The Daily Ni-ics announces the immediate prospect of " a remedy to the fallacious policy pursued by her Majesty's Government in permitting the

greater portion of steam-navigation with the Past to be monopolized by one company." " Information has been received at the various public offices of the formation of a new company, competed of mercantile men of known character and stability, who will be ready to place vessels of a superior order and power upon the greater portion of the line at a very early period; and in the new company, we have reason to believe,. care will be taken' that °Very commercial ititereit, both in this country, in India, Ceylon, the Mauritius, China, and Australia, will be fully re- presented.

The Indier, Dutch paper, states that several members of the Lower Chamber of the Netherlands have formed themselves into an association to abolish slavery in the Netherlands Indies, East and West.

An address has been presented to the Bishop of London, signed by a large number of Mr. Bennett's congregation, some parishioners and some non-parishioners, entreating the.13ishep to reconsider his decision respect- ing Mr. Bennett'e offer of resignation. The. Bishop in his answer stated that he is under the painful necessity' of adhering to that decision.—Tiniesi {The Globe mentions that the Bishop was so deeply affected at the inter- view with the parishioners that he "burst into 'tears.") Cardinal Wiseman has been -comforted and abetted by a Catholic ad- dress of felicitation' on account of the Papal measures, of which he is understood to have been the most vigorous promoter. " Last Saturday Morning)", reports the .rowing CAronwl," about thirty English' Catholic noblemen and gentlemen assembled at the episcopal residence in Golden,. Square, 'for the purpose of presenting to Cardinal Wiseman an address which during the last fortnight has been in circulation, and has obtained the signatures of the principal Catholic families of 'England. Amon those present were Lord l'etre and Lord Dormer, the Honourable T. Stonor, the Honourable Charles Langdale Sir Robert Throckmorton, Bart., Robert Gerard, Esq., Edmund Jerningham, Esq., C. de in Barre Bodenham, Esq."

As soon as the Cardinal appeared, Lord Petre advanced and read the address, as follows- ' May it please your Eminence—The arrival amongst us of your Emi- nence, bearing in your own person a distinguished proof of the paternal kindness of the Holy Father for this portion of his flock, and charged with the highest place in that Catholic hierarchy the restoration of which we Most gratefully welcome, aflbrds of itself a sufficient occasion for us to offer - to your Eminence the most respectful and most affectionate assurances of the gratitude we feel for the part which your Eminence has taken in this great work, and of the gratification with which we hail your return amongst us. "An additional motive for thus publicly testifying these feelings is found' in the misrepresentations that have prevailed, and in the unprovoked insults which have been offered to our Holy Father, and to your Eminence, on this to us most auspicious event "Your Eminence has nobly expressed your desire to stand between the Holy Father and the vituperation cast upon his act. In this generous rivalry we cannot consent to be omitted. We do not claim to share in the merit of reconstructing the Catholic hierarchy, but we will not forego our right to share in all the odium which has been excited by it.

" It is our ardent wish that our Holy Father, Pope Pius the Ninth, should be assured of thejleartfelt gratitude which we feel towards him for the great bleating which he has bestowed upon us, in establishing' the hierarchy in our beloved country. We therefore beg your Eminence to make known our sentiments to his Holine,s, and to assure him, whilst as British subjects we yield to none in loyalty and attachment to our Sovereign, that as English- men we will assert our right to the free exercise of our religion, and that as.

aervedly conferred npon you, and that yen may long continue togooern Trout

To this address the Cardinal answered—

"My Lords and Gentlemen—I cannot adequately express the feelings of gratification with which I receive this address of congratulation on the este-

hlistmient of our hierarchy. Were it an expression only M kindness and-at-

taeliment towards myself, I might be flattered by the: public manifestation

in each district, and that stability of place and that parochial status secured after an interval of nine days.

Under these inneumstaneesr Sir GeorgeiGreyWas of opinion "that i-judi- eial investigation of this lamentable occurrenee would not be attended with say satisfactory result." He added, that the assistance of the-Police had been offered to Messrs. Barclay and Perkins ;.but " the investigation" made by that firm had " not led to the discovery of the originators of the attack, nor even to that of the principal actors in the eame." This communication from the Horne Office, of the .24th September, was promptly taken up by Lord Palmerston on the 30th September, and was re- ceived by Baron Keller on the 1st October. On the 3d October, Baron Keller wrote to Lord 'Palmerston stating his regret to observe in the. despatch of the Home Office, "first, an endeavour to attach a secondary importance to that occurrence; and, secondly, a deficiency of ready and earnest zeal which the occasion seemed to demand." Evidently advised on our law, he treated the legal objectiona raised as sophistication. "The attack on General llaynau wae aecompanied bra riot, .and directed against on .officer holding high rank in the service of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria." `. The . disturbance of the public tranquillity,' and the "existing friendly-relations with the Austrian Cabinet," should be a sufficient reason to.induce the British Go- vernment to . assert. its authority and make good its rights by instituting a judic.alinqttiry. " When General •Haynau declined bringing an accusation, he acted upon the pre- sumption that the British .Government would know bow to males itself respected. Disgustedwith-the-intanioue proceeding, he- thought he might be spared the annoy- alnico/ amemonahapplication. in the strictest-legal point of view, the appearance of the person wronged is not. indispensable. When: iiir,Goosge Grey observes that the Police were not witnesses of what took place in the interior of the brewery, he forgets that they were in the presence of the mob in the street before the house in which the General had sought 'refuge, and that it-is almost impossible to suppose that the inhabitants of that and other houses in the neighbourhood of the brewery shouldmot havereewnired one or ether of the ringleaders. Those circumstances might,have.affmtled,safficient.materials to the Solicztorof the Treasury, or to any other legal authority, to procure the necessary proofs for' bringing forward an indict- ment ; and with this view, the undersigned, in his official °Ube 5th September, pointed datlim indubitable circumstances of "foreign instigation, which had its seat in‘the estfiblishmentiMeltOf Bcarthsymnd Perkins." Messrs. Barclay did not maintain that "they de mot icnow any-of -the sway ones," hut simply thatahey have '" not eueoeeded in discovering the ins6gators of the outrage, or even the.priareipal actors in it" : such a'result did-but afford " undoubted proof-of-the-disinclination of Messrs. Barclay and Perkins:' -"It 'does- notaippear," heremarked, with ironical -severity, "-that every.means have been resorted to or -a/reamed desire manifestedito detect the guilty. ; and therefore the assertion-of: Sir .George. rey is correct, that, under such,eircumetauees, a Judicial investigation would in all probability not lead to -any satisfactory result." However, another .request was :made that Sir George Grey be:urges:Ito see that steps he taken to procure the de- sired end.

lathe time Lorth-Palmerston received this despatch, 'ho 'was -in possession of a further note from Mr. Under-Secretary Waddington, dated the 1st Octo- ber. His Lordship forwarded this note on the Sth 'October. 'Baron-Keller replied next day, on the 9th,.-briefiy emnarking on the "inexplicable delay" impeded the correspondence.; and pressing his original application. The Baron's- letter of the 9th-October, and seemingly that of the 3d also,

were expedited to the Houle-Office on the 17th of that month. The Home department mere •stung by its contents to answer with .celerity..; for. on the 22d hir. Under;Secretary 'Waddington expressed to Lord Palmerston the great regret Sir George Grey felt that Baron Koller should -think the outrage unimportant or unworthy of the gravest treatment : Sir George had from the first been most anxious that the tyParties -should he discovered and hrouaht to punishment. In Baron iler's first Jades he had treated the matter aria personal attack :on General .11aynau, and Sir George had .ex- plained "the circumstances which stooddarthe way of the adoption of,vio- lent [summary ?j measures, and the .eriminal.prosecution." But in Baron Koller's communication of the 3d October, -"the matter is placed in a dif- ferent point 'of view "—that of a " 'without referencia to ,the attack on General Haynan." Sir George Grey was.-of opinion, that in this point of view the ease.could.notbe brought before:a.legal tribunal "-with that MHO- ranee of eueeess necessary in the .ease.of_arrovernment prosecution." " Irrespective of the difficulties stated in-my former letters of satisfactorily iden- tifying any.indivielord, it is much to be doubted whether it would be possible to pro-. cure witnesses to-prove that the tumult bore the character of a 'riot,' in the legal sense of the word; as it would be necessary to establish the fact that the tumult and-disorder were of so dangerous .a character- as to cause public fear. andierror. Muth as Sir George Grey regrets that from the causes assigned the authors of the insults -offered to,'Genoiel Maynau escape•with irapunitythe is still of opinion that it would be•iery injurious for the Crown to institute a criminffinrosectitiouatt a case of this mature without a strong assurance of -success."

This important summary of the determination and justification of the

Home Office was forwarded by the Foreign Office -to Boron -Koller almost within the week of its reecipt—on the 28th October ; sand it seems to have been regarded as final by.the Austrian Government._ On the 27th November, Prime Schwarzenberg forwarded to Baron Koller a despatch which recapitu- lated with 'singular -brevity and simplicity-the points madeout by the de- s ,tehee-of each Government, finishing with the expression .of regret by the Boitieh Government that the originators of the outrage should escape the punishment they had,deserved. Prance Sehwartenberg declares- " The Austrian Government fully shares this regret; for it is easily understood that such a.result„ w,hatever mighthe the causes of tt„. is. far from responding to its just .ex.pcctations. From the repeated explanations of the British Government, it remains only for-us to regard as terminated a transaction which threatened to run into an entilms,fruitlesspolentic:" 'Me-concludes his despatch with-this significantilint- d`alovrover, as the British Government 'osold net decide upon adopting judicial measures on an attack which placed the life of an Austrian subject in danger, we ,sennatdo otherwise than reserve-to-ourselves the rightto consider, -in a similar case, 'whether we should or ehould not act reciprocally towards British guiles& in Austria."

-wit seems from the Austrian notes that General Haynau was "accompanied by his two Adjutants," and not, as the English reporters statedatthe time, by " an Aide- dn-eamp sir Adjutant and an Rgelish guide."

A Newcastle paper gives the following facts illustrative of the spread of in- tellectual culture among a large class of the population of -its district. A bookseller recently had upon his stall ten copies of Emerson's work on Flux.- ions, all of which he sold at 75. W. a copy to pitmen. He said they were by-far his 'best customers, and that a standard mathematical work never lay long on his stall, being secured by them as . a prize. On a subsequent day, at the same stall, there were three men ; one bought a work on algebra, an- other requested a Greek delectus, the third was perusing a Spanish grammar. These men were all hewers The Great Britain 'steam-ship has at length been sold by the directors of the Great Western Steam-ship Company, to Mr. Patterson, the eminent ship- builder of Bristol, for the sum of 18,0001., being about the seventh part of her original east. Mr. Patterson is now building in the dock in which the Great Britain Was built, a steam-ship for the Royal West India Mail-packet Company, and she will bo six feet longer -than the• Great Britain.

The electric telegraph is now employed in Americato -give notice of ap- proaohing storms. " For example, the telegraph at 'Chicago and Toledo notifies ship-masters at Cleveland and Buffalo, and also en Lake Ontario, of the approach of a North-west storm. The result is practically of great im- portance. A hurricane storm traverses the atmosphere at the rate of a car- rier-pigeon, namely, sixty miles an hour. A vessel in the port of New York, about to sail for New Orleans, may be telegraphed, twent 'hours in advance, that a South-weet storm is advancing on the coast from ttie Gulf of Mexico. We are only on the threshold of the real substantial advantages which may be rendered by the electric telegraph. In :Great Britain and Ireland the ad- vautages to the *hipping interest by the announcement of au appr storm would be incalculable, by,preventing them leaving safe harbours un after ithad.passed,ar by signals on various parts of the coast, directing them to take.shelter at the nearest port."

A .boat'a crew of the Queen's steamer Dee, employed at the Cape of Good Hope station, have encountered a sad disaster. The news comes from 14. James Jones, the second master, who had command of the boat. "I was going into-the river Quilimaue from the Pantaloon, (10,) Commander Parker, where I' had been for provisions in one of the Dee's cutters, when. jolt as we were erasing the bar a heavy breaker -ran in over the stern, filled and capsized the boat in the-middle of the surf ; and as it was just dusk they could not see 1113 from-the ship, so we -were drifting about the breakers all night, cling- ing to the boat. In the morning eve 'drifted up the river, and notiar from the ship ; but as only our heads were above water, they could -net see us, although looking out for us: at last we drove ashore on.a seind-hault, where we got out more dead than alive, after having been in the water thirty- four hours without anything to eat or drink. The next day, -about two o'clock, the ship sent a boat and picked us up. But I have not told the worst.; for .out of six-men-and three officers who were in the boat, there are only myself and four others saved. The master's assistant (Mr. Dyer) and three men were washed off the boat by the surf. Poor Dyer got hold of my foot and took me down a good way with him : I tried to swim up -withhint, but found I toulthnot ; so I was compelled to kiok him clear of myself, and maidenly just get hold of the boat then."
