STIVENS'S UNIVERSAL SAUCE ALTHOUGH politically and otherwise uneventful,
TNCREASES the APPETITE and IMPROVES the past week has afforded us matter for lively gra-
DIGEsTION, sod only requires one trial with STEAKS,

CHOPS, ROAST AIFATs, GRAVIES, FISH, GAME, and gloom which hung over the prospects of our agri-
oliPS, to satisfy the Epicure. cultural community. T

any
the hulk of our cereal crops, there is every reason
to believe, will be safely gitliered, and our people
secured the advantages which attend cheapness of
food arising from the abundance of the produce of
our own soil. How essentially different such cheap-
is from that which is the result of extended
importations, will be sufficiently seen from the effect
which has been produced by the mere fear of dis-
aster to the native crop. The panic recently felt
throughout every branch of industry and commerce
'king acknowledgment of the value of a
native agriculture.
Thus writes from Palermo the " noble Catholic
earl of SHREWSBURY" to the Very Rev. Dr. Fo-
GARTY, of Lismore :—" We are much pleased with
the people here. It is really a treat to live in a Ca-
tholic country !" Ireland possesses a tolerably fair
claim to be called a "Catholic" country; yet most
parties, who have watched the state of society in
that country during the past two months, will pro-
bably consider it anything but "a treat" to live
there,—especially after learning the result of the
Six-mile-Bridge inquest. For 14 weary days a magis-
trate and eight soldiers of Her Majesty's 31st Regi-
ment of Foot have been arraigned before an Irish
coroner and jury for shooting a man, in defence of
their own lives, which were assailed by a savage
mob, led onby the piouspriesthood of that "Catholic"
country; and, to the amazement of the world, the
jury arrived at the conclusion that both the magis-
trate and soldiers are guilty of murder. Nowhere,
save in Ireland, could the folly have been committed
of returning such a verdict. Had the magistrate,
who is thus treated, given the order to fire, the
soldiery who had obeyed it would have been only
acting in discharge of their duty, and must be re-
garded as entirely innocent. On the other hand, if
the magistrate gave no such order, there is nothing
to connect him with the act of the soldiers. Of
course when the case comes before a court of law,
this decision of the "crowner's quest" will be re-
In the meantime it serves to confirm the
oninion, which is now rapidly gaining ground, that
free institutions, such as prevail in Protestant lands,
are utterly unsuited to those "Catholic" cou n tries, in
which the Earl of SHREWSBURY considers it such

A reference to the Map will show, that in th
11 Wales, for 110 miles from North to South
st to West, there is not one single Railway

le of Ce

; and yet this
seat of a large
inerals, and is
3f
_agricultural

listrict contains many
flannel and Woollen M
::apable of supplying a consider
3roduce to the neighbouring English manufacturing districts_
It is clear that a Railway through such a country, which can
be constructed at a total cost not exceeding .elO,OOO per mile,
affords the prospect of a higher dividend than that of the old
ines, many of which have coat from £40,000 to .e 60,000 per
aiile.

This Railway, from Shrewsbury to Aberystwith, will connect
Central Wales with the Manufacturing Counties of England,
and will afford a short route from them, and from London, to
the southern parts of Ireland.
The Line, about 70 miles in lengt
bury, and will immediately
miles long a"

will commence at Shrews-
pass over a Coal-field about ten
nearly one mile wide, which has been hitherto
-ked, but on which there are already large
Leid works established. It will then proceed, through the
Valley of the Severn, to the Flannel and Cloth Manufacturing
towns of Weishpool, Newtown, and Llanidloes, in all of which

y slightly wor

there are numerous factories (Newtown alone containing nearly
sixty, and being also the great market for Welsh-bred Cattle
and Horses), and thence up the Wallies of Carno and Dovey to
Machyzilleth, which also is the seat of a large Cloth Manufac-
ture. On leaving that town it will pass the Port of Aberdovey,
which, though unimproved, is capable of receiving vessels of
500 tons burthen, and will terminate at Aberyatwith, where
there is already a commodious harbour, and which requires
simply the facilities of access (to be provided by this Railway)
in order to become one of the most attractive watering places
on the western coast.

The Railway will carry cheap Coal to the four above-men.
tioned Manufacturing Towns(where the Mills are now depen-
dent on a most uncertain water-power, and will bring back
their fabrics to the English markets.
It will also supply cheap Coal to the numerous and extensive
Lead Mines, will thereby cause the working of many which are
now stopped for want of cheap motive power, and will bring
back their ores to be smelted at the coal pits.
The carriage of Lime for agricultural purposes will also form
an:important item of traffic.

The sources of local traffic are therefore numerous and im
, and the prospects of general traffic are equally encon

portant

The annual consumption, in the Midland Counties of Eng-
land, of provisions from the South of Ireland, exceeds 150,000
tons ; and when this short route by Wexford and Aberystwith
is opened, it is clear that a great part of that traffic will followit.
A very large number of pleasure passengers from Birming-
ham, Wolverhampton, and the Midland Towns, will travel to
the sea coast by this Line. At present the inhabitants of these
Midland Districts have consider able difficulty in reaching any
watering place; but when Aberystwith, with Dolgelly and Bar-
mouth in its neighbourhood, is brought within an easy four-
hours journey of Birmingham, it will become to all central
England what Brighton is to London ; and a very large plea-
sure traffic will thus flow to it.
Most of the landowners along the Line have undertaken to
dispose of their land on moderate terms, and an offer has been
made by contractors of great eminence to construct the whole
Line at a cost not exceeding an average of £7,000 per mile for
the works; so tnat the total cost will certainly not be more
than £lO,OOO per mile, which is about one-fifth of the average
cost per mile of many of the old Lines.
It is clear that a Line, made at this low cost, from Shrews-
bury to Aberystwith, and proceeding from the great English

Manufacturing Towns, thrOugh the centre of the Manufactdring
Districts of Wales, to two Harbours opposite the South of Ire-
land, must proves most profitable undertaking to its supporters.

THE ROAD TO HEALTH

IIOLLOWAI"S PILLS
CURE OF
A DISORDERED LIVER AND BAD DIGESTION.

Copy of a Letter from Mr. it. W. Kirlcus, Chemist, 7, Present
street, Liverpool, dated 6th June, IS3I.
To Professor HOLLOWAY. . .

Si a,—Your Pills and Ointment have stood the highest on our

sale list of Proprietary Medicines for some years. -A customer,
to whom I can refer for any inquiries, desires me to let you
know the particulars of her case. She had been troubled for
years with a disordered liver and bad digestion. On the last

Occasion, however, the virulence of the attack was so alarming,
and the inflammation set in so severely, that doubts were en-
tertained of her not being able to bear up under it; foam-lately

she was induced to try your Pills, and she informs me that
after the first, and each succeeding dose, she had great relief.
She continued to take them, and although she used only three
Boxes, she is now in the enjoyment of perfect health. 1 could
have sent you many more cases, but the above, from the seve•
rity of the attack, and the speedy cure, I think, speaks much
vIC
in favour of your astonishing Pills. (Signed) R. W. titkus.

The marked distinction made by Mr. Justice
CROMPTON between the English and the Irish
portion of the Stockport Rioters, as shewn by the
severity of the punishment inflicted on the former,
when compared with that inflicted on the latter,
has excited much remark during the week. It is
pretty generally thought that an expectation of
being enabled to propitiate the Roman Catholic
party, who are ever railing at England's treatment
of Ireland, was impressed upon the mind of the
learned judge. After the ill success, however,
of nearly half a century's endeavours to bring
about a state of amity between the Protestant and
Roman Catholic portions of our population, we
are not very likely to succeed by inclining the scales
of justice in such a very marked manner in favour
of the latter. In the decision of every case of
violence, the plea of provocation is admitted as
mitigating the crime. We agree with Mr. Justice
CROMPTON that the acts of the English party
were attended with more destruction of property
than those of the Irish. But it ought not to be
forgotten that the latter were the aggressors ; and
there can be little doubt in the mind of any man
that, if they had been the stronger party, they
would have been even more outrageous than their
opponents.

To a stranger walking the streets and dOck quays
of Liverpool during the past week, it might almost
have occurred that half the world had taken holi-
day, and that the shores of the Mersey were the
particular locality which they had selected for their
enjoyment. From Monday morning to Saturday,
cheap railway trips have poured in their loads of
passengers from every part of the kingdom ; and,
if we say that these have amounted to 50,000 per-
sons, we believe we are within the mark. To a cer-
tain extent, this may be set down as a proof that
our population throughout the kingdom are in a
sufficiently prosperous condition to enable them to
travel ; but when we consider the nature of the
attraction which has drawn so many persons here,
our self-congratulations are a little lessened. A
noble vessel had to sail, with some six hundred of
the most enterprising of our population, for a gtrangc
land, where they will not be elbowed at every turn ;
and these thousands came to witness her departure.
The very life blood of our country is flowing from
it, to form a new, and, probably, a rival empiie, in
another hemisphere ; and it is becoming a grand
question as to what may he the position of the
British empire at no very distant period. Those
who have thus far gone out from amongst us are
but pioneers of the approaching Exodus. The safe
return of the Great Britain, and the accounts which
she will probably bring of the modern Ophir, will
augment the thousands who are now going there to
tens of thousands. Emigration to such a land feeds
itself. What is now a mere brook will, in a while,
become a rushing river.
We have at length the carrying out of the inso-
lent aggression of the POPE of ROME upon the
prerogative of the Crown in Great Britain. Unre-
pressed by the miserable measures of Lord JOHN
RUSSELL, the POPE'S Cardinal Archbishop, WISE-
MAN, and his Bishops of " the province of West-
minster"—the POPE'S province !—have held their
" synod" at Oscott, and published their " synodical
letter" to the faithful. The object of the delibera-
tions of these contemners of the authority of the
Sovereign has been, it is plain from the letter in
question, to devise the means of bringing this Pro-
testant country under the domination of the Vatican;
and the precise mode in which this object is to be
carried out is described in the following very useful
condensation of the " Synodical Letter" contained
in the Morning Post :

"1. By increasing the means of education, building
schools to every church, and whera a church cannot be
built, there to build a school that may be used as a church
also.

" 2. By making the kind of education ' up to the mark
of modern demand,' and by supporting the Poor School
Committee.

" 3. By appointing inspectors of schools in every dio-
cese, whose duty it will be to examine the scholars in the
religious portion of their education, to grant certificates,
and award prizes.
" 4. By the establishment of middle schools, in which
a good commercial and general education shall be given to
the children of families in a better worldly condition.
"5. By supporting the Catholic University' in Ireland.

" 6. By taking for granted all that this Synod says
against every one who does not belong to the Church of
Rome, and by so doing drawing around themselves a cor-
don sanitaire, and shut themselves in from all contact
with those who impugn the supremacy of ST. PETER'S
chair.

" This is the substance of the first six clauses. Clause
7 is a pious exhortation to the exercise of faith, and espe-
cially that faith which is the basis.of Mariolatry. Clause
8 recites the terrible sufferings of Romanists from recent
persecution, and urges meekness and patience. Clause 9
permits the use of one kind of revenge, that of saying
daily one Hail, Mary, at least, on behalf of those who per-
secute and despitefully use them."
Paragraph 6 is'a striking specimen of Jesuitical
insolence. The Roman Catholic population of this
country are to take for granted all that this or any
other Synod chooses to say against every one who
does not belong to the Church of Rome. Her
Majesty the QUEEN does not belong to the Church
of Rome. What if, in their insolence, these rev.
people chose to say anything derogatory of her ?
The Roman Catholics are to draw round themselves
a cordon sanitaire. We should like t o see such a
cordon drawn round a few of the Irish sections of
them in this town. But the richest portion of this
precious composition is the concluding one, which
bids them revenge themselves upon those who
offend them, "by saying one Hail, Mary." We
suspect that "one Hail, Mary" means something
more like a bludgeon or a brickbat than a prayer.
But, seriously, how long is this to be endured ? It
is clear that there must be a stop put before long to
these treasonable proceedings, or the Protestant
character of the British Constitution will become a
farce and a mockery. We are at present actually
allowing the chains which are intended to bind us
to be forged before our eyes !

BANKRUPTCY COURT, YESTERDAY.—The last exami-
nation in the matter of Robert Peare Stephens, shipowner,
Liverpool, was appointed for yesterdayebefore Mr. Com-
missioner Perry. It was stated to the court by Mr. Duke,
on behalf of the bankrupt, that arrangements were in
progress for the payment in full of all debts due by Mr.
Stephens, and an adjournment was asked for, on his be-
half, until the 20th of September,—the bankruptekinder-
taking that, if the proposed arrangement be not carried
out, the balance sheet should be duly filed in time to
proceed with the last examination on the said 20th of
September. Mr. Thomson, on behalf of the assignees,
assented to the adjournment and the terms thereof, and
the case was postponed accorthugly.

The Ministerial journals are nearly silent as to the
cause of the absence of the Prince President from the hall
at the Hare. All that is said is, that lie was prevented

by a slight indisposition ; but this statement gains no
credit.
The Inte'ret Public of Caen states, that on the occasion
of the fete of the 13th, the Prince President had pardoned
thirty prisoners confined in the prison at Beaulieu.
Several of the Councils of Arrondissement have passed
a resolution in favour of an application to the Senate for
an appeal to universal suffrage to render the powers of
the Prince President permanent. Petitions for the Em-
pire are still being signed in several of the departments.
The Prussian journals are debating the question of the
projected marriage of the French President to the Princess
Carols of Wasa. It is affirmed that the plea of reference
to the Emperor of Austria for his sanction by the father
of the Princess, on the ground of his being an Austrian
Field-Marshal, is tantamount to a positive refusal; and

that, in fact, it is not mersAy Prince Wasa, who objects to
the marriage, nor the Emperor of Austria, but that this
sentiment is participated in by the great Powers of
Germany.
