Afcosrrsi , Seci - These circulars are accompanied by a mani " festo , in -which it is stated that theloan is con " tra c t e d b y tho committee in -virtue , of the powers conferred npon the ex-triumvirs , hy an act of some representative of the people passed on the 4 th of July , 1849 , after Rome lad fallen b y forei gn arms . They resolved .:

      —That no Government is legitimate unless it represents the national idea of the people over whose collective life it presides , and be freely recognised by that people : . - That thenirf « M « rfidea of Rome is now incontestably that of In d epen d ence , ef Liberty , and of Ita l i an Unity : That the present Government o > Koine , implanted and maintainedbj tfce force of forei gn arm s on the ruins of the People ' s Republic , does not represent that idea : Considering , also ,

      That for the speedy development and for the ultimate triumph of the national idea , the unification , and the regular action of all the elements now isolated and deprived of a common direction are required ; . That this object can only he attained by the institution of a central directing body That it little matters where such central body exists and acts , provided only tbat the idea , and tbe future of the nation he better represented and promoted by it than by any of the existing Governments : - Considering , lastly , That misfortune and exile do -not lessen or interrupt the rig hts a n d duties of a People and i t s representatives , but confirm and : sanction them :

      We , Representatives of the People , Mem b ers o f the Roman Constituent Assembly , obeying the voice of our consciences , and mindful of the wants of the nation , constitute provisionally , and until the People shall be enabled freely to manifest its wishej , an Italian National . Committee , composed of the following citizens ;—Joseph Mazzini , ex-trirrmvir of the Raman Republic , . Aurelio Sam * , idem , Mattia Monteccbi , idem , in the Executive Committee of tbe Roman Republic .

      And we entrust them with the mandate , and confer upon them the power of Contracting a Loan in the name of the Roman People , an d i n b ehalf of tbe National cause ; and generally of promoting , by every useful-political or financial act , the reestablishment in Rome of the legitimate authority of the People—empowering them loadd to their number , if necessary , to or more other Italian citizens—and appealing to all true Italians to assist them by every possible means in tbe execution of tbeir labour , and to conform themselves , as much as passible , to any regulations they may issue in the interest of the nation at large . The Committee says : —

      This honourable mandate was accepted by the three citizens named iu the Act , who passed together into exile , whilst circumstances- compelled the third Triumvir of the Republic to take refuge in another country . The elements of action were , as time and means permitted , reorganised : the disbanded ranks of the National party were rallied around a centre . The Act was not published , because , for a mere preparatory labour no mandate was required , except that which tbe state of the cou nt ry g ives to . every man endowed with a firm faith , with love , and with a spirit not resigned to slavery ; but it was presented to those of our scattered brethren with whom it was most easy to communicate ; and the signatures of sixty representatives of the Republic were thus affixed to it , as well

      as those of a hundred others belonging to all the Italian provinces and well known to their fellowcifc ' zens by the offices which they had filled in the National Assemblies of Venice , Sicily , and Naples , ar id in governments favouring the movement of late years , or by their having served in our armies . Our labours being now more advanced , we think the time for its publication has arrived . A period of new life is now initiated for European Democracy and f or the just cause" of the Peoples : a compact has been entered . into between tbe men of thought and of action , belonging to nations struggling for truth and for eternal right against falsehood and arbitrary power \ - and it is important' that the Italian " National party should now assume a bolder consciousness of itself , of its strength / and of its

      mission . the principles which guide our action are well kaowo . They are included in the limits of out maVse , sod confirmed b y malti ' trions and manifest proofs of the national will : — Independence , Liberty , Unification—our object : War arid < an Italian Constituent Assembly—the means . The foreigner is encamped on our soil ; we wish to chiis him thence . We are all , more or less , the slaves of Institutions and Governments which deaden in ns both tbe diznity and the conscience of

      the citizen ; we wish to be free—all of ns—free as God has wished ns to be . We are separated from each osber by laws , custom-houses , armies , foreign influences , ambitions , and treaties ; and we wish to he united . Free , united , strong in our brotherhood , ire shall provide for our national futurity according to our tendencies , our present consciousness , and the counsels of the best amongst us . Our policy is s mple , straightforward , free from sophisms and from every Utopia . It has prevailed , and will prevail more and more , over all the studied and co m p lex schemes of local parties or of sects .

      A single war can save Italy : but it must be a war of all the regular and irregular forces of the ; nation , headed by men of well-fried love of their i country ; directed by a supreme power exempt from i every obligation except that of conquering , seeking : no reward save that of a pure and satisfied conscii enee—with no daty entrusted to it save that of i combatting for the general cause—with no allies liave the Peoples in simultaneous movement—with mo programme save tbat of the National Soveiieignty . Such a war it shall be our endeavour to promote ; we will propitiate circumstances , and prep a r e arms land the co-operation of other Peoples also oppresssed , to w h om our b a nner will pr o claim , as did that cof tbe Poles , * For our and your Liberty . '

      And we alone , u n trammell e d b y the ties or itiffluence of diplomacy , having no other obligation eexcept that whica we owe to our country , and no cotter fear than that of its disapproval , can proreote tthis war . Placed beyond all municipal or provincial spirit , we know only Italians ; we can best reppresent the . interests , the rights , the hopes , the wwars , and the destines of the nation . Men who are free ffrom all constraint turn their eyes , without mis .

      titrust or suspicion , upon us in exile . Our banner is loone of concord aud of hope to all oppressed natitionalUies . Between Rome and Venice , b e t ween JPesth and Milan , between "Venice and Bucharest , cciues of one country , the country of maryrs and of tUhe believers in one common future , tbe Italian Natiional Committee is a ready and acceptable link . It iids part of a vast chain , extending itself wheresoever itltbe sense of rig ht and faith in eternal justice lives saand moves .

In adopting Mr . Paxton ' s design one ' would Imagine the building committee considered Itrthat they were relieved from further responsibility , : asas the glass now specified for the structure is of

      itltbe cheapest and commonest description , viz ., sheet jglghws 18 ounces to the foot , or one-sixteenth of an iininch thick—an article quite unfit for any roof , especcici . lly in sizes 49 inches by 10 inches , such as are EBIEmplcyed .

      The La. Te West Riding Delegate Meeting....

      THE LA . TE WEST RIDING DELEGATE MEETING . IO UR . THOMAS CLARK . Dkab Sib , — It i s w ith pleasure I write to you to state the position in which I was placed at the late assumed West Riding Delegate Mcetina at Bradford . In doing sol have to state , that at a special meeting of the Chartists of this locality , held on the 18 th of October , to take into consideration the propriety of the proposed Manchester Conference ,

      and to . elect a delegate to the Bradford meeting , I was chosen to represent . the Chartists of this place at Bradford , and my instructions were approbatory of holding a Conference at Manchester , as soon as possible , and highl y disapproving of mixing the objects of other movements with that of the Charter . I assure you that I supported my instructions to the best of my ability , notwithstanding the letter that was read there , and my having been appointed Chairman in order to gag me . You will now understand why the report of the meeting was such as appeared in the Star .

      In conclusion , I have to say that there are many misrepresentations of the people besides those in the House Of Commons . Thanking you for the advocacy of our opinions in your letters , and in the addresses of the Charter League , ¦ - . I remain , yours , David Lawson . lower "Warley , November llth . :

After the settlement of some minor business , it was finally settled tbat , on the following Svm da v evening , the room should be thrown open for a public lecture , the subject to be— "The letter of the Pope , in appointing Cardinal Wiseman , " and to commence at seven o ' clock .

      The Late Shocking Colliery Accident At H...

      THE LATE SHOCKING COLLIERY ACCIDENT AT HADDOCK . The adjourned inquest upon the bodies of the ten persons who lost theirlives by the accident at a colliery at Qaydock , on the 7 th inst , was resumed on Monday , before John Hayes , Esq ., t h e d istr i ct coroner . J . Tremenhere , Esq ., was present as an inspector for the government , under the provisions of the recent act of parliament . —The first witness examined was Thomas Litherland , the underlooker . He stated that there was great difficulty in preventing the men in t h e m i ne f rom w ork in g w i t h lighted candles . It must have been through the negligence of the men that the accident happened . —By Mr . Tremenhere : A government inspector was down in the mine twelve months ago , and the air in the mine was then pure . He did not know whether any of the deceased persons could either read or write . —Ralph Lsjland , one of the colliers , was the next witness . He was working in the mine at the

      tune t h e ex plosion took place . Whore he was working he had been through into the "old workings " more than three months . He had never been told not to use candles . —Thomas Greenalgb , another col l ier , who was also working in the mine when t he exp l os i on took pl ace , said he broke through into one of the old workings on the 6 th inst . He went close to the old workings the same night with a lamp , and conld not bear it near it , the air was so foul . It blew the lamp out . A sheet is generally put over an old working ,, to . prevent the foul air from breaking in when we cut through . No sheet was put over this working until the following morning . —By Mr . Tremenhere : Whose duty is it to puta sheet over the old workings when . you break through ? Why it may be ours : but we had no sheet in the mine at the time . I should think it is the underlooker ' s duty to see that sheets are ready —How often does the underlooker come into the mine . He bas not been into it since we came to

      that part of the mine . —How long is that since ? About a fortnight . —By . a Juror : 1 do not think the . air in tho mine has been as pure as it should be since I worked there . —By another Juror : Have you ever received orders from the underlooker to give him notice when you come to tbe old workings ? No . On Monday , he asked me if I was nearly through , and I saiclno . The underlooker did not give us orders to use lamps when coming to the old workings . —By W . Tremenhere : Do you recollect of any man being turned off for using candles instead of lamps : No . —Do you know of any man using candles instead of lamps after he had been told not to use . candles ? No . —Have you ever used candles when you have been told to use lamps ? No . Whenever I was

      told to use lamps I have done so . —By a Juror : Are you in the habit of using powder in order to get coal ? Yes . —Does the underlooker know that ? Yes , I suppose so . —Wben did you use powder last ? On Monday . —By the Coroner : I do not think the powder I used on Monday week would split into the old workings . —Would it net shake them ? No , they were two or three yards thick . —Ralph Ellam , another collier , who was in the mine when the accident took place , gave similar evidence to the preceding . —Litherland , the overlo o ker , was here re-called , and was interrogated at some length , by Mr . Tremenhere . —By Mr . Tremenhere : You were aware that there was an a c c umul a tion of gas in the old workings . Yes , but it was impossible for it to get into the

      mine where the men were working until they had cut through the old workings . —But the moment they had cut through the gas would escape , and an explosion might take place if it was not stopped up ? Yes . —Ought not it to be stopped up at once ? Yes , it is the duty of the men to put a sheet over it . —How often do you go down into the mine ? Why , there are several mines , and . I go from one to another . —Dave you been a fireman ? No . —Then several days might elapse before you inspected tbe mine ? No , not more than two or three . —The Coroner : 1 thought it was usual for a man to go over a coal mine every morning , before the men went to work , to see if the mine was safe ? Well , sir , it has never been the case in our mines . — A Juror : I am of opinion that the strictest

      regulations as to lamps ought to be enforced . —The Co r oner : Why , I have no doubt that the presence of the government inspector will lead to some such regulation . —Mr . Tremenhere here remarked that the' inspectors , under the recent act of parliament , had not yet been appointed . Had these appointments b een ma d e , he had no doubt that a practical man , much better acquainted with . mining operations than himself , would have been present , and that a searching inquiry into the actual state and management of the mine would have been instituted . As it was , he hoped that the present investigation would cause several alterations to be made in the management of the mine . For instance , he was strongly of opinion that there ought to be a fireman , whose duty it should be to see that the

      mine was safe before the workmen entered it , and who should also be constantly on the look out in the mine . The use of lock-up lamps also ough t to be rigidly enforced . —The jury th ' en returned a verdict of " Accidental death , " and , by direction of the coroner , Mr . Evans , the proprietor of the mine , was sent for . On his arrival , the Coroner in f orme d him of the suggestions made by Mr . Tremenhere ^ and urged upon him the necessity of carrying out those suggestions for the purpose of ensuring increased protection to the lives of the men employed in tbe mine . He also considered tbat a code of rules should be drawn up for the general management of the mine , similar to those in force at other collieries in the neighbourhood . —The inquiry then terminated .

      Hartwig Yos Blucher , a German naturalist , has introduced a heated roller in Scotland , which being passed over the land burns the weeds , and furnishes in the ashes an excellent manure . Caption to the Public . —No sooner is a medicine well established m public favour than a host of imitators spring up , who , for the sake of profit not only wrong tbe proprietor of the genuine medicine , but inflict a serious injury on the unwary purchaser of their base ceunterfeit trash . These remarks apply to the remedy which is so weU known as ABEasExnv ' s Pile Ointment . This excellent remedy for Piles has been established by undoubted proofs of its efficacy . Purchasers may be able to detect these frauds by asking particularly for Abernethy ' s Pile Ointment , in covered pots , price 4 s . 6 d ., ( which is tlie lowest price the proprietor is enabled to sell it , owing to ihe great expense of the ingredients , ) and observe the name of C .

      Pickpockets at the Lord Matoh s PaocxaaioN . —Several young men were brought before his lordship upon charges of having picked the pockets of gentlemen of silk handkerchiefs on the day of the mayoralty procession , in Cheapside and other places , in which the activity of Baydon , Funnel ] , Trew , Hu ^ gett , and other experienced officers was strongly displayed . But few prosecutors attended , the gentlemen who were : robbed having preferred the loss of their property to the loss of their time . —His lordship committed the delinquents for various terms proportioned to their experience in the art , and discharged one , the evidence being in his opinion not quite conclusive of the prisoner ' s -guilt or showing a possibility of innocence .

      Stonb Throwing . —A boy who is in the habit of holding horses at the Bank was charged with having wounded a gentleman named W . Owen Tucker under the eye with a stone . —Mr . Tucker said that as he was passing through Threadneedle-street on Saturday , the defendant flung a stone which struck and cut him under the eye . If the missile had hit him a little higher no sKill could , as a professional gentleman told him , have saved bis eye . There were two boys near , the witness at the time the mischief was done , and the defendant said that he had meant the stone for one of them . Two persons who seemed to be very desirous for the liberation of the defendant , offered the witness twenty shillings and

      forty shillings to let the lad go ; and when they found that tbeir offer was treated with contempt treated , the gentleman with great insolence . —; The boy said he really did not mean to do the slightest injury to anybody ; and the complainant , s a id that perhaps his lordship would consider the . imprisonm e nt from S a tur da y : to Mon d ay to b e a ,, lesson sufficiently sharp for his dangerous frolic—The Lord Mayor said the practice was , one of exceedingly great danger , particularly in a thoroughfare of the City of London , and he could not think of discharging the defendant without payment of the penalty of 10 s . under the Police Act , or fourteen days'hard labour .

      Serious Chargk against a Regeht-Stbbkt Tradesman . —Mr . E . Williams , of No . 211 , Regentstreet , was charged before the Lord Mayor under the following circumstances . — Mr . George A . tforthover , in the employment of Messrs , Watts , of No . 6 , Gutter-lane , Cheapside , silk warehousemen , said on Friday evening , the 8 th inst ., b etween seven and nine o ' clock there was stolen from our warehouse about sixty pieces of plain and fancy silks valuo . between £ 500 and £ 600 . They were twentyfour inches wide and from twelve to eighty yards in length . At a quarter to seven o ' clock , the porter and I went through the premises and left all right . The porter lockea the warehouse door and the hall door . We occupy the ground floor . —The Lord

      Mayor : Was nobody left in the house to watch it Witness : Nobody . 1 should know the silks again if I saw them ; they are of so peculiar a character . They were made for us , and not for any other persons in the trade . I have seen tbe pattens of some of the silks , but not the bulk . —The policeman who apprehended the prisoner here produced twentytwo patterns of fancy silks . —Witness :: I believe these to be patterns of some of the goods which were lost . —The Lord Mayor : Are you sure that these goods were made exclusively for your house ? Witness : Yes . We have also lost goods of several other patterns . —The Lord Mayor : Have you any knowledge of the prisoner ? Witness : None whatever . —The Lord Mayor : What are the prices of

      the pieces which you have lost , and of which these are patterns ? Witness : From 3 s . to 4 s . 6 d . a y ard , with the exception of one piece . —Mr . John Edmonds : I am in the employment of' Messrs . Shoolbred and Co ., Tottenham-court-road , drapers , I am a buyer for the house . On Monday evening at five o ' clock I was called by Mr . Brown , one of the partners of the firm , and introduced ; to Mr . "Williams , as having a lot of silks to sell , of which he had brought patterns . I saw . the patterns and asked about the price . The prisoner said he had them to sell for a party , who stated at first that the price was 2 s ., but afterwards that Is ; : yd . was the pr i ce , and that , if that price would riot answer he would take an offer , and that tbe silks were

      to be sold that evening . Mr ;' - Brown said to Mr . Williams , if we buy these silks , w h o do w e buy them of ? are we to buy them of you ? The prisoner said , "Yes . " Mr . Brown said will it do to Jet youknow in an hour and a half ? Mr . Williams replied . in the affirmative , and appointed his house , No . 21 I ,. > Be ? gent-street , for the place of ^ meeting ; and hes ' aid tome , " Tako care of these patterns ; don't'letany one see them . " I looked attheipatterns , and having seen things of the kind at Messrs . Watts and Co . 's at 3 s . Id . some time before , I thought it to b ' e . my duty , tO : go , rbund to the house to make inquiry ; which I accordingly did ^ Mr . Shoolbred went with me , and , having communicated with the house , we afterwards communicated with the police . At

      halfpast six , the appointed time , ' Mr . Shoolbred went with me to Mr . Williams , and we asked him whether we could see the goods ; Mr . Williams said No , he had only got the patterns . We asked him if the length were regular ; arid he said they were long lengths , and that the shortest was forty yards . Mr . Shoolbred said , " Whose are the goods ? Where are they ? " Mr . Williams-said— ' I am a kind of an agent employed tffsell the goods for a party , and if you particularly wish to see the party , I sh a ll go on and let you know all the particulars in the course of an hour . " We then , left ' the place , and Mr . Williams came accordingly in the course of an hour . He then said ho knew nothing more of the party than that he had left the patterns . —Inspector Mitchell : The prisoner , upon being questioned about

      the parties for whom he acted , could give no description of them . All he could say was that one was a tall man and the other was a stout man , and he declared that he knew nothing at all about them . —Mr . Clarkson asked the Lord Mayor to accept of bail for the appearance of the prisoner . —The Lord Mayor said , the prisoner had declared himself to the parties to whom he went to sell the articles of which he produced the samples as a kind of agent to those who were anxious to dispose of them , and offered to satify all the inquiries of the former , and he afterwards denied all knowledge of his employers . His lordship then stated that he would take bail , but it must be unexceptionable bail , in two s uret ie s of £ 250 each , and the pr ' soner himself in the sum of £ 500 , to appear < m a future day . —The prisoner was then remanded .

      GUILDHALL . — Charge op Uttering Base Coin . —Joseph Thomas Bethell Jones was cvarged with misdemeanour . —William Moody , landlord of the White Swan , Salisbury-court , Fleet-street , stated that about a quarter before twelve on Sunday night prisoner entered his house and called for f our p enny worth of g in and water , which he drank at the bar . He then gave witness ' s wife a shilling , and she was about to give him the change when she discovered it was a bad one . ; She communicated the fact to her husband ( witness ) , and he tried it in the counterfeit coin detector , affixed to the counter , and bent it like a thin piece of lead . Witness threw it on tho counter , and told the prisoner it w as not a good one , and he put into his pocket , and

      took out a sixpence and paid for what he had had to drink . Mr . Howell , the landlord of the Savoy , in Savoy-street , Strand , happening to be at the bar at the same time , told witness not to let prisoner go , as he had every reason to believe that he was a regular smasher , in spite of bis respectable appear * ance . Witness , in consequence ^ gave him into custody ; and subsequently ascertained that prisoner went to the Savoy , in company with a friend , a b out a month ago , and tendered a bad half-crown there , bub was let go on the faith of his own representation that it was a mistake . About three day » after p r i soner c a lle d ag a in , and tendered another halfcrown , which was also found to be bad , and he was accordingly given into custody , and taken before the magistrate at Bow-street . The charge was ultimately withdrawn , in consequence of prisoner ' s beggi n g t h e p r os e c ut o r to c on si d er his position in life , and the disgrace that would be attached to his

      family if such a thin" were brought before the public . —Alderman Challis : What have you to say to the charge ?—Prisoner : I can assure you , sir , that lam innocent . I am very highly connected . My father , whose name is the same ag my own , is a gentleman of considerable property , r e s iding a t Sible Hedingham , in Essex . I have always borne a good character , and can refer you to very respectable parties , who will confirm what I say . —Tho prisoner then referred the alderman to several of the magistrates at Sible Hedingham for his character ; also to Mrs . Phillips , of 26 , Jermyn-street , and Mr . Chapman , oftheAthenmum Club-house , an d f urt h er sta t e d th a t every mem b er o f the At h enseum k new him , and would be able to speak as to his respectab ility , —Alderman Challis said he would remand tl . e case unti l Satur d ay next , for the Solicitor for the Mint to attend and prosecute . He hoped that the prisoner would then avail himself of the opportunity to refute the charge . —Remanded accordingly .

      until the publication would' be completed . Defendant ' soon after entered the room , and witness asked for an account of the money which he ( Dillon ) had re c eive d for the . publieation that morning . Defend a nt r e fu s ed , to render . any account , and said he would disburse the money as he thought proper . Defendant'then , without any provocation from witness , said in an angry manner , " You are adreadful villain , " of which witness took no notice .

" Witness cautioned him against committing any further assault , and defendant eubsequently showered

      a torrent of grossly abusive epithets upon witness .

He went there for that purpose on Friday evening last , and when he got into the house he observed several persons , male and female , before the bar , amongst whom was the defendant . As he was giving in the notice paper the defendant came forward and looked over his shoulder , remarking that he would pay the lot for the landlord . The defendant then asked him to have something to drink , and he declined . The

      defendant asked him to shake hands , and to this he said he had no objection . He held out his hand , upon which the defendant laid hold of him by his waistcoat and shirt , and forced him back rudely towards the stairs . The defendant repeated this rudeness with greater violence , and complainant then declared he would give the defendant into custody for the assault . He requested the landlord to give him the defendant ' s name . The landlord made light of the affair , and said he lived by such persons as the defendant . Complainantpersisted in bis determination to call a constable . The landlord said if he did he would get himself into trouble , as the d efen da nt w a s o ne of th e " Great City men . ' . '

He had no rig ht , however , to knock it off , which at , the station-house he admitted he did ; , and as he { the magistrate ) , after taking into consideration the contradictory statements made by complainant , could not do otherwise than consider he ( the latter ) had committed the first assault , the summons was dismissed . ; Brutal Outrage . —Matthew M'Dermot , an Irish labourer , " who has many times been in custody for drunkenness and assaults of a most violent nature , was again brought up and placed at the bar before

On the visit of her Majesty to that kin £ dom the same prelates were presented to the Queen THE PAPAL HIERARCHY IN ENGLA ^ T "

      as if they were nobles , and precedence was ciyen them over the nobility and dignitaries of the Na tional Church ; and it was only the other day asi T believe , that the government offered the office nf Visitor to the Queen ' s Colleges to Dr .

Lord John Russell ; and entirely and

      heartily approves the principles therein expressed and his determination to maintain unimpared th £ great constitutional doctrine that' rio foreign prince ? or potentate will b e permitted to fasten his fetters upon a nation which has so long and so nobly vindicated its right to-freedom of opinion , civil , poll tical ; and religious . ' And that the cordial and sin , cere thanks of this Court be presented to his Lordshi p , not only as one of tbe representatives of this city in parliament , but as the Prime Minister of the Crown , and the organ of her Majesty ' s government , for such a declaration of opinion as . must reassure all her Majesty ' s subjects of the unabated

      desire of those m power to uphold in its integrity the religious freedom of the British einpire . ' ¦ ' -: Sir Peter Laurie never was more delighted than no w in seconding such a motion . For the . Pope ' s- ' recent proceedings the Bishop of London was him ' r self in a great degree to blame : be had been guilty of great want' of firmness against Puseyism a few *' years since , and now is guilty of " a sort of Jim-\ Crow-iam , both improper and objectionable . " B ut the Pope is much deceived by these Wisemans , and Oakleys , and Newmans : the laity will , if need arise , " fight even irpon their stumps in opposition to the assumed power of the Church of Rome . "

      THE METROPOLITAN CLERGY . At a meeting of the President and Fellows of Sion College , the assembled clergy expressed their t h anks f or t h e B i shop ' s reply . Lord John Russell ' s letter having b een rea d , Dr . Croly declaimed on the subject of a general conspiracy afoot throughout Europe against Protestantism . He noticed as a £ regnant sign of the times , that three Romanists ave been appointed by our government to the highest diplomatic dignity of ambassador ; and the last of these appointments ia that of Mr , Shell to Tuscany , which has always been the secret conduit through which the British government dealt with Rome . A committee was appointed , who drew up an address to the Queen , warning her Majesty against the tendency of the Papal acts to undermine the very foundation of her throne ; and the address was unanimously adopted .

      The clergy of the Archdeaconries of Middlesexhave published their protest against the Papal usurpation , and an invitation to the laity to co-operatein nullifying it . At a meeting of the ratepayers of St . Bride's , resolutions were passed " con d emn at ory o f Rome ' s presumptuousness . " Alderman Sidney said he was f or toler a t i on , but it behoved them to think well how far toleration would now be compatible withour civilliberty .

      DISGRACEFCL PROCBEDISGS . At a meeting 0 f the Protestant inhabitants of Islington , a resolution was proposed denouncing the ac t of the P o pe a s a n inv as ion of th e s up r em a cy of the Crown , and the rights and privileges of the English Church , and as an outrage on the Protestant feelings of the nation , Mr . Miall , ( of the Nonconformist , ) intended to propose an anti state church amendment and ascended the platform for that / purpose , when a clergyman behind him seized" the collar of his coat ' and ' swung him

      partially round , and immediately another clergyman , the Rev . Mr . Cole , clasped him by the arms or wa i st , andithetwo united , lifting " him frbmvhis feet hurled him headlong to tke ^ ground at the side of the platform I Mr . Miall was slightlv injured , as were also two ladies with whom he came in contact . Bills hare been posted " t h rough the parish , in which are the following sentences : — " Beware of signing anv address acknowledging 'the supremacy of the Crown , in matters of reli g ion , and upholding 'the rights and privilege * of the English Church . "

      " The Queen has no more scriptural right to appoint bishops than the Pope , and the Church of England is as intolerant and arrogant , and is fast becoming as popish as the Church of Rome . " " The brutal and unprovofied attack on Mr . Miall at the- ' Meeting of the Protestant inhabitants of Islington , on Friday night proves that Churchmen hate free discussion as much as Romanists . " "Alas ! for the Church , when the Evangelical Churchmen can defend it only by foul play and physical force . " r ' On Monday night it was resolved at a numerous meeting that both the offenders should be required to publish an ample apology or be prosecuted in a court of law .

      Besides tbe ' different diocesan clergy meetings , with addresses to their : bishops and responses thereto , mixed meetings of clergy and laity are being held in all the provincial cities and towns .

      RESTORATION OF THE PENAL LAWS . The Morning Advertiser } in its leading column , says , that so great and manifold have been the applications made to Lord John Russell , by all classes of her Majesty ' s subjects , to prevent the partitioning of England in to " Roman \ Catholic bishoprics , he has resolved on introducing a bill with that view , immediately on . the re-assembling of Parliament . The same journal adds , that " one of the provisions of the bill will subject any party to pains and penalties who either verbally , or by writing ,, addresses by the title of archbishops or bishop any of the newly elected Romanish hierarchy .

      Baalham And The Ass.—One Of Those Rare O...

      Baalham and the Ass . —One of those rare occurrences , which could not fail to set townsfolk on the gigg le , came off in Head-street , Chelmsford , bet ^ een seven and ei » bt o ' clock on Saturday evening . A lad , named Sawkin s , from East Donvland , was driving a donkey and cart down the street to the Post-office , when suddenl y ho lost all command over the animal , by its plunging forward at full speed and , despite the subduing influence of bit and bridle , the stubborn and hard-mouthed animal staved not until it had reached the end of the street , an d then thrust its head through the window front of Mr . J . Baalham , hatter , and clothier . The affrighted Baalham rushed out and seized the ass , which'brayed lamentably at the mishap , and the offender was detained in the tailor ' s custody till the sum of half-acrown was forthcoming for the damages .

      Note This !—The Small Tenements Rating Act , says the Gateshead Observer , has raised the valuation of the Monkwearmouth shore from £ 8 , 4 ± 7 to £ 15 , 344 , and reduced the rate from fifteen pence in the p oun d to e i g ht pence .
