SOYER'S RELISH.

Alexis Suer has conferred upon the world a new
benefaction. The very title of it is suggestive of its
excellence. It affords another proof that the author,
as well as his book, is entitled to the name
of the Gastronomic Regenerator. They may
talk to us of " Alison on Taste," but, to our think-
ing, " Soper on Taste " is immeasurably more
palateable. Is there any doubt upon this point ?
We refer confidently to the " New Relish," satisfied
that the assertion, under its influence, will be
swallowed with infinite satisfaction. As we despair
of in any way affording a notion of the flavour of this
most delicious and incomparable Relish, we must con-
tent ourselves with declaring its name to be its
most exact definition. A relish it unquestionably
imparts to the most wholesome viands, and we can-
not help thinking that with a bottle or two of such
sauce the shipwrecked sailor might have devoured,
even with gusto, the kid gloves and morocco slippers
spoken of in Constable's Miscellany.

AN TI-POPERY.
TO THE DISSENTERS OF ENGLAND.

MY GOOD FRIENDS,—Are cu too busy in :the
fight for our glorious Church Establishment to listen
to a fireside story ?
There was a certain pilgrim who journeyed alone
across a great desert, wherein was no help for him
against man or beast. And it came to pass, as he
journeyed, that two savage beasts contended in the
way. They were spent with long fighting and at the
point of death ; and because they saw the end ap-
proaching their cry was exceeding loud. •
And the leopard said unto the pilgrim, " Oh pil-
grim, my brother, save me from this tiger. Re-
member, I beseech thee, slaughtered men and ravaged
folds, and aid me in this strait, for it is very sore."
Then the pilgrim uplifted his staff and disabled the
tiger, whom the leopard easily worried.
Moreover, the Pilgrim washed the wounds of the
leopard, and anointed them with oil from his cruse ;
and the leopard yelped much in praise of the pilgrim.
But when it was now dark, and the leopard was an-
hungered he made a meal of the pilgrim, with this
comfortable apostrophe,— " Thou fool, can the Ethi•
opian change his skin or the leopard his spots; and
hadst thou not known me of old ?"

DEATH OF LORD NUGENT, M.P.—The Right Hon.
Lord Nugent, M.P. for the b,Tough of Aylesbury, expired at
his seat, Lillies, yesterday afternoon. His Lordship's demise
was scarcely expected, as his disease had taken a more fa-
vourable turn.

DEATH OF COL. KEATE, LATE SCOTS FUSILIER
Guszns.— On the 23d instant, Colonel Keate, who had
retired from the army, died in town. lie entered the service
in the year 1800, and served with his regiment in the Penin-
sula from 1803 till the beginning of 1813; he was present at
the passage of the Douro, the affair near Salarnancr, bPttle
of Busaco, siege of Ciudad Rodrigo, covering the siege of Ba-
dajoz, battle of Salamanca, capture •f Madrid, and siege of
Burgos. The late Colonel Keate had received the silver
war-medal for Busaco, Ciudad Rodrigo, aid Salamanca }le
formerly held the appointment of equerry to the late Duke of
Cambridge.

The original MS. of Waverley, wholly in the
hanth, riting of Sir Walter Scott—the same MS. which was
sold at Evans's, in 1831, with the other MSS. of the noble
series of novels and romances, has just been presented to the
Advocates' Library at Edinburgh, by Mr James Hall,
brother of the late Captain Basil Hall. At the sale alluded
to, the MS. was bought by Mr. Willis, M.P.. for something
under 201., and it was sold by that gentleman the next week
to Mr. Hall at Mr. Hall's price of forty guineas. It is a
well known fact to all readers of Scott, that the novel of
Waverley was commenced about the year 1805, and laid aside
in an old cabinet till 1813, when it was again taken up, com-
pleted, and published: we need hardly add with what suc-
cess The MS. both in the dated watermarks of the paper
and by features in the handwriting, confirms and illustrates
the story of the delay. It is not perhaps generally known
that the trustees of the Advocates' Library were in treaty
for the purchase of the whole of the MSS., and actually
offered more for them than they realised at the sale. While
we regret that the offer of the Advocates was not accepted,
and the MSS. kept together for public use and general grati-
fication, we are pleased to think that, all circumstances con-
sidered, the most interesting of the MSS. (thanks to Mr.
Hall) has been added to the treasures of the noblest library
in Scotland.—Atheneum.

ROYAL ARTILLERY.—WOOLWICH, Nov. 26.-17
gunners left the garrison this morning in charge of a ser-
geant for Leith Fort, to fill up Captain Pickering's company,
3d battalion, at that station, and Captain Paynter's com-
pany, 2d battalion, at Glasgow, and Fort George, North
Britain. 11 gunners also left the garrison at two o'clock
A.M. to-day for Euston-square, under the charge of a non-
commissioned ( fficer, to proceed to Manchester, to fill up
Captain Cock's company, 6th battalion, at that station. 12
fine young men, recruits, joined head-quarters yesterday
from Coleraine, where they were enlisted by the recruiting
party under Captain Knox. A new great coat, of a better
i
description than those now used, s to be issued to the non-
commissioned officers of the battalions and field batteries.
The cloth is of a dark blue colour, similar to the cloaks used
by the Royal Horse Artillery, and of such good quality that
it is calculated to serve five years instead of three years, the
period allowed for the present gray coats. The new great
coats are lined with serge and fitted with scrrlet collars.
ROYAL ENGINEERS. - Lieutenant- Colonel Ord,
who for several years was the commanding officer of Royal
Engineers and Royal Sappers and Miners at Quebec, has
left Canada and returned to England, and has been suc-
ceeded by Lieutenant-Colonel Streatfield, who had the com-
mand at Kingston. Captain Gordon has proceeded from
Montreal to Kingston, to take the command of that district
for a temporary period; and Captain the Hon. H. F.
Keane, recently arrived in Canada, is now in charge at
Montreal.

SHIPWRECK AT LONDON-BRIDGE.—On Monday,
during the high wind, a vessel, containing 330 quarters of
malt, in endeavouring to pass under London bridge str
•me of the pier-heads, and the crew had great difficulty in
effecting a safe retreat from the vessel; the whole of the
valuable cargo, however, sank to the bottom of the Thames
—but during yesterday a great number of sacks filled with
grain were recovered from the river, which, of muse, were
greatly damaged by the watar,

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
We find in the National the following admiral:le
article on the agitation going on in England age inst
Pdpal aggression :

Tte-ijatholica complain of the Liberals cf all coun-
tries who demand liberty for all opinions, and yet who
raise a cry of alarm at each new progress made by Ca-
tholicism. The reason is clear; became Catholicism is
the barn enemy of liberty; because, as soon as it has ob-
tained a footing in a country it endeavours to enslave it.
All other religions consider themselves free enough
when they ere permitted to govern themselves, but the
Catholic Church believes itself oppressed as long as it
does not govern the conscience of others. Who can
forgot in its history the inquisition, or St. Bartholomew,
or the war of the Cireennes, or the revccation of the
edict of Nantes? When, two months ago, a
Paris journal undertook the defence of the
inquisition, it was in the truth of Catholicism. The
demonstration was accused of being inopportune:
inopportune and rash it may have been, but false it
e,rsainly was not. The English csn remember Thomas
I Beck. t, vho owed his glory to his obstinate resistance
to the wishes of his sovereign ; they can point to the
eunpowiler p!ot, and to King James, supported by Louis
XIV., to make the country Ca• bode in spite of itself.
In fact, their whole history is full of lessons of the am-
bition and intrigues of the Court of Rome, of the
trouble which it causes in all states where it dominates.
But what need of history have we when we have b -fore
our eyes Piedmont and France ? Who arrests Pied-
mont at present in her efforts to obtain civil liberty ?
Who urges the bishops against the Constitution ? Who
forbids the people to obey the law of the State ? Who
glorifies those culprits whom the justice of their
country has condemned ? Who profits by our
misfortunes, by the incapacity of our statesmen, to
resume, except in name, all the privileges of state-
religion ? Who brings us back these artisans of dis-
cord, these public poisoners, branded with reprobation
less by the sentence of a Pope and the decisions
of our Parliaments than by the hatred with which the
people pursues them? Who, after having asked only
for liberty, dictates it conditions to the Ministers of the
Republic, remove; from ell functions the unbelieving or
the dissenting, asks to have the disciplinary prescriptions
of the Church, and seiz.s as a right on the exclusive
monopoly of public instruction? If England could have
any doubt as to what is to take place in her country
from this newly-created clergy, let her cast her eyes un
Ireland. The council of Thurles has been scarcely ter-
minated, when of its acts—the only one published—is
the letter which forbids the Catholics to frequent the
mixed universities founded by the State at Cork, Gal-
way. and Belfast. In the apostolic letter which
establishes the episcopal hirearchy in England the
Pope does not conceal his hopes. It is to
favour propagandism that he creates bishops—
it is that the number of neophytes should increase
daily, and at least cover all England. The
new Cardinal is not less explicit, as, after having feli-
citated the Church of England on having again recovered
its orbit in the firmament, he exclaims, This day opens
to us a brilliant prospect Thus it is not to live that he
ask, it is to spread; he comes not as a priest, but as an
apostle. This religion, though only just emancipated,
openly aspires to supplant that of the State. Heucelor-
ward the Court of Rome has in England an interest in
opposition to that of Queen Victoria; it has there a re-
venue, an army, and generals, and will every day endea-
vour to obtain fresh followers, who will be at the same
time its subjects. This is what touches the patriotic
feeling of England—this is what causes her clergy, her
universities, and her political men to cry out. They
have so much the more reason to cry out that Catholic
emancipation gives the right to the Pope and the Ca-
tholics. They cannot be driven out, but they must be
watched. The Archbishop of Westminster is at present
only the guest of England, but to-morrow he may be, he
must be, her enemy."
In the Assembly General FABVIER brought for-
ward a motion for the liberation of ABD-EL-KADER,
in accordance with the formal promise given to him
by the Dun D'AUMALE and 133 General LAMORICIERE,
which promise hat been his inducement to surrender
The motion was opposed by General SCHRAMM, the
Minister of War, who declared distinctly that the
promise had only been given to obtain possession of
the person of ABD-EL-KADER, and that it would be
absurd to suppose that such promises so given by a
General to attain his object were ever intended to he
observed. There were repeated interruptions during
the course of the General's speech, but the motion
was rejected by a large majority.
The movement of concentration of troops on the
eastern frontier of France continues. The garrison
of Luneville is now stronger than it has been for a
considerable length of time.

The Algiers —journals of the 19th state that the
cholera has broken out again, and that 23 deaths oc-
curred on the 17th and 18th.

The gerants of the Assemblie National and of the
Gazette de France were tried on Monday on a charge
of libelling the President of the REPUBLIC, and were
acquitted.
The dispute between the Assembly and the Minister
of the Interior on the subject of the appointment of
the police of the Assembly continues, and it is
probable that the resignation of M. BAROCHE may be
the consequence.
The Committee on the Budget yesterday exa-
mined all the amendments proposed on the Paris and
Avignon Railway Bill. It is expected that this im-
portant question will soon have a definitive solution.

M. D'ESAGE, who was political director of the Mi-
nistry of Foreign Affairs under the Government of the
ex-King Louis PHILIPPE, and whose en:ire confi-
dence he possessed, died yesterday in Paris.
Bordeaux was on Thursday visited by a long and
violent storm of wind. The English brig Clara, of
Gufrniey, was driven on the bank Des Olives, and
went to pieces. The captain was drowned, but the
crew of seven men escaped in the boat.
The speculators at the Bourse appear to be much
discouraged by the accounts from Germany, and
public securities declined considerably. The Five
per Cents. opened at 92f. 25c., rose to 921. 35c., fell
subsequently to 911. 40c., and closed at 91f. 50e.
