the person of his successor." Bat suppose the voice of
PETER should pronounce in favour of the measure, and
declare it not only harmless as regards the Catholic
faith, but highly calculated to promote the good of both
Catholics and Protestants—a result very probable—
what are these Heads of the Church to do ? Are
they to obey the descendant of PETER, and con-
trary to their deliberate conviction, expressed
in language about which there can be no mistake, sup-
port the gigantic scheme of godless education," alike
dangerous to faith and morals ? There is no alterna-
tiro. They must obey the voice that issues from the
Vatican, and sacrifice the dictates of their own con-
science at the order of an erring and sinful creature like
themselves. Aware of the absurdity involved in the
resolution, they at last tried to mend the matter by
another, headed "Dissentient," in which they sim-
ply submit to the Holy See, for its consi-
deration, the Bill fur Academical Education
in Ireland, as they consider the resolution in that shape
a more accurate statement and more respectful to the
Holy See. But that does not in any degree do
away with the previous resolution, nor hold out the
slightest chance by which they can escape from the
dilemma in case of the Pore sanctioning the BilL They
cannot vote black white, they cannot destroy their
convictions, and remove the responsibility incurred
by the record of their opinions, unless at the same
time they admit that they are mere machines,
that they have no will of their own, that they
are the veriest slaves in existence, and surrender
not only the liberty of their bodies, but the liberty of
their souls, at the command of PETBa's representative,
But our readers will probably remember that some of
these very prelates have set the authority of the POPE
already at defiance, and declared that they would not in
any way obey his wise and humane injunctions against
the part which some of them had taken in agitating a
repeal of the union. If we recollect dorrectly, Mr.
O'ComsELL, with all his reverence for the POPE, and
also Father WHALE, and some others, kicked most vio-
lently against the injunction, and vowed not to sub-
mit to it. Possibly they may pursue the same
course in this instance ; for, after all, we are inclined to
think that the meeting was one of a factious and secta-
rian character, that it was a speculation, a sort
of lottery scheme, and if it turned up a prize they
reckoned on making the voice of PETER tell
upon the submissive Catholics under their charge.
At the same meeting they adopted another resolution—
one equally uncalled for at the time—avowing their un-
changed and unchangeable determination to oppose a
State provision for the Catholic clergy. Why not
consult the POPE about that also ? Because
his HOLINESS would tell them that the Church
was entitled to maintenance from the State, and that
it was more consonant with Scripture to take money
from the rich than levy it on a starving population.

Sincerely do we congratulate the promoters of the
Northern Lunatic Asylum on the success which has
hitherto attended their endeavours to provide a refuge
for these unfortunate persons who are suffering under
the most awful dispensation which a mysterious PROVI-
DENCE can inflict on a human being. Hitherto the
pauper lunatic has been in Scotland a being little cared
for. He has been in general suffered to wander about
the country, the terror of the little children, the butt
of the elder ones, alternately tortured and torturing,
until the commission of some act of violence has brought
him under the cognizance of the law, and the " daft
JAMIE" of the village bas become " the criminal lunatic"
of the gaol. But even when this takes place, although
society is preserved from outrage by his confinement, no
attempt has been made to restore or to awaken the mind of
the involutrary criminal, and to substitute for the coarse
and inhuman physical restraint of shackles an I fetters
the infinitely more efficient moral restraint of right reason.
It has long been a matter of astonishment that moral,
enlightened, religious Scotland, should have been so
long without an institution devoted to the alleviation,
under all circumstances, to the permanent cure,
under many, of the malady from which these
unfortunate beings are suffering ; and some
few months since a number of influential gentle-
man in the county of Inverness conceived the idea of
founding a Northern Lunatic Asylum, to which all the
parishes of the north of Scotland might send their lunatic
poor, and which being under public control and
superintendence, would, by such publicity, ensure
that everything which humanity, guided by science, can
do for those afflicted with mental disease should be done
for them. When the matter was first mooted we felt it
our duty to direct public attention to the subject; and
we cannot but feel highly gratified at the flattering man-
ner in which the committee, in their report, have been
pleased to speak of our exertions. That report was
presented to the subscribers at a meeting held at
Inverness, on Friday last, a full account of the proceed-
ings of which appeared in our paper of yesterday.
The report is a very interesting document in many re-
spects. In a financial point of view it is highly satis-
factory. The funds which, in December, 1844, amounted
only to 1,5001., have now reached to 4,700/.; and as this
sum is almost entirely the result of private subscription,
there is every prospect of its being greatly in•
creased. As yet only one parish, that of Dornoch,
in Sutherlandshire, and one public body, the Caledonian
Bank of Inverness, have subscribed, but we think
that large subscriptions may be calculated on
from various other parishes. The new poor-
law in Scotland compels different parishes
to provide accommodation for their lunatic poor,
and we may therefore expect, that for the sake of eco-
nomy, if from no higher motive, the parishes in the north
of Scotland will become shareholders in the Asylum. The
committee are going to work with the energy and per-
severance which is characteristic of Scotsmen. They
have procured the Royal patronage to the undertaking,
they have successfully canvassed the south of Scotland,
and of England for assistance: they expect to receive
much support from their countrymen in India, and as
several of the leading proprietors in the north of Scot-
land have come voluntarily forward as its supporters,
there is every reason to imagine that their canvass in
those counties will be most successful. They are amply
justified, therefore, in taking measures for the erection
of the Asylum without delay, and we call upon all
Scotsmen in whatever part of the world they may
be located to lend a hand to the work.

the purpose of occupying the islands in the neighbour-
hood of Monte Video. The Government of Buenos Ayres
continued to publish decrees forbidding all intercourse
and communication with the allied squadrons. None of
the inhabitants of Buenos Ayres could obtain passports
to leave the city, except on giving security to avoid inter-
course with Monte Video."

the Commission appointed to examine the lists of
the Companies which had subscribed for the Paris and
Strasburg and the Tours and Nantes lines of railway,
had closed their labours, and have unanimously come
to the following decisions :—The united Company, re-
presented by MACKENZIE and the post-masters, have
b en admitted to bid for the Tours and Nantes
Line. For the Strasburg Line, the Company
represented by the Duke DE GALLIERA,
General CUBIERES, Messrs. BLACQUI, BELARI, and
PELLAPRA is the only one admitted, as the company of
Count ANTHOUARD having been twice called upon by
the Commission to furnish explanations in regard to the
last which it had deposited, sent word to the Minister
of Public Works, that in the present state of circum-
stances it would take no further steps in the matter. It
was consequently excluded. Most of the journals con-
tain articles on the late unwelcome intelligence from
Algiers, and on the statement in the Journal (les Debuts
describing the spread of the insurrection, and especially
the rising in the province of Constantine. The Opposition
journals view the latter outbreak in a very serious light,
as the smallest force is sufficient among so many hostile
tribes to excite a dangerous rebellion. In that instance
the leader appears to have had only five hundred men
under him, yet he had executed a successful razzia on
two tribes subject to France. But, even nearer the
seat of Government affairs are not a whit better. The
Government paper of Sunday recurs to the subject,
and Cius points out the critical situation of the dis-
trict, of which the new town of Orleansville is the
capital. "Some accounts," it says, "are to be added
to those we gave yesterday. The sub-division of Orleans-
ville, which has almost the extent of a province, and is
eomposed of two great mountainous regions separated
by the lung valley of the Chelif, is more than ever a
prey to Bou Maza's incursions. That bold partisan, at
the head of three hundred determined cavalry, who fol-
low him wherever he pleases, alternately moves to either
bank of the Chelif, driving before him the goums of the
-tribes until overtaken by a French column, when ho
hastens to some other unprotected point, and so on. He
quite recently. fire the house and village of the Khalifs-
liartbe ravaged the country under the very walls of
Mostaganem, besieged Tenez, threatened Miliauah, and
kindled an insurrection in the environs of that town. It
is now announced that Bou Maze. is blockading Orleana-
ville, whilst Colonel SAINT ARNAUD is in the direction
of the Flittas with General BOURJOLLY ; and the
Marshal• Governor is operating in the Ouarenseris
mountains, on the side of the Beni-Ouragbrs. The
ascendancy Bou MAzA has acquired, and the terror
he spreads afar, appear to have drawn most serious
attention to that personage's enterprises ; for it is this
day affirmed that Lieutenant• General BEDEAU has set
out for Medeah with a strong column, in order tran-
siently to assume the supericr direction of operations on

KONIGSBURG Nov. 13.—The Colonization Company
assembled to-day, as it usually does on Thursday, to
deliberate on the settlement on the Mosquito shore. The
President was invited by a police inspector, who produced
an order of the police to delay the meeting till the statis-
tics which was drawn up some time ago should be sanc-
tioned by the superior authorities, on which the company
quietly separated. _

Hei4ovirt, Nov. 18.—The King has been indisposed,
and kept his bed for four days, but is now quite reco-
vered, and has been out in his carriage. The tender
affection of his Majesty for his little grandson is a gene-
ral subject of conversation, and numerous anecdotes are
related of it. Thus his Majesty lately gave him a set of
six beautiful cream-coloured horses, from the royal
mews, with which the infant Prince, only seven weeks
old, is driven out every day.
COLOGNE, NOT. 17.—The Cologne Gazette publishes
the very long address dated the 15th of July, this year,
which a number of Berlin manufacturers submitted to
the King, to obtain an extension of the system of pro-
tective duties. The following is the complete answer to
this address, and is likewise published in the Cologne
Gazt Me :

"By his Majesty's order I have to inform you, in answer
to the address of the 18th of last month, respecting an
extension of the system of protective duties, that indeed
—as you might have been convinced—the interest
of the national industry will find from his Majesty's Go-
vernment every attention consistent,:with the general
good, but that to attain this object there is no need of
such collective representation, which trangresses the
prescribed regulations of petitions, and are therefore
highly displeasing to his Majesty.

DEATH OF DR.NlcnoLL.—ThisLearned Gentleman,
well known in the Ecclesiastical Courts, expired at his
house, at tipper Clapton, on Monday morning, from a violept
attack of small pox. The learned civilian was in the prime
of lire, and has left a widow and large family.
The Duke of Devonshire remains in town in at-

tendance upon his noble relative Earl Granville, who, we
regret to learn, is still in a very weak state of health. It is
stated that the Noble Earl will shortly proceed to Torquay,
for the benefit of the sea air.

TME CHANCELLOR OF TIP DUCEY OF LANCASTER,

—The absence of Lord Granville Somerset from all the re-
cent Cabinet Councils has occasioned a good deal of un.
founded speculation. We are informed that the Noble Lord
was on his way from the Continent to England, on purpose
to attend them, when he was arrested at Ciialons-sur-Saone
by a violent fit of the gout, which rendered it impossible for
him to travel, it having, in fact, confined him to bed. So
great, however, was the impatience of his Lordship to takee-
part in the deliberations of his colleagues, that he set out be-
fore his convalescence was established, and contrary to the re-
commendations of his medical attendants.

TILE LATE Qui TAM ACTIONS.—The action com-
menced by Charles H. Russell against Mr. H. Hill to re•
cover 40,0001. and 20.000/. won on the turf, has been stopped
on the payment of costs incurred, and were taxed at
10/. 14s. 10d. The above-named qui tam informer has since
been captured and lodged in Whitecross-street gaol, for the
costs of an action brought by him against Lord G Bentinck,
and tried at Guildford Assizes.

OPERATIVE TAILORS.— A document, drawn up
with apparently great care by the Operative Tailors' Asso-
ciation, shows that in Liverpool 1,187 men, 333 women, and
41 boys are employed in their own houses, which are for the
most part in a dirty and unhealthy state; while only 903
men and 139 boys are employed in workshops on their
masters' premises. Of the dwellings used as workshops 522
are bedrooms and 127 cellars ; while in 222 courts parties are
working at home for shops.--Liverpool paper.
NEW PAPER CURRBNCY.—On dit that in Leeds it
is not uncommon for a speculator to dine at an inn, and pay
the bill with scrip, the waiter handing him the change Just
as readily as if the paper was a bank note. (So says the
Liverpool Standard ; but our Contemporary is quizzing us ;
for he knows that scrip is down and "wittles is up," and that
dinners are not current on such term., to say nothing of the
change.)—Leeds Intelligencer.
The birthplace of Sir Walter Scott, in College
Wynd, Edinburgh, is now a public-house.
FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—OXFORD, MONDAY.
—This morning a fatal accident occurred on the Great Western
Railway, at the Abingdon-road station, under the following
circumstances :—A young woman, named Fanny Gosling, re-
siding in this city, started by the mail-train, at half-past ten
o'clock, to pay a visit to her mother at Clifton, which is a
short distance from the Abingdon-road station. On arriving
at the latter place, instead of proceeding at once to Clifton,
she attempted to cross the line, for the purpose, it is sup-
posed, of seeing some of her old acquaintances, who resided
at the tavern on the other side of the road. While she was
standing on the platf.rni the mail-train, which had brought
her from Oxford, passed by her, and no doubt thinking
that the line was quite clear, she stepped on it, but the mo-
ment that she had put her hand on the second line of rail,
the fast down-train, which she could not have seen coming,
came in contact with her, when she was knocked down by it,
and killed instantaneously. Her feet were severed from her
ankles, and her body otherwise much mutilated. Several
persons witnessed the accident, and endeavoured by calling
out to make her aware of the great danger she was in, but to
no purpose; the poor woman seemed quite paralyzed. The
police-officer on duty, at the risk of his life, made an attempt
to lay hold of her, but before he could do this, the train
had knocked her down. The unfortunate occurrence was
purely accidental, and not the slightest blame attaches to the
engineer, or any one else.
We are gratified to learn that the accounts re-
ceived from Upton House on Monday, as to the state of the
Viscountess Villiers's health are of a more satisfactory cha-
racter. Her Ladyship is stated to be much better, and, the
crisis of the disease having passed, her medical attendants
corsider that their noble patient is going on favourably.
Neither the Great Britain nor the Great Western
will cross the Atlantic this season again, and the Halifax
boats will run only puce a month during the winter.—Liver-
pool Journal. •
