THE LAST NIGHT.
HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

To a casual observer of the progress of social institu-
tions, nothing would be so little likely to present itself
in the shape of one of the great disturbing farces which
still vex their tranquillity—as religious discords. The
"odium theologicum," for so many centuries the scourge.'
of the old world—the fomenter of civil and of foreign

" The number of the kilted and wounded is not at present
known ; that of the persons arrested is upwards of 150. The
Royal Court of .tlagdeburg has instituted an inquiry into the
affair, and will judge it when the inquiry has terminated."
The Post And Gazette of Frankfurt states, from
Leipsic, the 13th, that the number of persons killed is
nine, and the voun4ed from thirty to forty, and add,,
that the municipal authorities, in order to prevent new
excitement, had refused to allow the dead to be buried
publicly. A Letpsic letter of the 14th, in the Universal
German Gazette, has the following:—
• The number of dead up to this time is fourteen. Luther's
hymn, sung by the crowd, produced a deep sensation in the
whole eity. In addition to the infantry, we have new several
battalions of cavalry. There is the best feeling here towards
the King, but this is not the case as regards other members
of the Royal Family. A meeting has taken place of 700
students and 2,000 citizens, in which it was declared that the
murder of the citizens should be avenged, but only by legal
means. It was resqlved to send a deputation to the King, with
an address of loyalty and devotedness. The following is the
address of the Municipal Council to his Majesty Sire, we,
in common with our fellow-citizens, friends of law and order,
deeply regret the sad events which have occurred here. We
declare respectfully, from a sense of duty towards your Ma-
jesty, our fellow-citizens, and ourselves, that we are the more
grieved the Communal Guard was not employed to re-establish
order, as it would have prevented the calamity which has fallen
upon us. We supplicate your Majesty to order a rigid inquiry
as to the conduct of all who took part in these events, on what-
ever side they may be. In this period of agitation our hope is
in the wisdom and justice of your Majesty, and in your un-
failing solicitude fur the welfare of the country. 'four Ma-
jesty will deign to receive the expression of the devotedness of
our city and of our unshaken fidelity.' "
The University has adopted measures to induce the
students to abstain from taking part in any turbulent
demonstration ; and the Municipal Council has ordered
that all public places shall be closed at nine o'clock, and
has issued a proclamation inviting masters of houses to
keep their families within doors after eight o'clock The-
rural guard are charged with the maintenance of order
in the town. '

its intensity. It no longer bursts into fierce and de-
vourng action, rearing on high, to the terrified gaze of
all mankind, its consuming flames; but the molten lava
does not the less seethe and boil beneath the surface
which overlays it. And at this very moment the
fatal element seems to be in a state of agitation,
that is manifested by occasional eruptions, more or less
partial and transitory, in kingdoms of Europe the motet
'remote from one another. We earnestly invite the
reader's attention to this remarkable modern phe-
nomenon. It is peculiar to this epoch of the nineteenth
century. The " disturbing force" of which we speak
communicates its impulses from some such mysterious
connexion as Only MICHELET or QUISET can explain,
in these, our days, from St. Petersburgh to London,
from Dublin to Leipsic, from Avignon to Treves, from
Rome to New York, at almost one and the same time.
A slight type of its deforming and perverting powers
has been supplied for the consideration of this country
in the obstinate tenacity of Puseyite innovators, in the
rancorous hatred with which seceders from the fold
of our Protestant Church have turned round upon the
institutions which had for years nurtured and educated
them; and in the insidious arts and inflexible perse-
verance with which the emissaries of Rome have, for
some time past, addressed themselves to the work of
detaching, not laymen only, but ordained priests of the
establishment from our communion. But no man who
does not wilfully shut his eyes to the relations of cause
and effect, to the evidences of unity of purpose and
combination of means, can be blind to the steady and
measured recurrence of those manifestations of the re-
viving pretensions of the Papal Church which, in the brief
course of three or four years, have convulsed the most
modern as well as the oldest of States, Monarchies, and
Rupublics, the best governed and the worst. Scarcely had
the presumptuous contumacy of a refractory Archbishop
been resented (and they were ultimately repressed) by
the King of PRUSSIA, before all France was agitated from
her capital to her frontiers, by the resuscitation of the
Sesuits,,and their demand to have the superintendence of
the education of the youth of that country. But, as if
to prove that the "odium theologicum" is not the exclu-
sive or peculiar vice of any one Church, but the un-
christian feeling of all churches, rather, the Emperor of
RUSSIA has still more recently fulminated his autocratic
" ukases" for religious conformity, by visiting his Ro-
rnsn Catholic subjects with all the persecutiens of the
olden time—the proud and palmy days of spiritual
domination—in order. to compel them to come into the
pale of the Greek Church. His tender solicitude for
the " amity of faith," is so excessive, that he
applies the persuasionS of external force to the Ro•
u3anists with as little compunction and modera-
tion as to the Jews whose felicity it is to live
under his beneficent sway. The most enlightened and
populous of the cities of another hemisphere, the capi-
tal of one of the States comprising that Federal Union
which we are atcustomed to speak of as the model of
republics, only the other day witnessed the shedding of
the blood of some of its best citizens, in a fierce affray
hetween contending religious factions, that seem to re
vive the memory of those which, in the age of JUVENAL.
constantly afflicted Alexandria between Pagan sectaries;
and some few centuries afterwards, between the still
more ferocious Christian (so called) dogmatists, who
supperted or opposed the intolerant ATHANASIUS. It is
in 1844 and 1845 that we have a Roman Archbishop
exhibiting, as they were exhibited in the middle ages,
the very vestments of our SAVIOUR (?), and working
miracles at Treves—in the shape of profitable collec-
tions for his treasury—as marvellous, as credible, as
disinterested as any that were ever contrived at the
shrine of our Lady of Loretto. In Switzerland—such
is the insanity produced by this religious hatred—the
peaceful Cantons have been moved to a suicidal civil war,
the embers of which are not yet extinguished, chiefly for
the object, on the part of one of the States, of retaining
that social subjugation which is always synoni-
mous with the permitted presence of the Jesuits ;
whom another State, in a spirit of intolerance,
accurately following that to which it was opposed,
had sought to expel by means equally violent and ille-
gal. But it is in Germany that the preaching of the
Abbe JOHANNES RONGE, the great exposer of the sacred
relics at Treves, has aroused the fiercest storm of this
theological persecution. Romanism, Jesuitry, infallibi-
lity, have arrayed themselves in all the panoply of the
orthodox one and indivisible Church against the daring
challenger of genuine old clothes. From such a cause—
from beginnings so humble, almost so ridiculous, has just
arisen the unwonted incident of a sanguinary popular
commotion in that which may be called the commercial
capital of Saxony—the peaceful and enlightened Saxony
—whose excellent Monarch was so lately the honoured
guest of our own Sovereign. German blood has flowed
in an unseemly contest between the people, irritated
against his Majesty's brother, the Grand Duke, a zealous
favourer of Romish infallibility, and the humble, but
energetic, and simple-minded RONGE, the second LUTHER
of his country.
For the particulars of this unhappy collision we must
refer our readers to the account we publish in another
column of the disturbances at Leipsic. But we may be
allowed to express our deep regret at the event. It
mars, and neutralizes, as it were, that great experiment
which, since the peace of 1814, has been so successfully
conducted in many European kingdoms, of retaining vast
populations, of different religious professions, in civil an
social amity one with another, and in an unanimous and
willing fealty to the common laws and institutions of th,
country to which they all belong. For our own parts, feel-
ing as laymen who desire to render to the Church, and
more especially to religion generally, all their just
rights, protection and homier, but who equally desire to
see all ecclesiastical establishments and pt.:des:ions sub-
servient, not superior, to the dominant power of the
State ; we cannot too forcibly express our sorrow at
this untoward interruption of that great work of conso-
lidation which'we have ever looked upon Hi one of the
noblsst attempts of civil polity in our times We would
fain hope that the sovereigns and princes in whose terri-
tories this mischievous spirit prompts and matures such
ietbreaks, will vigilantly apply themselves to the consi
s rstion of the best means of allaying—if not extinguish-
ing it. Where religious toleration and political justice
have already discharged their respective duties to all
communities in a State, there, we do think, the disturbers
of the public repose, who will not brook the free
and full discussion of spiritual abuses on moral prin-
ciples, but turn upon their challengers with the
vindictive spirit of temporal persecutors, ought to
be repressed by signal punishment. They compromise
the cause of Christianity. They put in jeopardy the
peace of Christendom. The secret movers of these per-
secutions are, we firmly believe, the Jesuits ; and we arc
almost tempted to concur in the following recent appeal
of RoNGE for the absolute suppression of these too viva-
cious emissaries of all mischief :

The Swiss journals state that the Chamber of Com-
merce at Geneva his received the postal treaty concluded
between the Confederation and France relating to the cor-
respondence of Switzerland with France, Algeria, Eng-
land, and other countries whose letters pass through
France. In virtue of this treaty, the inhabitants of Ge-
neva will have to pay for letters to the arrondissement
of Gex only 10 centimes, the Geneva postage included ;
for those of the departments of the Ain and Jura 20c.,
instead of 40e. ; that of Lyons remains 40c. ; but that of
Paris, Bayonne, Brest, the rest of France, and Algeria,
is to be no more than 40c. ; that to England is to be
80c. Letters between Paris and Geneva may be franked
at 40c. ; the present postage is If. The treaty pro
vides that in case of the postage within France being
reduced to 20e., the Geneva letters shall be reduced to
30c., including the Geneva charge.

Madrid papers of the 11th and 12th have. been re-

ceiv ed.

They all comment on the order for the restitution of
the Church property to the secular clergy, which is re-
garded by all parties as a retrograde step towards
Rome and absolutism, and applauded or lamented

accordingly.
The Commanda❑t-General of Malaga,
,CAMINERO,
has been dismissed. FRANCISCO FITLOOSIO has been
named to replace him.

According to the Espebpdor, many officers in garrison
in Madrid, had been dismissed from their corps and
ordered to take up their residence in various towns,
thirty or forty leagues off, without any reason being
assigned for such orders.
A Madrid letter of the 11th informs us that the taxes
are become more productive, and are more readily paid,
and that the Minister has demanded an advance of 14
millions of reals from the bank of St. Ferdinand, with
the certainty of its being covered by the receipts of
October.

The Three per Cents. closed at 31* cash, 31i- at 60
days-13,500,000 reals done ; the Five per Cents., 22
cash-3,000,000 reals done.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday.
A letter from Toulon appears in the Cow ier Francais,
from which it appears that en the 11th and 12th inst.
several motel-4es similar to those found at Marseilles
were discovered in various parts of the arsenal. One of
them was placed under a frigate which is en the stocks.
La Reforme does not hesitate to ascribe the origin of the
Toulon fire, and of that which recently occurred at Algiers,
to theinstigation of perfide Albion. Does it not strike these
gentlemen that the late continuous rains which have de-
stroyed the harvests in Poitou are also to be attributed
to the instigation of perfide Albion ?

The Commerce says that the Duke DE MONTPENSIT
has given up the intention of visiting Constantinople.
It appears, says the Commerce—
" That the Prince has among his suite several officers, na-
tives of Algeria, whom he intended to present to the Sultan.
Chekib, on being informed of this fact, told M. Borqueney that
such a proceeding would give displeasure to the Ottoman Go-
vernment, because if the Sultan was to receive those spahis as
French officers, it would be implicitly recognising the right of
France to the possession of Algeria. Baron Bourqueney, on
receiving that intimation, immediately dispatched a messenger
to the Prince, requesting him to postpone his visit to the capital
of Turkey." " The cordial understanding between the Ambas-
sadors of Great Britain and France," adds the Commerce,
" so seriously compromised by the events of last year, is be-
ginning to be re-established. This change is viewed with
satisfaction by the reasonable men of both nations, and particu-
larly the merchants. Everybody feels that when those twe
representatives are at variance they are unable to watch ever
the interests of their respective countrymen, and lose all the
influence they had acquired in the country. Russia alone
benefits by their disunion."

The National has a long article on the subject of the
cruelties practised, by Marshal BUGEAUD towards the
troops in Algiers. It is generally believed that he is
recalled, but many persons who ought to be well in-;
formed on the subject doubt the truth of the report.

tributed, we are informed to the firmness of the money

ARRIVAL of the GictEAT WESTERN.

The Great Western has arrived at Liverpool, bring-
ing New York papers to the 31st of July, but as we
have received papers of the same date per the Britannia,
which arrived at Liverpool on Friday, of course the
news brought by the Great Western has been antici-
pated.

The following letter from Halberstadt furnishes fur-
ther particulars relating to the preaching of Abb4
Ronge

DREADFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
(nom A CORRESPONDENT.)
A frightful accident occurred on the Manchester and
L' els line on Tuesday night.
The Express train, which leaves Leeds at six, o'clock,
P.N., started with a powerful engine and two first-class
carriages only. It proceeded at a very rapid rate, and
about seven miles from Leeds it attained a very high
speed. A witness of it, who lives close to the line, told
me he never saw a train going so fast ; be thought it
fifty miles an hour.

" Halberstadt, Aug. 10.

"On Wednesday afternoon Abbe Rouge, who has nume-
rous partisans in this place, delivered his first .sermon at
Halberstadt, in the open air, and in the yard'of the cathedral,
before several thousand persons of every age and sex.
"As soon as he had pronounced the last words of his sermon,
which were these,—' Yes, brethren, Rome ought to fall, and
she will fall!' a rustling noise was heard among the por-
tion of the audience nearest the pulpit, when a salesman,
well known for the fervour of his religious belief,
rushed forward after Abbe Rouge, who bad just left the
pulpit, and endeavoured to throw a stone at him. The per-
sons who were near this fanatic held him back and prevented
him realising his culpable intention ; but at the same instant
a young man ,truil, with a heavy stick, a violent blow upon
the bank of Abbe Rouge, who immediately fell on the ground.
Ttie Abbe got up and ran away, but soon afterwArds was
further ill. treated by several other men; and it was only with
great difficulty. and through the protection afforded him
by a great number of his friends, that be succeeded in gaining
the hotel he. lodged at.

The engine sprang from the rails, ran along the
ground thirty yards, and then down an embankment of
about forty feet. The engine was very much damned,
the firs" earring.• sand the next carriage much
broken. All the pasp-ngers were horridly cut and shook.
A lim:y and gentleman, and daughter, were taken
to the infirmary, all horridly mangled. The stoker was
much hurt.
I trust that this accident will call forth- your able pen,

" Some moments after a crowd of his partisans walked
through the streets of the town, and threw stones at the windows
of the houses they thought to be inhabited by Roman
Catholics. The police put all their agents on f.ot to appease
the tumult, but their efforts were useless ; the rioters breathed
only rage and vengeance. The military were called out, seine
detachments of infantry and cavalry appeared, and after having
ordered the rebels to retire, which was not obeyed, the troops

THE SUN, LONDON, TH T.IRSD AIL MORNING, AUGUST 21, 1845.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool were 3,000 to 4,000 bales,
including 400 for export, and 300 on speculation. There was
no change in prices.—For Shares the market was dull and
heavy.
The letters and papers by the Great Western were delivered
this morning, and we perceive that Brother Jonathan " cal-
culates" on supplying us to some extent with his corn.
The trade of the United States with Great Britain depends
almost solely upon two circumstances : the activity of our
manufacturing industry, and the state of the weather. With
an active demand for our fabrics, we become more liberal
customers for cotton and other important staples--with a
deficient harvest we take more grain. Under any circum-
stances, therefore, the Americans should exhibit the most de-
cided disposition to make their tariff favourable to those to
whom they owe so much.
The West India private accounts bear out the favourable
tenor of the advices given in another part of The Sun. The
weather was good, the crops promised well, the labourers, if
not working hard, were going on as steadily at least as
hitherto, and there were important public improvements
progressing in most of the colonies. The island of Barbadues
had at least been blessed with abundant showers.

The Funds have been fiat again to-day, not having re-
covered the decline of yesterday afternoon. Consols realise
983 k to 99 for present transfer, and are 99 for time. Exche-
quer-bills have been a little steadier at 50s. premium. The
New Three-and. a-Quarter per Cents. are marked 102% %,
and Three-per-Cents. 99%
The foreign investments are more neglected than ever.
Spanish Three-per Cents realise 3814 %. Peruvian Bonds
are at 39. Venezuela Stock is worth 44%. Dutch Four-per-
Cents: are 100%.
The Railway Shares are more dealt in to-day, and appear
to be brought to sale rather in excess of the requirements of
purchasers. There are a few exceptions, however, as our
list will show. The flatness of some of the provincial markets
is against the maintenance of prices here.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—The last performances
of the expiring opera, like the last song of the swan, are de-
cidedly the best—at least this year. Not only the artists strive
to their utmost to leave an impression, but we find their ener-
gies this year much less impaired by the fatigues of the season.
The Puritani went off on Tuesday with the utmost brilliancy;
which is no doubt as much due to the artists as to the opera.
Grisi, having shaken off her indisposition, was as admirable as
ever in Elvira, infusing into the part even youthfulness. As
for the dancers, they were so bent upon triumph, and so
piqued by emulation, that they outshone themselves. Lucile
Grahn was so aerial that one, the more euphuistie of her many
admirers, observed that it appeared as if she would fly off and
disappear, if there were not a roof to the theatre; and, as to
Cerito, the applause of the audience beat time to the measure
of her steps. On Thursday all these marvels will vanish on
Friday the Italian artists leave London for their provincial en-
gagements.
IMPORTATION or SUGAR, &c.--Tuesday a r eturn,
moved for by Mr. Barkly, was issued, givingan account of the
imports into the United Kingdom of sugar, molasses, rum,
coffee, and cocoa, from the West Indies and British Guiana,
distinguishing each colony, for the year 1844. From the 17
colonies the importation of sugar in the year was 2,453,050
cwt. •, of molasses, 579,590 cwt. ; of rum, 2,566,625 gallons ;
of coffee, 9,290,2781 b; and of cocoa, 3,128,4001 b.
WOOLWICH, AUG. 19 —Lord Claude Hamilton and
' Viscount Canning, with an Eastern Pasha and a younger
member of a distinguished Eastern family, specially hired the
Sylph steam-vessel to-day, to convey them to Woolwich, and
the party landed at Charlton-pier, and proceeded in a car-
riage to the residence of Lieutenant-General Lord Bloomfield,
G. C. B. and G. C. H., in the Royal Arsenal, where they
arrived about twelve o'clock. His Lordship, accompanied by
Lieutenant-Colonel Blacoley, Royal Horse Artill ry ; Lieut..
Colonel Brown, Ltearenant-Coionel Colquhoun, Royal Artil-
lery, conducted the noble and distiegnised visitors over that
extensive depot of naval and military stores ; and the Pasha
seemed greatly interested and surprised to witness the vast
resources of this country. It was intended that the noble and
distinguished visitors should witness the exercises of the Royal
Horse Artillery ana field batteries on the common, and rocket
practice in the marshes, and the officers and men remained in
review order from half.past eleven o'clock until a late hour;
but the unfavourable state of the weather prevented their exer-
cises on the common.
