The King is said to have shared speedily and suitably settled by the Chamber of this regret. He felt that all such expenditure and Deputies, without discussion of the names of the such outward manifestations, at this particular persons to whom the money is to be accorded, or moment, were out of place, and he endeavoured to the amounts they are severally to receive." I dissuade the municipal authorities of this, his AUSTRIA. . present capital, from giving ',him this pompous VIENNA, Nov. 27. welcome. Contrasted with the overwhelming enthusiasm and heartfelt sincerity of the reception which the King and royal party met with at Venice and throughout the Venetian provinces, Floren tine coldness must have been painful enough. Al no moment was a heartfelt shout of welcome heard running through the crowd, neither on the King's arrival, nor when he :missed among the dense mass of people in the streets, nor when, as is the usual custom, he showed himself on the bal cony of the Pitti palace. A few, a very few cheers, andthe waving of some handkerchiefs, were the only manifestations of popular feeling. Early on the morning of his return there were to be seen placarded in every direction along the Via Maggio, close by the Pitti palace, the fatal words " Lissa and Custoza," in large letters. They were of course intended as an insult, or at least as a reproach, to the King. The police, however, had time to erase the unseemly words long before the royal personages traversed the street just named.

The Japan Herald of September 29th, announces that the Tycoon died at Osisea about three weeks previously, of a disease resembling dropsy unknown in Europe, but to which Japanese are liable, and called by them Kake. It adds : lie was very inert by nature, and although sympathy is felt for one dying so young, &adjust as family endearments were commencing with him, yet for the good of the country a much more able man was requisite. This we are led to expect in his successor, Stotsbaahi, for whom the Gorogio have unanimously voted and mad e known their choice to the Mikado—and Stotsbashi is now in full charge of the government. We have further information to the effect that three powerful dainsios Iwsmi, Bizen and Inshin, whose territories are between Kioto and Nagato-- , - and who hesitated to join the late Tycoon—have not only sent in their adherence to Stotsbashi, but also a contingent to aid his cause. The official promulgation of Stotbashi's appointment is not yet made, owing to much time being neoess.u7 for going through preliminary forms. There was a rumour that he hail been murdered, but it is denied on high authority. The Japan Times says : Our latest newt from she seat of war in the Inland Sea induce us to hope that we are approaching the beginning of the end. We must premise that there is now no doubt whatever of the truth of the reports we have lately, from time to time published of the progress of the war in the South, as the Gorojiu themselves have officially acknow ledged the defeat of their chief. But we have since bad news whinklearlys to believe that a peaceful solution of the difficulty may yet be possible. The Prince of Kanga, one of the most important daimios of the empire, has offered his services as mediator between the contending par ties, and has made to Chosen overtures for an honourable peace. In reply, the Prince of Nagato has issued a mani festo in which he states the terms upon which be will con sent to lay down his arise. He commences by recapitu lating the victories he has won, and the towns and villages which Le has either burnt or taken, and the amount of treasure, guns, munitions of war, and stores which have fallen into Lis bands in the affairs of Sekishiu. Osengaws, Tanaoura, and Dari. The Shogoon's troupe , this curious state paper proceeds to say, have only gained one, and that a temporary, success, one too, which reflects more disgrace upon the arms of the Yedo chief than any of the defeats which his generals have suffered. This was at the isle of Ooshima, which was bombarded for five days, and finally taken without resist ance, there being in the place no soldier', none but inof fensive peasants and fishermen, who, with their women and children, were massacred without mercy. Cbiosiu, with justice, reprehends in the strongest langu a g e this shameful deed, and proceeds to show how, on the ap proach of his own people to the relief of the place, it was immediately evacuated by the Shogoon's men, and remains at this moment in his possession. Considering himself, therefore, master of the situation, he states that the terms on which ho will consent to lay down his arms arc A public acknowledgment of his innocence of the crimes imputed to him by the Shogoon. 2. An apology from that chief for having aspersed his character before the Mikado and foreigners ; and 3. Permission to retain all his conquests. We cannot but think that thew terms of his must be accepted, lest harder ones be shortly proposed. Chiosiu boasts, with but little exaggeration, that he has five rifles to the Shogoon's one. For two years past he has been assiduously drilling his troops, and his easy victories' have Leen won by mere force of superior anus and discipline. At the same time it is more than suspected that serious disaffection exists in the ranks of the Shogoon's army. As for the contin gents off the " Fudia " Daimios, or feudal vassals of the Shogoonste, the majority of them are armed with the old national swords and bows and arrows, and the defeats they have sustained when injudiciously meeting Chiosin's Enfields and Blakeley fieldpiece's, have been mere slaughter and utter rout. Chiosin represents the inde pendent Dsimios ; his success means free trade with the whole of. Japan, instead of a monopoly of foreign commerce by the Shogoon alone, for his own ports now open. The Cyclone, with coals from Sydney to Shang hae, has been totally lost on the Japan coast. Several of the crew were drowned. The survivors, first mate and two seamen, were treated kindly by the Japanese, and taken by them to Yokohama. More steamers are said to have been purchased by the government. ARCHBISHOP MANNING ON THE TEMPORAL POW EFL—Last night, at the anniversary dinner of the Benevolent Society for the Relief of the Aged and Infirm Poor—the oldest Roman catholic charitable association in London—Archbishop Blanning presided. In proposing the first toast, " The Health of the Sovereign Pontiff Pope Pius 1X.," he said that there now were clangers at Lome and abroad impending over every nation that made men feel that the temporal power of the Pope--hate it as they might—was the keystone of a certain civil and Christian order upon which depended the happiness and order of all Christian states. lie was perfectly confident that that sentiment was to be found in France—upon the throne of that country ; it was to be found in Austria; it was still more powerful in Prussia after its recent victories ; it was to he found in England, with Ire land by her side. He wished to mention a saying attri buted, and be believed correctly attributed, to his Bullpen. It was said that the other day a person of great authority c uue to his Holiness and told him that the time for the departure of the French army was near at hand, and that their departure would be followed by events of great seriousness. "In fact," he said in conclusion, " Apres moi is deluge." The Holy Father smiled and said, " From Holy Writ we know there will never be another deluge, therefore lam not raid." This saying well represented his calm, unwavering trust and confidence, not in princes of the earth, for in them ho put no confidence, hut in that higher power on whose protection be has reposed during • pontificate of twenty years of trial and glory. The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm, as was also the health of the Queen, proposed by his graceimmedistelzafterwards. M R .

It is proposed to present to parliament during the ensuing session two petitions, one signed exclusively by unmarried wo that men and widows, qualified to vote in all respects except of sex ; the other, by of all classes, both men and women. Copies of e petitions and further information may be obtained on app lica tion to the honorary secretary, Mrs. W. Smith, 2, W arr i ng ton-mtecent, Loudon, W. The winter course of lectures of the Young Metes Christian Association commenced yesterday e►ening at Exeter-hall, before a crowded sad most attentive audi ence. The Right Hon. the LORD Maros presided, and • opened the proceedings with a few judicious obser►ations• He congratidatml the meeting and himself on the benefi cial change which had come over the commercial mind in the present day. It bad now come to be recognised that man was born for something else, and bettor, than mere business drudgery. It was admitted that he had a mind to be cultivated, and ought to have leisure to be enjoyed. As a consequence, counting-house and warehousemen's hours bad been curtailed, and the time thus gained was appropriated by our young men to the acquiremeot of knowledge and the enjoyment of literature ; whilst their employers were beginning to discover that the young man who ro employed his leisure was a meth better, because a more intelligent, clerk or warehouseman than the mere drudge who had not a single idea beyond the desk or the oonnter. ' With these cheer vations, which were much cheered, his lordship introduced the lecturer of the evening, the Very Bev. Dean of Canter bury, to the meeting. Dean ALFORD, differing from his lordship, opened his lecture with the expression of a fear that the young men of the present day had somewhat degenerated, and were not so religiously or intellectually sound as their imme diate predecessors. He suspected that their main wadi was pleasure, and their principal mental food sensational literately. Fran thence he proceeded in a long and elo quent lecture to distinguish between the true and fable guides for young men, and to indicate how the one might be recogoised and the other best *voided. His only 'safe guide was conscience or inward persuasion, when that conscience was etrengtbeoed and enlightened by a reverent study of the holy scriptures. The present, however, was the satur nalia ot false guides, for a man had only to set down in print ten lines of greater folly than usual, and all Eng land was agape. A passage followed on the absolute neceaaity there was for the belief in ayersonal God, and the lecturer turned from the true to the false guides. In religion the false guides were those who would overlay pure religion with • vain and pompous ritual. Such teachers would substitute the misty and uncertain iride scence of the foam for the unchanged hue of the ocean. Next to such false guides, and greater perhaps as perpetra tors of mischief, were the anonymous journalists of the present day. Under the shield of the anonymous men were at present misleading public opinion, who, if their names were attached to their articles, would be received with shouts of derision. We had, in fact, fallen into the very worst phase of democracy, the great danger of which was that it would place power in unfit and irresponsible hands ; but this was exactly what we suffered from anonymous jour nalism. No man was safe ; the newspapers could write any man up or down in a week, the beat character might be taken away in • round of paragraphs, and the only pro tection the public, had against such assailants was their mu tual hostility towards each other. (This observation elicited a general shout of laughter.) If they could only all agree on the point to be attacked, they would ruin anyone. News papers were in short totally unworthy to be followed as guide. ; bad in politics, but worse, far worse, in religion ; foe, when arguing the latter, they laid it down as their first postulate that all who disagreed with them were not mistaken opponents, but absolutely bad men. Another guide of the present day was fiction, which possibly might have run off the impurities of the last century. The water might therefore be comparatively clear,but then there was such a thing to be dreaded as an ioundation. That was one danger, an inundation of sensational literature which absolutely ignored the code of morality that was bid down in Scripture. It would not be perhaps fair to expect religious teaching in secular literature, but the purveyors of fiction ought at least to take care that they taught nothing that Well inconsistent with religion. Poetry was also a guide, and in the hands of the greatest of living poets a safe one, but there were others who forgot the responsibilities of their mission, and laid bare to their readers things which Christians ought not to know. The last of the guides to which he should allude was a science which was a fatal guide when it started with the denial of • God, but • true and a safe one when it devoted itself reverently to the investigation of God's wonders. Every new fact in ad ence was God's fact, and a contribution to his glory. Lean Alford having resumed his seat amid loud cheers, • vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor and the lecturer jointly was carried by acclamation. TEE QUEBEC FIRE.-11r. J. M.

COLENSU ON A VISITATION. Bishop Colenso has been making a visitation of the coast, not for summoning the clergy and delivering a chat ge, lint preach ing in the churches to large congregations, and making • himself acquainted with the people. While be was at Dur ban the map), 's dinner was given, and cash ttztided by the administrator (the governor being eletent ) , the colonial se cretary, and representatives of all the chief interests of the colony. The bishop, in acknowledging the toast of "The Clergy," said he had little claim to regard himself as per sonally included in this recognition, act far at least as Durban was concerned, having been unavoidably so long absent and prevented as yet from having, since his return to the colony. that close per 'Dual intercourse with the inhabitants. of this , town which he very much desired th a n ks e. But be con sideied the toast as rendering the of the company where they were really due—to the colonial chi:plain, sit ting by his side, whose many years of kindly labour had justly won for him the affection of his fenow-townsinen, and to the other ministers of all denominatii.me living in Durban,w who have been busied in sowing tie re the seed of life, instructing the ignorant, comforting the sick and sorrowing, reclaiming the wanderer, and—not the least of the duties of a Christian minister in these times— apt inkling the oil of charity upon the troubled waters. This speech, it is stated, was very warmly ap plauded. The bishop preached in the three churches of Durban without any interruption whatever. But at Verulate, a small town about 20 miles from Durban, there was "a scene." The rector bad the altar furniture removed, leaving within the rails (says the Nat& .4fersorry) nothing but a deal table, a soap-box, and one chair in which be bad seated himself, having first had the entrance within the rails fastened up by a bar of wood. The bishop removed the bar, went in, and sat down on the box, but a chair was afterwards brought. The incumbent be ginning to read an address or protest, Dr. Blaine, resident magis trate and churchwarden, said "Sir, we are bete for di vine service, and this is out of order altogether." The rev, gentleman, however, concluded his address, but made no further opposition remaining in his seat, and taking no part in the service!.
