Our old friends the Sabbatarians are at it again apparently. Nothing seems to allay their diseased appetite for exercising authority over the morals of the popnlation. That is to say, if the morals of the po pulation mesa the knock of the postman or the ring of till milkwoman, the cry of the Seller of fruit or of the vendor of mackerel, the brushing of boots or the washing of linen. Another intolerable illustration has just been afforded of the spirit in which these . modern Pharisees regard the observance of the Sun day. What we would here render the object of ge neral attention is an incident recently recounted in the columns of one or two of our provincial contemporaries under the attractive title of " Sabbath Profanation." A brief and rapid statement will be amply sufficient to silos the sinful character of the proceedings thus entitled, proceedings no less awful and criminal than the cashing of a shirt on a certain Sunday morning ! It appears from . the statements made in the local newspapers that one JOHN WICAUGHT, master of the schooner Parvenu, of Stralsund, " did permit ADOLPHE GRA.IIAM, a hand on board his vessel, in profanation of the Sabbath, and in breach of the regulations, to wash clothes therein to the annoyance of the lieges." Whereupon the said JOHN WRAP/GUT WENldUly summoned, according to the authority of the 81st Article of the River and Harbour Regulations at Glasgow, in the River Police court, before the Worshipful Bailie PEAIV:ON. Con victed of the before-mentioned heinous offence, the culprit was formally mulcted in the sum of seven shillings and sixpence, the worshipful and sanctimo nious magistrate being resolved to avail himself of the opportunity for the purpose of preventing, if possible, any similar profanation of the so called Sabbath. Now, we are bold to say that acts such as these are not only derogatory to the cause of religion, but injurious to the influence of the laws of England. Indignant at the treatment re ceived under those laws, the master of the vessel above particularised, himself a subject of King LEOPOLD, threatened to appeal for redress and protec tion to the Belgian Consul ; and, although ultimately induced to pay the fine impcsed upon him by Reline PEARSON, it is related of this Joux Wit:morn that he . most sturdily insisted upon his right to wash clothes, or to have clothes washed, when he thought proper, even in the presence of Queen Vic- TORIA, if he felt so inclined. There is not we are sa tisfied in the length and breadth of the United .... Kingdoms a sensible and unprejudiced Englishman who will not sympathise most cordially in that spirit i, t or independence and indignation with which the Bel- I;4aak•sa-captain prot es t e d aga i ns t t h e unconscionable .../..--etrin tion of the SAbbatarims.

He is a writer of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religion, fin 4 by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage i which he empresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which clja racterise nature's nobility.

Talk of sanitary im provements, forsooth, with such ideas as those preva lent among certain classes of the population ! The notion of any such sweeping Schemes in the way of puri fication must surely after this appear little less than alto gather prepo s t erous . Hi t h er t o, i n d ee d, t h e say i ng h as I ( been from time immemorial that" Cleanliness is next to Godline,ss." In the creed of our Scottish Sabat tarians, however, it would seem that Dirt and Divi nity are identical. Whatever can lay claim nowa days to the privilege of being particularly filthy would appear to be especially worthy of veneration among this unclean section of religionists. To speak to them of " whitened sepulchres" would be to pervert their ideas of morality, and virtually to talk above their comprehension. According to their estimate of the phrase it would mean that religion necessitated habits of physical impurity, insomuch that the polishing of a shoe, the shaving of a beard, the rinsing of a scrap of linen in the wash tub, would be acts not very farremoaed from being ab solutely Satanic. Than this we cannot conceive any more degrading or erroneous notion of religion. Certainly we can imagine none more peculiarly des picable and repulsive. It transforms what is in its nature divine into something smelling intensely of the earth, earthy. It degrades the dogmas of Christianity into the ordinances of filth, into the commandments not of priestliness but of beastli ness. Acting upon such impressions the community would very speedily degenerate into a state of peri odical and disgusting stagnation. The Sundays would become the moral cloacae of society, plunging it at intervals into a condition toe foul to admit even of conjecture. If carried into effect, the offence of the multitude would very speedily be like that of the King of DENMARK—" rank, and smell to heaven ! " It is against this evil consequence of Sabbaterianism that we would battle as strenuously as against its most pernicious moral tendency. Our oppot-ition to it is attributable, not merely to our religious convic tions of the wholesomeness of Christianity, but also, and in a particular manner, to our conscientious opinions as the advocates of Sanitary Improvement. " Tbsre is at present eo probability of success for . any sedition egaiost you, but neither is there any probability of success for ,any sedition in your favour." Such were the words addressed by M. Durre, the Orleanist President of the French National Assembly, to LnIII3 NAPOL, - .WT BONAPARTr, the President of the French Republic, and ;Is it hrs been - shrewdly cori!eturcd that Lours NAPOLEON • BomAr.tr.TE would have .no objection to be " something more " than President of the French Republic, aid as it is certainly known that M. DUPIN would do and has done everything that he could do with safety to destroy the Republic, and to restore the' o.leens dyncsty to the throne, we tske these Ivor d 3 of M. Durier to be the valuable testimony of an unwilling witness to the stability and permanence of Republican in stitutions in France. In February, 1848, we were told by the reactionary journals, and by the reactionary Peers, that the Republic was a surprise, that it could not. last, because it could not preserve order, and that the then Msderate - Republic would be de stroyed by the anarchists, to put down whom the nation would hail the restoration of Absolute Monarchy. Toe month of Jane, 1848, I),:lied that prophecy ; the Moderate Republic was found strong enough to put down by force the attempts of the most unnatural coalition ever formed— the coalition between the Communists and the Mo. narchists, for the most mischievous purpose, that of the disorganization of society, and . the true Repub!ic was consolidated by the means by which its enemies sought its destruction. The Constitution was formed, proclaimed, and accepted, and under the Constitution the first President was elected. As a homage of gratitude to - NAPOLEON his nephew was elected first President of the French Republic e and from that moment .the intrigues of the reactionary party began for the restoration of monarchy in France. Every engine that could be employed was set to work to destroy the Republic ; offices of trust and profit were bestowed exclusively on those .who were known to be Monarchists ; to be a Republican was the only bar to office under the Re public ; all official influences were shamelessly used to inflict " a heavy blow and great discouragement" on Republicans and on Republican institutions; the priests almost to 'a man were leagued together for the destruction of the institutions which protected them, and whioh assured to them that liberty for which for twenty - years they bad clamoured, end which . only prevented them from persecuting others; every means that could be devised ware employed to corrupt the army, a con. sidereble section of • which was sent to Renee to be indoctrinated in the principle of hatred to Repub lican institutions ; the foreign correspondents of our English reactionary • journals, acting as the mouth-pieces of the police and of the re actionary conspirators of the Continent, were repeat ing, usque afl nauseam, that the Republic was repu-: dieted by the great majority of the French people, and must inevitably fall ; and yet, nothwithstanding all the false dealings of treacherous friends, note:it:l:- standing all the machinations and plottings of secret enernits, notwithstanding "all the prayers and the prophecies" of the CARLIEM dictated correspondence of •the reactionary journals—in spite of the efforts of the S xiety of the 10th of December- 7 in • spite of the manifestces of Wiesbaden, and the intrigues cif St. Leonard's and Richmond, we find that the results of the PILESL DENT'S -joeirney through the French Departments, and of the experience of M. Dorm of the feelings ex pressed in the Councils •General, has been to wring from the latter a reluctant confession that no sedition against the Republic has the remotest chance of auc cess. We 'have alWays maintained this opinion, and from February; 1848, up to the present pe Hod . have never hesitated to declare that we felt no apprehensions us regards the stability of the Republican institutions of - Preece, because in the present social and political condition of that country a Republic is the only possible form of go vernment which has any chance of stability, and we aro rejoiced to find that our opinion is supported by that a f so accomplished a statesman as M. DUPIN. In the meantime it 'Would be well that the "fo reign correspondents" of English reactionary journals should, for their own reputation's sake, be somewhat more " chary" of their prophecies of the immediate destruction of the Republic. C est un rnechant metier que celui de prophetiser, as they may find one day to their cost. JENNY LIND IN AMERICA.—A private letter from New York, speaking of the Jenny Lind furor, says--" The Lind, you will see, has arrived safely.

A silver bugle was given to the competitor who was the first in the greatest number of games, 10 be held until the nest athletic games, when it will be again contested for in the same manner. It 'was on this•occasion delivered to Mr. Temple, who was victorious in no less than six of the genies. The fifes and drums of the Royal Artillery band were on the ground during the afternoon, and played between the races. On the conclusion of the sports, the prizes were delivered to the successful competitors in the Hall ; after which the full band of the Royal Artillery played concerted pieces for the remainder of the evening. . - GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—The excursion train from Oxford and Banbury yesterday brought 1,000 persons up to Paddington.

The number of Irish reapers who hive entered Scotland, via the Clyde, this year is esthnated at more than 2,000. LA - A- 6 FRENCH REPUBLrU We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Gazette de France, the organ of one portion of the Legitimatist party, after maintaining for two days a total silence on the subject of the circular of Wiesbaden, in the vain hope that it would be dis avowed, now speaks of it as follows : " We have no desire either to deny or to attenuate the importance of this incident, and although our respect for the authority thus prominently brought forward obliges us to abstain from giving utterance to the feel ings to which the perusal of this document gives rise, we do not hesitate to say that the issuing of this cir cular is in every respect a deplorable event, and that the publication of the names of this official committee is an Immense fault in whatever legitimatist point of view it may be regarded." The Bonapartist journals at once pick up the gauntlet thrown down by the Count DE CHAM BORD, and the Pouvoir is furious against him. The Legitimatists, it appears, are as averse to a fusion with the Orleanists as they are to an appeal to the people ; they demand alike from Republicans, Bonapartists, and Orleanists, implicit and unreserved obedience to the behests of the Count DE CHAMBORD, by " right divine" absolute master of all France and of all Frenchmen. The Union, the organ of M. BEERIER, thus speaks of the House of Orleans : "It remains to say in what light the Legitimaft4ts re gard the particular position in which accomplished events have placed the House el Orleans end the Con servative party. It will be ecin by this appreciation, which is exclusively political, that the Legitimatists, not feeling themselves embarrassed by any personal preoc cupation, have been carried with grea t lib erty o f act i on, and with high independence to steps, and to advances, when their own interest was absolutely out of the ques tion. For the last two pars, on every occasion, and mere particularly in a recent publication from which we have just given an extract, we have censtantly spoken of the Princes of the House of Orleans and of their honourable friends in such terms that we think our selves now dispensed from having recourse to oratorical precautions to testify our loyal and sincere intention to remain, with regard to these same persons, within the bounds of the most perfect propriety. We shall, there fore, go direct to the idea which we wish to express; w: zhAll frankly say that the Lcgitimstists having to render an account to themselves of their situation, and to regu late their conduct, have re7n• thought that they had to concern themselves with an Orleanist competition. They have seen serious ditlimlties before Clem, but none in that quarter." Asp if this were not sufficiently Contemptuous of the Orleanist pretensions, the article conolados in these words : " In a word, the compaition of the House of Or , lemurs may exist,, but the kogitiinuists do not ste it Tilat is the excct truth."- • What thinks M.

The Austrian Government has sent dispatches to the King of HANOVER, urging him to interfere to ail the Elector of HESSE in destroying the constitu tion, and making himself absolute, and promising to King ERNEST material and moral assistance. Tate Austrian Cabinet has also ordered the General com manding in the Vorarlberg to march troops into Wirtemberg, should he deem it expedient. The New Hesse Gazette states that the flight of the- ELECTOR was oceationed by the false representation cf HASSENPFLUG that General BAUER, indignant at the manner in which he had been received by that Minister, had repaired to the palace of the ELEC TOR, and energetically represented to him the conduct of his Ministers. M. HASSENPFLUG, dreading that the ELECTOR would yield to the repre sentations that were made to him on all hands, pre sented himself before his Serene Highness in the evening in simulated alarm, pretended that an eineute had broken out in the barracks, that the life of the SOVEREIGN was in danger, and that no resource was left but flight. By this base stratagem the Minister succeeded in inducing the ELECTOR to set out sad fierily in the middle of the night, attended by his Cabinet. Lord COWLEY, the English Ambassador at Frank fort, visited the Elector of HEssE at Whilhelinsbad on the :191). On his return he was stopped by a crowd, who, mistaking him for one of the German Princes, threatened to drag him from his carriage, but on his ex2laining that ho was the British Minister they cheered him and allowed him to proceed. The President of the Chamber of Deputies of Meeklenburgh-Schwerin has summoned the Deputies .to meet in Schwerin on the 24th. He considers the sentence of the Arbitrel Tribunal of the 12th as of no Effect. Such is also the opinion of the Left, who in tend to protest in favour of the constitution. The Right will also meet on the 22d, in order to deliberate upon what course they shall take under the present circum stance:. It is thought they will join with the Left in their protest. Many of the municipal councils will also protest. The irritation caused in the country by the arbitral sentence is so great that all party spirit has disappeared in favour of the maintenance of the constitution. The following is the reply of the Prussian Minister to the address requesting an immediate convocation of the Prussian Chambers : "Berlin, Sept. 14. - " The representation of your high and well-born, of the 20th inst., wherein you propose that ne Prussian Chambers shall be convoked as quickly as possible, has been referred to me by the Ministry, for the purpose of reply. In collet gut nee thereof I have the honour to make known to you the following. " The question cf when his Majesty should be advised to cor.volic the Chamber:, and what period shall be se lected for their meeting within the constitutional term, has, without the intervention of the gentlemen proposers, been the subjt - ct of conscientious deliberation on the part f the Cabinet. Upon this occasion the internal condi tion and external relations of the State have been taken into consideration, and not a single fact produced in the representation of the 20th that has not been weighed and considered during those deliberations. "As it is a question of resolutions relative to the evident and conscientious duties r f the Ministry, who is responsible for all its acts and &cis' atione, nothing is apparent in the aforesaid representation which any way tends to induce the Government to change its views. There will be no objection to my openly exposing these views at an appropriate period, azd I shall there'ore ab stain from entering further into the contents of the communication of the 20th. " It is self-evident that the Ministry will be prepared at the proper time to Isy the whole of its proceedings before the Chambers. "MANTEUFEL, Minister of the Interior." DENMARK.

On the Bth, the fete of the birth of the Virgin, the POPE went in procession to grand mass at Santa Maria del Popnlo. lie was received by the people in the most chilling Manner ; not a sound was uttered —not a voice asked for benediction. The POPE was deeply affected by this reception, which contrasted so unfavourably with hi s reception in 1846. Instead of the flattering inscriptions which formerly, in similar circumstances, were exposed in the streets through which his Ifoxxxxss used to pass in going to the church of Santa Maria del Popolo . , the follo w i ng writing was posted near that church and in other parts of the city : Morte a " Pio IX.

Ernest Reinhold, of whom, from his former compositions, we expected great things, and - who does not seem likely to disappoint Our expectations, 113 s become thoroughly imbued with the spirit of P r ofessor Longfellow's exquisite poem, which he has rendered into music worthy of the sub ject. Tnis is, without exaggeration, " music married to immortal verse.," end as such is destined to an en during fsme. " The Voices of the Night" will not be cast aside with the great mass of nonsense verses set to so-so music whiih • encumber the music-stand of the drawing-room, but will ba carefully treasured as one of those ehoice compositions which will be re curred to again and egain with delight. - LORD COCKBUILIC.—This Learned Judge has not been able to take his vat at the Dumfries Circuit this week, the duties of which have devolved on Lord Moncreiff.

DENT.- Oa the banks of the Wabash the effects of a poor widow, who had been left comparatively destitute at the death of her husband, had been seized by a sheriff for debt, and were being cold by auction—and among these effects an old family Bible was put up for sale. She begged the con stable to spare this memento of her dear and honoured parents, but he was inexorable. The good book was about going for a few shillings, when the widow suddenly snatched it, and declaring she wohlethave some relic of thosa she loved, cat the thread that helet the brown linen cover, with the in tent of retaining it. The cover fell into her hands, and with it two flat pieces of thin dirty paper. Surprised at the cir cumstance, she examined them, and what was her joy end delight to find, that they each called for five hundred pounds on tile Bank of England. On the back o f one, in her mother's handwriting, were the followin g words:--" When sorrow overtakes you, seek your Bible." And on the other, in her father's hand :—"Your father's ears are never deaf." The sale was immediately stopped, and the family Bible given to the faithful owner.—Ma Advertiser. D BATH FROM CIIOKING.----Yest er . ay Mr. Carter held an inquest at the 4arlborough Arms Public-house, Camberwell; on the body of William Barton, aged 67, who died under the following circumstan ces :—The deceased was an inmate of Camberwell workhouse, and, on Thursday last, whilst in the infirm ward, the nurse brought in a quantity of boiled beef and potatoes to supply twelve men. The de ceased went to the table, and while the nurse was at the other end of the ward, he took up a piece of meat and en deavoured to swallow it, but became black in the face, and fell down insensible. Air. - King, the house-surgeon, was called in, and made every effort to dislodge the meat, which had become firmly fixed in the windpipe. The deceived died in about five minutes, and when the medical gentleman removed the piece of meat he found it to be three inches in length, and one and a half wide. The jury returned a ver dict of "Accidental death." • NATURAL AFFECTION or A DOG.—The Mona' 8 Herald states that a Mr. Cain, of Castletow n , t oo k t h ree pups from a litt er o f seven, produced by a canine favourite, drowried them, and buried them in a hole. Next morning the mother had all the seven pups in her bed alive and sucking, she having scratched up her offspring and warmed them into life. We have heard it remarked by a gentleman well informed on the subject, that it is feared our manufacturers are too exclusively devoting themselves to the production of the finest qualities of fabrics, and neglecting the lower and middle qualities, which are really of greater importance as articles of commerce, and in which prizes might be gained as well as in the highest qualities. We believe it would be pe culiarly desirable for our Yorkshire manufacturers to strive after excellence in the medium qualities, as it is in those that they possess the greatest. advantages.—Leeds ltrecury. INFLUX OF SH lPFlNG.—Yesterday an immense fleet of merchantmen, upwards of 150 in number, arrived off Gravesend.

At the different wharfs, docks, and river quays, the greatest ac tivity is observable.

THE BRIDGE ON TIII3 RHINE AT COLOGNE. --It appears from an official document published V Mr. Van der lleidt, the Minister of Trade and Public NV orks, that the committee appointed to examine the merits of the various Plans for a bridge over the Rhine, between the cities of Co logne and Deutz, have awarded the first priza of 71 c 0 frederics d'or to Mr. John W.

CRUELTY TO A::I3IALS —Among the Acts passed on the 14th ult. was cue for the more effectual prevention of cruelty to animals in Scotland. It is similar to the one passed last year fcr England. It should be known that in Great Britain persons who offend against either Act can be apprehended without a warrant and taken before a magis trate. WHALES IN THE CLYDE.—As a party were cruis ing about between Wemys s Bay and Enellen, on Wednesday last, they obaerved three whales very near them.

" The events which have taken place at Turin, after the death cf the Chevalier Pietro de Rossi de Santa Rosa, Minister of Commerce of his Sardinian Majesty, are a fresh cause of bitter grief to the Church, mid to its august head. The violation committed against the ecclesiastical immunity, by the series of facts which called forth the former protests of his Holineas, and to which hitherto no attention. his been paid, has been ag gravated in the capital of the Sardinian States, where the lay power has not feared to mix itself up in questions solely relating to the administration of the sacraments. The ec clesiastical authority having thought fit not to accord to the said minister the sacrament of the Eucharist, unless he first rectified by a proper act the position in which he had placed himself with respect to the Church, in taking part in the promulgation of anti-canonical laws, this act was alleged against the sacred ministers, and, in consequence, they were acted against without any at tention being paid to their meted cheraeter. Hence was seen a series of revere measures against the priesthood, the violent expulsion of the cu:4 of St. Charlis, and of all the religious family to which it belon&s, the arrest of the Archbishop of Turin and his confinement in the fortress of Fenestrelle, without speaking of the to d emonstrate perqui sitions made a short time after i n th e prelate ' s residence. e T I C lie ol eenumeration ofS!tali act s appears to be suffi ntwhat a grave responsibility their Authors have incurred before the Church. It is the ministers of the 'Church alone who are to decide to ahem the sacraments are to bd.administered, and in such performance of their duty they arc to be guided by no other rules than. those given theta by the higher authorities of the Church. That being the case, it is easy to see what an insult has been offered to the Church by the secular aut h or i ty arrogating ' to itself sacraments, th and erighto haw fde ingin matters whi c h concern offensiv e are the hestile mea sures adopted in contempt c f the prierly character, and especially the new act otriolerce against the sacred person of the Archbishop of Turin. At the sight of such deplorable events the affliction with which the mind of the . Holy Father is filled, on account of the dreadful Siiiiation of ecclesiastical things in a Catholic kingdom like Eardinia,• increases beyond measure. His Holiness, to satisfy the duties imposed upon him by his august character of supreme chief of the Catholic Church, has expressly enjoined the un dersigned cardinal, Secretary of Sate, to pro test formally against these deplorable acts, and to ask, in his name, the reparation which is duo to him. The Holy Father, who,..in the case of the unfortunate vi cissitudes between. the Holy See and Piedmont, feels, Satisfied that hd has given a' striking example d apostolic longanirnity, is willirgagain to hope that the Govern:meet of hie Sardinial Majesty, seeirg hew heavy aro the trials to which the Church has so long been sub jeated in those States—how insultieg are the measures taken one aft, r the other against the most illustrious perseneges of the episcopal order, to the great ecandal cf the Catholic world —and reflecting, besides, on what is established by the sacred canons relative to acts of this native—will consent to put an end to a state of things heompatible with the relig;on which the.said Govern ment professes, and Which it declares itself ready to msintaiu and proteb' ; a state of things equally irrccon oileable with the schmn troaties to which the Holy See, strong in its"good right, does not cease to appeal. Pray ing your Lordship to forward the present note to your royal Government, the undersigned repeats to him the expression of his sentiments of high. esteem. - 'rho - private letters from Calcutta, and other places the East Indies, describe trade as being rather brisker, but there was much room fur improsement at Ceylon.

'he screw stearn-abip Nautilus left Patras on the 4th instant, with new fruit for this port; two schooners sailed on the previous day.

At Liverpool there has also been a falling off during the last four weeks. This has been partly occasioned in London by the holders of currants having withdrawn their fruit from the market on the Gth instant, in consequendo of the intelligence of serious damage to the crop from heavy rain at the end of last month, a fact which has been fully confirmed by later advice?.
