Six,—Your Pills and Ointment have stood the highest on our sale list of l'roprietary Medicines for some years. A customer, to whom I can refer for any inquiries, desires me to let you know the particulars of her case. She had been troubled for years with a disordered liver and bad digestion. On the last occasion, however, the virulence of the attack was so alarming, and the inflammation set in so severely, that doubts were en tertainer! of her not being able to hear up under it ; fortunately ahe was induced to try your Pills, and she informs me that after the first, and each succeedins dose, she had great relief. She continued to take them, and although she used only three Boxes, she is now in the enjoyment of perfect health. I could have sent you many more cases, bat the above, from the sere rity of the attack, and the speedy cure. I think, speaks much in favour of your astonishine Pills. (Signed) R. W. lit It K US.

Scott's fether was a glover in Elein, and was latterly an inmate of the Bied-house, and as the son was never able to do any thing for his own support, he was transferred to the poor's roll on his father's death. The size of his head was extra ordinary. In height he stood, or rather measured (for he never could walk from his birth), 3 feet 11 inches, while the length of his head and face was 111 inches, being about one-fourth part of his entire length. The girth of the head was 271 inches. Over the crown of the head, from ear to ear, it measured 15 inches ; from the occipital spine to the insertion of nose, 20 inches ; the length of face, from insertion of nose to extremity of chin, was 41- inches. —Elgin Courier. THE WELSTI EISTEDDFOD FOR 1852.—1 t has now been definitely arranged that the next Welsh Congress of Literature shall be held at Dolgelley, the principal town of Merionethshire, in the autumn of the ensuing year. A. thorough revival of this ancient and peculiarly Welsh institution has now taken place, and the ensuing will be the fourth which bas been consecutively bold in as many years. In order to give the various literary competitors as much time as nossible, the subjects of the various prizes, in Welsh and English, have been decided upon. The chair subject is " The Crucifixion," for which a gold medal and a purse of £2O will be awarded. A prize of £5 and a silver medal, with a portrait of the Prince of Wales, will be given for the best stanzas in honour of his royal highness, to be composed according to the rules of the Welsh Englyn.

DE ROOS' COMPOUND RENAL PILLS.— j_J It_is not generally known that the above, and almost every other ,n of the system, are more or less d, pendent on im purity of t blood, arising from imprudence or other- sist of a com !dilation of medicines, which act more particularly upon the stomach, blood vessels, and kidneys, as their name Renal (or the kidneys) indicates, and through them establish the regular action of the organs, thus striking at once at the root of the complaint, and purifying the system. It is a well-known fact that diseases of the skin, &c., niay be temporarily relieved, and apparently cured..by outward and violent applications, &c., but the virus remains in the system ' to break ou• again in a more dreadful form at ano th er time. An extensive practice in the above diseases warrants the Proprietor in assert h,g that in no case'where this Medicine is perseveringly taken can it possiblpfail, be . ng compounded on scienti6 ible principlir; the result of immense ticable ex “The Lady of a Liverp9ol merchant, after being under the Care of one of the first pinsicians in that town for many months with pains in the baclyanit elsewhere, but to no purpose, was induced to try a man box of De Roos' Compound Renal Pilic, frdm which she delved more benefit than from all the medi cines ever prescribed for her by her medical attendant. The truth of the above will be verified by Mr. JONES, 5. Paradise street, Liverpool, to whom the lady's Physician candidly made the avowal.” John Andrews, Ahersychan, Pontypool.—" After taking a box of your Pills, I am so much better that I am induced to send for another."

CAUTION.=-A self-styled ten shilling Doctor (unblushing impudence being his only qualification) is now advertising tin der a different name, a highly injurious imitation of these Pills, and a useless abbreviated copy of Dr. De Roos' celebrated Medical Adviser, slightly changing its title: sufferers will therefore do well to see that the stamp round each box is a bona fide government stamp, not a base counterpart, and to guard against the truthless statements of this individual, which are published only for the basest purposes of deception on invalids and fraud on the proprietor. TO PREVENT' FRAUD on the public by imitations of the above valuable medicine, her Majesty's Honourable Commis sioners of Stamps have directed the name of the proprietor, in 'white letters on a red ground, to be engraved on the govern ment stamp round each box, without which none are genuine, -and to imitate which too closely is felony and transportation.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1851. FOREIGN NEWS. FRANCE. The important proposition of the questors, that the Na tional Assembly should have its army as well as the exe cutive, came before that chamber for discussion on Mon day, and ended in its total defeat, the government being in a majority of 408 against 300. This may be considered a great triumph for the President of the Republic and his ministers, as the object of questors, and those who voted in the minority, was to transfer the prerogative of the executive to the legislative assembly. General Cavaignac and moderate Republicans voted with the Legitimists and Orleanists in support of the Thiers-Changarnier-Baze proposition, from a fear of the anti-republican designs of Louis Napoleon ; while the ultra Republicans voted with the government. thinking that the republic would be in greater danger from the supremacy of the monarchical factions. The President of the Republic, on proceeding to the Elysee on Tuesday from the Champ de Mars, was loudly cheered by the people, with repeated cries of " Viva Na poleon l" " Vive le President !" "Vive le Suffrage Universel !" The division in the assembly on Wednesday, on the question of reducing the three years' domicile, requisite for the exercise of the franchise, to one year, gave a result of 43 in favour of three years,—the numbers being 258 for the amendment, and 301 against it. On Thursday, the proposition of a committee. that a residence of two years should entitle citizens to the exercise of the electoral franchise, was adopted by 344 votes to 218. The other paragraphs, conferring the electoral right on officials and clergymen, and on persons serving in the army or navy who have been drawn for the conscription in the commune, no matter what may have been the length of their resi , dence, were likewise adopted. It is stated, on good authority, that when, during the discussion on the proposition of the questors, some of the members talked of impeaching the Minister of War for re moving the decree of the constituent assembly from the differ-nt barracks where it had been posted up, several of the generals met, unknown to the minister, and resolved to protect him from any attempt at arrest; so that in all probability, if the impeachment had been proposed and carried, there would have been a military pronunciamento. Louis Napoleon continues to review the troops daily. His salons are numerously attended. The Minister of War has adopted all necessary precautions for the maintenance of order, and has within the last two days brought a great deal more artillery into Paris. M. Baze, with a view to show his anxiety for the security of the assembly, has ordered the reparters for the public press to produce their cards, in order to prevent the entrance of dangerous characters. The municipal electoral law was read a second time on Saturday evening by 441 to 229. The committee which has been chosen to report upon the bill of pains and penal ties affecting the President of the Republic and his Minis ters, are hostile to Louis Napoleon by 14 to 1. Tilt , ministerial crisis in Belgium has been definitively settled, by the adoption, on the part of the Senate, of the Successions Bill. GERMANY, Prince George Frederick, the son of King Ernest, has assumed the title of George I. King of Hanover. It is believed that he will call to his councils the former able and popular minister Struve, for whom he is said to have entertained a very high regard. VlENNA.—Thinzs daily occur here which must be seen to be believed. Under the plea that the deterioration of the currency and the high price of corn are mainly attri butable to the machinations of the Jews, government is " running a muck" against that unfortunate race. Hebrews who are not natives of Vienna receive notice to return to their native places within twenty-four hours, without any reason for such a stringent measure being assigned, and even women who have passed half their lives here have been dismissed. Two or three days since, some Jewish traders, who had come from Moravia to make their purchases, were obliged to return without being allowed to accomplish their object. SPAIN It was reported that the sitting:, of the Cortes would be suspended on account of the approaching delivery of the Qneen. The Cabinet, it was said, would avail itself of that circumstance to demand the authorization to levy the taxes, atter the Ist of January, 1852, according to the provisions of the budget approved of by the committee. Several thousand stand of arms were being embarked at Cadiz for the island of Cuba. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA The Royal mail steam-ship Niagara, Captain Stone, arrived in the Mersey at 5 a.m. ' on Tuesday last. She left New York at noon of the sth instant. On the 7th, at 3 p.m., in lat. 41.50, long. 63.9, passed the United States steam-ship Baltic, hence for New York. The Niagara brought 33 passengers and £195,847 in specie. The steamship Cherokee, from Chagres, arrived in New York on the 31st ult., with seventeen days later intelli i.ence from California, Oregon, the whaling fleet, and the Sandwich Islands, bringing also an immense list of pas sengers, and upwards of two millions of gold dust. The advices by this arrival, relative to mining operations, are of the most favourable character. Several of the quartz mining companies have met with extraordinary success in their operations, and the yield is not only likely to be steady and uniform, but unusually large. The most conspicuous feature of her news is the bloody battle between the American and native boatmen on the Cha gres river, arising out of an arrogant attempt on the part of the foreign boatmen to prevent the natives from carry ing passengers to and from the steamers in the harbour. because they sometimes transported them at a less price than the tariff fixed by the foreign boat club. Several persons were killed and wounded on both sides, and it is said that the fatal occurrence might easily have been prevented by the American consul had he sought to do so. A party, consisting of some fourteen or fifteen gentlemen and four ladies, who were waiting for the mails and trea sure to arrive for the Cherokee, were brought away safely from the scene of conflict, under the protection of the English fl►g, by Capt. Symonds, of the Medway. By the arrival of the steamer Columbia at St. Francisco on Oct. 1, we have news from Oregon to the 23d Septem ber. She has 43 passengers, and brings down £24,000 in treasure to Todd and Co., and 4120,000 to order. Se veral murderous outrages had been committed by the indians. It has become impossible to travel through the country except in large parties and well armed, as the savages invariably murder every isolated indiuidual. A general uncertainty and stagnation of trade and business are fast following this unfortunate position i of affairs. Late intelligence from the mines reports the discovery of rich quartz diggings between Shasta and Scott's river. Miners were crowding there in great numbers. A party had gone to Sacramento for the pur pose of procuring machines to break and grind the rock. The yield is said to be greater than that of the richest quartz mines of California. The city of San Francisco is rapidly spreading, and now presents that massive appearance which always distin guishes a city from a village. Many large and elegant brick and stone buildings have been erected since the fires of May and June. The burnt districts may be said to have been built up again. Trade is reviving, and the prospects are encouraging. It is to be hoped that we may escape the ravage of fire hereafter. The advices from Mexico are as gloomy as ever. Ac counts from the seat of war state that the revolution was still progressing. Advices from Matamoras state that an attack was made on that city on the 21st, and that on the 23d ult. the revolutionary party had gained possession of the entire western portion of the city, and were within four squares of the Plaza. The government troops had met with a loss of one hundred and fifty in killed and wounded, but they still held out against the invaders, with eight pieces of artillery. On the 23d ult. the city was set on fire, and the custom house, with all its con tents, together with many other buildings, was destroyed. With respect to affairs in Canada, the New York Herald says :—" After a struggle of some ten or fifteen years, what is termed a responsible government has been esta blished in Canada, and also in Nova Scotia, which implies that the advisers of the Governor shall conduct the go. vernment of the province in such a manner as to command the support of the majority in the Assembly, and who must retire when they can no longer command such a majority. It appears that the new cabinet is to consist of Mr. 1 - lincks, as Inspector-General; Mr. J. Morris, late Postmaster-General; Dr. Rolph, President of the Coun cil ; Mr. Cameron, Postmaster-General ; Mr. Morin, Provincial Secretary ; Mr. Tache, Receiver-General, and Messrs, _Richards and Drummond, the Attorneys- General." The United States mail steam-ship Herrmann, Wilson, commander, arrived off Cowes, on Tuesday, at 9 a.m., and, after having landed the English and French mails and passengers, proceeded on her voyage to Bremen. The Herrmann brings 25 passengers, 11 of whom are for England ; specie, value 6000 dollars, for England, and 63,590 dollars for Havre. _ _ _ The United States mail steam-ship Pacific, Nye, com mander, which left New York on the Bth instant, arrived in the Mersey at 5 40, p.m., on Wednesday, with the usual mails, 45 passengers, and 850,000 dollars in specie on freight. The screw steam-ship City of Glasgow, Wylie, com mander, which sailed from Philadelphia on the 6th inst., arrived in the Mersey, on Sunday, at 9 a.m., after a run of aboutl6 days. She brought 63 passengers and a large cargo ARRIVAL. OF THE EUROF The Royal Mail steam-ship Europa, Captain Lang, ar rived here on Saturday evening, bringing with her letters and papers from New York to the llih instant ; from Bos ton to the 12th ; and telegraphic accounts from New York, via Halifax, to the 13th. The Europa sailed from Boston at 12 3, p.m., on the 12th instant, and saluted the Rock Lighthouse at 10 11, p.m., after a fine run of ten days three hours and thirty-six minutes, mean steaming time. She brought with her twenty-six passengers and 180,000 dollars in specie on freight. The Royal Mail steam-ship Canada, Harrison, com mander, which sailed from this port on the 2Sth ult., ar rived at New York on the 9th instant, after a run of 11 days 19 hours and 15 minutes mean time. The United States mail steam-ship Baltic, Comstock, commander, which sailed from this port on the 29th ult., arrived at New York on the oth instant, after a run of 10 days 23 hours and 15 minutes. The Royal Mail steam-ship Cam bria, Leitch, commander, with the mails of the Ist inst., arrived at Halifax on the 12th instant, and shortly after. wards left for Boston, and was passed midway by the Eu ropa. The United Srates steam-ship Marion arrived at New York from Charleston with 80,000 dollars in specie. The State and Federal elections appear to be progress, ing in favour of the democrats, who have gainad several trial:nobs over Ufa wleig party. The proposed settlement of the affair of the Cuban ex pedition between the Spanish and United States govern ment had " fallen through," owing to the demands made by Spain being derogatory to the character of an inde pendent nation. The Spanish proposal was that the Ame rican government should invite the consul who had left New Orleans at the time of the riots there, to return in a national vessel ; that the Spanish flag over him should be saluted by the American authorities; and the value of the property destroyed in the New Orleans riots be defrayed. In case of refusal, the Spanish minister at Washington had Ifeen instructed to demand his passports. There is nothing later from California, or any of the usual sources of intelligence by way of New York. The United States steam-ship Mississippi had arrived at New York with a portion of the Hungarian refugees.— Gardiner S. Howland, a well-known merchant, and prin cipal of the house of Howland and Aspinall, died suddenly of disease of the heart. The success of the Hudson River Railway is attributable in no small degree to the enter prise and exertions of Mr. Howland.—The ship Oxford, for many years a Livrpool packet, had been sold by auc tion at New York for 15,000 dollars. The important oper ations on the Hurl Gate Channel were progressing. Lieut. W. A. Bartlett, of the U. S. navy, had reported that he had made a thorough examination of Pot Rock, and found not less than eighteen-and-a-quarter feet of water on any part of the rock at low tide. Mr. Grinnell's subscription of two thousand dollars becomes due when this rock is re moved to the depth of 20 feet, and he has also promised a further sum of three thousand dollars when it is removed to the depth of 24 feet.—The Great Western Railway Co. of Canada West have decided to adopt the compound rail ( parented by Mr. J. F. Winslow, of Troy,) for their en tire line of 228 miles ; and the order for the iron had gone to England. Late advices from Havana are devoid of interest. From Canada we are without intelligence worthy of any notice. From Port au Prince we have dates to the 23rd of Oct. The Emperor had complied with the demand of foreign powers, and had concluded a truce for one year with the Dominicans, and is also to give one year's notice of the commencement of hostilities. This will tend greatly to enhance the prosperity of the island. Coffee was quoted at 35 dollars. Haytien currency, per 100 lbs., with the prospect of a large crop. LATEST BY TELEGRAPH. New York, November 13. The Cambria's news was not made public to-day until too late to show its effect on the markets. Stock market to-day dull and lower for all the fancies. No change worth reporting in corn, flour, or cotton since the Europa sailed. Exchange on England is very firm at 10k, with appearances of further exports of gold from this. Telegraphic dispatches from 'Washington state that the Spanish Minister is instructed to withdraw all the. Spanish Consuls unless his demands for public satisfaction be complied with. We cannot tell how much real truth there is in such dispatches. Great preparations are making in New York for the reception of Kossuth, who is expected on Wednesday next. The Washington correspondent of the Herald tele graphs that the Cuban business will be laid before Con gress in the President's Message. Mr. Webster, the same correspondent states, will soon leave the capital, and Mr. Crittenden will take his place. The Hon. Rufus Choate, of Boston, will fill the latter gentleman's place. The correspondent of the Courier is of the same opinion. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, NEW YORK, Nov. 11 MONEY MARRET.—There is no new feature observable in the money market. Although not abundant, there appears to be a plentiful supply for all the legitimate wants of trade. The apprehension of further shipments of specie to London has checked the upward movement in stocks, and has had a ten dency to restrict operations, but has in no other way exhibited any influence on the money market. Government securities are firm, and meet with ready sale when offered. State stocks are a:so in request. Foreign exchange is in fair demand for the steamer Europa, and rates were firm. London. 110 to 110 i; Paris, 5 15 to 5 13k; Amsterdam, 41 to 411; Hamburg. 361 to 361 ; Bremen, 79i to 79i. Domestic exchange has undergone some slight variation. As the crops are now coming forward freely, the course of exchange with this city and the interior is a matter of some importance. The latest dates from New Orleans represent the receipts of cotton and all other products of the soil to be very large, and coming forward much earlier, and in greater quantities than usual. The sudden alteration in•the course of exchange, caused by the heavy trans actions, hr. made it necessary to send forward a considerable amount of specie rather than to submit to the heavy discount on hills. Money was much easier at Philadelphia. Paper is be coming more zcarce, and it is difficult to find the right kind at IC per cent. COTTON.—The Courier and Inquirer, of the 11th instant, says "Since our last report, per Niagara, sth instant, we have had active demand for export to continental markets and home use, the sales amounting to 8500 bales. Prices have advanced during the same period fully ic. From New Orleans. our latest despatch, per telegraph of the Rth instant, quotes " mid dling" at 7i to 71, freight 7-16 d. to d. ; sterling, Bd. ; of re ceipts light. We are also advised that killing frost occurred on the night of the 6th instant. The Herald, of the 11th, re marks:—" Cotton continues inactive. The news from the other side is not calculated to give much impetus to shipments. Up to the 4th instant, the exportation of cotton from this port was 22,392 bales against 63,109 during thesame period last year. Here is a falling off of nearly two millions of dollars in this single article. Up to the latest dates, the shipments from all the ports of the country to foreign ports were 104,012 bales, against 160,803 during the same period of last year, showing a decrease of 56,851 hales. To the same dates this year, the stock on hand was 41,708 greater than last year, and the receipts at the Southern ports, this tear, hive been 40.599 bales greater than during the corresponding period last year. The fol owing statement from the New York Shipping List of the 12th Nov. was communicated by electric telegraph to Boston, and brought to Liverpool by the Royal Mail steam-ship Europa :- 1851. 1850. Increase. Decrease. 303,363 256,867 46,496 Receipts Exports to G. Britain 81,407 121,203 Exps. to foreign ports 128,578 178,116 St6ck, and onshipb'd 206.750 165,561 41,189 FREIGHTS .—Rates to English ports continued steady. The Liverpool packet of the 11th was full, at Is. for flour, 4d. to 4id. for grain, and 1-6 d. cotton. Further engagements of cotton were made at id. ; 10,000 bushels wheat were reported taken at 4d., in bulk, and some tobacco was taken, in kegs, at 2s. To Glasgow : 1000 barrels flour were engaged at Is. 6d. The Havre packet of the 16th was full with cotton at id, and ashes and bark at previous rates. INDIA. It is reported that the Punjab and Scinde, together with the north-western provinces west of Allahabad, are to be constituted a separate Presidency, under the title of the Presidency of Lahore, the remaining portion of the Agra Presidency being annexed to Bengal. Gholab Singh has taken advantage of the recent disturbances on his frontier, to enlarge his dominions at the expense of some of the adjacent petty chiefs. He is labouring under a disease which is usually incurable in India. In consequence of some revenue disturbances in the Eusofzye country, reinforcements were to proceed there early in October. A. serious riot has occurred at Bombay, arising out of a re ligious quarrel between the Parsees and the Mahomedans. At Madras the admission of a few Pariah scholars into the Government University, caused the Hindoo students to revolt. Some withdrew, others were expelled, and the majority submitted. BONIIIAY.—Money abundant, and rates unaltered. In Cotton Piece Goods a large amount of business has been done since last advices, but in consequence of large sup plies coming in no improvement has taken place in price. Cotton Karns further declined owing to large supplies and a desire to realise. Iron dull, and prices low. Ex changes unaltered, with tendency to advance. Freights : to London, £2 10s. dead weight ; Liverpool, £2 12s. Gd. per ton. CALCUTTA.—Export business dull since last advices, owing to the unsettled exchange and disarrangement among bazaar merchants dealing in piece e•ods. The approaching holidays, and desire of holders to realise, have caused in the latter case some concessions to be made in prices, without, however, establishing a general decline in leading staples. Imports are in the same deplorable state as last reported, and business is very nearly at a stand-still. Up country trade almost entirely suspended. Difficulties in the bazaar have increased, and a few more eminent native firms, with extensive dealings all over India have suspended payment. These failures will produce others, and the Englishman fears the worst is yet to come. Goods still keep pouring in, and further large consignments were announced. Reports of short grain crops are confirmed. Exchange on London keeps up, and best document bills are 2s. led. Freights slightly declined, with very little doing, and a further decline expected. CHINA HONG-KONG, SEPT. 29.—Business in imports and exports extensive, and an advance in cotton yarns. Woollens rather improved. Tea—a reduction in mid dling kinds of Congou. Exchange 4s. 84d. Freights : vessels loaded have obtained £3, but this rate was not ex pected to be maintained. SITANGHAE.—A large business done in imports, but no improvement in the prices. Exports much greater than last year. Exchange 4s. 91d. to 4s. 9d. AUSTRALIA The intelligence from the gold diggings continues to be of an exciting character. Sydney is being deserted. A new gold field is reported at Maitland. From the com mencement of the discovery it appears that as much as £70,000 has been exported. The Bathurst Free Press records the discovery of a block of quartz about a foot in diameter, weighing 751 be., out of which a lump of 601bs. of pure gold was taken. PROVINCIAL MAYORS.—The elections of the provin cial mayors show some curious statistics. At Daventry Air. T. Sanders was elected for the eighth time ; at Wigan Mr. Hckersley for the sixth time. The mayors of Leeds, Portsmouth, Richmond, and Rochester, had previously served each three times ; of Chichester, Poole, South ampton, Stockton, and South Shields, twice ; Arundel, Ipswich, Lincoln, and Retford, once; and at Bridgewater, Bolton, Congleton, Dartmouth, Exeter, Flint, Hartle pool, Kendal, Nottingham, Reading, Stratford-on-Avon, Tewkesbury, Tiverton, Weymouth, and Yarmouth, they were re-elected ; at the latter place, however, only by his worship first voting for himself simply as a member of the corporation, and then deciding the election by his casting vote. LIBILLINIG AN OFFICER.—The Court of Queen's Bench have sentenced Christopher Arthur Harris, the father of Lieut. Harris, of the 4th King's Own, to six months' imprisonment among the first-class misdemean ants, for libelling the Captain of his son's regiment, by posting him as " the most ineffable liar in existence," and' the only recreant dastardly coward in her Majesty's service." It appears that the son was, on his return from India, in a low desponding way, and attributed his uphappinese to the unkind and oppressive treatment of his Captain. The father, unable to obtain any redress to the son's supposed wrongs, adopted the posting as a re venge, for which the son had already been cashiered. The Court complimented Captain Hort on having taken leral gieens to Niudicat• his skarseter from the libel, IRELAND. On Tuesday the Duke of Cambridge, K.G., and Lord Carew were invested with the ribband and badge of the most illustrious Order of St. Patrick at Dublin Castle. Mr. Conolly, M.P., has given four acres of land to Mr. King, of Manchester, with right of water-power at one of the falls of Lough Erne, near Ballyshannon, for the erec tion of a flax-spinning manufactory. A few days since a fox entered the house of a man named Murphy, near Dangan, where an infar.t was asleep in a cradle, both parents being out at the time, and seiz ing the infant by the throat carried it away. An instant purs&t was made, and reynard was compelled to abandon his seizure, but when found the child was dead. The throat was shockingly mangled.—Clare paper. The Spanish Government have conceded a grant of 250 square miles of country on the banks of the Guadalquiver, in a.e provinces of Andalusia and Estremadure, contain ing 160,000 acres of land, of the richest quality, to be colonized by Irish sett - Jets, and exempt from taxation for twenty-five years. The district in question, depopulated by the expulsion of the Moors, has never since been fully occupied. DISLOYALTY.—The Limerick Chronicle says, " The Rev. J. Brehan presided at the annivetsary soiree of the Young Men's Society, which was held at the Old Ex change, on Sunday night, and numerously attended. The health of the Pope was toasted before that of her Majesty; and on ' The Queen' being given the majority of the company evinced their disloyalty by loud hisses, while not more than a dozen rose to drink the toast !" STEAM BETWEEN NEW YORK AND GALWAY.—The following is from the New York Shipping List, of the sth instant :—" The new steam-ship Bienville, we under stand, has been chartered, for one year, by the Irish Steam-ship Company, to ply between this port and Gal way, Ireland. She is of a superior model, and Is now at the Morgan Ironworks, receiving her machinery. She is expected to be ready for sea next month." BARBAROUS AND INHUMAN MURDER.—The Newry Telegraph says— The body of a man, who has been identi fied as John M'Donnell, a native of Buttevant, in the county of Cork, was discovered on Sunday morning lying in the canal between this town and Fatham. A large sledge hammer was lying by his side in the water; his feet were exposed above the surfam. There were two wounds inflicted on each side of his head, sufficient to cause death. He was a workman on the Belfast Junction Railway, and was reported by his fellow-labourers to be in possession of money saved. SERIOUSILLNESS OF LORD PLUNKETT.—This venerable nobleman, who has been so long and so highly distinguished as a lawyer, a senator, and a judge, now lies under a dangerous and, it is apprehended, a hopeless illnes, at his residence, Old ConnaPat. near Bray, about ten miles from Dublin, where,since.he Thad ceased to hold the Irish seals, on the appointment of Lord Campbell to the Irish chancellorship in 4831, he has lived in the privacy of the domestic circle. The noble and learned lord has nearly reached his 90th year. He was called to the Irish bar in Hilary• Term, 1787. ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION.—On Wednesday morn ing, as Mr. Richard Dvas, J.P., and agent to Sir Montague Chapman, was proceeding on his car from his residence at Lleathstown, near Athboy, in the county of Meath, to wards the fair at Carlanstown, he was fired at by an assassin from behind a hedge, and his horse mortally wounded. Five or six slugs entered the animal's side, and it died shortly afterwards. Mr. Dyes and his servant providen tially escaped On the examination of the place from whence the shot was fired, it was ascertained that the mis creant concerned in it must have lain in ambush for many hours, as the ground on which he was stretched was quite warm. EMIGRATION AND REFORMATION. A very remarkable testimony has just been borne to the reality of the work now going on in Ireland, in a paper which is entirely devoted to the Romish cause The Dublin Evenini/ Post is a journal most earnestly attached to the Romish Church, and which has for years past done the Established Church in 'lreland all the damage in its power. But, in a late number, it thus writes : • "There is no foreseeing where the emigration will stop, or when. Now, although great numbers of Protestants of every denomination, particularly of Presbyterians, emigrate—there is no doubt that the overwhelming majority are Roman Catho lics. This drain, therefore, will reduce the proportion of the Catholics in reference to the Protestants of the Establishment at any rate. That ratio has been already fearfully reduced by famine and pestilence, and it is diminishing by the still more rapid and continuous progress of emigration. This is not all, however. We learn from unquestionable Catholic authority, that the success of the proselytizers in almost every part of the country, and we are told in the metropolis, is beyond all that the worst misgivings could have dreamt of. There is not only no use in denying these statements, hut it would be an act of treachery t• the best interests of the Catholic Church to conceal them, or even to pass the matter over as a thing of no great moment. But there is no Catholic who does not regard the movement—if he be a sensible and a sincere one—:.nd not a brawler and a mountebank (we shall have something to say by and-by to one of these) with, we were going to say, dismay— hut we shall substitute for the word, indignation and shame. Well, then, would it not be advisable to trace back this awful defection to its remote causes ?" Now, we have no wish to strain these admissions be yond their just value ; but unquestionably they do prove, so far as testimony can do it, that the work going on in Ireland is genuine, and very extensive. This surely yields the highest encouragement. The admissions of an oppo nent must necessarily have more weight than the represen tations of many, perhaps, over-sanguine friends.—Record. ASCENDANCY OF THE PRESS, The Times, in lecturing a contemporary on the unwar rantableness of certain imputations levelled against itself, makes the following remarks on the subject of English journalism : There is nothing in which the social welfare of this country is more intimately concerned than in the charac ter and position of the press. Not only are political par ties dissolved, and political traditions obliterated, but even the " liberal professions" of former days are breaking up around us, and it is impossible to conjecture who in ten years' time may be barristers or soldiers, consuls or diplo mats, electors or representatives, statesmen or ministers. There is but one power on the increase in the country, and that is the power of public opinion. There is but one profession which will certainly be stronger in 1860 than in 1851, and that is the profession of a journalist. Every year a larger and larger portion of the population becomes agape for that peculiar knowledge which is practically power, and every year the distributors of that knowledge must grow both in influence and esteem. Already the journals of this country discuss public measures with a talent which is borrowed (and often but imperfectly) for for more solemn deliberations, and the duties of a Minister are considerably relieved by the luminous exposition which every question receives before it is formally submitted to legislative decision. The government of the British em pire is influenced in a most material degree by the metro politan press. This may or may not be an advantage; but it is certainly not meant for a boast, and it is most in contestably a fact. The press, by universal consent, has done much for the tranquillity and progress of the nation, and it will infallibly be summoned to do more. Whatever may be our differences, on most mighty questions we have been found as one. There were not two opinions expressed when a mortal earthquake shot from Paris to Vienna, and when a mob on Kennington-common tried to ape the destruction of a mob at theTuileries. There were not two opinions expressed when the good sense of the country had placed these misguided people at the mercy of the law. There will never, we trust, be two opinons when the cause of order, of civilization, of humanity, or of progress, is really at stake. It is no irresponsible power that we exercise. Our influence can never be operative for harm, since it results only from the harmony of our appeals with those instinctive sentiments of man's breast which always ultimately partake moreof reason than passion. We can only persuade by candid explanation, and convince by logical proof; and if ouropinions carry weight, it isnot because they are forcibly stated, but because they are plainly scpported by reasons which all, by education or instinct, are more or less competent to estimate. Our power is nothing but the power of truth. As we approach to it we are strong ; as we recede from it we are weak. No popular influence can permanently establish a fallacy, nor can any popular in fluence be long preserved by an organ of opinion in which fallacies are often mistaken for truths. In this country a newspaper must either be practically harmless of generally just, its power being an infallible index of its integrity. The opinions which please Englishmen for years together, must necessarily be founded on common sense and sound reason, nor could any organ of dishonest sentiments retain sufficient influence to give them material currency. Great, therefore, as is this power, it is neither irresponsible nor unlimited, though there is a moral certainty that it must become greater still. There is no doubt about the stone which as society advanceswill become the head of the cor ner, and exactly in proportion to the magnitude of these prospects should be the solicitude of those before whom they are displayed. HORRIBLE REVENGE. Adelaide Swerte has just created a terrible sensation in the quiet village of Cha mouni. Her lover, an apothecary, of the name of Carlh, had allowed her access to his drug closet. In consequence of some deep resentment, treacherously dissembled, how ever, the damsel having possessed herself of a quantity of fulminating cotton, introduced it into the lining of a neck cloth with a large fold falling over the breast, and pre sented it to Carlh on his going out shooting. She had remarked that, when in the enjoyment of his pipe, sparks had often fallen on his shirt-front. Not returning to the village, search was made in the mountains, where he was found with his neck and skull horribly shattered. DRAWING OF Tint FRENCH LOTTERY. — The drawing of the gold lottery, at Paris, took place on Monday, in the circus of the Champs Elys(les. The first-drawn number was that winning the grand prize of 400,000 f. (X 16,666). The person who won the prize was by some said to be one of the enginemen of the Northern Railroad ; by others, General Delarue was stated to be the happy man. The moment the winning number was ascertained within, it was affixed on a board, fastened to a lofty pole, which was immediately borne by two men about the Clfamps Ely vees, for the benefit of the public who had not found room within the circus. The prize of 200,000 f. (X 8,333), was gained by a journeyman hairdresser of the Rue Montaigne, near the circus, and close to the garden-walls of the Ely see. At the proclamation of the prize of 10,600 f. (X 416), a voice was heard from the multitude in the circus, cry ing out, "La voila, voila ! Graces a Dieu ! c'est moi, c'est moi ! j'ai gagne. Oh ! sees amis, quo ma mere va etre heureuse !" The person who thus expressed his joy was a young man of twenty, a chair-turner's apprentice, of the Faubourg St. Antoine. No. 8, a prize of 25,000 f. (X 1,041), was won by a serjeent of the Republican Guard, who wee et the very moment doing duty outside the circus. ECCLESIASTICAL PREFERMENTS AND APPOINTMENTS. 0 the Bates, Rev.

AN ENGLISH BISHOP IN AN AMERICAN CHURCH. The Philadelphian Banner of the Cross, of October 25, gives the following notice of an English bishop—the Bishop of Fredericton—officiating in an American (U. S.) church :—" We attended a most interesting service at the . church of St. James the Less, on Wednesday evening of last week. The bishop of this diocese and several of the clergy were present. After evening prayer, in which Bishop Potter, the Rev. Dr. Ducachet, and Messrs. Bon ner, Markoe, and Ogilby took part, the L or d Bi s hop et Fredericton preached. His sermon, which was delivered without notes, had reference in its subject to the approach ing Festival of St. Luke, and exhibited the character of this noble Evangelist in a strong and clear light. It wag" a discourse such as we might expe c t f rom one o f England's noble missionary bishops, wherein the results of high scholarship and theological attainments were shown, in making truth clear and plain to every mind, and setting it forth in its simple majesty and beauty. The fine conclu sion, in which the bishop so feelingly referred to the. bonds of communion between the Colo n i a l Ch urc h and our own, went to every heart, and the affectionate desires in our behalf found a cordial response. We wish some of our English brethren could have looked upon that service , • and beholding their bishop and ours kneeling side by side, in a church which might well carry their thoughts back to England, green and old,' they must have felt, as we felt, the force of the appropriate hymn which was sung— " Blest is the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love.' " LONDON POLICE AN OLD NOTION So'phia Allen, an antiquated female, dressed in a very grotesque style, and who stated her age t 9 be eighty, wa s charged at Southwark with creating a disturbance in the lobby of the Queen's Prison. _ At about four o'clock on the previous afternoon, the prisoner demanded to be admitted into th e p r i s on, 13 °' having previously misconducted herself on several occa sions, orders were given to the turnkey to refuse her ad mittance.

Prisoner.—l went to see my friend, Mr. Cooper, who Is unjustly incarcerated in the prison. Mr. Combe.—What business can an old woman like you want in prison ? Prisoner.—l am betrothed to Mr. Cooper, and we are to be married as soon as he gets out of his difficultte o, when he is entitled to £2,000 a year. (Laughter.) Mr. Combe.—Why is she refused admission ? Dennis.—She remained in the prison all night, contrail to the rules. Mr. Combe.—Who did she remain with ? Dennis.—Mr. Cooper. (Laughter.) Mr. Combe.—What, an old lady like her ? She is regular Bloomer, though. (Laughter.) Prisoner (indignantly.)—What ! me a Bloomer, yo ur worship ! Why, I hate the very. name; and as for 08 dress, it is very indecent. I like our old-fashioned dresse s i We have been courting thirty years, your worship ; bu t e hope we will soon be married. He is such a nice yo u man. (Laughter.) Mr. Combe.—Will you promise not to go near the prison again ? Prisoner.—That I will, your worship ; but it is hard i ° part two lovers. (Laughter.) Mr. Combe.—Now, you are discharged. Go ab °° your business. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. The electric light is at length to be brought into 1 0 : 3 ; tical operation.
