AND COLONI,IL. AUSTRIA. GROSS TYRANNY.—A case of considerable hardship has just occurred to an American citizen, named Brace, that.may be useful as a warning to future travellers. Mr. Brace is a young gentleman of literary pursuits, and in June last was travelling in Hungary for the •purpose of studying its political institutions on the spot. Several exiles had requested him to see their relations, that he might bring some news frcm their home ; and amongst his luggage he had a card conveying the briefest possible introduction from General Czecz to a friend, a letter from Eugenitis 13 , eqiv to his brother, Dr. Schiitte's: book and Madame Pulsky's. At Grosswardein, openly, in reply to an open question at a table d'h6te, he expressed some ad miration of the colony founded by General Ujham whom personally he did not. know. At Perth he was arrested, twenty-six hours after his arrival, the order for his arrest having been given five hours after he crossed the frontier. He was examined by the police. His vet y condour excited suspicion; his knowledge of persons opposed to.the Patriot p ar ty was pronounced to be a screen;" the brevity of General Czecz's introduction disguised "a complot;" and, carrying out this spirit to the full, the Commissary of Police continually gave to Mr. Brace's answers an inter pretation the exact opposite to that which they aifirmed. He was lodged in prison. Though an Englishman, how ever, he managed to convey a knowledge of his situation to Mr. M'Curdy, the American minister; and it was not until that gentleman had threatened to demand his pass ports, that Mr. Brace was liberated. He describes his situation thus—" I have been treated, till within a few days, like a common criminal against the Government. For three days 'I was closely shut up in a tniserablequarter, where my body was so eaten with fleas, that it looks as if I had a frightful disorder. After that I was allowed to associate with other criminals, and to walk with them an hour a-day, between two lines of soldiers. No bodks or writinc , have been permitted me. After sixteen daye of this I was allowed a rather better quarter, though still FOREIGN closely confined?' Accounts from 'Upper Austria, parts of the Tyrol, and Transylvania, speak of inundations such as have been rarely witnessed. _ _ _. . . . • Advices from Vienna, of the 14th instant, announce the expulsion from that. city. and from the Austrian dorni :lions generally. of !Ir. Warrens, late Consul-General of the United States of America, and for the last few years proprietor and editor of the Lloyd newspaper. It is as serted that the order for his expulsion emanated from the Ealp r :r himself, and its cause is to be found in the oppo ition Mr. Warrens has shewn to some measures of the government. SPAIN The Madrid Gazette contains a Royal decree declaring that the prince or princess to be born of the Duchess of 3lontpensier shall be entitled to all the prerogatives of an Infant of Spain. Accounts from Madrid, of the 16th instant, mention ru mours of an impending crisis, in consequence of a misun 43erstanding among the Ministers, owing partly to the numerous intimations they had received as to the state of public opinion respecting their policy, partly to other and 'more pressing causes, which are kept secret. THE CHOLERA.—A letter from Madrid, under date August 13, says—" The cholera has reached the Spanish possession of Melilla, opposite to Malaga, as it appears by a letter from the latter place, of the )3th instant ; and it is to be feared, unless some great change in the weather takes place, that the Peninsula itself will not escape its visitation. The heat is intense at present. the thermometer rising to 35 dee. of Reaumur, or nearly 111 deg. of Fahrenheit. in the hottest part of the day, and it has been observe q at that temperature at two p.m., several days this week." The council general of health at Genoa has directed that arrivals from the ports of Morocco shall be subjected to a quarantine of twelve days, owing to the cholera having penetrated into that empire from Algeria, it having been ascertained that at Ouchela, in particular, there are 20 to 25 deaths from cholera per day—a large proportion, con eidering the small number of inhabitants. A manola of Madrid, a few days ago, sent a challenge to a fair rival who had supplanted her in the favour of a wealthy admirer. The successful admirer unhesitatingly agreed to fight, and both parties chose seconds of their own sex. Fearing that the, smell of gunpowder might prove disagreeable to them, the combatants resolved to use fencing swords ; they also determined to fight un til one or the other should be killed. They went to the ground each with a pair of fencing swords, and in case they should fail, n pair of poignards. They Were just ready for action when two police officers came up, and took them and their seconds into custody. But one of the men hav ing called to mind that the lair, though forbidding duels between men, said nothing of duels between Women, ex pressed a doubt whether they were warranted in making the arrest. It was accordingly determined to release the women, but a pledge was eructed from them that they would not renew the combat, ITA LY A letter from Rome states that Count Alexander Calm thine, minister of war during the Republic, who was con demned to imprisonment for a long term of years, is im mediately to he released from confinement, on the inter cession of Baron Usedom, the able Minister of Prussia to the " Holy See." . A very singular meteor was observed on the evening of the 2d instant, over the city of Ferrara, about half-past ten o'clock, in the form of a fiery globe, which seemed to pass just above the summits of the tallest edifices in the , direction of south-east to north-west, leaving behind a long train of light, and gradually losing itself in spice. The whole city was illumined by it as if it had been noon day; and it was remarked that the lamps above which the meteor passed were extinguished by its influence. At 14 minutes past one in the morning a slight undulatory shock of an earthquake was felt by the inhabitants of the city, but no demise was done. At the same moment the shock was telt at Milan, Venice, and Verona.' The ecclesiastical authorities at Naples, at the sugees tion of Rome, have addressed the government for permis sion to establish ecclesiastical tribunals which shall be empowered to punish offences against the Roman Catholic religion. They also ask for powers to punish those who neglect confession—in a word, to establish a Holy Office, or Inquisition. An Austrian frigate, conveying the router brother of the Emperor of Austria, has arrived in Naples. His royal highness proceeded to Gaeta to visit his Neapolitan ➢ia- TURKEY The Kane,. Zeilung has advices from Vienna of the 15th instant, announcing the appearance of a British fleet, strider Admiral Parker, off Tunis. 'lbis event has caused a profounsl sensation at Vienna, for it is thought to have some connection with Lord Palmerston's speech on Ori ental affairs. t ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA. LATEST FROM AMERICA AND SAN FRANCISCO. By the arrival of the British and North American royal mail steam-shin Niagara, Capt. Stone, we have received at3vices from New York to the 13th instant inclusive, and from San. Francisco to the 15th July. The Niagara left New York on the 13th at noon, and arrived in the river on Sunday, at. 1.30 p.m., having made the passage in 10 days, 20 hours, and 45 minutes. She brought £7,400 g, and 09 passengers, among whom is Sir Henry Bulwer, on temporary leave of absence as her ty'sminister to the United States, and Mr. E. Bulwer. The whines from America are unimportant. The ex citement about the Cuban mission was fast dying away. The Icaders of the pronunciamento st, Havana had been shot. It was stated that Mr. Clay was about to retire from Congress. President Fillmore had visited Virginia, and met with a warm reception. The ship Jos. Badger, of -sterlin Lytto lidojes 800 for at New Orleans bar on the 3d instant She had cotton on board, and was hound for Liverpool. Subscriptions have been opened in New York for forming a steam line to Galway, but the proposal does not wear a promising aspect. Mr. Webb was corstructing a splendid vessel for the Liverpool Linde, named the Invincible, 20L0 tons register. Miss Lind was at Albany on the Bth, en route to the Niagara Falls. Several small failures had taken piece at Albany, Boston, &c. The receipts of gold st New York from California were expected to exceed those of any former period. It was anticipated that from the present month to January next, the bullion received would amount to 30.000 dollars W- from St. Domingo that the Emperor Sou ent two regiments of men and ammunition was thought of making another attack on with a view i the Dominicans, The insurrection at Matanzas had been completely sun pressed by the Spanish troops, and the rebels were reduced to the last extremity, and had taken refuge in the moun tains. Business was dull. _ _ Accounts from Coquimbo,. Chili, announce that the nglish ship Ecuador was totally lost on the 25th June. The was insured and no lives were lost. She ran on a rocky point with steam on, and backing off filled and sank. CALIFORNIA.—The Pacific U.S. mail steam-ship Paci ith 800,000 dollars gold dust on freight, 425 passen gers, and San Francisco mails of the 14th July, arrived, on the 29th ultimo, at New York, and landed her freight at San Juan del Sud. Her passengers took the Nicaragua route over the Isthmus. traversing the first fifteen miles by land, crossing Lake Nicaragua in the steam-ship Direc steaming down the river to San Juan in the iron alp Sir EL Bulwer. On arriving at San Juan, 32 hours only having been occu. , ied in crossing the Isthmus, tor. and steam -s1 they embarked on board the splendid U.S. steam-ship Prometheus, on the morninz of the 4th instant, and at 5 a.m., on the 13 ark, after ge trorn San Francisco of about twenty-nine days Hithert the ex pi The Pr( ), this route has not been used, and the result of riment has been regarded to most favourable. metheus took to New York, on freight, 578,579 :old dust and 360 passengers. ke the following from the New York Herald : smer Pacific, which made the remarkably short - "• rain for Panama, under command of Capt. been in port only twelve days.

The signal bell was sounded, and the populace rushed by hundreds to the building of the committee. At the hour appointed for the execution-Stewart was brought, strongly pinioned, and guarded by about 500 members of the com mittee, walking eight abreast, each armed with a revolver, taken to one of the public-.wharves, followed by thou sands, a rope adjusted to a tackle and crane erected for hoisting goods and swung between heaven and earth in full view of the assembled multitude. So solemn was the scene that each .head of that immense throng was involuntarily uncovered. No attempt was made to rescue him, nor was there any other feeling than that of entire concurrence. The execution took place at two o'clock in the afternoon. Previous to paying, the forfeit of Lis crime, Stuart made a full confession of his crimes. The details establish the fact that he was the leader of the most desperate gang of villains that has ever preyed upon a community. San 'Francisco is not the only point where summary iustice is meted out. Sonora is equ illy prompt. A man named David Hill, alias Jim Hill, was arrested for stealing a horse, tried, and, although subse quently rescued by Sheriff '.Works, was forcibly taken from him by the populace, after a hard struggle, and hung to a tree, in the main street of the town. But the tragedy which has excited most attention and sympathy was the hanging of a Mexican woman, named Josepha, at Downleville, on the Yuba, by the populace. Having had some difficulty with a miner, she stabbed him to the heart with a butcher's knife. The people immediately assem bled, took her into their custody, gave her a fair trial, and, upon a conviction, sentenced her to be hung in two hours. A gallows was erected on a ridge crossing the river, at the lower end of the town, and at the appointed hour an immense crowd assembled, and, after bidding adios and shaking hands with those immediately around her, she ascended the scaffold, adjusted the rope herself, releasing a luxuriant head of hair from beneath it, so as to permit it to flow free, and in a-moment the cords suspend ing the scaffold were cut, and she hung suspended between heaven and earth. Indian troubles are not yet ended. On the Klamath river the Indians are in open war with the whites, and are murdering and robbing whenever an opportunity offers. The Indians have sent off all the squaws and children, a fact indicative of their design to commence a general war. Business'haabeen a little more active since the sailing of the last steamer; but the immense quantity of goads forced upon the market, at auction, keeps prices very low." A San Francico journal, in its summary for tbesteamer , "The Mormons are making a decided movement towards establishing a direct communication from the Salt Lake to the Pacific. A large party have recently arrived from Salt Like through the Cajon Pass. about sixty files from Los Angeles, with an expressed determination to settle in that section. They are said to be negotiating for the purchase of a very fine rancho belonging 4o Senor An tonio Longo. The intelligence from the mines continues to be extremely encouraging, and a general spirit of con tentment seems to prevail among the miners. 'The effects of•the late fire in this city are yet perceptible. but the energy and enterprise of our citizens appears to be un abated. The burnt district, although not entirely rebuilt, is pretty thickly studded with tenements of all descrip. tions, and brick and stone buildings of the most substan tialcharacter are in process of creation in all parts:" One of the correspondents of a New York journal says, "The mines continue productive, though it has been remarked by a gentleman high in the confidence of government, who has recently returned from a ti ip through the mines, that the amount of money spent and to be ex pended the next three years in quartz rock machinery and experiments of variotis kinds, involving heavy expenditures, will exceed the profits of gold obtained therefrom in the subsequent three years of labour and toil. The subject is beginning to engage the attention of many of our citizens." A Nevada journal says, " To estimate the immense wealth which must, according to all indications, exist in the Gold Tunnel Quartz, we can scarcely realize the result which our figures give us. We give them as follows Surface length of vein. 150 feet; depth to which the same can he worked before reaching the water level of Deer Creek, 150 feet ; average thickness of the vein rock, 21 feet; number of cubic feet, according to the above dimensions. 101.500; weight of a cubic foot, 100 pounds ; average yield per pound, 25 cents ; consequent va►ue of gold contained in the 101,500 feet in the vein, 2,537,500 dollars :" Extract of a letter dated Stockton. June 27 :—There is, at the present time, a great excitement concerning the Quartz diggings, and some are taking out large sums, but the majority are barely making a living. From one hole at Carson's Fiat (70 mlies from here), four hundred thousand was taken in some two or three months, and it promises to continue equally rich, if not richer. But it puts a considerable damper on the spirits of a company to go down from forty to eighty feet and get nothing. which is often the case. A company of six had been working three weeks into a quartz mountain when 1 left the bar last Monday. They had got down some fourteen or fifteen feet and had found nothing so far. One of them had given it up. lam acquainted with them all; so that had they got anything I should have known it. A gentleman whom I am acquainted with here in the city, received a piece from Carson's yesterday, sent by his part ner, which weighed 25 ounces. lam at the present time alone when in the mines, all the rest having left, some for home and some for other mines. Generally speaking a man will do better to stay in one place, even if he should not make as much, for two or three hundred dollars are soon spent in moving from one place to another here. • The Brussels Exhibition of Fine Arts was opened on the Isth. As at Paris, the statues are distributed in the room containing the paintings. The number of paintings, statues, water-colour paintings, designs, minatures, &c., exhibited is 1479. At the last exhibition in 1848 there were 1187. LADIES IN CALIFORNIA.—No one can attend our houses of worship on the Sabbath, in this city, without being struck with surprise at the remarkable change which a few months have brought about in the character of our church congregations. The time was when to see a lady in church in San Francisco was a curiosity. Now, they make up more than one-third of each congregation in every church. The numerous private dwellings and cottages which skirt the busy streets of our city, and the constant increase of our retail shopping houses, are evidences of the presence of women amongst us. There is now as good fe male society in San Francisco as is to be found in any western or south-western city in the Atlantic States. The presence of woman in our midst is the only guarantee of permanent prosperity to our state, and good order and happiness among oir people.— California Courier. STEAM-PACKET ON FIRE.—A letter from Calmar (Sweden), states that on the night of the 10th the Got. land, packet steamer, with 71 passengers on board, put into that port on her way from Stockholm to Copenhagen, for the purpose of receiving such other passengers as might offer. Not less than 47 persons there came on board, and the vessel was to leave at two the next morn ing, when about midnight one of the cabins was dis covered to be on fire. The captain at once sent two men on shore to request to have the fire-engines brought down to the quay; but as neither the men nor the as sistance applied for appeared, and as the fire was rapidly gaining strength, the captain and officers resolved to scuttle the vessel and sink her. This was effected with great rapidity, the passengers having barely time allowed them to go on shore. The vessel has not yet been gotup, so that the amount of damage done is not known ; but it must be very considerable, as the furniture in the cabins, which was superb. has been in mest part destroyed. in cluding three grand pianofortes by Erard, of Paris. THE COURT, AND FASHION. ♦ The Earl and Countess of Ellesmere are entertaining a select circle at Worsley New Hall, Lancashire, where the noble earl arid family have arrived from the Isle of Wight. Earl Grey hes left the noble earl's seat for Howick Hall. Lord Westminster is about to make numerous improve ments in the beautiful village church of Eccleston, on the banks of the Dee above Chester. Lord Grosvenor's marriage with Lady Constance Leve son Gower, his cousin, daughter of the Duke of Suther land, will not take place until next year. _ _ PRINCE JOINVILLE.—We understand that this distin guished foreigner has been in Preston du-ing the past week. It is said that the ex-royal family of France contemplate taking a lease of Dochfour-house, a beautiful mansion situate on the confines of Loch Ness. Lord and Lady John Russell propose leaving Richmond on an early day for the Highlands, her ladyship having sufficiently recovered from her late indisposition to travel.

DEATH OF THE EARL OF CLARE.—The Earl of Clare, who has been in a declining state for some time past, ex pired yesterday week at Brighton, whither he had retired for the benefit of his health. The Right Hon. Colonel Fitzgibbon, brother of the noble lord, succeeds to the title and estates. DEATH OF SIR HENRY HEATHCOTE.—This officer expired on the 16th inst., at his residence, near Havre, in the 75th year of his age. The deceased was uncle to Sir William Heathcote, Bart., of Hursley Park, Hampshire. He entered the navy at an early age, became a post-cap tain i❑ 1798. and admiral in 1841. ARRIVAL OF TILE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AT THE MENAI-BRIDGE.—His Grace the Duke of Wellington arrived, on Thursday evening, by the express train, at the Bangor-station, for the purpose of inspecting the Britan nia Tubular Bridge. His grace was met at the station by T. A. Smith, Eq., of Vaenol, with whom he proceeded on foot, followed . by his carriage, towards Bangor Ferry, where he passed the night at the George Hotel. Before six o'clock on Friday morning the duke, in company with Mr. Smith, was met at the Britannia-bridge by Mr. Leigh, the resident engineer of the line ; and, after hav ing closely inspected the tube, returned to the Bangor- station, and at half-past seven set off. accompanied - by Mr. Ltigh;by an express train, for the purpose of inspect ing the Conway-bridge, so as to be in time to proceed thence by the 940 train for London. The duke looked remarkably well, and seemed much gratified whilst in specting the Britannia-tube.

DEATH OF THE DEAN OF ARMAGH.—We grieve to announce the death of the Very Rev. E. G. Hudson, dean of Armagh, which took place at Glenville, county of Cork, on the 14th instant. Although a dignitary of the Esta blished Cleureh, his political opinions were based upon the largest and most generous views.—Dublin Evening Post. CORK WORXHOUSE.—The number of paupers in this establishment on Tuesday last, was 3,624 ; on that' day twelvemonth the number was. 3,928; and on the 113tth August. 1849, it was 4.501. There were 304 less in the linwe last Tuesday, than on the I9'h August, 1850, and 877 less than on the 19th August, 1849. .z THE CUNARD STEAMERS.—With reference to the letter of Sir J. Emerson Tennent respecting these steam ers running alternately to Galway and Liverpool, we have authority for stating that neither tender, offer, or any kind of proposal to run the royal mail steamers alternately between Galway and New York and Liverpool and New York, has ever been made by the Cunard Company. The other part of the statement that the Cunard Com pany's vessels are inferior and slow, is not worth contra diction, as all the world knows it is not true.—Morning Herald. TRANSATLANTIC PACKET- 6TATION.—A numerous and highly influential meeting of members of parliament and merchants of Dublin, railway and landed proprietors, was held at the Mansion-house, Dublin, on Thursday last, the Lord Mayor presiding, at which resolutions were una nimously entered into, that a packet station on some point of the Irish coast, to be hereafter decided upon, should be established. A provisional onmmittee was appointed to report upon the preliminary steps to be taken for the formation of a company with a capital of £500,000, for the purpose of building weasels, and with the view of opening a steam communicatiwt with America at the point on the Irish coast to be decided upon as the most approved of, but without at present any special reference to any one particular place in preference * to another. The utmost unanimity pervaded the. roceedings. In connexion with this important movement, the Lord Mayor gave a splendid banquet in the evening, at the Mansion-house. INTOLERANCE.—TiI Kilkenny Moderator Of Saturday has the following :—" Yesterday, whilst a poor woman named Oaks, wife to a labourer in the employment of the Bishop of Ossory, was quietly sitting at her door in Grange's-road, a funeral ckauced to pass by, and some of the parties following the procession having observed how she was engaged, rushed upon her and beat her in the most cruel manner. The rioters, who were numerous, entered and surrounded the house, shouting and declaring that they would burn it, and murder the occupants, the man for daring to work on the bishop's l an d on Lady-day, and the woman for being seen reading the Scriptures. A large body of police had to proceed to Grange's-road, to disperse the crowd and protect the house •, and informa tions were taken against the rioters by J. Greene, Esq., R.M. Oaks has always been a Protestant, but it appears that his wife, having previously been a Romanist, joined the Established Church within the last year." NUMBER OF PROTESTANTS IN IRELAND.—Lord Glen gall has clearly demonstrated the fact at the present time, from data that cannot be controverted, that the Roman Catholics out-number the Protestants by barely 500,000. We quote his Lordship's words :—" In 1821 the Protes tants numbered 1,900,000 in a population of 8,000,000; now, in 1851, the Romanists have decreased 1,700,000; consequently, with this reduction, it remains that, on the basis of the population being now 6,500,000, the Protes tants are only in a minority of 500,000. The Protestants did not die of famine and disease, and but few have emi grated. The conversions to Protestantism have been nu merous, and this huge fallacy of the numerical majority of the Romanists in Ireland will soon evaporate when the real truth becomes known to the English public. Ro manism is on the decrease in Ireland, although among a particular class in England it may have made some con verts." When, too, we remember, that of this 500,000 the great proportion are shut up in the poor-houses, and that it is expected that, owing to the effects of free-trade, as many as last year, if not more, will emigrate next year, we do hope that Parliament will not any more be insulted with the cowardly and contemptible threat of the " mil lions of Irish Roman Catholics." Place at half-past one. A young man. a Protestant, had an altercation with some person in the crowd near the en. trance of the meeting ; he was struck, and the epicures in bloodshed around him, being wearied from the protracted scuffle, closed in upon him and shockingly ill-treated him. One fellow caught him by the neck and endeavoured to choke him. The foot police came up to 'his assistance and enclosed him. The crowd became excited, the horse po lice arrived, and using their batons very dexterously made a passage for the police and the assailed, whom they con ducted to the nearest station. His face and neck were torn and scratched, and his clothes were tattered and dis figured by mud. A transitory lull took place in the emo tions of the multitude, which was followed by another outbreak, and the riot rs were conducted to the station house. There were several rows caused by drunken men who first fought with those around them, and then fought with themselves. Two ludicrous scenes occurred. One sleepy fellow was wrapt in slumber near a lamp-post, and another, one of those unhappy slaves of circumstances, a placard bearer, was smoking a pipe by his side, when a rush of the populace was made and they were obliged to fly. A knot of old women who sat gossiping on the flags about the ascendancy of mother Church were also routed. Throughout the day there were several trifling disturb ances. The people moved to and fro in a sea of convul sion, and terrible results were expected, but. like a moun tain in labour, produced a mouse. The only apparent ef fect of the distuiaance was the arrest of one or two tall, thin wild-looking youths, who struggled hard with the po lice to escape from their grasp. The guards at the Castle and Bank were doubled, and a company and troop of every infantry and cavalry regiment in garrison were under arms, to act at a moment's notice.

DISTURBANCES IN DUBLIN. THE AGGREGATE MEETING OF ROMANISTS. The great aggregate meeting of the Romanists of Ire land took place on Tuesday. At eleven o'clock Lord Paul Cullen, Lord John Al'Hale, and several other lords of his Holiness the Pope, entered the meeting, and of course were loudly cheered. Lord Gormanstown moved that the Most Rev len be called to the chair. Dr. Cul- Mr. Reynolds. M.P., came forward and exclaimed that Lord Viscount Gormanstown was after moving that the chair i should be taken by " The Most Rev. Dr. Paul Cul. len, Lord Bishop of Armagh, and Primate of all Ireland !" (Cheers.) Such were the words of Lord Gormanstown, but as Providence had not blessed his lordship with such lungs as he had. he deemed it well to repeat the words of the motion. There were (continued Mr. R.) present likewise his Grace the Lord Archbishop of Cashel, his Grace the Lord Archbishop of Tuam (cheers), the Lord Bishop of Birmingham, the Lord Bishop of Edinburgh, the Lord Bishop of Elphin, the Lord Bishop of Clogher, the Lord Bishop of Killaloe, the Lord Bishop of Clonfert, the Lord Bishop of Savannah, in Georgia (cheers), and the Lord Bishop of Cloyne. There were many other dig nitaries of the Roman Catholic Church, either present or expected immediately. There were many peers of the realm present ; and lastly, several members of parliament —members of the " Irish Brigade." He concluded by seconding the motion, which passed unanimously. The Chairman (Dr. Cullen) then read a speech, in which the causes which led to that meeting were set forth. This meeting, he maintained, " had the finger of God upon it." and he doubted not that success would attend their efforts. One of the great objects of the contemplated Defence Association was to secure a proper representation of the Catholic church in parliament ; another was to employ the influence of the public press in the dissemina tion of their principles, and defence of their rights and liberties. He concluded by imploring a blessing from " The Queen of Heaven, St. Patrick, St. Michael, and St. Lawrence, our own Saints," on that meeting. (Cheers.) Dr. Brown, Roman Catholic Bishop of Elphin, said the people were not obliged to obey a law which was unjust and contrary to all the principles of equity. Such a law was that recently passed by the legislature. (Great cheers.) He concluded by moving that Mr. Burke, Mr. Sadlier, M.P„ Mr. Keogh, M.P., and Mr. Reynolds, M.P., should be appointed to act as secretaries. Mr. Vincent Scully, Q.C., seconded the motion. - Mr. Sadler then read the 'requisition, also a letter from Cardinal Wiseman, accounting for his absence from the meeting, but giving his approbation of the proposed Roman Catholic Defence Association. Dr. Slattery, " Bishop of Cashel," proposed a resolu tion to the effect—" That we declare an act lately passed by the Imperial Parliament, commonly called the Ecclesi astical Titles Act, to be a violation of the compact ob tained in the Catholic relief bill of 1829, and subver3ive of the great principle of religious liberty as established in this empire." This was seconded by Sir Piers Mostyn, who thus ac counted for his presence :—I will tell you, gentlemen, why I have come. I have come in answer to your call—l have come in answer to the general invitation which you sent to all Catholics of the United Kingdom—(hear, hear)—that we should join in one voice in protesting against a retrograde policy—hear, hear,)—and in protest ing above all things against the conduct of a Whig Prime Minister—(groans)—who, deserting the standard of reli gious liberty which he had always previously fought for to the best of his ability in his political character, has unfortunately evoked by that too celebrated letter of his a spirit of fierce intolerance and religious fanaticism which has spread through the length and breadth of the land, and which we had hoped had slumbered too long to be, awoke, but which unfortunately having been once awoke will not, I fear, be so soon allayed. The motion was carried. Dr. M'Hale, " Archbishop of Tuam," read the follow ing resolution :—" That we unhesitatingly declare that the present Ministers have betrayed the cause of civil and religious freedom, and forf:ited the confidence of the Catholics of the United Kingdom." Mr. Keogh, M.P., seconded the resolution. A clergyman, who was introduced to the meeting as " The Lord Archbishop of Edinburgh," moved the next resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Moore, M.P. for Mayo, and of course passed. Resolutions having for their object the formation of the new Romanist Defence Association were subsequently proposed and adopted. The meeting terminated quietly. On the outside several disturbances too'c place. The windows of the house of the Priests' Protection Society were smashed by the mob, and some other outrages were reported by the police. The Rev. T. D. Gregg, attended by some friends, arrived at the Rotundo in a close car riage, and demanded admittance, but being refused he and his friends returned to their carriage, the windows of • which were instantly shivered, while L, the coachman was struck with a stone, which injured him severely in the jaw. However, the carriage succeeded in driving off amid a volley of stones, and proceeded up Great Denmark street, followed by an immense mob of coal-porters and ragamuffins to Mountjoy-square West, the house of Mr. Shea, at which point the enemy was completely distanced. After a short stay there the rev. gentleman proceeded to Kingstown. The police arrangements were so totally ineffective, that, were it not for the speed of the horses, the inmates of the carriages would, in all probability, have been murdered, and a bloody fracas might have taken place between the opposing parties. •. Around the Rotundo the greatest excitement prevailed, and the collisions between the police and what we may call the body guards of the meeting—the coal-porters and dock labourers—were feequent, staves and stones being freely wed on either side. A riot that appeared to augur something <serious took OBITUARY July 26, at Messina, Sicily, the Rev. Matthew Drake Babington, M.A., Incumbent of St. George's Chapel, Whit wick, and of the Oaks Chapel, Charnwood Forest, Leicestershire. August 17, at Teigomouth, the Rev. John H Ms!), of Exeter, aged 78. August 19, at 'lndwell Rectory, Herts, aged 70, the Rev. Charles John Spencer, A.M., for many years Rector of that parish, and Curate of Edworth, Beds. A central committee has been formed in London to pro tect the interests of Church lessees, with reference to the act just passed. On it. are Mr. J. A. Smith, Mr. Forster, Mr. Aglionhy, and Mr. Headlam ; and it is proposed to establish, in connexion with this central organisation, local societies for the same purpose.—Daily Neu's. COLONIAL BlSHOPS.—Arrangements have been com pleted for the immediate establishment of a mission in Borneo for the whole of the Eastern Archipelago. It has been currently stated tlat the first bishop of the new see will be the Rev. C. F. Childe, M.A., principal of the Chtireh Missionary College, Islington. Arrangements are also in progress for erecting new bishoprics in Western Australia. Sierra Leone, and the Island of Mauritius. It is believed that one of the new bishoprics will be offered to the Rev. Dr. Mortimer, head-master of the City of London School, a Liberal in Politics, and Evangelical in religious matters.— Weekly Paper. DURHAM.—Bishop Cosin's Hall, so named in honour of one of the most assiduous prelates and greatest bene factors of the diocese, is to be opened in Michaelmas term. The Rev. John Pedder, M.A., Bursar of University Col lege, has been appointed the first principal. The site of the future buildings is in close proximity with the existing establishments, and is now occupied by houses in posses sion of the University, and readily convertible to College purposes. It is proposed to erect, in the first instance, a suitable chapel for students of Bishop Hatfield's and Bishop Cosin's Halls, in lieu of the temporary rooms now set apart for divine service. The domestic arrangements at the new hall will be the same as those at Bishop Hat field's, and there is already a prospect of small exhibitions being assigned to some of the first students. A parliamentary return has just been issued by which it appears that the property, consisting of land and houses, in possession of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, whether by lapse of lease or by purchase, to the end of the year 1849, was 3,284 acres 2 roods and 34 perches. The rent received by the Commissionersamounted to £7,199 18s. 10d. Of property belonging to preferments, the interest on which has been commuted, and which. on the expiration of certain leases, will come into the possession of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, the average is 16,787 acres and 2 roods. The estimated net annual value in land and houses is 423,520 Ils., and in tithe rent charges £13,759 6s. Id. A similar return is given in the same document of all property belonging to vacated preferments, and now transferred to the Commissioners, held on leases for lives or terms of years. The average is set forth at 40,246 acres 1 rood and 29 perches. The estimated net value in land and houses, £73,242 13s. 3d., and the annual rent charges £41,842 12s. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. A Welsh main at howls, thirty-two subscribers, at lOs. each, was played on Mr. Cowell's green, Kirkdale, on Tuesday last, and was won by Mr. John Henderson, beating Mr. Lee a love game. On Ai' ednesday last a match at bowls was played on Moses Dickinson's green, Old Swan, by Mr. Wm. Lupton, of this town, and Mr. Wilkinson, of Harpurhey, for .e 25 a-side. Mr. Lupton took the lead, was never approached, and won the game very easily, scoring thirty-one, and his opi,onent 16. The stewards of Brighton races have come to the determina tion not to allow Robertson, the jockey, to ride there again, in consequence of the unfair manner in which he rode Lord Wa terford's Duc-an-Dhurras for the Grand Stand Plate. VOLTIGEUR.—We are told that Voltigeur has been specially kept for the Doncaster Cup, but that the severe gruelling he received in his double races at York, makes it very improbable that they will consider it safe to startliim. We do not say this "on authority." A gentleman who saw him soon after his match, tells us that the horse then looked a complete wreck, — sixteen weeks is no very long space for a horse to get into good form.—Doncaster Gazette. MANES'S FEAT.-It is impossible not to admire the 'pluck' with which Monks perseveres in his task, destitute as it is of a single feature of public. interest. Punctually as the clock strikes he turns out of the badly-ventilated room in which he takes his repose and performs the a llott e d m il e . He walks with tolerable steadiness, his pulse maintains nearly its proper action, and if no untoword event occurs he may accomplish his undertaking. So confident does be feel of success that he offers frur to one that he will walk another thousand miles after he has completed his present task. This is putting his feat on the hazard of a die; for two or three days of extreme heat, or a slight attack of diarrhoea, to which, from protracted fatigue, be is more than ordinarily liable, would put his life in extreme peril. But when the feat is accomplished what are the practi cal results? As a sight, there is no more interest in seeing Miinks go round the Barrack Tavern ground than in observing the locomotion of an ordinary street passenger.—D9sicaster Cl ronicle. DEATH OF TOM SPRING.—Thomas Winter, the well-known boxer, expired on Wednesday morning last, at his residence, Holborn, London, in the 57th year of his age. RACING FIXTURES.

TUESDAY.—£2,773I6s. was taken at the doors, and the number of visitors was 57,059. The building now opens to the public at 9 o'clock in the morning, and closes at 6in the evening. An important meeting of the Royal Commission, which was very fully attended, took place in the Crystal Palace to-day, and was presided over by Prince Albert. All matters that could stand over, such as the fate of the building, and the appropriation of the surplus funds, are still in reserve; but the following is a summary of the points finally settled : The Royal Commis sioners have fixed Saturday, the 11th of October, as the day for closing the Exhibition to the public. It is their intention to hold a meeting in the building on Wednes day the 15th of October, at twelve o'clock, to receive the reports of the several juries, and to take leave of the foreign commissioners. On this occasion they intend to request the presence of the exhibitors, the jurors, the foreign and local commissioners, and the members of the local committees. I nmediately after the close of their proceedings permission will be given to the exhibitors to remove their goods, subject to such regulations as may be made by the executive committee. The reports of the juries, and the names of the persons to whom prizes shall have been awarded, will afterwards be published in the London Gazette. It is the desire of the Royal Commis sioners not only to present medals to the individuals to whom the juries may have awarded them, but to mark their sense of the great exertions of all the exhibitors, and also of the jurors, the foreign and local commis sioners, the chairmen, treasurers, and secretaries of local committees, and other persons who have rendered services in promoting the Exhibition, and to present them with a permanent memorial of the undertaking by distributing medals to each, accompanied by a certificate and a copy of the reports of the juries. The three medals of which the designs were originally approved are intended to he applied as follows :—That by Mr. Leonard Wyon will be distributed to the prizemen selected by the juries, that by M. Bonnardel will be given in certain cases recom mended by the Council of Chairmen, not as a mark of excellence in degree on the part of those who receive it, but for reasons which the Council of Chairmen have been requested to state specially in their reports. The medal designed by Mr. Adams will be given to the jurors. WEDNESDAY.—The sale of season tickets produced £1 10s. The money taken at the doors amounted to £2,217 Ss., making a total of £2,218 18s. The police report gives the number of visitors at 44,567. The tem perature, according to the thermometer, was, at 10 o'clock, 62 ; at 2 o'clock, 78 ; making a mean temperature of 73 degrees. THURSDAY.—The receipts at the doors of the building amounted to £2,470 25., and the number of visitors 50,482. Referring to the recent selection of goods added to the Exhibition, with the view of illustrating, in a con densed form, the every-day productions of Manchester and the districts around it, some idea may be formed of the significance of that unpretending display when we mention that at present 600,000,000113. of cotton are annually delivered at Liverpool for consumption, nearly the whole of which is manufactured into yarn and cloth in or near Manchester. FRIDAY.—£I,9S7 12s. 6d. was the amount taken at the doors of the building, the number of visitors, accord ing to the police returns, being 17,978. SATURDAY.—The receipts at the doors of the build ing only amounted to £1,434 17s. 6d., the number of visitors, according to the police returns, being 14,908. The declared value of our exports of cotton manufac tures last year, entered by the yard (1,358,238,837 yards), amounted to £20,528,150 ; of lace, hosiery, &c., to £1.343.780; and of cotton yarn (131,433,168. b.), to £6,380,948 ; making a total declared value of £28,252,878. Such are the astounding facts connected with a small and commonplace-looking collection of goods, situated in a remote corner of the Exhibition, which few have the curiosity to visit, and still fewer the patience to survey in the light which the figures we have given cast upon them. When the visitor to the Exhibition contemplates the stupendous machines which he will find placed upon the railway, which, entering the western extremity of the building, is conducted along the northern side of the western aisle, he car.not fail to be struck with the extra ordinary progress made in the art of inland transport %vithin a brief neriod of twenty years, especially if he compares these machines with the engines which were first used on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, the first line on which the locomotive engine was applied to the swift transport. of passengers. The North-Western Company exhibits a locomotive engine on a gigantic scale, called " the Liverpool," con structed by Messrs. Bury and Co. This vast machine is constructed on the principle of the Crampton patent, the peculiarity of which is, that the driving wheels are placed nt the rear of the engine immediately under the firebox. This machine is supported on eight wheels, the driving wheels being 8 feet, and the supporting wheels 4 feet in diameter. The cylinders are 18 inches diameter, and 24 inches stroke. The evaporating power of the boiler must be enormous, since the heating surface exposed to the direct action of the fire is 156 square feet, and the total surface of the tubes which traverse longitudinally the boiler, and by which the gaseous products of combustion are conducted from the fire-box to the chimney and strained of their heat en route, have a total ma'am of not less than 2,090 square feet. Thus there is a total heating surface of 2,400 square feet. The weight of the machine when supplied with its full complement of coke and water Os 37 tons. The second engine exhibited by the North-Western Company is " the Cornwall," designed by M. F. Trevi thick, one of the superintendents, and constructed at the Crewe establishment of that company in 1846, for the purpose of running express trains at a high rate of speed. The cylinders in this machine are 171 inches in diameter, and 2 feet stroke. The driving wheels are 8 feet 6 inches in diameter. This increase of diameter is given to the driving wheels with a view to obtain an increased speed with a diminished wear, arising from too rapid reciproca tion of the pistons. The cylinders in this engine are placed outside the wheels. The centre of gravity is lowered by suspending the boiler under the driving axle. The driving wheels are placed about midway in the length of the engine, while the others, bearing a lesser weight, are placed at the foremost and hinder ends ; this disposition of the wheels being found to be favourable to the motion on curves. The boiler has 1046 feet of heating surface, with certain peculiarities of construction and arrangement of the working gear which renders it easily examined when run ning. The gross weight of the engine in working trim is 27 tons. It is supported on eight wheels, and has taken trains at speeds varying from 60 to 70 miles an hour. COWES REGATTA—THE CLIPPER YACHT AME RICA."—The great yacht match at Cowes, on Friday, resulted in the defeat of the English yachts by the Yankee clipper " America," beating all her competitors with ease, after a most exciting contest. The day was fine, and at starting there was not much wind. The start was bril liant in the extreme, and eighteen vessels were entered for the cruise, all of which started except three. The start took place at ten o'clock, and among the vessels, in addi tion to those named below, were the Bacchante, Wyvern, Mona, and Brilliant. The utmost alacrity was displayed by the respective crews, and in less than half a minute the whole fleet was under way. The Gipsey Queen took the lead, being to the northward in the strength of the tide, followed by Beatrice to the southward, Volante, lone. Constance, Arrow, Alarm, &c. The America was in the westward line, the whole being moored in two lines. She was the last to take " a motion," and, as soon as her canvass was up, she slipped away from among the fleet, and sailed up to her competitors, passing them in succession until she was abreast of Norris Castle, having only the Constance, Beatrice, and Gipsy before her. Soon afterwards she hot ahead of these, and off Ryde was ahead of all her competitors, and continued gradually to increase the gap between them. At one o'clock she carried away her jib-boom, and, of course, some little time was lost in remedying the disaster. At the Needles, the America was seven or eight miles ahead of the nearest yacht. On the return from the westward, the America came up with her foresail and mainsail " goosewing" fashion, but for an hour 'afterwards there was no appear ance in the channel of the second yacht. Eventually the America reached Cowes at 8.35; another gun was fired at 8.55, which was inferred to be the second vessel, but this was a mistake. It was dark, and fireworks were being exhibited, and among the confusion it was impossible to pick the yachts out, even had there been any in the vici nity. The distance the Aurora was left outside the Needles, with the ebb-tide against her inside the Solent, would render the time of her alleged arrival improbable, unless she brought up a strong breeze with her. The Volante returned to Cowes with the loss of her bowsprit. The America throughout the race was beautifully handled ; and, in addition to her own crew of seven Yankee sailors, had three of the best channel pilots on board, the helm being taken by Under wool, of Cowes. Her Majesty and Prince Consort, with the royal children, embarked on board the Victoria and Albeit at two o'clock, and proceeded up the Solent in the direction of the Needles, for the purpose of viewing the match. The royal yacht passed the Needles before the America had reached the Freshwater. When the two vessels met, the America lowered her flag, and the crew gave three hearty cheers ita honour of the royal presence. The result of the race appears to have come like a thunder clap upon the yachting gentry, although they have been somewhat prepared for the event. Four of the yachts suddenly altered their course, and proceeded round the Nab Light instead of passing between it and the island. The America, followed by all the others, took the inner channel, which is not the usual course, and which is one of considerable risk at particular times of the tide. At the termination of the race, it was objected that the America had not gone over the course, and was not entitled to the cup. The sailing committee met, on Saturday, at th e Club-house at Cowes, to consider the objection that bad been urged, and, after due consideration, came to the conclusion unanimously that the America was fairly entitled to the cup. On Saturday evening the America sailed from Cowes to Osborne, in consequence of an intimation that the Queen wished to inspect her. The Victoria end Albert also dropped down to Osborne.
