Tareveteeeete - st reet but of the authority of the Cardinals within the very precincts of the Vatican ! Leagued in the same malign cause as that which has engrossed the imagination and obscured the judgment of the Citizen King, are the Kaiser of AUSTRIA and the Czar of Russia. Leagued in the same glorious cause of political and social emancipa tion with the reforming PONTIFF, are the King of PRUSSIA, the King of SARDINIA, the King of the BELGIANS, and the Grand Dulre of TUSCANY. All the energies of the Cabinet of Berlin are directed to the liberative movement which has latterly been per ceptible in the vicinity of his Italian provinces. She incorporation of the Cracovian republic has not been sufficient to appease the anxieties of the im perial FRANCIS. With NICHOLAS, on the other hand, everything is being done for the consolidation of the vast power already under his yoke for the prosecution of certain ulterior intentions. Among the most im portant means adopted to this end by the Emperor of all the RUSSIAS is, unquestionably, the projection 01 a gigantic line of railway, connecting the capitals o Moscow, St. Petersburgh, and Warsaw. That rail , road will be the spine of the Russian empire. While the United Diet of Prussia is progressing happily in its novel duties, and FREDERICK WILHELM IV. is observing with satisfaction the present and prospective happiness conferred thereby upon his loving subjects, the Venerable Pius is embarrassed by the sudden accumulation of obstacles to his reforms. So, in like manner, is the Sardinian CHARLES ALBERT, and so also must, very speedily, be the Grand Duke of TUSCANY. King LEOPOLD, depressed by the lamentable state of his health, and the momentary antagonism of the Bel gians, threatens to abdicate in favour of a stripling Prince; and the thrones of Spain and Portugal are still only doubtfully occupied by ISABELLA and MARIA DA GLORIA. Among the lesser points of European interest are the partial reconciliation of the Greek King OTno and the Sublime Porte, and the opening . of the Diet of the Swiss Confederation at Berne, amidst urgent and numerous anxieties. Probable as many of the consequences are, which may be inferred from the foregoing circumstances, the most likely amongst them are, however, as uncertain as the elevation of the Due D'AUMALE into the Viceroy of Algeria, or of ABD-EL-KADER into the Emperor of Morocco. STANLEY grounds his removal •.erom office on other r grounds, so as to exclude that appeal—to prevent him from submitting his case to the judgment of learned and impartial men. Such a proceeding cannot pos sibly be justified, and Mr. LANGSLOW would clearly be entitled to a revision of his sentence from the pre sent Ministry, but for what, with all respect for the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies, we must designate as a most ridiculous and absurd regulation which he has adopted, investing his predecessors with an official infallibility, and refusing to reconsider or interfere with any decision at which they might have arrived, no matter how erroneous it may be. - -- --- THEATRE ROYAL, HAYMARR.E.T.

We trust that this rule may speedily be altered, and that Earl GREY may not, by a strict adherence thereto, subject himself to the charge of being the participator in and abettor of tyranny and oppression. We read in a letter from Constantinople in the Augsburgh Gazette —" The French Embassy had addressed to the Porte reclamations relative to debts contracted by the last alministration of Tripoli and of Barbary, which debts the Porte took upon itselr. The affair has just been analysed, the debt recog nised by the Porte as being due to France, being settled at 1,600,000 Turkish piastres (about 400,000 f.)" According to the last arrivals from St. Peters. burgh, the Emperor IN ICIIOLAS will not go into Ger. many this year. His MAJESTY is said to have directed his Minister of Foreign Affairs to collect in August at St. Petersburgh all the diplomatic representatives of Russia to the Great Powers. A letter from Berne of the 9ch says,— " The day before yesterday M. de Rois-le-Comte went to the President of the Diet, and rtad t) him a s .mewhat long dispatch dated 4th July, by which M (it izot not only fully ratified the language held by the Ambassador in his famous discours ecrit, but even strengthened the expression of his idea by ascribing to the great conti nental powers with respect to our country more hostile intentions than a simple examination of the complica tions which may arise in case the majority of the Swiss states should take collective measures against the mi nority. In a word, the written language of M. Guizot is in complete opposition with the declarations that he made in the Chamber of Deputies in the sitting in which the interpellations teok place. After having read this dispatch to M. Ochs , nbein, they Ambassador off red, ac cording to usage, to leave him a copy. The President of tie Vorert at first replied by a positive refusal, but afterwards consented to the formality, declaring, how ever, that as the dispatch was not addres sed to him as President, nor to the Vorort, he could not communi cate it officially either to the i 'let or the Directory." The attention of the House of Commons was on Tuesday evening taken up with another case of great apparent hardship, and we will add of injustice, to one of the official servants of the Crown in our colo nies, which places in the strongest light the system too frequently adopted in our Colonial-office, to the deep and serious injury, not only of the individuals whose prospects in life are ruined on some frivolous and insufficient pretexts, but also of the inhabitants of the settlements in v,hich these instances of arbitrary power are suffered to prevail, and which interferes with and impedes the course of justice. The necessity of establishing the perfect independence of the bench of justice, of preserving those distinguished and learned men who may be elevated to the judicial rank from every undue influence, has long been recognised in this country. It has been felt that without that Madrid papers of the Bth have arrived. The Faro of that day had been seized on account of an article on the Palace question. Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA was present at the banquet given tothe Pope's Nuncio. The Ministers had neglected to invite him, but the QUEEN caused him to be sent for, and he was present at her MAJESTY'S express desire. The mission of Senor SARAGOSSA to NAUVAEZ to induce the General to place himself at the head of a new Cabinet had failed. NmtvAez replied that he could not leave Paris, as he had pressing affairs to arrange with Queen CHRISTINA. Carlist bands have appeared in the neighbourhood independence there could be no safety for popular rights and liberties, no guarantee for the honest and efficient discharge of the important duties of their station. To suffer them to remain dependent on the mere will and 'pleasure of the Executive, who, in the event of any obnoxious decision or refusal on their parts to become the instruments of tyranny and oppression, could crush and ruin them, was found to involve a principle of the most dangerous character. We could scarcely hope for a course of strict ard unbending rectitude from one whose. private interests are brought into collision with his public duties, and who is too well aware that the faithful and conscien of Gerona. MADRID BOLSA, JULY B.—The Three per Cents. closed on the Bth inst. at 264 for cash ; thu Five per Cents. at 17 ; and Passives at 51 cash. Intelligence has been received from Lisbon of the 9th, and from Oporto of the 10th instant, by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Madrid, which arrived at Southampton last night. The Junta of Oporto has dissolved itself, and SALDANIIA and his troops have entered the town, where they are at present in garrison with the Spanish troops under CONCHA. The castle of Foz is garrisoned by English marines. The Duke of TERCEIRA and his fellow-captives have arrived in Lisbon. The Ministers of Lisbon, and the English, Spanish, and French Ambassadors have, it is said, expressed their disapproval of the convention entered into with the Junta before their surrender. The fol lowing proclamation has been issued by SALDANLIA : " Comrades !—Her Majesty, through her magnanimity granted the fullest amnesty, ar;cl no one is permitted to remove the veil drawn over the past. The army, which con .tautly has given most evident proofs of its obedience and devotion to the person of the Queen, will show by its conduct towards every Portuguese, whatever poll t.i.cal opinion he may have followed, that it knows how to respect the will of its Sovereign, and will use every effort to realise a sincere union of the Portuguese family. If any individual, however, which I du notexpect, should full in this sacred duty, punishment will immediately follow the offence. tious discharge of the latter will plunge the former into irretrievable ruin. We can hardly hops that selfish considerations will not ultimately triumph in the great majority of cases, or expect unbiassed decisions from those who are obliged to beccme the mere pup. pets of a superior power. A British judge, therefore, holds his office dam se bene gesserit, and cannot be removed or suspended therefrom save on an address to the Crown from both Houses of Parliament; and it is due to the eminent and learned men who have been selected for the ermine to state that there never has been the slightest occasion to desire that the power of unconditional dismissal had been retained in the Crown. This judicial independence is, if possible, more urgently required in our dependencies than in the mother country. Here there are reports of numerous decisions published, by which almost every queStion that may arise is governed and regulated ; there is an observant press recording and circulating through out every part of the country the legal proceedings, and, in the event of any impropriety in the conduct thereof, ready to expose the error, and to awaken the public indignation against the offender, and there are many competent and learned men who cannot be deceived or blinded by any sophistry or plausibility, by which an effort may be made to make the worse appear the better reason. By these means the most efficient control is established. The voice of public opinion is never slighted or despised. In the great majority of our colonies these things are totally different. The existing laws are generally a sort of compound between the old lex loci and those portions of the British law that from time to time have been added thereto, and brought into ope ration in the district. The complicated and motly character of this patchwork code necessarily affords a much wider discretion to the presiding judge than that which exists in the parent state. He is to a certain extent treading on new ground, and may put forward principles and reasons for his judgments which could have no possible force here. He has, therefore, a far greater opportunity, if dis honestly inclined, of abusing his power than is afforded to an English judge. There are no reports of former decisions to guide or direct him in his judgment, or iitt opposition to which he must assign good and suffi cient reasons if disposed to overrule or set them aside. There is no powerful journalist to ex p os e hi s delin quencies should be go astray, and the members of the bar practising in his court are few in number, and, generally speaking, the anxious seekers after Go vernment patrona4e. Every reason, therefore, tends to establish the vast importance of placing our colo nial judges in a proper position, and extending the rule that has so long been beneficially acted on in this country to our several colonies and dependencies. Mr. LANGSLOW has certainly just grounds of complaint, and we cannot believe that our coun trymen will regard with indifference the manner in which he has been treated. Having sbarristerontheWrestern d e i i s r t e i u tig it u , ishedhimself as rac at ied with every where he had p prospect of success, he, in the ye ar 1832, accepted the office of Attorney. General at Malta, and thereupon relin claisbed hi s English connexion, and devoted himself and iih e w d 'el a l n , da from pe wholly to the public service. When he had filled that situation six years, we are bound to believe efficiently n th si e on fact of his ha vin g subse quently selected for promotion, the office was abo been d to hint until his services could again b:vainsarantt, available. In 1840 he was appointed one of the district e" Judges of Ceylon, in which situation he continued hi s o ffi ce b y L ord STANLEY, to act until deprived of on o what we must cnsi der most frivolo aa and insufficient grounds. Against that sentence Mr. LA:scs Low appeal its justice openly and publicland impeaches forsooth, complains of the f a ilure '. of Lordh STANLEY, his temper and want of self- control and discretion, " Oh wad some power. the giftie gin us , To see ourselves as others see us." We should hardly find that Noble Lord considering such defects as sufficient to incapacitat e the persong so affected from the public service; but he is also di latory in the administration of justice. True it is there is a tribunal which constitutionally should decide every question of that description, and to w hi c h, if the dismissal were justiticd on such grounds, Mr. LINGsLow would be entia‘ed to appeal; but that would be expensive ; and in mercy to him II Lord " DUKE OF SALDANHA. "Head-quarters at Richouza, July 2, 1841." The Marquis of LOULE, and several other dis tinguished membrs of the Junta, have arrived at Lisbon. The Conde Das ANTAS and the Visconde SA DA BANDEIRA are still detained as prisoners. It is rumoured that the QUEEN, unmindful of the recent lesson which has been taught her, is about to recal CnsTa. CABRAL. Several Cabralistas have been ap pointed to high official situations, and these appoint ments being in direct violation of the promises made when foreign intervention was asked for, have given great umbrage. Neither has the QUEEN performed her promise of entering at once upon a constitutional course of government. A decree was issued on the 9th, continuing to the end of July the suspension of the guarantees of personal liberty, and prohibiting until that day the publication of newspapers and pamphlets. Generals PovoAs, GUEDES, BERNANDINO, and REI3OCIIO, and the three members of the Junta of " the Supreme Government of the kingdom," JOSE DA SILVA PASSOS, FRANCISCO DE PAULA LOBO D'AVILA, and JUSTIN() FERREIRA PINTO BASTO, sailed from Oporto to Vigo on the 3d.

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. They confirm the report which we mentioned yes terday of the confession and attempted suicide of M. TESTE. The evidence produced before the Chamber of Peers on Monday was conclusive as to the guilt of M. TESTS. It appears that M. PELLAPRA, finding that an attempt was making to save M. TESTE by convicting him (PELLAPRA) of swindling, determined to tell the truth, and confiding to Madame PELLAPRA certain documents, desired her to transmit them to the Chancellor. Those documents were transmitted accordingly, and were verified by M. ROQTJEBERT, the notary of PELLAPRA, before the Chamber on Monday. The evidence of M. ROQUEBERT left no doubt on any person's mind that the bribe of 100,000 francs had been received by the Minister. While this witness was deposing to the fact messengers from the Chancellor were searching the books at the proper department of the Minister of Finance to verify an account furnished by Madame PELLAPRA from among her husband's papers, described as a me morandum of the sum paid to the Minister, and the shape in which it was paid—viz., Treasury bills. Towards the latter part of the day extracts from the Treasury books were exhibited, showing that on the 2d of March, 1843, M. PELLAPRA had taken four Treasury hills, for which he paid 94,000 f., which fell due on the 2(1 of September following, but were not demanded till the 12th ; and on that same day, the 12th, CHARLES TESTE, the Minister's son, lodged 95.000 f. for a Treasury bill to his own order, payable the 12th of March following. The memorandum b •ing thus verified, M. TESTE was called on to offer some explanation, but he merely demanded a copy o f that document as well as of the notes and papers furnished by Madame PELLAPRA. The transaction, he said, appeared to belong to his son. Leaving the court, m ho a l n v . ever, he was heard to e xclaim tha t h e was a lost At the conclusion of the day's proceedings M.

No wound was inflicted, and the only trace of the explosion was a black mark from the powder on the flannel waistccat and the skin. • It was remarked that the discharge of the second pistol produced a severe contusion and a violent swelling, and that it was with great difficulty M. TESTS could be induced to submit to have the contusion dressed." The trial was resumed on Tuesday, but M. TEsTE was not present. The report of the Commissary of Police was read, which stated that having heard of the attempt at suicide by M. TESTE, he (the Commissary) had repaired to the prison of the Luxembourg, and upon his addressing an interrogation to M. TE•:TE, the latter acknowledged what he had done, saying " It is true; I did attempt to commit suicide. I have ever pre ferred honour to life. It was my own son who pro cured me the pistols, and I thank him for the act, give which I esteem one of filial piety." The declaration of Dr. BAYLE was next read, de scribing the state of the prisoner. There was a con tusion on the left breast. The pistol had been s tightly pressed upon the region of the heart as to have been deprived of air, and the ball could not penetrate. The doctor ordered an application of leeches ; M. TESTE obstinately refused to allow their application but permitted him to apply an emollient poultice. The pistols were pocket pistols. The director of the prison stated that he heard a report, which he first took to be a squib. Having asked a turnkey if he had heard a report, and the latter answering in the negative, he went up to M. TESTE'S room. He saw seated on the staircase M. TESTE'S servant, looking pale and mute with fear, He hastened by him into the chamber. M. TESTE had on his trousers and shirt only. Witness ques tioned M. TESTE, asking with great emotion, " What ha;te you done ?" " Monsieur le Directeur," coldly replied M. TESTS, and putting his hand upon his breast, "I am not hurt, and I am less moved than you are." The witness called for the doctor to be sent for, and set about looking for the pistols. M. TESTE told him he need not trouble himself seeking, as they were on his desk. Another witness confirmed this testimony, adding that M. TESTE was perfectly calm. It was proved by the man servant that prisoner's counsel, Messrs. PAILLET and DEBRANT, had dined with the prisoner in the evening, and that nothing occurred to excite suspicion of his intention. He suddenly saw a light, and heard a slight report, when running into his master's chambers he exclaimed, " M. le President, what have you done ?" and then ran out, crying for help, and sat down on the stairs. where he was found by the director of the prison. The Chincellor then c Ailed on M. RLNOUARD the reporter of the commission, to read a letter he had received from M. TESTE that morning.

I accept all that the Court may choose to do in my absence, for my pre sence is henceforth of no necessity, unless indeed it should judge right to constrain my appearance by force. I respect its authority, and resign myself to it." The Greflier of the Chamber read a report of the huis der, to the effect that M. TI.STE had refused to accompany him to the bar of the court. He said that " his presence was useless ; that he could no: combat the facts produced against hint; and that he dearly expiated the one sole act of weaknEss of his whole life." The Procureur•General then called upon the Court to declare all the accused guilty, and the counsel for the accused were proceeding with their addresses when the past left. M. PELLAPRA, it is said, has arrived at Haarlem, in Holland. It is generally supposed that General CUBIERES will be acquitted, and that tke others will be found guilty of corruption. The Constitutionnel states that the secretary to the Mayor of Thionville poisoned himself on Fridiy to avoid the consequences of a prosecution for cor ruption. The system is producing its fruits. The trial of M. TESTF will not only shake the Mi nistry—it will do Tn.0r , 3,, it will 'hake the system according to which constitutional government has been lately managed in France. It will do for the violation of the Charter by fraud what the Revolution of 1830 did for the violation of the Charter by force —render it henceforth impossible, and at length the Charter will become a truth.

P. Campbell), the general manager (Mr. C. Stevin), the engineer (Mr. Gocch), and the special guards, for Gos port, where it arrived at a quarter before five o'clock, which was the signal for a salute from the Commander in-Chief's ship Victory, 104, Captain Pasco, with yards manned and dressed. On the platform at the Clarence-vard her Majesty was received by Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart, the Corn mander•in Chief ; Major , General the Right lion.

Sir Charles Ogle escorted her Majesty to the state barge, and assisted in the Royal Family. Lord Adolphus Fitaclarence then took the helm, and steered the barge through the Weevil Lake (it being dead low water) to the Fairy, under the charge of Commander Crispin. A tew minutes were occupied in embarking the whole of the royal party, when the vessel was released from her moorings, arid left the harbour under the cheers of the seamen and visitors afloat, and the salutes usually fired upon such occasions. On approaching Spithead the fl. , et under Sir Charles Napier presented a splendid sp-ctacle. The Fairy arrived at Cowes harbour a little before six o'clock, and disembarked the royal party at Trinity wharf, whence they proceeded in four carriages to Osborne, where the royal standard was immediately hoisted from the summit, of the high tower. The Court is believed to se journ at Osborne until the dissolution of Parliament, and we are informed that the royal children will remain at Osborne during her Majesty's visit to Scotland. kmber., Notting., Boston, and Eastern Junction . 2% ••.. itriningham and Oxford Junction 10 .... 18 ;trifling., Wolver., and Dudley.. 10 .... 15% . • .... .• . • tuckinghanishire 6/.43.... % dis... •• • • , tleannian 35 .... 29% ..... ,liester and Holyhead 27% ••••• • • • • • )üblin and Belfast Junction .. 15 .... 2 %% .. • • ...• Zasteni Counties .. .. 20 . 20% .

PORTSMOUTH; WEDNESDAY. —The Amphitrite, 26 was commissioned at this port this morning by the ap pointment to her of Captain T. R. Eden (1844). She is to have a complement of 240 men, which, we imagine, she will not be long in picking up, men_ having a stron4 feeling in tavour of small vessels of this class, and Cap tain Eden being a highly esteemed and generally liked officer. The Amphitrite was a 42-gun frigate, built at Bombay in 1816, after the lines of the French Leda. She is of 1,064 tins, and will carry a very heavy'arma ment. This is her first commission as a ranee corvette. An order has been down for some days past to enter men for the Cambrian, 36, at this port, which is expected daily to be put in commission by Captain the Hon. H Keppell, purported to carry a broad pendant to the E )sl India and China station, to relieve the Fox, 42, Commo• dore Sir H. Blackwood, and not to go to New South Wales, as stated on Monday. The Vengeance, 84, Captain Lushington, has at length got her reduced complement, men having exhibited an alacrity to join since Commander Aldham has been ap. pointed to her. AQUATICS.

We were yesterday gratifik d by being permitted to inspect the models deposited in the model room of the Electric Telegraph Company, at 345, Strand. In this room there are working models of every electric telegraph that has ever ben invented, and it is most interesting to have the gradual perfectionement •f the instrutnent, from its fir. , t appearance as a mere philosophical tey to its present state, in which it may be considered as a power of even greater potency than the printing press itself. Wondzrful, however, as is the double needle telegraph (the one at present in e it bids fair to be superseded by what we may cae the symbolic printing telegraph. The powers of this telegraph are at present incalculable, but already by its means a thousand letters have been transmitted in one minute from one terminus to another. In the same room there is an electrical clock, which requires no winding up, and which, were it not liable to wear out from wear and tear, of material, might be considered as having solved the problem of perpetual motion. The clock will go as long as the metal of which it is made shall last, or th , electric wires shall remain. We also visited the business , room of theestablishment, and witnessed the transmission of a message to Southampton, and the return of an answer in less than half a minute. The gentleman who attended us over the rooms was most attentive in showing the working of the models, and most lucid in his explana tions of the modus operandi of the various telegraphs, and of the relative values of the various inventions and improvements. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT OFF TILE FAIRY STEAM-BOAT, Late on Wedi:osiiay Mr. J.

Sunday. George Arnold, son of the last corroborated the testimony given above. City policeman, 16G, William Byford, the beadle of St. Mary at-Hill, and James Martin, city police-sergeant 61, were examined at considerable length, but none of them could give such information as might eventually lend to an identification, and, after a protracted inves tigation, Mr. PAYNE rmarked, that this inquiry was one of a most important character, because, if the deceased were the person represented to have been lust off the Fairy on Sunday last, it would se, m that her death had arisen from oue of two causes. viz., that the steamer was so ex cessively crowded as to endanger the lives of the public in such a manner, and which he regretted to say was but too frequently the case with the majority of the vessels on the Thames; or, on the other hand, deceased may have been pushed over. In the latter instance, it would be their duty, in common justice, to investigate the matter thoroughly; and with regard to the overloading of steamboats, he (Mr. Payne) considered it of such public insporance that he was d.termined the present case should have a mast rigid inquiry, and would, there f.ore, in consequence of the lateness of the hour, sug gest to the jury an adjournment, in the hope that the body would in the interim be identified.

A 'mut six o'clock on the morning of that day William Matey, a labourer, residin g in the parish of South Pool, Devon, went down to theSalcombe river to get a boat, which was moored out in the tide beyond his reach. He stripped himself, but not hting able to swim, he colleckd two or three oars, a spar, and gangboard, which he placed under his chest wit.,out lashing thpni together; then paddling with his hands endeavoured to reach the boat. The moment, however, he got into the run of the tide, out of his depth, the timbers parted company, and he was at on 1. , left to hie Own resources. For a moment or two he con'inued above water, hut jast as he was sink ing, for the second time, the Rev. E. L.

So remarkable are the circumstances which are recurring in foreign countries simultaneously with ' the dissolution of our English Parliament, that it cannot be unprofitable to enumerate those which demand the most consideration as directly affecting ourselves. Formerly it was considered in these islands that any thought about our continental rela tions was an injudicious exercise of popular curiosity, and that those relations were best consigned to the diplomatic skill of the Chief Secretary for the Foreign Department and his subordinate colleagues, while the population at large contented themselves with the development of their mercantile and agri cultural resources. That old pig-beaded notion is exploded. Neither the immaculate mechanism of the heavens, as conceived in the Peripatetic PhilosOphy, nor the beautiful hypothesis of the nebular system, as imagined by the elder HERSCHEL, are more signally refuted than this presumptuous adage. Neither the Galilean telescope, ai applied to the scheme of Pr- THAGOILAS, nor the monster speculum of Lord ROSSE, as directed to the nebula in Orion, have more effec tually revealed the shallowness of a dogmatic and theoretic astronomy than the experience of the last quarter of a century of popular legislation has dis played the absurdity of the old drawing- TOOM doctrine, which restricted the consi deration of foreign affairs to a particular class of statesmen and diplomatists. It is not only, there fore, considered allowable, but most advisable and even most esential, that the people of this free country should sedulously contemplate, in order that they may fully comprehend, the position and move ments of the Governments of the different nations on the globe. For in England the conduct of the State is perpetually regulated according to the impulses afforded by Thiblic Opinion, and in order that th - at external authority may in fluence in the right direction, that the affairs it is absolutely neces saryearth should be 9f the other kingdoms of the mina. Without debateds and digested in . the popular of the Ministerial e such preliminary examination doings be aer . oss the wat r, the British Administration could' perilousessantly plunged into dilemmas. the most bewildering anti Immediately anterior, therefore, d to the dissolution et. in the of our Parliament, before we are involved it were a ex citement and ardour of a general 1- . judicious precaution on the part of t he the franchise to cast a final and e co l Z7r e e ' h s° :,, s s i, o , f e glance over the situation of fe • a mrs, not only ° i • a Chr i sten d o m, but of Heathendom into the bargain. But, above a ll, one fact should he remembered, on e e paramoun t circumstance should be continually bor ne in recollectio n, and that is—that the two great forces are still at war in the cause of civilisation, the im pulsive and the repulsive, the progressive and the retrogressive. And—a remetnbrance, this, pregnant with meaning I—that an affection for freedom seems dying away in the counc il chambers of the land of liberty, while that sublime lo v e of the natural rights of the p eopl e is rising into life in the co uncil chambers of which has for centuries been i n a p articular ma nera land o f s l avery an d d eg radation. We have recently referred to the denationalising, and despotic tendencies of the policy latterly adopted - by the KING of th e F RENCH, and we have contrasted with it the enn oblin g and d lib eral policy recently adventured upon by the Sovereign PONTIFF. As a fitting corollary to those i , n r o e m ne i b niou i‘ s t convic tion observations, we now hear from Paris of the p of the associates of the PARMENTIER, CUMEEES, TEST E , and PELLinai ßsteA. r— ;_. we receive the di , ,greceful details of their official peculation—we receive accounts of the ineffectual attempts made by M. TESTS to pistol himself to the THE COAST DEFENCE BRIGADE. We were the first to mention the appointment of Cora- mander Jerningham, of the coast guard service, some weeks since as an additional commander to the Excellent for organizing the coast guard men into a brigade for the defence of our shores in• the event of an emergency, and for other purposes. The plan of organizing this highly important body for the above objects is the sug gesti..m of the Noble First Lord of the Admiralty, the Earl of Auckland. The drilling of the coast guard body is after the prin ciples taught in the Excellent, and has commenced with great vigour under the superintendence of the Controller- General, Captain Houston Stewart, C. 8., a gallant and most meritorious officer, and Commander Jerningham. An instructing battery has already been thrown up at Cambridge, Isle of Wight, and the system has com menced all along the coast in good earnest. It is the in tention to establish instructing batteries all round the kingdom. Even now, from all appearances of the pro gress made, and the manifest good •will of the corps, the excellence of the system, and the indefatigable example of the officers, it is most clear that within six months from the commencement of the plan we shall have at least 1,000 good awl able men available for the service, afloat or ashore, when called upon. This admirable force would at once man two or three block ships and gun-boats, the latter no mean auxilliary to a force, espe cially in shallow water. The Excellent is to afford every facility required for carrying out this system. Teo much credit cannot be bestowed upon the plan and its noble originator, nor for the highly judicious selection of the officers appointed to earry it into execution. THE CHESTERFtELD MUKDER.—The town of Ches.. terfield has again been thrown into a state of extit Anent by the apprehension of Mr. R. Statham, a MU er butcher, charged with abetting in the murder of George Collis. A fortnight ago Anthony Launt, a butcher, was apprehended on the same charge. Evidence has now been given against Mr. Statham (who found the money, and evinced great interest in the defence of Platts, ex ecuted as one of the murderers of Collis). A witness swears to seeing Mr. Statham in the yard at the back of Morley's ah p, and to certain conversations passim , ' 4 " between him and Morley at th e ti me n etts and Col 1 _____-------_ DUNDEE TRADE.
