FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. *- THE BRAZILS. ty the clipper ship Swordfish, arrived in the Mersey, we have recent advices from Ria Janeiro to the Bth, Bahia to the 18th, and Pernambuco to the 25th of August. From Pernambuco we learn that the stock of sugar was Very much reduced, and the balance of the old crop ar riving at market was of ordirary and damp qualities. The weather was very favourable for the growing crop, which would commence to make its appearance in No vember. About 800 tons had been purified for shipment within the week ending August 27, at 20s. 3d. for whites, and 15s. 10d. per cwt. for browns ; in cases, 21s. 3d. to 235. for common ass'atments ; in bags, 19s. ld. to 19s. 6d. for low, and 15s. ld. to 16s. sd. for muscovadoes-all free on hoard. The weather having latterly taken up, the receipts of cotton were on the increase ; but the demands being active at 4 15-16 d. to W. per pound, free on board, it was pu rified almost immediately on arrival ; and, as several vessels were waiting to load, and a speculating purchaser was operating freely, prices were not expected to go lower for the present. The stock was reduced to 1,000 bags. Freights were 255. to 30s. per ton for sugar, to ballast ;. and 7-16 d. to Id. and 5 per cent.. for cotton. The rate of exchange had advanced to 26d. The Thomas and Henry and Sobraon, from Sydney, sailed for London on the 26th of August.. In Bahia the stock of sug.ir was 5,000 cases, and of cotton 3,000 bags. Prices were 17s. 641. per cwt. free on board, for rnuscovadoes ; 21s. 2d. for white sugars. 4,500 to 4,800 reis per arroba for cotton. Freights were dull. with a limited demand, the quota tions being 455. to 50s. for sugars to the channel, and Id. and •5 per cent. for cotton to Liverpool. Exchange was firm at 251 d. At Rio exchange was quoted at 25i-d. The stock of coffee was 30,000 bags, and superiors could be shipped free on hoard at 295. 11d. to 30s. Bd. per cwt., firsts at 28s. 4d. to 295. Id., and ordinary at 265. to 265. 9d. Freights were improving, several vessels having been taken up at 455. to 50s. per ton for the Channel, and as high as 60s. paid for a few small English vessels. The Archimedes and Alice Brooks were loading for London, and the Cynthia, Sarah, Commodore, and John Murray for the Channel. THE OVERLAND MAIL. The Overland Mail, for some days past anxiously ex pected, arrived on Wednesday. The cause of its deten tion was the vialonce of the monsoon. The Precursor took the mail to Alexandria, which port it reached on the 16th instant, where the Ripon was waiting to receive it; when the latter sailed for England without delay. The Ripon brings no Bombay mail; but seven days' later in telligence from that Presidency appears in the Calcutta papers. There is very little news by the despatches now received. India was tranquil •, and so was China. The story about Goolaub 'Singh's disaffection is again denied, and the Delhi Gazette asserts that he and the British authorities were never on better terms. It was said at Lahore that the sentence of imprisonment for life pronounced upon Moolraj bad been commuted, and would in a few days be officially promulgated. Ajeet Singh, the ex-rajah of Ladwa, who it will be recoil. cted escaped from Allahabad, is dead. The Benares Bank is to be closed, and the assets are said to be greater than were at first supposed. Trade at Calcutta was tolerably brisk. Freights had declined. The money market was easy. Exchange on London, ls. 101 d. for six months' first class bills. Canton was quiet. Very little was doing in imports; but in exports a fair amount of business was transacted. Shanghae had been visited with heavy rains, that injured most materially the rice and cotton crops, by which cala mity many of the inhabitants were totally ruined. The former article rose enormously in price, and all other pro visions partook of the advance. ROME. The Naples correspondent of the Times says that it is very probable that diplomatic intercourse between the government of the French Republic and that of the Pope will be suspended. He adds, in the course of a very inte resting letter, that the French army " is now, not an auxi liary, but a hostile force. What can the Pope do, or how can he disembarrass himself from so unexpected a situa tion ? He must, of course, full back on the other mem bers of the Conference ; but how little consolation can he find amongst them ! Naples and Spain dare not speak on terms of equality with France, and, therefore, all they say at Portici will be disregarded, and we find that since the 18th of August last nothing has been done with a common accord. Austria is, therefore, the only solid anchor for the Papal Government to hold on, and if it should chance that Prince Schwartzenberg takes the retrograde line, and opposes himself directly to French pretension, to what state are matters brought at last, and may not a crisis arise when there will not be twenty-four hours between peace and war ?" It is announced as positive that the Emperor of Russia has offered to the Roman Government a loan of five milion crowns, guaranteed by the King of Naples to be repaid by annuities, and to bear interest at the rate of 21 per cent. per annum ; and, moreover, that the offer will be accepted. THE POPE'S MANIFESTO.—The Paris papers contain the manifesto of the Pope, addressed " To his well-be loved subjects." His holiness, professing to have the true and permanent prosperity of the Romans at heart, decrees—a council of state, which shall give its advice on bills before they are submitted to the sovereign ann.-firm a state committee for the finances ; provincial councils confirmed ; the municipalities to receive an extension of franchise ; reforms and ameliorations in the civil, crimi nal, and administrative legislation ; and, finally, an am nesty is accorded. (This document excludes from all hope of pardon " the members of the Provisional Government, the members of the Constituent Assembly, the members of the Triumvirate, and of the Government of the Repub lic, the chiefs of the military corps, and those who have rendered themselves unworthy by their conduct during the late events. The same reservation is applicable to the military and employe's of all arms." This amnesty, which promises pardon to all with the exception of everybody, reminds us of the sorrowful legend of the three boys, the whole of whom fell through the ice, and " the rest they ran away.") These concessions were considered by the people of Rome to be so niggardly, that the greatest discontent was manifested as soon as they became gene rally known. The proclamations were torn down from the walls, and the people vented forth their denunciations in the strongest terms of ridicule and disgust. As for the amnesty, no language could convey the deep feeling of ani mosity and regret with which it was contemplated. It may be remarked as singular, though not altogether unex pected, that throughout the whole of this manifesto, the name of France nowhere occurs, though she has played so prominent a part in restoring the Sovereign Pontiff to his temporal government. This studied omission has griev ously wounded the pride of that country, and is certainly not calculated to heal the differences so long existing be tween the two nations. A SUPPLEMENT TO THE " INDEX PURGATORIUS.”— The Pope, by a Decretum hearing date the 30th of May, but renewed on the 6th of June, and first published in the Giornale di Roma of the 31st August, " condemns and proscribes" the following works :-1. On the Five Wounds of the Catholic Church, &c. 2. The Constitution accord ing to Social Justice, by Rosmini; with an Appendix on the Unity of Italy, by Antoni Rosmini Serbati. 3. The Modern Jesuit, by Vincenzo Gioberti. 4. Funeral Dis course for the Slain at Vienna, by Father Ventura—four books already in everybody's hands in Italy. A letter from Genoa of the 16th inst. announced the departure on that day of Garibaldi in the Tripoli Royal steam boat, for Sardinia, and thence to Tunis. HUNGARY. According to recent letters from Hungary, the most frightful distress prevails in that unfortunate country. One of them states that the town of Losonez had been pillaged and destroyed by the Russians ; most of the inha bitants were wandering about the ruins half-naked and famished ; whilst several, even of the principal notabilities, had died of hunger. At Theresiponel the Jewish com munity bad been ordered by the Austrians to supply 25,000 pairs of shoes ; hut, being totally unable to do so for lack of funds, they were fined 200 florins a day for each day's delay ; and, that sum not being paid, the principal Jews were arrested. La Patrie contains the following paragraph relative to the refusal of the Sultan to surrender the Polish and Hun garian refugees We believe that we are authorised to state that the Porte, relying on existing treaties, refuses positively to accede to the demand of extradition of the llungarian refugees made by the Emperor of Russia. This refusal may produce serious complications. Couriers have been despatched from Paris to the different courts inte rested in the question." Subsequent accounts, as will be seen, confirm this. THE LOST CROWN OF HUNGARY.--One of the many subjects of speculation at the nresent moment is the fate of the Hungarian Crown—not, by a figure of speech, the Hungarian monarchy, but the actual "round and top of sovereignty," the golden diadem itself. It is generally believed that Kossuth has taken it with him in his flight ; if so, it has for the second time, crossed the frontiers of Turkey. The past history of this crown is a curious one, and as full of vicissitudes as the lives of some of those who have worn it. The Magyars attach a superstitious value to the relic of their ancient monarchy ; there is a legend that it was wrought by the hands of angels for St. Stephen, who was crowned with it in 1001 ; history, with a more limited faith, records that it was sent as a present to Pope Sylvester 11. As to what has become of it there are many rumours. According to some, it has been buried in a secret place. According to others, Kossuth has it in his personal possession, and by this time the diadem that was the gift of a pope to a saint has been stripped of its jewels to go as bribes to the Mahomedan, and the gold has terminated an almost sacred existence of eight centu ries as ignominiously as a mere piece of stolen plate in the melting pot of a Jew I AMERICA. The Royal Mail steam -ship Caledonia arrived in the river on Tuesday morning at eleven o'clock, and brought dates from New York to the 11th inst., and 21 passengers. The cholera still continued to decline, and had disap peared from New York, in an epidemic form. The steam-ship Niagara reached New York on the ith instant, and took intelligence of six steamers. She re ported the arrival of the Europa at Liverpool, and saw on her passage the steamers Cambria, America, Ilibernia, Canada, and Sarah Sands. The Empire City, with one month's later news from California, was anxiously looked for at New York. According to all appearances, the secret expedition, designed for the invasion of Cuba, has been knocked on the head for the present, in consequence of bad arrange ment on the part of those who were at the head of it. A rumour of an insurrection in the eastern part of the island had been circulated, but this had arisen from the fact that the government had chartered two steamers to take troops for reinforcing the garrison at certain exposed points. General Taylor is reported to be still in very feeble health. SHIPPING NEWS.—Arrived at New York: Aberdeen, and Devonshire, of Liverpool. THE HENRY CLAY.—Nothing has yet transpir"d as to the origin of the fire by which this unfortunate vessel was destroyed. She had en hoard 200 bales cotton ; 1,000 barrels flour; 800 barrels rosin; 30 hoghsheads tobacco; =83,000 worth india rubber shoes and coal for ship's use. The value of the whole cargo is estimated at 830,000. It is said to be fully insured on this side of the water. The vessel is insured for 4166,000. The New York Herald says:—" In the present state of matters it is impossible to ascertain whether any of the cargo has been saved in the hold by the scuttling of the vessel. The rosin was in the bottom. The cotton was between decks. It is intended to raise her with casks, and then the whole truth will be revealed, both as to the cargo and the vessel. We ap prehend that even her bottom will be found to be of little value. It is believed that none of the rosin is burnt, as the water filled the hold before the fire communicated with it." CANADA. — Lord Elgin an the sth inst. proceeded with his Countess and suite to visit Niagara Falls, with a view, it is supnosed, to meet General Taylor, who is staying there. His Lordship is not expected to visit Toronto, Hamilton, or any part of Upper Canada in his progress. Public feeling continues in an excited state. The harvest in Upper Canada is nearly gathered, and the crops ex cellent. COMMERCIAL. NEW YORK, Sept. 11. Flour dull, and sells at .85 to 5,12 for common State, 85,19 to 5,23 for straight State and Western, Southern .85.38 to 5,50. Rye flour 83 to 3,06.

FREIGHTS.—NavaI stores were taken for Liverpool at 18d., and heavy goods at 158., and measurement goods were taken at 20s. for London. THE COTTON TRADE. The question of supply, in view of the increase of consump tion, has again become of paramount importance, and is likely to challenge a closer scrutiny than for some years past. It is a question that is always involved in much uncertainty, particu larly at so early a period of the season as this ; and the indul gence in anything like definite estimates would be presumptu ous in the extreme, as so many vicissitudes may yet arise to the advantage or disadvantage of the growing crops. We think it may be safely asserted, however, that, what with the frosts of April, which, by rendering replanting ne-essary to an im portant extent, retarded the progress of cultivation several weeks in some sections, and the excessive rains of July, which washed the hills, flooded the lowlands, and kept the grass and weeds rank in the fields—and still further, the recent destruc tive overflow on Red River—there can hardly be a doubt that the total product of the present season will fall short of the last by several hundred thousand bales The quality of the new supplies thus far this season proves much superior to those of last. year, and they give warrant for the expectation of a considerably higher average classification than was attained for the crop of 1848. The sales of new crop up to this date amount to 200 bales, at a range of 101 to 12 c. for Good Middling to Good Fair, with some fancy parcels at 13 to 14 c. per lb. In addition to the causes already enumerated, as operating against the production of a full crop, the past few days h9ve brought intelligence that the boll worm is quite destructive in many sections, and that in several portions of Louisiana and Mississipi caterpillars have appeared upon the plants, which it is teared may prove the same species of worm that committed such ravages in 1846. It is devoutly to be hoped, however, that this may not Le the case, or at least that the lateness of their appearance, and a favourable change in the weather (which has thus far been rather too wet), will prevent the ac comp!ishment of very extensive injury. Some two or three weeks (perhaps less) will determine this important point. STATEMENT OF COTTON.

The sales of Cotton are 1000 bales, at full prices. EXCITEMENT IN SWITZERLAND.—The accounts from Berne, of the 21st instant, announce a revival of the old Sonderbund agitation. The Roman Catholic canton it appears, have been emboldened by recent events on the continent once more to oppose the measures of the Federal government. The council of the canton of Schwytz, which has always headed these factious move ments, began the game at its sitting of the 19th, when it was resolved almost unanimously " that as all legal steps ought to be taken to defend the rights of the cantons against the attacks of the Federal power, there appertained to the individual cantons the right of proposing to the Federal Diet, on its meeting in November, that its reso lution respecting the military capitulations be rescinded, and that each canton be allowed the unrestricted exercise of thube rights which are conferred un all of them by articles 3 and 11 of the Federal Constitution, and which a resolution incompetently adopted could not legally withdraw from them." This resolution has produced a great sensation in Schwytz, and the elections to the Second Chamber (Stande rath) afford a clear proof of the hostile feeling entertained towards the Federal govern ment. Uri and Unterwalden will not hesitate to follow the example of Schwytz ; Zug, Lucerne, and Valais are still wavering. The private correspondence of Calvin discovered at Paris, is about to be published. The sect of Irvingites is on the increase in Berlin ; the congregation now amounts to six hundred. It is not certain that their meetings will be tolerated. The cholera is said to have shown itself in some spots on the bleak and barren Alps, which are 2000 feet above the level of the sea. The French colony of Cayenne is described as in a state of utter ruin, in consequence of the sudden emancipation of the negroes. In British Guiana, the retrenchment party in the Com bined Court, finding themselves in a minority, resigned. Proclam.tions have been issued for the election of new members. A private letter from Italy states that proceedings were about to be instituted, at Florence, against the printer who had printed an edition of the Italian Bible for Capt. Pakenham. The New York Era states that " Mrs. Fanny Kemble Butler has gone with a party of down-east celebrities on an excursion to the White Mountains." She travels on horseback. According to the American papers, a steam-boat coming down the Red River, during the late floods, picked up, during a voyage of thirty miles, upwards of one hundred persons who had perched upon trees to save their Sir Edward Stewart Baynes, her Majesty's consul at St. Petersburgh, is appointed agent and consul-general at Tunis, in place of Sir Thomas Reade, deceased. Mr. Er nest Michele is appointed consul at St. Petersburgh, in the place of Sir E. S. Baynes. JUST IN TIME.—A few days ago, at Clermont-Ferrand, preparations were being made for the interment of an in habitant. The coffin was being lowered into the grave, when a few taps were heard from the inside. The poor sinner was only just in time to escape premature inter ment. The coffin lid was immediately lifted up, and the " buried-alive" restored to the light of day. The quality of the wheat crops in France can now be more exactly ascertained, as a considerable amount of new wheat is already in the market, and a sufficient por tion made into flour. The produce of the present year is not equal to that of 1848, which was, however, exceptional; but the crop is considered as an average one in the depart ments round Paris, and an ordinary one in the rest of France. Throughout the west of France the potato crop is described as magnificent, and without the slightest taint. In Normandy and Brittany, the apples used for cider are in extraordinary abundance. ENGLISH GRATITUDE.—A few days ago a medical man was passing through the Quartier St. Germain, in Paris, when he was attracted by a crowd, in the midst of which he found a poor Englishman smitten by an attack of apoplexy. He hastened to render him the assistance that medical aid could afford. The next day the medical man called upon his patient to inquire how he felt. The Englisman asked him what he was to pay. The doctor replied, 10f. for two visits, at sf. each. " Oh," cried the Englishman, " my life is worth more than that ;" where upon he handed the physician a check for 500 f. CHINESE COURT CIRCULAR.—His Majesty, after breakfast, walked a certain distance, and passing through a gate, visited the King-shan (a mound raised within the precincts of the palace, planted with trees, and having a number of grottoes and artificial rocks on it); he subse quently entered into a temple to perform worship with some of his brothers, and others who had followed him, and having returned by a different road, called a council of his Ministers. Horses were then prepared, and a guard appointed for a ride on the following day, when the higher nobility and great Ministers had to attend the Emperor. Such trivial circumstances, which used seldom to be found in the Gazette, are now inserted with great minuteness, to show that Taoukwang is still vigorous, and moves about with ease. King-seih, Keying's son, has been promoted to a high office at the board of the Imperial Clan, to which only the most influential men are nominated. The son of the late Minister Paou-hing has been brought under the notice of the Sovereign as worthy of the Imperial bounty on account of the virtues and services of his father.—China Mail. MYSTERIOUS ARRIVAL AND ITS SPEEDY SOLUTION.— Late on the evening of the 10th or 11th instant, a lady, accompanied only by a large black Newfoundland dog, arrived at the Hotel de Londres, Boulogne sur 111er, from the Folkstone packet ; and having summoned Madame Boutoir, the proprietress, to her presence, she informed her that she had been recommended to her hotel, and meant to take up her abode there until the arrival of her husband, saying at the same time that the name she went by was Mrs. Trafford, to whom all her letters would he addressed, but that ere long she should know who she really was. The clever hostess made no further inquiries ; and the lady, who was joined next packet by her fille de chambre, continued to walk about. the town and call at the post without observation or remark. In the course of her morning rambles she called at Duchocois, the jeweller's shop in the Grand Rue, with a superb ring, a royal (quere Bavarian) crown in brilliants to be repaired, leaving her name and address as above. The words " Graeffin von Landsfeldt" were afterwards discovered on the inner part of the setting; and on the same day a let ter address: d to the Countess of Landsfeldt was brought by the postman to the Hotel de Londres, but refused by Madame B. who would not recognise under that name the THE LITERPO lady with the dog. In the course of that day it was whispered that Lola Montes was in Boulogne; and the lady in the grey dress, and mantilla of the same colour and texture, with bonnet trimmed with orange (not orange flowers), protected by the large Newfoundland dog, became at once an object of attention ; and it was then, and only then, observed that her eyes were of a peculiar size and lustre, and that the pale cheek and neg ligee figure may lately have been all beauty and symme try. On the evening of the 15th a youthful gentleman, with downy light moustache and nez relrouss, apparently not out of his teens, came from London, and claimed the lady with the dog as his wife, giving his name as Mr. Heald ; since when there has been no disguise, and the lady and the youth may be seen almost daily inhaling the sea breeze on the " Porte," or enjoying rural excursions in the environs—the former riding a donkey, seated on a Peru de Minion, whilst the latter devotedly leads the passive animal ; they being now known as Lola Montes and Mr. Heald. IRELAND. 4 There is an apple tree in full blossom (the second growth this season,) in a garden near Ballinacurra. The personal property of the late Mr. William Murphy, grazier and cattle saleman, who died of cholera lately in Dublin, has been sworn under £645,000. Lord and Lady Stanley, who arrived in Dublin on Sa turday, were entertained at a grand dinner party that evening by the Lord-lieutenant. An eminent architect, in Dublin, has been engaged to prepare drawings for a mnrine residence for her Majesty, on the Irish coast, near Killiney. The Dublin journals of Saturday announce several ad ditional examples of rent reduction by Irish landlords. In other instances, the proprietors pay the poor-rates for the tenant. A house on the property of Lird Portarlington, from which a p , rson of the name of Burke had been fleeted, and which was taken by another person, was burned down on Wednesday night. The Dublin Evening Post, of Saturday, contains the following curious announcement :—" Mr. John O'Con nell has announced the commencement of a new Repeal campaign. We have not room to-day for his manifesto to the people of Irelend.' " EMIG.LATION.—There is no cessation of the crowds hurrying to emigrate. On Friday, two of the lareest steamers we have, left for Liverpool. crammed actually with passengers. and there is another to be added to those ships already plying between the two ports.—Tipperary Press. The Limerick Examiner states that the family of Mr. W. S. O'Brien have received a letter from him, dated at the Cape of Good linpe, in which he says that the other convicts and himself enjoy perfect health. He forbears from adding particulars, being aware that, as a matter of course, the letter would be opened. FURTHER OUTRAGE AT CAPPOQUIN.—Between one and two o'clock, on Thursday morning, the soldier on guard at the Market-house in Cappoquin, (where there is a picket cf the 7th Regiment stationed) was attacked by two men armed with pikes. The attack was so sudden that the man had not time to load. Fortunately, he par ried one assailant's charge, but he was wounded by the other on the hand : he also received a stab from a pike on the breast-plate, which, no doubt, saved his life ; and the guard turning out, the cowardly rebels fled. At the previous attack we regret to say that two persons lost their lives. AN EXAMPLE FOR MAGISTRATES.—In pursuance of an order from the magistrates, the inspector of St. Michael's Parish night watch has issued directions to the men under his charge to remove off the streets, each night, at nine o'clock, all improper females. The new regulation came into operation on Sunday evening, when sixty dissolute cnaracters were conveyed to the station house ; on Monday night, fifty-four ; and last night, forty-seven. It is remarkable that none of thos , con fined the first night appeared on the flags the following evenings ; and as this essential regulation is calculated to promote morality, and protect respectable persons from annoyance and insult from this profligate class, we trust the inspector will continue to enforce the order. — Limerick Chronicle. THE DOLLY'S BRAE AFFRAY.—Mr. Beers. the orange grand-master, whose name has been prominent in con nexion with the fatal riot at Dolly's Brae, has published a letter, from which we take the following extract : Really, brethren. the case to which I have to call your attention is so monstrous a violation of the principles of truth, justice, and loyalty, that I am almost inclined to believe it utterly impossible for any man of common ho nesty, and of loyal disposition towards the throne and constitution of Great Britain, to feel the slightest degree of sympathy with a company of vile outlawed assassins, banded together in a most fiendish and treacherous man ner. who dared to interfere with and dictate terms to the loyal and the brave, who met together, on the 12th of last July, for the praiseworthy purpose of commemorating events to which our gracious and beloved Queen owes her throne, and the British nation its power, and to which we all, every one of us, protestants, and even Roman catholics themselves, owe all rights, liberties, and privi leges which we enjoy. I ask you could anything be more monstrous, anything more insulting, anything more auda cious than that companies of prowling rebels to the Queen and the government of the country, should prepare them selves for slaughter, armed with what the felon Mitchel used to call ' the oueen of weapons'—Vl7 , the piho of Scullabogue memory—with muskets also, and scythes, and other deadly weapons, and that these murderers, thus armed to the teeth, should lie in wait, till the orangemen, who were quietly and inoffensively returning home in procession, had nearly all passed on, and that then this body of popish miscreants should fire a murderous volley on their ranks from behind the ditches and hiding-places, and that after they were effectually routed, with the loss of several of their men, by the small band of orangemen whom they attempted to massacre—that then the fault should be laid at the door of the orangemen who were tha assailed, instead of on the ribbonmen, who were the assailers, because the former had the manliness, and the courage, and the sturdy protestant spirit, as well as cor rect and loyal feeling, to celebrate the mercies of the Lord to the British nation in time past, and to avow their de termination to cherish till death those blood-sealed prin ciples of civil and religious liberty which the bravery and devotion of their fathers won for them, and to deprive them of which, efforts are being daily made by foes both to the Queen's throne and the Queen's religion ? * * No, no, brethren, the cunning schemes of the enemies of truth and liberty must be exposed and thwarted, and overcome ; the vile machinations, the atrocious false hoods, the flagrant perjuries of all our enemies must be met with vigour and promptitude, and extermination. Rebels must not be complimented, sympathised with, and supported, because they were not allowed to slaughter the orangemen as they wished, and orangemen must not be run down, must not be hunted, must not be misrepre sented, must not be insulted by popish senators, or by Jesuitical journals, or by hireling officials, because they did not quietly surrender life and liberty to the evil minded and malignant, as well as dastardly and contemp tible ruffians who sought their lives, and whose defeat and capture are things to be gloried in, and to be thank ful for; as, had their efforts been successful, disastrous would the effects have been on the peace of the whole dis trict, and on the security of life and property throughout the country." On Wednesday, Mr. Rea, the attorney for the ribbonmen concerned in the Dolly's Brae affair, applied to the Castlewellan bench of magistrates to pro ceed against one of his clients, John Paul. The learned gentleman, who is a busy Young Irelander, wanted to make a scene. The repeal papers say he did. The ma gistrates refused to entertain his motion, and so it dropped to the ground. RAILWAY AFFAIRS. The arrangements for raising the Britannia tube are now complete. The number of miles of railway open on the 31st of December, 1848, was 5,1261; and the number of miles open on the 30th of June, 1849, was 5,4471. The revenue of the railways of the United Kingdom cannot now be put down at less than £12,000,000 an nually. The total loss upon the atmospheric experiment on the South Devon Railway, after deducting the estimated amount to be realised from the sale of the materials on hand, is 351,000. The deflection perceptible from the weight of a train of 200 tons on the high-level bridge over the river Tyne, recently opened, does not exceed three-tenths of an inch, the weight being a much greater one than the bridge will ever be required to bear. A curious sale took place at an auction mart on Thurs day, namely, of six mortgage debentures of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Company, the property of a contractor on the line. They were disposed of at a reduction of eighty-five per cent. The traffic tables, which constitute an essential part of our paper, exhibit a remarkable decrease in the receipts of railways for the previous week. With an increase of up wards of 600 miles of railway, the railway receipts were about eight per cent. less than for the corresponding period of last year. The amount of traffic for the last week, on 5038 miles of railway, was £233,299, thus accounted for :—.£119,536 for the conveyance of passengers only, £60,812 for the carriage of goods, and the remainder of £52,951 for pas sengers and goods together, not respectively apportioned ; being an increase of £lB2l over the corresponding week of last year, when the mileage was £4134. The average earnings per mile were £46, whilst last year they were £56. EXTENSIVE RAILWAY ROBBERIES. — On Friday, in formation was received by the metropolitan police that, during the passage of the up-train from Normanton to York, some expert thief made his way from the passenger carriage to the luggage van, and cut open a carpet bag, from which was taken 45 gold watches, value £B5O ; 39 silver watches, value £230; 18 gold chains, value £135 ; and miscellaneous jewellery. Also, that a gentleman bad been plundered of £2OO in Bank of England notes whilst standing on the platform at Doncaster. RAILWAY COMPETITION,—Within the last fortnight, we understand, the London and Northwestern, in con junction with the Lancashire and Yorkshire, have com menced carrying goods between Liverpool and Manchester, a distance of thirty-one miles, at the ruinously low figure of Gd. per ton, where they used to have Bs. We further hear that the Gd. includes the expenses of collection and delivery. The cause is a competition with the East Lan cashire and the canal. At a very low estimate it has been calculated that every ton costs the companies 6s. 3d., so that they are losing ss. 9d. on every Gd. earned, or 860 per cent. With these negative gains the less business they do the better. We should advise all applicants for sending goods to be told, " Quite full, can't take in more goods for another month." How long this monstrous competition is to continue the directors only know, but the lose must be frightful on both sides.—Herapatii. L STANDARD. CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE. The Archbishop of Canterbury has presented £5OO to the Colonial Bishopric Fund. The Dean of Hereford proposes making additions to the library of Hereford Cathedral, and throwing it open to the clergy generally, for perusal or reference. On Thursday, tl:e Bishop of Manchester consecrated a a new church at Burnley, in which the Rev. Thomas Nolan preached in the evening of that day. The Duke of Buccleugh gave £3OO towards the erection. The Privy Council on Education have awarded a grant of £2,200 towards the construction of the proposed Training School, at Saltley, near Birmingham, for the diocese of Worcester. The Observer says aat the vacant deanery of Carlisle has been offered to the Rev. Arthur Penryhn Stanley, son of the late Bishop of Norwich. If this be so, the Rev. James Aspinall will have to '• wait a little longer" for his expected promotion. An anonymous donor, under the signature of " Z," has presented to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts the munificent donation of £2OOO in the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Consols, to be applied towards tht funds of the Colonial Bishoprics' Endowment Fund. The Lord Bishop of Victoria preached a farewell sermon on Sunday evening, at the Chapel of Ease, Holloway, prior to his departure for China. His lordship has se lected this chapel for the purpose, he having preached in it a few years ago on the eve of his sailing for China, to enter upon his missionary labours in that country. OttniNATloNs. On Sunday week ordinations were held by eight of the bishops, who ordained the following num bers of gentlemen :—Bishop of Worcester, 23 deacons and 17 priests ; Bishop of Lichfield, 13 deacons and 12 priests ; Bishop of Ely, 4 deacons and 5 priests ; Bishop of Lincoln, 5 deacons and 3 priests; Bishop of Chester, 15 deacons and 7 priests ; Bishop cf Carlisle, 1 deacon and 4 priests ; Bishop of Ripon, 13 deacons and 13 priests ; Bishop of Down and Connor, 7 deacons and 2 priests; Bishop of Armagh, 3 deacons and 4 priests. In all 158. PRIMARY VISITATION OF THE. ARCHBISHOP OF CAN TERBURY.—The charge of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury was delivered on Thursday in the Cathedral, Canterbury. There was a large attendance of the laity. Dr. Spry preached the sermon, the text being from 2d Corinthians, 2d chapter, 17th verse. His Grace adverted in terms of warm eulogy to the liberality, virtue, and wis dom of his predecessor, and expressed his anxiety to act in the same spirit, and acquire the same confidence. lie referred to various subjects connected with the church, which had during the last year engaged the attention of the clergy. He wished that the views of the Committee of Council on Education, and of many faithful friends, had been more in accord ; but it depended on the clergy themselves how far they should have a share in the go vernment of the schools. With respect to the interpreta tion given to the service of infant baptism, he prayed that the spirit of a sound mind might be granted to all con cerned in the determination of a matter so grave, and that differences on the subject might not be permitted to dis turb the unity of the brethren, or dissolve the bonds of concord and peace. Against the proposed alteration in the law of marriage the clergy could only protest. Leav ing these topics, the most rev. prelate proceeded to dilate at great length on the duties of the clergy, as stewards of the mysteries of Christ, reminding them that the doc trine of the atonement was to he preached in plainness and simplicity. He touched on the advantages of extem poraneous exposition. Originally that which was now called a sermon more resembled a conversation or discus cussion upon the use of the Scriptures ; and an essay, however good, was far surpassed by that mode in its power of appealing to the feelings , and inducing those who lis tened to alter their hearts Altd conversations. Some sup posed that this depended upon the extemporary delivery, but that had been disproved by many preachers, whose discourses were uniformly written, and indeed it was rare for this country to produce talent, wisdom, and command of language, sufficient to render it safe for any person of the ordinary capacity to preach extemporaneously. The advantage cf extemporary preaching was, that it was not necessary to so great a degree to observe precision in the exact scructure of the language; whereas a written dis course subjected the preacher to the necessity of arrang ing sentences and dividing his discourse into many clauses, the effect of which was that the beginning was frequently forgotten before the end was attained. The preacher, in short, found the necessity of beirg understood, and if this object was kept in view it might as easily be attained by committing one's thoughts to paper as by preaching ex temporaneously from the text. Much advantage arose from varying the mode of preaching. and exchanging the regular sermon for the simple exposition. COURT AND FASHION. HER MAJESTY'S DEPARTURE FROM SCOTLAND.—Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the members of the Royal Family, left their Highland residence at Balmoral, about eight o'clock on Thursday morning, and proceeded to the station of the Scottish Midland Junction Railway at Cupar-Angus, where a special train was in readiness for their use. The journey was accomplished by posting, and her Majesty reached Cupar-Angus at fifteen minutes past three o'clock. About ten minutes were spent in affixing the carriages and luggage trucks (seven in number), and the royal party then proceeded on their way, passing through Perth and Sterling, and reaching the Greenhill station (the point of junction between the Scottish Central uis Eoitiburgl, ana Criasgow lines), about la minutes past five o'clock.—Arrival of her Majesty in Edinburgh : The authorities at Edinburgh, in their desire to respect the wishes of her Majesty, dispensed with all formal pre parations. Precisely at five minutes to six o'clock the train entered the station at Waverly Bridge, amidst the enthusiastic cheering of the spectators. Colonel Anson, Equerry to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, immedi ately afterwards alighted from a carriage in the royal train, and introduced the Lord Provost to her Majesty and her illustrious Consort, when the Queen said to his Lordship—" I am very glad to see you in the city of Edinburgh ;" to which the Lord Provost replied, that, in the name of the inhabitants, he had to offer her Majesty their most hearty welcome to her city of Edinburgh. He was sorry that her Majesty's stay would be so short ; but, again, in the name of the citizens of Edinburgh, he heartily wished her Majesty a most prosperous journey. His Royal Highness Prince Albert also said—" We are sorry that our stay is so short in your beautiful city." The change of engines having been effected, which occa sioned a delay of only a few minutes, the saloon train im mediately proceeded on its journey amidst the most enthusiastic applause. Berwick-on-Tweed was reached at eight o'clock in the evening; and subsequently, en route. the line of railway was illuminated by bonfires continuously established. At the Little Mill station her Majesty alighted, and thence drove to Earl Grey's, at Howick, where she diked in her travelling costume. Her Majesty then retired ; but early on Friday morning promenaded in the grounds with Prince Albert and planted an oak sapling. From Howick her Majesty departed at eleven o'clock ; and arrived at Newcastle, where arrangements for her re ception had been made on a scale of grandeur, at twenty minutes past two o'clock, welcomed by fully 60,000 people. Thence her Majesty proceeded rapidly to Darlington, York, where the royal party were joined by the Archbish op in the refreshment-room of the station, Normanton, and Derby, arriving at the latter place by six o'clock. Her Majesty remained for the night at the Midland Rail way Hotel, whither she was driven in the sheriff's car riage. Her Majesty left Derby again at eight o'clock on the morning of Saturday, arriving at Birmingham at ten o'clock. Thence the royal train proceeded to Gloucester, (where a general holyday was established in honour of the visit,) and, subsequently, at the rate of forty miles an hour, to Swindon, where her Majesty remained three quarters of an hour for rest and refreshment. The deafen ing cheers and the waving of handkerchiefs, with the play ing of the National Anthem, which greeted her arrival, equally characterised her departure. She stood up in the carriage and bowed to her subjects in token of her appre ciation of their loyalty. In a minute or so the royal train was out of sight, and the vast assemblage gradually dis persed, highly gratified with the scene which they had just witnessed. The royal travellers reached Basingstoke at a quarter past three o'clock, and Gosport at a quarter-past four, whence they immediately embarked in the Fairy, landing at East Cowes, and reaching Osborne-house before six o'clock. Throughout the route great excitement prevailed ; and repeatedly her Majesty was obliged to receive addresses from corporations, civic authorities, &c., all of which were rapidly disposed of in the hasty progress of the royal family . SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. On Tuesday. the Grand Duke Michael Stakes of 50 sovs. each, for three-year-old colts, were won by Sir J. Hawley's Vatican, (Templeman,) beating Lord Ciifden ' s Honey comb, (Robinson.) Betting : 4 to 1 on Vatican, who made all the running, and won easily by a length. Run in 2 minutes 22 seconds. CHESTER AUTUMN MEETING. On Thursday, the Mostyn Stakes were won by The Monk, by a length, beating Mr. Rickaby's f by Touch stone.—The Saracen's Head Handicap was won by Cast off, by two lengths, beating Sarah, Cocktail, and three others.—The Free Handicap Stakes were won by Lady Hilda, by a length, beating Master Downes, Chorister, Cingari, and six others.—The Handicap Sweepstakes were won by Candlewick, by a neck, beating Cadger, French Susy, and five others.—The Selling Stakes were won by Portia, in three heats, beating Lanercosta and seven others. On Friday, the Tradesmen's Welter Cup was won by Defaulter, beating Swiss Boy and Rochester.—The Third Year of the Chester Leviathan Stakes was won by Thrin garth, beating Didsbury.—The Grand Stand Stakes were won by Joc-o'-Sot, beating Ballinafad, The Alp, and seven others.—The Scramble Stakes were won by Mr. Mostyn's b f by Colwick. beating Mistress Jean. Owing to the prevalence of cholera, Breewood and Walsall races are postponed sine die. A cricket match has been played in Wiltshire, between the Ringwood married and single females at Picket Post. The married ladies were dressed in white, wearing Jenny Lind hats ; the single displayed pink sashes, and the mar ried blue. The manner in which many of them bandied the bat and ball proved that they had not been remiss in paactice. The single were declared victorious. Lord Eglinton has, this year, in stakes alone, won up wards of sixteen thousand sovereigns, with the prospect of further pickings, the Dutchman being engaged in the second October meeting at Newmarket, in a match of one thousand sovereigns, half forfeit, with Honeycomb, giving him three pounds, and in the Belvoir Stakes of two hun dred each, p.p., five or six subscribers, in the Houghton meeting, both certainties. He is also in the great three hundred sovereign stakes at Goodwood next year. POLITICAL MISCELLANY. In West Surrey, the show of hands was in favour of Mr. Evelyn. At the close of the poll, on Tuesday. the numbers were, Evelyn, 1,142; Edgell, 990 ; upon which the latter resigned. Mr. Evelyn declared on the hustings that he should abstain from voting on the Jew question, simply on the ground of the position adopted by the Ministry with regard to the House of Lords on that sub ject; his opinion on the merits being in favour of the bill. A HIT AT THE PEACE ADVOCATES. Whoever has heard any of the great guns at Exeter-hall firing away in glorification of peace might have imagined at first that it was a feu-de-joie in honour of war. The attitude and voice of Mr. Bright, for example, are those of a barge man challenging a prize-fighter, or a navvy defying a po liceman. He sings of peace as gently as a lion might roar of love. And it is curious that the most warlike adjura tions and denunciations always " tell" the most with a peace audience.—Times. _ _ RELIGIOUS CHARACTER OF THE MINISTRY. Lord John Russell is not a mere formal church-goer, but has the reputation of being somewhat particular in his notions, and select in his ideas of preachers and preaching. Stories are even told of his spending hours, with the Bible in his hand, beside his servants' sick-beds. Sir George Grey has ever been a professedly religious man, married to the daughter of one of the best of modern bishops, and him self formerly a constant hearer of the celebrated William Howells, a Welsh clergyman, of high talent, who had an episcopal chapel in Long-acre. Lord Grey is also, we believe, peculiar in his taste for preaching, attending a chapel near Belgrave-square. Lord Carlisle is well known at Exeter-hall, where he ofte❑ takes the chair at Bible and other Missionary meetings. Who, then, could anticipate, from such men as these, a course like that which the nation has latterly been taking, and which pro mises to engulph us in the whirlpool of avowed infidelity ! —Herald. MR. COBDEN'S NEW AGITATION.—This gentleman has just been stirred up by a prospectus of a new Austrian loan, He wishes to know—or says so—from Mr. Edmund Fry, of London, whether th.-re is not a Jew in London who will not be eager to attend a meeting to " repudiate all connexion with the projected loan, and to denounce the authors of those atrocities against his co-religionists at Buda-Pestli—atrocities in which Hay nau has surpassed everything that has occurred since the persecution of the middle ages." To this sapient epistle a Mr. M. Henry replies, `• I beg to inform that gentleman k Mr. Cobden) that the whole of it has already been taken without the assistance of any English capitalists, and that the loan is already at 21 per cent. premium. I have but just returned from the Continent, and flatter myself that I have been enabled to gain information that could not he accessible to the hon. representative for Yorkshire; and if English ca pitalists require advice what to do with their loose cash, they had better apply to Mr. Cobden, and he may recom mend them to invest in some cotton-spinning speculation." THE CHOLERA.-MAN'S DUTY TN CONSE QUENCE OF THE VISITATION. (From the Times.) Should there not he some public and universal recogni tion of the Might which has stood between the living and the dead—of the Mercy which has spared us the consum mation of a dreadful chastisement ? We know that there are men who refuse to acknowledge the hand of God in any great dispensation of His providence, —to whom all the vicissitudes of the material world are hut the casual results of fortuitous combinations, or the unevitable operations of undetected laws. Fortunately, the majority of mankind have not concurred in ousting the Deity from all concern in the world which He has made. Most men still feel sensible that there is one Omniscient and All- Powerful who directs and determines the issues of life and death to men and nations. It is useless to talk of second ary causes. Secondary causes are but the instruments which the Deity chooses to employ. Sickness, famine, and death, are warnings by which He reminds mankind of their weaknesses, their helplessness, and their mortality. Every man feels this in his own family, person, and cir cumstances. The sickness that hurries a favourite child or an affectionate wife to an early grave is a humbling but effective example of Divine power and human weakness. The palsy that prostrates the strong man in the full flush of health and vigour —the distress and poverty which stun the rich man in the height of his prosperity—these are but secondary, often tertiary causes ; they may often be traced step by step through devious but connected con sequences; but each man, in his own heart, feels them to be the indications of a supreme will and the tokens of su preme power. And when these befall individuals, the prayer is put up in an earnest confidence that Ile who has inflicted the wound—though He may not heal it—will yet temper the disease with a blessing. Doubtless the cholera, like any other phenomenon, either of the corporeal or the mundane system, follows certain definite and ascertainable laws. So does typhus fever, so do hurricanes, so do waterspouts, so do thunder storms, so do earthquakes. But the laws of which we speak are but a convenient phrase to express the will of the great Lawgiver. He who made can abate, modify, suspend, or warp them. He who can bid a plague rise in the East may direct its sinuous course so as to baffle the observations of the most sagacious, and the deductions of the most intelligent. After all, when we have ascertained the law. we are nearly as helpless as we were before. We may foresee a certain number of cases and mitigate a cer +.;., nrirrtbor, but the highoct clogroo of knowledge which we attain is, that we know but little about them ; and our utmost skill is baffled by contingencies which defy its explanation. One fact ever appears prominent above the rest—that we are in the hands of a higher Power. And this is a merciful dispensation. Without such, men would stagnate into a moral apathy, and, forgetting the existence of a God, would forget the duties which he has enjoined. It is by these visitations that men are reminded that they are weak. But they are also reminded that they are accountable. There never yet was a great na tional affliction without some previous neglect of public or private duties. The very plague which has visited us was made more violent by the omission of kindly acts and the neglect of beneficent laws. The loss of life and the loss of money which we are suffering are penalties by which Almighty Wisdom punishes the delinquencies of Governments and States. Had we observed the duties of charity and justice more than we have, we should have suffered less than we have. Had we been more devout, we should have been more just and more charitable. Those who have suffered and those who have escaped the pestilence of this year will need no exhortations to acts of individual devotion and thanksgiving. But the suffering assumed the form of a national suffering ; the de liverance has been a national deliverance. The thanks giving should be national also. The form and mode of it we do not undertake to prescribe. But we are con fident that the people of this land will feel it their duty to utter a solemn and public expression of their thanks to Him who has heard their prayer in due season ; and that, moreover, they will not forget that the mere ex pression of thanks, solemnised by whatever ceremonial it may be, will, in a season like this, be but a poor and unworthy homage at the throne of Infinite Justice. There is a sacrifice which should be performed. The graves of our cities have been crowded with the victims of greedy speculation, careless legislation, and frigid sel fishness. They who have perished have for the most part perished in fetid alleys, noisome and pestiferous houses, vile and infectious cellars, the structures or properties which were owned by selfish covetousness, and erected by selfish indifference. Let us take warning from our past stupidity or neglect, and not mock a religious solem nity by persisting in cruelty and apathy. While we allow the houses of the poor to be without air, light, or water, while we taint the breath of the living with the exhala tions of the dead, and while we squabble in the midst of a destroying pest about the rights of vestries and com missions, our fast will be but an impious hypocrisy, and our prayers a hideous mummery. "Is it such a fast that I have chosen ? A day for a man to afflict his soul ? To bow down his head as a bul rush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him ? Wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the Lord ? Is not this the fast that I have chosen ?—To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy bur dens, and to let the oppressed go free ; and that ye break every yoke ? " MADAME SONTAG. The following notice of this very fascinating and accom .plished songstress occurs in one of a series of pleasant letters from the Baltic, penned by a lady, and published by Murray in 184 E :—" I arrived at Fall at a fortunate time. The last Pyroskaff from Reval had just landed a little select colony of high life from St. Petersburgh. There were princes with historical names, ministers with political names. There was Count , the Richard of Russia, the far-famed beauty, Madame K , and Countess Rossi, charming and attractive as in the first burst of her popularity, accompanied by her stately hus band. She is one of the fairest objects both in mind and person which our party possesses, whose never clouded name is such favourite property with the public as to jus tify me in naming her particularly. The advantages which her peculiar experience and knowledge of society have afforded her, added to the happiest naturel that ever fell to human portion , render h er exqu i s it e vo i ce an d talent, both still in undiminished perfection, by no means her chief attraction in society. Madame Rossi could afford to lose her voice to-morrow, and would be equally sought. True to her nature she has combined all the Liebenswiirdigkeit of a German with the witchery of every other land. Madame Rossi's biography is one of great interest and instruction, and it is to be hoped will one day appear before the public. It is not generally known that she was ennobled by the King of Prussia, under the title of Mademoiselle de;Launstein, and (since absolute will, it seems, can bestow the past as well as the present and fu ture) with seven Ahnherrn, or forefathers ; or eight,' said the countess, laughing, ' but I can't quite remember,' and though never disowning the popular name of Sontag, yet in respect for the donor, her visiting cards when she appears in Prussia are always printed Me de Launstein. We were greatly privileged in the enjoyment of her rich and flexible notes in our private circle, and under her auspices an amateur concert was now proposed, for the benefit of the poor in Reval. * * * * Madame Rossi was the conscience as well as the organ of all the careless trebles. No half finished slurred over rehearsals were permitted. She stepped with courtesy and good temper from one tuneless group to another, bearing the right note aloft till all clung securely to it, and was never weary of helping and hearing. * * * * We were all united in the great ball room at the governor's castle, in Reval, which was partially illuminated for the occasion, and hav ing wound up our last noisy' Firmament,' we all retreated to distant parts of the Salle, leaving the Countess to re hearse the celebrated scena from the Freischutz, with the instrumental parts. She was seated in the midst, and completely hidden by the figures and desks around her. And, now arose a strain of melody and expression which thrill every nerve to recall.
