A telegraphic message from Berlin announces that the United States g ove rnment have intimated to the Danish Cabinet that they consent pro visionally to let alone the question of the Sound Dues, whilst negociations are proceeding on the subject amongst the European States, at the same time they do not recognise the principle which the question embodies. The Roxburgh Castle, from Port Phillip, is telegraphed off Plymouth, with dates from Mel bourne to the 6th March (being nine days later than previous advices), and gold to the value of about 240.000/. on freight. The tendency of the various Stock Markets con tinues favourab!e. The Funds are especially strong. Consols have to-day touched 95, and though a slight reaction was observable towards the close, the final quotations were still 1 per cent. above those of Saturday. We may quote the final rates at 941 to 945, Purchasers for the Scotch Banks, the approaching deduction of the dividend, the steady influx of specie, the improved appearance of the Money Market, and the hope that lower rates of discount will gradually be established, combine to stimulate the upward tendency of the Consol Market. There was a good demand for money in commercial channels to day, but the current rates ' continue below those of the Bank. On the Stock Exchange the supply is very abundant, and short loans upon Government Securities could be obtained to day at the unusually low rate of 21 per cent. At Paris, to day, the Three per Cent Rentes closed about R per cent lower than on Saturday. The Railway Share Market, to day, was generally better, although the upward tendency was re strained by the approach of the settlement.

PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING A report to the Minister of the Interior from the Mayor and other gentlemen of Paris who got up the subscription not exceeding five sous a head for presenting a " homage " to the Empress on the occasion of the birth of the Imperial Prince, makes known that the number of subscribers was 600,000, and the amount received upwards of 80,000 f (3,2001.) The Minister, in thankfully acknow ledging the donation, announces that the Emperor and Empress have resolved not to accept it, but to employ the revenue of it in the name of the Imperial Prince in placing the orphan chil dren of workmen in respectable workmen's families, so as to provide them with a new home; and, in order that at least one hundred orphans may be provided for, the Emperor has undertaken to add 1,2001. annually from his privy purse to that revenue until his son shall be old enough to make the donation himself. The Journal des Debats, on several occasions lately, and again to-day, rebukes the London papers for addressing excitations to Italy, and warns the Italians not to run away with the notion that the English government will do anything more for them now than it did in 1848. Notwith standing the warning of the Debats, the telegraph informs us that agitation is spreading and becoming really serious in all parts of Italy ; also, that a line of-battle ship, the Royal Albert. is about to be despatched from Malta to cruise off Naples. We have accounts from Constantinople to the 15th. The Sultan had conferred the Order of the Medjidie on the Emperor of Austria. The evacuation of the Turkish territory by the Allies was, according to the convention concluded, to be terminated by the 30th of September; 7,000 Sar dinians, 55,000 French, 9,000 English, and 16.000 Turks, have already left. Not fewer than 17,000 Tartars had left the Crimea. Marshal Pelissier was to leave in time to be in Paris for the baptism of the Imperial Prince. The quarantine on foreign vessels at Odessa had been raised for four months. The Divan had refused to recognise the independence of the Circassians, and the deputation had consequently left. PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING The expense to which the fetes, for the baptism of the Imperial Prince, will subject the munici pality of Paris will, I am assured, on excellent authority, be enormous. A very modest sum will, nevertheless, be announced ostensibly, in order not to frighten the public. What the probable amount expended will be, I am afraid to mention — indeed, it is not exactly known yet, even by officials; but you may form some opinion of the scale on which it is proposed to do things, from the fact, that an entirely new service of plate, for the Emperor's table at the banquet to be given to his Majesty and the Empress, at the Hotel de Ville, has been ordered, and that its cost has been upwards of 10,0001. sterling! For a long time past,judicious people have been of opinion that the municipality of Paris, what with demolitions and improvements, and new streets carried right through blocks of houses, and fetes on public occasions, and extravagant hospitality at the Hotel de Ville, causing bread to be sold for months and months for less than the nest price—Was marching headlong to some. thing very like bankruptcy. And this belief will not be lessened by the announcement in the papers of to-day, that a bill has been brought into the Legislative Body, with the sanction of the government, for authorising the municipality to borrow no less a sum than 50,000,000 fr. (2,000,000/. sterling)-10,000,000 fr. of this to be employed in paying off outstanding claims, and the remainder to what is called the Caisse de la Boulangerie— that is, the office from which the bakers of Paris obtain the difference between what bread costs them, and that at which they are obliged to sell it. As I told you months ago would be the case, the government has presented a bill to the Legis• lative Body, for authorising a loan of £4,000,000 sterling to farmers for draining operations. Augustin Thierry, the historian, was buried to-day, and a vast number of literary and political notabilities attended his funeral. According to the Journal des Debats, the Pope intends to summon a sort of Congress, of Italian Princes, at Rome, to deliberate on the state of Italy. A Frankfort paper says that France and Austria have come to an understanding on the terms of a cir cular to be addressed through their diplomatic agents to the reactionary potentates of Italy, recommending them to adopt, without delay, such reforms as may prevent a popular explosion. The German papers repeat, what I said several days back, as to thelprobability of the Emperor of Austria paying a visit to some town on the Rhine, and of the Emperor of the French going to see him there. THE LITERARY AND DRAMATIC SOCIETY.—The perfor mance, annually given by this society in aid of the funds of the public charities of the town, took place last night at the Theatre Royal. The House was crowded in every part by a brilliant audience. Of the performances, the pressure on our pages to-day precludes the possibility of a notice, THE TOWN DUES. LOCAL CHARGES ON SHIPPING (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) HOUSE OF COMMONS, MONDAY The select committee, appointed to enquire into the local charges on shipping, met this morning in Committee-room, No. 11. Mr. Lowe in the chair. The other members present were Mr. Horsfall, Mr. Hardy, Lord Hotharn, Mr. Vance, Mr. Beamish, Mr. Watson, Mr. Milner Gibson, Mr. Fenwick , Mr. Duncan, and Mr. Moffatt. On the assembling of the committee, Mr. Alderman Ban. croft was recalled, and made some explanations in reference to some portions of his evidence, as to the alteration in the consti tution of the dock trust, and the refusal of the then chairman of the dock committee (Mr. Henderson) to affix his seal to a proceeding of the dock committee in opposition to a course taken by the town council. His explanations were with a view of showing that the town council wished to have the management of the docks, but Mr. Hors fall explained to the committee that since the period alluded to (1849) there had been an alteration in the dock trust, which lessened the power of the town council over the management of the docks. Mr. Thomas Livesey, one of the commissioners for iimproving the town of Rochdale, for eighteen years, examined by Mr. Lowe : Was directed to attend the enquiry on behalf of the commissioners. He attended the enquiry at Liverpool on the question, and then stated that the town dues at Liverpool acted injuriously on their interests. He now repeated it. They wero paying an enormous amount into the pockets of the people of Liverpool, for which we have no consideration. - The population of Roch dale is about 30,000. The trade carried on there is the cotton, woollen, iron, and other trades, in which about 15,000 hands were engaged. Their trade was merely export, particu larly in cottons and woollens. Not being a wearing district, they rhielly exported their yarns. On imports alone they paid £2,500 in town dues to Liverpool, exclusive of what they paid in exports on cotton, woollen, and other goods. This was within the borough. In exports they paid a great deal, but there was a difficulty in gaining the exact amount, because they sold the chief of their goods to the Manchester manufac turers, who again sold them, and exported them at Liverpool. He was, however, of opinion, that the Liverpool town dues paid on exports would amount to two thirds of the dues paid on imports, being altogether about £4,100 paid into the pockets of the Liverpool people. Mr. Horsfall : Of course what you have just now stated you have been told? Witness : Oh, no, it must be so, because when I was at Liverpool they pleaded guilty to our paying these dues. The Town Clerk was present and he said nothing. (La ugh ter.) By Mr. Lowe : I do not object to these dues on the ground of the parties who impose them. If they were properly expended for the benefit of the port, we should, perhaps not object to them, but it is not so. They go into the pockets of the people of Liverpool. Last week I was in Liverpool. and I saw a lot of soil being thrown into the river, which I am sure would injure it. lam a non-nautical man, but it is somebody's duty to see that the river is not filled up, if we are to pay these dues for the benefit of the port. (Laughter.) Mr. Horsfall : How much of the cotton on which these dues are paid, is on Rochdale account ? Witness : I can- not say. Mr. Horsfall : Speaking of the articles that you manufacture on which these dues are paid, I presume that you get it back from the consumers? Witness : Yes, because we charge so much more on them, but then it affects the interests of the consumer, and therefore it is the duty of parliament and the county to take this weight off our backs. Mr. Horsfall : Although you say this weight was on your backs, you also say you did not feel it before the commission on this question was ifsued. Witness : We did not know of it. (Laughter.) But that did not make it more unjust when we did discover it. (Laughter.) The Liverpool people had all the benefit from the town dues: They bad even built seven churches, and kept seven parsons out of them. (Re newed laughter.) Mr. Horsfall lay it is the consumer in the country, and not you, as manufacturers, who pay these dues ? Witness : Why, we pay them at first. Mr. Horsfall : I presume, from what you have stated, that you would make these town dues a national question, and allow the whole of the country to be represented in their expenditure? Witness : Why, 1 have already said that these dues are paid chiefly by traders and others, who live from forty to fifty miles around: Rochdale ; and therefore, as far as that distance goes, I would like to see us represented by on independent board, having power over the expenditure of all dues, paid on exports and imports from the Mersey, whether you call thorn town dues, or by any other name. The management of these kind of dues, beyond the distance I have named, I would leave in the bands of government. Mr. Horefall : What department of government. Witness : The Board of Trade. Mr. Horefall : Why, do yon not think that commercial gentlemen, residing in places like Liverpool, rather than the Board of Trade, presided over by a peer, are best able to manage the appropriation of these dues ? Witness : I would leave parliament to settle that, and send down whom they liked. I see, from the papers, the other day, that some local board, at Liverpool, was kicking against the Board of Trade, and had come to what they called a dead lock. `Mr. Lowe : Do you not think that your interests would be in better hands in the Board of Trade, than in the bands of the corporation of Liverpool ? Witness : Oh, yes, I would rather have them in the hands of the Board of Trade. (Laughter.) Mr. Horsfall: I believe that when you made your com plaints before the commissioners at Liverpool, the corporation told you, that according to the property they had in these town_ dues, you had no right to interfere ? Witness : They did, but we thought we had. Mr. Horsrall : But if the corporation could prove to you that they have a legal right to them, would you the❑ think that you had a right to interfere ? Witness : I cannot suppose they have any such right. Mr. Hersfall : But lam supposing a case: Suppose they have a legal right? Witness : Oh, it would be a national injustice, and I can't think they have any such rights. (Laughter ) Mr. Horsfall : Well, sir, if the government thought proper to take away a quantity of your property to which you be lieved you were legally entitled, would you not consider that that you ought to have compensation ? Witness : If I had earned it, of course I should. The corporation ought to do something for it, and then it would be fair to compensate them if it was taken away. (Laughter.) Mr. Horsfall : But suppose that the case which you think impossible is possible—that the corporation have a legal right to this property, do you not think that compensation should be given ? *Witness : I cannot but think that the corporation of Liver pool never had a right to this property without performing some duty for it. All properties has its duties as well as its rights. (Loud laughter.) The honourable member not being able to obtain a direct answer from the witnozs, declined to int errogate him any further. In answer to further questions from other members of the committee respecting the legal claim of the Liverpool corpora tion to the town dues, the witness steadily refused to acknow ledge any right of the corporation to the town dues. Mr. Hardy : Suppose the corporation of Liverpool had purchased these dues yesterday, would you take them away from the corporation without compensation. Witness : It seems to me to he monstrous that sueh dues should exist at all. I don't think that in the present day any govern ment would attempt to sanction or propose the levying of such dues. If the town dues were expended in the improvement of the port in any way, then we shouid not he here. (Laughter.) Mr. Lowe : If compensation were to be paid for the abolition of these town dues, by whom do you think it ought to be paid? Witness : I think the people of Liverpool themselves ought to pay it. They ought to disgorge what they have got, and what has enabled them to build their fine places. (Laughter.) We, at Rochdale, build our public places with our own money. We tax ourselves for it, and if we were going to build a Georges' Hall (we have not the money yet), we should have to pay for it ourselves. (Renewed laughter.) After some further questions put to the witness, he retired. Mr Crossley, M.P. for Halifax, examined by Mr. Lowe : Said he was a carpet manufacturer there, and employed 2,000 hands. He complained of tile injurious effects of the Liver pool town dues with regard to the articles used in his trade ; in wool, cotton, and oil, and other articles used in the dyeing proceires. Mr. Lloyd was recalled, for the purpose of making an explanation of his evidence respecting the town dues and dock dues ho paid, respectively, hut it was not material. Thomas Weld Blundell, Esq., of Ince Blundell, called and examined by Mr. Lowe : He entered into an explanation of the right which the corporation of Liverpool claimed to levy toll dues on vessels passing between the Ribble and the Mersey opposite land belonging to him, and in right of which he was lord of the manor. The witness entered into a history of his rights, commencing with the reign of Charles 11. Mr. Vicars, an iron manufacturer at Sheffield, complained of the amount his firm paid in town dues, on both imports and exports coming through Liverpool, which amounted to £1,500. Mr. James Watson, of Birmingham, provision merchant, complained of the heavy rates he paid on butter, bacon, an d other produce coming to him through Liverpool. Mr. John Charley, of Belfast, steam agent, complai ne d o f the hardships imposed upon the fir with which he was con nected, as carriers, by the oper ation of the Liverpool town dues. They interfered with their profits. when compared with the traffic between Belfast and Fleetwood. Mr. Gaddy, secretary of the Harbour Commission at Belfast, was next called : He said ho was summoned to attend before the committee, as a public officer. In answer to questions, he said that the harbour of Belfast paid £1,759 a year in aid of the Liverpool town dues. Mr. William Gibb, director of the Commercial Association of Manchester, was the next witness called. H e was under examination when the committee adjourned at four o'clock. THE BIRKENHEAD DOCKS' BILL. (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER) LONDON, MONDAY NIGHT, The select committee appoint e d to enquire into the bill promoted by the corporation of Liverpool, in refer ence to the Birkenhead Docks, met to day at twelve o'clock, Sir William Clay in the chair. The other members of the committee present were Sir Joseph Paxton, Sir E. Dering, and Mr. Bouverie. The first witness called was Mr. Hawkesley, C.E., who was examined at considerable length on behalf of the promoters by Mr. Sergeant Wrangham. His evidence was generally directed to flushing, and the sediment and silting up after low water. On this part of the question be warmly pronounced himself in favour of the plan proposed by Mr. Hartley. Amongst the witnesses who followed were several merchants and shipowners of Liverpool, all of whom expressed themselves in favour of Mr. Hartley's plans, which they thought would be a great convenience to shipowners as regarded the docking and loading of large vessels. These witnesses included Mr. Charles Maclver, Mr. Hamilton, of the firm of Brown, Shipley and Co., and Captain Judkins. Mr. James Aiken was the next examined : He gave zenPral evidence in favour of the plans proposed by Mr. Hartley. _ _ He was cross-examined at some length by Mr. Calvert, and at the close of his examination, the committee adjourned until to-morrow, when it is expected the ease for the promoters will close. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORD =3.—MONDAY. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE INDIAN GOVERNMENT A discussion arose upon a motion made by the Earl of ALBEMARLE for the production of certain letters relating to India, but with no result—the Earl of Albemarle withdraw ing his motion for the present. The Whichwood Forest Bill was read a second time. The Marriage Law Amendment Bill, and the Procedure before Justices (Scotland) Bill, were read a third time and passed. The Peace Preservation (Ireland) Bill was read a second time, after a few words from the Earl of DONOUGHMORE, who complained of the manner in which the measure, the olject of which was to render perpetual some of the pro visions of the expiring Crime and Outrages Act, had been introduced, and suggesting that the Crime and Outrages Act should have been repealed, and a bill re-enacting certain of its provisions introduced. The LORD CHANCELLOR brought in a bill founded upon the recommendations of the commissioners, upon the subject of the Appellate Jurisdiction of the House of Lords. The bill was read a first time. Their lordships rose at a quarter to seven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. THE MILITIA. In reply to Mr. GROGAN, Mr. PAL said that where a militia regiment was dis embodied, no portion oontinued in receipt of pay, except those of the permanent staff of the Adjutant-General and Quartermaster-General. Replying to Mr. PALK, Sir C. WOOD stated that the gallant conduct of certain of the coast guards of Fowey, and others, in rescuing the sole survivor of a wreck close to Fowey, had been brought under the notice of the Admiral,/y, and measures had been taken to reward them. JOINT STOCK COMPANIES BILL On the motion for going into committee on the Joint Stock Companies Bill, _ _ . Mr. SPOONER wished to learn what alterations had been made in the measure. He objected to the principle of the bill, which, he considered, was opposed to the commercial interests of the country, and would ()Den a way to fraud. He complained, also, that the measure had passed a second reading without adequate consideration, and for these reasons moved that the House should go into committee on that day six months. Mr. LOVE explained that the bill was materially different from the Limited Liability Act, but that the alterations from the former bill were purely of detail. The House had, after listening to a full explanation of this measure, affirmed its principle without a division, and he hoped, therefore, that there would now be no objection to allowing it to go into committee. The amendment was then negatived, and the House went into committee. The various clauses, amounting in all to 110, were agreed to after considerable discussion without any material alterations. Clauses were added on the motion of Sir F. KaLLY, to enable the court after tho winding up to cull persons sup posed to be possessed of documents or of information. Another clause was added, authorising the punishment of directors for falsifying accounts by two years' imprison ment. The schedules were then agreed to, and the bill pasted through committee. PARTNERSHIP AMENDMENT BILL, On the motion for the second reading of the Partnership Amendment Bill, Mr. A. HASTIE opposed the measure, on the ground that no want of capital in this country had been shown to justify its intro3uction. He moved, as an amendment, that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. GREGSON seconded the amendment. Mr. CARDWELL and Mr. BAXTER supported the original motion, which was opposed by Mr T. BARING and Mr. MASTERMAN. Mr. CowAN then moved the adjournment of the debate This motion was negatived, on which there appeared— For the adjournment Against it Majority Mr. LOWE defended the measure, and Mr. ATIIERTON and Mr,IIORSFALL opposed it. . _ Upon a division on the amendment to postpone the second reading, the numbers were— For the amendment . , For the second reading 66 97 31 Majority The bill was read a second time Sir William Fenwicke William's Annuity Bill was read a second time. The House adjourned at two o'clock. TUESDAY, MAY 27, 1856 WE do not know of anything in the celestial or tersestial phenomena of Europe which forbids the peace, prosperity, and general refinement of its inhabitants. On the contrary, the diversity of its soil and climate, the variety of intellectual tastes, which are only equalled by the uniformity of mental capacity, leave nothing to be desired - - to render a more limited region of the world perfect in all that belongs to human greatness and happiness. Ages have rolled on without wit nessing earthquakes, or other physical irruptions to lay waste our rich cities, and bury whole com munities in their ruins. Comets, after a sup- posed absence of thousands of years, do appear in in our planisphere, but they leave no visible trace of their devastating influence behind them. The Heaven and the Earth preserve an Edenit( harmony which favour nations in their efforts to benefit our species. The opportunity thus afforded of ameliorating the condition of the great family is not wholly lost. There are good men always ready for the immortal work. War alone interrupts their labours. Each epoch of peace has added millions of wealth, and inestimable strength to the stock of those who have diligently applied themselves to the duties of national advancement. A glorious triumph has crowned the struggles of all who have laboured rationally for success. Man's industry and intelligence could never boast of such trophies as those which Western Europe possessed at the close of the late forty years' peace. In that short space of time how many men have fought their way from the plough to the peerage— from the loom! to the Senate ? The exhausted means of nobility have been replenished by the earnings of the artisan, the successful student of science, and the enterprise and perseverance of the trader. The word, aristrocrate, can scarcely be applied with propriety to the amatory union of nobility and plebains e see in these times. Those fueds which at former periods dated from the sticklers for cast, have passed away with that mare unequal distribution and vast increase of wealth which we have seen within the last few years. The long cherished animosities which existed between the people of the several European States, have nearly all vanished as international intercourse and enlightenment have progressed. Every nation which belongs to the family of the Old World would gladly be left at this moment to purify their own institutions, and manage their affairs more in accordance with those of their more tolerant and civilised neighbours. They ask only to be left to them selves, to effect those changes in the laws under which they live, which would entitle them to be ranked among the nations of Europe. Those who still retain an independent existence, ask for a constitution that they may be released from the persecution of despotic and irresponsible rulers. To justify this demand of the minor Continental States, we need no more than the current history of the day. But why should they appeal to Eng land or any other Power on such subjetcs? Is it because they know we are interfering, and will continue to interfere, in matters which do not concern us, except as philautrophists and Christians? What right have we to intermeddle politically in the affairs of any other people ? We took part with the Turks against the Russians, but that was for high moral objects, and not merely for the sake of having to say, we induced the SULTAN or his subjects, to adopt a form of government which was likely to remove all further complaints. Wheu we went to war for the Otto man's, we knew what we were about, and showed the world what the popular opinion of this country is, with regard to foreign en croachments on the territory of the SULTAN, and shores of the Black Sea. But once we embark in talking of plasters for all the chronic sores of the Continent, who will venture to say where we shall be able to stop ? Let other States interfere where they please, but let Great Britain never lay herself open to a charge of the sort, except it is forced upon her by some gross breach of friendship, and disregard of international obligations. We know pretty well the fate that awaits those who will take the concerns of others into their hands. There are luminaries who show themselves in the great European Constellations, and who bode no good to our race. They burst suddenly in upon our system, dazzle their beholders with their vividness, and then disappear, leaving th; historian to describe their eccentric orbits in the blood they cause to be shed. Whether the nine teenth century is to witness more than one of these sub-lunary meteors, is purely a diplomatic speculation, which appears to be bAsed on calcula tions quite as abstruce, and as far beyond an ordinary understanding, as those by which astro nomers laid down the movements of Heavenly bodies. Of this, however, there can be no doubt, namely, that Great Britain cannot follow, with safety, any Continental government, in schemes for the remodelling of courts and countries. We have quite enough to do with our own Chtrch and State affairs, without risking the peace of the world a second time, by undertaking what conflicting pas sions, and antagonistic interests, will not allow us to effect, except at the point of the bayonet. Let a MURAT take any Italian throne his supporters may choose to give him. Let all the Continent become BOUNAPARTIST, but keep England out o f schemes of personal aggrandisement, and all attempts to extend the Imperial sway of any par ticular State. By what we have gained in peace we may mea sure what we have to lose by bloodshed. We have shown our strength to all nations, and Europe may ask herself where the power of Southern Russia would have been to-day had the war been continued. The British know their strength better than any other people can understand it, and we can afford to rest satisfied, and leave intriguers to embark in projects of political humanity, and diplomatic justice, without claiming a participation in the post of honour, simply to share.its dangers. We have felt constrained to fix public attention closely on the tendency of our foreign policy at this critical moment. England can have no locus standi by the side of France in matters relating to Rome or the Papal States. The spirit of our institutions forbid us either to prop up the Pope or trample down the people of Italy ; while that delicacy, which ought to guide the actions of nations as well as those of individuals, enjoins us to decline any interference whatever in questions where we should not be looked upon as impartial arbitrators. Give Rome and all Italy to France, and if the French can keep their church, and if the Italians can support French rulers, Europe will lose nothing by the transfer ; but are these speculations in which this country ought to take a part, while the United States 'are preparing for hostilities in which we may be involved sooner than we expect? THE COURT OsnonNE, May 25.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, Princess Alice, and Princess Helena, attended Divine service at Whippingham parish church this morning. The service was performed by the Rev. G. Prothero. Prince Frederick William of Prussia, and Prince Ernest of Leiningen, also attended the service. AusTRALt.A.—The Roxburgh Castle, from Melbourne, has been telegraphed off Plymouth, with advices to the 6th of March. TILE BLEACH WOIiKS BILL.—John Waring (Bolton), Joseph Perrons (Nottingham), and Stewart Fletcher (Manchester), delegates from the operative bleachers, on the subject of the bill now in Parliament, for limiting the hours of labour fur women and children in bleach works, had an interview with Viscount Palmerston on Saturday. The deputation was headed by Mr. I. Butt, M.P., and Lord Goderich, M.P., accompanied by Mr. Sturgeon, barrister. THE HEROES OF Kazis.—lntelligence has been received from St. Petersburg, that General Williams and his stall quitted that city, en route for England, on the evening of the 20th inst. We are informed that they propose to travel by way of Konigsberg, Stettin, Berlin, and Paris, to Loudon. At St. Petersburg they were courteously welcomed ; and their passage from the Caucasus to Moscow, is represented to have been one long triumphal _parch. We need not say bow warm a welcome awaits at home men who so gallantly sustained the military reputation of their country under such adverse circumstances. THE LATE FIRE AT TIIE J - JUSKJSSON DOCK. —At their meeting on Saturday last, the watch committee passed a resolution expressive of their thanks to Colonel Sir Duncan $d Tongan, the officers and men of the Royal Lancashire Artillery Militia, fur their zealous exertions at the recent fire at the Huskisson-dock, by which a vast amount of valuable property had been saved. __ DANGEROUS EFFECTS OF READING MEDICAL EVIDENCE. — The following facts we have from the parson who was effected, and who is a person of veracity, but subject to nervous irritation. He had read and studied the medical evidence given in the case of Palmer, at tho Central Criminal Court, and paid very deep attention to the question of tetanus. Ile thought so much on this point, that be began to feel premonotory symptoms of the disease, and in some time utter was actually attacked with it, at least, to all appearance, the disease was the same. Medical aid was at once procured, and the most prompt measures were resorted to, and we are glad to say that the gentleman recovered, and is now quite well—having been cured as much by sound reasoning on the subject, as by medical skill. FINIIi.. --- - , -.----•-'.-- MACNAUGHT ON INSPIRATION TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir, —Referring to the letter on this subject, addressed by a local clergyman to the editor of last Wednesday's Cotieart' will you allow me to offer a few remarks. I am sorry that a layman should have to set a clergyman right on matters of his own profession. The Rev. Josiah B . Lowe is considered, doubtless, a clever man by his own congre gation, and is generally admitted, by these who have heard him, to be a very rapid and fluent speaker; but whether pro fundil and accuracy goes hand in hand with fleetness of thoug ht has yet to be seen. There is one charge which has often been s uccessfully brought against our established clergy, which is that of then' being continually in a fencing mental attitude. They ass prevented. seeing the truth of any view, doctrinal or otherwise d, which does not square, or seem at once to sq uare, with tb,a formularies and articles of the church, to which the y are ohlig" to swear allegiance before they can enter upo n those verY studies which are to fit them for judging of such Mr. Lowe's letter shows, if this charge ever had any forc e, iw applies strongly to the incumbent of St. Jude's, Liverpool. He rises from the perusal of Mr. Macnaught's book, and Is so engrossed with his pre-conceived views that he cannot B,° the force and tendency of the author's arguments which ho ass erts pretends to criticise, For example, Mr. Macnaught that the scriptures are not infallible in doctrine --they ha:l6 been admitted fallible in science and morality by authorities of and out of the church—Mr. Macnaught adduces, in support; matters. the affirmative of his proposition, numerous instances of rellg i s ous discrepancies. Mr. Lowe, in order to prove the negative, (.14. not touch any of the chief religious discrepancies alleged hY in Macnaught, but raises objections to the interpretat ion of certan minor texts which Mr. Macnaught had quoted as subsidary illustrative evidences of his argument. I waive tho rig of insisting that whatever is infallible, and is to be a rule e t ' life to the poor and ignorant, should require no expla: ) ,al;': but be so written that ho that runneth may read. t r o forgetting Lowe, forgettin that if even out of 100 points in h is oPPenejnald arguments he should successfully explain away 99, be vr still leave his opponent master of the argument ; for one siegi; error proves fallibility. If I might venture to offer Mr. LZ , a hint it would be, if lie really fancies he can overture uc_ Maenaught's arguments, to take up the details of Mr . 4%1 0 naught's plainly written book, and reply to each p al—t °- seriatim. Nothing less than that will accomplish Mr. 1) purpose. P. the Another instance of the emasculating tendency of popular church system, is given by Mr. Lowe, where - be 53) 1 ::, " if the Bible is not infallible"—the thing, by the bye, state . - proved—" bow can we demand of any one belief i n an y ment of Holy Scripture, which may seem to him to bee ontralY: to reason, or which may really be above its range ? Take, 11;1,, example, the doctrine of the atonement, as a case in point.„ I presume, Mr. Editor, that the doctrine of the atonement 1, received by all Christians, but that those Christian s who v 31:: the rights of private judgment, and who bear i n mind fully ; Scripture contains such maxims as " Let every man be: a persuaded in his own mind," and let him be prepared to glve an! reason for his hope to every enquirer"—that such Christi hold this doctrine of the atonement, and all other doctrines r 0! as unintelligible jargon, but as rational and clear l y reveals u truthwould,- It surely, be a gross iniquity to say to Palmer, oak is now on his trial, we must find you guilty of poisoning C°°/„. and others; because, if we acquit you, the consequences nzilY n t that any one may poison his wife, brother, or friend, e assurance that no strychnine will be found after d eath, and yet it is precisely in this way that Mr. Lowe looks at the suPl)°. consequences of granting his opponent's arguments, be`orit he ever inquires whether the facts are so or not. ,„ is tho apparent intention of Mr. Macnaught to DPP' ) the system, generally known as the Baconia n philosopobrYo; to religion as well as to the sciences ---to f : theories from collected facts, and not to bend facts theor'ese't: as used to be the practice in those ages in whic h the grfaiter portion of our doctrines were formed ; but Mr. Lowe eit does not understand, or else does not choose to understand, '— author's drift. Again, Mr. Lowe complains that Mr. Macnaught's essaYße,t:, up human remon and consciousness as a tribunal to w it; k. , every man is at liberty to submit the Scriptures. I would as does not Mr. Lowe do precisely the same thing? 11 c. LO t i l when it suits his Pt otestant prepossessions, will interpret , text, " This is my body," &c., in a metaphorical sense, where% when thescriptures speak of a millenium or Jewis h restoratoeira at Mr. Lowe is not only quite content to take them in a " „ t blf sense, but he will insist on their being so taken , I " ' 'ate crave of Mr. Lowe to say how it is that he learns to differ to on these occasions ? Does a little bird tell him, as we s i al t h: children, or is it his human reason and consciousness. )- `rn latter, why does he not allow to others what he claims for W ow self? Can there be true religion where there is unjustiee ? l i t so not. Must not the tree be known by its fruits? Air'."%g and his party appear to me to go radically' sr °.; when by confounding so called doctrinal orthotle',:, with practical religious faith, they attach more portance to a man's belief than to his practice. or'ti,, Lowe gives an instance of this in his defence 1 doctrinal infallibility of the Bible, when he 1u P Peter, "compelling" the Gentiles at Antioch to follow the erroneous teaching of a corrupt example, was less euiP a io than he would Inve been if he had erroneousl taug ht ' Y t rio same Gentilos by heretical word of mouth. There Is, to accounting for taste. If Mr. Lowe prefer a corrupt eolllll`,e an erroneous instruction, by all means let him be indulgea his choice ; but on either alternative the inspired AP,,s.thio Peter is manifestly acknowledged to have been a fa ''' . to teacher of the religion whic:r he was miraclously se that teac M h. r lig r. Lowe seems to contemplate the possibility °' „ I embracing Socinianism, if it should be decided that man use his human reason in the reading of the Scriptures. I shallg watch for him to see if ho keeps his promise. Reserv.,; also, further matter for a future occasion, A I main LAY l ' O '" obedient servant, AN AMATEUR DETECTIVE CA'J AT LAST DISCOVERY OF STOLEN PROPER' arrested a woman, On Thursday last, officer Carlyle, of the detective l'''' land, in Dublin-street, in this town, on s ' a ncion of ba r: l i4 some stolen plate in her possession. He 'l to ' took her to N'''; named Susan iNl'Donald a native of Scot' clicster, and proceeded to search her house, Si " late at NC'. ti I.
