It is t he emi- .s of our common principles which has s. .ieral joy over the land. The political struggi ,n which the country has just passed baa been iy exciting. Extraordinary causes have existed to ike it so. It has terminated—it is now over—and I ,incerely hope and believe has been decided by the sober and settled judgment of the American people. In exchanging mutual congratulations with each other upon the result of the late election, the Democratic party should remember, in calmly reviewing the contest. that of fellow-citizens who have differed with us —ith ourselves; that minori otitled to the full and free exercise of their opinions and judgments; and that the " ,, lits of all, whether minorities or majorities, as such, -ntitled to equal respect and regard. such get in opinio lave equal right e as well as majorities are e In rejoicing, therefore , over the success the Demo- __- erotic party, and of their principle s. in the late election, it should be in no spirit of exultation over the defeat of our opponents ; but it should be because, as we honestly believe, our principles and policy are better calculated than theirs to promote the true interests of the country. In the position in which I have been placcd by the vol untary and unsought suffrages of my fellow-citizens, it wilt become my duty, as it will be my plertsure,faitAin/ty and truly to represent, in the , xecutive department of the Government, the principles and policy of the great party of the country who have elevated me to it ; but, at the some time, it is proper that I should declare that I shall not regard myself as the representative of a party only, but of the whole people of the United Slates; and I trust that the future policy of the Government may be such es to secure the happiness and prosperity of all, without the distinction of party. MRS. POLE, THE LADY 01? THE AMERICA..., PRESI DENT ELECT.—The Americana seem to anticipate much advantage from having a President with an agreeable wife. Mrs. Polk is described as quite a good-looking woman, having a great deal of tact, and a certain amount of that genius for society which will doubtless give a new tone to fashionable matters in Washington. It is a long time (say they) since the White House was tenanted by a lady possessed of commanding position, talents, genius, and pe!sonal beauty ; and we should not be at all surprised if Mrs. Polk were to restore to the White House the brilli ancy, refinement, and gaiety which distinguished it daring the presidency of Mr. Madison, when Mrs. Madison was presiding genius. In fact, the accession of Mr. Polk it the best prospect of a complete restoration Cr, elegance, refinement, beauty, and fashion to 'n Washington. br of pie' gs with ESCAPE OP ZURI3AN+,, f the safe arrival in Portugal u —Accounts have beta received Z urban°.

In the strawberry garden, at the back of the house, stood a rick of hay, and this was carried off. An officer, of the Ist Royal Dragoons, who was riding fortunately along the road, with intrepid humanity rode into the water and succeeded in rescuing an aged woman. and three children from destruction. Three others of the houses were not approachable. One of the children, aged nine, providentially saved herself by climbing on the top of her father's loom, and was found in that position half dead, clinging with death-like grasp to it. The eldest girl it is supposed lost her life in her anxiety for the infant and her youngest sister. The poor mother was at market, provid , ng some necessaries for the w,•.ek's sup port, and returned but to witness their dead bodies, and that of the cow, their chief means of support. A man named Coyle, had one child drowned. A poor helpless man named Muflen, by trade a smith, living on the banks of the Liffey, at the opposite side of the road, had his house and furniture all wrecked and destroyed. A respec table tradesman, named Butler, bad his furniture de stroyed. THE POPE AND THE REPEAL BISHOPS A letter dated the llth instant, from Dr. Crolly, the Roman Catholic Primate of Ireland, to Mr. O'Connell has been published. The Doctor gives in it the subjoined letter from the Pope, in consequence of the Liberator having asserted that that letter was " not a canonical document. We give the translation, as the Latinity of the original is not of the first order:— " M ost Illustrious and roost Reverend Lord—Your grace ought assuredly to recollect that letters were given to you on the 12th March, 1839, from this Sacred Congregation, in which, in the name of our most holy Lord. Gregory, P.P. XVI., it was strongly urged to one or other prelate and some ecclesiastics of that kingdom, who were reported as being too much addicted to politics, and publicly hold ing forth with little discretion, that, if the same state of things continued, you ghoul a recommend more wholesome counsels, and should most diligently per,uade them to a a course more becoming their sacred ministry. The Sa cred congregation. indeed, doubts not that you have, with all zeal, laboured to accomplish this, and have bestowed such pains as the importance or the affair demanded, and as should naturally be expected from your reverence for the Apostolic See. But, nevertheless, that the desired end has not altogether answered the pains taken by you appears, especially from the public papers of those realms, in which speeches are reported as having been, recently, made by some of the clergy, and even by some of the bishops, at public meetings and entertainme nts , as we ll as in sacred edifices, who, certainly, if this were so, would not at all shoes themselves anxious about the salvation of souls, the good of religion, and the honour of God, and altogether averse to the designs of political parties and the concerns of this world, as should be the case. Indeed, it is net to be dissembled that it has caused more pain to this Sacred Congregation, and to our most Holy Lord, as tending to inflict loss and disgrace upon the ecclesiastical assembly; yea, what is more, may cause an injury to the Apostolic See, as if,—little solicitous about opportunely directing salutary advice to that clergy,—she favoured the stated designs of some of them, or, at least, seemed to connive at them. And, perchance, it is unknown to your grace, that grounds for these complaints, or, rather, charges, have not already once existed but the Apostolic I set, from sad experience, is greatly grieved. said to re market of disap demand . a vices have a had left n army of , for Qure- 5 curious Si, .sterday at Car hat pla yards, fourteen on !re employed for tt —Philo' the hour T DESTRO on at Tre human credulity 'enerall lestroyed by fire in the e of Tr ;sere so cast icated the 1) Tered up d on the .r of ti ited in most Zealand C,nn doen'; church.

SCOTCH ExcommuNICATIONS.—The Tractarian jour nals have been in great trouble for several months past, touching the disregard with which the " excommunica tions" and other mandates of certain of the Scotch bi ihops have been genc.rodly treated. We believe that di applications have recently been ...de to certain of hichnpq, in whose dioceses the clergymen are have ventured to treat the excommunication of Bishop Skinner with disregard. We believe, also that these complaints have been referred to the I authority on the episcopal bench. And we beLeve, lastly, that we are justified in asserting, that the at'---t round, who I temp of the Scotch bishops to call down aicepiscopal censure on the said English clergymen, has most entirely failed. Dr. PUSEY'S SERMON.—The Bishop of Exeter has published a short reply to the Provost of Oriel's letter, in which he says, " I protest against the injustice of your making an unnecessary defence against an inreal charge ascribed to me, to be the vehicle of those disclosures of the particulars of the conduct of the late Vice Chancellor and his assessors towards Dr. Pusey which have hitherto (for whatever reason) been withholden. Of those particulars, I will only say, that while they do not in the slightest degree reconcile me to the principle of the law of the University, as a rule for myself in ad ministering the discipline of my diocese, I gladly recog nise in them that spirit of kindness, candour, and equity, which, whe , her required by the academic law or not, I should always expect to find actuating the late Vice- Chancellor, and his assessors, in administering it. MODE OF ADMINISTERING DISCIPLINE IN THE DIOCESE OF EXETER.—The Bishop of Exeter in one of his recent letters said that " be could not even seem to concur in the sentence of the University of Oxford, in suspending Dr. Pusey, with no opportunity of speaking for himself; because his mode of administering disci pline in the diocese of Exeter was so opposed to such ap parently sharp practice, it was utterly impossible they could harmonize or be reconciled." A correspondent of the Record publishes the following statement, which does anything but bear out the assertion of the Bishop : " I can assure you that you are quite correct in your al lusion to the withdrawal, on the part of the Bishop of Exeter, of the license of the Rev. Mr. Babb, who stated, in consequence of a resolution proposed in a meeting of District Visitors, that he could not co-operate with the Rev. Mr. Luney, because he considered that Mr. Laney held and preached Tractarian, and, therefore, soul-delud ing doctrines. Afterwards, as a MATTER OF CANDOUR, Mr. Babb wrote to Mr. Luney and told him what he had y sent this letter to the Bishop, and the Mr. Lu withdrawal of Mr. Babb's license immediately followed. The clergy of Plymouth, with one or two exceptions, petitioned the Bishop to reinstate Mr. Babb, but in vain. At that time, about two years ago, Mr. Babb was one of the curates of Charles Parish : Mr. Luney WAS curate of St. Andrew's Chapel, Plymouth. Now Mr. Babb is a silenced minister, and Mr. Luney is a Prebendary of Exeter Cathedral and the vicar of Kingsbridge ! !" ATTACHMENT OF THF. LAITY TO THE CHURCH.—In Bath a paper containing a " lay declaration against the revival of antiquated rubrics and other obsolete obser vances in the public worship" has been circulated, to which a number of influential names is appended. Now that the Exeter people have obtained the removal of the vexatious innovations, the necessity for this declaration is scarcely so great as it might have been considered pre viously ; still it demonstrates how universally the senti ments of the laity tend to condemn these practices. There must be something very objectionable, and even very alarming in their aspect, to bring men together in this manner to raise their voices against the measures of their clergy. At the same time we cannot but observe how much extensive benefit may be gained, and what influence for all that is excellent may be employed, if rightly di rected, with a laity so earnest and so zealous for the Church. This is a lesson which the clergy may usefully adopt, and find in it the best means of exercising their ministry with the respect and affection of their flock. To exhaust upon a parish his talents and his energies by the introduction of novelties, as they are esteemed, in Divine worship, when the weightier matters of sound doctrine and instruction require his best efforts and most devoted labours, does not exalt the character of a clergyman, nor does it edify his people. We are thankful to remark that a different spirit is manifesting itself among the ecclesias tical body ; and that at a meeting of the clergy of the rural deanery of Okeharnpton, held Last week, a very sen sible and judicious line of conduct was exhibited. These gentlemen do not hesitate to avow their conviction of the " perilous results " that a rigid attention to the rubrics might inflict upon their " beloved Church"; and we trust, with them, that by the Bishop's " discretion and forbearance" he will be enabled to " meet the present crisis" so as to insure, without further dissension, the cordial agreement of all parties.--Times.

Her Majesty 'ith the Court Royal Highness Prince Albert, afant loyal Family. are still et Her Majesty has given, out of her privy purse, the sum f .£lOOO a-year to Sir Augustus D'Este, which is equal o the sum Sir Augustus lost by the death of the Duke of A TEXTURES.—A very in. tex ford, from her Majesty's Alpaca fleece, is communicated in the Polylecknic Review for the present month, by Mr. William Walton, author of a work " on the Naturaliza tion of the Alpaca," which we noticed shortly after its publication. It appears that, about 18 months ago, the Earl of Derby sent her Majesty two Alpacas, (South American mountain sheep,) which were located at Wind. sor. Their beautiful figure and attitudes, and their mild and gentle disposition, rendered them great favourites with all the inmates of the palace. Last season, the male, after being shorn, pined and died. The weight and beauty of the fleece was extraordinary, and her Majesty, zealous for the prosperity of our manufacturers, as w - ellas in me- mory of he r departed pet, expressed a c Iles of apparel made fr wool for her own wearir The fleece (almost wholly jet black) was accordingly for - - warded through Sir Wm. Freemantle to Mr. R. Pollock, of Leeds, with an injunction to select the most eminent spinners and manufacturers. The fleece was handed ' r• J. Whitt , - f--• -e A lnaca yarn, who M._ a st-rate spinner o pronounced it to be the healthiest he had ever seer weighed 16A1b., including 11b. of white, and when sorted and combed llib., and spun 10. Messrs. W. Fison and Co, and Messrs. T. Gregory and Brothers, undertook the manufacture, and felt desirous of producing a variety of articles, and showing, at the same time. some of the admixtures usual in the trade. The Ilb. of white was dyed royal purple. The first article was a cot cover, or apron, with the warp royal blue, and the weft black, exhibiting, in the damask style, Britannia, supported by two lions, and above a wreath of oak leaves, surmounted by a crown, illuminated by descending rays, with a foliage border richly elaborated—the who!e of Alpaca wool. Second, a copy of the same, with a scarlet silk warp, forming a gor geous contrast. Third, (by Mr. Gregory,) a striped and figured dress—the figure representing the rose, shamrock, and thistle entwined, on alternate grounds of black and red. In this 2ilb. of Alpaca were expended, the rest be ing silk, and the eftect was superb. Fourth, Mr. Fison produced a plaid dress, 15 yards, and containing 2ilb of the Alpaca in the weft, checked with ruby worsted and a few threads of white cotton. This showed that the tartan texture was much improved by the (introduction of this fine wool. Fifth, a plain black Alpaca lustre dress, 16 yards, and containing 3ilb. of the Windsor fleece—the warp fine cotton twist. Prince Albert (to whom the ar ticles were delivered on the 12th instant) was much struck with the finenest, softness, lustre, and pliability of the piece. The colour of her Majesty's fleece being natural, no chemical action could deface it. The fibre of the Al paca frequently extends to a foot in length. There is a peculiar art in spinning it, but the process has been brought to such perfection that the yarn reaches 60 hanks to the pound, each hank being 560 yards long, so that 11b. is spun to the length of more than two miles. Mr. Wal ton, at the conclusion of his letter, states :—" It is a sub ject of exultation to every true-hearted Englishman, that royal patronage has, under such peculiar circumstances, been bestowed upon a new texture, which, on account of its beauty, cheapness, and more especially its durability, bids fair to come into very general use, both at home and abroad—a texture in which the Peruvian Ineas, their wives and daughters, were for ages clad. Nothing cramps this growing trade but the high price to which the raw material has risen. When first introduced it sold at sid. to 9d. per lb., whereas at present white sells at 2s. Bd., and black and coloured 2s. 3d. In 1834 we imported 50001 b, but for the last four or five years all that could be procu red in Peru has not reached two millions pounds per an num. Is not this, then, a sufficient reason why our pa triotic men—those who wish to befriend our suffering manufacturers, should endeavour to people our hills with an animal affording so valuable a fleece, now that it is proved to be so admirably well suited to our soil and cli mate—nay, that the wool improves with our psstures." kell, 13.

With this view, and in order to spare you from being brought before the tri bunal which had given judgment upon the sermon, merely to say that you would not recant, I endeavoured, with the help of the Provost of Oriel, to frame a document, to which, if you had asssnted, nothing would have remained but some formal proceeding in accordance with it. But this you did not do. You proposed modifications, and you excepted against a word which was of considerable imptortance, as being an indication of particular opinions. You also objected to adopting words which did not occur in the formularies of the Church—an objection which I did not consider valid, because having in your sermon raised a suspicion that you held something contrary to what the Church held, it would not have been possible to allay such a susr icionby confining yourself simply to the langurge of the formularies. You also requested - that if ou were called upon to recant, you should have the very words of the sermon put before you for that purpose, as the statute (I admit) enjoins. Seeing then that you could not adopt the paper first proposed to you, I next endea voured to ascertain whether you would be likely to recant words of the rmon, and for this purpose pas sages were selected as a specimen of what might be re quired under that head, but to these also you made ob jections, and the utmost that could be said of the state ments which Dr. Jeif took down from your mouth was, that they were qualifications of the language of the ser mon. These two attempts to bring about a recantation baying substantially failed, and it being strongly im pressed on my mind, that, besides particular objections, an exception had been taken to the general tenor of the sermon, which, of course, no recantation could touch, I at length made up my mind that no course remained but to proceed to what I felt to be alery severe measure, but, nevertheless, the only alternative, namely suspension. This is my version of what has passed, and if it differs materially from yours, it is because, as a matter of neces sity, it was intrusted to a third person, who. however friendly to both of us, and admirably qualified for a peacemaker, could not exactly put himself in the place of " With regard to my having consulted the Provost of Oriel, I feel satisfied that when Dr. Jelf returns, this can be explained to you without any imputation upon my good faith. ' In conclusion, I leave you at liberty, as I shall feel myself to be, to say'that ' certain private comtnuuications were made from me to you without leading to any mutu ally satisfactory result,' and that secrecy is imposed upon you in the nature of those communications. " I shall also consider you at liberty to publish your ac count of what has passed, if any reports of their nature affecting your character for truth, traceable to an authen tic eourre shall he circulated.

Some misapprehension, judging from the inquiries made, seems to prevail with regard to the lines in West Norfolk. We can state, with confidence, that the only lines now before the public in that part of the country are, Ist, that of the Lynn and Ely Company, whose object is the con struction of a railway from the port of Lynn to join the Eastern Counties' line at Ely, with a branch of the main line into the port of Wisbeach, thus forming a direct line from London to Lynn; and 2d, that of the Lynn and Dereham Company, which, by means of the proposed line from Norwich to Dereham, will connect Lynn with Nor wich and Yarmouth, and will form part of the high road from those places to Yorkshire and other parts of the North of England. The extensive trade carried on be tween Norwich and the great towns in the manufacturing districts, particularly Bradford, has long required some improved means of communication, and the route from Norwich by way of Dereham and Lynn is minifestly the shortest and most direct. Great credit is due to the town of Lynn for the energy which it has displayed in its en deavours to keep pace with the giant strides of the railway system. The formation of the lines above alluded to, to- gather with that from Ely to Bedford, which arpears to us to be virtually a continuation of the Lynn and Ely line, will not only preserve to that port the connexion which has so long subsisted between it and the neighbouring counties, but bids fair to secure to it new advantages, which, if turned to proper account, will at once place it in a position equal to that of any port upon the eastern coast. The companies above mentioned, having complied with all preliminary requisites, are in a situation to apply to parliament for their bills on the earliest possible day, and, being unfettered by competition, little doubt can be entertained of their success. The traffic estimates, which have been prepared under the ♦igilant superintendence of Mr. Pare, hold out the expectation of an abundant return to the shareholders. The nature of the country through which these lines will pass being for the most part an un broken level, is extremely favourable to cheapness of con struction ; and, should the three companies amalgamate, (as we hope will be the case), the working expenses will be so materially diminished that an ample dividend ought to accrue to the subscribers.—Railway Record. At a meeting of the Newcastle Town Council, on Wed nesday, it was resolved to support the line of railway re commended by Mr. Stephenson, called the Newcastle and Berwick Railway, in opposition to Lord Howick's At mospheric Line. The Dundee and Arbroath Railway Company have commenced paying half-yearly dividends, and the first, one of two-and-a-half per cent., was declared on the 20th ultimo. The revenue of the line is said to have consider ably increased ; and if the Dundee and Perth and Aber deen Companies are successful in their applications to Parliament, it is considered the prospects of the under taking will further considerably improve. LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.-011 Thursday last a meeting of the above company was held for the purpose of considering certain propositions to make a branch from Croydon-common to a point on the South western line; a branch faun near Redhill-station to Bletchingly ; a branch from Three Bridges'-station to Ddrking ; and also for establishing a west-end terminus at Hungerford-bridge, by an agreement with the South western Railway Company. After considerable opposi tion, the proposals were approved by a large majority. TRY. LONDON AND YORK LINES.—At a recent meeting of the Town Council of Huntingdon. it was resolved to give the assent of that body to the London and York Railway on and over any property in which they have any interest, and their dissent to the Direct Northern and the Ely and Bedford Lines. The Town Council of Godman chester also gave their assent to the London and York, and expressed their determination to remain neuter as to the Ely and Bedford. The Town Council of Lincoln, after a discussion of four hours on the merits of the Northern Lines, resolved, by a large majority, to assent to the London and York, and to dissent to the Direct Vein. if Copper Vein they had once been united. The Consolidated Mines, in which this singular phenomenon occurred, are the most extensive in Cornwall, and worked by one company of proprietors. The workings extend 63 miles underground, or :)5,000 fathoms; and there are 8 large steam-engines, and about 30 small ones, employed in pumping cut the . water, raising the copper ore, & c ., & c . Th e co st of working amounts to £5,000 per month, and the copper ore raised from the mine from 1819 to June, 1843, sold for £2,220,657. The deepest shaft is 2,100 feet from the surface of the earth, and 2,000 persons are employed in the mines.—Railway Register for January.

EXTRAORDINARY MINE IN CORNWALL, The Great Cornish Adit, [or horizontal level, or gallery,] commenced in 1748, by an ances tor of th e Messrs. Williams, of Scorrier, is the most extensive undertaking of the kind in England, perhaps in the world. It commences in the Carnon Valley, and its longest branch extends to Cardrew Mine, a distance of five miles and a half; one branch of it unwaters the Consolidated, the United, and other mines as far westward as Ting-tang; and two other branches extend different ways, unwatering several mines in their courses. The total length of its different branches is about 35 miles. At the shallowest part it is not more than 12 or 14 fathoms deep. At Wheal Hope it is 70 fathoms from the surface ; the average, however, is from 30 to 40 fathoms. Allowing a tract of 200 fathoms in breadth outside its ramifications to be drained by it, the area it unwaters has been computed at nearly 5,550 acres. It is supposed this adit saves in the article of fuel alone £20,000 a year in the district it unwaters, as the addi tional steam power that would be required to drain the water to the surface, which is now only drawn to the adit, and intercepted by it in its descent, would require an annual increase of 2,500 tons of coal.—The veins of cop per occur in groups, and traverse an extent of several square miles ; each group forming a mining district. They occur principally in clay slate, called " killas," and sometimes in granite, called " growan," intersected by a bastard granite, or porphyry, called " elven." The por tion of a lode next the surface, is generally composed of a brown soft substance called " gossan" ; a kindly, or, as the Cornish say, a " keenly" gossan giving great de light to the miner, as it denotes a favourable lode at a greater depth. Copper lodes run east and west, lead lodes north and south ; and there are cross courses run ning nearly north and south, chiefly composed of quartz, _ called by the miners " fluccan." These cross courses, running across the lodes, often heave them considerably, as much, sometimes, as 20 or 30 fathoms. A lode in a mine called Wheal Reever, was heaved by a cross vein 50 fathoms from its regular course, and was not found again until after a search of forty years ; and a singular instance of this sort occurred in the Consolidated Mines, where a lode was heaved seven feet by a fluccan vein in cross courses. Where the cross course was first discovered, the copper vein contained a large rock of quartz, appa rently unconnected with any other stone of a similar de scription, and the singularity of the fracture which this stone presented induced the miners to pay particular at tention to it, and on following the fluccan about 7 feet, the copper vein was again discovered, and, at the point where it came in contact with the fluccan, another quartz rock, similarly insulated, was found; and in digging out the rock carefully, it was found to fit the other exactly, leaving no doubt in the minds of those who saw them that Rock.

By one of the new rules an estate paper, as it is termed, is now required, containing a whole dis closure of ail the property an insolvent holds, or which has been placed in the hands of any other person for his benefit ; and of course, in the event o f a concea l ment, a ll advactage is d en i e d, and the party liable to punishment. The following is a searching provision :—" That every petitioner shall, immediately after an official assignee shall have been appointed to his estate, deliver over to the official assignee so appointed all monies, bills, notes, and securities in his pos s e ss i on or power, together withl all books of accounts, papers, and writings relating to his estate and effects." By another rule notice is to be given discharged from custody, many having ,bused the provision to escape from their creditors: and, to adopt the language of one of the Commissioners, made the Court a refuge for their dishonesty. Among the fees appears the following, for the use of the Court :—" For every sitting held in the matter of any petition, by way of charge for the use of the Court, ss. lld." before a prisoner SPORTING rnissioners.

INTELLIGENCE TATTERSAI US.-THDASDAY The interest of the Derby betting was confined to the advance of Keclger to 16 to 1 (takers), with a strong party, and the retreat of the Cobweb colt to 28 to 1 ; the first of these movements is attributable to a reported trial, and the second to a rumoured lameness. The betting was also prejudicial to Anti-Repealer and Newsmonger ; but not to so alarming an extent as in the case of Colonel Peel's colt ; in all other respects it agreed with Monday's quotations.
