The Emperor, on his return to the- capital, .has lost no time _before,proceeding-to business. He presided at a Council of Ministers, held at the Tuileries, at eleven this morning. It is announced that a Pope's bull, authorising modifications in.the Liturgy, has just been received in Paris, and will be promulgated immediately. I presume"that this bull relates to a subject about which, strange to say, there has been much dif ficulty and long negotiation, namely, the simple substitution of the word " Emperor" for the wOrd " King" is the French prayer books. M. Jules Gonelen, a 'wea known writer, who some time since left 'the Univers on, the occasion of a grand split among the . conductors of that journal, is about to start a newyreligious newspaper, to be called the Universel. - SWEDEN.

CHARGE AGAINST A MASTER-CARTER, IN LIVERPOOL,- FOR AN ATTEMPT 'TO' POISON • HIS WIFE. Yesterday, at the polipe-court, John Giy,, n master. carter, living in Cneapside, was brought up by officers Carlyle of detective police, and inspector Duggan, on a charge of having attempted to poison his wife. Mr. Goodere was for the prisoner, who it a man over 55 years of age, a heavy, ill-dad, and very dirty person in his appearance. Tne wife is under 4, and was hand somely dressed. Mr. Cloaah in stating the case, said the prisoner is a master carter, living in Che ipside, and' the owner of ten carts and a large number of horses. He had been married to his present wife four years. They . have not lived con tentelly together for some time past. She was not in very good health, and on Tqesday last she went to the, shop of Dr.)Games, and saw an assistant of his, and he gave her a bottle of medicine, with directions to take two tea spoonsful twice a day. She continued to take it up to Sunday last, when, in her absence, the' prisoner went into the bedroom. The daughter of the complainant, by a former' husband, happened to go into the bedroom at the lune, and saw,the prisoner there, and obser,.ed him take some white powder, like flour, out of a paper from under his arm, and put it into the medicine bottle. Nothing more'was thought about it at the time. The medicine wh'eh the complainant had got she imagined had done her good, but she did not take any of it on Sunday night. On Monday morning she took the usual quantity, and soon afterwards felt very ill, and got worse, when ber stomach turned. Here the prisoner exclaimed, you had .better put a rope round my neck and hang me at once. Mr. Clough went on to say that the woman continued ill, rand. went to bed. She had occasion to send for. Inspector Doggaa that day, in reference to an affair about some lead that had been stolen. Prisoner : I did not know that she took any medicine, except three pennyworth of eol Mr. Clough went on to say that Duggan, on leaving the room, asked her what she had b(ea taking, and she tAd him, and pointed to the bot le, and then said it had done gocd up to that mowing; bat, then, it had made her very ill, and turned her stomach. On leaving the room, he met the daughter of the woman (y a forme, husband), a girl about IS years of age, and she told him that she had seen her fatter put some white powder into the moi:cine. This caused the suspicions of the inspector to be aroused, and he tookpossession of the bottle and also some of what had,b en Ejected, from the worthin's stomach. He to .k .the battle Dr Games, to have. it examined ; and D:. Games, after looking to it, called in. Dr. prown, and he analise,l it, and he. will tell 3buoivhat he found ;in it. He then called. c _ Inspector Duggan, who sated : She sent for me about some lead that was stolen.: He then corr )borated the eta em nt of Mr. Clough, and. said when he heard of the facts, he su=p cited that a' l-was not right, as tbe parties did not live on good terms. He took the bottle to Dr. Gimes, and did not lose sight of it until Dr. Brown got it. ,also had what w s ejected from the stomach. In reply to Mr. Goodere, the witness said if she was poisoned,. she inspect one of her own workmen before kter husband. Mary Gay, seta then examined : She said, I live at 49, Oh' ; ,l:Pside f and am the wife of the pisoner. ..We are. married. four years. I 'was ill last week, and Went to Dr. Games. I saw a pers in in the ship, ant he gave me a battle of medicine, and I was to -take two table spoonsful morning and evening, until it was out, and . I did se..

It had not the same tas e before. I felt it ticklishly hot—not the same as if I drat k anything hot,. or with .cayane pepper or, spice, it was a different: sensation. Took neaily'a quartof c ffee to take off the taste. Felt very sick after that, and threw off my stomach. kty daug*/ ter, saw me vomiting afar r. Teat day I sant for InspeCtor Duggan about-a ditl>rent matter. My stomach turned four times. Inspector Duggan took awl some of the contents. He also took the medicine bottle away a'so, but I objected to it, as I said there was nOtbirg wrong in it, at I did not want Mr. Games' name brought -up in it. Soon after Duggan took the bottle awry with him, Dr. Games and Dr. •Brown came- and gave me .some medicine that they told no would torn my stomach, and It did so. I know Mrs.- Ladson, bf•Bi;hmond-row, to-my sorrow; only for her I should ever have had an angry word with my husband. The day after we were mar led she quarrelled with me about •my husband.

With all due reverence, for religion; I can find no other term for the exhibitions which one witnesses in 'this country ; and one of the most remarkalile , and most recent is that in which the holy thorn of the crown of "our Saviour, preserved: in Policastro, was observed to incline to the left ; and for greater consolation to display its 'blood red colour ; and to be covered from the base to the summit with foaming blond. Unanimous, says the Archbishop, was the .wonder. ' A sacred horror takes possession of "s m:te; others fall astonished before the spectacle of this prodigy.

It happened under the folloWitig .eircum; stances :—" Heavy rains had fallen., threatening most injurious consequences, sod a second miracle follows the first. The whole po pulation of Policastro denianded that the relic should 'be carried through the city.

THE MONETARY CRISIS AT HAMBURG HANTBURG,-TuEinAr.

IcORTIIIRN TIMES. beg to thank you for the promptness with which you gave insertion to my last letter on this subject, and also for the willingness you have at all times manifested in opening fearlessly your columns for the advocacy of right against might—the weak agaiest the strong. I per ceive in last Saturrley's Chronic-le that lam to receive a severe castigation in the next issue of that journal, fir at tempting, lamely and failed aisly, to prop up a bad and falling cause. MY last appeared in your paper of 17. h inst., and cats it for a Moment be imagined the learned pundits of the C'hronicle require ten clear days to demolish the fallacies and exhibit to the laughing gszeof this community the lameness and shortcomings of a plain faint min. My arguments, or rather the plain statement of facts-, pontainei in my la?. was very probably not so logically arranged and so forcibly put as a learned man weal have put it I hope, however, I have made myself understood, and I now challenge the - Chronic?e to controvert one solitary statement contained therein, and until he dOes this his wi ty quotations from Sidney Smith—rambling extracts from provincial journals—and vague and sweeping con demnations, will be set down at precisely what they are worth. I perceive our worthy scribe begins to think his cause rather shaky, for in his twelve articles he,. strongly eschews all compromise, and in his thirteenth he has no ol:aection to a compromise. Now, if he_ has given a true statement of facts—if the emigration laws have been carried out in this port of Liverpool, as he eta es, not for the benefit and protection'of the emigrants, but rather for the encouragement of fraud and rapine; if our Government officers have connived at this state of things, as he insinuates,_ hev is it that, in the short space of one week, he expressei a willingness to come to. terms wi h them he has so foully calumniated, for, as a body, I do say he has foully calumniated the license brokers and runners of this town I have admitted before, and I fully and freely admit again, that " there are ' men am - ng them who are unworthy to -be entrusted with a license and whose houses are not adapted for lo aging emig .ants ; an. i I do say, let the tares be separa'ed from the wheat, let the bad men be eradicated, root and branch, and who are so fit as (air Gevernment officers to make a proper selection ? Certainly not the humanity-Monger of the Cheoniele I wish, Mc E litor Tit coital inform us who or what hels—if he he a large sh pow: er, or if he be one - whoa has 1 rtg experience in the emigration trade; or is he an -unfortunate emigren- e who has been fl•eced, as he so pitee ously discribes, at some time or other in this port? If,he be one of those, his opinions and advice might be worth something as it is, however, I fancy they will be received as so mu h fustian. 'lf, Mr. Editor, those nOMPleints that have dinned our care for the last three months had come from the injured ernigrrnts, a might absy have deserved attention, and surely had all those fretuls and fleecings taken place, our government cfficers would have beets cognizant of the.. . facts; fer they are the l'ast men through whose hands the es/signet' 'pesses, previous to a ship weighing anchor .Perhspe - the writer in-the Chronicle is not awe e of these - , facts.

Any Unbiassed • mini, any man unpre judiced and unbought, will at once admit it. It does Seem, sir, there is - something above and beyond the pro tection of the emig-ant peemptieg and actuating the dis interested writer of the Chronidle, and those in lenges with him 'The 71 percent commission is ,the target at which his shafts ere levelled if this were once diverted , into another source—if a few large brokers had not only the shipping, but the 16dgiug and outfitting of all ;he ea - Jigsaws passing thi,oizgli this port—then a would g well.

Why do no our philenthrophists go to esaliament to get bettor accemmo dation for those poor de -k passengers coming from Ireland There is nothing connected with the emigration trade of this pert so necessary as that and the ereatioa of a shed at the great stage for the protection from the inclemency of the weather, of the emigrant end his losggige going on board ships in the river, We have a decision of Isslr, Holmes, given at leog h in lest Saturday's Caron:do, in .a case brought before him by Lieutenant Prior,' in which his Worship is made to say he considers the system of paying commiesion, a system of plunder; and he uses the word plunder advisedly, not knowing any other word to convey his meaning. Although holding in great respect, as I do, the judgment and eloquence of our worthy alder man, I must be to differ with hint in this instance, as I cannot see the appropriateness of the wo d " plunder" here, for " plunder_" in its primary sense, according to one of our latest lexic grephers a meana " that which is taken from an enemy by for 'o: pillage, p-ey, spoil." It did not appear in evidence that those etni grente lost anything in any way much less by " ferce fraud, or spoil " Had they paid one penny beyond the regularly have rate.of fares,- then, perhaps, the term ,would been in some way ape' ieable, but, on the con -Crary, they paid not rue fa thing more than those - in the same ship, who engaged t eir hew s, and rent their depOsits by letter - from the country, to Wilson and Chamb?rs, without the intervention or interference of runic -or man catcher Where, then, is the plunder— where the pillage or the sooil ? LOG any impartial man go on board any passenger ship sailing from Liverpool. and inquire of any paesengee on board, where he took his passage—whether from an agent in the ceuntrv, or by let* to the head agent hero, or through the intervention of one of our licensed runners —and if he do not find the emigrants who employed the runner the better satisfied as to the comfort of _their berths and economy of expenses, I shalt at once bec-ime a c-avert to the oplaions of our reformers of the Chronicle It-is a well knoiva and admitted fact by the paesege brokers, that, but for the competition existing betwixt the licen.eri runners, fares wotild 'r ate higher then they do, because when a lot of emigrants come - together on the same beat, perhatis bound fit America or the Antipodes, some go to the runner-to whom they are recommended, o hera go with other runners ; hence arises a struggle amongst them for who can get 'his party off on the cheapest terms and bast ship, -and by these means get his character establishA in t!te p laq of - the country front whence he comes. I therefore iffi-m that this com petition among the passage brokers and licensed runne s have been the chief calve of elevating this port of Liver pool to i s present position as a port of embarkation for emigrants. Do away with this competition, and leave , he emigrat'on c , f this port in the hands of a few broke*s, and what will be the result? Instead of advancing any 'paculative opinions of my own, I shall give you a few fact', and let my readers draw their own, conclusion. We have only one line of pickets trading between this port and BostoneaThis line is composed of ships not in any way superior to the various lines trading to New York, nor do the scale of provision's, comfort, or accommodation differ by any mean§ The distance is much about the same ; yet, how is it that the fares to the former pert rate at all times £1 higher than to the latter? Because there is no competition. To Philadelphia, also, we have but one line. (Cope'e. The ship; of which, I assert are no better than any of our New York line's yet the fares by this line rate at all times 103 per adult higher thin any of our New t Y o or t lc hA lin r e n s, nn a e nd the ant rlnore than nfi s of "this vepor line nent. have never oomniission. vir p h i y d is this? becau - >e there is no competition - Again, why is it that James Baines and Co., and Wilson and Chambers charge £l4 for a steerage passage to Mel bourne, and only pay to the runner 5 per cent., when Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co., Mr.Thomoson, an-I Magee and s k.iivieg.ton, who have always paid 7L charge no more than £l4? Is it that the ships of the forther gentlemen and their ,treateeent cf passengers ate better? Oh, no, nothing of she sort ; the ships of the last-named "thecae firms, and - their honest and just treatment of emig,ran s, , will bear honourable comparison with - the ships and treet ineet of any other in this port or out of it ; but it is that the eha , lotvof,.monopolyhangs rotted the ships of Baines consequencet°P4siainlstoAfora now s short yied time Ex. and d e W n o il u s Royal Mail Perhaps the ships of those gentlemen are like Moores vake- You may break. you may shatter, the vase as you will, Ye', the scent of the, roses will hang round it still. usa li aof and th e hhearveifnogre I think. however, that from the present aspect of affairs, and the spirit of Freo-trade and open oompetition infusing itself inro every branch of commerce, that the prefix of " Ex-Royal NM" to th)se ships, will not long eaable them to pocket 7s for steerage passengers more than the three highly respectable firms I hard named Tie Chronicle. seems quite indignant with Mr. Lockett, a highly respectable merchant and shi e-owner, whose vessels have taken many emigrants from this port, and all other members of the Dock Committee who dare to assert the. the licensing system is a proper one to be carried out, Its language is We think it -premature on the part of any member of the Dock Committee, or any one else, to affirm that the tcensing sysiem was a proper cue to be carried out. for we have established the' con verse."

I-1;s ohj et was then to show how the s irit of literature was influenced -by the narrow posi tiieism of Page - cirri, and the wile blank negation of 101 l lelity, and - that she three diff-etiht modes of contem elatie'g the Universe • implied' iit Paganism, modern infidelity and Chris lenity were eeleeaated deeply to affect the whole eh rae4r of literature. - Paganism, even in its hen- sense, as held by the people, and sung by the poets of Greece and Rime, wash Wind ado - a ion of nature apart faoni any moral purpose or spirituel Meaning,. and of God as a'natteal power, beautified perhepS with liget and I . re, but not j ,s , ice, mercy. truth,-'holeness, aril love. Having givetea. general defi iti4r ot the character of Paganism, and of , that which he remarked was fir mere difficult to be defined—modern infidelity)--he reminded the audience that, whatever (141,ra - ice -'might exist among Christian b ,dies, there were - seine greet in ciples upon which they all agreed, ante .g which were the insufficiency of :natural light and the necessity of Div'..ne revelation, the reality of the siariosal world and the emietence of a feature state. In consithling 1114 ; spirit with which Pateetnism contemplated nature, the lecturer differed with Mr. Ruskin e lain. that eloqu ut writer declared that land scape seemed to have exercised no strong indaence upon any Pagan nation -or Pagan artist. He cited a number of passages tram Homer and from Horace to prove that these p :eta felt an I were moved by the beauty and the power of n ctore,, and spoke of her in langeav and with epithets whiih showed that they apareciated her on tward e'larecter. At the same time, he IV.) , agreed with Mr. Ruskin, that the Hebrew ,poets felt much more 'deeply the impress of nature ; but this he though' was less for the reasons stated by Mr. Riskin thin because the Hebrew poets saw the symbolism of . nature, .and its cornneetion wi:li, and depeedenea up-ern God. There were three great views in which to look at nature, the in aerie!, the ideal, and the mediatorial. While Paganism held the one view and modern intl le7ity the other, the last and iefinitely greatest view, which looked on all nature as symbolic, was known in its fulness by Christianity alone. Tip, instsilieeney of mute, eternal nature:to satisfy the soul or the• meaeing of Gee, he ilinstrati.d by a paseigi from -holly, whom he described as the mast spiritual and sincere of the modern_ poetic unbelievers, t‘ We want," cried C trlyle 7 ately, when some one illustrated to him upon the beauty of nature, "some hug ILt . er than gra , s." Such passages from Shelley and trona (Attire, proved that we want something better thaa granite or.hea h or everlasting snaw, and that toe catt 'gees humble hymn had more• power than mountains or stars. He referred to the modern po tic unbelievers'. idea of Gad. Thal poetic worship of the molern schools was faint and cold when it was not over strained and fantastic. God was to such minds a shadowy being call dby o-e the " Over Soul," by another the " Spa, it of Beauty," and 4y a third the " Personifieatit n or Justice." _ SoJi was the idea of Emerson, of Sh lief, ef Ca•iyle ; and with these-ideas he e:ntrasted the exalted and s Acing idea of God as contemplated by the Chrisian. Another deeply lin* tint conside a ion was the manner in wh ch P. gaeistn, infidelity, and Christianity affected the Pets of man's character and destiny The Pagan viewed idle men as a somewhat sublimated animal. Tte infidel viewed man now as a grandebil 1 of the ourar outang, and now as ap rt of God. But the Christian viewed a man as a fellow-being, standing in darkness i.olced, but a darkness whase edges were coloured by two lights—one radiating back from the innocent morning of the world, aid the o . her darting forward from the "good time coming." the glotioes evening o` which Ras before mankind.
