THE PAGANISM OF ROME—with all its monstrous
errors and superstitions, even to the human sacrifice, with
the faint shadow of morality which it inculcated, formed
the cement and support of the political fabric; and the
philsophy of Epicurus and his followers, by denying the
superintendence of a Supreme Being, struck at the root
of all social and political morality, thus undermining the
ancient institutions of the Government, and paving the
way for an iron and blood thirsty despostism. The gross
fables and puerile mythology with which mankind
had been so long deluded could not resist the
assaults of sensual infidelity. The last was soon
enabled to dissipate the shadows that had so long
enveloped the human intellect, and to burst the bonds
of a superstition, whose head was hidden in the clouds,
and whose foot was on the neck of nations. But, in-
stead of bur:mating a purer system of morals for
that whit!-, had been abolished, and erecting an altar to
Truth amid the broken shrines of the divinities it had
dottaroned, in the pride of its heart, sensual philosophy
exalted its own form for the adoration of mankind, and
by removing ell the sanctions of religion—by corrupting
the motives and inducements to virtue—by stifling all the
aspirations of the heart, yearning and restlessly striving
for a higher and purer existence—it unbridled the wildest
excesses of passion; if *eoalled the divine principle from
its heavenward flight, and bade it seek in pandering to
the grossest sensuality the proper end and objset of its
being. The result was inevitable. Crime on a gigantic
scale ensued. Rome grow drunk with blood. Men
looked with horror upon the present, and to the future
with despair. One universal night of gloom brooded
over her empire, and it seemed as if the impious
dogma of the philosopher had been realiVed, and that
the Deity had abandoned man to his fate. The religi-
ous sentiment of Turkey, misled and faint as it is, is the
best protection it possesses against such debaucheries as
the Saturnalia of Rome, or the utter debasements of the
Parisian worship of the Goddess of Reason.—Lynch's
Expedition to the Dead Sea.

NEW CORE FOR CLIOLERA.—A correspondent of
the National, resident at Muret, communicates to his
friend the editor of that paper the following cure for
cholera morbus:—" Father Joseph Itizolstti, Vicar A pos-
tolie of Hou-Kouang, wrote on the 25th of November,
1842, to the General of the Franciscans of Alexandria, a
letter filled with details of the manners and customs of
the Chinese, in which the following passage occurs :
" Among other attacks on my health, I have had the
mholera morhus, and I should have been a dead man in
24 hours had not the malady been invade in time by a
good physician. The ordinary and most convenient
treatment is this,—the tongue of the patient is punc-
tured in innumerable places with the point of a table-
knife, or a crystal blade, so as to provoke an abun-
dant effusion of blood. Then, whilst some of the at-
tendants stretch the principal n-rves by main force,
others give the pltient s,?vere blows on the ehe,t, the
hick. the thighs, fr.:o the of
gush forth. When the crisis is uver the patient rceovtri,
at the cost of numerous scars end bruises and a skirt as
black as that of a negro.'"

EXCURSION ON BOARD THE
IHNDOSTAN.
Saturday last being the day appointed by the Govern-
ment officers tun the inspection and survey of the Perin
solar and ()dental Steam Navigation Company's large
frigate steamer Hindostan, and a short trip under steam
haying been deemed necessary for that purpose, the di-
rectors embraced the opportunity thus afforded to exhibit
her to their friends, and therefore invited a large com-
pany from all parts of the country to join them at South-
ampton on the occasion.
For the convenience of those proceeding from London,
the chairman and directors of the South- Western Rail-
way placed at the disposal of the company a .special
train, which het the Waterloo•bridge station at 9 35,
and arrived at the Southampton docks at half past 11.
and here the company embarked in the Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steamer Madrid for another vessel,
and proceeded to the Hindostan, lying in Southampton-
roads. At and about the docks everything bespoke a
general holyday. The fleet of steamers were gaily
dressed with colours, and, their officers were attired in
their best uniforms, and as the Madrid steamed out to
the iliedostan the Euxine, at her moorings, also dressed
out in colours and manned her yards. The Hindostan
was also gaily decorated with flags of all colours, and
fired salutes as the Madrid approached, and when the
directors and their friends arrived alongside she also
manned her yards.
All the company having arrived, the order was soon
given to slip the moorings, and at one o'clock precisely
the noble and stately ship swain, round and started
down the Southampton water towards Spithead, gather-
ing fresh speed at every revolution of her stupendous
wheels, the numerous company that had crowded the.
two steamers which conveyed the party from Southamp-
ton appearing upon her spacious decks a comparatively
small freight.
The fineness of the day, the bracing breeze, and the
sparkling sea were great auxiliaries to enjoyment; but,
when to these are added the wide field of interest
which the inspection of the ship presented, it was
impossible for the most fastidious and inanimate
to withstand the influences of so exhilarating a
position. It was not, therefore, at all surprising
to find the ship in Stokes Bay. and the Government
officer, Mr. Rigby, accurately taking and recording the
speed of the ship at the measured nautical mile, before
ail the points of interest in the vessel herself had been
discovered, and the superb fittings of the state cabins,
and the magnificent decorations of the saloon, had been
sufficiently admired. If there were any astonishment, it
was to be found in the well•ascertained fact that the
Hindostan had been steaming at the rate of 144 statute
miles an hour, for she ran the measured nautical mile in
Stokes Bay in 4 minutes 50 seconds.
Spiihead, however, soon attracted the attention of the
company, as the Hindostan swept across and rounded
her Majesty's ship Superb, 80 guns, Captain Purcell.
Hitherto the Hindustan had been steaming with the tide;
a lads diwinudon in her rate of progress as she met the
ebb gave an opportunity for a to ak into Portsmouth
Harbour—a passing glance at a couple of fine first-class
merchantmen at anchor, and the interesting scenery with
which this locality abounds. In a few minutes the Hin-
dustan had again arrived at the measured mile, when
she ran the distance in 5 minutes 37 seconds, giving her
a rate of; 10.682 knots, or 124 statute miles an hour,
thereby making her average rate of steaming no less
than 11 knots, or rho excellent speed of 134 statute
wiles. rho good ship continued at this rapid speed to-
wards Osborne-hoxse and Cowes, when the time for re-
freshment baying arrived, the agreeable summons was
duly given, but inasmuch that it was impossible that the
saloon could contain the numerous guests on board, two
tables were ranged along the quarter-deck for the re-
mainder, when, among the 250, who partook of perhaps
the most elegant and sumptuous collation that was ever
served afloat, we may enumerate the following:—Earl

K C. 8., who boarded the Hindostan at Spithead in a gig,
having come out from Portsmouth in the Admiral's
ten&r.

After the usual loyal toasts had been drunk,
The CHAIRMAN coupled with the toast of " The Army
and Navy" " The Health cf Admiral Sir Charles
Napier."

tAre need Ecarcely say that the toast was enthusiasti-
cally received, and the reply of the gallant Admiral was
anxiously anticipated. _

Sir CHARLES, in acknowledging the compliment,
praiAd the qualities of the good ship Hindostan, and
said, should necessity call forth her services for the pur-
poses of war, she would, no doubt, be a most useful vessel
to bo brought into her Majesty's navy. He had not had
the opportunity of examining the Hindostan himself,
but taking it for granted that everything he had heard
of the capabilities of the ship was correct, he hoped he
should meet with many more so well adapted for the
purposes required; and looking to the steam navy of
Great Britain—he:meant her Majesty's navy—he dared to
say that many of our steamers were very much inferior as
war vessels to a great number built by the Peninsular
and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. He would
observe the example of the chairman, and make a short
, auuDtless, they were more anxious to look
at the Needles than to hear him (Sir. C. Napier)
talk.—(Cheers.)
The company in the saloon took the hint, and rose
with the gallant Admiral, and proceeded on deck to en-
joy the delightful scenery, which the Hindostan rapidly
passed as she proceeded on her course. In a very short
time, rendered still shorter by the attention which the
succession of new beauties of the island opening at every
moment absorbed, the well.known Needle rocks ap-
peared, and the Hindostan steamed up to abreast of
them, when, after affording every one on board ample
opportunity of marking the extent of these well-known
seamarks, the head of the good ship was again turned
towards Southampton, and as she steamed along the
chair was resumed in the saloon, and Mr. Matheson pro-
ceeded with the toasts.

The Hon. CHAIRMAN proposed " The Health of Count
Reyentlow and the Foreign Ambassadors at the Court
of St. James's, by whose liberal and enlightened minis-
trations the most amicable relations were established and
maintained."
His EXCELLENCY returned thanks.

The CHAIRMAN then gave " The House of Peers and
the Earl of Talbot"—a toast which needed no commen-
dation, for in reference to that august body one sentiment
had been fixed by all classes, "Thank God we have a
House of Lords."—(Cheers.)
Earl TALBOT, in reply, said, whatever difference in
opinion might arise, the House of Peers, he was quite
sure, would always deserve the credit of conscientiotbly
doing its duty towards the Sovereign and the country.
—(Cheers.) His Lordship then called on the assembly
to drink a bumper toast to "The Health and Prosperity

of the Chairman and Directors of the Peninsultir and

Oriental Company." The toast havini, been received
with loud acclamations, he said it would have been most
ungrateful if they had not dune justice to the most literal
and national company in existence, on board of whose
magnificent vessel they had that afternoon enjoyed so
splendid an entertainment.—(Cheers.)
The Hon. CHAIRMAN said he had been very recently
connected with the company, and therefure could, per-
haps, with more disinterestedness bear testimony to the
merits of those gentlemen who had the credit of raising
the company to the distinguished position it now occu-
pies. To obtain what they desired—the approbation
of such an assembly as the present and the appreciation
of the public at large—no directors of a company had
ever worked so hard or exerted themselves so much.—

. _
(Hear.) It was only just to the rnanaging directors to say
;.hat they had U) sineento in atts riding to thn interest.
a e JriC2lol, and it required no ortii,otty
• u::(1 work
the company so successfully as they had done.—(Loud
cheers.) He felt quite assured that without the inces-

sant exercise of those qualities conspicuously manifested
by the managing directors the company would have• not
, attained that proud position it now holds in the public
estimation.--(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN then said, as they had received equal
favour in the company of several members of the House
of Commons, the defenders and authors of the liberties
of our country, and the arena in which so many of its
members have learned to distinguish and qualify them-
selves for the Peerage, he begged to give as the next
toast, " The House of Commons," and to connect with
it the name or a gentleman who had acquired celebrity
not only in political circles, but in the fislds of literature
—" Mr. Monekton Milnes."—(Cheers )
• Mr. MILNES, in reply;taid, having once been on board
the St. Vincent, he haerlearnt to obey orders; and there-
fore, in the namo of the House of Commons, be had
great pleasure in returning thanks for the honour done
to that branch of the Legislature. He was sure that
the debate that had taken place that day would he most
advantageous to the country—(Laughter)—whilst the
division that would take place that night would cause
very great regret to many (Great laughter) but,
he was quite certain they would all retire with the
greatest respect for their excellent chairman.—(Loud
cheers.) In the saloon of that ship there had pro-
bably been more exciting scenes than they had wit-
nessed. Only think of all the gay " griffins" and all the
expectant brides that had gone out to India in her—
(Laughter)—only think of the successful stathmen and
hest India directors (like his friend on the right), and
the few disappointed and liverless men that had come
back in her.—(Laughter.) They had heard of walls
that could speak, bat if those cabins could relate the
tales of their late masters, they would probably listen to
them with more interest, than to any speaker they bad
' heard that day.--(Laugater.) He was delighted te see
in that vast and wonderful specimen of the pride of
England, that which distinguished her beyond all other
nations—a vessel not created by any public bidding or
royal summons, but by the instinctive genius and energy
of Englishmen.—(Cheers.) This it was that preserved
our beloved country amidst the tumults of the world—
(Loud cheers)—and from the fear and dread of inva•
sion, notwithstanding the unhappy prognostications we
sometimes hear—(Continuous cheers)—and which he
was sure needed only to be mentioned to receive a most
emphatic denial—(Loud cheers)—and which, perhaps,
he would not have alluded to had he not, in coming
down, perused an ar icle taken from a French news-
paper, on the state of the French and English navies, in
which it was lamented that there was not in the Na-
tional Assembly such a patriotic representative as Admiral
Napier, to show in what a miserable state the French
navy was, and how utterly incompetent to stand against
the steam force of England.—(Cheers.) He found in
the Hindostan a confirmation of that statement, and it
was gratifying to know that we could create as many
more like her as might be required. He, therefore, in
this pleasant excursion recognized not only the means of
enjoyment, but also the pow r of England.
Lord TennoT then proposed "The health of the Right
Hon. the Lord Mayor," who formerly had the honour to
belong to the same profession as his Lordship. After
eulogising the Lord Mivor for his princely hospitality to
all parties, he took occasion to remark that he fully
concurred• in the just tribute that had been paid to pri-
vate enterprise, so characteristic of Englishmen, and it
was most gratifying to him, as an officer of the navy, to
see so magnificent a vessel as the Hindostan available in
o ase of need for the purposes of war. Let us hope, con-
cluded his Lordship, that this vessel may continue to
raise our character as she has hitherto done in her useful
employment of disseminating the at is of peace; but, at
the same time, let us feel confident that she is competent
to maintain the honour of our flag whenever it may be
assailed.—(Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR, in returning thanks, said he
should be most ungrateful if he did not say a few words;
and, with reference to his hospitality, he could assure
them he had done no more than justice to the position
in which ho had been placed by his fellow.citizens. He

hoped he had done so irrespective of party, and that he
had succeeded in his endeavours to bring around the
citizens of London, as in ancient times, the high, noble,
and wealthy of the land.—(Cheers.) As an old sailor,
he felt at home in his native element, and it was no small
pleasure to him to find that the city of London numbers
among its community so noble and independent a body
of men as the Peninsular and Oriental Company, and to
see that his fellow-citizens took so great an interest in
the mercantile glory of England.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The East India Com-
pany and Sir James NV. Hogg."
Sir J. W. Hocio acknowledged the toast.
Mr. ANDERSON next gave " The health of Abbas
Pasha, the present ruler of Egypt," and alluded to the
great liberality the company had experienced at the
hands of Mehemet Ali and Ibrahim Pasha in connecting
the links of coalmuLication botween England and India.
Mr. PAsquAra, as agent for his Highness and the
Egyptian Government, returned thanks, and said he
should feel it a pleasing duty communicate to his High-
ness the distinguished honour that had been paid to him
on the present occasion.

Sir. C. NAPIER then said the company had been
honoured with the presence of Hafiz Bey, the COEUMO
dure of the Egyptian frigate, Sharkie, a ship that had
been navigated from Alexandria to have her screw steam
machinery fitted by Miller and Ravenbin. It must be
gratifying to every one present, and the public at large,
that ships from all parts of the world came here to be
perfected as steam men-of-war.—(Cheers.) He well
knew the exertions of Mehemet Ali, when in sound
health, to get up an Egyptian navy. He had been on
board a great manyot his ships, and it was extraordinary
to see what one man had done in the course of thirty or
forty years ; he had produced no less than fourteen or
fifteen ships, and he was not the less astonished, as a
British officer, to see how well the Arabs went through
their exercises. Whether they kept their fleet up now,
or whether it was to the advantage of this country that
they did so, he did not know, but the ship they had sent
to this country was a wonderful production for them.
An Hon. Friend of his—(Laughter)—in returning thanks
for the House of Commons—(Laughter)—had made a
epeech and had alluded to him in it.—(Laughter.)
Nothing could have been more in bad taste than that
speech in such a company as the present—(Laughter)—
a speech much better adapted for the House of Commons
than for a convivial and pleaFure party for the Needles.
—(Laughter.) It was not his intention to reply to that
speech, and the Hon. Gentleman might take for answer
his letter to a " Mr. Scott Portland."—(Laughter.) lle
begged to propose "The Health of Commodore Hafiz
Bey."—(Cheers.)
Mr. PASQUALI, as interpreter for Hafiz Bey, ex-
pressed the grateful thanks of the Commodore for the
honour conferred upon him by so distinguished an officer
as the British Admiral, and, in return, begged to pro-
pose " The Ladies of England."—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN then gave, " The health of Mr. Chap-
lin and the directors of the South-Western Railway,"
whose gratuitous contribution to their enjoyment that
day in placing at their disposal the special train, merited
the thanks of all present, and the special acknowledg•
ments of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, whose
interests they were always ready to promote.—(Cheers.)
Mr. CHAPLIN responded in hearty terms to the well
deserved compliment paid to the railway directors.
" The health of the Mayor and Corporation of
Southampton" followed, which being duly honoured,
a special toast was devoted to " The healil of the
Chairman."

By this time (half past seven o'clock) the Hindostan
had entered the dock amidst the loud cheers of hundreds
of spectators, who had congregated there awaiting her
return. A few minutes, notice was given for the special
train, and in a couple of hours as agreeable a party as
ever enjoyed an aquatic excursion were again in London,
wish pleasing recollections of the Peninsular and
Oriental Company and their magnificent _ hip the
Hindostan.

THE AGAPEMONE.—In connexion with this con.
cern, we observe, at the last Bridgewater country court,
a case that further illustrates the habits of the fraternity.
It was this:—lsaac Thomas v. Thomas Starkey, Lewis
Price, and Thomas Williams. An action for 201. Mr.
James Trevor appeared on behalf of the plaintiff, and
Mr. Rouse on behalf of the defendants. Mr. Trevor, in
opening the case, said the defendants had been bred
clergymen of the Church of England. Notwithstand-
ing they did not follow that profession, but lived at a
place at Charlinch, which they called the " Agapemone"'
or the " Abode of Love." The premises occupied by
the defendants adjoin the turnpike road, and the plaintiff,
who was a labourer, residing at Spaxton, on passing
their premises, and bearing a noise inside, got upon the
hedge upon the other side of the road, which was high
enough tor him to see what was going. on. Plaintiff
there saw forty men and women playing at " hockey;"
upon their seeing the plaintiff about twenty of them
rushed out in the road with their bandies in their hands,
fell upon him and thrashed him within an inch of his
life. The judge gave a verdict for plaintiff with eleven
guineas as compensation.— Western Times.
OLYMPIC Til EITEE.—CEREMONIAL OF LAYING
THE FOUNDATION STONE.--On Saturday the ceremony
of laying the first stone of the new dramatic temple, in
Wych.street, was performed before a large number of
persons invited, including the proprietor, Mr. Cavill, the
architect, and many others associated with music, thea-
tricals, and the fine arts. Mr. J. Cavill, son of the pro-
prietor, addressed the assembly, and gave a history of
the theatre, from its being the residence of the Earl of
Craven in the reign of Charles II , through the various
phases of the eccentric equestrian, John P. Astley,
Robert Elliston, Madame Vestris, George Wild, Bolton,
and Spicer. Miss Men Cavill performed the usual cere-
menials with the silver trowel, and various toasts were
drunk, after which the party retired. Mr. Spicer, the
late lessee, has resigned all intention of continuing the
direction of too theatre. Amongst the candidates who
proposed themselves as tenants is Mr. Conquest, the
lessee of the late Garrick Theatre, which was burnt down
some years since.

THE BRIG CHARLES BARTLETT, OF LON.
DON, RUN DOWN—ONE HUNDRED AND
THIRTY LIVES LOST.
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.
The North American mail steamer Europa, Cap-
tain Lott, arrived in the Mersey this morning, with
advices from Boston to the 20th, and Halifax to the
22d ult.

She made the run throughout in 10:3- days.
The Cambria arrived at New York on the 15th,

York for Southampton on the 20th.
We regret to record a serious collision between the
Europa, on her homeward voyage, and the brig

We have received the following dotails
:
CAPTAIN WILLIAM BARTLETT'S STATEMENT OF THE
LOSS OF THE AMERICAN BARQUE CHARLES BARTLETT,
BY BEING RUN INTO, ON THE 27TH JUNE, IN LAT.
50 49, LON. 29 30, BY THE STEAMER EUROPA, CAPTAIN
LOTT.
The Charles Bartlett was a first-rate ship of 400 tons
register. She left the Downs, from London, bound to
New York, on the 14th June, with a general heavy
cargo, of about 450 tons weight, and 162 passengers in
the steerage, one cabin passenger, and fourteen souls of
the crew. Had fine weather, with light easterly winds,
up to the 19th. From that time to the 27th had S. V,
and W. winds, and foggy weather. At noon it cleared
up a little. Observed the let. 50 48 N., and estimated
the long. at 29 W. ; all well on board, and everything
looking prosperous. Soon after noon a dense fog set in,
wind W. by S., ship heading to the N.W., close hauled,
all sail set. At three o'clock ordered a good look-out
fr.,tn the topgallant forecastle ; also directed the man at
the wheel to look sharp to windward. At 330 P.M.
being on the weather side of the poop deck, heard a
rumbling to windward like distant thunder ; turned my
ear windward and my eye to the horizon. The man at
the wheel noticing that I was listening, looked to wind-
ward, and cried out, "Sail, ho." lat once saw what I
supposed was a ship about one point forward of our
beam, about 400 yards distant. I ordered the helm
up, thinking if she did not discover us that we should
have time to clear her before she come into con-
tact. All hands shouted at the same time to
alarm the ship, and I ordered the bell to be rung,
and called to the ship to " port her helm," as I saw
that was the only chance of escape. There were nearly
one hundred passengers on the d, ck at the time. All
was of no use, for in one minute from the time we saw
the ship she was upon us, going at the rate of twelve
knots, striking us abreast of the after main shrouds.
The crash and the terrible scene that ensued I am not
adequate to describe. I was knocked to leeward with
the man at the wheel. I recovered myself in a moment,
shouting for every person to cling to the steamer as
their only hope; I caught hold of a broken chain on
the bow, and hauled myself up, shouting at the same
time to the crew and passengers to follow. I had barely
time to get on the steamer's bow, and while getting up,
I noticed that her bow was into the ship within a foot of
the after hatch, and that she was stove clear to the lee
side, and that full twenty feet of her side was stove in.
There must have been nearly fifty persons killed by the
collision, and every exertion was made by Captain Lott,
his officers, and crew, and the passengers on board the
steamer. The boats were lowered as soon as possible.
Unfortunately only about ten were saved by the boats,
the balance, making thirty-three (more or less), saved
themselves by hanging to the bow. The steamer lay by
!he scene as long as there was any hope of saving any.
Of the crew, Mr. Thomas Parker, of Charleston, S.C.,
aged twenty-two; George Parsons, of Portland, Maine,
:aged eighteon; and William Rich, of Gravesend, Dig-
land, aged twenty-five, were lost. A list of the passen-
gers and crew saved will be found in the public prints.
We were most hospitably entertained by the captain,
officers, and passengers of the steamer.
I will notice that all due exertion was used by Cap-
tain Lott, and officers and crew of the Europa, as well as
all the passengers. I particularly observed one passen-
ger usin.; the most noble exertions. I saw him let him-
self overboard, and clench a man in his arms, and, find-
ing him dead, let him go. I next saw him on the bow
of a boat, hauling a man from under water with a boat-
hook, who was afterwards restored to life on board. I
afterwards found that person to be Captain 11.8. Forbes,
of Boston. I cannot express myself as I feel for the
noble and generous conduct of all on board in contribut-
ing to the wants of the surviving sufferers, and for the
sympathy felt by all, particularly by the ladies.
Yours, with gratitude, WILLIAM BARTLETT.

Business was dull. It was reported that the
board of naval officers to whom the Secretary of
the Navy referred the proposition of fitting out an
expedition in search of Sir John Franklin have re-
ported against the feasibility of the enterprise on
various grounds—because the season is too far ad-
vanced to reach the west coast of the continent in
tinge to prosecute the search according to the
projected plan, and because the Government owns
no vessels adapted to this peculiar description of
service.
