The Salut Public of Lyons says, that speculators on the Stock Exchange of that city lately employed swallows to convey from Paris news of the rising or falling of prices cn the Paris Bourse. The swallows were captured in their nests, and conveyed to Paris ' • from whence, on bei ng 'released, they hastened back with extraordinary instinct to their nests. MIRACULOUS PRESERVATION.—The Rokeby, f rom th e . . arnved at the port of Bristol, encountered auritius on her homeward voyage a fearful storm, in which t captain, the chief mate, and two of the crew were wash overboard. The captain and mate perished, but by t of the wave the men were again thrown preserved deck, and were thus almost miraculously -as safely brought to her destination b second o THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—Accounts from the Sand wich Islands, dated October 19, announce the arrival of her Majesty's ship Herald.

BRAVING THE NIAGARA FALLS.—Last week (says the Montreal Herald,) a feat of heroic daring was performed above the falls of Niagara. Near the valley of Chippewa, and about two miles above the cataract, a boat with a little boy in it was seen drifting at a fearful rate down the current just above where the swift waters plunge int( terrible rapids, through which no boat ever lived. ' ; men leaped into a boat which lay at hand, and pulling gallantly out into the turbulent stream, they al UT ;mai. as iF 'wan young destruction. and rescued from it the small mariner, half dead with terror.

FIGHT WITH SEA-GULLS.—During the last week, the coasts of Normandy have been visited with heavy gales. The fishermen and inhabitants who dwell near the shore have seen their dwellings and vess.ls invaded by crowds of gulls. A fisherman asserts that, just as he was draw ing his nets, in which he - had a good take of fish, his boat was covered with gulls which came down to dispute with him his spoils.

LORD CLARENDON'S LETTS R.—The Irish Government journal published an authorised denial that any such letter had ever been received by Dr. Murray —a denial which, we trust, was not intended to convey that no such letter had been written by Lord Clarendon. The fact. however, of the writing of the letter being so clearly estab lished, the explanation now given is, that the letter, to whomsoever addressed, was not sent by his Excellency to Dr. Murray, but was placed in the hands of (whom, will our readers think ?) "the Coadjutor Archbishop of Corfu," to whom Dr. Murray himself tells us the frith Viceroy intrusted the statutes of the'new colleges, to be submitt6 to our Most Holy Father, and to whom Dr wishes us to believe the letter was addressed LAW u: ray INTELLIGENCE HEAVY DAMAGES—A special jury of London cit:zens - of .£.5,000 damages to Mr. James have given a verdic Bohn, the seller of rare books and manuscripts, against Sloman, thesherirs-officer of London, for an illegal and large por n .

NOVEL PROCEEDING.—On Sunday last, the Rev. Mr. Harper, the recently appointed vicar of Selby, after the usual morning service, took his place in the pulpit, and informed the congregation that he should that day com mence a practice which he had long intended to pursue, that of preaching a sermon, not of his own composition, but written by another person. His reasons for pursuing were, first t e were many sermons by Lest divines, which, in consequence of not being generally read, were rendered comparatively useless; and secondly, that the time which was occupied by the writing of so many sermons every week, might be employed by him in other useful matters connected with the ministry. The reverend gentleman then read from a printed book a sermon, which be said he had heard preached with great effect in the Cambridge University. The sermon was on the subject of sin, and was evidently a production of no common order in regard to merit.— Doncaster Gazette. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

RAILWAY AFFAIRS. A etal bridge, now in course of erection at the Chet wyndviaduet, the Cork and Bandon railway, will, when ompleted, be within ten feet of the height of the Britani a tubular bridge. The oroner's jury have returned a verdict of man slaughte against the guard of the luggage-train on the York amNorth-Midland Railway, for the death of a pas senger thpugh a collision caused by his negligence. James infield, engine-driver, who was recently com mitted to rison on the charge of occasioning one of the recent acci6nts on the Eastern Counties Railway, has been set at hefty, it being the opinion of the magistrates that the Comany's rules were in fault. Tha Times sys that only a short time since an immense quantity of haywas carried by railway from the midland and southern ctir.ties of England to London, where it was shipped anc.conveyed to Oran, and thence many miles into the intc ior, for the use of the French cavalry.

In ends return, he missed his hold, and fell with his legs acru the rail, when the train passed over him, and inflicted such severe injuries that he died shortly afterwards. !avouring to POLITICAL MISCELLANY. Lord John Russell will give his first parliamentary din ner on the 15th instant. Lord John Russell has received an invitation to Wind sor Castle for Wednesday. Mr. R. Bromley's death has created a vacancy in the representation of South Nottinghamshire. 'The Times, apparently from authority, states that the window duty will be repealed next session, and that the duty on paper will be considered. f resigning his seat for Maidstone, Fector Laurie, Esq., banker, of Dover, has consented to be put in nomination- - Although a period of four weeks has yet to elapse be fore the assembling of Parliament, the Ministerial leader in the House of Lords has, thus early forwarded his cir cular earnestly requesting the attendance at the opening of the session of the Irish Peers who support the policy of the present Government. The appointment of Sir James Emerson Tennant to the Governorship of St. Helena is a practical and unmis takeable censure on Lord Torrington, who had at the eleventh hour endeavoured to exonerate himself from censure by throwing all the blame of his maladministra tion of Ceylon on the Secretary. It shows that Sir J.

He also joins with them in their " claim that Ireland shall not be excluded from participation in whatever defensive mea sures may be adopted for the purpose of protecting Great Britain against the encroachments and usurpations of the Bishop of Rome." After someliesitation, the Protestants of Ireland are getting up a general petition to the Queen on the subject of Papal aggression. CONVOCATION.-At the public meeting of clergy and laity on Tuesday next, to address the Queen and the Episcopal bench, praying for the revival of convocation, the following resolution will be proposed :—" That it is the opinion of this meeting, that the recent daring ag gression of the Pope is to be attributed, in a great mea sure, to the crippled state of the Church of England, the direct consequence of the long-continued suppression of her synodal functions ; that the Church of England can deal with this aggression only in her corporate capacity, that is to say, in her National Synod, which the 139th canon declares to be the true Church of England by re presentation ; and that, therefore, the present emer gency constitutes an additional plea for urging the revival of her synodal functions, upon the basis of the existing provincial Convocations of Canterbury and York." which ti Two county meetings were held on Thursday to protest Igainst the Papal aggression, namely, Oxfordshire and - ighareshire. The Marquis of Blandford, Earl Mr. Henley. M, P., and Lord A. Churchill, Nottin,, Abingdon, usual r were present at the Oxfordshire meeting. _ solutions were passed, but an Oxford tradesman, named said he wanted to see a resolution introduced Faulkner into the proceedings for a separation of Church and State. Mr. Langston, M.P., said the laity ought to have stirred sooner. At to Dr. Pusey, he said he had been convicted of nreaching Popish doctrines, which he had never re tracted ; and it was the duty of the Crown to take such steps as would prevent him from instilling those dreadful doctrines into the minds of the younger members of the University. An amendment was c a r r i e d f or l eav i ng o ut the word ." laity," they being charged with the clergy with having introduced the " superstitio us ceremonial and no velties ;" and Mr. Alderman Sadler announced that ninety , ers of the Oxford University had gone over to Rome —the exact number of the " Tracts." —At the Notting ham meeting Lord Newark and Mr. Barrow, the rival candidates for the representation of the southern appeared, and each spoke in terms of attachment to the Protestant faith. division, Cardinal Wiseman is shortly expected to visit Dublin and Armagh.

Mr. Laprimaudaye, late curate of Archdeacon Manning. has also made his profession at Marseilles. Romish confraternity men are assailing servant maids in various streets of London with appeals in favour of Popery. Several instances of priests, or Romauists in the garb of priests, thus addressing maid servants have oc curred in Hanover-street and other streets in the west end. MR. BENNETT'S RESIGNATION.—An erroneous im pression appears to have gone abroad that the Rev. W. J. E. Bennett is inclined to retract his offer of resign. ing his living. We have authority to state that this is not the case; and as soon as the necessary arrangements are made we are assured that the rev, gentleman will be ready to complete his resignation.—Times. ANOTHER CHANGE IN " THE TIMES."—The London Times has now sadly modified the high Pretestant tone it assumed a few weeks since. It ridicules, in the most of fensive terms, the idea of a United Church of England and Ireland, instituting a contrast between the two establish ments, full of scorn towards the Irish one, and sneaking most ominously of "the tottering position of the unpeo pled Establishment of the Protestant Church in Ire. land." CARDINAL WISEMAN'S ECCLESIASTICAL VESTMENTS. —There was, last week, lying in the transit shed of the Nelson Dock, a case containing a most remarkable de scription of import—no other than a complete outfit for a Cardinal. The box contained a full complement of sacerdotal robes, shipped at Genoa on board the Rattler, for his eminence Cardinal Wiseman, including the hat of more than Quaker dimensions in the brim, a mitre, the much-talked-of pallium, and red stockings, besides nume rous habiliments whose purpose would be unknown to any but a Roman Catholic ecclesiastic. The vestments are of the most ec6tly and superb description conceivable. The delay in their delivery is accounted for from the ne cessity of communicating with his eminence, who will be required to certify that the vestments are intended for ecclesiastical purposes solely, otherwise a duty would he demanded on the materiel—foreign manufactured silk. Besides the habiliments referred to, several suits of live ries, intended for the ofbchal attendants of hie eminence, am Lao contained in the the one outburst of the heart. brair Pope!"

It may be enough to refer to Poland, to Bohemia, and to Navarre. But no one who really knows anything of the annals of Christi anity will maintain such a doctrine as that Protestantism, once planted in a country, may defy the efforts of Rome. We are happy to observe that Lord Fitzwilliam, in his last speech at Huntingdon, showed a better knowledge of the philosophy of the case than these Leeds Dissenters. His lordship said—" There was a great deal in the Roman Catholic religion which made it a favourite with the heart of man. It was that to which he looked with alarm. (Hear, hear.) It was that against which be wished to guard them, and to call upon them to be on the alert.

Permit me to suggest a re-reading of your eloquent burst of indignation on Sunday last, thus ;—At a ti me when it is difficult to find even one man honestly to acquit deliberate concealment of a known conspiracy to murder— when by a process of enlightenment in accordance with Scriptural truth we have been purging society of the fic titious distinctions in sin, and the Jesuitical a p o l og i es f or crime, which so long characterised a debased and demo ralised Church—that we should have seen a minister of religi-- tion for make known to us ti OM lama and obtain absolution. (Hear, hear.) He therefore told them—what perhaps might not have occurred to some of them—that the dangers of the Roman Catholic religion were to be found in the hearts and vices of mankind. That was the true danger." Those who argue, as some are fond of doing, that truth and error being fairly placed before mankind, truth must prevail, must assume, as their first principle, that the heart of man is in a state of neu trality at least, if not prepared to " choose the good, and to murder, he could not interpose by word or deed to prevent its terrific accomplishment—that there still live men who believe that it is doing God service to give wide circulation to deliberate calumny, and to lie against here tics with their eyes open ! If you will read this in your next lecture, I think I may venture to predict that all those among your hearers who have read the newspapers with intelligence for the last month, will perceive to whom the application belongs with more readiness, justice, and truth than they did when you gave them your own version. Man's refuse the evil." But this is contrary to the fact heart is not even neutral. Satan has dominion over it, from the first, except in the case of the regenerate, who, it will be granted, are the few—not the many. But surely the lessons of Scripture must be strangely forgotten by those who speak thus confidently. Not forgetting the Epistles to the Seven Churches, what says St. Peter's own history ? " Though all men should deny thee, yet will not I ! " Such was the confident tone of an apostle, and yet that same apostle, before twelve hours bad elapsed, feared before a servant-maid, and denied with an oath, saying, " I do not know the man." Strange, that a Christian minister, with this lesson in his hand, can ex claim, " England become Popish ! Impossible ! " I have the honour to be, most rev. sir, your eminence's foully-calumniated and very determined opponent, for Christ's sake, HUGH AI•NEILE. Liverpool, Jan. 1, :831, SPEECH OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF CUM. BERLAND ON THE ROMAN CATHOLIC QUESTION, DELI VERED IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS, ON THURSDAY, FEB. 19TH, 1829.—" I can assure your lordships that I never felt more unwilling to trespass on your attention than on the present occasion, and nothing but the duty I feel I owe to your lordships—to the country—and to myself, could have made me stand up on the presen occasion MORE ROMISH PROSELYTISM. — On Friday an apple. cation was made to the magistrates at the Town. hail, Leicester, under circumstances which have excited great But, my lords, I have always been willing to speak out on this subject, and ever shall be, for I think it a duty I owe to the country to let it know what my feelings are. It shall no longer be said that I am this thing, or that, but shall be known distinctly what I am. It is painful, be lieve me, my lords, to differ from my noble friend (the Duke of Wellington), with whom I have been so lo ng united in the bonds of private friendsh ip. But 1 cannot change an opinion which I conscientiously think to be right, and more especially, my lords, when the question is, as it undoubtedly is in the present case, neither more nor less than this—is England to be a Protestant or a Popish country ? (Loud cheers.) For, my lords, the very moment we admit one Roman . Catholic into this house or into the other house of parlTment, I maintain that this becomes not a Protestant parliament. (Cheers.) I have carefully and attentively viewed this . question every way in the world in which it has been cons idered ; and the result is, that I never will give my . consent either to a Ro man Catholic peer sitting in this house, or a Roman Catholic member sitting in the other house, or to any Roman Catholic being a minister of the crown, or to a Roman Catholic lord lieutenant of Ireland , ndtooolbinniliegi ssdowt stating iaa t enjt o egmhs any Roman Roman Catholic holding any office that may give him government. ty e in op thanpo w i n e io r ln t ds o o injur el; aed t nl. h N o e tamoma show Established choocnwa.v ni nn respect Church. eoesdpheto chstat thi going to do, it will cost him a great deal of painful feel ing ; hut, as an honest man, I f ee l i t my d uty to s t a t e openly my op inion s , and I trust th a t y our l or d s hips will excuse me for detaining you while I repelled the insinua hich it was necessary I should no longer suffer to W. Napier Reeve, who appeared on behalf of a widow lady named Douglas, now residing in Leicester, said,—On the death of her husband, the lady went over to Inland, and by obtaining a situation as governess, con trived to support herself and to bring up two children, daughters, in a respectable manner. On their growing up these daughters were put to the millinery and dress making business, and they, with their mother, subse quently came to Leicester, the lady having letters of re commendation from several clergymen of the Irish church to the Rev. E. T. Vaughan, vicar of St. Martin's, land to some other ciergymen. The daughters obtained situations at the millinery establishment kept by the Misses Reeve, and, in the fulfilment of her duties the younger of the two, named Jane Douglas, who is in her 21st year, had occasion to visit various draper's shops in the town. Amongst others, she went to the shop of Mr. Brady, who, being au Irishman, and Miss Douglas having resided the greater part of her life in Ireland, became more intimate with her than was usual with other cus tomers. Mr. Brady was a catholic, and Miss Douglas, with her mother and sister, were protestants. On Christmas-day Mr. Brady invited Miss Douglas to dine at his house, to which the mother was opposed, not wish ing to have her small family circle broken up on that day. At the pressing solicitations of Mr. Brady, however, she left home, and it had since been found that the invitation to dinner was a pretence to obtain an opportunity to take her to the Holy Cross Chapel, where she was that day interest as a me-mhf atholic chnrc '' returned home without intortning her mother of what-1 ~,,n be rn anyMonnmconfined AND to words ; and as there is IittIe CARDINALbADINAL WISEMAN:An Irish had transpired, and on Sunday morning last accompanied controversy is generally an amusing affair, when the co hor mother t o the protestant church as usual. n the batanta evening of that day she declined to go to church, and chance of a lady and a Prince of the Church—genuine remained at home alone.
