GRATIKYIXO INFORMATION.—A gentleman of Liverpool wrote the other day to a distinguished admiral, and as brave a man a, ever held her Majesty's commission, re- questing his opinion as to the effect likely to be produced by the explosion of 700 tons of gunpowder situated within a mile and a lialf of the north of Liverpool. The answer was characteristic, and to the lioint Sir,—The explo- sion of 700 tons of gunpowder would blow you all to the devil, but to what distance the explosion would do damage I cannot tell you."

THOMAS ELLIS, Secretary. Dated the 18th December, 1850.

GENERAL SUMMARY. The Maharajah Goolaub Singh has sent articles to La- hore to the value of £10,000, as a gift to the Exhibition of 1851, and many of the pett) Indian chiefs around have followed his example. Crowded houses and close air produce infectious cor- ruption, both of body and mind. Modesty is a becoming veil to a fair woman, but a for- ward and implldcnllook entails sour fruit. It is intended by the operative tailors of Scotland to hold a conference in Edinburgh or Glasgow, for the pur- pose offoriniii, a national union to repress the "sweating" system. Aitkcn, Mathie, and Co., of Melvin Dock Foundry, Glasgow, having stopped payment to an amount stated to range between :30,00 )t. and ;I;OOOt., the iron merchants and brokers on 'Change have suffered severely. The Queen has directed letters patentjto be issued con- ferring upon the Right Hon. Sir I. Rolfe the dignity of a baron of the U nited Kingdom, by the title of Baron Cranworth, of Cranworth, in the county of Norfolk. A sum of 203t. 4s., chiefly raised in Glasgow, has just been distributed among the Portpatrick boatmen who saved the lives of the passengers at the wreck of the Orion. Dr. Robernton was presented at the same time with a silver snuff box and lOt. The Bristol Times says that the Rev. Mr. Maskell (the recent seceder to Rome) has had one ofthe cellars adjoining his residence inVictoiia-square, Clifton, fitted up as an ora- tory, where lamps and candles are constantly kept light, and where he has the Romish prayers weeded of Alaryo- latry. Dr. Wiseman is said to have an eye to the Popedom after the demise of l'ius IX. On Saturday evening the American Ambassador, the Hon. Abbott Lawrence, was sumptuously entertained at a public banquet at the Adelphi Hotel, in Liverpool, by the members of the Liverpool American Chamber of Com. merce. The four newly-appointed inspectors of coal-mines have each a salary of E400 a-year, with a liberal allowance for travelling expenses. It is rumoured that a final determination has been come to that the marble arch shall be erected at Cumberland- gate, Hyde-park. It is intended to commission a steam-vessel for service on the New Zealand station, and it is probable one of the iron war steamers will be selected for that purpose. General Radowitz, recently Prime Minister to the King of Prussia, is at present on a visit to this country, and has obtained official permission to visit all her Majesty's dock- yards. James Carter, Esq., puisne judge of the Supreme Court of New Brunswick, is appointed chief justice of that court. Several men, employed in constructing a sewer, were drowned on Monday by the river gushing in on them. Parliament was again prorogued on Tuesday, to Tuesday, the 4th of February, 151. Then to assem- ble and be holden for the dispatch of divers urgellt alld important affairs." The Earl of Guildford's resignation of the rich living of St. Mary's, Southampton, is in the hands of the Bishop of Winchester. In taking the census next March the exact ages of women must be given. At the last census the column for age was headed 25-30" and" 35-40." Mr. George Spence, Q.C., 42, Hyde-park-square, London, committed suicide by cutting his throat and other parts of the body. Three convicts under sentence of transportation for ten yars each, named John Bradwich, 20, John Thompson, 22, and Charles AVebster, 22, succeeded in making their escape from the convict etablishment on Dartmoor on Wednesday last, and have not since been heard of. III aedonald, the sculptor, has received an order from Lord Willoughbv d'Eresby for a Venus, which has al- ready advanced far in the clay, anllpromises well. It is too early to criticize his as yet imperfect expression of the beauties of the goddess. On Saturday morning a remarkable thunder storm passed obliquely across the south-west of Ireland, begin- ning in Clare, and going off at Cork. In the former lo- cality a young man, respectably connected, the second son of Mr. Brown Bruke, of Newgrove-cottage, was killed by the electric fluid, and other persons were slightly injured. In Cork some cattle were killed, and other ill. juries inflicted.

We also perceive a dinner is advertised to take place on the 23id to celebrate the event. POACHING.—At the Bangor Petty Sessions yesterday, John Williams, Thomas Jones, and John Lewis, all of Bethesda, were each convicted of poaching on the f rounds of the Hon. Col. Pennant, on the (!th instant. Villiams was fined El and 9s. 6d. costs; Jones was fineit in a similar amount; and Lewis was fined 5s., and 9s. costs. RESIGNATION OF THE LORD-LIEUTENANT OF CARNAR- VONSHIRE.—The Right Hon. Lord Willoughby d'Eresby has resigned the Lord-Lieutenancy of the county of Car- narvon, and written a letter, to the magistrates stating his reasons for the important step which he has taken. It app( ars that ill-health has prevented his Lordship residing atGwydir, the family seat in Carnarvonshire, and that his Lordship has found it impossible to transact the business in a manner satisfactory to himself.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. We are requested by Messrs. Wvatt& Brandon, Architects, of London, to correct a paragraph which appeared in last week's 11 Chronicle," and which has been copied into many of the London Journals, in which Mr. T. H.Wyatt is referred to as the London architect of the Pantasa church, instead of Messrs.Wyatt & Brandon, who, having been associated as partners for a considerable time, were jointly the architects of that church. We had thought that we could read almost anything, but the conceit has been fairly taken out of us by the letter received from our Correspondent at Paris. We much regret our inability to decipher his Manuscript, as it doubtless is replete with interest. He may hereafter put us to the cost of any amount of postage he pleases whilst in that gay city, so that he will write only on one side the sheet of paper, and not cross it. We required the name of our Correspondent Sir merely for our own private satisfaction, and not with any intention of making it public. He will please to understand that though we advocate certain principles which are entertained by a party, we act independently, and our wish is to steer clear of farty bitterness, in the full assurance that by so doing we shall make friends rather than enemies. His closing remarks are somewhat rough, but if, on inquiry, we find his com- plaint to be well grounded, we shall endeavour to effect an improvement in the department to which he alludes. One" William Williams," dating from" Garth, Bangor," writes to us to say that he is the party whom we last week charged with distributing the slips containing the translated extract from our article of the 7th of Septem- ber, on which Mr. Phillips founded his late" lecture," and that he never did anything of the nature imputed to him. We accept his denial, and are glad that he is ashamed of the dirty trick for which he has had credit in our columns, and which some other person must have practised in his name. Every body-ewn his own servants—seems anxious to repudiate all connexion with Ir. Phillips and his proceedings-we beg pardon, the conductors of the Carnarvon Herald should be specially excepted. They have, as yet, given no sign. The blackguard Amserau, is his defender.

Parliament has been summoned to meet on the 4th February. Whatever opinions Lord John Russell may entertain on the subject of the Papal usurpation, they do not appear to have induced him to call the Houses together any earlier than the usual period. Some think that this indicates a new-born luke- warmness on the part of the noble lord. We are not, however, of this opinion. There may be Cabinet obstacles in the way, or royal ones, or court ones, which, for the present, overrule the wishes of the Prime Minister. The Queen's answers to the few addresses which have been presented to her Majesty have, we confess, caused much dissatisfaction all over the country. But we believe that it is not the etiquette for the Sovereign to express any distinct opinion on any question of a political nature, It is deemed satis- factory if the Queen states her pleasure in receiv- ing the addresses. When the proper time comes, viz., the assem- bling of Parliament, her Majesty, in her speech from the throne, will indicate the views of her Ministers on the Romish invasion, and the mea- sures which they advise her to recommend. The longer the insulted people of this country are kept in suspense on this momentous ubject the more intense will their anxiety become; and in this regard it would be fatal policy to endeavour, by any shuffling or delay, to disappoint their hopes. It will be observed, that the letter of the Earl of Winchelsea recommends the same course of policy with Rome which we suggested two or three weeks ago. The dignity of Great Britain will not allow her to make reprisals upon insolent or ignorant servants, when they have a lord and master to answer for their conduct, give ample redress, or take the consequences. That there are members in the Cabinet who openly condemn Lord John Russell's manly, noble, truly English, and indignant sentiments, is well known; and that they will endeavour to throw difficulties in the noble lord's way, and exonerate the Pope and the Cardinal from any intentional aggression on public liberty, the rights of the Crown or the Church, we can readily believe; for they them- selves are compromised by acts of concession to, and conciliation of, Popery, in this realm,-acts which, if they had committed them not many years ago, would have cost them their heads. It is natural, therefore, to suppose that these men will resort to all sorts of special pleading in their defence. 1'hey will once more attempt to frighten the fundholders with an imaginary rebellion in Ireland. The Duke of Wellington and Mr. Peel practised this dodge, with great success, in 1829. It will be attempted again; for there are many of the original performers in the present House of Commons. That it will fail we have not the slightest doubt. The British people have bad the experience of twenty years to prove to 11 them the tremendous mistake that was then com- mitted. They now see that a rebellion in Ire- land, at that period, in favour of Popery, its frauds, and its then concealed, but now openly avowed, aggrandising and intolerant spirit, would have been the very best thing that could have happened for this country. Let the rising have been as general as it was threatened—as sanguinary as was threatened—as awful as many old women believed-as injurious to the funded interest as the London capitalists asserted-it would have been suppressed in a month, and some score or two of the leaders hanged. It would have been a blessing to poor Ireland herself. She would have been spared the patriotism and the plunder of the O'Connell faction. It would have silenced the Romish Priests, and prevented them from robbing and beggaring their slaves and dupes as they have done ever since. It would have de- livered the poor peasantry from the delusions, the excitement, the pangs, the lies, and the crimes caused by mercenary agitation. It would have helped to make them Protestant! But the errors and the false liberalism of those unhappy years, and this ill-judged and fatal policy, are now impressed on the convictions of the people of Britain. We see this in all the speeches at all the public meetings. Such a fraudulent game cannot be played a second time in this island. The invaders from Rome must be driven back, and the Pope's pretensions con- fined to his own diocese, if he have one which he can either safely call his own, or exercise therein an independent jurisdiction.

We have received American papers, containing the Message of the President, presented to Con- gress on the 4th instant. It is, in this instance, at least, a peculiarly important document. We say peculiar, because its recommendations, deli- beratively considered, and long urged by the leading men of the United States, will, if adopted, have a serious effect upon the manufactures of this country. We quote the passage we allude to:- All experience has demonstrated the wisdom and policy of raising a large portion of revenue for the sup- port of Government from duties on goods imported, The power to lay these duties is unquestionable, and its chief object, of course, is to replenish the treasury But if, in doing this, an incidental advantage may be gained by encouraging the industry of our own citizens, it is our duty to amil our.lckes of that advantage. A duty laid upon an article which cannot be produced in this country, such as tea or coffee, adds to the cost of the article, and is chiefly or wholly paid by the con- sumer. But a duty laid upon an article whieh may be produced here, stimulates the skill and industry of our own country to produce the same article, which is brought into the market in competition with the foreign article, and the importer is thus compelled to reduce his price to that at which the domestic article can be sold, thereby throwing a part of the duty upon the pro- dueer of the foreign article. The continuance of this process creates the skill, and invites the capital, which finally enable us to produce the article much cheaper than it could have been pro- cured from abroad, thereby benefiting both the pro- ducer and consumer at home. The consequence of of this is, that the artisan and the agriculturist are brought together; each affords a ready market for the produce of the other; the whole country becomes pros- perous and the ability to produce etery necessary of life renders us independent in war as well as in in peace. The people of the United States have ever been anxious to manufacture for themselves, and not be dependent upon foreign nations This policy is instinctive wisdom. History shows that all states who have adopted it have flourished-all who have rejected or abandoned it have speedily declined, or what is the same thing, have no risen to eminence. The cotton and iron manufacturers of the United States have for several years been strug- gling against British competition, simply because we have had hitherto a redundancy of capital in this country, and also because our manufactures have been admitted to the American markets at a lower than a protective duty. The American manufacturers have loudly complained of th is, and as their complaint was strictly just and reason- able, it was foreseen, by all thinking men, on both sides of the Atlantic, that a change would be forced upon the legislature of the United States in defiance of the interests and the influence of American merchants in this country. Now the blow is struck. America is resolved to take care of herself—to adopt the wise policy which raised England to its wealth and greatness—and this at a moment when England has fatally relinquished I her golden rules, and admitted foreign corn into her markets Jree of duty. We have only time and space to say that the message containing this resolution has caused an extraordinary sensation in Manchester and all our manufacturing districts, because it must and will prove deeply injurious to their interests. Already there is a clamour about retaliation and so forth. But how can we retaliate without renouncing all the principles taught in the schools of Political Economy in this country for the last thirty years It is always so—bad measures cure themselves. Even-handed justice Commends the ingredients of the poisoned chalice To our own lips.

We perceive by an advertisement, that a meet- ing of the county of Merioneth is to be held on tile Subject of the Papal Aggressions. This, we believe, will supply the last link in the unanimous declaration of North Wales, the counties of which have set an example to many English shires. Glancing over the speeches that have been delivered, we find them pretty generally to agree with the principles of this journal. Whilst the most deep-rooted aversion has been universally displayed to the doctrines and practices of the Papacy, the unfaithfulness of many worshippers within the pale of the Church of England has been denounced, the several Governments which have encouraged the Bishop of Home to attempt dierc-i ilt rod uctioll of the Romish schism into these realms has been severely censured, a warm Pro- testant feeling and determined maintenance of the Queen's supremacy, in matters ecclesiastical as well as civil, have been exhibited; and, at the same time, a disposition not to infringe the sacred rights of civil and religious liberty, which may be said inherently to belong to every true Briton, has been evinced. The country has willed that the Pope shall have no governmental authority A-ithin the dominions of England, except in so far as may be necessary for the regulation of the worship of his own people who may have become resident i in our land. The law, we have no doubt, is with them. If not, we can and will cause a law to be made to meet the emergency. The Flintshire meeting had no extraordinary feature, with the exception of an undue attempt! of Mr. Denton, a barrister, to cast more than the merited degree of odium upon the Tractarians, in order to shield the Government from the blame which fairly attaches to them, and the somewhat Jesuitical endeavour of the High Sheriff, Lord Fielding, when calling the meeting, to divert the public attention of the people from the points which it was desired to discuss. His Lordship, however, did not appear and the excellent letter of Lord Dinorben, and the admirable speech of Lord Dungannon, soon set every thing to rights here. At the Denbighshire meeting, a small mistake was made by Mr. Griffith, in bringing forward a charge in one of the resolutions, that Tractarianisni was known to prevail in this and the adjoining dioceses." This assertion, as far as the diocese of Bangor is concerned, was in direct contradiction to the statement which had emanated from our revered Bishop, and, after most manly addresses in defence of the Church in North Wales had been delivered by Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Bart., M P., and Mr. J. Jocelyn Ffoulkes, the latter of whom rose in his speech to the highest point of truthful eloquence, the resolution was made more general, the words various dioceses being substituted for this and the adjoining dioceses," and in that shape it was carried. The unfounded aspersions cast upon the late Bishop of St. Asaph by a clergyman whom, in charity, we shall not name, afforded a melancholy instance of! the fact that zeal may sometimes outrun discre- tion." In Carnarvonshire, the address was proposed by the Hon. Colonel Pennant, M. P. for the county, seconded by lfr. Owen Owen Roberts. How the latter gentleman came into this distinguished position we cannot say. It is scarcely likely that he was invited to occupy it, and we presume we must consider that he was induced to take it by a revival of that zeal which he displayed in 1829, when a member of the Brunswick Club and a strong supporter of Mr. Ormsby Gore, the can- didate for the representation of the Boroughs, in the No Popery" interest. There was not much originality in his address on this occasion, He seemed to speak as if he were under the apprehen- sion that some one would recognize it as a part of an oration which had been delivered by another party at Liverpool a few days previously, and he blundered sadly in mixing up the Canon Law of Rome with the Canon Law of the Church of England. There was one very funny point in his harangue, wherein he intimated that his religion taught him not to abuse his neighbour," a lapsus linque that must have suffused his face with crimson, from the reflection how possible it was to iitter good sentiments but not carry them into prac- tice. In Anglesey, unfortunately, the business was almost wholly left to the Hon. W. O. Stanley, who being a warm supporter of the government, tlirew the whole blame of the Papal aggression upon the ministers of the Church. His scheme for having the Liturgy revised by the House of Com- mons was a most extraordinary one, con-idering of; what discordant elements that House is composed, j We apprehend there would be verv little of the Prayer BOl k bft, when each member had made the erasures constant with his own desires. His introduction of Archbishop Laud's name into his address was both needless and foolish. Whatever Laud's fau'ts were, and nobody denies or defends them, he certain ly was no abettor of Popery, as his controversy with Fisher the jesuit proves, as well as the facts of his life, aye, and even his death. The charge was raised against him by the dominant Puritan party, but they could not get up even a pri?na ?cte case against him, so as bring him to trial, and therefore he was condemned and sacrificed by a mere ordi- nance of the Long Parliament. The party in the Church on whom Mr. Stanley would cast the entire obloquy of the recent acts of the Papacy, to shield his friends and deter the people from pres- sing their demands for justice in the right direc- tion, has nothing, as far as we can discern, in common with the practices of Archbishop Laud, wrong as they both may have been—and were—in their own ways. It is a pity that the gentry of Anglesey left this matter rather too much to the direction of Ir. Stanley. We know that their hearts are in the right place, but they were de- terred by various causes from attending and taking part in the meeting, which otherwise might have borne somewhat of a different com- plexion at the close. We trust now, as the demonstrations have been so general, and as they have differed rather as to the cause of the Pope's doings, thin the pro. pricty of staying his unconstitutional advances, the people will not be disappointed in the appli-  cation of a proper remedy, Our own opinions coincide, as is well known, with those of Lord Stanhope; but we fear the pusillanimity of Lord John Russell and his compeers will not permit the course which we recommend to be adopted. Had his Lordship acted promptly and courage- ously, instead of indulging in merely a wordy in. dignation, the matter would have been settled ere this but, as it is, we presume we must wait the opening of Parliament. Her Majesty, we really believe, feels the indignation which the Prime Minister declares, and if this is not proved by a pointed paragraph in Her Royal Speech, and the action subsequently taken thereupon, the hopes and just expectations of the people will be chilled, and they will hereafter have little faith in the vauntings of the Queen's advisers.
