LLEWELYN AND BAN GO R SL ATE
COMPANY.—ON THE COST BOOK PRINC IPLE.
Tiro Llewelyn Quarry is a part of a Sett of Thirty _.ores, ill the
Parish. of Llanilechil, Carnarvonshire, at the of the Llewelyn
nountain, six miles from the Port of Bangor, a Lea us of whL:ll, 10r
Twenty-nine Years, has been secured at the usual Royalty.
The Sett comprises 12 Acres of Slate and about 20 Acres for the
deposit of waste, and adjoins the Estate of Colonel the Ilonourabls
Edward Douglas Gordon Pennant, M.P. The Hate Bed or L(Kle
being a continuation of the great Roofing Slate formation worked by
him at the celebrated Penrhyn Quarry, from which the Llewelyn
Quarry is distant about half-a-mile'.
It will be a matter of suprise to the public to find that a Quarry
immediately adjoining the P..nrhyn Quarry, which for the last
twenty years or more has yielded a profit of upwards of 80,0001. per
annum, should now be in the market : the circumstance is, how-
ever, thus accounted for.
In the Valley at the foot of the Penrhyn Quarry, close to the
River Ogwen and the Turnpike-road, the course of the Slate has
been diverted from a straight line by the upri,ing of a huge mass
of Green Stone, throwing a portion of the Slate Bed or Lode
which is he-e about 500 yards wide to the north-west ; this western
branch passes under the village or Bethesda, close to which are the
Pandraineog and Coytmor Quarries, now in full operation ; the
other portion of the Bed keeps its original course, about iiorth-east,
and dips under a lolly ridge of Millar er Clay Slate, and has hitherto
been lost to the miner and geologist. It has, however, lately been
d scovered, that on the north side of the lianas ridge the Reofiag
Slate lies cnly about four fathoms below the surface.
The discovery was made a few weeks since by sinking a shaft
about two.thirds down the slope of the ridge or mountain, below
which point there is sufficient fall for the deposit of waste, and every
facility for working a Quarry oa an extensive scale. The Slate is of
the fittest quality and colour.
In three months sufficient Slate Rock may be cleared of the over-
lying Rifles to supply from fifty to 100 Quarrymen and Dressers,
and a further extent of ground progressively opened. The Slate
raised it the Llanberis and Penrhyn Quarries leaves a profit of at
:cast 100 per cent. on the Labour Cost ; and this Quarry when
opened, if worked with skill and energy, cannot fail to be equally
profitab:e.
This important discovery it is now proposed to work out
by a Company in 5,000 Shares of 41. each, Dep-s t I/. per Share
(a perion of which has already been taken). It is estimated
that 20,0001. may ultimately be required to develope the re-
sources of this extensive and valuable Sett; but, in accordance with
the cost-book principle, no call can be m:.de without the sanction of
a majority of the shareholders.
For the remaining shares and prospectus, application to be made
to Mr. T. Uzielli, broker, 75, Old Broad-street, and to the office of
the Company, 7, Lothbury.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.
The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head
Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
rep- rt, which is too lengthy for publication :
• During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in Englon::,
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 280/.—making
together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.
The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1:49, and
the 31st of \lay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
ProposiVs were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.:
of these 12 comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1231. Gs.
Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon shish 3201. 3s.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums
Since the commencement-of the Company to the Itt of Tone last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. lie. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,990/. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. ls., leaving the yearly income on the let of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. 11d.
since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. 1 Is. 10d. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four months they had considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters,
who. under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Pails,
the Cardinal Archbish p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Par.sis, Eveque
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con•
siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An-
nuities both Immediate and Deferred.
After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
thenks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prosi..ects.

This work contairef an accurate and complete account of the
Lnatomy and PhysitsVg of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
.ortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi-
clan for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.

The dinner, which was of a most sumptuous charac-
ter, wr,s prepared by Messrs. Ring and Brymer ;. and,
usual, the "loving cup" was passed round.
After the usual loyal toasts, the LORD MAYOR pro-
posed " The Army and Navy," to which Colonel Sir
FREDERICK SMITH and the HOD. Captain CARNEGIE
responth-d.
The LORD MAYOR then proposed " The health of
his Excellency the American Minister and the other
Ambassadors from Foreign Courts." His Lordship
highly complimented Mr. Lawrence upon the manner
in which he had fulfilled his mission at this Court,
and expressed great gratification at his presence upon
this occasion.

The toast was most warmly applauded.
Mr. ABBOT LAWRENCE, the American Minister,
ho was received with cheers, said,—l thank you for
the courtesy and very kind manner in which you have
received the toast, and on the part of my colleagues
whose health has also been drunk, I beg, with myself,
to effer you, my Lord Mayor and Gentlemen, our
united thanks. I am here to•day by your invitation,
my Lord; and although I am proud to be here, because
I feel it to be a great distinction and a sincere com-
pliment to my country that my health has been drunk,
I confess, my Lord, that there is a tinge of melancholy
mixed with the feeling. This is the last time, my
Lord, that I shall have the honour of attending your
hospitable board as Lord Mayor—(Hear, hear)—
and I ehould be doing injustice to the sentiments of
my country, and to my own feelings, if I were not
now to make known to you, gentlemen; from every
part of England,- as I understand you are, the uni-
form Liminess I have, on the part of the United States,
received during the last year from the chief magis-
trate of the city of .London.—(Cheers.) His more
than princely hospitality. I have constantly partaken
of during his year of office, and I consider it as a
compliment to the citizens of the United States.—
( Hear.) I feel myself constrained to say, further,
that I am proud of now being by circumstances
brought into contact with a great body of men, re-
nowned, both at home and abroad, for their enterprise
and their power—with men who are great donors to
their country and to mankind.—(Cheers.) I meet
you, gentlemen, with feelings of respect and pride. I
meet you with feelings of respect, because I sympa-
thise with you in the great objects you are prosecut-
ing, having been myself for some time engaged in the
same pursuits. I have likewise pride in meeting
you because you hove achieved great and glorio.us
things for your country, and because your example
has not only reached my country, but extended to
every part, or almost to every part, of the civilized
world.—(Cheers.) Yes, gentlemen, I look upon the
establishment of railways as one of the greatest
agents in the civilization of mankind.—(Cheers.)
It has been said, and truthfully said, that he
who causes two blades of grass to grow where
only one grew before is a national and a universal
benefactor. In the same spirit I hold that you,
gentlemen, who have made travelling so cheap that
the poorest creature upon earth cannot afford to walk,
that you who are rapidly bringing together the people
of every country in the world, are great public bene-
factors.—(Hear, hear.) And when I regard my own
country, which stretches from the tropics to the
Frozen Ocean, and see the extent of steam commu-
nication through it, either by railways or steamboats ;
when I contemplate the magnitude of the territory
either already covered or about to be covered by
electric telegraphs, extending, in fact from one end of
the continent to the other, and when I see those
great highways of intellect and thought enabling us
to communicate with each other at the distance of two
or three thowand miles in thirty or forty minutes, I
confess I am amazed, and not only amazed, but
delighted to see that men are brought so near each
other.—(Hear, hear.) I am delighted, too, to see
here, I will not say two hundred railway kings,
because that is a phrase which is not perhaps popular
—(A laugh)—but railway managers who represent a
capital equal to one-third of the whole National
Debt of England. You, gentlemen, have the
destinies of the nation in your hands.
Under all these circumstances, I confess I feel
most deeply the compliment which the Lord Mayor
has paid to my country in inviting me to
this entertainment. We cannot at present, gentlemen,
realize the full benefits of the railway system; but I
may observe that in every country where railways
have hitherto been established they have been proved
to be the greatest labour saving machines yet in-
vented.—(Hear, bear.) Recollect, gentlemen, that
you are only commencing the application of steam,
both to the navigation of ships and to travelling upon
land.—(Hear, hear.) Forty years ago not a steamer
was to be found upon the Thames, and but twenty-
two years ago, or thereabouts, not a solitary steam-
carriage was to be seen driving its way along the
surface of the land.—(Hear, hear.) I say, then, that
the resources, not only of this country, but of all
countries, so far as the appliances of art and science
are concerned, are increased by the application of
steam. What was the art of printing forty years
after its discovery ?—(Hear, hear.) What is steam
now, forty years after its first application to locomo-
tion ? The first was improved and extended, and I
have no fear in that respect for the second.—(Cheers.)
His Excellency concluded by again complimenting
the Lord Mayor upon his hospitality, and by a warm
expression' of the interest he felt in meeting the re-
presentatives of the great railways of the country—
institutions which he regarded as among the greatest
conservators of intelligence, power, peace, and secu-
rity.— (Cheers.)
The next toast proposed by the LORD MAYOR was
"The House of Commons."
Sir H. VERNEY, M.P., returned thanks in a brief
speech, in the course of which he referred with feel-
ings of pride to the connexion which his ancestors had
with the city of London. The Hon. Baronet men-
tioned that one of his family filled the office of Sheriff
in 1458, of Lord Alayor in 1460, and of Member for
the City in 1462. It was one of the most honourable
characteristics of the City, that the humblest indivi-
dual might, by the exercise of integrity, prudence, and
honour, obtain its highest honours.—(Cheers.)
Foreigners who came to the Great Exhibition next
ye.r would see here the spectacle of a peaceful and
well-governed people. He desired that they should,
at the same time, see that our free institutions in civil
matters, and our Protestant institutions in religious
matters, could, under the blessing of Divine Provi-
nd a moral people.—(Cheers.)

The LORD, MAYOR proposed "The City of London
and its _trade," coupling the name of -Mr. ex-Shei
Nicoll vvith the toast.
Mr. Ni coal., in returning thanks, said—My Lord
Mayor, permit me to tender a very brief, though a
v ry sincere expression of my thanks for the kind
compliment you have been
pleased to bestow upon
me. Let me assure you that it has afforded me much
pleasure once more to partake of your Lordship's

hospitality in this the time-honoured scene of festivity
and loyalty, where all the great and noble in the land
are accustomed freely to commingle with the repre-
sentatives of its commerce.—(Cheers.) Let me take
the advantage. of this opportunity to congra-
tulate your Lordship upon having availed your-
self of so many occasions for sustaining the an•
cient character for hospitality of the great city over
which your Lordship has so ably preiided in the
capacity of its chit magistrate.—(Coter,) And
here let me say that the intimate connexion, the hand
of mutual goad understanding that has existed for
centuries between the officers of the mayoralty and
the shrievalty of the City, has not only remained
during our time simply unimpaired, but the efficacy
of such an arrangement has been further illustrated
and established.—(Cheers.) With regard to the com-
plimentary allusion that your Lordship h-,s so kindly
made to the ancient and honourable offices I have so
recently had the honour to till, I do trust that io my
endeavour faithful iv to die ;barge the duties of my
office, I shall have deserved not only the good opinion
of my fellow-citizens, but also that of the, public in
general.—(Loud cheers.)
The AMERICAN MINISTER proposed " The health
of the Lord Mayor," to whose splendid hospitality he
again bore testimony. Allusion had been made to
the Great Industrial Exhibition of 1851. He Mt
profound interest in the success of that undertaking;
and on the part of the United States he returned his
thanks to the Lord Mayor for the part he bad taken
in promoting its objects. Not only was it fraught
with prospects of the highest benefit to this country,
but its effects would be diffused all over the world.

It would be a benefit to mankind,--(Hear, hear.)
Great Britain need fear nothing from the comparison
to which she would be exposed. In all the substan-
tial arts it was futile to say that, with the advantages
of cheap capital and cheap labour, our skill and en-
ergy would be last in the race. To tell him that
the lusty, broad-shouldered, energetic old Saxon
would be last in the race was simply utopian ; and
he was of opinion with the late Sir Robert Peel,
upon the, last occasion when he had the pleasure of
hearing him in public, when he stated that this
country had nothing to apprehend from any foreign
nation whatever.—(Hear, hear.)
The LORD MAYOR briefly returned thanks, ob-
serving in the course of his address that his merits
had been described in too brilliant terms. If he
could have fulfilled all that had bean said of him he
should have been the greatest man upon record ; but
he had done what lay in his power, and they must
take the will for the deed.—(Cheers.) From the
time he accepted office it had been his earnest wish tol
discharge his duties faithfully and correctly ; and
though much had been omitted he had done his best,
and for what he had done he was amply rewarded by
the approbation of that assembly and of his fellow-
citizens.—(Cheers.) His Lordship then proposed
" The Directors of the London and North-Western
Railway Company," a toast that was most heartily
applauded.
Mr. SMITH said it fell to his lot, in the absence of
Mr. Glyn, the deputy-chairman of the London and
North-Western Company, to return the acknowledg-
ments of the directors of that company for the honour
conferred upon them, and in doing so he could not
but regret the absence of Mr. Glyn, who would more
adequately express their sense of the ,Lord Mayor's
kindness. He (Mr. Smith) was sure he should only
utter the feelings of his colleagues when he said that
they felt the compliment to be the greater, associated
as they were at his Lordship's table with so many
gentlemen engaged in large and varied, and many
of them in kindred, enterprises, because they
could best appreciate the difficulties which beset
umiertakings of magnitude and importance.—(Hear..)
His Excellency the American Minister had adverted
to the benefits which mankind would derive from the
introduction of railways, and he (Mr. Smith) doubted
not that not only thiti country, but the whole world
would derive all the benefit thus anticipated from the
vast undertakings which, in their financial, political,
and social results, surpassed any object which had yet
engaged the genius and energy of man.—(Cheers.)
The directors were duly sensible of the moral respon-
sibilities imposed upon them in the management of
those important works, and their ambition would be
to perform worthily the duties they had undertaken.
The LORD MAYO% next gave—" The Deputy-
Chairman and Directors of the Midland Railway

Mr. MALE said he regretted the absence of the
chairman of the Midland Company, who would in
his own earnest manner have heartily acknowledged
the compliment paid to the directors of that rail way.—
(Hear.) He (Mr. Bale) would observe that, in
carrying out so vast a system of intercommunication
no doubt great mistakes had been made, not only by
railway directors, but by others, and many railways
had been made which would have borne delay ; hut
the history of railways must be measured by the lit'e
of tbe country rather than by the life of men, and if
so regarded, the shareholders of most lines would still

The next toast was " The Chairman and Directors
of the York and North Midland Railway Company."
Mr. 'THOMPSON, chairman of the company, briefly
acknowledged the compliment, but ina tone
that so low
that we could not bear his remarks.
The LORD MAYOR, after a few complimentary re-
marks, proposed " The health of Mr. Paxton," as a
gentleman to whom the success of the Great Indus-
trial Exhibition would be mainly owing. The toast
was received with cheers.
Mr. PAX TON, who was
warmly applauded, said—
My Lord Mayor, I feel exceedingly flattered by the
kind manner in which you have proposed my health;
and I am extremely grateful to ,you, gentlemen, for
the manner in which you have responded to the toast.
You have been pleased to associate my name with the
Great Industrial Exhibition of 1851, in respect to
which I have had the honour to play rather a con-
spicuous part. I do not think this a proper oppor-
tunity to enter into a lengthened description of the
great building I have had the honour to design ; but
perhaps you will be kind enough to allow me to ob-
serve, that in sending in the design for that great un-
dertaking I was not actuated by any selfish motive,
or by any conceited opinion as to my ability to carry
it out, but that the success of the exhibition was the
only object I had in view.—(Cheers.) I saw that
there was great jeopardy connected with the whole
undertaking, and seeing the forcible arguments
put forward against the f o
proposed plan a brick
building, I set vigorously to work to endea-
vour to rescue it, and I never relaxed or rested
an instant until I had succeeded in effecting the
object I had in view.—(Cheers.) I know that the
building is considered a great novelty, but it is no
experiment, because there is not a single feature in it
which I have not myself carried out at Chatsworth
and other places.—(Hear, hear.) I feel perfectly
certain as to the result.—(Hear, bear.) I claim no
merit whatever for the plan which I have proposed,
for in submitting it I did no more than any other
Englishman in similar circutnstances would have
done.--(Hear, hear.) I saw there was a difficulty,
and I merely came forward to assist in removing it as
far as lay in my power. I believe, my Lord Mayor,
that the Exhibition will tend more to the benefit of
mankind than any other circumstance that has yet oc
curred in the history of this country, or perhept in
the history of the world. Dly friend (Sir Frederick
Smith) has referred to the utility of railways as a
means of carrying troops from one place to another ;
but I hope, at least as long as I tern a railway direc-
tor, that we shall rather have to carry the banners of
peace than the horrid missiles of war. I feel that in
connexion with the Exhibition they v ill assist in
exhibiting our arts, our manufactures, and our ma-
terial progress.—(Hear, hear.) I believe, then, that
this country has done itself the greatest possible
honour in proposing this great undertaking ; and,
as it is the first exhibition of the world's industry,
I hope it will not be the laste—(Hear, hear.) I believe
and hope that our friends on the other side the At-
lantic, who have become a great people like ourselves,
Kill, in cones quence of it, cress the broad ocean in
great numbers to see the mother country ; and I am
sure Celt if they do, they will find us still stout-
hearted—still vigorous, like the old English oak,
though branches are continually shooting off from us
—still happy and c9ntented with our instituting,

(Hear.) I hope that the Exhibition, if it does no-
thing else, will tend to cement the nations of the earth
together; and what I particularly wish and feel most
anxious about is, that we should give a hearty recep-
tion to the people of every country in the world, so
that they may return to their own lands happy and
satisfied, and able to inform their friends and neigh-
bours of the welcome reception they mot with in Eng-
land.—(Loud cheers.)
The remaining toasts were " The High Sheriff of
Surrey," to v hieh Mr. Prcshfit.ld rf sponded; "The
Lady Mayoress," which was acknowlcdg9d by the
Lord Mayor ; and " The Manngera and Oaken" of
the Railway Companies," which was suitably acknow-
ledged by CAptain Huish and Mr. Watkin.
Mr. Hlrker officiated ts toastmaster; and the pro-
ceedings were greatly enlivened by the vocal per-
formances of Miss Ransford, Miss Bassano, Mr.
HolineF, Mr. W. E. Ransford, Mr. 11. Phillips, and
Mr. Ransfoz.d. Mr. Harper also played a solo upon
the trumpet.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—The letter of Lord John ;Russell to the
Bishop of Durham, which we publish elsewhere, de-
serves the deepest attention. It is a clear and uncom-
promising statement of principles and opinions which
are entertained with wonderful unanimity by all the
wise and moderate in this country. Sweeping aside
with manly vigour the false and sophistical analogies
in which the subject has been sought to be en-
tangled, Lord John Russell points at once to the real
merits of the question—the assumption of authority
over her Majesty's subjects and supremacy over her
dominions. But treating these empty bravadoes of a
petty foreign Prince with comparative contempt, he
proceeds to point to the fountain and origin of the
evil—the apostasy of a large number of the English
clergy, who have prepared the way by secret treason
for this open attack upon our Church and Crown.
These sentiments, as terse and vigorous as they are
wise and true, would command respect from whatever
quarter they came, but their importance is infi-
nitely enhanced when we consider that they are
the deliberate opinions of a statesman, the tried
friend of toleration, who has now, alas! no equal in
knowledge of our Constitution and experience of its
working, and whose mind is deeply iwbued with the
spirit of that ancient limited monarchy which has
descended to us alone of all the nations of Europe
pure and unimpaired. Still more important is this
letter as a solemn pledge given by the head of our
Executive Government to the nation, that the two
enormous grievances which it points out shall not re-
main unredressed. If the law be comprehensive
enough to reach the offenders, it will be put in
force; if not, Lord John Russell still expresses a
persuasion, in which all will join, that we are strong
enough to repel all outward attacks. Nor can we
believe that Lord John Russell has thus publicly
and emphatically called attention to the apostasy of
many clergymen of our own Church, who are
acting within her precincts the part of Roman
Catholic Propagandists, and of whose abandon-
ment of their insidious courses he expresses no
hope, merely for the purpose of holding up those
persons to obloquy and disgrace, however well
merited. We trust we see in these expressions signs
of a purpose, not yet perhaps fully matured, but ra-
pidly growing towards completion—the purpose of
cleansing our Church from the discredit cast upon her
quite as much by the treachery as by the schism of
her members—the purpose of rendering our univer-
sities something better than schools of Popery and
mysticism—the purpose of restoring to us our Church
such as the Reformation gave it to us, the child of
light and reason, unclouded by superstition, unde-
graded by priestcraft, clear and comprehensive in her
doctrines, built upon truth, and abhorring falsehood.
If Lord John Russell does really entertain such in:
tentions, we are convinced he may count with confi-
dence on the support of the English people, who are
above all things lovers of truth, and who, though per-
fectly willing to tolerate any difference of opinion
from their own, will not tolerate the domineering
spirit which seeks for supremacy because it has been
allowed equality, nor the sordid treachery which
hides its insidious advances under the mask of a hollow
conformity.
DAILY NEWS.--The resignation of the Prus-
sian Minister, Radowitz, in consequence of his col-
leagues and his Court refusing to support him in
summoning the country to arias and resisting the
conditions imposed on Germany by the Czir Nicholas,
is as honourable to that statesman as it is disgraceful
and annihilating to the Prussian monarchy. The
terms dictated by the Czar, however veiled, amount
to no less than the sacrifice by Prussia, of all the
principles for which she contended, and of all the
allies which her previous hardihood encouraged. But
for Prussian support, Schleswig and Holstein would
never have gone the length they have done. But for
the countenance, the attitude, the constitutional
words of the Prussian Sovereign, the people at Hesse-
Cassel would not have ventured resistance in behalf
of their rights, nor its officers resigned as one man.
The total desertion of them by Prussia, as well
as of the principles of representative Govern-
ment in Germany, to which so many Princes adhered,
will, if definitively consented :to, be one of the most
treacherous, the most infamous and felonious acts ever
committed by a Government. From such disgrace
General Radowitz has at least washed his hands, by a
prompt resignation, one of the first genuinely consti-
tutional acts of a public man in Prussia. Had he,
with equal truth and boldness, observed constitutional
principles in his acceptance of office and his manage-
ment of affairs, he would have avoided the difficulties
into which he fell. First of all, his acceptance of office
in the midst of a cabinet not true either to him or to
the German question, was a fault. Secondly, his in-
trusting the mission to Warsaw to Count Brandenburg,
a connexion of royal houses, and the weakest of cour-
tiers, was an unpardonable error. Count Brandenburg
was in fact tricked and cajoled at Warsaw,where under
pretence of ceding the letterof the Prussian demands, the
whole spirit of the arrangement went against Pruse
sian and German interests. Thus, it is said (though
nothing is as yet certain) that the temporary arrange
snent at Warsaw to which Count Brandenburg con •
stinted was, that for the present Prussia should keep
peace and regulate matters in the states of the Union,
Austria having equal sway in the states that acknow-
ledged the Diet. Now, the Princes of Holstein and
Hesse, the two countries where constitutional dis-
putes exist, have certainly sent envoys to the Diet,
whilst the states and populations are fur the Union.
By admitting that the mere voice of the Prince de-
cided, and that constitutions were nothing, Count
Brandenburg gave up every question at issue.
And his doing so gave at once to the Bavarians the
pretext and apparently the right to invade Hesse, as
it gave Hanover at Austrian bidding, the right and
the pretext to invade Holstein to-morrow. Against
such concessions as these, as well as against the
assenting to a compromise on the German question,
which must finally render Austria mistress of Ger-
many, the spirit of Radowitz rose indignant, as did
that of the Crown Prince of Prussia ; nay, it is said,
the spirit of the King himself. The latter, however,
has, we regret to say, laid the sword of the great
Frederick at the feet. of the Czar. Napoleon ravished
that weapon from Potsdam after the battle of Jena ;
but he left millions of Prussian hearts burning to re-
cover it, and but waiting the opportunity to do so.
Whilst now Count Brandenburg carries the military
honour and the political independence of the King off
to Warsaw, and consigns it to the Czar, without one
Prussian heaving a sigh for the dishonoured dynasty,
or making one vow for its restoration. Atter all,
what is it to the dweller on the Oder, the Elba, or
the Rhine, that the House of Hohenzollern should
descend from its kingly, or what is synonymous, its
heroic rank, for they were kings of Prussia solely
by their heroism ? The race that fills the wide plains
which extend south of the Baltic may cease to be
Prussian to-morrow, for the name, in fact, exists
more in the dynasty than in the nation. If denied
honourable and independent existence as Prussians,
they can, at least, survive as Germans, and, as such,
are as indestructible as the sands which are fertilised
by their industry, and which have been ennobled by
their blood. The Czar will not have them Germans.
He insists on a new empire, more than half made up
of Croats and Serbs, and Gallicians and Illyrians,
the German and the free elements overgrown and
overwhelmed by the Sclavonian and the servile. And
to consent to this, to force down the neck of that dy-
nasty, which represented the old Teutonic franchise
and stock, need we say that the house of Hohen-
zellern would brand itself with a stigma that not even
centuries of heroism could efface ? As to the Teutonic
race, they would not want avengers ; they would
soon find leaders. For years they have sought just
leaders with all trust and humility in the Princes that
Providence and fortune had set over them. Most cf
these have failed, have been worse than wanting, for
they have been traitors to the German cause. Are
the Germans to he blamed, if their first war cry of
the next uprising be the terrific one of war" to
Princes ? Let us, however, not decide or vaticinate
too rashly. We speak as yet upon presumption,
strong indeed, deep fraught with fear and with de-
spair. For it is not a light or grateful thing, to
abandon all hope of a country's retrieval from
its natural chiefs and protectors. Germany
might have been saved by its princes and its states-
men. We have always said so, whilst the democrats
. with passion denied that it could be so. But if events

come to justify these prognostications, we too must
fain put faith in democracy. We should prefer it in
its wildest frenzy to the establiobtnent (,f a universal
Cossack empire over Rome.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
ADMIRALTY VISIT TO PORTSMOUTH.

Rear-Admiral Deans Dundas, C. 8., M.P., Captain
Houston Stewart, C.B.,and Captain Sir B. W. Walker,
K.C.8., the surveyor f the navy, paid a short official
visit to Portsmouth yesterday morning. They arrived
on Tuesday evening, and dined with the Rear-Admiral
superintendent. After breakfast yesterday morning the
board transacted business at the Admiral's office, and
then proceeded to the Retribution steam frigate, Captain
Warden, now in dock receiving additional false keel.
They were accompanied by the Commander-in-Chief and
Admiral Prescott, C. 8., Mr. Fincham, the master ship-
wright, and other officers of the yard. They then visited
and minutely inspected the Hogue, 60, screw steam-
guardship, Capt. Macdougal, and, accompanied by him,
went down below to her engine-room, and also over the
other parts of this fine ship. They also, attended by
Mr. Hay, chemical assistant, went under her bottom to
inspect her sheathing, which, as we stated, appears
to be in very excellent preservation, though, as it bas
not been on long„ no good judgment can be formed of
its durability. Her dockyards repairs will be completed
on the 9th instant, but when she will be out of the hands
of the engineers seems uncertain, as there is much more
to be done than was anticipated. The members of the
Admiralty, the port and superintendent admirals, Mr.
Fincham, Mr. Murray, and a number of captains and
other officers, on leaving the Hogue, repaired to the
office of the chemical department to see and inspect a
rewly-invented motive machine. This engine, or ma-
chine, has been constructed by Mr. Hay, and will be ap-
plied as an auxiliary power fur propelling line-of-battle
ships and frigates, and it is intended to entirely super-
sede the use of steam and fire, whereby ships will dis-
pense with coal-bunkers and boilers, which, occupying
so much space, often render a man-of-war's armament
incomplete, and tike away the principal stowage for
water and provisions. The machine os yet is in an in-
complete state, but on the application of the moving
power, sufficient satisfaction was afforded to all present;
and the Board were so gratified that directions were
given that Mr. Hay might have a perfect machine made
and practically tested on board the Bee, steamer, when-
ever he is prepared to carry out his invention. The
engine model was on a tolerably large scale, and the
power, though very :active, and unlimited in strength,
seemed well under control.
The Board, after lunching with Admiral Prescott, left
Portsmouth for London, and arrived at the Admiralty
last night.
THE FRENCH. FLEET.—The French fleet got under
weigh in Torbay on Monday, at half.past four P.M., and
proceeded to the westward, ;wind W.N.W., strong and
dirty; and at 4.30 r.m. on Tuesday the fleet were in

WooLwicri, Nov. 6.—The Banshee steam-vessel,
Master-Commander William Smithett, went down the
river yesterday to try her speed at the measured mile in
Sea-reach, when only using the two aft out of her four
boilers. Mr. Humphrys, Chief Engineer at Woolwich
Dockyard, went down in her, and the result was very
satisfactory, as she made an average speed of twelve
knots, or 13.827 statute miles per hour in ten runs over
the measured mile, five up and five down. Three of the
runs were made in a very short space of time, but the
others were against showing her true speed, as she had
to diverge out of the straight line owing to the number
of vessels in the river. The Banshee was taken into the
basin to-day to be made ready as a packet steam-vessel
for the Mediterranean station.

The Buzzard steaca-sloop was taken out of the basin
to-day, and will leave for Devonport on Friday or Satur-
day next, in charge of Lieutenant Robertson, with a
party of seamen.
The Pluto steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Jol-
liffe, was taken into the basin to-day, preparatory to
being paid cif on Friday next.

insufficient, and the sale was conseqently adjourned.
Some house property, situate in Dublin, part of
the estate of the Messrs. Dickenson, was sold at
prices satisfactory to the purchasers. Several small
properties in Sligo and Limerick were knocked down
at low prices, while for some others the biddings were
considered so far below the present market value
that the sales were postponed.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

NEWS 1 O THE POPE.
•
COWLS, Nov. 11,%.
For years Guy Fawkes has been a stranger to our
streets, and ontires have been prohibited here, but
the impudence of the Pope's Ball has brought them
both to light again. The whole of this day the town
and neighbourhood have been on a move. At twelve
o'clock the effigy of a cardinal in full canonicals, so
highly finished off that it would not have oisgraced
Madame Tussaud's collection, made its appearance
and was paraded through the different streets, and
soon after that of a second personage, a short man
clothed in black, with a white cravat, a book in hand,
and on his Ilat, in large figures, " gO," " The traitor,
the hypocrite." The procession closed about severe
o'clock, when the shops were simultaneously shut,
and the houses end strects were deserted, the whole
population rushing to the beach near Egypt, w here an
immense pile of tar barrels, sugar hogsnt ads, furnished
by the shipbuticrs and tr4destnen, and a quantity of
fag-gots from. Mr.lVard's plrk, were. fired, -t n'! the two
efligirs Here turn% A quantity of fireworks were
also discharged. Wu are happy to say tkat the
greatest order prevailed nutting the multitude present.
he !urroundicg ceuntly seemed to be in a blaze.
No less than thirteen fins could be seen at once on
the opposite coast of Hainpshire, and there was not a
hamlet. in this island wi•nout one. Nu annoyance
was offered to the C:Athol.e. ii,habitants ; the multitude
noticed only tai: Pope and his tools.

Great fears are entertained for the safety of the
Ant schooner, Undtrwood master, of this port, from
Newport, Wales, with coals for Southampton. She
sailed from thence on the 22d ult., and has not since
been heard of.
