IRELAND. LORD JOHN B'JSSELL ' S MANIFaTO. DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING. The following important corre-wondence between the Irish prelates and his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury hai bec-n forwarded for publication in thy Dublin Evening To UIS GRACE TIM LORD ARCRBISUOP OF CANTER BURY. " We, the undersigned archbishops and bishops of the United Chur,h of England and Ireland, have seen in the public prints a document entitled ' An fiumble Address of the Archbishops and a shops of the Church of E! and commencing with the following words: May it phase your Msjesty, we, the Archbishops and undersigned Bishops of the Church of England, approach your Majesty,' &c. It is with much regret, and not without apprehension, that we have oh:let-ye-I the title by which your Grace and the Archbishop of York, together with the suffragan bishops of the two pro vinces under your jurisdiction, have designated your selves in addressing our Sovereign—a title which, we beg permission to say, is unknown to the law of the land, and which imports a virtual denial of the tifth article cf union between England and Ireland. Your Grace is aware that by the statute 39 and 40 George c. 67, it is enacted, that the Churches of England and Ireland, as now by law established, be united into one Protestant Episcopal Church, to be called " the United Church of England and Ireland."' The title-page of cur Book of Common Prayer, and the form of ordaining priests, bear their solemn testimony to the incorporation of the two churches into one, and to the designation by which that one church is to be known. " We have painfully felt that of late years, as well in legislating on ecclesiastical affairs as on many public oc casions, a disposition has been manifested to regard the Irish provinces of the united Church as if they did not form an integral portion of the one Church of the nation. We are conscious that the Irish branch of the Church is peculiarly expozed to the attacks of its enemies; and we are, on that account, the more apprehensive of any step being taken which has a tendency, even in ap pearance, to dissociate our provinces and bishoprics from that great community with which it is our hap piness, and we hope our safety, to be identified. We, therefore, nut unnaturally fear the effect which may be produced by a movement on the part of our English brethren against a common adversary, in which they have not only acted without any concert or communica tion with us, but have styled themselves by a name which would seem to intimate that they are prelates of a separate church from ours, and wish to appear so before har Majesty. " We beg to assure your Grace that, in submitting this statement to your consideration, we are not actuated by wounded feeling of disappointment or dissatisfaction, but we deem that we owe it to the Church in which we bear office to guard, as far as in our power, against a separation being made between the component parts of the national Church, which were most solemnly and au thoritatively united together into one. We confidently hope that the form of designation employed in your ad dress was adopted inadvertently, and not from a design to disclaim a connexion with the provinces of Armagh and Dublin. And we trust that we may reckon on having the aid, the sympathy, and the prayers of the archbishops and bishops of the provinces of Canterbury and York in whatever difficulties and dangers may yet await our portion of the Church. " We would respectfully request of your Grace to communicate this expression of our sentiments to the several prelates who signed the address to her Majesty. "JOHN G. ARMAGH. " RICHARD DUBLIN. " THOMAS S. MEATH. " J. KILMORE, ELPUIN. and ARDAGII. " R. DERRY and RAPHOE. " LUDLOW KILLALOE and CLONFERT. " THOMAS TUAM, &c. " J. T. OSSORY and FERNS. " ROBERT CASHEL,. &c. " JAMES CORK and CLOYNE. " ROBERT DOWN and CONNOR. " WILLIAM LIMERICK, AItI)FERT, and AGIIADOE." ANSWER OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY. "Addingtun, Croydon, Dec. 31, 1850. " My Lord Archbishop,—l beg to acknowledge the reef ipt of a lst.er signed by your Grace, by the Arch bishop of Dublin, and all the Irish bishops, referring to the recent address of the English Bench to her Majesty, in which they were styled the archbishops and bishops of the Church of England.' " I am anxious to assure your Grace, and my other right rev, brethren in Ireland, that this designation did net otiginate in any desire to represent ourselves an a separate body, but was employed solely because, in the present instance, ' the movement of the common adver sary' was immediately directed against ourselves. " It dtd nol appear to any of the bishops whom I had the opportunity of consulting that we could properly invite the Irish bishops to complain of an aggression which only affected the Church in England. At the same time, I am ready, for my own part, to ackuow. ledge that the document would have been more correctly worded, if it had been written in the name of the Eng lieh archbishops and bishops of the United Church of England and Ireland. It would have been better to have indicted an inharmonious sentence than to have given ground for the apprehensions expressed in your Grace's letter. " I will take an early opportunity of communicating the letter to my episcopal brethren, who at present are dispersed in their various dioceses. But I can venture to say, in their behalf, that we all consider the Irish branch of the United Church to be ho closely identified wittrour own, that if one member suffere, the other ' cennut fail to suffer with it, and that in all cases where co-operation is desirable or practicable we shall be ready to act with your Grace and the other Irish prelates as an united body. _ .

SIR,—I have the pleasure of forwarding you 205., the produce of a shilling subscription from a few assistants, for promoting the apprehension of Mrs. Sloane. We consider that the sum voted by the guardians of the West London Union, though generous on their part, yet inadequate to set in motion the heavy ma• chinery by which it is alone likely this woman may now be brought , to justice; and, while the City cor poration are looking coldly on, in the full conscious ness that probably the ends of justice may be en tirely defeated unless the chief perpetrator of this crime is placed upon her trial, and to whose Alder man (from false notions of delicacy towards the wife of a special pleader) we are indebted for the necessity of this movement, while the Home Secretary even is observing a tacit indifference anything but creditable to the Government, we trust that all classes of the employed (AM, by their pence and shillings, speedily remove this great obloquy from the nation, and show the powers that be they have a heart that can feel, and a will to exercise in a cause of suffering humanity. Many persons, we know, consider this a somewhat dangerous precedent, and would prefer promoting a subscription for the direct benefit of the poor girl, but, Sir, the Slcanes are either guilty of this crime, with all its atrocities, or Jane \Vilbred's statement is exaggerated, and we think that her hest friends will be best serving her at present by assisting the prosecution, when, if the result exhibits her testi mony unshaken, we are sure that an appeal on her behalf will be warmly and generously responded to. I remain, Sir, yours respectfully, It(gent-street, Jan. 6. F. C. C. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. send you eighteen postage-stamps, the sub scription of self nod friends, in augmentation of the rewavd offered for the apprehension of Mrs. Sloane. Should this woman—if we must so call her, though possc6sirz none but the outward attributes of her sex— esci.i.e the punishment due to her atrocities, it will be a lasting reprot,ch 10 the adminiatrat;ou of justice, and a source of uninitigced regret to all who are not devoid of COMMON HUM ANITY. P. S. Ought not the Sioaues and their French ac complice to be tried for an attempt to murder, instead of a common assault ? What proof is there that such was not their inteulion ? So tar as the evidence at present goes, it riii*es au irresistible suspicion that their object, in purposely starving their victim, was to remuve her as noisel( ssly as possible, for some cogent reason best known to themselves. Could it be an outbreak of spontaneous ferocity killing without motive, and utmost ngainst :elf-hitcrest—a hellish love of torturing, and a fiendi.h exultation over the sufferings of the fatherless and the unfriended ? CALIFORNIA. Extracts of a letter from San Francisco, dated let October, 1350: u All personal news respecting me you will glean from my correspondence with my relatives ; in a line I will add it up, and say that I have outrivalled St. Paul in disasters and perils oft' by land and sea. I inn at last comfortably located in an old Spanish adobe (mud) building, one of the oldest and largest in the city of San Francisco, with an office in Montgomery street, and part of a cottage on the beach for recreation at leisure hours. The contrast to my fortunes of the past year is cheering, and if my manifest destiny is really to advance, I shall go on my way rejoicing. . . • Sir Henry Huntley brought out here a troop of Cornish miners, steam-engines, &c., for the Anglo-Californian Mining and Dredging Com pany ; but as the reports on which the company was founded in England were not quite true, the very successful Mariposa Mining Company, belonging to an American directory in California, and now in full activity, has been incorporated with it. The quartz vein on the Mariposa is wonderfully productive, and Sir H. Huntley has ascertained it by a couple of long and adventurous trips to the spot, and has there with his own hands gathered up the lumps of quartz, and pul verizsd them himself beneath the stampers of the steam engines now at work there with some of his own Cornish miners. In four bandsful of the pulverized quartz which Sir henry took out from under the stamper, and which quartz, before being placed under it, did not appear to contain any gold as all, he took seven dollars' worth of gold dust in granular particles and when Sir Henry was there at the mine 300 tons of rock were ready for the machine or steam-engine stamper. So you can speak about the quartz rock with certainty, for Sir Henry Huntley is too much of the fine old English gentleman' to play the hum bug in the least. He would go and examine for him self, or he would have nothing to do with the concern. The American Mariposa Mining Company is composed of the strongest (in pocket) and shrewdest men in California, and I make no doubt that an immense fortune awaits all hands connected with this undertaking. M— will show you some very rich specimens I forwarded by this mail, together with a superb crystal of quartz. These. companies will be the end of the Californian gold mining operations ; all the placer' collections are mere abrasions from the original rocks, mere in tegrations; the quartz being rotted, out shells the gold in dusty or lumpy particles; these are washed by in cessant mountain torrents, which have continued for countless eges down the Butches and ravines; but the true matrix is the rocky range of quartz, so often met with both in Alta and Lower California. The corn : punies t therefore, who work in the direction I have indicated, will succeed immensely, for where the quartz rock is met with in the gold districts, there the success will continue, as to the produc tiveness of the auriferous wealth, for many ,iiundred years, to come. The same remark applies to Los Angelo's Rocks, which are black gneiss, with mica or micha. The Los Angeles Company, in about six weeks, will be another startler as to wealth. A dozen companies must, when at work, with a few hundred steam-engine stampers, make an immense - increase of the precious metal. How soon and to what extent the price of gold will be changed I can not say but the millions got out have not added one ioui as yet to Jonathan's pile,' for millions of dollars are this year lying squandered on the plains in the shape of broken mule-teams, dead oxeii, broken fur ziiture and nierchanclize, which 60,000 emigrants • have covered the whole roadway with in endeavour , iree to make this country across for the various States of the Union. The sufferings have been awful in the extreme. Gold, gold, is preferred even to life itself l When will this world be a wise one ? The city of San Francisco is going up fast, and each suc cessive knock down given to it by the fires, seems to add to its alter beauty and improvement I never hear of any ef those maudlin regrets, which the natives of Europe indulge in after being well singed or ruined. Here people are knocked down and and lose everything, but spring up again on their legs, and begin to push on without looking back once." _ (The above is copied from the Taunton Courier and Western Advertiser of Dec. 25, 1850.) TIIE LATE ACCIDENT ON Tnp, EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.—We understand that three of the ser vants of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company, and a guard in the emplo y ment of the Scottish Central Railway Company, are indicted to stand their trial before the High Court of Justiciary on the 10th instant, as having been im plicated in the fatal accident at Cowlairs, on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, in August last.— Courant.

Her Majesty's Commissioners having communi cated with the several departments of her Majesty's Go vernment, are enabled to announce that arrangements have been made to facilitate the registration of designs proposed for exhibition, with the view of protecting them from piracy. 2. Designs applicable to the following classes of articles of manufacture or substances may be the subjects of pro visional regi.tration:- 3. Original designs for ornamenting— Articles composed wholly or chiefly of metal. Articles composed wholly or chiefly of wood. Articles composed wholly or chiefly of glass.

The provisional registration lasts for twelve months from the date of registration, and may be ex tended for a. further period of six months; by order of the Board of Trade. 6. The necessary forms* and conditions having been observed, the right of the proprietor of the design is protected from piracy by a penalty of from 51. to 30/. for each offence, each individual illegal publication or sale of a design constituting a separate offence. The penalty may be recovered by toe aggrieved party, either by action in the superior courts, or by a sum mary proceeding before two magistrates. 7. Until articles for exhibition can be received in the building in Hyde-park patties desiring to regisier a de sign applicable to any article as aforesaid must apply at the Designs-oflic:., No. 4, Somerset-place, Somerset house, between the hours of ten and f..mr. Deigns are registered from eleven to three, for a fee of is. in res pect of orminaenial designs, and of 10s, in respect of the designs for articles of utility. When the designs so registered have been certified es having been deposited in the building of the exhibition, such fees will be re turned. 8.

" I make only one exception in the midst of all these human casualties, and that is in favour of the dance, and I rejoice and glory in having to say that once more in our little community the whole world has begun to dance. Thanks to such a lightning conductor, there is no longer any fear that the lightning may fall upon our heads. Our beauteous dames and their accom plished daughters, not three timer, as was formerly the case, but four times a week, may now dance and waltz, if so they please, without the least apprehension. " How many enjoyments, how many advantages re sult from these re-unions, for which we are indebted to two or three honses, lovers of the elegances of life, and to two ef the Legations (the English and Russian), one of whom (the English) was the first to give the impulse and to originate these amusements, which has rescued us from the narrow confinement in which we were hound hand end foot, every one must perceive himself without our sugtzestion. Independently the bodily deassernent and exer cise whien they afford, these receptions have largely contributed to the development of elegant enjoyment, of good feeling, and intellectual improvement; they hnve brought together men of the moat opposite parties to the great benefit of our politics generally, and to the soften ing and civilizing of our manners. For in there circles the Moseomany lute (the French), the Nappist (the Rus sian), and the English party now approach each other, hold out the hand of reciprocal friendship, and em brace each other, as the eagle once with the fox. The minister and the diplomatist with their respective sub ordinates. and officials are there to be found in ani mated conversation. The general is thrown together Kith the lieutenant—the professor with the student—the journalist of the Opposition with the journalist of the Mtuister —but, above all, are we astonished at the sim plicity, theirace, the cordiality, and beauty of the nu mt rous Oren and foreign ladies who honour them; and on every side surprised at the facility and spirit which nistinguished the dancing of our young ladies of every age and class. " Before I conclude this resume of the month I have to announce to my intellectual lady readers that my prayers have been heard; within a short period we shall have an Italian theatre, and our pr i m a donna Virginie Marchesina is, as we have seen with our own eyes in one of the Italian papers, an artist of the first merit, an ad mirable singer, an excellent actress, and above all, ) oung and of surpassing beauty. " What more does happy Hellas require? and if it be true that a French vaudeville company is also to arrive, what have we to envy others, even the most advanced communities, unless it be an eighth Minister, to watch specially over this department, of which for the present she is deprived.

THE STATE OF WESTMINSTER•FIRILDGE..— This ricketty old structure, so frequently tinkered and cobbled, is beginning to show signs of increasing tottering and decay. The fourth arch from the north, and which was giving way some time ago on the west and east sides of it near the crown of the arch, and which was patched up for the time, is again beginning to appear cranky, and the key-stone itself has slipped a little on the west side, and left at the top of it an opening of nearly an inch, as nearly as we could judge. At this season of the year, when the volume of water in the river is liable to be greatly increased from high tides from below and floods from above, the proper authorities should examine the structure, and use every precaution for the safety of the public. Dr. Delany, who is called the Bishop of Cork, has written a letter to Cardinal Wiseman, congratulating his Eminence on his recent appointments by the Pope, and ex pressive of his surprise that the toulish and ignorant people of England have been so ungrateful as not to receive the Archbishop of Westminster with deepfelt and enthusiastic joy.—North Wales Chronicle. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. RAILWAY TRAFFIC IN 1850. It appears that the gross traffic receipts cf ra il ways in the United Kingdom for the year 1850 amounted to 13,142,235/. on 6,734 miles of rail way. The re turns published weekly show that 12,755.2351. was received on the railways during the past year, on 6,257 miles, including about 200 miles of venal, being an increase of 1,741,4181. in the receipts over the pre ceding year on 5,161 miles of railway, and also an increase of 1,096 miles in operation. Independent of these railways, there are about 17 new lines in opera tion, of an eggrr gate length of 279 miles, the traffic returns on which are not published weekly, but may be estimated at 107,0001. for various periods during the past year, some being partially open and others only for a few months. In addition to these there are 13 other lines, of an aggregate length of 216 miles, belonging to old railway companies who do not pub lish their traffic returns ; but it appears from the re turns to the Railway Commiss►oners that the gross receipts on these lines are about 280,000/. These sums, added to the preceding, show that the gross traffic receipts on the above railways during the past year amounted to 13,142,2351.; and the agregate length of railway open, and over which the traffic was carried was 6,257 miles, being at the rate of 1,9441. per mile per annum. With regard to the traffic returns of the rail ways in Great Britain and Ireland, published weekly, they show a progressive increase during the past nine years. In the year 1842 they amounted to 4,341.7811.; in 1843, to 4 842,650/. ; in 1844, to 5,610,980/. ; in 1845, to 6,669,2301.; in 1846, to 7,689,8701.; in 1847, to 8,975,671/. ; in 1848, to 10,059,000/. ; in 1849, to 11,013,8201.; and in 1850, to 12,755,2351: It will be observed that the annual increase in the re ceipts has been very considerable during the compa ratively short period in which the railway system has been in operation. This increase partly arises from the continual development of the traffic on the trunk lines and partly from the additional receipts derived from the opening of new lines and branches. The in crease of traffic in the year 1843 over that of the pre ceding year amounted to 500,8701. ; in the year 1844, to 768,3371.; in 1845, to 1,058,340/. ; in 1846, to 1,020,650/. ; in 1847, to 1,285,780/. ; in 1848, to 1,083 335/. ; in 1849, to 954,810/. ; and in 1850 the increase over the preceding year amounted to the large sum of 1,741,4181. At the end of the year 1841 1,510 miles were open to the public; during the next year an additional length of 56 miles of new railway was opened for traffic; in 1844 a further length of 194 miles was opened ; in 1845, 261 miles ; in 1846, 593 miles ; in 1847, 839 miles ; in 1848, 975 miles; in 1849, 834 miles ; and in the year 1850 the published returns show an addi tional mileage of 1,096 miles ; but this is not an actual increase in the mileage opened during the year, for it includes the length of several lines open for traffic prior to 1850; but the traffic returns were not published until 1850 ; the same observation will apply to the mileage of 1849, but to a less extent. The ag gregate length of new railway opened during 1850 in the United Kingdom is nearly 590 miles, including 79 miles of the Great Northern trunk line. The average traffic receipts per mile show the effect of opening within the past four years so many miles of branch and competing lines of railway. During the year 1842 the gross traffic receipts averaged 3,118/. per inilo; in 1843, 3 0851.; in 1844, 3,278/. ; in 1845, 3,469/. ; in 1846, 3 305/. ; in 1847, 2,870/. ; in 1848, 2556/.; in 1849, 2,302/. ; and in 1850, 2,247/. ThiN shows a falling oft' in the traffic per mil e during four years of more than 30 per cent.; but fortunately during the past year the receipts per mile are not much under those of 1849. The re duc tien in the receipts per mile would ba a matter of no great consequence, provided the average cost of con structing the railways was proportionably reduced, say i the same ratio of the traffic per mile, from 33,000/. to 22,000/. per mile, and so on in like man lier with every additional mile added to the system. Unfortunately this not the case, as the following will show :-In 1842 the cost cf the railways in operaticn averaged 34,690/. per mile; in 1843, 36,3601.; in 1844, 35,670/ ; in 1845, 35,070/. ; in 1846, 31,860/. ; in 1847, 31,700/.; in 1848, 34,234/ ; in 1849, 35,214/.; and in 1850, 35,229/. A comparison of the average cost per mile in 1845 of 35,070/., when there were only 2,040 miles of railway open, with the ave rage cost in 1850 of 35,2291., when there were 6,257 miles open, shows that an increase in the cost per mile has taken place, notwithstanding that 4,217 miles of additional railways and branch railways have been constructed. The increase, instead of a con siderable decrease in the average cost per mile, is a very alarming feature in railway statistics, because it shows clearly that the continued additions to the capital accounts of old and completed lines of railway far outweigh all the professed advantages of con structing thousands of miles of, new railways and branches of considerably less cost than the average expenditure per mile on the old trunk lines. It is very clear that, unless the capital accounts of the old and completed railways are closed as soon as possible, the average cost per mile will go on gradually in creasing year after year, and thus neutralize all the advantages which shareholders may reasonably expect from the progressive development of the traffic. The capital expended on the railways above re ferred to amounted in July, 1842, to 52,380,1001.; in 1843, to 57,635,000/.; in 1844, to 63,489,100/. ; in 1845, to 71,647,000/. ; in 1846, 83,165,100/.; in 1847, 109,528,0001.; in 1845, 148,200,000/. ; in 1849, 181,000,000/. ; and in 1850, 219,762,700/. The gross traffic returns per cent. on the capital expended amounted in 1842 to 8.29 per cent.; in 1843, to 8.42 ; in 1844, to 8.84 ; in 1845, to 9.30 ; in 1846, to 9.25; in 1847, to 8.20 ; in 1848, to 6.78 ; in 1840, to 6.13; and in 1850, to 5.80 per cent. The return shows the absolute necessity of closing the capital account of railways. The expenditure on the new and old lines, the traffic returns of which are not published weekly, amounts to about 10,760,0001, making, with the 219,762,700/., a total of 230,522,700/. expended on 6,734 miles of railway, being at the rate of 34,2001. per mile. ACCIDENT ON THE LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—We have elsewhere noticed the recurrence of one of those extensive floods which periodically overwhelm the lower parts of this city and the immediate vicinity. On Tuesday morning the non-arrival of the down London mail at its appointed time gave rise to apprehensions for its safety, particularly as the appearance of the suburbs of the city were a melancholy evidenoe of the violence of the storm which had raged overnight. After some hours of suspense the mail ar rived, when it was ascertained that an accident had occurred. , but of a comparatively trifling description. A small water course in the neighbourhood of Shap, called Shap beck, runs parallel with the railway for some distance, and crosses and re-crosses the line. In dry weather it is but an in significant stream, and runs harmlessly along its ap pointed course, but, from the deluging showers that have recently fallen, it had acquired all the fury of a mountain torrent. Overflowing its natural boundaries, it laid a considerable portion of the line under water, bursting a ' strong iron culvert which passes under the embankment at Thrimby, and undermining a considerable portion of the earthwork. On the arrival of the luggage train, which leaves Carlisle shortly after ten P.M., at this spot the bridge gave way. Singularly enough the engine shot over the chasm, but the tender and come of the waggons went down with a crash. A scene of confusion ensued. A great quan tity of goods, such as girgbam, cotton, &c., got loose and floated down the stream. The storm was raging with una bated fury at the time. On the following morning the gown mail-train was delayed several hours, as above stated, in consequence of the engine plunging into the u - user on reach ing this spot. and extinguishing the fire. In fa ct every train was delayed for a time by the inundation. The mail bags were conveyed some distance on their route in a cart, and passengos transported safrly beyond the dangerous vicinity in every obtainable vehicle. Fortunately no pereon sustained the slightest injury,- and though the tende r still remains in its awkward predicament , w orkmen are busily employed in clearing the line, which will lr soon put i n t o a state o f thorough repair.— Carlisle Patriot.

THE NEW BRIDGE AT BATTERSEA. — Daripg the last few days, from % to 30 men have been busily mas o y s d in sawing timber, and preparing piles to sink in the river, preparatory to beginning operations for the erection of the proposed and long-talked of suspension bridge between Chelsea and Battersea. The bridge, which is to be con structed for carriage as well as passenger traffic, is to be commenced on the north side of the river, about 300 yards below the gardens in front of Chelsea Hospital, and is to cross the river in a direct line in front to the old Battersea Red • house, so long known to and frequented by Cockney sports men. The Red-house is to be pulled down entirely, and an elegant approach is to be made on the site of it, and the gardens attached, to the southern end of the bridge. On the north, the bridge is to be approached by a road to be con structed, running in a direct line from the now notorious Chapel of St. Barnabas. Six or seven of the piles have been put down, and a pile-driver, resting on a barge, is in active work, forcing down others. These piles are intended to pro tect the piers on either side, while in the course of erection, from the velocity of the tide, and from the collisions of the barges, steamers, and other craft navigating the Thames. Battersea-fields are still in their former ungainly state ; not a spade has as yet been put in the ground to make the new park, and the only appearance of alteration which can be seen is, that of a new bank in course of being raised by the Water Works Company. It is to be hoped that. the Com missioners will be enabled to commence the making of the park without delay, for until it is finished the Wide, when lerected, will be of little advantage. of PO! of Bee' eef sil J rise thl RTY. ven bout .At by iE.. ice, out Paid.
