FRANCE AND ROME.

The following is a translation of the article in the
Constitutionnel of which a telegraphic summary has
already appeared in our columns :

" The Catholic world is anxiously expecting the resolu-
tions which recent events may inspire to the Sovereign
Pontiff. It is no longer possible to call in question the in-
fluences which tend to induce the Pope to leave Rome.
Will those influences succeed ? A very proximate result
will answer the question.
"We admit the full gravity of the events which are
actually taking place in the States of the Church, and we
understand the emotion they have caused at the
Vatican. But because a brutal aggression has been
committed against the Papal territory, is that a
reason why the Pope should quit his capital, which is the
metropolis of Catholicism ? As long as Rome remains to
the Papacy it will not be dethroned. Is not Rome the real
seat of the temporal and spiritual power of the Church ?
Is she not the glorious inheritance of St. Peter? Doubtless
the provinces which surround it are a precious addition to
that imperishable gift, like the right of which it is the
human monument.

"But those provinces may be restricted or increased ac-
cording to circumstance, without tho patrimony of the suc-
cessors of St. Peter being touched or the principle of its
sovereignty. There are in the world 200,000,000 of Catho •
lies, who will say to themselves, The Holy Father is at
Rome ; he can bless the whole world from the summit of
the Quirinal; therefore he is a Sovereign.
" And, therefore, let it be well observed, in the condition
in which the Pope is now placed, his sovereignty is all the
more sure, because it is guaranteed by the honour of France.
There is at Rome a body of troops whose commander and
men are ready to die to protect the safety and the authority
of the Holy Father. It is the most powerful Catholic na-
tion of the world which mounts guard at the gates of the
Vatican, and which renders invincible, like itself, the seat
of the political independence of the Head of the Church,
placed under the protection of its sword.
it Why, then, should the Pope leave Rome ? Is it be-
cause France did not oppose the aggression of Piedmont by
force of arms ? France blamed the conduct of that Power ;
she recalled her ambassador from Turin; she publicly dis-
avowed an act which she considered a violation of the law
of nations. Could she do more? Ought we, as some
Legitimist journals declare, to have thrown 100,000 men
into Italy to defend the Papal territory ? It would
have been tantamount to assuming a position in Italy
which we denied to Austria. By such an intervention
we should have become the dominator of Italy. The feel-
ing of Italy would have rejected us, the feeling of Europe
would have suspected us. IVe should thereby have altered
our whole policy and lost the esteem and respect of the
people we have liberated, our part of moderator and libe-
rator.

" Nothing, therefore, can be so:out of place as to ask
France to declare war on Piedmont. France has increased
her body of troops at Rome ; she will combat revolution if
it dares to approach that city ; it is her right as a Catholic)
Power; by extending her interference beyond that sho
would become a suspicion to Europe and hateful to Italy.
" Why, moreover, ask from France what Austria herself
did not think fit to do ? Does Austria intervene in the
States of tt e Church ? No ; she confines herself to a diplo-
matic protest, and iu the blame she throws on Piedmont
she has been anticipated by France.
" We therefore still hope that tho Pope will not resort to
the advice given him, it must be said, in hatred to French
influence. Should he, however, give in, it would be, in
our cpinion, a great misfortune for the Church; but such
a step would not alter our duty, and Franco would always
be ready to show its respect and devotion to the Head of
the Church. She would always be ready to repair faults
the responsibility of which does not rest with her."

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN
RAlLWAY.—Ycsterday morning a distressing and fatal
accident happened at the Doncaster station of the Great
Northein Railway to a man named Foster, a foreman
employed over the litters at the plant-works adjoining the
station. The man was standing upon the down line as the
No
.6goods train was coming up, and without having his
attention attracted by the approaching train, the driver of
which whistled to warn him of his danger, he stood still,
it is believed, absorbed in thought, and the engine struck
him and threw him upon the line. The wheels of the engine
passed over both legs below the knees, and severed them
from the body. Concussion of the brain and other injuries
were so frightful that the poor fellow died in a few minutes
after the arrival of Mr. R. Sykes, the company's surgeon.
An inquest on view of the body was held last evening
before Air, blin Lister, tlio borogb, comer.

There is only a moderate inquiry for money,
and notwithstanding the reduced terms upon
which accommodation can be obtained in the
general market very little reference has been made
to the probability of an alteration in the minimum
rate of discount in the Bank of England. The
supplies of money continue plentiful, and first
class bills having only a short period to run can
be negotiated as low as 3,-1 per cent., while loans
on English stock are negotiable at 2 to 23- per

Rather more business was transacted in the
Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, 12,000 bales
having been sold at full rates. The Railway Share
Market closed with more animation, and prices ex-
hibited a general improvement.
A sum of £20,000, in gold, was withdrawn from
the Bank of England yesterday, for exportation.
The Tasmanian has been announced from the
West Indies, with a large supply of specie, viz.,
£1,132,400 ; and the Fulton has arrived from New
York, with £88,400 for France.
To-day a call of £2 per share, amounting to
£310,000, is due on the Great Indian Peninsula
New Railway Shares.
There was a meeting yesterday of the creditors
of Messrs. Smith, Sinclair, and Co., linen factors,
when a balance-sheet was presented showing the
liabilities to be £43,553, and the assets £15,736.
After some explanations, it was resolved that the
estate should be adjudicated in the Court of Bank-
ruptcy.

to this day, are in round figures as under :-

The Market for Public Securities continues quiet
but it presents a heavy appearance owing to sales
on speculative account. An unfavourable effect has
been produced by political advices from abroad,
especially in reference to the communication made
by Russia to France. Consols are 93 to 931 for
money, and 938 1 for the 11th proximo. India
New Loan has receded to 1031 ; ditto 51 per Cent.
Enfaced Paper to 1021 ; but the Debentures remain
at 961, and Exchequer Bills at par to 3s. prem.
In Foreign Securities the dealings have been
very moderate, and prices are depressed. Turkish
6 per Cents. are 731 to 74 ; ditto New, 551 to
56; Mexican are 228 -,71; Portuguese have receded
to 431 ; Grenada Active to 161 tl ; and Belgian 41
per Cents. are 98.
The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 18
2/ prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, tl 1 prem. ;
and the Universal, 1 1 prem.

A very moderate business has been transacted in
the Railway Share Market, and prices generally
have been steady. Lancashire and Yorkshire, and
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln advanced ss. ;
Great Northern, 10s. ; and North Eastern (Berwick),
£1 ; Caledonian have declined 55., and Midland and
South Eastern 10s.

In the Foreign and Colonial markets there has
been no change of importance. South Austrian

a dull sale at previous currencies. The top figure for
Downs was 5s 2d per 81bs. We were fairly supplied with si
calves, which moved off slowly at last week's prices—viz.,
si
from 4s to 5s per 81bs. There was only a moderate sale for

MATCH.

Accounts have reached town of a flagrant attempt
made on Sunday, in the open day, to assassinate
Mr. Richard Dy as, S.P. of lleathstown, county of
Meath, while returning in his carriage from Athboy
Church. A correspondent of one of the Dublin
papers (the Express) gives the subjoined particu-
lars. The Government have offered a reward of
£lOO for the discovery of the assassin—the perpe-
trator of the deed :

" Kells, Monday, Sept. 24.
" I have just heard that a most diabolical at-
tempt was made yesterday to assassinate Mr.
Richard Dyas, J.P., Heathstown, while returning
from church. As far as I can learn up to the pre-
sent, the facts are these :—Mr. Dyas was sitting
beside his coachman (whether driving or not I can-
not say), the inside of the vehicle being occupied
by a portion of the family, and when within a short
distance of his own house a shot was fired from
behind the hedge, fortunately without seriously
wounding either Mr. Dyas or the coachman. The
slugs, or bullets, actually grazed the person of Mr.
Dyas, touching the skin, so that the escape was in-
deed miraculous, many of them being found lodged
in the coachman's coat, in the cushions, and also in
the front of the carriage. Had the charge even
caught the centre of the carriage, the deaths of
several might have resulted. The assassins were
dressed in the garb of women, a general mode, and
had their faces blackened, so that identification
may prove abortive. This is, I understand, either
the third or fourth time that the life of Mr. Dyas
has been attempted. On one occasion a horse was
shot under him while he was proceeding to Carlana-
town fair, and on another occasion he was fired at
near his own house. I have heard no particular
reason assigned for these diabolical attempts upon
his life. He is agent to Sir Benjamin Chapman,
whom all say is tt first-rate landlord, and I believe
Lady Chapman to be respected to the highest ex-
tent by all her tenantry, and also by all who know
the family. Such an outrage as the above, I am
happy to say, is of rare occurrence in this country,
but, taking place as it did in the most celebrated
part of the district for riband outrages, some de-
cided course should be taken by the Government
to put down the system, if they are able to do so.
The spot where the late Mr. Connell met his un-
timely end is not many miles from the scene of the
above attempt. Heathetown is only a few miles
from the town of Athboy, where Mr. Dyas and his
family were at church. The would-be assassins
made off the moment the shot was fired, so that
pursuit was unavailing, especially as the coachman
is rather elderly, and perhaps could not well leave
his master in the fright and excitement of the mo-
ment. Should I hear any further particulars of the
matter I will let you know."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TRIS .DAL)

BOW STREET.

AN UNRULY PAUPER,—Mary Beattie was placed at the
bar, charged with assaulting Elizabeth Hales, and obtain-
ing admission to St. Giles' Workhouse under false pre.
tences. .

Elizabeth Hales said she was an inmate of St. Giles's
Workhouse, as was the prisoner. They slept in the same
bed, and since Beattie's admission she had been continu-
ally quarrelling. An altercation took place this morning
about remaking the bed, the prisoner refusing flatly to
assist in doing so, and on being informed that the authori-
. _

ties would be acquainted with her conduct, she jumped on
the bed, and getting hold of the complainant she
began striking her with the hand broom. Shugars
the officer, was called, but he was unable to restore quiet-
ness, so he took the prisoner into custody.
The nurse of the ward, Mrs. Coombes, confirmed the
statement of witness.

Shugars, the officer to the Workhouse, said he was called
to quell a disturbance in one of the female wards. He
found the prisoner partly undressed, and, on telling her to
put the whole of her clothes on, he observed she took par-
ticular care of her pocket. He demanded to know what
she had in it, as she had obtained admission into the house
as a totally destitute person. Sho refused to satisfy him,
and after a little resistance he got:the pocket from her, and
found in it a purse containing a sovereign, two shillings,
and four foreign coins.

Magistrate—Well, prisoner, what have you to say to the
charge ?
Prisoner—Nothing your worship. I refused to submit
to the impudence of Hales, and I paid her out for it. I
never did nothing else.

Hales—That's true. You neyer did nothing else. You
used to walk about the ward like a lady calling everybody
else names.

Prisoner—What did I call you; you'are not worth call-
ing anything. (Laughter.)

_
Hales—You called me enough to aggravate any person.
Prisoner—lf I called you names, you did me. I cer•
tainly called you a thief. Why, your worship she was
going to be married to my brother, but his lieutenant
would not allow it, and she then ran away with all his
money about a month ago.
Shugars said Hales had been in the house more than two
months, so it could not be her.

Mr. llEnry—What have you to say to entering the work-
house as a destitute person ?

Prisoner—So I was and am. I've nobody to look after
me—(laughfer)—and went into the workhouse to look after
the girl that ran away with my brother's money, and I
thought I should be sure to find her there.
Mr. Henry—But when you applied for admission you
had seven-and-twenty shillings in your purse.
Shugars informed the magistrate that the prisoner had
never once left the house since she entered it a fortnight
*ego, or received any letters or friends.
Prisoner—Well, I did have the money when I went in,
but as I did not intend to stop long I thought I might want
it when I came out, so I did not say anything about it.
Mr. Henry told the prisoner that she had clearly com-
mitted an assault on Hailes, and obtained admission to the
workhouse by falsely representing herself as a destitute
person. The officer informs me you have not the slightest
claim on the parish, so I shall remand you for a week in
order that some inquiries may be made about you.
The prisoner was then locked up.
