This morning two men, named Murphy and Mullen, were arrested in tho Chapelizod Mills, near Dublin ; and three others were subsequently taken in Abbey-street. The police also seized in a house at Ballybough-rnad a quantity of "Greek fire" and materials and apparatus for manufac turing it. Eleven persons were arrested to-night, in a house in Portland-place, in the act, it is supposed, of holding a Fenian meeting. A warrant had been issued for the arrest of one of them, named Stack, an attorney's clerk. A meeting of the magistrates, gentlemen, traders, and farmers of the Ratbdowney petty sessions district, was held in the Coort•hoose, Ratbdowney, on Saturday, for the purpose of considering what .teps should be adopted with the view of preserving the peace of the country. There was a numerous attendance. The chair was occupied by Mr. Robert Fitzgerald, J.P. Resolutions were passed expressive of the confidence of the meet• ing in the power at the command of her Majesty's government to suppress any attempt at insurrection, calling on the government to quarter a company of solders in the unoccupied portion of the Donoughtnore union, and for opening a list for the enrolment of special constables. Upwards of 50 names were entered on the list. COMPULSORY EDUCATION MOVEMENT. A meeting of the citizens of Manchester, con vened by the Mayor, in accordance with an influential requisition, was held yesterday in the Town-hall, to consider the propriety of petitioning parliament in favour of the adoption of a measure to provide for the primary instruction of the children of the poorer classes, by means of local rates under local administration, with legal power, in cases of parental neglect, to enforce attendance at school. The meeting was one of the results of the in quiries and operations of the Local Education Aid Society, and the discussions at the recent Social Science Congress, which have tended to produce an impression that the indifference or inability of parents can only be met by legislation which shall empower local authorities to compel the attendance of children at free schools. The meeting was well attended, and the gentle men on the platform included amongst them representatives of both the educational parties which agitated the ques tion in Manchester 13 or 16 years ago—and who were known respectively as the supporters of the secular plan, and the promoters of the Manchester and Salford scheme for supporting primary instruction combined with reli gious teaching, both parties assenting to the agency of local ratio. . • ... —...—.,. Mr. Alderman BeNNErr, president of the FAlucation Aid Society, moved the first resolution, which was as follows : •• That in the opinion of this meeting it is desirable to make complete provision for the primary instruction of the children of the poorer classes, by means of local rates, under local administration, with legal power, in cases of neglect, to enforce attendance at school. " Dr. J. WArra seconded the resolution, which was sup ported by Mr. W. It. Callender, jun., and the Rev. Dr. M'Kerrow. _ _ . . . . .„..-... The Her. J. NUNN, of St. James's, Ardwick, rose to move as an amendment, " That this meeting, while feel ing deeply the necessity that still exists for bringing the lowest classes under the influence of education, is nut pre pared at present to adopt the bill of the Education Aid Society, but is of opinion that further investigations into theextent of educational destitution are called for." He believed that it could be proved that the bill was uncalled for, that it was disproportioned to the evil it had to re medy ; and that in its first part it was mischievous, and in its second impracticable. Mr. W. WARBURTON seconded the amendment, which was negatived by a great majority, and a petition in ac cordance with the resolution was adopted. CARDINAL CULLEN AND FENIANISH. His Eminence Cardinal Cullen, in his pastoral to the clergy and laity of the diocese, a lludes to the troubled state of the times and the mums in which it had its origin. As he observes, experience has shown that the promises held out by revolution have almost invariably ended in oppres4on iof the people and the triumph of despotism. In Ireland the people are not led away by these chimerical dreams, which in other countries have produced such disastrous ! consequences to religion and liberty. The cardinal tells us there are foreign emissaries among the people urging them to join secret societies, or : take part in revolutionary movements. But while recognising this source of danger his eminence, at the same time, sees no justification for the alarm which seems to has e filled the public mind. He speaks with the voice of knowledge as well as of authonty, and informs us that, though the people should be on their guard, there is no ground for the foolish panic of which the Grand Lodge has taken advantage to offer the government th. services of the Orange Maroons. And he remarks that these organs, which have circulated exaggerated reports of the state of this country, wire the most active in praising the resistance of fanatics orfools to lawfulauthority in other countries. His eminence expects the people to keep aloof from the preachers of revolution, and not to think of a collision with the constituted authorities. He sum marises the consequences of any attempt at violence— " Some property may be damaged, some lives lost, and some deluded young men condemned to perpetual servi tude, and doomed to a death worse than death itself." A resort to physical force would only " put money into the pockets of informers, and give SD occasion to those who indulge in Orange orgies to trample on the rights of the country and uphold Orange ascendancy." We have no fears that the people of Ireland will disregard the paternal admonition of the head of their church, and that no oppor tunity will be afforded the Orangemen to arm in support of " law and order."—Frermanis Journal. THE UTILIZATION OF CHURCHES.—MT. Hughes, M.P., presided last night at the weekly secular lecture at Surrey Chapel. The chairman said that he often re ! gretted so little use was made of places of worship between the Sundays. Whatever tended to raise the in tellect and unite people together was fitly housed there. He was sure that Christ was pleased io see houses built in his name so employed, and he hoped the present example would be generally followed. The Rev. Newman Hall then delivered a lecture written for the occasion, on the ' subject of the Alps, by Mrs. Newman Hall, which was listened to with great attention by upwards of two i thousand working people. ' The Ritualistic practices at two of the leading churches of the party In London are about to be brought to the test of the law, prosecutors having come forward in each case. The Ch;itenhani Examiner states that a movement to assist in testing the legality of fthesie prac. time has been oommeneed in that town. — .word. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 11, 1866.

The ..atteally unlooked-for news which I cited from the. ?MICA last night, that Maximilian, in- Moml of ):•eing on his way to Europe, had returned from °iamb& to Mexico city, is scarcely taken notion of in Paris.

THE LATE HANOVERIAN ARMY. BERLIN, Low. 10. lt is stated that Bing George has recently re solved to release the officers of the late HOZOVO- Wan army from their oath of allegiance, provided the Prussian government will continue to allow them their full pay. THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS. BERLIN, DEC. 10. In to-day's Bitting of the Chamber of Deputies the Minister of War brought in the military budget, and made a speech in which he said : "The resolutions of the liberal party contain much that is unimportant, but they also include many points that require the greatest deliberation, inas much as they might sow the seeds of future con• flicts between the government and the chamber. The government, therefore, would not allow itself to be prejudicially influenced by the adoption of the resolutions." The minister also opposed the motions of Herren Vaerst and Virchow, which de manded that the budget should only be provi sionally sanctioned by the Chamber. The resolutions, which had been drawn up at /a private meeting of the different sections of the liberal party, were paased by 165 against 151 votes. The proposal of Herr Weichenheim, that the Chamber should agree to the permanent expendi ture being fixed at 41,574,348 thalers this year, but at 118,201 thalera less in future budgets, was also adopted. The Minister of War having assented to this pro posal, the motions of which notice had been given by other deputies were withdrawn. The receipts, as well as the exceptionally extra ordinary expenditure, were then agreed to. AUSTRALIA, CHINA, AND JAPAN. (Via Trieste.) HONG KONG, Nov. 1. The French Admiral has sailed to the Corea, but has decided to defer active operations until the winter is over.

The resistance the pro posal met with merely led to its adjournment, but its realisation is approaching. A Marseilles paper already announces that the apartments of the Empress have been engaged at the Hotel de Rome, which the Empress of Mexico occupied, her Majesty having refused the accommodation at the Quirinal offered her by the Holy Father. Accord ing some accounts, the 18th of this month is fixed for the departure of the Empress from Paris." MISSING. —The following advertisement appears in an American paper:—" Left his home, the Hall of the Montezuma', a young man of feeble mind, a foreigner, an swers to the name of ' Maximilian,' and has an idea that he is a Mexican Emperor. It was noticed that his mind had been wandering lately, and it is feared his body has been doing the same thing. When last seen he was on the road to Vera Cruz, apparently in • hurry, making good time. Had on, when he left, a cocked hat, French peg top pantaloons, with • few French coins in the pockets, a short tail coat, and buttons, with the Mexican eagle on the taiL Any information concerning him will be thank fully received by his anxious friends.—Address (pre-paid), L.

DR. PUSSY ON CONFESSION. Dr. Posey continues to write upon this subject in the correspondenoe columns of the 2'intes, answering opponents at considerable length. He finds in the 26th Article a justification of his statement that the power of absolution remains with bad priests as well as good. To the question whether forgiveness of sins of which we hive true repentance is granted without absolution and con fession, he replies :—" I do believe that, when God does give such grace, He does forgive the sins, and I am per fectly at rest about the good men whom I have known and loved, and who never used oonfeasion. But they missed the authoritative remission of their sins ; they never had the comfort of hearing their Saviour's absolving voice, ' Thy sins be forgiven thee.' They had other graces. great grace ; but not the special gift of this ordinance of Christ. We are, too, in both ways, bad judges of ourselves. Men hold themselves forgiven, who have not the repen tance upon which God forgives, or think themselves unfor given who have it. An authoritative act, appointed by Christ, is something out of ourselves. We believe his , own most true word, ' Whose sins ye do remit, they are forgiven.' We believe, with the Homily, that absolu tion has' its own special graft, ' the forgiveness of sins.'" To another question he replies, "Our Lora and His Church give us at once the power to absolve and to retain sin. As I said in a former letter the occasions of 'retaining' sin among us would be very rare, because no one would come to us at all unless they truly rep. nted. But if we were to absolve one who had no real intention to forsake his sin, we should by absolving him only bind his sins faster to him, because we should be encouraging him not to repent, and so destroying his soul. We should be damning him and ourselves. In all we are acting by authority of Christ, as His ministers and representatives." The concluding portion of Dr. l'esey's letter treats of books of self-examination ; the wisest of which, he guys, are so framed that, while they would speak to a person's conscience who had committed a sin, they would be Untidy unintelligible to one who had not. lint in confession there is absolutely no need of this. " A pent n comes to confession because his conscience is troubled with some weighty matter.' Sins against the 7th Coronsialment are so weighty that anyone who had been guilty of them would, if he confessed at all, have them prominently in his mind. The only object of questions, if used at all, would be to enable a person to put into modest words what they knew not how to express. As for ruthless inquiries' they would be as needless es they would be wicked. S. G. o,' may know about books of self-examination. About confession, not having either used confession nor received any, he can, naturally, only speak upon conjecture. But, probably, he does not know—and parents and guar dians seldom know—at what early date practical know ledge of evil comes to boys. I believe that its the expe rience of those who have heard confessions that in eases where there has been sin against the 7th Commandment it has been the exception where sin, which has, perhars, desolated or blighted the subsequent life, has not been first fully known either at S or 12 years old, their first or their second school, or the date of their free intercourse with other boys. And whet has been specially miserable has been that almost uniformly sin was not known to be sin until it had a bold upon the utiliser. All this might be prevented by the elinplest, most modest questions, if parents were not afraid of the whole subject. They shrink from an imagined risk of con veying hurtful knowledge which Satan has taught long before, not for prevention, but in temptation. I have ventured so say this on this delicate subject because no one who does not already know to what I allude—no lady who reads your paper— can in the least understand it, or be supposed by others to understand it." THE PARIS ExIIIBITION.—In consequ'once of the numerous applications for assistance which arc being con. tinually made to the British Charitable Fund of I'aris by workmen who have been disappointed in obtaining em ployment at the Exhibition building, we are requested by the committee of that charity to caution workmen against going to Paris to seek such employment, unless they harve obtained beforehuni a positive engagement through per sons officially connected with the Exhibition. The com mittee of the British Charitable Fund positively decline to afford assistance of any kind to this class of aptlicanta. FOREIGN COMPETITION WITH 13ILITISH 111•NUFAC TCRES.—Mr. If. ('teed, an ironmaster, who is honorary secretary to the Associated Irontuasters of South Stafford shire, and Mr. W. Williams are now in Belgium, endea vouring to obtain by lOW meal investigation some informa tion upon the causes of the state of things which they describe in the following terms :—" In cotton we were dependent on another natiou for the raw mate vial; in the case of iron every description of raw material required in aid of its manufacture is the produce of our own soil. It is under oar feet. And yet with all this advantage, with the additional advantage, too, as we are told, of possessing the bestand most advanced skilled workmen in the world, Belgium and France have thrust us out of foreign markets to an extent which the public will hardly credit, and of which the trade itself is scarcely aware. They have almost monopolised in Russia the trade in all matter , of manu factured iron for railway purposes. They make the rail ; they supply the locomotive engines, the roofs for stations and the pillars that support them, end they build the carriages. Russia is now in the first stage of railway development For • long time to come she will be the best customer in Europe for iron in all its various forms of manufacture, notwith standing her present exceptional produce in that high claw material which even we ourselves occasionally buy of her for the manufacture of steel. And yet in this market, great and remunerative actually, greeter and more remunerative in promise, the Belgian and the Frenchman bold the prin cipal position, and are in a fair way of obtaining an absolute monopoly. A like state of things obtains in Spain. There, again, England is thrust aside, defeated by Belgium and by France. We cannot compete with their producers either in price or in continuousness and certainly of supply. Nor is this all. Even at home, even within our own boundaries, these industrious and pushing people are challenging owsupremacy, supremacy, and that not unfrequently with success. /n bar-iron, in rails, in engines for agricultural purposes , sad even in locomotives for railways they have latel been ob taining orders even in our own market here at home. How and why is this ? How is it that our position in so great an industry is slipping front under us ?" SUGGESTED PROSECUTION. JUStitia," Who writes a long letter to the Times on commercial morality, after dw ening on theOverend and Gurney's case proceeds " Can there be a doubt as to who are the criminals ? Are they not the members of the old firm of Overend, Gurney, and Co., and the first directors of the new firm of Over end, Gurney, and Co. (Limited)? They concocted and executed the whole scheme ; they deluded and misled the public ; they by their representations induced the public to become shareholders in the new conce•n, to throw their money away, to ruin themselves and their families, to become, in fact, the victims of • cruel and abominable conspiracy. These are the criminals. What is the crime? Obtaining money under false and fraudulent pretences-- swindling is the well-known, significant, and true &opens tion. What is the course that ought to be pursued with these men ? They ought on a criminal charge to be placed at the bar of the Old Bailey. If they be innocent, will be acquitted ; if guilty they will be branded W h a infamy, treated as disgraced and Oegraded criminals ; the law will be vindicaLteedd, and a terror held out to all who hereafter may wish to follow a course so mischievous mid so fraught with ruin and misery to thousands."
