IT is discouraging to have to record the progress and embitterment of dispute& between masters and workmen in the first week of • new year. The artisans connected with the building trade in the Midland districts are just now in a state of greet excitement, owing to an announcement on the part of the masters of an intention to introduce • " "charge note," to be offered to each workman on quitting his employment, and without the pude°. tion of which no master belonging to the Associa tion with which the arrangement originates, will receive him into his workshops. The terms of the note have not, we believe, been published, but from letters which have appeared vs gather that it will express the master's estimate at the workman's character and conduct, and form a record of his " antecedents." Indeed for arty , purpose short of this a note would be unnecessary, as every master may easily satisfy himself in a mask more satisfactory manner of the skill and capacity of • workman presenting himself for employment. The men object to this "discharge note." They say that the masters in putting it forward are in troducing a new element into their contracts with their artisans. It would be more correct to say that they are providing means for the more formal and ostensible recognition of an element which has never been entirely absent from those contracts. Every master in every trade when taking men into his employ acts upon such knowledge as he hap pens to posies, of the personal characters of those who present themselves, and, other things being equal, gives the preference to such of them as are known to be sober and peaceable, and to keep their word. A much more serious objection to the note is that it is the carefully chosen instrument of the masters for carrying out the ends of a new As sociation which they have formed with the object of obtaining complete control over the fortunes of every individual workman. We believe that no I one can read the letters which have been pub lished on behalf of the masters and not be con vinced of this fact. Such expedient is not mam my to protect the masters against bad workmen ; but it may be thought desirable in order to enable employers to punish those among the men who have been foremost in semerting the interests of the employed. The carpenters and joiners of the Midland Counties struck last spring and gained an advance of wages. This, it appears, has not been forgotten or for given. The masters are saying that they have no protection against workmen on strike, if, in conse quence of the abundance of work in the country, the latter can go to another town and immediately get work. It is proposed, therefore, that the masters shall unite in one formidable society to resist what they consider the tyranny of the men. But this is open war, and the discharge note is simply a weapon. We cannot be surprised that it should be so regarded by the workmen, nor that they should be preparing to resist it with all their might. The excitement is strongest at Birmingham, where three hundred and fifty masters have formed them selves into an association and are introducing the note ; but meetings of artisans have also been he'd at Nottingham, Wolverhampton, Malvern, and other towns. What the men have to say to the introduction of a system which p'roclaims • supervision of one clue of Englishmen over the character and conduct of another, may easily be imagined, and need not be repeated. The testi mony of third parties to character is commonly re quired when it is proposed to take a stranger into relations more or less personal and confidential, as when • servant is about to be received into • family or a clerk to be entrusted with the secrets of a business, and everybody acquiesces in the practice as necessary and reasonable. But no such bond fide reason for this innovation can be assigned. It is simply, as we have said, • new weapon forged for the masters. On their part it is said that they were in want of such an one. We cannot deny that it is natural for each party, under the uncon trolled influence of clans-feeling, to call into play every engine which ingenuity can devise against those whom they have chosen to regard as enemies. But the disposition is lamentable, and even in war public sympathy is not usually given to those who bring more effective means of destruction into use. It is, moreover, • question whether the note can do anything but irritate the men and envenom their differences with their masters. If the same propor tion between the supply and demand of labour shall be found to prevail in the building trades four months hence as existed last spring, when the men struck successfully, it is evident that the note cannot be enforced against the will of the men, and nothing will have been gained by its introduction. The masters are evidently the aggressors in this case, and must expect to see a larger measure of public sympathy extended to the men than has been given to them on former occasions when they have been seeking new advantages by combinations. At present the workmen are resisting an innovation intended to reduce them to a most galling bondage, and they would be less than Englishmen if they did not resist. At the same time we ainoerely trust that their sours* will be marked by prudenes and, as far as possible, by conciliation. A strike now must be most calamitous. In fact, wkwasver a JOHN BROODIN.

The great question is still that of the military reorgani %don, obstinately maintained, as is known, by the King in spite of Ce repeated votes of the Second Chamber. It legated in correspondenee that the Prussian government does not intend to submit this scheme of reorganisation directly for the appro bation of the Chamber, which would be obliged to recur to it in the midst of the budget of 1865, under the head of ordinary and regular expenses. If this news is confirmed one cannot fail to recognise here the spirit, fertile in expedients, of M. de Bismarck. It is true that there remain to the Chamber two means of putting a check on the power of the minister--uamely, on the one hand, the examination of the expenses occasioned by the Danish war, and which have been met by the reserves of the state treasury ; and on the other, the contemplated creation of a navy in pro- portion to the continental power of Prussia. It is these two points, as well as the question how far the discussion of the budget shall be carried, with the view of discovering there traces of the re organisation, that the different opposing sections which form the majority of the Prussian parlia ment will have to consider. But M. de Bismarck has doubtless again, to use a vulgar expression, more than one trick in his bag." ROME.

Many poor people find in It • temporary alleviation of their misery, and a eamber of private families reckon on it ea the means of letting their apartineate, their Woollies, and their windows. If that were sot the cam do yon think that the Popes would have always authorised these profane amusements and disorderly rejoicings, which often degenerate into greet limetiouesees? The carnival, I do not hesitate to say, is at Brune quite as institution. The morillae which the Romans have imposed on themselves by renouncing it for several years is not a killing one, and the committee, desiring ant to make any opposition to the government, has done well to mesh- WM it.

Subsequently another horrid spectacle wee exhibited to public pie. Two political satagonistio parties, armed with pistols •ad keine, mat at mid-day in one of the most freqaented streets, and in a deadly 000flict which ensued three of the combatants were mortally wounded. In the attack one of the men had his left hand severed with • blow of a yatagh•n, and the bleeding limb wee carried in procession through the streets. The greatest alarm prevailed during the rest of the day lest the oondict should be re newed. The mutilated man, covered, besidse, with bullet wounds and stabs, and who, it appears, did not belong to the local government party, gave himself up is the after noon to the executive polies, and while getting into a carriage, in the presence of • number of constables and • large crowd of people, for the panicles of being taken off to prime, another fellow came forward and fired a pistol at him, wounding him in the thigh. The same shot struck a oonstable and an unlucky goldsmith who happened to be passing at the time.

Every day lamas not belonging to the government party, and even well-to-do people, are assaulted and treated, and no oee can tell how matters will end.

Governor of the Bask of Prams, Mimed) SOMAS& IMPRESS FROM PARIS (nom ova own ooi PARIS. TIC IDLY EVEKINO. The proposition of M. Oudroult, that the French bishops should meet in a national council to pro- , test against the Encyclical and renew the declara tion of 1682, is the subject of some very sensible remarks by M. Nefftzer in the Temps. It is true enough that the present crisis is far more serious than that which provoked the meeting in Louis XlV.'s time, which voted the resolutions drawn up by Baguet. But there is the capital difference that in 1682 an ecclesiastical assembly enjoyed a prestige which it would have now. In spite of many vices, the old French clergy was naturally independent, for it did not receive government pay. To-day the clergy are little better than government functionaries, and, at any rate, can hold no national and metropolitan council, no diocesan synod, no public meeting, without the express permission of the government Such being the situation of the French clergy, its protest, supposing it could be got to make one, would have uo force or authority against Rome in the eyes of the faithful. According to the Temps, the difference between a clergy dependent on and one independent of the state is forcibly illustrated by the contrast between 1682 and 1865. Then an independent clergy was able to show itself firm towards the Court of Rome, and at the same time pliable to the civil government, without losing caste and consideration ; now a depen dent clergy is for the most part ultra montanist, for the reason that, if it were to side with the state it would be considered servile and lose the esteem of its flocks. The abolition ul the anomalous concordat, the entire separation of church and state, is the aim of the Temps' argu ments. As things stand, it is of opinion that M. Baroche, by prohibiting the Encyclical, has done a great service to those bishops who, as Frenchmen, would have been sorry to have adopted it, but as churchmen could scarcely do otherwise. This view is borne out by the assertion of the independonce that the government originally intended to let the bishops say what they like, but that, on the suppli cation of a minority of them, M. Baroche was good enough to save them from themselves. It is a singular circumstance, and one which the ultramontanist clergy will certainly not fail to put • miraculous construction upon, that M. Baroche had a paralytic attack in his right arm shortly after he signed the circular against the Encyclical ; he now carries his arm in • sling. _ . . M. Louis Blanc, writing to the Temps his im pression of the effect produced in London by the Encyclical, describes it as a mixed feeling of won derment and joy—of wonderment at the folly of the act, and of joy because it is suicidal. It is mum goons to attack a strong man, but only on the supposition that you are aware of his strength ; it is line to die upstanding, if you have the conscious ness you are dying. But the Pope's intrepidity proceeds from sheer blindness and fatuitous vanity. For this reason it is that no sentiment of veneration _ . - _ or even indignation mingles with the laughter and contemptuous pity with which protestant England reads the senile curses of the Vatican. By the Encyclical the Pope has immensely curtailed the area of his own dominion. M. L. Blanc, if asked to define the document, would use a neolo gism and call it the " Decatholisation of the Papacy." He believes it will stay the catholic wove merit which was going on in England, by shaking off all those men who dreamt that it was possible to build a bridge between the Vatican and the modern world. Those men are now in this cruel position, that they must either be dragged through the mire by the Pope to the gulf of absurdity, or abjectly repudiate every thing that they have hitherto held to be good, reasonable, and true. They must in some sort MOM to be men, or they must become heretics. Many would have given up to Rome a part of their reason who will not resign it altogether. The Encyclical is the charter ' of emancipation of consciences. An affair of honour between M. Ani6d6e de C6sena, of the Pays, and M. Janioot, of the Gazette de France, has terminated without blood shed. The quarrel was in this wise :---The go vernment writer called the legitimist Janicot a harlequin. Thereupon Janioot said M. de Cdeena would be wise to remember that harlequin carried • wand, the office of which was to chastise the clown. Hence the challenge. An account of the duel was anxiously looked for in the evening papers. But a paragraph, signed by M. Janicot, in the Gazette de France, announces that without modifying the general effect of the article com plained of he withdraws so much of it as M. de Gismo considers personally offensive.
