' THE PAPAL HIERARCHY IN ENGLAND . ' Tb . 3 excitem ent upon this question appears to be gradually subaJinc . Fever meetings are being held , and tiro language delivered breathes a more rational and l-. beral ' spirit than that addressed to previous ' n
meaiings . At the Surrey County meeting , Sir Edward garden delivered what may be considered his legal opinion . He appears to have discovered that although the law connives at free communication with Rome by the Papal Church in this country , the offence of promulgating the Pope ' s bull . witmn the four seas is punishable . The mischief is , that the same statute which denounces the oftence is shorn of all its penal clauses-so that although the crime is punishable , law does not declare what the punishment shall he . ... , _ Omitting the legal p hraseology of the lawyer , we direct the attend « ' « ur «**» " & * £ n" / liberal and patriotic letter of Mr SharnaH Crawford to Mr Thomas Livcaev , of Rochdale , £ > r the consideration of his constituents :-
•• Deab Sib , As you acquaint me that some of mv constituents wish to he informed of my views on the subject so deeply agitating the minds of the people of England , I willing comply with the desire you express . " It is said that the Pope , in his late appointment of a hierarchy in England , has assumed a pretension of supremacy over the realm , inconsistent with the spiritual independence of the nation . I freely admit that the wording of the document , which proilaimed this new establishment , is liable to the charge of assuming to ignore every other religion and religious establishment , as the mere offspring « f infidelity . So far I concur in the -honest expression of inlignant rebuke of the arrogant declaration
of ecclesiastical exclusiyeness , which this wording conveys , and which 1 may say is the general character of all ecclesiastical documents emanating from the see of Rome . But if the hierarchy appointed by the Pope ' s authority , be considered as limited to the dutk-3 appertaining to the Catholic community , I know no reason why that religious body should not have bishops , if they chooso that mode of church government . I know no reason why those bishops should not style themselves by th « name of the district for which they are appointed to act , as the Roman Catholic bishops of that district . To deny to the Roinan Catholics in England the claim to have bishops for their church , would be a violation of religious liberty , and
directly contrary to the manner of treatment 'adopted towards that community in all other portions of the British dominions . But it is said the Pai = eassumed powers beytnl this . If he ( Joes so , what is the v . ilue of such assumption ? I assert that no papal power can be established over the realm of England ; no fetters can be placed on the minds of the English Protestants ; no power on earth can bind on them an ecclesiastical domination , if they do not yield themselves the willing subjects of religious despotism , by departing from the true princip les of religious liberty . " It is said , also , this proceeding of the Pope is an invasion of the Queen ' s supremacy , and thus loval fee' -ines of the people are called fourth to
declare their affectionate attachment to the rule of their sovereign . But this power , called the Queen ' s supremacy , is not truly the supremacy of the Queen . It is the power of the State , civil and spiritual , over the religion of the people . The Queen , in ecclesiastical as well as political affairs , must be guided by her council and the enactments of her parliament . This supremacy oft he State was established when all the people of England were supposed to be of one religion , and those who held power in the government were compelled to declare themselves of that same religion ; but since the test laws against the admission of Dissenters , and the penal Jaws against Roman Catholics , have been repealed , both * he Parliament and the Council may be mixed
todies of every religious denomination . I ask , then , can a church pretend to possess even a fragment of security for religious liberty , which is subject to be ruled by state authorities constituted as J have described ? " Whilst I protest against any acknowledgment of the authority of the Pope over the people of these realms , unless as regards the voluntary submission of the Catholic community to his ecclesiastical rule , I protest also against a continuance of that power which the laws of England place in t he tand 3 of the State government over the doctrines and ordinances of the Church , and I call for their repeal . But it will be said ( and , I admit , truly ) , a
church supported by State funds ought to submit to State government . I cannot rebut this plea . I therefore claim the total extinction of this , system . I would desire to see the Church freed from State support and State domination . I would desire to see every man in these realms in a position to give free homage to his Creator in the manner his conscience directs—subject , as regards these matters , to no power of control , civil or ecclesiastical , to which he doe 3 not voluntarily submit , and subject , to no claim to pay , in any form , for the ministry or ordinances of any church with which he is not joined in communion .
" I should further remark that it cannot be de . Hied that the Prayer-book and ordinances of the Established Church retain many remnants of Popish doctrines and Popish ceremonies . If we desire to rescue our -Church from an affiliation with » he Iloman Catholic Church , why should not these blemishes be extracted , and the doctrines and rules of our Church made conformable to the true principles of Protestantism ? " I would say , then , to all sincere Protestants , — If you fear the aggressions of Popery , meet them bv the purification of your own Church ; make
provision , by your own donations , for your clergy ; abstract them from the contamination of Statepay ; and release the faith , ordinances , and patronage of your Church from all the evils au < l anomalies of State-rule . Let no penal or restrictive laws be enacted against any religious denomination , but make yourselves strong on the solid rock of reli gions liberty . Then you will be in the true Protestant position of taking the Scriptures as the sole rule of faith and conduct , casting aside all the dogmas of . fallible mortals , and rejecting all human supremacy over the consciences of men .
"I hope my constituents will feel that the opinions which I have now expressed are in perfect consistency with those I declared when the electors of Rochdale first did me the honour of electing me as their representative . By these principles I have been guided in my past parliamentary course , and by the same principles I shall be ruled in treating any proposition which may be made in Parliament on the subject of the present agitation . I wil consent to no laws restrictive of what I consider the just and equal rights of every religious community ; and I will not be a party to any attempt , if such be made , to divert the minds of the people from the united pursuit of measures of substantial utility and reform , by exciting their passions on the fanatic intolerance of religious contention . " 3 am , dear sir , yours faithfully , " William Shaeiux C&awpobd . "Crawfordsburn , December , U , 1850 . "

Christmas in the Fhozes Regions . —In 1841 , I , who am at home to write this , kept Christmassy with the South Polar expedition , consisting of the " Erebus" and " Terror , " and their crewa . In 1850 , some commemoration of Crhistmas may , perhaps , take place in the Frozen Regions—Heaven grant it ! It is not beyond hope!—and be held by the later crews of the same ships ; for they are the very same that have so long been missing , and that are painfully connected in the public mind with Pranklin ' s name . The Christmas day of 1811 was ushered in by one of those dense fogs so peculiar to very high latitndes . The two ships , beset in the heavy pack , or vast belt of ice , drifting on the confines of the Antartic-pole , alone broke the still ,
deep solitudo > of the wide scene of desolation . We managed to reserve for our Christmas dinner the usual old English fare , roast beef , wich roast goose , followed by the homely _ never to be forgotten plum pudding . Our ox and goose , it must be con Jessed , were not of English growth . They had never seen the old country , but drew their first breath on the fern-clad plateau of the Waimate , near the Bay of Islands , in Ifew Zealand . We had brought them thence , that they might be offered up a sacrifice to Christmas on the ice-girt sea of the Antarctic Circle . After divine service had been performed , we hoped for few other sigrna of the day ; Out all the amusements contemplated for the Christmas evening were reserved , not resig ned . On 2 Jew New Tear ' s Day we crossed the Antartic Circle , just 250 mileB from the margin of the pack , which .-was drifting with us from the southward . Both ships were made fast with ice anchors and hawsers
to a flow piece which formed a fender between them , admitting of free communication . On this piece of ice both ships' companies were actively employed on the 1 st day of the year , making preparation for ' ' seeing the old year out and the new one in . " A quadr aiigakw" space wag hewn out in the ir . c for a dance , having in the centre an elevated chair , carved out of the same substance . Adjacent to this crystal ball-room , another excavated square formed the refr eshment-room , having a table in the midst , also cut out of a block of ice , on which glasses , with bottles of wine and grog , were placed as refreshment for the dancers . This edifice of ice , all open as it was to the sky , and entered by descend in V a flight of steps cut in the . ice , received theap-Stioi of" Antai-tie Hotel , " and bora on a si gn-S d fixed to i pole , the words , " Pilgrims of the SaSSSi-lk "verse " M-Jg jf Science " Christmasnumber of Household »« £

'" " «? t Alban ' s , Monday . —The nomination '; of- 'the nanrtidites for the vacant seat in Parliament occasioned ' by the death of Mr . Raphael , the late member took p lace on that day . The candidates were esc orted to the hustings by their respective friends , and at eleven o ' olock the proceedings were opened by Mr . Blegg , the town clerk , reading the writ and the other formal doouments . Air . T . Hinder proposed , and Mr . T . Bowman seconded , the nomination of Mr . Jacob Bell . Mr . 3 . Scarancke proposed , and Mr . J . Bennett seconded , the nomination of Mr . Alderman and Sheriff Cardcn . The candidates then addressed the electors . Mr . Bell professed to be a Liberal Whig , and Alderman Cavden a Liberal Tory . At the conclusion a show of hands was taken , which was declared to be in favour of Alderman Carden , and a poll wa 3 demanded on behalf of Mr . Bell . . ¦ -
TnK roix .. The polling commenced at eight o ' clock on Tuesday , and progressed very languidly , the greater number of the electors keeping : back , apparently in expectation of some satisfactory determination ot thoT doubts . When four o'clock arrived , the Mayor declared the state of the poll as follows : ' Bell 276 Carden 1 * 7 Majority for Mr . Bell ... -129 The announcement was received with loud cheers by the friends of the successful candidate . Mr .
Bell stood forward to address the electors , but the uproar was so great that not a word he said could be heard , and at length he merely said that he thanked the electors for the honour they had done him in electing him their representative , and desisted from any further attempt to make a speech . Mr . Carden was received also with a good deal of noise and interruption . A vote of thanks was then proposed to the Mayor by Mr . Carden for his very impartial conduct during the election ; and that officer having returned thanks , the proceedings terminated .

Wages op Agricultural Labourers . — A correspondent of the Bucks Chronicle says : — " A universal complaint is spread throughout the whole of this parish ( Wendover ) , arising from the oppression of the farmers in reducing the wages of farm labourers to 7 s . per week , being equally as low as ihey were when wheat was selling at full 5 s . per quarter lower than at the present time . The la-Dourer , then gave 4 d . for the 41 b . loaf ; now he gives 5 Jd . for the same . Suppose the labourer has a wife and two children to support—and it is evident that the children can earn nothing , and when the wife has seen to the family her time is all taken up so that she has no advantage of the plait or lace must deduct
market—out of the 7 s . per week we Is . 6 d . for rent . Is . for fuel , and 6 d . for soap , thus reducing the sum to 4 s . per week , being just Is . per head for food per week , which barely supplies l § lb . of bread a day , without anything to eat with it . Now , I would appeal to any farmer in the ptrisb , and ask if this is the way to improve the labouring classes ? Or , do they think that labour can be performed properly with this pittance ? and if it could , would it not be the means of bringing universal sickness throughout the parish , and thereby raise the poor rates so high that it might embarrass the parish ? It was generally admitted , by good authority , that the low diet of the poor people brought on much sickness . In 1846 the bread was at such a high price that the poor could
notfeta sufficiency to eat ; and had these prices continued much longer the number of paupers would have so much increased that the farmers would have had as much to pay for poor rates as they obtained above the average price for their wheat . Again , I would ask the farmers whether they have begun at the right place in reducing the wages of the labourer ? Many of the farmers employ only two labourers ; so that the saving is about 2 a . per week . Is not the old adage cariied out here— ' The weakest go to the wall . ? ' Are there not many other sources to which the farmers might apply first with greater economy ? Would not a better system of husbandry than that which is now used increase the amount of labour—keeping more stock , laying aside hunting and sporting , which only tends to impoverish the country as well
themgelves—better remunerate the farmers ? I must conclude with the remark , that the farmers have come to the present conclusion without considering what they were about , and thereby , began in the wrong place . " " The editor adds— "In allusion to the reduction of wages by the farmers , we may mention that at the last county court at Hnngerford , before Mr . J . B . Parry , Q . C ., on the 12 th inst ., it was proved that in the adjoining parishes the wages of labourers had been reduced to 6 s .. This created considerable surprise in the court ; and in one case the learned judge refused to make any order for present payment by a farm labourer , stating that it must be impossible out of . such a sum , after deducting house rent , for him to pay anything towards old debts , and made an order for the payment of 5 a . per quarter—the first payment to 'commence at March next . "
The Nottimghaushire Farmers . —A society formed of the farmers of Nottinghamshire have published an address , signed by 1 , 200 " practical men , " in which they enter into a statement of their reason for uniting . On the occasion of Mr . Bromley ' s resignation of the seat for South Nottinghamshire , they put forward Mr . Barrow , a candidate of their own , in opposition to Lord Newark , the nominee of the landlords . " We complain , " they say , " that we have neither free trade nor protection—we are hampered with high rents , high taxes , direct and indirect , which increase the price of labour and of every article of consumption , and broadly state . the imnnssibilitv of long contending against the
foreigner , who has greatly the advantage of us in all these respects . It is a question which the result alone can settle . " It is said that the aristocracyof the . county are combing to crush this attempt at independence on the part of the occupiers by forcing them , under penalty of ejectment from their farms , to vote for the aristooratical candidate . The friends of both parties are seeking to bring about a compromise . It is suggested that if Mr . Barrow be returned for South Nottinghamshire without further opposition , Lord Newark will be considered as " entitled" to the vacant seat in North Notts , to be created by the retirement of Mr . Houldsworth .

The following , appeared in our second edition oflastvreek : — — THE WEAVERS' STRIKE AT BINGLEY .,-Many of the readers of the Northern Star will be aware that the weavers in the employment of Messrs . Jones , Sharp , and Sons , of Albion and Prospect Mills , Bingley , ( amounting to 250 ) , struok work oft Wednesday , the 30 th of October , in consequence of their employers wanting them to attend to two looms in place of one ; and further reducing their wages from fivepence to twopence per piece . After a nrotracted struggle of nearly seven weeks , __
the employers have at length yielded to the demands of the operatives . Many public meetings have been held during the interval , two or three at the request of Messrs . Sharp , to see if they could not compromise the matter with the operatives ; however , on Monday forenoon , December 15 , when the operatives had assembled in the Odd Fellows Hall , to receive their wages from the committee who had managed the strike , Messrs . A . and W . Sharp attended , and tried to induce the operatives to resume their work , by granting a portion of their demands . -
Mr . James Leach was appointed to take the chair , and he requested the operatives not to come to any hasty decision , nor to be content with a half victory " when a complete one was just within their grasp . After a stormy discussion , Messrs . Sharp at last stated , they were willing to grant all that the operatives wanted , but added , " we would have seen yeuin the moon before we gave it , if you had not compelled us . " Accordingly the operatives who had not already got work elsewhere , went to their old places , on Monday afternoon . As there wan £ 22 in the hands of the committee , and as Mr . W . Anderton , and other large manufacturers , bad given notioe of a reduction , a public meeting was held in the Odd Fellows Hall , on Tuesday evening , to consider what
was to be done with the surplus money , and what course was to be pursued with respect to Mr . Anderton . The room , which is a very large one , was crowded in every part . Mr JoHN Green was called to the chair , and made a short introductory speech , congratulating the operatives on the viotory they had gained . Mr . E . B . Wildstan moved the first resolution , thanking the clergy , gentry , ' and shopkeopers , for the liberal support they had given in the past struggle . Mr . John Robinson seconded it . The resolution was tupported by Mr . Thomas Holt , in an able speech . He understood some of the manufacturers were going to discharge all their
male weavers ; if they did so , and the women were united , the women themselvea would be too strong for them . ¦ Married women had no business to be at the mill at all , and he doubted not but that they could find better work for the single ones at home . They must trust to themselves and help themselves . The clergy , < fec , of the neighbourhood had supp orted them , but they must now , when they had the chance , make such provisions that when another struggle came they , could altogether support themselves . The working classes were too apt to desert their leaders , but he hoped that if any of the leaders of this strike were persecuted , their fellows would manfully support them .
Mr . John Smith moved the second resolution , thanking the working classes for their generous support . He said the subscriptions from different parts of the country had rapidly increased since the commencement . The subscriptions in the last week were more than any they had had before . He felt confident that the country was at last awakened to a eonsoiousness of its duties , and determined to nobly assist those who demanded their just remuneration for their labour . Mr . Wm . Emmott seconded the resolution . Several of Mr . Anderton ' B weavers then gave an account of an interview they had with , him concerning bis proposed reduction . Short addresses were delivered by Mr . John Robinson and Mr . Joseph Wood .
A deputation , consisting of the Chairman and Mr . John Smith , was ordered to wait upon Mr . Anderton again . . The £ 22 remaining in the hands of the Committee was ordered to be used in establishing a local union , and in assisting in Mr . Anderton ' s weavers , should a strike be necessary . After votes of thanks to the Chairman and the Committee , the meeting separated .

¦ »' CHARGE OF CRUELTY AGAINST Mr . SLOANE , THE SPECIAL PLEADER . At the Guildhall Police Court , on Friday , Mr . G . Sloane , again appeared ] before Mr . Alderman Humphrey , to answer the charge of cruelly ill-using his servant girl , Jane Willbred . Mrs . Sloane was not present , her friends having advised her to meet the charge at the Old Bailey . Jane Wjxbred , was then called in , and appeared a little better . She said—Mr . Sloane beat me at various times for wearing my shift sleeves oh my shoulders . Mrs . Sloane beat me for tlie same thing . There was meat always cooked on Sunday , but I had none of it . When my mistress could not make me eat my own dirt my master beat me until he made me to do it . ( Sensation . ) There was no water closet or privy in the chambers . Mrs . Sloane and the young lady made use of the chamber po t . I also made use of the pot . I was not allowed to use it more than once a day . If I used it at night
Mrs . Sloane said she would make me eat it , and tried to do so . They put the dirt on a turnip and forced it down my throat on an iron spoon . My master was present . Sometimes I dirtied about the place when I could not get at the pot in the day time . Mr . Sloane was present when Mrs . Sloane attempted to put it in my mouth , but not when she first did so . Mr . Sloane stood behind me , and he beat me at that time with a shoe on my back , because I would not take it . ( A shudder ran through the auditors during the recital of these filthy and horrible details . ) It only happened once that Mr . Sloane beat me for that reason . Mrs . Sloane was present when Mr . Sloane beat me . Miss Duvaux , the young lady , was also present at the time when my dirt was forced into my mouth with the spoon . Miss Duvaux not being present the case was adjourned for a week , and Sloane was liberated on giving two sureties of £ 250 each , and himself in £ 500 , that ho will attend again on Friday next . On leaving the court , Sloane was pursued by a mob , and pelted with mud , until a policeman met him , who hurried him into a public house , and afterwards put him into a cab . On arriving at the Temple another mob was waiting for him , when finding his only safety in flight , Sloane ordered the cab to be driven across Waterloo Bridge , and he ultimately found shelter at the railway station .

THE COLOSSEUM ; This magnificent establishment , . whose varied attractions have made it for many years past one of the favourite places of resort for strangers , has recently undergone some repairs and restorations prior to its re-opening to the public for the holidays . The general character of the amusements is as before . There are the splendid conservatories , the galleries of sculpture , the ascending room , the aviary , the picturesque views and water-falls , the out-of-doors promenade , and all the minor attractions of the place , so familiar to the visitors , and which form so agreeable an addition to that grand
feature of the exhibition , the stupendous panoramas . It was for the display of such pictures that the Colosseum was originally designed and erected by Mr . Homer , whose magnificent panorama of London , the first and the greatest thing of the kind ever attempted , so long formed one of the marvels of the metropolis it represented . Then came tbe panorama of Paris , scarcely inferior to the first in point of interest , and as an artistic work m many respects more remarkable . The proprietors have now added another panorama , and there was , on Monday evening , a private view of this work , prior to its being thrown open to the public on the / jreat annual festival of holiday-makers and London sightseers . Tuis new panorama represents the Lake of
Thun , in the Bernese-oberland , about seventeen miles from Berne . The painting covers the whola space formerly occupied by the Panorama of London and Paris , so that there is ample field for the display of the wonders of mountain , ravine , and lake , in all their Dative grandeur . The view is taken from a good point of view to the northward of the town of Thun . Tho town itself is seen beneath , with its quaint old buildings , and picturesque cottages are scattered here and there throughout the landscape . The Lake of Thun , dotted with the boats of the peasantry , and traversed by the traffic steamers , of course , forms a conspicuous obiect in the panorama ; and the scene
is walled in , as it were , from side to side , by magnificent mountains , towering in the distance till their undefined outlines lose themselves in the clouds and mist . The view embraces some of the objects most familiar to travellers , such as Westerhorn , Finster Aarboru , the Jiingfrau , Interlachen , and so forth . The panorama is painted in " tempera , " by which the artists ( Danson and Son ) gain the advantage of having their picture as well seen by artificial as by natural light , though they lose somewhat in the vividness and contrast of colour . We have no doubt that this panorama will not only find many visitors at the Christmas season , but also prove a permanent attraction .
