( Lund cheers . ) The Pope presides at the Vatican , not as a . minister of religion , oat as a SKClacle of w « r 3 dly pouiu . lie has converted the Church of Chrish b bis earthly vanities imo a i ; en af tnicves . Father Gavazzi went « u to illustrate the sbases of Popery , by tracing many of its supsrstilioas to lagantsm . Under the it-man Emperors sad C' jnsuls , be said , we were the lords of the m-li , under the Pope we are its slaves . ( Cheurs ) T he Pope , by cauMb- > him-elf to be styled f oiitifix JIasuau 3 , destioyed thai equality which Clirist

      e ta :. j ; sued among bis disciples . He claims jurisdiction uver the universal C'lurch— -he interprets Seriji'ure after his otra fashion—he is ibfallible ? W ajLeolhc Tenth , the atheist , infallible ? Was A Jesasner the Sixth , although guilty « f incest , infaihtte ? \ V . s Joi . n ihe Twenty-fourth , although waricted of revolting crimes , infallible ? Is Fio . Noao , that bombardier of his people , infallible ? foul yet thej are all sautusi-ai . 1 am « -iiiing to be feuds wiiii the whole world—even to embrace the mrderer ut my nrother ; but with the Jesuits—the sscrei pjiii-e and props of the Papacy—1 will keep no ams . There are uo demons on earth worse than jaa so-styled Company of Jesus-for the followers of iijwa there must be uo piiy , no mercy . ( Great dccrinif . ) These have invented the infallibility of

      tie Pope . Gad alone is iutaiJible ; and yer , sav cardinals and priests , led the Word of God go but sot so the dieinm of the Pope . This flagrant usurpation of the Pope perfectly resembles the Devil ; with iiiis qualificauon , however , that wherea > Luciier said , " I will be , " the Pope says , " 1 am- " sqaal to God . ( C . eers . ) The one was the sin cf thought , an ambitious hope—the other is an sctaai siu ol fact .

To onr heavenly Father , 53 represented in the Roman Calholw Eucharist , tse ' orliever is required to bow with one knee Oil the frouud ; but , to ibe Pope , that humble servant of tiesenrauts of God as he styles himself-we must tow tbrfe times on both inees . It is a privilce B ^ h couted ed to a few favoured on « = s lo address him erect .

      THE LATE MURDEROUS ATTEMPT AT TOTTEN HAM . On Saturday last an ioquest was held before Mr W . Baker , one of the coroners for Middlesex , before a respectable jury , at the White Uarr Inn , lottcnham , touching the suicide of Mr . CarlCnghlo , aged 38 , . r German merchant , whose muraerous altcmpi on the lives of Mrs . ««< l -Miss . Bra nd , and whose subsequent self-Me * truction we detailed in our second edition last week . Mr . Willhs IIexhy Braso , the husband and father of the wourniesi ladies , said—lam a " clerk at a banker ' s in the City .

He was in the habit of leaving foi a short time and thon returning . He was very stranjie iu Ms habits , and . about a month after he had been with us he suddenly left , ami we cmild hear no tiding * of him Knowing that he had no fr ends , in England , and thinking lie miglit have fallen intt ttatf hands , I made an application io the L « r < i Afayor , at the Maiision Hous * , witk a view of » etting his descrij . tion and mysterious disappearance made known . He came back in the course of three w- eks , an . i to show is state of mind I will reiid an extract of a latter which I received from him at

      Sheffield , dated 13 th April : — "Wherever I go you strike me incognito . You drive me from toun to town , and you follow , me through England , an' * force me to spend my mbnuy . " VVo had been on the beet of terms , mid when lie came back and was shown the letter he could scarcely believe that hicould have penned such .-in ejiistle . Ue theii liveu sit Seyde ' s ( German ) Hotel , in Finsbury-sqiiaic , but he often visited my house , and 1 may say that a more religious and moral man never livtd . I frequently noticed his inel .

      b : en advised to return to hi .- native country , nun arr . uigemenls were marie for th « ladies to see him off by steam boat on the following M ' eilnfsday m > rning ; but on going to the wharf , I found tiis . 1 t he had not been at the hotel sill night , and nothing was known as to where he had gone , although ije had Jpft his luggage behind . On Tuesday l ;» si he returned to The hotel , and on Wednesday morainsr , about llo ' clcck , hecame down to my house He left early in the afternoon and returned to the « or . el , where lie dined . lie suddenly left th « dinner table , ran up stairs to his bed-room , and in a few minutes ho hastened back to Tottenham . He came to the front gate of my cottage , and seemed quite agitated . Aly daughter ' s first impulse was to shut the door , but he got to it before she could close if . lie gstiil to her twice , " Aliss Brand , ar « you alone ? " She replied that ber mother was in an adjoining room . lie then rushed at her and stabbed lier .

      Mr . DRAM ) stated that tiece .-ised had paid particular attentiou to his daughter , and wa- heraccrpied suitor . They were engaged in marriage , and he had expressed no objection to it if this'deceased secured him . * -elf in a regular and certain way of business . They ha' 5 neverquarrelleil . II « Jiad no duubt tiiat the deceased dt'atroycil huusvlf &ui stabbed Mrs . and Miss Brand while m an unsound state of mind . Mr . Wit . Exan , the station mister of the Tottenham station of the Eastern Cuuiaies Railway , . ^ latcd that at twenty-two imnuti-s to eight o ' clock on Wednesday evening hi * attention was called to Mr . Brand ' s cottage by hearing ; that bis wife and daughter had been stabbed by some mail who was in the house . He w « it in and saw tiie deceased crouched down in a corner of the washbouse . Blood

      was flowing from his chest . He was n .= t quite dead . His head rested oh his knees , ami after giving two or three gasps lie expired . The da ^ cr he stabbed himself with was found close to the body . Mr . J . Glikk , surgeon , of Tuttcnlmui , deposed to being called to the deceased and Miss ami Mrs . Brand on Wednesday evening . Pound tiie deceased dead . There were three wounds in the region of the stomach , and two iu the region of the heart . There was a ' so a cut ou tliu side , anil on thethi / jb . —Coroner : Could the deceased have inflicted those injuriei on himself ? Witness : 1 saw nothing to lead me to suppose that they hmi not been done by himself ; and , judging fV « -m his past conduct , and the nets we are inquiriiijj into , 1 should say that he was of unsound mind . Mr .- » . Brand was stabbed in the upper part of the left fide , and Miss Brand in the right breast . One of her left hand fingers was cut , as if by a sharp instrument drawn throu-h it . —By a Juror : It is ceriuudv not impossible that the deceased could have inflicted the

      wounds himself . The Coroner then said , the inquiry had better be adjourned . It was possible , ' perhaps , that the females might have inflicted the ii > jurie 3 <> n the de ceased in self-defence , hut certainly rery improbable ; besides , it would tend to remove any reports that might be ' raised prejudicial to the ladies . The proceedings were accordingly adjourned .

      THE EMIG 1 UNT IS NEW YORK . The following valuable document , containing directions for immigrants into Hew York , has lately been published in that city . It is dated " Office oi the Co . 'nmissioiieM of Emigrants-of'the-State '* -of New York , New Cityhall , Chambera-streef ., New York , Aa-just , 1851 , " and signed " Gulian C ;\ evpknek , President of the Commissioners of Einigra liony New York " : — " Passengers : irriving at the port of New York with the intention of proceeding to the interior should make their stay in the city as short . as- po--sii » l » , in order to savemoney . It will generally not be necessary for them to go to any hotel or inn , I'ut the passage-tickets to the interior can b < - bought immediately and the bagga » e beat onc < -

      removed from the ship to thesteainbo . it , tow-bout or railroad , some one of which Starts every <•»} throughout tbo year . This course saves not onl . i much nioney for board , lodging , and carting , l »» ¦ ilso prevents many occasions for fraud . If passengers / roto ' an inji i > r boarding-house , they shonlo seo at once whether a list of prices for board and lodging is posted up for their inspection , as is required by law . ¦ Ifever employ a cart that has ne number painted on it , and be careful to note down the number . Always make a bargain for ' -the ( nice to be paid before engaging a cart to can ** , your baggage . Tho price allowed' by law for n >' .-. ut lo-. i'i iu > y distance not over half a mile is 33 c , ; ind for each additional halt mile one-third move . Among the impositions practised on emigrant

      passengers none is nvre common tlmn an ovcrchnrtf ' m ihe rates of passage to the ' interior , agftlDSt I ' liieh there is no protection , except by a close attention to the'following remarks ,.-mil by iiisistin on a Ktrict adherence on the part offorwnrdera to t < e scale < 'f priues established by the mayor <•( tins city of New York and the Commissioners of Emigration , which will be found ' below . I' / iere .-ire two principal routes to the i-teHoi f om New York ; ono is by way of Albany and Buffalo , or by the New "York and Erie Ruil > -n ; ul . Tht * passage from New York to Albany costs fiotn 25 c . to 50 c . ( Hiilf a dollar ) . From Albany there . ue two mortes of conveyance to Buff . lo—ono by canal . ' ¦ fhicli takes from seven to ten days , at 1 J dollars the other by railroad ,-going through in thirty-six f

      li'Uis , at 4 dollars ; anil no higher prices should lie " paid . The route to ihe south and west ia by way <>) ' Pnil- 'irte-Jphinatid Pittsburg . Tbe passage , from New York lo Philadelphia is 1 dollar 50 c , and from there t <> Pushing 3 dollars to 5 dollars , making froniNaw York to Pittsburj ; from 4 dollars 50 o . to 6 < i < . li : ir 8 50 c . There is also a route to Pittsbur /> by way of Alb « ny in the summer season , which will cost 5 dollars 50 o . On all ; these routes passengers have to find their own provisions , and , consequently , tlte tlifiVrrnce in the cost' between travelling by < ---inal and railroad J 3 not as great as it * appear *' at firsD . as the passengers by canal have to pay for a week ' s provMons more . than , tliose travelling by i-ailroafl , besides losing time and being longer expo .-ed to fr ; iud . Passengers areadvised in no event

      t <» . eng-iire their passage to distant small places that do not lie on the miviu routo , but only to engage to tt .-e nearest main station , and ft-om there to make a ifcw engagement to their final place of destination . If not differently advised by the Emigration Society , and in . ill ca ^ es when passengers ' hare not been able to cot . suIt these societies , they should never engage passage further th n Buffalo or Pitts-) urg , and tlu » re tnaivo a new contract . Otherwise , their passage-ticket * , though paid for , may prove •» nnd for notliin ^ . Passengers are cautioned that i » a » ga « e ia vwy i-ften stolen , am ) the owners should always keep an « ye upon their effect * , and not all w tiiem . sejves to lie enticed or bullied into giving tiie transportation of them to irresponsible people , ov aoing intolioarding-houses or forwarding offices not f their

      o own fri-e selection . Emigrants thoul < l always decide , immediately iipon their arrival , what they will do hfifwc they spend their small remaining means in the boarding-house , and they should generally proceed at once on their journey while they have the means . On tfnuir arrival here they should not give ear ro any representations nor enter into any engagements without obtaining the advice and counsel c >; either the Commissioners of Emigration , or the Emigrant Society of the nation to which tney boionsr . or its Consul ; and in inquiring for t . h « o £ Bce of tiie society , or Gonsiil , or the Commissiouers , they should bo careful not to be carried to the wrong place . There aye many individuals sufficiently unscrupulous intentionally to mislead the stranger . If the latter , for instance .

      inquire after tiie .-igcncy of the German Society , or the Irish Emigrant Society , tho person applied to will say that he is the * agent , or that he will take the stranger to the office of the German Society ; but , instead of doing so , wiil take him to a place where he is almost sure to be defrauded . As a general rule , if ' the emigrant is urged to t » ke passage , or has to pav tor " the advice he askR , he may take it for gran ted that he is not at the place where he wishes to be ; : > nd lio should bear in mind to look for the namo of tho persons or office he is in search of at tiie door of the house into which he is shown . AH the foreign Consuls and the emigrant societies , as well rs tlio Commissioners of Emijrration , have signs over the door 3 of their offices . Tne office of the German Society is No . 05 , Greenwich-street ; of the Irish Emigrant Society at No . 20 , Road-street ; and of the Commissioners of Emigration in one of the public edifices of the city , in the Park . N . B . The Commissioners

      earnestly advi .-e all emigrants who bring money with them to deposit is as soon as they arrive in the Emigrant Industrial Savings-bank , No . 51 , Chambers-street , opposite the Park . This institution was established by the Legislature for the express purpose _ of affordinsr to emigrants a . safe place ot deposit for their monies , which they can ilratr oat at pleasure , whenever they want it ; and , after a obtain period , with interest added to it . Never keep money about your person , or in your trunks . Evil persons may rob or commit worse ciiiiuS upon you . Take it-to the Savingsb . nk . Passengers'while travelling should always D 3 provided with small silver change , as they may otherwise be more easily cheated on the way . Never takn bank-notes , if you can avoid it , until you are able to judge of their value for yourselve 3 , as there are many counterffit and broken bank-notes in circulation , What is called a shilling in America is not more than sixpence sterling .
