MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TIVELV.E O'CLOCK.
The following intelligence appears in the Jersey
Chronicle and British Press, received this morning at
the North and South American Coffee-house :

Every preparation is making to place the fortifica-
tions in this island in a complete state of defence. The
guns are being mounted on Fort Regent, and orders
have been issued to mount guns on all the towers re-
cently erected round the coast. There are at Fort
Regent a battery of 24 pieces of artillery, which it is
intended to add to those already in use by the Royal
Jersey Militia. It is also stated that, in the event of
war, a brigade composed of 24 pieces of artillery of the
same calibre would be sent from England. A regiment
of the live is expected shortly from England to relieve
the depot garrisoned here.

We understand that the 11th Regiment of the line
is shortly to be garrisoned in this islan‘l, in which case
the 45th depot will be quartered at St. Peter's barracks.

CAMBRIDGE.—The addition of 101. per cent.
o the assessed taxes and the new survey ordered by Go.
vsrnment, have rendered an obstructive policy very preva-
lent in this neighbourhood. An eminent glazier (once a
corporate dignitary of high rank) has carried his principles
into practice by stopping up a portion of his windows
which overlooked that lively and bustling street, the Petty
Cury, thus confining his prospects, in a great n,easure, to
that sad and sombre scene, St. Andrew's Church-yard.
The skill displayed in the work of obstruction is of the
highest order, and is worthy the imitation of Stanley,
Graham, Sibthorp, and Sir Alexander Grant.—Cata.

POPERY IN ALLIANCE WITH THE STATE.--
I was anxious to sound, if possible, spite of the plover-
hial casuistry and caution of their (the Jesuits) order,
their real sentiments regarding the recovery of ecclesiasti-
cal power. When, therefore, conversation had assumed a
confidential and even merry tone, I alluded to the genet al
belief of their hope of the recovery of ecclesiastical power
in this country, and asked, " Is not this an object that,
as sincere lovers of your own Church, you must ardently
desire?" In a moment, and with an enthusiasm that
could not be mistaken, one of them replied, " No, never
To desire the political establishment of Catholicism would
be to desire its destruction ! I hope never to see that
day—it would be a fatal day to us." " Yes," I rejoined,
" this I know is the common language of English Catho.
lies; but how is it thvt it does not azrce with the practice
of Catholics, tahen the opportunity is afforded them ?
On the continent we see the Catholicr as ready as ev, r to'
ally themselves with the State." " That," replied Mr.
Daniels, "is the very reason that makes me dread a
union with the'. State here. I kr ow human nature—l
know how prone it is to grasp at power and honour; but
I know too that the union with the State was the destrues
tion of the Church of Rome in this country in the loth
century, and it is destraying the Chur©h of England now,
and will destroy it. Sir, we have road history as well as
the Protestants, and we know, as mill as we know any
thing, that an Establishment is the most fatal curse that
can befal any Church. We know tout it infuses a Letheati
lethargy; it destwys the titalit) of zeal ; it breaks up
the living interest bet cot, a p
pct
and his people. That
is the notorious and neeossary result of an Esablishrhe
that has been, and is, and must be,
the orpaleal tetickny
of such an experiment, and, therefore, whatever may bc e
p
the desire of others, mine is, that Catholicism may.neye.r
be established by law in these kingdoms."—llowite.s Visit
