THE account of the victory gained by the Turks on the 4th, .near Oltenitza, is confirmed by the Moniteur: Oltenitza- is within seventeen leagues of Bucharest—the base of the Russian operations in Wallachia,: and being an important post the Russian Generals made a desperate attempt to oust the Ottoman army from its position in that quarter. A fierce and sanguinary conflict ensued, which lasted the greater part of two days, when the total loss to the Russians amounted in killed and wounded to 1,200. ln this instance one of the braveSt . and most distinguished of the RusSian Commanders, with the flower of the AUTOCRAT'S army under him, has been signally defeated— having nearly all his Officers slain, and several of his Colonels wounded. The Turks numbered on this occasion only 0,000. Such a victory gained by so small a band of men, proves the omnipotent power of true 'Patriotism when directed against serfdom and superstition. Accounts further state s that the Chasseurs of the OTTOMAN force, who were armed with Vincennes carbines, made terrible havoc among the officers of the Russian army. Letters of the 20th, frOm the Danube, mention that all the forts and batteries' established on the right bank of the river were completely armed and defended by numerous garrisons, and that two corps de reserve were organized, one to prevent the Russians from crossing in case they attempted any thing of the kind, and the other to second the movements of the Turkish troops operating in Wallachia. The opinions we have so repeatedly expressed with respect to the dilatoriness of the British CABINET obtains in distant qttarters. The Paris Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle writes, as follows, on this subject :—" I must say that it is rather humiliating to England to hear the doubts thrown out here as to the sincerity of England .in. supporting Turkey. The general belief is., that the . French Government is in earnest, and would hate proceeded to extremi ties before now, .but that it is: prevented by the hesitations of the. English Government. It is in vain that we Englishmen endeavour to' show the contrary—nothing, will convince the French. vnyinee them that the English Briit-18Ciett45.n.ei not to desert Turkey, what ever the consectileiticrinaY be ! and that it C0ntin ..1..... Ues negotiattfons solely with the view of exhaust , in; all pacifie-nieThCpf conciliation before having recourse to ii46l4t4;ta ratio. .These arguments have very lit 4 I,rtbere, People will persist in thinking thaCtuglan‘i is not in earnest; '£1,114 they even hint at some secret influence in high place;• which is supposed to be working in favour of Rus- • sia." Surely when such grave allegations are made it-is high tier e for - Lord : ABERDEEN and his col= leagues, by prompt interference, to remove the Barne—,provided, indeed,. they carry,not with them the force of truth. Can it be that the Imperial 4 Conjurer has the British CABINET really in his con juring box. THE last returns of the Bank of England show that this institution is the recipient of only a very. moderate portion of . the large amounts of bullion and specie imported into this country.. The in crease shown in their stock of.bullion for the week ending Saturday, the sth inst., is only 408,8611., while the imports for that period amount to 42,260/ The excess of imports over the exports of gold for . the preceding financial week was no less than 1,314,4541. In order to elucidate fully the actual Movements Of bullion, we find it necessary, how ever, to reprint the table of exports and imports . which appeared in the banking article of the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES of the 31st ultimo ; in which the iMports and exports are estimated as follows: FROM AUSTRALIA. Oct. 24, per ship Eagle £250,000 „ 25, „ Charlotte Jane 155,288 „ 26, „ Argo 567,777 FROM THE UNITED STATES Oct. 22, per ship America 98,389 „ 26, „ Baltic 200,000 „ 26, „ Arabia . 243,000 973,065 541,389 Total imported Deduct gold exported 200,000 £1,314,454 When we published this return we took occasion to make the following observations :—" This; total, owing to the -loose way in which the returns are made, may be a few hundred pounds more or less. In the meantime, they are sufficiently correct, to show that the amount actually received by the Bank of England is but very little .oirer a fifth of the amount imported for the week ending October 9. The question then - is : What has becoine of the surplus in the imports over the exports ?" The increase shown in the bullion deposits of the bank in the last weekly returns, being only 340,478/. against 1,314,4541. of surplus imports, it conse quently follows that the sum of 094,9761. remained in the hands Of the public, or had been deposited in other. banks, . . To trace out the real source'of absorption of so large au amount of -the imports of the precious metal, is most difficult and. no less important, in the present juncture of our foreign and domestic affairs. The imports of gold for the week ending Saturday, the sth instant, are as follow : AUSTRALIA. Nov. 1, per ship Royal George // 77 Bombay 206,622 WEST INDIES. „3, „ „ Madelina . . 90,438 90,438 PORTUGAL. 4 , ~ Tagus UNITED STATES. Oct. 1, „ „ Arabia 243,200 Total Imports. , Deduct Exports 54:5,260 120,000 Total surplus over exports £425,260 The SurPlus in the imports of gold for the week being 425,2601., and - the increase in the bullion de posits of_tlAcl3ank of England being only 408,8:61/., it follows that the balance remaining in the hands of .the public, or . deposited - in other banks,• is 83,6011. This latter amount, added to the sum of 094,9761., makes a total of 1,078,5771., which can only be accounted for by assuming that it still remains in the hands of the public, or has been deposited in other banks. - Should this idea prove erroneous this matter will require the most search- ing - investigation. In the meantime the fact of the Bank Returns having failed in supplying us with anything like a reliable index as to the real monetary, position of the country, : the mercantile circles must look to some other source for that data which is so essential to the success of their daily operations, and more distant transactions. The sum at present deficient, as it were, is 994,9761., and it would bepre posterous to suppose that such a sum could by any possibility have passed into circulation without ap pealing in our banking returns. If the monthly statement of the private and joint stock banks show that they have received the large amount here al luded to, then the question arises how far those in stitutions are justified in following in the restric tive steps of the Threadneedle-street guides, and increasing the evils' to Which trade and commerce are exposed, by a combination which threatens to rob them of that very popularity which has so mate rially strengthened their position Within - these last three years ? Lombard-Street is capable at any moment of 'go verning the steps of the Bank of En - gland ; and the joint stock banks are a still more potent power. The shares of the latter are as goOd'investments as any bank stock in the United Kingdom. Specula tors deal and dabble in the latter, while the public hold the former, for which a quotation is seldom found in our stock markets. It must also be re membered that joint stock banks were originated, encouraged and regulated by the most enlightened: men in our legislature, as a necessary and great counterbalancing power in the State. The argu ments advanced by PITT in favour of joint stock banks, and the caution which became a crotchet in PEEL, are all embodied in the law which regulate those .adjuncts to the monetary institutions of the EMpire. That they should forget their origin, use, and power, within legitimate limits, and run 'tip the ladder of- high - rates of interest, in pur suit of the ignis fatnus of Threadneedle street, is to show a want of that sound discretion and fore sight, which does not augur well for the future.. spread as these institutions are : over the manu facturing districts ; they are in ft better position to know the state of trade in their respective localities —from being essentially, commercial in their origin and operations, they must of necessity be better able to judge of thelndneywants of their customers, and they have no right for mere fiscal or political . reasons to follow the trade-mulcting steps of an in stitution which relies for stability on the political condition of the Empire. The time has now arrived when a broad line of distinction must be drawn by our banking institutions between the fiscal wants of the state and the legitimate wants of trade. The movements' of bUlliOn at thiS 'fiithrient afford a con clusive demonstration of the fact; and we hope it will not be thrown away on the Joint Stock Bank Directors, Trade is sound, stable, and active, de- - spite the intensity of the " screw" pressure. The returns of the imports and exports prove this, and when trade is safe it is sound banking policy to be liberal. SHALL ALBERT have a Statue ? Such is now the cry, originated by the ex-Lord MAYOR of London• Really these civic dignitaries belong to a very ex traordinary--genu s . They are. fin' ever building castles - in the air,'! and proposing all manner of be nevolent schemes for the benefit 'of mankind. Unhappily, hOweve'r, few of .their plate . meet with universal approbation, and their good deeds seldom become known beyond the aldermanic circle— THE NORTHERN DAILY =Es. although, of course, they pre fully registered in the archives of the duildhidl. But, perhaps, Mr. Alderman CHALLts has,signal ized himself during his year in office more than his . predecessors. He has, at all events, dodeone good-thing, by—in the language of a contemporary —" raising literature to the level ; of turtle soup." He now seeks to raise a monument to the PRINCE, as a memorial of the :Great ExhibitiOn of 1851. What consummate folly—lick-spittle adulation = parasitical phrensy f Erecting a monument to a , living man ! The entire scheme is nothing short of grotesque toinfoolery- 7 --abOut as utile as the "Lord Mayor's Show" itself, and every whit as laughable. To degrade Art by making it subser vient to city vanity is bad enough ; but it is worse, still, to render a beautiful idea as commonplace as a civic dinner, or dish of whitebait. The ex-Lord MAvott. could not have chosen a worse time for bringing forward such a plan, albeit that the public iveie . friendly to its adoption, To say the least, it was not. exactly in keeping with a delicate Or re fined taste—which assureely a London MAYOR _ - ought to Tossess—and the censorious would;only be too. glad to seize such an opportunity•for giving full scope to that peculiar bent for which they are so proverbial. The proposal .has been met in-the proper spirit. It has called forth unmitigated ridicule and opposition froni the PreSS- . -- . . to: which we join our . humble, . but . earnest- denunCiation. A project •so futile, injudicious, and ill-timed, perhaps never was "conceived. ,It could not, weare confident, fulfil .the purpose for which it was designed, being neither complimentary to the PRINCE nor honourable to the country. And the only purpose it could serve would be to cause other nations to pity our weakness and smile at our. infatuation. Positively any folly, when originated by a public man, will meet with some supporters. The spirit of flunkeydom has not yet departed from us . ; and we only reget to see' the..same manifested in high clerical quarters. ,But - what will not people do for a good dinner; and how eloquently they will speak after it.. .Take the greatest Tom NOODLE •in Chris tendom, set him down to . the Lord MAYOR'S table, let him go from thence to it *public meeting, and we warrant, if he does not .surpass, he will at all events equal CICERO in the warmth of his eloquence, and the vehemence of his declamation. Of course we could not guarantee his English—he might use as many " as the'l3iShop of OxFoan.himself—but what of that ? It is the province of genius not to be bound by any rule, and certainly it may well despise those of LINDLEY MURRAY. We have -every respect • for the excellent, and noble character of" Prince ALBERT. We admire his genius---acknowledge his virtues—honour his ef forts for the public good—but we should not erect a Statue in his praise, We have his living forth moving and . working among us, which is 'better than a dead impersonification: It. will be time enough when he is - no more, to. erect a monument to perpetuate his name and fame,- and' which may serve whilst 'it' commemorated his virtuous deeds to excite in others a laudable emulation. - The best way to honor. our eminent- PRINCE is to. promote those objects which his Philanthropy originated. Not to erect an unmeaning block of granite, but to build comfortable residences • of brick and mortar, where our artizans and laborers. may live in. comfort and decency. Raise as -moral anent by all means, but let it be in the shape of Model Houses .for .the poor. _This • is a scheme which will be sure to meet with universal appro bation and support.

Colonial office yesterday morning, from.the Governor of Bermuda. • Dispatches were sent off last evening, from the Colonial office to the Governors of the Cape of Good Hope,. and the Mauritius. - The. collection for the Blue Coat School at St. Peter's church on Sunday morning, on the occasion of the new Mayor . attending, amounted to nearly £loo. _ Letters from St. Petersburgh, of the 3rd inst., speak of a fresh levy of recruits, to the extent of seven .in a thousand,. having commenced on the Ist inst. throughout the eastern_ part of the Empire.

" battle of the guages is to come off to day at the meeting of the South Western Railway .Company. A railway between Dorchester and EXeter is about to be made, and the Gieat Western and the South Western are both contending for the making of the the former company on the broad guage, and the latter on the narrow. The directors of the South Western are anxious to make . the line; but Seine of the 'Sha.reholders are 'opposed to their having anything to do with it, and a warm discussion on the subject expected :at to day's meet ing. . Tun Yoo.—Yesterday morning, LiVerpiool was enVeloped in a dense fog, perhaps one of the most dense we have ex perienced-for some years. During the morning, gas was. lighted in the shops and offices in town, and the entire as pect of the streets strongly reminded passer-by of a London particular." The fog was accompanied hy,a very oppressive and almost mephetic vapour. Towards evening, it considerably cleared off, and last night, the atmosphere was comparatively pure. Notwithstanding, however, the denseness of the fog, the boats continued to ply across . the river, and we have not heard that any accident occurred throughout the day. THE* FRENCH • GOVERNMENT 'AND " TILE TELEGRAPH. — The .214),iiteur of the 9th instant publishes some facts which are of interest to the travelling and commercial public. It states that •the government has just opened two new office 3. in Paris for the transmission of telegraphic messages to England and elsewhere; one at the Orleans Railway Sta tion, the other at the station. of the Northern line. There are 'now, therefore, four offices-opened in •all—at the Min istri of the Interior, 103 Rue de Grenelle St. Germain ; at 83, Rue Richelieu, opposite the Exchange, and at the Northern and Orleans Railway Termini. The Moniteur 'cautions the public as follows The public is informed that no telegraphic message can leave Paris unless it has been presented at one of the above named offices, Persons who remit their despatches ihrOUgh . agencies established by private parties, who are always compelled afterwards to present them at the government offices, subject themselves, not only to delays, which are, often considerable, but they also frequently pay much higher than those fixed by law:" CRIMINAL INFORMATION.-11l the Court of Queen's Bench, yesterday, on the application .of Sir Frederick Thessiger, a rule nisi for a criminal information was granted against Mr. Franks Evans Jervis, a schoolmaster, of Repton, near Foremouth Hall, in the county of Derby, for having published a libel reflecting on the character of Mr.. Henry Allsopp, the well knoWn brewer, in which were contained very serious charges against Mr. Allsopp, arid among them one of mur der. The libel was contained in some verses published by Mr. Jervis, in which, amongst other things, it was asserted that strychnine was used by Mr. Allsopp in the making of his ale, and which was, therefore, deleterious. The libel charged him with being a quack—with forcing his ales into public notice.by falsehood, and compared him with being a counterpart of Legree, as described in "Uncle Tom's Cabin," sitting on a beer barrel doing the office of Jack Ketch, without giving Jaek Ketch the trouble of performing the office. HOLY 4 , R (AS X 0 VA VHOL I 9 CW 00L S" A public meeting of' the Catholic inhabitants of the dis tricts of Marybone sand Fontenoy-street, was held last evening, to egebrate , the opening of the Holy Cross'Schools, which have been just completed. The meeting was held in one of the spacious school-rooms, and thOugh the admission was by paid tickets, there could not have been less than from three to four hundred people present. In the absence of the Right Rev. Dr. Brown, .The Rev. Canon WAL:mt.sLty took the chair. The following gentlemen were on the platform : Rev. Robert Cooke, Rev. Jno. Noble, Rev. Francis Lynch, Rev.: Edward Bradshaw, Rev. Michael- Hankinson, Rev. P. Grant, Rev. Mr. CollynS, ' 'Res'. Thomas Spencer, Rev. B. O'Kelly, Rev. J. Aylward, Rev. I. Tobin, Rev. J. Walsh, Rev. Peter Gray; Rev, George Cooper, Rev. Thomas Kelly, Rev. Mr. Dignan, Rev. Mr. Nugent, Messrs. Allan Kaye, Richard Sheil, J. Gibson, T. Gill iw, Win. Gillow, R. H. Sheil, Jno. Yates,. jun., J. C. Corbally, J. Lightbound, R. Rockliff,.j. Daly, J. Waltou, J. N. Lomax, &c., &c. :The CILAIRIiAN said he was afraid they would find in him a very poor substitute* for the illustrious Chairman, the Dienitary of the Church, who had promised to presid e there that night, but who had unavoidably been detained at home. However, though he had . been suddenly called on, he need not look far for a text upon which to say a few words. When he cast his eyes around, and saw the glorious building .both for its-: architecture and magnitude-sin which they were assembled, it would shew in him a great want of. ideas indeed, if he did not find it • in the subject its3lf. He thought the Catholics of Liverpool had now most triumphantly brought to a conclusion that most magnificent monument of their zeal for theh holy religion. (Applause.) They had completed those glorious schools, which were destined, he was sure, to produce the - most important results in thafpart of the town. He should say that it 'also refuted a charge often brought against Catholics, that they were upon prin ciple adverse to education, because they considered that the enlightenment of the mind would suggest to the Catholics objections to their holy religion. They had, however, amply refuted that charge by building that glorious edifice; in order that they might train up the poorest of the town in the prin ciples, first of all, of their holy religion, and secondly, to give. them the groundwOrk of that education which would. fit them for citizens of this world and of the next. (Applause.) Mr. KATE proposed the first resolution which was as fol lows :—" Resolved—That-our warm thanks • are due to the originators of, and subscribers to, this beautiful building in 'which we are now assembled, for their great exertions in behalf of the poor of this district." In proposing this reso lution he said that fifty years ago there was only one Catho lic poor school in Liverpool; it was situated in a small room in Gerard-street, and was capable of recieving about thirty pupils. But some- forty-five years ago the Catholic community of. LiVerpoot seeing.the great want of ineretii.ed school accommodation for the poor children nobly and-zea lously 'stepped forward, and raised inecient funds to erect the school on- Copperas-hill. He believed 'that that school was opened about the year 1807 or 1809, and Was capable of receiving from 400 to' 500 pupils. • Froth that time up to the present, various schools indifferent partS of the town had been opened, and ho miglit say, taking into consideration the school in Bevington-bush, and the schools' now Opened, there could not be less than 10,000 poor CatTio:-• tic children under education. (Applause.) - To all lovers of education this information Should be most gratifyin g . T o him it was a source of very great - Pleasure, as he . wa s isure it was equally - pleasing to all who heard him. (sear, hear ) But he.was sorry to say, that there were . very few earthly pleasures without some alloy ; and lie.-was informed that if twice the present number of schools were erected, in a very short time they would all be filled. (Hear,' hear.) That showed'that the work of education, se far as the Catholie community was concerned, was but half completed; and ho trusted that they would not cease in their exertions when the schools now opened - were beyond danger. (Applause.) In those schools the three grand, rudiments of education would be first taught, and then other branches Of. education would be in time communicated to the pupils ; and to those . pupils, whom. ..he. would take. under his particular care, he would give a-prize of £1 to each, who would excel respectively in reading, writing, and arithmetic. (Applause 4 Mr. Kaye 'then narrated how 'the 'idea ofthe Holy Cross Schools was originated, He was dining about three years ago' with Mr. John B. Aspinall, and that gentleman having observed. that schools were much wan t e d in that district, a meeting of the Catholic community was called, a subscription established, and 'through the exertioni ie A s s e p_ n i t na r l f M c r o .. ti G s4 il m lo m w a „ ti . t o h n e : Work_ was brought - To - liquidate the s thd c f h i o t o si l r s P. , however, from-all debt, £BOO was still wanted, and towards- that . sum," Mr. Kaye in 'conclusion, begged his name to be put dawn for a subscription of £25. (Applause.) The Rev. gr. COILXNS seconded the resolution. He said that coming among then 'with his fellow missionarTfrom the society of St. Francis. Xavier, to express their sympathy in the 'great and geod work which ~had assembled: ; the _meeting, .he --should, -while -congratulating them on the results; or • 'rattier " the -- anticipated results, of their. labours; crave their indulgence.. in -the observations -which he should address to them in support of the -resolution.• • He was not accustomed to address meetings of that magnitude, but if any feeble words of his could stir them up and inoVer.theriLto still greater exertions in the, great cease which they had. undertaken, he,-would assure them that in. that event he was. but too happy to have -the opportunity of addressing them. ....(Applause). -The Rev. Chairman had remarked that the Catholics of Liverpool, in * erecting those schools for the education of the poor, had abundantly'testified' that that- charge- was false unfounded, and utterly untrue, which,accused the Catholic body of being hostile and inimical to the progress of education. (Applause). The Catholics of Liverpool had certainly; by the erection of these schools given the fullest contradiction to that false and ungrounded charge;- bet he (Mr. Collyns) could not but think it waSrinnecessarythat those schools should be erected, in order that that charge be refuted; It had been refuted a thousand and a thousand times over; and the erection of those schools was only one refutation the more in answer to that unfounded charge. How could it- be said in any. way that the Catholic Church was an enemy-to the educat ion o f the human race If they looked:back through the pages 'of history—if they called to mind the names of philosophers, of . statesmen, of poets; of men celebrated i n every wa lk an d in every department of literature; they would 'not - find 'that the .Catholic Church had been wanting . in any -of these respects. (Applause.) Nay; they would find that she had given her quota, and more, to the list of. those celebrated personages .who in various. ages. of the world had adorned the history of the .human race; But perhapa. it 'night be said, that if the Church were not an enemy of education :altogether, at least . she: had forgotten the edadation of -her .poorer children. But wherever a :Catholic chapel stood, there was to . be found a Catholic school for poor children. (Apple:lls6:y .For. the Church knew that if her children had 'not a good and religious 'education,- they woold not in Me= turer years do" honor to the faith they-professed. (Applause.) . The resolution was carried by eiclamation, Mr. ,It, 41E4. proposed the second tesoliition, which was as follows --" Resolved, that the Catholics now assembled • being- deeply - impressed with the:.benefitS which 'a sound, religious, and moral education, Bestows upon all' classes of s3eiety, but especially in the children-of the poor, happily re joked at the completion of this building,Y and pledge them selves to make immediate endeavours to .colleCt the sum still -wanted, in order to obtain the. government grant of £llOO, which placed the school free from all ineraiibrances." This resolation, . Mr.. Sheil observ,ed, had not inappropriately been , given to him, 'because, as a man of business, he should be supposed . to have some little .knowledge as to what should be done in order to Collect this money. Be would Confine his remarkS to purely secular and business matters, and-he would ask them to listen with some, ittle attention to what he Would say on the subject of the resolution. He had to tell them. • that a good' deal of. exertion: had been irido, and a very considerable mini bellectbil, in order to _erect the very fine building in. which they %mere assem bled, but still there remained a considerable sum to be collected, else 'they would . lose ;the very • large sum - to which they were entitled from aevernment—that was, to which they were entitled' frOin their own resources, because the resources of the Governirient were received from them — applause and therefore they would 'be very wrong, indeed, IC they did not endeavour to get that, Or at leaSt a portion of, it, to which they were , so justly entitled. When they con 'skler that they were by law, or the minute of the Council of Education, entitled to the sum of £llOO - on' the' collection ,of a certain other sum, it would be very .imprudent "and unwise in them indeed . not to make every exertion to . enable . . them to comply, with that requisition. Hear; bear. They . Were told 'that' over £7OO was still wanting to complete this other sum, and therefore. if they-failed to col lest ! that, their lateness—for upon, its collection depended the government grant, which would be £l,BOO. (Hear, hear.) He need not, then, appeal to their generosity, but ask them through their common sense, to c o ll ec t the' . required sum, (applause)' and he was sure they c o uld d o it i n a ' very s h or t' period if they wished. He appealed to • those whom fortune had blessed,and he was sure they werild_centribute. largely ; but he appealed to,tbe poor themselves, for whose more special, benefit the sehobwere_erected; and. should tell them that a very heavy responsibility rested on them, if they did not endeavour to secure. for their children the educa tion fhat was sought to .be-provided for them: He 'would ask those parents who were in the habit of indulging in drink, which was worse than unnecessary to them, to pass by- the public house, and contribute 'what. they .spent in the gratification of their own passions to the .education of their children. .If they. did that, they would derive from it the greatest benefit themselves..' - Th e y would improve.their own morals their character and health, they Would secure foilhern selves the highest reward, in the nett world ;aod while thus serving themsolves,Would confer on th e i r children the greatest blessing in a parent's gift—a sound moral, religious educa tion. (Applause.) . Mr. Thomas BIACKEURNE Seconded the resolution, which was unanimously adopted. • ' : . Mr. John jun.; proposed' the thi r d reso l ut i on, which was to the effect—" That in order to make provision for theluture. support of these valuable schools, an annual subscription list. be forMedy to consist of subscriptions of • ss. and upwnrds ;., and that the system of -weekly . 'collections be continued." He said that before he proceeded to the subject of the resolution, he could not refrain from following, to some little extent, in the line adopted by Mr. Kaye and the Rev. Mr. Collyns. Having met on that very great and important occasion to celebrate the opening of a school attiongst the poorest of the poor, and . arranged and intended for .the lowest of the low, amongst.whom ignorance, though it was to give way to knowledge, and vice to virtue, he did think that it was ap..oecasion on which they might depart from the matter before them, and exult at the cause which had assembled them. (Applause.) To those-who had taken an active part in that great work—and he might without egotism praise them, as he- was-not.of their number —to them all praise was due, and they might be greatly elated at the success of their labours. He: was anxious, then, that the meeting should be gratified to the fullest; he was anxious that all who, contributed in the most remote degree to the building, should feel himself exalted beyond those who took no part in it. . (Applause.) He believed there was no one in the room who had not taken a part in the work, and, therefore, all might rejoice' in the erection of 'a building which would stand forth a monument of Catholic charity —of . C a th o li c piety-and of Catholic consideration. In erecting it they had-given -way to the best inpulses of their nature; and carried into practice the precepts of the reverend' gentleman who presided over them ; and he was sure that the spirit which prompted them to the undertaking would 'enable them to carry it out to a thorough completion. (Applause). He did not mean to reflect on other'parties'; but he had a right - to Contrast their efforts in the promotion of education amongst the poor with those of other creeds. And in that respect they (the Ca tholics) most favourably contrasted with all. other religious &nominations. (Applause). In confirmation of this, Mr: Yates referred to certain statistics recently . Published by a Protestant gentleman, and in conclusion rejoiced that Ca tholic schools weie-now being opened in the districts in which they were most wanted. (Applause). Mr. JAMES Op3SON, . seconding the reso lucpu; said . that the best - testimonial they could • present to Mr. Gillow for his AinWearied exertions in behalf ,of thoSe schools, would boa, generous support of them. Mr. Gibson then put down his name for a( contribution ution- of £25, and also as An annual subscriber. (A The resolution was unanimously adopted. ;• Mr. DALY propbsed,', and Mr..

The- advanced 'prices asked for a ship rendered it necessary that all attempts to procure a floating chapel should, be abandoned.
