FATHER OAVAZZI'S SIXTH ORATION YESTERDAY IN THE PRINCESS'S CONCERT unit feather awl raw an image of the winking Madonna, fur luck, or robs and plunders in a hat shaped like a bee-hive with a cross is the top of it, and calls it a tiara. (Cheers and laughter.) A pair of apostolic keys thrust under the nose of the victim are found quite as efficacious as a brace of pistols to make folks stand and deliver. What matters it that the bands of Passatore are only native outlaws, driven to the sad trade of robbery by the forcible estoppege of every honest industry, and the crushing and withering effects of priestly dominion ; while the bands which the other brigand has brought to act on the country arc transalpine riolatorsof international law and regimented aliens who rob in uniform ? The French gang, with the gallantry of their nation, are content to work as amateurs, but the Austrian footpads insist on their share of the spoil, and go halves with the priestly taxgatherer, the Friar Tuck of Italy. Can this atrocious farce go on in the eyes of civi lised mankind ? No; by the God of justice 'l. The end is at hand. The doom of the house of Hapsburg and of the popedom hastens to its final catastrophe with swift and precipitt.e caducity. Broken and bankrupt both, they have both outlived the means of their respective livelihood, and as they were equally lovely in their lives, so in their death they shall not be divided. The crash ' is inevitable. The whole human race is preparing to clap hands on their ' joint and associated downfal. Hear ye not the ill-sup pressed throes of their agony and the death-rattle in their throats ? Are not the symptoms of their dis,olution, the moribund groan of their decrepid senility, visible and audible to mankind? The funeral toll oi St. Stephen's belfry i• re-echoed by every steeple in broad Bohemia, in Hungary, in the cathedrals of Lombardy, and the great hcU of the Capitol begins to swing in sympathetic vibration. Bayonets and bankruptcy, bayonets and bigotry, the changes have been rung to the disgust and abhorrence of the whole family of man. Prussia, for very shame, must shake off the pestilent connexion; even Turkey. tired of being the common gaoler of Christendom, asserts the higher I manliness of Mahotnetanism, and taunts us with the lost I pion, of Godfrey and lion-hearted Richard. Free and in dependent Amenca had by the majestic organ of Daniel Webster expressed the full scorn of the western hemisphere for that wretched Russian donkey, Joseph of Hapsburg, the Romulus Augustulais of the holy Roman empire. (Chaves.) To live and reign by the grace of God and Cos sacks is a contemptible line of livelihood, but the kindred existence of the popedom is reduced to expedients of still more despicable turpitude. The quackeries of miraculous imposture are the fitting concomitants and appliances of a system of which the ration crutches are the crapulous kranconi in Turin, the traitor Bonney, in Switzerland, and (that transparent Tartuffe) Montalembert, in France. (Cheers.) • " TUE CANON LAW AND PAPAL USURPATIONS." The usual concourse of exiles and patriots has re ceived a graceful embellishment in the presence of ,! ladies, attracted not less by the sympathy for brave men, than by the exquisite beauty of Italy's lan- pure, set forth by the splendid delivery of the spcaler. The House of Commons was in great force, and we recognised the members for Dublin, for West Surrey, and for Northamptonshire among the audi tors. The enthusiasm which fur two hours pervaded the assembly, and which the vigorous declamation of the orator never suffered to flag for a moment, found frequent utterance in the most clamorous explosions of applause. Though the notes of our reporter arc as copious and faithful as the rapid elocution of the father would permit of, we despair of conveying any thing adequate to the effect of his marvellous out pourings. It would require a regular staff of steno graphers to put the public in possession of what may be considered a continuation of the pending debates in our legislature, with the exception that the key note of the strain is far loftier, and the eloquence of a much higher order than what the "gallery has to deal with. The opening was a sketch of the humble attitude ' of the Roman hi-hops under the Roman emperors, when Felix, Victor, and Leo, wore their modest mitres, and Irtemeus vied with Tertullian in glori , fving the exemplars - docility of contemporary Chris tians, under the rude rule of the temporal autho rities. Even the imperial mandate, by which multitudes of monks were sandled as wailiers and sent to guard the frontier against barbarian inroads, met with faint murmur, but full submission. The mitotic interests were paramount. The church was a community within the general control of the state, and was nothing more ; but the enemy of mane kind tried on the mystic body of Christ the experiment which had failed it, signally in the deaert. The tempter came over the Alps with the Gallic l'epin ; he showed from a pinnacle of earthly power and aggrandisement the king doms of this world, and pledged himself to secure their homage if, falling prostrate before God's adversary, " Christ's vicar" should adore him. The sacrilegious bar gain was struck ; the ark of the Lord was placed in the temple of Dagon ; the bishop. of Rome, who had over and over again suffered death sooner than offer incense to Pagan idols, fell into the palpable snare of Satan ; and the hand that bore on its finger the brightiwt of sacerdotal gems in the " ring of the fisherman" was outstretched with scandalous avidity to barn a fatal frankincense on the altar of secular ambition. A visible change fellon the papacy. The gory crown of martyrdom was uvehanged for the glittering tiara. Swell ing with the pride :not pump of satanic inflation, Boniface VIII. having foully dethroned his still tieing predecessor Celestine V., hum nu the world with his blasphemous bull , I nam Sarteltsitt, and laid his monstrous mandate on man kind, invols lag the human rare in sacerdotal serfdom. By one fell swoop lie abrogated the authority of kings witlua their &faintest., of magistrates within the circle of their attributions, of fathers within the sacred precincts of their household. Popes became the arbiters of universal sove reignty, bishops bearded monarchs, and priests lorded it over the domestic hearth. Legislation quelled before the newborn code of clerical command, which, iu the slang of the dark ages, was called CZUIOII law. The arbitrary com pound of fraud and forgery assumed the title of decretabs, sod was first compiled by isidorus Mercator, enlarged by Amadeus* of Lures, and finally licked into shape by a Bologntse monk, Gratbui, whose name it henceforth bore, and whom I, as a citizen of Bologna, I devote to the merited execration of Europe. The principle which pul -1 lutes every page of this nefarious imposture is that every haman right, claim, property, fnuseltiose, or feeling, at vary awe with the preshaninance of the popedom, was ipso facto, inimical to heaven and the God of eternal justice. In virtue of this pn•posterous prerogative, universal manhood became a priest's footstool, this planet a huge game pre , serve for the Polley individual shouting. The finger of Borgia, fresh from the poison cup, could trace a meridian on the globe, and partition America between the rival bribery of Portugal and Spain; nor was it only the un tutored Indian who was thus handed over to slavery or slaught-r, but in the midst of European monarchies the same insolent principle was haughtily asserted. The adversary of the temporal Tiara was cursed in all the inalislittory moods of the Vaticatt's viru lent vocabulary. The almighty ruler of the universe was dragged into ignoble co-partnership with the besottisl administration of 4.1 paltry principality; dis gust at its brutal misgovernment, hostility to its hideous honest antagonism to its abhorred tyranny is ringed in the category of crimes ; you, gallant men who thnafte this hall are the criminals of canon law ; you dared to have a country—(ehms).- kindred, home, and native land, pa dansl to dream of the damnable d,-lesions, for getting canon law ! Do I not glory in being your en tiansgresaw ? Does not the mother who bore me in the 11.1.0111 of Bologna bless God for her exiled son, bless God that she gat , birth to no renegade from Italy, no accom plice or approver in her degradation, no saccislotal trader in her downfall, no priestly plunderer grown bloated on her wrong.. (Thunders of applause.) The Father went into the details of canonical showed how the Pandects and Codex of Ju•ainiatt were superseded by clerical bye laws; how Inneilotto and the famous Clementine code set aside the jurisprudence of mcditeval tribunals ; how the right of asylum in churches and monasteries, at first a refuge kola feudal tyranny, became perverted into a shield fur common robbers and murderers, and a source of priestly peculation; how the clergy claimed exemption from the ordinary judicature of the land, and ran riot in the impunity of consecrated delinquency —nll under the sanction of canon law. How, as light dawned on the various coon tries of Europe, the atrocities of this de- I basing system were by the laity indig nantly scouted, and the nuisance everywhere abated save in the fag end of the Italian peninsula and in the stereotyped stupidity of Rome. The speaker thereupon made a ludicrous exposure of the ignorance of Mr. John O'Connell when meddling with the Piedmontese question in the House of Com mons, showed the utter imbecility of that juvenile lawyer's appreciation of international rights, and de monstrated the inalienable character of legislative sovereignty which the court of Rome had the absurd pretension to regulate within the precincts of an in dependent foreign country. The plea of a convention put forth by this enlightened laybrother was either a mere secular agreement between two despotic powers, and ceased to bind when the absolute monarch who bargained away his people's privileges had vanished, while the people who had been thus sold into bondage repudiated the unnatural transfer, and in free parliament made laws under a constitutional king, or else the convention was a purely spiritual transac tion, and then it fell to pieces from its intrinsic rot tenness. Lord John Russell had taken a statesman's view as well as a lawyer's of the papal interference in the legislative functions of Piedmont, and rightly stigmatised Franzoni's conduct to the dying Count Rosa as a ferocious absurdity: but churchmen of that stamp will mingle mischi4 with their mumme ries. and the machinery of canon law in their hands can be made to work miracles of malignity. With what delight did this unfeeling bigot witness the pangs of the pious partner of the dying minister who, with her four children, surrounded his bed of agony: but his machinations have been visited ou his own head—the kingdom has spewed him forth ; and the widow of Count Rosa sees secured to her children the rich inheritance of a nation's gratitude. (Cheers.) • The Father expressed his hearty concurrence in what had fallen from Roman catholic lips in the British legislature as to the wide and palpable dis tinction between the universal church of Christ and the corrupt court of Rome. He would enforce and proclaim aloud the disseverance. The gospel of for giveness was not more at variance with the Dra conian decretals of the late Gregory or the inquisi torial oppressions of the felon who has succeeded him. The Vatican Palace was the court of Caiphas the high priest, in the precincts of which Peter had no sooner got entrance than he denied his master. It is from that court, and not from the church of God, that insolent and offensive bulls issue, as did the words of blasphemy from the mouth of the great beast of Revelations. It is from that court that has emanated the late usurping document which England tramples wider foot, and blessings on her for such scornful defiance of the common disturber of Christen dom! lint perhaps it was after all but a trading peculation. We all know that rosaries, and par dons, and briefs, and rescripts. a few cameos, and plenty of indulgences, are the sole financial resources and produce of the territory . cumd by papal misgo vernment. It sends a specimen of its wares to your oecumenical exhibition, a rampant a 'id rabid specimen, and accompanies the invoice with samples of native handicraft in the manufacture not only of mock Roman pearls equal to the genuine, but of 13 live bishops. hoping the specimen may tempt ulterior de mand for such ingenious fabrications. (Laughter and cheers.) The speaker proceeded to arraign the liberal press of France for the levity of its strictures on the " Papal Aggression." The French are incapable of a serious emotion, or they would feel the importance to England of the present movement, worthy of the great and thoughtful nation in which it occurs and caused by no trivial alarm. Let France look to her own condition ; by what insidious arts and persever ing craft has she not been dragged down from her social and European position to be a mere instrument of papal tyranny abroad with a Roman expedition 4 i istsrissr" in full progress at home. Here began a splendid and highly poetical description of the great Norwegian whirlpool culled the Maelstrom, buoyant on whose circling eddies the ship of France was yet visible, though every hour sucked closer and closer into the central vortex,where it wasdoomcd to be engulphed and disappear. Such was its present position with reference to the papacy ; was not the hits h vessel sailing beyond the influence of this ' dread phenomenon warranted in crowding all sail to keep still farther aloof from the focus of destruction? England sees the degradation of its neighbour, sees the operation of priest-craft, and sniff' , the pestilen tial odour of the Vatican in the breeze that is wafted o'er the channel. England instinctively feels that these foreign bishops bode no good tither to her spiritual or tem poral coucerns. They come in flagrant violation or evasion of British laws: they enter not at the door, but, robber wise, by the window—emissaries of a power which, like the " old man of the mountain," whose name is given to assassins, sends forth its satel lites, if not to poignard kings, certainly to strangle the liberty of nations that are free; to act as a re mora to the onward march of civilisation ; a clog to progress a drug on the social whcel,revolving in its joyous gwations. Discord has already been the first result; blood has been shed at Birkenhead. What heeds the court of Rome the social evil of her handi work ? She seeks the pomp and pride of her dele gates, reckless of consequences to the land they mvaile. Wherever there is wealth to gain, whether from the imbecility of her votaries when alive, or at the pillow of dying opulence, her agents are at hand —speculators when they are not spies. Men of England, bless your Queen for repelling in the face of Europe these skirmishers of the forlorn hope of a foreign power. (Cheers.) THE "mow TAX.—On Friday a public meeting was held in Newcastle, at which retolutiont condemnatoiy of the window duty, and a petition to parliament praying for its abolition, were unanimously adopted.—Gateshead Obaaree►. THE THERGOLAND MURDER.—SESPECTED FRA THICHIT.—Siace the inquest was held, circumstances have come to light which have induced Mr. Superin tendent Green, of the Bern,kv police, to apprehend John Firth, a younger brother of the deceased, ou the charge of murdering him. The superintendent has found some very strong circumstantial evidence against the prisoner, which was to be adduced at the adjourned inquest appointed to be held on Thursday at Wortley. The de ceased bad contracted very dissipated habits, and had been a source of grief and shame to his parents. The accused brother, John Firth, is about twenty-four years of age. He was employed at the Victoria Colliery, and considered a highly respectable youth. His life and character were irre proachable, and no motive can be aligned fur the perpetra tion of the horrid deed. The inquiry washrought to a close on Saturday evening. In consequence of the evidence of the blacksmith at the Victoria Colliery, .. , William Si mpson, the ..

THIS DAY. Bier= KNIGPIT BRUM. RE OXFORD AND SALISDURY DIRECT RAILWAY COMPANY. WINUINO-UP ACTS. The Vice-Chancellor gave judgment in this caw, which was argued before Christmas, and also at the beginning of the term, by Mr. James Parker and Mr. Bird for the peti tioner, and Mr. Bacon and Mr. Smythe for the respondent. 'f he petitioner stated by his petition and affidavit that he was an allottee of shares in the above Company (which was provisionally registered), and had been sued at law for a debt of the Company. In opposition to the petition affi d erits were filed denying that the petitioner was an allottec, and stating that the action was brought by collusion, to give colour to the present petition, the real object of which was alleged to be to übtain for the projectors of the scheme repayment of expenses which they had no right to throw upon the subscribers to the project. For the respondent the case of the Harbor - nigh and Watlington Railway Com pany, decided by Lord Cranworth, and reported in the Law Times, was referred to. His Honour now said that he had considered the ease, *lnd was unable upon the affidavits to atativry his mind that the petitioner had any title to present the petition. 144 honour also thought that, independently of this, there was not shown to be any ease rendering it ne cessary or expedient to make the onler sought, and that justice would be neither advanced nor aided, but that much mischief would result from acceding to the application. The petition was dismi.ssed with costs. IRELAND. DUBLIN, FIB. S. The vice-regsl question, and the extension to Ire land of the ministerial measure on the hierarchy (pwstion, arc likely to arouse an immediate agita tion throughout this country. On both these points the people of Ireland have been taken by surprise, and a momentary pause might be expected, but the popular organs are not likely to allow any such hiatus to take place. Already Mr. John (lC:onnell has come out with an address to the catholics of Ireland," urging them to meet and petition, with out a moment's delay. He suggests the following form of petition : We, the undersigned inhabitants of pray —, your honourable house not to permit the minister to out rage religious liberty, civilization, and common sense, by passing any measure interfering with religious doctrine, discipline, or practice." Ile appeals most earnestly to the Roman catholic clergy to bestir themselves, and thus concludes: Must humbly, most respectfully, and with all the earnest ness of my heart and soul, du L solicit them to give their aid to au desirable, al imperatively neces:ary a movement. If it fail to influence a hostile and bigotted majority in the British parliament, it will at any . rate show to Europe and the world that the love of liberty is undying in our hearts, and that we are on the watch for every opportunity to vin dicate and secure it. Petition, then—petition simultane ously and immediately. Every town, every county. every parch, can have, and surely will have, its petition, and in the face of those petitions no Irish member who has any hope from popular support will dare to act the part of a traitor and a slave, by supporting, or abstaining from oppos ing, the renegade minister in hi, unholy crusade. Mr. Henry Grattan takes up the subject of the Viceroyalty in his usual energetic manner. In au address to the people of Dublin, he says: Be warned in time—follow the advice of your friend—be up and stirring—do not part with one iota of Irish rights— keep what remains—keep it like men, and more may yet be added to it. Remember 'B2—remember the Volunteers — that is the glorious, pious, and immortal memory—keep to that principle-100:000 armed Irishmen and 200 pieces of cannon, acting for the constitution and within it, made the British minister tremble. The man who did that, and who assisted in getting freedom for Ireland, has left me to tell you now to uphold her. Do so as you value your duty to God and your country, and may the Lord defend the right. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL. OXFORD, FEB.

TUE BLOOD OF A MURDEREJL—The g ex traordinary statement is made in a letter from Ystad, in Sweden, dated the 28th ult. :—" This morning having been fixed fur the execution of a journeyman butcher, named Mammon, and a woman named Botilla-Milsdotter, for having murdered the husband of the latter, a vast number of persons of all ages and both sexes, and especially of pea sants in their national costumes, arrived last evening, and bivouacked in the town all night. Although for upwards of 60 years no execution had taken place in the province, and fur upwards of eight years none in all Sweden, it was not so much curiosity which attracted the multitude, as the desire to swallow a drop of the blood of the criminals at the moment it should spurt from beneath the axe of the execu tioner; it being a popular belief in Sweden that it renders the weak atrong, cures all aorta of maladies, and secures a long life. When the scaffold was erected the people assembled round with cups, glasses, bowls, some even with large saucepans to catch the blood. The soldiers had the greatest difficulty in forming and maintaining an open space. The two culprits, who were very penitent, arrived ow the ground at seven o'clock, and after listening to the exhortations of the priests, gave themselves up to the exe cutioner. The woman was first beheaded, then the man. The anxiety of the spectators was very great. and the moment the man's head was severed they broke through the line of soldiers. The soldiers to drive them back lustily employed the butt ends of their muskets (the muskets were not loaded), and a desperate conflict ensued. At last the crowd surneeded in reaching the scaffold ; but in the meantime the police had placed the bodies in a cart, and had sent them off under a strong escort of cavalry. They had, however, to take the precaution of removing by spades and pickaxes the portions of the road on which drops of blood happened to fall, to prevent the people from lapping up the blood. When the bodies had got fairly off, the crowd gradully dispersed; two hundred of them were grievously injured, and a greater number had received severe contusions." A VERDICT OF BELO-DE-Sr.—On Sunday night last a young man named David Morg an committed suicide, by hanging himself in his father's house in the town of Pont-y-pridd.

There was always some spilt, and there were overdrawing., both of which were taken to Dacia's corner, where it was made into molasses. I have done it myself. I saw about 31 tons of sugar on the west Moor before this seizure. It was in original bap. Mr. Wickes 2114 Mr. Hearne desired me to cut open those bag., turn them out, and put the sugar into casks. It was both Mauritius and Manilla sugar. 1 borrowed a knife from a fellow labourer, Churchill, to cut open the bags. The knife was lust in shovelling in the sugar. Some of the sugar was in gunny bags. Some of it was light and some dark. The light was turned out first. By accident 1 turned out some dark sugnron a pile of the light, upon which the foreman swore at me and told me to put it into the bags again. Mr. Wickes was there urging me to get the work finished. Mr. Bales and Mr. Randall pawed clown the Line at the time. I then heard that the customs were coming. A cooper named Enncrsly was employed to leaden up the casks. As soon as we had tilled up a cask, Ennenly headed it up. Ile filled up seven or eight casks, and took them to be weighed in the west floor, nut where the goods were weighed by the customs. Mr. Hearne took down the weights. I did not we anything more of the casks after. When I was in the service of the company there were printed instructions hung over the door of Mr. Bales 's Mike in the eastern docks. There was It partition be-1 fore them, and you must go through a door or opening of some sort to see them. I never read them. Neither was I required to do so. Cross-examined by Sir F. Kelly—There were two or three casks of light sugar, and two or three of dark. They were not separated into particular qualities, but the colours were kept separate. The sugar was good mer chantable, saleable sugar. By the court—lt Win in original bags, just as imported. Cross-examination continued—Some of them did not ap pear to have been opened. There were nearer thirty than six bags. I do not know to what cargo they belonged. As many as seven or eight casks were filled. There we re some Manilla bags. Ily the court—The bags were Manilla bags. Cross-examination continued—l was in the employment of the dock company twelve or fifteen months. Since I left them I have been all the time under the Customs, and have been receiving 15s. a week. I communicated SN ith the Customs before I left the dock company. It might have been a fortnight before, but I think not a month. I went voluntarily to the Customs. I know Davis's corner very well. It was well knows throughout the docks that that was the place where sugar was converted into draininga. Everyone who went to that part of the docks must have known it. There were three or four Custom-house officers on duty there, and they were about the warehouse from time to time, and to the best of my belief had liberty to go where they pleased. I did not assist in taking away the sugar spilled at the loop-hole to Davis's corner. I was assisting in dragging up the bagsthrough the loop-hole. The broken bags were not sent to me to fill. I decline to name any other person who was engaged in removing the sugar which was spilled. The filling of the seven or eight casks lasted about three hours and a half. It began about twenty minutes after twelve, after our dinner. This was done on the housing ground on the west floor. There might have been seven or eight persons employed in doing it. (The witness pointed out the housing ground in the model.) Re-examined—Davis's corner is very dark, and a person must be there for some minutes before he can see. I never saw any goods stowed in the hole at Davis's corner, hut good! would be stowed on each side and just on opening to get into the corner. By the jury—The sugar taken from the Bulah to Davies corner was taken away in the open day. There was no secrecy about it. I don't know whether the bags had been sampled. James Scott, examined byMr.Wilde—l was !labourer in the London Docks for six years. I left about the middle of the year. I was discharged for telling the truth. The Customs have maintained me since. I recollect when the seizure was made I was at work on the north floor in the eastern dock. I was at the Rigger. I know Panting and Donovan; they were there too. I assisted in hauling up sugar. I don't know what sort of sugar it was. I recollect in a few days after assisting again in hauling up two casks of sugar. I assisted in putting the 28 casks of sugar that were seized. Some came from the west. Seven came from the west, and seven or eight came from the north. Mr. Wicks, Mr. Hera, Mr. Randal, and Mr. Wiles were there. I had a hand in filling the casks that came from the upper floor. The sugar in those cases came from bags in the same way. I was dismissed for speaking the truth to Mr. Chandler and Mr. Hussey. Cross-examined by Mr. Peacock, Q.C.—Before the casks were filled the sugar was put out on the floor. I can't say where the sugar came from. It came out of bags, but I cannot say what country it came from. I have carried several chests up stairs for the customs. I get 15s. a week. I h ave ea rned 37.5. or &a a week at the docks. I hail 2s. 9d. a day from the dock company. I told the Customs what I tell now, and the y dismissed me there and then. - ••- , ---maneral—What did you tell them about the !.per '4l charg• Bulsh ? Witness—l told them what I said now. He Ponting examined by the Solicitor-General-1 was in the employment of the Doek Company as foreman about seven years, and was dismissed without any cause. I remember the customs officers coming to the eastern docks. I had boxes of sugar from 1849. They came from the John Fairman. I was delivering officer. Ido not know whether the two boxes were excess of cargo or short delivery. The rest of the cargo was exported. I told Mr. Wicks that there were two boxes in excess, and asked him what I was to do with them. He said " Let them alone. It is always handy to have a few boxes by us." When the offi cers came in the month of March, and were making their search, I asked Mr. Wicks again what I had better do with the boxes. I said as they were excessive cargo the Custom house officers would likely seize them. Mr. Wicks told me to get a man on whom I could rely and sand them to the upper fbcr. I got the man in consequence of this. His name was Charles Steward, and took the boxes by a circui tous route. I saw then hoisted sp Vs the north door by • - 1 ;1 : 1, •t li:4AlidSht.qA)
