The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000
bales, all to the trade. The market is steady, and prices
are Id. per lb. against the buyer. The sales comprised
2,500 American, 200 Pernam and Maranham, at Bd. to
Bid.; 200 Egyptian, at 81d. to 9d; and 200 Surat at sd.
to 6,1. per lb.—ln Railway Shares a good business was
done at improved rates.
In Mark-lane this morning Wheat is held very firmly,
and the foreign supplies are small.
The West Idia mails have come to hand, and we have
likewise the Chagres and Pacific letters by this oppor-
tunity. Viet New York, however, an outline of their
contents, and especially of the Californian intelligence,
cause to hand. The information from Jamaica of the
prevalence of cholera has caused considerable regret and
anxiety among parties connected with that colony.
The condition of trade in the different West India
islands was much the same as previously, but there is
still au exhibition of spirit in regard to the prosecution of
new branches of agriculture which is highly satisfactory
and promises excellent results. The cotton cultivation is
of necessity beyond every other in imrortance, and we
may hope that ere many years the staple will be ex-
tensively exported from Jamaica, Sac.
The steamer with the West India mails brings
913 000 dollars, principally in silver, and if report
speaks truly, nearly every sixpence is bespoken for
shipment to the continent, one large firm having
almost entirely engrossed it. The demand for
silver still continues, and the price is ss. Old.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.
7'O THE FDITOII OF THE SUN.
yon, in common with other journalists,
::Eve recently fallen into an error res:,ecting the real
uthorOlip of the electric light now exhibiting, I de-
upon your justice and liberality for the insertion
f the to l suing explanatory letter, which I.ffeared in
ast Saturday's edition of the Mining journal. lam
riot in any way connected with the invention itself,
.ither directly nr indirectly, and am merely induced
act in the matter as a general and determined
FOE TO PIRACY.
Monday, Nov. 18, 1850.

Sir,—Dept ndieg upon the good faith of a corres-
pondent, in whose truthfuleess of report and care in the
collection of accurate intotination you ere, doubtless,
induced to piece the fullest confidence, you have per-
mitted your columns, for the last fortnight, to be made
the vehicle for a series of remarks, and rather laudatory
criticisms, upon the so-culled invention of Mr. Fennell
Allman—the electric or voltaic light. Since the pub-
lication of the articles to which I refer, a considerable
degree of doubt has been thrown upon the genuineness
and authenticity of Mr. Fennell Allman's invention, and
the circumstance has induced me to revert to the sub-
ject, and investigate the real facts of the case, more
closely than in all probability I should otherwise have
done. The result is—and I feel bound, in common jus-
tice, to lay it before your readers—that the invention of
the voltaic light is neither more nor less than the pa-
tented invention of Mr. W. E. Staite, with whom Mr.
Petrie co operated—gentlemen whose original thoughts
and unswerving perseverance, so long and so arduously
directed to this difficult branch of practical science, are
so well known, that I feel convinced their ingenious and
successful contrivances for the development of electrical
illumination are not only familiar to your readers gene-
rally, but are by this time patent to the whole world.
The first patent, embodying the principle of self•regula-
tion, as applied to the preservation of a uniform distance
between the electrodes, was granted to Mr. Steite in
1847—the specification !appearing:in the beginning of
1848. The object of this patent was to render that
continuous which had previously been fluctuating and
inconstant; and this important end was obtained by the
employment of the dynamic power of the electric cur-
rent. This power had never before been employed in any
form for the regulation of the electric arc. The idea was
entirely due to the ingenuity of Messrs. Smite and
Petrie; and yet in the face of this fact—in the face cf
the patent granted to Mr. W. E. Staite in 1847—Mr.
Fennell Allman takes out a patent for employing this
very power, for this very purpose, in 1849, and is now
publicly exhibiting it as his own invention at the Poly-
technic Institution. Mr. Allman must be perfectly
aware of these facts, and so also must the party who
made your columns the medium for the publication of
his so-called invention.
But, perhaps, Mr. Allman will say, in defence, that
the details of his system of automatic regulation are
different from those employed by Mr. Staite. In what
respect? Do they, or do they not, operate by the dy-
namic power of the &colic current? If they do not,
your informant has furnished you with incorrect infor-
mation; and if they do, the❑ you are bound to cha.
racterise the affair as a deliberate imposition upon your-
self as a journalist, and as a palpable and unblushing
piracy upon the original invention set forth in Mr.
Staite's patent. Yours is not the only journal which has
been made the vehicle for disseminating these circum-
stantial misstatements and evasive sophistications. Most
of the daily press, not excepting eve❑ the Times, have
fallen into the same error. Perhaps it may be said by

tuperficisl thinkers that a philosophical principle can-
not be made the groundwork of a patent. True; but
the application of this principh to a useful purpose is
not only patentable, independently of any modification
of detail, but is the true and legitimate basis of almost
all the patents which pass the Great Seal.
It is certainly the basis of Mr. Staite's patented inven-
tion for the regulation of the elt.ctric light—an invention
which has been as clearly pirated, as manifestly invaded
and appropriated by Mr. Allman, as any invention could
possibly be. As you have been made the unconscious
instrument for the circulation of a gross error, so w ill
you now, I cm sure, ha the willing medium through
which its refutation may be established and made known;
and in farther justification of my present remarks, I pro-
pose next week to return to the subject, and give your
readers a few important details which have come to my
knowledge in the progress of this investigation.

ACCIDENT AT THE WORKS IN HYDE YAIIK.—
About four o'clock yesterday afternoon a melancholy acci-
dent occurred at the works in Hyde-pa..k, which has, we re-
gret to state, been attracted with fatal consequences. From
inquiries mad or, the spot it appears that at the time stated
a painter, while engaged in painting one of the iron girders
at the top of the building, at the eastern end, had the girder
break under him, and fall with him on to the scaffold under-
neath, on which several carpenters and labourers were at
work, which was broken through, and one of the carpenters
and a labourer fell with the girder and painter to the ground.
The unfortunate men were immediately picked up and placed
on stretchers and conveyed to St. George's Hospital, where
on examination it was found that the painter was dead, but
that the carpenter and labourer were still alive, although
most extensively injured.
A petition is in course of signature at Plymouth,
humbly praying " That her Majesty will be pleased to sus-
pend the Bishops of London, Exeter, and Oxford, believing
that the Protestant religion will ever be in danger so long as
those high dignitaries preside over the Established Church
in this kingdom." It is intended as a national petition. All
those who are favourable to the petition are requested to get
as many signatures as possible, and forward the same to Mr.
Latimer, George-street, Plymouth.

THE LAUNCH OF A SPANISF
WAR-FRIGATE.
Yesterday was launched, from the extensive ship-
building premises of Mare and Co., of Blackwell, the
Spanish steam-frigate Isabella Secunda, built for the
royal navy of Spain. The vessel, which is constructed
of wood, and is to be propelled with engines of 500-horse
power, by Messrs. Maudslay and Field, is of 230 feet in
length, breadth 23 feet, depth 25 feet, and of 1,565 tons
builders' measurement, is one of the finest ships turned out
of the Thames building establishments, and as a war vessel
attracted the attention and criticism of a vast multitude
who thronged the preinises of Mare and Co.
The Isabella Secunda is one of a squadron ordered
by the Spanish Government to be built in this country
(Messrs. Wigram launched another at the same time),
and will be fitted up immediately and sent over to
Spain, probably to reinforce the division at Cuba. The
launch, from a slip from which few Royal dockyard
people would ever conceive a ship to he floated, was a
I most successful one, for the vessel glided out of her
earthly tenement with a facility truly wonderful, after
she had been named by the pretty daughter of M. Za-
itieta, and amidst the clashing of appropriate strains of
the efficient bat d of the Royal Horse Guards, and the
cheers of thousands, floated in Bow Creek—a handsome
specimen of naval architecture, fully capable, without
doubt, from her seemly draft of water, of carrying the
armament designed for her, namely, 14 65-cwt. 68-poun-
ders, and two 95-cwt. pivot guns, to be mounted on gun
carriages of a new construction, which diminishes to a
considerable extent the number of men required to work
the guns.
After the launch a distinguished and brilliant company
adjourned to the mould loft of the establishment, when
to the surprise of every one the rude apartment was con-
verted into a splendid banquetting-hall, fitted up with
various flags, and otherwise most tastefully embellished.
Hero then assembled, as the guests of Mr. Mare, the
Spanish Ambassador, Id. Isturitz and suite; the Spanish
Consul-General, the Austrian Ambassador and suite,
suite of the Ottoman Embassy, Commodore Llanes, of
the Spanish navy, Mr. Anderson, M P., Captain Ford,
of the Ottoman navy, M. Zulueta, Mr. Rolt, Mr. R. N.
Pluhorn, Mr. Newbon, Mr. Macdonald, R.N., Captain
Rowland, Mr. Pepys, Mr. Laming, Mr. Brocklebank,
and about two hundred ladies and gentlemen, who par-
took of a most recherche entertainment, in the course of
which the healths of the Queens of England and Spain
were drunk with deserved enthusiasm, and other com-
plimentary toasts were given and received with due
regard and respect for the subj, ets of them, and the fes-
tivities of the occasion were prolonged to the evening.
It is worthy of notice that the Spaniards, who have
supplied this country with the best models for the Royal
navy of England, are now the most liberal customers of
the English ship-building firms of this country for the
reinforcement of their fleet of steam-vessels; and what
England won by the hardihood and enduring bravery of
her seamen over a gallant enemy—the finest ships of the
world, Spain is now acquiring from this country by her,
gold; for it is universally admitted that the best steamers
launched from the establishments of Our most eminent
naval architects have been those war steamers constructed
for the Spanish navy.

WHITTINGTON CLUB.—The members of this club
held an assembly last night, in their spacious rooms, Arundel-
street, ttrand, to celebrate the re-opening of the great room,
which had been for some time past undergoing extensive
alterations. It is now certainly a noble apartment, fitted
out with great artistic taste, and calculated, in an eminent
degree, to answer the purposes for which it was intended. It
was appropriated on this occasion as a ball-room, where the
young and beautiful of the other sex enjoyed, with their
gallant partners. the amusement of the merry dance, with
joyous hearts and pleasant thoughts, little regarding what
events, whether for good or evil, the future may bring
forth. In addition to the charms thus afforded to a large
and brilliant assembly, music and singing were intr..duced
at intervals; and in this manner did a delightful night slip,
almost unperceived, ever those who thus innocently and
k gaily enjoyed themselves.

LITERATURE.
NATHALIE ; a Tale. By Julia Kavanagh.

3 Vo/s.

Col['urn

The brilliaet historian of " Woman in France," and
the heart-touching biographer of " Madeleine of
Auvergne," has fully realized the expectations ex-
cited by those eloquent productions. " Nsthalie" is
a beautiful tele, beautifully told. It affords another
proof that the interest of a work of tictien does
not lie so much in its incidents es in its truthful de-
velopment of character. There are, of comets, ex-
ceptions to this rule. In some cases the skill of a
writer may infuse into his narrative a power of en-
thralling then attention, and holding the sympathies of
the reader spell-bound—witness "Jack Sheppard,"
for example. Nevertheless, as a general rule, we find
that the more the interest of a fictitious narrative is
concentrated, the greater is its power of enchaining
attention. Seldom have we seen this rule
more effectually exemplified than in " Natha-
ne—a tale of most fascinating interest, a
tale which it is impossible to lay aside half-read,
and in which, moreover, it is impossible to "skip,"
for every chapter, however insignificant in itself, is
an important link of the one chain. And yet in
" Nathalie" we have few persons introduced, and
few incidents ; it is, as it were, a simple record of a
few events, but in the record of those few events we
find an admirable analysis of conflicting passions, we
are furnished with a perfect study of character. In
her preface Miss Kavanagh wisely disclaims having
written with any particular object, except to draw
two very different characters, and to show how those
characters attracted, repelled, and influenced each
other. One of those characters is the heroine Na-
Oahe, the charming Nathalie, truly answering to the
oft- quoted lines on the title•page—
" A creature not too pure or good
For human nature's daily food,
For transient sorrow, simple wiles,
Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, and smiles."
Nathalie Montalieu is a native of Provence, and is
endued in no mean degree with the warmth and vi-
vacity of the south. We find her, at the opening of
the tale, an orphan, residing in Normandy, at the age
of eighteen, a governess in the school of the formal
and rigid Mademoiselle Dentin. In the neighbour-
hood of the school is the chateau of Sainville, wherein
the chief incidents of the narrative transpire. The
chateau is the property of a Monsieur de Sainville,
a somewhat peculiar but exquisitely-drawn character.
The heir of an ancient and ruined family, he had de-
voted the best years of his life to the liquidation of
his father's debts and the restoration of his house. This
arduous undertaking, and a disappointment in early
life, having heightened the natural pride and stern-
ness of his character, we find him, on our introduc-
tion to him, no longer very young, and the object
of mingled respect, admiration, and dread of
all around him—rigidly just end exact
in the fulfilment of every duty, and hiding under a
veil of impenetrable reserve the natural emotions of
an affectionate but morbidly sensitive temperament.
In the chateau of Monsieur de Sainville we find his
widowed sister, Madame Marceau, or, as she in her
pride persists in styling herself, Madame Mai ceau de
Sainville. The character of this designing lady is most
skilfully depicted. Her thoughts are all corcentrated
in one object—her darling wish is to have her sun, the
son of the plebeian Marceau (whom she had conde-
scended to espouse in the days of her father's misfor-
tunes), recognized as;the heir of the restored house of
Sainville, and called by that ancient and noble name.
But Charles Marceau is unworthy of such a distinc-
tion, and is no favourite with his uncles At the com-
mencement of the story young Marceau has been
struck with the grace and beauty of one of
the inhabitants of the neighbouring school, the
charming Nathalie. The young girl, however,
with her native pride and impetuosity refuses to read
his letters cr listen to his suit. Not discoureged, he
finds means to penetrate into Mademoiselle Dantin's
garden while the young governess is taking a
solitary walk. The tete-ci-tote, so unwelcome to the
indignant Natbalie, is interrupted by. the arrival of the
rigid schoolmistress, who forthwith prepares to expel
her innocent but suspected teacher. Monsieur de
Sainville's love ofjustice comes to her rescue. Hear-
ing of his nephew's imprudence and of its unforunase
results to Nathalie, he commissions his sister to *Ale
the young girl under her protection and to invite her
to Sainville during the absence of Charles. So
Nathalie comes to the chateau and the real story
commences. She remains in company with Madame
Marceau and aunt Radegoude, a delightful
old lady, who calls her " Petite," and soon
wins her affection. And noiv our attention
is excited to observe the two contrasting characters of
Nathalie and her host as they mutually " attract,
repel, and influence " each other. To the stern, re-
served Monsieur de Sainville, the childish naivete,
the petulance and frankness of the vivacious and
piquante Provencale are irresistible,—
" Her heart upon her lips,
Her soul within her eyes,
Soft as her native clime,
And sunny as its skies."
At the same time the apparent indifference of her re-
served host exercises a peculiar fascination upon
Nathalie. "Itis a dangerous thing," as she herself
observes, " for a woman to find she can be y oung and
pretty in vain." Having said thus much of the plot,
we must leave its unravelment to the skilful pen of
Miss Kavanagh. A main part of the interest is oc-
casioned by the intrigues of the crafty Madame Mar-
ceau, who, after endeavouring to seclude Nathalie from
her son, having a more brilliant marriage in view
for him, discovers that in guarding against one peril
she has involved herself in another, and one more
disastrous. Better, far better, that the plebeian girl,

SEA AND FIRE LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY.—Yes-
terday his Honour Master Tinney was attended by Mr.
Ernest, the official manager, and by Messrs. Galsworthy,
solicitors to the estate, on the subject of the claims of credi-
tors, which amount altogether to about 12,0001. A large
number of persons connected with ship insurances and at
Lloyd's are concerned in the settlement of the affairs, and au
important question arises between the Port of London As-
surance-office and this company as regards au alleged amal-
gamation of the two undertakings. The petitioner for
winding-up, Mr. J. Richardson, states on affidavit that its
promoter absconded and left England in April, and that the
business, which commenced in 1849, after incurring various
liabilities, was discontinued in May, 1850. A call of 20s. per
share was made by the directors on the proposed capital of
100,0001., but a large portion of the shareholders refused to
pay it. Negotiations are going on with the late solicitors of
the company for the delivery up of the books and papers, on
which they allege they have a lien of 5,0001.
GREAT EXHIBITION AND THE RAlLWAYS.—Ae-
cording to the Railway Commissioners returns published in
in July last, it appears that nearly 29 millions ofjourneys
of 15 miles each were made during the half year ending
the 30th June, 1849. It is calculated, therefore, that if the
Exhibition gives rise during the first half-year of 1851 to
only 10 millions additional journeys of 15 miles, it will in-
crease the net income of the railways 731 per cent. This
cannot be considered an immoderate estimate, when it is
thought how numerous our foreign visitors will be, and that
many of them on their visit to the Exhibition will avail
themselves of this opportunity to see the other portions of
railway proprietors may consider that the crisis is
the United Kingdom. It is to he hoped, therefore, what with
with confidence look forward to better divi-
anididmaamyore healthy state of things in 1851.

upon whom she looks with scorn, should become the
bride of her beloved son than that he should be de-
prived of the coveted inheritance by the marriage of
his uncle. Added to the obstacles which these plots
and counterplots throw in the course of Na-
thalie's true love, her own peculiar temperament, so
impassioned and impetuous, and, withal, so full of
womanly spirit, involves her in many cruel misunder-
standings with her proud and exacting lover. The
evil consequences of that apparently innocent passion
—pride—are very admirably set forth in the develop-
ment of this tale. Both De Sainville and Natha-
lie exhibit this feeling in a different manner
but an equally excessive degree. The one outwardly
calm and severe, but acutely sensitive, takes offence
at a very nothing; the other, with all her southern
frankness and tenderness, is possessed of a woman's
pride, not easily aroused, but when aroused, bitter
and unforgiving. Let it not be supposed, however,
that Nathalie's is a vindictive nature. Full of natu-
rkl faults, ber character is also full of natural beauties.
We watch her with feelings somewhat like those of
her half-sister Rose, when she admired while she
chided, and listened with sympathy, instead of anger,
to the artless revealings of a heart whose vehement
passion her disciplined mind reproved. Contrasted
with the impetuous Nathalie, Rosa is a beautiful con-

templation. Her life is passed in unremitting attend-
ance on an irritable, exacting relative, and with
her patience indeed has its perfect work. Some of
the scenes between the sisters, where Nathalie
pours her troubles and joys into the bosom of the
sister who holds to her a mother's place, are most
beautiful. Now calm and desperate in her di.ap-
pointment, and now radiant with sunny smiles of joy,
the ardent Provencale hurries from the chateau to
visit Rose's humble roof, and Rote with gentle
sympathy listens, chides, end eomforts. We might
select mans passages as evidences of the depth of
feeling and eloquence of style which abound in " Na-
thalie;" we have, however, given sufficient iodica-
tions of the interesting nature of this very delightful
book. The half-dozen characters who fill the fore-
most places are depicted with so much of life-like
fidelity that they are worth a whole gallery of ill-
drawn portraits. The incidents, although few, are
so naturally drawn out, and the revelation of feeling
is so fraught with tenderness and truth, that the
readers of " Nathalie" cannot fail to admire the
authoress while they love the heroine, and thereby to
incur a ;debt of gratitude to both for• the pleasure
afforded by their acquaintance through three volumes.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF' Tills DAY.
ADVERIIts:EII.—We publish to-day the more im-
portant portions of a document, which a ill be read with
intense interest in all parts of the community. It is tie
pamphlet of Cardinal %Visewau, the rawly-appointed
Popish " Archbishop" of Westminster, which has been
announced vs on the eve of making its appearance for
some days past. The document is ushered into existence
in the form of an" Appeal" to the people of Eriglaad, in
reference to the commotion which has been caused in
this country by the recent Papal aggressions. It
would be unjust to withhold from Dr. Wiseman's.
pamphlet the praise of great learning and ability ;
but, when we say this much, we roust add, that it is,
from beginning to end, a piece of special pleading. It
begs tae question throughout. It assumes certain things,
arid proceeds to argue on them as it' they were either
self-evident or admitted facts. The impress of an ac-
complished Jesuit is visible in every page. The " Ap-
peal" is ushered into notice by several pages of intro-
ductory matter. In the introductory observations the
cloven foot of Popery, as an aggressive system, is so mani-
fest, that no one can fail to perceive it. There is a bold-
ness in the introduction which fully prepares us for the
audacity which is throughout exhibited in the body of
the pamphlet. In the outset of the " Appeal," Dr.
Wiseman makes a very important admission. He does
not, it is true, make this admission directly, but no one
who reads the passage to which we allude, can help
coming to the conclusion that it is made by implication.
" The Established Church of England," says he, " looks
upon the new constitution, accorded by the Holy See
to Catholics, as a rival existence." "The new constitu-
tion!" The words are pregnant with meaning. The
partition of England into Popish dioceses is, indeed, a
new constitution. It is one hitherto unknown in this
country. No writer on the Constitution of England ever
dreamt of a second constitution. We have been accus-
tomed to think and speak of only ono constitution. We
are now, if the Church of Rome is to have her own way,
to have two constitutions in England—of one of which
Queen Victoria is the head, and the other recognising
the supremacy of the Pope. Both, it is clear, cannot
coexist together. It is for the people of England
to say which of the two constitutions they
are to have—that which has existed for so
many generations, and been productive of so much
glory and happiness to these realms, or that which has
just been inaugurated by a bull from the Roman Pontiff.
Dr. Wiseman is guilty of what looks very like an inten-
tional misrepresentation of the facts of the case, when,
in the very next sentence, he says that the agitation
against the recent Papel aggressions has been lately
subsiding into a mere clerical and parochial movement.
It a man will have the cool effrontery to pen a sentence
like this, in the face of facts which so notoriously and
explicitly speak the very opposite language, he must not
be surprised if we regard him as capable of proceeding
to any lengths in the pathway of moral mendacity. Dr.
Wiseman, we unhesitatingly assert, must know that he
does not speak in consonance with the dictates of truth,
when he says that the present anti-Popish agitation is
kept up by the clergy, and is confined to parochial
cliques. We fearlessly affirm, that never iu the his-
tory of agitations, in this or any other land, was
there a movement more thoroughly national than that
which now convulses this country. It is the most
popular movement, by far, which has been witnessed in
our day. Men of all classes and of all grades in so-
ciety vie with each other in the ardour in which they
engage in it. So far from being a clerical or parochial
agitation, the clergy and parochial authorities play a
very subordinate part in it. The meetings, crowded to
suffocation, no less than the enthusiasm displayed,
wherever assemblies of her Majesty's subjects take place
to express their opinion on the question. attest in
manner not to be misunderstood the thoroughly national
character of the agitation. The people of England, not
the clergy, are the parties who have got up and keep
up this anti-Popish movement. And that Dr. `iceman,
and those who choose to indorse his flagrant mis-
statements, will find to their cost. This a clerical and
parochial agitatiou! We are appalled at the audacity
which in open day could venture on such an asserticia
Does, then, this newly-fledged " Archbishop" mean to
say hat the clergy. and parochial functionaries are
also tae instigators and props of the unti-Popish agita-
tion, which is kept up in the press, es well as at public
meetings? Does he mean to say that cur contempora-
ries and ourselves are operated upon by clerical inflei-
nces? We scarcely know whether to regard the auda-
city of the Pcpe, in making his recent aggressions on
England, or the mendacity of Dr. Wiseman. in making
an attack so notoriously at variance with the truth, as
the most consummate in their way. The two Qcclesias-

tics are worthy of each other. Like master, like mar_.
Or, rather, the man surpasses his master. The cardinal
beats the Pope hollow, inasmuch as to the attribute of
et-front: Ty, he adds the quality of an utter disregard for
the truth. Like a genuine practised Jesuit, Dr. Wise-
man, in a few paragraphs further on, proceeds to try
the effect of a dose of flattery on the people of England.
Ile labours with all the skill of which he is master to
put them off their guard against the designs of
Popery, by a piece of adroit cajolery. " What
resource," says he, after describing the imaginary
injustice which Government and the press have done
the Roman Catholics, or will yet do them—" what re-
source have we yet left ? What hope of justice ?" His
Eminence answers his own questions. " One," says he,
" in which, after God's unfailing Providence, we place
unbounded confidence. There still remain the manly
sense and honest heart of a generous people ; that love
of honourable dealing and fair play, which, in joke or in
earnest, is equally the instinct of an Englishman ; that
hatred of all mean advantage taken, of all base tricks
and paltry claptraps and party cries employed to hunt
down even a rival foe." The people of England are not
to be bamboozled by the flattery of Dr. Wiseman.
They will not be misled by his cajolery. As they are
not to be frightened from the path of duty by the
thunders of the Vatican, so neither will they be allured
from it by the blandishments, either of Cardinal
Wiseman or of his master in the Quirinal. Thoy are
now fairly aroused to the perils to which not only their
Protestantism, but their civil liberties are exposed,
and they will not rest until they have disabled the
Popish monster. Dr. Wiseman hurls defiance at the
Protestant people of these realms. His manifesto is
not only, in many parts, audacious, but insolent. He
challenges us to the combat. We accept the challenge.
We are prepared for the conflict. Vie fear not the issue.
So far from being discouraged by the effrontery and
mendacity which he displays in his pamphlet, we re-
joice that ho has thrown off the mask. We now know
what we have to deal with. We discern, in this docu-
ment, the same spirit of persecution which the Romish
Church has ever shown, as clearly as in any page of
Popish history. In the " rights," as be calls them,
which the Roman Catholics claim for themselves, and
the arrogant tone in which he urges them, we see that
which, were Popery again in the ascendant in this
e"unrY, would rekindle the fires of Smithfield, or
bring the present Lord John Russell to the block, as
it brought Lord William Russell to the scaffold about

COPYING ELECTRIC TELEGARPH.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—The fairness which characterises the general
management of the Times, will probably dispose you
to comply with my request by the publication of the
following rectification of a paragraph, entitled
" Copying Electric Telegraph," which appeared in
your journal of Thursday last :
This paragraph claims for a Mr. Bakewell the in-
vention of a copying telegraph, which is described
in it.

I beg to inform you that the invention there de-
scribed is neither new nor Mr. Bakewell's. It is taken
substantially from the specification of a patent ob-
tained by me, in 1843, for the same invention, which
1 had completed in the preceding year, and for which
I also obtained patents in other countries. - A com-
parison of the statement in the Times of Thursday,
with the specification enrolled at the Patent-office, in
Chancery-lane, will establish to the satisfaction of any
inquirer the truth of what I now state.

The copying telegraph is, in fact, only a variety
of my electro-chymical telegraph, which is at present
daily transmitting intelligence over upward of .3,000
miles in the United States. It was, indeed, lately
noticed in your journal of the 23d and 24th of Oc-
tober that the New York Herald received by this
means about thirty times as much telegraphic intelli-
gence as the Times itself usually receives by electric
telegraph.
My copying telegraph is capable of transmitting
not only manuscripts written with all the characters
of the autograph, but also of delineating at a distance
any figure whatever which can be traced by drawing,
stamping, &c.
Thus, a paper profile of a fugitive could, by its
means, be transmitted in a few moments to all the
ports of the kingdom to which the telegraphic wires
extend. _

It is true this particular application of my patent
chymical telegraph has not yet been put in practice,
because it requires greater accuracy in the machi-
nery and more perfect insulation of the wire where
great distances are to be attained than have yet been
realised.

But sufficient has been done by me to show that
these difficulties are not insurmountable, and I trust
the day is not far distant when a merchant in London
can take a penholder in his hand, write a letter of
advice or a commercial order, which will be instantly
committed to paper in Paris, or Vienna.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
ALEXANDER BAIN.

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY.

We are r' quested to insert the following copy. of a
letter addressed to the chairman and directors of the
Electric Telegrsph Company:—
" London, Nov. 16, 1650.

" Gentlemen,—We understand that the indictment
preferred against us, at your instance, for an expression
deemed to be libellous in our letter published in the
Morning Herald of the 11th of October, 1849, will be
tried in the Court of Qaeen's Bench immediately after
the present term.
" We, therefore, think it right to announce most dis-
tinctly that it was not our intention to assert in= ny man-
ner that you or any person connected with your estab-
h-hmint used our ssage of the 27th July, 1848, or
any other communication received or transmitted by us
through the Electric Telegraph, for stockjobbing pur-
poses.
" The object of this letter is to put it to you whether,
after this declaration, you will think it necessary for
your own vindication (which is all you can pdasib!y
want), to proceed any further with the indictment, or
whether you will not be disposed to consider that the
heavy expense we have sustained in your application to
the Court of Queen's Bench for a criminal information,
is an adequste infliction for an expression used under
circumstances of irritation.

" If you should take this view of the question, and
abandon the prosecution, you have our full authority fur
publishing this letter, without comment.
" We are, &c., &c.,
"V+ lI.LMER and SMITE."

DAILY NEWS.—We have not had time to cast more
than a glance at Cardinal Wiseman's rejoinder to his
numerous foes ; but have seen enough to admit that
some of them have caught a tartar. Never were blows
dealt. with more hearty good-will. Ilis Monsignoreship
is evidently no slumbering, mumbling, dozing son of the
Church, clad in purple, and fed with lucerne; but a busy,
worldly, go-a-head son of fp acute and an industrial
age. He has evidently emerged trom no cloister, nor
from the deck of any antiquated administration. The
Cardinal, cardinal though he be, is one of us. and one
not of our effete or dandy classes, but a terra filius, who
has touched the mother earth of common lite, and learned
rude-thoughtedness with his vet nacular. Cardinal
Wiseman, we see, claims to be an Englishman, and no
mien. His stale, his rudeness, his herd hits, and his
plain sense certainly go far to prove that he is
neither a Spaniard nor an Italian. The document
that we print is manifestly the work of a slashing
English reviewer, not of a Roman casuiA; and the entire
vein of thought arid of expression, savour far more
strongly of the man of tha world, than the servant of
the Church. Dr. Pussy has ten times more unction,
more beatitude, more Jesuitry, and, without the red
hat, far more Popery about him. But although the
Pope has had the sagscity to come amongst us in the
unusual garb of a man of the advanced world, with a
bold aspect, a fertile invention, and a nisi), pen, the
Pope's agent is not the less but rather more to be feared
and dealt with carefully. His professions in this book
are those of great humility. The Queen has no more
loyal subject, the public nu more respectful aspirant f)r
favour. If he became a cardinal it was not cf his seek-
ing, and if of Westminster, it was of necessity not fore-
knowledge. The Pope's claim and his own to administer
ell the spiritual, and no small portion of the temporal,
affairs of England, aro merely phrases, to which none save
an Anglican bishop would take offence. Catholics can-
not worship without bishop; and the Emancipation Act,
which allowed freedom of the one, sanctioned the full
development or the otter. On the subject of his title,
authority, and precedence, the Cardinal says little, ex-
cept that his pretensions ate the result of circumstances,
the natural and foreseen consequences of the Emancipa-
tion Act, the inevitable and concomitant of any tolera-
tion of the Roman Catholic religion. We regret to see
how strongly this line of argument goes to strengthen
the power of the fanatics, and to induce statesmen to
look backward in the cause of religious _equality and
tolerance. In this point of view we cannot but look
upon the pamphlet as an unfortunate and further step
in that way of provocation which has kindled religious
animosity throughout the land. There never was a
more direct challenge, a more glaring outrage on that
decorum of mutual respect w hich all Christian sects
lbould hear each other, than the Ball, which heralded
Bishop Wiseman to the assumption of what was evidently
marked out as the supreme ecclesiastical authority in
England. To the arrogance of the Church dignitary—
to the assumption of the Roman Prince—is now strangely
and offensively added the sneering satire of the pam-
phleteer, mocking the cathedral service at Westminster,
and descending to "pull caps" or mitres with the bishops
of the Established Church. Into the arguments of Car-
dinal Wiseman's pamphlet. we have now no time to enter.
But we could not present it to our readers without some
remarks upon its general tenor, and without giving the
ression made by its first and hasty perusal.

FEMALE EMIGRATION FUND.—lntelligence hes
been received by yesterday's overland mail of the safe arrival
in Australia of the two ships first dispatched with emigrants
under the auspices of Mr. Sidney Hertert's fund. The Cul-
loden arrived at Port Philip on the 6th of July, and the
immigrants were most favourably received by the colonists;
the ladies' committee that undertook to provide for their re
ception expressing the utmost satisfaction at the arrival of
a party so well selected and so admirably suited for a colonial
career. The girls, thirty- eight in number, were landed at
Melbourne on the Bth of July, and the Melbourne Argus of
the 11th of July states that thirty-one of them bad then
been engaged, at wages varying from 121. to 201. a year.
Subsequent advices state that every one of the girls had
obtained excellent situations, and that if 200 of them
had been sent out they would all have had good places. The
ship Duke of Portland, which sailed on the Bth of April,
arrived at Adelaide, all well, on the 2d day of August. fhe
female emigrants, 6a in number, bad conducted themselves
with great propriety throughout the voyage. All who were
destined for Adelaide were landed safely and well, and
every one of them obtained eligible situations within six
days. Their cleanly and healthy appearance seems to have
impressed the colonists ve!), greatly in their favour; in-
deed, both at Port Phillip and Melbourne this immigration
appears to have given the greatest satisfaction. The Het-
bourne Argus says—" The girls appear to belong to a class
of immigrants peculiarly adapted to this colony, being young,
healthy, and intelligent, and apparently possessed of that
happy buoyancy of mind, and hearty determination of pur-
pose, whieh will enable them to act well their part in any of
the many situations of usefulness which lie so invitingly.lee-
fore them."

TILE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND FOREIGN TITLES.

" To Earl Bathurst,—My Lord,- I enclose two letters, ti,dd

of the Netherlands, in which-hie Majesty signifies his inten-
tion to confer upon me the titleof Prince of Waterloo, acc.,,
tizc., and the order of William. I beg your Lordship will be
pleased to lay these papers before his Royal Highness the
Prince Regent, and ask his permission to accept the honour
proposed to be conferred upon me by the King of the

CARDINAL WISEMAN'S APPEAL.--The Spptarsnce
in the mor,ing journals of the above Appeal, it would seem,
has caused the :hop of Itests. Richardson, in Fleet-street,
the publishers of the Carlinal's pamphlet, to be absolutely
besieged by persons who were anxious to obtain a copy of
that work, in the convenient form in which their firm have
brought it out.
FOREIGN HORSES.—lmportations of horses from
the Continent are now taking place by the steamers from
France and Belgium. The vessel Fame, from Calais, has
brought seven horKs as part of her cargo, consigned; and
the steamer Princess Victoria, arrived trom Ant%%erp, has
brought tl horses, if Belgian production, consigned to order.

PATENT LAW REFORM.—The Committee appointed
by the society of Arts held their first meeting Yesterday
at the society's house, in the Adelphi. The members of
the committee present were the Right Honourable Thomas
Milner Gibson, M.P., Mr. Henry T. Hope, M.P., Mr.
George Brace, Mr. Richard Prosser, of Birmingham; Mr.
Bennett Woodcroft, Mr. Peter le Neve Foster, Mr. 3. H.
Elliott, and Dr. Forbes Boyle. The committee were unani-
mous in their affirmation of the following principles:-1.
" Inat inventors, designers, &c., ought not to be subjected to
any other expenses than such as may be absolutely necessarY
to secure to them the protection of their invetrions." 2.
" That the difficulties and anomalies experienced in con-
n• xion with patents should be removed." And they resolved
to prepare a Bill embodying their views with as little delay
as possible.
The installation or Cardinal Wiseman will take
place in about ten days' time, and it is arranged that the
