THE NOVEMBER GA - ISi
gales of this month have hitherto
and attended with trighful ca a .
the fatal disasters were apnallir's. in number of
—s and loss of life, and we fear that the accounts
from the coasts of the tremendous gale of wind which
blew from almost all points of the compass yesterday,
attended by violent squalls, will fearfully add to the fist
of wrecks and the loss of life already recorded.
In London and neighbourhood yesterday much da-
mage was done to the roofs and windows of the houses,
and at noon it was scarcely safe to venture out in the
streets.
In Fleet-street, two persons had a very providential
escape, a large stone, weighing about half a hundred
weight, slipped from the coping of the house inhabited
by Mr. Brandt, tobacconist, adjoining the police-station,
and fell upon the pavement with a most tremendous
crash. Almost miraculous to say, no one was injured
by the accident, although a lady and a policeman were
at the moment within only a few inches of the spot.
With great prudence and judgment. Mr. Inspector Scott
sent policeman 372 up to the roof of the house to ascer-
tain the safety of the other stones, which bad evidently
he-n loosened during the storm, some of which it was
found necessary to temo‘e, and thus prevent a probable
eat u,:trophe to some of the foot passengers.
(EXTRACT FROM OFFICIAL REPORT OF CAPTAIN GARRET
lIUGLI FITZGERALD To CAPTAIN ELLIS, RN.)
" The EJmond, which sailed on Monday at eight
o'clock, from Carrigabolt, with a fair wind, was char-
tered by John M•Donnell, Esq., of Limerick. When
the vessel got about 30 miles clear of land, the wind
headed and came to blow such a gale that all the canvas
went, and the ship in a most miraculous manner got into
Killtee bay, where no ship ever before entered, at half-
past eleven on Tuesday night, and became a total wreck
at three o'clock on Wednesday morning. There were
216 souls on board; three more than mustered for me.
Out of 216, 120 are saved, including all the crew ex-
cept the carpenter; 96 have been boat; of whom 47
have been washed on shore; 50 coffins were brought from
Kilrush by Mr. Blair, Lloyd's agent. Captain Pascoe
stated he never saw such a wreck."
On the same night another ship, laden with emigrants,
bound for New Orleans, was totally lest on the Black-
water Bank, along with three other vessels, laden with
cargoesiof the value of 35,0001. The emigrant ship was
an American, named the Adeline, last from Liverpool,
with, it is said, 500 passengers. She struck on the south
end of the shoal. Her signals of distress were quickly
perceived by the coast guard, who with the inhabitants
immediately put off in their boat to the wreck, and by
extraordinary exertions they succeeded in saving every
soul. The ship, however, went to pieces.
FURTHER CASUALTIES.
LIMERICR.—The Russian vessel, the Gustava Adolf,
is missing. The Rival, ashore at Doneymore Island, in
Tralee Bay, bound from Limerick to Liverpool with
oats. She had lost her foremast, and at the time the
account left the sea was running so high that no boat
could reach her. We have also heard of the Fitz-
Henry, bound from Tralee to Limerick, with grain,
driven ashore in Tralee Bay. The Henry and Ann,
Hogg master, went ashore on the island opposite Kil-
rush, in the Shannon, bound from Waterford to Lime-
rick, with barley, for Mr. Thomas Usborne, Limerick;
all safe.

Accounts state that ten other vessels left Scattery
Roads with the unfortunate Edmond, of which there hat
been no account.
The brig Henry and Anne, Thomas master, bound
from Queenstown to Limerick, with Indian corn, in
bringing up to Cork harbour on Tuesday evening,
during a gale of wind, got on the rocks at the entrance,
and as the gale continued, we fear it became a total
wreck.

Six vessels sailed from Falmouth, principally foreign
vessels, on Monday week, for Limerick, none of which
have been heard of.

COAST OF ENGLAND AND WALES.
PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY, FIVE P.M.—A violent westerly
gale commenced blowing last night, accompanied with
thick weather and occasional heavy squalls of wind and
rain; sometimes the wind has approached to a hurricane.
We are fearful that we shall hear of many disasters.
We have not had a more severe storm at Portsmouth for
some time past, and at present there is no appearance of
its moderating. At Spithead, the Caroline, the Austrian
man-of-war, and several other vessels have rode safely,
but a Sunderland brig drove to-day at high water, but
brought up off Soutbsea Castle, and now holds on.
CORNWALL.—On Wednesday, night about eleven
o'clock, the schooner Queen, of London, from Cardiff,
was totally lost on Phillack beach, and the whole of
her crew perished. From the size of the boat that was
washed on shore this morning entire, the vessel is sup-
posed to have been about 150 tons burden. Some of her
papers were washed ashore, and are now in the posses-
sion of the coast-guard men stationed at Gwithiau. The
crew were distinctly heard orying for assistance, but
none could be rendered. Nothing more of the vessel
or crew was seen or heard after one o'clock this morn-
ing. Some of her bulwarks are washed ashore.
PADSTOW.—The French chasse•marda Emile Maria,
of Sarzeaud, Pierre Carhoalent master, coal-laden, front
Liverpool for Bordeaux, went ashore on Monday night,
about ten o'clock, in Constantine Bay, five miles west of
I'adatow, and became a total wreck. Four of the
crew, including the master, perished. The two sur-
vivors state that they mistook Trevose Headlight for
Lundy, under the lee of which they intended to run for
shelter.

During the height of the gale the coast near Bide-
ford and Appledore was the scene of a 1E47 serious wreck.
The wind was blowing heavily from W.N.W., when a
fine vessel, called the Prince Albert, laden with grain.
bound from Waterford to Gloucester, was observed
driving on the shore. One of the life-boats put off to
the rescue of the crew. Ere this, however, the vessel
bad struck, and the destruction of the poor fellows
seemed inevitable. By a deTerate effort they were at
length preserved, but the unfortunate vessel was spee-
dily broken up by the heavy surf which was running.
Other disastrous casualties happened on the same line
of coast. Pwlheli, Aberystwith, Milford, and along the
entire sea range of South Wales. the storm was very
destructive, much damage being done to the shipping.
In some parts of the coast the sea overflowed the Sank
wall and flooded the country for miles ; while at
Aberystwith
.a part of the quarry railway was washed
away.

H-AvLE.—The Queen, Dowland, of London, from Li-
verpool for Sardinia, came on shore about two o'clock
on Thursday morning, between this place and God-
!ea•y, three miles east of St. Ives, laden with iron, tin
plate, &c. ; crew perished. The ship went to pieces al-
most immediately after she struck. Neither of the
crew have been picked up.
lIARRINGTON.—On Tuesday afternoon, during a se-
vere gale from the south-west, the brig Lark, of White-
haven, drifted past that port and came on shore a little
to the south of Harrington, near the tan-yard. At the
following tide she became a complete wreck. The crew
were all saved.

DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING.—The Port of this
evening contains the following correspondence :
" Dublin, Nov. 19, 1850.
" Most eminent and most honoured Lord,—l feel sin-
gular pleasure in having the honour to forward to your
Eminence the accompanying proof of the perfect union
of heart and mind which subsists between the Catholic
clergy of Dublin and their fellow Catholics in England;
and I need not, I trust, assure your Eminence, how cor-
dially I join in the present congratulations which are
respectfully offered therein to your Eminence, on your
elevation to the exalted dignity of Prince of the Church,
to which your Eminence has been so deservedly raised.
" I have the honour to be, with deep respect for your
Eminence, your most faithful and obedient servant,
"t 1). MURRAY
CARDINAL WISEMAN'S REPLY.
"My dear Lord and Brother in Christ,—Nothing
could have possibly been more truly gratifying to me
at this moment than the sympathy of your Grace and
the clergy of Dublin. The kind and moat welcome ex-
pression of the feelings in the resolutions forwarded to
me by your Grace, and the affectionate letter from your-
self that accompanied them, are most cheering while we
aro suffering from extraordinary commotion aroui*l us;
and I feel that your Grace and the clergy of Dublin
have come most justly to the conchision.which I enter-
tain in common with all English Catholics, that the good
sense of our fellow-countrymen will soon bring them to
sea the establishment of our hierarchy in its true light,
and that ample justice will be rendered both to our
acts and to our motives by the public here.
"I beg, through your Grace, to return my most cor-
dial and affectionate thanks to the clergy of Dublin for
their great and welcome kindness,
" I am ever, my dear Lord Archbishop,

EXPEDITION OF BUSINESS AT THE STAMP-oFFICN.
—The great pressure of business which has existed at this
Government department since the new Stamp Act came into
operation is likely, in the course of a week or ten days, to as-
sume the regular routine. Last week between 200,000 and
300,000 stamps, deeds, transfers, leases, insurance, bonds,&c.,
under the new Act, were sent to various parts of the United
Kingdom and Scotland, which will about complete the re-
maining orders that had been sent from those localities. The
number of stamps of various descriptions sent to Ireland hes
been very considerable, and far exceeds what was at first
expected at Somerset-house. The supplies for Bristol, Li-

that have been sent off since the commencement of the Act
by the morning, afternoon, and evening trains are really
astonishing in the short time, and great praise is due to the
Commissioners, as well as to the employes, for the activity
they have Lhown in supplying the public with the required
stamps with the least possible delay, not only in town, where
the demands were most pressing, but in every part of the
country. The quantity of parchment sent into the Stamp-
office during the last six weeks or two months has beta
many tons weight, but now the warehouse is becoming
pretty well cleared, to accomplish which from 80 to 100
stampers have been at extra work from eight A.M. till
eight, and even ten and eleven, P.M. daily (Sundays ex-
cepted), with the exception of the Pint week, and the number
of stamps of every description dispatched already exceed
9.000,000, so that no time has been lost in expediting the
business.

ST. JAMES'S CATHOLIC CHAPEL.—Yesterday this
chapel, situate in Spanish-place, Manchester• square, which
has been closed for redecoration, was opened with con-
siderable pomp and ceremony; there was a very crowded
congregation. In the morning the sermon was preached by
the Rev. G. R. Macmullin, formerly of Corpus Christi Col-
lege, Oxford, whose recent perversion to the Church of
Rome has been madeso public. In the course of his sermon
he stated his conversion to have arisen from a firm boief
that the Roman Catholic Ras the only true church ; he ale
defended the recent act of the Pore in restoring the Roman
hierarchy in England. In the afternoon the newly-created
Bishop of Beverley preached; the chapel was crowded to
excess.

to impose authoritatively their own interpretation

would fain deprive us, the laity, of our religious
liberty, and bring us under the yoke of a sacerdotal
despotism, that the country is now moved throughout
its length and breadth ; and all who would fain so
bring us under that yoke, whether they hail from
Rome, from Oxford, from Exeter, or from London,
are in the eyes of every true Protestant, usurpers
and aggressors, against whose usurpations we
protest, and whose aggressions we resist. If,
as the Bishop of OXFORD would fain have us be-
lieve, this is merely a question of disputed jurisdic-
tion between the Bishop of ROME and the Bishops of
England—a mere question of whose is " the true
original old Green Dragon," the Roman or the
Anglican—then we say that is a question with which
we have nothing whatever to do. If the Bishop of
OXFORD repudiates the spiritual supremacy of the
QUEEN, which it appears he does, from his saying
" it touches the QUEEN as the head of our na-
tionality," it matters not that he also repudiates
the supremacy of the POPE, because he only
does so to arrogate to himself Papal power ;
and if we must be reduced to the condition of slaves
of a sacerdotal despotism, it matters not the tenth part
of the hair whether the sacerdotal despot sign his
name Pro NoNo or SAM. OXON ; it is the principle, not
the man, against which we Protestants protested at
thelßeformation, and again in 1688 ;and which protests
in this year of grace 1850, we solemnly renew. The
Bishop of OXFORD, while "protesting against the
pretended partition of England into dioceses by the
Bishop of Roars," was, in fact, encouraging the
continuance of the aggressions by refusing to
listen to any observations condemnatory of
those traitors within the camp, by whose practices the
POPE has been encouraged to pursue the line of con-
duct against which the Bishop of OXFORD protests.
The following scene sufficiently proves the animus of
the Bishop, who, in his long and Jesuitical opening
oration, endeavoured to throw dust in the eyes of the
assembled clergy, among whom, however, were soma
" honest men and true," who soon unmasked the

wash, on the 16th at Amherst, on the 16th again of
Annapolis Royal; also at St. John, at Frederiokto•
at Bridgetown, at Calais, and at Bangor. T&vr .ry-
where, in short, throughout the State of 31,14 ine,

wick the suggestion has been eagerly hailed as one
fraught with inevitable advantages to those ',hree im-
portant provinces, and scarcely a whispv.r has been
heard in any quarter that could be construed into a
serious objection to the undertaking. Of its prao,',i-
cability all have acknowledged themselves satisfied.
Of its proving an enterprise of a most remunera%ive
character not an individual has expressed himself
doubtful. The incontestable excellence of the entire
project has extorted commendation even from the most
hesitating and incredulous.
Among the numerous advantages certain to result
from carrying the project into execution, two assume
to themselves a supreme and paramount importance.
First, the proposed railway must develop all the
industrial resources at present lying dormant in
Maine, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. Secondly,
it must indisputably facilitate the intercommunica-
tion between the European and American continents.
Not a single argument is assuredly required to satisfy
the mind of the first-mentioned consequence; and in
reference to the accuracy of the second, we need only
point to the route from New York, by way of Port-
land and Halifax, to the United Kingdom, as the
shortest in every sense from the new to the old
world across the Atlantic.

A FEW OBSERVATIONS ON NERVOUS
AFFECTIONS, the Result of an Extensive
Experience in the Treatment of Nervous Dis-
orders ; with some Remarks on the Use and Abuse
of Hydoprathy. By Richard Dawson,
6v. 6.6.-
Dr. .Dawson has conferred a great benefit on sus
fering humanity by the publication of this small but,
most valuable volume, which contains the result of
seven years' extensive practice, during which there has
scarcely been a variety or form of nervous: disorder
that has not repeatedly come under his personal ob-
servation. The medical profession as a body has for
some years past completely ignored the existence of
the nerves; the pathology of the nervous system is dif-
ficult to study and to comprehend, and they have in
general therefore desisted from the attempt,
until "nervousness" has, in the ordinary medical
vocabulary, come to signify either a mere " fancied
disease," or simply a symptom of indigestion. Dr.
Dawson was induced from witnessing, while on the
continent, the original and successful practice by M.
Lellemand, to devote his attention to the study of ner-
vous disorders. Some few years since he placed
before the profession in this country the mode of
treatment which had been so successfully pursued by
M. Lallemand, and in the present volume he gives us
the results of his own practice in the treatment of
nervous diseases, during the last seven years. We
were struck at the very commencement of the work,
by the very liberal manner in which Dr. Dawson
speaks of plans proposed by other medical men for
the cure of nervous disorders ; he allows to each
plan, even to homeopathy and hydropathy, which
have ever been the " anathema maranatha" of the so-
called legitimate practitioner, its respective merit,
and admits cadidly that he has seen benefit derived
from each plan. On this subject he says :
" We find some practitioners recommending indiscri-
minately the use of certain medicines; and this too with-
out any fixed or determinate purpe.e. Some, for in-
stance, rely wholly upon morphia, others upon kreosote,
while a third class look up to hydrocianic acid as the
universal panacea. Again, the followers of Hahnemann
believe in homoeopathy as the only effectual means of
curing disease; whilst the disciples of Priestnitz place
their sole confidence in the virtues of water.
" Abundant opportunities almost daily present them-
selves to me of witnessing the efficacy of these different
modes of treatment, as pursued by the most celebrated
of their followers; and they have convinced me that all
these plans—when judiciously applied—produce more
or less benefit. It is neither just, nor consistent with the
principles of true science, to condemn without trial any
mode of treatment, simply because of its novelty, or of
its originality; or because certain of its professors may
be weak enough to maintain its universal infallibility. It
-is the duty of every scientific physician to investigate
most carefully every means that may seem at all likely
to benefit his patient; and my own experience assures
me that something useful, in particular cases, will be
found both in hydropathy and homoeopathy.
"It has repeatedly occurred to me to see patients
who stated that they had been for years in the habit of
taking large quantities of opening medicines to keep up
the due action of the bowels, but still without the slight-
est advantage or even effecting the purpose ; yet have
seen these persons derive infinitely more benefit, in a few
weeks, from a few globules,' and strictly attending to
the admirable dietetic rules prescribed by Hahnemern,
viz., giving up the use of wine, spirits, and all such sti-
mulants—than could possibly have been derived from
the adoption of all the routine discipline so commonly
insisted on.
"It may: be said, and, I have no doubt, with a-greet
deal of truth, that the abstaining from the use of wine-
and ardent spirits, with the strict attention to diet, &c.,
were really the means of cure ; and that the minute
doses of medicine in the globules were merely incen-
tives to regimen, but in every other particular wholly
inert. Upon this, however, as a purely practical man,
I need only observe that it matters but very little to
the patient by what means his health has been restored,
so that he perfectly regain it ; nor can it interest him
much what particular plan of treatment has teen the
truly effi2acious one in curing his disorder. But if
patients will not be satisfied without taking large Tian-
titles of medicine; they may as well be gratified and
amused with globules' or something at least equally
harmless, so that they may sustain no injury, while
pursuing a rational mode of living, and one conducive
to health.
" Again I have seen similar berefit, after habitual and
obstinate constipation of the bowels, and indeed con-
firmed ill health, from a few months' well regulated hye
dropathic treatment; and such patients have really obi
tamed inconceivably more advantage from strict observ-
ance of.theee rules, and due attention to diet, air, and
exercise, than had accrued from the prolonged adoption
of the plans le commended by the most judicious and
skilful allopathic practitioners. In such cases regimen
seems to have been an important element of success."
But, in order properly to apply these and other reme-
dies, it is absolutely necessary to inquire into
the nature of the case, and to ascertain the cause of
the disease, in order to remove it, instead of adopting
the plan adopted by many practitioners, of pre-
scribing only for symptoms, and thus producing in
many instances irreparable mischief, or, at the best,
affording a merely temporary relief to be succeeded
by a relapse, while all the previous symptoms are
greatly aggravated. In order to ascertain the cause
and real nature of the disease, it is neces-
cary to study the temperament of the patient.
This study of the temperament has been
of late years neglected by the medical
profession as one of but minor importance,
although the physicians of the olden time were wont
to regard the temperament as the great modifying
cause of all diseases. Dr. Dawson also considers the
study of the temperament as of the very utmost im-
portance, and he relates several interesting cases in
which, in persons of nervous temperament, symptoms
have exhibited themselves which have induced a sus-
picion of the existence of serious organic disease, but
which have been purely nervous affections, the result
of morbid irritability, and which have yielded to
treatment adopted in accordance with those views.
The following appalling fact shows the irretrievable
mischief which a medical man may commit who has
not made nervous diseases his study. After relating
an interesting history of nervous irritation of the
knee joint which was mistaken for the inflammation
which precedes white swelling, and treated accord•
ingly, until, fortunately, the patient came under Dr.
Dawson's care, he thus proceeds-
6"rhe practitioner, therefore, who has not paid
special attention to these disesses, should be very care-
fulpositively upon the nature of such
inmore especially if the patient be a lady
of
r affectionst
nervousbheefore but i
edg
or bilio-nervous temperament. It is not
long since that a very eminent surgeon, at one of our
great hospitals, amputated above the knee, under the
are many
seas
notion of the existence of white-swelling of the joint.
But, to his great surprise, upon dissection after the
operation, the joint was found in a perfectly sound and
healthy state, and it turned out that the disorder was
purely nervous and nothing more.
" Those nervous affections are not confined solely to
the joints, for I am often called upon to prescribe for
apprehend and suspect the beginning of
similar affections of the breast. Patients of this kind
The discrimination of such cases is frequently
icnavnacr,ira.b y
a matter of considerable difficulty ; and, indeed, there
bienlsiteafrloefesthe presence of cancer, when really
no
on of breasts having been removed
e existed. While this sheet is passing
through the press, I have been called upon to prescribe
for a hard and painful tumour in the left breast, which,
upon examination, presented many of the symptoms of
cancer. The tumour, so far as could be ascertained on
the first visit, the patient being very nervous, and im-
patient of the slightest attempt at touch, was hard, and
gave the stony, gristly feel of cancer. This lady in-
formed me that her sister had her breast removed in
consequence of suffering, as it was supposed, from a
cancerous affection of the gland.
" This person was of a highly nervous temperament,
and, on her fist visit, gave me the impression that she
was under the influence of wine ; but, upon more strict
inquiry, I found it was laudanum, to the habitual use of
which she had become addicted. I declined giving an
opinion, when I was informed that the amputation of the
breast had been already resolved upon; and that she had
called upon me for my advice, before submitting to the
operation.
" I advised her to go into the country, and try the
effects of a pure, wholesome atmosphere, for a' fortnight
at least; to leave off the use of opium; to take warm
sea water baths ; to use the plainest and simplest, but
still mild and nutritious diet; to live principally upon
milk, and thus remove any cause of constitutional irri-
tability.
"During the first ten days her sufferings were most
intense, in consequence of being debarred her habitual
doses of opium. Her firmness and strength of mind
were put to the severest proof in altogether renouncing
the narcotic; and, as she informed me, it was only the
hope of being able to save her breast that could have in-
duced her to forego its use. Upon her return to London,
after somewhat more than three weeks sojourn in the
country, the irritation was greatly reduced by the change
of air, bathing, and mild diet; and now a thorough ex-
amination could be endured without apprehension, and
was, therefore, readily submitted to. It at once became
evident that the tumour was the result of irritation, in
an extremely sensitive
and excitable system; and that
the care-worn, anxious, peculiar expression of counte-
nance, which we observe so constantly in true cancer,
was in this instance entirely occasioned by mental
anxiety, greatly increased and aggravated by the opium
she was taking.
" She was advised to continue the plan of living which
had proved so beneficial, and she faithfully promised me
that she would not again have recourse to opium, and I
have every reason to believe that she will perfectly
r' 'saver."

At an adjourned meeting of the Railway Conven•
tion, in Portland, on the Ist of August, 1850, a
document was produced, of a character so lucid and
striking as to illustrate, in the most brilliant manner
the accuracy of the last-mentioned statement. From
this document (inserted at page 100 of the proceedings)
published by order of the Convention), it becomes
evident how enormous the advantages would be to
the commerce, arising out of this extension of rail-
way communication from Portland to Halifax.
Calculating the ordinary rate of travelling by
channel-boats, by steam-vessels, and by express
trains, including all stoppages, the speaker estimated
the time occupied in traversing the space between
London and New York, by way of Holyhead,
Dublin, Galway, and Halifax, at seven days, twelve
hours, and five minutes. This, be it remembered, more-
over, with a margin for delays, transhipments, &c.,
&c.! Taking into account the enormous distance
required to be traversed even by this, the shortest
line of communication between England and Ame-
rica-263 miles from London to Holyhead, 63 from
Holyhead to Dublin, 120 from Dublin to Galway,
2,165 from Galway to Halifax, 120 from Halifax to
the boundary between Nova Scotia and New Bruns-
wick, 210 through New Brunwick via St. John to
Calais in Maine, 155 from Calais to Waterville, and
410 miles additional from Waterville to New York—
the brevity of the time consumed in the journey,
according to this moderate and reasonable calculation,
is surprising even in an age when science ,has ren-
dered us by its many familiarised marvels almost in-
capable of astonishment.
Already the railway communications of North
America reach as far as Waterville, so that the line re-
quiring yet to be constructed would commence in Maine,
and after traversing the south of New Brunswick
would bend down between Northumberland Strait
and the Bay of Fundy until its termination in the
capital of Nova Scotia. According to this scheme,
the traveller after leaving 1\ ew York would pass
through Boston, Portland, Waterville, Bangor,
Calais, St. John, and Truro, taking ship at Halifax,
skirting Cape Race, the southernmost point of New-
foundland, wand so reaching in succession Galway,
Dublin, Holyhead; ard London, in the brief interval
already specified. What renders the project yet more
satisfactory is the circumstance that its execution is
not likely to be retarded by engineering difficulties
in any way insurmountable. From Halifax by
Truro and Amhurst to Green Bay, at the line of
New Brunswick, the distance is estimated at
124 miles, and in the whole of this line the sole
obstacle is said to be the range of the Cobequid
Hills. The results of the survey have been given
even to the most detailed particulars by Captain HEN.
DERSON, and in every respect prove to be in the
highest degree satisfactory—the gradients throughout
being somewhat as follows : level or under 20 feet
per mile for 66 miles, from 20 to 40 feet in 37 miles,
from 40 to 50 feet in 10 miles, from 50 to 60 feet in
7 miles, and from 60 to 70 feet in 4 miles. Equally
gratifying in regard to the practicability of the route
from Thediac Bay to St. John's are the subsequent

to fear were those within tts own pale.—(Question.)

address himself strictly to the question. The object of
the meeting was to protest against the aggressions of
the t, hurceof Rome, and the meeting could not enter
upon the consideration of other matters.—(Hear, hear.)

Massingham ; of whom also places may be taken at the Box-office,
Oxford-street, from Eleven till Four o'clock.

" The Rev. W. H. Cox, rector of St. Martin's, Oxford,
maintained that unless the clergy of the diocese were
allowed to protest against the errors of Rome, the pro-
test in which it was proposed they should unite would
be inadequate to the occasion. He believed the protest
to be inadequate in some points, and irrelevant in
others. They had no right, to be, surprised at the con-
duet' of the Bishop of Rome after what had occurred in
the Church itself; but at the same time they had much
reason to be thankful at the uncompromising tone as-
sumed by the First Minister of the Crown.—(Cries of
Oh, oh,' with laughter, and some hisses.) The Prime
Minister had put his finger upon the real source of all
the present mischief.—(Cries of Question,' and some
applause.)
" The Bishop suggested to the Rev. Gentleman that
it was inexpedient to introduce into such a meeting
topics of a political character. They must lead to dis-
cussions which had nothing to do with the real question
before them.—(Hear.)
" Mr. Cox said he was obliged for the correction;
but he had not been the first to allude to political sub-
jects. He would abstain, however, from further refe-
rence to this subject. The reverend gentleman, who was
heard with impatience, proceeded to contend that the
real enemies of the Church were within the Church.
Many who held preferments had gone over to Rome. A
hundred members of that University had joined the Papal
communion, and more were expected to follow ; and
bishops' examining chaplains had asserted the fitness of
candidates to fill offices in the Church whilst they were
repudiating the Church altogether. On the other hand,
the slightest deviation from orthodoxy on the part of
evangelical elergymen had excited disapprobation.—
(Cries of Question.')
" The Bishop said he really must interfere. Mr.
Cox was going wholly beyond the question. The ob-
ject of the meeting was simply to protest against the
Pope's aggression, ,and that was the only subject which
could be considered."

Is conduct such as this the sort of conduct which
this great Protestant community has a right to expect
from a dignitary occupying the position of the Bishop
of OXFORD ? Is the inferential denial of the QUEEN'S
supremacy, or even the neglect on such an occasion
of positively asserting it, to be tolerated in her
MAJESTY'S Lord High Almoner, who, while
charging the Church of Rome in direct terms,
that "she taught as truth, and necessary truth, that
which contradicts GOD'S Holy Word," yet, following
the example of his brother of EXETER, advisedly
treated her as a Church,:and as such having authority,
and thus keeps the door open for a transaction with
her whenever opportunity shall serve? It is delightful
to turn from the Jesuitry of this meeting to the man-
liness and the honesty of that meeting of laymen in
the Castle-yard at York— an honesty and manliness
not confined to one side only, fur Mr. CHARLES LANG-
DALE, Sir W. LAWSON, and Mr. CONSTABLE MAX-
WELL, the representatives of three of the oldest
Roman Catholic families in the county, came forward
and defended their spiritual chief, to whom they
pay allegiance, with a manliness which we
cannot but admire, however much we differ from
them in opinion. The speech of Mr. LANGDALE, in-
deed, contained many passages which, had it previ-
ously undergone a clerical revision, would no doubt
have been excised, for instance, in the openness of
his heart he blurted out the following :

" Did the Noble Earl think, when he afforded us his
vote in Parliament—did he suppose that our only object
was a desire to obtain a seat in Parliament?

" Earl Fitzwilliam—lt was the only object you stated.

" Mr. Langdale continued—Did he suppose that poli-
tical privileges were all that we were obliged to him for
receiving?—(A cry,' Oh, now it's coming out.' )"
Yes, it. has come out, and we now know that in the
Roman Catholic vocabulary political privilege means
spiritual and temporal supremacy. We thank Mr.
LANGDALE for the information, and shall be prepared
to act on it hereafter. Do not, however, let us be
misunderstood ; whilst we would prevent the supre-

macy of the Romanists, because that supremacy is in

consistent with the existence of any other sect of reli.

gionists, we would secure to them the fullest equality.
If, to use the words of Earl FITZWILLIAM, "if there
is any civil right of which the Roman Catholics—it
there is any lurking statute which can be bunted out

by a curious antiquarian lawyer—if there is any-
thing of that kind which still abridges their rights, and
still renders them liable to vexatious prosecution—l
say still, notwithstanding Cardinal Wmvitas and the
PorE, let that obnoxious statute be repealed ;" but, on
the other band, we join the Noble Earl in calling
upon all those who, being emancipated

from the spiritual slavery in which their forefathers
were held, know and value the blessings of spiritual

freedom, if they desire that the Bible should be re-
tained for them, if they desire that the services of
their various churches should be performed in an in-
telligible manner, if they desire the power of exer-
cising their own judgment, and giving their own in.
terpretation to the passages of
.Scripture, to at once
declare their opinion in favour of the principles of the
Reformation.

It will be remembered that, on Friday evening, we
took occasion to explain the mission with which the
Honourable Provincial Secretary of Nova Scotia has
been entrusted to the home Government. Upon the
importance of that mission we shall doubtless have
many opportunities of expatiating ; yet, from the
total silence maintained upon the subject by our con-
temporaries, and from our sense of its exceeding
value as a means of re-establishing cordiality between
ourselves and our colonial possessions, we revert
again thus early to the abstract merits of the pro-
position.

Before us are lying the collected documents relat•
ing to the scheme published in Portland, by order of
the Convention. From these documents we learn
in detail the excitement produced more or less
throughout the whole of the eastern provinces of
North America by the prospect of obtaining the en-
couragement of the enterprise from the heads of the
English Government. Meetings and correspon-
dence among the local inhabitants go far to '
show the interest taken in the matter by
the more
.active and intelligent members
of the population. On the 31st of last July the in-
augurative assemblage appears to have taken place in
the City Hall of Portland, previous minor meetings
having been holden, on the 24th at Kentville, on the
18th at Pictou, on the 23d at Dorchester, on the 20th
at Truro, on the 23d at Wallace, on the 23d at Pug.

statement!, where it is intimated that many engineer-
ing difficulties may be avoided by keeping in the
valleys of the Kennebecasis and the Petitcodia. Fur-

ther testimony of the reasonableness of the proposed
enterprise at the present moment might be deemed
superfluous. We shall content ourselves, conse-
quently, with reiterating the good wishes already ex-
pressed by ourselves on Friday evening, and espe-
. _. . .

cially with anticipating the beneficial consequences
which must in the end, we feel satisfied, result to the
entire system of colonial government from the mission
which has brought to England the Hon. JOSEPH
Howe, the Provincial Secretary of Nova Scotia.

FISHING EXTRAORDINARY IN THE FENS.—Ia con-
sequence of the Middle Level Drainage Works, the bed of
Whittlesea Mere is now laid dry, with the exception of a few
occasional patches, the mud retaining its softness and depth
as it was when covered with water. During the past week
a great number of men might be seen daily catching the eels
on the surface, and putting them into nets and baskets.
Many hundred stones have been thus caught. To support
themselves on the top of the mud many schemes are resorted
to, the most common being pieces of wood tied to the feet,
somewhat resembling snow shoes. With all the precautions
used, several have found themselves suddenly up to their
middle in the mud; and their efforts to get out, and the re-
sults when out, were often highly amusing, and the figures
they cut sufficiently picturesque. One man, the other day,

mails, a large freight, and 80 passengers.
THE RECENT FAILURE OF A RAILWAY BRIDGE IN
SOUTHWARK.—At a general meeting of the Commissioners
of Pavements for the east division of Southwark, held at the
board-room, 28, Back-street, Southwark, on Thursday even-
ing, the 21st November, 1850, Francis Nash, Esq.,-in the
chair, the report of Sir John Rennie and Mr. Brunel, with re-
ference to the condition of the iron bridge over Joiner.street
Tooley-street, was submitted and read, which report eon:
tained their joint and decided opinion that the bridge as
constructed was insufficient, and ought not to be replaced by
one of similar construction.

THE SMITHFIELD CATTLE SHOW.—On Saturday
the committee for the management of the Smithfield Cattle
Show issued their circulars for the approaching exhibition,
which is to take place on the 10th of December. There is
very little variation in the rule from those of preceding years,
but the notices of motion before the committee are of an
important character. The first is, that the committee of ma-
nagement (24 in number) of members of the club be chosen
annually at the general meeting, to be held previously to
the show ; the president, vice-presidents, the stewards of
the yard, and the judges of the show (who are members of
the club) are to be members of the committee ex qfficio.
Secondly, that the committee shall meet as often as neces-
sary during the year, and that the whole of the general busi-
ness of the club be subjected to the control of the commit..
tee. Mr. Hobbs will move "'hat reporters from the press
be supplied with a ticket for the annual dinner." The gates
will be closed on Saturday, the 7th of December, against
stock, and at three o'clock on the sth fbr implements, roots,
seeds, &c. The gates are to be closed against stock punc-
tually to the minute, and no stock will be admitted after ten
o'clock.

vernment are not only averse to the recent attempts, both at
home and abroad, to bring the nation under Popish subjec-
tion, but that they are determined to exercise their patronage
in thwarting such proceedings. One of the most valuable
livings in the gift of the Lord Chancellor (EsstFarleigh), the
living lately held by the Rev. H. W. Wilberforce, has just
been presented, unsolicited, to the Rev. Thomas Watson, in-
cumbent of St. Philip, Pentonville, on account of his anti.
Tractarian views. The Rev. Thomas Watson, assisted by
the Rev. Mr. Gurney, Master of Christ's Hospital, has for
many years discharged the duties of his parish so as to gain
the affection of a large and influential congregation, who,
although they must rejoice at his preferment, will greatly
lament his removal from them.

FATAL SHIPWRECK.-6n Wednesday night, about
eleven o'clock, the schooner Queen, of London, from Cardiff;
was totally lost on Phillack beach, and the whole of her
crew perished. From the size of the boat that was washed
on shore this morning entire, the vess:•l is supposed to have
been about 150 tons burden. Some of her papers were
washed ashore, and are now in possession of the Coast Guard
men stationed at Gwithian. The crew were distinctly heard
crying for assistance, but none could then be rendered.
Nothing more of the vessel or crew was seen or heard after
one o'clock this morning. Some of her bulwarks are washed
ashore.—Cornwall Gazette.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were es-
timated at 4,000 bales, comprising 3,000 American, 200
Pernam and Maranham, at Bd. to 83d.; 200 Bahia, at
Bid.; 100 Egyptian, at 84d. to 91; and 500 Surat, at
5-id. to 6d. per lb. The market closed steadily.--Rail-
way shares were dull at lower quotations.
the Brazil mail furnishes cotes from Rio de Janeiro
of Oct. 11, and from Buenos Ayres of Sept. 7. The
rate of exchange at Rio was last quoted 284. Consider-
able excitement prevailed owing to the hostile proceed-
ings of Buenos Ayres, and they injuriously affected
business. In Coffee, however, the transactions had been
of some importance, and moderate sales were made in
piece goods, but great complaints were made of the diffi-
culty of obtaining payments from the retailers. Freights
were more active.

The Buenos Ayre• report upon the state of the
markets represent trade as having been dull during the
previous month. The winter trade had been supplied,
and the preparation for the Summer bad hardly com-
menced. The days, as usual at that season, were short,
the weather was unsettled, and the roads were bad. The
stocks of goods in the warehouses were excessive, and
owing to the severe drought of the last two years,
and the fact that it had continued even up to the date
of the present advices, the consumption of imports was
materially diminished. The credit of the Government
stands higher, less of its paper being in circulation, and
a return of propitious weather would bring, perhaps,
2,000,000 head of cattle to the slaughter houses, and re-
suscitate trade in a remarkable degree.
Files of papers and numerous letters from Australia
have come to hand, and they supply fuller intermediate
news than that forwarded by the overland mail. At
Sydney, during the three or four weeks preceding the
15th July, the arrivals of merchatdike were very
large. These consisted principally of the
ordinary imports from Great Britain, and merchants,
warehousemen, and retailers, are represented as being
all freely importing. Some gold dust had been received
from California. A sounder system of trading is considered
to be imperatively necessary, otherwise the chance of profit
in the Australian markets will be destroyed. When the
wool ships arrive at Sydney, it is considered not to be
improbable that goods may be sold at less than what
they cost in London.
The American advices are satisfactory as to the state
of the money market, and cotton was cheaper.
The accounts from Canada are highly encouraging.
The Customs' revenue of Quebec will exceed the esti-
mate by 50,0001.

The very boisterous weather has interfered with the
arrival in due course of the mails from the Continent,
and at Lloyd's the losses at sea reported this morning
are very serious, while great apprehension exists that
for some days to come we shall receive intelligence of
wrecks, &c., from the boisterous gales of yesterday.
In the English Stock Market there is very little doing,
and the speech of the Kieg of Prussia is still the general
theme of discussion. The impression that it reads
warlike does not extinguish the hope that peace will be
preserved. Consols have been 96- to 97 for Transfer
and Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have realised 971 and the Three per Cents. 96
to Bank Stock has been firm at 2111 to 212. Ex-
chequer-bills are 665. to 695. premium.
The Foreign Securities have been comparatively
neglected. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 33i,
Spanish Three per Centel, are nominally 39 to 4, and
Brazilian 87 to 89. Mexican Bonds are steady at 3lf
to 311. Russian Bonds have been 1071 to 108; and
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 561 to 57.
There is a good deal doing again in Railway Shares,
and the quotations have for the most part been buoyant.
Great Northern and North Staffordshire have been
higher.
