ready of the requisite draught of water and oasr capa-
bilities for the service, when steamers only will be sent.

PLPHOU TH AS A PACKET STATION.
We are happy in b. able to state that Plymouth
having teen selected by the Screw Company- as the port
of arrival and departure of the Cape mail steamers, the
first stecm ship, the Bosphorus, Captain J. V. Hall,
will be dispatched on ;Sunda), the 15th inst. She will
be f ?lowed by a weau3er every succeeding month for the
Cape, calling at Ala,:cirr. and Sierra Leone. Probably
other ii,tereardiste ports will be touched at for mails.
This is but a commencement. There can be little
doubt that vita energy and co-operation among the in-
habitants—by the exhibition of public spirit, and a de-
sire to facilitate the arrangements and thither the
views of those who may have the opportunity of pro-
moting the commercial importance of the nrigbourhood
—the capabilities of the port will be more and more de-
veloped and its natural and other advantages more and
more apprecia:ed. Not only therefore for what it is in
Lut for what it will in all probability lead to, we
hril the selection of this port as the rendezvous of the
Cape mails as an importent era. We understand that
with reipect to the company who have obtained the
contract, there is a probability of their increasing the
tonnage and steam power of the vessels to enable
them to proceed direct to the East Indies, and that re-
Kular communication with Australia—a subject that has
been strongly urged by influential persons—may b.
reasonably expected shortly to follow.—Devimport In-

MR. SIDNEY HERBERT AND THE
PUSEYITES.
Mr. Sidney Herbert has been makings speech to his
constituents, assembled in county conference, on the all-
engrossing subject of the day. With a certain con-
sciousness of being what in the Reign of Terror was
called " one of the suspect," the astute representative of
Wiltshire has deemed it safer to volunteer his own ver-
sion of the matter than to wait for interroeration.
"I shall be very frank," said the Right Hon. Gentleman
at the commencement of his curious oration. That was
what the late Sir Robert Peel invariably used to say
whenever he meant to be particularly cloudy.
The Member for Wilts was one of his favorite dis-
ciples ; and, to do him justice, he seems to be an adept
in his master's ways of political speech. His promise
" to be frank" he certainly kept, so far as the things
done by the Roman Church and the things left un-
done by the Anglican Church are concerned. He had
no hesitation in abusing the Pope and bantering the
Cardinal, He called the tone of the bull " blasphe-
mous," and ridiculed the style of the Pastoral as a bad
imitation of that in use among the Chinese. His
audience obligingly cheered the former and laughed at
the latter remark. Furthermore, he confessed that our
bishops had rather too much pay and our working clergy
too little. He openly proni,unced in favour of church
extension in its widest sense, and solemnly declared that
when he saw and heard all that was passing around him,
he thought the a-gumption that England was about to
become reconciled to the Papacy, one of the—but he
would not utter the word that his indignation put upon
his lips! Tne mingled force of candour and of cliai ity
could no urtner go; and a discriminating audience, fan-
cying that the speaker had actually acid something,
cheered in the usual meaner.
Only unto one in the crowd did the gift of inter-
preting tongues appear to be given. In a brief pause
of the Peelian oration, a rude voice in the multitude
was beard to exclaim—" What is to be done with the
traitors in our owl] camp?' As if awakened from a
niesmeri,ing process. everybody suddenly seemed to
remember that this after all was the main question at
issue, and the only one to which, as electors of. Wilts,
that they were interested in getting from their Right
Hon. Lecturer a categorical reply. Vehement cries of
e Hear," interspeised with yet more pointed exclama-
tions, beep, k • the ready and unanimous assent of all to
the blunt but most pertinent iclerrogation.
But their adroit representative was not to be caught so
easily. It was a criticel moment for a gentleman who had
fur years been supposed to be no parsimonious contributor
Lu the propagation of that peculiar form of faith now
brandeu as insidious heresy. To flinch, in the face of his
country, from what he had hitherto professed to patro-
nise, %%calla have been shabby, and useless into the bar-
gain. To lively it manfully would have required what
Mr. Roebuck calls " civil courage"—a quality which
no man of Mr. Sidney Herbert's school was ever
supposed to possess. One only alternative remained—to
be " frank," iu the Peelito and Puseyite sense—that is,
intensely evasive, unintelligible, and obscure. " What is
to be done with the traitors?" ejaculated the ex-Mi-
nister: " I am glad that question is asked, and I shall
answer it fraukiy." Whereupon the polemical Candide
went off at a right so,gle upon the capacity and disposi-
tion to judge fairly of the quarrel, nod then passing by a
circuitous detour through the heathen deserts within
the realm ut England, where the scene of church
extension labours is said te lie, the wily worthy
came to a rotund conclusion, wehout venturing even
once within speeking distance of the notable question
with which he was to have dealt so frankly, and with
which he was in fact so delighted to deal! Nut a word
was said on the subject. The traitors and treason re-
main, and will so continue, as well as the far more effi-
cient and subtle enemies of genuine Protestantism than
Italian rescripts or bishops appointed by Rome, tor
aught that the member fur %Vitt. or the Right Rev. Lord
of Oxford will do toward,: their eviction.
If Mr. Sidney Herbert cherishes any ambition to stand
for the county next time (and the occasion may be
nearer at hand than people imagine), he must choose de-
finitively what hide he intends to espouse in future, and be
prepared, at least for a decent while, to stick to it. If
his mind be so constituted that he finds it hard to
hold heartily any opinion, or to entertain zealously
any attachment to party in Church or State, that is his
misfortune tor which he may be with more reason
pitied than blamed. A man who feels no confidence
inspires none; a man who is conscious of no enthusiasm
eau never become its object. lie may be a convenient,
conventional, conanionpince person of station and in-
fluence; more he can never be. But even for that
third-class position he must have or assume the pluck to
say out what he allows his friends to suppose he thinks
upon vital questions. County electors are easily duped
enough, Heaven knowr, and sometimes too easily made
to submit to supercilious contempt from their represen•
tatives. But even Wiltshire farmers may find out that
they have been dose. And finished as their Russian
envoy is in the arts of diplomacy, there are subjects to
which these accomplishments are misapplied, and the
national religion is one of them.—Daily News.

ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN
RAILWAY.- A collision occurred on the London and North-
Weste!n Railway or. Saturday evening, under circumstances
that deserve especial notice. The Tring train due at Eus-
ton-square at a quarter to nine P.M. reached the Harrow side
of the Primrose-hill Tunnel. when some fog signals exploded,
and the train stopped close to the signal-hut there. On this
spot it stood for a very considerable time, but was at length
moved some short distance within the tunnel, and then again
stopped. Two faster trains were becoming rapidly due, and
the condition of the passengers became more and snore
perilous. Still the train stood still for a period that seemed
hours, which, in fact, was, it is stated, full 50 nsinutes,
when the expected shuck came, the following train
entering the tunnel and ran into the carriages
waiting there. The collision was so severe that the last car-
riage in the still train was broken in all directions. The
train, however, was shortly after got slowly into motion, and
arrived at Euston station. Happily no livers were lost, but
the driver of the Tring train was thrown by the collision
with great violence against the boiler, and had one of his
arms much cut and bruised. Only one of the passengers in
this train appears to have been seriously hurt, though all
were of course much shaken. It is a rather remarkable fact
that the two passengers who were the most injnred occupied
the centre compartment of a first-class carriage about the
middle of the Birmingham train. Oen was a gentleman
named Weston. resident in Dover-street,' Piccadilly, whose
legs were much hurt; the other gentleman resides in St.
James's-street, and he has bad his shins severely cut. One
passenger in the Tring train, resident in the Westminster-
road, was also slightly injured.

ST. BARNABke, rIMUCO.--The usual service of
this church was yesterday performed without those interrup-
tions which for some weAs past have disgraced the Impious
aggressors. The congregation, however, on leaving the
sacred
walls, were received by an irate mob assembled in the
street, and some violence, but not of a personal character, is
Iwo botu committed.
