Notwithstanding the difficulties that have hedged :he path of the King of GREECE, it seems likely that the matter will speedily be settled by the acceptance of the decision of the Conference on the part of Greece. So far all is promising for the cause of peace ; and those who have been agitating themselves and distracting others by predictions of partial war and general disturbance may dismiss their fears and put aside their evil prognostications. The point to be considered is, however, whether these periodical revi vals of the Eastern question do not suit the purposes of some of the Powers of Europe, and whether the so-called grievance is not a timely diversion which can be turned— to good account as occasion calls for it. Russia and Prussia would be very much discouraged if the diplomacy of foreign States or the wisdom of domestic management could say e Greece from another embroglio. Prussia more espe cially has her interests deeply centred in these sub jects, and if the constant discussion that takes place on the Eastern question serves no other immediate ends, it distracts attention from her own affairs and bewilders those who might otherwise be inclined to study too closely the doubtful character of Berlin policy, and the vexations manoeuvres of BismArtm's career. While we readily coincide with the opinion of those who say that the danger is well-nigh over for the present, we cannot believe that the chances are favourable for a long duration of calm. Where can be the security that a fresh complication may not arise, and another opportunity present itself, for the revival of this old and vexed question. The uninitiated might be surprised at the recurrence of the difficulty without any apparent cause, but the fact is that those States which ought to exercise a beneficial influence do not, and if they exert them selves at all, it is in the wrong direction. It is diffi cult to estimate the full amount of evil that is wrought for the want of a moral tone in Prussian politics. She over-pemadEd Austria, and drew the States of Germany along with her, in the attack on Denmark some years ago, and from that time the standard of European politics sank low, and has not yet risen. At a subsequent period the wily designs of Count IlismAnc:coniile pietely outwitted the sapient rul er o f France, and stole a march on the hitherto unrivalled hero of coup (Petal and magnificent surpri3es. Meanwhile Austria and the small states who had combined against the Prussian Government shared the fate they had ungenerously given to Denmark. All this consti tuted a succession of triumphs for the magnates at Berlin, and if mercy found no resting place in those councils where justice was scouted, success was the idol of their worship and all that contributed to that end was welcomed. After coneiLlering these things how can we feel any confidence that at any me to servo her turn and illustrate her purpose Prussia may not plot, con triv, and circum vent until she compass her mysterious ends and gain ler subtle purposes. The recent announcement of the arrival of the Prince of MONTENEGRO at Berlin is ominous at this juncture. His Royal Highness is expected to remain in that capital for a week, but very likely circum stances may arise which will postpone his departure for a longer period. In the entangled state of affairs THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 9, 1869 Elector of HESSE-CASSEL, and as for considerations, that is an unheard-of argument in Berlin councils. We may believe as much as we like about the security of the settlement of the Eastern question, and we may hope as much as is convenient concerning the sincerity of Prussia, but it will not prove in the long run that our belief has turned to certainty, and that ours has been the hope that maketh not ashamed. King GEORGE is not a free agent, and if ht were his power is small ; but he at any rate has little cause to put faith in the promises of Prussia, or to expect that much good will come of her meddling with pub lic affairs. Discretion may be the better part of va lour just now, but the evil will be only put off ; and the more we study past and present matters the more fully we may be convinced of the mischievous ten dency of Prussian interference, which brings the reverse of a b'essing on him that gives and him that takes. THE QUEEN is not going to open the eighth Par ament of her reign. The reason assigned is that Ler MAJESTY is not in sufficiently good health to bear the fatigues of a public pageant. Were the journals which announce this information content with imparting it; there would be nothing for us to say but to express our sincere regret at both cause and effect : regret that the new epoch which the " House holders' Parliament" embodies will not be inaugurated by the Sovereign ; still greater regret that Her MAJESTY is not in the enjoyment of such health as her loyal subjects desire. But the journals are not con tent with the announcement. One of them especially, assuming an acquaintance with " the daily life of Queen VICTORIA," goes on to protest that the QUEEN'S absence is not capable of any political interpretation, and must not be understood as implying any expression of opinion upon the great questions which will be brought before Parliament. It was but a little while ago that the same authority wished to persuade its readers of the QUEEN'S ardent sympathy with the new Parliament and the new Ministry. The assurance, therefore, that the QUEEN "has no political opinions," is "absolutely neutral," reminds us that it is possible to protest too much. In fact, a great deal too much has been said about this matter. In spite of the assurance of a contemporary, whose knowledge of royal thoughts and wishes is equalled only by its intimate acquaintance with the doings of a neighbour ing sovereign, we take for granted that the QUEEN has political opinions of her own, and there is little doubt as to the nature of them so far as the most important subject of the day is concerned. But the private opinions of the QUEEN are no more a matter for public discussion than are those of any other woman. The QUEEN is a thoroughly constitutional govoroi s m If alto Lao poroanal liirca and clic:ink on, she does not allow them to interfere with her duties. The organs which arrogate to themselves the exclusive right to the term which we have just applied to the Sovereign, assured us some ten weeks ago that the QUEEN would never consent to accept Mr. GLADSTONE as her chief adviser. Nevertheless, immediately Mr. DISRAELI resigned, Mr. GLADSTONE was summoned to the royal presence, and he formed with remarkable promptitude an Administration which his royal mistress approved without hesitation. This being the case—Mr. GLADSTONE having taken office expressly to deal with the Irish Church—it was wholly superfluous to assure the nation that the QUEEN'S absence from the State ceremony of next Tuesday will have no political significance. While we deprecate any attempt to convert the QUEEN into a political partisan, there is one con sideration which makes the imperfect character of the coming pageant a matter of regret. We are not Republicans; we do not think that a Republican form of government is suited to English ideas and habits. Yet it cannot be denied that the continued absence of the QUEEN from State ceremonials does weaken the monarchical sentiment of the nation. True that even if the QUEEN did open Parlia ment in person only a few thousands of her many million subjects would witness the spectacle; yet the account of it would be published far and wide, and every subject who read the narrative would realise the fact of an actual living head of the State in a way that is not possible when Parliament is opened by commission. The opening of Parlia ment is an event wholly sun generis. It is the occa sion when the Three Estates of the Realm are brought together in person, and are set forth visibly before the people. We can spare the QUEEN better from all other ceremonies than from this. We can spare her, though we miss her, from the opening of Exhibitions, from the presiding at Drawing-rooms, from public appearance at the Opera ; yet her absence on the one great day of the year which commences a new volume in the nation's Constitutional history is an event that cannot but be regretted by all those who desire the _ _ • continuance of the present form of government. It is the more to be so because we believe that Republicanism is spreading more rapidly than many persons suppose. We do not allude to Irish Fenians, or to Reformers of the FINLEN type ; but to cultivated men, to the men who influ• ence the thought of the day, in society and l in the press. They of course view with satisfaction each occasion on which the functions of royalty are placed in abeyance. It is otherwise with those who wish to see royalty maintained. Tun intelligence from Twickenham will not meet with a very gracious reception at the Tuileries. The birth of a son and heir to the Count de PARIs is an event of considerable political importance. It strengthens still further the dynasty of the ORLEANS branch of the BOURBON House by direct descent from the eldest son, and it promises to add to the influence and power of a family which flourishes and increases in spite of great misfortunes. The Count de PARIS is the grandson of Louis PHILIPPE. lle was born in 1838, but became the heir presump tive in 1842 on the death of his father by an acci dent. In 1848, when the "citizen king " found that his opposition to electoral reform, and the policy of the GUIZOT Cabinet in the matter of the Spanish marriages had irretrievably compromised his position, when the National Guard could not be relied upon to support him, he offered to abdicate in favour of the grandson who has just become a father in exile. But the Chamber of Deputies refused to acknowledge as King a boy of ten, and Lours PHILIPPE, deserted on all sides, found safety in flight. He left the field to Lours NAPOLEON, and came to Newhaven under the title of Mr. SMITH. Since then the elder branch of the ORLEANS family has lived in England, and the infant born on i Saturciay is its representative, The younger descen-, just now it is very possible for a casual observer to overlook some significant events, for incidents appa rently trifling are often in reality of great import ance. If we scrutinize the course which events are taking we shall speedily arrive at the conclusion that there are more things in Berlin policy than are dreamed of in the philosophy of the superficial observer of European history. It is more easy to see that there is mischief brewing than to point exactly what course it will take or what object it is intended to gain ; but there can be little doubt that those who are spared a few years longer will find the mystery solved, and confess, as did the sceptics in the cases of Denmark and Austria, that they were deceived. Any lapse of faith in European politics is to be dreaded, but though we may deplore the consequences, there is the vindication of the principles of right to be witnessed, and the misery and misfortune that came upon others by the errors of the prime movers, are still the illustration of the suffering that is caused by sin. We can defy anyone to say that Prussia will be deterred from her purpose through hesitation to commit an unpopular act. Witness the appropria tion of the fortunes of the King of HANOVER, and the THE PAPAL STATES. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] ROME, FEBRUARY 2. The Pope officiated this morning in the Basilica of St. Peter's, it being the Catholic festival of the Purification, and distributed the blessed candles to the members of the Sacred College, the bishops and archbishops forming part of the very numerous assemblage. The Archbishop of Westminster, Mgr. Manning, and the Archbishop of Anazarba, Mgr. Charles Eyre, whose consecration took place on Sunday, were among those present. A procession round the transept followed, each pre late, cardinal, and ambassador, as well as the general and superior officers of the Papal army, the senators, and the Pontifical household joining in it, bearing a lighted candle. The effect was picturesque in the extreme, and the interest it excited was amply testified by the immense throng of visitors who witnessed it. The Pope looked pale and fatigued, but bis voice when he chaunted the blessing at the end of High Mass sounded clear and fresh, and was audible in every part of the church. Yesterday the excavations of San Clemente were thrown open to the public, in honour of the Feast of St. Ignatius of Antioch, the disciple of St. John, whose relics repose under the altar of the Irish Dominican 'Church. The frescoes of the subterranean church, which date from the fourth century, are in wonderful preservation, and were visited by many hundre d persons yesterday, being illumi nated by wax torches. Archbishop Manning preached the sermon, which was delivered from the ancient pulpit, dating back to the ninth century. The audience consisted principally of English and Americans, but there was also a considerable sprinkling of foreigners conversant with English. The Pope was expected, but did not come, having been in the morning to the .A ppolinare Semina r y. The Carniv a l h as commence d , b u t i s far from brilliant, on account of the weather, which is damp and rainy, after ; a frost almost unexampled in its severity, the thermometers 1 having ranged between 22 and 25 for above ten days. Three of the Embassies, moreover, are virtually closed, Mr. Trauttmansdorff being absent from that of Austria, the Duke of Saldhafia having been recalled to Lisbon, and M. Posada, who is supposed to represent Spain, not having yet delivered his letters of credence ; so that the usual diplo lomatic gaieties aze entirely wanting. The great Roman and princely familes have, however, given a series of mag nificent balls, to which all the more distinguished foreigners are cordially invited. The best understanding, too, seems to reign between the Roman noblesse and the Papal army, for the Roman officers are invited to every ball, save those of the Doria familes. Lady Clarendon has arrived in Rome to assist at her daughter's confinement. Mr. Odo Russell was present this morning at the ceremony in St. Peter's. An idea exists in official quarters that the Marquis de Bonneville, the present French Ambassador, may soon be recalled, as his rrinciples and those of his chief, M. de Lavalette, are at variance on the Roman question. M. de Bonneville, w 1 was one of the framers of the Treaty of Zurich in 1859, is a strong supporter of the temporal power. The cause of tie Trasteverine conspirators, Ajani and Luzzi, is still is appeal. The Consulta will give its final decision next week, which can scarcely be other than a full confirmation of the sentence, as the prisoners have openly avowed their share in the revolt, but whether the sentence is carried out or not is very uncertain. If the threats of injudicious friends do not oblige the Government to an act of severity, there is every probability of a commutation of the sentence of aeatn. A review will take place, after Carnival, of the Papal army, which now numbers 16,000 men, of whom 8,000 are Italians ; the French are 2,500, the Dutch 1,900, the Belgians 600, and the Germans 1,100, There are about _ 60 Englishmen, mostly younger sons of old Roman Catholic families, 100 Irishmen, and 250 Canadians. General Ranzler, the Papal Minister of Arms, visited the Zouave reading-room and club last week. The Pope's Hymn, the national anthem of "God save the Queen," and "Rule Britannia " were sung, and three hearty cheers given for the Pope, the Queen, and the General, by the young English volunteers. The Canadians, Dutch, French, and Belgians have each their national club, and the punish. ments in the various regiments have diminished about two-thirds since their etablishment. The evening's despatches from Naples announce the King of Italy's arrival.. A large crowd was assembled at the _ railway station, and his reception seems to have been more cordial than on any previous occasion. An amnesty is talked of for the 25,000 political prisoners now filling the Neapolitan prisons and galleys, and it is to be hoped his Majesty's advisers may counsel so wise an act of clemency. The meal tax seems to be refused everywhere ; 346 peasants were confined in Aiessandria alone for resisting it, and above 3,000 in the other towns of Upper and Centratltaly. The state of siege continues in Milan. A new rail way has been authorised by the Roman Government from Rome to Viterbo, joining the Florence line near Orvieto, and forming the most direct communication between the Italian capital and Rome. POLICE INTELLIGEIVCE—This Day. MARLBOROI7GII-STREET. _ - - ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A TA VERN.—Sarah Symons, a servant at the Bromley Arms Tavern, No. 84, Cleveland street, was charged before Mr: Tyrwhitt with attempting to commit suicide by cutting her throat with a carving knife. William Peters, barman at the Bromley Arms, said that in consequence of the prisoner being the worse for liquor on Sunday, she had notice given her the following day to leave. After she received notice she raved and sang a good deal, and threatened to destroy herself, and in the evening he was called to the kitchen, where the pri soner had attempted to take her life by cutting her throat with a carving knife. A surgeon and a constable were sent for, and when the prisoner was sufficiently recovered she was taken to the station. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the witness said that although the prisoner raved and sang, and threatened to destroy herself, it was only looked upon as jesting. At this stage of the case the prisoner fell back fainting into the arms of the gaoler, and was removed from the court. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the poor woman would be remanded for a week, and ordered her to be at once taken to the House of Detention in a cab, at the same time expressing a hope that some of her friends would be in attendance on the next occasion. WESTMINSTER. UNPROVOKED ASSAULT.-.Mr, Henry Harrison, sculptor, was charged with being drank and committing an unpro voked assault upon Police-sergeant Lewis, 1 B. Complainant said that at eight o'clock last evening he and two other Police -sergeants, who wero all in plain clothes, were walking along Sloane street, when the defendant, who was drunk, came up with a friend, and pushed against him. Complainant gave way and was proceeding on, when defendant followed and struck him across the back of the neck with a stick, and repeated the blow striking him on the thumb. No provocation of any sort had been given the defendant, who was taken into custody. He was both drunk and violent. The prisoner was fined £5. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY FRAUD ON A RAILWAY COMPANY.— William Gibson, aged 26 years, and described as a travel ler, of No. 12, Garden-row, St. George's-road, Southwark, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with obtaining £5O from Mr. John Walker, of the Midland Counties Railway, by false and fraudulent pretences. A solcitor appeared for the railway company, who said this was only one of the many cases to be preferred against the prisoner. In one case the prisoner had ob tained £5 by fraud, and he had also gathered other sums by a most ingenious and impudent system of lies and mis representations. Mr. Benson remanded the prisoner until Tuesday next. The prisoner offered bail. Mr. Benson—Bail ! No, I shall not take any bail. VISIT OF LORD STANLEY TO GLASGOW.—We un derstand that Lord Stanley, who was recently elected to the rectorship of our University, will visit GlaszoW towards the end of next month.- Gkagoto Jerald. dants of Louis PHILIPPE are, however, numerous; the family has found its way to all parts of Europe—it flourishes in almost every country except France. The second son, the Duc de NEMOURS, is still living at Claremont, and, like all his race, has a numerous pro geny. The third son, the Prince:de JonvvlLLE—he who brought the remains of NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE from St. Helena to France—also dwells in exile. At one time his name was one of the most popular in France. Last of the faniily in'England is the Duo D ' AUMALE, who, like the rest, wisely holds aloof from politics, and spends his time partly at Claremont and partly at the "paradise of paupers," Twickenham. All these brothers have children. Besides this formidable array, there is the fifth son, the Duc de MONTPENSIER, now the most important member of the family. He is married to the sister of the fallen Queen of SPAIN, and still retains the best chance of succeeding to the vacant throne. One of the daughters of Lours PHILIPPE was the late Queen of the BELGIANS, another married a Prince of WURTEMBERG ; the third is the wife of Prince AUGUSTUS, a member of the all but numberless COBURG-GOTHA family. VORBEIZIPCMANOE F 11,04 RAM, (FllOll OUR OWN CORRESPONDKNT-) PARIS, MONDAY, February 8. The great debate in the Senate is still the topic of the daiPri!A.eric rule, M. Maupas is supported on all sides, ...iberals, of cours e , agree w i th him in preference tc M. tiCulter. The Imperialistjournals canhardlyoffer down. right opposition to so staunch a supporter of the Empire. Some of them are inclined to agree with him, for his argument is plausible enough. It amounts, as I said before, simply tc this : though he vehemently opposed the press law and the law of public meetings, as being too great a concession to be consistent with public safety, yet he would now extend reform and grant Ministerial responsibility, simply because these concessions laid the Emperor open to per. sonal attacks. In another sense M. Rouher's speech gives satisfaction. He rejected, it is true, the request for Minis. terial responsibility, but he accompanied the rejection by the important statement that he would retire the moment he received personal blame from the Legislative Body, and that each of his colleagues would do the like in a similar ease. The Siècle and other papers consider this a great ad mission. If M. Rouher would really resign if he received a check from the Legislative Body, then Ministerial respon sibility is already established. The Corps Ldgislatif could change a Minister or a Ministry. But, unfortunately for the SMde, its enthusiasm carries it too far. Where is the Chamber of Deputies or the Senate which would pass a direct vote of censure on any Minister? Neither are likely to be found under the present system. M. Rouher wae. quite safe. Nevertheless, the whole discussion is not merely interesting, but important as an indication of the spread of Liberal ideas. Some further particulars have transpired respecting the mystery of the Rue Princesse. As your readers may be lost in Paris mysteries, I may just mention that this is the affair of the two legs being fished up from a well in the dismal quarter of Paris known as the Rue Princesse. There is now no doubt that a crime was committed, and that the victim is an upholsterer, of about 50 years of age, residing in the Rue Dauphine. He must have been murdered on the night of the 14th, or early on the 15th of December. He was separated from his wife, and was endowed with the not uncommon vanity of desiring to appear richer than he really was, frequently drawing gold coins from his pocket mixed with smaller change. On the night of the. 14th of December, he was observed to enter his apartment with a young woman, and shortly afterwards to go out with her. He wag never again seen alive. On the 15th, part of his body, the trunk, was found in the Seine, and a waistcoat which s covered it was recognised by his wife ; as were other garments. It is certain, therefore, that the trunk found in the Seine, the part of a breast found on the quay, and the two legs fished out of the well all belong to one person. So far the mystery ends. It is supposed that the n;;; was murdered by one of the women with whom he was in the habit of associating. The gold which he was so fond of displaying had been his ruin. Yesterday took place that yearly absurdity, the prome nade of the Bceuf Gras. The weather was fine and the crowd immense, but the display- itself was inferior to that of last year. This mock pageant seems to be dying a natural death. I even hear it hinted that this may be the last year of its existence. There was a band of music, irr the costume of Louis XIII.'s Mousquetaires, then came the great Chilp6ric, standing on a car drawn by lour horses, another carriage containing hunters with horns, and then a mythological vehicle, bearing a score of girls clad in the scanty dresses common to the mythological period and to the nineteenth century. It was rather a THE CONVEAT CASE. The interest felt by the public in the Hull convent case increases rather than abates. The crowd attracted to Westminster yesterday was larger, and the efforts to ob tain admittande to the court more vigorous than on any previous day. The re-examination of the plaintiff, Miss Saurin, by the Solicitor-General was continued. In answer to the questions of the learned counsel, the " sister"—who, notwithstanding the fact that she has been in the witness box the greater part of four days, and has had to stand the fire of a very searching cross-examination at the hands of Mr. Hawkins, seems as self-possessed as ever—said : I never took a book from any sister for the purpose of secreting it. I never took another sister's book for any pniDase without permission. That is given in the "leaves." I never knew an order for a sister to have less clothes than the others except in my own case. I did not cut up Amy clothes to make them more in substance. It was usual for all to make one good garment out of two old ones. It was usual for the sisters to give up all articles of value for the benefit of the convent. My watch was given to me, or rather lent to me, by my father when I was in Bagot-street. I have had the watch returned to me. 1 had business conversation with one of the priests at Hull. I never endeavoured to attract his attention on any occasion. I was never in an habitual state of excitement when he came to the convent. Inever purposely and constantly and needlessly put myself in his way. I never did so in Mrs. Starr or Mrs. Kennedy's presence. I never was rebuked for it, or forbidden to do it. Sister Mary (Mrs. Collingwood) was at the school, but I never remember being with her in the presence of the priest. I never went on my knees, pulled things out of his hand, and entreated him to go with me in her presence. I have not the least idea of anything that will give a colour to such a charge. I remember a sister dying in the convent, but I don't recollect her wish ing to have her medals buried with her. I never heard before to day anything of the kind. I attended her, but I never took her medal from her scapula. We were greatly attached, and I should have been sorry to have dis obeyed any wish of hers. This is the first time I have heard about her medal, or any of the sisters having lost theirs. I never took a medal belong ing to any one in my life. I never tool; the smallest parcel of food from the schoolchildren during the time I was in the convent. I never heard of such a charge before this trial. I only wrote two letters to my uncle without the permission of the mother superior. That was the extent of my clandestine correspondence. I was not unkind to the children. I never struck or pinched one of them. I once presumed to take a sheet of note-paper and an envelope without leave, but I afterwards told Mrs. Starr, I wrote monthly reports from June 1863 to Sep tember 1864 inclusive. I never condescended to make strife between the mother superior and the sisters. Mrs. Saurin, the plaintiff's mother, deposed : We did not wish her to become a professed nun. She was very desirous of becoming one. Finally, however, the family consented, and she entered on her noviciate at Bagot-street. I used frequently to see her there. She appeared very happy and contented there. I had every reason to believe she was happy and contented with all in the convent. Her going to England came upon me with surprise. As soon as I heard it I left Drogheda by the midnight mail for Dublin to remonstrate with her. I saw the archbishop upon the subject. I came over the summer following to see her at Clifton, and also the mother superior. She appeared happy, and the superior was very kind and attentive to me. I saw Mrs. Starr and Mrs. M`Owne afterwards in Dublin, at Mrs. Starr's request, she having directed my daughter to write to me to that effect. At that interview she said my daughter was quite well and happy, and that she would take care of her; and, further, that my daughter should write to me every month. That very much recon ciled me to her remaining at Clifford. I frequentlyreceived letters from my daughter and some from Mrs. Starr. When I heard that Mrs. Starr was displeased with my daughter, I handed Mrs. Starr's first two letters back to Father Mathews. (The letters which were sent by Father Mathews to the bishop were called for, but they were not produced). In 1866 application was made for their return, but Father Mathews never received them. The bishop, who was absent from curt through illness, - was sent for. Father Mathews was called and made the above state to° went, and further said that when he handed the letter to 9 the bishop, at York, he said he had brought them to shew hi m w h a t a won d er f u l c h ange must have taken 1 place in Mrs. Starr's opinion of her so soon after to write 2 for the plaintiff's removal. At the commission the bishop 2 6 said the letters were amongst his papers. A general ex pression of dissatisfaction pervaded the subsequent letters. 4 Mrs. Saurin's evidence continued :Up to 1861 I had peen twice or thrice to Clifford, but I heard no complaints. 7 In the autumn of 1861 my husband was seriously ill. I was anxious my daughter should come over and see him, and I wrote to the mother superior accordingly. I wrote a second letter, in which I stated that my husband was labouring under a disease that might prove fatal. My husband had got worse. To that Mrs. Starr wrote a A. refusal, stating that my daughter might return altogether 2 to Ireland if she could spare me the unhappiness, but that was impossible, for reasons which she could not then explain. I replied to that letter, complaining of my not 2 hearing from my daughter, and stated that it was a con dition of her becoming a religeuse that she should be allowed to communicate with her family, and that ifwe were driven to it we should take the necessary remedies to enforce it. I stated in one of my letters to Mrs. Starr, " Let me ask you how it is I never receive answers to any of my letters ?" Seve ral were at that time unanswered. I referred to the promise made by Dr. Cullen, and assented to by Mrs. Starr, that my daughter should visit Dublin, especially in cases of illness. Mrs. Starr wrote me a long letter, in which she said she could not explain private community affairs, and she could only repeat that Sister Scholastica could not then go to Ireland, not could she say when, if ever, she would return to Ireland. Obstacles to her removal might last for years, she said, and also that she was no party to any arrangement for her returning to Ireland. She would, however, consent to her being removed to a convent in Ireland, if it could possibly be done. In 1862, in consequence of what Father Mathews said, I went with my son Patrick to Hull. I saw Mrs. Kennedy, and I. asked her what the complaints were of my daughter. She said she could not tell me, but Mrs. Starr would. I shortly after saw her. I asked what the com plaints were. She said my daughter had disobeyed the orders of the convent in doing things she had no right to do. I asked what they were. She said my daughter had a light in her cell after 10 o'clock, and that she had washed things there. She also said that my daughter told untruths, or something like it. She told me my daughter was at Clifford, but that if I went there I could not see her without a note from her; and she accordingly wrote one. Mrs. Starr at that interview told me that my daughter had written a letter to her uncle without leave. I went:to Clifford. Mrs. M`Owne refused to let me see her. I saw her Pam quickly along the corridor. I went to the door, Aly daughter saw me, but she passed on. Mrs. M`Owne came to the room and said I could not see my daughter, but she could not tell me why. I then gave her Mrs. Starr's note, and was then allowed to see my daughter. Instead of being happy, as she had previously been when I had seen her, she com plained very much of the treatment she was receiving. She promised to ask pardon of MI'S. Starr for writing letters without leave. Witness then detailed procedings up to the order from the bishop absolving "Sister Scholastica " from her vows. It came out, however, that such an order ought properly to come from the Pope of Rome, and then only on ver grave misconduct being absolutely proved, The case was again adjourned, and seems likely to last ..er a week. Four men were buried alive, and one was killed by the fall of a large quantity of gravel in a gravel pit at Mid dleton. Three men managed to get their heads above the sand, but the other was quite buried, and was not reached until after an hour's search. CABINET COUNCIL—At the Cabinet Council held on Monday the Ministers present were the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, the Lord Chancellor, Earl De Grey and Ripon, the Earl of Kimberley, the Right Hon. H.

Bright, the Right Hon. G. J. Goschen, the Marquis of Hartington, and the Right Hon. C. Fortescue. SUBSIDENCE OF THE RUSSIAN CAPITAL—The following interesting but • apparently rather sensational piece of news is going the rounds of the German papers. It is said that in fifty years St. Petersburg will have ceased to exist. The whole soil on which it stands is sink ing, imperceptibly it is true, but with fearful regularity, and the examination that has been made has turned out so unfavourable that steps arc being taken preparatory to removing the Court. I PRINCE RUPERT'S HEADQUARTERS. —One of the few remains of the architecture of the sixteenth century, which are to be found in Birmingham, is doomed to destruction—the Ship Inn, Highgate. This old-fashioned house possesses some points of peculiar local interest in connection with the history of the hardware village ; for, in 1643, during the civil war, Prince Rupert made this place his headquarters, and slept there for some time. In 1791 the place was taken possession of by the Priestley rioters, who committed great injury in the neighbourhood, burning Bordesley House, attacking Moseley Hall, and also the houses of other gentry in the locality. The house was supposed to have been built in 1560, and for rew vemigioYed rep tio .62uutry_kul. pretty, but certainly not an effective display. Like many other demonstrations of the kind, it had its place in the eighteenth century, but is wholly out of place in the nineteenth. Charles Cattaneo, one of the leading Italian Democrats, is just dead. A short time ago, when Mazzini was believed to be dying, Cattaneo was nominated to succeed him as chief of the " Cosmopolitan Insurrection." THE WEATHER TABLE,-THIS DAY. NETEOIteI.OGICAL REPORTS.

The increase is most marked at Valencia, where it has exceeded half an inch since last evening. Pressure, however, still continues much lower in the north than elsewhere, and the read leg at Nairn is 114 degrees lower than that at Rochefort. At our own stations temperature has decreased somewhat, but in the west of France the changes are variable. Strong south-westerly gales again blew on almost all our coasts 3.33terday. and at Valenclaveered to N.W. without decreasing in Mice. This morning winds are strong from S.W. to W. on our west coast ; at Yarmouth a W.N.W. gale is blowing. Rain has been general, and the sky is now cloudy, except in Scotland. Weather is still unsettled. The sea is high at Valencia. Warnings were issued to all coasts yesterday.

The Irishman, John M'Conville, a puddle:: charged with shooting another Irishman, tamed Trainer, at Darlington, on Saturday night week, has been committed for trial for wilful murder. There is ground to infer, from the circumstances of the case, that the crime has some connection with Fenianism. On Saturday morning the premises of Mr. Joi, Jex Long the extensive manufacturer of lucifer matche& and whose large ti m b er y a rd and other works are adjoin ing, at Dundee, were discovered to be on fire, and 'a loss was sustained by Mr. Long to the extent of from £4,000 to £5,000. A melancholy accident happened on the Mersey on Saturday evening. Four mon, unacquainted with navi gation, took a boat from the Coburg Dock and went into the river to fish. Unfortunately, they rowed their vessel in the way of one of tho Woodside st , &Tilers, when their boat was overturned, and two of thorn, named Stephen O'Donnell and Pat' ick Kelly, were drowned. It appears that the soldiers 'who took part the Abyssinian campaign are to have a medal. The Go ernments of Fort St. George, and Bombay, and his Excel lency the Commander-in-Chief in India, have been re quested to adopt early measures for furnishing the rolls of the officers and soldiers or corps who are entitled io th. medal now authorised by her Majesty.
