THE BOMBARDMENT OF ROME:
The following is an extract of a letter from Fathe.
Ventura :

" At the moment that I am writing these lines my
heart is bowed down with grief. The French soldiers
are bombarding Rome, destroying its monuments,
and massacring its inhabitants, and blood is
flowing in streams on both sides. Fears are enter-
tained lest when the French enter Rome by as-
sault the people should in its rage massacre all
the priests and all the nuns. What a fine victory will
this be for France ! What a great restoration of the
Pope! History tells us that restorations by force ale
not durable, and that thrones raise d upon dead bodies
and in blood are certain to be soon overthrown. 01
all the combinations discussed at Gaeta the most
fatal has been chosen. But what is still mote
grievous to every catholic mind is that this re-
storation, if it takes place,. will destroy the autho-
rity or the Pontiff without establidaing the power of the
Prince. Each cannon ball that ruins the walls of
Rome will destroy by degrees the faith of the Ro-
mans in the Catholic Religion. The eff, ct pi e-
duced by " i con Mti di Pio lino rnandati a suer figli"
(the cannon balls so ticketed and carried through
the city) is known, but is as nothing compared to
the rage against the Church, and the Catholic religion,
created by the sight of the French shells. As most of
these shells have fallen in the Transtevere, and ruined
the houses of the poor people who inhabit it, as well as
killed some of them, the Transtev:,rini—that Fortier' of
the pepulation, lately so catholic, are those who now
curse and blaspheme against the Pope and the clergy, in
whose name they see all this carnage and horror.
"I am far from believing that Pius the Ninth desires, or
even knows all this; but what I know and believe on
this matter is unknown to the Roman people, who only
see and feel that they they are suffering. They si e
that the Austrians, with Monsignor Bedini amongst
them, are ravaging the legations, bombarding towns,
inapesing enormous taxes on peaceable citizens, are
prescribing and shooting the most ardent patriots,
acid re-establishnig the clerical absolutism wherever
they go. They see that the French are spilling Roman
blood in the name of the Pope, who has sent against them
four powers, armed with all the means of destruction,
against the Roman State, like a pack of hounds
against a wild beast. They feel and know all this,
and they rise against the Pope and the Church
in the name and interest of which the Pope pro-
claims that it is his duty to reconquer by force his
temporal power. The excesses of Rome have been sur-
passed by the excesses of Gaeta. Not a word has been
said of peace, reconciliation, or pardon; not a promise
made to maintain public liberties; and yet this ought to
have been done by the Pope. The last allocution of the
Pontiff has been road. how imprudent to have made the
Pope praise Austria, and the King of Naples, who have
ever been the sworn foes of Italian independence. How
much more imprudent still to make him say that,
of his own accord, he had appealed to the powers
to re-establish him on a throne which he had himself
abandoned. It was confessing that he wished to do to
his people what he had declared' unwilling last year to
do against the Croats and Austrians, oppressors of
Italy. Even the women feel this reasoning; and now
that they see the effects of this brutal war of four great
powers against a small state, their husbands and chil-
dren killed and wounded, you cannot form an idea of
the rage of these women, of the energetic sentiments
that they utter, and the fury that animates them against
eh,e Poue,the cardinals, and the mass of the priesthood.
You can conceive, therefore, how it is that churches have
been devastated. People will no longer confess them-
selses, or communicate, or hear mass. There is no
longer any preaching at Rome, because no one will listen.
Everything that is presented by a priest, or smells of a
priest, is shunned.

"To me Pius IX. is always the vicar of Jesus Christ,
the head of the Church. But can the mass understand
this. I know that all the youth of Rome and all
those who have instruction, reason as follows :
' The Pope wants to reign over us by force.
Ile wants for the Church, or the priests, a sovereignty
which only belongs to the people, and he thinks
that it is his duty to act thus, because we are Catho-
lics, and because Rome is the centre of Catholicism.
Well, what is there to prevent us from abst,cluning Ca-
tholicism, and becoming Protestants if necessary; and
then what pulitical right can he urge against us? Fur
is it not horrible to think, that because we are Catholics
and sons of the Church, we mast be kept in leading
strings by the Church, abjure all our rights, and expect
from the liberality of priests as a concession what is
justly due to us, and be condemned to the lot of the most
miserable of nations?'

" These sentiments are more common than they are
supposed to be, and have even penetrated into the mkt's
of women. And thus my labours of twenty years have
been lost, and Protestantism is de facto implanted in a
portion of the good and religious Roman people, and
that too, horrible to relate, by the priesthood itself and
the bad policy into which the Pope has been drawn.
" llad Pope Pius.lX. been left to himself; he would
never have left Rome. Had he done so, he would
not at any rate have left the Roman states. but
would have gone to Bologna, Ancona, or Civita
Vecchia, where he would have been received
as from heaven. Ile would not have gone to Gaeta
and refused to see the Roman deputations, and he would
have:said :—‘,Let me stay in exile rather tha❑ appeal to
arms which would perhaps subdue, but would cause the
loss of the hearts of my people." Rome will probably
fall, and the Pope may again enter the Eternal City,
but he will never reign over the hearts of the Romans."

APPLICATION OF GUN-COTTON
TO THE SILVERING OF LOOKING-GLASSES.
M. H. Vohl has recently discovered that a solution
of gun cotton in a caustic alkaline ley, possesses in a
high degree the property of precipitating silver from
its solutions in the metallic form. If gun-cotton be
placed in contact with a caustic alkaline ley of suffi-
cient strength, the cotton dissolves in the
ley, with the disengagement of considerable heat,
and of ammonia, and furnishes a deep brown liquor,.
sometimes rather thick ; which, on the addition of
an acid, gives rise to a brisk effervescence, with
disengagement of carbonic acid, and nitrous acid.
The manner in which the gun cotton comforts
itself in this case shows that this substance is not
dissolved as such, but undergoes a decomposition, in
which the atoms of the oxygen of the nitric acid com-
bine with an atom of the carbon of the cotton, and
give rise to the carbonic acid ; which, as well as the
nitrous acid, combines with a portion of the potash.
A new decomposition of the nitrous salt by the potash,
in presence of substances containing hydrogen, fur-
nishes the ammonia.

The most remarkable property of this alkaline
solution, is the following :—lf a few drops of nitrate
of silver be added to the solution, and enough
ammonia added, so that the oxyde of silver which
is formed, becomes redissolved, and heat gently
applied by means of a water bath, a moment arrives
when the liquid assumes a dark brown colour, show-
ing an effervescence, and all the silver is precipitated
on the sides of the wood containing the solution, as
a polished mirror. The mirror thus obtained sur-
passes considerably in brilliancy that which is pro-
duced by etherial oils, or ammoniacal aldehyde; and
its ready production must give it an important place
in many useful practical applications.
It is not only the gun cotton which possesses this
property; it is found that cane sugar, milk sugar,
mannite, gums, and other substances, which become
explosive when treated with nitric acid, &c., the same.
The picroazotic acid itself produces, under the same
circumstances, a bright metallic surface; and it would
appear that this reaction takes with all those bodies,
which, treated with nitric acid, do not furnish the
products of oxydation ; but another series of bodies
which admit nitric acid as such into their constitu-
tion, and at the same time abandon an equivalent of
water.—Patent Journal.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—An
accident, by which five persons nearly lost their lives,
and ono life was lost, occurred upon the river on Satur-
day afternoon last off the Archbishop of Canterbury's
palace. It appears that five persons, named William
Fields, Edward Groves, Samuel Miller, Thomas Barnes,
and William Biggins, all in the employment of Messrs.
Price, the patent cocoa rut mind!. manufacturers, at
Vauxhall, had been to witness a cricket match played
by some of their fellow-workmen at Battersea, and, in
order to return home, they hired a four-oared boat, into
which they all got, and had rowed down the river on the
Middlesex side as far as the Horseferry-stairs, w hen
they turned the head of the vessel in the direction of
Lambeth, and were crossing the water, when the surf
caused by a passing steamer
,struck the midships of the
boat and turned it over, precipitating the five persons
into the river. The numerous persons passing along the
Bishop's-walk who witnessed the accident and saw the
young men plunging about in the water raised an alarm,
when several watermen put off in their boats and suc-
ceeded, after some time, in getting the four firstnamed
out of the water, but Higgins was unfor unately
drowned. The deceased was a son of police-constable
Higgins, No. 99 L division, residing at No. 4, Catharine-
street, Vauxhall. The four persons taken out of the
water were immediately conveyed to the White Lion
Tavern, where Mr. Jeffrey, surgeon, quickly attended,
and by unremitting attention the poor fellows were,
although at one time thought to be dead, perfectly re-
stored by five o'clock, and were enabled to be removed
to their own residences. The body of Higgins had not
been found at six o'clock last evening.
TRADE OF NOTTINGHAM.--The turn-out of the
wrought cotton hose hands is by no means ended; with
a few exceptions, the adverse parties seem more deter-
mined than ever, whilst in Derbyshire it assumes a
serious aspect; several shops of frames have
been broken to deter persons from going to
work. The stcekingers are decidedly of opinion
that the houses must eventually give way, for
want of goods, but the latter are equally confident as to
the result. The drawer, pantaloon, and shirt branch
(notwithstanding its extension in the villages) is in a
tuir condition, the demand for these articles being
very extensive throughout the western world, and even
in Asia, though previous to the invention of fleecy
hosiery, about 1720, they were not known. Their
elasticity as well as strength makes them superior
to any other article used as underwear. The cotton
glove trade continues in a good condition, but as might
be expected at this season, there is a falling off in silk
gloves, especially in Derbyshire; the hosiers give out
material with a sparing hand to independent frames,
not being their own property. The silk knotted branch
is in a tolerably fair state, the frames being pretty well
employed. The plain silk hose branch if in a most de..
pressed condition.

NORTHERN UNION orl, ITERARY
AND MECHANICS' INSTITUTIONS.
(Abridged from the Carlisle Journal.)
The second annual meeting of the delegates from
Literary and Mechanics' Institutions of Northumber-
land, Durham, and Cumberland was held on Monday
last; at the Athenmam in this city. The Union was
established on the 15th of June, last year, at a meeting
held at Hexham. The principal objects embraced by the
Union are—lst, The interchange. of opinion and advice
on the local management of literary institutions, and the
consequent diffusion of improved methods-2d, Procur-
ing first rate lecturers on literary, scientific, and general
subjects of interest, at a much lee er pecuniary cost than
can be done by isolated engagements-3d, Supplying
with manuscript lectures the smaller societies who. e
funds will not admit of the engagement of professional
lecturers-4th, Association with a central committee
ever ready to advise from practical experience, to ex-
amine rules, and to secure the greatest benefits by com-•
bined action and watchfulness-sth, Annual meetings,
itinerating and assisting each institution in due course
—6th, The gratuitous admission to the reading rooms
and lectures of the members of the associated institutes,
in visiting another town, by the production of their cards
of membership.
By the second rule, all institutions including amonge•
their objects the intellectual advancement of the middle
and operative classes are admissible to the Union. Its
affairs are entrusted to a Central Committee, consisting
of a president, treasurer, honorary secretary, and ten
members selected from the institutions within an avail-
able distance from Newcastle, where the ordinary meetings
are held. The expenses of advertising and printing are
defrayed by subscriptions from each institution—those
having less than 200 members contributing lOs ; those
having 200, 205.; and upwards, 30s. per annum.
At twelve o'clock on Tuesday the delegates met in the
library of the Mechanics' Institution; George Craw-
shay, Esq., of Newcastle, President of the Uniou, pre-
sided. The ;following is a list of the delegates and the
institutions they represented:—
Newcastle, J. L. Thoreton ; Ilexham, W. Robb ;
Winlaton, Geo. Walker and Jos, ph Cowan; Carlisle,
A. Davidson and Dr. Lonsdale; Wigton, John Rooke;
Workington, H. Gladders and J. Mordy; Sunderland,
Booth and Clensr•' Alston, Holme;
Corbridge, Etherby, Morpeth, Kendal, Shotley Bridge,
Crook, lilvtb, and Howdon, did not send delegates.
Mr. L. THORNTON, the secretary, read the report,
which was unanimously adopted.
At three o'clock the delegates and several members of
the Carlisle Mechanics' Institution dined together at the
Royal Hotel. Robert Feeguson, Esq , was called to the
chair. The usual loyal toasts having been drank,
The CHAIRMAN said the next toast was " The
Northern Union of Mechanics' Institutes." In Carlisle
they , had an institution of their own which was
flourishing in a high degree, and similar societies
in different parts of the county were conducted with
great spirit; and as they were conducted on the
best principles, were likely to be attended
with success. It was for the purpose of forming
a union between them, and adopting whatever might be
mutually discovered to be beneficial, that they were met,
and he trusted that the union might prove_of great ad-•
vantage to all. He haetarset rieeenre-in proposing the
health of Mr.--Cesswshavv, the President of the Union,
who had been kind enough to come from Newcastle to
give his assistance to the meeting.—(Cheers.)
Mr. CRAWSHAY, in returning thanks, observed that
he had a lively sense of responsibility in assuming the
office of Chairman of the Northern Union of Me-
chanics' Institutions. He could not but regard the
step which had led to that union as one of great im-
portance. It was not the first union of the kind that
been formed. One had been formed in York-
shire, and one in Scotland, and it was per-
fectly evident that other institutes would be formed
into unions, so that we might hope, in course of
time, to see a universal union, and the officers and mem-
bers of all holding correspondence with each other.—
(Hear.) Accepting the office of chairman of the union of
the tour counties was equivalent to saying at once that
he did value learning, science, and the improvement of
man; but he should not expatiate on the value of learn-
ing, or favour the company with any he might have him-
self. He was not so sanguine as to imagine that by
forming societies of any description whatever the cruse
of science and learning was greatly to be advanced di-
rectly. That could only proceed from individual and
hard labour. Each of us had a duty of a double nature
to discharge—to instruct ourselves, which duty he dis-
charged as well as he could—for he was brought up
amid literary pursuits, and continued them in business,
and should do so to the end of his life—and to give others
the means of instruction.—(Hear, hear.) He
thought their purpose on occasions of this kind was to
endeavour to contrive means by which opportunities
might be given to others for acquiring knowledge. He
hoped they would succeed in that object. This union was
formed at Hexharn last year. His first hearing of it was
that he was appointed president, and a single observation
would show the advantages of the union. Any member
of one of the 19 institutions it embraced had a free
pass, on showing his ticket, to the advantages of all
the others. If he came from Newcastle to Carlisle,
Ilexham, or Workington, and produced his card of
membership, he was entitled to enjoy the use of the
libraries and the pleasure of the society of the members
of institutions in those places. In Workington, espe-
cially, he fancied that pleasure must be very great, for
20 per cent, of the members, he understood, were ladies.
—(Laughter.) Thus, pleasure as well as profit might be
derived from the union. The duty of the Delegates
that day had been the examination of Mr. Thornten's
elaborate and elever report, giving an account of
every society in the union. They had examined it, and
cross-questioned Mr. Thornton upon it, very carefully,
and had been enabled to form just ideas of the ma-
nagement of the various institutions. They had also
arranged that next year a tabulated statement should be
produced, showing whether the, institutions were in debt
or whether they had saved money. Something had al-
ready been done that day ; next year they hoped to make
progress, and he rniglat state that the committee were ,
fully satisfied that, with industry and care, great benefits
would result to the
_union from these meetings of dele-
gates. But whilst looking forward to the future, it was
only fit that they should taste the enjoyment of the
present, and a more auspicious commencement than
that of to-e!ay he thought it would Le almost impossible
to have. By such meetings a degree of intercourse was
promoted which was highly desirable. For himself, he
had met with several whom he had never met with
before, and he felt himself to be advanced in knowledge,
in common with his fellow-delegates who had done them-
selves the honour of attending on the present occa-
sion. The members of the associated institutions ought
to cultivate harmonious feelings, and no one could say
that
.the journey he undertook in order to promote
them was not worth the small expense and trouble
which it involved. In conclusion, he would be' to
propose the health of Mr. Ferguson, the President
of the Carlisle Mechanics' Institution—A gentle-
man who, he knew, had been most activo and
benevolent in promoting its interests.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN returned thanks for the honour done
to his father, whose absence he regretted.
The VICE-CHAIRMAN proposed the health of the de-
legates.
Mr. Roessez returned thanks.
Mr. G. GRAHAM, in a complimentary speech, proposed
The Press of Carlisle," to which, he thought, Mecha-
nics' Institutions were greatly indebted for their success;
and he coupled with the toast the healths of Mr. Steel
and Mr. Perring,
Mr. PERRING returned thanks, and took occasion to
express his extreme regret at the absence of Mr. Steel
from the meeting, on account of illness. He trusted that
Mr. Steel, renovated iu health, would be able to attend
the next anniversary of the union. Mr. Perring con-
cluded by expressing his approbation of the object of the
meeting.

Mr. JOIIN STEEL also briefly re turned thanks. •
Mr. DAVIDSON proposed the health of " the Office-
bearers of the Northern Union," coupled with the health
of Mr. Thornton, the secretary.—• (Cheers.)
Mr. THORNTON returned thanks.
Several others toasts were drank before the meeting
broke up.
The next meeting of the Union will be held in Sun-
derlani4.
We understand that at the conclusion of the dinner
Mr. P. H. Howard intimated to the Secretary his willing-
ness at any time to throw open his beautiful grounds
and gardens at Corby to the members of any of the
institutions in the union who might express a desire
for a picnic party.

SUDDEN DEATH OF MAJOR CAMPBELL.—We re-
gret to state that Major Charles Campbell, au old Penin-
sular officer, died suddenly on Saturday afternoon, while
walking in Pall-mall. The deceased gentleman had for
a considerable period of time resided at the house of
Mr. Leggett, No. 46, Duke-street, St. James's, and
about four o'clock lett his apartments iu apparent health
to proceed to the Army and Navy Club (of which he
was a member). He reached the club in safety, and
after a short stay there, he left with the view of taking
his usual promenade. While passing the residence of
Mr. French, in Pall-mall, the unfortunate gentleman was
obsreved to stagger, when a gentleman passing by rushed
forward to his assistance, but the Major fell, and after a
short struggle he ceased to exist. Almost at the moment
two members of the club came up and recognised their
now deceased friend. Surgical aid was immediately pro-
cured, but all efforts at reanimation proved unavailing,
and Major Campbell was conveyed, a lifeless corpse, to
the apartments he had left a short time before. On
going out he complained of being very cold, but his
general appearance did not denote the existence of any
disorder. The deceased, who retired from the army in
1841 with full pay and the rank of Major, was about 68
years of age, and had spent fifty years in connexion with
the military service. For many years Ire held his com-
mission in the 61st (Gloucestershire) regiment of Foot,
and was with that regiment in Egypt and the Peninsula.
He was also present at the battles of Talavera, Sala-
manca, the Pyrenees, Nivelle, Nive, Orthes, and Toulouse.
APOTHECARIES' HALL.—Names of gentlemen who
passed their examination in the science and practice of
medicine, and received certificates to practise on Thurs-
day, June 28th:—George Gordon Lawrence Williams,
Llandovery; Robert Tassel], Wye, near Ashford Kent;
Peter Allen, Smarden, near Cranbrook ; William Jevnes,
St. John's, Newfoundland; Luke Limner, South Shields.
EXTENSIVE FORGERY ON THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
—lnformation has -been received by the metropolitan
police that henry Brougilam Dawson, clerk to Messrs.
Henry, manufacturers, of Bradford, had obtained 950/
by a forgery on the Branch Bank of England at Leeds,
with which he had gone off. 1001. is offered for his ap-
prehension.

PORTLAND.—Works of considerable magnitude are
now cn the eve of commencement at the Grove Works,
Portland. Mcssrs. J. and C. Rigby's contract for the
construction of barracks, an infirmary, a convict chapel,
and prison accommodation for 500 additional convicts,
has been accepted, and these large undertakings are to
be rapidly proceeded with.—Pcole Herald.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
LIVERPOOL, JUNE 30.—There have been good arrivals 0
foreign wheat, flour, Indian born, and beans, the last few days
but the supplies derived coastwise and from Ireland are still
small. At our Corn Exchange yesterday there was a fair de-
mand for wheat anb flour, at the full prices of la.t Tuesday.
Oats and oatmeal met a moderate sale, and both were quite as
dear. Barley, beans, and peas were without change. At a
reduction of 6d to 9d per quarter a fair quality of yellow Indian
corn found buyers for Ireland, but white, being still scarce,
fully sustained late rates: top paices of yellow Indian corn 355,
and white 355 per 4 8"lb. To-clay Indian corn is in demand at
yestero!ay's prices. No charge in the value of other articles
of the trade.

MANCHESTER, JUNE 30.—1 n the early part of the week the
flour trade was further stimulated by the accounts from Lon-
don, Liverpool, and other leading markets, and rather higher
rates were demanded for choice marks of fresh-made English'
Subsequently, however, an inactive feeling prevailed ; butfac• tors, influenced by the reduced nature of the stocks in first
hands and the limited supplies now coming forward, continued
to require fully previous rates, Oatmeal has been in limited
request throughout the week, without material change its
value. The imports of foreign wheat, beans, Indian corn, and
barrel flour at Liverpool are to a liberal extent ; but of English
or It ish produce the at rival: are so light as to be unworthy of
notice. Our market this morning was of a languid character,
the business passing in any article being altogether confined to
the purchases made by necessitous buyers; and whilst holders
were firm in demanding fully the currency of this day se'nnight
for the best description of wheat and flour, oats and oatmeal
must be noted the turn cheaper.

GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 28. —A t our market
to-day the numbers were—oxen, 621 ; sheep, 1,0, 2; lambs,
2,005. The number of cattle being large caused a dull sale,
with prices in favour of the buyer. Best ox beef sold at 50S
per cwt, inferior bullocks and cows, 40s to 45s per ditto; sheep,
best aged wethers, brought per lb, inferior 4d to 5d per
ditto; lambs dull sale, and prices varied from 4s to 14s. At the
close of the market a great number of cattle, sheep, and
lambs turned out un'old.
BELFAST, JUNE 28.—Wheat from the country is taken la
as it appears at former rates. Parcels, ex store or ship, have
been sold at an advance of rss per ton for fine qualities, whilst
inferior are not readily sold at former prices. Holders of to"
reign look for an advance of 5s to lOs per ton, which checks the
demand. Irish lots, 9/ 153 to 10/ los ; Petersbur gh 8/ 151 to 9: ss; Odessa, 9/ bs to 101; Baltic and American, IV/, 5s to 11l
lOs per ton. Flour is in rather better demand at former prices.
American held for 24s 9d to 265, being an advance of 9d to le
per barrel, which checks the demand. Barley—Both supply
and price is nominal. Oats are in fair demand at former price/.
Parcels, ex ship, sell at 71 per ton for feeding. Oatmeal con•
tinues in fair demand at former rates. Indian corn is a free
sale at former rates, say 8/ 10s per ton for yellow, and 81 159 to
9/ for white.
CORK, JUNE 27.—The supply of that of home growth is net
worth noticing. In wheat, whether Irish or foreign, we have,
not had much business doing. Holders demand an advance of
6d to is per barrel, and this has checked business. We have
no free-on-board sales in oats to report, any business passing
being confined to the merest retail purchases for feeding pur"
poses. We have a better demand for. and an improved feeling
in flour, which has gone oirmore freely this week. Prices tend
upwards, but as yet we cannot quote any actual advance. We
have had a moderate business passing in Indian corn, in which
holders endeavoured, but unsuccessfully, to establish an
advance. We therefore quote prices unchanged from last
week, the current rates being 8/ 2s 6d to 8/ 71 00
per ton. Indian meal also remains without alteration.
