LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20. HR. POPE HENNESSY is surprised to find him self so famous. In Wexford he has been met by twenty-three priests, who " seem to have as in " timate a knowledge of his public career as he " has himself." Conservative landlords, who never saw his face, are busily canvassing for him. To carry an Irish county constituency, it has always been considered indispensable that a candi date should have either the priests or the land lords on his aide. Mr. HENNESSY has both, and his election should be, therefore, sure. The enthu siasm felt for him by the people of the county of Wexford, to whom he is personally a stranger, ought to console him for the ingratitude of the electors of King's County, who having had the benefit of his services in one Parliament declined to avail themselves of them in another. Mr. HEN NESSY was apparently more attached to them than they to him. The strange and unsuccessful artifice by which he sought, in violation of the forms of the House of Commons, to reverse the return of the High Sheriff, and to smuggle him- sell into Sir PATRICK O'BRIEN'S seat, was an inci- li eni Itrary, that lost none of her rights over Luxemburg brae dirap peszanos of the confederation. Luxemburg is now one of the strongest places in Europe, and the posaimaion of such a place is naturally of great interest. The fortress at' present is garrisoned, as it has been for many years, jointly by the Prussian and Dutch troops, and the govern tnent of Berlin firmly declines to withdraw its contingent. The report of the military commission appointed to in vestigate the New Orleans riots of July proves the case of Congress, the Daily Rem says, against Mr. Johnson. Here is one of his reconstructed governments not only failing to protect loyal citizens but conspiring against their safety. Here is one of his pardoned official' organising a police assault on an unarmed meeting, putting his police at the head of a rebel mob, and following up outrage by perjury. By attempting to screen the New Orleans " authorities." Mr. Johnson has brought upon himself a share of the blame, and on his policy all the condemnation that is cast on them. A comparison of his speeches with the report of his own commissioners leads irresistibly to the conclusion that Mr. Johnson charged his opponents with the crime h order to shield his own guilty friends. A week ago we heard that the great state of Pennsylvania had condemned his policy. To-day the telegram informs us that Ohio, Indiana, and lowa have arrayed themselves on the same side. These elections are decisive. The Post treats of reform, of the Oxford banquet, and of the career of the late M. Thouvenel. The latter, it is re marked, in comparison with our contemporary otatesmen, may almost be looked upon as a youth. For instance, Earl Rumen is 74, Lord Derby is 67, and it is hoped and ex pected they have to look forward to many years of vigorous life. Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Disraeli, whom we are accustomed to look upon, in years, as young statesmen, are respectively 57 and 61. The Herold accuses Mr. Bright of offering direct incen tives to spoliation. His references to the landed pro- prietors can bear no other interpretation to any honest wild than that of a provocation to robbery and violence. Returning to the Jamaica massacres, the Herald asserts as beyond the possibility of reasonable doubt that the late Mr. Gordon was fully cognisant of all the plans and intentions of the rioters ; and our contemporary proceeds to tell some curious story about a proposition, which it is now stated Mr. Gordon once made, to purchase a Confederate orator, assuming that this story at once establishes the fact of Mr. Gordon's guilt.

The Spectator describes the true function of Mr. Bright to be to act is the battering ram against the inertia and morbid intellertual hesitations of parliament, and says that never has he fanned that function more nobly than in the pathetic and magnificent conclusion of his Glasgow speech. It is indeed, as be asserts, not too much to say that if the miseries of the millions were permanent and irremediable—were not chiefly the growth of our awn selfishness and sin—it would be impossible to believe in the God whom Christ revealed. And it is still more certain that we cannot spread this faith through the misery and the squalor of the most numerous and poorest class, except by multiply 4 ng the moral revelation of His love in works of mercy for the wretched. No doubt many may recognise how true this is who do not see in Mr. Bi:ght's great sped 6c—a wide extension of the suffrage—the natural means to this end. The late Archbishop Wbately used to say that he feared democracy chiefly for its warlike disposition, and one of Mr. Bright's main hopes in reform appearsto be the final cessation of a warlike policy. But as all parties agree that some generous representation of the largest class in the community is at least common justice to them, even if not a great instrument of regeneration, and many look upon it, especially having regard to the need of popular education, as also the latter, it is at least impossible to appeal to religious feeling on the conservative side, and natural to appeal to it on the radical. Considering the suggested impeachment of President Johnson, the Spectator comes to the conclusion that of all solutions of the question between Mr. Johnson and the Congress, the beat would be the voluntary resignation of the President ; the next best, his enforced resignation under a constitutional amendment; the next, his submit. Rion ; and the worst, his removal under a 'entices which large sections of the people would undoubtedly consider unjust. The South would then seem to be headed by the legal chief of the union, the North only by the creature of the representative bodies. The Examiner protest+ against the mischiefs of exag• geration, and hears with equal regret what it terms the antagonistic absurdities of Mr. Lowe and Mr. Bright, the latter of whom, it says, would have the world believe that England is ashamed of her history ; that " until 1832 we had one of the worst governments in Christendom ;" and that since then parliament has proved itself to be so corrupt and incapable, that any 658 men, taken by shame as they passed Temple bar, would do the business of the empire better. It is convinced that on reflection the member for Birmingham will be led to feel that a rhetoric of overbold, or rather - - _ extravagant, assertion is unworthy of his great and grow ing reputation. He can never seriously hope to bully the two great aristocratic parties into going further than the middle classes will support them ; but he may for a time drive some of the middle class out of alliance with the people, and give the timid and the selfish an excuse for further delay. Discussing the subject of Belgian independence, the Saturday Reriew lays there could be no more flagrant act of disorder than the annexation of a single square mile of • peaoeable, inoffensive, prosperous, and, on the whole, well-governed country like Belgium. We do not know how England,could defend herself more effectually than by resolving, and letting her resolve be understood, that any designs upon that State would demand our active in tervention, as a mere act of police. You must, in certain capes, help your neighbour to put out his fire, for the sake of your own house, if for nothing else. lf, as time goes on, the Belgians should wish their independent existence to come to an end, and to be annexed to France in part, and in part to Holland, England would have no business to interfere. By that time the unjust spirit which is now so powerful in European counsels will probably have been exorcised, and the French edifice will have been crowned. The Saturday Reriew attributes the activity of the Jamaica committee to the extreme bad taste of Mr. Eyre himself, and the mischievous declamation of Mr. Kingsley and his associates. As the prosecution is to proceed, it may be hoped that the case will be heard before some able and determined judge. If the indictment is preferred at the sittings of the Central Criminal Court, the Recorder would, in the ordinary course, deliver the charge to the grand jury. As, however, it would be impossible for Mr. Russell Gurney, as one of the Jamaica commissioners, to undertake the duty, the presiding judge will expound the law as it applies to the alleged frets. If the charge is un favourable to the prisoner, and if a true bill is found, the responsibility of the verdict will rest chiefly with the judge. Unless theJmnaica Commissioners were entirely mistaken, it would be impossible for Mr. Eyre to prove that Gordon was legally cons icted and legally executed ; but it will be for the court to declare whether the irregularity of the sentence and execution involve the governor in the guilt of murder. An affirmative decision would Fettle nothing, because the pardon which must inevitably follow would amount to • constitutional declaration that the acts of high functionaries must be judged by • political rather than a legal standard. An acquittal on the merits might establish a far more mischievous precedent, as it is not the business of • judge or jury to declare that the strict pro visions of law can in any case be superseded. In an article devoted to an examination into the sub stantial security of railway debentures, the Ikonostist says that the greatest mischance which has ever befallen railway securities has just befallen them in the defence of Sir Morton Peto, who distinctly says he considers it right to over-issue debentures. Nothing an enemy of railway secu rities could say against them would be half as bad as this. Here is a member of parliament, a man of 37 years' standing, a man of great repute fur integrity, justifying their over issue. If such • man will plan, perpetrate, and defend illegality, what will meaner men do? Who now can trust any railway board as implicitly as he used to trust them ? Who now will not require before lending his money s state stamp and a government audit ? The United Horticultural Society has obtained a grant of the Guildhall for a flower and fruit show, to be held simultaneously with a bazaar for the Albert Orphan Asylum, the two societies having for the time amalgamated in order S 3 help each other, philanthropy being their °an. mon object.

The twenty 141111 in the rate of wages, taking w. average All Ireland, of nearly 60 per cent. ; and the Irish Ifbourar ie immeasurably better fed , be tter 'clothed; better housed, than he ever was before. The heart-rending facts disclosed by •the Devon Commission have nothing cor responding to them in the Ireland of 1866 ; and if Mr. HENNESSY does not know this, his ignorance is culpable. Two millions of Irish graves—these, he says, are the monument of Lord Reassm. and the Whigs. Does Mr. HENNESSY really think that the decline of the Irish population between 1841 and 1861 is to be accounted for solely by deaths during the years of famine I Are Irishmen naturally immortal, or have none of them emigrated 1 It is Mr. HENNESSY'S complaint that they have emigrated in crowds, and for this, too, the Whigs are to blame. He is apparently unaware that this phenomenon of emigration is not a peculiarly Irish, nor even British, but a European phenomenon. A greet movement is going on from the East to the West. To confine ourselves within home limits, the last census showed a decline of population in the agricultural districts of Eng land and Scotland as well as of Ireland. For the famine and for the exodus, the policy of the Whigs is not to blame, but the misgovernment of previous generations, which allowed a thrift less and half-starving peasantry to multiply far be yond the resources of the country ; and to become dependent on a single and precarious article of food. If Mr. Hen name desires to bring beck the crowded and hopeless wretchedness of the years before the famine, Ireland has no worse enemy than he. But all these accusations against the Whiffs are but a preface to an eulogy on the Tories. Mr. GLADSTONE would not stop the emigration ; Mr. Duseasu is going to do it. "Mr. Dtsnazt.t," Mr. HENNESSY told his hearers, " not long since, speaking in his own " country to • number of Englishmen, said the " state of Ireland should receive the first coital " cleration of the Government. He differed with " the Whigs on the subject of emigration ; "he avowed that he deplored it sincerely, " that he does not regard it as a " healthy depletion, but as a fatal haemorrhage, " a haemorrhage which should be checked, and he " undertook that the Government would devise " meaaures to stop it. Now, of course, he does " not intend to lay an embargo upon emigrant " ships, or by forcible means to retain the people; " but he can carry out his !policy if he thinks fit " to do so by legislation which will encourage re " productive labour and give security to the " tenant. . . . What we want is something " for the country, above all—for I am sure you " feel as Ido that is the vital question—some " thing that will check the rush of emigration that "is draining the life-blood from Ireland. The " late Government deliberately refused to con " eider this all-important question. The present " Government have wisely expressed their judg " went upon it, and have not shrunk from the " undertaking. Therefore, I say, it is so far easy " to choose between them." This is Mr. Hermases account of Mr. Dm aar.ao intentions. Let us hear Mr. Disa.azia's own explanation. He was questioned in the House of Commons on the subject of the speech to which Mr. HENNESSY refers. He disavowed having any specific for checking emigration. All that the Government was going to do was to pro pore a vote for Irish railways. This Mr. Dtsa•em thought was a right, and, apparently, a sufficient thing to do. " But if," he went on to say, "we " are entitled to the merit of so just and expo " client a policy, I must say we inherited it fro.n " our predecessors, and we intend to propose " it, because we think they wisely decided it." And yet Mr. HENNESSY can tell the too credulous people of Wexford, who hailed his mis statements w;th repeated cheers, that "the late " Government refused to consider the important " question "—of the best means of checking Irish emigration. " The present Government " have wisely expressed their judgment upon it, " and have not shrunk from undertaking a remedy. " Therefore, I say, it is so far easy to choose " between them." If the electors of the county of Wexford are capable of being duped by the falsifications of history, the economic absurdities, and the calumnious mis-statements of Mr. Pops HENNESSY, they deserve to have him for their representative. dent of the past session which will not soon be forgotten. Mr. POPE HENNE.9BY is modestly unable to understand his fame. But there is not much difficulty in the matter. It springs from the fact that he is unique as a politician. A solitary specimen of any kind, though not very valuable in itself, nor belonging to an important genus, is interesting as a curi osity. An Irish Roman Catholic sitting on the Conservative side of the House, and out-Torying the Tories themselves, could not fail to become conspicuous. "The thing itself is neither rich nor " rare," but the wonder " bow the devil it got " there" will keep people talking about it. It would be unjust to Mr. HENNESSY, however, to suppose that his reputation is limited to these islands. He has visited European courts, and had interviews with foreign monarchs. He has talked with NAPOLEON in the Tuileries, and with The death of M. Thouvenel ;the shabby treat- Lord PALMXazeTON in the coffee-room of the merit of M. Snider ; the catastrophe at Mont Blanc ; and an House of Commons, and has been careful to inform explal s ation by Mr. Stephens of th%.4 . 3a h l character of (t his the world of both circumstances.

The Crathie Musical Aeowiatiou had the honour to sing in the bell-mem yesterday evening. The Queen and the royal family were present. The Prince of Wales, with Major Grey and M. de Castenschiold, went out shading yesterday morning, with his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, near Rich. mond. The Queen of Denmark, with the Princess of Wales, Princess Myra, and Prince Waldemar, took a carriage drive. A deputation, introduced by Mr. Sherriff, M.P., and con sisting of the Mayor and the Sheriff of Worcester, Mr. Alderman Webb, Mr. Alderman Hall, Mr. Perrin', and Mr. Woof (t)te town clerk), had an interview with the Earl of Belmore (Under Secretary of State), at the Home• office, yesterday, on the subject of amalgamating the prisons of the city and county of Worcester.

THE ConEr.—Her Majesty, accompanied by the Prince and Princess Christian and the Princesses Louise and Beatrice and Priam Arthur, is expected to leave Bal moral on Friday next for Windsor Castle. Sir Charles Lennox Wyke, K.C.8., late Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at Hanover, arrived in totta on Thursday evening from Germany.

The death is announced at Tourrnakeady, of Lord Plunket, Bishop of Tuam. His lordship, who gra duated at St. John's College, Cambridge, was in 1849 appointed bishop of the united dioceses of Team, and Achonry, and bad at Dia death reached the age of 74. His father, the first Baron Plunket, was for 11 years the very distinguished Lord Chancellor of Ireland. , The bishopric, of course,falls to the gift of the government ; sad the deceased prelate, who has been for some time in delicate health, is succeeded in his lay barony by his brother, the Hon. John Plunket, who was called to the bar in 1817, took silk in 1837, and it now assistant-barrister or chairman of the county Meath. Another brother, the Hon. and Very Rev. Robert Plunket, is Dean of Team. The annual value of the bishopric is 4,8001. THE CATASTROPHE ON moNr BLANC. FURTHER PARTICULARS. Twenty-six guides left the Grande Mules at 6 an. on the 15th for the Grand Plateau ; their progress was watched with great interest, by mesas of powerful gluere, until at last they were observed to divide into parties of twos and threes, sad for some time to wander to and fro, when they were observed to collect together on one spot—" to the right of the Bother Rouge," and from the many anxious glances that were given through all the available glasses in Chamounix the conclusion come to wa s that they had discovered some trace of the deceased. This surmise turned oat to be tree, for at 2.30 eight guides were despatched to Chamounix with the sad news that they had recovered the bodies of the two porters (Joseph and Fran cois Tournier), and that they had. left 18 guides, with the indefatigable Raven Couttet, diligently searching for some traces of poor Captain Arkwright and his guide. ffiniond Michel. After toiling away until nearly dusk they had to return to the Grande Mutate unsuccessful in finding the least trace of Captain Arkwright or his guide. At midday the weather had taken a sudden change, and a very heavy snowstorm began to fall, which very much in creased the dangers and difficulties the guides had to en counter, but towards evening the heavens cleared again, and a fine, frosty evening set in. The following morning the remaining caravan of guides (19) left the Grands Mulete, at 7 o'clock, to return to Chamounix with the bodies of the two porters, and did so without having met with the least trace of Captain Arkwright or his guide, Simond Michel. Two elder brothers of the late Captain Ark 'night were expected hourly to arrive in Chamounix, from England, and it was thought that they would wish an other search to be made for their unfortunate brother. The next meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society will take place on the Gth of November. The recruiting commission has been sitting every day since Monday, all the commissioners, we be limn, except Lord Longford, being present.

One of them was cut to pieces, and the other had its legs cut off by the train, which dashed along, without the driver or passengers being aware that any danger had been encountered, or any risk run. *Prk '1866. LATEST ., [GENCE. II& 0 - SED UNION OF THE GREEK AND LATIN CHURCHES. EXTRAORDINARY STATEMENT• The Incligendanee Beige of yesterday evening contains an account, coming to it from highly re spectable sources and respecting which great eacresy has been observed, of an extraordinary negotiation for the purpose of bringing the Greek church into the bosom of the Latin church. According to our contemporary negotiations have been carried on for some months, through the medium of a foreign power which is not designated, but which it assumes to be France, between the court of Rome and the Patriarch of the Greeks. A basis having been formed and accepted, these negotiations bare been continued and pursued up to the present time, directly between the papacy and the patriarchate, encouraged and seoonded by the good offices of the same foreign power. A grave diffi culty which at first presented itself has been removed. The patriarch held absolutely, and the Pope on the other hand resisted, the marriage of priests. The court of Russia yielded on the prin cipal point, restricting, however, as it has done for the Maronites, the power of marrying to simple priests, the bishops being excluded from this privi lege. Such is the position of the questionat present. The patriarch, disposed to admit this compromise, is at this moment putting forth all his efforts to bring about its acceptance by the religious dig nitaries of the East. It is not difficult, remarks the indipentiatios, to perceive the bearing of such an event if it should be realised, as the mediating power appears firmly to hope that it will be. The Christians of the Levant, recognising as their chief the Pontiff of the West, would be thus re leased from every tie on the side of St. Peters burg. Russia would in consequence lose au power over them, and the West would thus find itself secured against future dangers from Russian ambition towards Constantinople. It is added that these negotiations are connected with the establishment of a constitutional rdgime in Egypt, and with a vast plan which would definitively remove the Eastern question from the number of those which weigh upon our European policy.

It is stated that one-half the population of Orissa has perished from hunger. Cholera has appeared in the famine districts of Bengal. Large subscriptions are being made for the relief of the sufferers. A plentiful harvest is expected. It is reported that Captain Jervis intends to appeal to the Duke of Cambridge and to parlia ment against the decision of the court-martial. He will probably proceed shortly to England. The rebellion in Burmah has proved a complete failure. The report of the Indian Currency Commission is now completed. It declares in favour of the immediate introduction of a gold coinage in India. The James Crossfield, from Calcutta to London, has gone ashore at Point Palmyra,. The Rajpoot, from London to Calcutta, has been totally wrecked. CALCUTTA, CHINA, AND AUSTRALIAN MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, Ocr. 20. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ma:milli*, with the heavy portion of the above mails, has arrived here. She brings 102 passengers, 432,0731., gold dust value 17,0001., Turkish Bonds value 9001., jewellery, &c., value 1,4611., and a general cargo, including 1,706 bales raw silk, value 160,0001. sterling. She experienced fine weather throughout the passage. The Spanish frigate Isabel Segunda, with Senor Dies Dado, secretary of the Spanish Legation at Tangiers, on board, had arrived at Mazagan, and demanded satisfaction for the alleged insult to the Spanish flag by the Moorish Governor Bomejedi, in having seized and punished two Moors under the protection of the Spanish Vice-Consul at Mazagan. The Moorish Governor acceded to all the demands of the Spaniards, made a public apology, ordered the soldiers to be flogged who had carried out his orders, and saluted the Spanish flag.

The North German Lloyd's steamer New York, from New York on the 7th, has arrived with 92 passengers, but no specie. On the Bth she spoke the steamer Bremen. The New York experienced fine weather to the morning of the 13th, when a heavy gale commet from the eastward, increasing to a hurricane at 4 p.m., and at 7 she shipped a heavy sea, com pletely sweeping her forward deck. The ship's chief carpenter and two seamen were killed and two others wounded. No news has been received of the Saxon* which left New York at the same time as the New York and doubtless encountered the same weather. (Br Arurrno rusozArg.) NEW YORE, Ocr. 18 (Prisura).

(rim OUR OW$ col PARIS, FamAT Imam The only political news to-day is the contadich tion of the rumour that a circular had been sent by at ditdoniffeiiis'its ittptamttic Arita it ilse catholic courts. My letter yesterday explainsA the grounds on which this rumour was probably booed, and the denial in this evening's Petry may, after all, be less serious than it seems. It would, evidently be out of place if not to write, at least aa acknowledge, the despatch of a circular on tip, subject of Rome at the moment of the arrival eg X. Mancardi, the director of the public debt ea Florence, who oomes to arrange the delicate goo. Lion of the payment of the interest on the part o t the Roman debt which the Italian government is bound by the treaty of September to provide fcr. His arrival is announced in this evening's papers. - - It ix currently reported in official rimicethe . far from encouraging in any wet the ideal further intervention, either by Spain or any of French government has made proposals to the Pope on the aceeptanoe of which it under. takes to guarantee his temporal power. These pro. posals refer to some internal reforms, which it re. garde as absolutely necessary, and the establish. merit of diplomatic relations with the kingdom o f Italy. The integrity of the present territory wil be guaranteed on these conditions. The soures from which this information reaches me leads eel to believe that it is so far true that such propel.' tions have really been made. It remains to be seen whether Pins IX. will accede to them. We have had this week another of those literary fracas which' from time to time break out epida mically among the members of the French pram This time, thanks to the intervention " • long time ago " of an Italian " patriot " and his stiletto, there has been no bloodshed. The Charioari, by profession of joker of jokes, was indelicate enough to make fun of one of the dii majores of the press—no less a personage than M. Pauli* Limey rac himself. He has been ill, which, friends, acquaintances, and readers alike regretted, but his convalescence had been announced in the Constitetiontw/ when the offensive article was publiahod. It is only fair to give M. de Girardin the eredit of the new arrange ment by which editors in chief now avenge their wrongs by deputy. As he improves everything he touches, so he has improved the Christian precept, and shows how to turn not the other but another cheek to en aggressor. On this occasion the task fell, whether by lot is not stated, to a young writer in the last-born of the government organs, and he forthwith inflicted on the audacious writer of the squib such • heavy pen-castigation as kis disrespect for those sitting in high places melba The editor of the Chariectri, whether he recopied his own thunder in the style or not, resented its use in a paper which does not pretend to wit, sell sent a " friend," two friends, for that is the rule of French duelling politeness, offering the champice the traditionary pistols for two and coffee for cos. I give the diwouenietit in the words of the precis terbal, of course omitting names : The challenged party's seconds refused the pistol, bilk friend Wing been long ago maimed in the right Mad as that he cannot hold a pistol, but he was ready to widi a sword. To the remark that it is difficult to underlie( how the hand which can brandish a sword cannot rap a pistol, it was answered that he could me a sword by al' taching it to his arm. In presence of this deolustios physical infirmity, which renders all demand for sitioba tion according to the ordinary laws of duelling, sad equality of chance, impossible, we can only bks sots of a situation without issue, and declare our misdoe at as ea& I have devoted so much space to a subject of small apparent interest because it is another illus tration of the baneful effect of the law which re quires all articles to be signed. Its object vas to destroy journalism, but it at the same time ended journalists. In proportion as the opinions of ths press lost weight the writers gained a sort of portanoe, and from time to time call attention to) their individuality by personal attacks on each other. As this last affair has had so happily ridi culous a termination we may hope that we •141 hear of no more for some time to come. Radicals kills most things in France ; may it be succesfullse putting down the practice of killing in the duello. The discouragement which, with few exceptions, has reigned at the Bourse for the last three medal, continues to weigh upon its operations. It is VII that the Three per Cents. are quoted this demos without further fall, but it is apprehended thei this is no proof of an early rise. On the watch the tendency is downward. The Credit Mobilise and all the companies which have sprung from b are severe sufferers. At this season there is gene- rally an advance in these shares, caused by the approaching making-up of the books. These have been heavy sales, which have discoursed speculation. Both the Socidte Mobilier and the Parisian Gas have experienced a considerable fall. The Comptoir d'Escompte is also affected by de general weakness. Three per Cents. closed at 68fr. 67c. for account, and Mr. 70c. for elli• showing a fall on the latter of 10c. Italian fall 30c. for cash, and rose 25c. for account. In nil. ways there is little variation. ince& FATAL ACCIDENT A T T .TY THE LONDOXISI DO RAILWA S Mr. Payne, the Southwark corone r, held sa inquiry last evening, at the Vestry-lull, Fair-Walk Horselydown, respecting the death of Clement Wheals, aged 14 years.
