His Holiness Pope Pius the Ninth, in the exercise of the political functions of his double office of a political and spiritual potentate, has de- parted from the course of his predecessors, by the profession of a liberal and tolerant spirit. More astute than they, he sees that the corporeal thral dom of his subjects may be relaxed without weaken ing the spiritual thraldom in which they are held. Enervated Italy is sufficiently secured to his power by the priestly influences to which every _family among , ,st its population is suojected. He finds that a race of fiddlers and singers, lazzaroni and ban ditti, a bankrupt and a profligate aristocracy, and an ignorant and superstitious populace, may be allowed to waste their breath in vivas to the empty name of liberty, so long as they are fast held by the spiritual arm. Austria, however, fears both the contact and exam taken a step, pE ble, to protect her. self from the, ,n throughout Europe forthwith expends its sympathy in behalf of the wily power, the liberties of whose people are said to be invaded.

The utilitarian grounds upon which we are urged to accredit an ambassador at Rome are thus set forth, in a most jesuitical article, by the London Times of Wednesday last : n; and Libei termination t tained, and t " The truth is, that there is hardly a single Court o f Europe with which it is of greater importance that we should be in regular and legitimate communication than this. The Pontifical dominions promise to be the birth place of that enlightened and liberal policy which is to re trieve the long degradation of the Italian Peninsula, and which it is the interest of all philanthropists to promote. Nor is the influence of their sovereign confined to his own territories. As the spiritual head of a vast number of British subjects, he exercises a certain controlling power within these realms which it might indeed be thought very desirable to transfer to more amenable hands , but which it is the height of childishness to ignore. The influence, such as it is, actually exists, not in force sufficient, as ex perience has often proved, to be weighed for a moment against the suggestions of loyalty or patriotism, but with quite enough in reality to deserve attention. And yet, for the sake of a statute already condemned by sense and reason, we have been contented to forego all the benefit which might be derived from amicable relations with a sovereign whose voice on certain points would be respect fully listened to by some millions of British subjects." We request our readers' attention to the sentence which we have printed in italics. The Roman pontiff, our contemporary says, exercises, as the spiritual head of a vast number of British subjects, a certain controlling power within these realms. The constitution of England,however, is established upon the decisively expressed principle that "the Bishop of Rome has no jurisdiction temporal or spiritual within this realm of England." And yet we are recommended to sneak into favour with the temporal sovereign, that he may be tempted to exercise his spiritual influence for our advantage and peace: The Queen of England is to stand before the world in the character of an humble suppliant, at the feet of his holiness of Rome, for permission to wear her imperial diadem in quiet ness ! The power of a foreign monarch is to be in voked to her aid, whenever her Roman Catholic subjects are rebellious or unruly ; and the confes sion is thus virtually to be made, in contradiction to her own declaration on oath, that no foreign power shall exercise dominion or influence in the direction of the internal affairs of her kingdom. A humiliating ground, truly, upon which to defend the recognition of the popedom by the presence at Rome of an ambassador But, if the position in which we are urged to place the sovereign and the nation is humiliating, infinitely greater is the meanness by which we are to seek that position. We are not boldly and openly to declare that we are prepared to reverse the course which we have adopted towards Rome since the reformation ; we are not to approach the Pope in a straightforward attitude, with a straight forward meisage; but to wriggle and crawl into his presence, in an attitude of whining self abase ment, and low and selfish trickery—an attitude half way between that of conscious knavery and in tending treachery. The same journalist, in the same feeler which he has just put forth in behalf of her majesty's ministers, says : " It must have been long evident to attentive observers of Italian politics that the current of events in that country would not wait for the impending adjustment of our diplo matic relations with the court of Rome, but that circum stances would compel us to anticipate, in some fashion, the obvious decision of so important a question. The wisdom of our ancestors had bequeathed us a position of considerable embarrassment, and some little delicacy was , eyni.vite to reconcile the necessities of the case with the dMIiMMEI=.OI3.2:3.C.ZG way it is e There I ,_ _ COW, I period of its forts 1 liable to the accunn !tors der e graciously r ver which at pi sympathies o without ren 1 penalti lering th Mean as Whiggery i 'wives which our ingenious ent ght into anything so mean as tt member to a too-, iow thi introduction proscription of the law ; but our readers will probably be of opinion that by the arrangement we now announce, her Majesty's ministers have contrived rather happily to escape the dilemma in which the imperative demands of policy and the inevitable penalties of a prwmunire had conspired to place them. The Earl of Mintu, who is now on his road to Turin, will extend his tour to Rome, and, though not accredited by any official introduction, or in vested with any formal representative character, will be enabled by his presence at the Pontifical Court to facilitate the circuitous intercourse between two slates which have so sensibly persisted in blocking up the ordi nary c h anne l s o f a necessary communication. The positi on an d connex i ons of his lordship will be an i mmediate and sufficient guaran tee of his responsibility, and will conf er upon hi m muc h of that authority which it is as yet forbidden more directly to delegate, while his known qualifications for such a mission supply a complete assurance that the interests and honour of England will be safe in his hands.

Ignotus had urged, in opposition to the course proposed—first, that up to this hour the title of her gracious'Ma jesty is unacknowledged by the Prince-prelate of Rome ; secondly, that the sentences of excommuni cation levelled against the Queen of England and her adherents are unrevoked by him ; and thirdly, that, up to this hour, the bull in ccena domini, put D..,1 IT - pr dzsobe- e dience to the Roma n p on tiff; our Quen, clergy, nobles, and such portions of the people as are not Roman Catholics, and which sentence of anathema is to 7, Je renewed afresh ever% raundy Th To the first two of these positions the reply offered is of the most flimsy and equivocal descrip tion. The: Queen is said to have been virtually re cognised by the fact that the Pope of that day wrote a letter to George the Fourth, through Mr .Can ning , announcing his elevation to the throne ! With respect to the second matter—the excommunication of Queen Elizabeth—it is urged that Queen Victoria does not derive her title from Elizabeth ; and that ^h excommunication "was grounded on I- aer (Elizabeth's) alleged illegitimacy, by reason of the invalidity of the divorce of Queen Catherine, and consequently of the marriage of Anne Boleyn." The most material fact, however, urged by Ignotus, is the non-withdrawal of the anathema from our Queen and the Protestant people, for disobedience to the Roman Pontiff—an anathema as valid now as when first issued, levelled as much at Queen Victoria and her subjects as at Queen Elizabeth, because provision was expressly made for its inde finite renewal. What does the Jesuit correspondent of the Times say to this ? Why, first, he pleads that the anathema in question is only a "spiritual denunciation of spiritual penalties," (including for feiture of allegiance, &c.,) against what the Church of Rome holds to be a spiritual offence, i. e. sepa tion from its communion ;" and he asks "how can this Bull affect diplomatic, political, and purely temporal intercourse with the Court or Govern ment of Rome ?" The cancelling of this offensive Bull, or an acknowledgment that withdrawal from obedience to the Roman Pontiff is sanctioned by the third General Council, he says "seems to him somewhat unreasonable !" So much for the pro . 4.,,,,nrria us. in return for our acknowledging her, by accrediting an am bassador to her court. So much for the decency and sense of self-respect involved in fondling the temporal arm of a power, whose spiritual head thinks it unreasonable not to be permitted once a year publicly to consign to perdition our Sovereign and ourselves I But, it is asked,—" What actual evil or danger can result from the course proposed ?" And we are reminded of the fact, that although ostensibly our government is not represented at the Court of Rome, we still communicate with that court through some intermediate and indirect channel. The re ply is easy. We anticipate real tangible evil to arise from the encouragement which would be given by such a step, to the erroneous doctrines professed by the church, of "the vast number of British sub jects," of whom the Times speaks, as acknowledg ing the Pope of Rome as their spiritual head," and submitting to the exercise over them of " a certain controlling power." Will the Romish party in England, or in Ireland, be less disposed to seek the extermination of Protestantism in the empire, in consideration of the concession which we are urged to make to that spiritual head ? Certainly. not. We presume, too, that any diplomatic rela tions which we may establish with Rome must be mutual ; that if we have an ambassador at her court, we must be prepared to receive a legate at our own ; and we are yet to be informed of any such ecclesiastic being near to the throne of a pro= testant sovereign without disturbance, distracted councils, intrigues in high quarters, and jealousy and discontent amongst the people being the re sult. We fear, too, the presence amongst us of such an ecclesiastic, in an official capacity, as afford ing a pretext for further steps in the same direc tion ; and as providing the machinery, by which the present "controlling power" of the Pope in this - realm may be extended and rendered more stringent. It - would be well that British protestants should arouse themselves to resist this gross outrage upon their feelings—this forerunner of further "heavy blows and great discouragement" to the established religion and constitution of the realm. The plea upon which it is urged as desirable that we should have an ambassador at Rome, is most preposterously absurd and weak. What have we to do with the petty intrigues of the petty dukedoms and states of Italy ? Nothing. We may indeed stand by, in an armed attitude, if necessary, to repress any attempt by Austria to violate the settlement of Europe by the extension of her influence in Italy. We may carry our protest against such an attempt to the gates of Vienna itself. But for us to profess any care about what is ludicrously styled "the cause of liberty" in the Italian Peninsula, at the risk of bringing about a disturbance of the peace of Europe, would be to render ourselves the laughter of all Europe. Liberty in the very hot-bed of Popery ! Liberty with Italians, who only breathe and walk about at the will and caprice of the legion of priests and monks who swarm over and blacken the land, is likely to be as delusive a dream as ever the world was befooled withal ! The proceedings of the Birkenhead Commis sioners, which will be found reported in another column, ought to afford to the inhabitants of that town further conviction, were it required, of the hopelessness of any attempt to proceed to the com pletion of their dockworks, either with the resources at their own command, or by means of the arrange ment proposed to them by the Birkenhead and Lancashire Railway Company. The consideration of the proposition in question, for which the spe cial meeting of Thursday was called, is, it will be seen, adjourned for a fortnight ; and there seems little prospect that it will he adopted by the bond holders, for whose benefit (?) it is ostensibly urged ; or, if so adopted, th a t it can poss ibl y b e sanct i one d by the Legislature, Under these circumstances it becomes seriously the duty of the COmmissioners to make the best of the unfortunate position in which they are placed ; and, laying aside any feelings of mortified pride caused by the failure of their original plans, to en tertain the. proposition contained in the following ht==MMlr remarks and resolution of Mr. Bryans. That gen tleman, at the meeting on Thursday, stated that " He rose to move a motion similar to that at the last meeting, which had been withdrawn, relative to the disposition of the board to treat with any responsible party who might be willing and competent to undertake the fulfilment of their engagements, and to secure them a fair remuneration for what they had already expended on the works. He was glad to find that most of the news paper press of Liverpool took the same view of the matter which he did—viz., that they should transfer their powers to such a body as the Liverpool Corporation or the Dock Trust, who, if they undertook to carry out the designs of the company, would be fully able to proceed with them. This was the view taken by the Courier, the Standard, and the Times, and he thought that it was quite correct. He proposed a motion to the eff ec t stated.", With respect to the part which we have ourselves taken, as referred to by Mr. Bryans, in recommend ing the sale of the works to the Dock Trustees of Liverpool, we can assure the Commissioners and our Cheshire neighbours that it has been prompted only by. a sincere conviction that such a course is the - best for the interest of the people on both sides of the river. The Dock Trustees of Liverpool pos sess the means required to give an immediate sti mulus to the prosperity of Birkenhead—to save that locality, in fact, from a decline as rapid as it rise has been, and the owners of the vast mass of capital invested in what now appears to have been prompted by a too hasty estimate of their posi tion, from embarrassment and ruin. That body, moreover, as we have before stated, possess advan tages for the satisfactory working of the docks in the pool which can belong to no other body. As ancillary to the Dock Estate of Liverpool -- li e I tion of the port of Liverpool—the docks of as a por 'Birken- head might be made to subserve largely the inte rests and the progress of the corn tnerce of the Mersey, to aid the developement of the various railways converging into the locality, and likely still further to be extended; whilst the value of the mass of household property at present half tenanted and ruinously depreciated in value, could not fail to be increased by a measure which would in effect unite Birkenhead and Liverpool as one community, raipm-;nrr 11 - 10 rrnriontanif‘r rs •• . Such, we are convinced, is the opinion of nine tenths of the inhabitants of Birkenhead, who are not directly interested in land or other specula tions, the basis of which has been the full carrying out of the dock schemes, as originally projected and planned. It seems to be feared by these par ties, that the Dock Committee of Liverpool would convert the pool into a lumber dock merely; a place for ship building yards, coal and slate wharfs, &c., to be used by coasters bringing into our ri ver , an for outward-bound vessels taking on board, ballasting and rough freight, 'such vessels passing over to the Liverpool docks to complete their cargoes. The warehouse company doubtless fear the operation of such a conversion. We dare say that the Dock Committee will be disposed to use the inner part of the pool for the above purposes for which it is calculated to be most valuable to Liverpool. But how will the inhabitants of Bir kenhead and the owners of property there, the warehousing company perhaps excepted, be in jured ? Not at all. On the contrary, a measure which will concentrate in the pool a portion of the timber and iron and the bulk of the ship-building trades ; which will bring, in fact, to that side of the river, by rail and in coasting vessels, the bulk of the heavy trade of the port and the population employed by it, must be most beneficial, not only temporarily but permanently, by raising the value of land in the neighbourhood to the scale of the outskirt land on the Liverpool side, if not giving it the value of some of the most expensive and densely-built upon plots in the immediate vicinity of our own docks. It will be perceived that an amendment to Mr. Bryans' proposition was moved . by the chairman, Mr. Mallaby, to the effect that no overtures should be made by the Commissioners of Birkenhead to the Dock Trustees, or any other body, and that the resolution, on their part, of any proposal of sale was regarded by a majority of the commissioners as something approaching, in appearance, to " hawk ing" their property. At the same time, it was not concealed that they would readily treat with the Dock Trustees upon fair terms. The question, therefore, now resolves itself into one of punctilio. We beg to submit that the Dock Trustees of Li verpool can best of the two afford to waive such trifling where the interests of the commerce of the port, which are those of the inhabitants on both sides of the river, are so largely involved. There need be no concealment of the fact, now, that the Cheshire people have failed in the effort to convert their property to the uses for which it is so admi rably adapted by nature. Neither ought there to be any disposition on the part of any class of the people of Liverpool to twit them with such failure. A little concession on both sides would very soon enable us to understand each other, and to pull together amicably in a united effort to promote the commerce of both sides of the river, and the in terests of two communities which ought never to have been divided. KNOWSLEY.—The festivities at Knowsley, which com mence to-day. will be on a most splendid scale. The grand ball-room is magnificently fitted up. One of the greatest attractions will be the cricket match to-day, be tween the Knowsley Club, assisted by the gentlemen and relatives of the noble earl now assembled at the hall, and the gentlemen of the Edge-hill Cricket Club. _ NOT A VERY HEINOUS IMPUTATION UPON THE LIVER POOL DOCK COMMITTEE.—At the close of the discussion at the Birkenhead Commissioners' meeting, on Thursday, one of the commissioners (Mr. Thomson) expressed his opinion that the Dock Committee of Liverpool " wished to get the Birkenhead Docks at the lowest price." The opinion is a very sensible one. We are all free traders now-a-days, and hence the Liverpool Dock Committee wish to " buy in the cheapest market," and the Birken head people to " sell in the dearest." When Mr. Thom son added " that is my view," he certainly did not intend to cast an imputation upon his brother commissioners of being behind the age. EiAMINATION OF MASTERS AND MATES.-At a meet ing of the board of examiners, held on Tuesday, the 14th instant, Captain Joseph Cornforth, late master of the Rothschild, of Liverpool, and at present of the ship Ganges, was examined and found duly qualified for a first-class extra master's certificate, from his great experience in maritime affairs. proficiency in nautical astronomy, and great circle sailing, &c., as to entitle him to it. Mr. Walter John Colin Lang, first officer of the British and North American royal mail steam packet Hibernia, was examined, and from his knowledge in nautical astronomy and great circle sailing, was found duly qualified for a first-class extra master's certificate. ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST'S CHURCH, TOXTETH-PARK. —This church, after the suspension of Divine service in it for many weeks, was re-opened on Sunday last ; and much gratified were we to hear of, and see the great things that have been done in it during the period that it has been closed. Its pews on the ground-floor had been attacked by dry-rot, or something like it, and had become in a very tottering and crumbling condition. Everything, however, is right with them now, and likely to continue so, if the plan adopted for their permanency only turns out as well as it promises. All communication with them from the quarter whence the evil proceeded—the red stone founda tion—is entirely cut off by an asphalte flooring and iron steps. The church has been re-painted, and its pews have been lined anew with green cloth, and a very beautiful curtain, attached to an extremely well-chosen cornice, shades the eastern window. Altogether, the building, which has a truly church appearance, looks remarkably well. The organ is a well-toned one, and the singing ex tremely pleasing, being plain, simple, and devotional. On the whole we have reason to congratulate Mr. Hassan, its minister, (who rendered a very particular and interest ing account of the repairs, improvements, &c., and their cost in his sermon,) on the present condition of his church, and on the means which have been so bountifully supplied to produce it. He has had a liberal congregation, and in dustrious churchwardens, and liberal ones too, if we may judge by the gift of the senior one, Mr. Bird, who pre sented the church on this occasion with the cornice and curtain—of which we have already made mention. CHRIST CHURCH.—DIVINE SERVICE ON WEDNESDAY EVENINGS.—We have heard with much regret that the worthy and talented pastor of this large and popular place of worship and his congregation attending on Wednesday evenings have, for some time past, been greatly annoyed by the operations going on in the formation of the railway tunnel from Edge-hill to the North Docks. This tunnel passes under the top of Hunter-street, in the immediate vicinity of the church, and not only have the sub contractors erected a huge steam-engine opposite to the main gates of the edifice, which is itself a great obstruc tion to persons wishful to attend the church, but the blasting of rock beneath is, notwithstanding urgent remonstrances, continued during service on those nights, to the alarm of females and others of delicate nerves. It is easy to conceive that many of these feel little inclined to repeat their visit, and that the attendance for so praise worthy and redeeming an object is consequently greatly reduced. This is not as it should be, nor is there any necessity that it need be, especially in a crowded district, the population of which are chiefly poor, and whose desire for spiritual and moral instruction it were wise rather to welcome than to discourage. Surely, the " blasting," at least, may be discontinued by proper arrangements, from half-past six until nine o'clock on Wednesday evenings, so that parties might have time (service commencing at seven) to go, and to return to their homes, without annoyance. We feel certain that the directors of the railway are not aware of the fact, otherwise they would not compromise themselves by promaing its continuance. To them, therefore, we confidently refer the matter, in the hope, that, without loss to themselves, they will be enabled, as far as possible, to remove all grOlind of future complaint, THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. le restriction of the orc ion on the one hand. ; =%Mil THE LIVERPOOL SHAREBROKERS AND THE PRESSURE OF CALLS FOR MONEY. We cannot regard the meeting of the Liverpool Share brokers, held on the 10th instant, and the resolutions entered into, as either unreasonable or obtrusive. Few men are placed in a position affording greater facilities for acquiring a knowledge of the effect of the difficulties in which railway shareholders are placed by the present strin gency of the money market, and the effect produced by companies:pressing for calls at the present time, than share brokers are. Many a tale of ruinous sacrifice these gen tlemen could relate, as the result of their daily experience. It is idle folly, then, to treat their resolutions, at their late meeting, praying for a suspension of the carrying on of those concerns which are not imperatively necessary to admit of important lines, or connecting links of such lines, being completed and opened, as the selfish prayer of in terested speculators. The fact is apparent and obvious that, sooner or later, under the operation of our currency laws, railway formation, like other branches of enterprise, must be brought to a deadlock. We may have capital, but w 3 have not a circulating medium to carry them on ; and every effort made to fight against the impossibility of so rininm_ only. - 9PrVPQ fn am hn wenca nn Ilninl4ll n ote shareholders, guiltless, in nine cases out of ten, of any fault more heinous than the neglect to take into account, when embarking upon their various speculations, the fact that we have a currency system, the workings of which no man can foresee. s I The Liverpool Sharebrokers' Association ask for no more, on behalf of their clients, than what every man is doing in the conduct of his own business. They ask that shareholders should not be compelled, in a crisis when every prudent commercial man is contracting his opera tions, to raise money, at usurious rates of interest, to pro- the alternative of refusing to do so, to sacrifice the - - - - perty, for which they have paid large sums, for a merely nominal consideration. They require, as an act of justice, that railway shareholders should not be held fast between acilities o of the holders of railway stock have miscalculated their means. So have other men. So have all commercial men. So has the Bank of England itself. So has the legislature miscalculated the means of the entire public. The seasons have interposed to frustrate the best devised schemes of profit. Man proposes, but God only disposes. The directors of railway schemes ought not to be the only parties exonerated from the ordinary casualties of human projects.

The royal party were to sail on Saturday morning early, on board the Victoria and Albert, from the latter place to the western opening of the Crinan Canal. where the royal barge awaited them. The last stage of the sea journey was to be performed from Campbeltown Bay for Fleetwood, from which a railway ride- of two hundred and thirty miles would bring the royal party to London. Great preparations have been made at Fleetwood to do honour to the royal personages. A beautiful archway, neatly and appropriately decorated, has been erected from the pier to the railway station, the royal arms being em blazoned over the doorway, with the inscriptions, " God save the Queen," and " Welcome to Fleetwood."

LONDON CORN MARKET.—YESTERDAY. Our market this morning was tolerably well supplied with Wheat by land-carriage samples from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk; the eeamild being great, however, factors found no difficulty effecting sales at an advance of 4s. per quarter upon the quota tions of Monday last. The improvement of 2s. to 3s. per qr• on foreign Wheat, and 2s. per barrel upon Flour, noted ott Friday last, could not be exceeded this morning. Barley by no means a free sale, but its value was about maintained. Oat, were in fair request, and in some instances 6d. to Is. more money was made than on this day se'nnight. Beans dull, and rather cheaper. White Boiling Peas scarce, and 3s. to 45. dearer. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YESTERDAY. We have again a very large supply of Beasts as to numbers', but a considerable deficiency as to weight and quality. The best descriptions are readily disposed of at advanced prices. Inferior qualities are a heavy sale, at about late rates. The number of Sheep is considerably less, still there is a good sup ply; trade is brisk, but at very little more money—say about 2d. per 81bs. in the very best kinds. There are several Calves on offer; they do not meet a ready sale, and prices rather lower. From Holland and Germany we have 3,250 Sheep and 171 Calves. Pigs are selling quite as dear.

The opening transactions in the public securities have this morning indicated the return of confidence, on the part of the buyers, to an extent hardly to have been expected, con sidering the gloomy state of affairs that existed up to the close of the past week.

Last night ( Monday), at about ten minutes • past six o'clock, Her Majesty and the royal squadron entered the port of Fleetwood.

A fire broke out yesterday, in a room of the house oppo site the abattoir in St. Andrew-street. The articles in the room were destroyed, after which the fire was extinguished. A little girl was severely burnt about the neck and face, and was taken to the Infirmary, where her brother now lies suffering from burns received from a fire in the room about a fortnight since trading matters, and there is nobody who thinks that there is any want of circulation, or extraordinary pressure onthe money market for houses in good credit." st_ _ ve or six miles from Fleetwood, and the intelligence was conveyed to Preston, Manchester, and other places, by the electric telegraph. Shortly before six the squadron entered the river, and its arrival at the outer light house was announced by the firing of cannon. The royal squadron quietly made its way down the channel, and soon passed the shore light house, entering the harbour under a royal salute from the cannon planted opposite the North Eastern Hotel. On her arrival - opposite the pier, the Victoria and Albert yacht cast anchor, surrounded by the rest of the squadron. The squadron on its entrance into the harbour was ac companied by a considerable number of the steamers be longing to the port, which, on the first announcement of the royal party being in sight, had gone out to meet them. Several, however, had left the port for that purpose in the early part of the day. The appearance of the river on the approach of the squadron, and the vessels in attendance, was most animating, and the immense crowds of spec tators on the shore rendered the sight altogether exceed ingly imposing. What the world will say of a man, intrusted with the important duties of Chancellor of the Exchequer, who has the hardihood to say, •` there is nobody who thinks that there is any want of circulation, or extraordinary pressure on the money market for houses in good credit," we do not presume to guess. All that we can say upon the subject is that hundreds of people of good credit feel the pressure for money at the present moment. What wonder, therefore, that the Coal Trade feels it ? Yet the Times has the assurance to maintain that men who raise coal from the bowels of the earth—who have wages, royalties, freights. haulage, and other expenses to pay, and of course to receive pay for their produce,— have no right to be subject to the influence of a restricted currency, or its results, a high price of discounts. He says : AID TO THE PoiE.—"John Tuam" has, through hiS organ (the Freeman's Journal), issued a monster mani festo, declaratory of his sympathy with his Holiness the Pope, and denouncing, in good set terms, the tyranny of the Court of Austria. The document is addressed to the very rev. and rev. the clergy, and to the faithful of this diocese of Tuam.

Her *jest 3 r would sleep last night on board the royal yacht, and, according to the latest accounts, the debarka tion will take place at ten o'clock this morning, when the royal party will immediately proceed by railway to Lon don. We learn that no stoppage whatever will take place on the journey, except for the necessary changing of en gines, &c.,—that the engine "Prince Albert," above al luded to, will convey her Majesty from Fleetwood, and to obviate the excitement and bustle which a stoppage for this purpose would occasion_at Preston, it is intended to ACCIDENTAL DEATII.—An inquest was held yesterday on the body of Fanny Elizabeth Brown, a child aged 3 months.

Verdict in accord ance with the testimony of the surgeon who made a post mortem examination—died from natural causes. GARDEN ROBBERIES.—TWO little boys residing in Windsor were yesterday charged, by Mr. Hardman Earle, with being found on Sunday in his garden in Smithdown lane. Mr. E. said he did not ptish for any severity of punishment, as the prisoners had got nothing when they were apprehended ; but they belonged to a set from the foundry at Windsor, who had frequently plundered his garden of fruit, and even plants, and he should certainly take strong steps against any of them that might be here after detected. The prisoners were put down. POLICE COURT, YESTERDAY.—The cases at the court yesterday (and which in the absence of Mr. Rushton were heard by Mr. Thomas Booth), were few and of little interest. Robert Morris, for stealing a pair of trousers from Thomas Woodward, was committed for three months.—Mary Sullivan, for robbing Thomas Farrington of 1 ls,—fourteen days.—Christopher Steed, for illegally pledging a pair of boots belonging to-William Atkinson; and James Ryley, for being found with no good intent on board of a ship in the Salthouse Dock—Seven days each. transfer the train to the London and North Western Company at Warrington, instead of at Preston, where their line commences. more moment ; as it is, the loss is almost confined to the injury done to the station. Immediately on her Majesty's arrival becoming known in Preston, the influx of passengers to Fleetwood was very great at the station of the former place. Special trains were announced with as much expedition as possi ble, which were to be continued till a late hour last night, and again commence early this morning. The arrivals from Manchester and the surrounding district are expected to be very great. VALUE OF AN OLD COAL-PIT ROPE.—Among the nu merous worn-out and often considered worthless, mate rials, which the ingenuity of man has discovered means of remanufacturing, and rendering of equal value with the original[substance, are old tarred ropes, which have been long in use at coal-pits. Our readers will be surprised when we inform them, that, out of this dirty (and, appa rently unbleachable) substance is produced a tissue paper, of the most beautiful fabric, evenness of surface; and deli cacy, of colour—a ream of which, with wrapper and string, weighing 2 lbs. It is principally used in the Pot teries, for transferring the various patterns to the earthen ware, and is found superior to any other substance yet known for that purpose; it is so tenacious, that a sheet of it if twisted by hand in the form of a rope, will support upwards of a hundred weight. 'Truly, we live in an ago of invention. HEROIC CONDUCT.—On Wednesday last, a man, Jos. Gurnett, jumped into the north-west corner of Brunswick Dock, and rescued the son of Henry Jenkinson, coal merchant, of Wigan-street. He has on several occasions rescued other persons, who, but for his timely aid and daring interference, would have perished by d rown i ng . We understand that this deserving man has been long an applicant for a situation under the corporation of this town, fromwhich he sailed many years as a seaman, and we should be glad to hear of his application being successful. MISS EMILY GRANT.—This talented young lady is about to take up her residence in Liverpool, for the pur pose of giving instruction in singing and music. We learn that she is already patronised by some of the first families in the town; and her own natural powers, together with her qualifications acquired from the first masters, fully entitle her to discharge in the most efficient manner the duties to which she has devoted herself. She has latterly been an admired member of a company in London ; but more recently she distinguished herself at the series of concerts given, in connection with the Polytechnic exhi bition, at the Collegiate Institution. She must meet with success, and her talents well deserve it. CAUTION TO PASSENGERS GOING TO, OR COMING FROM, STEAM VESSELS.—On Saturday, an inquest was held before Mr. Statham, the deputy borough coroner, on view of the body of Margaret Conway, aged about thirty years, wife of a labourer residing in Carlton-street. At two o'clock, on Friday afternoon, as the Dublin steam-packet, Queen Victoria, was going out of the Clarence Dock, de ceased made a step from the quay on to the paddle-box, when her foot slipped, and she fell between the vessel and the wall, where she got jammed, and was severely crushed about the loins. She was released as speedily as possible, and was carried on a bearing barrow to the Northern Hos pital, where she died in a few minutes. Verdict, " Acci dental death." ANECDOTE OF THE LATE JOHN WALTER, ESQ. — The Times of Thursday contains a lengthened and interesting biographical memoir of this much respected gentleman. The writer takes occasion to introduce the following highly characteristic anecdote, communicated to him by " a friend and eye-witness."—•' In the spring of the year 1833, an express arrived from Paris bringing the speech of the King of the French, on the opening of the French Chambers. The express reached the Times office at 10 a.m. There was no editor on the spot—no printers ; but Mr. Walter was in Printing-house-square. He sent for ****, *** l4 , ****. Not one of them was to be found. I too, was sent for, but was out. It was a " mail" day. I came to the office about 12 o'clock, and found Mr.. Walter, then M.P. for Berks, working in his shirt sleeves at case. He had himself translated the principal parts of the speech. and was setting up his own transla tion with his own hand, assisted, I think, by one com positor. He gave me a proof of what he had set up, and desired me to read over the speech, and see whether he had omitted anything material. I found only two very short sentences of any importance omitted. I translated them, and Mr. Walter set them up, The second edition, with the speech, was in the city by 2 p.m. Had not Mr. Walter turned to in the way he did, the whole expense of the express.must have been lost; for I am sure that there was not one man in the whole establishment who could have performed the double part which he executed that day with his own bands." ST. JAMES'S SCHOOLS.—In consequence of the popu lation of the district of St. James's Church having greatly increased, the schools are found far below the require ments of the neighbourhood, and in consequence it has been determined to enlarge the present building. To raise the necessary funds, as will be seen from an an nouncement elsewhere, a committee has been formed to make arrangements for a sale of fancy work in October, which we have no doubt will prove lucrative and attrac tive. The need of education is now universally admitted, and in such a district as that of St. James's we hope the inhabitants will not be long without more efficient and commodious schools. THE PRINCIPALITY.—ROYAL ATTENTION.—HerMajesty has been graciously pleased to name H. R. H. the Prince of Wales to be patron of the next Eisteddfod to take place at Abergavenny, in the autumn of 1848, on which occa sion H. R. H. the Prince of Wales gives a prize of twenty five guineas for "the best critical Essay on the History of the Language and Literature of Wales, from the time of Gruffydd ap Cynan (and Merlin), t o that of Sir Gruffydd Llwyd, (and Gwilym Ddil,) accompanied with specimens both in the original, and in a close (English or Latin) translation of the Poems most ,characteristic of that pe riod." It is very gratifying to her Majesty's Cambrian subjects to find that she does not forget the Principality of Wales, and that the ancient customs, language, and literature of Scotland, do not engross more than a share of royal consideration, but that her attention and that of her royal son are also bestowed upon the celtic inhabitants of the southern part of her dominions. THE REV. W. M. FALLOON. — WhiIst in Liverpool, we heard Dr. M`Neile's former curate, Mr. Falloon, who en joys a singular and very enviable popularity in this place. It is a popularity founded upon goodness, benevolence, and activity, rather than on the repute of great abilities. He preaches the gospel especially to the poor, by whom he is adored. We attended his prayer-meeting, which, in curious contrast to all Scottish specimens of the sort, was nearly full on a week-day evening. Mr. F. is a sim ple conversationalist, but interesting preacher. His preaching is a mincing down of minced meat—a subdivi sion of fragments—but is admirably adapted for the `babes' among whom he ministers ; and he delivers with a quiet impressive earnestness which is very effective.—. Rev. W. Gilfillan. in Hogy's Weekly Instructor. THE FUNDS.—UNUSUAL DECLINE.-The fall in Con sols last week amounted altogether to about one and a half per cent. It is needless to reiterate the causes tend ing to bring about this deplorable condition of things. Heavy speculative operations among the jobbers comprised the chief business, and on each day's transactions a fall has been established. Consols for money on Friday were done as low as 851 for money, and 861 for the account. They subsequently rallied, and left off rather more than a quarter per cent. above those prices. Exchequer Bills have been fairly steady at 3s. to 6s. pm., considering what has been passing in the mercantile world. Bank Stock advanced to 200 to 202 in consequence of the issue of the meeting. The anxiety which prevailed during the whole week continued on Saturday, and the English funds touched the lowest price, at which they have been quoted for some years—the decline in Consols having gone an eighth below that which took place on the 11th of April last, when they were marked 851. The opening price of Consols for money was on Saturday morning 85/ to 4, and after some unimportant fluctuations they closed at 85+ to I. For the account they ranged from 851 to 851, and after the termination of regular business they went to 85+ su b sequen tly recovering, however, to 851 t o I. Political' considerations had considerable effect in pro ducing these downward movements, since, notwithstand ing the prevalence of the most reckless reports of failures, a tone of more confidence with regard to commercial matters was on the whole observable. India Stock left off 239 to 241; and India bonds, 3s. dis. to 2s. premium. In Exchequer-bills there was a decided improvement, owing probably to investments on account of suspended houses, and the price was ss. - to Bs. premium. In the Stock Exchange money, as is usual on a Saturday, was in less demand, and the rate was from 41 to 5 per cent. 'Foreign stocks were again affected by the gloom existing in the English market, and all bargains were done at lower quotations. The transactions of the day included Brazilian, at 831 ; D an i sh, at 83+; Ecuador, at 3 ; Mex ican, for the account, at 181 ; Portuguese Three per Cents. at 25 ; the Four per Cents., at 24 ' • Russian, at 106 ; Spanish Fi ve pe i C ents., for money and the account, at 19 1; And the Three per .Cents., for the account, at 291, tTTY'S PICTURES OF JOAN OF ARC'S CAREER.—These paintings are now advertised for the last week. Those who admire the art—whether in drawing or colouring— will find in these pictures something more than ordinary. They are amongst the many excellent works of that es esteemed artist. DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON BOARD OF A STEAMER.— Yesterday, an inquest was held on the body of William Doyle. Patrick M'lntyre, a fireman on board the steam packet Queen Victoria, now in the Clarence Dock, said the deceased, who was 37 years of age, was head engineer on board. On Sunday night about eleven o'clock, when they were on their passage from Belfast, and had got off the Calf of Man, witness went to fire up. The deceased was then sitting between the engines. While witness was firing up, he heard a cracking noise, and on looking round he saw deceased under one of the beams of the engine. Witness got hold of him and pulled him from under. He was quite dead, and his head was terribly crushed. There is a railing of about a yard high to pre vent any one from falling under the beams. Witness could not account for deceased being caught by the beam, except that he must have been looking whether there was any bilge water under them. THE " MERCURY" AND ITS LOST STOOL—We observe a wicked paragraph in a contemporary, to the effect, so far as we can understand it, that the proprietors of the Mercury have been robbed by some designing scamp of some thousand copies of their paper. We should have said of the publics' paper ; for wo have always been given to understand that the public could not get on—could not "sleep o' nights" without its ordinary dose of that soporific commodity. The Journal—our informant—intimates, however, that the theft has been encouraged by the Mercury having selfishly withheld of late—kept, in fact, under lock and key upon his own premises —a large stock of the soporific commodity in question, in the shape of unsold copies, to a perusal and to the comforting influence of which, none but the editors were admitted. Hence, per haps, the happy state of somnolency which these gentle men have been recently enjoying. We are certainly dis posed, on all occasions like all goed subjects, to see virtue rewarded and vice punished; but we must honestly say that, were we in the position of a juryman, and the abstractor of Mercuries before us for our verdict, we should deal leniently with him. It was considerate, at least on his part, to diffuse the sleepy influence, which our con temporary evidently has been keeping so near to his editorial sanctorum, amongst the trunkmakers, the grocers, and the tallow-chandlers of the neighbourhood, by whom it will be given to their customers and the locomotive world. Imagine the influence upon the inmates of a second-class railway carriage of six or seven trunks lined with the Mercury Happily neither the engine nor the tender carries luggage. Of course we presume that the papers lost are the missing Tuesday's Mercuries, of which it has often surprised us that we have seen so few and which have, doubtleSs, been kept for the private perusal of the editors and their few advertisers, The following letter was on Monday received at the Oriental Divan, Clayton-aquare, by Mr. Feeney, who has great pleasure in laying it before his patrons : Billingsgate, Sept. 9, 1847. Sir,—l have this day forwarded you, per rail, the supply of Native Oysters you required, and will, in ac cordance with your arrangements when in 7bion, con tinue daily to send you the same quantity. As you have not limited me to the ordinary price, I send you an ex cellent article, the choicest picked Whitstables ; and I am sure they cannot be surpassed, if equalled. I feel satis fied they will meet the approval of your Patrons.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant Mr. Feeney N. BATEMAN. In calling attention to the above, the proprietor would emphatically state that the Divan, as a Chop, Dinner, or Steak-house, or as a fashionable lounge, is unequalled out of London. TIDE TABLE.
