CADIZ, OCT. 23.

Advices have been received here from Mexico to
the 11th September, according to which the Conser-
vative party proposed to replace the President by a
Triumvirate, for which they put for ward Generals
Comonfort, Viduauro, and Etoblado,

It is asserted that the Spanish Government has
signified to President Juarez that they will sign no
treaty whatever with him.

PRO.SECUTION OF "ESSAYS AND

.REVIEIVS."

This apparently interminable subject, which has occa-
-1 sioned so much controversy and so much angry feeling in
the Church, will be brought once more before Dr. Lushing-
ton,te
h the Dean of the Court of Arches, on Monday, 3d
of November, unless, indeed, the case should come before
the Judicial Committee of Privy Council on technical
grounds arising out of the learned judge's decision on the
admissibility of the articles of the 25th of June last. The
Bishop of Salisbury intends prosecuting the case against
the Rev. Dr. Rowland Williams, vicar of Broad Chalke,
and has amended the articles filed in accordance with the
decision of the Court, so that probably Dr. Lushington
will be able to pronounce judgment on the merits of the
I case in the course of the forthcoming term. The proceed-
ings are taken under the general ecclesiastical law, and not
under the statute of Elizabeth, and the specific charges
which Dr. Williams has to meet are set forth in the revised
articles which the Bishop of Salisbury has framed. The
bishop has reformed the articles in which Dr. Williams is
alleged to have said that the Bible is simply an expression
of devout reason, and that the sacred writers were merely
passionless machines, as being a violation of the 6th and
7th of the thirty-nine Articles of Religion, The bishop
hits also reformed the 12th article filed against Dr. Wil-
liams, in which he is alleged to deny the views held by
the Church of England on the propitiation and satisfac-
tion made by Christ for the sins of the world. Some
other articles have been reformed, but the articles which
are now omitted, ',and which will not be argued, contain
the charges against Dr. Williams of denying the Messianic
character of Christ, the authenticity of the Book of Daniel,
the Epistle to the Hebrews, and the Petrine Epistles, the
divinely ordained nature of water in baptism as a means
grace, the doctrine of the resurrection, and the incarna-
tion. That article is also omitted which dec'ares that
the tendency, object, and design of the whole Essay is
to inculcate a disbelief in the Divine inspiration and
orthodoxy of the Holy Scriptures, In the course of the
next term the case of the Rev. James Fendall,
rector of Harlton, and proctor in the Lower House of Con-
vocation for the clergy of the diocese of Ely, against the
Rev. Henry Bristowe Wilson, 8.D., vicar of Great Slaugh- .
ton, Huntingdonshire, the author of the article on the Na-
tional Church in Essays and Reviews will also be proceeded
with, and judgment probably delivered.

The works in the interior of the cathedral of
Notre Dame, which were resumed on the 17th of August
last, will not las terminated before the 20th December next.
fhe building will then be reopened for public worship. The
closing of the church was necessary from the nature of the
repairs to be effected. More than 200 workmen are at pre-
sent employed in repairing the arches of the nave, the
chapels,
and pavement, in fixing the iron railings, and la

With regard to the silk trade Messrs. Durant and
Co. state :—The periodical public sales commenced
yesterday and are concluded. The quantity printed
was about 1,600 bales Bengal, 5,000 bales China,
and 1,000 bales Japan, with about 700 bales Can-
ton silk. Unfortunately the proportion of currently
useable silk which the importers were disposed to
sell at market quotations was small, hence, although
there is a general disposition for business little was
done at the sales. Large arrivals are just being
landed—about 4,000 bales China with 500 bales
Japan—which attract considerable attention.
GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY OF CANADA.—The
recent half-yearly report of the directors having caused
much dissatisfaction among the shareholders living in Bir-
mingham, a meeting was convened by advertisement, and
held on Thursday, at the offices of Mr. B. Chesshire, soli-
citor, Temple-row. Mr. Chesshire was called to the chair.
After considerablediscussion, it was proposed by Mr. Har-
rison, and seconded by Mr. Bodill, that the following re-
monstrances be forwarded to the board of directors :—" 1
It appearing from paragraph 12 in the report that the direc-
tors still entertain the question of an amalgamation with the
Grand Trunk Railway, and this meeting being fully con-
vinced that the position of the two companies is so widely
different that it is quite impossible it could be effected upon
any terms without endangering the ruin of the Great
Western, as reference to the financial position, the state
of the track and condition of the rolling stock of the Grand
Trunk will convince any one, therefore it is hoped the ques-
tion of amalgamation will be altogether abandoned. 2d.
That the late attempt to obtain a bill from the Canadian
parliament for this object has created a want of confidence
in the directors, and this meeting considers that the pro-
visional agreement, signed by the board in contereplation

of such amalgamation, ought to be disclosed to the share-
holders. 3d. That this meeting has read with alarm the
report of Mr. Sharp, the car superintendent, from which it
appears that upwards of 50 carriages and cars have been
entirely broken up during the past half-year as unfit for
further service ; and it having been stated that the rolling
stock of the Great Western has been used over the Grand
Trunk line during the past winter, and no reference been
made to it in the report, it is felt that some explanation of
such unprecedented damage should be given by the board."
Birmingham Daily Post.

RELEASE OF THE REPORTER GRAY.—By the

liberality of friends, Mr. Gray, who was convicted of libel
at the Central Criminal Court about six weeks ago, and
fined £5O, has been released. The fine was paid on Wed-
nesday.

The Confederate steamer Nashville, which
escaped from the Tuscarora at Southampton, in England,
is penned in Ogechee River, with no chance of escape; her
chief officer has been taken prisoner.—American paper.
A FAMILY NEARLY POISONED BY CHEESE.—
Som e consternation was caused in a family at Byker, an
an evening or two ago, by the sudden and simultanesus ill-
ness of the lady of the house and four of her daughters. It
appears that the persons affected had that night at supper
eaten a portion of American cheese which had been pur-
chased at Newcastle, and that soon afterwards they were
seized with cramp, vomiting, and diarrhoea. A gentleman
residing at Newcastle, who was a friend of the family, had
been paying them a visit, and on his road home he became
subject to similarly alarming symptoms. After reaching
home he remained unconscious for several hours; but, hap-
pily, all the parties, though affected in an alarming manner,
recovered. The cheese was of a pale and rather crumbling
appearance, and the persons upon whom it had so serious
effects had not eaten more than one ounce or two ounces
each.—Newcastle Chronicle.

LIVERPOOL, COTTON MARKET, October 23.—The
demand from the trade continues very moderate, and is
freely met generally, but Surats of good quality command
full price. The sales were 4,000 bales-3,000 on specula-

tion and for export.
EXPLOSION AT A PERCUSSION-CAP MANUFAC-
Touy.—Shortly after 2 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon
an alarming explosion took place in one of the cartridge-
filling huts detached from the percussion-cap manufactory
of Messrs. E. and H. Ludlow, Aston Lanes, Witten. It
will no doubt be remembered by most our readers that
since the fearful explosion in Whittall-street, filling of per-
cussion caps and cartridge cases manufactured on the pre-
mises of Messrs. Ludlow, in Legge-street, has been carried
on, for safety, in detached huts, at a distance of about
twenty or thirty feet from each other, at Witton. It
was in one of these huts that the explosion occurred.
At the time named it seems that two young women
(which is the number of persons allowed to work in each
hut) named Amelia Homer and Catherine Caydey, re-
siding respectively in Lancaster-street and Dartmouth-
street, were engaged in opening damaged cartridges, some
of which were the remains of a recent order, and others
(wet ones), returned from the store in Bingley-hall, at a
bench in the cartridge filling room, when, from some un-
explained cause, they exploded. The women were burnt
severely about the face and upper extremities, and one of
them in her fright leaped through the window of the hut
into the yard, quickly followed by the other. Mr. Starkey,
the foreman, who was a short distance off at the time, per-
ceiving dense smoke issuing from the building, at once went
to the spot, and finding that the i oor women were very
much hurt, had them conveyed to the General Hospital,
Fortunately, there was but a small quantity of powder in
the hut at the time, or the result "night have been much
more serious. The room in which the occurrence took
place was not damaged. The cause of the explosion at
present remains a mystery, and it is stated that at the
time it took place there were no fires or gas burning in the
budding. On inquiry at the hospital the unfortunate
young women were going on well.—Binningham Dailyate
Post.

According to the Gazetta Polska, the projected
railway from Bialostok to Pinsk is to be Continued as far as
Odessa, via Kiew.

A letter from Calais states that the Albert
Edward steamer, from Folkestone, put into that port two
days back with 74 passengers, having found it quite im-

" I understand perfectly the persistence of England in
following up the formation of this unity, and I am far from
blaming her for it. I also understand why Belgians, Aus-
trians, and even Russians applaud this policy ; and I do not
blame them for it. Every people has the right to pursue
what best suits its own interests; and if France, the first
military power in Europe, the most favoured by position,
disquiets her neighbours by the progress of her arms and
the influence of her policy, why should I allege it as a crime
against them to try to weaken her and to encircle her with
iron? What I do not understand is the attitude of the
French press, dominated by its Ultramontane sympathies.
It is manifest that the Constitution of Italy as one united
Power, with an army of 300,000 men, would weaken the
empire in every possible way. Politically—for the Amphi-
tryonic Council of Europe, hitherto composed of the repre-
sentatives of five Powers, would be augmented by a sixth,
whose vote would be against us. We are too near Italy ;
we resemble her too much, we have rendered her services
too great for her to love us ; and in politics ingratitude is
the first of rights and the first of duties. Strategically—for
while Spain menaced us in the rear, England, Belgium,and
ii olland in front, Germany, Austria, and Russia on the
flank, Italy would pull at our legs and run the bayonet into
our stomachs, the only part which we thought protected;
and the coalition against France would count a member the
mor.3. Socially—for in regard to religion and ideas, our
influence would diminish, in the first place, in proportion to
the loss sustained by our military and political powers ; and
in the second place, we should lose all the advantage we
had by our title of first Catholic Power, protectors of the
Holy See, and this whether the Popo be despoiled of his
States, whether he rally to Victor Emmanuel, or whether
he quit Italy as an exile. Protestants and Anglicans
understand this well and rejoice at it. It is not for the
glory of a theological thesis that they combat the temporal
power and demand the evacuation of Rome by the French.
Doubtless the evil would be nothing if the said Protestants
and Anglicans renounced propagandism, if, in the civilised
universe, States agreed to suppress the budget of public
worship, abolish bishoprics, seminaries, consistories,
churches, temples, and synagogues ; but this is not the case.
Just as united Italy wishes to guard the Papacy, in the
same manner the dissenting churches aim at taking the place
of the orthodox Church; of religious bodies amounting to
130 or 150 millions of souls that would accrue to them. Now,
the Powers, having no mind to abolish worship, civilisation
among different peoples being very unequal, moral philoso-
phy known to the very smallest minority, the result of
Italian unity is quite clear for us—namely, that France
having lost the preponderance which her military power
secured for her, and moreover sacrificing the authority of
her faith without putting in its place the authority of ideas
—France would abdicate as a nation and come to an end."

M. Proudhon anticipates his being denounced not
only for combating Italian Unity, but also for
upholding the Papacy and being a partisan of the
clericals. " Perhaps I am," he says :
" Mere words dc, not frighten me, I warn you. But what
I hold to be of the greatest importance is to reason justly
and to avoid being duped. It is one thing to labour, as I
do every day, by philosophy, political economy, and law, by
the Revolution, in a word, in the cause of social regenera-
tion, and another thing to seek out what should be at a
given moment, in a Conservative Government, the conduct
followed by a statesman. Policy is the art of directing the
forces of nations, and in the hypothesis which I discuss,
and in the opinion of all the Powers interested, religion is
one of these forces. For the immense majority of mortals
religion is still the foundation of morality, the fortress of
consciences. Everybody admits this, and even Mazzini
and Garibaldi proclaim it. I affirm, then, that it would be
treason to the Chief of a State to abandon one of the forces
confided to him before steps were taken to substitute some-
thing else for it. He would resemble the general who, when
informed of the invention of the new muskets and rifled.
cannon, should begin by breaking all his old flint muskets
without waiting to get new ones. Yes, lam by position a
Catholic ; a clerical if you will have it so, because France,
my country, has not ceased to be both ; and because the
English are Anglicans, the Prussians Protestants, the Swiss
Calvinists, the Americans Unitarians, the Russians
Greeks ; and because, while our missionaries go to seek
martyrdom in Cochin China, those of England go to sell
Bibles and other articles of commerce."
Further on he says :

" So much the worse for France, they say, if Italy eman
cipated, united, becomes a source of trouble to her. The
Italians have the right to organise themselves as they please
in their owa land, and Rome and Venice belong to them. So
much the worse for France. Very good—but France has
also the right to make conditions for her service. I go fur-
ther, and I say that, if the service rendered has obtained the
assent of Europe, and if the debtor be insolvent, Europe
becomes security for the debt and responsible for it. Now,
this Italy emancipated only yesterday is not strong enough
to protect herself out of her own resources. It is asked that
the French army should evacuate Rome to-day rather than
to-morrow. Agreed ; but it is well understood that if the
Austrians take a fancy to return, France will not prevent
them. Italia fare da se. It is little too much to expect
that after having created Italy, and armed her against our-
selves, we should also mount guard to defend her. I con,.
sent that France shall ask nothing for the dead of Solferino
and Magenta; but how much are we to have for mounting
guard ? The Italians feel this so well that they anticipate
the answer. The nationality of one,' they say, vas made
at the expense of that of the other; unity is paid for by
annexation. Let the Emperor of the French take posses-
sion of the left bank of the Rhine, from Bale to the sea ;
let France re-enter into hor natural frontiers, we ourselves
will aid them. With this supplement of 8,000,000 of souls
and 6,000 square leagues of territory she will have recovered
her balance.' Now, I should like to know what our Bel-
gian democrats think of this system of compensation, so
favourable to Gai ibaldian ideas. In the same manner I
have heard it proposed, now in the name of Italy, now in
the name of Poland, to deliver up to Austria, in exchange
for Venetia or Galicia, Servia and Montenegro, and, if need
be, Moldo-Wallachia. Who knows if such a contingency has
not formed part of the arrangements of Garibaldi ? Nothing
is so selfish as a nationality, nothing less scrupulous than
the unitarian passion. People have declaimed a great deal
for some years past against the insolence of the Vienna
partitions; but let unity and nationalities go to work, and
you will see many others of the same kind."

THE COLLIERY ON FIRE AT WIGAN.—The efforts
which have hitherto been made to extinguish the fire in
Messrs. Mercer and Evans's High Brook Colliery, Fork-
ane, near Wigan, have been unsuccessful. At the end of
last
week, the covering of the down-cast shaft, the one
nearest to the four-feet mine in which the accident occurred,
was blown up by an explosion of gas, and since then ex-
plosion has succeeded explosion with startling rapidity—on
Wednesday morning, for instance, no fewer than seven
taking place. It has thus been impossible to keep an air-
tight covering on the downcast pit, but the boarding over
the upcast shaft remained firm till Wednesday, when it was
scattered in all directions by a rush of more than ordinary
force. Another plan is now being tried to extinguish the
fire—a large quantity of steam being thrown into the down-
cast shaft, which has again been closed. This, it is ex-
pected, will pass through that portion of the workings where
the fire exists, and will drive before it the smoke through
the upcast pit. If a current of steam can thus be !cut
through the pit, it is hoped, should no further explosions
take place, to subdue the fire in a short time, and check
further destruction of property. It is believed, however,
that the fire has not reached the five-feet seam, which is
very extensive, but is confined to the four-feet mine
in
which it originated, and to the yard coal, adjacent aeanl,

mainder from Australia.

CITY NEWS-THIS DAY.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There is rather less inquiry for discount accom-
modation to-day, the supply of commercial bills on
Oiler having fallen off, but the rates continue firm,
and bankers and others show very little disposition
to make even the slightest concession. The in-
creased quietude of business may be attributed to
the fact that many parties had obtained accommo-
dation before the weekly meeting of the Bank di-
rectors, because the opinion was entertained in some
quarters that the minimum might be advanced to
the extent of 1 per cent.

The Bank of England returns, completed to the
22d of October, exhibits some rather important al-
terations. - There is a large falling off in the stock
of bullion, while the reserve of notes has been
slightly diminished. The other securities have been
considerably reduced, as also the public and private
balances. The various items and the changes they
present are shown in the subjoined table :

In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
there has been rather more activity. Sugars have
been in increased demand at slightly enhanced
prices. Coffee, rice, and tea, however, have been a
shade cheaper. In fruit and spices there has beet
a moderate amount of business transacted at about
previous rates. Tallow has continued dull, and
prices have slightly given way for both present and
forward delivery.
The directors of the Grand Trunk Railway of
Canada have issued there report in anticipation of
the general meeting of shareholders. The board
recognises the improved management in Canada,
and the development of the traffic of the company,
and from reports which have been received, the
directors state that they are led to believe that the
abundant harvest of this year, together with the
somewhat reviving trade in the colony, will furnish a
steady and largely improving revenue. The directors
propose to reduce the number of their body from
15 to 12, and that the meetings of the 13oard
shall be held in England, while the directors in
Canada will constitute a committee of the Board
for local, financial, and other purposes. A long
report is appended from Mr. Watkin, who pro-
ceeded to Canada to represent the interests of the
Board in important matters connected with the
company.
The traffic receipts of the South Austrian and
Lombardo-Venetian Railway for the week ending
the 14th inst. amounted to £54,457, showing a de-
crease of £10,518 compared with the same period
of last year. On the Central of Italy branch, from
Plaisance to Bologne, the earnings were £4,414,
against £3,633 in 1851.

Two O'CLOCK.
At Paris, this morning, Three per Cent. Rentes
opened at 72f. 15c., and after touching 72f. 20c,,
were last quoted 72f. 7c., or 8 per cent, higher than
they closed yesterday.
The transactions in the English Stock Market
have been about equal to the recent daily average,
and at present there are no indications of a revival
of speculative activity. Consols at the commence-
ment of business were 93k, but sellers have since
appeared whose operations have caused a decline to
931 for money and the account. The New Threes
and Reduced Annuities are quoted 921 ; India 5
Per Cents. are steady at 1091 ; and the Enfaced
Paper at 1051 ; the Bonds are 295. to 325. prem. ;
the Exchequer Bills for June are marked 195.; and
the March ditto, 20s. prem. ; the Red Sea Tele-
graph are 21k.

Increased buoyancy has prevailed in the Foreign
Market, and the transactions have been rather ex-
tensive. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, are 839
ditto, 1858, 701 a ; ditto New Loan Scrip, 11 I
prem.; and the Consolides, 381 ; Egyptian have
advanced to 901 91 ; ditto, 2d issue, to 891 90;
Venezuelan, to 291 a ; Italian, to 721; Mexican, to
331; Portuguese Scrip is 21 prem.; Russian ditto,
11 2 prem.; Spanish Deferred, 461; ditto Passive,
214 22 ; and Chilian 49 per Cents., 851,

Business in the Railway Share Mirket con-
tinued moderately active. Prices, however, in some
instances, were a shade flatter. Great Westerns

and South Easterns receded ss. ; and London and
Blackwall 10s. South Westerns, however, improvPd
6'. ; Bristol and Exeter, 10s.; and Edinburgh and
Glasgow, £l.
The Foreign and Colonial lines have exhibited
no change of importance. Sambre and Meuse
realise 92- 1; Bahia and San Francisco, 19i h.
Cape Town and Dock have improved to 1061, and
East Indian to 1061.
Joint-Stock Bank Shares were again in active
request. London and Westminster advanced to
791; Bank of London to 981 ; Oriental Bank to
54i; and Union of Australia to 481.
In the
Miscellaneous Market there was little
variation in values. Peninsular and Oriental Steam
Company remained firm at 741. ; Royal Mail Steam
at 56; Australian Agricultural at 239; and National
Discount Company at '7l.
