Og We give te-day a report or description of the religious services and the sermon at St. Painiek’s Cathedral yesterday. We have also reports of the sermons deliverad at other principal churches of this city yesterday—comprising St. Paul’s Epis- copal Church in Broadway, the Unitarian Church of the Messiah in Broadway, and the Presbyterian Brick Church (Dr. Spring’s) in Park Row, which we will give hereafter. The next ‘Weekly Her- ald” will have beautiful engravings of each of these churches. Elections This Day.

We give in this day’s paper, in the proper place, all the returns received last evening, to the latest date, of the recent election in Pennsylvania. The character of these returns, from the first moment they began to come in, only tended to impress upon the impaftiatmimd ona conclusion, and that was, that we are on the eve of a most extraords nary re-action, which will most likely end in one of the most disastrous defeats to the whig party, and the prostration of the hopes of Mr. Clay, that ever took place in any former election in this country. However disagreeable it may be to the friends of Mr. Clay to be told these broad facts and inferen- ces, it is still far better to adhere to the truth and to the probabilities of this position, than to be buoyed up by fancies, imaginations, and unrealties. The election in Pennsylvania is a big, broad, pal- pable fact, throwing a new light on the character of this contest, and penetrating the elements that will decide it beyond any thing that we have yet seen, First, let us notice one particular feature. During the last few months, since the two candidates came before the people, it has been admitted by all parties that the democracy has been gradually gaining ground on the whig party, as compared with the results in 1840. It was very evident, from the movemeats of the people, that certain elements were at work favorable to the election of Mr. Polk and unfavorable to that of Mr. Clay. This puzzled the philosophers and perplexed the politicians amazingly. In reply to, and in explanation of all that was said with respect to this remarkable point, it was contended by the friends of Mr. Clay, that when he himself came before the people, he would be much stronger than the whig party, and go greatly ahead of his ticket. Here, for instance, is the opinion of the New York Tribune on that point, which may be considered the representative of the whig party:— Mr. Cray WILL RUN AHEAD oF THE Waic Ticxet.—We » have not adoubt that the Clay Electors will generally run far ahead of the whig tickets for any other office whatever. Not merely because the people admire and confide in Mr. Clay an of unequalled capacity and services, but be enemies are makiog capital forhim We never kuew a candidate for public stution— who had done the gen Sergio le service—assailed as = Clay is assailyd, without gaining him a great many votes. The wicked wanton’lie that charges him with instigat- ing the Cilley duel will help him, The foui charge of bargain, so long grounded on his private letters to Blair, and so triumphantly refuted by their publication will strengthen him. But above all, the nasty tittle-tattle of his malignant rsonal enemies must give him many yotes, ‘Think of bert Wicklitfe und John McCalla—men who for years have lived on their hatred of Mr. Clay—being called on to certify that he has been seen to play a social game amon; his neighbors and friends or heard to utter ¢ harsh word uader circumstances of great irritation—and all this paraded from one end ot the Wnion to the other, set off as malice always knows how to ane aud garnish i lumnies—we tell you, friends and foes ! if Mr. Clay is put down by such stuff as this, he will be the first man the American people ever suffered to be so defeated. But he cannot thus be put down! Come on, vipers! Now, what is the solution— what is the explana- tion—what do we learn from the first trial of Mr. Clay when he comes directly before the people in the great State of Pennsylvania? We have re. turns from eighteen counties of Pennsylvania, which if compared with the elections of 1640, give the following tables» — Table Of the Election Returns of Eighteen Cowmties of the October and November Elections in Pennsylvania, ion the popwlarity of Harrison over the Whig Party :— .

Thus we find, to our utter astonishment, that Mr. Clay runs behind his own ticket; and when we compare his popularity with that of General Harrison, as discovered in the same counti the Dem. loss i a0} ast elections of 1840, we find a difference of several thousands between the votes cast for them. The returns already received from Pennsylvania, em- bracing nearly twenty connties, therefore, de- velope the extraordinary fact, that Mr. Clay is weaker than the whig party, and that he will ran behind the whig ticket most probably throughout the State of Pennsylvania; and if he does so in Pennsylvania, what isto prevent the same result from being exhibited throughout the Union? If, therefore, from the facts received from Penn- sylvania, we are justified in drawing a rational conclusion, such as we indicate, what becomes of his chances in all the doubtful States, such as New Jersey, Georgia, Maryland, Ohio, New York, and perhaps others? Has Mr. Clay a better chance in these States of running ahead of the whig ticket than he has in Pennsylvania? We think it i6 very questionable, and considering the extraor- dioary results in the recent elections in all these States we have enumerated, we should not be at all surprised to find that the whole of them had gone fer Polk, or that if Mr. Clay got one of them, it would be more by accident than any thing else. With those views, therefore, growing out of the absolute returns trom Pennsylvania, how can the matter be explained? Mr. Clay has been put forth in a tariff State as the exclusive tariff candidate. He has been a distinguished statesman—well known to the whole country—far superior in men- tal and intellectual strength to his antagonist, Mr. Polk—and in every point of view but one, well qualified to stand at the helm of State. And yet with all those traits and features and circumstan- ces in his favor, Mr. Clay is weaker than his own party, and we are naturally led to ask, why is this? what isthe cause of thist We verily believe that the prostration of the whig party and the diminution of the vote to Mr. Clay have been caused by the mo- val influence of a certain portion of the people who stayed away from the polls “on account of the private moral character of Mr. Clay which has been involved in a Wariety of serious circumstances before the cowntry. He has been charged with being a duellist—with being a murderer—with being a blasphemer—with profanation of the Sab- bith-day—with instigating others to duelling—- with being the cause of the death of Cilley—with the odious and pernicious vice of gambling—with varieus other offences against private and social morality, all of which charges, although urged with unchristian rancor by his enemies, and jeered at by his friends, have never yet been sufficiently denied or set aside, and have therefore sunk deep into the minds of a certain influential pertion of the community. Here is the great cause of Mr. Clay’s defeat. lt is the moral element that has caused this extraordinary change and extraordina- ry result. On the otherhand, although attempts have been made upon the character of Mr. Polk, nothing tangible has ever been urged against his private morals and private life. But it is very evi- dent that the people of this country are determined to settle the great question, that without a blame- Jess life, the greatest statesmanship and the most brilliant talents cannot elevate any man in the affec- tions of the nation—that without private morality no politician can reach the highest honors in the peo- ple’s gift. This is a new principle infused into the political arena. Itis a new view of the claims of public men which has been taken in the present election. And this alone, altogether independent of local influences and local feelings, such as “ abo- Nittontsur* amd‘ natiyism,” would, in our opin- ion, as is now clearly apparent, nave been sufli. cient to defeat Mr. Clay. Thus standsthe matter. We wait with extreme impatience for the first returns from Ohio. Inthat State twenty votes only in each county, staying away from the polls on the whig side, or going over tothe abolitionists, will defeat Mr. Clay and give the vote of that great State to Polk. Mr. Clay’s prospects are clouded indeed—and his friends must be prepared to meet their defeat with decency and goodtemper. There is no use in cry- ing over broken crockery. Tue ‘“ Natives”—Tuerr Posrrion.— We con- ceive that the “ Native” party in this city is ina very critical position. It is very evident that the Whigs are abandoning their own tickets, and will, after this election, abandon their organization al- together. There will be a complete dissolution, withouta burial inthe Greenwood cemetery. Now the ** Natives” are just on the eve of another elec- tion, and unless they act with great prudence, die- cretion and foreaight, they may seriously endanger their future prospects. Let themstick to their own text and their own candidates, and have as littleto do with Clay or Polk as possible. If the ‘‘ Native” party should, in addition to carrying their own can- didates—as they can if they manage their cards well—endeavor also to throw all their force in fa- vor of Mr. Clay, in opposition to many of their own rank and file, they will create a fermentation in their party which will have a very bad tendency in the spring. Tue Bistz Procession To-Day.—The great Bible procession takes place to-day. We trust and hope that none of the opposite party, the demo- crats, or any of the clubs, will isterfere with it. The new party have a perfect right, as every body {nows, to walk in procession undisturbed. They may exhibit whatever emblems and banners they please. It they choose to exhibit the Pope in the attitude in which he is represented in Bunyan’s ‘Pilgrims Progress,” they have a perfect right to do so, whatever may be thought of their taste or spirit in so doing. It may offend the Catholics, but still this is a land of absolute freedom of opinion, and its expression so long as peaceful» cannot be prevented or interfered with. The ‘‘na- tives” have also their duties to perform. They must remember that the Bible is their emblem, and they must see to it that their entire conduct is in harmony with its precepts of peace and good order. If the democrats want to put the new party down—the only way open for them to do it isat the polls on Tuesday next. Van Buren’s Lerrsx.—Mr. Van Buren’s recent Jetter desiring his friends to vote for Polk, and ex- pressing surprise that some of them had threatened to withhold their support from him, is one of the weakest and silliest things which ever came from the distinguished statesman of Kinderhook. It is very evident that Mr. Van Buren finds it now ne- cessary to organize his friends and his party here into a clique, 80 as to be in readiness to catch hold of the influence that is to centre about Mr. Polk when he gets into the White House. In fact we should not be surprised to see four or five different cliques after the election—a Van Buren clique—a Calhoun clique—a Cass clique—a Tyler clique—and one er two other small-potato cliques—all contend- ing and fighting for the first places at the kitchen table of the White House. Naturatizep Voters.—-We understand that Chancellor Kent is about to deliver an opinion, de- charing that all naturalized voters must reside here a year after their admission to citizenship before they ean deposite their votes at the polls. A deci- sion of this kind, if in effect. now, would have a very material influence on the vote of this city. On the other hand, Benjamin F. Butler has pre- pared another opinion on the other side, justifying the practice which has prevailed heretotore. We have no legal opinion ourselves, and, in fact, don’t care much about it, one way or the other. Tur Exvection In Putuapgnrnta passed off very peacefully, as we are very happy to learn. We trust it will be so also here on Tuesday next. We have, indeed, every reason to anticipate that all will be quietness and good order. The Mayor has taken every precautionary measure 1n his power to preserve the peace of the city. Two brigades of the military are ordered to be in readiness at a moment’s notice, on a preconcerted signal, in case of the slightest attempt at insurrection. Tratian Opgra.—We understand that two fresh artists have just arrived from Mexico—Signor To- masi,a splendid basso, equal, it is said, to Forna- sari, and far superior to Valtellina ; and Signora Ricci, avery gond soprano, capable of taking second parts. ——enpeeentiageahal “Tam O’Snanter.”—This admirable drama, founded on Burns’s immortal poem, is to be pro- duced to-night at the Park. Mr. Maywood appears in the principal part, and will sustain it as only Mr. Maywood can. It is a capital piece, and will, no doubt, be vastly popular here as it was in London. Tae most Sterne ATTRACTION or THR Day.— It is with regret we have to announce the present as the last week of exhibition of ‘ Daniel’s highly celebrated Panorama of Madras.” Niblo has al- ways been celebrated for his taste and tact in pleasing his numerous patrons, and the present in- stance affords a further proot of his excellent artis- tical judgment, in procuring, at an immense ex- pense, the best production of the best artist of the day. Qc The delay in the a of the Philadelphia (rain, at New Jersey, yesterday, until half past two o'clock, was occasioned by a dense fog which pre- vented the starting of the train from Philadelphia until half past eight o’clock, A.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP HIBERNIA. FALL IN COTTON!!! NEW MOVEMENT IN IRELAND. Quietness in Europe, &c. &c. The Hibernia arrived at Boston on Saturday at midnight. e She left Liverpool Oct. 19th, at 2 20.P. M., ar- rived at Halifax on the Ist inet.,at 9 15 A. M., sailed thence at 2 30 P. M., and arrived at Boston at 12 midnight, on Saturday, bringing 106 pas- sengers. Her mails and passengers were immediately despatched by government express over the Long Island Rail Road, to this city. The Britannia arrived at Liverpool on the 15th ult. We are indebted, as usual, to Nathaniel Greene, Esq., the Post Master of Boston, for his attention and despatch in forwarding the newspapers and letters. The news reached this city 84 o’clock last night. Not for months has intelligence from Europe been of so unimportant a character. O'Connell has hit upon a federal project which is to_answer for repeal. There has been a slight dectine in Cotton in the face of increased sales. The grain markets were dull. Business in the manufacturing districts was good —brisk. There continued a rage for railway shares in England for investment. The English Money Market was buoyant. Louis Philippe has returned to France. Mr. Everett, the American Minister, who has been absent _for some time on the continent, has returned to England. i Mr. Everert..—Mr. Everett, the American Minister, who has been absent for some time on the Continent, has returned to England. Arrival or AMERICAN PackETs AND STEAMER.— Since the sailing of the last Boston steamer, we have had the following arrivals :—On the 7th the Stephen Whitney ; and on the 14th the ships Li- berty and Sea, from New York, brought us later apers ; and at 10 P. M that night the steam ship Baramia reached the Mersey, having had rather a rough voyage. The papers and despatches by her were forwarded by our usual express to London, and reached that city at one o’clock on Wednes- day. Since then, the Queen ofthe West and Sher- idan, New York packetships, reached on the 18th, but te both been anticipated by the previous ar- rivals. Tux Sream Sup Great Barrain.—A_ report is now current in England that this magnificent ves- sel is just now about to be released from her con- fiaement. Our private accounts from Bristol this morning state, that an amicable arrangement had been made with the Bristol Dock Company for taking down the walls,to enable her to pass through the locks; and it is expected that she will float into tie basin about the 80th inst., and into the river sometime in November. Her dates of sailing, when they are fixed, will be given in the columns of this pay [tis not improbable; however, that duripg the winter months she may remain in a atate of inactivity—either at London or Liverpool —ready to. start on her Atlantic career with the early Eawruings of Spring. American Year Ciocxs.—The year clocks, ma- nufactured by Mr. Crane, of Newark, United States, have excited some attention in England, from the elaborate description of the machinery which appeared in many of the papers. We shall feel happy in introducing at all times, through the me- dium of the European Times, American inventions to the notice of the British public. A Tittep Baptist Preacner.—On the evenin, of the 13th instant, Lord Teynham, late the Right Hon. KR. Carson, rescued at ie new tae fine’ chapel, pone rile ret a street, of which the Rev. Yarocs Liser is the minister. is lordship is a distinguished preacher among the Baptisis, and is on his way to Ireland. The chapel was densely crowded in every part. Dr. Woxrr.—Notwithstandin; \ all the reports lately circulated to the contrary, ir. Wolff was by last accounts perfectly sate at Bokhara. Tae Doc- tor himself writes under date of the 25th July, that the Emir having returned from his expedition against Kokan, had sent for him, and presented him with a dress of honor, a horse, and a hundred tomauns, He was lett at eke! to depart, and intended leav- ing tor Persia ina few days. The very next ac- counts from Tabreez will probably state his arrival there, and in the course of a very short time we may fully expect to have the satisfaction of seeing him here again, in copsequence of the representations of the Turk- ish government, M. Guizot has sent a cireular con- taining instructions to the French consular agents in various parts of tne Ottoman Empire,wherein he recommends them to abstain from unnecessary in- terference in the internal affairs of the country.— There can be no doubt but that their mischievous hey had a most prejudicial effect on its tranqui- ity Tur Exrarriatep Cuartists.—Sir James Gra- ham, in reply to a memorial soliciting the pardon of Frost, Jones and Williams, the Chartist leaders, who were transported some three or four years back, in connexion with the riots in South Wales, has declared that he cannot advise the Queen to comply with the request. The Manheim Journal of the 6th inst. states, that not only will the treaty of commerce between Belgium and the Zollverein be ratified in a tew days, but that it will be still further extended. Ne- gotiations have been already commenced for that purpose. The orders for cotton twist on the continent, via Hamburgh, from Hull, cause the demand to be greater than the supplies can, at the present, be ob- tained from the manufacturing districts. The in- sufficiency this week from Manchester cansed the Hanseatic steam ship Leeds to proceed considera- bly short of the freight engaged. A Frankfort journal states from Bremen that 3000 emigrants frem the north of Germany are waiting there for embarkation to Texas, on the territory purchased by a company at Frankfort. Storms anp Loss or Lirz.—A violent storm has swept over the Irish channel, destroying life and property by its ravages. The “ Island” near Clon- tart was overflowed; and a wooden cottage, con- taining a man and a boy who attended upon bathers, was carried away. A boy who ventured on a plank in the Liffey, was also carried away. A steamer under repair at Kingstown was driven against the wooden jetty, and through the watch- man’s house, which was divided into two; the man escaping just in time! At Skerries fishing boats dis- masted and injured, hedges and pailings blown down, and howes unroofed were amongst the most prominent featurés of the storm. A vessel belong- ing to Halifax was wrecked off Rush, and the cap- tain, his wife, and one of the crew were drowned At Dundalk, Belfast, and other places, the storm was more or less violent. The gale is described as being nearly equal im violence to the memorable hurricawe of January, 1839. The storm, it seems, has not been unfelt in Scot- land. The coast of Argyleshire experienced its fury. Several vessels were wrecked. Amongst others, a steamer called the Victor was torn from her moorings, and seriously injured. Coat. Pir Exenosions —These disasters, so de- structive to human life, are on the increase. We had the melancholy task recently of recording the dreadful catastrophe at Haswell, by which upwards of 100 persons Jost their lives. On Saturday, in the pit of Messrs. Stocke, at Blackrock, two per- sons were so dreadfully burnt that their lives are not worth a pin’s fee; and on Monday, in a pit near Neweastle-on-Tyne, five poor fellows lost their lives in the same way. In the latter instance the accident was owing to the carelessness of one of the men, who used an ordinary candle instead of a Davy famp. The following is a list of all which have occurred during the present century in No-thumberland and Durham, in which 500 lives and upwards have been lost:—1812, May 25, Fell- ing, 92 lives lost by explosion ; 1815, May 8, Hea- ton, 75 lost by inundation ; 1815, June 2, Success Pit, Newbottle, 57 lives fost by explosion; 1821, Oct. 23, Wallsend, 52 lives lost by explosion; 1823, Nov. 3, Plain Pit, Rainton, 59 lives lost by explo- sion; 1885, June 18, Wallsend, 102 lives lost by explosion ; 1889, June 23, St. Hilda, South Shields, 5). lives lost by explosion ; 1844, Sept, 28, Haswell, 95 lives lost by explosion. Accounts from the Leipsic fair state, that it had opened with considerable activity in the cloth de- partment. Large orders had Switzerland, Italy, America, Sweden, and Norway, as well as tor Kastera countries. The prices ol tained for woollen fabrics, are stated to be equal to hose asked. Ordinary and middling cloths were two and a half dollars per piece advance on the rates of Easter last. There were complaints of a good deal of bad cloth being manutactured, espe- cially buckskins. been received from, “A7ag* Lowts Philippe in- , On Friday, Baek, of the Garter was conferred ‘upon Louis _at Windsor Castle, amidst great pomp and magnificence. In a state chair sat Queen Victoria, in the of the order, ite motto inscribed on a bracelet that encircled arm, a diamond tiara on herhead. The chair of state by her side wag vacant. Round the table fore her sat some ten knights com; ns of highest rank. The purple velvet of the order was seen on elt oe group the fimaen, th em the chairs, the table; gold glowing at eve! , On robes and furniture.

The chapter. constituted, a special statute was passed, dispensing with certain dilatory forms; and the candidate was elected. The King, dressed in auniform of dark blue and gold, was introd by Prince Albert and the Duke of Cambridge, pre- ceded by Garter King at Arms; the Queen and knights all standing, The Sovereign, in French, announced the election. The declaration having been pronounced by the Chancellor of the order, the new knight was invested by the Queen a Prince Albert with the Garter and the George, and Taking the King’s arm, is own received the accollade. Taki her Majesty conducted him in state, to apartment. *The same day the King received an address from the corporation of Windsor, in returning thanks for which he again dwelt upon the advantages of eace— “4 PeecThe union of France and Engla: J importance to both nations; not from wish of aggrandisemept, however. Our view should be peace, while we have every other country in the joaseasions of those bleesings which it has pleased Divine Providence to bestow on them. sabes France has nothing to ask of England, and Eng- land has nothing to ask of France, but cordial union,” A splendid dinner in St. George’s Hall ot comme- morate the King’s installation, at which there were a hundred guests, adorned with all the splendors of of great jewellery and preciousstones, terminated the dress festivities, , i On Saturday the Lord Mayor and Corporation of the city of London arrived at Windsor, with an ad- dress to present to the King of the French. The deputation were introduced by Lord Sydney to the King. His Majesty bowed cordially to the Lord Mayor and the rest. The Recorder, Mr. Law, then read the address, which was of the usual com- plimentary character. At the conclusion, the Lord Mayor handed a copy of the address to the King. In receiving the address from his Lordship the King said:—‘‘I well remember your father, Mr. Magnay. I had the happiness of seeing him in the Egyptian hall of the Mansion House, when fhe filled the high situation which you now held. I remember him with much pieasure, and the hospi- table manner in which he received me. It afforde me great pleasure to receive such an address at your hands.” His eee then read the addrees from a paper which he held in his hand. The most striking feature is the Fae need *] am convinced, as you are, that peace and friendly relations between France and England are, for two nations made to esteem and honor each other, a source of innumerable and equal ad- vantage. The preservation of that good under- standing is, at the same time, a pledge of peace to the world at large, and secures the tranquil and regular progress of civilization for the benefit of all nations. I consider my co-operation in this holy work, under the protection of Divine Provi- dence, as the mission and the honor of my reign. Such has been the aim and the object of all my ef- forts, and I trust that the Almighty will crown them with success.” : His Majesty made the above passage with mark- ed emphasis. When he had concluded, he hand- ed the copy of the answer to the Lord Mayor, with whom hi jesty shook hands with great cordi- ality, again entering into conversation with him. The Lord Mayor having expressed a wish that his Majesty could have visited the citizens of Lon- don betore his departure, the King replied:—“‘I as- sure you, that if I had time, etiqus should not interfere with my hearty wish, my time is limited. 1 should wish very much to visit Guild- hall, the Mansion-house, and Fishmongers’-hall. The Lord Mayor then presented to the King Mr. Alderman Humphrey, the mover, and Sir P. Lau- tie, the seconder of the address in the Court of Aldermen, and Mr. Moon and Mr. Lawrence, the mover and seconder of the address in the other court. His Majesty conversed with them all. Previously, on Sir C. Hunter being presented to him, his Majesty mistook him for Sir Peter Laurie, and addressed him by that name. The mistake caused ‘some laughter, in which the King joined He observed to Sir Claudius Hunter that he remem- bered to have seen him abroad. On Sir Peter Laurie being presented by the Lord Mayor,his Ma- Jesty said that the name of Sir Peter was quite fa- Hs Ae tohim. He added, addressing Sir Peter, “Ah! Sir Peter, you are an old acquaintance of mine. I remember dining with you at Fishmon- gere’-hall many years ago. Itisa fret pleasure to meet you again.” To Mr. Moon his Majesty said, takin; ise y the hand, ‘“‘Ah! Mr. Moon heard of you;1 know you well from your con- nexion with the fine arts, and I have derived great pleasure from the examination of your admirable engravings. 1 find too, that you have an excellent way of making speeches.” , nthe Recorder being presented to the King b; the Lord Mayor, his Majesty said, ‘‘Mr. Law, am happy to see you. IknewMr. Thomas Law, an uncle of yours, in America. He married a granddaughter of General Washington.” The King also spoke to Mr. Lawrence, observ- ing to him, as he had done to the Lord Mayor, how sorry he was that his time was so short, that he could not stay.to enjoy the wey es of the city. His Majesty'added: “It will bea great pri- vation to me, [ assure you.” Subsequently, in conversation with the gentlemen of the Common Council, his Majesty observed, that he knew all the wards almost as well as they did themselves, having lived so long in this country. _ i After the departure of the deputation, the King of the French, the Queen, Prince Albert, the Duke ot hd pi eek and others of the Royal party, paid a visit to Eton College, where the boys were drawn up to receive them. The reception which the young students gave the distinguished visitors, was +othusiastic in the extreme, which the King, the Queen, and Prince Albert acknowledged by bow- ing to them several times. The boye, to the num- ber of nearly 700, were assembled in the quadran- gle, forming a line on either side of the way alon; which the visitors were to pass up to the Cloc! Tower. It was with no little difficulty that such a multitude of enthusiastic and unruly muadcaps could be kept in anything at all approaching to or- have er. In the library there is a book where distinguish- ed visitors are accustomed to write their names. Prince Albert’s name was already in the book, and her Majesty was requested to write hers. She vrote “Victoria R, October 12, 1844.” The Duke of Wellington wrote his name under the Queen’s, and the King of the French, who had of course been requested to write his, filled the. oj jpo- site page. His Majesty had expressed his delight 3 the “a. ren given rs by ba poys, and, with their shouts ringing in his ears, he wrote, “Louis Phili , encore ema de Vaccueil, que tui ont fait les eléves de cette honourable college.” On Sunday the King of the French, accompanied by, the Duke of Montpensier, and some ot his suite, attended divine service at the Catholic Chapel at Clewer. The chapel is small, and can only accommodate about 120 persons; none but the regular congregation and the royal visitors were admitted, there being no room. Thousands outside were unabie to obtain admission.— Mass was said by the Rev. Mr. Wilkinson, the officiating priest of the chapel The Duke de Montpensier sat on the right of the King. The text chosen by the reverend gentleman for his dis- course was, ‘Render an account of thy steward- hip, or thou mayest be no longer steward.” Mr. Wilkinson preached an excellent sermon, in which there was no direct or indirect allusions to the mesence of the King, except that the reverend gen- ‘leman began with, “ May it please your Majesty.” Che King paid marked attention throughout the service, which lasted altogether nearly two hours. .On Monday, at noon, the King of the French, his son, M. Guizot, and the suite, accompanied by Prinee Albert and the Queen, left Windsor Castle. he weather proving unfavorable, led to a change in the arrangements, the Queen and Prince Albert having originally determined to accompany the a as far as St. Helen’s, and then return to their residence at the Isle of Wight, where they were to remain some days. The royal party proceeded in their carriages to Farnborough, where they got on the railway. Their Majesties were received at tho station by the directors. Some delay occurred, but a few moments before two o’clock the train started tor Gosport. Along the line great numbers were assembled, notwithstanding the unfavorable state of the weather, who lustily cheered the royal passengers. ‘Arrived at Gosport, a triumphal arch, with the words ‘* Welcome Louis Philippe, Victo- ria and Albert,” met the eye. The soldiers here presented arms. A great mumber of elegantly dressed ladies were assembled, an animated ecene presented itself, Here the royal party got into their peraees and drove to the Victualling yard, Portsmowfth, amidet the cheers of the as- sembled multitude. The vessels were dressed in their gayest colors, and the yards manned ; all the naval officers were in full costume. The royal party drove Jalo the yard, the bands playing, and salutes, being fired in the harbor. Owing to the stormy state of the weather, a con- sultation took place whether the king should not fui back to Windsor. It was determined, at length, that he should go by the'way of Dover, and in consequence the whole arrangements of the day were changed; the’rain’ in the ‘meantime, falling copiously, with a high wand, singled with thunder and ihe. A speci in was according: despatched to Dover, and the royal arty too! rhelter in Mr. Grant’s, the superintendent’s house, where a hasty dinner was prepared, At a quarter pist seven in the evening, the King took leave of the Queen and the Prince, and proceeded to the railway, which left at a quarter to eight o’clock in the evening. At nine, Sir James Graham was in waiting to receive the King and his suite. The di- reclors of the comes Eastern bomen Bins paet a special carriage and engine to conve) to Dover. "Here a distressing calamity occurred. a bui ‘at the station was discovered to be on fire, and the King of the French drove in while the flames were nai furiously. It was not until aes one in the morning that the trait with the ing and his suite left for Dover. The damage done byt e amounts, it is said, to £25,000. The King arrived at C about three @clock on Tuesday On landing, his Majesty walked up the pier, and received the co: tulations of thou- sands who were assembled. At Desnin’s hotel he received the Mayor, the Britisl Consul, and other persone, to whom he was most courteous. He pre- sented in Smithet, of the Princess Alice, with ngold snuff box. At Bernay, he met with the Queeu, who had been most anxiously waiting his errival at Shes ee and, finding that he could not tand at that place, had set out to meet him. American Pracues.—E. Willmer, on leaving Boston for England, in September, took a box of peaches from that city, which on his arrival at Liverpool, were found to be in excellent condition and were greatly admired by the friends to whom he presented them, as the product of the United States.

At Staleybridge, Ashton-under-J.yne, and other places, the employers hi ed to advance wages five per cent—a suffi hat trade isnot only brisk but flourishing. in Yorkshire the cloth-halls have been doing more business. The accounts from Leicester state, that so dull an Oc- tober has not been known for years. The Iron trade has been subject to considerable fluctuations recently. Atameeting last week of the trade of Staffordshire and Shropshire, it was resolved to support the then existing prices, but this was only a ruse to crush, if possible, the small masters, whe deal on credit, and whe, in order to meet their engagements, are compelled at times to throw their produce on the market at whatever price it willcommand. The inferior makers, by this pro- cess, have driven, it is said, the great and best makers out of the market. At the last meeting bar iron was reduced 203., and pig iron 10. per ton. The money market continues buoyant, and the rage for new railway investments is as strong as ever. The recent excellent harvest gives token of prosperity for at least another year, and there is nothing in the political or social horizon, at home or abroad, to cause misgivings or despondency.— The probability is that with a superabundance of money which cannot find Pipeaees investment, the rage of speculation will continue.

The subject has also awakened the attention of the English merchant and manulacturer, so that a glut ia the eastern market will be, in al] probability, the result of the competition. Ireland. The weekly meeting of the Repeal Association, was held as usual, on the 14th inst. J. P. Somers, Eeq., M. P., who occupied the ‘ir, spoke rather warmly, declaring “‘his firm conviction that neither the petty-fogging pertinacity of a jury packing At- torney-General, supported by the more proteund and infamous iniquity of the Government, can for one moment retard the accomplishment of repeal, and in the same breath denouncing the said Attor- ney-General as a ‘sordid and degraded placeman.” A very long letter from Mr. O’Connell, occupyin nearly feur columns of the Irish papers, was read. It commenced in the following terms: “*lam ex- tremely anxious to bring the Gay attention of the association to that which I deem the most im- portant of all the duties which they have to ae e form atthe present most auspicious period. have ebtained the most valuable victory that ever was achieved by purely moral means. The victo- ty of Waterloo was the mere triumph for physical force combined with military organization It was a brutal and a bloody scene, and much lh its glories depended up- on chance and accident. Ours, on the contrary, was the triumph of the first principles of civil lber- ty, and of the judicial merits of our glorious cause. »which ‘triumphed was the great’ consti- tutional principle which sanctions the right of free discussion to the inhabitants Of these realms. It was that principle which battled with, and triumph- ed over, the well-a ed conspiracy to extinguish popular sentiment, and to limit and restrain the ef- ficacy of peaceful popular exertions.” After some further observations on the trial, Mr. O’Connell pro- ceeds to inform the association that, ‘Upon the subject of repeal, near nime-tenths of the Irish peo- ple are pertectly agreed. They are convinced of Its necessity. They have no doust of its practica- eae holds this assertion to have been al- ready sufficiently proved by the forty-one monster meetings, and, therefore, he deems the repetition of such meetings, at légst for the present, unneces- sary. ‘Having thus,” says he, ‘in favor of re- peal the overwhelming majority of the Catholic po- palation, clergy and laity, and having also been ieee by many, very many Protestants, by a large jody cf Presbyterians, and by some other enlight- ened Protestant dissenters, it only remains for us to conciliate and combine the residue of the Pro- tystants of evel sles and description.

Onthe part of the Catholics, he solemnly declares that they desire no such ascendancy, but only perfect equal- ity, such as can be secured by the repeal of the inion alone. He proceeds to cite ten or a dozen proofs of this declaration, and then explains at great length, the distinctions between federalists aad “simple repealers,” ae rather to the be- lief that the former asks more for Ireland than the latter, “For my own part,” says he, “I will own that since I have come to contemplate the apecific does t ee such as sme are, between ‘simple re-, peal’ end ‘federalism,’ { do at present feel a prefe- | rence for the federutive plan, as tending more to the utility of Iréland and to the maintenance of the connection with England than the mode of simple repeal. But I must either deliberately eropose or deliberately adopt from some} other, person a plan of a federative union, veforeé 1 bind myself to the opinion which { now entertain.” He invites the federal- 13ta to come forward and propound their plans. ' ‘ The federaliste,” says he, ‘* cannot but perceive ‘ that there has been, upon my pes a pause in the agitation for the repeal since the period of our libe- ration from unjust imprisonment; they must per- ceive that, on the part of the repealers, every pas- sion has been hushed, and all the energy of com. ylaint suppressed, in the expectation of a federal saovement. This calm has been made in compli- ment to the friends of Ireland, who have not, as yet, joined the repeal standard. We anxiously € their patriotic ce-operation. But should 'y allow the present favorable occasion to es- cape, they may hereafter regret not having ob- tained that influence in the repeal cause which every body is now ready to give them, but which they may hereafter find it exceeding difficult, if not im- possible, to obtain.” He declares these two positions to be perfectly undeniable: ‘ First—That imati cannot remain as they are in Ireland, but that the repeal movement must accumulate in pow- “rant force in spite of every obstacle. Secondly— Chatithe British minister cannot cenduct the af- fairs pF Treland upon a Protestant or Orange prin- ciple?’ The letter concludes in the followii terms: *¢ Let us then be active, energetic, concil tory.'
