PAPAL AGGRESSION.: QUEEIV'S SPEECI4

The Queen is said to have been highly dissatisfied
with the paragraph of the Speech, as drawn up by Mi-
nisters. relative to the Papal aggression. Her Majesty
considered it lukewarm, and framed in such ambiguous
terms as might be employed to shuffle through a diffi-
culty instead of expressing the honest feelings of a So-
vereign and a Government insulted in dignity and in au-
thority. Her Majesty, in common with the great ma-
jority of her subjects, feels very strongly on the point ;
and it is one on which the Sovereign may be considered,
and must be allowed, to entertain a strong personal
opinion.
Independent indeed of the popular or religious ques-
tion altogether, no greater insult could be well offered
by one sovereign to another than the dispatch of a per-
sonage of the highest dignity to go and exercise authority
in the dominions of another, dominions parcelled out by
a kind of public crier for the purpose. And when it is
conceded that the foreign sovereign who did this was
himself, his authority, and his capital, in the hands and
the keeping of other great powers, especially those of
France and Austria--the soldiers of one garrisoning
Rome, the emmissaries of the other monopolising the
Papal council—all this considered, a more flagrant out-
rage on national independence and a sovereign's dignity
was, perhaps, never committed.
We cannot admit for a moment that such monstrous
insolence as this is to be passed over or slighted, under
the plea that toleration requires it. There is no prin-
ciple more sacred or more incumbent on an English
ruler than religious toleration. But the assumption of
territorial dignity and authority in England, by virtue
of the mandate of a foreign power, requires something
more than toleration to stomach it. The project of
Ministers is said to be to prevent any Roman Catholic
prelates in England assuming territorial titles in futuro,
leaving the present dignitaries in full blow, and in pos-
session of those titles and splendour which they carried
by storm.

Now, for our part, we think that if punishment were
to be inflicted upon any, it should be on the perpetrators
and originators of the outrage. It is impossible and
unadvisable for the Government to enter into a per-
manent state of antagonism with the Catholic body.
And in fact our best allies and means for resisting
arrogance of the kind and avoiding the rise of a
religious party in the country hostile to the throne,
to popular liberty, and to its institutions, are the
liberal Roman Catholics themselves. These to a
man are as indignant at the conduct of the
Pope and of Cardinal Wiseman as the chief of the
Government can be, and we cannot but think, that any
law prohibiting the present assumption of territorial
dignity by Roman Catholic Prelates in England would
be sanctioned by them. To be severe for the present,
lenient for the future, would thus seem the desirable
plan; instead of, as is rumoured, leaving those who com-
mitted the outrage to reap the honour of it with im-
punity, whilst the whole Roman Catholic body are to be
affronted by some permanent Bill of exclusion E4ss:a
against the future hierarchy.
The great political objection to Roman Catholicism
is, that the opinions, influence, and I,',Ower of the laity
are all absorbed in the priesthood, whose acts are in a
spirit often retrogade, opposed to liberty, and to all the
ideas of a free community, This, however, although a
reproach too great and general, is not essential to Catho-
licism, in which the laity can emancipate itself and rise
to the full freedom of citizenship. That this can be the
nature of Catholicism in a community so developed
and enlightened as England there cannot be a doubt,
so that in no country ought fairer terms of respect and
tolerance be given to Roman Catholics than in Eng-
land. One great protection against the resuscitation or
progress of that religion must be sought, as we have
oft repeated, in a reform of the universities, for the pur-
pose of favouring a more English and less exclusive edu-
cation to the upper classes; and in the establishment of
an effective system of education for the poor, such as
that just broached in Manchester, most requisite in
those localities to which Irish families have emigrated.
To these must be added some medium institution be-
tween school and university, such as the gymnases of
continental towns, where the process of mixed education
can be carried on, separating secular from religious in-
struction, and enabling the youth of all sects to meet on
the common ground of general learning and universal
forbearance.

Taking such precautions against the advance of any
religion that bases itself on authority, and prefers
priestly word to man's own reason, such precautions
should be taken against any arrogance or encroach-
ments of the Roman Catholic hierarchy as might in-
terfere with the Queen's dignity, or with the paramount
right of Parliament. In this, however, we must be in
accord with the liberal body of the Roman Catholic
laity. In the sister kingdom, unfortunately, the in-
equality and injustice still established and maintained
with respect to Roman Catholics there, binds laity and
clergy in a common cause, and in a combination rendered
necessary in the long war which they have waged, and
have still to wage, against the ascendancy. But were the
great cause removed for Roman Catholic laity and clergy
being banded together in political party, we should find
in Ireland, as in England, the more enlightened and in-
fluential mass of that persuasion entertain ideas and
pursue aims nowise different from those of liberal Pro-
testants o❑ the great questions and intentions and pro-
gress of the day.
To this consummation we must look fir the furthering
of what is the greatest of two Protestant principles, the
emancipation of the laity from the narrow prejudices of
a sacerdotal caste, and the influence of that laity exerted
to bring the clergy into harmony with the necessities
and the ideas of the time.
For all these reasons we hope that the language of
the Government, put into the mouth of her Majesty,
will express most strongly a sense of the affront put
upon the Queen and country by the present renegade
and imbecile Pontiff, and by that singular personage
who one day usurps the prerogative of sovereignty, and
the next condescends to fling his jocose ribaldry at
Punch. Whatever penalty, even amounting to exile
from the country he has insulted, that could be inflicted
upon Dr. Wiseman, he would certainly deserve. But
fur the future, we would consult the views and necessi-
ties of the liberal and lay Catholics, nor sanction any
measure which they might consider to be one of con-
tumely, proscription, or even intolerance.—Daily News.

CHARGE OF EM7---BEZZLEiNTTAGAINST THE
SECRETARY OF A LOAN SOCIETY.
LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—Mr. Greatley, solicitor, pre-
ferred a charge of embezzlement against Mr. G. IL
Plant, secretary to the Liverpool Mutual Loan Society.
It appeared from the evidence brought forward that a
Mr. Fisher, of Scotland-yard, obtained a loan of 1004
from the society, 69/. of which bad been repaid in
weekly instalments up to September, 1849. Ho then
ceased payment till March, 1850, when he made an
arrangement with Plant, by which, amongst other
conditions, he was to pay 18/. additional, which was
done in that month, but which had never been accounted
for by Plant in his books.

M. Bremmer appeared for Plant, and cross-examined
the witnesses, but failed to dis- establish the case.
The prisoner was remanded till Saturday next, Mr.
Rushton, the magistrate, acceding to bail, fixing the
amount at 2001. on prisoner's part, and two sureties of
1001. each.

FEARFUL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday evening con-
siderable excitement wa3 caused in the vicinity of Albert-
gate, Hyde-park, in consequence of the following fearful ac-
cident appears that for some time past a building of
considerable extent for the new Chinese exhibition has been
in course of construction near the above-named spot, and
about 'the hour for the numerous men employed at the pre-
mises leaving off for the week a number of the hands ap-
proached one end of the scaffolding on which they were at
work. The instant they did so, their weight, resting upon
one of the putlocks, lifted a
wall to fall. Five or six of the

jured more especially the followingof persons, who were re-
moved with all possible expedition to St. George's Hospital :
—A bricklayer named William Rowles, 42 years of aga, re-
siding at 2, Queen-street, Marlborough-road, received a
serious scalp wound ; Michael Connell, aged 27, a labourer,
of 2, Pantechnicon-place, New-road, Chelsea, was similarly
injured; and William Toole, aged 31, a labourer, of 11,
Upper James-street, Sloan-square, Chelsea, had several ribs
fractured. The others fortunately received no injury of im-
portance. Tho sufferers were promptly attended to by Air.
Cutler, one of the principal surgeons of the institution, but
the poor fellow whose ribs are fractured is not expected to
recover.

THE BARQUE, RICHARD COBDEN BURNT AT SEA.
—The following letter from Mr. Archibald, master of the
late barque Richard Cobden, burnt at sea, is extracted from
a St. Helena paper :—" I take the only means of publicly

9th of September, having on board a cargo of sugar, cotton,
safflower, jute, &c., and by the ignition of the said cargo was
totally destroyed by tire on the 22d of October, the ship
Prince of Orange in sight at the time, the master of which
vessel kindly remained by us, and received the whole of the
crew on board his vessel, and brought us well and safe to
this island. Thus we have much to be thankful for, that
a kind Providence has been watchful in protecting us."

AMERICAN NEWS.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY, JAN. 19.
By the United States mail steamer :Baltic, Ciprain
Comstock, which arrived in the river shortly before
ten o'clock this morning, we have advices from New
Yolk to the Bth inst.
The Baltic was detained off the Bar for about fonr
hours.

The steam-ship Niagara arrived at Boston the sth
inst. The City of Glasgow screw steamer arrived
at Philadelphia on the 2d inst. The Crescent City
had arrived at New York with dates from California
to the Ist of December, Chagrea to the 27th, and
Kingston (Jamaica) to the 31st ult. She had on
freight 1,500,000 dolls, in gold dust, and a large
amount in the hands of passengers. A specie train
was attacked seven miles out of Panama by a party
of 16 men, well armed, who succeeded in taking
100,000 dolls., which was, however, nearly all re-
covered. The steam-ship Oregon arrived at Pa-
nama on the lath of November with 2,000,000 dolls. in
gold-dust on freight, and 1,000,000 dolls. in the hands
of passengers. The dry season was setting in at
Chagres, and the place becoming more healthy.
From the mines we learn that many persons had
purchased %sinter supplies with the intention of pass-
ing that season at the dry diggings i❑ the mountains.
The disappearance of cholera at Sacramento city had
caused a revival of business. The rainy season com-
menced on the 19th of November. Many new veins
of ore had been discovered. Agriculture was in a
flourishing condition. A new branch of commercial
activity had been commenned at San Francisco—that
of fitting out whaling ships. A regular line of sail-
ing packets had been established between San Fran-
cisco and Panama, touching at Realejo. The miners
in the frontier region of El Dorado and Colveras
counties laboured under much apprehension of hostile
Indians, some murders having taken place.
The arrivals had been heavy, and immense quanti-
ties of goods thrown on the mart.
Exchange on England, at sight, 5. dolls.
The Courier and Inquirer announces that official
intelligence has been received at Washington, stating
that the British Government had directed its agents
to suspend the collection of duties at San Juan or
Graytown, in Nicaragua.
Advices to the 31st ult. from Kingston, Jamaica,
have come to hand. The Great Western arrived on
the 28th on the north side of the island.
The cholera continued to rage with violence at
Montego Bay and Falmouth, but in Kingston, Port
Royal, and Spanish Town it had disappeared.
The royal mail steam-ship Merlin had arrived at
New York with advices from St. Thomas's to the
29th, and Bermuda to the 26th ult., but they contain
no intelligence.
The steam-ship Philadelphia arrived at New Or-
leans on the Ist instant, with 240 men who had been
employed to work on the Panama Railroad.
The report of the declaration of war between St.
Salvador and Honduras is confirmed. Mr. Chatfield
had intimated that the British Government would
interfere.

Advices from Mexico city to the 16th ult. men-
tion a report that Arista was rapidly forming a
Cabinet. A meeting of the French creditors of
Mexico had been held, at which the Minister of the
Treasury was present. He expressed a partiality for
the French creditors, as they had not oppressed the
Republic by means of usurious loans and fraudulent
contracts.

The intelligence from Yucatan is serious. A
battle is reported to have taken place with the Indians,
in which the whites were defeated with a loss of 300
men.

active, and an advance of
_lc. per pound has been
realized. We adjust our quotations accordingly. The

less this season than last; and there is a decrease in stock
of 19,102 bales. The sales for the past three days are
8,100 bales; and, for the previous three days, 1,900. We

pig sold at 21 dolls. out of store, and 100 ditto afloat at
21 dills 25 cents, six months; holders for English bars
firm at 40 dolls., but we hear of no further transactions.
13readstuffs—A moderate business in Western and
State flour; prices steady; holders of Ohio firm, Cana-
dian iu fair demand; there is more inquiry for wheat.
Freights—A number of ships have arrived since our
last, some of which packets being out of time must be
dispatched immediately, and, as there is but little going
forward, low rates have been accepted. To Liverpool
we noticed engagements of 10,000 bushels of wheat at
3d.; 7,000 barrels of flour, 9d. to ls.; 1.00 tons of log-

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.
From the earliest days of the establishment of the
Royal Polytechnic Institution we have watched with
great interest its never-failing and excellent exertions to
bring science within the reach of the humblest admirer
of knowledge. No seal of Hermes shuts out the un-
initiated here—no endless jargon of hard words (called
by some men science) bewilder or weary the imagina-
tion; but all the lectures and demonstrations have a
definite object, and must please from their clearness and
admirable experimental illustration. One of the must
amusing and instructive lectures we have attended fur
some time is that now being delivered by John H. Pep-
per, Esq., "On Fire and its Antagonists." The lec-
turer commenced by observing that it was chiefly in-
tended for a juvenile auditory, and therefore any length-
ened preface would be unnecessary. The audience were
then reminded that the principle called Fire had always
been invested with a mysterious dignity, and was wor-
shipped by the Persians, the Magi, and Chaldeans, as a
deity or god; that Aristotle considered it as
a component part of the globe, and classed it with
Earth, Air, and Water, calling them all elements.
The sources of fire were then demonstrated, and every-
thing this lecturer seemed to touch, even water, was
resigned to the dominion of fire. Various combustions
on a large scale then followed. One flame was twenty
feet in length. Also the magnificent fire-cloud, with its
beautiful rolling and undulating flame. Then came fires
of different colours ; and last of all fire was sent
about in various parts of the room, by trains of guu-
cotton, reminding us of the passage of electricity. But
the lecturer's exertions were not yet ended. The anta-
gonists, or enemies of fire, were next explained :
water did not appear to be of much use; and our own
experience reminded us, that when once fire was in the
ascendant little could be done to control it. The exclu-
sion of the oxygen of the air, and the use of carbonic
acid gas were the chief agencies which annihilated
flame; and, as a final experiment, a large quantity of
carbonic acid gas was collected in a cistern, and, taking
advantage of its weight, the lecturer bailed it out with
a pail, and succeeded in extinguishing a large bonfire,
by pouring on to it the whole contents of the cistern;
and here the lecturer concluded, with great applause,
promising a second on the same subject.

CAPTAIN HOLDER ALLEYNE.—We understand from
good authority that this gentleman is, in the most honourable
manner, discharging his turf liabilities, and tendering 5 per
cent. in compensation for the delay which peculiar circum-
stances rendered him unable to prevent. The money due to
the captain is, we believe, fully equal to the aggregate
amount of the claims upon him; and we trust we shall have
the satisfaction to announce that his own strict sense of
honour has had a corresponding effect on all who are indebted
to him.—Sunday Times.

A DOMESTIC TREASURE.—Socrates used to say to
his friends that his wife was his greatest blessing, since she
was a never• ceasing monitor of patience, from whom he
learned so much within his own doors that all the crosses he
wet with elsewhere were light to him.—American Paper.

EXHIBITION OF 1851.
The following are the answers of the Executive
Committee to the questions put to them by a deputa-
tion from Manchester :
SUGGESTED BY THE SUB-COMMITTEES FOR COLOURED

AND UNCOLOURED COTTONS.

1. Are all the Manchester contributors to be placed
together, or how? Where machinery? Where prints?
—All exhibitors of cottons grouped together as exhibi-
tors of cottons. Printed and dyed together, &c.; see
classifications 11 to 18 (18 to be corrected).
2. Most important to have final statement of the space
required, so as to be at once allotted.—The power of ar-
riving at that point depends wholly upon the local com-
mittees transmitting the returns.
3. Will the executive committee lay out the articles?
—No; where servants belonging to exhibitors are al-
lowed. Where no servants, of course the executive
committee must; but then in its own way; necessarily
inn very cheap and simple manner.
4. Will each exhibitor have to arrange his own goods?
—To be arranged either by parties eppointed by the
local committee or by the exhibitors; tailing both, the
Commissioners will take some steps in the matter.
5. What will he the arrangement of the counters?—
As the local committee wishes, so as not to interfere
with the general passages-7 feet not the standard width
of counters—counters may be had of any width, say Ito
14 feet.
6. How high will wall space he above the counters?
—Varying from the counters up to 40 feet. Wall space
simply is, hanging space, and may be obtained round
counters; probably only rails for suspending goods to,
or ropes from galleries in some cases.
7. What are the upright cases described in the deci-
sions as being available with wall space, and extreme
width of such cases?—lf au exhibitor wishes for any
especial arrangement, he must make it at his own ex-
pense. If not, it will be done by the Commissioners in
the cheapest and most economical way. There will
probably be no counters against external walls. The
vertical or hanging space will consist of screens, to which
projection, not exceeding two feet, will be allowed, either
in shape of upright cases or counters.
8. When wall space alone is demanded, will there
be a counter in front of it for the exhibition of other
articles?—Counters may, and probably will be, placed
in front—left to the exhibitors. Exhibitors must act
together as much as possible, for their own convenience
and economy.
9. Will the counter be separated into stalls with side
divisions for each exhibitor I—lf required. The counters
will consist of common deal boards. The expenses of
exhibitors and of the Commissioners not to be mixed.
Side divisions may project five feet, and be as high as
wished.

10. If so, will each exhibitor have to be at the ex-
pense of fitting it up?—Yes: where any special accom-
modation is required, or the exhibitor has any wishes of
his own.

11. In such case it is supposed, that each exhibitor
would have his stall exclusively for his own use; i, e.
coloured calicoes would not be placed in such a position
that the silks or velvets of another contributor would be
placed on a counter below them, and thus destroy the
effect of the calicoes?—Left as much as possible to the
local committee. Business of the local committee and

the exhibitors. When exhibitors have no representatives,
such an amalgamation, though not intended, it may b©
difficult to avoid.

12. How is it proposed to hang designs?—Not matured
—open to advice—probably will be put with the articles
for which they are designs.
13. Can time for sending up goods be extended to the
Ist of April?—No.
14. If any exhibitor makes in one district cotton, cot-
ton and woollen, or cotton and silk goods, will be be
allowed to exhibit altogether on one counter?—Cer-
tainly, unless entirely incongruous.
15. Will goods sent on before the time fixed for
delivery be at once put in order for exhibition?—No; if
the goods are subject to deterioration, the exposure will
be delayed as long as possible.
