Otttatlut A4it LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBEPb 24, 1850. It is generally admitted that " desperate cases re quire desperate remedies ;" that measures may be adopted in pressing emergencies which would not for a moment be contemplated under ordinary circum stances. These measures may sometimes prove suc cessful, the, results may surprise the parties by whom they were suggeqted ; but they are at best but dan gerous expedients, that should rarely be resorted to, never until every milder course had been tested and found ineffectual, and it was clear not only that tio alternative remained, but that there was no danger of any ill consequences flowing from the fancied cure, which wt,uld not certainly occur if it were rejected. In public matter?, affecting the welfare of the community, perchance the liberty of the sub ject, even greater caution is essential. Experimental enactments are especially to be deprecated. Legis lative proceedings should be calm and deliberative, not rash and hasty. Before sew restrictive or penal laws can be sanctioned, it must be distinctly shown that those already in operation are wholly inadequate, and that the deeciency.lies in the law itself, and not in the mode of its administration. The numerous burglaries and robberies that have recently been perpetrated, the outrages which deprived Mr. ilonnesr of his life and to which Mr. Meetsroet nearly fell a victim, have excited a panic in the public mind., and loud demands are made for the adoption of more effectual measures of prevention. It is indeed desirable that every reasonable precaution shoUld be taken to afford protection to person and property, and to break up the organized bands of r ufil 3.ns —the predatory hordes whose hands are against the entire community, who live in open and uniiigui.ed hostility to the law of the land, and make a track of thieving, following it, as others do " tailor ing or " basket making," for a subsistence. But in atttemp.ing to achieve this great object care must be taken not to trespass on the limits which the law has assignei fir the security of the innocent, of those tlho are endeavouring to earn their daily bread by tht ir honest industry. Let habitual plunderers be dealt with on conviction as severely as the law permits— send those who are found to be incorrigible out of the country, as suggested by Mr. Marty WASON, or keep th€m in prolonged seclusion, compelling them to work harder within the prison wall; than they would be ri . quired to do to earn an honest livelihood without, as proposed by the Rev. JODN Davis, the excellent ordinary of Newgate—do everything practicsble to prevent youths from swelling the ranks of the criminal population, er to reclaim them SO long a 3 the slightest hoi.e can he entertained of their reformation ; but do not substitute suspicion for pioof, abrogate that which has long been considered the palladium of British liberty, 'or establish a police and magisterial despotism on the ruins of the Con • stitution even for objects so• desirable as to diminish the amount of crime, and afford additional security to property. Mr. limn:to whose excellent intentions and ex• emplarxpotivej we bear willing testimony, is Mtn self fully aware of the danger of legislating to meet a preNing emergency. 5J have no confidence," said the Learned Gentleman, " in the wisdom of laws which are prompted by exigencies. I have ever found that the eyes of the legislator, and of those who call upon him to act, are fixed at such junctures exclusively on the particular mis chief against which he is urged to provide ; and that he and they are prone to neglect the danger of letting in unconsidered evils, in their ardour to keen out the one which by the force of circumstances has obtained a great and undue hold over their minds." So far as Mr. limn is concerned this peril will not be encountered, for he declares that " the question is one which for years has engaged no small portion of his thoughts ;" but with the public generally, with even the representatives of the people, the matter is otherwise. Few, indeed, had until recently taken the subject into consideration ; and any decision at the present moment would necessarily be influenced by " the excitement and anxiety created by the difficul• ties into which we aro so unexpectedly plunged," and should, therefore, be carefully weighed, and even distrusted, before it could be acted on with any degree of safety. Mr. HILL declares, and unfortunately his state ment is too well founded to admit of contradiction, that " it is notorious to all the world that a numer ous class exists among us, known individually to the officers of justice, as persons who followed crime a 3 a calling, and who have no other means of subsistence than the remuneration which belongs to their nefari ous course of life. For a time, not unfrequently, ex tending over several years, they follow this calling with impunity, because no opportunity has been found 'to bring home to them any particular act of crime." It is known that they must necessarily commit almost deily offences, that they must plunder in order that they may live. The Learned Recorder speaks of this un toward state of affairs with the indignation it . so justly merits :—" That bands of enemies, to whom even the laws of war are unknown, or by whom they are disregarded, should be permitted to wander from town to town, making no secret of their contempt for justice and its guardians, braving the opprobrium of their calling, and only refraining from the most ap palling violence when they can secure their plunder without its aid, and while such bands are indivi dually as well known to the police as to each other, is a state of things which would disgrace an age of barbarism, and which nothing but long familiarity could enable us to contemplate without horror and astonishment !" These are sentiments in which all right-minded persons must concur. But what re medy can be adopted for the acknowledged evil which may not be even worse than the disease it is at tempted to cure ? That is the question—the im portant problem—the judicious solution cf which is tb be anxiously looked for. In order to meet the rapidly increasing evil, Mr. HILL proposes that " when, by the evidence of two or more crediMe witnesses, a jury has been satisfied that there is good ground for believing, and that the wit nesses do actually believe, that the accused party is ad dicted to robbery or theft, so as to deserve the appellation of thief, he shouid be called upon in defence to prove himself in the possession of means of subsistence lawfully obtained, either from his property, his la bour, or the assistance of his friends. On the failure of such proof, let him be adjudged a reputed thief, and put under high recognizances to be of good con duct for some limited period,"or, default of responsible bail, let him suffer imprisonment for the same term ; and until the experiment had been tried and found successful he would confine the operation of the law to persons who had already been convicted of felony, or of such a misdemeanor as necessarily implies dis honesty in the guilty party, as for instance obtaining money or goods under false pretences." The adoption of such a law would undoubtedly in flict a heavy blow and great discouragement upon the criminal population. The police noted easily get rid of obnoxious individuals ; but it would do more--it would prevent the possibility of reformation by any who had once unfortunately fallen. The first con viction would seal their doom. They would infallibly be followed with a keen and persevering animosity that would banish hope and drive them into renewed crime. They would practically be outlaws, and far better that they should he sent into perpetual banishment for the first offence than that the sword should be perpetually suspended over their heads. On this point, Mr. DAVIS, in his admirable report to the Lord Mayor and Aldermen on the state of Newgate, says—" I have known some very cruel cases, where information has been given that has thrown persons out of their honest livelihoods and plunged them into fresh trials, which some have successfully resisted, and others have, by the over officiousness of officers, been driven into their old courses by despair of ever doing well, and transporta tion has been the consequence." An attractive and anecdotal paper on "The Last Days of Louis PHILIPPE" lends a peculiar interest to the current number of the Quarterly. Not the least surprising among the changes effected by recent occurrences is the circumstance that we should peruse in the English organ of Conservatism a memorial no tice of his late Majesty the ex-King of the Barricades couched in language su singularly generous and beneficent. It would be a violation of all sincerity to deny that we have read this tribute of admiration to the memory of Louis PHILIPPE with a very pro found gratification. The heinous guilt of the departed as a Sovereign, the many criminal acts of his political life, the execrable policy which led first to the estrangement of the French multitude, and ultimately to the annihilation of his go vernment, have never blinded us at any period of his career to those extraordinary qualities which illustrated the brighter phases e,f his character, and imparted a beautiful fascination to the marvels of his vicissitudes. His domestic merits, throughout the whole of his long and chequered history, were ever conspicuous. His munificent patronage of genius and virtue was only surpassed in modern times by that of the Emperor NAPOLEOZI. His simplicity of habits, even during the days cf his greatest pomp, when seated on the throne of Louis the Magnificent, in vested his presence with a dignity beyond that of any ordinary potentate. His ripened scholarship, his eclectic tastes, above all the wonderful and yet unos• tentatious versatility of his accomplishmenta, added One loftier charms of intellect to the animated mannerisms of his conversation. At all timer, durirg the latter portion of his existence, upon all occasions without distinction, under every possible variety of circumstances, whether he received his visitors in the galleries of the Tuileries or in the saloons of Claremont, in the drawing-rooms of St. Cloud or in a bed-chamber of the Star and Garter at Richmond, Louis PHILIPPE displayed those qualities, sometimes brilliant, sometimes serene, which are the characteristics of a certain order of greatness. Men, however prejudiced, never failed to admire that Prince of an ancient and decaying race, who as far as his individual powers were concerned had drawn the gold of experience, thrice purified, out of the fires of misfortune, and who, in spite of all the mutaticn s of a revolutionary epoch, had, nevertheless, found leisure to cultivate to the very highest point of development those large and various talents with which his nature had been unquestionably invested. Estimating thus impartially the merits as well as the demerits of the deceased Monarch, it has been only a source of pleasure to ourselves to find "his many great qualities, his varied talents, his vast public ser • vices, and the unblemi s hed virtues of his private the subject of commemoration in the pages of the Tory Quarterly. Perhaps no Sovereign since the class c f his proto type ULYSSES was ever afforded such repeated and in estimable opportunities of learning wisdom by his wandering?, or of deriving the loftiest truths from the depth and singularity of his vicissitudes. Louts while yet a stripling, had tasted the sweeti of knowledge from the tuition of Madame DE GLISLI:‘, and the bitterness cf glory under the banners of Dumonair z. Ile had,:as it were, wit nessed the decapitation of an infamous parent by the blade of that avenging guillotine to which he bad de dicated the pufest tud the best Or Kings, out of a miserable truckling to Democracy. Driven from his native country by these event., he had found the who:e of his vast patrimonial estates coufiscated to that Liberty which, in ri,ing from its long attitude of prostration, had shaken (-Len the pomps Fn d the in stitutions the weight cf whose very gorgeoMseess had hitherto kept it in a state of eb,ssement. Exiled frog: France, and hes:gaud in his fortunes, the yourg Prince acquired for an interval a mean but honour able subsistence, by performing the duti=s of a school. master in one of the mathematical academies of Switzerland. It cannot be forgotten that but very recently, on the occasion of his de wise in his second banishment, we trued in these columns the line of his protracted peregrinations. We followed him from country to country, from continent to con tinent, from the rivers of Gsrmany to the forests of Canada, from the Arctic regions, already trodden by the foot of his countryman, CHATEAUBRIAND, to that palatial residence in Italy, where he claimed the hand of the Neapolitan Princess. Almost every one of the principal countries of Europe were traversed in this manner by the man whose ambition was destined to affect the interests of the world in 1830, to reign over the French kingdom for upwards of seventeen years, and ultimately, in 1848, to be crushed by an over whelming retribution. During his travels it: is not surprising to find that the Due D'OaLEAres acquired a multiplicity of accomplishments—speak ing with the fluency of a native, besides his mother tongue, the German, English, Spanish, and Italian languages. Insomuch was the ex-King remark able for this skill as a linguist, that the Quar terly Reviewer observes, as it were in illustra tive corroboration, " We have heard that last year, at a private concert, he (Louis Puiniers) surprised Mademoiselle JENNY LIND, by making her a compliment in very good Swedish" (p. 567). While thus sedulous in developing his intellectual faculties during the period of his wanderings, Louis PHILIPPE was careful in like manner to use those fa culties in one respect, at any rate, to the advantage of France during the period of his seventeen years' sovereignty. We allude to his adornment of that country with superb monuments and national edifices, the most splendid fruits of a glorious and prolonged tranquillity. In as far as he completed many of the sumptuous public works began either by King Louis XIV. or by the Emperor NAPOLEON, the departed Monarch has conferred inestimable advantages on France by the judicious employment of his regal and cultivated magnificence. The palace of Versailles alone would be a seicient attestation of this, were no other proof in existence —that gorgeous palace, which may be called the un written history of France, or a history written only, so to speak, by the brush and the chisel. The eulogiums pronounced over the tomb of Louis PHILIPPE by the English Quarterly have no reference, however, to this, being restricted principally to those more domestic excellences which reflected honour upon the deceased as a man. His equanimity under the pressure of misfortune is especially parti cularised, and is described as having been con spicuous during the days immediately following Isis expulsion from France in February. In illus tration of this admirable amenity of temperament, says the reviewer— ' Wo have heard a curious anecdote which was brought to light by a gentleman's jocularly calling him Mr. William Smith, in alusion to his having made bis escape fr:;rn France in that character which his knew ledge of English enabled him to support so well. Oh!' staid the King, gaily, I h :so another and earlier English name: I am also Mr. Geo-ge White, at your service." How so, Sir?" Why, after the Hundred Days I drew up a relation of my own share in the transactions of that time, and I wished to have it printed for a very limited and confiden tial circulation to a few friends. So I had a press set up in my house at Twickenharr, and hired a couple of journeymen printer=, who worked it under lock and key; but after ad these precautions, I was taken quite aback by being told that if any single copy should get, either by treachery or negligence, into strange hands, the volume might be reprinted and published with im punity; and that the only remedy for this was to enter the book at Stationers' Hall. So I lost no time in hastening to Stationers' Hall, where for, I think, the fee of two shillings, I entered my work as the property of George White, of Twickenham?' The anecdote is interesting, for inasmuch as it be tokens an agreeable suavity of disposition and a homely regard for the practices of English life. The whole paper, from which this account of the incident is extracted, will be found equally pleasant in perusal, and we can direct the attention of our readers the more readily and the more earnestly to its perusal from our appreciation of its pervading magnanimity. Both for its generous feeling and its ability the article is honourabla to tin Quarterly. We direct attention to a communication in another part of The Sun respecting an Irish Packet Station for the arrival and departure of packet-vessels to the West and East Indies, America, Spain, Portugal, the Mediterranean, &c. &c. Let Government throw all local and party considerations overboard in selecting the most eligible situation, and if they have the courage and the honesty to do so, we think they will fix on Berehaven, in thu noble bay of Bantry, ou the western coast of Ireland, as the very best for safety as well as the nearest for distance. am FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the French journals of yesterday, but at a very late hour. The Moniteur announces the appointment of Gene ral D'HaUTPOUL to the Government of Algeria, and of General SCHRAMM to the War Ministry. It remains to be seen whether the new Minister-at-War will be more yielding to the exigencies of General CHANGAIt, MER than his predecessor has been.

The Ministerial crisis in Hanover has for the present passed over. An understanding has taken place between the KING and his Ministers respecting the questions of internal policy. The KING has been ir:duced to sanction the laws of orgsniz Ition as voted by the Estates. But no understanding has been come to in questions of foreign policy, and another crisis is likely to come of it in th 3 course of next month.

Toe Weser Zeitung has letters from Altona of the 20:h ins►., stating that the Schleswig-Holstein outposts have again advanced to the turnpike be tween Seeth and Friederichstadt. The Gefion frigate has been towed into the inner harbour of Eckenforde, end Denmark has consented to the re moval of that vessel. We learn from the Copen hagen papers that the Danish army is preparing for a winter campaign. General WILLISEN has published an official list of the loss of the Schleswig-Holstein army before Friederichstadt. From this account it appears that there have been killed-12 officers, 10 non-commis sioned officers, and 51 privates ; wounded-23 officers, 43 non-commissioned officers, and 406 privates; missing —.3 officers, 9 non-commissioned officers, and 141 privates.

The power of governing the universal church en trusted by our Lard Jerus Christ to the Roman Pon- tiff, in the person of St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles, has maintained for centuries in the apostolic see the admirable solicitude with which it watches over the welfare of the Catholic religion in all the earth, and provides with zeal for its progress. Thus has been accomplished the design of its Divine Founder, who, by establishieg a chief, has in his profound wisdom en sured the safety of the church unto the uttermost time. The effect of this solicitude has &en felt in most na tions, an:l amongst these is the noble kingdom of Eng land. llietary proves that since the first ages of the church, the Christian religion was carried into Great B‘itain, where it flourished until towards the middle of the fifth century. After the invasion of the Angles and Saxons in that island, government as well as religion fell into a most deplorable state. At once our most holy predecessor Gre gory the Great sent the monk Augustine and his fol lowers ; then be created a great number of bishops, joined to them a multitude of monks and priests, brought. the Anglo-Saxons to religion, and succeeded by his influence in re establishing and extending the Catholic faith in all that country, which then began to assume the name of England. But to recall more recent facts, nothing seems more evident to us in the history of the Anglican schism of the sixteenth cen tury than the solicitude with which the Roman pon tiffs, our predecessors, succoured and supported, by all the means in their power, the Catholic religion, then expesed in that kingdom to the greatest dangers and reduced to the last extremities. It is with this object, apart from other means, that so many efforts have been made by the Sovereign Pontiffs, either by their orders or with their approbation, to keep in and de-voted to the support of England men ready Catholicism; and in order that young Catholics en dowed by nature might be enabled to come on to the continent, there to receive an education, and be formed with cars in the study of ecclesiastical science, especially in order that, being in sacred orders, they may on their return to their country be able to sup port their countrymen by the ministry of their word and by the sacraments, and that they may defend and propagate true faith. But the zeal of our predecessors will perhaps be more clearly admitted as regards what they have done to give the Catholics of England pastors clothed in an episcopal character at a time when a furious and im placable tannest had depr;ved them of the presence of bishops and their pastoral care. First, the apostolic letter of Gregory XV., commencing with these words, "Ecclesia Rowena," and dated the 231 of March, 1623, shows that the Sovereign Pontiff as soon as possible deputed to the Government of English and Scotch Catholic bishops, William Bishop, consecrated Bishop of Mikis, with ample faculties and powers. After the death of Bishop, Urban VIII. renewed this mission in his apostolic letter, dated January 4, 1625, addressed to Richard Smith, and conferring on him the bishopric of Chalcis, and all the posers previ ously resting on . Bishop. It seems subsequently, at the commencement of the reign of James 11., that more favourable days were about to dawn upon the Catholic religion. Innocent XI. profited at once by the circumstance and in 1685, he deputed John Ley burn, Bishop of Adrumede, as vicar apostolic for all the kingdom of England. Subsequently, by another aposte lic letter, dated the 30th of January, 1688, and commencing as f o llows " Super cathedram," he joined with L ey b urn three other vicars apostolic, bishops in by the care o f the apostolic nuncio in this partibus, so that all England , country, Ferdinand, Archbishop of Arnosia, was divided by that Pontiff into four districts ; that of Lendon, the west, the centre, and the north, which at first were governed by apostolic vicars, fur nished with proper faculties and powers. In the ac complishment of so grave a charge they received rules and succour either by the decisions of Benoit XIV., in his Constitution of May 30, 1753, which commences with the words " Apostolicum minis terium," or by those of other Pontiffs, our predeces sors and our congregation for the propagation of the faith. This division of all England into four apos tolic vicarages lasted till the time of Gregory XVI., who, in his apostolic letter, " Muneris apostolici," dated July 3, 1840, considering the increase of the 1 Catholic religion in England, and making a new Ec clesiastical division . of the country, doubled the nuns ber of vicarages, and confided the spiriturl govern anent of England to the vicars apostolic in London, of the west, the esst, the centre, of Lancaster; York, and the north. The little we have just said proves clearly that our predecessors applied themselves strongly to use all the means their authority gave them to console the Church of England for its immense disgraces, and to work for its resurrection. Having before its eyes, therefore, the good ex ample of our predecessors, and desirous, by imitating them, or fulfilling the duties of the supreme apostolate ; pressed, besides, to follow the movements of our heart for that portion of the Lord's vineyard, we proposed to ourselves, from the commencement of our pontifi cate, to pursue a work that was so well begun, and to apply ourselves in the most serious manner to favour every day the development of the church in this king dom. For this reason, considering as a whole the state of Catholicism in England, reflecting on the considerable number of Catholics which keep still in creasing, remarking that every day the obstacles are falling off which stood in the way of the extension of ' the Catholic religion, we have thought that the time was come when the form of ecclesiastical government should be resumed in England, such as it exists, freely exists, in other nations, where no particular cause ne cessitates the ministry of vicars-apostolic. We have thought that by the progress of time and things it was no longer necessary to have the English Catholics governed by vicars-apostolic, but, on the contrary, thet the changes which bad already been made neces sitated the ordinary form of episcopal government. We have been confirmed in these thoughts by the desires expressed to us by the vicars-apostolic in England, as well as by numb ers o f t h e c l ergy an d g ve ra n not failed to to implore vs,eiish ty affair laity distinguished by virtu e an d ran k , an d b y th e and Most sh ou l d Gracious b be m os God, and wishes of the great majority o f E ng li s h C at h o li cs . a l ud nm t a h t a u t r h in e g w th o iusldgrant us grace in this design we have theaid to resolveof th e upon Almightythat which suit able to augment the prosperity of the Church. We have further besought the assistance of the blessed ' Virgin Mary, Mother of God, and of the saints, whose virtues have made England illustrious, that they would deign to obtain by their intercession with God the happy success of this enterprise. We have since commended the whole business to the grave and serious consideretion of our venerable brothers the Cardinals cf the holy Roman Church forming our congretration for propagating the faith. These senti ments having. been found completely conformable to our own, we have resolved to sanction them, and carry them into execution. It is for this reason, after hav ing weighed the whole matter most scrupulously, that of our own proper motion, in our certain knowledge, and in the plenitude of cur apostolic power, we have resolved and do hereby decree the re-e s tablishment in the kingdom of England, and according to the com mon laces of the Church, of a hierarchy of bishops deriving their titles from their own sees, which we constitute by the present letter in the various apt sto lie districts. To commence with the district of Lon don, it will form two sees—to wit, that of Westminster, which we hereby elcyate to the metropolitan of archi episcopal dignity, and that of Southwark, which we assign to it as suffragans together with those which we proceed to indicate. The diocese of Westminster will include that portion of the aforesaid district which extends to the binks of the Thames, and com prehends the counties of Middlesex, Essex, and Hert fordshire ; that of Southwark, on the south of the Thames, will include the counties of Beds, South ampton, Surrey, Sussex, and Kent, with the Isles of Wight, Jersey, Guernsey, and others adjacent. In the northern district there will be but one episcopal see, which will take its name from the town of Hag glestown, and have for its circumscription that of the existing district. The district of York will also be a diocese whose capital will be the town of Beverley. In the district of Lancashire there will be two bishops, of whom one, the Bishop of Liverpool, will have for his diocese the Isle of Mona, the districts of Lons dale, Arnounderness, and West Derby; and the other, the Bishop cf Salford, will extend his jurisdiction over Salford, Blackburn, and Leyland. The county of Chester, though belonging to this district, will le united to another diocese. In the district of Wale s two episcopal sees will be established, that of Salop and that of Merioneth arid Newport united. The diocese of Salop will contain the coun ties of Anglesea, Carnarvon, Denbigh, Flint, Merio - neth, and Montgomery, to which we join the county of Cni ster, detached from the district of Lancaster, and that of Salop from the centre. To the diocese of the Bishop of Merieneth and Newport are assigned the counties of Brecknock, Glamorgan, Carmarthen, Pemleroke, and Rsdnor, also the English counties of Hereford and Monmouth. In the western district we create two sees, Cl:fron and Ply mouth ; the first com prehending the counties of Gloucester, Somerset, and Wilts; the second those of Devon, Dorset, and Corn- wall- The central district, from which we have de- ' tached the county of Salop, will have two episcopal sees, Nottingham and Birmingham ; to the first we assign the counties of Notts, Derby, Leicester, Lin cols, and Rutland ; to the second the counties of Stafford, Bucks, Oxford, an d Warwick. In the eastern distri c t t h ere w ill he one see, which will take its name from the town of Northampton, and retain the present circumspection of the distric t, e x ce pt t h e counties of Lincoln and Rutland, which we have as signed to the diocese of Nottingham. Thus, in the very flourishing kingdom cf England there will be one single ecclesiastical province, with one archbishop and twelve suffraganp, whose zeal and pastoral labours will, we hope, by the grace of God, bring new and daily increase to the power of Catho licism. For this reason we reserve to ourselves and successors the right to divide this province into seve ral, and to increase the number of its bishoprics as new on , ,q, may be required, and in general to settle their boundaries as It may appear meet before the Lord. Meanwhile, we enjoin the archbishop and bishops to furni, , h at stated seasons reports of the state of their churches to our congregation of the Propaganda, and not to emit informing us en all points concerning the spiritual good of their flocks. We shall continue to avail ourLelves of the aid of the congregation of the Propagmda in all that concerns the affairs of the Church in England. But in the sacred government of the clergy and people, end all which concerns the pastoral office, the archbishop and bishops of England will erijcy ell the rights and faculties which bishops and archbishops can use, according to the disposition of the sacred canons and the apostolic constitutions, and they will likewise be equally bound by all the obligations to which other bishops and archbishops are held by the common discipline of the Catholic Church. Their rights and duties will not be in any case im paired by anything that is at present in vigour, whether originating in the former form of the Eng lish Church, or in the subsequent missions instituted in virtue of special constitutions, privileges or customs, now that the same state of things no longer exists. And in order that no doubt may remain, we suppress, in the plenitude of our apostolic power, and entirely abrogate all the obligatory and juridical force of the said spe cial constitutions, privileges, and customs, however ancient their date. The archbishop and bishops of England will thus have the integral power to re gulate all that belongs to the execution of the com mon law, or which are left to the authority of the bishops by the general discipline of the Church. As for us, most assuredly they shall never have to com plain that we do not sustain them by our apostolical authority, and we shall alway s be happy to second their demands in all which appears calculated to pro mote the glory of God and the good of souls. In decreeing this restoration of the ordinary hierarchy of bishops in England, and the enjoyment of the common law of the Church, we have had principally in view the prosperity and increase of the Catholic religion in the kingdom of England ; but we have also desired to gratify the desires of so many of cur reverend brethren governing in England, under the style of vicars apostolic, and also cf a great number of our dear children of the Catholic clergy and people. Many of their ancestors presented the same prayer to our predecessors, who had begun to send vicars apostolic to England, 'a here no Catholic bishop could exercise the common ecclesiastical law in his own church, and who afterwards multiplied the num ber of vicars-apostolic, and of districts, not because religion was submitted in this country to one cxcep , tional rule, but rather because they would prepare the foundation for the future rebuilding of the ordi nary hierarchy. This is why we, to whom it has been given by the grace of God to accomplish this great work,declare here that it is not in any manner in our thoughts or in tentions that the bishops of England, provided with the name and rights of ordinary bishops, should be destitute of any advantages, of whatever nature they may be, w hieh they formerly enjoyed under the title of vicars-apostolic. It would be contrary to reason to allow any acts of ours performed at the earnest prayer of the English Catholics, and for the benefit of reli gion, to turn to their damage. Rather we cherish the firm hope that our dear chilli en in Christ, whose alms and largesses have never been wanting to sustain in England religion, and the prelates who govern there as a icars, will exercise a still larger liberality to the bishops who are now attached by permanent bonds to the English Church, in order that they may not be deprived of temporal aid, which they will re quire to ornament their temples and adorn the Divine service, to support the clergy and the poor, and for other ecclesiastical services. Finally, lifting the eyes to the Almighty and Gracious G id, from whom comes our help, we supplicate him with all instance, obsecra tion, and action of grace, to confirm by Divine grace all that we have decreed for the good of the Church, and to give of his grace to those whose it is to execute these decrees, that they may feed the fioek of God committed to their care, and that their zeal may be applied to spread the glory of his name. And, in order to obtain the most abundant succovr of celestial grace, we finally invoke, as inter cessors with God, the holy Mother of God, the blessed apostles St. Peter and St. Paul, with the blessed perons of England, and especially St. Gre gory the Great, in order that the solicitude we have displayed, notwithstanding the insufficiency of our merit, to restore the episcopal sees of England, which he founded in his days with so much advantage to the Church, may likewise redound to the good of the Catholic Church. We decree that this apostolic letter shall never be taxed with subreptice or obrep tice, nor be protested for default either cf intention or any defect whatever, but always be valid and firm, and hold good to all intents and purposes, notwith standing the general apo3tolic edicts which have ema nated from synodal provincial or universal councils, the special sanctions, as well as the rights of former sees in England, missions apostolic, vicarages consti tuted in the progress of time, notwithstanding, in one word, all things contrary whatsoever. We likewise decree that all which may be done to the contrary by any one, whoever he may be, knowing or ignorant, in the name of any authority whatever, shall be with out force. We decree that copies of this letter, signed by a notary public, and sealed With the seal of an ecclesiastic, shall be everywhere received at the expression of our will. Given at St. Peter's, at Rome, under the seal of the fishernisn, the 24th of September, 1850, and in the fifth year of our pontificate. A. CARDINAL LAMBRUSCIIINI. AMERICAN NEWS. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY MORNING. By the American mail steamer Atlantic, Capta'n 'West, we have advices from New York to the 12th instant. The Europa had arrived out. Exchange was quoted at 1091. Cotton holders were very film, in consequence of unfavourable advices from the South. Bread.tuffs—Flour market dull and heavy, corn meal inactive. Indian Corn in demand at lower prices. Freights—To Liverpool inactive, to London ir regular. ADDISCOMDE.—The Governorship of the East India Company's Military College at Addiscombe, near Croydon, has become vacant by the decease of Major- General Sir Ephraim Stannus, C.P. The appointment which is one of considerable value, is in the gift of the chairman and directors of the company. Sir Ephraim Stannus was a most efficient Governor, and his death is deeply lamented by the whole body of gentlemen cadets and other studente. THE NEW STAMP ACT.—It has been already stated that great activity has prevailed at the office of Stamps and Taxes, at Somerset-house, for the last month, in preparing to meet the demands that wore expected from the alteratio❑ under the new Stamp Act for deeds, leases, transfers, agree ments, and other stamps, reduced under the new scheme of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which has given so great an impetus to legal business throughout the United King dom. The demands for stamps under the new Act have been so great for the country districts that the Commissioners are still obliged to keep the employes in full work from nine A.M. till nine rM. in what is called the " dry department," in stamping the numerous parchments sent in. It will be at least another month before the quantity required to be com pleted can be transmitted to the parties. likLoudon there have been upwards of 1,000,003 stamps already delivered to the different solicitors, law agents, &o. The average num ber of postage stamps sent to the Post-office is 12,0001. per week, besides those for the country. THE FREEHOLD LAND MOVEMENT.-MEETING AT Nonwrcit —On Tuesday evening last the Norwich Reform Committee commenced their operations for the coming year, by a public meeting in St. Andrew's hall, at which ‘l: . m. Scholefield, Esq., M.P., for Birmingham, and Mr. James Taylor, the secretary of the Freeholders' Union, were invited to attend, for the purpose of explaining the principles of the freehold movement. James Coleman, Esq., the sheriff, pre sided. The following resolution was put to the meeting, and unanimously passed :—`•That the meeting has heard with the utmost interest of the great success which has attended the efforts to extend the freehold franchise in the northern, midland, and metropolitan oJunties, and believes that by the adoption of the same system in this district of the kingdom, a not less triumphant instance might be furnished to the country of its adaptation to advance the popular cause; and that it be referred to the executive committee to take im mediate measures for giving effect to this resolution." The meeting then separated. Two PIGEONS ARRIVED /ROM SIR JOHN ROSS - We have learned from a private source, that on Friday last, two of the carrier pigeons taken with him when he left the Port of Ayr, and some of which were to be dispatched home in the event of his either finding Sir John Franklin or being frozen in, arrived at A 3 r, finding their way at once to th e clove-cot which they occupied previous to their being taken away. The birds, we understand, arrived within a sh or t time of each other, hut neither of them, we regret to b e in formed, conveyed anything in the shape of letter or no t e of any kind. One of them, indeed, had had som e d oc u ment attached, and was found to be considerably mu til ated—it having apparently been shot away. The ti me t h ey were liberated by Sir John Ross is, of etirse, uncertain, but taking into consideration the well-known p owers of fl i ght possessed by the carrier pigeon, it cannot have been very long s:nce they left our gallant countryman. The arrival of authentic news from the Arctic regions will be looked forward to with additional anxiety,. from the p ro b a bili ty wh i ch has now arisen that some thlings ma) have been heard of Sir John Franklin. Independent, however, of the interest which t they r a 0 travel oln a r 3 by . otherwise attaches to the extraordinary High` of the pigeons it will be regarded by naturalists as a most r anai k a bl e inci dent. We do not recollect cf any paralls-1 to it. The dis tance the creatures must have traversed =rot be far short sight, and no by scent, Sir John Ross, we be lieve, took five pigeons with him, whi c h, i t may b e remem bered, were stated, in the last accounts re ce i ve d o f him, to the fact miles, is tli a m n o d re as ex have been at that time all alive, so that there are Mill three to be accounted for.—North Britidt Mail, a MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

Surat at sid to 5 4 1 ,1; and 80 Sea Island at is lid to is 10d per lb. —ln Railway Shares a fair business was done, but prices had a downward tendency. The stcck of sugar in the principal ports of Great Britain, Hcmburgh, Holland, and Antwerp was on the Ist inst. about 132,054 tons,,of which 115,054 tons were here. At the corresponding date of 1849 the total stock was 167,956 tuns; and of 1848, 162,176. tons. Of coffee the stock o❑ the Ist inst. in the same places was, 35 880 tons, against 39,232 tons at the like date of 1849, and 58,814 tons in October 1848. In the instances of both these impertaut staples, there!ore, the recline is important. The steamer Atlantic is telegraphed, but her letters will not be received here until to•morrow. The heavy weather has again occasional a delay in the arrival of the mails, and there is consequently not much commercial information from abroad. At Amsterdam on the 22d inst., Dutch Stock was ra►her better, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. being 56g. A fair business was dune. Spanish Bonds were higher, and Mc xican were in request. The rate of exchange on London for bills at short date was 11 90. Gold in bars of 1,4421. 60 per Netherlands pound was at 12 to 13 per cent., aed silver was at 104 to 104 60.

According :to official returns the note circulation of &gland during the month ending the sth instant was 25,345,3611., a decrease compared with the previous mouth, of 330,823/. ; and the total for the United Kingdom was 33,082,4152, an increase of 78,6061. Compared with 1849 there is an increase of 1,954,932/. The English Funds have been depressed, an - article in the Times representing that France and Russia proposed to act aggressively against Prussia, having led to specu lative sales. There is really no particular apprehension felt, however, that the interference or connivance cf Prussia in:the Holstein war, in vielation of its late treaty, will be kept up contrary to the energetic remonstrance of the :allied powers; but such a piece of informa tion coming upon the heels of money sales, opeas a field for the Bears, and is " good" with them for or 1 per cent.
