sailor, too., had from the hands of their messengers read
the glad tidings in the very characters, and almost in the
very words in which they were at first enshrined by the
Holy Ghost. (Loud applause.) Rome dared not give the

FOREIGN NEWS.

FRANCE.—The Eastern question has ceased to be any
longer regarded at Paris in the light of a serious political
complication. The interest it now excites is confined to
two points—to the fact of the French fleet having sailed
from Toulon, and to the effect which the negotiations at
Constantinople between Russia, France, and the Porte,
as well as, it is supposed, Austria, if turning exclusively
upon religious questions, are likely to have upon the
Pope's determination to come to Paris. With regard to
the fleet, the opinion is now general that the mere fact of
its having sailed is no longer to be considered as of itself
alarming, and that it will either be speedily recalled, or
the most pacific instructions be transmitted to its com-
mander.

On Easter Monday the long-talked of ball was given by
the Legislative Corps to the Emperor and Empress, at
the Palace of the Luxembourg. Four thousand were
present, and the crush tremendous, but all passed off
with the greatest eclat. The Empress looked beautiful,
though rather pale. Her Majesty danced with M.
Billault, President of the Legislative body, and the
Emperor with Mdlle. Billault, daughter of that func-
tionary. The other persons in the quadrille were the
Princess Mathilde, who had M. Fould, the Minister of
State, for her partner, their vis.a.vis being M. Rogier,
the Minister of Belgium, and the Countess de Hatzfeldt,
wife of the Prussian Minister. The Emperor, who was
suffering from headache, left with her Majesty at a little
after twelve, but dancing was kept up to an advanced
hour. Among the company there were two personages
who attracted particular attention—the Duke of Bruns-
wick, and a Highland chief, who appeared in his full
costume. Nothing was wanting—the knife at the garter,
the hunting-horn thrown round the shoulder, the plaid,
the kilt, the bonnet, the sporran—all complete as
Roderick Dhu, or Fergus Maclvor. The personage who
excited the curiosity of the spectators was, it is said,
Lord Orkney, and he certainly had more than an equal
share of public admiration. His Highness of Brunswick
has long accustomed us to the splendour of his toilet ;
he was in full blaze that night, and never were grim
beauty and rich adornment more conspicuous. But the
Highland chief bore off the palm. With some of the
provincials who were present, most of whomad
nbeevheerldrethade
h
picturesque costume for the first time, or
Walter Scott, an idea seemed to prevail that his lordship's
dress was the State costume of the House of Peers ;
while others, who had heard much of the civic magnifi-
cence of the London Corporation, rather suspected it was
the holiday toilet of the chief magistrate, his aldermanic
brethren, or the Common Council.
On Easter Monday the Emperor of the French re-
ceived at the Tuileries a deputation' of merchants from
London. The Ministers of State, of Foreign Affairs, and
of the Interior were present. The deputation was com-
posed of Sir James Duke, Bart, M.P., Sir Edward N.
I Buxton, Bart., Mr. Samuel Gurney, Mr. W. Gladstone,

THE MAMA', & PIERCE CONNELLY, M.A.

A letter on the subject of the Madiai, addressed to the.
Earl of Aberdeen, by Pierce Connelly, M.A , published
by Hatchard, has already reached a fourth edition. Mr"
Connelly, a convert from Rome, and formerly domestia
chaplain to the late Earl of Shrewsbury, at Alton Towel,
asserts that this is the very first occasion that, mea spantet
he has penned one line for publication since his residence
in England. He now comes forward to correct what 11°
regards as a general misapprehension in a matter "of
such general interest—and from that general interest %
such great importance—as the treatment of the MOW.
He quotes the passage in Lord Aberdeen's letter
to the General Assembly's Committee, in which the
treatment of the Medial is characterised as "..,0!
variance with the civilization of modern times." m'
this assertion he does not concur, believing with $
writer in the Westminister Review, that Englishmen (tl!,e,
most highly civilized people on earth) are less worthy to
be free now than in the days of Edward 111. Besides be
avows the opinion that " the most voluptuous, the most
accomplished, the most scientific civilisation is perfeetife
compatible, nay, alas ! perfectly congenial with th,,
cruellest despotism in rulers, and the most impoteel
political debasement in the people." The conviction se':
persecution of the pious Florentine-and his wife, with the
" whole damned imposture of the Papacy is at variance
with something, a great deal higher, a greet
deal holier, and a great deal older, than iIY,;
thing it has ever been the fashion to call civilisation.a
—lt is at variance with the being of a 6°,,
and with the nature of a man. It is at variance with thot
laws which were promulgated once and for ever
divinely, universally established upon " the mod
with
eternity"—at the creation. It is at varianceit
personal, all social, all civil, all religious chgy ;wrong
makes justice and the distinction between right and re
stand outside of us, and in opinion, instead of in net
_"1,
and necessity of truth. It is at variance with all person__ :__

ROYAL BANK BUILDINGS,
LIVERPOOL, March, 1853.

There are qualities of Tea imported this season much
finer than for several years past—although the
,first
cost is higher, we shall not alter our list of quotations
to Families till further notice.
The descriptions which we most recommend are—the
fine Canyon SOUCHONG KIND 38.6 d. and3s. Bd.—First
class Congou, 45—EXTRA FINE 4s. 4d.—and can now
offer a curiously fine Souchong at 4s. Bd. per lb.
It is gratifying to us to observe—our hitherto exten-
sive Business gradually increasing—which is decidedly
the result of a careful selection of qualities—and
charging a small profit upon the first cost of impartation,
(which Families are fully entitled to.)
During thirteen years this system has secured for us
the cordial support of the i»habilants of Liverpool ge-
nerally, and by its own merits—our Establishment has
become the channel of supply to many thousands of
Families throughout the kingdom.

As we confine our attention to the Sale of Tca and
Coffee—we are enabled to place these Two very impor-
tant Articles of Domestic use before the Consumer on
such principles that their interests must be promoted as
well as our own.

place on Wednesday, adjacent to the station of the

There was a very large attendance of the gentry. an:
graziers from the surrounding districts, and very, high
prices were realised. This sale produced upwards ?'•
£4OOO. The portion of the estate farmed by the noble
lord has been let to tenants, who are at once to,enter ozl

THE EXODUS.—The Freeman's Journal takeaa gloomy
view of the ultimate effects of the Irish Exodus, which.
as it observes, with .the return of the spring, resumes
more than its old proportions. Home had ceased tO
attract the Celt, and he follows his kindred. whether tO
America or Australia, " with all that strength of domestic
affection which characterizes the Irish race." The Free
man maintains that the result of this efflux cannot be
calculated in reference to the value of property, wages,:
and other questions which are resolvable by upholding
due proportion between land, labour, and population.

BANKS v. OLLERTON.—DISPUTE ON A WILL."—ThiS
was an action to recover possession of a number of cot-
tages at Hindley, near Wigan, under the will of a person
named Richard Banks, who died in the year 1788.
Mr. KNOWLES, Q.C., and Mr. SEGAR were for the
plaintiff, and Mr. ATHERTON and Mr. BLUNDELL for the
defendant. In the year 1788 Richard Banks died, and
by his will he left certain property to his widow for her
life, such property, at her death, to be divided equally
between his daughter, Ellen Fleming, and his grand-
daughter, Ellen Banks, the daughter of Ann Banks, de-
ceased. In case of the death of either the said Ellen
Fleming, or the said Ellen Banks, without lawful issue,.
the property to go to the survivor. In the year 1810 the
widow of the testator died, when the daughter and grand-
daughter took possession of the property under the will-
In 1843, the daughter, Ellen Fleming, was married, a
second time, to the defendant, 111 r. 011erton, and died in
1848, without lawful issue. The plaintiff now claimed
the remainder of the property under the will. The will
having been put in and read,

INDIA OVERLAND MAIL.

Intelligence has been received by overland mail from
Calcutta to the 19th February, Bombay Ist March, and
Rangoon 14th February.
Ambassadors from Ara, accompanied by two mis-
sionaries, had reached General Godwin's camp.
The Emperor of Ava was beseiged in a small fort by his
younger brother, who had the whole army on his side ; iie
was sure of reducing the fort, and desired peace with the
British on any terms.
In conscquenco of orders received from Ava, the Bur-
mese troops had evacuated the province of Pegu, and
General Steel had occupied all the strong positions in the
district. _ _ _

The province of Bassein had been cleared of the enemy
by Captains Pytch and Rennie ' • but an expedition sent
against a robber chief, near Donabew, had been repulsed,
with a loss of two guns and 88 killed and wounded.
Among the officers killed were Captain Loch and Lieut.
Kennedy, R.N., and Captain Pryce, 67th Bengal Native
Infantry. Among the severely wounded were Lieut. Bush-
nell, R.N., and Messrs. Hinde and Wilson, mates of the
Winchester.

At Rangoon accounts merely state that a tremendous
conflagration had nearly swept away the building-yards,
the commissariat, and a large portion of the town. The
city has from its foundation being subject to incessant
fires, and it is said will probably now be rebuilt, with
some material less inflammable than wood. Smallpox
was committing sad ravages amongst the inhabitants.
From the Indian provinces we learn that a civil war had
commenced in Bahawulpore, owing to the escape of the
Nawaub, who, on his brother usurping his throne, had
been imprisoned by him.

AMERICA.—ARRIVAL OF THE PACIFIC.—The United
States mail-steamer Pacific, Captain Nye, with advices
from New York to the 19th ult., arrived on Thursday,.
with 93 passengers, but no specie. The British and North
American Royal Mail steamer Canada, from this port,
arrived at Halifax on the 18th ult.
The steamer Ohio had arrived at New York with the
California mails of the 16th of February, and $2,416,875
in sold dust on freight.
Three failures of houses in the provision trade at Balti-
more are reported. The aggregate liabilities, however,
were not large, being put down at about £250,000 to
£300,000, and it was believed they would be able to pay
from 50 to 75 cents on the dollar. The navigation of the
Hudson river was expected to be resumed in a few days,
and it was thought that the lakes would soon open for
navigation. Large fires had occurred at Buffalo, Troy,
Newhaven, Boston, and Rochester. The British ships
America and Belmont, which had been on fire at New
Orleans, were not so greatly injured as at first supposed ;
and the cotton being pressed would not be damaged more
than 20 per cent. The steamer Bee had exploded her
boilers on the Ohio river, Milling four persons, and
dangerously scalding five others. It was thought that
the clipper ship Atalanta, ashore off the Highlands of
Neversink, would be got off without much damage. She

AN AMERICAN ON SLAVERY.

(FROM THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.)
The American Bible Society has appointed some dis-
tinguished clergymen to attend the meeting of the
British and Foreign Bible Society in London, in May.
Imagine one of our eloquent divines upon the platform in
Exeter-Hall. The vast building is thronged. In glowing
terms he speaks of the word of God, the gift to all His
children. He speaks of the priceless treasure with which
it is fraught to every human soul. He urges its universal
diffusion through Europe, through Asia, through Africa.
Some tongue, eloquent through envy and malice, re-
sponds " Have you, an American, the effrontery to urge
us to send the Bible to the African ? Your eloquence is
wasted here, it is needed at home. Your own countrymen,
professing to be Christians, withhold the Bible from three
millions of souls. You not only refuse to give it to them,
but you declare they shall not have it. Say not that this
is the work of oppressive rulers to which the people are
compelled to submit at the bayonet's point. In your land
the people rule. Go home, then, to your own countrymen,
tell them their boasted liberty and christianity are despised
in lands which they call despotic."
It is in vain that our clerical friend attempts a defence.
Indignation deafens every ear, and the clamour of an au-
dience, loving to reproach Republican America, drowns
his voice. This is the reception that awaits every American
in England. " Who cares," some one valiantly exclaims.
Undeserved obloquy the bold heart can bear ; but merited
contempt crushes the spirit. And who are they who are
thus degrading America, and sinking her in the abyss of
reproach and shame ? They are thirty thousand men, who
insist upon it, that they will have their lands tilled, their
linen washed, and their boots blacked without pay. Their
fathers did it before them, and therefore they will do the
same. And the deep disgrace tarnishes the fair fame of a
noble, liberty-loving, high-minded Nation, twenty-three
millions strong. It is intolerable. We do well to be angry.
