SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
ADVER.IISER.—We publish to-day the more im-
portant portions of a document, which will be read with
intense interest in all parts of the community. It is tLe
pamphlet of Cardinal Wiseman, the newly-appointed
Popish " Archbishop" of Westminster, which has been
announced as on the eve of making its appearance fur
some days past. The document is ushered into existence
in the form of an" Appeal" to the people of England, 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 must add, that it is,
from beginning to end, a piece of special pleading. It
begs the question throughout. It assumes certain things,
and proceeds to argue on them as if 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 thy
cloven foot of Popery, as an aggressive system, i!so mane.
fest, that no one can fail to perceive it. There is a bold-
ness in the introduction which fully prepares as for the
audacity which is throughout exhibited in the body of
the pamphlet. In the outset of the " Appeal," Dr.
Wiseman makes a very importact 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 aro 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 one 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
co exist 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 a
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. Wiseman,
and those who choose to indorse his flagrant mis-
statements, will find to their cost. This a clerical and
parochial agitation! We are appalled at the audacity
which in open day could venture on such an assertion.
Does, then, this newly-fledged " Archbishop" mean to
say that the clergy and parochial functionaries are
also the instigators and props of the anti-Popish agita-
tion, which is kept up in the press, as well as at public
meetings? Does he mean to say that our contempora-
ries and ourselves are operated upon by clerical influ-
ences? We scarcely know whether to regard the auda-
city of the Pope, 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 ecclesias-
tics are worthy of each other. Like master, like man.
Or, rather, the man surpasses his master. The Cardinal
beats the Pope hollow, inasmuch as to the attribute of
effrontery, ha 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 p-ople of England.
He 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
I 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 fiom 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. They 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
p„pis3ll 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. 'We fear not the issue.
So far from being discouraged by the effrontery and
mendacity which he displays in his pamphlet, we re•
joice that he has thrown off the mask. We now know
what we have to deal with. We discern, in this docu-
ment, the same spirit cf persecution which the Romish
Church has ever
_shown, as clearly as in any page of
Popish history. In the " rights," as he 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
country, 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
200 years aro.
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. His Monsignoreship
is evidently no slumbering, mumbling, dozing son of the
Church, clad in purple, and fed with incense; but a busy,
worldly, go-a-head son of an acute and an industrial
age. He has evidently emerged from no cloister, nor
from the desk of any antiquated administration. The
Cardinal, cardinal though he be, is one a us. and one
not of our effete or dandy classes, but a farce filius, who
has touched the mother earth of common lite, and learned
rude-thoughtedness with his vernacular. Cardinal
Wiseman, we see, claims to be an Englishman, and no
mica. His style, his rudeness, his hard 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 if a slashing
English reviewer, not of a Roman casuist; and the entire
vein of thought and of expression, savour far more
strongly of the man of the world, than the servant of
the Cburcb. Dr. Pusey has ten times more unction,
more teatitude, more Jesuitry, and, without the red
hat, far more Popery about him. But although the
Pope has had the seg.city to come amongst us in the
unusual garb of a man of the advanced world, with a
bold aspect, a fertile invention, and a ready 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 publ:e no more respectful aspirant f
favour. If he became a cardinal it was not of his seek-
ing, and if of Westminster, it was of necessity not fore-
knowledge. The Pope's claim and his own to administer
all the spiritual, and no small portion of the temporal,
affairs of England, are merely phrases, to which none save
an Anglican bishop would take offence. Catholics can-
not worship without bishops; and the Emancipation Act,
which allowed freedom of the one, sanctioned the full
development of the other. On the subject of his title,
authority, and precedence, the Cardinal says little, ex-
cept that his pretensions are 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 which all Christian sects
should hear each other, than the Bull, 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 cf the pam-
phleteer, mocking the cathedral service at Westminster,
and descending to t' pull ceps" 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
,session made by its first end hasty perusal.

CARDINAL WISEM A N'S A PPEAL.—The appearance
in the mor ing journals of the above Appeal, it would seem,
has caused the :hop of Me•sis. Richardson, in Fleet-street,
the publishers of the Cardinal'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 horres front
the Continent are now taking place by the steamers from
France and Belgium. The vessel Fame, from Calais, has
brought seven horses as part •of her cargo, consigned ; and
the steamer Princess Victoria, arrived from Antwerp,
brought 21 horses, of Belgian production, consigned to order.
TAr, TBA TRADE, Nov. 18.—Tbe tea deliveries
in London last week were 506,0261 b. The market is very
firm, and holders are indisposed to sell.

COPYING ELECTRIC TELEGARFH.
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 paragrapb, 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
I 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-chy mica! telegraph, which is at present
daily transmitting intelligence over upward (if 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 Yorls 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, e 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
cbymical 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, Berlin, or Vienna.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
ALEXANDER BAIN.
Paris, Nov. l7.

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY.
We are requested to insert the following copy of s
letter addressed to the chairman and directors of the
Electric Telegraph 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 Queen'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 any man-
ner that you or any person connected with your estab-
lishment used our message of the 27th July, 1848, or
any other communication received or transmitted by us
through the Electric Telegraph, for atockjobbing 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 possibly
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 Cour?of Queen's Bench for a criminal information,
is an adequate 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 for
publishing this letter, without comment.
" We are, &c., &c.,
''W ULMER and SNITS."

FEMALE EMIGRATION FUND.—lntelligence has
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 Herbert'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 anu so admirably suited for a colonial
career. The girls, thirty- eight in number, were larded at
Melbourne on the Bth of July, and the Melbourne Argus of
the 11th of July states that thirty-one of them had 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. The
female emigrants, 65 in number, had conducted themselves
with great propriety throughout the voyage. All who were
destined for Adelaide were landed safely and wall, and
every one of them obtained eligible situations within six.
days. Their cleanly and healthy appearance seems to have
impressed the colonists ye. y greatly in their favour; in-
deed, both at Port Phillip and Melbourne this immigration
appears to have given the greatest satisfaction. The Mel-
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, which will enable them to act well their part in any Of
the many situations of usefulness which lia so invitingly be-
fore them."

TUE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND FOREIGN TITLES.
—At a titre when the Pope is conferring English titles and
creating English bishoprics in this realm without the per-
mission of its sovereign, the following letter will be read
with the interest and authority it so properly merits:—
"To Earl Bathurst,—My Lord,—l enclose two letters, and
the copy of a patent, which I have received from the King
of the Netherlands, in which his Majesty signifies his inten-
tion to confer upon me the title of Prince of Waterloo, &c.,
&c., 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
Netherlands —I have the honour to be, &c., Witt.wirwron.
Paris, July 23, 1815."

PATENT LAW REFORM.—The committee appointed
by the 'ociety 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 Woodcrott, Mr. Peter le Neve Fester, Mr. H.
Elliott, and Dr. Forbes Royle. The committee were unani-
mous in their affirmation of the following principles:-1.
" That 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 invendons.” 2.
" That the difficulties and anomalies experienced in cou-
mxion with patents should be removed." And they resolved
to prepare a Bill embodying their views with as little delay
as possible.
The installation of Cardinal Wiseman will take
place in about ten days time, and it is arranged that the
ceremony will be gone through in private, with closed doom
for the purpose of avoiding the annoyance anticipated on
;be part of th, se whom curiosity might lead to witness it.
Indeed, the induction would take place this week, but there
are certain advices from Rome to be brought over prior to
the enthronement, and to receive which the Rev.
Doyle departed for Belgium at an early hour yesterday
morning, where he is to be met by the Pope's messenger
dispatches.
