Tina •--7AAV LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1851 We had last week the gratification to announce exclusively that his Grace the Duke of NORFOLK had renounced the errors of Popery ; this announcement is amply confirmed by the following paragraph, which appears in the Times of this morning ARUNDEL' CASTLE, SEPT. 2.-0 o Sunday morning his Grace the Duke of Norfolk, E.M., attended Divine service at Arundel Church, when an excellent dis course was delivered by the Rev. G. H. Hart, chaplain in ordinary to the Queen. The Duchess, Lady Adeliza Howard, with Lord and Lady Ellesmere, &c., were also of the party." If we are rightly informed, the example of the Duke of NORFOLK will, ere long, be followed by the great bulk of the educated Roman Catholics of the United Kingdom, who are thoroughly disgusted with the absurd and outrageous pretensions to exercise absolute authority over them, even to the ex tent of coercing their votes in Parliament, which have been recently put forth by the ambitious ultramontane hierarchy, and which are sought to be enforced by the peasant priests, who have in too many instances, been forced upon them as "spiritual directors," with all the offensive and vulgar arrogance which has been of late years the characteristic of their order. The days of the gentlemanly priest have passed away ; the highly educated, well-bred man, who never forgot the gentleman in the priest, and who exercised his duties as spiritual director all the more effectively because he avoided any ap pearance of bullying arrogance and vulgarity, has been compelled to give way to the noisy, blustering, talebearing, spying, bullying, ill educated, and worse bred peasant priest, who seeks to reduce every one to a state of abject slavery, and who scoffs at learning and abhors good manners. The educated portion of the Roman Catholics of England have long since been disgusted at the conduct of these men, and their disgust has been intensified by the publication of the bull no minating the recent intruding hierarchy, and by the arrogant tone of the far-famed Flaminian-gate epistle of Cardinal WISEMAN. The publication of that bull reduced them to the necessity of renouncing their alle giance to their QUEEN, as was admirably demonstrated by Lord BEAUMONT, or of rejecting the bull itself; and we rejoice to say that the effect of the publication of that bull has been quite the contrary to that which its authors hoped or expected. Few, very few, of the educated Roman Catholics are inclined to follow the example of the Earl of ARUNDEL and SUR REY, and to grovel in the dirt at the feet of a proud priest, even although by so doing he may secure his return as priests' delegate for an Irish borough, few, very few, among the educated Roman Catholics are ambitious of such a distinction or degradation, and the bull published to pander to the outrageous bigotry of the Puseyite converts has had the effect of so disgusting the quiet and orderly, and well disposed and respectable and respected mem bers of the Roman Catholic communion, that the day is not far distant when they will repudiate in the face of the world, as they have long isince repudiated in private, those horrible and detestable tenets which have been recently put forward so prominently by the Univers and its English supporters among the hierarchy, as the main points of the Roman Catholic faith. We expect that ere many months have elapsed the conversions from Roman Catholicism will exceed, even in point of numbers, those to Roman Catholicism, of which Cardinal Wiseeraer has recently made such boast; whilst i❑ point of learning, weight, and dignity, of every quality that adorns and dignifies men, the con verts from Romanism will be found to be infinitely superior. Of whom, in point of fact, do the re cent perverts to Romanism consist ? First, of a number of ambitious men, greedy after power, and who having been ordained ministers in the Church of England, and having failed to reduce their flocks to absolute, implicit, and unreasoning obedience to their commands, join the priesthood of a Church which panders to their lust for power, by promising to secure to them that, tyrannical authority over their flocks which they so ardently desiderate. Had the Puseyite perverts been refused ordination, not one of them would have joined the Romish Church. Setting these ambitious priests aside, the remainder of the boasted conversions consists of ladies of six or seven seasons' standing, who stand in need of excite ment ; and who, when blasee with Roman Catholicism, will probably take to Mormonism, of lisping white waistcoated dandies, who] go to mass because they " think it is fashionable," of a few sentimental young ladies, who think it advisable to speculate on the sus ceptibility of the white waistcoat wearers, and of some half-dozen lawyers anxious for business, " who nose from afar" the advent of rich Chancery suits in con nexion with the Roman Catholic charitable trusts. The number and influence of these perverts have been, as Cardinal WIsEMAN has discovered by this time, marvellously overated, and the ultimate effect of his injudicious proceeding of last year will be to dimi nish very considerably the number of the professing members of his Church in England. There is an old story that tells of a farmer who on his death-bed informed his anxious sons that there was a large treasure concealed in his fields. His chil dren in vain implored him to give a more precise di rection to the spot where they should find the golden deposit. No closer indication could be obtained from the dying man, and his life ebbed away while mat ters still remained in uncertainty. The fields were all dug up after his death, but the treasure could not be discovered. The search was at last abandoned in despair, when the gold-seek. ers found that wealth flowed in from an un expected quarter—that there was indeed a treasure concealed in the fields, albeit of a different description from that which they had anticipated. The turning up of the soil had stimulated its fertility to the utmost degree ; the produce was more than quadrupled, and the happy husbandmen found their granaries loaded with cereal wealth, as if a cornucopia had been shed over their lands. The moral is one of universal app l ication , although, perhaps, it has never been more appropriately illus trated than at the present time. It tells that in seeking wealth in one way we may haply fall upon it in another and totally different direction. At this moment we have the most extraordinary accounts from Australia of the quantity of gold embedded in the soil in the neighbourhood of Bathurst. It is said, in fact, that the entire soil from the mountain ranges to an indefinite extent in the interior is an immense gold field, rivalling the richest " diggins" of California as to the quantity of the precious metal that may be obtained by even the simplest and coarsest instruments. Persons of all classes were hurrying to the spot to take advantage of the discovery, and it is said that their most sanguine anticipations were more than realised. One young gentleman had brought home a lump of pure gold, weighing no less than eleven ounces, while an old man had been even more fortu nate, having arrived with several pieces, weighing in the whole from two to three pounds. Under such circumstances it appears more than probable that many strangers will flock to the spot, for gold is a bait that has never failed to attract the human race, even from the most ancient times, when the Lysian monarch suffered the penalties of his reckless cupidity, to the present time. The auri sacra fames still exists without abatement or dimi nution, and we may, without claiming any extra ordinary powers of vaticination, venture to predict that it will prevail, until the bullionist theories be displaced by a wiser and more philosophical system.. But, happily, in Australia the gold-seekers will avoid the sufferings and viccissitudes that have awaited their brethren in all preceding ages and climes. The districts in which the coveted prize had been discovered on all previous occasions were barren and unproductive. It would, appear as if PLUTUS had suffered no meaner rival near his throne, that CERES especially had been banished to a considerable distance. The sterility of the soil, the inclemency of the climate, the barbarity of the neighbouring population, acted as the most serious impediments to extensive ope rations. In these respects California was incomparably superior to any of the mining localities that had pre viously been resorted to ; but even there the draw backs and disadvantages were of the most formidable character. The necessaries, to say nothing of the ordinary comforts of life, could not be obtained except at the most exorbitant prices; and the gold seeker literally " set his life on the cast," for if he failed in the pursuit ho could not obtain the means of supporting existence, unless by , totally abandoning his self-respect, and con senting to discharge the most degrading and ser vile offices; and even if his success exceeded his most sanguine anticipations, he should still submit to pri vations of no ordinary character, or sacrifice by far the larger portion of his gains for the most common luxuries or even comforts. We have all heard of a dollar a glass being readily, nay eagerly, given for brandy, and the quotations of other articles being even still more surprising, we have felt astonishment at the magnitude of the profits that al lowed the labourers to participate in such expensive, we might say extravagant indulgences. But the very facts showed that there was a darker side of the picture, and we might indeed shudder at the melan choly fate of the unsuccessful digger, who had se lected an unfavourable spot for his operations, or who, in the spirit of enterprise, had pushed far beyond his fellows, and too late discovered that in the wil derness all his gold could not procure him a morsel of bread or a single drop of water. But all these matters will be different in Aus tralia. There the miners will go to a land abounding in all the necessaries of life, where they may ob tain anything to satisfy the desires of reasonable men in the utmost profusion, and at the most moderate charges. Even if the intelligence that has been re ceived from the mining localities were altogether fa bulous, none would have cause to complain at being induced to seek the modern "Land of Promise," where every man able and willing to work would be sure of obtaining remunerative employment, enabling him to enjoy an abundance that does not fall to the lot of persons moving in a far superior station in the mother country. There may be the chance of a prize, but there is no possibility of a blank. Should the washing or mining prove abortive, there is yet something to fall back upon ; and like the sons of the farmer, alluded to in the com mencement of this article, wealth will flow into the speculators, although in another mode from that which they had looked forward to. If, then, the stories are well founded—if Australia is indeed a rival to California, it is certain that its capabilities will be developed to the uttermost; while, even should it prove a failure in that respect, and prove no better than the " Lageuian Mines," celebrated by Mooia, the influx of searchers who must seek other sources of employment will prove of incalculable advantage to the colony, the mother country, and to the parties themselves. AMERICAN NEWS. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. 2 SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY MORNING. The United States mail steam-ship Humboldt, Captain Lines, with dates from New York to the 23i ult., arrived off Cowes at nine o'clock this morning, and after landing her mails proceeded to Havre. The Humboldt brings 40 passengers, 100,000 dol lars in American gold, for London, and a full cargo for Havre. Advices from Cuba report the landing of Lopez at Matanzas, with 460 men ; his situation was cri tical. Advices from Havannah to the 17th ult. state, the Spanish war-steamer Habanero had captured four boats' load of men, and that 50 of them (Americans) had been publicly shot in the presence of 20,000 spectators. The Governor-General had sent 800 men to intercept Lopez. The America steamer Falcon, from Chagres, had been fired upon by a Spanish steamer in error. The enthusiasm in the United States in reference to Cuban affairs was tremendous. Fears were enter tained of disturbances in New Orleans, and the mili tary were held in readiness to act. At New York a great mass meeting had been held, and mobs had paraded the streets with banners bear ing thelinsoription " The blood of 50 Americans cries for Vengeance." The 50 men shot were a portion of the Lopez invaders, which had become separated from the mai❑ body. Their names are published in the New York papers. The Stock Market at New York was firm. Exchange on London 9} to 10k. Freights steady. Confidence has been renewed in the money market. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY—The United States Mail steam-ship Pacific, Captain Nye, sailed to-day fur New York with the usual mails. DON'T RUN FOR GOLD.—The latest intelligence from California seems to show that the golden age is by no means the most virtuous, for incendia: ism, robbery, and murder are every-day occurrences. As the ordinary tri bunals cannot keep pace with the extraordinary amount of crime, the inhabitants have established Lynch law; but it is a bad symptom when it is only by the use of a Lynch•-pin such as this, that the common wheel is kept in regular mo tion.—Punch. THE MOORS.—CAITHERSB..-- Complaints are still general of the great scarcity of grouse in this country. Sir George Dunbar's gamekeeper, a first-rate shot, was out all day, Monday last, on the Kilminster moors, and only killed six and a half brace, going over ground upon which Sir George, in former seasons, had repeatedly shot as many as 34 birds in the same time. The gamekeeper saw only four other birds during the day; these, though within reach, being old hens, he spared for the sake of the stock. Sir George Dunbar's Highland moors are much better stocked this season than his grounds in this parish, and the birds everywhere are all quite sound. There has been another week's good sport (says the Inverness Advertiser), even though the weather has not been very favourable. The grouse have come in well, and the expectations formed as to the condition of the birds S have been amply verified. Deer-stalking has been very successfully prosecuted in 'the neighbourhood, and the heads are generally good. On Friday a magnificent stag, weighing 24 1 4 stones, and having thirteen points, was brought down by Mr. Dempster, of Skibo. At Achnacarry Lord and Lady Malmesbury are entertaining a succession of distinguished visitors. Among the number are Lord and Lady Canning, Lord Edward Thynne, the Hon. Captain Harris, &c. Little has been done by the gentlemen in the forest, but the rivers have afforded some excellent angling.—John o' Groat Journal. A FATHER DROWNED IN RESCUING HIS DAUGHTER. —An inquest was held on Saturday last, at West Carr, near Epworth, upon the bodies of a father and daughter, named Reuben and Ann Leggott, who came to their death under extraordinary circumstances. It appeared from the evidence that there had been some disagreement on the previous Thursday between Mrs. Leggott and her daughter, and in the quarrel the father interfered, remarking, in a tone of reproach, that he did not know what was to be done with the deceased girl. The latter said hastily, that she knew what was to be done with her, and walked out of the house. In a few moments screams were heard, and on running out in the direction of the sound, the parents saw that their daughter had thrown herself into a deep pit, which had been made in the progress of some warping operations upon the neigh bouring land. The father instantly plunged in, in the hope of saving his child, but she clung to him so tightly that he was unable to extricate himself, and, the sides of the pit being nearly perpendicular, both were drowned before any assistance could be rendered. The poor mother was an agonised eye-witness of the catastrophe, which, however, she could not avert. A verdict of temporary insanity was re turned in the case of the daughter, and one of accid en t a l death in that of Mr. Leggott. The respective ages of the deceased were forty-eight and eighteen years. ACCIDENT AT A TAN MILL, NEAR SHEFFIELD.— On Wednesday morning a frightful accident occurred at the Neepsend tan-yard, to a workman named Thomas Malone. It appears that Malone was feeding a bark-mill, when his shirt sleeve became entangled in the cutters, and before he could extricate it his left hand and arm were drawn in also. His screams brought his fellow-workmen to the spot, when they found him stretched across the mill-top, quite insen sible. Having stopped the machinery and extricated the poor fellow, a most pitiable sight presented itself. His left hand aad arm were crushed by the cutter in a most fearful manner, and hung together in shreds; not a bone escaped, but all within a few inches of the shoulder was literally smashed to pieces. Had the aperture at top been sufficiently large, the body of the unfortunate man would have shared the same fate. Malone stated that he made an endeavour to extricate himself, but was unable to do so in consequence of the strength of the material of which his shirt was made. Both his shirt and waistcoat were torn to pieces by the ma chinery. Malone was taken immediately to the Infirmary, where the arm was amputated at - the shoulder.—Sfietfield Independent. HURSDAY EVENING, _SEPTEMBER 4, 1851 THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We hate received the Paris journals of yesterday. M. CREMIEUX has addressed to the Presse a letter, dated " Toret de Saon, August 29," concerning his steward, M. LARGER, lately arrested under the charge of seducing from their duty some soldiers of the garrison of Lyons. The following is an extract ; " I became acquainted with Larger in this way : After having been acquitted at the trial at Bourges, he was a member of the conclave who decided on the no• mination cf my friend Eugene Sue. He soon after fell ill, and a sleeting took place at my house to see what could be dm for him. A collection was made there to raise sufficient money to pay his rent. He was at the tine in an hospital, in consequence of wounds received in Africa, and his wife was on the point cf being; confined. I gave orders that she should want for nothing. Larger afterwards came to me in great affliction and irritation. I cannot,' he said, accept what you have done for my wife and child. A collection is for me a humiliation. I will work to the bone to pay what has been advanced.' This indignation touched me. It was on that occaqon that M. de Girardin, being refused in his cffers of service by this worthy man, wrote him a letter, which has been seized. Soon after I purchased the forest of Saon in the Drome. I wanted a sum man to put over the property. I offered Larger the pace of steward, which he accepted, and for more than a year he has been living in my house. He was summoned as a witness to the Lyons plot. After his testimony, he asked in vain for leave to depart; he was at last arrested. I learned his arrest on my arrival in Lyons, and I went the neat day to the Procureur of the Republic. Tho following is part of our conversation:—' Larger is arrested?'—' Yes, for a politi cal offence.'—' Committed since he has been living in my house?'--' No.'—'ls the charge a grave one?'— ' Yes, it appears a very grave one. Larger was one of the most ultra-demagogues in Paris. After the law of May 31, he has gravely compromised himself:— But he has been for a year living upwards of one hundred and fifty leagues from Paris. Supposing that ho had enter ed" ed to any plot, he has evidently with drawn from it Il ls year. It is surely late to ask him to account for hi c)/ onduct at present.' All I can say is that the matter is a grave one.'—' Is he in secret con finement?'—' Yes, and will be, I think, for several days. As to me, I shall only have the commencement of the matter, which will terminate elsewhere.' Such was our conversation, and nothing was said to indicate to me that Larger had made any attempts of the kind at tributed to him at Lyons. When his lodging was searched his cap was seized, and it happened to be a red one. Also, the first number of Tissot's History of the Revo lution,' but this ltper has been since sent back to Mme. Larger. What ,ley like they keep, and what they do not want they se ) ,Id away—it is admirable! However, all that may be, hero is my steward in prison, his wife ill, and his child of fourteen months without support. If a great demagogical plot is on the tapis, his affair will be long! But I pray you to re-assure my friends, by in forming them that I have nothing to do with the crime alluded to; that I have not seduced any soldier of the garrison of Lyons; and that Larger himself appears to me not to be prosecuted for that offence. But lot us wait until the reign of the Moderates shall come to au end!" A letter from Paris, in :the lndependanee of Brus sels, says :—" Conferences of a certain importance have just taken place at the chateau of Champlatreux between Count MOLE, M. GUIZOT, who arrived from Claremont, M. DE NOAILLES, recently returned from Frohsdorff, M. DE VALMY, M. DE MONTEBELLO, and M. BERILYER. A plan of campaign, consisting in advancing the general elections, was resolved on. It was, moreover, decided that the revolutionist league of 476 should be continued, and that that majority should take, without regard to any dissension, all the measures which the crisis of 1852 may render necessary. The Assemblie Nationale, the organ of M. GUIZOT, has a long article on the candidateship of the Prince DE JOINVILLE, which concludes as follows If the Prince do Joinville should succeed in persuad ing himself that he can usefully and properly become a candidate for the Presidency of the Republic of 1848 (which seems to us impossible) be should be the more anxious to make known the determination the more it is considered improbable. Until then, and in pre sence of the rumours which are spread on this can didateship, we only feel ono duty and one right, that of doubting, and nut believing. Nothing is then changed in our situation: like Sieyes, we may say that we are to-day what we were yesterday, and that we shall continue to preach monarchical con ciliation with that lively and ardent faith which becomes animated by obstacles instead of being astonished at them. But if, under vain pretexts, the respected name cf the Prince de Joinville were to be cast into the revolutionary conflict which is about to take place fur the elections of 1852, we should not hesitate to combat with all our force a candidateship which would be a serious injury to the monarchical principle, and would throw us into an ocean of difficulties an dangers. The Princes of the Orleans family owe their blood to France, and will always be ready to shed it for her. But France will never ask from them—and they do not owe to her—the sacrifice of their personal dignity and of the future of their house." It was stated yesterday in the diplomatic cireles that Id. GUIZOT, and the other distinguished Or leanists who have endeavoured to induce the Prince DF JOINVILLE to disavow the proceedings of the persons who hare proposed his candidsteship for the Presidency of the Republic, have failed in their efforts, and that they have reason to believe that the Prince is sanctioned in his refusal to make this dis avowal by the whole of the ex.royal family, mid particularly by her Royal Highness the Duchess of ORLEANS. Forty-seven persons were arrested yesterday in Paris, charged with political offences.

" Excellent Sir,—l have the satisfaction to acquaint your Excellency, that at the public meeting which the Spanish bondholders held in London on the 19th inst., the conditions of the law for the settlement of the debt, lately voted by the Cortes, and sanctioned by her Majesty, have been accepted, though the creditors always indulge in the hope that, the state of the Spanish finance improving, the nation will accord spontaneously the justice due to her creditors, particularly in the part relating to the over-due coupons on which the law has imposed the bard acceptance of giving up the half of their nominal value, so as in a more favourable epoch to indemnify the bondholders, whe now submit to the law. As your Excellency is aware, by the resolutions adopted in the said meeting, the bondholders have consented to reimburse the committee for the outlay incurred in their general interest, in con sequence of which I request that your Excellency will be pleased to give instructions to the Presi4tnt of the Finance Commission in London, so that he may agree with the committee respecting the most adequate man ner of carrying out that resolution. Your Excellency has already assured me verbally of agreeing to continue paying in London and Paris the dividends of the new debt, which is to be issued in exchange for the old bonds, which had the right of having their interests paid abroad; and it only remains for me to express my intimate conviction and my firm assurance, that by the medium of the exact and punc tual payment of these reduced interests, your Excellency, and succeeding Governments will endeavour to elevate the credit of your country to the height from which it would never have descended without the forget fulness of that which every honourable country owes its creditors, and more especially to creditors who have just given a new proof of their moderation and of their desire to second the credit and future prosperity of this noble nation, which contains so many sources of wealth, which cannot fail to unfold themselves more and more under the rule of the august Queen who occupies the throne of Castile. " The day I have the happiness to see the credit of Spain at the height of other nations less powerful, will be for me the reward of the efforts, both zealous and conciliatory, which I have made on behalf of the interests entrusted to my care. " God preserve your Excellency many years. " Madrid Aug. 27, 1851. " The Delegate of the English Committee of Spanish Bondholders. (Signed) " DANIEL WEISWEILLER.

THE ADVERTISEMENT DUTY.—We have received the following official notice from the Stamp-office :—" It having been the practice of some of the publishers of news papers of inserting a list of ' Arrivals at Hotels,' I am di rected to inform you that the advertisement duty attaches to such announcement in respect to each hotel, and that any such list, with the hotel named, will be charged if it appear after this notice." We have occasionally given such notiees, as matters of news, which it has cost us something to obtain, and we have no doubt our readers felt interest in perusing the movements of important personages which we recorded. We do hope that this new regulation will be carried out strictly and: impartially, that our metropolitan contempora ries will be forbidden to mention the name of the hotel where her Majesty may happen to stop on her journeys, as at Doncaster last week. Let the announcement of " distin guished foreigners" at Mivart's Hotel be prohibited, under like penalty. Let the names of all the principal guests who attend public dinners or public meetings at inns, be charged as advertisements, if the name of the inn be mentioned.—. Maidstone Gazette.
