with Mr. BULTEEL'S complaint that the humbler or-
ders of the clergy are left at the " arbitrary will of
their superiors," without the power to help themselves ;
and would gladly see a reform effected in this respect,
and the despotic—and in a great degree, irresponsible
—authority of the Bishops reduced within just and be-
coming limits. In the course of this sermon, which is
as remarkable for its boldness as its eloquence, the
Rev. Gentleman indulged in the following stinging
comments on Doctor PDILLPOTTS'S ecclesiastical ca-
reer :—" His zeal has prompted him to run to the
extent of what the law allows him ; and in the per-
formance of his episcopal functions, he has the merit
of having deprived more clergymen of their licenses,
and of having pronounced more ecclesiastical cen-
sures, than perhaps all the other Bishops together."
Doctor PRILLPOTTS is, indeed, the model of a stiff-
necked Prelate, such as LAUD was. He rules his dio-
cese as NAPOLEON ruled France, with an iron hand,
allowing neither freedom of thought nor action among
his clerical subordinates ; and possesses every aposto-
lical recommendation except meekness, charity, and
toleration of nature.

The important benefit which Captain Bommcx,
R.N., has, for the second time, conferred on the in-
terest of the Channel navigation, by re-erecting on
the " treacherous Goodwins" a beacon and a refuge,
for the double purpose of warning vessels of the
dangerous vicinity they are approaching, and of
affording a temporary refuge to the unfortunate
mariners whose devoted vessels may have perished on
those fatal sands, we are happy to find becoming
duly appreciated. A nobler object was never achieved
with more intense constancy of purpose, under almost
every species of discouragement; and few more effec-
tive services, by the aid of very limited means, hare
ever been rendered to humanity at large. The day
will come, we may now trust, when this "infamous
locality "—the theatre of so many disastrous ship-
wrecks, the grave of so many gallant hearts, the de-
struction of so many braie vessels, although it will
still be in the direct track, as it were, of the trade
of the Port of London with all the world, will be as
readily and easily avoided, by night as well as by
day, as the surge-lashed rocks that sustain the
Eddystone or the Whitehaven lights. But we are
reminded by this prompt and happy remedy of the
destruction of its predecessor—occasionel by some
foreign merchant craft 'coming in collision with it—
that the application of Captain BuLLocres ingenious
principle, as developed in the foundation of his
beacon on a quicksand is likely to be carried out in
fortifications, to bo erected in the immediate vicinity
of this beacon, and at many other analogous stations
along the coast, for the purposes both of defence and
of offence. Our readers cannot have forgotten the
important evidence incidentally given by his Grace
the Duke of WELLINGTON in his examination before
the Committee of the House of Commons on Har-
bours of Refuge. His Grace demonstrated that, in
the present defenceless state of our coasts—of those
more particularly at the south-eastern extremity of
England—it 'would be possible, at any time, for the
French (having that advantage of geographical posi-
tion which places them, in relation to ourselves,
" with the sun at their, backs") to see, from their
heights on the coasts of Picardy or Normandy, al-
most every vessel which entered or quitted the mouth
of the Thames ; and that French steamers, by running
down on these merchantmen, might, if unopposed by
certain precautionary measures, most seriously injure
and cripple the whole trade of the Port of London. It
was after this evidence had been given that the Prince
DE JOINVILLE published his celebrated pamphlet. We
are far from arguing that " post hoc, ergo proptes
hoc :" but still there are some remarkable coincidences
between these sagacious forecastings of his Grace
and the preliminary hypothesis assumed by his Royal
Highness the French Prince, in order to found the
plan of hostile operations against England which he
conditionally advocates. For it is but fair to remark
that the Prince is wronged by those who do na keep
this fact in sight. He can, with no show of reason
or candour, be said to have instigated the state of
things to which his hypothesis applies. " Given," he
says, "certain conditions of facts, as—the outbreak
of a war between France and Great Britain ;—then
the course of action it would be proper for the former
to adopt v o 1d ho whet I am about to tiesorib." The
Prince, at the outset, admits that not only could not
the French naval force for a long time hope to corn •
pete with that of England, without signal discomfi-
ture, but that, if it engage in the contest at all, it
must do so at the inevitable price of severe defeats at
the commencement, and of exciting in our own people
the most enormous and instantaneous efforts for the
organisation_ of a force of still more overwhelming
disproportion, as to the marine of France, than that
which at present exists. But he is of opinion that
armed French steamers, well manned and worked,
and carrying detachments of troops on board, might
wage a species of privateering warfare on our com-
merce, of which the mischief and annoyance would
be ultimately its destruction. Now this notion, we
have no doubt, is a well-founded one. The theory on
which it proceeds omits only the important element
of countervailing forces. If France, with her infant
steam-marine, so small in its numerical, so inferior in
its material, force—could make a very serious impres-
sion on the commerce, vex the coasts and harass the
outports of England; what would be the annihilation
which England, with a war-steamer navy so vast,
and of armament so terrible, as that which sails under
the QUEEN'S commission, would pour over the coast-
ing and foreign trade of France, and launch against
her ports and arkenals By a recent survey of the
Commission appointed by our Government, to report
on the tonnage, equipment, and capacity of adaptation
to the character of war-steamers, of the steam-boats
belonging to some few of our own ports having the
largest home and carrying trade, it was found, a few
weeks ago, only, that of between 100 and 200 such
steamers not less than 67 could be immediately con-
verted into steam-frigates and war-steamers of various
ratings, and the most complete and powerful arma-
ment ; and that of the remainder, the larger propor-
tion of those employed as tugs in the towage in and
out of harbour of merchantmen, might with equal
facility be rendered most formidable gun-boats. We
feel, therefore, as little apprehension about the scheme
of the Prince DE JOINYILLB, and attribute to it as
little efficiency as—we are convinced he himself
does. But we shall not cease, with the most earnest
solicitude, to press upon the Government the fact,
that not a day ought to be lost in carrying out the
plan of defending our coasts, in conformity with the
recommendation of the Duke of WELLoorox, and
other the highest authorities.
The ingenious project to which we have k lifteh
had occasion to recur, of erecting forts, or log-
houses, with even barracks attached, on screw-pile
iron foundations, seems to be now adjudged quite
feasible. We trust to see it carried into immediate
execution. If any still doubt of the possibility of
constructing them, as it is proposed to do, on such
dangerous points as the Goodwin Sands themselves

or other coasts adjacent to estuaries, like that of the
Thames, by forcing the metal piles through the sands
till they become embedded in the stratum beneath it,
the successful experiment of Captain BuLLocx on
these very Goodwins, by throwing down chalk ballast
till the mass has found a bearing base, and so conso-

propose the best means of satisfying those claims—and,
conformably to the advice of my Council of Ministers, I
have decreed that which follows :

" Art. 1. The conversion into titles of the Three per
Cent. Consolidated Debt, authorised by my royal decree
of the 26th of June of the present year, to the creditors
who have contracted to advance money, is applicable to
the Treasury Bonds issued in virtue of the law of the 29th
of March, 1842.

"Art. 2. The conversion of the bonds shall be effected
at the rate of 32 per cent., or at the rate of 312- rials of
nominal value, into titles fur every 100 rials in bonds
that the Treasury' shall receive.
"Art. 3. The interests granted to the bonds shall be
reckoned unto the 30th of June last, whatever series
they may belong to, and those interests shall be cumu-
lated with their respective capital
" Art. 4. The creditors, holders of bonds, remain sub-
jected to all the other terms: established in my aforesaid
royal decree of the 26th of June, respecting the cre-
ditors who. have, by contract, advanced money ; and, in
the event of some of the former not accepting those
terms, they shall wait, as has been determined with re-
gard to the latter, under such circumstances, until the
Cortex propose the means of satisfying their claims.
" Art. 5. The Government shall report to the Cortes,
in the approaching session, the provisions of the present
decree.

The Clamor Publico states that the arrests recently
effected are connected with a vast conspiracy which
was to have broken out at the new town of Grao.
Four columns of _Englishmen and Poles were to have
moved to that point (!) Among the persons arrested
were the Alcade of Grao, MuNoz, residing at Va-
lencia, and other individuals, at whose dwellings pro-
hibited arms have been seized."

The Three per Cents. were done at 281 for cash,
and at 29 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 21i
at 60 days; and the Floating Debt at 66 for the 30th
of September, with one per cent. premium.

The accounts published yesterday, stating that the
Prince de JoinveLLE had refused, for some reason or
other, to visit Toulon, acoording to promise, turn out
correct, as will be seen from the following announce.
ment in the ilioniteur of Tuesday :—" A telegraphic
dispatch from Cherbourg was received last night by
the Minister of Marine and Colonies, which announced
that the steam corvette the Pluto, carrying the flag of
his Royal Highness the Prince de JOINVILLE, had ap-
peared that day in view off the harbour at half-past
twelve o'clock, and continued its route to Havre. His
.Royal Highness had left Cadiz on the 22d, after hav-
ing received the last official accounts of the operations
which had been regularly effected for the evacuation
of the island of Mogadore, operations which were ter-
minated on the 16th, and after having attended per-
sonally to the successive departure for Toulon of the
ships and other vessels comprising the squadron which
had been placed under his orders." The Prince, it
appears, left Cherbourg without delay, and reached
Paris on Tuesday afternoon. Several of the Opposi-
tion papers state that a bad feeling was displayed by
certain of the officers present at the review on Sun-
day. Six officers, they say, of different corps, pre-
sented to the KING complaints against the omission of
their names from the list of promotions in the Legion
of Honour, then about to be made. The complaints
were received, but immediately after the review the
complainants were put under arrest. It is added that
these officers had previously made their colonels ac-
quainted with the step they were about to take."
The same journals are sadly annoyed at the visits
of Lord PALMERSTON to several continental Courts,
and, above all, at his expected visit to Louis Put-
lams. The Siecle makes the following remarks on
the subject :--
" The members of the late Whig Ministry have given
each other a rendezvous in Paris. The visit of Lord
Lansdowne is to be succeeded by that of Lord Palmer-
ston. Lord Lansdowne was received by the King, who
gave him a most gracious reception. We have no objec-
tion to this exchange of politeness. Lord Lansdowne is
a benevolent and enlightened man, who is highly and
generally estimated. In the crisis of 1840, he belonged
tout traction of the Ministry which retarded, as far as it
could, the rupture between the two Governments, and
which we can only reproach with weakness. If the
energy of those statesmen had equalled their good dis-
positions, Lord Palmerston would never have had the
opportunity he had of setting Europe in a blaze. But
it was the bad fortune of France at that period to have
friends without courage, while her enemies were suffi-
ciently active and resolute. Lord Palmerston will fol-
low close upon the heels a 'Lordt.ansdowne, and though
by coma-rot oaspcob a favourable recepttui,, he will imme-
diately present himself at Neuilly. This persevering
enemy of France wishes to prove to Louis Philippe, that
though people have said so, he is not the personal enemy
of his Majesty. The demonstration is of little conse-
quence to us ; but, for the sake of trial], we must say that
it has little chance of success. Protestations signify: no-
thing, when they disagree with the conduct of the indi-
vidual. But it is notorious that Lord Palmerston, during
his stay at Brussels, laboured, from sheer hatred to
France, to bring about a good understanding between
Belgium and Prussia. Louis Philippe cannot, in his
conscience, be pleased with this. Let us add that M.
Guizot, having bound up his ministerial existence with
that of the Tory Ministry, will certainly not enter into
an arrangement with Lord Palmerston. It is therefore
only a spectacle which ho wishes to place before us, but
it is one not without interest. It is curious, under a Go-
vernment which goes down on its knees before the whole
world, to see the Englishman who did us the greatest
possible injury, endeavouring to come again to good
terms with the Revolution of July."
The following are miscellaneous extracts from the
Continental papers :
" M. Guizot has been indisposed for the last six days
with an attack of the larynx, which has caused some un-
easiness. He was better yesterday, and it is hoped that
he will be able to undertake the journey to England."
The Courier Francais says :—" Marshal Bugeaud will
not become a Peer of France. He has written—' You
offer me a dukedom and the peerage. There is in this
offer a contradiction or inconsistency (non sena). If, as
I believe, there is a wish to reward me, let me be created
a duke ; but until I am put on the retired list I will re-
main a deputy.' "
"If we are well-informed," says the Preset, "the
principal modifications intended to be made in the con-
stitution of Spain aro the following :—From being elec-
tive, the Chamber of Proceres will become lifehold, like
our Chamber of Peers. The renewal of the Chamber of
Procuradores will take place every five years, like our
Chamber of Deputies. The National Guard *ill be en-
tirely reorganised. In fine, these modifications will be
voted as, in 1830, were our modifications in the Charter
of 1845."

,
lidated itself as to bear perfectly well being worked
upon, at is surface above the level of the sea, this

experiment ought to satisfy any such misgivings
on their part. It tends to prove that the mass depo-
sited has subsided down to the firm stratum ; and thus,
the ultimate results of an experiment dictated by an
active humanity, intent on the rescue of a few ship-
wrecked mariners, bids fair to determine in the
acquisition of a site for one of those coast defences,
the deficiency of which has long been one of the most
signal and natural disadvantages that, in time of war,
we hare had to contend with. It is because we want

to postpone to the most distant day possible—if we
may not wholly avert—the :calamity of a war be-
tween the two greatest nations of Europe, that we

A Constantinople letter of the 11th ult., in a Ger-
man paper, says--,-,
" Yesterday the Sultan and Ali the Ministers Yreht to
the School of Medicine of Galata Serail, to be present,
as in former years, at the examinations previous to the
vacation. Although the distance between his palace and
this establishment is by no moans considerable, and the
roads are net very well calculated fur carriages, since
there is an enormous hill to mount, he nevertheless, con-
trary to his custom, preferred going in his carriage. He

drawn by four horses, Which ho drove himself, though
they were attended by several grooms on foot, who

would recommend the accomplishment of truly na-
tional works like these in a time of peace.

The Madrid Gazette of the 25th ult. contains the
following decree for the conversion of the outstanding
Treasury Bonds into Three per Cents.:—
" With the view of treeing the contributions, and the
public revenue from the engagements that weigh on
them, as being the only means of facilitating the prompt
reorganisation of the system of the national finances,
and to provide in the mean time for the punctual pay-
ment of the urgent obligations of the State—seeing the
successful result of the conferences that have taken place

" Prince de Metternich has arrived bore, and will stop

MORTALITY IN THE MSTROPOLIS.—There has been
a considerable increase in the number of deaths
during the week ending Saturday, September 28, as
compared with the previous week. The total num-
ber was 932 ; previous week, 857 ; average for the
summer months, 897. The increase has been chiefly
in deaths caused by small-pox, scarlatina, typhus,
erysipelas, and violence, which are respectively as
follows, with the average :-37, 11; 85, 39 ; 34, 28 ;
11, 4; 44, 24. The second figures denote the ave-
rage for the summer months. The deaths from
small-pox occurred at the following ages :
eight under one year ; eleven, 1-3 ; five
3-5 ; seven, 5-10 ; two, 10-15 ; three,
20-30; and one, 34 years. The following is an
analysis of the list of violent deaths :—fracture or con-
tusion, 16 cases, of which 9 were by falls; 4 by
horses and carriages; 1 by a wheel; 1 by railway
carriages ; and 1 not stated. Drowning, 3 cases.
Hanging, 6 cases—suicides. Burns, 9 cases. Wounds,
6 cases, 3 being by suicides. Poison, 3 cases—
suicides. Suffocation, 2 cases. Scalds, 1 case ; and
Manslaughter, 1 case. Total, 33 males and 14
females, including 3 cases put to tetanus.

THIS DAY'S NEWS

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
There were about a dozen cases put down for hearing,
before Sir Charles F. Williams, but they were all un-
opposed, and therefore uninteresting.

GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.)
Two precocious varlets, the one thirteen, and the other
fifteen years of age were placed before Mr. Alderman
Farebrother, charged with picking pockets.
Alderman FAREBROTHEIt addressing the younger
prisoner—Have'nt we met before ? Prisoner—No, I
never was took before.

Alderman FAREBROTHER—Oh, yes, we did though.
We met in Newgate.
The two juveniles were sent- to where it was sup-
posed they would be better known by the officers.
Sarah Smith, a woman with a child in her arms, was
charged with breakingfive squares of glass in the window
of Mr. Butterfield, licensed victualler, Farringdon-street.
The shopman said that the prisoner was in at the bar
yesterday drinking with her husband, and as she was
quarrelsome and fighting he put her outside, when she
broke the windows.

Alderman FARIBROTHER—The husband, haring the
money, was kept inside of course. How much did he
drink ?—Only half a pint of beer.
Alderman FAREBROTHER—Oh, more than that. You
ought to hare turned the husband out, and the wife
would then have gone away quietly.
The husband was then called in, and after some few
questions and replies, the Alderman discharged the
prisoner.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Ellen Smith, an Irish woman, was brought before Mr.
Hall, charged with creating a disturbance in Stanhope-
street, Clare-market.

The officer who took the prisoner into custody stated
that he saw the prisoner in Stanhope-street the previous
night, screaming and crying out that she was a true
Catholic, and that she would never be a member of the
infernal Bible religion. She also expressed her reverence
for big Holiness the Pope in very energetic terms, de-
claring that he was the father of all the world. She
was quite sober.
In her defence the prisoner said that she had been
married a short time since, and her husband was a Pro-
testant, but she was a Catholic. Her husband wished
her to conform with his religion ; but this, said she, I
will never do—no I would sooner lay my head on the
block than leave the blessed religion.
Mr. HALL—But you must not make a noise in the
street.

Prisoner—l will always support my religion, and I
am ready to lay my head on the block to do so.
Mr. lIALL—WeII, if you are brought here again for
making a noise I shall fine you. You may go now.
The prisoner then left the Court protesting that she
would never be an apostate.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
Amongst the numerous objects of human infirmity
and wretchedness daily brought before this Court, is one
half-witted looking creature named Remy Wright. He
has only one eye, and there is a vacancy of expression in
his countenance, which, though it betokens nothing% of
insanity, seems to border on fatuity. This man was one
of the principal witnesses at the trial of the miscreant
Gould, for the murder of Mr. Templeman. He was
then barman in a public-house. During the last few
years he has been repeatedly brought before this Court
for sleeping in omnibuses, out-houses, and shutter-
boxes. The Magistrate has, upon these occasions,
usually sent him to the workhouse, but he remains there
no longer than a few hours, and resumes his former wan-
dering. He has been found lying in the snow during
the night, and if he were not as henry as a Kamschatkan,
he must long since have perished.
Last night Police-constable Wright, 304 N, found him
sleeping in a slaughter-house, and conveyed him to the
station-house,. _ _

Inspectors Thatcher and Penny said they considered
the prisoner was not right in his mind ; the former
added that he seemed to be almost starving this morning,
and that he gave him some food in the station-house.
The MAOISTRATIC directed that he should be subjected
to the examination of the parish surgeon, so that, if he
were of unsound mind, he might be provided for in a
proper manner.

MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.)
John Dwyer, a middle-aged man, having the appear-
ance of a groom or coachman, was charged with having
obtained four pair of trousers, a coat, a silk waistcoat,
and two cravats, by false pretences, from the valet of
Captain Williams, of 36, Connaught square. The
prisoner had been employed to remove the furniture of
Captain Williams from Connaught-square to another
house, which he had lately taken. He came to the valet
on Tuesday morning last, and told him that the Captain
had given him the clothes, which were in a drawer
in one of the rooms. The valet remarked that the
Captain had given him no instructions to do so, but
believing his story he ultimately gave him the articles in
question.
Capt. Williams said he was unwilling to prosecute the
prisoner for the sake of his wife and ,family. Ho had
given him a quantity of clothing, and that was the way
he repaid his generosity.
The prisoner, who said he understood that the captain
intended to give him the things, was remanded till Sa-
turday, to give the police time to search for them.

The Journal des Debuts contains the following ex
ract of a letter, from Athens, dated September 10 :
"Notwithstanding all the intrigues of parties to disu
nite the ne* Ministry, Moser& Coletti and Metaxa wil
be able to resist the evil intentions of their enemies' and,
above all, the demands of their friends. In some days,
the Chambers will be opened, and everything announces
that the Ministry will have a large majority. Several
Greek journals have published very excellent articles on
the necessity of uniting, and forgetting the absurd de-
nunciations of Russian, English, and French parties.
Messrs. Coletti and Metaxa have honourably given each
other the hand, and neither wishes for any party but a
national one ; General Izavellas and Admiral Canaris
also" agreed on this point. King Otho shows himself
thoroughly Greek ; he will support the new Ministry
firmly, but yet they will have many difficulties to con-
tend with, and in Greece as in France, England, and all
constitutional countries, the Radical journals, enemies of _
all authority, will endeavour to disturb public order." Munnnu.—Yesterday information was forwarded

Sttocitum AccthErcr.—Between ten and eleven
o'clock this morning, as J. Underwood, about eight years
of age, the son of very respectable parents, residing at
No. 9, Buckingham-street, Pimlico, was, with a crowd
of other children, in the Broad Sanctuary, Westminster,
looking at one of the street cleansing machines standing
there, when he either fell, or was pushed, against it by
another boy at the instant the horse drawing it moved on,
and his right hand being drawn in between two of the
cogwheels, was literally crushed to pieces, two of his
fingers being torn off, and falling at his feet. The child
was instantly carried into the Westminster Hospital.
Amputation of the wrist, it is feared, will become indis-
pensable. _ _ _ _

FLANDERS MAIL.
(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)
STYRIA.—The journal of the Austrian Lloyd con-
tains the following letter from Bruck, in the Muhr, of
10th September :—" To-day Styria saw for the first time
a locomotive, and that, too, of Austrian manufacture.
The new railway from Mivizzuschlag to Newdorf; be-
yond Gratz, was opened to day, by way of trial, from
Mivizzuschlag to Bruck, and the distance (about twenty-
five English miles) was performed in two hours, notwith-
standing numerous stoppages on the way and at the
station. In the course of this week the railway will be
open as far as to Badel, and then to Gratz. Thus what
till now has been generally doubted, and deemed incre-
dible, is accomplished, and in a shorter time than was
announced."

Prince Waldemar of Prussia embarked at Trieste on
the 16th, on board the Mahmndie steamer, belonging to
the Austrian Lloyd, for Athens, whence his Royal High-
ness will proceed by way of Syra, Alexandria, and Suez,
on his voyage to India and China.—Austrian Observer,

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 30.— BELGIUM AND THE ZOLLTE-
BEIN.—It seems certain that the treaty of the Ist Sep-
tember meets with some opposition even in the Prussian
provinces of the Rhine, where, however, the great majo-
rity of the inhabitants have declared in its favour. Ac-
cording to the Cologne Gazette the German masters are
in the opposition. If we are rightly informed, a depu-
tation of speculators and merchants is gone to Belgium
in order to attempt to raise obstacles to the ratification
of the treaty. The Cologne Gazette has lately published
a long letter from Brussels, in which the advantages
which the Belgian iron-masters may derive from the
treaty are appreciated at their just value.
An arrangement has just been concluded between the
Minister of Finance and Messrs. Rothschild, Brothers,
by which the interest of the Bonds of the New Four-
and-a-Half per Cents., which have been lately issued, and
of those which will be issued for the conversion of the
loan of 1833, may be paid at Paris at the option of the
holder.
