We do not I deny that thi- ircumstance contributed to the publi- I cation of the Roman Pontiff's bull us September last ; I but we do maintain that that was not the s o l e cause o f I the Papal aggression in this country. The fact that in Ireland Popish archbishops and bishops, called after the names of places in the island, were not only I tolerated, but treated by her Majesty's representative ' with the same respect as the Protestant prelates of the country, had much to do in inducing Pins the Ninth to pursue the course which we have lately witnessed. When the abettors of Popery in England saw the Romish Archbishop of Dublin receiving precedence at the Castle over Protestant bishops, and when they remembered that Ireland is an inte gral part of the country, it was no more than might be expected that they should be unable to see any 1 reason why they should not have Popish prelates, with 1 English titles, in this country. If Dr. Murray thus received precedence of Protestant bishops,they I could perceive no admissible reason why Dr. Wise- Man, as Archbishcp of Westminster, should not re ceive precedence of the Bishop of - London at the Queen's levees, and on all other great State °Ceti* irons. The great error both of Sir Robert Peel's Government, and of that of Lord John Russell, has been that they have been too forward to pamper Po pery in Ireland. Both Governments have truckled to the Romish priesthood to an extent at once discredit able and disastrous to tho couritry. The Popish priesthood in the sister island have been raised by the previous and present Government to so much import ance, that, whenever circumstances of an exciting hind occur in that country, they mey be almost said to constitute a fourth estate of the realm. The des tinies of Ireland were for many years in their hands. It was theirs to produce or allay agitation—to excite to, or restrain from, acts of virtual rebellion. And yet, as if there had not been sufficient favour shown by the past and the present Government to the Popish prelacy and the Popish priesthood - in the sister coun try, it was gravely proposed that the latter should be endowed by the State. So resolutely bent, indeed, were the Whig Ministry on endowing the Popish priests in Ireland, that, but for the course which the Roman Pon tiff has lately adopted, that measure would have been made—probably not in th e com i ng sess i on, b ut i n a year or two—a Ministerial question. If the Popish aggression should be productive of no other good, it will at least be productive of this one benefit—that no . • Cabinet, no matter whether it be Whig, Tory, or I Radical, will berneftef - ever entertain, even for ono;-:-.1- , ---- brief moment, the idea of endowing the Roinish priest- I hood in Ireland. But we have somewhat deviated from our subject. Now that it is no longer a secret, that Ministers mean to leave the Popish prelates, in the sister island, in undisturbed possession of their ecclesiastical honours, the question comes to be—ls the country prepared to submit to this ? Are we tamely to look on, while we see Popish bishops retain ing all their distinctions, and all their importance, while the assumption of similar titles in England is to be treated as an offence to be visited with penal con sequences? If the Protestantism of England and of Ireland be what we hope and trust it is, this is an outrage on justice and consistency in which it will • not acquiesce. If it he right to have Popish prelates in Ireland, with titles taken from towns in that country, then it must be equally right to have Popish bishops, with EngliFsh titles, in this country. It the thing is to be prevented in England, it must be put down in Iceland. We must have no such anomaly as that which Ministers contemplate. Let us, at all events, have uniformity in the two countries. Either put down Popish prelacy. with Irish titles in Ireland, or let the bull of Pius IX. take effect in England, and a batch of Popish prelates, with English titles, be created, by the Roman Pontiff, in this country, " to match" Popish ecclesiastics in Ireland. It needs no large endowment of the prophetic gift to be able to pre dict which alternative it is to be. Ministers may propose to pursue what course of policy they please ; but there is another and higher power in this country. There is the power of public opinion. The Protestant people of England and Ireland will insist, and insist with effect, that Popish prelates in the sister island be stripped of their Irish ecclesiastical titles.

Surrey —Frimley, Bag shot, December 31,1850.—An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence is respectfully submitted by a few frien.ls and neighbours on behalf of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD lIOLLES who for a period of 18 years, in an exemplary manner, performed the duties of his church. and was distinguished by his benevolence and charity in the wide district under his charge. The act of atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. Holiest was suddenly cut off is universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi tion are aware that he never lied the means of making a provision for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case of Mrs. Holiest will commend itself to the generous consideration of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a family so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of Mrs. Holiest does not exceed 401. per annum, and subscriptions are earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate means. Subscriptions will be thankfully received by the following hankers :—Messrs. Herries, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co.; Messrs. Courts, and Co.; Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., and Co., I, Cavendish square; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs.

WHERE TO BUY A DRESSING-CASE. In no article, perhaps, is caution more necessary than in the purchase of a Dressing-case, for in none are the meretricious arts of the unprincipled manufacturer more frequently displayed. MECIII, 4, Leadenhall-street, near Gracechurch-street, has long enjoyed the reputation of producing a Dressing•case in the most Punished and faultless manner. Those who purchase one of him will be sure of having thoroughly seasoned and well prepared wood or leather, with the fittings of first-rate quality. The prices range from IL to lOU. Thus the man of fortune and he of moderate means may alike be suited, while the traveller will find the Mechian Dressing-case espe cially adapted to his necessities.-4, Leadenhall-street. r - bR.

Captain Lord Edward Russell joined his ship, the Vengeance, 84, at Portsmouth, on Tuesday, when his commission was read. His Lordship afterwards ad dressed the ship's company in a short but appropriate speech, The Amphitrite, 26, Captain Frederick, is having her compasses adjusted at Portsmouth. She is to be ready for sea on Monday next, if possible. Argus steam-frigate is to leave Woolwich to-day, for Greenhithe and Portsmouth. Bellerophon, 78, Captain Lord G. Paulet, at Devon port, is ordered to increase her advanced complement. She will be the next ship for foreign service, and will probably relieve the Ganges, 84, in the Mediterranean. Bloodhound, steam-tender to Sampson, was taken into No. 5 dock at Devon port, on Tuesday morning, to make good her detects, which will take more than a week to perform. Cyclops steam-frigate, Captain Hon. G. F. Hastings, arrived at Wo o l w i c h yester d a y a fternoon, from the coast of Africa, to be paid off. Echo steam-tug proceeded to Cowes to bring up from Parkhurst some convicts, to put on board the Lady Ken na,way convict-ship, that arrived at Spithead on Tues day from W 00l wich. Manceuverer lighter, Ross master, put to sea again from Devonport on Monday; expecting to weather the Start, and the❑ make a good passage to Woolwich, but when about half way between the Mew Stone and Start sho was struck by a heavy sea, and the mast broke and went over the side. She was afterwards towed in between the island and main by two smacks. Tiger steam-frigate was taken into the old basin at Portsmouth, on Tuesday, to be further brought forward as a first-class advanced steamer. Victoria and Albert royal yacht was taken into the old basin at Portsmouth to refit, on Tuesday; she will probably bo docked when the Blonde hulk comes out. Volcano steam-vessel, Commander Rivers, from Ply mouth for the coast of Africa, put in at Falmouth from stress of weather and fuel, and proceeded alongside the Aurora coal•hulk. _ _ _ Virago steamer arrived at Falmouth, with Mr. Hen derson and party, to unmoor the Astrrea guard-ship, and to tow that frigate thence to Plymouth. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—WO had another bard gale of wind, accompanied by much rain last night, but the wind has moderated, and is now westerly, with fine weather. _ DEVONPORT, JAN. 21.—0 n Wednesday last Thomas Hill, superintending carpenter in the St. George, doing duty in the Clarence, alongside the dockyard, was detected by police-constable Brownson attempting to take on board the Clarence an elm plank without the proper authority. He was finally examined before Com modore Lord John Hay on Monday, Mr. Eastlake, Queen's solicitor, being present, when he was found guilty and fined 40s. Runorrir, MONDAY.—Tho weather has been awfully severe for the last fortnight by constant gales of wind at from south to west, amounting at times to a hurricane, accompanied with rain and the weather dense. During this period the barometer has frequently risen of an evening exceedingly rapidly, indicating a few hours of starlight, when with the morning the change has as rapidly reversed. Owing to the strong gales of contrary wind, about 150 sail of vessels have taken refuge hero or remain detained, having had orders to proceed to various destinations. Among the former is the Netherlands sear-steamer Ardjaneo, bound to Batavia; the William Frederick, for Panama; the Sobra on an d t h e Willi am Watson, for Bombay; the Bavaria, for New York; the Mermaid, for Swan River, with convicts; the Frowning Beauty, for Valparaiso and California; the Valesneria, for the Cape of Good Hope, &c. GREAT CIRCLE SAILING.—By the Overland Mail we hear of the arrival at Adelaide of the ship Constance, John Bulwee Godfrey commander. This ship sailed from Plymouth with emigrants on the 17th day of July, and arrived at Adelaide on the Ist of October, having made the voyage in 76 days, one day less than the pre ceding voyage. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—The Oberon steam vessel, 3, Lieutenant-Commander W. B. Harvey, arrived at Spithead this afternoon from the Mediterranean. She left Malta on the 4th, and Gibraltar, on the 16th. The Powerful, 84, Captain the Hon. R. S. Dundas, was to leave Malta for England on the 15th. At Gibraltar were lying the Janus steam-sloop, and the Royal Yacht Squadron schooner Camilla. She did not touch at Lis bon, consequently has no news of moment. She brought home as passengers Lieutenant Forbes, R.& on leave, and Lieutenants Ale xander, of the Su p er b , and Pochin, of the Firebrand, on promotion; also the Marquis and Marchioness San Giorgia; Signor Cherrini, Lady, and R.N., on promotion, from the Queen; f Lieutenant H. .

WOOLWICII, JAN. 22.—Master—Robert Salmond (1838), to the Eisgard Sag-ship at Woolwich, vice Aylen, S N JANUARY 23, 1851. 7 appointed to the Royal Victoria and Albert yacht at Portsmouth. how they may he constructed without costing a farthing, without borrowing, and without paying a fraction of interest on any loan. Moreover, we will prove that they may be rendered a large source of permanent revenue to the Company. Let it be assumed that some given line was de termined upon, and that the estimate was fixed at five millions sterling. The ordinary process would be to apply to the ruling capitalists of the money market to supply the funds on the security of the East India Directors, they consenting to repay the loan at a cer tain date, and to pay interest on it yearly or half yearly. Supposing that interest were 5 per cent., and the principal were returned in twenty years, it is clear that the railway would have cost ten millions starling, since the interest in that time would have equalled the principal. Now, what induced the lenders to accept the secu rity of the directors ? A faith in their responsibility. It is a transaction of pure credit. On what basis did this trusted responsibility of the directors rest ? On the known fact of their being possessed of the terri tory of India, rich in every description of produce, and protected by a powerful and disciplined army of 260,000 troops. But if this territorial possession were deemed a good security by lenders, which is im plied in the argument, or the loan would not have taken place, is it not an equally good security tothose who actually construct the railway ? The security in fact is not in the directors, but in the land and pro duce of India, of which they are the trustees and ad ministrators. Why, then, should they borrow at in-. terest ? Why borrow at all ? Why not create the instruments required, instead of seeking them on the Stock Exchange ? They hold the real property, which is the true guarantee of the loan ; and out of the reality they are quite competent to create its sym bol or representative. In a word, let them issue their own currency, on the basis of their own property, in the shape of railway notes. If they can be trusted to redeem a debt contracted in gold by the return of gold out of the land and produce of India, why should not they be trusted to redeem their notes ? In what, except in the nature of the instrument, does the signature on a skin of parchment differ from a sig nature on a piece of paper ? Surely the one is as valid as the other, for the validity of both depends en tirely on the real property of those by whom they are signed.

CIiA.TEIAIII, JAN. 22,—The Horatio, steam guard-ship, has been put out of dock, and the Cumberland, 70, fitting for the flAg of Admiral Sir George Seymour, G.C.8., taken in for the purpose of having considerable altera tions made in her internal fiVings; and to have an in crease in the number of her cabins for the accommoda tion of the officers. During the last fourteen days, upwards of 200 blue jackets have joined this ship, which is to be ready for sea on the 15th of next month. Rear-Admiral Francis Erskine Loch has been pre sented with a very handsome silver box by the officers and men of Standgate Creek, as a token of their gra ti.,u,re for his uniformly kind superintendence whilst in charge of the quarantine establishment. Admiral Loch went to sea with Lord Keith in the Queen Charlotte in 1799, when his Lordship proceeded to the Mediterra nean as commander-in-chief, to relieve Lord Nelson, and was one of the three fortunate midshipmen saved from that ship when she was destroyed by fire off Leghorn. RAILWAYS IN BRITISH INDIA. (From the Journal of Industry.) When the Marquis of Dalhousie had received his appointment of Governor-General-of India, he is re ported to have said that instead of seeking to gratify ambition by territorial conquest, he would endeavour to elevate and enrich both England and India by extending the cultivation of cotton. Few Englishmen appreciate at its real worth the vast importance of our Eastern possessions ; yet we venture to affirm, after very careful investigation, that British India possesses a wider and richer field for industry than all our foreign trade united affords, provided the resources of the country were fully developed; nor need we ever fear that a commerce there commenced would be checked or degrroyed by hostile tariffs. The great industrial want of India is facility of land transit—rapid, safe, and economical—readily to be supplied by a judicious system of railways. Every man of experience admits this fact, but the difficulty we undertake to demonstrate, beyond all cavil or quibble, that a complete net-work of railways may intersect the whole of India without the intervention of an ounce of gold, an d w ith out th e cost o f a s i ng l e farthing either to the natives, or the people of this country. Of the practicability of this plan, we shall presently give the most decided evidence ; but a few prefatory remarks, addressed to those who are imper fectly acquainted with this brightest jewel in the crown, may not be inappropriate. The following table exhibits in a short compass the area of land and the population of the most important Presidencies:— Population per Square Square Miles. Population. Mile. Bengal Agra 88,900 Madras 141,923 672 Bombay India pays to the India stock-holders 10i per cent., has a revenue of 20,000,0001., a maritime trade va lued at 30,000,0001., and supports an army of 260,000 men. Including those directly subject to the Com pany, and the subjects of tributary and allied princes, the whole population may be fairly computed at 150,000,000, which is nearly equal to three-fourths of the entire population of continental Europe. Now, if these people had the means of turning the natural riches of their country to the most profitable ac count, and only consumed per head, British commo dities to the value of five shillings in a year, this would create an export trade from England to India of nearly 40,000,0001. annually. The vessels to carry out such fr e ights and return cargoes, with the vast industrial ramifi ca tio ns w hi c h would necessarily branch out from so g i gan ti c a commerce , ma y easily be imagined; and though we are well aware that the internal administration of India admits of very many other improvements, besides the introduction of railways, especially the abolition of the cruel tax on salt, yet it may be affirmed that iron roads are au absolute necessity to enlarged and prosperous trade. In proof of this we shall cite a very competent au thority;* but it is right to observe that since the pamphlet from which we quote was written, the means of internal communication have been improved. " A reference to the map of India shows that the cotton growing districts on the Nerbudda, and those of Nagpoor and Amrowty, in Berar, are remote from Miraapore, the entrectee on the Ganges, lying between Benares and Allahabad ; and the mode of conveyance may be thus described. The cotton is brought on oxen, carrying 100 pounds each, at the extreme rate, in fine weather, of seven miles a day for a continuance, and at a price of about five shillings for each 100 miles. If we take the average distance to Mirz spore at 500 miles, each pound of cotton costs in transit about twopence-halfpenny. It has thence to be bor ne b y water carr i age near l y 800 miles further to Calcutta, from which port the exportation of cotton to England at a profit must be looked for in vain. Within the last seven or eight years, a good road, between Jubalpore and Mirza pore, has been formed ; and it is satisfactory to know that although 400 carts only passed over it in the year after it was built, no fewer than 6,000 went along it in 1838; and this number will daily increase. The misfortune of this road, however, as regards the cot ton trade, is that it only commences half-way be tween the cotton districts and the entreptst. The article, therefore, has necessarily to travel 250 miles on oxens' backs, and the contract for conveyance ex tends to the whole distance; so that, in fact, for all beneficial purposes to the cotton trade in that quar ter, this excellent road is almost useless. In order to render it available, it should be completed to Nagpoor and Amrowty. Were this effected, and the transport of carts substituted, as we may be sure it would be, it would diminish the expense of con veyance alone, from twopence halfpenny to less than a farthing a pound. The calculation is simple. An ox carries 160 pounds a t t h e rate of seven m i les a day, in fair weather only, for a continuous journey of one or two months. In the absence of a defined and good road, a drove of several hundred head of cattle requires to be con s t ant l y watc h e d an d pre vented from straying . on th e march ; and th i s l eads to the necessity of travelling by day in the hot weather when the thermometer is seldom less than 100 degrees, and frequently 130 degrees Fahrenheit. These droves are never so few as 100, and often exceed 1,000. Every morning, after daylight, each ox has to be laden ; and before the operation is over, the sun is already high above the horizon. The cattle have then to proceed at the slow ra t e of two miles an hour, and seldom perform a journey of more than eight or nine miles a day. The horde generally halts one day out of seven. If the caravan is overtaken by rain, the cotton, becoming saturated with moisture, is so heavy as to prevent its transport on the cattle, and the roads, if lying through the cotton ground, are so deep, th a t men even sink above their ankles at every step, and cattle to their knees. It m ay eas il y b e supposed that under such a calamity, the merchant and the carrier are both ruined." It is obvious that such a mode of transit is fatal to the trade in cotton, absolutely essential to our ore required for their manu lecturing districts, now m am , ly wh d e e r p e e , n f d r e o i r t y on ear th to e supply Railways, theref ore, are imperiously demanded to develope the lucrative s ource o f indus try ; and considering that our possessi on o f I n di a i s oy weanrftahc f et r o o r m article i es. the s U m n l o t r e e d a S ti t d a t m e s re, in the rapid and easy conveyance of troops, and the tr ansport o f t h e I these iron roads h it i a g r h y ea t t re se a r su vi would chi ef prove on e o o f f the l heavier munitions of war. They would pr ove f a r more effectual than frontier garr isons agai ns t a f ore i gn enemy, and the best defence against any int erna l in surrection; nay, their existence would check both designs, as it would be known that an overwhelming force could in a few hours be concentrated on any menaced position. In Bengal, in the annual relief, infantry regiments march on the average ten miles and a half per diem, halting six days in a month, so that it takes a very considerable time to journey from point to point. With railways a regiment might travel over as much ground in a few days, as months are no w requ i red to accomplish, and without fatigue. We have practical evidence of the utility of iron roads in military emer gencies in the disturbance at Cracow, which happened a few years since. On that occasion an Austrian corps of 921 men were transported fr om P rague to Olmutz, about 160 miles, in fourteen hours and a half; and a body of cavalry, of 1 , 5 00 men, with h orse and baggage, made the same Journey in twelve. Compared with ordinary marching, the saving of time was computed at nearly nine days. It were easy to multiply proofs of the invaluable benefits which a well-organised syste m o f ra i lways would confer on British India; but the illustrations offered must suffice, for our main purpose is to show But it may be asked, is there any precedent for such a transaction ? Can any example be given where such a plan has been proved to be practical, safe, and profitable; and where the end sought to be realized, has been accomplished ? We answer all these questions in the most decided affirmative, and defy contradic tion to the following statement in the slightest parti • cular About the year 1821, the people of Guernsey de termined to build a meat-market. The estimated cost was 4,0001. The legislative body of that island is called the " States" (Les Etats), and they sanc• tioned this expenditure. Some habituated to the old routine proposed to borrow the money at interest, but the President of the States, Daniel De Lisle Brock, a man in all respects far in advance of his age, repudiated this proposal, reasoningthus :—" Our island is honestly worth 4,000,000/. sterling, and is, there fore, a most ample guarantee for 4,000/. ; if strangers would think this a good security for them, we ought to think it a good security for ourselves; why not then lend ourselves the money, and save the interest which strangers would require ?" This advice was acted upon. The States sanctioned the emission of 4,000 11. notes, which were numbered, and marked on their face " Guernsey Meat -market Notes," and they were declared a l ega l tender within the island, discharging all debts and liquidating taxes due within the insular jurisdiction. The market was commenced, and, as the work progressed, the contractor was paid instalments in these notes ; with these he paid for wages and mate rials. They were freely taken by the shopkeepers for goods, and by them paid to landlords for rent. Finally, the treasurer of the States accepted them in payments of taxes. They were thus in constant cir culation, fulfilling the functions for which they were issued. These notes were essentially and exclusively a local currency—they were never exported, because they were of no use to foreigner s , not possessing any intrinsic value, but deriving all their authority from the " States," the representatives of the people, by whom, fur the acknowledged benefit of the people, they were put into circulation. The merchants and tradesmen of Guernsey who owed debts to foreigners, paid them by bills upon London or Paris, so that this local currency in no respect interfered with their fo reign trade, the balances of which were always dis charged in the money of the country where those balances were due. In due course of time the market was completed, and we proceed to describe the mode in which the notes were redeemed. The market was divided into eighty shops, and each butcher readily paid the trifling sum of 51. a year as rent. These payments of course yielded an aggregate annual rental of 4001. At the expiration of the first year's tenancy, this sum was handed over by the butchers to the treasurer of the States, who, by public notification, announced his readiness to cancel 400 of the notes in the order of their numbered issue. These were accordingly brought into the treasurer, and before him and func tionaries duly appointed, they were burned. This process of extinction was continued for ten consecu tive years, when all the 4,000 1/. notes were extin guished. The market remained, and remains to this hour, an eternal monument of the financial and ad ministrative genius of Daniel De Lisle Brock, who out of a symbol created a reality. But more remains to be told. After the building notes were cancelled, the rent of the market con tinued, and continues to this hour, yielding a revenue for local purposes. Thus the market was built with out subtracting one solitary farthing as principal or interest from a single Guernseyrnan, or a single foreigner. No burden of debt exists, and an annual income of 4001. (less the cost of repairs), is secured in perpetuity without the imposition of a farthing of tax. This is no fable. A full record exists of the whole transaction in the archives of Guernsey, and any sceptic may have his doubts removed by crossing over to the island erom Southampton in ten or twelve hours. Now here a great principle is established, and the East India Company knay as readily carry this prin ciple into effect, in constructing railways in their do minions, as the States of Guernsey did in building their meat-market. If the land and produce of Guernsey were a good guarantee for 4,000 paper notes, surely British India is a good guarantee for auy number of millions of notes that may be needed for forming iron roads ? In one case as in the other it is equally easy to create the reality out of the symbol. Why should the directors degrade themselves by begging the loans of bits of bullion from the money-mongers of the Stock-Exchange, and incur the cost of paying them interest ? Nothing would be more easy than the redemption of the railway notes. After defraying the charges of superintendence and management, some surplus would remain out of the fares from passengers and the tolls from commodities, and whatever that surplus was, it ought to be applied from year to year to the extinction of the debt. Assume, for the mere sake of illustration, that it was five per cent. ; this would ex tinguish all the notes in twenty years, and ever after wards the profits would form a part of the Indian Revenue. This is a most moderate estimate, and far below any calculation that we have examined. Moreover, it must be remembered that by this plan no interest whatever would have to be deducted from the profits of the undertaking. • Men of common minds wait for opportunities; men of great minds create opportunities. Lord Bacon said, " Aut inveniam viam, aut faciam ;" " I will find a way or I will make one." It does not become the East India Company to be the servile followers of precedents ; their responsibility is immense, and while it is their duty to avoid rash experiments, they are bound to act upon tested discoveries. We have given proof of the practicability, safety, and usefulness of the plan here submitted to the calm judgment of the directors. We have placed in their hands an instrument of gigantic power, whether it be used for military or commercial purposes. The trust in them is of the most serious magnitude, being no less than the defence of India, the development of its industrial resources, and the progress of true civilization through our Eastern empire. They are the guardians of 150,000,000 of people, who look up to them for the improvement of their condition, and it will be a slur on their administration, if they refuse to construct railways in their possessions, unless they can obtain permission from the bullionists ; for what is the value of all the gold in the world, compared with the value of the soil and products of India ?

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. TIMES.—The renowned designer of the Crystal Palace, in a letter to Lord John Russell, proposes a plan still more novel and magnificent than that mar vellous structure. It is nothing less than that, with the exception of l!he first fortnight, and the Wedness lay in each subsequent week, the Exhibition shall be absolutely open tee the world. It is the World's Ex hibition. As the first feast of reason and flow of soul the whole . world has been invited to, as the great picnic contributed by seven thousand enter prising persons k7om all nations of the earth, as the greatest occal lion which this empire is likely to produce for acmes time, and its chief return .for the sights and hospital lities of its neighbours, we should. says Mr. Paxton„ throw open our doors, and literally keep open house to the world. England, he further intimates, will packet a good deal by the show—the Chancellor of the. Exchequer himself coming in for a share of the spoil.. Why, too, he asks, should we add to the serious expenses which our visitors must neces sarily incur ? Mae admission money presents itself to Mr. Paxton's Keuerous imagination in the hateful form of a tax-3 tax upon knowledge, a tax upon light, a tax on the liberality of the seven thousand contrioutors. He asks that the whole multitude, whether from Arkansas, or Siberia, or Bethnal-green, may have free course through the labyrinth, to go in and out at all hours Of the day, without the aid of the odious silver key with which the private show is unavoidably vulgarised. He would have the Exhibit ion as open as o ur c h u rch es — o p ener , indeed, than they are in reality. How, also, are the poor mechanics tend their families to afford the num ber of visits req'ttired for a promenade of wonders twenty miles lon ? There is something very seducing in the idea. It was klr.T,axto,n_who suggested to the Duke of De' ronsliir e t o throw open every room in Chatsworth a 'ter the Queen's visit, with all the furniture, ornaments, and curiosities exactly as her Majesty had seem it. That experiment wms attended with remarkables success, both as to the number and as to the behav four of the visitors—the solitary ex ception proving, in its sequel, the strongest reason for trusting at I east a provincial multitude. Well, Mr. Paxton is e vidently a man of grand ideas; but grand ideas are mot always practicable, and we . very much fear that V tis is not. We questi on w h e th er the building, three-4 fifths of it being tilled with counters and cases, and having from east to west only one grand promenadie and two very narrow ones, will allow as many as. fif t y th ousan d persons to circulate freely about it. 'With that number we apprehend there will be her n and there such an accumulation as to be inconvenit ant, even to a well. disposed crowd, and such as may afford opportunities to the ill-dis posed to do various sorts of mischief which we need not particularise.. Now, any Monday, we will not say also Tuesday, there are at least a quarter of a million men and boys idle in and about this metropo lis—the greater part of them " on the lark," and just as ready, weather permitting, to stroll to Hyde park as to the nearest public-house. Now we are not going t( ) speak harshly of a London mob. Everybtaly knows that when a mob does mischief, it is Lof so much the mob as some very small but very active knot of men in it. In fact, there is a husk r Ind kernel in every such mob ; the stupid husk men fly looking on, and the kernel acting under the cover tof the husk. But who is to distin guish the kerne 1 from the husk ? Fifty thousand Monday idlers f rom the manufactories of London, mixed with a fey r thousand who admit of no descrip tion, would be way awkward customers for the Exhi bition, however :numerous, knowing, and judicious the police. In point of fact the place would be at their mercy, and as the plunderers would operate is the heart of an it tnocent crowd, entangled in twenty miles of cross pass ages and twenty acres of valuable commodities, we hardly see how any force, military or constabulary, could act well upon them. So long as the circulation is free there will be no danger, but with a quart sr of a million, or only a hundred thousand, besie t Ong the place, pressing in, ac cumulating whether innocently or otherwise, the circulation would not always be free. Nor do we see how it could be kept free without continual orders to " move on," s vhich would make it impossible to get more than tl lan a cursory glance at the objects exhibited. Unquestionably there is some degree of risk in the admi!ision of a crowd under the most fa vourable circumstances. Croakers have all sorts of misgivings,—robl:ery, insult, girders breaking, in fection, and we know not what besides. Now, we think we could an swer for any multitude likely to be in at one time on payment of a shilling ; for a perfectly free mob we would rather not be bail. Should Mr. Paxton obtain the Parliamentary grant that would be necessary for 'his purpose many millions would prey for the Exhibition without the pleasure of seein g it. What is fairer than that they who see sho aid pay ? After all, a shilling or two, or even five shillings, will constitute but a small part of the expenses which the visitors must be at in travelling, board, and lodging. Very few foreigners will have to spend less than 51., and very few of our countrymen from the manufacturing dis tricts less than 21., if they are ever so economical. As for families, they can only have a peep. The weary long visit, made fox economy's sake in one day, which Mr. Paxtoa talks of, and which he kindly wishes to split into half-a-dozen visits at leisure, will be una voidable in a vast proportion of cases on account, not of the shilling, but of London expenses. The object is to make the visit worth a shilling; and a visit, with room to move about or stand still—which you please —with equal comfort, will be better worth a shilling than a squeeze in a mob will be worth saying " Thank you" for. As for our fellow-townsmen, it will be very hard if they, being at no other expense, and haying nothing but advantage from it, cannot afford a shilling or two fortheir own entertainment. If anybody is to pay, the Londoners ought. As we have observed already, they are so numerous that the shilling will be of service in keeping them back a little. It should be considered that there is time and conveni ence to be taken into account as well as cost. If ad mission be gratis, there will occasionally be such a mob that many thousands, after coming up from the distant parts of the metropolis, not to say the United Kingdom, will not be able to gain admission on any terms—a disappointment which may be equivalent to the loss of many shillings. But with the shilling " tax" on admission, it is much less likely that the building will ever be so full as to require the doors to be closed against fresh visitors, except per haps for a very short time. Of course we have to take care, or rather the Commission must take care for us, that they do not, for a nominal freedom, create a very unpleasant and useless monopoly. If the mob are to have possession of the building five days out of six, and if they attend in the numbers we expect, they are likely to have it to themselves; and all the better sort of visitors, ready to pay their shil ling, and able to turn the Exhibition to the best ac count, will be put to a serious inconvenience. The single shilling day will be of very little use to persons —perhaps ladies—who have come up from a distance for a week or ten days, and who will only just ma nage two days in which they can see the Exhibition with comfort and advantage. All this we grant is speculation. The question is open to much diversity of opinion ; and the experience of May may stultify the anticipations of January. But it is better to begin on the safe side, and the safest side by far we hold to be to require from every visitor his fair con tribution to the show, which we need not say w ill, i n this case, be very well worth the money. ADVERTISER.—The question of Papal aggres sion, though it has been in comparative abeyance for some time past, will, before the lapse of another fort night, come again before the country under circum stances of profound interest.

' TREMENDOUS CONFLAGRATION. Yesterday morning at a few minutes before seven o'clock a fire of a very destructive character, con ' sumiug before it was extinguished a vast amount of property, happened in the spacious premises belong ing to Mr. Robert Whitaker, playing-card and paste ' board manufacturer, Little Britain.. The property has five floors in height, including the basement, the front forming two of the large houses in the public thoroughfare, whilst the main factory was a building nearly as capacious and contained an equal number of floors, the entrance being by a - flight of stone steps. The discovery was made by an apprentice who slept in the second floor of the front premises. The upper story was termed the enamelling compartment; the whole of the floors were lighted with gas, and the heat was furnished by German and register stoves. Owing to the great amount of paper, cards, and boards is the building, the apprentice at once saw that un!ese the flames were quickly stopped a fearful conflaeratioe would knew. He aroused the two sons of Mr. Whitaker, ho were sleeping in the front premises, and sounded an alarm through the neighbourhoed. Fire ese3pe2, engines, and police men were quickly on the spot and in active and fear less operation ; but in spite of their efforts the total loss by this disastrous event must, at a moderate cal culation, reach some thousand pounds, for the whole of the manufacturing premises are completely de stroyed, the upper portion of one of the front ware houses is burned out, the whole of the back rooms of the two front houses are partially destroyed, and the valuable stock in trade seriously injured by water. Fortunately, the principal part of the valuable designs which have taken some years to accumulate, have been saved ; but for a time the whole of the workpeople— numbering upwards of forty—will be thrown out of omployment. Mr. Whitaker was insured in the Union and Phoenix Fire-offices. Not the least idea can be formed as to the cause of' the misfortune. Mr. Whitaker, jun., informed the reporter that when he examineii the premises after the men had left off work, he did not perceive the least appearance of fire in any part of the buildings.
