ALICRT DB Boooul, at the bead of the ao-called Liberal _ - Catholic party, are engaged in proving that the maintenance of the temporal power of the Papacy M indispensable to Catholic liberty, and that the Church is a natural friend to political liberty, the Archbishop of Totruirsa, who, it may be reason ably supposed, speak, with authority, and not as an amateur, on such a subject, has recently given his diocesans a taste of his quality which has scandalized public opinion throughout France, and brought down upon the head of the unctuous Pro late a storm of indignant amazement. To be amased or indignant is the privilege of a very few isolated writers under the Second Empire, so well regulated is the public mind, so incapable of thinking fee itself, under the regime of talk ing Ministers without portfolios, an independent parliamentary opposition of Five, and a prase which is free to enjoy all the honours and perils of publicity " during good behaviour." In the pre sent case, however, the Imperial Government is probably not unwilling to permit the eccentricity of an Archbishop, who, like young Rossartesits, evidently " believes all he says," to be severely handled in the liberal journals. Should the Ultramontane and Legitimist press be chivalrous and insane enough to take up the cause of the Archbishop, the Government will be all the better pleased. It will then appear in the double cha racter of defender of the faith and moderator of ecclesiastical pretensions. To the priestly party, on the one hand, to the Liberals, on the other, it will say, as it points to the Archbishop and to the Liberal pram, " See what we permit and " preserve you from." M. &urn= will find in the Archbishop's Pastoral a new text for his eulogy of the Empire as the heir of the Revolu tion, and a justification for interference with charitable associations, and will take credit to the Government for preserving ecclesiastical au thority, as it preserves political liberty, from its own MOMS& However this may be, it is patent to all who have observed with some attention the domestic annals of France, that the monstrous reaction which the Archbishop of TOULOUSE so emphatically personifies, has been, in • great measure, a product of the Second Empire. In consideration of the ungrudging moral support of the clergy, the French EMPEZOR, during the first eight years of his reign; took the Altar into partnership with the Throne, end formed a league of temporal and spiritual domination, sowing the laud thick with monkeries and convents, and committing the education of the poor to brotherhoods and sisterhoods without number, and of every cut of cap and coat. The Jesuits were, probably, never so numerous and powerful in France since Louis XI V. Eighty years after the death of VOLTA IRE a Bishop officially authenticates the miraculous apparition to a young peasant girl of the most approved ignorance, of • Lady in a saffron robe, with • blue sash, and yellow rosettes on her san dals, calling herself " the Immaculate Concep tion," and he enjoins the faithful to remember in their alms and offerings the grotto where the Lady appeared, and to build • church on the spot for the pilgrims from all countries. This floweiy religious enthusiasm, which has always managed to make the best of both worlds, has become a badge of " good company" in Paris, and is in the highest favour at court. On inore than one occasion a Protestant congregation has found itself prac tically under an interdict, and debarred from that common " liberty of worship " which was supposed to have survived all political changes since 1789. But • change has been coming over the Imperial Government since the Italian war, and the bless ings of the clergy are turned into curses. The latest act of the Mtvt+T►:a of the INTERI./14, sup pressing the central council of the Soc , ety of Saint Vincent de Paul, is not of • nature to conciliate the religious world of fashion ; and a recent peti tion to the Senate from the Bishop of Rearms against • village mayor who had the audacity to select • layman for • schoolmaster, is to be sup ported and opposed with all the vehemence and acrimony of a discussion on the rights of the Holy See itself. The Emerson has broken with the Church, and we know what exposures are apt to follow when intimate associates fall out. And it is at such a moment as this that the Archbishop of Tor totes institutes and appoints a solemn jubilee throughout his diocese for the celebration of the tricentenary of a local massacre of Protestants. On the lith of May, 1562, four thousand Huguenots, after signing a capitulation and laying down their arms, wereslaughtered as they went out of the city, as heretics with whom no faith was to be kept. This " glorious event," as the pre sent Archbishop of Tortocas entitles it, took piece just tee years before a still more "glorious event"— the SL Bartholomew's Manure, which M. Louis Verittor was wont to ealebeate with holy joy is the columns of the fhli OEM The Parliament at Toulouse, everlastingly infamous by the Jabal murder of CAL" whose name is weeds to mum the memory of VoLrsiss from ealemey, deemed the "glorious event" worthy to be 00MININIKWated by a centenary festival; and two Pagel bulls established an ordinance to that effect. In 1662 and in 1762 the " fete of thanksgiving to GOD for " four thousand mamainationa," ae VOLTAIRI called it, was duly celebrated ; and now in the eevnth decade of this nineteenth century, the Arch bishop of Touters, jealous, it should sassy of the celebrations of the Court of Da homey, exhorts his flock to " welcome with a " piety worthy of their ancestors the trioentenary " anniversary of a day which recalls at once the " goodness of Goo and the pressing intercession "of His Saints. Toulouse will not fail in the duty " which her history enjoins. Rather she will " show once more that amidst all the vicissitudes " of time she has preserved unabated her Catholic " traditions." To celebrate the tricentenary of a treacherous massacre of four thousand Protes tants by • solemn procession and a religious jubilee, is, according to the soft phreses of the Alunisisuop, to "link anew tho chain of the pest." Our contemporary Le T.mps well asks what would be the effect at Paris if Cardinsl MOILoT should propose to celebrate the anniversary of the St. Bar tholomew Massacre, or some republican fanatics the manner's of September 1 Indignation would soon make way for pity pity for men so blind and besotted as to hope to win converts by manifestations against which the common hu manity of the age protests. Such scandals, indeed, need no protesting voices or stigmatising pens; it is enough that they are published. The silence of the French Catholic journals is significant enough, and we shell be curious to know in what light sincere, but "liberal" Catholics like M. as MONT- A LIMIIZAT and M. A.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THE PRUSSIAN NAVY. The Cologne Gazette says :—"lt is positively asserted to-day that a project for a loan of 12,000,000 thalces for naval purposes will be presented to the Chamber of Deputies on its re-assembling in May next. The money will be applied to the construction of two iron-plated fri gates and several others of smaller sire. The frigates will cost from three to four million thalers, and probably be built in England, which pommel the best establishments for the manufacture of iron plates. In saying that fortresses are useless against iron-plated vessels, and that they will have to be plated also, the Eng lish and French press put forward nothing new. Already the embrasures of Antwerp are protected by an iron roofing which is so constructed ea to make the balls fly off." A new liberal journal, called the Progress, ap peared at Berlin on April 8 at 7 in the morning, and was suppressed at IS in the evening. GENERAL GARIBALDI'S TOUR. General Garibaldi, it appears, has not returned to Turin, as was stated. At the moment when he was quitting Parma to return to Turin, he was waited on by two deputations, one from Cremona, and the other from Pavia, charged with an invita tion to him to visit those places. The General could not avoid accepting, and consequently lunged his plans. A letter dated from Cremona on Saturday last General Garibaldi made hie entry into this city today. The Naliosal Guourds, the corps of exiles and carkilnlen, well r an ill11111111)0 amourse of people, wen waiting hie arrival.

They wished to unharmed+ the home of his car• rho, in order to draw it themselves, but he would not remit this by any means, and he continued his journey slowly under showers of flowers. A great number of ear. lieges followed that of Garibaldi, three of which were filled I/Moak:ars of the regular army; and in another was Steffanelli, general of division, in a black dress, together with his side. de-camp. Os the arrival of the rort4ie at the Trecehi Palace General Steffenelli descended from his carriage to open the gates, which caused great applause. Garibaldi soon appeared at one of the windows of the palace and addressed the crowd, in which he said, amongst other things, " I had a strong desire to address the people of Cremona. Gramma has exhibited on many occasions siren affection towards myself, and given many proofs of its lore of Italy. Thalamic number of the Cremonese in the army shows what Oressema has done for Italy, and when the time comes it will prove still further what it can do." (Grim of " Yes. yea") The rifle shooting will take place to-morrow, and it is expected that Garibaldi will be present at the theatre this e►ening.

THE APPROACHING EPISCOPAL ASSEM BLY AT ROME. The Journal de Toulouse contains a pastoral letter from the Archbishop (the hero of the tri-centonary of a massacre), announcing his departure for Rome, and explaining the motives of it in the following terms : We shall also go to proclaim holiness and justice, and to give a new proof of that power of the church • which when menaced in the present, confidectly takes refuge in her glories of the past. We shall go to convey to the common father of the faithful the wages of a clergy amongst whom the noble traditions of the priesthood cannot be extinguished, upheld, as they are, by the venerable members of oar metropolitan chapter, and by those holy chiefs of the church, whose life in ilea is as instruction. We shall convey to him the profoundly respeothil sestimeate of those numerous religiose coasgregstiona amoupt whom the gospel finds an speetolio eloquence and the most unwearied devotion ; amongst whom charity finds so I:many hearts reedy to extend it in all the forms which it can assume hare below. We shall likewise seam to him the expreeeiou of your faith and filial obedience, we shall tell him that you endure with him the aids which tear the church, the anguish which afflicts her, and the calamities which perhaps menace her in the future. We shall tell him that in the midst of the oonftution in which all principles have fallen nowadays your hearts are true and your will inflexible. We shall tell him, in fine, that you are with Rome in its contest with evil, in its just resistance to iniquity, and that through the clouds which at present obscure the commonest notiona of justice, you are happy to turn your regards to Rome, because, on the summit of its hills, you perceive the day spring, which is illumined, and to lave humanity. " In other words," adds the deck, "M. Julien 'Florian F4lix Desprez, the Archbishop of Toulouse, is going to give adhesion, in his own name and that of the people of Narbonne Gaul, to the temporal power of the Pope. We reply, with this pastoral letter, to the assertions of those who pretend that tie Roma government is not organising a grand matiketntion in favour of the Pope's temporal power." SPAIN. We find the . following in the Correspondancia The Spanish government limbo idea of iteseduding a fresh treaty with Frame relative to the Morita question. This declaration, which we ate formsily antimened to make, overthrows all that the opposition journals say of the pre tended weeknem of Spate with reaped to Wanes, and of the disposition of the Spanish government to teem keep plans, the very existence of which is in fed problemstioaL It may be possible, es we have before mid, that the two governments shoald 000 cert together in ceder to render clear the interpretation of a certain article in the treaty of Lea -1 don, but we can assure our readers that the Spanish govern -1 meat has no intention of concluding a new treaty, and that it will insist on carrying on the Mexican expedition in order to obtain guarantees that the complaints now existing may be satisfied, and that they may not again recur ; without, however, attacking the sovereignty or independence of the Mexican people. The Ost-Dtutsche Post of Vienna announces that the Counter de Chambord is in en interesting situation. The fine portrait of King Victor Emmanuel, by M. J.

Curiosity was excited at Lyons three days ago by seeing some forgivers wearing pointed shoes, simnkw to the Chinese, and having on their heads high and in formed oilcloth caps. They were amertelued to be Asia* merchants, who bad come from Bombay with different valuable productions from the English possessions, intended for the Exhibition of London. These strangers, who speak Engin& with facility, left for Paris to proceed to QAT destination. 'A.USTRLLIA. ARRTiAL OF THE GREAT BRITAIN. The screw steamship Great Britain, Captain Gray, of the Eagle and Black Ball line of Austra lian packets, arrived in the Mersey yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock, having sailed from Melbourne, in company with the ship King of Italy, on the 30th of January, making the passage in 68 days. The ship Yorkshire sailed a few days previously. The Great Britain's cargo includes 60,367 ounces of gold on freight, sonic jewellery, and 465 passengers, of whom 84 were saloon. The ship started to come home, as had been announced, by the Cape of Good Hope, but after continuing on that course for two days she was put about and the usual route round Cape Horn adopted. Light head winds and generally fine weather were experienced nearly throughout the passage, so that the excellence of the run compared with what clip per sailing vessels have lately accomplished may be attributed to the steam power which the vessel pos• sasses. Cape Horn was doubled on the 23rd of Fe bruary, in a perfect calm. The best day's running was made on the 21st of February, when the vessel logged 339 miles. The next best was on the 4th of April, when 304 miles were accomplished. The rest was all steady average steaming. Amongst the cargo is the Australian contribution to the International Exhibition, comprising 50 tons of various goods. The Great Britain left the following vessels at Melbourne :—Donald M'Kay, Elizabeth A. Bright, British Trident, Chariot of Fame, Zoboah, Blue Jacket, and Morning Light. On the 14th of March, in lat. 18.26, long. 29.58, the Great Britain spoke the Petchelee, from Liver pool for Singapore, and on the same day spoke the Rose, from Loudon for Alpe Bay, out 52 days. On the 15th March, spoke the Thracian, from London for Hobart Town. We have advioes from Sydney to January 22. Remarking on the affairs of New Zealand, the Herold says : If, se we have hoard, the privet° instructions to Governor Grey are to make peace with the natives of New Zealand at all sacrifices, then the proposals of his colonial secretory are intelligible. There is a complete reversal of the policy of Governor Browne—an utter repudiation of the conditions which he proposed to the na tives—a total subjection of the colonial to the aboriginal interest. When we say aboriginal in terest, we mean the demands of the natives, not the line of action which would be in the long run conducive to their pesos and prosperity. The land which the late governor declared to be private property is now to be disposed of by a tribunal of the most marvellous structure —and to which none but the colonists will submit. Road making, as a right of government, is to be abandoned ; mardiaers and thieves are to have the privilege of asylum ; the future ask of land is to be submitted to the native Ranging& ; and, finally, the Bing movement 11 to be no longer opposed. It is justly remarked by the Soothers Cron that the Wine of the war is to found an independent kingdom in the centre of a British colony, having the pear tip of victory both in the coma and in the bald. THE ENGLISH CRICKETERS. STuarT, XONDAT. Jai. 27. The City of Sydney arrived punctually this moan ing with the English Eleven, who were landed a little after seven, in the presence of fully 10,000 people. After an enthusiastic reception, they were entertained at a champagne breakfast atTattersalra, Mr. Arnold, Minister of Works, in the chair. They are dining this evening at the Victoria Club, and are highly gratified with their reception. They have suffered so much from seersicimeas that they will be unable to begin pixy until Wednesday ; the match is therefore postponed to that day. PROGRESS OF OTAGO. The Otago Daily Titus of the 17th Feb. says : The population of Otago is still on the increase, and the gold fields continue to prove very productive to the number of miners engaged in working them. Every day tends to prove that gold exists in payable gnaw- Aides over • large portion cd the province, sad that gold mining will continue to form • profitable pursuit to a large population for many years to come. The most noticeable event during the lent month has been the discovery of • new gold field on the Lemmerlew Creek, neer its junction with the Walpori. Opinions concerning it are more or leas conflicting, but the general belief is that it will prove a valuable addition to the already opened gold fields. As a natural adjunct to increased population and large geld traduce, Otago is showing increased pro mo in all the accessories of rapid colonisation. Its chief town, Dunedin, is growing into a large city, and property, es we understand, minuends • high value. Roads are being made into the interior, and lines of ooecbm traverse places where at one time it was matter of difficulty for a horseman to pumas his way. The inland nevi. ration of the rims Is being developed, and agricul tural and pastoral pumnits have been greatly stimulated by the augmented population. The revenues are evincing a most satisfactory return. They show a rateable increase of 60 per cent on the estimates that were weal two months gal" in which it was thought due allowances were made for the additions consequent upon the gold discoveries. The other provinces seem likely to share in the benefits Otago is deriving. The land revenues of South land and Canterbury show an amazing increase. To seek as extent we. this the case in the latter place, that the Provincial Council has decided to buy up the first 60,0001. of the debt contracted by the province for railway construc tion. A considerable feeling is being demonstrated in favour of the separation of the two islands. The southern island has everything to gain by it ; the northern, that is not much accustomed to rely on it. own resources, considers I I it will lose by the diernemberzeing.

The ease appeared to excite a great deal of interest and MN 'cart was crowded. Mr. Lewis, jun., appeared for the defendant, and pleaded not guilty. Christopher Gould, 58 N, maid—On the 30th of Minh last, being Sunday week, at 12 o'clock at noon, I visited the defendant's house, in company with an other constable. The door was open and I walked into the bar. The landlady said, " Walk up, if you please, into the parlour." We were in plain clothes. Mr. Lewis remarked that the polioe bebas sent about to satrap honest tradesmen was disgraceful. He thought that the o = osera ymbem bad been done away with by order of the of Police. It was quite an tin-English custom. The washable continued—We went up to the parlour, and found eight men sitting there. There were • pot aud some standing on the table before the men, containing malt Iroc We stopped there about ten minutes, and saw more IBM eater the parlour, who were served with liquor. There were four pinta and two pots of malt liquor, as well as two glasses of ram and water served to them. It was all brought in by the defendant's waiter. Mr. Barker—How did the parties come in, one or two at the time, or all together ? Witness—Four or five together. They appeared to be different parties of friends. The witness continued—l afterwards maw the defendant and asked him if he knew he was doing wrong. He sahl he thought net He asked ma for my name. Mr. Baker—Do you know where the 18 men you speak of cams from? Whoses—No, I do not ; but I do not think tbey came from any other part of the house, but from the fields. Or sewassioed by Mr. Lewis—The parties came in in batehee of four or five together Mr. Mould (chief clerk)—clerk)—Were you served at the house!

I saw some of the men drinking and smoking. I had that morning come from the Horton police.station to the Islington police-station and then went to the defendant's house. It might probably be four miles from Horton to the defendant's house. I was not tired. We had before that been to • beer.house and caught the landlord in the act of Sunday trading. I swear that the. latch of the door was not open. The door was open about three inches. There was no one being served at he bar, and the customers we re all in the parlour. I did not take the names of the p eople there. I will swear that they did not look like travellers. Mr. Lewis—What do you mean when you my they did not look like travellers? Perhaps you will be kind enough to give the magistrate your definition of • traveller? Witness—They looked like gentlemen who had just come out for • morning :u Oroweramination continued —I will not swear that their boots were not wet, muddy, or dusty.

We then left the portage, and went to the front of the bar, and saw the del t. We told him he was doing wrong, and then took his name and address. He then took our earnest from our warrant cards. Mr. Mould—Were you asked, from first to last, anything as to whether you were t ra vellers, or the place you had come from? -- ---___eartainly not. There was not • word spoken about travellers. - Yr. Lewis—Were you ordered by the Commissioners of Police to go ont on a Sunday in plain clothes to satrap publicans ? Witness—We were out by order of our superior officers. oontinned—l had come that morning from lioxton ; but I canoot say that I was tired. We had been to beershop before we visited the defendant's, ha ted had had • glass of ale there. We caught the landlord of that house. (A laugh) After that we went and caught another. We then thought we had done a good rooreitres work. (Renewed laughter.) It was s dirty day, bet I cannot say whether any of the gentlemen in the parker had travelled far, as I did not look 4 their boots. Ws asked the defendant if he knew he was doing wrong dl serving in the prohibited hones of a Sunday, and is said he did not koow that he was breaking the law. Ws bad halt walked from Holton to Islimfoo, and theme to the Ihissilant's house, which I should say was over fax saw iir. Lewis, io reply to the charge., said this was • OM el the greatest importance to the defendant, who had kept his lame for more than eight years, and had never before bad • emoplaint made against him of the maltose in which Its esedasted his Mousiest. He defended this tumors! as a =Mar of priociple, and not to set bin elp_ against the law, which he hod dear does kis beet to respect and to carry out. TM dehriant's house was practically in the country, being five errata mass from the General Post-c Bee. He eentendel for the defendant that he bad a right to verve persons who had travelled two, three, or four ram The act of parhs meat was intended to stop the opening of house's for the sale of intoxicating liquors, and not to stop tre ed ' =r d am taking the memory refreshment which was good for them. To get to the defendant's house you would go by railway or omnibus. It was sought to show that the TM , sous in the house were not travellers by the question beg asked whether the defendant inquired if the covetable' and others there were travellers or not. He contended that the mere asking a question would not prove that they were travellers. Practically the defendant did the sum thing, for, when spoken t by the police, he said he was net aware that he was doing wrong. The mere fact of asking would be no protection, fora man might have dirt cake, boots, and when asked the question, although he wet have only travelled a abort distance, be world say, "YON sad then what was Vie landbrd to do ? Fortunately. however, no person was in the defendant's house but what was s it . P I ye ll er, and that within the meaning of the act of pada' meot. Now what did the police see ? They saw the snee come in in batches of four or five, m if they had bees walking out some distance. One thing was quite clear, there was no drunkenoees or disorder. It would not matter whether there were eight or eighty m the house if they were travellers, and on that point he should call his worship's attention to the case of Atkins' v. Sellers. To show that the asking whether a man ma • traveller or not was of no importance. be would quote the words of Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, who said, "I lte „ mere fact of making inquiry whether a person was a tra ysuw could not give the publican immunity, bemuse the stitch , expressly said that houses should not be open exceft to travellers.
