pontiff." Now, his remark was, that he presumed the cardinal, when he was made an archbishop, received the pallium, and after receiving the pallium he repeated a solemn oath. He did not say that Dr. Wiseman had taken that oath on his appointment as cardinal ; but that he had taken that oath on being consecrated as an archbishop, which oath he had taken before on being made a bishop. Bishop Doyle, however, declared that the accusation was a falsehood, that no such oath was taken ; and, he added, "there is an oath taken by a bishop, and he promises in that oath to pursue and combat error, and uphold the sacred doctrines of the church." Dr. Doyle also went on to say, " They talk of the edict of Queen Mary, and lay it at the door of the Catholic• Church. . . . On the very day that that edict was sent forth, that great, and good, and fearless friar, Alphonse de Castro, de nounced it as most intolerant, unjust, and in every degree opposed to the glorious principles and spirit of our holy religion. That fearless man, in the name of the church, opposed the acts of many as opposed to the church, and it is the same church now as in the day that De Castro defended it." He (Dr. Cumming) would first speak of the oath. Of course, if they wished to ascertain the form of consecrating a bishop in the English Church, they would look to the Prayer Book in which that form was ebntained, and the same with regard to any other church having certain recognized and authorized forms, they would look to those forms, and would naturally expect that every portion of any such form was essential, and not to be omitted. Accordingly he had turned to the Pontificale Romanum, or that book, according to which every bishop in the Roman Catholic Church must be consecrated, every arch bishop receive the pallium, and every priest he or dained. It was used on the authority of two Popes, Clement VIII. and Urban VIII. To show its value and weight he would read a single sentence from the bull of Clement VIII., prefixed to the book : " Resolved that the aforesaid Pontificale Romanum shall in no part be changed ; that nothing shall be added to it, and that nothing shall be subtracted from." Again, the bull of Pope Urban, referring to the same, says " This is not to be added to, changed, or detracted from, and whosoever shall perform sacred offices are bound to observe it, and those who do not have not observed the conditions or duties thereto attached." Now, that:book, which two Popes had said was not to be "changed, added to, or sub tracted from," contained the following oath, "to be taken by archbishops on receiving the pallium" The Latin form of the oath was—".Hereticos. schismaticos, et rebelles, Domino Nostro, vel successoribus prcedictis, pro posse, persequar et impugnabo." That was— " The heretics, schismatics, and rebels against our Lord (the Pope), or his aforesaid successors, I will combat and attack to the utmost of my power." In order to ascertain whether his translation was correct, be had turned to a sermon by Canon Wordsworth, and there he found it, "to the utmost of my power will persecute and wage war against heretics and schismatics." Dr. Burgess, the rector of Chelsea, said that, to enable Englishmen better to understand it, the translation should be, " I will persecute and pitch into."—(Laughter and cheers.) Lest it should be said he was quoting from an obsolete book, he bad obtained an edition of the same work, published at Mechlin in 1845, and there he found the oath given pre cisely as in the edition he had first quoted, of 1627. To the edition of 1845 there was prefixed a bull of Pope Benedict XIV., in which the work was called Mr. Justice PATTESON—YoII may take a rule. Buie nisi accordingly. COURT CIRC ULAR. WINDSOR, Nov. 21. To-day was the birth-day of her Royal Highness the Princess Royal. In the morning the band of the Royal Regiment of Horse Guards attended at the Castle, and performed a serenade. The following was the programme of the music : MANSION-HOUSE. DAY Mr. Ballantine appeared before the Lord Mayor for Messrs. Btlfour and Co., hipb:ukers and agents, Mitre Chambers, Fenchurch-street, who were summoned before the Lord Mayor to answer any charge which might be brought against them in connexion with the case of the captain of the Abyssinia, who was last week com mitted to prison in consequence of his conduct towards 65 Frenchmen who had taken a passage on board his ship fur California. Spanish Quick Step.. Strauss. Overture—Air the theme " God save the Queen" Waltz—" Fairest of the Fair" Selection—" Maid of Honour" .. Belie. The serenade concluded with " God save the Queen." The Queen and Prince Albert walked this morning in the Slopes and Windsor Park. The Royal Family took walking and pony exercise in the grounds around the Castle. The Royal dinner party in the Castle this evening will include her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, the Lady in Waiting on the Duchess of Kent, (Lady Fanny Howard), Baroness de Speth, Major- General Wemys!, Lieutenant-Colonel Hon., C. 8., and Mrs. Phipps, Colonel Hon. Charles Grey, Sir George and Lady Couper, Mr. Birch, and Mr. Glover. Her Majesty's private band will attend after dinner at the Castle. Mr. Humphreys appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Openheity, of the French Embassy, and Lieutenant Lean, agent for the Emigration Society, were in attendance. Mr. Ballantine applied for a remand. His clients, though they felt themselves free from all blame in this matter, wera not unwilling to do something for the relief of the unfortunate sufferer?, and if, as it was to be feared, many of them were in a state of destitution, they would be quite ready to support them until some settle ment should be made. The LORD MAYOR said that he was determined that these poor wen should h3ve as full justice done to them as if they had been English. He would therefore consent to this arrangement with that view. The case was then remanded fur ten days. MARLBRO'-sTitEET.-(THISDAY.) A DRUNKEN BARRIBTER.—Edward Innes Pocock, who described himself as a barrister, residing at 29, Lincoln's Inn-fields, was brought before Mr. ilardwiek charged with bring drunk and incapable of taking care of himself. Mr. Headlam and Mr. Saville Ogle had an inter view with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yester day, at his official residence in Downing -street. A deputation from the Local Marine Board, con sisting of Mr. Duncan Dunbar (Chairman), Mr. Anthony Ridley (Deputy-Chairman), Mr. Edward Yardley, Mr. Henry Green, and Mr. W. S. Lindsay, had an interview with the Right Honourable Henry Labouchere yesterday, at the office of the Board of Trade. Police-constable 68 C stated that about six o'clock last night ho was on duty in Oxford-street, when his attention was called to the defendant, who was very drunk, having an altercation with a cabman. A crowd of the lowest class surrounded bim, and as ho seemed to have a deal of valuable property about him, witness for his (defendant's) safety took him into custody and con veyed him to the station. _ _ Inspector Parkes,,, C division, said he was on duty at the pulice station when the defendant was brought in. He was extremely violent, and tried to break his own arm on the iron bar of the dock; and he, no doubt, would have done so had he (the inspector) not pre vented him. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England had a general meeting yesterday, at their office in White hall- place. Sir Thomas Fremantle, Chairman of 'the Customs, had an interview yesterday with the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Lord Monteagle and Sir Alexander Spearman (Secretary and Comptroller-General to the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt), had also interviews with the Right Hon. Baronet yesterday. Dispatches from the Governors of Van Diemen's Land and New Zealand were received yesterday at the Colonial Office. The defendant did not make any reply to the charge. Mr. HARDwics said it was highly disgraceful to see a person of defendant's appearance in such a position. He ought to be extremely cautious how he indulged in liquor for the future, or his violent and insane conduct might, in some hasty and indiscreet moment, cause him to commit some act which would subject himself to be transported for life. With these remarks, he (Mr. Hard- wick) should now discharge him. MISS WHEATLEY'S SOIREE MUSICAL, This interesting event took place yesterday at Exeter-hall, and we rejoice to say that, in spite of this the dead season of the year, and the powerful attrac tions of the National Concerts on the one hand, end Jullien's popular musical entertainments on the other, a numerous and fasionable audience filled the lower hall, and were highly gratified by the selection of the morgeau, and their effective execution by talented performers, among whom we were delighted to find several artistes bearing full and complete tes timony to the success of the Royal Academy of Music. But though it would afford us the highest possible satisfaction to dilate upon the good taste and first-rate abilities of all the artistes engaged—though we would gladly notice, with due encomium, the opening terzetto by Miss Clari Fraser, Miss Ellen Lyon, and Miss Owen, a cavatina and other songs by Miss E. Lyon, two songs sweetly sung by Mr. Rafter, two songs and duets by Mr. F. Bodda, a duet, in which Mr. Saynor accompanied Miss Lyon cn the flute, and which enabled us to test the powers of Mr. Clinton's admir able alterations in the flute, a grand fantasia on the harp by Mr. W. Leyland, and others, too long to enumerate; yet we feel in duty hound to say that the palm of the evening was fairly gained by the young and talented benviciare, who displayed upon two different instruments such consummate skill and power as to command the admiration of all present, while she conciliated their good-will and sympathy by her firm yet modest bearing, and the total absence of all assumption ; we will even confess that she made a convert of us, who had hitherto deemed the ♦iolin an instrument little fitted fur her sex, and we shall in future hardly venture to express this, our old opinion, being compelled to admit that nothing can exceed the sweetness and correctness of her tones, and her mastery over the difficulties of that difficult instru ment. It is but justice to say that she was admirably seconded by her brother, Mr. 11. Wheatley, who con ducted on the occasion, and was throughout a host in himself. We scarcely know whether most to con gratulate that talented family on their success, or their friends on the gratification they derived from yesterday's entertainment, which being, we believe, intended to be an annual one, we will with satisfac tion look for again next year. "This our pontificale restorer and reformer," and i was " cominanded to be observed by all the Churches of the world." That " Restorer and Reformer" pon tificale contained the very same oath, in the same words, which he had quoted, and which was enjoined to be taken by all archbishops on receiving the pallium. What was the natural inference from ail this ? Why, that Cardinal Wiseman on being made Archbishop of Westminster did swear—for two bulls of the un- changeable Church of Rome commanded that nothing was to be "changed, added, or subtracted" in this form of consecration—that he would " persecute and attack heretics to the utmost of his power." He would now call their attention to the following letter which only that morning be had received from Car dinal Wiseman's secretary. It had been originally sent to the Times, but not having been inserted in that paper, the Cardinal had directed it to be sent to him (Dr. Cumming) : " St. George's, Southwark, Nov. 19. " Sir,—Dr. Cumming, in his latter in your paper of to-day, gives an extract from the oath taken by bishops and archbishops, copied from the' Pontifical,' printed at Antwerp in 1627, and states, I presume, that Cardinal Wiseman, on receiving the pallium, took that oath.' To prevent further misunderstanding, I have the Cardinal's permission to state to you that, by a rescript of Pope Pius VII., dated April 12, 1818, the clause quoted by the Rev. Doctor, and so subject to misunderstanding, is omitted by all bishops and archbishops who are subject to the British Crown. " The authorised copy, now lying before ints, used by our bishops is headed— " 6 FORMA JIIRAMENTI. " Pro Episcopis et Vicariis Apostolicis Episcopali ignitate piwditis, qui in locis Magrra!Britann-m subjec is versantur, pmscripta a SS. Pio P. VII., die 12 Apri- Ls, 1818.' THE NEW SMALL Pox HOSPITAL.—The old build ing belonging to this charity at King's Cross having been razed, in consequence of the site being required for th e G rea t Nor thern Railway, an eligible, picturesque, and healthful spot on the south- western side of Highgate-hill was procured, whereon to erect a new edifice, which has been recentlycompleted, with the exception of the lodges and approaches. The style is Italian, with 1 usticated stone coigns and dressings, from a design by S.W. Daukes, Esq., architect. Its extreme length is 218 feet, exhibiting in the south or grand front a noble portico, supported by proportionate and tasteful wings. In the rear are buildings for various domestic purposes, and the internal fittings and arrangements are of the best and most convenient kind, with a due regard to economy. They comprise spacious acute, delirious, and con valescent wards for the accommodation of about eighty patients of both sexes, with surgeons, physicians, and secretaries' rooms, &c., with lava tories, baths, and other offices; also an ingenious ascending floor fur the use of new patients who are unable to ascend to the wards. The corridors, passages, and great part of the lower a d upper floors are laid with Orsi and Armani's patent metallic lava, and an ornamental kind of the same material forms the floor of the vestibule or entrance-hall (which is 25 feet by 20 feet). The metallic lava is impervious to moisture, and the ornamental portion, which resembles tes sellated pavement, has a pleasing and elegant effect. The whole building has been constructed in the best style by Messrs. T. and W. Piper, the builders ; and the grounds within which it stands, consisting of about seven acres, are appropri ately and tastefully laid out. "I❑ the copy of the Pontifical,' kept at the Episco pal residence in Golden-square—the copy, perhaps, ge nerally used in consecrations of bishops in England—the sentence is cancelled. Dr. Cumming is at liberty to in spect this, if he will arrange with me for that purpose. " When Cardinal Wiseman was consecrated bishop in Rome, i❑ 1840, he took the English form of oath. On receiving the at which ceremony I assisted, his Eminence took no oath, cardinals being exempt. he been required to do so, he would no doubt have repeated the same form.—l am, sir, your obedient ser vant, " FRANCIS SEARLE." Why, what laws have these men ? Here is a so• lemn ceremony commanded to -be observed by the formal bulls ef their Popes, and not to be departed from, and yet Cardinal Wiseman was exempted. Urban VIII. and Benedict XIV. said nothing must be added or subtracted ; Gregory XVI. and Pius IX say, "Anything may be added which Bishop Wiseman likes; anything may be taken away, chop it and change, and treat it in any way that will suit the British Crown and the British people."—(Cheers.) After some further remarks on the inconsistent state. ments made by Dr. Doyle and Dr. Wiseman with reference to this oath, Dr. Cumming next quoted at great length from the works of Alphonse de Castro, to show the nature of the principles upheld by him, and which had been cited by Dr. Doyle as the same which still animated the Church of Rome. In one of his works he recommended the putting to death of heretics as a salutary and commendable proceeding, and enumerates. various methods of execution, such as casting them bound into rivers, plunging them into boiling oil or burning, and he concludes by saying, " We have shown plainly that heretics may be put to death ; but in what manner is of little consequence, for whatever way be taken to put them to death, it is always for the good of the Church, for a nuisance is removed." Elsewhere De Castro contends that the Pope has the power of deposing heretic kings, and re leasing their subjects from their fealty and allegiance; further, also, he said that if the people were heretic as well as their sovereign, then the Pope had the right of appointing a king over that nation. Those were the doctrines laid down by the man whom Dr. Doyle held up as the representative of the principles of the Roman Church of to-day.—(Hear, hear.) After re ferring at very great lengthto the doctrines laid down by the canons of the Romish Church to show that that Church claimed temporal as well as spiritual authority, and that the Roman bishops in England were bound to make their fealty to the Queen subordinate to their fealty the Pope, Dr. Cumming proceeded to examine the duties imposed on the Roman Catholic clergy by their canon law, which Dr. Wiseman stated was now to be introduced into England. According to that law, Dr. Wiseman and his bishops were bound to use their best endeavours to exterminate heresy, even— where they had the power—by confiscation, irnpri• sonment, or death. That was the law which Car dinal Wiseman and Bishop Doyle were seeking to lifrequently m e stablishinEngland.—(Hear, hear.) Dr. Cumming t c h o e nc f l o u n d o e w d i a ng ve te r r yl earne d and eloquent address, which was interrupteds:_lodbraywbiuearstsmoyf remarks applau o se t ,in a close, I am bound to state that I believe the Roman Catholic laity do not profess to hold the principles of the canon law or the dogmas of Popery, as I have laid them down. They are bound to accept them as taught by their spiritual superiors, but as it was once said, " There are many Christians in the Church of Rome in spite of it," so I believe there are many Roman Catholic laymen in the servitude and bondage of the priesthood, who are loyal sut jects in spite of that. My charge against Cardinal Wiseman is not that, as Vicar Apostolic, he has been teaching certain dogmas, but that he has brought with him the missive of a foreign Prince assuming power and jurisdiction in this land, and that he supports and advises those principles which tend to undermine the loyalty of our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects, and injure the EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT THE BLACKWALL RAlL WAY.—Yesterday information was received at all the stations of the metropolitan police, from the City police, of the follow ing robbery at the offices of the Blackwell Railway, Fen church-street, between the hours of half-past Ave o'clock on Tuesday evening and ten o'clock on Wednesday morning. A safe in the office, which is on the ground floor, was opened by some means not explained, and a 51. note, with 230 Bove- Tpj,g,,,, and aol. nrsaver, was stolen therefrom. DISCOVERY OF A LEAD MINE NEAR GALWAY.— About a mile distant from this town, at Salt•hill, there were a number of cabins on the roadside, all of which have been thrown down some time since by order of the landlord, a Mr. Jones, of Dublin, who holds those lands under the War den of Galway. Some of the peasantry, being lately employed in clearing one of the foundations, discovered what they thought to be a quantity of silver ore mixed with the stone. The story soon spread ; a number of the country people came and commenced operations in their rude way, of course quite unproductive. A captain of a mining company, at Scariff, was sent for, who came and examined the mine or ore, and declared it an excellent rich lead mine, taking samples of it to Dublin, where he is now in treaty with Mr. Jones. While the captain was here, samples of lead ore from Outerard were shown him that is now being raised on the lands of Mr. O'Flaherty.— Galway Mercury. EFFECTS OF LORD FEILDING'S CA SUISTRY. We are happy to learn that the publication of Lord Feilding's correspondence with the Bishop of St. Asaph has bee n at tended with the happiest results fcr the interests of the Pro testant Church in the parishes of Whitford and Holywell. In less than a week from the appearance of that correspon dence upwards of 1,9001. have been promised towards the erection of a church in the district, and the following names, selected from the first list of subscribers will show that the nobility and gentry of the principality are resolved to mark their sense of his Lordship's conduct by liberal contributions in aid of the edifice which is destined to counteract the bane ful effects of Papistical teaching : Mr. Pennant, 500/ ; the Marquis of Westminster, 100/. ; the Marchioness of Down shire, 100/. ; Earl Howe, 100/. ; Lord Dinorben, 100/. ; the Bishop of St. Asaph, 1001.; the Miss Luxmoores, 100/. ; Mr. John Day, 100/. ; the Rev.

I 'THE FLYING DUTCHMAN AND VOLTIGEUR.—AS there has been a rumour abroad that an offer had been made to match Voltigeur against The Flying Dutchman, which had been declined, we have authority (says the York Herald) to state that Lord Eglinton is open to make a match between The Flying Dutchman and Voltigeur. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 22, 1850. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—Is the division of England into Roman Catholic bishoprics within the letter of the law ? Is it the legitimate and perfect development of the Ro -1 man Catholic religion as a system ? Does it trench on any one's rights ? These are the three questions upon which, according to Drs. Wiseman, Newman, and Bowyer, the merits of the question now at issue between the Pope and the people of England de pend ; and they answer them accordingly. Now, as to the first, we have never been referred by any one to any law of this country the letter of which has been infringed by the Pope or his emissaries. Our whole conduct has been inconsistent with such a belief. Had we thought that what has been done could be redressed by the jurisdiction of our ordinary tribu nals, we should never have dreamt of invading the functions of a jury and rousing the indignation of the public against persons in the unfortunate position of State criminals ; it is because we believe there is, at present, no bar, save that of public opinion, at which these bold men can be arraigned that we devote our columns to the exposure of their falla cies and the resistance of their aggressions. We are therefore quite willing to concede to Dr. Wise man that his ingenious evasion of the Emancipation Act may avail him at the Old Bailey; and that the clause which forbids the assumption of the titles of English bishops by Roman Catholics would not in a criminal case be held to extend to titles newly coined in the Papal mint of honour. We also concede that the Roman Catholics are not bound to acknowledge the Queen's supremacy in spiritual matters, and we have no objection to allow that the Roman Catholic religion in Ps high and palmy state requires a terri torial dominion, co-extensive and co-equal with the land it inhabits; but surely the admission of all this, which is all that the Cardinal and his two doctors have proved or attempted to prove, goes no way at all towards establishing that the indignation of the people of England is unjust, that their jealousy is unfounded, or that their grievances are imaginary. All that has been propounded by these learned personages was perfectly well known to every speaker and writer of the most ordinary intelligence who has taken part in the discussion which the rashness and insolence of a few ambitious ecclesiastics have in an evil hour for themselves forced upon us. The people of England regard this question neither from the legal or Old Bailey point of view, nor yet with the eyes of those one-sided reasoners who can see nothing but the de velopment of their own faith. It is on national, on loyal, on constitutional grounds that they take their stand. The Church of England is not merely a voluntary association, enjoying peculiar privileges, as Dr. Wiseman insinuates ; it is a part, and an in tegral part, of the ancient Constitution of this coun try. The Sovereign is and must be its head ; it is fully represented in the highest court of judicature ; and though it tolerates the widest dissent from its opinions, it is only on condition that no act shall be done subversive of its temporal or spiritual pre eminence. Within these limits Roman Catholics and Dissenters are at liberty to develope their own systems as fully as they please. If the letter of the law suffer them to go beyond this, they cannot avail themselves of it without infringing the spirit and genius of our institutions, and arousing the just sus ceptibilities of the nation, which, when its will is once deliberately matur e d and clearly expressed, is as little disposed to tolerate evasion or permit disobe dience as the successor of St. Peter himself. 'We might be well content to rest our answer here, satis fied with pointing out that to invade the spiritual jurisdiction of the Established Church under a claim not merely of co-ordinate but of paramount spiritual authority derived from a foreign prince is not merely an attack upon a rival sect, but an aggression on the Crown and Constitution of these realms, because of that Church th e C rown i s th e h ea d , of that Con stitution the Church is a part. Bat the case does not rest here. The Roman Catholics have not, that we are aware, violated the law, but they have evaeed it; they have the letter on their side; the people who made the law have the spirit on theirs. And what is that law ? It is the Emancipation Act of 1829,w0n for them against unparalleled difficulties by the generous exertions of the members of that very Church which they are cajoling,betraying, and invading —in a breath, it is the charter of their political liberties and spiritual freedom which they now seek to elude and undermine by all the arts of sophistry and chi canery. Either the Emancipation Act was a boon conceded to a suffering class of her Majesty's subjects by the grace and favour of the British people, or it was a great act of national reconciliation—a solemn compact between the Protestant majority and the Catholic minority, by which, in consideration of the removal of all civil disabilities, the Roman Catholics covenanted so to use the spiritual liberty which was granted them as not to infringe upon the temporal or spiritual rights of others. Mr. Bowyer in his pamphlet admits that the relations which, according to the law of the land, the Roman Catholics bear to the See of Rome clearly appear from the oath contained in the Roman Catholic Emancipation Act—in other words, that this oath fairly embodies the understanding as to the conduct and dispositions of the Roman Catholics upon which this Act was passed. The words he quotes are the following : " And I do further declare, that it is not an article of my faith, end that I do renounce, reject, and abjure the opinion, that princes excommunica , ed or deprived by the Pope, or any other authority of the See of Rome, may be deposed or murdered by their subjects, or by any other person whatsoever. And Ido declare that Idu not believe that the Popo of Rome, or any other foreign prince, prelate, person, state, or potentate bath, or ought to have, any temporal or civil jurisdiction, power, supe riority, or pre-eminence directly or indirectly within this realm." Thus far Mr. Bowyer. We request our readers to attend to the sequel of the oath, which, for obvious reasons, he has not thought fit to insert : " I do swear that I will defend to the utrngst of my power the settlement of property within this realm, as established by the laws. And I do hereby disclaim, disavow, and solemnly abjure any intention to subvert the present Church establishment, as settled by law within this realm. And I do solemnly swear that I never will exercise any privilege to which I am or may become entitled to disturb or weaken the Protestant religion or Protestant Government in the United Kingdom." The question, then, is reduced to a very narrow issue. This oath, by the admission of Mr. Bowyer, contains the relation of the Roman Catholics to the See of Rome, and therefore, by necessary conse quence, to the Church and State of England. 13 toe Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, with his territorial jurisdiction without personal limitation, true to the terms and spirit of this contract ? Is not the conferring of titles of honour—purely spiritual honour, it he please—by the Pope at least indirectly an act of civil pre-eminence within this realm ? Does the Roman Catholic ecclesiastic who assumes the primacy of England for the See of Westminster without limitation or qualification, and therefore to the exclusion of the present primate, do his utmost to defend the settlement of Church pro perty within this realm, or is he not palpably the aggressor against whom it must be defended ? Is it no disturbance of the Protestant religion or Govern.. ment of this realm of England to establish in it an hierarchy co-extensive, co-equal, co-ordinate with the Protestant hierarchy, which, as far as words and pro fessions can go, is wholly ignored and set aside ? Is it to strengthen or to weaken the Protestant religion that, according to Dr. Wiseman's own statement, this step has been taken ? His words are, " Many minds allowed themselves to be influenced by the ap parent advantage of ecclesiastical position on the other side." It was, then, to create a state of things upon which A controversial argument to weaken the case of the Church of England as against the Church of Rome might be founded that this change, according to the evidence of its promoter, negotiator, and defender, was made. Most true, Dr. Wiseman disclaims any but spiritual jurisdiction, and in a spirit of arrogant hu muility and insolent self-abasement expresses his willingness to leave the temporalities of the English Church to their present possessors, provided he be allowed, holy and humble that be is, to pursue his noiseless and unobtrusive ministry amid the poor and afflicted. Surely here is a little confusion between giving and taking. The Pope gives all, spiritual and temporal, without restriction or qualification. The Cardinal takes exactly as much as he can get. We have little reason to thank him for his moderation. The grapes are sour; but if he be indeed a faith ful representative of that Church which sold the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the license to commit sin, which has ever regarded its spiritual claims as mere means and appliances to its temporal aggran dizement, and which surfeited on the plunder of Christendom till the human mind, even in the days of its darkness, rose up against its insatiable avarice, he will not, longer than he is absolutely obliged, content his appetite with hungry spiritualities. It would be as reasonable for a privateer which sheers off from a vessel it dares not attack to deny possession of a letter of marque as for the Cardinal Archbishop of West minster, with the full commission of the Pop e t o clutch all he can in his pocket, to affect a contempt for the temporalities of the Church of England. We may be well assured that if he be reduced to the state of primitive simplicity of which he boasts, it is not because a Roman Catholic ecclesiastic desires little, but because we will nut give more. Praise makes a wise man modest, a fool arrogant. —Eliza Codes Journal. THE LATE MYSTERIOUS DEATH IN A CAB.—Yes terdav Mr. 11. M. Wakley concluded the adjourned inquest on the body of a gentleman who was found dead in a cab, which has since been identified as that of Mr. John George Somes, a surgeon, aged 33, practising in Hungerford. No additional facts were elicited beyond those already published. Mr. Joseph Clover having deposed that he found in the de ceased's stomach a sufficient quantity of prussic acid to cause instant death, and which witness presumed deceased took whilst in the cab, the jury, after soma deliberation, returned the following verdict: - " That deceased committed suicide in a cab ; hut there is no evidence of the state of his mind at the time." SOCIETY OF ARTS. On Wednesday the first of a series of annual exhi bitions, intended to illustrate the state and progress of inventions, was opened in the rooms of this useful society ; this exhibition consisted of articles invented, patented, or registered since the commencement of 1849. "[lcon the eve of the opening of the National Exhibition of 1851, of the British department of which this may be said to be a miniature representation, it could hardly be expected that the whole, or indeed the more important of recent inventions should be found within the walls of the Society of Arts ; yet still, sufficient has been achieved to show the spirit of enterprise that is abroad, and evidence the interest which is taken in the society by the manufacturers and inventors of this country. It is not our intention in any way to give a catalogue raison& of the various articles contained within the exhibition, of which there are 216, but we may briefly allude to a few of them. In the first section, railways, &c., we find a model of Barlow's permanent iron way, the merits of which we have more than once brought prominently under the notice of our readers; and improvements in rail way axles and axle- boxes, by Mr. Bar rens, to prevent the rapid lateral wear of the brasses, the waste of grease, and the access of dust to the axles, which, though excellent in their design, do not appear to effect the object more efficiently than Mr. Normanville had previously done by his patent axle-boxes. Passing over the improve ments in the steam-engine, in lamps, in baths, &c., of which there are very many specimens in the exhi bition, we come to an improvement in the mode of constructing carriage steps, by Mr. Davies. By this construction the steps, which are folded up beneath the carriage, open out like what are commonly called by ladies lazy tongs, with the opening of the door, and again fold up in their former position, so as not to interfere with the interior of the carriage upon the door being closed. This is really a great improve ment for those who can afford the luxury of a carriage, and will no doubt be extensively adopted. There are likewise exhibited musical instruments, agricul tural and horticultural implements, fabrics, articles of dress, &c., though there are very few specimens under this latter head, the most interesting and deserving of notice being the bisunique cloth, patented by Mr. S. Powell, which possesses two sides, each of a different colour and surface, by which the use of linings may be superseded. In this department of the exhibition there are also ladies' polka jackets, Roman togas, &c., on the merits of which we do not presume to give an opinion, although we can assure our readers that the exhibition will well repay a visit, as marking the progress of invention, and a type of what we may ex pect to see next year. At the evening meeting of the society, Mr. J. H. Murchison delivered an address on the rise and pro gress of the society, and its influence on British arts and manufactures, from the time it was first formed through the instrumentality of Mr. Shirley, under the patronage of Lords Folkestone and Romney, in 1754, up to the present day, tracing it year by year from the time when it originally met at a coffe-house in Henrietta-street, through its various phases and offices, in Crane. court, Fleet-street; Peele s Coffee-house, where the first prizes were distributed; Craig's-court, Charing-cross—till it settled down in its present abiding place in the Adelphi, the great lecture-room of which is so magnificently adorned by the genius of Barry—and even showing what has been done for the advancement of arts, manufactures, and commerce, by the exhibitions of the last two or three years, paving the way, as it were, for the National Exhibition o next year. Although Mr. Murchison's address dea with in immense mass of statistical matter, it could not fail to be interesting to the members, as proving that the society has never been slow to perceive and reward merit—its prizes having been several times won by mere children, who as men have afterwards become the brightest ornaments of art. Amongst those who in their youth obtained prizes from the society may be mentioned Nollekens, Barry, Sir Thomas Lawrence, Sir William Ross, Wyon, Paxton, the designer of the Hyde Park Exhibition building ; Sir Charles East lake, the new President of the Royal Academy; and Sir Edwin Laudseer, when only eleven years of age. Of this latter gentleman Mr. Varley, who was pre sent when the prize was presented to him, stated that, upon the painting coming before the committee, they would not believe it could be the work of one so young, until he convinced the® by making a sketch in their presence, which they declared would of itself alone be sufficient to win a prize. This sketch, a dog's head, was handed round the room, and was much admired, possessing all the fire and animation for which this artist has since become so celebrated. At the close of the proceedings a vote of thanks was given to Mr. Murchison for his address, and the com pany separated, to view the models in the exhibition mentioned above. STEAM NAVIGATION ON THE PACIFIC. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 21.—A few days ago we mentioned that arrangements had been concluded be tween the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company and the United States' Mail Steam Company for the con veyance of passengers and treasure between England and the ports northward of Panama. We have since been placed in possession of the precise terms of these arrangements, which are of considerable interest to all persons engaged in the Pacific and Californian trade. On and after the Ist of January next the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company will book passengers from Southampton throughout to California and the ports on the west coast of Mexico by their steamers, departing on the 2d and 17th of every month fur Chagres, and connecting with the semi-monthly mail steamers plying between Panama and San Francisco. The rates of fare vary according to the description of accommodation engaged, whether single or double cabins, either aft or forward. The passage money from Southampton to San Francisco is fixed at 971., 1021., 112/, and 122/., respectively; to San Blas, 811., 861., 961., and 106/. ; to Mazatlan, 82/., 871., 971., and 11)71. ; to San Diego, 871., 921., 1021., and 1121 Besides these rates, it is announced that a limited number of artisans, emigrants, &c., to be v ictualled on the same footing as the ship's crew, and finnding their own bedding, will be conveyed when there is room for them, from Southampton to Chagres, for 201. each ; and by arrangements made with the Pa cific (American) Company, the total charge from Eng land to San Francisco will be 511., to San Diego, 461., to Mazatlan, 411., and San Bias 40Z In all cases the passage money does not include the expenses of transport across the Isthmus of Panama. Through bills of lading will be granted at any of the above-mentioned ports for specie or gold dust, de liverable at the Bank of England, at a rate of 2j- per cent. Of this the American mail steamers get 11 rwr cent., and the Royal Mail Company 1 per cent., the latter including all expenses of transit from Panama to Chagres, so that the 2i covers all charges from the port of shipment, and provides for the de livery of the bullion at the Bank of England on pro duction of the bills of lading. The Royal Mail Company have concluded imme diate arrangements for conveying paassenges and treasure in like manner to the above from England to the ports southward of Panama. The ports included in this scheme, touched at by the Pacific Steam Na vigation Company's (British) steamers, are as follow : --Buenaventura, Guayaquil, Payta, Lambageque, Huancbaco, Casma, Huacho, Callao, Pisco, Islay, Arica, Iquique, Cobija, Copiapo, Huesco, Coquimbo, and Valparaiso. The rates of passage money from Southampton to Valparaiso are fixed by the joint companies at 821. 155., 871. 155., 971. 155., and 1071. 15s. respectively ; to Callao, at 621. 10s., 671. 10s., 771. 103., and 871. 103. and to the intermediate ports in proportion to their greater or less proximity t o England; the expense of crossing the Isthmus in all cases being defrayed by the passengers. Through bills of lading are granted at all the above ports by the agents of the Pacific Company for treasure de liverable at the Bank of England at a rate of 21 per cent., of which per cent. falls to the share of the Pacific Company, and 11 per cent. to the Royal Mail Company. The charge made for speci e an d b ullion from Pa nama to British Guiana, Vera Cruz, and Tampico, is 11 per cent. ; from Panama to St. Domingo, Porto Rico, St. Thomas, all the 'Windward Islands, Ha. varnish, Honduras, Nassau, and Jamaica, 1i per cent.; Panama to Carthagena and Grey Town, per cent.; pearls, emeralds, an d a ll other precious stones (unset), being exempt from duty from Panama, are delivered at the Bank of England at 1j per cent. on value; jewellery, subject to duty from Panama, is deliverable at Southampton at 2i per cent. The American mail steamers leave San Francisco on the Ist and 15th of each month, and the British mail steamers leave Valparaiso on the 26th of every month. To ports south of Panama, there is, therefore, at present, only a monthly communication, but by arrangement s with the Admiralty the Pacific Steam Company will, towards the close of 1851, commence a bi-monthly mail, so that passengers will then be enabled to proceed to any of the Chilian, Bolivian, Peruvian, and New Granadian ports, by the West India mail steamers leaving Southampton on the 2d and 17th of every month. IMPROVEMENTS IN BOULOGNE HAREOUR.—The French Government has voted 70,0(10f. towards the comple tion of the stone bridge now in course of construction at Boulogne, with the promise of a further sum of 80,0001. during the next year. With this timely assistance the cor poration of Boulogne will be enabled to finish this important structure, which, with its powerful sluices and command of back•water, will, it is calculated, have the effect of deepening the harbour to the extent of from three to four feet, whicu will enable the packets of the South-Eastern and Continental Company to enter at nearly low water neap tides. This very important improvement will give great additional facilities to the travelling public. --- DUNFERMLINE.—T AE EAST OF SCOTLAND MALE ABLE lITN WonKs.—At a late adjourned sale, these works were, with the estate and mansion• house of Trsnsby, sold for 15,000/. t o B ar i ng Brothers and Co., the great London capitalists.

A full Board of Admiralty sat at Somerset House to consider the report of the master shipwright on the new dock at Devonport. The affair has now assumed the shape of the shipwright versus the civil engineer. We only trust that between them both the public in terests will not be allowed to be sacrificed. Commander Da Cane's death at Cheltenham has been reported at the Admiralty. He entered the navy, 1803, was made a lieutenant in 1809, and commander in 1815. He saw some cutting -out ser vice during the war. Avon, steamer, called at Spithead yesterday morn ing, en route from Woolwich to Plymouth. She took on board a few supernumeraries, and sailed again. Albion, 90, Captain Johnstone, is ordered to be stored for foreign service. Wasp, 14, screw sloop, Commander Crozier, put back to Plymouth on Wednesday, and waits a change of weather to proceed to the coast of Africa. DEVONPORT, WEDNESDAY.—The weather has been very severe for some days, blowing half a gale from south-west to north west, varying several times in 24 hours.

DIRECTIONS FOR NETTING A ITUSDAND.--Take as many meshes as are within your reach, and get the softest material you can to work upon. Go on with your netting as fast as ever you can, work the material about with your meshes until you find you can turn it round your finger and thumb with the utmost facility. Let your netting needles be very sharp; thread them double to prevent them from breaking; and we may observe, that silken ringlets serve exceedingly well as thread, when the work in hand is the netting of a husband. Always employ the brightest colours you can, and the final operation will be the joining together, which should be neatly finished off with a mar= riage knot, and the husband will be completely netted.-- Punch's Pocket Book.

DUBLIN, Nov. 20.—For the last two days and nights it has blown a furious gale front west and north-west. In this city and vicinity no serious in jury has been suffered. The mails from England have been much delayed. At this moment the mail due at six this morning has not arrived; and the steamers from Holyhead and Liverpool (the former due last night) have not appeared in Kingston har bour. The storm appears to have raged with the greatest violence in Limerick, where much damage was done to th e s hi pp i ng in the Shannon, and the adjacent county was greatly flooded. The Limerick Reporter of Tuesday contains the following details : " One of the most fearful storms that has been wit nested for many years visited Limerick and its environs last night. The wind blew with terrific violence, com mencing about tw e l ve o ' c l oc k , and continuing without intermission during the entire night. Several houses were stripped of the slates, particularly those in exposed situations, and chimney stacks were blown into the streets in many parts of the city. On the river the storm raged with great fury. The moon being a few days past the full, the springs were consequently at their greatest height, and as the gale blew from the W.N.W., nearly in a direct line up the river, the tide of this morning rose to an extent almost unprecedented in 'the memory of the oldest waterman on the Shannon. The waves covered the quays in some places to the depth of three and four feet, and rolled into the adjoining streets with resistless fury. All the shops on the quays were filled with water. With the exception of some forty or fifty bags of corn on the ground floor of Mr. Rochford's store on Honan's-quay, we have not heard of any injury done to property in the stores. Th e b r i g Hil ton, of Lon don, moored at Harvey's-quay, had her sides stove in, and suffered other serious iej arms in her hull. She had finished discharging a cargo of coals on the evening previous, and had not taken in -ballast, consequently, floating high, the winds had full effect, and she was driven by their fury in on the quays, her keel, however, remaining outside the kerbstone. As the tide abated the waves beat her against the quay, and her sides were greatly shattered. A pilot-boat moored at the lie-by was sunk; a ship at the North Strand was also injured; and the other craft lying along the quays were all more or less damaged. Two smacks near the Messrs. Russell's dockyards, laden with turf, went down, being completely capsized by the force of the gale, and a vessel laden with flour for the same firm also foundered at this side of the Pool. The disasters down the river must have been numerous, and a long list of the ravages of the storm is expected by the steamer from Kdrush this evening. It is doubtful though that the captain would undertake the trip in such a storm. We have not heard of any loss of life occurring in the city, but a catastrophe of a calamitous nature took place at the Long Pavement, on the Parteen-road. A poor woman who was coming to town with milk was obliged, owing to the road being covered, to walk through the water, and in the attempt passed off the roadway, walked into the deep ditch; and was unhappily drowned. The occurrence was not known till some hours afterwards, when the water in some de gree abated. The hurricane, after a short interval of repose, commenced with apparently renewed fury, about two o'clock P.M., when the rain again came down in tor rents, and the wind was so high that it was almost im possible to appear out of doors. The appearance of the Lower Shannon was truly awful. The entire country at both sides of the river was under water to a vast extent; the embankments being torn away no impediment was offered to the flow of the water., which chafed and swelled as though an angry sea had inundated the land. In the Upper Shannon about Castle Connell, Doonas, Killaloe, and Lough Dergh to Dromineer, the storm is represented as having been equally violent in its effects, so as to stop all communication by water. At a late hour of the evening a renewal of the storm has been thrt atened; the wind continues very high, and the glass has fallen considerably." DEATH OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP OF KIL• LALOE.—The Right Rev. Dr. Kennedy, Roman Catholic Bishop of Killaloe, died on Tuesday, at Parson's Town, King's County, after a protracted ill ness, in his sixty-third year. Dr. Kennedy had at tended the synod at Thurles, where he had taken an active part in opposing the condemnation of the Queen's Colleges ; and he was one of the 13 prelates who subsequently signed a memorial to the Pope, with respect to those institutions. The deceased prelate had been most earnest and successful in his exertions to discourage the " Young Ireland" movement during the excitement of 1848. DEATH OF THE COMPTROLLER-GENERAL .0P STAMPS.—The Evening Post announces' the death of ' Mr. J. Sisson Cooper, Comptroller-General of Stamps, which took place on Monday night, at his house in Upper Merrion-street, after a tew hours' illness. DISCHARGE OF A PRISONER UNDER SENTENCE o DEATH.—On Saturday, Michael Walshe, who had been convicted at Kilkenny assizes for having poisoned a bailiff, was discharged from the gaol of that county. His case had been referred to the Court of Criminal Appeal, and three out of the five judges having decided that illegal evidence had been admitted at the trial, the conviction was reversed. REPRESENTATIVE PBER.—Randal Edward Plunkett Baron Dunsany has been elected a representative peer for Ireland, in the room of Wyndham Earl of D unravel), deceased. CONSECRATION Or THE NEW CHURCH AT PENG/I. —Yesterday the new edifice dedicated to St. John the Evan gelist was consecrated by the Bishop of Winchester, in the presence of the Prime Wardens, Masters, and Assistants of the Watermen's Company and a numerous assemblage of the neighbouring gentry. The church contains sittings for 800, The Bishop of Winchester preached. At the close of the ser mon there was a liberal collection. EXTENSIVE Flllll 1N FINSBUIIT.—Last night, be. tween the hours of eight and nine o'clock, a most destructive fire suddenly broke out on the premises of Mr. Hynam, chemical-light-manufacturer, in Princes-square, Princes street. The premises formed two sides of the square. With as little delay as possible, the engines of the London Brigade and West of England Company attended, and, by carrying the hose from the engines on to the roofs of the surrounding buildings, they were enabled to cut off the fire from the two wings, which contained a vast quantity of property; and at 1 1 o'clock that part of the works where the fire began was nearly burned out, and the adjoinin g b u ildi ngs severely damaged, more especially the premises of Mr. Mansfield, basket4maker, in Holloway-place, and the houses numbered respectively 4, 5,6, 7, and 8, in Tobacco-hole-court. None of the property destroyed was insured. BROMPTON.—Yesterday evening a very full quar terly meeting of governors and directors was held in the board-room of the Hospital for Consumption, Brompton ; Otho Hamilton, Esq., in the chair. Some routine business having passed, it was stated that since the last meeting of governors, 91 patients had been received in the wards of the building, of whom 63 bad been discharged more or less bene fited There were at present in the house 90 patients. Within the period adverted to 639 out-patients had received medical treatment. The sum of 4181. 14s. annual subscrip tions had been received, of which z 4/. 13s. were new sub scribers ; 11)01. in small leglicies had also been received. The secretary then stated that a legacy of 5001. had been received from the hte William Theobald, Esq., of Paddington, and • legacy of 100/. from the late Mrs. Ann Goodman,' of Liver pool-road, London. Also that a larger portion of the legacy of 3,0001. (left by the late J. M. Cuthbert, Esq.) than had been expected the assets would have realized would soon become available. The report was received with the greatest satisfaction, and the usual vote of thanks passed to the chairman. THE RIGHTS OF MAN.—Shortly after the Straw. raer steamer had put to sea last Saturday, with a large number of cabin passengers, a tall powerful man became conspicuous by his manner of talking to every one, holding forth on every subject, and professing the most ultra opinions. Having towards evening, as he supposed, secured the good feelings of his fellow-passengers, and collected a considerable circle round him on the quarter-deck, be held forth in the most approved Chartist style. Ridiculing all the institu tions of the country, and, not content with abusing the aris tocracy in a body, attacking many by name— many who are never heard of as public men—he then commenced an attack on the country gentlemen of Ayrshire, and was in the act of naming a gentleman of large property near Stranraer, when Lord Ranelagh, who was at some distance, walked up to him, and said, •' Sir, I desire you will not abuse that gentleman, who is a friend of mine ;" but the hero of liberty paid no attention. His Lordship again said, "That gentle man is a friend of mine ; and, unless you instantly desist from your abuse you will repent the consequences." But the man of the people, thinking, perhaps, his height and size would keep off all personal attack, again commenced, but Vas spin stopped by Lord Ranelagh, saying, "Sir, it seems that your only idea of liberty consists in low and scurrilous abuse against every respectable person who has property. I twice cautioned you that the gentleman you named was a friend of mine, and you still persist in your abuse of him—so take that ;" and, with the word, the Chartist hero of six feet two was fiat on the deck, where he lay for at least a quarter of an Lour. The scene that followed was curious ; Lord Rane lagh, without saying a word, walked back to where he had been before he heard his friend's name mentioned; and, for five minutes at least, not a word was spoken by any one of the passengers, so surprised were they, and so richly was the chastisement deserved. THE ARMY.—We have pleasure in stating that Major-General Milman, Major-General Kenah, C. 8., and Major-General Sir James Reynett, K.C.H., have been selected as the officers to succeed to the vacant colonelcies.
