PROMOTION OF THE VIRGIN.—It is officially announced that "the Sovereign Pontiff, being desirous of giving to the most Holy Virgin Mary a mark of his gratitude for the deliverance of Rome, rescued last year by the French troops from the enemies of the church, on the day of Vi sitation," has :elevated that festival to the double rite of the second class. The cholera, after carrying off about 30,000 persons, appears suddenly to have declined throughout the whole of the regency of Tunis. Nearly all the victims were Arabian nomades, who come up every year for the harvest. Much corn will be lost this year, for while the fields are standing in rich luxuriance, the crops cannot be gathered in for want of labourers. Lola Montes, notwithstanding her sudden disappear ance from the sumptuous apartments she furnished in the Beaujon quarter, seems to be still lingering in the neigh bourhood of Paris. Her presence in the suburbs is said to have been detected by the police from the frequent visits of her maid to the Monte-de-Piete with lace and jewels to pledge. In March last a small cutter called the William and James, employed in the coasting trade of New Zealand, while on a trip to Nelson, was seized by the crew, who sent the captain adrift in the boat, the object of the pirates being to proceed with the vessel to California. The cap tain succeeded in reaching a whaling station at Queen Charlotte's Sound, whence two boats started in chase of the pirates, captured them, and delivered them to the authorities at Wellington for trial. SAN JUAN FERNANDEZ.—ROBINSON CRUSOE.—A California emigrant, in a letter to the Belfast Signal, writes—" At sunrise, on the 11th of March, we made for the island of Juan Fernandez, celebrated as the residence -of Al .xander Selkirk, and as the Botany Bay of Chili. It has only twelve inhabitants, five men and seven women, all Chilians, with the exception of one man, Governor of the island, a native of Maine. Peaches are large and abundant, and compose the principal food of the inhabi tants. The valley in which Selkirk lived is pointed out. and also the caves in the sides of the mountains formerly occupied by the Chilian convicts. DANGERS OF BALLOONING IN SPAIN.—The Corunna papers mention a fact that shows in what state of igno rance and brutality the Galician labourers are still plunged. Madame Sanges, who had made an ascent in her balloon, descended near the village of &tangos. Here the peasants, with a priest at their head, brutally assaulted the poor woman, alleging she was the devil ; and, had she not been defended by some more civilised than the rest, she would probably have been killed. The governor of Corunne has rendered the village pecuniarily responsible for the damage done to the balloon, and has Bent the culprits to prison. We learn from Genoa that the papers seized in the search made in the dwelling of the archbishop, and also those in the hands of the Cervite monks, have furnished the magistrates of Turin with the basis of an accusation ..of a very serious nature. A criminal action will be in stituted against the archbishop, who, quite independently of any religious question, will be brought to trial as a conspirator. It is said that the charges are sufficiently serious, and that each day brings to light some fresh in trigue. The decision of the court of Rome in this affair is not yet known. The Pope, after a long deliberation on this point with Cardinal Antonelli, was unable to arrive at eny immediate decision. He promised to have ano ther meeting on the 16th, after the fetes of the Assump tion, " in the hope," said his Holiness, " of inspiration from the Holy Virgin." SAINT WORSHIP.—The feast of Peter Fourier, the Saint of Lorraine, has just been celebrated at Mattam court, Vosges, as the Univers informs us, "in the midst of an ever-increasing assemblage of faithful and pious pilgrims." There never were, perhaps, so many collected together to venerate and give the kiss of peace to the re lics of this venerable apostle, the process of whose canoni sation is now pending at Rome. The festival was pro longed nine days, during which period the faithful were frequently exhorted by two priests of the Society of Jesus, and the confessors were hardly able to hear the numbers who crowded the holy tribunal. A new and beautiftd gothic church, of the style of the thirteenth cen tury (France), is being erected to accommodate the people of the place and the strangers who daily seek the holy shrine of the blessed Peter Fourier. An English trans's.

Next year's meet- BRUTALITY OF SLAVERY.—WiIIiam Williams, a black cted as coachman to the three Pi 1:+1llmore, Taylor, and Yolk, is himself free, having re cently succeeded in purchasing h!s freedom ; but his wife, his three daughters, and his three grandchildren are owned by some one in New Orleans, and have just been seized at Washington by a slave-trader and carried away south. " The poor man," says one of the American papers, "wrung his hands, rolled on the ground, and was nearly crazed, by the dreadful parting." Ile acted, in fact, much as a white man would have done if he had been suddenly robbed of his wife and children. The President, feeling deeply for his distress, gave him money, and let him go to Baltimore to his wife and children. There he met with them, and also with the slave-dealer who had carried them away, who offered to sell them to him for the sum of 3,200 dollars. He immediately re turned to 'Washington, and by the kindness of the Presi dent, and other good friends, succeeded in raising as much money as enabled him to buy his wife and his three daughters. The three children were still in the hands of the slave-dealer, who demands 1,500 dollars for each of them. It was uncertain whether Williams would be able to raise the sum for their redemption. This cruel case, occurring at Washington, and to a man so well known as the servant of three successive Presidents, had produced a strong feeling of disgust and indignation H ORRTI3LI ACCIDENT TO A RAILWAY TRAIN.— BREAKING OF AN IRON BRIDGE.—On the 31st of July an awful accident occurred in the United States by the breaking of an iron ge on t tailway 1 small stream called Huribures Brook, runs through a ravine, which was crossed by an iron bridge of C 5 feet span. The train was freighted with 113 oxen and a quantity of sheep and pigs.. Belonging to the train were the engineer, his assistant, and several breaksmen. There were seventeen cars, besides the engine and tender. At the time the train approached:the bridge it was going at an ordinary rate ; but the engine had just got off the solid track when the engineer heard a crack and felt something giving way, whereupon he put on additional steam, and succeeded in getting the engine, which was a powerful one, upon the other side ; but just as he had cleared the bridge it went down with a crash, carrying the tender with it : the cars following tumbled into the abyss one after another, until fifteen of them, with their contents, were piled up in the gap. The engineer and his assistant saved themselves by jumping cff on either side of the engine. Their breaks man, whose name was Patrick Tice, went down and was buried among the cattle and broken cars. Mr. Clapp, a promising young man, about nineteen years of age, also went down with them, and was instantly killed, by the dis location of the vertebrae of the neck. The scene, just after the accident had occurred, is described by those who wit nessed it, as being piteous in the extreme, and horrible to behold. There were a hundred noble oxen writhing in torture, and making the whole mass active by their throes, made in the vain endeavour to extricate themselves. Some with their horns broken off, some with their backs broken, and some only held fast by masses of the ruin being piled upon their limbs. Their - cries are represented as having been at the same time heartrending and hideous. DISPUTES BETWEEN TfIE GOVERNMENT AND THE PRIESTHOOD IN PIEDMONT.—Some years ago there was none of the kingdoms of Italy that was more completely priest-ridden than Piedmont. The king and the govern ment were under the control of the Roman Catholic clergy : and travellers who visited the grand and beautiful valleys of that romantic country, were not permitted to worship together as Protestants, and were to suffer perse cution if they ventured to give away a few copies of the Scriptures, or otherwise to interfere with the Church of Rome, in its established spiritual despotism. Since the late revolution in Italy, a remarkable change has taken place. The young king has asserted his independence of the priests, and the government have supported him, so also have the more democratic of his subjects. The Archbishop of Turin was, some time since, prosecuted for a libel, and the priesthood, backed by the Pope, retaliated by excommunicating the government, and denying to the members of it the sacraments. The government have re torted by imprisoning the Archbishop in a fortress, and by sequestrating the property of the order to which he belongs. 'Whatever may be the issue of these disputes, it is not commonly by such methods that truth prevails, and its cause promoted. There would, indeed, be great reason for rejoicing if religious liberty were introduced into those fastnesses and retreats ; where pure Christianity found a refuge from the corruptions of Roman-ism, and suffered and resisted in the person of its martyrs, the Church of Rome. It is possible that the events now passing in Sardinia may be the furtherance of the true Gospel ; but it will only be so if we find the Piedmontese, both high and low, throwing off, not merely the yoke of ecclesiastical tyranny, but taking upon themselves the easy yoke of pure Christianity. As yet, we only see two classes of Romanists quarreling with each other ; the one with ecclesiastical, the other with political, weapons.

To her the application of Mr. M'Clay was shown ; she at once filled up the blank application, and a correspondence ensued, which ended in her leaving New York, in company with a number of other missionaries, on the 12th of March last, in the ship Tartar, for Hong- Kong, where she will be met by Mr. M'Clay, and the nuptial ceremony will be solemnised. The lady's personal attractions have been described to us by one who had the pleasure of seeing her p rev i ous t o " • . taking sail on her mission of love. She is described as being beautiful and fascinating in appearance, and pos sessed of that charm of loveliness which should adorn every female character—a well-cultivated mind, stored with the richest gifts of knowledge from the fountain of education, and a moral refinement which will bear with it the jewel of a bright inheritance beyond the confines of time.—American Paper. POLITICAL MISCELLANY. The conservatives of the county of Cambridge have re solved to bring forward Mr. Serjeant Byles as a candidate. Mr. Cowling has issued an address to the electors of Cambridge University. He is a Protectionist. Captain Montague Merryweather Turner, who con tested Poole at the last election, is now canvassing that borough on the Protectionist interest. Mr. Walpole Las been requested by about fifty non- resident members of Cambridge University to become a candidate for its representation in Parliament. He is a high Churchman. Lord John Russell stated, before the committee on of ficial salaries, that when he got into office he got into debt, where he had never been before, and it was the Duke of Bedford, ar.d not the nation, that supported him in an upright manner. TEE PEACE CONGRESS.—Lord Brougham once told Mr. Hindley that the members of the Peace Congress were " the greatest fools in the world." Whatever our own opinion may be, we might have hesitated before ex pressing it quite so tersely as the noble and learned lord. But since the word has been said, we will only add that a great many people are of Lord Brougham's way of think ing upon this point.--Times. Mr. Headlam, M.P., attended a meeting of the New castle and Gateshead Parliamentary Reform Association the other day, and gave an account of his stewardship, after which a vote approving of his conduct was about to be put, when it was opposed by a Chartist, who proposed an amendment. One Mr. Liddel, the corypheus of the association, became very wroth at this, and at his instiga tion the unfortunate Chartist was dragged out of the room. ABUSES AT THE MINT.-It appeared in evidence before the parliamentary commission that the moneyers, who are a company in the Mint, have been in the receipt of enormous profits. From the year 1842 to 1847, the pro fits, on their own acknowledgment (they refused to pro duce their books), amounted to the almost incredible sum of £105.187 12s. 11d., divided among five persons. Though for several years previous to 1842 their profits were not so large as during the five years we have named, yet they were very enormous, and far above what they ought to have been. Indeed most of the subordinate officers of the Mint appear to make profits on a scale quite incommensurate with all notions of fitness or jus tice. The profits of the melter, for instance, who is the clerk of the Alaster of the Mint, amounted from 1828 to to 1847. to £49,650 7s. lid., or to more than £2,600 a year. Our readers may ask who are the five moneyers who for several years have been receiving an income of more than £25,000 a year ? The moneyers are, as they allege (but this is denied by the Master of the Mint and by the Attorney-General, who has gi ven an o pi n i on i n a contrary sense), a corporation. They have existed in their present capacity for three or four centuries. The Master of the Mint contracts with them for the coinage, and the contract entered into in tFe year 1770, 80 years ago, subsists to the present day. The great profits of the moneyers have arisen from a contract made with the Master of the Mint, which the Premier has the power of terminating at three months' notice, but no Master of the Mint ever „directed his attention to this ,ahuse tll Mr. Sheil was appointed to his office in NM. at I must s pu tear thing to Tom Reynolds.

But it would seem as if the work of the Hols Spirit had been enti • theology by attributing to Christ's manhood that which is in scripture ascribed to the Holy Ghost. THE BISHOP OF EXETER'S LAST LETTER.—I am per suaded that I express the sentiments of thousands among the laity in saying that it is a great relief to us to learn. from the Bishop of Exeter's letter to the churchwardens of Bramford Speke, that we are allowed to hare some judgment in matters of doctrine ; and as we are invited by his lordship to judge of Mr. Gorham's doctrine, and Are told that it would be a dereliction of duty not to do so, we must of necessity form a judgment of the opposite doctrine; that we may discriminate between the sound and the unsound ; and so are compelled to examine and weigh the doctrines propounded by the Bishop of Exeter. — Correspondent. THE PEW SYSTEII2.—We stated a few weeks since that Mr. Handcock of Yeovil had demanded from the church wardens a pew in the church suitable to his position in life. The Bishop of the diocese (Bath and Wells) on having the case referred to him. decided that the pew system was clearly illegal, and that every parishioner was entitled to a seat in the parish church without fee or pay ment of any kind. On this the churchwardens called a vestry meeting for advice, at which a very long discussion took place without developing any practical effect. At length a Mr. Vining offered to give up for ever the pos session of a pew which he held in the north gallery, with the view of enabling them to seat Mr. Handcock. This compromised the matter, but of course does not decide the legal point of the question. DR. 31`NEILE AND THE TRACTARIANS. The following is a letter from the Rev. Dr. M'Neile to a clergyman who had written to him, citing from the doctor's publications several bold and uncompromising statements against latitudinarian indifference, and asking if it could be possible that the author of such statements bad expressed his approval of the recent judgment of the Privy Council in the case of " Gorham v. the Bishop of Exeter 1' This is, we understand, only one among many commu nications of the same character which have been made to the reverend doctor. To judge by this answer, we are of opinion that his tractarian correspondents have " taken nothing by their motion," as the lawyers have it " Liverpool, 24th August, 1550. " Reverend Sir,—l have been in Ireland for some time, or I would at an earlier date have acknowledged your letter, and replied to it in that spirit of Christian candour and courtesy which you invoke. I do cordially approve of a d thankfully rejoice in the recent judgment of the Pi ivy Council. You seem to think that such approval would be inconsistent with the strong and reiterated denunciations of latitudinarian prin ciples contained in my speeches and writings. Ido not agree with you, and I will briefly tell you why. I cannot command time to go largely into the subject, I detest the latitudinarian ism which makes light of any Word of God, and of course that which would deal even-handed with Popery, and Socinianism, and Christianity. Against this I have written and spoken, and hope again to write and speak, just in such terms as you have quoted from my books. I equally detest the narrow-minded bigotry which would exalt any rubrick, or canon, or catechism, or prayer, of man's composition, into the place of a Word of God. Concerning the efficacy of baptism upon infants—con cerning the baptism of infants at all, I do not know any one Word of God. It is never once mentioned in Holy Scripture. The antiquity of the practice is undoubted as a matter of fact, and I very cordially agree with those who think it most agree able with the institution of Christ.' But all that men have written about its efficacy, the quando and the quomodo, is no more and no better than inference—inference honestly drawn, let us grant, but certainly fallibly, and by some erroneously, since all do not infer alike. He who elevates any such infer ence into the place and authority of a Word of God, and there upon pronounces an opposing inference to be heresy, seems to me to arrogate infallibility (at least in this instance) to himself. The recent judgment of the Privy Council has checked such arrogance. therefore I rejoice in it. I may express my corn ' bined convictions thus—in divine truth no latitude; in human inferences no bigotry. Is the proper Godhead or the true hu manity of the Saviour the question ? Is the atonement the question ? Is the divinity, personality, or agency of the Holy Ghost the question ? Is the bowirg down before images the question ? Is anything on which God has plainly spoken the question ? Then. after the first and second admonition, reject the heretic. But is the efficacy of baptism to infants the ques tion ? or anything else on which God has not spoken ? Then inferences may vary, and he who, o n e ith er s id e, wou ld excom - , municate, is himself the schismatic. Your inference that man must be entirely irresponsible under the Christian dispensa tion, it there be such a thing as a prevenient or arbitrary act of grace untied to means,' appears to nee to be utterly unfounded, nay ludicrously absurd; but I would be sorry to call you, or think of von as, a heretic for holding it. My inferences on the snbject, as you will find them detailed in the chapter on bap tism, in my book entitl e d The Church and the Churches , ' will probably °PAM' tp yv a to be wholly unsound, but I hope you power in such ar Lerman wound neverance wort y of a better ficant to gerate bey •esent him nd weighty."

They only become fo midable when viewed as the details of a concerted syster You, Mr. Archdeacon, and your colleagues in this pre sent matter, may perhaps disclaim participation in all these objects, or sympathy with all these proceedings. But your weight is thrown into the same scale, and " nos cimur a sociis" is a tolerably correct rule. Plain-dealing honesty is seldom a good casuist, and will hardly be refined enough to pause upon the hair-splitting distinction be tween a Tractarian " secundum quid," and a Tractarian " simpliciter." A concluding word, and I have done. The disciple of that philosophy that "teaches by exam ple," cannot fail to observe the close parallellism, if not the accurate identity, bet w e e n the prin c ipl es urged forward so precipitously now, and those that about two centuries ago involved in such dread calamity, alike the Crown, the Church, and the nation of England. Then, as now, the attempt was made to substitute the Church and her ordi nances for the Saviour and his Spirit ; the traditions of the fathers for the sure teaching of the Scriptures ; and, in short, to elevate the outward form above the hidden power of vital godliness. Happily and mercifully for us, a different spirit prevails now over the Throne, its ad visers, anti the primacy, from that which ruled them then ; the movement principles are discouraged now where they were countenanced before. And however the duplicity and indecision of the former Charles may be forgotten in the earnestness of his repentance, and in the awful and calamitous retribution that at last overtook him, still the solemn lesson left to us must never be forgotten, nor the tendency of the same principles, if not counterbalanced, to reproduce the same disastrous results. " The thing that bath been is that which shall be, and there is no new thing under the sun." True, and most humbly do we thank God for it, no revolution or convulsion is to be ap prehended now. But that is owing to the good sense and to the good feeling of the nation, and to the confidence it reposes in the quiescent body of the Church, more than to the discretion or forbearance of the movement party in the Church. How exquisitely appropriate is that suffrage in our matchless Liturgy ? `• Endue thy ministers with right eousness, and make thy chosen people joyful." How fervently ought our hearts to echo it ? For, should it ever be permitted, in an evil hour, that these Romish principles should rise to ascendancy within our Church, we shall not be far from that state of things so aptly described by Bishop Warburton as the precursor of a nation's down fall, " when religion has lost its hold upon the respect and affections of the people." Your Circular and declaration are concerning a particu lar case. I have ventured in reply to touch upon the more general problem under which they are included. My apology for doing so is to be found in the paramount and absorbing importance of the interests involved. I have the honour to remain, Your obedient servant, THOMAS NOLAN, AM., Minister of St. John's Chapel, Bedford-row. Vestry, St. John's, August 26, 1850.

"The instructions No. 21, 1850, .which have been in force since the 23d of June last, relative to the Sunday postal arrangement', are now canc elled ; and the regulations laid down in the previous instructions, No. 1, 1850, a copy of which is annexed, are to be reverted to on and from the Ist day of September next, and must be carefully observed in every par ticular until further orders, all modifications on points of detail being reserved for subsequent consideration. "Copy of Instructions No.l, January, 1850.
