NEW LIFE OF TASSO.
Now ready, in 2 vols., 21s. bound,
REV. R. MIL MAN'S
LIFE OF TASSO.
(From the " Edinburgh Review," just published.)
" Mr. Milman's book has considerable merit. He has evidently in
his interesting biography of Tasso undertaken a labour of love. His
diligence has been great, his materials are copious and well-arranged,
and his sketches of the poet's contemporaries form agreeable episodes
in the narrative of Tasso's works and woes."—Edinburgh Review.

bition, will not fail to impart an additional ardour
to the preparations, end must necessarily inspire a
greater amount of confidence in its ulterior
success, For these reasons, as well as for
mt.ny others sufficiently obvious to remove the
necessity for their enumeration, we cannot
but view the proceedings which have rendered the
25th of October, 1850, a day memorable in the annals
of the municipality of York with, a peculiar and en-
grossing satisfaction. These proceedings will, for in-
stance, exercise a beneficial influence over the inter-
course of the various classes of the population, uniting
them together more firmly than hitherto in the bonds
of sympathy and friendship, inspiring them with a
keener sense of their mutual relation to each other,
and filling them with a solicitude to advance by every
means in their power the blessed labours of a peaceful

civiliz

Frequently as Prince ALBERT has already evinced
the capacities of his large and cultivated intellect,
often as his Royal Highness has betrayed the amiable
suavity of his disposition, he has never done either the
one or the other more agreeably than in the eloquent
sentiments which fell from his lips yesterday. The
oration in which he responded to the toast proposed
by the Lord Mayor of YORK to the health of the
PRINCE CONSORT will go far, we are satisfied, to en-
hance his already wide and enviable popularity.
Not only in the happy sentences which constituted
its framework, but in the generous feelings
which were at once its undercurrent and its inspira-
tion, that speech is entitled to a very peculiar and
emphatic commendation. It reveals most conspicu-
ously the intelligence with which the illustrious
orator watches the development of the energies of
England, and displays, moreover, in addition to this,
the truthfulness with which its welfare is made the
object of his most earnest aspirations. Perhaps the
portion of this harangue which will excite the
largest share of attention throughout the country
is one, however, merely incidental in its character.
We mean the allusion made by Prince ALBERT
to the abrupt and melancholy disappearance of that
illustrious member of the Commission, whose sudden
death is yet lamented by all citizens of the empire
as a national calamity. Incidental as this re-
ference was at its commencement, it gradually
assumed to itself, in the emphatic words
of the PRINCE CONSORT, the tone of a funereal pane-
gyric. So admirable, indeed, is the eulogium in all
particulars, that we eagerly transfer it to our leading
columns as the posthumous homage paid to the de.
parted statesman by the CONSORT of our So-
VEREIGN. " There is but one alloy," said his
Royal Highness "to my feelings of satisfaction and
pleasure in seeing you here assembled again ; and
that is the painful remembrance that one is missing
from amongst us—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear")
—who felt so warm an interest in our scheme, and
took so active a part in promoting its success ; the
last act of whose public life was attending at the
Royal Commission ; the admiration for whose talents
and character, and the gratitude for whose de-
votion to the QUEEN and private friend-
ship towards myself, I feel a consolation
in having this public opportunity to express.
—(Hear, hear.) Only at our last meeting, we were
still admiring his eloquence, and the earnestness with
which he appealed to you to uphold by your exertions
and personal sacrifices what was to him the highest
object, the honour of his country (Cheers)—he
met you the following day, together with other com-
missioners, to confer with you upon the details of
our undertaking, and you must have been struck,
as everybody has been who has had the benefit
of his advice upon practical points, with the
attention, care, and sagacity with which he
treated the minutest details, proving that, to a
great mind, nothing is little—(Loud cheering)—
from the knowledge that, in the moral and intellectual
as in the physical world, the smallest point is only a
link in the chain, and holds its appointed place in that
great whole which is governed by the Divine wis-
dom.—(Cheers.) The constitution of Sir ROBERT
PEEL'S mind was peculiarly that of a statesman, and
of an English statesman.—(Loud cheers.) He was
liberal from feeling, but conservative upon principle.
—(Renewed cheering.) Whilst his impulse drove
him to foster progress, his sagacious mind and
great experience showed him how easily the
whole machinery of a state, and of society, is
deranged—(Hear, hear)—and how important, but
how difficult, also, it is to direct its further deve-
lopment in accordance with its fundamental prin.
ciples, like organic growth in nature.—(Cheers.) It
was peculiar to him that in great things as in small,
all the difficulties and objections occurred to him first.
—(Hear.) He would anxiously consider them, pause,
and warn against rash resolutions ; but having con-
vinced himself, after long and careful investigation,
that a step was not only right to be taken, but of the
practical mode also of safely taking it, it became to
him a necessity and a duty to take it.—(Cheers.) All
his caution and apparent timidity changed into
courage and power of action, and, at the same time
readiness to make any personal sacrifice which its
execution might demand.—(Prolonged cheering.)"
From this tribute of regard and admiration to the
memory of Sir ROBERT PEEL, Prince ALBERT re-
verted to the subject of the approaching contest be-
tween the commerce and the industry of the various
nations of the four continents. It will be observed with
pleasure by all the well-wishers of the Exhibition, that
his Royal Highness augurs well for the success of
that great spectacle from the progress already made
in the way of its development. So far from any in-
difference having been displayed in any quarters,
as some have endeavoured most unfairly to inti-
mate, it would appear from the express declaration
of the PRINCE CONSORT that, both at ht me and
abroad, the different competitors have shown them-
selves most zealous, active, and energetic. Another
admirable portion of the speech
delivered m
yesterday
notterday
beevenainllgowedby to hispassito unnoticed--vie Highnessotieed—we mean that
in which he took occasion to commend
the large and comprehensive liberty secured to
all the citizens of England by her Constitution.
" Taking this view of the character of our country,"
said the PRINCE, " I was pleased when I saw the
plan of the Exhibition of 1551 undergo its ordeal
of doubt, discussion, and even opposition." The
remark was a graceful response to the many virulent
attacks levelled against the whole project, and of all
others was about the best calculated to disarm the fury
of its antagonists. Such observations as these having
been elicited by the festivities of yesterday, it mus t
be sufficiently apparent that we had reason
at the outset of our commentaries to felicitate the
provinces at large, and the city of York especially, on
an occasion so creditable to all parties concerned in it,
and so directly calculated to advance the interests of
the community, both social and commercial.

We are rejoiced to find that the gauntlet thrown
down by the POPE to the Protestants of all sects and
denominations, subjects of her Majesty the QUEEN of
these realms, has been so promptly taken up. The Pro-
testant clergy of Westminster, who at their ordination
declared that the " Bishop of Rome bath no jurisdic-
tion in this realm of England," have come forward to
vindicate the rights of the Church and of the country,
whioh have been wantonly assailed by the nomination
on the part of the POPE of a Romish ecclesiastic to the
title of Archbishop of an English city, and by the
illegal attempt on the part of the Court of Rome to
organize a new territorial division of this realm. The
impudent-nature of this assumption of power, when
compared Ns ith the utter impotence of him who as-
sumes it, appears at first sight so absurd, that many
persons have considered the whole affair as too ridicu-
lous to be entitled to serious attention ; but to such
persons we would remark, that this assump-
tion of power on the part of the POPE must
not he considered as an isolated act, but as one of
a series of acts, and that this Papal Bull must be read
in conjunction with the acts and deeds of the ultra-
montane party not only in this country but through-
out: Europe, and so read, it is impossible not to
come to the conviction that this is an overt act in the
great treasonable conspiracy for the destruction of the
civil and religious liberties of mankind, for the perver-
sion of education to the purposes of priestcraft, and for
the re-establishment of a grinding, intolerant, per-
secuting, grasping, sacerdotal despotism. The
Polls, by the publication of this Bull, evidently as-
sumes a right of spiritual supremacy over these
realms, which is not only contrary to law, but is ab-
solutely incompatible with the existence of any
other religion ; for we find that this doctrine of the
papal supremacy,
as expounded, not by an infu-

riated bigot of the 16th century, but by a statesman
and man of the world of the 19th—by M. DE FALLous,
late Minister of Public Instruction of the French Re-
public, and brother of Monsignore DE FALLOUX, one
of the intimate councillors of the POPE—means not
merely intolerance of any other doctrines but perse-
cution to the death of all who deny the Papal supre-
macy. " The Church alone is in possession of the
truth, and it is the dutrof every one who knows he is
in possession of the truth to prevent by the most effec-
tual means in his power the propagation of error,"
says M. DE FALLOUX, and on these principles he justi-
fies the atrocious massacre of St. Bartholomew. Again,
M. DE MONTALEMBEET, who is at this moment in Rome
on a visit to the PoPE, has declared that, for the restore-
ion of what he and his partisans' call " order,"
by which word they mean sacerdotal despotism, it is
absolutely necessary that the most holy, but much
libelled institution, called the Inquisition, should be
restored for the purpose of extirpating; Re-
publicanism, Socialism, and, above all, that
which is the parent of both—Protestantism;
and this declaration was made in this very year of
grace 1850, and preceded by a few months only the
publication of this Bull of the POPE. But it may be
said, these arrogant assumptions cannot be carried
out without large pecuniary means, and the inability
of the POPE to raise money is proverbial. To such
persons we would observe that in Mr. NICHOLAS
WISEMAN the POPE has appointed an agent whose
peculiar talents fur raising money from his penitents,
by cajolery or worse means, are unrivalled. The
following statement has appeared in the columns of a
contemporary :

'• It is a well-known fact that the late Mr. Taylor, in
whose cemetery at Way bridge are deposited the re-
mains of Louis Philippe, was induced on his death-bed,
on his bed of sickness, to disinherit his son and leave his
large property of nigh 3,0001. a year to this very Dr. or
Cardinal Wiseman. It is therefore not mei ely our
consciences that we have to defend against the Papal
Legate, bat our purses, the fortunes of English families,
the independent condition of the land, and of the popu-
lation upon it

As members of the Liberal party, as friends of
civil and religious liberty, as the unflinching advocates
of the rights of the Roman Catholics to an absolute
equality in all things with all their fellow-subjects,we
regret exceedingly the publication of this Bulb
as it shows too plainly that, not content
with equality, which we would always strive
to secure for them, the Roman Catholics
now strive for supremacy, which we never
will acknowledge, and in their attempts to secure
which they can reckon for no support from the
Liberal party. If dui ing the course of the next ses-
sion of Parliament the question of divided allegiance
should be mooted, how will it be possible to deny
that the Roman Catholic owes allegiance to a foreign
Prince, and therefore is, to a certain extent,
an alien ? And if, seeing the treatment that Dr.
ACHILLI and other Protestant British subjects
have received at Rome, it should be proposed to
extend to the Roman Catholic worship in this country
precisely the same toleration which is extended to
the Protestant worship in Rome, and to treat those
who publish the Bulls of the POPE in this country
in a precisely similar manner to that in which those
are treated in Rome who circulate the authorised
Anglican version of the Scriptures, what possible
right could the spiritual subjects of the POPE have
to complain. And be it remembered, this would
not at all interfere with the exercise of any one
of their civil privileges ? Doubtless, should such
measures be proposed, there would be, as there were
prior to 1829, great professions of liberalism on the
part of the Catholic party, and a stirring appeal made
to liberal sympathies, but, seeing how the promises of
liberalism then made have been kept (witness the
Synod of Thurles, the denunciations of KOSSUTH by
JOHN O'CONNELL, and the epistles by JOHN APHALE
passim), we consider that the members of the Liberal
party will be perfectly justified if they answer all such
appeals with Vouz l'avez voulu, Georges Dandin, vouz
l'avez voulu , and abstain from taking any active part
in the matter.

RETURN OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT.
—The special train carrying his Royal Highness and
suite left York at eight o'clock this morning, and
reached the Euston station at 12.50, thus performing
the journey in four hours and fifty minutes. The
Prince, accompanied by Colonel Grey and Lieut.-
Colonel Seymour, immediately proceeded to the
Waterloo station of the South-Western Railway, en
route to U: borne.

RETURN OF THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON.—
The special train conveying his Lordship and party
left York at nine o'clock, and reached the Euston
station at 1.55, the journey having been performed
in four hours and fifty• five minutes.

EXPERIMENT 3 IN THE MARSHES.—WOOLWICH,
Ocr. 25. —Colonel Campbell, Colonel Cruttenden, and Lieut.-
Colonel Chaliner, assistant adjutant-general of Artillery,with
Colonel Pietet, of the Sardinian service, assembled in the
marshes, at one o'clock r.m., to-day, to witness experiments
with a concussion shell on a plan submitted by Colonel
Pietet. The shells, eight in number, and 32-pounders, were
fired at 400 yards range, and answered remarkably well, six
bursting immediately after passing through the bulkhead,
and two failing to explode, one owing to its going through
a creviously broken and weakened part of the bulkhead, and
the other going over the bulkhead without touching it, and
becoming imbedded in the earth of the mound. The charge
of powder during the firing was Glb. to each round, that quan-
tity, after repeated trials, having been considered more satis-
factory in the result of carrying the required distance, and
being less liable to burst the shells at the mouth of the gun.
POCKET . TELEGRAPH FOR THE PREVENTION OF
RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. -An ingenious contrivance for the
prevention, in the event of railway accident,, has been sub-
mit'ed for experimental use to the principal railway compa-
nies by Messrs. Brett, the projectors of the submarine tele-
graph between England and France. The apparatus is a
pocket communicator for the guards or engine-drivers,which
on the instant of any accident can, by the aid of a small roll
of wire be so connected with any point of the main line of
electric telegraph from the train or carriage by the guard
himself, that communications may be easily sent to announce
or guard against accident at any station on the railway.
VALE OF NEATII RAILWAY.—The works on this
railway, from Aberdare to Neath, are being pushed forward
very energetically. Large numbers of men are in full work
on every part of the line, and it is said by sanguine expec-
tants that it will ba opened from Aberdare to Neath by
the month of March ; though better authorities seem to
think that May is a more probable period.—North Wales
Chronicle.

TUB SUPPLY OF HAMBURGR GRAPES.--"-The con-
tinned large importation of this description of grapes has
caused them to be much reduced in price. The samples
which have last arrived from the continent have never been
excelled if they have before ever been equalled, for size and
excellent quality. '

TIIE WEATIIER.—We had a very stormy night
on Thursday. In the valleys we are blessed with a glorious
autumn. The varied tints- on the foliage of the trees,
which is thicker even than in England, being now beautiful ;
but our sublime hills give us an intimation of the approach
of winter, the summits of them being completely covered
with snow.—North Wales Chronicle

DR. PRICE AND DR. CAMPBELL. —We see with
sincere pleasure that a cordial reconciliation has taken place
between the Rev. Dr. Campbell, the editor of the Christian
Witness and British Banner, and Dr. Price, the editor of the
Eclectic Review, between whom there was a heated contro-
versy some months since relative to the transfer of the
Eclectic into other hands. The health of Dr. Price is unfor-
tunatelytlebpnd aslaestate.tw— SiriLn winter-

Mr. and Mrs. Coplestone, the landlord and landlady of the

further remanded, in consequence of a certificate from Mr.
Gore, the surgeon, to the effect that although Mr. Cople.
stone, considering the serious nature of his wounds, was
going on well, he would not be able to appear against his
assailant for some days longer. To prevent the excitement
that would be certain to attend the production of the pri-
soner at the Guildhall, Captain Duff, one of the borough ma-
gistrates, went to the city gaol, and there formally remanded
the prisoner for another week. Mrs. Coplestone is fast re-
covering from the wounds inflicted upon her.
ACCIDENT AT THE BUILDING IN HYDE PARK.—
Considerable excitement prevailed yesterday in the neigh-
bourhood of Hyde Park, in consequence of an unfounded
rumour that three men had been killed, through the
falling of some of the newly-erected columns and girders.
It appears that shortly after seven o'clock yesterday morning
some of the men employed in erecting the columns incauti-
ously removed the poles used in shoring up the columns
previous to the longitudinal girders being placed upon them.
Shortly afterwards some of the men proceeded to raise the
ported columns with the transverse girder to fall. Three
girders, and in fixing the tackle caused two of the unsup-
of the men employed—Welsh, Gower, and Foley—were
at first supposed to have been severely injured, and were
conveyed to St. George's Hospital. Upon inquiry last
night we ascertained, however, that Gower, who fortu-
natey had received only a slight bruise on the hip, and
Foley, who had received a slight injury in the head, had
left the hospital, and would be able to resume work in the
grounds to-day. Welsh, who unfortunately had his leg
broken, still remained in the hospital; but, upon inquiry, we
were informed that he was in as favourable a state as could
be expected. The columns and girder were broken by
the fall; their place was, however, shortly after supplied by
others. tieensyd eawrfisela

Viscount and Viscountess Eastnor arrived at
E istnor Castle on Saturday, the 19th inst., from llighcliffe,
the seat of Lady Stuart de R. othesay, where they have been
sojourning since their marriage. They were met about two
miles from the castle by nearly 200 of Earl Somers' tenants,
well mounted, who escorted them. Several beautiful tri-
umphal arches had been erected. They were received by Earl
Somers and other members of the family. The noble pair
were loudly cheered as they descended from their carriage.
The tenants having partaken of the hospitality of the castle,
dispersed to their several bonzes.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC:

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
General D'HAUTFOUL lift Paris for Algiers on
Thursday.

The Republicans have determined to abstain until
the general election of 1852 from taking part in any
elections which may take place under the law abro-
gating universal suffrage. In 1852 the disfranchised
of the law of the 31st May will everywhere present
themselves at the poll and demand to vote in confor-
mity with the fundamental law of the Constitution,
In every journal there appears a reclamation against
the police-concocted falsehoods of the recently pub-
lished brochure which bears the name of M. TIREL.
In the National of yesterday M. FRESLON pronounces
the statements of M. TIREL, so far as he is concerned,
to be absolutely untrue. M. Ducoux, the ex-Prefect
of Police, writes to say that of the 21,500 f. a month
remitted according to custom by the Minister of the
Interior to the Prefect of Police for secret service,
he did not touch a sou in this respect, following the
example that had been set successively by his prede-
cessors, M. CAUSSIDIERE and M. TROUvE CIIAUVEL.
Prince CALLIMACRI, the Turkish Ambassador in
Paris, had a long conference with General LAHITTE,
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the subject of
the Hungarian refugees. It is said that the Turkish
Government has demanded the good offices of the
British and French Governments against the menacing
demands of the Austrian Cabinet.
Letters from Toulon state that the return of the
Vauban and the steamer Chimere, that had left on
the 10th with troops, was looked forward to with
much anxiety in consequence of the bad weather.
The people of the town of Ouchda on the Moorish
territory, close to the French possessions in Africa,
have demanded the protection of the French troops
against the bands of insurgents who devastate the
country. It was thought probable that, owing to the
state of Morocco, the Governor of Oran would have
to demand reinforcements from France.
