" Alike to him the sea—the shore,
The brand, the bridle, and the oar."
Ten thousand such men would be worth fifty thou-
sand raw militiamen. They could be employed as
soldiers on our coasts, as seamen in our dockyards,
and as Marine Artillerymen on board our ships.
By their knowledge they could instruct more, and by
their experience set a good example to all.
The application of steam has vastly increased our
naval power—in fact, steam dispenses with half the
number of seamen usually required in sailing ships.
Hence the necessity ( f more practical knowledge
with fewer men. Steam works the ship while
science works the guns.

Suppose a body of 10,000 Marine Artillery were
organized and distributed along the coast according
to circumstances, or sent on board ship to acquire
their sea-legs ; and suppose a war suddenly broke out,
some difficulty might occur, in fact always does
occur, in fitting men of war in sufficient number for
the emergency ; but a fleet of steamers could be
armed and equipped in a few hours by means of the
Marine Artillery. It is now well ascertained that
the majority of our merchant and mail steamers are
capable of carrying a number of guns. These yes-
sels have a sufficiency of men for navigable purposes,
while the Marine Artillery would supply both men
and guns at the shortest notice. We should thus
have a fleet in the Channel ready for defence or
aggression almost with the next tide.

In the event of war the same principle would apply
on foreign stations; the Marine Artillery could be
transhipped from men-of-war to our merchant steamers
in those quarters, and thus protect our property,
IN bile they increased our power.
As a matter of economy, such a force would cost
little more than ordinary men, while its efficiency
would be infinitely greater. It would constitute a
marine army of reserve, always in employ, and ever
ready for action.
Such men, from their better and more varied train-
ing, would acquire a confidence unknown to less disci-
plined sailors ; they would dare dangers where others
might hesitate, as an expert swimmer would brave the
breakers where inexperience might shun the spray.
The practical value of such men is incalculable—
they would form a nucleus which could be enlarged
arteadpleasure. Their motto would be—" Ready, aye
and come the hour of invasion when it
might, their gallant example would inspire others
with courage till the ardour of enterprise became

A Liberal Legislature, like the one now sitting at
Westminster, could not, with any
icionsistency, do
otherwise than it did last evening. Knowing that a
Bill was recently introduced to theUppneorwiHug houtseabt a
by
tlw President of the Council, and itthat is now
lying under the consideration of the Lords Spiritual
and Temporal, which Bill is intended to legalise the
project of the Government for the establishment of
friendly relations between the Courts of St.
James's and the Quirinal, it was manifest that the
supporters of the Administration could not possibly
regard with indifference, much less with any senti-
ments approaching to those of opposition, the fate of
the measure brought before the House of Commons
by the Honourable Representative of Youghal. By
this time the character of the Sovereign Pox-
TIFF is pretty well known, and we believe, too,
with a very few, exceptions, tolerably well
appreciated. Englishmen recognise in him not

merely a right royal spirit such as that recently
evinced by FREDERICK WILHELM of Prussia, and by
CARLO ALBERTO of Piedmont—a spirit which
prompts him, as sovereign of some millions of the
human race, to afford happiness to his subjects by
certain judicious and beneficent innovations; buts
combined with this nobility of heart and capacity of
intelligence, the POPE has on several occasions exhi-
bited a determinaticn and a boldness such as were
alone compatible with a supreme respect for
the authority entrusted to his keeping as an
independent potentate, and as the head of
a great religion. When, for example, the
Austrian forces made their unjustifiable aggression
upon his dominions, Pius IX. demanded in peremp-
tory terms the instant withdrawal of the troops of the
KAISER, as well as an immediate and adequate com-
pensation for this very flagrant violation of his
neutrality. When, in like manner, the Cabinet of
Vienna suggested the transmission of an army from
beyond the Carpathian Alps to the succour of the
monarch of the Two Sicilies, it cannot be altogether
forgotten that the PONTIFF at once announced his
determination to allow no such Austrian armament
to pass through the territories of the Church. A
resolution quite as dignified and decisive was likewise
pronounced by his HOLINESS in reference to the
exchange of ambassadors between Rome and Lon-
don. Never, said Pius, shall a Papal Nuncio be
accredited to England while those cruel and inhuman
laws are preserved upon the statute-book of that
country, subjecting the ecclesiastics of the Roman
Catholic faith to the penalties of confiscation, trans-
portation, and imprisonment, and declaring the per-
formance of the rites of the Roman Catholic religion
to be felonies worthy of the most rigorous punish-
ment. Can any rational man feel astonished at such
a resolution as this, coming as it does from one who
is not only the Sovereign of the States of the Church,
but who is regarded by the Roman Catholics of this
country, and of the whole world, as being in his
capacity, as Bishop of Rome, the visible Vicegerent
of GOD upon earth ? The obstacle to the establish-
ment of friendly relations between St. James's and
the Quirinal is manifestly insurmountable; and it
would not be only a flippant provocation and an useless
squandering of time to propose to the Government of
Rome the acceptance of our Ambassador, and the
nomination of a Papal Nuncio to London, at the
very time when the Parliament of the United King-
dom determines upon the retention of the penal
enactments against Catholicism. Under all circum-
stances, therefore, it has become necessary, both upon
considerations of religious principle and political
expediency, to carry the measure introduced by Mr.
CLIISHOLM ANSTEY through Committee, and to de-
clare through the three branches of the Legislature
the formal abrogation of the penal enactments.
A majority of thirty-two, in a House of 345
Members, rejected the amendment made last
night by Mr. LAW, that the Roman Catholic Relief
Bill should be committed that day six months. Ac-
cording to the curt phraesology of Parliament, " the
House then went into Committee pro forma : the Chair-
man reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again
that day three weeks." So far the measure has pro-
gressed steadily, and we think there can be no
longer any doubt that these vestiges of ancient into-
lerance, these laws (as the Member for Dungarvan
happily expressed it) "by which the impuissance of
fanaticism is made manifest," will, before the close of
the present session, be expunged and forgotten. As ex-
plaining in a very felicitous manner the uselessness of
these laws, and the utter impossibility of their enforce-
ment, the following passages from the eloquent speech
delivered yesterday evening by Mr. SHELL deserve a
separate consideration. After alluding to the per
factly harmless position of the Franciscans, the
Dominicans, the Carmelites, and the Augustines, the
Honourable and Learned Gentleman came to the
Jesuits. " The Jesuits !" he exclaimed, with
all the fervour of a MONTALEMBERT. " The
Jesuits ! Oh, the Jesuits ! By the very ut-
terance of the word the phantoms of Father
PAYSONS, and Father GARNETT, and Father PETER
are evoked. Now the case I make with regard to
the Jesuits is this—l won't endeavour to overcome
your prejudices ; I won't tell you that 3sou are in-
fluenced by a vague, an indefinite and iri%tional pre-
judice; I won't tell you that the enemies of the
Jesuits were the enemies of Christianity, and that
the conspirators against religion conceived that for
the achievement of their purpose the suppression of
the Jesuits was required; I won't tell you that your
own missionaries will bear no comparison with the
followers of LOYOLA, and that the Jesuit in the wil-
derness, lifting up the cross, his only possession in
this world, to the eyes of the red men, who stood awed
and humanised before him, offered a far nobler spec-
tacle than the New Zealand emissaries of Protes-
tantism, by whom, with a lucrative piety, the tasks
of conversion and the enjoyments of appropriation
are combined. I will not tell you this. But I will
tell you that the enactments against the Jesuits are
utterly incapable of enforcement; that they are
worse than worthless ; and as a security to Protes-
tanism in every regard, more than without avail. In
England and in Ireland there are plenty of Jesuits ;
the country is full of them. There is a great Jesuit
college in the north of England ; there is another in
the vicinity of Dublin ; the Jesuits are building a
third in this great metropolis; yet the Attorney
General, if he were to institute a prosecution roundel
on the statute of 1829, would be driven with shouts
of derison out of court. Suppose that my Hon.
Friend were to prosecute Father LvTIIGOE, I should
take care to attend the Queen's Bench if it were but
to mark the smile of polished disdain with which that
eminent ecclesiastic would hear the speech of my
lion. and Learned Friend." Upon the considera-
tion, ,therefore, that these monstrous laws are
of not the smallest utility whatever to the Pro-
testant, and that they are a hideous outrage to
the feelings of the Roman Catholic, the majority in
the House of Commons last night pronounced their
opinion in favour of the committal of the Bill; and
thus prepared the way fur the arrival of a Nuncio
from the Quirinal.

The trial at bar, in the important case of BURON v.
DENMAN, which has occupied the attention of the
Court of Exchequer, affords the strongest illustration
of the profound respect for the law, and the deep
sense of justice that exists in the heart of every
British citizen. Probably in no other country in the
world could a similar instance be shown of a trial
carried on with such calm impartiality, such even-
handed justice—where all the national feelings were so
deeply enlisted on behalf of the. sacred cause in
which the defendant was engaged, and in abhorrence
of the unholy traffic in which the plaintiff avowedly
had been occupied. For more than half a century
England has carried on a crusade against slavery in
every part of the globe. She has spared neither her
treasures, nor the lives of her gallant soldiers and
sailors, in advancing the great object of banishing
the abomination from the face of the earth. Others
might regard her philanthropic labours as savouring
of Quixotism, and sneer at the feelings which induced
her to sacrifice the advantages that might be derived
from the trade, and the blood and wealth which she
has poured forth with so lavish a hand in her disin-
terested exertions for its suppression, but no English-
man ever regretted what had been done, or hesitated
to redouble the national efforts, if the good cause
could thereby be advanced or promoted. Twenty
millions of pounds sterling were freely granted by
the British Legislature in a single vote for this pur-
pose. What national monuments might have been
erected for such a sum! What extraordinary advan-
tages might have been derived from its expenditure
in a variety of ways ! What taxation bearing on the
comforts and the happiness of large classes of our
fellow-citizens might have been remitted by the ap-
plication of that sum, and the average annual expen-
diture of 1,200,0001. sterling which has since taken
place ! The waste lands of Ireland might have
been reclaimed, and three or four millions of
acres now lying barren and unproductive,
converted into smiling homesteads, the abodes
of thousands of happy and contented families, and
a considerable surplus would have remained for
other purposes, or new colonies might have
been founded, and powerful nations created. But
the British people never repined or murmured
at the outlay when thoroughly satisfied that
the principles of immutable justice forbade that
man should hold his fellow-man in bondage, or be
permitted ,to retain a property in human beings
they devoted all their energies to advance the glorious

doctrine, to become the benefactors and liberators of
the helpless and oppressed in all climes. For this
they incurred the risk of war, for this they conceded
privileges to.. other nations, and when they might
have stipulated for great advantages for themselves,
they waived every national benefit in order to induce
other states to sanction and tolerate their efforts for
the extinction of slavery.
After such acts it is hardly necessary to say that
prejudices must have existed in the minds of the
Learned Judges who presided, and the jury who
were empanelled to try a case involving so deeply
the principle for which we had laboured with such
zeal and energy. A verdict for the plaintiff must
have had the most injurious consequences, and given
a fresh impulse to the hideous trade which the ex-
penditure of millions would have been inadequate to
counteract. What naval officer, in the face of such
a judgment, could have ventured to act with that
decision and determination that is so essential to
succes ? Half of that which has already been at-
tained would be undone, and we should again behold
slave factories erected in convenient situations along
the coast, and manacled dares awaiting the hour when
they should be consigned to the dark and crowded
holds of the slave-ships for their perilous voyage
to the markets in which they were to be ex-
posed for sale; and yet, notwithstanding all
these circumstances, and although the case of
the plaintiff was based on the assumption put
forward by his talented advocate, " that he had
as much right to deal with black men as he had a right
to deal with black cattle," it cannot be asserted that as
much even-handed and unbiassed justice was not ex-
hibited as if a matter of the
.utmost indifference was
involved in the issue.

The facts of the case and the real questions were
included in a very narrow compass. The defendant,
the Hon. JOSEPH DENMAN, was stationed, in 1840,
off the Gallinas, in command of the Wanderer sloop
of-war; he was the senior naval officer on the station,
and would, of course, have to conduct any proceed-
ings that might be considered expedient or necessary.
In the latter end of that year he received a commu-
nication from the then Governor of Sierra Leone to the
effect that a free woman and her child, inhabitants
of that colony, were unjustly detained in
custody by a son of the-sovereign, King SIACCA ; and
he was directed to forward a letter to the King, and
to use his best exertions for the rest oration to liberty of
the persons thus unjustly detained; and, if it should be
impossible to effect that object without resorting to Force,
to do so, as far as might be necessary and the rules
of the service might admit. On an island in the
mouth of the Gallinas the plaintiff had established
factories, or storehouses, where the traffic in slaves
was actively carried forward, and a variety of goods
were there contained suitable for the trade in which
he had embarked ; and it was said that a determina-
tion had been expressed to prevent any communica-
tion from taking place between the war cruisiers
and the native chiefs, and also to hinder the
latter from affording any assistance to the
former when in distress. Captain DENMAN felt that
there was a necessity for decided action in the dis-
charge of his duty. He saw that it would be ne-
cessary to take a force sufficient to bear down all
opposition, and to repel any attacks that might be
made. He accordingly entered the. river in com-
mand of the boats belonging to the squadron. The
Spaniards fled from the factories, having first driven
the slaves into the bush, but quantities of guns, mus
'sets, powder, &c., were found there. These were
destroyed, for it would be dangerous to permit such
weapons to remain in the hands of persons such
as those who are generally engaged in the traffic. A
communication was opened with the native chiefs, and
the result was a treaty by which, amongst other
things, the King SIACCA engaged to destroy the fac-
tories, to give up the slaves, to send the dealers out of
his country within a limited time, and never again to
permit white men to settle there for the purpose of
slave• dealing. 900 slaves were given up in pursuance
of this treaty, the factories, &c., were destroyed, and
the goods that were therein were taken possession
of by King SIACCA and the native chiefs. For the
damage thereby occasioned to the plaintiff the action
was brought against Captain DENMAN, the commander
on the occasion; and although several issues were
raised in the pleadings, the really important questions
were, whether his acts had been fuliy adopted and
sanctioned by the British Government, for if so he
could not be held personally responsible, and the
demand should be made against the Government
itself; and, secondly, whether King SIACCA and the
other chiefs had authority to make, and did make, a
law authorising Captain DENMAN to take and destroy
such goods as he did afterwards destroy, and that
he did take and destroy them in pursuance of such
law. A verdict having been found on the first point for the
defendant, the Attorney • General withdrew the second
question from the jury. The Government being now
admittedly responsible for what has taken place, we
congratulate the public generally on the result of this
important trial, and we congratulate Captain DEN-
MAN on being freed from the annoyance to which he
was exposed for conduct which had deservedly ob-
tained for him promotion in his profession, the appro-
bation of Parliament, and a pecuniary gi ant of
4,0001., as a testimony of the high sense entertained
of his services.

A letter from Venice appears in the Risorgimento
of the 1 Ith inst., in which the writer states, that on the
preceding evening a splendid demonstration was
made by the Venetiar.s ita honour of the granting of
a liberal constitution to Naples. The demonstration
to(le place in the theatre of the renice.
Count PIETRO DEGLI EMILIJ, lately arrested at

In the St. Pctersburgh Journal of the sth inst. is
an announcement that Baron DE KRUDENER, the
Russian Ambassador to the Helvetic Confederation,
bad received instructions to communicate to the
Supreme Diet a note from the Russian Government
expressing its concurrence in the principles of public
law developed in the declaration addressed to Swit-
zerland, on the 18th of January, by the Courts of
Austria, France, and Prussia. Russia, considering
the last events in Switzerland as a violation of the
cantonal sovereignty, does not consequently feel itself
bound, at present, to defend the neutrality of that
country against measures which any of the neigh-
bouring states might think proper to adopt in its own
interest.

The news received from Upper and Central Italy
is satisfactory.

Pius IX. is said to have offered his mediation be-
twein Sicily and Naples.
LEoroLD of Tuscany evinces every disposition to
follow the course recently pursued by the King of
SARDINIA. In reference to granting a constitution to
his people, the GRAND DUKE lately declared to the
Civic Guard of Florence that he merely awaited the
result of certain communications with Rome and
Turin. It was not known at the time that CHARLES
ALBERT had actually bestowed the representative
system of legislation upon his people. Immediately
that intelligence is received at Florence there is little
doubt that Tuscany will obtain a similar constitution
from its generous and enlightened ruler.
From the Official Gazette of Rome, of the 3d, it
would appear that Cardinal BUFFONDI, the new
President of the Council of Ministers, had attended a
council on the Ist, at which council the POPE himself
presided in persob.
Great rejoicings had taken place both at Turin and
Genoa in celebration of the patriotic beneficence of
King CARLO ALBERTO.
The Reform of Lucca announces that Austrian
troops are going to occupy Massa and Carrara im-
mediately ; 2,000 beds have been prepared at the
former place, and 1,000 at the latter.
The Patria of Florence announces that military
preparations are in active operation. Reinforcements
of cavalry are concentrating at Leghorn, Pisa, and
Florence. The various other garrisons are to be

Later news from Munich has arrived.

The flight of LOLA. MONTES is described as having
been so precipitate, that she had not a moment to look
to her interests. Her house was sacked by the
students, and the KING was compelled to yield before

the attitude assumed by his people. At the last mo•
ment his MAJESTY consented to the expulsion of
the too famous courtezan from his canital—"a con-
cession," as our correspondent observe, " which
possibly saved his throne."

Madrid papers to the 10th have been received.
They mention a rumoured probability of a modi-
fication in the Cabinet, by the retirement of M.
BE TRAM DE LYS from the Ministry of Finance, and
the substitution, in his place, of M. CARRASCO, the
Count de Santa Olalla.

The Duke of VICTORY had arrived at Logrono,
and was welcomed there with the utmost enthusiasm.

The Camor Pubtico says—

" The Moutmolinist bands continue to invade the

The Paris papers of yesterday have duly arrived.
They are still full of the critical position of affairs
in that capital. The utmost excitement continues to
prevail respecting the intended banquet, which will,
under all circumstances, be held in defiance of the
Government. As no building of sufficiently large
dimensions could be secured for the occasion, a tem-
porary structure is being raised in the Champs
Elysees. It is expected to be ready by Sunday.
Of the Committee of 20 appointed to present the
Address of the Chamber to the KING only 12
attended.

Respecting the recent acts of the Ministry, the
Constitutionnel says-
" The success of the cause of Parliamentary reform
is secured ; let the Opposition persist with energy
and courage; it reaches the object of its constant
efforts. We have no longer before us anything but
a vanquished Ministry, its principal organ having,
yesterday, solemnly announced its perfect defeat.
And yet, what resistance, what anger, what
disdain did it not express towards us some months
since. M. Guizat judged the measure bud at
bottom, and opposed it on principle. Reforms,
cried he with irony ; there are some wise, useful,
and excellent ones; you shall be overvvheltned with
them ; you shall have penitentiary reform; reform in
secondary instruction, and in slave regulations ; but
there are also some which are senseless, dangerous,
and unjust; these are political reforms, electoral and
Parliamentary reforms, and those, you shall not have.
While the actual President of the Council dogmatised
even against the principle of reforms, the Minister of
the Interior affirmed that the country was quite in-
different to this theme of the Opposition. The Journal
des Debats blamed, as a caprice, those Conservative
Deputies who even consented to sanction the reading
in the bureaux, and the discussion in the Chamber, of
any proposition for reform."
At the banquet on Sunday no fewer than 600
guests are expected.
From accounts just received at Paris it seems that
Lord MIN TO reached Naples on the 4th.

LATEST NEWS FROM SICILY.
PALERMO, FEB. 5.

The evacuation of Palermo by the Neapolitan
troops looked more like a flight than a retreat. The
evacuation was, in fact, hurried on so hastily that no
less than three thousand poor soldiers bare been
abandoned in the open country, without provisions
and without ammunition. The main body of the
troops embarked at Solente for Naples three days
after. It was only on the castle that the banner of the
King of Naples fluttered. You are, perhaps, not
aware of the attitude taken by the English, an attitude
in apppearance of neutrality, but which, however, has
m:tde them the arbiters of the struggle, and the re-
sult of which has been, that yesterday, at the moment
when the fire was the most tremendous, when castle,
town, and forts were covered with clouds of smoke,
two cannon shots fired from the Vengeance have
immediately put a stop to the fight, and the presence
of the Commodore on the shore, and a few words he
has uttered, have like a spell decided everything. A
few hours afterwards the castle, this bulwark of the
power of Ferdinand, capitulated and surrendered.
The interests of England in Sicily are immense
its influence irresistible. I will give you proof of
it. On the nit ruing of the 3d instant a Neapolitan
frigate brought us the constitution granted by King
Ferdinand, the Palermitans refused it, and continued
their preparations against the castle. On the 4th
instant, at noon, the cannonade began. At a quarter
past four o'clock the English steamer fired two cannon-
shots, raised the English flag, and disposed for a
round. The firing ceased on both sides immediately.
The Commodore landed. This morning at five o'clock
the town knew that the castle had capitulated.
The conduct of the people has been superior to all
praise. I can bear witness to the number of actions
of courage and generosity, which impart the
greatest honour to the Sicilian character.
