LONDON, SATURDAY, 138. 8. Hex Maiwrrr's government have lost no time in presenting Parliament with ample materials for a review of the policy they have pursued as a neutral power in their relations with the government of the United States, from the commencement of the civil war to the present date. Last evening, six sets of papers were, by command of her Majesty, presented to both Houses of Parliament These papers comprise—No.l, " Correspondence relating to the Civil War in the United States of North America," beginning with a despatch dated Nov. 12, 1860, from Lord Lyons, announcing the elec tion of Mr. Lincoln as President, the consequent dissatisfaction in the Southern States, and ap prehensions of danger to the Union, and concluding with a despatch dated Feb. 1, 1862, from Earl Russell to Lord Lyous, enclosing a copy of the instructions issued (and published in the London Gazette of Jan. 31) for the preservation of neu trality in all plums within British jurisdiction. No. 2 (a " Blue-book" properly so called, and running to 367 pages) is entitled " Extract of a Despatch from her Majesty's Minister at Washington, dated December 6, 1861, enclosing Papers relating to Foreign Affairs, laid before the Congress of the United States at. the Opening of the Session in 186 L" This "enclosure" is of a very miscellaneous character, embracing as it does in structions and despatches from Mr. Seward to repreeentativesof the United States accredited to the governments of Great Britain, France, Belgium, Prumia, Russia, Austria, Italy, Spain, Rome, Denmark, Turkey, Egypt, Holland, Sweden, Por tupl, Switzerland, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Chili, the Hawaiian Islands, and Japan. Those addressed to Mr. Adams, in London, and to Mr. Dayton, in Paris, discover an uneasy feeling on the part of the American government as to the recognition of the Southern States as "belligerents," a certain sus ceptibility as to the concerted action of the British and French ministers at Washington, yet a con stant disposition withal to maintain the most friendly relations with the British government No. 3 is in some respects the most important batch of correspondence, since it relates "to the l l overtures addressed to the contending parties in the United States, with a view to their adhesion to the principles of maritime law as laid down by the Congress of Paris in 1856." These negotiations, as our readers will remember, had reached the point of a Couveutiun being drawn up for the signature of the government of the United States, adhering to the principles laid down by the Congress of Paris. Mr. Adams and Mr. Dayton, however, were instructed to break off the negotiations alto gether, in consequence of • declaration proposed by Earl Russell to be made upon signing the Con vention, to the effect that her Majesty did not intend thereby to undertake any engagement which should have any bearing, direct or indirect, on the internal differences prevailing in the United States. No. 4 comprises an episodical correspondence re specting the withdrawal by the government of the United States of Mr. Bunch's exequatur as her Majesty's Consul at Charleston. The Federal government had taken offence at Mr. Bunch's having, together with his French colleague, according to instructions from her Majesty's government, and in pursuance of an agreement between the British and French governments, communicated to "the persona exercising authority in the so-called CLufederate States the desire of those governments that the second, third, and fourth articles of the Declaration of Paris should be observed by those States in the prosecution of the hostilities in which they were engaged." No. 6 contains the Correspondence respecting the Trent affair, and No. 6 the Correspondence (45 despatches in all !) relating to the Nashville and Tusesrora at Southampton. The bare description of these Blue-books enables the reader to form some idea of the constant danger of ignition which the American civil war has brought as near to ourselves as a neutral State as if no broad Atlantic lay between us and the burning house be) oud. From the tint, and throughout the diplomatic 4'..ns to which these documents relate, the language of the British government is friendly, frank, and firm, entirely dispassionate and disinte rested. Ou receipt of Lord Lyons' despatch, inti mating apprehensions of disunion, Lord J. Rus sell expresses the "concern of her Majesty's go- vernment." In January, 1861, be instructs Lord Lyons, iu the event of being asked advice by Mr. Lincoln's cabinet, to reply that he is " not autho rised to give any advice, nor will her Majesty's government do so, unless both parties should apply to her Majesty fur counsel." In February, 1861, the policy of her Majesty's government, "in the event of Mr. Lincoln raising questions with Great Britain," is laid down in the following clear and emphatic terms : LORD .1. ZUSSILL TO LORD LYONS. Foreign-aloe, Feb. 70,1861. The success or failure of Mr. Sevrard's plans to prevent the disruption of the North American Union is a matter of deep interest to her Majesty's government. But they can only expect and hope. They are not called upon, nor would they be acting prudently were they to obtrude their advice on the diaaentient parties in the Uuited States. Supposing, however, that Mr. Lincoln, acting under bad advice, should endeavour to provide excitement for the public mind by raising questiona with (treat Britain, her Majesty's govern ment feel no hesitation as to the policy they would purses They would, in the first place, be very forbearing. They would show by their acts how highly they valor the rein lima of peace and amity with the United Steam. But they would take care to let the government which multi plied provocations and sought for quarrels understand that their forbearance sprung from the consciousness of strength, and not from the timidity of weakness. They would warn • government which was making political capital out of blu►tering demonstrations that our patience might be tried too far. If this toes is taken when necessary, and only when escessary, I have ao foam that the American liap.bliu will seek a quarrel with • nation sprung from the same parents, and united by language as well as by ties of kindred and • long period of friendly intercom's. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 8, 1882. The following despatch in perfectly consistent with the conduct of the British goverment up to the present date : LORD J. RUSSELL TO LORD LYONS. Foreign-offioe, March 2, 1861. My Lord,—The American minister called upon me yester day afternoon, and read to me a despatch of Judge Black, dated the 28th of February. In thin despatch Judge Black expresses his conviction that States which have separated from the United States without any legal or constitutional _ _ right to do so will not be acknowledged as independent States by Great B ri tain. Her Majesty's government have shown, he said, so friendly an interest in the welfare of the United States, that it is due to them to state that the United States have not acknowledged the right of the Seceding States to claim independence, and do not design to do so. I replied to Mr. Dallas shortly sad verball►, stating that, even if the government of the United States had been willing to acknowledge the sepa• ration of the Seceding States as founded in right, her Majesty's government would have seen with great concern the dissolution of the Union which bound together the members of the American Republic. That the opposition of the government of the United States to any each separa tion, and the denial by them of its legality, would make her Majesty's government very reluctant to take any step which might encourage or sanction the separation. That, however, it was impossible to state, at the present moment, in what shape the question might present itself ; nor was it in my power to bind the British government to any par ticular course of conduct in cases of which the circurnatences and the significance were at present unknown to us.--I am, &c., ( 3 iamed) J. RUSSILL. In May Lord J. Russell reports the substance of a conversation he bad held with Messrs. Yancey, Rost, and Mann, the " delegates" from the Con- rodeiste States : WILD J. SCIIBILL TO LOZD MM. Foreign-die, May 11, 186 L My Lord,—On Saturdey last I received se my house Mr. Yancey, Mr. Mann, and Judge Rost, the three pntionen deputed by the Southern Confederacy to obtain their rr cognition ma an independent State. One of these gentlemen, speaking for the others, dilated on the mum which had induced the Southern States to secede from the Northern. The principal of these mace, be said, was not slavery, but the very high price which, for the sake of protecting the Northern manufacturers, the South were obliged to pay for the manufactured goods which they required. One of the trot acts of the Southern Congress was to reduce this. duties, and, to prove their sincerity, he gave as an instance that LooMiaria had given up altogether that protection on Imo sugar whkb she en loped by the legislation of the United States. As a proof of the riches of the South, he stated that of 3.50,000,000 dollars of esparto of produce to foreign coun tries, 270,000.000 were furnished by the Southern States. I said that I could hold no official communication with the delegates of the Southern States. That, however, when the question of recognition rains to be formally discussed there were two points upon which inquiry must be made ; trek whether the body whin recognition could maintain its position as an independent Suite ; secondly, in what manner it was proposed to maintain relations with foreign States After speaking at some length on the fret of these points and alluding to the news of the secession of Virginia and other intelligence favourable to their cause, thews gentlemen called my attention to the article in their constitution preoribitieg the slave trade. I said that it IVY alleged very currently that if the slave states found that they could sot compete successfully with the cotton of other countries, they would revive the slave trade for the wpm of diminishing the cost of production. They said this was a suspicion unsupported by any proof. The fact was, that they had prohibited the slave trade, and did mimosa to revive it. They pointed to the new tariff of the United Stain as a proof that Britiah manufactures would be nearly excluded from the North, and freely ad mitted in the South. Other observations were made, bat not of very great importance. The delegate. concluded by stating that they should remain in Loudon for the present, in the hope that the recognition of the Southern Confede racy would not be long delayed.-1 am, arc., (Signed) J. Annul.. There are several despatches relating to the mis sion of a secret agent of the Federal Government to Canada, and his recall in ounsequence of remon strances from Lord Lyons, and with regard to the closing of the Southern ports by decree, which neither the British nor the French government were prepared to recognise. The arrests of Mr. Patrick and Mr. Rah ming, the visit of the Sumter to Trinidad, the alleged violation of British ter ritory by United States soldiers, and an attempt to enlist men in Canada, afforded matter for much "conversation" between the Cabinets. Two de . vetches more particularly indicate the constantly recurring questions between America and England. L LORD LTORII TO RLIL RUSSELL. - -ORCRITZD NOT. 19.) Washington, Nov. 4, 1861. Mr. Seward eked me whether any special communication concerning American affairs bad recently taken place between the British and French governments. I replied that the two governments were constantly in confidential communication on the present state of this country, but that I did not know of anything of aspecial character which had lately passed between them on the subject. Mr. Seward then said that I must have seen tit:, reports in the newspapers about the proceedings of the French Chambers 'of Commerce with regard to the cotton supply. Had any thing passed lately on that subject between the British and French governments? I replied, not to my knowledge. EARL BU .L TO LORD LTONB. Foreign-office, Nov. 22 My Lord,—l have received your despatch of the 4th inst., reporting the substance of a couversation you bad had with Mr. Seward relative to the reception of the privateers and vessels of the so-styled Confederate States in foreign ports, and I have to state to you that it appears from that despatch that Mr. Seward never chooses to understand the position of her Majesty's government, Her Majesty Las declared entire neutrality in the unhappy contest now car ried on in We United States. Her Majesty admit, the ships of war and privateers of the United State. to British porta, there to remain to victual and take in coals. If her Ma jesty were to refuse similar facilities to the vessels of war and privateers of the so-styled Confederate State., her Ma jesty would be at once declaring herself a party to the war. If Mr. Seward is desirous that the ships of war of the Con federate States should not be allowed to stay more than twenty-four hours in a British port, be should declare it in plain terms. In any case her Majesty's government are de termined to treat the ships of war and jrivateers of the so styled Confederate States in the same manner as the ships at war sad privateers ,of the United States.—l am, ha (Signed) Roseau. On the last day of November Messrs. Yancey, Rost, and Mann, according to instructions from the President of the Confederate States, again urge upon her Majesty's government the ineffective na ture of the blockade, and the paramount interests affected by the blockade. To this appeal the fol lowing is the brief reply : TAIL RUSSELL TO NUM& TANCET, LOST, AID MAIM. Foreign-offles, Dec. 7. Lord Russell presents his compliments to Mr. Yancey, Mr. Most, and Mr. Mann. He has had the honour to receive their letters and inclosures of the 27th and 30th of Novem ber ; but in the present state of affairs he must decline to stater into any official communication with them. A few Hues from Earl Russell on the subject of letters of marque aro full of significance : EARL RUSSELL TO LORD LYONS. Foreign-alias, Dec. 20. My Lord,—You may speak to Mr. Seward on the subject of letter of marque. Should Great Britain and the United States ever unhappily be at war against each other, her Majesty will be ready to relinquish her prerogative, and abolish peivateeriog as between the two nations, provided the President would be reedy to rake a similar engagement es Ur part of the United States.-1 am, &c., (Signed) Menu. The escapade of an ignorant acting muter, who took a prize schooner into New York with the British flag flying under the American, was, it appears, very promptly disavowed by the superior naval authorities of the United States, and by Corn , modore Paulding, in command of the Federal squadron, in a manner that obtained the askrow lodgments of Lord Lyons, and of the British naval officer on the station. On the 72nd of last November Earl Russell had written a despatch to Lord Lyons, relative to the arbitrary arrests of certain British subjects. The following is Mr. Seward's reply to Lord Lyons : XR. REWARD TO LORD LTONR. Washington, Jan. 13. My Lord,—You have kindly left with me a copy of an instruction which you had received from Earl Russell, dated on the 22nd of November last. I have great pled:sure in stating to you, for the information of his lordship, that the President frankly and unhesitatingly accept. the explana tions given by Earl Russell of what was the meaning of the British government in the views which, at their instance, you had heretofore submitted to me concerning the right of the President to suspend the habeas corpus in time of insur rection, without waiting for direct authority from Congress. I have to regret, however, that while the misapprehension which has existed upon this one point is thus generously removed by Earl Muesli, he deems it necessary to persist in the opinion that the President's proceeding, under • suspension of the habeas corpus, in the case of William Patrick, was wanton and capricious, and that it had not been rendered necessary by the exigencies of the civil war. As government must proceed always upon information, and often with great promptness end energy, it could hardly be possible to avoid the commission of occa sional errors in the exercise of precautionary power to repress insurrection, manifesting itself more or less for midably in every .State of the American Union. I cannot but think that • prompt correction of the error in such a ease, mach a correction as was made in the case of Mr. Patrick, is all that could reasonably be required by perinea willing to deliberate carefully and anxious to interpret the action of the government with candour and impartiality, as lam sure Earl Russell is. I cheerfully consent to leave Earl Russell's protest on the record where it will lie side by side with the decisions of this government, which show that during a civil war, now of nine months' dur•tioe, no complaint of any kind has been denied • hearing, not one person has been pressed into the land or naval service, not one disloyal citizen or resident, however guilty of treason or conspiracy, has forfeited his life except in battle, not nee has been detained a day in confinement who could and would give reliable pledges of his forbearance from evil designs, nor indeed has one person who could or would give no such pledges been detained a day beyond the period when the danger which be was engaged in producing bed safely passed away. Happily, it is not the judgment of even greataudgood men like Earl Russell pronounced in the excitement of the hour, and possibly subject to the influences of disturbing eventa,which determine the character, of states. From such judgments we cheerfully appeal to that of history, confident that it records no instance in which any government or people has practised moderation in civil war equal to that which thus far has distinguished this government and the American people.—l avail, &c., (Signed) WILIIAX H. Szwean. A despatch from Lord Lyons, dated Jan. 14, 1882, contains Mr. Beward's explanations as to the obstruction of Southern harbours. In another despatch of the same date Lord Lyons writes : Mr. Seward said that be was desirous that the United States should, in the present war, offer to the world an example of leniency towards the enemy and regard for the interest' of neutrals, such as had never before been seen. Hs proceeded to enlarge upon the moderation hitherto displayed by this government ; on its having ►bstained from shedding the blood of traitor' or inflicting any severe punish. manta upon them ; on its having adopted the mild form of • blockade for closing the Southern ports, and on other simi lar topics. He went on to say that he hoped to be able to give still another proof of moderation. He was occupied in devising • plan for reopening correspondence by letter with the South. Of course what was conceded to one foreign nation must be conceded to all ; and what was conceded to foreigners must be equally conceded to American citizens. He thought it might be possible to establish at some point a special office to which letters to and from the Southern States should be sent, and from which such as, on examina tion, should prove to be unobjectionable might be for warded. We may have occasion to revert to the Corre spondence respecting international maritime law, involving as it does questions of more than tempo rary importance. It is noticeable that the Confe derate government was willing to subscribe to all the declarations of the Congress of Paris except the Brat. These declarations were— 1. Privateering is, and remains, abolished. 2. The neutral flag covers enemy's goods, with the exception of contraband of war. 3. Neutral goods, with the exception of contra band of war, are not liable to capture under an enemy's flag. 4. Blockades, in order to he binding, must be effective ; that is to say, maintained by a force sufficient really to prevent access to the coast of the enemy. On the present occasion the Federal government would have accepted all the four principles but for the declaration which was proposed to be attached to them, and by which the Confederate war ships were, in effect, to be excluded from the category of privateers, or " pirates." The Correspondence relating to the Tuscarora and the Nashville makes ue heartily glad that two such troublesome visitors have left our shores. They soem to have kept the Foreign-office and the Admiralty (not to speak of the local authorities at Suuthampton)in a perpetual ferment. Both the com manders are courteous in their official oorrespon deuce ; perhaps the commander of the Nashville, as the weaker of the two, is the most passively com pliant. An influential meeting was held at Exeter on Thursday, for the purpose of erecting a mueeum in that city, which is intended to nave the purpose of • memorial to the Prince consort.

Tun PRINCE or WALES AT Dorm --Captain Trisoott, Admiralty Superintendent, who received his royal highness on his arrival at Dover, met with a singular accident whilst accompanying the (prince to the bust. Engaged in conversation. he became so absorbed that a lamp-post which stood directly in his pathway escaped observation, and the violence of the concussion resulted in his being thrown heavily to the ground. His royal highness and a sturdy polioe.ooostable immediately lent their assistance to the gallant captain, who quickly re pined his feet, though almost stunned with the collision.

THE ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN. In the Address to Her Majesty, which is gene rally only an echo of the speech from the throne, the fo1• lowing paragraphs have this year been inserted, to mark the sympathy of parliament in the great loss which her Majesty has just sustained : "To take this first opportunity of offering to her Majesty our sincere condolence on the 'Minting dispensation of Pro vidence with which her Majesty and this nation have bees visited is the death of his Royal Highness the Prime Consort. "To &mare her Majesty of , our heartfelt participation is the universal feeling of sympathy with her Majesty under this calamitous bereavenfe•t, sad in the deep sense eater tained by all classes of her Majesty's subject' of the irre. parable loss which the country has sustained in • Prince whose tender attachment to her Majesty, whose eminent virtue., and whom high attainments, unceasingly devoted to the interests of this country, won for him general love and admiration, and will cause his name to be bald in grateful and affectionate remembrance. " To assure her Majesty that it is our earnest prayer that her Majesty's health, in which her faithful people take so lively an interest, will not be impaired by overwhelming grief, and that this kingdom will long continue to enjoy the blessings of a reign with whirl:tit/ happiness and welfare are so intimately associated." THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS ALICE. This morning the treaty between her Majesty sod the Grand Duke of Hesse, relative to the marriage of the Princess Alice, was issued. It consists of nine articles. The expenses of the joint establishment are to be defrayed ont of the appanage of the bridegroom, which is fixed at 40,000 florins a year, and the interest of the marriage por tion of the Princess Mice, which is 30,0001. Articles 4,5, and 6 provide for the investment of her royal highness'• marriegs portion, and for its disposal in rose of there being issue or otherwise. By the 7th article her Majesty pro mises to secure to her daughter from the time of her mar riage the annual sum of 6,0001., to be received by commiasionars named by the Queen, for the sole sod separate use of the princess. The Grand Duke of Hew engages by the Bth article to secure to her royal Whines, in the event of the death of his son, a jointure, together with a residence at Darmstadt, and the interest of her marriage portion. Should her royal high- ness become Grand Duchess of Hesse, she is to receive the same allowance that former grand duchesses have enjoyed. The ratifications of this treaty are to be exchanged "as soon as possible." A marriage is arranged between the Marquis of Hastings and Him Alice Lisle Philippe, second daughter of Ambrose Lisle PhiHipps, Eaq., of Gareedon Park and Onto, Dien Manor, in the county of Leicester. The marriage will not take place until the marquis has attained his majority. The Earl and Countess of Ayleeford have arrived at Claridge's Hotel from Packington Hall, Leamington. Lord and Lady Wodehouse and family have arrived at their 'widows in Brysaaton-square, from Kim- barley Ball, Norfolk. Sir George Cornewall and Lady Theresa Lewis entertained a select circle at dinner lest evening at their residence, Kent House, Knightsbridge. A little romance came before Judge Radcliff in the Consisteriel Court, Dublin, on Thursday. Mr. Alex. H. Stator had property in the county Longford, worth 600/. • year, now reduced by mortgages and other charges to 4471. He married while • minor, and has had three children by his wife, of which two are still living. In October last he left his estate, wife, and children, and started for Australia as apprentice in • merchant ship, leaving a power of attorney with his wife to enable her to recover 1501. a year off the property in the event of his death. The court was moved for an allowance for alimony to be secured out of the estate now. The Judge said he thought the claims of a man's wife and children were paramount, at least to whisky and cigar bills. He would, therefore, deal with the impagnant as if he were dead, and allow Hrs. Stator the amount secured to her by the mar riage settlement—that is, 1501. • year, and, in addition, 801. a year for the maintenance of the two children. Mr. Benedict's new opera is announced for Mon day next.

It is intended to secure the support of the entire metropolis ; end the Lord Mayor, anxious that the City should take the lead, has convened a public meeting, to be held at the Mansion House on Tuesday next, the 11th when a reception committee will be formed, and other steps taken to promote the success of the congress. A private view of the annual collection of the British Institution took place this day. At Armagh petty sessions, on Thursday, informa tions were returned against the Rev. John Quinn, C.C., of Middleton, county Armagh, for a libel on Mr. W. Jonee Arm strong, justice of the peace, of the same comity. The case excited considerable interest in the locality. The alleged libel had appeared in the Weekly Freeman, and was entitled " The Crowbar Brigade in Armagh," and denounced Mr. Armstrong in strong terms for harshness, 'which it imputed to him in his treatment of his tenantry. Amongst the official announcements just made in Paris are some appointments of ladies to the head of chari table posts. They number eight or nine, and are made by the Empress, who is the legal heed of all the charitable in stitutions of France. It has a novel sound to bear of the official paper glutting some lady to her post of President of the Society for the Aid of Orphan Children or Distressed Married Women, with as meth ceremony as the appoint mute are wetted to the knighthood of the Legion of Honour. Ad vioes from Berlin state that Count de Berns toe, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, has reconsidered the decision he had taken concerning the use of the German baguage in diplomatic despatches. He has addressed to the Prussian agents abroad a circular ordering that French shall be need whatever that language is spoken at the worts to which they are azeredited ; in other came. the onus language is to be used. "We learn," says a Gotha letter, "that in the projected voyage of the Duke of Saxe Gotha, he will only be accompanied for a part of the time by the duchess. The sapeditios, which win be mainly for scientific purposes, will preoqed rid Trieste, Alexandria, and Suez, to Massone, where endeavours will be made to again find the traces of She Beaglin expedition." LATEST INTELLIGENC E. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Fe% 2. A new financial project is on the tapis ; it has been proposed to raise 100 millions, by granting a lease of the crown lands for 40 years. That RUM would enable the bank to meet its engagements. The mails from Paris are in arrear, owing to the floods which have injured the Vienna railway in many places. A change of opinion appears to be taking place among the journals of Vienna. At first, they re volted at the idea of any compromise ou the sub ject of Venetia. Now they examine the matter in every Reuse, which is a progress. "We cannot shut our eyes," says the Press of Vienna, " to the difficulties of our position in Italy, and it is urgent that we should be rid of the matter as soon as pos sible. We must give Italy guarantees to prove that we have broken once for all with the policy of restoration in Italy." (1110121e8 TILZOILAMIL) FRANCE. PARIS, Fr's. 8. The Moniteur of this morning says :—" The English journals announce that the French go- vernment is negotiating at London for a loan of 4,000,0001. sterling. This assertion is erroneous."

RUSSIA. gr. PETERSBURG, Fn. & The Northern► Post of to-day states:—" 5,000,000 silver roubles have been destined to cover advances made to the owners of a less number than 20 serfs." The Journal de St. Petersbourg of to-day an flounces that 8,000 marines have remised their furlough. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (raom calla owl ooaasseortan.) PARIS, FRIDAY EMNING. The Bourse was very weak during the greater part of the day, but there was a sudden animation at the close. The Bente, after having declined to 70fr. 750. and 71fr. 15e., closed at 71fr. and 71fr. 40e., with a rise of 50. and 15c. Mobilier rose 6fr. 25c., and the Italian Loan 50c. The Southern Railway rose sfr., and Orleans 2fr. 500., but Northern and Eastern fell sfr. each, and Lyons and Western 2fr. 50c. each. The comparative heaviness in railways is accounted for by the bad ness of last week's receipts. The loan of four mil lions sterling effected in London by the French government is quite a surprise upon the public here. Some of the journals venture to make sarcastic re marks upon it. According to the Temps, the terms are so good for the lenders that there is no wonder that it was eagerly taken up. The Prune pointedly says that it abstains from reproducing the com ments of the English papers upon the transaction. Last Sunday a mandate from the Bishop of Tarbes was read in all the churches of his diocese, declaring it to be true that a young girl, named Bernadette Soubiroua, had seen the Virgin Mary in a grotto at Lourdes in 1858. He undertakes to say from his episcopal chair that the exact number of times that the Virgin miraculously appeared in the grotto was twenty-eight, and that she wore yellow roses in her shoes ! He, therefore, charges all the faithful in his diocese to believe in the miracle of Lourdes as a true and genuine miracle, and nothing doubts that his judgment in this mat ter will be confirmed by the Pope. More snow has fallen to-day than we have had all the winter ; it melted as fast as it fell, and the streets are in a terrible state. WEATHER REPORT.-(THUS DAY.) SATURDAY, FIIkUAZY 8, 8 &Y. L 33.
