GLADSTONE AND THE VATICAN Lord Acton has addressed to the Times a long letter ia substantiation of tho statements made by him in hia letter to Mr. Gladstone. Taking first his statement that tbe Vatican decrees assign to the Papacy no power over temporal concerns greater than that which it had claimed and exercised before Lord Acton recounts the facta of the controversy between King James I.

and the With regard to his assertion that the Papal authority had sanctioned the killing of heretics, His Lordship gives the original text of the authorities upon whom he relies. Pope Urban II. lays down the rule that it is no murder to kill excommunicated persons, provided it ba done from religious zeal only, and not from an inferior motive. In the Pontificate of Innocent the Fourth Lataran Council determined that tha Pope might dapos9 any Prince who neglected the duty of exterminating harasy, and might bestow his State on others. The same canon reappears in the 'Bccretdle of Gregory IX and St.

Thomas Aquinas declares that the loss of all claim to political allegiance is incurred by the fact of excommunic ition. Adverting to the case of Ridolfi, tha secret agent of Pius V. which he had cited in his previous extracts from his credentials and otner documents to sho that he was really accredited to accomplish the murder of Quonn Elizabeth, and that that was kiown to be tha und ibtad object of his mission. Pius assured the King of Kra-ica that he must not spare the Huguenots, becauso of offences against God; he required that heretics gUould be pursued until they were d-stroyod he declare that it was a cruel mercy to spare the impious; and a declared heretic was corsidered a public enemy, whom any private person might rob or kill. This maximwMS reaffirmed so late as after the middle of the lost century, when in a work oa moral thejlog, which became widely popular, it was laid down that a person lying under the ban of the Pope might be killed in any place.

In confirmation of his assertion that Gregory "XIII. approved the massacre of St. Bartholomew Lord Acton -gives many proofs. The remainder of his lordship's letter is devoted principally to corroborations of hia assertions with regard to the infinite subtlety with which members of the Roman Catholic Church elude the yoke of official uniformity in matters of opinion, and to the fa' lure in modern times of the Romish policy to prevail against eveu a Roman Catholic nation's ideas of its own political interest. Lord Arundell of Wardour has published a further letter, in which he says: Is the busbaar always to ba flourished in our faces But what would you say if the Pope decidedjthe contrary?" I reply that I feel sufficiently secure in my opinion that, as the Pope will never decide contrary to justice, right, and truth, so he will not condemn in the future, as he has not coadamaed ia the past, the honest and sincere guarantee of cucu rights.

Industbial Prostbation in Massachusetts. In a letter just received by Mr. Tallack, of the Howard Association, from General Chamberlain, governor of the Massachusetts State Prison (dated November S), tho latter remarks: "There exists a fearful stagnation in tha labour market here. Thousands of working men in this state are out of employment, and to-day skilled machanic3 are offering to work all the winter for one dollar per day, and no one to take their offar. It requires no prophet to ortell much distress and sufierinj? among our workmen this winter, and a consequent increase of crime.

Out of our 700 convicts, 400 are idle. Manufacturers toll ma that if they could have our work for nothing they could not offer employment, as there is no demand for their goods. Already men have acknowledged that they have committed crime in order to ba sent to prison." CORRESPONDENCE. HOTCCES TO OOBRE3POJJDBNT9.

Manchester, 24th November, 1874. To the Editor of the Manchester Guardian. Sir, Pardon me for calling your attention to a little matter which should have bean noticed earlier A few years ago, through tha enterprising management of the Queen's Theatre, Mr. Maplesoa and his opera company were again induced to maka visits in the course of their provincial tour to Manchester, and the result, which is clearly proved by the present series of performances being extended to twelve nights, has been a succos3, financially and otherwise, as it deserved. Tho prices of admission for the dress portion of the theatre were reduced to a much lower scala than they had beou at tha Kojal, in previous years; whilst the prices for the pit and gallery remained at 2s.

6d. and Is. as heretofore, thus giviDg the working class also a chance of hearing many fine operas, supported by first-class artistes, at a fair and tominal sum. Following in the wake of the Prince's Theatre management (who carry this absurd practice to a ridiculous extent), I am sorry to inform you that tha management of the Queen's are "now charging 3s. 6J.

for entrance to the pit, and 2s. for gallery up to within quaiter of an hour of the commencement of the performance, the consequence bain that a working maa paying his hard-earned shilling at 7 20 D.m. has to content himself with any dirty hole or corner whici may happen to be empty, and on full nights his chance is a wretchedly poor one. This is a move in tha wrouj direction, and cannot tend to improve the musical ideas of the working class. I hope the management will look into the matter seriously and at once, and opea their doors to the public at seven o'clock each evening or earlier if possible.

I remain, 3 Manchester, November 24. Pho Boxo Puhlu-o. THE PRICE OF BREAD. To the Editor of the Manchester Guardian. Sir, Your correspondent this morning proves that what I stated was correct, viz.

that we have not had the reduction in the price of the4lb loaf commeasurato with the reduction in the price of flour. He says that flour is down 16s. per sack, and that bakers have reduced the 41b loaf 2d. its exact equivalent. Wa paid 8d.

for a 41b loaf as the highest price, and are now paying 7d. a reduction of Id. only. If the baker will give ma the other Id. and make the 41b Jo if 6d.

he will do all I want, and exactly what your correspondent IV." says he ought to lf flour 18 down 16a- sacfc. I maintain that I ought to have a corresponding benefit, and so far I have had only half the reduction, the baker having taken the rest I am, A Bread Consumer. ACTION BY AN OLDHAM COMPANY AGAINST A MANCHESTER FIRM. To the Editor of the Manchester Guardian. Sir.

In your issue of to-day I find a report of a local law case under this heading, from which it appears to have been stated by counsel that Andrew Muir became bankrupt; and as this part of the report is erroneous, I have to ask permission to be allowed, as the trustee of hia estate, to correct the mistake, so that the public generally may not be under a wrong impression; the facts beirg that Muir filed a petition under the 125th section of the Bankruptcy Act, 1869, and at the meeting held thereunder the creditors resolved to liquidate the estate of the debtor by arrangement, and not in bankruptcy which proceedings are still pending; and as ha has' rendered considerable assistance in my endeavours to realise tha assets, I am induced in justice to him to say ttat I am unaware, and fully believe he haa never been a bankrupt as interpreted by the Act of Parliament I have before cited.

ANOTHER RITUALIST PROSECUriON. At the sitting of the Judicial Commit'ee of the Privy Council, yesterday, the caso of PurnM v. Rouyhton was heaid. This was a ease in which, un.ior letters of request from the Bishop of Chester to the official Principal of the Chancery Court of York, the Rev. Charles incumbent of St.

Margaret's Chapel, Toxteth Park, Lancashire, was cited to appear and answer to eeveral charges of offences against tha laws ecclesiastical, preferred against him by Mr. Walter Rouyhton, described as of Mannering Road, Sefton Park, gentleman. Thosa ffe nces, as set out in the articles, resolved themselves into three distinct offences (1) using lighted candles on the communion table during divine -service, (2) wearing certain vestments such copa and cha3uole as a matter of ceremony, and (3) elevating tho cons j-crated elements during the celebratiou of the Holy Communion in a ceremonial manner. In the Court below various objections were raised to the phraseology of theee articles on the part of Mr. Parnell on the ground that they had been drawn in such a way as to make what were really deductions of law appear as if they were allegations of fact, and were thu3 calculated to prejudica and embarrass Mr.

ParnBll in his defence. These objections were overruled by tho Official Principal of tbe Chancery Court of York, and it was from his decision on that point that the present appeal was brought. Their lordships gave judgment that the ruling of the Court below was upheld upon every point, aad tho appeal was dismissed with costs. THE BANKRUPTCY OF J. ESTCOURT.

IMPORTANT PROCEEDINGS. At the Bankruptcy Court, yesterday, an application was made to Mr. Registrar Roche on the part of the trustees of this absconding bankrupt's estate with reference to the dkposal of a large quantity of goods which had been found on the premises, and which were claimed by a variety of different classes of creditors. It appeared that tbe bankrupt carried on business as a packer and warehouseman at London Wall, and at tha time of his failure, in April last, Mr. S.

W. Biggs, of Kin-stroet, Cheapside, wos appointed trustee with Mr. John Routb, of Leeds, under the petition of Mr. Thack-lah, of Leeds, and who had found goods to the amount of 3,000. The bankrupt had large dealings with Manchester and Leeds firms.

Too course of business was that goods were seat from Manchester and elsewhere to the bankrupt, some of which were to be packed and sent abroad, and others warehoused. Tne bankrupt bad been mixed up iu business witi Georga Marriner, also a bankrupt, through whom he had pledged the goods, not daring to do it himself for feirof losing his credit. Mr. Baggs had reported to tho Court that the marks upon the goods in many instances had been obliterated or changed, and that it was almost impossible to identify tha different parcels of goods. No accounts have been placed upon the file, and creditors to the amount of many thousands of pounds have baen proved against the estate, and various attempts have been made at the different meetings to come to some arrangements whereby the assets shouli be distributed ratoably among tho different classes of creditors, but up to the present time all attempts ha i failed.

Advances had been obtained upon some of thj goods, and at a meeting in July last an informal offer was made by the holders of the orders to pay 500 to tha general assets of the estate if the general creditors would give up their claims on tha goods in the warehouse, an1 there as also a resolution passed to the eff tuat tha creditors agreed to a rateable dividend among ail tho creditors holding orders in proportion to tho amount of money advanced upon the goods, and eventually it was ngreed that Mr. Baggs should applp to the Court for diroc tionsto sell the goods with all coavenient speed, and nfter the sale to file tho account, distinguishing tha proceeds d-i-lived from each separate parcel of goods, and to piv t'ie nit procteds into a bank to abide the further of Hi i court. Hjs Honour was strongly of opinion that the receiver 8tould D9 indemnified by some of the creditors who claimed the goods. Ue did not see his way at present to make an order for their sale, because he might thereby prejudice the rights of people who had simply deposited their goods with the bankrupt. Tho only coarse ho could pursue was to let both motions stand over, so as to give an opportunity to the parties to establish ttieir claims at law if they could, but he hoped that some arrangement would be come to by whico.

the trustee who hai brtn appointed by the "general body of tha creditors should be rel eved of the expense of ke3pin on this large warehouse. The second motion was ordered to ftarid over to alio further evidonce to be adduced. His Honour characterised the case as one of gross fraud the part of Marriner and Eastcourt, but did not think that the tiustte, who had only carried out tha. directions of tbe Court, cuight to suffer. Tbe cass accordingly sto jd adjourned, with liberty to all parti-s to apply.

The subject of last night's lecture was the elements composing the substance of the earth, and after referring to th6 theories of Aristotle and other ancient DbilcsoDhers. the lecturar trarori tha wfc AUUUT through subsequent ages, and then described some of the modern discoveries. He also explained the methods by which a knowledge of most of the elements composing the sun and other celestial bodies have been obtained, and he illustrated his observations with a variety of chemical operations, and also some exhibitions of the spectrum analysis.

The lecture was listened to apparently with great interest all through, and the satisfaction of the audience was frequently testified by applause. MANCHESTER, WEDNESDAY MORNING, Nov. 2 J. BEUTEB'S TELEGHUM8.1 F-RANCE. Batonkk, Tubsday.

Guardian The question of reducing tho hours of working in factories, required by the new Act of Parliament, yesterday before the council of the Bradford Chamber of Commerce.

The council of the Chamber declined, however, to ta'-to any step in the matter, and thought it best to convene a meeting of spinners and manufacturers to consider tho question. THE TERRIFIC TYPHOON AT HONG KONG AND MACAO. The China papers to hand yesterday published lengthened details concerning the recently reported typhoon at Hong Kong and Macao on tha 221 and 231 of September. The North China Herald of tha 8th of October says: "About six o'clock the wind began to threaten, and shortly after eight o'clock wa3 blowing a strong gale.

The barometer kept raoidly falling, and tae wind increased frightfully in violence, raging arid howling at first, and after a time sounding like one continued peal of musketry, broken at intervals by artillery, as sudden and more violent gusts swept through the harbour and over the land. At times even above tho fierce howling of the wind could ba heard the pitiful cries of thousands vainly battling with the storm. Not a single ship in part escaped undamaged, and the casualties and loss of life tho latter estimated at over two thousand souls have exceeded anything which has ever before been upon record. The city, after the occurrence, presented the appearance of a town which had been besieged. In 'all directions were roofless and shattered houses, crumbling walls, naked poles and rafters standing out gloomily against tho leaden sky.

The roads were strewn right" and left with dibris, wreck of boats, and trees some of gigantic size torn up by the roots. The telegraph on the island and the marine telegraph between Hong-Kong and Saigon were interrupted; the gaspipes were torn up; dead bodies in all directions washed ashore; the flagstaff the Peak was seen leaning at an angle a sad signal to ships miles away of the ravages to which tho colony had been subjected. The tide materially increased the amount of the damage indicted, and to thj eastward a great deal of injury both to life and property was caused by tho height of the water, which on the plane at East Point was on an average about 4ft high. So strong wa the wind that the flames of the firs were blown out in instances like the light of a candle. A very curious circumstance is mentioned on good authority namely, that a large number of clocks in the colony stopped at the snme hour.

At the prosont moment all business is suspended, and an oppressive silence reigns over the colony, broken only by the clicking of the hammers of tl ose repairing the houses and other At Aberdeen, near the docks, lies high and dry on the land tha magnificent steamer Alaska, belonging to the Pacific Mail Company, and tho dead bodies of victims are being drifted ashore in all directions." Writing on the 21th of September, 'the Macao correspondent of the China Jfail gives tho following account of the disaster: most dreadful calamity has befallen this town. It is now a heap of ruins, and desolation is everywhere. On the oveningcf the 22d the wind steadily increased Irom the north, and at midnight the inner hir-bour began to be a scone of destruction, the junks losing their moorings, striking each other and boiog smashed to pieces, a Chinese gunboat capsized on the occasion, with three Englishmen on board. Ia the town the roofs of the houses began to move, and tilos flew about like hail. Suddenly the wind veered to the east.

Then the so wi ich had been rising gradually, increased to an eaor-mt us wavo, overleaping its usual limits, aad struck ia a body with tremendous force the whole course of the Praia Urande.Tlie water rushed into the houses, the quays were destroyed, the large granite stones hurled about, the guns of the batteries dismounted and borne like feathers on the infuriated waves, and junks were smashed against the buildings. In less than an hourthe work of destruction was accomplished every house was invaded by the water and battered down, tho spray flew over Government House, and houses to the southern extremity of tho Praia, which were reduced to a shapeless heap of stone and brick. The desolation of the town now reachei its acme. The crash of falling houses, the screaming of victims, people running to and fro ia tho streets, pursued bv the rushiDg water, the torriblo roar of the wind and of the sea, all this was something awful to hear or sea. Suddenly an ominous glare appeared in the heavens.

Fires had broken out in different parts of the town, and the flames rushed in hori.outal streams over the largest squares, devouring tho buildings that stood even at great distances in their direction. On this occasion, the loss of life was fearful. People had only to choose their death by water, fire, or the shock of falling buildings, but death was everywhere. Many persons who were hidden in tho furthest recess of their houses found themselves suddenly involved by tho flames and perished miserably. At last daylight dawned on this tremendous scene.

Macao wa3 not to be recog nised; waves sprang like infuriated lions on the smashed buildings, and it seemed uncertain if the very ground had not gone down. Towards three o'clock the fire was subdued, and the sea had returnsd to its wonted bod, but, alas Macao was no more what was to be seen a few hours ago. The gunboat Tejo escaped most marvellously nearly unhurt. Tho man-of-war Principe Dom Carlos was carried twelve miles inland and is now stranded in a riea field. The crew escaped by a miracle.

The gunboat Camoens was also carried inland to a great distance, and is baliaved to be a hopeless wreck. To give an idea of the extent of the loss in native shipping in the Typa harbour, in the beginning of the typhoon there were 000 junks, after it only 14 were found. Corpses 6trewed the banks everywhere; wrecks wero to be found in the most extrordinary locations. Tho native villages near Macao have been vept away. Typa and Colowan are no mora.

The loss of life tt-ere is considered to exceed parsons. In Macao it is perhaps greater. STREET TRAMWAYS AND CARS. Last evening Mr. J.

H. Lynda read a paper on "Street Tramways and Cars," before the members of the Sojiuty for the Promotion of Scientific Industry, at tha Room of the Society, Mount-street. Mr. R. Leaks presided, and there was a numerous attendance.

Mr. Lykdb, in the course of his paper, which was illustrated by drawings and models, said it wis evident that tramways should bo construe ed in such a manner as to avoid t.e necessity of constant supervision and repair. In order that this condition might be fulfilled it is necessary thit the stability of the foundation of tha tramway should be exactly similar and equal to that of the pavement of the Etrcet; that the rails should be supported upon imperishable material; that no mechanical fastenings should bo introduced, or if they are indispensable, that they should bo as few and simple as possible; that the rail saould ba maintained exactly level with tha pavement of the Etreet adjacent to it in order to avoid danger or accident to the ordinary traffu; that the pavement adjacent to the rails should be cipabls of easy repair that the grooves should be as small as )s-sible, and the rails narrow. Some of the mathods that have been devised for ths construction of tramways wore then reviewed; these being divided into two classes viz. those in which the rail is supported upon chairs placed at intervals, and those in which the rail is supported by a continuous longitudinal bearing.

The tramways instanced were thosa of Leads, Sheffield, Bristol the early American lines, and those first laid in London and Birkenhead, Liverpool, Southport, modern Loudon, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Southport, and compared with the conditions already laid down, the various defects in each were pointed out. The paper next discussed the attempt which had been made notably in Madras to supersede timber sleepers by tha use of cast iron. It was not probable, however, that suc'i a light casting as that proposed would bear the strain or the heavy loads that are constantly passing in Manchester and Liverpool. Some of the objections to this system were pointed out, and another system of continuous bearin-' which bad been recently devised was explained. The rails of a tramway should be of steel, the slight extra first oat being more than compensated for by tho greater durability.

The question of points, crossings, switches, was next deilt with. A very important item in the economy of tramways was to keep the track clean, which is generally acconplished by hand labour and cots ti large amount annually. The continuous asohilta foundation system would not exceed 3,400 per mile, single track. The paper then reviewed the question of cars and motive power, which, until the use of other means is permitted by the Government, must bs horseflesh a system which is very expansive. Exoeri-ments were, however, in progress for adapting a new motive power, but at present no opinion could ba formei of the practibility of the scheme.

Little need ba sail of the commercial prosperity of the tramways. Wherever they had been introduced they had been success, even in iheir mosf imperfect state. In the course of a discussion which followed the reading of the paper, Mr. Councillor Bowers (Salford) said he bilieved it was fortunate for Manchester and Salford that they had not bungled into some of the schemes already laid down. Mr.

Alderman Hetwoou said he spoke on behalf of the Manchester Corporation in relation to the construction of tramways. To his mind it was not so much a question that tramways should repay themselves, as that the traffic of the city should be regulated. Mr. Alderman M'Kerrow (Salford), Mr. Councillor S.

Booth, Mr. Councillor C. Walker, and Mr. Faulkner continued the discussion.
