In vain it was represented to him that no parti cular class of society can produce a general uprising among men of all ranks and degrees with us, and that every English Protestant is impressed from his boyhood with the necessity of resisting what is called the encroach ment of the Church of Rome. In vain it was explained that the coming over of a limited number of converts was no proof of a wide-spread defection, and that attachment to the Established Church forms an integral part of the loyalty of the British people. The Pope, strong in the belief inspired by his London agents, and moved by the con repeated assurances of those in whom he reposed un -3 i „ bounded confidence, closed his ears to toe trot.. now sc.:uses himself of having called forth an anti-Roman Catholic demonstration. After such an admission, we cannot but return to our first impressions as to the course a firm English Government might have pursued efficaciously in this matter ; and suggest that a passing call upon his Holiness by a British Admiral, with a ship of the line, from which to send his card to the Vati can, would have saved the country a world of trouble, and the Ministry of Lord John Russell much humiliation. Such a step would have been quite as dignified and as defensible as our Greek interference in the huckstering quarrel of Don Pacifico. LIVERPOOL DISTRICT COURT OF RUPTCY-YF STERDAY. BANK.

In 1841 a revenue of £48,084,360 was paid with 14,948,505 quarters. In 1849 a revenue of £52,951,749 required 23,932,993 quar ters ; and in 1850 a revenue about the same in amount would require 26,230,000 quarters. The rent of a farm of £3OO a-year which in 1841 re quired 93 bushels 2 quarters of wheat to pay it, in 1850, the sixth year of free trade, required 149 bushels and 3 quarters, an increase of 60 per cent. All other outgoings, it is clear, must he similarly enhanced as estimated in that produce, the price of which chiefly determines the agriculturist's income. It is all very well to threaten us with violence on the part of our manufacturing towns as certain to result from any attempt to restore a protective sys tem, however limited in its extent. The agricul tural communitj, however, will not be dragooned or bullied into abject submission to the certain• ruin which must ensue from the working of the present system in a country situated as Great Bri tain is. Before we progress much further we shall. have to determine how the debt is to be paid, and the revenue of the country raised. We shall have to determine also what is to be done with a pau perized agricultural class. We may have to deal with insurrection and bloodshed spread over the whole face of the land ; and then, perhaps, with a home trade destroyed, with a revenue insufficient to supply the national wants, with the country shorn of its defences, and a starving people cla mouring at their doors, our millocracy and capi talists will be disposed to acknowledge that the just rights of the majority of a nation cannot be denied with impunity ; and that there is occasion ally such an occurrence in the world as an over clever architect bringing down his own house upon his head. The letters received from Rome since the first promulgation of the measure devised for the re pression of the insult, directed by the Papacyagainit this country have fully borne out our views as to the feeling with which they were likely to be received in that capital. The first announcement of that measure by Lord John Russell was regarded as puerile and ridiculous, so far as regards the prohi bition of Titles. Rouse was in ecstasies of laughter at the idea that her designs could he thwarted by a measure directed against mere names. Her hierarchy she conceived to have become a great fact ; and little it mattered to her whether Cardinal Wiseman resided in Westminster or in Rome, or whether, in public documents, the individual Irish man placed in authority over the faithful in Tuam, styled himself simple John WHale, or John Arch bishop of that Diocese. But the papacy was sore at those clauses of the measure which interfered with the privileges of the priesthood and hierarchy to grasp the possessions of death-bed penitents. Popery possesses a tolerably correct notion of the value of money, as not only great in itself, but great also as a means to the ends which it has in The correspondent of the London Times, writing from Rome on the 28th ult., remarks : " The Times of the 18th, containing Lord John Rus. sell's bill, reached us yesterday, and was most eagerly sought for, as the Galignani, which usually provides copious extracts from the London papers, of the 19th did not give this important document. So far as I can judge, the bill disappoints the hopes and fears of all classes—the Church of England adherents considering that it is nearly initicient, and the Roman Catholics being relieved of the terror inspired by ministerial threats. The only section which comes up to the general expectation is the money part, as the Roman Catholics see that where the pocket is touched a serious injury is inflicted, and they deplore that Mr. O'Con- ell is not alive to drive a coach and four through the objectionable clauses. In short, the bill is looked upon as an abortive measure." If this was the impression, however, created at Rome by the hill, as at first brought in, what will be the mockery with which the propaganda will re gard the present emasculated measure—the 9d. in the pound, instead of the 10s. compromise, a -, Sir Robert Inglis very justly considers if ? Mr. O'Con nell's presence on this earthly scene is now no longer required. The Government itself has driven a coach and four through its own measure. Alas, for Whiggery ! The same letter informs us further that : "The sacred pontiff is personally much grieved by the amount of the majority, as it destroys all the hopes he entertained of a large conversion from Protestantism thou in his usual mild manner, that he has been de ceived by his English advisers on the state of public opi nion with us, and that he considers the respective num bers on the first vote as full evidence on that point. It was represented by those who urged, at an untimely mo ment, his consent to a project long since prepared in the Propaganda, that the outcry with which it was received COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY REPORT. Monday Night Our commercial markets are at a stand, there - being little if any demand for any article of produce, with the exception of tea, which seems to be attracting the atten tion of speculators. There is no doubt that the uncer tain position of the government is one of the main causes of this absence of energy with commercial men. The general impression is that the present government cannot continne to wield the destinies of this mighty empire, and that a dissolution of parliament is inevitable. Such be ing the case, matters instead of mending will get worse, There is yet time to get the election over before the Ist of May, but whether or not, the commerce of this country should not be paralyzed for any such bauble. What we want is a strong government, and the country is looking to Lord Stanley to form one. He is only waiting till the pear is ripe, which can't be very long now, perhaps a few weeks. The steam-ship Africa arrived on Sunday, with Ameri can advices to the 26th ult. It appears that the receipts of Cotton at the American ports exceed those of last year by 1:03.000 bales, and that in the quantity exported to Great Britain there is an excess of 60,00 hales ; but on comparison with those of 1849, we find a deficiency in the numner of bales exported of 166.000, and in the receipts at ports of 134,000. The accounts from this side had caused a panic amongst the speculators in America, and prices had declined id. to li. per lb. The following steamer would not improve their prospects, so that we cannot look for any amendment for the present. We gather from the general tone of the letters by this mail, that nothing new has transpired regarding the crop ; that the prices were generally high ; that planters were send ing their cotton forward quicker than uaoal ; and that the increased receipts at the ports, with the disappointment occasioned by the English advices, had caused the depres sion. Great complaints were being made regarding the poorness of the quality of the cotton. On Saturday the Cotton market was dull hut no change in prices could be noticed. The sales were 4,000 bales, all to the trade. To-day, upon receipt of the advices per Africa, showing a continued increase in the receipts at the ports, with larger estimates of the croo, eur market be came unsettled, and sales were efiected at per lb. decline from the quotations of Friday. The transactions of the day amount to 4,500 bales, of which 500 bales Surat are for export end speculation. Import since Friday:— Uplands 712. Orleans and Mobile 6,453. Egyptian 83, and West India 45 bales. Total, 7.293 bales. Since the publication of the brokers' circular, on Friday, the transactions in foreign and colonial produce have been to a moderate extent. Sugar has improved in demand, and we note the following sales :-256 bags Benares, at 41s. 6d. to 435. ; 2.400 bags Pernams, at 19s. 6d. from the quay ; and 3,500 afloat at the same rate; 40 brls. Vene zuela, nt 425. 6d • 1,200 bags low dates, 296. 6d ; and 1.600 Madras, at 31s. 6d. to 38s. We also report sales of 250 lihds. Demerara, at 355. 91 up to 445. ; of Rice, 1,950 bags ; and pocksts have found buyers at 7s. to Bs. for low broken, and 9s. 3d. per cwt. tor middling. 300 bags of Saltpetre sold at 100 at 28s. to 294., and 200 at 255. 6d. ; 400 hales Jute, at £9 15s. for very low, but chi. fly at £lO 15s. to £lO 10s. Some 80 bags black Pepper have changed hands at 31d. per lb. On Saturday. the tone of the debates in the House of Commons, coupled with the unsatisfactory nature of all the intelligence from the Continent regarding the German question, caused considerable flatnessin the English funds. The latest prices will be found, as usual, among our tele graphic ad vici,s. There has been again a very iarge amount of business done in the Share Market. Neither the Ministerial diffi culties, high contangoes, nor Kaffir wars appear to damp the ardour of speculators. It is quite evident that the advance in share-property is-only commencing; we hear the infection of buying spreading in all directions. The meetings just over have been, almost without exception, satisfactory: more economic management, and the gradual developement of traffic promise. in all cases, better divi dends.

The University of Dublin has conferred the degree of D.C.L. on Dr. Hume, of this town. Lord Gough has also had the same distinction awarded to him by that college. We understand that Mr. Beam, jun., who was last Monday brought before Mr. Rushton, relative to the pos session of some watches, was liberated next day on the arrival of his father in Liverpool, . . . FATAL ACCIDENT.—Rosanna Good, an old woman, died on Saturday in Northern hospital, from the effects of an accident which happened to her on the previous Mon day. Deceased was picking cotton from the street about Brancker's warehou , e, when the projecting bale from a passing lorry jammed her against the wall, injuring her face very much, and eventually resulting in her death. CURIOUS CAUSE ON DEATII.—On Friday evening, a young roan named William Irwin, in the employment of Mr. Smith, a provision -dealer, in Hill-street, purchased some oysters at a stall in the street ; he ate a dozen of the oysters; shortly afterwards he was taken ill and died on the following morning. A boy who had eaten one o these oysters at the same time, also suffered from the effects of even so moderate an indulgence. DREADFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—On Sunday afternoon Mi. Thos. Holland, landlord of the Punch Bowl, Fleet street, expired , chile walking along Great George-street, from the bursting of a blood vessel. About a week ago Mr. Holland was attacked by a violent cough, which had weakened his constitution considerably. O'i Sunday afternoon he left his home for the purpose of walking down to the docks, in order to obtain some intelligence by the Africa. Ile bad scarcely left the house ten mi nutes before he was brought in a corpse. Fortunately, Mr. Davis, of teet-street, nuppeueu Lu uu lit Luc DLICUIL when the dreadful occurrence happened, and thus no time &c. ; and when they first became partners. Reeves was possess. the lease of the house in which the business was cam. on, and Dawson brought about £BOO or £990 into the concern. After carrying on business for some time, they thought it would conduce to the extension of their trade if the upper part of the house were furnished, _ and the carried ght ; tr of what funds were the corm council INQUIRY AT SEACOMBE LAST NIGHT. The village of Seac ombe was, on Friday night, thrown into considerable excitement by the discovery of, happily, only an attempted crime ; the circumstances of which. however, were of a character exhibiting either great heartlessness or an amount of misery and consequent recklessness on the part of the perpetrator most 'revolting to the ordinary feelings of humanity. The circumotances are, briefly, as follows :—At about half-past six o'clock p.m., a man named Bibby, accompanied by another party, walked from the Seacombe Ferry. it being then low water, round the outer side of the New Dock wall enclosing the North Crown Reserve of the Wallasey Pool., Their object was to recover a brush belonging to a sweep, which had been washed away in the afternoon by the receding tide. On coming to a place opposite to the steps on the westward side of the wall they discovered a child, apparently under a fortnight old, and half naked, deposited amongst some stones near the steps, about a toot and-a-half below the then water mark. The child, a boy, whose scanty clothing was saturated with water was brought to Messrs. Parry's Hotel, where it was promptly attended by Dr. Shaw, of Mount-pleasant, Liverpool, who happened to be on the spot, and by Mr. Bird, of Seacombe. After the application of warm cloth ing, and the administration of food, it was placed under the care of the wife of one of the engineers connected with the ferry, with whom it speedily recovered, and is now in a state of robust infantine health. It was elicited, on inquiry, that a woman had crossed the ferry in the after noon, with a child in her arms, which she had shown to a female in Seacombe, to whom she detailed also her dis tressed situation, stating that she had only recently come from Dublin. Acting upon this hint, an effort to trace her was promptly made b;• Mr. Newton, of the county police, in Liverpool, to which it was believed she had gone, the local police, in the meantime, making inquiries in the neighbourhood. The circumstances of the case were also communicated to the Liverpool police, and on Saturday evening a woman was arrested in Upper Frede rick-street, Liverpool, who, on being brought over to Seacombe, acknowledged herself as the mother of the child. The other circumstances will be best gathered from the evidence given at her examination yesterday, at the magistrates'-room, Seacombe. _ After Mr. Henry Winch, the magistrate presiding, had taken his seat, the prisoner, who stated her name to be Henighan, a single woman, aged 20, was placed at the bar. Her appearance was not very prepossessing, but that of a healthy young woman of the lower class of Irish. She appeared very wretched; and occasionally, during the examination, betrayed great contrition. _ _ Mary Roach was the first witness examined, and stated that she kept a hardware standing at the G-oree-piazzas, George's Dock, and lived in a court in Hurst-street, Li verpool. The prisoner had lodged about a month ago in the court, and she had noticcd her to be pregnant. Her knowledge of her was confined to the circumstance of prisoner having come into her house for a light. On Friday morning prisoner passed her standing in the piazzas and she beckoned her, and asked her it' she had been con fined. Prisoner replied that she had been, at the Work house a week previously of a boy and that she had lett because she was not able to eat the food there. She had the child with her ; and said that she was going to sell a nightgown to get them something to eat. Witness gave her 5d., which was all the money she had, for the bed gown, and directed her to a place where she could satisfy her hunger. Prisoner told her that she was going to the Clarence Dock, whence she expected to get a free passage to DOlin. Thomas Joseph Roach, husband of the last witness, deposed to meeting the prisoner on Friday night at a public-house in Frederick-street, where she was drinking a glass of rum with " two boys." Had been told ay his wile that she had been confined, and asked about the child ; but he gave no answer, and he concluded that the child was in bad. Subsequently found that she had not returned with her child, and gave her into custody. Police-officer Connell, 615, of Liverpool, deposed to apprehending the prisoner. After being in custody she gave two different accounts of her movements. First, she stated that she had left her child in a churchyard in Liverpool, it having died in her arms ;: and subsequently, on being informed that it had been found, she confessed that she had placed it with its back to some clay on the sea shore in Cheshire. _ _ _ Richard Bibby proved having found the child as above stated ; and Ann Harrison, wife of Thomas Harrison. master of the Seacombe boat Thomas Wilson, identified the prisoner as the person whom she had sp,ken to on Friday afternoon. She subsequently identified the child. John Molyneux Bird, apothecary and chemist, Sea combe, deposed that he had been sent for on the occasion of the finding of the child ; and that on prom fitting to the ferry found that Mr. Richard Parry, accompanied by Dr. Shaw, had brought the child up to the hotel in a blanket. Had attended it since, and it was doing well. _ _ _ _ , . ' The child was produced by Mrs. Leather, who had taken it to nurse, and fully identified, both by the various wit nesses and the unfortunate mother, who exclaimed on see ing it, neatly dressed by the kind attentions of Mrs. R. Parry, as we understood, " Hang me ! Wing me ! that's n.v baby !" and wept bitterly. The inquiry was then adjr►urned until Wednesday next, when the- depositions will be read over and signed. The scene was a very dis tressing one. MONS. JULLIEN'S CONCERT—LAST NIGHT. Last evening, Mons. Jullien gave his " Grand Concert Monstre," at the Royal Amphitheatre, on which occasion the artistes attached to his own orchestral staff were aided by the splendid band of the 91st regiment, who were per mitted to attend by Lieut..• Colonel J. F. Campbell. In addition the French drummers, under the direction of M. Barbiere, were also present. The house was positively crammed, only standing room being left, for those who arrived some minutes before the commencement of the Concert. Part first opened with the overture to Rossini's William Tell, which was very finely played. The Caledonian Quadrille followed, some of the airs in which were played with a thorough appreciation of the Scottish music. The remaining pieces of the first part most worthy of notice were the andante from Hadyn's Surprise Symphony. and Karl Buller's Valse a deux temps, "The Mandolina," both of which were sweetly played. Mons. Lavigne's solo on the oboe, with melodies and variations from La Somnambula, was a most effective effort. Mad'lle. Jetty Trrffz sung an aria, " Voi the sanete," from Nozze di Figaro, which was encored, upon which the lady gave " Home, sweet home." We must say that, however artistically she may sing this song, its meaning seems not to be fully appreciated by her. The part closed with the great exhibition quadrille, which we have noticed on previous occasions. It was splen didly played ; but we would suggest to Mons. Jullien, ,f t'- - French drummers and their imposing director ,ie M. Barhiere. begin to get rather stale. The playing of Herrs Koenig and Sommers, M. Lavigne, Mr. Pratten, and Mr. Collinet, in this and the second part, was of a very first-rate character. General Tom Thumb was arrested recently in Savannah for driving his " state carriage" on the sidewalk. The law:does not overlook the most insignificant individual. LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY. — The usual fortnightly meeting of this Society was held last night, _ when an interesting lecture on " induced voltaic currents considered as therapeutic agents," was delivered by Mr. J.

Last evening, a public meeting, convened by placar d° issued at the instance of a local committee which has bee' constituted in favour of the Polish and Hangarian fugees, was heldatthe Concert Hall, Lord Nelson-sae:P i for the purpose of deliberating on the propriety of it morialising parliament and the government in their bells': The hall was crowded to excess, and much enthusiasticfe o " , ing was manifested by the audience. Amongst those on the platform, and - immediately above it, were a great nunille t of the refugees, who on making their appearance in tit e meeting were haired by tremendous cheering. Franci' BOult, Esq., Charles Holland, Esq., John Taylor, Pl'" J. W. Linton, Esq., Rev. Mr. Bishop, Mr. Hobbs, 'NI' M. A. Gage, Ms. Goodfellow, Mr. Bott, Mr. Williams` .: r. Shepherd, Mr. Pollock, &c., &c., were present Ali the platform. Mr. FRANCIS BOUM was called on to preside, and. " 3 , 1 . 1 . taking the chair, he observed that he found himself, A w . an unexpected position, inasmuch 113 he had attentr„; rather to bear what was to be advanced than to take au'. part in the proceedings. He was happy to see so large l meeting to express sympathy and to hold out the hand t welcome to those who, to. rescue their country fro foreign tyrants, had been compelled to seek reftig and aid where the one or the other had never Yr been denied to unfortunate foreigners. (Loud cheers./ They were that evening placed in some little difficulty' with respect to the position in which their foreign friell stood, but he trusted. that the explanation which woo l be given by the gentlemen authorised by the foreigner' ) would relieve them out of it. The difficulty to which h e alluded was this : It was generally understood that as arrangement,—whether with or without the sanction f the refugees themselves was not clearly stated,—but was implied that, with their own consent, the foreigne r ; were to be forwarded to America. (Hear, hear.) OP disclaimed this : they were very anxious to remtn°' if they could obtain the means of dwelling he and their object was to be not out of reach should, at sD after time, the opportunity arise for again striking a bTa' blow in defence of liberty and of their country. (L a ' cheers.) He was not, as they new, any friend for war °r for fighting under ordinary circumstances, but there wer e causes and occasions to which that last resort must , come to (applause) ; for, had not our forefathers loug h ' the battles of freedom, we should not now have been in l. better position than our neighbours on the Continen t ' (Cheers.) After some further remarks. Mr. Bola call . upon Mr. Linton to address the meeting. Mr. LINTON, on coming forward, was hailed by 0 cheers. He said if he came before them as a strangers , 0 was not to tell to the men of Liverpool what they had t°. do, or to hint the course which they should pursue in tr ference to this broad matter of humanity,—but heal! . he had been invited, on behalf of their foreign &lentil. to clear the false impressions which had' gone abro ad through the medium of the press, relative to their obieP in remaining.in this country, which was not to be too , 11 . r from their country's call in the hour of an emergency On ing. The impression which had very widely gone forth vlr this : that the refugees had been willing to go toAmerici4 but that they had been induced, through some influen ce wrought upon them. to change their minds, and tha t so doing they were liable for some violation of an u nder' standing, in virtue of which they were allowed to leaf Turkey. He would show that this. from first to la s 1. was utterly erroneous. (Hear, hear, and chee rs.) Lt the first place, he held in his hand a document whi,!.: would speak their intention, and which also would be 01 ;. authority for then addressing the meeting. This it o f t declaration dated Liverpool, the 6th of March, 1851. l e . was as follows :—" Declaration Ist. Whereas, after tu three days of consideration allowed to us, we have quired the conviction' that the law of the land perm its'P'' to remain faithful to our duties towards our fat herland , l the undersigned have resolved to remain in Bog's° (Cheers.) 2nd. And, whereas, our remaining in Engla% requires exertion to be made for securing to us adequ a " means of subsistence; and as our ignorance of the lave gunge and of the usages of the land prevents us from e; comnlishing this by ourselves, we request and authorid, M. Stanilaus Worcell to act for that purpose in our beliaPj (Loud cheers.) This declaration, Mr. Linton said, I' a . received the signatures of 232 out of 263'0f the refuel and the nine Hungarians, who had not signed it, c°,. ° l not conform to the second part, inasmuch as th e had no knowledge of Mr. Worcell. (Loud cheering. So much, then, for the statement that they were w illing go to America. Mr. Linton then denied that there b; been any inducements made by M. Worcell himself.., any other parties, to influence the refugees in their chOr e , but asserted that there had been means adopted by i n (t rested individuals to induce them to proceed. They ' i p f Constantinople with no further intention, or by 5 , 10 f arrangetrent entered into with our ambas aau 4 there, than that they were permitted to to America if they chose. (Applause.) Mr. LirL i s next read a statement from the Mercury, of the prei",,. Friday, and related the assertions made in it serial ist to far back as October last, a written question was enco them by Sir. S. Canning, whether they would go to Amer nil if there was no place of succour for them in Turkey ; b a w l, they preferred going to America rather than to a T ur ,o , prison. (Loud cheers.) During the whole in' i tig vening time they had been in correspondence The Mr. Worcell, whom they instructed to act for them. ,: o . speaker then, at great length, went on to show by ' be et mentary and other evidence that the foreigners had left a free choice,. as to whether they would remau' rie t Eaeland. lie denounced the conduct of the " gctitleman."'whose statement appeared in the Afer'„ ge g, as being actuated by self-interest and pecunia r y a d and called upon the meeting to see that the P e t thrown themselves upon their protection were not for c ,j to do that which they did not wish to do. If they de cw , ;) to go, their best wishes went with them. (Loud cheeLo Mr. SHEPHERD was called upon to propose the.l;:r, resolution, which he did in an animated speech of consta° able length. The resolution was as follows : . f o r th i ' That this Meeting expresses its warmest sympathY, Polish and Hungarian Refugees who have just reacheo," t helr pool from Constantinople; and, —understanding that it' s vo of ciesire and intention to remain in England, and to enl a d op^ to obtain employment here till such time as they maY fi n re; portunity to serve their country,—this meeting urgen t ,' sn" commends that Committees be formed in Liverpo e. w ing throughout the country, in order to assist them in g_ a t i l ea l employment and also to help their friends in supporting till they shall be able to maintain themselves." e au' Mr. WILLIAMS, of- Baqnett-street, seconded the L. It• 'M J inn. He reprobated the wish to saddle Brother d . than with the burden, if the refugees be consider e ,,,o l that light ; and expressed his confidence that ever ), P a' in ttat room would subscribe his mite to enable W h ere, triots to fol!ow out their intention. The CuAtabW i e ree announced to the meeting that it had just been suli, 0 00:, 0 that a penny subscription should be got up in the o f and he also read a letter front Mr. Kelly, a public ° 0 0e Harford-street, in which the writer offered to have man billeted on his house for a month. th e - dmee" the Mr. JNo. TAYLOR then moved an amendmen-t t , effect of which was that the men be advised to aeeeP Ait ic offer which had been made, viz., a free passage t o f' o to rica, and £4 on their landing. Mr. Taylor went on show the sound policy of this course, as it was n ot ble that the refugees could find employment in Liverrip e e n e3 t on wi ife; already glutted with every description of labour... tic speech was interrupted frequently by expressions of He u w ,y. rence to their own country ; and while he heartily 9 Y t: • err° . thised with them, he told them they were 10 . 11 bl' he feared no opportunity would be afforded then 1 I theti en cfealol fallacy y the o f p atir,teovfi view the t a a k u e d n i e b n v ee t . h time of freeing their country.
