Saturday, October 13. Eavl Cowlny is now said to have withdrawn his tendered resignation as Ambassador at Paris-, and will remain at his post until after the Paris Exhibition of next year.

Experiments at Shoeburyness, at Fortress Monroe, have shown that the destructive t fleets of modern artillery are t-uch as to prove that a combination of granite and iron is no proper or efficient protection. It has therefore been decided by the engineers of tlie War Department here that the construction of the Spithead forts shall, instead of a combination of granite and nine inches of iron, be one entirely of iron of the most massive churacter.

Upon the working out of the enigma, viz., the effects of modern shot of the heaviest character and most powerful propulsion updn protective material, we think that a wall of solid iron of two feet thick alone will successfully resist the power that can be brought to bear against it. We have a theory upon this subject. It may be good, bad, or indifferent, but we are of opinion that \$ iron is to be solely Used, that it must be of the most solid character, and we are trying to effect a means of converting " cast iron" into a " malleable" form. However, we cannot Bay more on this subject at present. . The Empress of the French is said, and I believe with truth, to have written direct to H H. the Pope, offering to pay out of her private purse the total expenses of the new Foreign Legion which is to take the place of the withdrawn French troops in the military protection of the Holy Father. Ihis, however, we personally deem to be unnecessary, as we cannot but think that other Roman Catholic Governments will step forward and lend substantial succour to his Holiness while he is a " sovereign" Pontiff.

The Jamaica Committee, formed to brfng to judicial decision the conduct of ex-Go-vernor Eyre, are seeking for subscriptions fo the extent of Lio,ooo, to pay the expense thereof ; while at the same time the FiVre Tyfcnoa-fWrmTTtiHt l ate asking tor a like sum for their expenses, for his defence, and have already obtained L6OOO. A Roman Catholic church has been opened in the Lower Park Road, Peckham, with considerable and impressive ceremony, by the Franciscan Friars. Dr Manning preached the sermon. Ritualism just now appears to be making great way in London — in other words the High Church of England is openly proclaiming its Romish proclivities ; observances in every shape and way, greatly to the hcandal of the Low Church and Evangelical party.

That Roman Catbology has rapidly progressed fcince the late innovations by the authorities of Rome, and silent permission of the Government here, cannot possibly be doubted. There is now something of an unfriendly antagonistic feeling displayed against the one for the other, which I greatly fear will in time lead to disastrous result". The Roman Catholics have been leaning favorably towards the Dissentersj and the Dissenters towards the Roman Catholics, because of their unhappy differences with the Established Church, but that there is any real sympathy or tendency of the Dissenters towards Rbme, it would be impossible to affirm, much less prove, in the slightest degree.

The Roman Catholics appear to be pushing forward with the utmost amount of zeal to gain a majority, or at least equal ecclesiastical and thence political power in England, in view of the prospect of the Pope having, sooner or later, to take refuge in England, when, if he should, the whole power of the Church would be displayed in his favor.

However, her Majesty's Government would not permit him to seek a refuge here, but offer him one at Malta. His successor, however, cnula 1 be, and would no doubt be, installed in London.

A great reform demonstration took place at Li eds, la*t Monday. 150,000 working men aie said to have been present from the faurronnding districts.

A nourish of trumpets was the signal for silence, when simultanet usly at all the five platforms, thefolowing resolutions were moved : —

1. That this meeting enters its solemn protest against, and its denial of the charges of venality, ignorance, drunkenness, and indifference to Reform, brought against the working classes during the la3t Session of Parliament ; and hereby pledges itself to advocate for the future registered residential manhood suffrage and the ballot, as the only just and proper basis of representation. 2. That this meeting desires to acknowledge the services of the Right Honorable W. E. Gladstone, Mr John Bright, Mr John Stuart Mill, and all those who have supported the people's claim and vindicated their character in Parliament ; and further expresses its confidence in Mr John Bright as the champion of the national cause in the House of Commons. 3. That this meeting expresses its indignation at the conduct of those members of Parliament who have refused to aid the working classes in their endeavour to obtain a fair share of the franchise, and hereby pledges itself to unite with the men of London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Northumberland, G-lasgow, Dublin, and elsewhere in their determination to press the question of Reform to an immediate settlement, to maintain the peace and pecure the contentment of the country.
