THE GREATEST CURES OF ANY MEDItINE IN THE GLOBE. • HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT. AMPUTATION OF TWO LEGS PREVENTED. Extract of a Letter dated Roscommon, Febrlitii - 11i1;, 1847, from the highly-respectable Proprietor of the Roscommon Journal. Sir,—Mr. Ryan, the well-known proprietor of the hotel next door to me, had two very bad legs, one with eight ulcers on it, the other with three, they were in such a fearful state that the effluvia from them was very great. Some time since he made a journey to Dublin for the purpose of consulting some of the most eminent professional men, but returned home to his fa mily with the choice of either one of two alternatives—to have both legs amputated, or die!—On his way home he met a gen tleman in the coach who recommended the se - of Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which he had r e to, and was per fectly cured by their means alone. (Signed) C RLES TULLY, Editor and Pro etor of the Roscommon Journal. To Professor Hollowa A CURE OF A DR FUL AND DANGEROUS CASE OF ERYSIPELAS. In the following remarkable case the lady had been both deaf and dumb from the virulence of the complaint. February 19th, 1847. Mrs. Gibbons, of Tivoli-place. Cheltenham, was for two years so dreadfully afflicted with Erysipelas that she became (how ever extraordinary it may appear) both blind and deaf. from the severity of the disease, and during the whole of the time she was attended by several of the most eminent medical men in Cheltenham, without receiving any benefit whatever, and, as a last resource, she tried Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which in two months perfectly cured the dreadful complaint, and like wise restored her to health. Mrs. Stoyle, the very respectable landlady of the New market Inn, Cheltenham, can bear witness to this cure. It can also be authenticated at the Stationers, No. 10, Arcade, High street,Cheltenham.

TO THE PROTESTANT CHURCHMEN OF THE EMPIRE, UNPRECEDENTED NEWSPAPER LIBERALITY.-THE WHOLE FROFITS BEING DIVISIBLE AMONGST THE FIRST TWO THOUSAND SUBSCRIBERS. E COURIER, a London General Weekly Newspaper of Politics, Com merce, Agriculture, Law, Literature, and the Fine Arts. Anxious only for the promulgation of the great principles of good government in Church and State, to advocate which this journal is started, the Proprietors have put forth a plan by which, with the co-operation of two thousand interested parties, they trust to extend its sale throughout the British Empire— Home, Colonial, and India. Their object is, not the receipt of profits to themselves, but the wide-spreading influence of their principles. To attain this their chief object, the plan now sub mitted to,the public has been adopted, and with every prospect of the most triumphant results. The pro well-conducted weekly journals are enormous. t e Dtsp tch is said to be £36,000 per annum ; and e Illustrated News, £20,0000; the former of which pro vould give £lB and the latter .elO per annum to each of two thousand subscribers. And as THE; COURIER be conducted with talent unsurpassed by that employed on any journal in the Metropolis, it will be seen that the subscriber must gain, as he will have a first-rate weekly paper for his money, besides the bonus he will be enti tled to, which may. in course of time, reach if not surpass the profits of either of the papers named; whilst no subscriber will be bound beyond the amount of his quarterly subscription, should he feel inclined to retire. OUR MISSION. The Church,—We shall uphold the Established Protestant Episcopalian Church, but shall demand its reform in the abo lishment of pluralities and sinecures—the equalization of clerical incomes, the reform of Cathedral Institutions, and the extinction of the Ecclesiastical Court. We shall also present an uncompromising front to Popery, whether in the shape of Puseyism, Romanism. or Shim Liberalism. India and the Colonies,—We shall require that these portions of the British Dominions be recognized as integral nortions of the Empire, have free commerce with us, and representatives in the House of Commons. The Excise,—We shall argue the removal of all the needless and vexatious restrictions at presentimposed, and shall heartily co-operate with the Anti-Excise Association of Scotland in their movement towards the accomplishment of this end. Politics,—Thorough independence. Measures, nut men— our motto. As a general newspaper, THE COURIER will equal any in the Metropolis—containing an unrivalled summary of all the news of the week, Political, Commercial, Agricultural, Clerical, Legal, Naval, Military, Literary, Dramatic, and Sporting, and no pains will be spared to place it in the front ranks of the British Press.

OF RELIGION IN SPAIN.—The state of religious belief in Spain, once the stronghold of faith, though a glooiny and superstitious faith, is indeed lamentable ; we have ourselves heard Spaniards,—civilians, soldiers, and priests,—express the opinion, that one-third of the entire nation are secret or avowed infidels : this may be—we would fain hope it is—an exaggerated estimate ; but, at all events, it comes from themselves, and indicates at the best a fearful condition now, and a terrible prospect for the future. There has been no bishop consecrated in Spain for nearly fifteen years, so that more than one-third of the sees are now vacant. We observe that a concordat has at length been entered into between the government and the pope, by virtue of which thirty bishops are now to be appointed : we trust it may be the means of re-esta blishing a better state of things than at present exists. The estimation in which the clerical profession is now held may be judged of by two or three significant facts (we speak from observation). First, it is a comparatively rare thing to see a ykung priest ;-2ndly, in the southern towns of Spain, the clergy seldom appear in the streets in their clerical dress until it begins to grow dark ; this, at least, was their practice until very lately ;—and, 3dly, we have seen them begging, even of foreigners, in the streets. Such at any rate, is the case, in Catalonia and Andalusia, and we have reason to believe it is not differ k.ent elsewhere.— Church .3f JErw4uid )tagazine. THE POWER OF RUSSIA OVER GREAT BRITAIN. The Russian system of banking is remarkable. That country, which has lately become one of the greatest gold producers of the world, employs for its own internal use a paper circulation, but the basis upon which that circulation rests, is commonly reported to be a sum of from thirty to forty thousand millions in-gold, lodged in the hands and at the disposal of the Emperor. This large amount of bullion bad hitherto remained unemployed, but Nicholas, observing that the French funds had, like our own, very much declined, and that bullion was the great desideratum in both countries, determined, with much apparent gene rosity, to step in to their rescue. No one save the Czar had any control over the keys which could open this hid den hciard, and with a discernment which does credit to his abilities, he set at liberty "the imprisoned angels," and in return for his unprofitable gold, purchased at most advantageous rates, a deep interest in the national securi ties of England and of Fran c e. The immediate result of that measure is a large accretion of revenue to the Empe ror, who is now one of our chief creditors,. for whom the manufacturer is bound to toil : the ultimate tendency is yet in the womb of time, but no thinking man will con template without alarm the power, which so gigantic and ambitious a state as Russia has thereby gained within the very fortress of our strength. If we continue in a blind and obstinate adherence to the system of the bullionist party, we shall give the Russian government such oppor tunities of enriching itself at our expense as no foreign po tentate has ever possessed before. It is quite well known that large purchases of national stock have already been made with the gold of the Muscovite ; and therein the au tocrat has acted wisely for himself—far more wisely than our enlightened rulers have thought proper to act for us— for he has put out the money to usury, and the basis of the Russian circulation, instead of being profitless gold, is now composed of British and French securities, bought in when the market was at its lowest ebb, and yielding a large return. If our monetary laws should still remain unaltered, and trade should notwithstanding revive, it will be the interest of the Russian, so soon as the funds have reached their culminating point, to sell out largely, and by forcing the gold from the Bank of England, create an artificial scarcity of the precious metal, which, followed as it must be by an immediate contraction of our paper cur rency, would cause a second panic, and a second prostra tion of the funds. By buying cheap and selling high—the favourite maxim of the free-traders—he would thus realise an exorbitant profit, and be enabled, should he choose it, to replace the bullion basis of the Russian circulation. But this, as a matter of course, he would not do. The low state of the funds would again offer an irresistible temptation. Fresh purchases of stock, this time made with our own money, would revive public confidence in Britain, and so things would go on, alternately rising and falling without any obvious external cause, but in reality according to the will of a huge foreign fundholder, who, with each successive movement, must be the gainer, whilst we deny ourselves the means of securing the equilibrium of our own monetary transactions at home. Under our present system, the sale or purchase of national securities to the extent of a few millions, has a wonderful effect upon the market. Add the further elements of gold exportation and paper contraction, or the reverse, and the effect be comes prodigious. The purchases already made on the Emperor's account, are reported to have been most heavy, and the process at the moment when we write, is being again repeated. This is, in reality, a subject of the gra vest nature, and it shouid not be passed over by the legis lature without remark. The Whigs, in all probability, hail such successive importation of Russian bullion, as so many pledges of returning prosperity, not seeing nor un derstanding the frightful price which we may hereafter be called upon to pay, nor the perils of that artificial fluctua tion to which we may be exposed. We have put our selves, as the experience of the last few months has shown, at the mercy of gold, and consequently at the mercy of any foreign power who can supply us with that coveted commodity; and so we must remain, if the plain sense of the nation does not rouse itself to sweep away the formula of our currency practitioners. —Blackwood. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, DEC. 4.—The brokers' officers have been but indifferently supplied with samples this week suitable for either grocery or refining purposes ; and though we cannot quote any positive decline, the market closes heavily. The demand for rum has been active, and about 300 puncheons, principally Jamaica, have been sold at fully former rates. The imports for the week have been 112 hogsheads, 3 tierces, and 100 bags of sugar. A QUEER ARTICLE OF MERCHANDISE..—WiII any gentleman, acquainted with the West Indian markets, inform us of the meaning of the following paragraph, which we find amongst the " Market Intelligence" in the last Jamaica Despatch ?—" ALEWIVES—Are scarce, and in good demand. The last parcel was disposed of at 255. per barrel." We imagined at first that, taking the word in its ordinary acceptation, the emancipated niggers of Jamaica had left off rum drinking and taken to beer in these hard times ; and that consequently " Alewives," of which we have a superabundance in this country, were in demand, and might be exported with advantage. The last sentence however put us all abroad ; for although " Alewives" have a very natural connexion with barrels, we never heard of their being " disposed of" at " per barrel," notwithstanding their liability, in common with other fallible human beings, to be disposed of by the strength of their contents. THE INFLUENZA IN SCOTLAND.—III the north of Scotland an epidemic of a most unprecedented and re markable character has, we are sorry to say, prevailed during the last two or three weeks. It began in Dundee, and then swept over the whole of..the east coast until it reached the extreme point of Kinnaird's head, when it took a westerly direction, and is now extending along the shores of the Murray Frith, and inland through the lower districts in the direction of Huntley, Keith, Elgin, to Inverness. It affects the system first by pain in the throat ; then follow headache, sickness, with expectora tion of a dark bilious-looking substance, and general debility all over the body. In the city of Aberdeen to such an extent did this epidemic prevail last week, that for one or two days University and King's College —now in session—was closed ; at Marischal College and Univer sity half the students were ill; at the Grammar School the same proportion were afflicted. At Gordon's Hospi tal, out of 150 boys, 55 were confined to their beds. The West-end Academy had to be shut up for r. few days ; and amongst, those who are able to attend the schools 'there was nothing to be heard but the incessant cough, as it the pupils were breathing a pestilential atmosphere. On Sunday the churches and chapels were half empty, and so general had the epidemic become among the clergy, that supplies for several of the pulpits had to be got from Edinburgh and other places in the south. At Montrose the epidemic has been equally alarming. One school was short 65 scholars ; another 60 ; a third 50 ; and so on ; the total deficiency in all the schools being 810 scholars. Some of the public works have been stopped for want of hands, and it may be said that in every family in these districts some one is ill. The weather, which had been damp and rainy, was considered to be the principal cause of tha disease. We are glad to hear that very few deaths have occurred. According to Punch, many enthusiasts, who, in the year forty-five, were prepared to th row - a viaduct across the world, are now scarcely able to construct a bridge to carry them safely over their last week's washing-bill. RED AND PALE ANGER.—The first is of a violent and explosive nature : it generally affects the sanguineous. The circulation of the blood is accelerated, the breathing is difficult and panting, the features flushed, the swoln veins are visibly enlarged under the integuments, the eyes flash fire and become injected with blood, the lips, con tracted, expose the teeth, the voice becomes hoarse, the hearing difficult, foam will occasionally issue from the mouth ; in short, the features assume the character of mania, arising evidently from a congestion of blood on the brain ; and under th e v i o l ence o f th e paroxysm the angry , fnodr perfectly e fe t c hn tly e i tn ,e a in n g l , Vi a ll m k a n n or ac r:o in r d e is s e ti r .a hn in i t , restraint, i l s iis in f d u e r e y d , uncontrollable. Such was the case of Charles VI., of France, who being violently incensed against the Duke of Bretagne, and burning with aspirit of malice and revenge, could -neither eat, drink, nor sleep for many days and nights, and at length became furiously mad; as he was riding on horseback, drawing ills sword and striking pro miscuously every one who approached him. In pale anger the liver, the digestive organs, are more engaged, and. jaundice, inflammation of the liver, bilious affections are ushered in. In this anger the circulation is languid, the pulse small and irregular, the breathing short and op pressed, a cold perspiration oozes from every pore, the teeth are locked or chattering, the eyes fixed and glassy, the features pale and contracted, a general tremor shakes the whole frame, and the hidividual sufferer, for such he is, appears overwhelmed by the exaltation of passion : he can scarcely•articulate a word, stammers his execra tions, and seems to seek for language sufficiently energetic and bitter to express his wrath. His countenance is so altered by the violence of his emotions that he is scarcely recognizable. . _ WHAT EDUCATION ts.—No school, however perfect its discipline, or admirable its machinery, as an en g in e of in tellectual development, can be an adequate substitute for a virtuous and well-ordered home. Now a little consi- - Aeration will show that this must be the case. When a teacher wishes to impress on the mind of his pupil a por tion of knowledge—a rule in arithmetic we shall say—he can multiply examples, and in every variety of form ; he can add proof to precept, and heap illustration upon illus tration, until, at last. the mind of the learner yields to their force, and becomes thoroughly penetrated by the principles in question. Let him now take a rule in morality—the duty of benevolence suppose—he may rea son, he may advise, he may exhort; he may show that this virtue is inculcated by parable or by precept, in al most every page of the inspired writings of the apostles ; he may prove that it is peculiarly evangelical virtue ; his hearers may cheerfully accord their intellectual assent t o everything he asserts.

Schools are in general more successful in their treatment of the - head than of the heart. The ethics of a school are but little developed except in a play-ground ; a fact, by the way, of the greatest importance, though but little at tended to ; and which proves how essentially necessary it, is, not; only that-s uc h- an a ppe n d age s hould be att ac h ed to every.school, but that the training and education which goes on there even more vigorously than during school hours, should be carefully superintended. To conclude. then: if we admit the great principle for which I contend, that the one true object of education is to implant and to cultivate enduring habits in our moral and our intellec tual nature ; and if still further we concede, that however emulation may strengthen the growth of the former,it is powerless for good as regards the latter; it will follow, as a necessary conclusion from these premises, that to attempt to test the force of religions habits by public examination, or to secure a knowledge of sacred subjects by ope n competition,- is neither conducive to religious training, nor consistent with the true scope of Christian instrue lime—Examination the Province of the Slate, by De.: Jainei Booth, F,8.N., 10. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL SUMMARY. The further reduction of the rate of interest by the Bank of England to six per cent. having not more than ninety five days to run, and the apparently improved condition of that body, together with the fact of a continued influx of gold into the country, has acted favourably upon the market for public securities. Commercial failures, how ever, continue to occur; and public feeling is kept in a state of great anxiety, with respect to the effect in India of the news of the stoppage of the Indian houses in this country. The fact of bullion arriving here, moreover, is not so satisfactory, as to our permanently improved position, as,it would have been, had it indicated a turn Of the tide of national interchange in our favour. It is admitted, on the contrary. that a large amount of the gold received has been remitted, by parties by whom distrust is felt in the commercial paper offering, and who prefer incurring the expense and inconvenience of this bulky mode of transmitting payments to the risk of meddling with bills, of the solvency of whose drawers and acceptors they are not satisfied. The improved position of the sus pended banks in our town, as well as the relaxation by others of the recent stringency of discounts, has afforded a sensible relief to our commercial community. The Royal Bank resumed business on the Ist, as announced ; and the directors thus far have met with a large amount of the confidence of the public. The North and South Wales Bank purpose an early resumption, the deficiency in their available capital caused by the large outstanding debts of £60,000, owing by the Birkenhead Commissioners, and £30,000 advanced to some Welsh collieries, being intended to be made up by the issue at par of 10,000 preference shares of £lO each, bearing interest at 7 per cent. A meeting of the shareholders was held on Wednesday, at which a very satisfactory statement was exhibited, by which the good assets were shewn to exceed the liabilities by £152,668. The affairs of the Liverpool Banking Com pany are also exhibiting an improving aspect. Our cotton market has declined since the arrival of the steamer ; and prices may be quoted nearly id per lb. lower, leaving off very dull. The sales for the week have been 22,600 bales, of which 700 American and 100 surat /were for exportation. The estimated stock in Liverpool is now 377,560 bales, as compared with 474,010 bales last year, leaving a deficiency of 96,450 bales. The still de creased consumption however, amounting to upwards of 8000 bales weekly, together with the certainty of early large arrivals, which the manufacturing interest are not likely to be, for some to come, in a position to take off, promises for us shortly a largely increased stock of that raw material, which will have to be warehoused and held over until wanted for consumption. The following extract from the monthly circular of Messrs. M'lslair, Greenough, and Irvine, of Manchester, may be taken as a fair exponent of the position of affairs in that locality : "Though business here is necessarily very far indeed from being in a satisfactory condition, it is peculiarly gra tifying to us to be enabled to communicate to you the existence of partial but decided improvement. In ordi nary times the extent of the improvement would scarcely have been perceptible, but following a protracted period of unexampled severity and prostration, it is naturally more felt and appreciated. " The operation upon the Bank Charter Act, and the recent reduction in the rate of interest, have contributed to produce this desirable change. The last movement of the Bank of England has been viewed very satisfactorily, not so much on account of the difference of one per cent. in the minimum rate of discount, but as a step indicative of returning confidence, and introductory to early and more substantial changes in the same direction. Money, at its present value, is incompatible with profitable mer cantile transactions, and must, while it lasts, continue to suspend undertakings admitting of delay. " Unhappily more failures—and some of them important ones—have taken place during the month ; a fact which has materially impeded the gradual progressof amendment. The market has.becorne so extremely sensitive—to an ex tent hitherto unknown to. us—that the mere existence of rumours, which would at other times have passed un heeded, produces, as it were, instantaneous alarm and fear. This, indeed, is no more than a ne c ess ar y conse quence. Confidence has been fearfully shattered • and however desirous all may be to witness its thorough re storation, the period of its revival cannot assuredly be de termined until the consequences arising from the suspen sion of so many firms can have been ascertained, and the consciousness which very naturally prevails as to the cer tainty of additional disasters shall have been removed. "'!he demand for the country trade has been very limited. Even in ordinary years, November is never a month of much activity, but the transactions of the present indicates pretty conclusively that the effects of the times are becoming more visible in this branch of trade. The suspension of many undertakings, and the consequent withdrawal of the sums hitherto in circulation, for the payment of wages, &c., combined with the scanty means of the operatives in the manufacturing districts, cannot but be severely felt. We are glad, however, to uerceive, that in this and some of the adjoining districts, there has been a considerable increase in the production during the month. Several mills which had either stopped or were working short time, have returned to full employment. Were it not for the sake of the operatives, any material increase at present in the production generally is not desirable. " Prices, though steadier and firmer than they were a month ago, are yet very irregular and determinable in many instances by the position of the seller. Stocks in the aggregate are much about the same as they were at the close of October." The advices from India, per the overland mail, received on Saturday, were rather more favourable for the cotton manufacturer. The market for cotton piece goods had been steady since the previous advices ; and although a large business had been done, and no material advance in prices was to be noted, an advantage was secured to the exporter by the greatly improved rate of exchange for remitting. In bleached goods no change was noted ; but in cotton yarn a large business was doing at better prices. There was no change, either, in woollens. Cotton for export had given way in price, and a large business had been done for England. Some extensive contracts had been made for the ensuing new crop at 98r. per candy of 784 lbs., laid down in Bombay and delivera ble in March. Freights to Great Britain had been abundant, and prices had receded in consequence. The circular states that—" For Liverpool, engagements have been made at £5 15s. and £5 17s. 6d. per ton, the former rate for an entire large vessel, and the latter for a small vessel. For London, £6 to £6 2s. 6d. has been given. The rates of the day are quoted £5 15s. to £6 for Liverpool, £6 to .£6 2s. 6d. for London. For China we quote 19r. per candy, at which rate a country vessel has been put on the berth. The exchange at Bombay had taken a sudden rise from ls. 10$d., which was the rate at the departure of the pre vious mail, to ls. llid. for first class paper, being an increase of Id. per rupee, or about 4 2-sths per cent. The money market continued easy. The reports from our leading corn markets are this week rather contradictory. In Mark-lane, on Friday, the trade was dull, and prices barely maintained for the best samples. In Liverpool, on Friday, wheat was 2d. per bushel and flour 6d. per sack or barrel lower, except choice fresh Western Canal, which commanded nearly the rates of the previous Tuesday. At Wakefield we may quote prices Is per quarter lower, and at Birmingham dull at previous rates. The markets on the Eastern Coast on the contrary were firmer during the week at advanced rates, ranging from ls. to 2s. 6d. per quarter. The news brought us from the United States by the steamer Washington, from .New York on the 22d ultimo to Cowes, will probably increase the depression which prevails generally in the trade, the markets in America being reported as dull, at receding prices, and large stocks being expected to arrive at the ports, owing to the River and Canal Navigation being open. As to the extent of the cotton crop, some esti mates are carried as high as 2,500,000 bales.

The returns, however; must be left for further observation hereafter. A correspondent sends us -the gratifying intelligence that the deposits in the Royal Bank, which resumed busi ness on Wednesday—have been three times the amount of the money drawn out: Confidence is, in fact, quite restored to this establishment.. We announced last week, the receipts on the previous w e have received £120,000 i n add i t i on from the day from America; by the Caled o ni a , o f £ 156,000.

The East India firm, the state of whose affairs has ex cited so much interest in the city for several day's past, is that of Fletcher, Alexander, and Co. Applications had been made4o the bank for an advance of £300,000, but it was stipulated that this could be conceded only on the house providing guarantees for its repayment. The ne cowry ILA was fully complettil on Friday, and submit- ted to the bank court for their decision. That decision has been favourable. The affairs of the General Maritime Assurance Com pany, now in course of liquidation, with heavy loss to the shareholders, show a most lamentable state of manage ment. The total premiums received since the first year's working in 1839 amount to £898,846, contrasted with the losses in the same period of £960,245. There are other outstanding losses, which will probably, in the end, greatly swell this last-named item. It does not yet seem certain what course will be adopted to effect a final disso lution. the crops of Egyptian produce taken in last April and May were rapidly coming down to Alexandria from the Upper Country. They are generally short, and that of Wheat in particular was deficient. Prices were quite nominal, holders preferring to ship on their own account rather than submit to a reduction. There were, conse quently, very few transactions. In cotton nothing had been done for some time. The exchanges were looking up. London was quoted at 991- piastres to the pound sterling ; foreign coins, and sovereigns in particular, were in great request. Advises from Bahia, to the 23rd of October, have come to hand. There was at that date a fair demand for manufactured goods, but prices continued low. Little business had been transacted in sugars, which were quoted from 19s Id to 21s 9d, for white, and 15s 6d to 16s 5d per cwt., free on board, at the current exchange of 27d. The transactions in cotton were exceedingly limited, but cocoa was in fair demand. In exchange about £20,000 sterling had been negociated at 27d. Freightage to the Channel was marked 60s to 655, and London 555. From Rio de Janeiro, under date of the 16th of the same month, the rate of exchange upon London is quoted at 274 d • Paris, 344 to 345 reis : and Hamburgh, 640 reis. The local Six per Cent. Stock was 86. The markets were inactive. THE TRACTARIAN MOVEMENT. The Tractarians are straining every nerve to prevent the elevation of Dr. Hampden to the Episcopal bench. Among their efforts, the Rev. A. Percival, of All Souls' College, Oxford, has written to the Mayor of Oxford, the following letter:— St. James's Place, Nov. 27, 1847. SIR,—I request you to strengthen my hands, who am endeavouring to relieve the Queen and her Ministers from embarrassment, by presenting from your body a memo rial to the Queen, embracing the whole or such portions of the matter set forth in the accompanying paper, or of the nature of the same, as shall seem to your judgment most expedient. I request the courtesy of an answer to this application. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, ARTHUR PERCEVAL. To this the Mlyor returned the following very proper, but no doubt, unexpected reply. REVEREND SIR,—I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 27th ult., addressed to me in my capacity of Mayor of Oxford, and to inform you in reply, that I must decline complying with your appeal, considering that a Town Council is not the body best adapted to arbitrate in theological matters. I must, however, add, that Dr. Hampden's manner of life and teaching in this plare, has been such as to secure for him general respect and affection. and that it is very improbable that the Town Council of Oxford, if appealed to, would comply with your suggestion. I have the honour to remain, reverend sir, Your obedient humble servant, R. C. GODFREY, Dec 2 1847 Mayor of Oxford. To the Rev. A. P. Perceval, &c., The diocese of Exeter is the place where, perhaps, the Tractarians are especially active, and the following letter from a clergyman in that diocese deserves republishing : " MR. ARCHDEACON.—Having received an invitation to attend a meeting about to be held by you (in answer to a requisition to that effect), relative to the elevation of Dr. Hampden to the episcopate, and the writer not having attached his name and address, I feel myself called upon to signify to you my inability to attend the said meeting, and briefly to state the reasons why I cannot agree to any protest against Dr. Hampden's appointment. I do so, " First—Because I am credibly informed that the accu sation against Dr. Hampden originated with a committee of six individuals, one of whom (Mr. Newman) has since seceded to the omish Church ; another of whom (Mr. Sewell) has pronounced Dr. Hampden's lectures " admi rable ;" a third (Mr. Hill) has subsequently voted in favour of Dr. Hampden ; and a fourth (Dr. Pusey, who is believed to have been previously hostile to Dr. Hamp den) has himself fallen under the condemnation of the university. " Secondly—Because I find that the petitions against Dr. Hampden (during the period of excitement upon the subject) were signed by less than one-third of the resident members of Convocation : and that eleven heads of houses, and three out four of the public examiners, were amongst Dr. Hampden's supporters ; and that there is good reason to believe that the great majority of the non-resident members of the Convocation took upon trust the repre sentations of the committee—without having themselves read the lecture throughout—upon the good old maxim of 'Audi alter= partem.' " Thirdly—Because Mr. Newman himself disclaimed imputing any unsoundness to Dr. Hampden personally. And, lastly—Because Dr. Hampden's criminated lecture was mutilated and garbled (in order to make out a case,) in the face of his own plain declaration in the body of that lecture, that 'The only difficulties on the doctrine of the Trinity arise from metaphysical considerations ; ' and that The truth itself of the Trinitarian doctrine emerges from these mists of human speculation like the bold, naked land, on which an atmosphere of fog has for a while rested and then been dispersed.' If the object of the meeting be (as it professes tobe) to consider the propriety of petitioning the Queen, perhaps you will not think it inconsistent with that object that my letter should be read to the meeting. " I beg for myself to add that, holding as I do (ex animo) the doctrine of a Trinity in Unity, my only object in this protest is, that 'truth and justice, religion and piety' may not be endangered by any hasty or unadvised proceedings upon the matter in question. " I have the honour to be, Mr. Archdeacon, " Your very obedient servant, " R. B. BRADLEY, " Curate of East Teignmouth ; Incumbent of Ash Priors and Cothelstone, Somerset." A Row IN DUBLIN THEATRE.—On Thursday night the performances at the theatre in Dublin were honoured by the presence of the Earl and Countess of Clarendon. The theatre was crowded to suffocation ; not a seat was unoccupied in box, pit, or gallery, and numbers left who were unable to procure even standing-room. Their Excel lencies, on their entrance, were greeted with unanimous plaudits; but, as the performances proceeded, there was considerable interruption, caused by cries of "No coercion," from a knot of " sympathizers" in the upper regions, in termingled with a taw faint hisses for the Viceroy, which were speedily drowned by counter-cheers from all parts of the house. The Premier was not so fortunate, Isis name having evoked a storm of disapprobation, which was followed by a lonely cheer for Mr. John O'Connell, and a somewhat warmer one for Mr. Smith O'Brien. But the uproar was not at its height until the national anthem was commenced, when the manifestations of displeasure were most unequivocal. For nearly five minutes not a note could be heard ; eventually, however. the storm wore itself out, and the rest of the evening passed over without any further serious ettempts to mar the evening's amuse ment. The play selected was, Much Ado about Nothing. Mr. and Mrs. Kean sustained respectively the parts of Benedict and Beatrice. DREADFUL OCCURRENCE.—On Saturday morning, a fearful discovery was made at the house of an old dealer in apparel and stores, Mrs. Yoell, living in St. Mary street, Portsmouth. Smoke was observed issuing from the front window of the house 'at the above time, which led to the inmates being summoned, - when no answer being obtained, the house was entered by the neighbours and nolice, and a most horrifying spectacle presented itself. On the floor of the bed-room lay the body of Mr. Henry Yoell, burned to a cinder, and Mrs. Yoell was dis covered crouched down in a corner of the same room insensible from the burns she had received. She was im mediately removed to the residence of another son in Queen-street, Portsea, where, however, death put an end to her sufferings in a few hours. The frightful catastrophe is supposed to have originated by the ignition of the bed furniture in which Mr. Henry Yoell, aged 60, a cripple and bedridden, was lying, and it is supposed Mrs. Yoell sustained the injuries by endeavouring to render assist ance to her son. Mrs. Yoell was 85 years of age. Mr. Piercey, surgeon, who was called in, is of opinion that Mrs. Yoell was killed by inhaling or swallowing some suffocating matter in endeavouring to render succour to her son. Mrs. Yoell had opened a window before she was over-powered, it is supposed, to call for help to let out the smoke. IRISH ASSASSINATION.—In the course of the recent debate Sir G. Grey read the following letter. It -was ad dressed to a lady whose husband had been denounced : " Madam,—As a token of gratitude I write to you these few lines, apprising you of your approaching fate. lam to inform you that . unless Mr. MsCausland becomes a better landlord in this country, he will share the same fate as the demon Major Mahon did. There are resolu tions made in this country to take down all the tyrants of landlords ; he, Mr. M`Causland, is numbered amongst them, unless he changes, and give a full remittance of all the arrears that are due to him, and begin in the new with his tenants; as to think he is far from the rath of this country, it is useless, the Connaught men are determined, and may perhaps meet him in his own demesne. There are two appointed for the expedition ; they are to begin their journey on the 11th instant. I hope you will not suf fer yourself to be a widow, the same as Mrs. Mahon. As to Ross Mahon the cries of the starved and desolated have reached the head, and, after shooting him, he is. to be hanged and quartered, unless he quits Ireland. There is a fund at present in this country, the subscribers chiefly Nov. eo l u 2 n , ty 1847; Londonderry." Logf6nrl : Nov. 12, 1847 ; Dublin, Nov. 13, 1847 ;in America, for shooting oppressors.

'Ad dressed on the outside, " To Mrs. M'Causland, Fruit-hill, post-office,Sadti Y :olzestoan, Nv Postmarks, a: Newtownlima vady, 14, 1847." Another most extraordinary illustration of the prostration of moral feeling was incidentally stated by Sir R. Peel:—" He had him se lf t o d eta il exac tly simi lar cases of organised conspiracy. I n on e instance three men were hired by a person of some respectability to as sassinate a magistrate near Clonmel, and they did so, their reward being two .guineas each.

Peel) VW obliged to JAY him." tl LATEST FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. SWITZERLAND. The latest news from this quarter reports the rah mission of the Valais, which had been officially an nounced to the Vorort by Colonel Millet. The Diet were to meet on the 2nd instant, to appoint federal re presentatives for that capital. With respect to Neufchatel, the accounts before us are conflicting. It was hoped it Paris, however, that the Prussian Government would tale no hostile steps in consequence of the adhesion of Neuf chatel to the League—an event deemed all but certain. A correspondent of yesterday's Times, writing front Lucerne, under date Dec. Ist, says : " At the moment I am about closing this note, prepa ratory to starting for Berne to-night, an incident is born performed under the windows of the Scheisgerhoff, the General's head quarters, which has taken every:Jody, ars it were, by storm, and must remove the least doubt which could have been entertained as to the heartfelt joy occa sioned by the restoration of peace to this lately distracted country. Thousands of people, including the first bur gesses of the city, have assembled in the open space, bear ing torches, and after serenading him with a hymn, the chief of the Council of St a t e d e li vere d an e l oquen t : ha rangue, which was received with loud and continued cheering. General Dufour presented himself on the bal cony, and returned thanks in a modest speech, in Whie.k he spoke highly of the discipline and efficient service of the army he had the honour to command. "The assembly then struck up a national hymn, ` 'leftist du mein Vaterlanu,' which, singularly enough, happens to be the same air as our ' God save the Queen.' They are still singing inspiring melodies." THE LATE ACTION TN SCINDE, The following despatch from Lieutenantl4Grewether gives a painfully-interesting account of the late action in Scinde, a brief notice of which is given in the inteili g e nee brought by the Overland Mad : " TO MAJOR. JACOB, COMMANDING FRONTIER, RHANGUR. " Sir,—Having received good intelligence of the whole Boogtie force having entered the plain, as already reported to you, I have the honour to inform you that I started at half-past one o'clock on the morning of the Ist of October' with a party of the Scinde Irregular Horse, amounting to 133 men of all ranks, from Shahpoor in pursuit of the enemy. I arrived at the Zemanee river just as it became light enough to see clearly the track of the enemy.. I ob served a spot in the bed of the Zemanee river where they had apparently halted for a short time—from the marks, I was of opinion that their strength might be 600 or 700 footmen, with a small party of horse. I thence pro ceeded, according to your instructions, along the foot i i n ou a d d vance, ca of the small hill, intending to take post in the T egwag h, thinking that the enemy would certainly r et urn th at way, and the ground being favourabl e fo r cava l ry to act upon. However, I had not proceed e d a quarter o m m e ed ba K ck h a e n yr d ee in , fo whormedwas inc a short of a mile beyond the Timanee ' river, when J an M a - - homed had distanceheard that he shout ing and much noise in the direction of Kouree. My de tachment was marching in column of troops. I wheeled them into line, and proceeded in the direction of Kouree, when near the jungle about that place, I saw the enemy formed in a deep and long line to the left. They ap peared to be making a side movement towards the jungle. I therefore posted rapidly along their front, to cut them off from the jungle, and drive them to the open plain. They were at this time posted on some rough broken ground, with sand hillocks and bushes, but apparently fancying, from my galloping along their front, that I did not intend to attack them, they left their vantage ground and rushed forward to attack me, with much firing, loud shouts, and howls. This at once gave me all 1 wished for, namely, a fair field. I immedi ately changed front to the left, which the men did most steadily, as if on parade. When my change of position was executed, I charged. The charge was made steadily and rapidly with irresistible effect. The Boogties had formed a solid mass to receive us, but were overthrown at the first onset with terrible loss. They then moved off towards the hills, distant about three miles, in disorder, but shouldering together as closely as they could. We continued our attacks, killing numbers, until, on recross ing the Zemanee river, they made another short stand. They were again overthrown and driven into the open plain. They were now approaching the low hills, when Russadar Shaik Ali, very judiciously getting some men in advance, cut them off from that place of refuge, and they turned back towards Kouree. Their numbers were now getting small, but, though repeated offers of quarter were made to them, they obstinately continued to fight until the destruction was so great that their numbers were reduced to 120, many of whom were wounded. At last, seeing re sistance utterly hopeless, they were induced to throw down their arms and surrender. Not a single footman escaped capture or death, and two horsemen alone, out of the whole force of the enemy, stated by the prisoners to have been full 700 in all, including thirty-five horsemen. Among the slain are several chieftains of note; in fact, all the leaders of repute in the tribe. " There were also many others, esteemed as warlike character, but of less note, killed. Neither Islam Khan nor AlimKhait was with the party. " Our own loss has, I am happy to say, been trifling when compared to the result, as shown by the annexed return of killed and wounded. Nine of our horses were killed, and ten wounded, seven of them mortally so. . Amongst the wounded is your own horse, which I was riding at the time. He has received two severe sword cuts, one on the loins, close behind the saddle, and the other on the heel. " Before I fell in with the enemy, they had attempted to plunder the village of Kundranee, whence they were beaten off by the head nit n, Deen Mahomed Kyheree, in splendid style, Dom Mahomed and his people killing the notorious Chutta,' Jakranee, and others, and taking one prisoner. Three determined attacks were made by the Boogties on the fort, and at one time the assailant 3 had actually reached the top of the wall, but were thrown back by the defenders. " All my native officers and men behaved well in this affair ; nothing could be more perfect than the steadiness and quickness which they showed throughout. " I saw four Sowars each kill several of the enemy in fair stand up fight, hand to hand; but nearly all must have done equally well, although it is not possible for me to specify every man's deeds individually. I beg leave also to remark, that the des:iuctive effect of our little carbines, used in one hand, at close qulrters, was quite terrible to behold. Every shot appeared to kill or disable an enemy, who were often, by reason of the b us h e s an d broken ground, enabled just to keep out of sword's reach. The hostilities in the River Plate have been tempora rily adjusted, by the mediation of the British authorities. The Journal Des DAats announces that the French Government has determined to establish a regular steam communication between Bourbon and Suez. The case of the Rajah of Sattara, as the last mail has announced, is at length removed from human jurisdiction, and this famous prince is no longer numbered with the living. His death will at length close a dispute which seemed to defy any ordinary settlement. THE WEATHER IN RUSSTA.—About the beginning of last month at St. Petersburgh, the thermometer rosefour or five degrees above freezing point. This unnatural state of the weather continued until the 16th, when a violent storm, accompanied by a heavy fall of snow, began to blow from the north. At the same time the waters of the Neva rose with such rapidity that the authorities con sidered it necessary to fire cannon every half hour to warn the inhabitants on the banks of the rivers to take precautions against the overflow of the banks with which they were menaced. Fortunately the waters fell on the lith, and the temperature again became warm. FRENCH EQUESTRIAN COMPANY AT THE ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. We noticed briefly in our last the unique performances of this excellent, and to an English audience, original company ; for certainly we had not previously had the pleasure of seeing in any English arena so perfectly ap pointed a troupe, and feats so classical and striking. Our own Ducrow, some years ago, brought equestrianism to something nearly approaching to perfection. His tourna ments and pageantry, his well-trained steeds and daring riders, were.the admiration and the wonder of the lovers of sight-seeing. He was followed not far in the rear of excellence, if at all, by the American Comq any, Batty, and others. But the artists of Mons. Dejean, and the tout ensemble of the entertainments introduced are of a totally different character. You know at once from the dresses, features, &c., of the performers, that although in an English theatre, you are not gazing upon an English scene. From the riding-master to the clowns, from the acrobats to the riders, male and female, everything smacks of the locality of Paris and Franconi's. The talent of the whole of the troupe is quite as striking as their appearance, &c., is novel. Amongst the female portion of them, Mdlle. Caroline, whom, we dare say, many of our readers have seen at Vauxhall, last season, is alone a host. Mdlle. P. Anato is also a sur prising rider, daring and full of gracefulness in her varied evolutions. The boy Loisset is a most wonderful little being, made, we should almost imagine, of Indian rubber, or, if of flesh, with cartilege only, instead of bones. The acrobats and the male riders who arc too numerous for us to refer to them more particularly at present, are very superior performers. One of the latter, a young boy, particularly pleased us, and was loudly cheered by the audience. We ought not to forget the clowns, who, it will be well to remind our juvenile readers, do not wear the absurd paint of the English " Mr. Merriman," or deal in the same backnied drolleries. Their practical jokes are full of a higher order of humour; and one of them, M. Auriol, is amongst the most graceful and won derful riders in the 'arena. rger establishment entertainments ADELPIII TIIEATRE.—BATTY'S EQUESTRIAN COM PANY.--The attendanc e a t thi s th ea t re h a s not at all de creased, nor the a ppl ause w hi c h t h e p er f o rmances excite, been at all di m i n i s h e d , notw i t h s t an di ng the powerfacom petition which Mr. Batty has had to sustain against the and were excellently sustained.

GILES'S ROOKERY.—On Saturday, the occupiers of thy. only remaining part of the notorious St. Giles's rookery, called Church-lane, received notice to quit their rooms, &c., the whole of the houses coming down forthwith for the opening of the new street from St. Gilek:i Church to New Oxford-street.
