A Telegraphic Despatch, Arrived From Tri...
A telegraphic despatch , arrived from Trieste yesterday afternoon , containing a summary of India and China news . The dates of the intelligence are—Bombay , September 17 ; Calcutta , September 7 ; Singapore , September 2 ; and Hong-Kong , August 24 ° — " There was a total dearth of events of political importance , and the profoundest tranquillity reigned throughout India . The works on the Calcutta Railway had been at last commenced . Sir Charles Napier was to begin his homeward journey from Simla on the 5 th of November , and the Governor-General was expected to return from Konawur to Simla at the end of September . It was then expected that his lordship would visit the Punjaub . According to a report , which was
considered very doubtful , Sir H . Laurence was said to have fallen , during his travels in Cashmere , into the hands of a tribe , who had detained him in captivity . A mutiny had broken out among some of the Nizam ' s native troops . The cholera was still prevalent in Scinde , Mooltan , and some districts of India . From Singapore we learn that Sir James Brooke had sailed from Siam on the 3 rd of August . The Indian and Chinese seas are still infested with pirates . The intelligence from China is unimportant . We are glad to state that the health of the troops in Hong-Kong was improving . The difference between the Chinese and Portuguese at Macao had not been arranged . A sufficiency of rain had fallen in Bengal and the greater part of India , with the exception , however , of Bombay and
Poonah . " The examination of the four prisoners arrested on suspicion of having been guilty of the murder of the Reverend George Holiest took place at Guildford yesterday . As we have elsewhere stated it was generally known that one of the accomplices has turned approver , but the magistrates conducted the proceedings in the usual formal way , so as to prevent the disclosure from being made till the close of the sitting . From the evidence it appeared pretty certain that the prisoners were the parties who had committed the burglary and murder , but the
confession made by Hiram Smith , who is understood to have b en the ringleader and plotter in the affair , placed the matter beyond all doubt . It appeared that on Monday Smith became anxious to know if the promise of pardon in the bill which had been issued would be acted up to if ho were to " peach . " He was told that he must act up to his own judgment . Whatever he said would be taken down and used in evidence against him . Smith replied that every man was bound to take care of himself , and that he would make a statement . This he then proceeded to do in the following
words : — " On the 27 th of September last , being Friday night , myself with other persons now in custody , named James Jones , Levi Harwood , and Samuel Harwood , was at Frimley , and broke into Mr . Hollest ' s house by taking out a bar . I entered first and Levi Harwood second . With a worm Levi Harwood bored two holes in the frame of the door leading to the kitchen , and pushed back the bolt with his knife , and then myself , Jones , and Levi Harwood went in and then looked about . Levi Harwood then opened a workbox and took two shillings from it . We then all three of us went into the sitting-room , and Levi Harwood and Jones searched while I held the
candle , and there found a silver hunting watch and a small old-fashioned gold one . We then went into another room , and I don ' t know what was taken from there . They then went down into the pantry , while I stood in the passage . It was then about half-past two o ' clock . I then went out and fetched Samuel Harwood in . Three of us then went upstairs—myself , Jones , and Levi Harwood went into a bedroom , ahd removed three ladies' dresses , two out of the drawers , and one from the bedstead . There was no one sleeping in that bedroom . We then came downstairs , and put on the masks . Myself and Jones put on the green ones which were produced last Saturday , and Levi Harwood put on a white one , and waistcoat
a white Guernsey over his . Jones put on a large cloak which was hanging up in the passage , and I put one on likewise . The cloaks belonged to the house . VVe then all four of us proceeded upstairs . Jones went first with a pistol in his right hand , Levi Harwood second with a pistol in his right hand , which he loaded on the road to Frimley . He loaded both pistols with marbles . Jones first , Levi Harwood second , and myself third , here entered Mr . Hollest ' s room , while Samuel Harwood stood at the door with a screwdriver In his hand . Levi Harwood then said , * Lay still , my good woman , or else I will blow your brains out . * He was standing at the foot of the bed at this time . Mrs . Holiest instantlv eot from her bed , Jones being Holiest instantly got from her bed , Jones being
on her side of the bed , Levi Harwood at the foot of the bed , and myself against Mr . Hollest ' s side of the bed . When Mrs . Holiest got out of the bed , Jones took hold of her and thrust her up in the corner of the room on her own side of the bed . Mr . Holiest jumped out of the bed and went to take hold of Levi Harwood , when he ( Levi Harwood ) immediately fired the pistol at Mr . Holiest , and I took the gold watch from oft' the stand of the room , and we all four then ran down stairs . Wo were in the room for about five minutes . Jones and Samuel Harwood then started for Guildford . A tier we had walked together across the common about five miles Lovi Ilarwood and myself then parted from
them , and we went to Kingston together . There I left him to go to London , he having the things with him that had been taken from Mr . Hollest ' s , and I returned to Guildford . We arranged on the Tuesday previous to commit the robbery . On the Friday evening Samuel Harwood and Levi Harwood went first , and myself and Jones met them on the top of the hill , about two miles from Frimley . It was then about nine o ' clock , and there the pistols were loaded by Levi Harwood . We all four went on to the canal bridge and there parted . Levi Harwood and Jones went first , and myself and Samuel Harwood followed them in about five minutes , and then joined them on the green near Mr . Hollest ' s house . "
While this important document was read by Mr . Smallpiece , the clerk to the magistrates , Smith remained with his eyes fixed on the ground . Levi Harwood swung himself to and fro occasionally , and shot looks full of the most savage anger at his approver accomplice , his hands all the time being deeply buried in his breeches pockets , as if to restrain himself from some act of violence . Jones scowled fiercely forward , and Samuel Harwood looked more and more alarmed . When the reading of the confession had terminated , Levi Harwood exclaimed , though in a subdued tone of voice , " It is all false what he says , gentlemen , all of it . " The Chairman . — You had better not say now whether it is so or not . This is a very important piece of evidence against the prisoner Smith himself , and whether it affects anybody else is a matter for future consideration .
When the prisoners were about to be removed , Smith asked with an air of astonishment , if he was to be locked up as formerly . ' * Most certainly , " said the chairman . " What you have said is strong evidence against yourself . " Jones then , for the first time since the announcement of the confession , turned towards Smith , and , in a voice rendered hoarse by passion said , *« I hope you will get shot yourself some day for what you have said . " The prisoners were then remanded till next Saturday .
M . C . S . Grey , one of the private secretaries of Lord John Russell , who has served for a long period in the Treasury , has received the appointment of Paymaster of Civil Services in Ireland , lately held by Mr . Kennedy , one of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests . Sir James M'Gregor has resigned his appointment to the Medical Staff of the Army . —Globe . A man named Ogle Wallis , formerly a cornet in the Twelfth Dragoons , and who came into possession of £ 4000 two years ago , on the death of his sister , made a most murderous attack , on Thursday , upon the landlord and land lady of the Queen-square Tavern , in Bath , where he has who owsd
lately been residing . It appears that Wallis , a month ' s rent , was about to remove his portmanteau from the tavern ; upon which the landlord told him he must pay his rent first . Wallis then struck the latter with a stick , and almost immediately after pulled a razor out of his pocket , and commenced a deadly assault upon him . The landlady , hearing the noise , went to her husband ' s assistance , when the ruffian assaulted her also , and , after inflicting several wound 3 on her face and hands , made his escape from the house . He was soon afterwards apprehended , but as the landlord will not be able to attend to give evidence against him for some days , the prisoner has been remanded till Friday next .
The exportation of horses this season from Ireland to England has been unparalleled for a number of years . Mr . Dawson sold a lot of seventeen first-class hunters to Mr . Murray , of Manchester , for the enormous sum of £ 2300 , a price for a " lot" from one dealer to another without precedent in this country .
By The Franklin, United States Mail Stea...
By the Franklin , United States mail steamer , which reached Cowes yesterday , after a passage of twelve days , accounts from New York of the 5 th instant have been received . Two week ' s later intelligence had been received from California . The Sacramento city had not been destroyed by fire , as before reported . The steamer Southerner , and the barque Isaac Mead , had come into collision , when the latter « ank , and thirty-four persons were drowned . An alarming fire had broken out in Buffalo , but the extent of damage was not known . A letter from Hamburg , dated 14 th instant , states that the Ministry Stiive had resigned in a body , and that their resignations had been accepted by the King of Hanover . M . Lindemann , the chief burgomaster of Luneburghad been entrusted with the formation of a
, new Cabinet , which will be favourable to the line of policy followed by Austria . Last Sunday fortnight the Pope celebrated mass in the Basilica of the Vatican , and administered the communion to several noble persons of both sexes . The same day he admitted to a private audience a deputation of Encclish Catholics , who were presented to him by Cardinal Wiseman . The deputation , which was composed of the members of the English College and several other Englishmen , went to thank the Pontiff for elevating to the purple their old colleague and superior Dr . Wiseman . Pius IX . received them in a very gracious manner , and on their departure gave them separately the apostolic benediction .
Six persons convicted of murders , committed during the ltoman ltcpublic , were executed on the 9 th instant at Rome . The Roman troops alone kept the ground , and ltoman soldiers executed the sentence of the tribunal . The French troops were consignes . Five of the murderers confessed their crime , and admitted the justice of the sentence . Letters from Munchcn state that both Wurtemborg and Bavaria will henceforth again act hand in hand with Austria in the German question . The monarchs of both kingdoms are at Bregenz , conferring with the Emperor of Austria .

There is nothing so revolutionary , because there is nothing so unnatural and convulsive , as the strain to keep things fixed when all the world is by the very law of its creation in its eternal progress . —Db . Arnold .
The New Catholic Episcopacy. If We Welco...
THE NEW CATHOLIC EPISCOPACY . If we welcome the bull from Rome , reestablishing Catholic bishoprics throughout England , it is in the conviction that the time has gone by when such a measure could occasion any wellgrounded fear : at the present day , broadly speaking , we anticipate from it nothing but good . It is just . The Roman Catholics in England are so considerable in number , that London is reckoned to contain as many as Rome itself ; and their
position has been very inimical to right social or moral relations . Living in the faith that belongs to the past rather than the present history of England , those events which have become traditions for others , remain living wrongs to them . Although much social good , and , still more easily , much political good may be traced to the Reformation , towards the sincere and earnest Roman Catholic it was a flagrant wrong ; and to men of any faith it was so contaminated , in England , by bad motives , that it is a source of regret as well as
congratulation . Without undervaluing the popular reform movement in the English Churcb of the fifteenth century , it can never be forgotten that so far as the action of Government was concerned the English . Reformation was brought about to facilitate the wickedness of the English Bluebeard . A reformation in religion effected to
facilitate the cruel and brutal concubinage of that blackguard on the throne could never be cited with unmixed respect , never viewed with unmixed trust . But to the sincere Catholic , while it deteriorated the national faith , and acted the office of pander to the infamous voluptuary , it worked wrong and spoliation—on the churches where he worshipped , on the monastic institutions which he venerated , on
the firmly faithful whom he loved—his fellow-Catholics that stood by their faith . To the sincere Catholic it is to this day a huge national wrong , combining public revolution , private confiscation , profligate breach of religious vows , national pandering to crowned debauchery , and sacrilege . By the descendants and representatives of those who shared in the sacrilegious treason , he is held down in a state of subjection , civil and spiritual , deprived of that organization proper to his church which is not denied to the lowest and most idle order of Dissenters . The bull restores that organization , and places the Catholic Church on a footing of equality with other faiths in this country : therefore we say that it is just .
It is reasonable . In a country where every faith is permitted full expression , —where there is no national faith , but where there is a gradual and perceptible move towards a recognition of that broad and eternal faith in which special creeds are but parts , —it is only reasonable that one so illustrious in history as the faith which led Europe forth from the Dark Ages , the faith of Italy in her prime , of Northern Europe and of the crusades , should have its full and free type amongst us . As a dogmatic faith , the Roman Catholic stands on firmer ground than the Protestant 5 since it stands upon the hereditary rock of St . Peter , refusing to those
who have not administered its mysteries by Apostolical succession the faculty of meddling in the direction of its rites . The Protestnnt churchej have confounded the Apostles and the followers , giving to the latter as much authority as to the former , and thus permitting the Apostolic succession to abdicate . We hold with Francis Newman , that between absolute authority and absolute freedom of private judgment , there is no logical mean ; and that there is , therefore , no locus standi between Catholicism and Spiritualism . Now , there are amongst us great numbers of both those extreme doctrines , and up to this point , both have been denied their proper organization—Spiritualism
