FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. AMERICA By the Royal mail steam-ship Cambria, Captain Leitch, which arrived here on Sunday, we have advices from Bos ton to the 16th instant, and from New York, by tele graph, to the 17th instant. The Cambria left Boston shortly after noon on the 16th instant, steamed to Halifax in about 36 hours, left with the usual mails, after a de tention of one hour and 45 minutes, made Tory Island at eight p.m.. on Saturday, and arrived in the Mersey at a quarter past three o'clock on Sunday afternoon ; having accomplished the entire run from Boston, mean time, in clusive of the detour to Halifax, and against an uninter rupted succession of north-east winds, in the very brief space of 10 days, 19 hours, and 50 minutes, equivalent to a run of 11 days, 15 hours, and 26 minutes from New York ; or two hours and ten minutes less than were oc cupied by the United States steam-ship Atlantic on her last voyage to the Mersey. The Cambria brought thirty eight passengers. The Royal mail steam-ship America arrived at Halifax on the IGth instant. The Asia was spoken at 9 p.m., on the 19th instant, in lat 46 22 N., long 53 25 W. The Canadian news is unimportant. _ _ Preparations were making on a large scale for a grand industrial exhibition which was to commence on the 17th instant The National Intelligencer says that the British Go vernment had withdrawn all its demands for port and other dues frora the harbour of San Juan de Nicaragua and the navigation of that river. We have Havana advices to the Bth instant. The,Go vernor had disbanded the volunteers through fear of a revolt, and every preparation had been made to resist a renewed invasion. The sales of sugar were small in consequence of high prices. Coffee in good demand. Disturbances were apprehended at Detroit on the 12th, in consequence of the Fugitives Slaves Bill. A large body of negroes had assembled outside the town. A negro had been arrested as a slave, but the inhabitants intended to buy him off. A disturbance had occurred at Boston during one of Jenny Lind's concerts, in consequence of over-crowdinz. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE THE MONEY MARKET. , --With a good demand, the rates of exchange to remit by the Boston steamer on Wednesday have been firm, at an advance in rates. In sterling there has been considerable business done, at 111 to 11 and 111 ; 110 k may he considered as the mini mum rates for leading bills. Sales of produce bills have been made under these quotations. CorroN.—The sales of Saturday, the 12th, were 1600 bales, at full prices. To-day, the sales reported on 'Change were, 1500 bales Atlantic cotton ; inferior, none on sale. Gulf cottons, inferior none on sale. Ordinary to good ordinary, Atlantic, 131 to 161 ; Gulf, 131 to 14. Middling to good middling, 141 to 141 ; Gulf, 14g- to 14;1. Middling fair. 143 to 14 e ; ; Gulf, 14i to 151. Fully fair to good fair ; 15 to 151. We have no improvement to no tice in the advices from the south; on the contrary, the estimates are reducing from every section, and 2,100,000 bales, or a crop not varying materially from that of last season, appear to be the now general tenour of the advices received. To this we do not yet subscribe, wishing to be more fully informed with regard to the districts tributary to New Orleans. The accounts of killing frosts at Mem phis are confil med by telegraph from New Orleans, and the late quotations of middling as 13c., on Saturday, the 12th ' • but the Europa's unfavourable advices had not, we think, had their effect. BREADSTUFFS.—FI,OI7II. — The demand for the elm mon brands of State and Western flour was active for the east, but for export it was greatly restricted. Prices of the low and medium brands have improved materially; the amount of Canadian offering to-day as last ; also the demand for good brands here held at S 4 75c. ; Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio at SI 621 c. to S'4 75c. ; and pure Genessee' $5 120 c. to $5 l lac. In Southern flour there was no particular change, while the market was steady. In meal there was not much on thett , a-ke , , which was quiet. Sales of 100 bolls were made at S 3 121 c. for Jer sey. Both the supply of and demand for wheat was good, and we note sales of 17,500 bushels of fair to fine white Michigan at -81 71c. to S 1 10c. ; prime Genessee at &1 14c., which shows a considerable reduction ; 13,000 bushels of Canadian at 99c. Oats have not varied ; we quote northern at 39c. to 41e., and Jersey are 37c. to 32c. Corn was firm, and the demand fair. FREIGHTS TO EUROPE.—Freights are dull. Enrage ments have been made for cotton to Liverpool at SI per bale ; flour, ls. 3d. to ls. 4d. ; grain, 4d. To Glasgow, flour, Is. 6d. to ls. 93. LATEST BY TELEGRAPH, NEW YORK, OCTOBER 17 Steamer Arctic sailed on her trial trip to-day. The America's news was received in New Orleans ten minutes ahead of time, and gave, yesterday, increased firmness to cotton market there. No news of California mail. The Stock market continues active, and with advancing prices, especially the fancies. The Government Sixes, 67, sold to-day 1178 ; Indian, State Fives, 80 ; Ohio Seven's, 106. Quotations of prices for cotton, flour, wheat, and Indian corn, are precisely as when Cambria's mails left. JENNY LIND.---This estimable lady continues to attract great interest in the States, and triumphs attended her progress daily. On the llth and 12th instant she gave a concert at the Fitchburg Depot, Boston : on the last occasion six thousand persons were present. A report says, " The rooms and corridors were crowded, and some confusion was occasioned by the breaking of windows by the audience to procure air. Mr. Barnum came forward and announced, that any one who chose to have their money returned could retire and apply for it on Monday morning. The applause of the audience was most enthu siastic." A report dated the 14th instant refers to a dis turbance which characterised one of the meetings, arising from overcrowding :—" Barnum comes out with a card this morning, in reference to the disreputable scenes at the concert of Saturday night at the Fitchburg Depot. `::e says he did not sell as many tickets as the hall would hold by a thousand, and that the noise, confusion, fainting of ladies, breaking of glass, &c., which took place was the result of the unmannerly coadact of those who had tickets and got in first. lie offers to refund the money to those who did not get in. Mademoiselle Lind is stated to be deeply affected at the occurrences which took place on Saturday night. The papers this morning are divided in opinion as to the causes of the disturbance : some de nounce Barnum in good set terms, others defend him. In the streets, however, he is abused without stint, and if .he had made his appearance yesterday he might have been roughly handled by the ticket holders. Mr. Barnum denies in his card the statement hitherto made, that there had been the least falling out between him and Miss Lind; but avows that she has hitherto treated him with the ut most consideration. He left for New York this morning. She leaves this afternoon." Mad'lle. Lind distributed Amongst the charities of Boston a sam of about £1,445. BARNUM AND JENNY LIND.—The Nett, York Herald, which hitherto has sounded Mr. Barnum's praises in no measured terms for his zeal and enterprise in securing the presence of Jenny Lind in the States, now falls foul of that gentleman, and abuses him in equally strong lan guage. He is accused of pocketing 15,000 dollars a week by the concerts, and giv'mg nothing to the press but vitu peration and a few tickets offered grudgingly. He is alleged to have sent to the newspapers exciting articles about the Nightingale, all of which were inserted gra tuitously, and accounts of the concerts are given which dont cost him a penny. The Flerald further asserts that Barnum engaged to pay the hotel expenses of Jenny Lind, which are thought to be very heavy on account of their costly character; but he so manages matters as to be well paid for bringing the Nightingale to these estab lishments. After declaring that the receipts of the con certs are exaggerated, in order to produce an effect, the Herald concludes as follows :—" For example, the iwAe, in the benevolence of her heart, devoted the metre of her share of the profits of the first concert in New York to the purposes of charity, but did not wish to have it published. Barnum, thinking it would be a pity to hide the virtues of " the an ge l" un d er a b us h e l , pro claimed the fact at the close of the concert. He an nounced that 10,000 dollars were her share, and designated the different charities to which that sum had been appropriated. But it turned out that the •• chick ens were counted before they were hatched," and that, instead of 10,000 dollars, there was only 7,000 forth coming. How were the other 3,000 to be made up ? Jenny Lind had to put her hand in her pocket and to pay what she never received. This charity, of course, was only lending to the Lord,' as the inscription on the lock of one of her apartments in the Revere-house tes tifies ; for whatever is thus given is amply repaid, and Barnum reaps a splendid harvest, though the seed which produces it costs him nothing. Then, look at the excite ment got up by selling the first choice seat at auction. Before the eventful day comes, Barnum's agents are busy at work, and a ficrore is raised : any money will be given for a seat that is sometimes about the worst in the house, as at Castle-garden, and is never better than one that costs five dollars. The rivalry of pride, or an eye to business, pushes it up to 225 dollars, 625 dollars, or lastly, as in Providence, to 650 dollars. This has its effect, not only upon the other tickets at that concert, and the following concerts in the same place, but on the first ticket, and all the tickets, at the concerts in the next city ; so that we would not be surprised if the price of the first ticket should reach 1,000 at the first concert in New Orleans. All these results flow from the liberality of the press, which has made one f ortune for Barnum-, and is now fast making another fo r hi m, b y thanklessly And gratuitously occupying its space with accounts of the sayings and doings of the Swedish Nightingale. It is true that the glorious woman is worthy of all the honour, and glory, and renown the press can give her; but it is well the public should understand that Mr. Barnum is th e only gainer in the business. Mademoiselle Lind, of course, shares half the receipts; but, then, she devotes them to the noble work of education in her native land; And for this, independent of he r won d er f u l musical genius, she has the sympathy of the press, and of two worlds here below, to say nothing of the world to come." - ~- A company has proposed to establish an electric tele graph throughout Paris for the transmission of messages. The Canadian crops are much larger this year than ever before, the wheat crop alone being estimated at 11,000,000 bushels. The - Ministerial crisis in Hanover has for the present passed of. An understanding has taken place between the King and his ministers respecting the questions of in ternal policy. Letters foam Lisbon announce the decease of the Duke of Paltnella at Lisbon, on the 12th. His death is con sidered a great loss to Portugal in the present juncture of affairs. It is estimated that the gross proceeds of the six con tarts given by Jenny Lind in Boston. Enid the one in Pro vidence, will amount to £lB,OOO. Mr. Daniel Webster is at present with the Swedish nightingale, at the Revere Houma, on him way home to Marshfield. Some practical jokers at \Mentz lately amused them selves during the night by fastening chains round the limbs of Guttenberg's statue, as a satire on the restric tions upon the press in--Germany. The police have vainly endeavoured to discover the-wicked jesters. General Changarnier • has forbidden all Bonapartist papers to be admitted into the barracks, among others the Pays, a paper which was specially addressed to the troops, and was the most :Vous advocate for the restoration of the empire. MILITARY OCOUPATIGIT OF HESSE CASSEL.—A de spatch from Berlin, of - the 24th instant, announces the important fact that General Groben, at the head of a Prussian force, has taken possession of the military roads of the electorate, and that he has instructions to repel any intervention by armed force. The Austro-Bavarian army has not yet passed the Hessian frontier. THE ROMANCE OF THE HAREM.—As a sequel to the history which we gave-•under this title a few weeks ago. we may now state that a letter from Constantinople, sth instant, says :—" The Creek lady, who some time since killtd one of her eunuchs, has been condemned to five months' imprisonment, and her accomplices to a more severe punishment," PHOTOGRAPHIC IMPROVEMENT.—The Boston Tran script states that a Mr. Howes, of that city, has disco vered a means by which a miniature-sized daguerreotype may be magnified to life size, or larger if necessary, and reflected upon a canvas, or any flat prepared surface, so that an artist may seat himself before it and paint it as it appears. Six murderers were shot at Rome, on the Sth instant, whose crime bearing a pOlitical shade, has attracted more than usual attention. It was at one thee said that Pius IX. had positively refused to put his hand to a sentence of death, and we believe was a fact largely made use of by agitators against capital punishments. It appears that this was either a mistake, or his Holiness has since changed his mind. 1 he United States mail steam-ship, Atlantic, arrived in the Mersey on Thursday, bringing three days' later intel, ligence from the United States. She left New York on the 10th instant, and brings 97 passengers and a fair cargo. The steam-ship Europa had arrived at New York previous to the sailing of the Atlantic, having been out 121 days. Nothing had transpired in the political world worth reporting since the departure of the Niagara. Bu. siness was rather brisk. JEALOUSY AND MURDER.—M. Inder, a wine-shop keeper, of Paris, was jealous of his wife. A certain black smith was the object of his suspicion, and so he forbid him his shop. The blacksmith went in, in spite of his prohibition, to the shop to drink. 'The husban'd expelled him. He went again with a companion .named Bavot, and a few days since, when turned out, insulted the husband by some gross jokes about his wife. Inder, in a passion, snatched up a knife, rushed after them, and, striking in a dark passage, killed Bavot on the spot, missing the man he intended to strike. Inder is committed. DOUBLE SUICIDE.—Two days ago some fishermen at Bezons, near Argenteuil, dragged from the river the bodies of a young man and woman, bound closely toge - ther by pocket-handkerchiefs and cords. A paper found in the pockets of the man set forth that they had com mitted suicide owing to the refusal of their parents to consent to their marriage, and begged of those who might find them to cause them to be interred without any at tempt to ascertain who they were. The paper was signed " Joseph and Madeleine." All attempts to discover the names and addresses of the unfortunate couple have failed. COURT MARTIAL IN INDlA.—Lieutenant Rose, who was tried by court martial at Simla, for allowing himself to be grossly insulted without seeking the duellist's satis faction, and for having sought protection from the civil power when threatened to be horsewhipped, instead of Protecting himself, had been acquitted, but deprived of his staff appointment, and severely reprimanded. He had stated that Mr. Lang, editor of the illofitssilite news paper had been seen drunk at a ball. Mr. Lang called this a falsehood, insulted him, refused to fight with him, and threatened to assault him, when Mr. Rose bound him over to keep the peace. Mr. Rose's statement was found to be correct. SHOCKING MURDER.—A fearful murder was committed about dusk on Monday in the church of the Madeleine, Paris. The victim is the Suisse of the church. It appears lie was about to dose the doors, and when making his round he discovered three or four men in the corridor or passage between the body of the church and the extreme wall. These men appeared as if they wished to conceal themselves. The Suisse, no doubt, insisted on their quitting the church, when they refused, and fell on the unfortunate man. The murderers beat his head on the stone steps of the passage. They have not, been as yet arrested. Tt is presumed that they were hiding in the spot with the intention, as soon as the doors were closed, of robbing the church. CRIME AND GRIEF.—TWO young women, fashionably dressed, were a few days back taken up in Paris for shop lifting. One, a young and elegant creature refused to give her name or address, answering only by sobs and tears. The police were indefatigable in their search, and found at last her domicile. Her reason was then known. She had contrived, while living in affluence on the products of her robberies, to keep an excellent character in her home, and to be sought in marriage by a young man, both dis tinguished and honourable in position, who, eight days before her arrest, was married to her, and came to reside in her well-furnished apartments. The husband was dis tracted at her absence, but soon had it explained by the arrival of a commissary of police, who discovered, on examination, a secret hiding-place full of stolen zoods. A NEGRO PRESIDENT FOR THE UNITED STATES.— The abolitionists of Oswego have rushed forward and seized time by the forelock, nominating their candidates for the presidency. We supposed that Steward and Frederick Douglas would have been the candidates ; but our sug gestions hare not been followed out. The nominations stand thus :—For President, Gerrit Smith, white man ; for Vice-President, Sam Ward, black man. This is what might be called " the mixed ticket." Gerrit Smith is put down as a full-blooded white man—an Anglo- Saxon ; but he has a dark complexion, though nothing of African blood in his veins. Sam Ward is a full-blooded African, as black as the ace of spades drawn from a new pack. It is the first time, in this country, that any party, composed of white men and women, ever nominated, or would support, for the highest office of the republic, a black man to govern them. This is a large leap into the gulph of fanaticism indeed. When a large portion of a white civilized community can deliberately perpetrate < a things, it is an evidence of some terrible disease is the public mind, and a presentiment of some horrible crisis or convulsion ahead. Is it revolution ? secession ? confla. gration ? insurrection ? or general massacre between the two races ?—New Fork Herald. IRELAND. _ 4,_ An affray took place 'on Monday evening, at Belfast, between three private soldiers and some workmen, which ended in two of the soldiers receiving several severe cuts on the heed. Miss Catherine Hayes has received an invitation from Airs. Knox, lady of the Bishop of Dromore, to make the see-house her residence during her forthcoming engage ment by the Anacreontic Society of Belfast. A SHEEP IN WOLF'S CLOTHING.—A few nights since, a sheep was stolen from a field in Coolcarney, county Mayo. Suspicion fell upon the wife of a man who had been transported for a similar offence, and, on searching the house, the officer found the sheep in bed with the children, with a chemise and a night-cap on. _ THE COLLEGES DENOUNCED BY THE POPE.—His lloliness has declared his final verdict on the Government colleges in Ireland—utter and unqualified condemnation. Thus the remonstrance of the 13 Catholic prelates against the condemnatory decree passed by the 14 Catholic prelates at the Thurles synod assembled has been treated as nought by the mitred bigot to whom the Catholic youth of Ireland are henceforth expected to look for collegiate education. —London Standard. ABDUCTION OF A POOR-LAW GUARDIAN.—The Kil kenny Moderator contains a letter from Mr. P. Keefe, one of the guardians of the Urlingford union, giving an account of his being dragged from his gig while on his way to attend a meeting of the board on Tuesday week, and kept in custody for several hours by a party of fellows under the leadership of a person calling himself " Napo leon Bonaparte." The object of the abduction was to prevent Mr. Keefe voting against the Johnstown Fever Hospital. A BAILIFF'S STRATAGEM.—At the Bandon session, last week, a clever trick of a bailiff was explained. Timothy M`Carthy was employed to serve Mr. Warner, a magistrate, with a chancery order, but found it impos sible to do so. At last, in the face of a policeman, he stole a pair of brogues from a stall ; as Tim had expected, the noliceman forthwith arrested him and hurried him off to the nearest magistrate, who was proceeding to take the information, when Tim drew forth a paper, and pre senting it to the justice, exclaimed, " Here, your wurt chip, this paper will give you information enough." It is needless to add that the magistrate thus addressed was Mr. Warner, and the paper delivered was the chancery order. The charge of theft was dismissed by the bench amidst a roar of laughter at the clever ruse by which Tim had contrived to fix his victim. UNIVERSITY AND C'LERICAL NEWS. -4.- The members of Christ College, Cambridge, have pre sented to the Lord Bishop of Chester, late master of the college, a splendid silver vase and a pair of silver tureens, as a memorial of their esteem and gratitude. The foundation-stone of a new church at Amcotts, in the parish of Althorpe, was laid on Tuesday. The Rev. James Aspinall, rector of the parish, was present, and deli vered a long address. The Weekly •Chronicle says :—" With reference to the Bishop of Oxford, there is a very serious charge, which the right rev. prelate does not deny, a charge, indeed, which he justifies ; namely, that he is unprepared to defend the;doctrine of the plenary inspiration of the Scriptures. It is not improbable that the matter will be subjected to the decision of the Ecclesiastical Court. DR. Pusey AND T}U "TEST."--Dr. Pusey seems to have felt the necessity of some avowal ; or why should he have declared, with so much marked emphasis, that he had "no misgivings" as t o t h e Ch urc h of England ; and that he means to die in her communion ? And again, the fact that such a declaration should have elicited so re markable a demonstration of applause, and should have been spoken of by certain writers as " a matter for great thankfulness," is a proof of the extent and force of the suspicions which existed as to his sound Churchmanship. It is rather a matter for painful reflection than exultation, when the simple avowal of faithfulness to his Ordination vows by an eminent divine, is thought to be so unlooked for a circumstance as to cause such a commotion of joy ; for a similar declaration from a clergyman not suspected of an undue love for Rome, would have been treated as a mere commonplace remark ; an.d the complexion of the times or the character of the speaker CORM /lone gins it Significance.— Chester Courant. MORE PERVERSIONS.—The following members of the two Universities of Oxford and Cambridge are announced as having joined the , Romish communion :—Rev. F. W. Trenow, 8.A., •St..• John's College. Oxford:; Mr. J. Maillard, Commoner of Trinity College, Oxford: Mr. T. Priggett, Commoner of St. John's College, Cambridge ; and Mr. J. Harper. M.A., Pembroke College, Oxford. We are also assured, on good authority, that proselytism to Tractarian principles is still making way among the younger members of the Universities at a rapid rate; and no wonder, when , Dr. Mill at Cambridge, and Archdeacon Wilberforce atOxford, are permitted with impunity to retain their offices of Professors and Select 'Preachers in the face of their public abjuration of the thirty-sixth canon of our Church. What are the authorities about ? Church aud'State Gazette. RUBRICAL.DISPUTES.—A complaint having been made to the Bishop of Exeter, by the churchwardens of She viocke, respecting certain innovations introduced into the service by the Rev. Mr. Cocks, the rector, his lordship, in anticipation of a personal visit to the parish, wrote a letter to the churchwardens, in which he observed :—" I myself am not favourable to alterations, when not in strict accordance with the rules 'of the Church, even if they are improvements, unless they are adopted in accord ance with the feeling of the parishioners. There are, however, many things in which the incumbent may act on his own discretion, which, whether approved or not by his Bishop, are beyond the reach of Ecclesiastical disci pline." On his lordship's visit the various points were discussed, and, by the Bishop's advice the differences were amicably arranged, the most material alterations being condemned by the Bishop. OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITIES. - The uni versity of Oxford, for so great a corporation, is not wealthy. We have no means for ascertaining its revenue, but it is understood to be poorly endowed, and to depend chiefly on fees, the profits of its printing press, and other fluctuating sources of income. The public are equally ill-informed as to the incomes of the colleges. It has been stated that the aggregate incomes of the fellows is about £120.000 a year. This gives an average of at least £250 to each person ; but it cannot be taken as a fair one, for it is understood that many fellowships are valuable; for instance, at Magdalen, some of them are stated to be worth £7OO a year. The revenues of New College are said to be between £15,000 and £16,000 a year, shared amongst one hundred individuals on the foundation. The revenue of the Cambridge university is under £5,000 per annum. The principal portion is from the rectory of Burwell and a farm at Burton, about £2,000. The offi cers, such as bedells, proctors, &c., are paid by fees, amounting to about £2,400 per annum. We have no means of estimating the college revenue. Some of them are very large, as King's College, which has about £20,000 a-year. It is said that the aggregate fellowships are worth £90,000. But, independently of the estates, a large income must he derived from the pensioners —that is, the ordinary students not on the foundations. Take the total number, stated at 3,000, and deducting there from the persons on the foundations, the lowest average charged for tuition, rent, and other college payments, will give at least £47,500 a-year. The number of fellowships is about 300, and the scholarships nearly 700. The church patronage of the whole colleges exceeds 300 advowsons.— Tait's Magazine. THE CARDINAL ARCHBISHOP OF WESTMIN STER. ADDRESS FROM THE CLERGY OF WESTMINSTER The following address was presented on Friday, at London-house, to the Lord Bishop of London, who repressed his entire concurrence in the sentiments and language of the memorial. His lordship's reply will shortly be published : " To the Right Rev. Father in God, Charles James, Lord Bishop of London. _ _ _ _ _ " May it please your Lordship,—We, the undersigned clergy of the city and liberties of Westminster, approach your Lord ship with deep feelings of affectionate veneration for your Lordship's person and office. " We feel ourselves constrained to resort to your Lordship for counsel under circumstances of an unprecedented charac ter. " For the first time since the Reformation a Romish ecclesi astic, nominated by the Bishop of Rome, has assumed the title of Archbishop of an English city; and the English city whose name he has usurped is that in which . the Sovereigns of Eng land are crowned, tire Parliaments of England sit, arid the laws of England are administered—the city of Westminster. " We have reason to believe that this step is only a prelimi nary one, and that, unless it be now checked, it will soon be followed by others of the same tendency; that names of other English cities or towns will he assumed as titles of episcopal sees by other Romish ecclesiastics ; and that a general effort will be made by the Papacy to give a complete provincial and diocesan organization to its own hierarchy in England and Wales. " Bein g persuaded that, according to the fundamental prin ciples of the universal church, there can be but one metropo litan in a province and one bishop in a diocese, in a country like England where one language is spoken, we deeply deplore, and solemnly protest against, this unwarrantable act of reli gious division, by which the Church of Rome has now given fresh evidence to the world that, instead of being, as she pro fesses to be, a centre of spiritual unity, she is a main cause of the unhappy schism that rends Christendom asunder. " We lament also the fact that among British subjects, and especially among Christian ecclesiastics, any should be found to assume a title taken from a metropolitan city in the realm of England, and thus be guilty of invading Her Majesty's con stitutional prerogative, which is to be the sole fountain of ho nour and dispenser of titles in that realm, and so be justly chargeable with an outrage against the British Constitution and with indignity to the British Crown. " We therefore, the undersigned, having been duly called, according to the laws of this church and realm, to discharge spiritual functions in that city in which the Bishop of Rome now assumes to himself pre-eminence, and over which he has set no a Claim fn roithnritli by nntnApntiorr On Arch bishop thereof; and being bound by our or illation vows to maintain peace and quietness in church and state, and to banish and drive away all erroneous and strange doctrines, contrary to God's word' ; and having solemnly declared our assent to the principle embodied in the Ordinal, articles, and canons of our church, that the Queen's Majesty under God is the only supreme governor of this realm, as well in all spiri tual or ecclesiastical causes as in temporal'; and that no fo reign prince or prelate bath, or ought to have, here any power, superiority, pre-eminence, or authority, ecclesiastical or spiri tual'; and that the Bishop of Rome bath no jurisdiction in this realm of England,' feel it our bounden duty, in the pre sent emergency, to crave directions from your Lordship's wis dom and authority how we may best vindicate the rights of our church and country, which are now assailed, and may, with the Divine blessing, avert the dangers with which we are menaced, and maintain the peace of society and the cause of unity and truth. _ _ _ "A'hat Almighty God may long vouchsafe to continue the blessing of your Lordship's life and health, to the benefit of this diocese and of the church and country at large, is and will be our most hearty prayer at the Throne of Grace." The address was signed by about seventy clergymen TIIE OXFORD ADDRESS AND THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY. The address of the Oxford Graduates to the Arch bishop of Canterbury, on the subjects of the Royal Supremacy and the recent judgment of the Privy Council, which was signed by upwards of one thousand members of the University, has been transmitted to the Arch bishop through the Bishop of Oxford, accompanied by a letter from the latter, dated Cuddesden Palace, Sep. 23, " pointing out the great weight the document receives from the character of the subscriptions to it." The fol lowing is the Archbishop's reply . . ."'Addington, Sept. 26, 1850. "My Lord—An address has reached me through your lord ship's hands, signed by a large body of Oxford Graduates, on the subject of the present constitution of the Court of Appeal in matters ecclesiastical. Such an address is entitled to grave and respectful consideration, both from the names appended to it, and from the subject to which it refers. 1 cannot, however, see grounds for the apprehension expressed by the subscribers, that the doctrines of our Church are exposed to danger, either from the constitution of the Judicial Committee, or from the decision at which they arrived in the case recently brought before them. It would certainly be desirable, that a large pro portion of the judges should be taken from the ecclesiastical members of our Church, if the settlement of doctrine were involved in their decisions. But, happily, this case needs not to be provided for. Our doctrines and our formularies were settled at the Reformation : and the agreement or disagree ment of these with any opinions which may become matter of inquiry, is a question well suited to the habits of the Judicial Committee as now existing. And having assisted at their re cent deliberations, I feel bound to bear witness to the patient investigation which the question received, and the earnest desire of the members of the Committee to pronounce such a sentence as should be in accordance, both in letter and spirit, with our Articles and formularies. " But I beg to assure the subscribers to the address that they cannot be more anxious than myself to maintain the doctrines of the Church inviolate ; and that I shall always, by God's grace, employ any influence which my station may afford me, in promoting such measures as may appear likely to contribute to that end.—l remain, riy Lord, . _ " lour very faithful servant, "J. B. CANTU:kit " The Lord Bishop of Oxford." CHURCH DISCIPLINE ACT IRREGULAR MARRIAGES AT PARISH CHURCHES A court WAS held uu rrlduy, et the Diocesan Registry, St. Jamea's-square, Manchester, under the Act 3 and 4 Victoria, sec. 86, commonly known as " The Church Discipline Act," to inquire into a charge preferred by the Rev. Thos. T. Eager, M.A., Incumbent of Audenshaw, against the Rev. W. Wilson, M.A., Minor Canon of the Manchester Cathedral, that he had irregularly married two patties. For some time the clergy of the parishes adjacent to Manchester have complained that persons residing in their districts have been married at the Cathe dral, by which an injury was done to their rights as in cumbents, and also a laxity of discipline extended among their parishioners. In order to put a stop to this, a ma nifesto was issued November 26, 1849, directing attention to the following statutes, showing it to be the imperative duty of the clergy to satisfy themselves as to the truth of the statement of residence :-26 George H., cap. 33 ; 3 Geo. IV., cap. 76, sec. 7 ; 4 Geo. IV., cap. 72, sec. 17. The charge against Mr. Wilson divided itself into four sections or counts : Ist, that Mr. Wilson did, on the 15th of July, in the present year, solemnise a marriage between John Rothwell and Mary Smith, they being under the age of 21 years ; 2nd, that they were not resident in the parish of Manchester at the time of marriage ; 3rd, that he married them without receiving a certificate of the publication of banns in the parish in which they were resident, and without due inquiry to the best of his power, and as by law required, as to whether they were really resident at the places they named as their resi dence ; and 4thly, that if he did make such due inquiry he married them with the knowledge that they were not so resident. The commissioners appointed by the Bishop were, the Rev. R. Mosley Master, Rector of Burnley, and Rural Dean, chairman ; the Rev. R. Durnford, Re tor of Middleton, and Riiral Dean ; the Rev. Joseph Turner, Rector of Lancaster, and Rural Dean ; the Rev. Thomas Corser, Rector of Stand, and Rural Dean ; and the Rev. E. G. I. Hornby, Rector of Bury. The court was declared open, and a considerable number of clergy and influential laymen were present. After considerable .discussion, the decision come to was to the effect that the °large as set forth had been inquired into, and that the prosecutor had tendered no witnesses in support of the charge, witich seemed to have been con templated. They felt themselves bound not to accept the proseptor's statement per se, as there rvas not 511.05cieut LIVEIMOL STIVDAVII. evidence to-constitute &prima facie ground for prosecu tion. They did not. feel themselves warranted 'in adjourn ing the inquiry, as the prosecutor might then supply evi dence, which he had , not done on the present occasion. They were, therefore, unanimously of opinion that there was not sufficient prima facie evidence to warrant further proceedings being instituted against the party. The commissioners . then inclosed for the Bishop, under their hands and seals, the depositions of witnesses taken before them, and.elso•a report of their opinion. TO THE REV. DR. WNEILE. REV. Snt,—From your last letter I suppose that, like the public, you are weary of the newspaper correspon dence in which you have engaged me. I will sum up, therefore, in a few words what appears to be our differ ence. Let me add, in relation to your las. letter (I sup press the obvious sarcasm which suggests itself), that I did not, as you suppose, confound you with Dr. Chal mers. It is plain either that every one must be left to make out his own creed for himself from Holy Scripture, or else that some public authority must exist among men. The first is the opinion of Mr. Baptist Noel, which has led him very consistently into secession. But ho has shown clearly enough that the clergy are precluded from adopting this opinion, because a public authority is not only implied in the very principle of subscription, but is expressed in the statement that " the Church bath autno rity in controversies of faith." This principle cannot be abandoned till it is formally renounced, nor can the clergy profess to disown while they continue to subscribe it. And that such an authority exists, you seem to admit as plainly as I do. Our difference respects the seat of this power, which you attribute to the Crown, and I to the Church. And when I speak of the Church, I use the term in its common sense, as it is employed by the Church of England herself in her liturgy and formularies. In this sense :surely the Church of England is a thing as well known as the English State, though the last is a civil, the first a spiritual society. Now, why should not the Sovereign be the " chief member" of this society without possessing such irresponsible authority over its other members as you attribute to her? You beg me to read over again the canon which affirms that the King is " supreme governor in all spiritual or ecclesiastical things or causes." I never denied it; I affirmed only that the Queen's supremacy was legal, not absolute; and, again, that it was such a jurisdiction as had been assigned to the Crown by the ancient rules of the Church, and not that which had been enacted by recent civil statutes ; for the ultimate decision in points of doctrine was neither exer cised nor possessed by our Sovereign till it was given to the Crown by act of Parliament 17 years ago. Before that time the Crown did, indeed, appoint the delegates, but it was on the faith of a promise which bound it to acknowledge that the spiritualty had the right of inter preting doctrine. It is not necessary for me to say what kind of Court would now be satisfactory ; my protest is sufficiently vindicated by the fact that the Church did not suppose she was leaving doctrinal questions to the discretion of the Crown. As the Queen is supreme, therefore, in all civil things, and yet is bound by acts of Parliament, so her ecclesiastical authority may extend to all causes, and yet be limited in degree by the laws of God and the Church's principles. This is the " existing state of the law," as the Church understands it, which I am so far from saying to be " contrary to the law of Christ," that the very purpose of my declaration was to maintain and assert it. The contradiction, in which you fancy me to be involved, arises merely from your forget ting that the Church has rights as well as the State, and, therefore, that the obligations by which the clergy have bound themselves are not superseded by every new enact ment of the temporal authority. And in pressing this point upon the public attention I can cite you as a witness against yourself. Few clergy men have felt themselves called upon to take a more pro minent part than you in political disputes, and it has been especially on religious grounds that you have justi fied the warmth of your opposition to various measures which have been sanctioned by her Majesty. The public has not forgotten your remarks on Roman Catholic eman cipation and the Maynooth grant, or your denunciations of Jezebel. You did not at that time suppose that to interpret Scripture differently from the " chief member of the Church" was " refractory and rebellious" ; you did not think that in deciding what was right and wrong the private conscience of the Sovereign was " the only security the nature of the case admits of;" yet, if the clergy must teach whatever her Majesty decides in respect to the most momentous articles of the Christian faith, much more should they acquiesce in the lawfulness of any public act which she sanctions. As citizens they might think such acts unwise, but they could not, as you have done, denounce them as unchristian. Now, I pronounce no censure on your conduct, nor is this a mere ad homi nenz objection against yourself. You exercised a common right, which I have little doubt you would be the last to surrender whenever you found that the " Daniel come to judgment" gave an unfavourable verdict. I appeal, therefore, to the freedom of your acts from the servility of your principles. An Erastian when you hold the pen, you relapse in liberty when you mount the platform. If anything which I have written shall induce you to be more moderate and more consistent both in the one instance and the other, I shall be compensated for having been subjected to the acrimony which you have thought it fitting to employ, and whi^h it has been my hope and effort not to retaliate. The Royal supremacy, as I have already said, is secured by penal provisions, and if I have exceeded 410 oluim , Inm ready to abide the consequences. But it must be a weak mind which the injustice of an opponent could goad into abandoning everything which is precious among men. You must demonstrate your two assertions-Ist, that the Church of England considers the will of her earthly So vereign to be the final expositor of God's revealed law ; and, 2nd, that it is " an abuse of language to call her a spiritual body," before you can effect your unfriendly purpose of destroying my attachment to the Church of my fathers. Your obedient servant, ROBERT J. WILBERFORCE - _ POLITICAL MISCELLANY. It is said that Mr. Hill, the recorder of Birmingham, will be the new Baron of the Exchequer. On the South Cheshire registration the Conservatives succeeded in striking off 227 votes, principally those created by the Anti-corn Law League. Earl Stanhope has issued an address to the labouring classes of Great Britain and Ireland, urging them to exer tion for the abolition of free trade, and a return to the principles of protection. - . LEGAL APPOTNTNIENTS.—It is said that Baron Rolfe will be made Vice-Chancellor, and Sir John Romilly Master of the Rolls, in the place of Lord Langdale, who will resign in February. Sir A. Cockburn will be Attorney-General, and probably Mr. Page Wood Solicitor-General. The King of Denmark has presented a splendid tan kard to Sir H. W. W. Wynn, who, " as the representa tive of four British sovereigns to four kings of Denmark, has promoted the continuance of a good understanding between Great Britain and Denmark." The presentation took place at a magnificent banquet. THE PREMIER'S SOAP BUBBLES.—At the Collingham agricultural meeting on Tuesday last, the chairman (Mr. Barrow) said he understood that " Lord John Russell was amusing himself on the heaths of Scotland by blow ing soap-bubbles," and added, that " this was not at all improbable, because the Premier was always on the look out to see which way the wind blew." REACTION AGAINST PAPAL ENCROACHMENT.—At the Tring agricultural meeting, held last week, on giving the health of her Majesty, "in all matters ecclesiastical as well as civil in these her dominions supreme," the chairman, after remarking on the well-known steady loyalty of the agricultural body, added, with emphasis, that if her sway were insulted, or her rights assailed by Prince, by President, or by Pope, the farmers of England would I:now how to rally round her throne and rebuke the audacious presumption. This was received with repeated cheers. TAXATION DOUBLED BY RETURN TO CASH PAY INIENTS.—In 1812, a time of war, the government taxes amounted to sixty-five millions in money, and in wheat to ten millions of quarters. In 1850, a time of peace, the government taxes amount to fifty-two millions in money, and to twenty-four millions of quarters in wheat. So that taxation in real burthen, and owing to the depre ciating effect of gold money, is twice as heavy now, after thirty-five years of peace, as it was in time of war. . • Tux Pnnr.• . r QT , I,VAT firCf timn a inre the triumph of Protestant principles the Pope has ventured to erect in England, not a point of faith or a rule of conduct, but what must be regarded, if it be anything, as a form of government; and this is done by the very men who are stated without contradiction to have suppressed the prayer for the Queen in the Romish chapels of the London dis• trict. It is e•; idea that these transactions are tainted with a treasonable hostility to our national institutions ; and though it may be contended by legal formalists that there is no statute to compel a Christian congregation to pray for their Sovereign or to prohibit a spurious title, it will be not the less generally admitted that these acts constitute a moral breach of allegiance to the crown and to the country.—Times. Ministers had an unexpected cabinet-meeting last Wednesday, with regard to the conduct of Prussia in the Schleswig-Holstein affair. The governments of Russia and France have jointly proposed to the government of this country, that the three powers shall peremptorily require Prussia to fulfil her recent engagement with Denmark, and withdraw the support she still continues to give to the Schleswig-Holstein army. In the event of Prussia hesitating to comply with this reasonable demand, Russia and France are prepared to back it, not by an un profitable march to the territory under dispute, but in a way more congenial to their tastes—by an invasion of the Silesian provinces of Prussia on the one side, and the Rhenish on the other. In the first instance, however, they require the co-operation of England in the remon strance with Prussia, without which they are not prepared to move at present. It is understood that England de clines to join in the remonstrance, but proposes that each of the three powers shall remonstrate separately. WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE PROTECTIONISTS ? The question has been asked with great pomposity, " What has become of the Protectionists ?" I should like to ask another question—" What has become of Free Trade and the Free-traders ?" I should like to see the man—a man who calls himself a statesman, and has a pretence to knowledge of any kind whatever—who will come to me and say, " I am a Free-trader !" Is Mr. Bright a Free-trader ? if any man was supposed to be one, he would be. Well, Mr. Bright is a Free-trader ; but I want to know upon what principle of Free Trade he asked for a commission to inquire into th e b es t means o f promoting the cultivation of cotton in India, (Hear.) Do you call that Free Trade ? 'Well, but there is the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Charles Wood—is he a Free-trader ? I should like to hear bim review his Free Trade doctrines. I myself conceive that Free Trade means a total abolition of restrictions upon all trade whatever. Then, if Sir Charles Wood is a Free-trader, he will repeal the Malt Tax to-morrow, and he will also repeal all the taxes that press upon the agricultural in terest, and all the taxes that press upon the domestic in dustry of the country. If he does not, he is no Free trader. If they mean, however, that their Free Trade applies only to foreigners; let them say so, and ir, would be understood ; but they are not Free-traders unless they repeal all restrictions whatever. "Oh ! but," says the Chancellor of the Exchequer, " I must have a revenue ; the interest upon the national debt must be paid ; the dignity of the Crown must be maintained ; our institutions must be supported ; the army and navy must be kept up ; I must impose taxes to maintain the necessary revenue, for the honour, dignity, and very existence of the country depend upon it." Who doubts it? Not the Protectionists ; they quite agree in saying that it is perfectly necessary ; but what has become of your Free Trade ? The fact is, you cannot impose taxes upon this country, and at the same time carry out your doctrine of Free Trade. I care not who contradicts me, I tell them they cannot do it, and that if these are their principles tney will sink under them. "Oh I but," they say, " what we want is cheap food ; we want cheap bread." Now is that so ? Are they consistent in what they say ? Quite the contrary ; what they want is cheap foreign bread, not English bread. If they want cheap bread—if cheap food is their sole desire, allow me to ask why it was they refused Mr. Disraeli last year, when he proposed a reduction of the taxes that press upon the agricultural interests, and which therefore tend to raise the price of English grown bread ? If that was their sole desire, why did they not support his motion ? Does not the land-tax, do not the poor rates, do not the highway rates, do not the county rates, all press upon the agricultural interest ? and do not they prevent the agriculturalists in England from growing food at the prices at which they would he enabled to produce it if these taxes were taken off ?—The Marquis of Granby. RAILWAY AFFAIRS. The Electric Telegraph Company are about to extend the wires to Chester, and thence to Birkenhead and Holy head. The Lord Mayor of London gives a banquet on the 6th November to the chairmen and directors of the prin cipal railway companies. Messrs. Fox and Henderson, the contractors for the completing of the Cork and Bandon Railway, have been declared contractors for making the wire rope of the elec tric telegraph to be laid down between England and France. THE BRITANNIA BRIDGE.—The permanent public opening of the new line of tubes for the down line from London to Dublin took place on Monday, the great struc ture being now in all important respects made complete. The first experiment consisted in passing two locomotive engines through the tube, and resting them at intervals in the centre of the sections. A train of 28 waggons, and two locomotives, with 280 tons of coal, was drawn into all four of the tubes, the deflections being carefully noted. These deflections were ascertained to be exactly three fourths of an inch under this load. After repetitions of these experimental ordeals, which occupied several hours, the train of 280 tons, with two locomotives, was taken out about a mile distant from the tube, and then suddenly shot through it with the grea,est attainable rapidity, and the result was that the deflection at this immense velocity of load, was sensibly less in the way of undulation than when the load was allowed to remain at rest on the tube. The contrivance, by which the effects are indicated with great precision, consists in a large pipe containing water, laid along the lower cells of the tube, one end rising up within the tube at the centre, and the other end fixed against the stonework of the abutments of the bridge. Both extremities of the pipe are furnished with glass tubes and graduated scales, by which the relative levels of the water were easily ascertained. As the slightest leakage or evaporation over the ordinary thermometric expansion of the water would derange the level, while only half the actual deflection of the tube was registered at each end of the pipe, these disadvantages are obviated by the addition of a large reservoir of water in the inte rior of the tube, which is covered with oil and placed beside the graduated scale. This larger area exhibited the whole of the deflections at the abutment extremity, and the apparatus presents a perfect representation of all the deflections and phases of the great structure. The heaviest gales through the Straits do not produce so much motion over the extent of either tube as the pressure against the side of the tubes of ten men ; and that the pressure of ten men keeping time with the vibrations produces an oscillation of 11 inch, the tube itself making 67 double vibrations per minute. The strongest gusts of wind that have swept up the channel during the late stormy weather do not cause a vibration of more than a quarter of an inch. The broadside of a storm causes an oscillation of less than an inch ; but when the two tubes are braced together by frames, which is now being done, these motions it is expected will cease. The action of the sun at midday does not move them more than a quarter or three-eighths of an inch. The daily expansion and contraction of the tubes varies from half an inch to three inches, attaining either the maximum or minimum at about three o'clock a.m. and p.m. If a compass be held over any part of the bottom of the cells, the south pole is affected, and if held over the top of the cells, the north pole is affected ; and this effect is observable in all parts of the tube, whether at the centre or the end, although their position is only about ten degrees west of the mag netic meridian. Preparations are making for covering the tubes with a light arched roof of peculiar construc tion. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. The South Lancashire Coursing Club, under the patron age of his grace the Duke of Devonshire, held their first meeting of the season at Southport, on Thursday. John Massey Stanley, Esq., of Haggerston Castle, a few days ago, killed, over two brace of dogs and within the space of five hours, no less than forty-seven brace of part ridges, five snipes, one teal, one leveret, and one rabbit. . . Lord Stanley and Colonel Anson shot over a part of the Duke of Rutland's preserves, Newmarket, on Saturday last, and killed one hundred and ten brace of partridges, twenty hares, and seven rabbits. His Grace, who i 5 still unable to enjoy his favorite sport, witnessed the shooting, in his carriage, for some hours during the day. GRAND NORTH OF ENGLAND CHAMPION SCULLEYS' PRIZE.—This interesting event, which had been twice postponed on account of the boisterous state of the wea ther, came off at Newcastle, on Monday week. The prizes were £2O and a champion belt for the conqueror, £lO for the second, and £4 for the third, and £3 to be rowed for by the unsuccessful competitors. Five entered : namely, H. Clasper, R. Clasper, J. Candlish, A. Maddison, and W. Gilpatrick, all well-known men. There were three heats, and, in the final one, J. Candlish came in first by half a length. LAW INTELLIGENCE. The Board of Health enacts, by an interpretation clause, that the words " two justices" may mean ' one stipendi ary magistrate." Vice-chancellor Sir James Wigram has retired upon an annuity of £3,500, being the amount to which a vice chancellor, either resigning after a service of fifteen years, or disabled by permanent infirmity from exercising the judicial functions, is entitled. tstrut 4-ThelUS. There is a contest in Manchester for the mayoralty. One party is for re-electing the present mayor, Mr. Pot ter; but another prefers Mr. Alderman Mayson. Last week Jonathan Wolfenden was found dead in a shippon at Oldham, after drinking a large quantity of gin at a sale. The Judge of the Lancashire County Court has ad judged the East Lancashire Railway Company to pay £2 9s. to a farmer on the line for damage done to his farm by the trespass of passengers on the occasion of a collision, besides granting all other expenses. MANCHESTER NOT A CITY.—" What makes a city ? Whether a Bishopric or any thing of that nature ? " Answer.—'Tis according to the first charter which made them a corporation. If they are incorporated by the name of Civitas, they are a city; if by the name of Bar giun2, then they are a borough.—Selden's Table Talk. The large five story spinning factory of Messrs. Allen and Co., Butter Market-street, Warrington, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday. Two hundred hands are thrown out of employment. One man was dangerously injured by the rope breaking on which he was sliding from the upper part of the building, and a boy fell on some spikes and was killed. On Thursday week a quarrel took place between a fisherman and a sailor on Duddon Sands, near Calton-in- Furness, and blows were exchanged. A ship's carpenter named Kay, who was present, remonstrated with the fisherman, who, in a fit of exasperation, desired his daughter to fetch a gun, with which he took a deliberate aim, and shot Kay through the heart. The fisherman's name is Todd, and he has been committed to take his trial at the ensuing Lancaster assizes on a charge of man slaughter. The trustees of Owens College, Manchester, have cho sen Mr. A. J. Scott, Professor of the English Language and Literature in University College, London, to be principal of their foundation, with the professorial chair of " Logic and Mental Philosophy, together with Gene ral Grammar, the English Language and Literature." The salary will be £550 a-year, exclusive of fees. The Manchester Guardian states that the executors of the late Mr. Owens have intimated to the trustees that they have realised, and are ready to transfer to the credit of the trust, £75,000, from the outstanding assets of the estate. ABOLITION OF THE DINNER-HOUR IN THE MANCHES TER WAREHOUSES.—For some years past, the questio n of abolishing the dinner-hour, which intervenes so incon veniently with the progress of business in this town, es pecially in winter, when every hour of daylight is so valu able, has given rise to much discussion in the newspapers, but heretofore without any practical result. We are now enabled to state. however, that one important firm—that of Messrs. H. Bannerman and Sons—has resolved, as an experiment, during the coming winter, to abolish the dinner hour in the middle of the day, and to close their warehouse at five o'clock.-2lfancheBter Guardian.
