Altogether, the Pope, from this specimen of the nin:Te
modesty and bashfulness of Euglishmen, must imbibe a
strange notion of John Bull. The Roman paper calls the
affair "Britannic° aeraniero"—Britialt and strange—ear-
chilly the latter.
A project of Messrs. Grey and Chauman (Chapman ?) to
furnish rails of some vitrified substance, to be used in lieu
of iron, has been favourably received by the cabinet, and is
under consideration. The lines have been all finally deter-
mined on, and are to be put up for competition forthwith,
the" Jackson Company's" rights to the more northern branch
being recognised.

FRANCE.—PARIS.—L'EPoQuE.—The statement (
that the failure of the Paris journal, called L'Epoque, was, 4

been proposed by Sardinia. It will be remembered that
some years ago the same project was proposed, and warmly
advocated, by Austria ; but the plan foundered on the jea-
lousy of the Italian governments, and on the bad reception
it met with from public opinion, which only beheld in it an
aggrandisement of Austrian influence, and the Court of Sar-
dinia in particular showed great opposition to the measure.
The ?resent project is, it is said, to exclude Austria—whe-
ther it will meet with better success than the former is still
to be seen.
ROME, OCT. 23.—The Roman Adeertiser, an Eng-
lish journal, was to appear at Itcme on the 24th October.
It is to contain articles on literature and the arts and
sciences, and will also treat of 'the public affairs of Rome, its
fetes, religious and other ceremonies.
SWITZERLAND.—BssLE, Nov. 3.—Yesterday
the commission of the Grand Council, consisting of fifteen
members, held two sittings. They are said to have adopted
a total revision of the constitution by a constituent council,
and that minors will have the right to vote from the age of
twenty years upwards. The corporations may elect 32
members of the council of the constitution, and the electoral
colleges 35, the faubourgs 40, and the rural districts 12,
making 119 councillors.
GERMANY.—BERLIN.—The late bankruptcy of
Messrs. Hermann and Co., at London, has been felt more or

BRUNSWICK, OCT. 31.—The Hamburg Gazette of
the 3rd inst. states " Yesterday a banquet was given in
honour of Jean Ronge ; 180 sat down to dinner. Among other
toasts Dr. Beste, of the Orthodox Protestant Confession,
proposed that of Pius IX. In the evening M. Ronge was
present at the so-called Citizens' Assembly, where there were
800 or 900 present. The ladies occupied the galleries.
H. Ronge was received with loud applause. In a short ad-
dress he expressed how happy. he felt at being in the midst
of the inhabitants of Brunswick. where the prince and the
governor were advocates of humanity and liberty of con-
science. Ile then alluded to the measures taken by the
police of Berlin against him, and give an interesting sketch
of the development of German Catholicism in Silesia.
THE ZOLLVEREIN DUTIES.—We have now received
(some authentic intelligence of the decision of the council of
the Zollverein, on the proposed increase of the duties on
cotton and linen yarns imported into the union. A letter
from Hamburgh, dated the 3rd instant, has been received by
a mercantile house in this town, announcing that the new
tariff has been published ; from which it appears that the
duty on cotton yarn has been raised from two Prussian
thalers per centner to three thalers, that is, from six shillings
to nine shillings per cwt. ; whilst linen yarn, which previ-
ously paid only five silbergroschen per centner (sixpence per
cwt.), has been raised to two thalers (six shillings per cwt.)

UNITED STATES & MEXICO.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY Monmso.
Last night we had intelligence of a later date from
America, by the packet-ship Cambridge, from New
York, of the 17th, and later by the ship Joshua Bates,
from Boston, the last-named vessel having made the
run to Liverpool in sixteen days.
We learn that the steamer Caledonia reached
Boston on the 20th ult., and that the news of the 4th
had the expected effect of a rise in the corn and flour
markets. Barrelled flour rose in Boston between
50 and 75 cents. per barrel in consequence of tho
high rates ruling on this side. At the time of the
Joshua Bates sailing from Boston the effect of the
steamer's news on the New York and other mar-
kets was to raise them; but of course a
similar rise would have taken place in all
these. Our Boston advices mention that flour,
which was at 5! dollars before the steamer's news
transpired, afterwards rose to 6t dollars, and that
holders were cautious iu effecting large sales at even
this advance. Indian corn advanced about 6 cents per
bushel, and at this rise sales were refused.
By these arrivals we learn that the American go-
vernment have determined ona vigorous prosecution of
the Mexican war. The government raper declares
that it is to be persevered in with all possible deter-
mination, and that Major Graham has left Ni'ashington
charged with despatches for General Taylor, and that
he is ordered to terminate the " temporary cessation
lof hostilities," and to go ahead in real fighting style.
Regarding the instructions to General Taylor. The future
policy of the War Department h as follows :--The plan of
the invasion is to be changed. The march from Monterey
to the city of Mexico, is at least six hundred miles longer 1

FEArnERSTONHAVGII FAMILY.—We subjoin
to the obituary notice of the late Sir Henry Featherston-
laugh, inserted in the Ezpress of October 28, some
fotices of the very ancient family, to m
which he belonged,
which we have since obtained. In the early Saxon ties all
tat part of Northumberland watered by the s ces oourf the
flue, witli the district afterwards called Alston-moor, was
even to a military chieftain for repelling the incursions of
he Britons. at the stor y

tom "two feßather-stone family mansion
was built. `a onlv fit for the nursery. It wouluzzle miner-
dogyto esplin'the nature of such stones, asstwould arelti-
gcture to build upon them. The name of the warrior who
Blinded the family in Britain was " Frithestan," and is so
written in the Saxon chronicles and other records. The ad-
Ktion of haugh " to the name came in this manner. In
the old Saxon dialect, " halgh " (pronounced " 'laugh),
meant a valley, or alluvial Lowland ; and a branch of the
fatuity has ing built Featherstonhaugh ca
mstle, iost n a se
e enques-
tered valley of the Tyne, (in our day
ing one of the list-
,tructures in Northumle rland,) that branch, efter the
Korman c alquest, was called Featherstone de belch, and
took for their arms, gules, a chevron betwixt three ostrich
feathers argent. In the reign of King John, Hellas de
reatherstenhale endowed the monastery of Hexham. In the
viers of Edward 111. with Scotland, Thomas de Featherston-
baulgh had a mandate from the king to array all the men at
arms. Richard Featherstonhisugh, D.D , was chaplain to
o
QueenCatliarine of Arragon, and conducted her pleadings i
the affair of the divorce with so touch zeal, that the king
bad him beheaded in 1540. In 1651, Sir Timothy Feather-
genii:mile:who was in arms for the king, was taken prisoner
at Wigan. and beheaded at Chester, by Milton oe of Crom-
well's Colonels, notwithstanding quarter had bneen granted
him. His eldest eon, Henry. was slain at the battle of Wor-
cester, fightiug also on the King's side. This devoted loyalty
to the Crown met with no return from Charles 11., after his
Decoration ; even the family estates were not restored. Sir
Henry Fratherstonhaugh, a grandson of Sir Albany, died in
1746, aged 100, without issue, discarding his nephew in the
iireet lute, William Henry, and appointing Matthew Feather-
denhaugh, Esq., a more distant relation, his heir testamen-
hry. This gentleman was created a baronet, 1747, and died
1 1774, leasing one son, the late baronet, and who, having
left no issue, the title becomes extinct. William Henry
Buried a Miss She ;to, and impoverished himself on the turf:
his son William,:afterfruitleas attempts to repair his fortunee,
died in Yorkshire at an advanced age. His son George died
young at Norwich in 1780, leaving an only son, George, now
her lda;estv's consul at Thieve, in France. There are
branches of this mcient family in Cumberland and Ireland ;
the Featheritonheugh's of Kirkoswald have always taken
distinguished rank with the gentry of that county, and the
Irish family having for its head Sir GeorgeFeatheretonbaugh,
Bart. But all these, with other offsets not named, are de-
scended from the original Saxon founder of the family.

SHOCKING OCCIIRRENCE ONI LONDON-BRIDOE.
Yesterday, an elderly gentleman named Lee, residing in ,
Hurray-street, Shepherdess-walk, City-road, whilst seated I
on the top of one of the Camberwell and Gracechnrchstreet
omnibuses, proceeding across London-bridge towards the
former locality, was. pitched heavily forward in consequence
et the wheel of the vehicle coming in contact with that of
milker. Before assistance could be rendered the fore
abed of the omnibus had passed over his legs, and he was
et.;ip in a dreadful and deplorable condition, being
covered with wounds. From the very severe nature
d the injuries sustained, and the advanced age o
Somata gentleman (eighty years), he is not expected to
recover.
Arreurren SVlClDE.—Satnrclay considerable ex-
• enemas was caused in the City by the intelligence that a
gentleman of long and high standing on the press, and who
kr/ lately filled the situation of official aisiries in the
Bankruptcy Court, had attempted to destroy himself. The
eisemistance occurred on Friday morning about eight
o'clock. The servant having called her master at the usual
hour, he rose from his bed, but not having come down
Maus, the maid, as was her custom in such eases, knocked
again in about half an hour, to learn if anything was
wanted. He replied that he did not want her at present.
In about ten or fifteen minutes afterwards, the servant again
knocked at her master's bedroom-door, when she was told,
in a weak and inarticulate voice, to come in. On entering
ahe was horror-struck to find her master hanging over the
ode of the bed, and holding his hand to hie throat, in which
there was a deep gash, and from which the blood was pour.
lag a copious stream. She alarmed the house, and surgi-
cal assistance was immediately sent for. On the surgeon
entering the room, be found not only the throat deeply cut
with a razor, but s.large incision also made on the left wrist
of the unfortunate gentleman. Every possible assistance
was rendered, and all yesterday hopes were entertained
of his recovery. He was able to speak a little, and also to
drink some water. It appears that he made the attempt ow
Ins life in the middle of the room, and afterwards wont
and lay down on his bed. There are various rumours as to
the motives which led to the rash act. It is said that the
unfortunate gentleman had lost largely by recent specula-
tions in oorn. The statement is altogether unfounded. It is
well known that he is a man of considerable property, and
bad not embarked in speculations of any kind. One thing
which may aid in throwing light on the causes which led
Lim to attempt his life, is the circumstance of its having

sstES.— REAT t EBTRUCTION OP aCOACH FAC-
TORY.—At 26 minutes past 6 o'clock yesterday morning,
Policeman 61 F, whilst passing the Crown and Cushion, lft
Parker-street, Little ' Queen-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields,
discovered that smoke was issuing from the premises of
Messrs. Witham and Co., coachmakers. He immediately
aroused the inmates. As soon as the house could be opened
he entered, and,:upon going into the yard, he discovered
smoke issuing from that portion of Messrs. Witham's pre-
mises over the stable. Intelligence was immediately dis-
patched for the engines. It soon became apparent that the
fire must have been burning for some time before the dis-
covery was made, for it had obtained such • strong hold
that in less than five minutes subsequently the flames Woke
through the roof, and rose several yards above the steeple of
the church. The engine of the Brigade from High Hol-
born, and one from the parish, immediately reached the
scene. On opening the gates of the factory in Parker.
street, the greaser portion of the three upper floors was
found to be completely encircled is flames, and the
fire was to he seen running along, the timber fronts,
almost with the swiftness of lightning, and for some
time it was feared that every building in the vicinity
would have been destroyed. The County and West of Eng-
land engines, with about 7 or 8 belonging to the London
establishment, arrived one after the other in rapid succession.
The moment water was obtained, the whole of the engines
were set to work, those of the brigade under ?dr. Braidwood's
superintendence, and those of the West of England and
County Companies under the direction of Mr. Connarion and
Mr. Garwood. The firemen. perceiving the great danger to
which the adjoining property was exposed, had a number of
the branches belonging to their engines directed in such
quarters, so cc to arrest the farther progress of the flames.
'fhis was a work of no little difficulty; for, in accomplishing
their object, they were forced to withstand the great heat of
the flames, and several times the burning rafters and molten
lead from the gutters fell upon them. Although every man
laboured to the utmost, the tire wee not completely extin-
guished until nearly 9 o'clock, and not until property valued
at a few thousand pounds was burned. Mr. Baddelly, the
inspector of the Royal Society for the Protection of Life
from Fire, was at the spot, with three of the society's escapes,
to render assistance to the neighbours, in case of an accident,
but fortunately the machines were not required to be used.
As to the origin of the fire, not the least tidings could be
learned ; when the factory was closed the venous night,
everything appeared perfectly safe. The following is a copy
of Mr. Bruidwood's official report of the damage done:—
Little Queen-tweet, and 30, Parker-street, Messrs. Witham's and
Co., the whole of the three upper floors and stock therein horned ;

No. 10. Mr. J. Dealby, considerable damage to roof, and contents on
the south-side of the yard ; insured in the liand-in-liand office.
--AT THE Vicruels HOTEL.—On Saturday night, about
10 o'clock, considerable alarm was created in the immediate
vicinity of Mutton-square, in consequence of a report being
circulated that the immense range of premises, termed the
Victoria Hotel, the property of Mr. Edward Home, had
taken fire. The report was strengthened by a mass of flame
issuing through one of the windows on the basement floor.
Information of the circumstance was, without delay, for-
warded to the engine stations, and very speedily the engine
of the London and Birmingham Railway Company arrived,
closely followed by several other. of the London brigade,
' and a County one. A large number of the railway porters
and co.•stables instantly ascended the staircase, when they
Ifound a number of sheets, and other articles in the drying-
, room, in a general blaze, and had it not been for the assist-
' ance afforded it is probable that a most fearful conflagration
would have been the result. The flames wore soon extin-
guished. Considerable damage was done to the contents of
the room ; many of the sheets, together with the racks,
being destroyed, and the others severely injured. The out-
Ibreak was caused from some of the linen having come in
contact with the pipe of the drying stove. Mr. Home was
insured in the Law Fire office.
INQUESTS.—FIRE AND Loss or LIFE.—By Mr.
Baker, at the Cumberland's Head, City-road, on the body
of Mr. Henry, Rigden, aged 28, who lost his life at the fire
that occurred on Friday morning last, at 18, Powell-street
East, Goswell•road. It appeared from the evidence of Mr.
Shank, the landlord of the house, that the deceased returned
home to his lodgings on Friday morning at an early hour, at
which time he seemed slightly inebriated, and was smoking
a cigar. Having been furnished with a small piece of candle
he retired to bed, and in the course of • few minutes after-
wards Mr. Shank went down from his own to deceased's
bedroom, in order to satisfy himself that deceased had pro-
perly extinguished hie candle. Finding that he had taken
his boots off, and had placed them outside his room dour,
Mr. Shank concluded that deceased was quite capable of
taking care of himself, and he returned to his own bed.
About six o'clock, on Mr. Shank getting up, and passing
the bedroom of the deceased, he could hear the
deceased coughing, but did not imagine that anything
had happened to him. At half-past eight o'clock,
whilst another lodger was passing deceased's bedroom, he
discovered the fire, and when the door was opened the flames
rushed up the staircase, and it was with the greatest difll-
- that Mrs. Shank could save one of her children, who
was sleeping in the top room. As soon as the fire was ex-
tinguished, the deceased was found lying on the remains of
a feather-bed, most awfully burnt. The feet were totally de-
stroyed, and the face and other portions of the body were
fearfully disfigured. The evidence satisfactorily proved that
the fire originated in the sleeping apartment belonging to
deceased, and the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental
death."---•-•KILLED BY a lIHOKEN DISH.— By the same
coroner, at the Cumberland's Head, Bath-street, y-road,
as the body of Mary Anne Edwards. aged 45, a fine Cithealthy
sad able-bodied female, who was on Thursday last employed
se charwoman at the house of Mr. Terry, Chiswell-street,
and about half-past four o'clock was proceeding into the kit-
chen with a large empty dish in her hand, when, insupping
up a single step, she stumes, one ofblwhich,ed and
of a fell, the dish being broken
into several piecn angular form, peas-
tested the right side of her neck, dividing the jugular vein and
the carotid artery, and causing instant death. The wound was
very severe, and the loss of blood excessive. The foregoing
facts having been deposed to, the jury returned a verdict of
"Accidental death."
LAMENTABLE IGNORANCE.—A correspondent at
Roe.hampton sends to a weekly paper the following communi-
cation :—" Valuable antidote for hooping-cough, as prescribed
at the present day in the environs of England's great metro-
polis. Recipe: Take a black donkey, saddled and bridled,
caparisoned with trappings of white linen and red ribbons ;
seat the patient on the ass, and lead it nine times round an
oak-tree. The miracle must be worked on a Sunday, and in
full faith, otherwise it will have no effect. This was pre-
scribed a few days sgo with much gravity. You will say the
thing itself is too ridiculous to be true. But the shove, or
rather the following, scene was enacted to the very letter on
Sunday last, in the village of Roehampton. A keeper of a
beer-shop, named Sprat, has an infant, under two years of
kre, afflicted with hooping-cough. It was on Sunday last
mounted on an ass, attended by mama and grandmama, an
old lass in her eighth decade ; and after traversing • great
part of the journey, returned for the attendance of another
female. Having obtained their object, the cavalcade again
set forth ; and, after travelling about a mile, a tree was
selected, and the ceremony performed with due reverence,
when they wended their way back with the greatest solem-
''-- Thus ended the farce."

' STATE OF THE COUNTIII.
DIATEII VT ION NENAOII.—On Thursday last
an inqueet was held at Nenagh, on the body of Margaret
Corcoran, a young woman aged twenty years, whose
death
it appean was caused from a want of sufficiency of food to
sustain nature. It is lamentable that a fallow-creatine should
be permitted to perish in the midst of plenty, in the centre
of a large and populous town. The verdict attributed her
death to a general state of debility brought on by
the want
of food.
CLARII.—We are informed by a oorrespondemt, says the
Limerick Reporter, that three persons have died from want
of food at Miltown,Malbay, within the present week.
Coax.—Our readers are already aware of the ease of I
Mac Kennedy, who died of starvation at Skibbereen, in the
west of Cork. An inquest was held upon the body on
for he
the
2nd of November. On the Wednesday evening bee I
died his wife procured lid. or 2d. worth of meal, and a
neighbour gave her a head of cabbage. On the day of bbi
death (Saturday, the 24th ult.) the steward of the works on
which he was employed gave him a piece of bread, and in'
the act of putting it to his mouth be sank and died. The
two physicians swore that such an instance of starvation they
never before met with. He was so attenuated from want of',
food that all the fatty substance of the system was absorbed'
and gone. Several weeks' wages were clue on the works.
From the terms of the verdict it would seem that the can
unit underg9 investigation in a court That the '
said Denis McKennedy, on the 24th of October, in the year
aforesaid, at Cahara-road, in the county afornaid, died of I
starvation owing to the gross negligence of the Board of
Works." The explanation given by Captain Gordon, on the
part of the board, is that the pay for the labourers on the
McKennedy worked, had, by mistake, been

sent to another district.
