This benevolent anti excellent Latly has been
on a visit to this country. Doting her short stay
site has already, accompanied by her brother Mr.
Gurney, visited Cupar, Dundee, Montrose, Aber-
deen, and Perth ; and it will afford the public
much satisfactiOn to learn, that io all these places
she has found little to complain of, though its
some respects amelioratioos are desirable. At
Aberdeen the bridewell was found extremely well
attended to, awl on au excellent footing , but the
jail is old anti bad, HMI the unfortonate inmates
but ill provided for. At Perth the jail is new,
large, Alia commodious, and the only !biog re-
quired to complete the establishment appears to be
some more effectual means_ fur securing religious
attendance, there being nu clergyman apkoitned hoe
that purpose. On her return to Edinburgh ou
Saturday, Mrs. Fry visited all the jails of this
place, and the Lord Provost having been in-
formed of her intention, politely met het at an
early hoor for that purpose, and went Over the
whole establishment of the new Jail, giving every
necessary elucidation and facility that were de-
sired. Mrs. Fry was particularly pleased with the
economy of this place, and was much gratified a 4
hearing of the punctoal and notemitting attend-
ance of the Reverend Mr. Poi teous—the attention
paid to the comfort of the prisoners, and the
complete system of surveillance, were also mock
admired. The only thing to be regretted was the
entire want of employmeut for the prisoners-1
circumstance which, we hope, may yet be reme-
died. It is highly gratifying to know that Mrs.
Fry constautly exprt ssed her surprise at the small
number of criminal prisoners iii this Country; iii
some jails she. found none, and in all very tew.—
Mrs. Fry,
rat companied as above, arrived in Glas-
gow on Wednesday, and on Thursday she visited
the Jail and Bridewell. In both of these places
she collected fhe female prisoners, and deli-
vered to them eloquent addresses. Daring her
short stay in Glasgow she formed a LadieS' COW-
Mittee for the purpose of affording religions anti
moral iusrruetion to the prisoners. She stated her
opinion on the state of the orisonsio a letter,whiet:
she left in the hands of the Magistrates fur pub-
lication. She was perfectly sari-fied with the jail
in respect of cleanliness ; hut' concurrvii with the
objections long since made to the ela,sitication of
the crimirtaf prisOuers- She on Ft iday srt off to

[Morning Chronicle, Sept. IG

To a country• like t his, of which so great a proportion of
thy• population is Boman Catholic, it may be useful, as well
as curious, to advert to some late proceedings of the Catholics
of Germany, which arc under the consideration of the Diet,
and w114:11 Are the general subject of conversation both in the
Ceithol e and Protestant States of that country.
On the death of the late Prince Primate, who was also
Mshop of Constance, the Baron Von Wessenherg, his general
Vicar in the diocese of Constance, was uninitiated to succeed
him. The Pope refused to confirm the nomination, but the
Grand Duke of Baden, his Sovereign, maintains him in his
sit inition, in d Aimee of the Pope's authority; and in so doing
tic is supported by all the Sovereigns of Germany.
The Grand Duke of Baden contends, that as Sovereign he
is entitled to nominate to the vacant Diocese, and that. such
nomination ought to be held good till it be ascertained by
Competent judges iu. partilmt that an improper person has
l•een chosen. In this case, after the most rigorous inquiry,
the has found the Baron Von Wessenbcrg's qualificati•ns of
the highest hind, and his conduct to have always been most
exemplary, and the refusal on the part of the Pope is there-•
fore an arbitrary act, to which no deference ought to be paid.
The whole case is laid before the public in a Memorial from
the Court of Baden, accompanied by a number of very curious
doe o mrnts.

It appears that the Baron Von Wessenberg, in his capacity
of Grain] Vizor of Constance, sanctioned by the Prince
Primate and the Chapter, has been the author of many im-
portant reforms in the• Church that have long given great
urnhuage to the Court of Rowe.

Among his other Reforms, it appears that he absolved Mlnhs
from the oaths of celibacy, quoting the well-known language
of the Apostle Paul on the subject—that he caused the service
to he translated into, and celebrated in, the mother tongue—
hat he dispE used with the use of the Breviary—that he al-
tered a somber of inconvenient forms with respect to baptism,
&c.—that he appointed stated examinations of the Clergy—
tluat he abolished all but a few festivals, and prohibited all
r'ingin,7 of bells on the days and eves of those abolished—that
he, with the consent of the 661 authority, converted Monas-
teries, &e. into places of education and hospitals—tormed a
new and more commodious division of parishes, and distri-
buted the livings into classes, which were bestowed accord-
ing to merit, and in which all extremes were avoided—that he

discouraged pilgrimages, &c. &c. It appears also that he pro-
te.cted a Professor %rho had distinguished himself by his skill
in liberal learning, after a mandate had been issued against
him by the Poim, on the ground that he had ascertained the

ace,u;ations in the mandate to he unfounded.

The Bishop is supported by all tl►e Clergy of his extensive
Jig cese, and indeed by nearly all the Clergy of Catholic
Gernuu►r. Among the Lay Catholics there is but one opi-

pion concerning him.

[Morniv Herald.]

Notwithstanding the apparent sameness in the Official Bul-
letins, we have every reason to bs:lieve, that the excessive de_
bility to which her Majesty has been reduced is now almost
daily increasing; and, although some palliation of the more
violent symptoms is occasionally produced by the application
of anodynes, and her strength, in some degree, supported
by c,rdial medicines, yet., froin the pain she suffers, on the
slightest Motion, there is, we apprehend, but little doubt, but
her malady (which latterly has manifested hydrops, in all its
varieties) proceeds from an unusual state of the risrera ;
and this, at her Majesty's advanced age, precludes, we
fear entirely, all hope or her restoration. A crisis, there-
fore, and that at no very distant date, is certainly to be ap-
prehended. Nevertheless, by the skill of her physicians, by
incessant care, and by the extraordinary means which have
been resorted to, the event may, possibly, be procrastinated
for some time, should there be no recurrence of spasm. Yet
the s tuation of Kew is materially against this possibility;
and it is to he regretted, that her Majesty took up her re-
sidence there in the first instance, or that she has not been
earlier removed. Damp and marshy situations are, in many
constitutions, snflicient of themselves to produce hydrops;
a :id a warm dry air is almost indispensable for its cure, even
in youthful cases ; but the house in which her Majesty re-

sides is situated on the low grounds, within a hundred yards
of the Thames ; and, during fourteen hours out of the
twenty-four. is enveloped in the autumnal exhalations of the
river : to increase the evil, too, the very chamber in which
she is confined is at the back of the house, and its windows,
with only the intervention of a single row of elms, open di-
rectly upon the water.

" It Eight u'Clock, Tuesday Night.

" to this hour no serious alteration has taken place in
tbe state of her Majesty. Sir Henry Ilalford returned from
Windsor, about four o'clock, and Mr. Brande from London,
nearly at the same time. In the early part of the day, the
Princesses walked in the gardens, attended by Gen. Taylor
and Sir Francis Nlilmam At half-past five o'clock, his Royal
Highness the Prince Regent arrived from Carlton House, and,
after visiting her Majesty, dined with his Royal Sistirs, with
the Physicians, and General Taylor. His Royal Highness's
horses were ordered for half-past eight o'clock, to return to
toWII.

" In the course of the Jay, orderly men of the 19th Lancers
were sent off twice, both to London and Windsor, with dis-
patches announcing the state of her Majesty. In the evening,
Mr. the Messenger, arrived at the Queen's house, from
; with dispatches fur the Prince Regent; and ano-
ther Messenger from the Earl of Liverpool at Coombe
