LONDON, TUESDAY. SEYTENIBER 24, 1850.

Oar oil friends the Sabbatarians are at it again
apparently. Nothing seems to allay their diseased
appetite for exercising authority over the morals of the
population. That is to say, if the morals of the po-
pulation mean the knock of the postman or the ring
of the milkwoman, the cry of the seller of fruit or of

--
the vencict: of mackerel, the brushing of boots or the

washing of linen. Another intolerable illustration
has just been afforded of the spirit in which these
modern Pharisees regard the observance of the Sun-
day. What we would here render the object cf ge-
neral attention is an incident recently recounted
in the columns of one or two of our provincial
contemporaries under the attractive title of " Sabbath
Prelanatioe." A brief and rapid statement will be
amply suffieient to shoe, the sinful character of the
proceedings thus entitled, proceedings no less awful
and criminal than the washing of a shirt on a certain
Sunday morning ! It appears from the statements
made in the local newspapers that one JOHN
WBAUGUT, matter of the sehoon4r Parvenu, of
Stralsund, " did permit ADOLPHS GRAHAM, a hand
on board his vessel, in profanation of the Sabbath, and
in breach of the regulations, to wash clothes therein
to the annoyance of the lieges." Whereupon the
said &MN WRAIIGHT was duly summoned, according
to the authority of the 81st Article of the ltiver and
Harbour Regulations at Glasgow; in the River Police-
Court, before the Worshipful Bailie PEARgON. -Con-
victed of the before-mentioned heinous offence, the
culprit was formally mulcted in the sum of seten
shillings and sixpence, the worshipful and sanctimo-
nious magistrate being resolved to avail himself of
the opportunity for the purpose of preventing,
if possible, any similar profanation of the so-
called Sabbath. Now, we are bold to say
that acts such as these are not only derogatory to the
cause of religion, but injurious to the influence of the"
laws of England. Indignant at the treatment re-
ceived under those laws, the master of the vessel
above particularised, himself a subject of King
LEOPOLD, threatened to appeal for redress and protec-
tion to the Belgian Consul; and, although ultimately
induced to pay the-fine impcsed upon him by Baillie
PEARSON, it is related of this JOIIN WRA UGH T
that he most sturdily insisted upon his right
to wash clothes, or to have clothes washed, when he
thought proper, even in the presence of Queen Vic-
Tome, if he felt so inclined.
,There is not we are sa-
tisfied in the length and breadth cf the United
Kingdoms a sensible and unprejudiced Englishman
who will not sympathise most cordially in that spirit
of independence and indignation with which the Bel-
gian sea-captain protested against the unconscionable
domination of the Sabbatariens.

Without having recourse. to the flowing metaphors
or refined verbiage of Billingsgate, we- think we may
be allowed in all possible truthfulnes3 cf expression
to term any one who would applaud the above pro-
eeeding—we speak with all clearness and distinctness

THE SUN,

of phraseology—a nasty beast. Talk of sanitary im-
provements, forsooth, with such ideas as those preva-
lent among certain classes of the population ! The
notion of any such sweeping schemes in the way of puri-
fication must surely after this appear little less than alto-
gether preposterous. Hitherto, indeed, the saying has
been from time immemorial that" Cleanliness is next
to Godliness." In the creed of our Scottish Sabat-
tarians, however, it would seem that Dirt and Divi-
nity are identica'. Whatever can lay claim now-a-
days to the privilege of being particularly filthy
would appear to be especially worthy of veneration
among this unclean section of religionists. To speak
to them .of " whitened sepulchres" would be
to pervert their ideas of morality, and virtually to talk
above their comprehension. According to their
estimate of the phrase it would mean that
religion necessitated habits of physical impurity,
insomuch that the polishing of a shoe, the shaving
of a beard, the rinsing of a scrap of linen in the wash-
tub, would be acts not very far removed from being ab-
solutely Satanic. Than this we cannot conceive any
more degrading or erroneous notion of religion.
Certainly we can imagine none more peculiarly des-
picable and repulsive. It transforms what is in its
nature divine into something smelling intensely
of the earth, earthy. It degrades the dogmas of
Christianity into the ordinances of filth, into
the commandments not of priestliness but of beastli-
ness. Acting upon such impressions the community
would very speedily degenerate into a state of peri-
odical and disgusting stagnation. The :Sundays
would become the moral cloacae of society, plunging
it at intervals into a condition too foul to admit even
of conjecture. If carried. into effect, the offence of
the multitude would very speedily be like that of the
King of DENIVILRIC—" rank, and smell to heaven ! "
It is against this evil consequence of Sabbatarianism
that we would battle as strenuously as against its
most perr.icious moral tendency. Our opposition to
it is attributable, not merely to our religious convic-
tions of the wholesomeness of Christianity, but also,
and in a particular manner, to our conscientious
opinions as the advocates of Sanitary Improvement.

" There is at present no probability of success for
any sedition against you, but neither is there any
probability of success for any sedition in your favour."
Such were the words addressed by M. DUPIN, the
Orleanist President of the French National Assembly,
to LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, the President of
the French Republic, and as it has been shrewdly
conjectured that Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE
would have no objection to ba " something more "
than President of the French Republic, and as it is
certainly known that M. DUPIN would do and has
done everything that he could do with safety to destroy
the Republic, and to restore the Orleans dynasty to
the throne, we take these words of M. DUPIN to
be the valuable testimony of an unwilling witness to
the stability and permanence of Republican in-
stitutions in France. In February, 1848, we were told
by the reactionary journals, and by the reactionary
Peers, that the Republic was a surprise, that it could
not last, because it could not preserve order,
and that the then Moderate Republic would be de-
stroyed by the anarchists, to put down whom the nation
would hail the restoration of Absolute Monarchy.

The month of June, 1848, belied that prophecy ;
the Moderate Republic was found strong
enough to put down by force the attempts of

the most unnatural coalition ever formed—
the coalition between the Communists and the Mo•
narchists, for the mast mischievous purpose, that ol

the disorganization of society, and the true Republic
was consolidated by the means by which its enemies
sought its destruction. The Constitution was
formed, proclaimed, and accepted, and under the
Constitution the first President was elected. As a
homage of gratitude to NAPOLEON his nephew was
elected first President of the French Republic, and
from that moment the intrigues of the reactionary
party began for the restoration of monarchy in
France. Every engine that could be employed
was set to work 'to destroy the Republic ; offices
of trust and profit were bestowed exclusively on
those .who were known to be Monarchists ; to be a
Republican was the only bar to office under the Re-
public ; all official influences were shamelessly used
to inflict " a heavy blow and great discouragement"
on Republicans and en Republican institutions ;
the priests almost to a man were leagued together
for the destruction of the institutions which protected

them, and which assured to them that liberty for
which fur twenty years they had clamoured, and
which only prevented them from persecuting
others ; every means that could be devised
were employed to corrupt the army, a con
siderable section of which was sent to Rome to
be indoctrinated in the principle of hatred to Repub-.

lican institutions ; the foreign correspondents of
our English reactionary journals, acting as
the mouth-pieces of the police and of the re-
actionary conspirators of the Continent, were repeat-
ing, usgue ad nauseam, that the Republic was repu-
diated by the great 'majority of the French people,
and must inevitably fall ; and yet, nothwithstanding
all the false-dealings of treacherous friends, notwith-
standing all the machinations and plottings of secret
enemies, notwithstanding "all the prayers and the
prophecies" of the CARLIER dictated correspondence
of the reactionary journals-in spite of the
efforts of the Society of the 10th of
December—in spite of the manifestoes of
Wiesbaden, and the intrigues cf -St. Leonard's and
Richmond, we find that the results of -the PAESI
DENT'S journey through the French Departments,
and of the experience of M. Durrsr of the feelings ex-
pressed in the Councils-General, has been to wring from
the latter a reluctant confession that no sedition
agains t the Republic has the remotest cht.nce of suc-
cess. We have always maintained this opinion, and
from February, 1848, up to the present pe
riod have never hesitated to declare that we

felt no apprehensicns as regards the stability
of the Republican institutions of France, because in
the present sccial and political condition of that
country a Republic is the only possible form. of go-
vernment which has any chance of stability, and
we are rejoiced to find that our opinion is supported
by that of so accomplished a statesman zs M. DupEN.
In the meantime it wcuki be Veil that the "fo-
reign correspondents" of English reactionary journals
should, f►r their own reputation's sake, be somewhat
more " chary" of their prophecies of the immediate
destruction of the Republic. C'est un M4chant metier
que celui de prophetiser, as they may find one day to
their cost.

JENNY LIND IN AMERICA.—A private letter from
New York, speaking of the Jenny Lind furor, says—" The
Lind, you will see, has arrived safely. Tickets for her open
ing concert sold very high ; the first for 225 dolls. (about 451.
sterling), but the second fetched 25 dolls. only (51. sterling).
It seems to be considered that Barnum got a per,onal friend
to run up the price at a e outset, to induce the public to fol-
low, but at such prices few of the verdant school were to be
foand. The folk here are decidedly mad after Jenny. A
friend yesterday told me he saw on Saturday a number of
men and boys sitting on Stewart's new building ' opposite the
Irving-house, about six P. M., watching for the Nightingale.
On returning about ten the mob still remained. Two or
three ladies were on the balcony, but it was too dark to dis-
tinguish whether Jenny was one of the select party. The
crowd, however, imagined she was there, and that was suffi-
cient for them. One of the ladies, after eating a peach, threw
the stone over the balcony, when a tremendous rush took
place to secure what was presumed to be precious momesto
of the fair songstress, and a regular street fight nearly ensued.
my friend tells me he saw, and it is a fact. Another
stnetisy freely circulated is, that a glove of Jenny's has been
picked up, and the fortunate finder is charging (so it is re-
ted) is. for an outside and.. 2s. foran i.riside kiss of the

ROYAL MILITARY ACADEMY.—WOOLWICII, SEPT.
23.—Major-General Parker, C. 8., Lieutenant-Governor of
the Royal Military Academy, and a number of the rank and
fashion of the neighbourhood, including several parties from
London, assembled on the ground in front of the. Gentlemen
Cadets' Barrack, on the. afternoon of Saturday last, to witness
for the third time the athletic games held by the gentlemen
cadets; and the afternoon being remarkably Sue, the manly
sports were carried on with great spirit, and the scene was
of a most animated description for 'upwards of three hours.
A silver bugle was given to the competitor who was the first
in the greatest number of games, to be held until the next
athletic games, when it will be again contested for in the
same manner. It was en this occasion delivered to Mr.
Temple, who was victorious in no less than six of the games.
The fifes and drums of the Royal Artillery band were on the
ground during the afternoon, and played between the races.
On the conclusion of the spOrts, the prizes were delivered to
the successful competitors in the Hall; after which the full
band of the Royal Artillery played concerted pieces for the
remainder of the evening.

America, 500 Pernam and Maranham, and 500 Bahia
were taken by speculators. The market closed with
prices of American and all other kinds, except Egyptian
and Sea Islands, d. to id. per lb. dearer than on Friday
last. The sales comprised about 5,000 American, 1,000
Pernam and Maranham, at Bd. to 81d.; 1,000 Bahia, at
7id. to Bild.; 500 Surat, at sd. to 6ed., and 50 Sea Is-
lands, at Is. lid. to Is. 4id. par lb.—ln Railway Shales
a fair business was done, and the market closed firmly.
In a statement upon the Dried Fruit trade, Messrs.
Witherby and Hanson report as under:—" The arrivals
which we noticed on the 23d ult. were the close of the
shipment of the 1849 crop. A cargo has since been re-
ceived at Liverpool. The screw steam-ship Nautilus
left Patras on the 4th instant, with new fruit for this
port; two schooners suiled on the previous day. The
London clearances for home consumption, which were
on the increase last month, have again fallen eff; having
been only 540 tons from 19th ult. to 18th inst., against
775 tons during the like period of 1849, and against
410 tons and 870 tons in 1848 and 1847. At
Liverpool there has also been a falling otf
during the last four weeks. This has been
partly occasioned in London by the holders of currants
having withdrawn their fruit from the market on the
6th instant, in consequence of the intelligence of serious
damage to the crop from heavy rain at the
end of last month, a fact which has been fully confirmed
by later advice& The market has since been in an
uusettled state; the trade, though unusually bare of
stock, preferring to await the arrival of tie new crop.
A few purchases have, however, been made within the
last few days at an advance of 2s. to 23. 6d. per cwt.
upon the rates of last mouth. Gelph Fruit at
375. to 375. 6d., and Patras 41s to 41s 6d.
We are not aware of any Island fruit having
been sold; one quotation for that description is, there.
fore, even more nominal than that of Patras. Five car-
goes of Raisins have arrived at Liverpool, and are selling
freely at 40s ; three or four at Bristol, and one at Ply-
mouth. The fruit, so far, appears good, and of a keep-
ing quality. We have had arrivals also of Muscatels in
layers, opening price 753., now 655.; and of Sultanas,
about 5,000 drums, held at our quotations, without find-
ing buyers."

It appears from the following letter, addressed by
Cardinal ANTONELLI to the Marquis DE SPINOLA, the
Sardinian Charge d'Affaires at Rome, that the PorE
makes common cause with the rebellious Archbishop of
TURIN, and is doing his best to foment a rebellion in
the states of a neighbouring and friendly Power. The
letter is dated Sept. 2, and is as follows :—•

" Tho events which have taken place at Turin, after
the death cf the Chevalier Pietro de Rossi de Santa
Rosa, Minister of Commerce of his Sardinian Majesty,
are a fresh cause of bitter grief to the Church, and to
its august head. The violation committed against the
ecclesiastical immunity, by the series of facts which
called forth the former protests of his Holiness, and to
which hitherto no attention has been paid, has been ag-
gravated in the capital of the Sardinian States, where the
lay power has not feared to mix itself up in questions solely
relating to the adcainis!ration of the sacraments. The cc •
clesiastical authority having thought fit not to accord to
the said minister the sacrament of the Eucharist, unless
he first rectified by a proper act the position in which
he had placed himself with respect to the Church, in
taking part in the promulgation of anti-canonical laws,
this act was alleged against the sacred ministers, and, in
consequence, they were acted against without any at-
tention being paid to their sacred character. Hence was
seen a series of severe measures against tLe priesthood,
the violent expulsion of the cm 6 of St. Charles, and of
all the religious family to which it belongs, the arrest of
the Archbishop of Turin and his confinement in the
fortress of Fenestrella, without speaking of the perqui-
sitions made a short time after in the prelate's residence.
The sole enumeration of such acts appears to be suffi-
cient to demonstrate what a grave responsibility their
authors have incurred before the Church. It is the
ministers of the Church alone who are to decide to
whom the sacraments are to be administered, and in
such performance of their duty they are to be guided
by no other rules than those given them by the
higher authorities of the Church. That being the
case, it is easy to see what an insult has been offered to
the Church by the secular authority arrogating to
itself the right of deciding in matters which concern
the sacraments, and how offensive are the hostile mea
sures adopted in contempt of the priestly character, and
especially the now act of violence against the sacred
person cf the Archbishop of Turin. At the sight of
such deplorable events the aaction with which the
mind of the Holy Father is filled, on account of the
dreadful situation cf ecclesiastical things in a Catholic
kingdom like Sardinia, increases beyond measure.
His Holiness, to satisfy the duties imposel upon
him by his august character of supreme clisf of
the Catholic Church, has expressly enjoined the un-
dersigned cardinal, Secretary of State, to pre-
test formally against these deplorable acts, and
to ask, in his name, the reparation which is due to him.
The Holy Father, who, in the case of the unfortuuate vi-
cissitudes tetween the Holy See and Piedmont, feels,
satisfied that he has given a striking example of
apostolic longanimity, is willing again to hope that the
Government of his Sardinian Majesty, seeieg how heavy
are the trials to which the Church has so long been sub-
jected in those States—how insulting are the measures
taken one after the other against the most illustrious
personages of the episcopal order, to the great scandal of
the Catholic woad—and reflecting, besides, on what is
established by the sacred canons relative to acts of this
nature—will consent to put an end to a state of things
incompatible with the religion which the said Govern-
ment professes, and which it declares itself ready to
maintain and protect; a state of things Equally irrecon-
cileable with the solemn, reaties to which the Holy See,
strong in its gocd right, does not cease to appeal. Pre)
isg your Lordship to forward the present note to your
royal Government, the undersigned repeats to him the
expression of his sentiments of high esteem.

" The Cardinal ANTONELLL"
On the Bth, the flee of the birth of the Virgin, the
POPB went in procession to grand mass at Santa
Maria del Popolo. He was received by the people
in the most chilling manner; not a sound was uttered
—not a voice asked for benediction. The POPE was
deeply affected by this reception, which contrasted so
unfavourably with his reception in 1846. Instead of
the flattering inscriptions which formerly, in similar
circumstances, were exposed in the streets through
which his HoLINEss used to pass in going to the
church of Santa Maria del Popolo, the following
writing was posted near that church and in other
parts of the city :

The Lisbon mail, just in, brings information of pre•
cisely the tenor that has been expected for some time
past. The capital seems on the eve of another revolu-
tion, poverty and misgovernment weighing heavily upon
it. The impossibility of ruling a country upon the
antiquated system, curbing its political rights, and re-
straining its industrial energy, has long been felt in
circles here, where Portuguese affairs are beet under-
steed.

THE VOICES OF THE NIGHT. Recitative

the Music composed and dedicated, by permission, to
the Viscountess Dungannon by Ernest Reinhold..
It is not often that poetry and melody are found so
intimately combined as they are in the present de-
lightful coniposition. Ernest Reinhold, of whom,
from his former compositions, we expected great
things, and who does not seem likely to disappoint
our expectations, has become thoroughly imbued with
the spirit of Professor Longfellow's exquisite poem,
without exaggeration, " music married'
which he has renderedinto music worthy of the sub
ject. Tais iF,

during fame. "The Voices of the Night" will not
be cast aside with the great mass of nonsense verses
sat to so-so 'music which encumber the music-stand
of the drawing-room, but will be carefully treasured
as one of those ehoice c?mpositions which will be re-
curred to again and again with delight.

TITS OLD FAMILY BIBLE—REMARKABLE 'NCI..
DENT. On the banks of the Wabash the effects of a poor
widow, who had been left comparatively destitute at the
death of her husband, had been seized by a sheriff for debt,
and were being told by auction—and among these effects an
old family Bible was put up for sale.. She begged the con-
stable to spare this memento of her dear and honoured
parents, but he was inexorable. The good hook was about
going for a few shillings, when the widow euddenly snatched
and declaring elle would have some relic of those she loved,
cat the thread that held the brown linen cover, with the in-
tent of retaining it. Tile cover fell into her hands, and with
it two fiat pieces of thin dirty paper. Surprised at the cir-
cumstance, she examined them, and what was her joy and
delig,ht to find that they each called for five hundred pougds
on the Bank of England. On the back of one, in her mother's
haridwriting, were the following words:—" When sorrow
overtakes you, seek your Bible." And on the other,.in her
father's hand :—" Your father's ears are never desf." The
sale was immediately stopped, and the family Bible given to
the faithful owner.—Hull Advertiser.
DEATEI FROM CHOKING.--..yesterday Mr. Carter
held an inquest at ' the Marlborough Arms Public-house,
Camberwell, on the body of William Barton, aged 67, who
died under the following circutnstances :—The deceased was
an inmate of Camberwell workhouse, and, on Thursday last,
whilst in the infirm ward, the nurse brought in a quantity of
boiled beef and potatoes to supply twelve men. The de-
ceased went to the table, and while the nurse was at the
other end of the ward, he took up a piece of meat and en-
deavoured to swallow it, but became black in the face, and
fell down insensible. Mr. King, the house-surgeon, was
called in, and made every effort to dislodge the meat, which
had become firmly fixed in the windpipe. The decea•ed

NATURAL AFFECTION OF A DOG.--The Mona'B
Herald states that a Mr. Cain, of Castletown. took _ three
pups from a litter of seven, produced by a canine favourite,
drowned them, and buried them in a 11012. Next morning
the mother had all the seven pups in her bed alive and
sucking, she having scratched up her offspring and warmed
them into life.

We have heard it remarked by a gentleman well
intern-led on the subject, that it is feared our manufacturers
are too exclusively devoting themselves to the production of
the finest qualities of fabrics, and neglecting the lower and
middle qualities, which are really of greater importance *as
articles of commerce, a-Al in which prizes might be gained as
well as in the highest qualities. We behave it would be pe-
culiarly desirable for our Yorkshire manufacturers to strive
after excellence in the medium qualities. as it is in those that
they possess the greatest advantages.—Leeds Mecury.

the different wharfs, docks, and river quays, the greatest ac-
tivity is observable.
TFIE EARL OF DUNDONALIL—It will be satisfac-

tory to the numerous friendsandadmirers of this Noble and

Chief on the North American station, that the Commercial
