The News of the Day is the intelligence —coming to us via Constantinople —of the Russian reverses in Daghestan. It would be the very extreme of disingenuousness, on our part, to affect, for one single moment, to do otherwise than actually exult over the account of this apparently signal failure of the Muscovite expedition under BARIATINSKI— the haughty and insolent expedition of the troops of the CZAR against Daghestan. Our sympathies are so directly antagonistic to the cause expressed by that great marauding expedition, they so entirely harmonise with the patriotic ardour animating those unfortunate races bordering the south-eastern extre mities of E arope—those truly unhappy peoples who are there, turn by turn, trampled under the iron heel of the Russian Autocracy, that it would be absurd, and almost criminal, to " assume " what we cer tainly "have not "—(not "the virtue," but)—the vice of sympathy of any kind, direct or indirect, of any good will or good wishes for the success of the Cossack hordes under BARIATINSKI. The tidings of these Russian disasters upon the borders of the Caspian cannot but thrill even, in the midst of the enervation of exile, to the heart's core of the daring Imaum SCIIAMYL, the grim old lion of the Caucasus. The electric shock of those tidings will pass with lightning velocity, from tribe to tribe, through all those insulated and down trodden nationalities lying between the two great inland seas, the Caspian and the Euxine. From this north western side of the Sea of Azov it will fly from Taurida to Astrakan. Through all that wild country of the Caucasus it will jar like a nerve touched by galvanism—from the barren wastes p_ eopl e d by th e D on C ossacks down to the fair and be autiful regions of Georgia. And throughout all throughout all western Europe at the very lea s t, the news that Russia has met with these re verses will be echoed more or less gladly, will be welcomed here with occult, there with overt exultation. Of all the different provinces or divisions of that great Caucasian region, Dagh„, a ,_ s‘u,the scene of those reverses which have been recently endured by the forces of the Russian Autocrat, are the farthest removed from 115 . They are the farthest removed from us in knowledge as well as i n eireas ge?graphical situation. They lie far beyond 41 u —beyond Geo rg i a . They lie far beyond Bol s h ay% and lasi, beyond Abkhas and Mingril, bey snd beyond even the easternmost borders of Tchetchen. The actual seat of war there, the country of —a guestan, in which BARIATINSKI has met with these s h arp re verses, seemingly to the total discomfiture of his expedition, extends, as we have before intiraatea, along the western margin of the Caspian—from th e river Terek on the north, downwards to Tabasseran. It is there that these "great losses" mentioned in the telegram have been suffered by the Muscovites. A little while longer and we shall have the parti culars of what has there occurred—we shall know the precise nat ure an d th e exac t extent of the reverses endured by BARIATINSKI. All that we know now in regard to them is the simple fact that there have been those reverses, and that those reverses have in their extent and character been really severe. The importance of a check like this lies, however, not so much in itself as in its influence upon the surrounding provinces of the Russian Empire.

Let that hatred once get kindled fairly, and it will spread and spread, borne onward upon the wings of the wind , like a fire upon the prairies. It has been so before. It may be so now again, and possibly more signally, from this starting point in Daghestan. Despotic and gigantic as it is, the power of Russia is all the more vulnerable from head to heel, by reason of its very magnitude. Look at the mere outlines of the monster, sketched upon MERCATOR'S chart of the Globe : lying—half in Europe, half in Asia— stretched "at all its lubber length ! " From the Baltic to Behring Straits ! From the Arctic Ocean to Asia Minor ! There it extends its huge bulk across the whole width of the old eastern hemis phere ! Bordered on the south—such is its stupen dous vastness—by the entire breadth (in succession) of Turkey, of Persia, of Caubul, of the enormous Chinese Empire—peopled (this last portion alone of the southern frontiers of Russia) by 400,000,000 Asiatics ! Yet, not satisfied with this, Russia, as we know, is ever striving to advance her titanic power, to extend her giant dominions, further and further and further in all directions. Her attempted incursion westwards, it will be re membered, cost Europe the last great war, the war of the Crimea. It was the insolent endeavour of the Muscovite despotism to plant its standard at Constantinople that constrained the allied Powers of Western Europe to send their maritime arma ments hurriedly to the Golden Horn, and to dis embark their military forces successively at Varna and Eupatoria. Driven back there, the Russians have since been sedulously endeavouring to com pensate themselves in the south-east and in the north-east simultaneously for that most bitter dis appointment. They have been carrying fire and sword with ruthless determination from one extremity to the other of the Caucasus. They there a year or two back drove at last to bay, by those deadly and reiterated acts of fury— drove at last to bay there in his rocky stronghold that dauntless warrior, whose name we have already particularized. The subjugation of those regions remaining since then apparently complete, ever since SCIIAMYL was captured, and his keen bold blade restored to its sheath. Simultaneously with these pitiless onslaughts upon the Caucasian mountaineers, the Russian Autocracy has been steadily and resolutely pushing forward, by the baser means of intrigue and chicane, along the northern boundaries of China. Everywhere, in fact, along her own boundaries, north and south, east and west, Russia is striving after opportuni ties for aggression and absorption. The pressure of her power in this way upon surrounding nations is, in a manner, inevitable. The force of it is that, so to speak, of the mere vis inertia. NAPOLEON the GREAT in the calmness of his last years at St. Helena—[and remember in regard to this those noble lines of the poet CAMPBELL— " The sunset of life has a mystical lore, And coming events cast their shadows before I") — NAPOLEON the GREAT, in the calmness of the sun set of his wondrous life as it closed upon the ocean rock of St. Helena, recognised this innate force and impulse of Russia with a prophetic eye, recognised it as a Necessity. "In fifty years Europe will be Cossack or Republican !" In effect that memorable prediction is already fulfilled. The Cossack power has been rolled back upon itself from the date of the Crimean War by the indignant impulse of Western Europe: And it has been rolled backed upon itself all the more effectually from the fact of " the slope of Russia being to the east" as was finely said by LAMARTINE. Everywhere but in Russia the haughty and dominant power of mere brute despotism has died out, or is dying out past redemption —as effec tually as though Europe had become or were becoming Republican. Austria is shaken to her centre. Lombardy has been torn from her. The allegiance of Hungary is in perpetual jeopardy. The tyrannous power once wielded at Vienna by the KAISER is virtually at this moment at once bankrupt and paralysed. Prussia has long since had to harmonise its own despotic system with the liberal institutions expressed under the forms and titles of a constitutional and representative Government. The Sultan CALIPH has for years and years found his only security for the pre servation of his turban-crown, and of his sceptre in political, and social, and religious concessions suited to the spirit of the age, or what is called the genius of modern civilisation. Even that great armed revival of the Napoleonian Empire upon the opposite shores of the Channel reveals to us a Chief, who boasts that his power is the result of a free election by Universal Suffrage, a chief who is always ostentatiously avowing him self to be amenable to the influence and authority of Public Opinion. Everywhere the power of Autocracy is dying out, we repeat, but in Russia— everywhere, even in that stubborn old stand-still Empire of China, where it is notorious that during these five or six years last past the imperial autho rity has been confronted, and bearded, and in _every way imperilled by an armed, a wide spread, and hitherto, for the most part, a triumphant insur rection ! Autocracy, in effect, is clearly doomed— •on all sides—even in Russia, where the CZAR himself has had his nobler ambition directed to the emancipation of the serfs ! It is idle, then, even for this still strong and vigorous despotism of the Im perial Government of St. Petersburg —it is idle even for the great Muscovite Autocracy to dream any longer these old-world dreams of complete political subjugation and territorial aggrandise ment. The hug of the _Russian Bear is even shaken off by the little Caucasian province of Daghestan May a brighter era for those hitherto unhappy races date from the day of the defeat of BARIATINSRI The Orangemen of Belfast seem to be emulous of their comrades at Kingston and Toronto. It would indeed be a sad thing for the provincial zealots to win the belt from those of the very metropolis of Orangeism ; so, as the Canadians mobbed their Prince and a Duke, the Irialamen mobbed their Dichop. As to success in their operations both are pretty mucia - ;,,i . par. The Canadian kept their Prince f:eom landing at one place, and dragged him, he not knowing it, under an Orange arch 5. a another. The Belfast mob drove their Bishop, three-fourths of the clergy present, and a deputation from London, all oil the platform together. They beat decidedly. As to th e personages ' vanquished, a Prince and athaa Duke are, we suppose, greater folk, socially, a Bishop and a dozen or so of clergy men ; but, then, was an ecclesiasticaleelesiastie abl the Bishop was a spiritual Lord, an at i tl r e an w d e ee w ; il a l n n d ot as ' d t e h n i y s that the Belfast mob relatively, th e religiou s , may have beaten, greater man. Perhaps, .howev er , if we refer to th e same umpire would HEENAN and SAYER S as decided bet ween , h e both Canadian and Irish Orang award a b e lt t o emen. We cer tainly cannot easily tell w hi ch hit hardest all the laws of decency. The time selected by Orangemen for mobbin g a Bishop was the vary appropriat e one of a meeting in the town, of the " Society for the P ro p agat i on of Bis the Gospel in Foreign .Parts." One might suppose - that the Orangemen wished to justify the ridicule heaped, by CHARLES DICKENS and others, on societies for enlightening the natives of Bhorioboola Gha and other distant lands, while their efforts were so much needed/ at home. Certainly they afforded unmistakable evidence that no forei:gn parts needed the Gospel more than themselves. For, if we look to the sacred volume which contains the first records of our faith, we are reminded at once of two public meetings—at one of which, a mob of unconverted Jews cried out that the Apostle PAUL was unfit to live, precisely because he said he was commissioned to carry the Gospel to foreign parts —while, at the other, a theatre-full of frantic idolators cried out for a couple of hours " Great is Diana of the Ephesians !"—and, as if Belfast Orangemen should not want good heathen example, we are informed of these poor fanatics that, " some cried one thing and some another, for the assembly was confused, and t7ie most part knew not wherefore they were come together." We think our readers will agree that the primitive rows about " propa gating the Gospel in foreign parts" were most worthily re-enacted by the Orange mob of Belfast. The chief facts of the case seem to be these, The Bishop of DOWN, who according to the custom of the soeiety referred to, was to take the chair at its annual meeting at Belfast, had grievously offended the Orangemen. In the exercise of his episcopal discretion he had forbidden a clerical Orange de magogue, as we suppose him to be, from the fact of the Bishop's interference, to preach in the parish chuych of Belfast, at an Orange anniver sary. The Vicar, Dr. MILLER, disregarded the Bishop's prohibition, and allowed him to preach, and the Bishop consequently took legal proceedings, which are still pending, in vindication of his autho rity. What occurred at this meeting proved plainly enough, that the Bishop might have the best of rea sons for keeping the forbidden clergyman from the pulpits of Belfast, for whatever his prudence might have been, the materials on which he was to ope rate were inflammable enough. The meeting con sisted largely of what appeared to be working men and women . ; and when the Bishop, with a good staff of clergymen appeared on the platform, a scene followed which beggars all description. Groans, hisses, Kentish fire, shouts and noises of all kinds alternated with attempts to get order by persons, it would seem, of different parties ; but it was utterly impossible to get even a hearing Here is a little specimen of Belfast Orangeism in connection with " propagating the Gospel in foreign parts":— " A Vona—Down with the Bishop 1 (Tremendous groans.) "Another Voien—Don't dar e t o go i n that chair ; youd disgrace it. (Hisses and groans.) Order, order.' (Kentish fire.) Put the Pope out of him.' (Kentish fire.) He is a Puseyite." To h-1 with the Pope! (Groans.) " The Bishop took the chair. " A VOICE —Put him out; out with him. 'No Puseyite.' No surrender.' Throw him out of this.' (Tremendous cheering and Kentish fire.) Three cheers for Dr. Miller." (Cheers.) Groans for the Puseyite.' (Tremendous groans.) "Dr. MILLan. here rose on his feet simultaneously with the bishop. "A Toren —Hear Dr. MILLER. "Another Velez—You'll beat him, MILLER, my boy. (Cheers and Kentish fire.) " The Bishop hero looked round him, and faced the raging storm. Nearly the whole audience got on their feet, and groaned and hissed. This lasted fully five minutes. "Rev. Mr. SEAVER—This is disgraceful. I never thought such a scone as this could occur. (Groans and Kentish fire.) "BISHOP--I call upon Dr. MILLER to open the proceed ings " A VOICE —There will be no proceedings opened till youleave that. (Cheers.) "The BISHOP —To open thb proceedings by prayer. (Groans.) "A shout —Will you go out of that at once ? No more of your gammon. (Kentish fire.) " Hero the groaning continued for about two minutes. "The BISHOP (as understood)—You just needed one more exhibition to ruin you, and you have got it. "A VOICE—What is that he says ? What are you say ing ? (Shouting and groaning.) After a long time spent in this manner, some gentlemen on the platform attempted, vainly however, to gain a hearing. We are told that— " The Bishop, during the time the whole scene of this scandalous insult was progressing, looked steadily upon the raging mass of faces, apparently deeply moved. " A VorcE—Three groans for Judas. Three cheers for Dr. Miller." Very soon after, the account proceeds thus : " Hero considerable shuffling took place at the corner of the platform. Several ladies appeared to be greatly frightened. The audience rose en mane to their feet, and the groaning and abusive language used towards the Bishop were absolutely frightful. " The Bishop rose, as if to say something. His brother and several ladies went towards him, and implored him to leave, which he did, in their company, after a last look at the savage scene before him. Four-fifths of the clergy men on the platform accompanied the bishop down the back stairs to the back-door, and left with him. The mem bers of the deputation, the Rev. Mr. Downing, and the Rev. Mr. Moeran, remained behind. " Their object being accomplished, in a scene which baffles description —the head of the Church to which they profess to belong having succumbed to their fury—a long round of Kentish fire, intermingled with such epithets as The Pope is gone,' The Puseyite is chased," Down with him," Away with him,' brought this part of the per formance to a close, by a man shouting, They're a parcel of scandalous ruffians ; they're well away.' (Dreadful cheering.)" Peace, of its kind, was now restored. The mob had triumphed. Their favourite, Dr. MILLER, took the chair: The deputation from the parent so ciety very properly left. The. devout Dr. sum moned them to calm their minds by prayer ! ! He talked very devoutly of the " glorious WIL LIAM ;" vindicated the meeting from what might seem like bad feeling; and concluded with—the Doxology ! Such is the last display —no, the latest, we mean— would that it were the last—of Orangeism. To compare it with the old interruptions of public meetings by Chartists is to dishonour the latter. They sometimes did take possession of places where religion was the object of the meeting, but on these occasions they always behaved with decorum. It has been left for Orangemen, to cherish a temper which men meeting even for a religious object could not control, and to maltreat in the most disgraceful manner one of the Heads of the Church to which the ruffians profess to belong. The condemnation of the doings of the scum of London gathered from Three millions of people at St. George's-in -the-East, has been loud enough, even from those who censured severely the doings of the offending clergyman ; but nothing that we heard of them could surpass in vulgarity, frenzy, and outrage of all propriety, the conduct of these men towards their spiritual head, and at what was, in every reasonable sense, a religious meeting. Hitherto this hateful combina tion against social peace and order, with its parallel combination in the Roraish Church in Ireland, have defied all the efforts of law and of high influence, to repress them. They must, we suppose, be endured for a time as local ulcers to be healed only by gra dually infusing sounder health into the Irish body politic. The Empress is expected to return to Prance on the 10th of next month. The Emperor goes to Compiegne on Monday. His Excellency the Greek Minister, who has been indisposed for some days past, is, we are glad to learn, much better.

The following is the order of the day published by General Benedek on his arrival at Verona on the 14th inst. : " The confidence of the Emperor has intrusted me with the chief command of the army in this country. I am indebted to the zealous activity and great professional knowledge _of my predecessor, Count Degenfeld, at present Minister of War, for the excellent instruction and military aptitude of the troops, who are animated by the most excel lent spirit, and I place myself with the greatest confidence at the head of this important por tion 'of the old Austrian army, so justly cele brated, and under whose flag I have been brought up, having gained experience with the glorious Radetzki. I have shared the good and evil fortune of the army for 38 years, and I reckon in its ranks thousands of comrades whom I know personally and esteem greatly. I shall never forget that several generals of the army I now command were a year ago my senior comrades, and I am justly proud to see my august fellow officer in the Italian campaign of 1849, H.I.H. the brave Archduke Albert, place himself under my command with noble self-denial. It is for the army, as well as for myself, its chief, to show ourselves worthy of this magnanimity, which does us so much honour. I am fully sensible of the great responsibility of the command confided to me, but I have no hesitation in assum ing it, with the conscience of my moral power and firm will, with devoted loyalty to our Emperor and military chief, and the sacred sentiments of a sol dier's honour. I take the command, and will exercise it severely, but with kindness, firmly, and with jus tice, without arrogance in prosperity, and with calm ness and without discouragement in misfortune. Let each perform with joy and with love of the service the duties of his office and of his position. I rely on the most obliging participation, and when cir cumstances shall require it, on the free and respon sible co-operation of each in the accomplishment of the great object. Let our efforts be constantly directed to take care of the soldier, and have every possible consideration for the citizen, but let the honour of the army be with us sacred before every thing. As regards the serious aspect of the future, I rely OR the discipline and unflinching bravery of the troops, on my upright intentions, on my old good-fortune as a soldier, and on the Divine bless ing. We desire, then, to live in this way as brave and faithful soldiers of the Emperor, and if the day of combat should come, to conquer, or to die with honour. Long live the Emperor ! ITALY. "BENEDEL' The Semaphore of Marseilles says :—" General Ulloa, Minister of War to Francis 11., the Duke de Villanova, and a detachment of 50 Swiss for the Pontifical army, has just left this port by the steamer Vatican, for Civita Vecchia." The Opinione of Turin, in what appears to be a semi-official article, distinctly confirms the truth of the statement that Garibaldi had demanded to be appointed Lieutenant-General of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies for one year, with unlimited powers; and adds that, if his request has been re fused, it is only because it would have been uncon stitutional to grant it. On the same subject, the Nationalites says: " Garibaldi's demand is easily explained; he has but one object in view, and he wanted to reserve to himself the means of attaining it. But a constitutional ministry could never consent to see a state formed within the State, and one-half of the kingdom removed from under their power. We are not flatterers, but we sincerely believe that as regards Garibaldi, the Ministry have dono what they could, and that it was impossible for them to go any further. The Nationalites of Turin, alluding to the story of Garibaldi's having found great embellishments at Caprera ; as also to another, to the effect that, in stead of such a compliment, the gallant general had found a distress levied on his furnitaire by the tax•gatherer, contradicts them both in the most positive terms. A letter from Turin of the 19th says :—" I have thig day seen a person who has arrived from Gaeta via Rome—a journey which for some time past has been rarely taken. . This traveller is a simple contractor, sent by the Government of Francis 11. to different places to purchase for Gaeta provisions of all kinds, and even wheat. He tells me that it was impossible to buy anything at Civita Vecchia, all articles having doubled in price in the territory which still remains to the Pope. The town of Gaeta, he says, is full of soldiers ; 2,000 men are lodged in barracks, and 3,000 with the inhabitants. What has been said about the garri son having been doubled by the arrival of bodies of troops, is quite inexact. The same person con firms the news brought by telegraph ; that is to say, that great confusion prevails at Gaeta, and that defections are numerous. Above all, discord pre vails among the chiefs, and insubordination among the soldiers; the extra duty of removing stores,clean ing out barracks, &c., imposed on the latter, is very generally refused; and, among other things, the men would not carry a quantity of projectiles to the batteries, and yet the latter have so little ammuni tion that they cannot fire long in case of an attack. The King scarcely ever goes out, and it is only at rare intervals that members of the Royal family, who are clothed in black, were to be seen in the garden of his residence." Another from Turin of the same date, in the Constitutionnel says :—" M. Matthieu and M. Daziani, Governors, the former of Cagliari and the latter of Sassari, in the island of Sardinia, have just arrived in this capital, accompanied by a deputation of the councillors-general of those two provinces, who demand that they may have the same advan- tages on the continent as regards railways and other means of communication. It oannot be denied that the island of Sardinia, notwithstanding its riches, has been hitherto much overlooked. The Minister of Public Works has already received those deputations, and has promised soon to occupy himself with satisfying their demands, but he at the same time explained to them that they had chosen a very bad time to ask for a railway. From 10,000 to 12,000 men have just been embarked for Sicily in the different parts of the Italian penin• sula. The King will proceed to Palermo when the island shall have been occupied. When all the Piedmontese troops have reached Sicily the garr son of the citadel of Messina will be, for the lass time, summoned to surrender, and in case of refusa. hostilities will recommence. M. Mordini is to re• tain the prodictatorship until the arrival of the King s which will not take place until the 25th or 26th." THE FRENCH MAILS.—Mr. Blake, M.P. for Waterford, Dr. Gray, one of the directors of the Royal Atlantic Steam-boat Company (Galway line), and Mr. Leyster O'Beirne, secretary to the company, have been here for some time negotiating for the conveyance of the French mails by the above route, as well as for that of telegraphic intelligence to and from America, vie St. John's. In the event of Government granting a subsidy, it is intended that a weekly service shall be substituted for the present fortnightly one. Interviews have been had on the subject with Prince Napoleon, who is favourable to the project, and on Sunday last Dr. Gray and Mr. O'Beirne had an audience of the Emperor at St. Cloud, for the purpose of giving all necessary information, and his Majesty is said to be also favourable. There are still some difficulties with reference, I believe, to other companies, but it is expected they will be removed. As it was deemed desirable to have resolutions from the Chambers of Commerce of the leading commercial cities of France in favour of the Government countenancing the pro posal, applications were made to Paris, M a rseilles, Bor deaux, Havre, and Nantes. The last three hav e answered favourably ; the Paris Chamber of Commerce meets to-day to consider the subject; aad the resolution. from Marseilles is expected in a fow days.

TIIEJESUITS AND VICTOR EMMANUEL The Superior of the Jesuits has addressed the following protest to the King of Sardinia : " Sire,—The Superior-General of the Company of Jesus approaches respectfully the foot of the throne of your Majesty to obtain justice and repa ration for the grave wrongs his order has recently suffered in Italy, and, if his demands are vain, at least publicly to protest against such acts of in justice. " After the first agitations in Italy which took place at the end of 1847 and at the commencement of 1848, all the establishments and colleges pos sessed by the Company of Jesus in the Sardinian States, whether in the Island of Sardinia or on the mainland, were suppressed, its goods confiscated, its members ignominiously dispersed. " To give an appearance of legality to those acts of injustice, a decree was published, posterior to that which suppressed the said company, which confis cated its property, and imposed sundry gratuitously vexatious obligations upon its members. " That decree was issued without the knowledge of your august father, Charles Albert, and even contrary to his intentions ; for during the whole of his reign that King showed himself favourable to our order, and when the storm burst he exhorted the fathers to remain firm ; perceiving the fears of some of them, he complained t o th e super i ors t h at they did not place sufficient confidence in his word and intention to protect them. Although the de cree could not have a retro-active effect, it has been, nevertheless, invoked to legitimise the act of our spoliation—it has been maintained and put in full force by the Government which, since then, presides over the destinies of the kingdoms. " Dating from the war of Italy, which took place last year, up to the present moment, the company has lost in Lombardy three establishments and col leges, six in the Duchy of Modena, 11 in the Papal States, 19 in the kingdom of Naples, and 15 in Sicily. Everywhere the company has been lite rally stripped of all its property, personal or landed. Its members, to the number of about 1,500, have been turned out of their establishments in the towns ; they have been led by armed force like malefactors from country to country, thrown into the public prisons, and grossly maltreated ; they have even been prevented seeking an asylum in the bosom of some pious family, and in many localities neither their age nor infirmities have been re spected. " All these acts have been committed without anything culpable in the eye of the law having been brought against the victims, without judicial form ; the proceeding was most savage and despotic. " Had such acts been done in a popular rising by an ignorant and furious populace, perhaps we should be able to put up with them in silence ; but as an attempt has been made to legitimatize them by the Sardinian law; as the Provisional Govern ments established in the States of Modena and of the Church, as the Dictator of the Two Sicilies himself have supported them on the authority of the Sardinian Government; as, finally, to give strength to these iniquitous decrees and sanction their execution, the name of your Majesty has been and still is invoked, I can no longer remain a silent spectator of so great an act of injustice, and in my position as supreme Head of the Order I feel myself rigorously bound to demand j us ti ce an d sat i s f act i on, an to protest before God and before man, so that religious resignation and meekness may not appear to have degenerated into a weakness which might be taken as a confession of culpability or as an abandonment of our rights. " I therefore protest solemnly, in the form which I think best, against the suppression of our esta blishments and colleges, against the proscriptions, banishments, imprisonments, violence, and insults inflicted upon my brpthren in religion. " I protest, before all Catholics, in the name of the rights of the Holy Church, sacrilegiously vio lated. " I protest in the name of the benefactors and founders of our establishments and colleges, whose wishes and express intentions in founding those pious works in the interest of the d ea d an d o f the living are thus deprived of effect. " I protest in the name of the right of property discarded and trodden under foot by brute force. " I protest in the name of the right of citizen and inviolability of person, neither of which can be despoiled without accusation, trial, and sentence. " I protest in the name of the rights of humanity, so scandalously outraged in the persons of so many feeble old men turned out of their quiet asylum, deprived of all support, thrown into the public highway without the means of existence. " If, unhappily, I can give no other aid to my brethren, they will see, at least, by this step that their common father is not indifferent to their sad position. " I address this protest to your Majesty's con science. I place it upon the tomb of Charles Em manuel IV., illustrious predecessor of your Ma jesty, who 45 years ago voluntarily left the throne now occupied by your Majesty, came to live and die with us, dressed in the clothes and bound by the oaths of the Compan3 of Jesus, and professing in our novitiate at Rome, where his blessed ashes now repose, that mode of life which the Govern ment of your Majesty has persecuted with fierce calumny and hatred. " The; remembrance of benefits constantly con ferred in past times by the illustrious House of Savoy on the Company of Jesus, and the sublime character with which your Majesty is invested, give me hope that my supplications and protesta tions will not be unavailing. " But if the voice of so many rights trodden under foot should not be listened to by earthly tri bunals, I will then appeal to that supreme and ter rible tribunal of a holy, just, and all-powerful God, before whom oppressed innocence witl infallibly be re-established by the Eternal Judge, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords. It is in the hands of that God that I place our whole cause, and, fully reassured as regards ourselves, I supplicate Him to inspire your Majesty, and the men who advise you, with sentiments of justice and equity towards so many innocent men, my unjustly persecuted and oppressed children. Moreover, under all circumstances my brethren and myself will console ourselves in having been found worthy to suffer for Christ's sake, with the satisfaction of our consciences of not having given any ground for this revival of ancient hatred, it is to have preached the us Christ, respect and obedience to th i‘ e f H a jeoslyty,Cshmutocsht and to its Head the Sovereign Pontiff, submi ss i on and fidelity to Princes and to allauthorities esta blished by God.—l remain your humble servant, sc PIERRE BECEZ, Superior-General of the Company of Jesus.

Note of the French Ambassador in Switzerland to the President of the Confederation on the pro ceedings which took place on Sept. 27, 1860, in the railway station at Sion respecting the French flag Bee, Oct., 1860. M. le P res id ent,—The Emperor's Government has been informed of the regrettable proceedings which took place at the opening of the railway at Sion on Sept. 27. This fresh insult to the French flag makes it impera tively necessary that the Federal Council should take steps to show that it highly disapproves of the hostile sentiments which a portion of the population, misguided by unjust provocations, manifested towards France. I have there fore to demand of your Excellency that the authors of that reprehensible manifestation be immediately discovered and punished. Your Excellency, I hope, will readily comprehend how desirable it is that the good relations which it is necessary to maintain between the two countries should not suffer a lamentable interruption through any fresh delay in afford ing us due and proper satisfaction.—Receive, &c., TURGOT, Ambassador of France. Answer of the Federal Council to the note of the French. Ambassador in Switzerland on the pro ceedings which took place in the railway station at Sion : Berne, Nov. 7. The Swiss Federal Council has had the honour to receive the note of his Excellency the French Ambassador, dated Oct. 9, complaining of the fresh insult offered to the French flag at Sion. His Excellency is of opinion that this insult makes it im peratively necessary that the Federal Council should take measures to show that it highly disapproves of the hostile sentiments which a portion of the population, misguided by unjust provocations, manifested towards France, and he de mands its immediate and decided interference for the dis covery and punishment of the authors of this reprehensible manifestation, adding that if the satisfaction which is justly due to France should be further delayed, this must lamentably interrupt the good relations which it is neces sary to maintain between two countries. The Federal Council as early as September 30 received from the mouth of the president of the Council of the Can ton of the Vallais information of the proceedings that took place in the railway station at Sion on the 27th of that month, and at the same time it received an assurance that steps would be immediately taken in accordance with the laws of the canton against the authors of this in all respects lamentable manifestation. As early as October 6, the Council of the Vallais issued a proclamation to the people declaring its entire disappro val of such acts committed by individuals, and forbidding such acts in future. The Council has, moreover, convicted the offenders before the proper tribunals, in so far as they acted against the law and the authorities charged with its execution. In so doing the said government believed that it took the proper measures in a case to which no interna tional character can be attributed, and in which the railway company had made no complaint. This company, which displayed the colours at Sion, can only be regarded as a Swiss company. Their rights are based on a Swiss conces sion; they work to this day exclusively on our territory; they stand under the protection of our laws; and accordingly they have to appeal to Swiss tribunals if they imagine themselves injured in their rights or property. The Federal Council, which regards the matter in the same light as the government of the Vallais, considers, therefore, that the Sion affair has through the measures adopted by that government received a just, simple, and conclusive settlement. If, as the aforesaid despatch of the French Ambassador shows, the French Government is of a contrary opinion, that despatch shows also that only erro neous and exaggerated reports could have called it into existence. Only in.this way can the Federal Council ex plain the matter to its own satisfaction, especially as it re sults from the information of wholly impartial and trust worthy persons who were present at the incident, that only one tricoloured flag was taken away from the train, that that was immediately afterwards replaced, and moreover that this flag bore the Italian and not the French colours. This circumstance is confirmed by trustworthy witnesses, so the complaint of the Marquis Turgot falls to the ground of itself. But even granting that it was a flag with the French na tional colours that was taken from the locomotive, the Fe deral Council would not see in that a case calling for diplo matic intervention. the Federal Council cannot consid,sr foreign flags hoisted on Swiss territory by individuals, societies, or companies, without official character or federal authority, as anything but ornaments, chosen to serve that purpose by the persons who display them, having the same rights as any other private property, but to which they can not attribute anything of a national character, and which they cannot look upon as in any way representative of the nation whose colours they bear. If we look for the principal cause of the event of the 27th Sept., we find it undoubtedly in the acts of the railway com pany itself, which, instead of obeying the official request which the government of the Vallais sent it by a special messenger, to abstain from ornamenting the train with any thing that could give occasion or pretext to disagreeable demonstrations, first debated whether it should obey this request or not, and then concluded not to obey it, thus offering a lamentable provocation. The Federal Council sincerely regrets the excitement of men's minds which has been manifested by a part of the population on the frontiers of the two countries, as well as the deeds to which it has given rise in both sides. Switzer land, however, has no occasion to reproach herself with anything that may have brought about such a state of things, and no one wishes more than the Federal Council a return to the former friendly relations. But to this end it is more than ever necessary that people should on both sides abstain from everything that may provoke each other, and that both sides should avoid attaching importance to isolated manifestations which are only the work of a few individuals, and which are disapproved of by the autho rities of the country and the vast majority of the inhabitants. The Federal Council, in giving these explanations to the French charge-d'affaires, takes the opportunity of assuring Count de Massignac - of its perfect consideration. In the name of the Swiss Federal Council, FREY HEROSEE, President of the Council. SCHIESS, Chancellor of the Council. LIFEBOAT SBRVICBS. The following report has been forwarded to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, of the addi tional valuable services performed by the Ramsgate Harbour Commissioners' lifeboat, in conjunction with their steam to Aid, to a distressed ship and her crew on the Goodwin Sands. "Royal Harbour, Nov. 22d. " Last night, about 10p.m., blowing a strong gale, S. S.W. and thick with rain, a bright light, apparently that of a flare-up light, was observed from the East Pier, bearing about S.E., in the direction of the North Brake. The Aid steam tug and the Northumberland lifeboat were im mediately manned and proceeded out with all despatch in that direction. On nearing the North Brake we saw a brig riding, and on her crew seeing us approach, showed the flare-up light again, and kept it burning until the lifeboat had got alongside. We then put two men on board. The lifeboat cable, which had been made fast to the brig, then y with th e tid e an d up to the brig, we put five m ore men on a p t a r r o t n e g d, ga a l n e d . t l h , e he li A fe i b d oa a t ga d in ro t v o e we a d wa her atlhoonuegtpsluvidimterf the bri g b e i ng very leaky, fatigu e and labour.

About 3 . 30 a.in. we slipped her cable, took her in tow through Cudd Channel, and arrived about 5 a . m . at Ramsgate. She proved to be the collier brig Brad foid, of London, bound to Havre, with small coals, very leaky, pumps choked, from two to three feet water in her hold, loss of an anchor and cable; had her sails blown away, and the crew worn out by fatigue.

TIIE NEW STEAM BATTERIES.—The information Which appeared last week on this subject in the columns of a military contemporary, relative to the non-acceptance of any of the tenders sent in to the Admiralty, is somewhat overstrained. The Admiralty, we believe, have never de parted from their original conviction, that the form origi nally designed for the Warrior is the best that experience has suggested. Opinions, however, have been expressed that a slight form of departure from the lines in the upper portion of the batteries is desirable, and it is with the view of considering this suggestion that th e accep t ance o f t h e tenders has been delayed for a few days. The battery is to be constructed at Chatham-docks, and will be built on the original lines ; and it is expected that the same course will be pursued with regard to those entrusted to the hands of contractors, the drawings for which are being prepared at Chatham. The batteries now building are progressing as rapidly as, from the heavy nature of the work, can be anticipated. The Warrior will be ready for the engineers of Messrs. Penn to commence work in a day or two, and though the launch is promised early in December, it will probably be delay e d till th e l a tt er en d o f t h at mont h , after which she will be t a k en i n t o th e Vi ctor i a -d oc k s t o b e f i tted with her machine r y, a ll o f w hi c h i s rea d y . Work men from Woolwich Arsenal are at wor k on b oa rd /preparing the pivots for her guns. Th e b a tt er y building at Glasgow i s proceeding rapidly, and Mr. Napier will no doubt have her ready for launching early in the spring. The smaller bat teries will probably be launched about the same time. By the summer of 1861 we shall have four batteries afloat and ready for service—two of 6,000 tons and two of 4,000 each, with three of 6,000 tons building.—Plymouth Journal.
