PROTESTANT UNITY
in the re

—lf there be much to condemn
it movement of the Pope in relation to this
country, we believe that in many respects good will arise

some of our contemporaries, the occasion has been seized
by the advocates of Romanism, and in the Jesuit chapel
in Salisbury-street, and others in town, controversial
sermons are in course of delivery. We are glad to find
that the friends of Protestantism are also alive. Weunder-
stand the Rev. V. M. White has announced to his con-
gregation that he intends to deliver in his church in Is-
lington, on Sunday evening next, the first of a series of
lectures on some of the leading points of the Romish
Controversy—the subject to be the pretended unity of
the Church of Rome as opposed to the real unity of the
Church of Christ. A more important topic could not be
selected. It is one to which Romanists invariably turn
with an air of triumph, and to which, though capable of
an easy solution, many superficial Protestants are unable
to give a satisfactory answer. The Reverend Gentleman
is already known as a preacher and writer on Romanism,
and we have little doubt that on the interesting subject—
Protestant Unity—he will maintain the character he has
already gained.
GALLANT CONDUCT.—The steamer Maiden City, on
her passage from Londonderry to this port, on Friday,
fell in with the brig Mary Wilson, eastward bound, in
great distress and dismasted. Captain Crompton, after
very praiseworthy exertions on the part of himself and
crew, succeeded in getting her in tow and bringing her
in safety to the Prince's Basin, where he received the
following testimonial of his gallant conduct :
"To Captain Rickard Crompton, Steamer Maiden City,'

from L

"Sin,—On behalf of the crew and passengers of the Mary
Wilson, 1 beg to offer you our heartfelt thanks for the prompt
generosity with which you came to her rescue on Friday
evening last when she was dismasted, and when we should, in
the dark and squally night which followed, have inevitably
driven on shore and perished but for your timely and disin-
terested assistance. •
" We fervently trust that the ever-watchful Providence
which sent you to oar aid will long protect you from ,all
dangers, and enable you often 'again to save others placed in a
similar extremity. .
" We likewise give our warmest thanks to your first office'
for the vigilance which caused him first to discover us, and to
which we owe our lives. I have also to acknowledge the kind
attentions! and assistance of the agent of your vessel at this
port, Mr. Wood.—fer my companions and myself, lam, Sir,
yours most gratefully, " C jonNsoN, (Owner.)

THE CAPE MAIL STATION.—We are led to under-
stand that the earnest efforts made by the Liverpool
Chamber of Commerce, and especially by Mr. Harold
Littledale, to procure the choice of Liverpool as the
principal station for the arrival and departure of the Cape
Mail Steamers, are at length in a fair way of being suc-
cessful. At the recent quarterly meeting of the Chamber,
it will be remembered, Mr. H. Littledale urged the pro-
priety of all Liverpool merchants interested in the pro-
posed extension of steam enterprise in the direction of the
Cape indicating their desires by embarking some amount
of capital in aid of the line in question. We now under-
stand that the representations made to the company have
been received with great consideration, and we have it in

our power to state that, whilst as yet no port of departure,
&c., has been decided upon for the permanent line, the

claims of Liverpool will beer

LATEST INTELLIGETcrig.
BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.

LONDON, MONDAY NIGHT.

IMPORTANT CONTINENTAL INTELLIGENCE.
GERMANY—HESSE CASSEL.—A Frankfort letter Of
the Ist instant, in the Cologne Gazette, states, that -on
that day a Bavarian corps of 8000 men, 1000 Austrian
riflers, and 20 field pieces entered the city of Hanau. The
head-quarters remained at Hanau, supported by 3500
troops—horse, foot, riflers, and artillery. Their entry
was very sudden, and so little prepared were the inhabi-
tants of Henan, that great difficulty was found in quarter-
ing the troops. The inhabitants of Hanau remain tran-
quil, and the only demonstration made was the tearing
off and pasting over of the proclamation of the Elector
and of Count. Rech berg, who addressed them in his qua-
lity of general commissioner. The Elector stated that
the object of the entry of the Austrio-Bavarian troops
was to carry out the resolutions of the Electoral Diet,
and to reintroduce a state of legality and order. Imme-
diately upon the entry of the Bavarian army, the Hessiah
troops 1: ft Hanau. Advices received by telegraph from
Berlin, of the 2nd, state that the intelligence of the entry
of a Bavarian and Austrian force into Hesse had revived
the rumours of impending war. The following despatch
is contained in the Cologne Gazette of yesterday (Sunday):
Berlin, Nov. 2nd, Night.—" The leadinz article of the
Journal German Reforme, which has just been given out,
assumes a bolder and more martial tone." The despatches
which announce the invasion of Hesse by Bavarian and
Austrian troops, have suggested the possibility of a con-
flict. The German Reforme has, however, still some
hope that Bavaria will repent of her hasty measure, and
that an apology will he rendered to Prussia.
DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.—HAMBURG, Nov. Ist.
The Holsteiners have attempted to provoke another
skirmish, but the Danes have retired by special order
within their entrenchments. A letter from Kiel, with
respect to General Hahns mission, the object of which is
said to be the negotiation of an armistice, intimates that
the Holstein Government will not consent to sn.pend
their military operations so long as Schleswig is occupied
by the Danes. The anticipated landing of the Danes at
Heilgenhefen had not occurred.

LORD JOHN MANNERS ON THE PAPAL

AGGRESSIONS.

WE have been permitted to peruse and obtain
a copy of a letter from Lord John Manners to a
gentleman in this town, on the subject of the
Papal aggressions, and accede to the request that
we would assist in giving to it that extended pub-
licity to which its importance entitles it. We are,
however, of opinion that the Church can make
herself heard with sufficient distinctness without

being assembled in convocation. We must not
make too much of our personal preference

NOTICE.

Commercial Law ; its Principles and Administration:
Vol. I. By Leone Levi. Landon : William Ben-:
fling and Co.; and Simpkin, Marshall, and Co.
Liverpool : Wareing Webb.

Deeply interested as this country is in its commercial
relations with foreign countries, it is almost inconceivable
that hitherto we should have possessed no compendious,
work containing an exposition of the commercial law as
existing in those countries, and its analogy with the Com-
mercial law of this country. To some extent the com-
mercial dictionary of M'Culloch supplied information of
the description required. The article on the law of part-
nership, for example, conta.ned in that work, contains all
that is required upon the subject, so far as Great Britain
is concerned ' • but it contains no guide to the distinguish-
ing codes of foreign countries. The monetary usances
between different countries are very imperfectly give.a by
M'Culloch, and many other important. items of informa-
tion are altogether omitted. Mr. Leone Levi has stepped
in very opportunely to fill up the existing void ; and has
produced a work, the value of which to the mercantile
world must be very great. The opening chapter contains
a concise history of commerce from the earliest ages of the
world to the present epoch. We have next a chapter on
the present state of the commercial law of the various
countries, pointing out the particular code adhered to in
each. As an appendix to this chapter we are furnished
with tables of the usances between the different states of
Europe, with the practice of bills of exchange, &c. The
second part contains " The law on merchants, minors,
married females, and aliens, in Great Britain, and the
other commercial countries of the world. The chapter
contains a fund of high:F.-interesting and important in-
formation. The law of partnership is next treated of at
great length, and is followed by an ably-drawn-up ana-
lysis.

The research displayed throughout the whole work is
very great, and must have been attended with labour and
painstaking of no ordinary amount; and the results and
opinions of the author are clearly and felicitously ex-
pressed. As a work of reference, we repeat, it will be in-
valuable to the mercantile community.
