STATE OF TRADE. public loan of the Confederate States is quoted on every principal exchange in Europe. The second session of the second Congress of the Con federate States is sitting in Richmond. The President of the United States and Mr. Seward have gone to Virginia to confer with the Vice Presi dent of the Confederate States. Shall we say, then, that there is no government in the Confederate States ? Shall we say that for the first time in the history of the world there is a community without a government? Shall we say that the Confederates are in that respect worse off than the tribes of equa torial Africa? Shall we say in effect that the Con federate States are in the position of terra incognita, of lands that are owned by nobody, not even by their inhabitants, and that the said lands will be the lawful prize of those who first obtain possession ? Yet this is the necessary deduction from non-recog nition after the 4th of March next. The Govern ment of Washington has clearly no claim to rule over the Southern States ; and if we add that the Confederate Government does not exist, we unequi vocally assert that the Confederate States constitute a territory that will lawfully belong to any Govern ment which can obtain possession thereof. Non-recognition after the 4th of MarohisOsurd, and-we do not wondellhat the Vorth should regard it as nearly impossible. The matterlaas been long and anxiously discussed by the Governments of Eng land and France, and it is known that they fully admit that after the 4th of March next the Govern ment of the United States cannot be regarded as the de facto or de jure Government of the South. We are not prepared to say whether the Governments of England and France will therefore recognise the South on that day, or whether they will hold their right of recognition in abeyanceuntil what they deem a more convenient season. There are, however, some indications that recognition is contemplated, at least by one of these Governments, and it has become a fixed determination that whether or not recognition shall be postponed, under all circum stances a reunion or a conquest of the South is to be prevented by recognition, and if necessary by intervention. It is significant that at this moment Lord Lyons and M. Mercier are absent from Wash ington, Mr. Dayton's place has not been supplied, and that there are rumours at Washington of the recall of Mr. Adams.—The Index. In a despatch of Oct. 28 to Baron Malaret, M. Drouyn de Lhuys thus summarises the character of the Convention : (Daughter of the late Captain Marryat, R.N.) " Miss Niarryat has succeeded in producing an exceedingly good novel. We give it no slight praise when we say that it possesses the rai e combination of unflagging interest from btg,iuning to end, great d scriptive power, and an influence altogether good "—Athenaeum. Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. " Its object is less distant and its aim better defined. It recognises two sovereignties in Italy, and while waiting until a more intimate agreement is able to be established between them, secures their co-existence. Such is the Convention. Everything outside this is only futile specu lation, the least danger of which is to lead men's minds astray, to keep up uncertainty and agitation by substituting the seductive chimeras of imagination for the sternrealities of politics." A despatch from M. Drouyn de Lhuys to M. dl Sartiges, dated Dec. 27, alludes to the ill-timed ap pearance of the Encyclical, which condemns the principles of modern society, and renders more difficult the task undertaken by France in the in terest of the Holy See. Another despatch of the 7th January informs the Holy See of the existence of the circular issued by M. Baroche. The latest despatch, that of Feb. 8, complaining of the con duct of the Nuncio, concludes the series. OPERA DI CAMERA, the SOLDIER'S LEGACY, by Mactarren, and TOO MANY COOKS, by Offenbach.

Smith, Payne, and Smiths, I, Lombard- street, This Home was opened in April, 1864. It was designed to take ill the little ones whose charact• r and circumstances disqualify the for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tendar age precludes their admission to the Rtfuges. Such are those who, from neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and left to beecome Idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish relief, and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who train their children in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, and must lead them to a life of crime and misery. I IThe necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi dent from the police statheics which show that in London alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of age, have been apprehended for various offences. 79 of whom were convicted and punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too young to punish. though not too young to learn the beginnings of crime. On the other hand, there are numbers who, but. for the timely hell. afforded by such an Institution, must otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli ance and self-help be permanent burdens to the State. fhe Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established to rescue the little ones, to save them from the prison on the one hand, and the workhouse on the other, and to endeavour to make them useful members of society. The daily routine of the ins; itution presents all the fea aturere a s o r f ed a l r i e o r m a e a , a e h e c i h m o o r e l e , a ; n t ch e a y w h o a r v k e s h t o h p e . i r There g ular ittl e m e o a n l e a s . th it suitable clothing, their hour* of play and amusement, and their singing class. They are treated as scholars; every morning is devoted to echo , 1 work—reading, and writing. and cipherimf, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional lessons in objects and other subjects. But they are also trained to work. As they must all, and that at a very early period in life, earn their living" by the sweat of their brow, they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after noons are occupied with various industrial occupations — making brown paper bags for bankers, and white taper bags for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any who will buy them ; picking the coil for the mats, mending the c othes, &c. Some assist the master in the garden, digging, planting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By degrees they are being made useful in the house, scrubbing and sweeping, while the elder ones clean all the boots, knives, Ate. In this way it is sought to fit them for an active working life. There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of age to 10. There is room for nearly 10 ', and the Committee would joyfully see the Home filled at once ; they only wait for the necessary subscriptions. The Committee feel constrained to p'ead for those who cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they ask—is it right to make a widow and her family paupers for life because one of them (the naughty boy of the family) runs wild in the streets and is beyond her control ? Is it kind to tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not hip her to put one of them into a Home, but that thee must ail go into "the house ?" Is it doing the bat we can for the little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it doing to others as we would they should do unto us that when these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into the streets, or force them by ill-treatment to "Inn away," none of us slum d be found to care for them, to speak a kindly word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe them ? Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's keeper ?" The mode of admission to the House is twofold, Ist. Be election of the subscribers. Boys thus admitted are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught till they are 11 years of age. With the view t o secure the election of the most deserving , cases, the Committe have from the first discouraged canvas sing,Tthh2oadsye aeimßnnt voting most epg t ts hatepyiel payment t ei d eebnr o dlate n e eob o f fo t yers p ttsfah r i .r ea n aec t awoa a mudde week, l a eisd d tmst d ipe :a r t dim e i e s ean s n e fled with o f f each th the ha s ta u se b i s na c faroi care fulrbmer a tion s the y subscribers are abl e t o judge for themselves as to admission. e timeA l AllElectionsachildren soon oTi ahe m sehas u i eisztrrbeonev received etod under bbeye ant l dh O pi te yactemr u feta rt a eae r ege e e r admitted y t n e ad t a v i n ita of s d e ra n t col t ri will take place as frequently as the increase in the annual subscriptions will admit, till the Home is full; they will then be held periodi callyy Forms of application for the admission of children may be had at the Home, and of the lionoraty Secretary, THE ROLL OF THE LORDS.—The roll for the Session has been issued. Beginning with three peers of the Blood Royal—the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cumber land (King of Hanover), and the Duke of Cambridge, it passes on to the Primate of all England, the Lord Chan cellor, the Archbishop of York, the Irish Archbishop (Dub lin) on the rota this year, the Lord President of the Coun cil, the Lord Privy Seal ; and then follow, according to their rank, the dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, bishops, and barons who have seats in the House of Peers. The roll differs little from that of 1864. No new temporal peer has been created; the list still ends with Lord Houghton. The name of Lord Wentworth (by courtesy Viscount Ockham) now appears; and that of Lord Dunsany a s a re presentative peer of Ireland is also new. The list of spiri tual lords is changed, first by the death of Bishop Davys, of Petersborough, bringing the new Bishop of Ely into Parliament, and also by the customary change in the rota of Irish bishops attending Parliament this Session, the Bishops of Meath, of Killaloe , and of Kilmore being the prelates now in attendance. By the addition of the two new names above mentioned, the number of temporal peers was raised to 424 at the commencement of this Session; the spiritual lords are always 80 in number. This is counting Lord Auckland as a spiritual lord only, and not twice over. Yesterday Mr. John Geo. Barry and Mr. Alfred Barry, brothers, wharfingers, carrying on business at Meriton's wharf, Dockhead, Bermondsey, and three-of their servants named Thorne, Arnett, and Sedgwick, were brought be fore Mr. Alderman Stone (sitting for the Lord Mayor), at the Justice-room of the Mansion-house, charged on remand with conspiring together to defraud the Royal Exchange and other of the principal insurance offices in London of large sums of money. From the position of the Messrs. Barry, who are well known as a firm of wharfingers on the Thames in a large way of business, the examination excited great interest, and the court was crowded. The Lord Mayoi-, , who is un derstood to be a member of one of the insurance offices alleged to have been defrauded, was precluded from hear ing the case in his capacity of a magistrate, but he was present during the inquiry, as were other of the members of the Court of Aldermen. Many of the directors, managers, and secretaries of the insurance offices concerned were also in attendance. The brothers Barry are both members of the Baltic Coffeehouse, and Mr. John Geo. Barry was until the last few days a director of the East London Bank. Mr. Giffard, Q.C., and Mr. Poland were counsel for the prosecution, instructed by Messrs. Humphreys and Morgan, solicitors of Neavgate-street ; Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Metcalfe, instructed by Me§srs. Tilleard and Co., solici tors, Old Jewry, defended the Messrs. Barry ; Mr. Sergeant Tindal Atkinson, instrnita by: Mr. Moss, the prisoner Thorne ; and Mr. "Lewis, Jun., the prisoners Arnett and Sedgwick. It may be recollected that in June last a fire took place on the premises of Messrs. Barry, destroying several warehouses and much valuable merchandise, and that another still more disastrous occurred on Nov. 25. The merchants who had commodities warehoused there had insured them against fire according to custom, and the wharfingers had insured their premises. The prisoner Thorne was the principal clerk of the brothers Barry, and acted for them in their occasional absence. Arnett and Sedgwick were wharf foremen in their employ. All three had been in their service for some years ; one of them for as many as 25, it is said, and they are persons who have borne good characters up to the transaction in question. Early in January last, while Mr. Roberts, an assessor of fire losses for some of the principal insurance companies, was officially concerned in making in quiries at Meriton's-wharf as to the exact quantities of com modities destroyed by the November fire he had his suspicions strongly excited that portions of the commodities, and prin cipally jute, which had been warehoused there, and afterwards returned by Messrs. Barry to the insurance offices as having been burnt was still in existence and secreted on the premises. He made instant inquiry on the spot with others, and proceeded to take an account of the stock, the result of which was to confirm his suspicions. At first suspicion hardly attached to the principals of the firm, and the three men, Thorne, Arnett, and Sedgwick, to whom it was supposed particularly to point, were given into custody. A man named Josiah Fage, who had been employed as a labourer at Meriton's wharf until shortly before Christmas, and had then been dis charged by reason, as he alleged, of the work there becoming slack, was the principal witness against them, and according to his evidence' the three men in• question had been in various ways concerned in destroying the identity of a quantity of jute saved from the fire, but which had been • represented to the fire-offices as having been destroyed. He alleged, in effect, that the jute in question, which had come there by the ship Onward, was moved about from place to ' place on the premises after the fire ; that the tallies were taken off the bales and burnt, and that others, indicating that it had arrived by a vessel called the City of Dublin, were substituted, all for the purpose, as he believed, of destroying the traces of it. He hinted, too, that a quantity of jute alleged to have been destroyed in the Juno fire was put into a barge called the Cat, and after being kept knock ing about the dock for a couple of months was relandod at Meriton's-wharf. In the course of his examination he more than once stated that in his opinion the prisoners Thorne, Arnett, and Sedgwick wore not to blame, acting, as he be lieved they had done, under the orders of their principals, and that Messrs. Barry " knew all about it." •On cross-exami nation he admitted that just before he was discharged from Meriton's-whart one of the Messrs. Barry had told a man in their service to shove him down stairs for some insolence, and that a few years ago, while acting as treasurer for a gang of working men in St. Katharine's Docks, he was charged at a police-court for embezzling £lO belonging to them, his defence being that he had lost it. Eventually, from information tending, as the prosecution believed, to rearm parts of tha stateamonterwf 11.4. , ..71t3ie5a rake, tiro Messrs. Barry themselves were 'arrested on Tuesday last, on warrants charging them with complicity in the alleged conspiracy to defraud, and they underwent on that day a preliminary examination. Yesterday the examination as effecting the whole five prisoners was again resumed, the principal witness being a clerk named Still, in the service of Messrs. Barry. He had been summoned at the instance of the prosecution, and gave his evidence with some apparent bias towards the prisoners, and especially his masters, in whose employ he had been for eight years. He described minutely the way in which cer tain lists of saved goods and of injured and destroyed goods had been prepared in the office of his employers, after the fire in November, from the cargo-ledgers principally, •for circulation among the merchants who had had commodities stored in the various warehouses at Meriton's-wharf. The manner of their preparation, he said in effect, appeared to him simple and regular, and not calculated to excite sus picion on his part. He also proved the signatures of Mr. John George Barry to all, and of Mr. Alfred Barry to some of the warrants or returns made to the fire-offices of the quantities of merchandise destroyed in the fire, on which the insurance money was claimed by the various merchants to whom they belonged. In cross-examination he stated, in substance, that the stock was taken roughly and hastily after the fire, and lists of it made, under pressure both of the merchants on the one hand, and of the insurance com panies on the other, all of whom were anxious to know the extent of their various losses, and that the wharf was in a state of confusion consequent upon the fire. It also appeared that though the stock had been taken under that pressure, in a day or two, certainly not more than a week, a firm of professional assessors and valuers had been en gaged for a month or five weeks in a more deliberate examination, which they had not yet finished. At first the charge against the prisoners turned upon the alleged attempts after the fire, to destroy the identity of a large part of a cargo of _j u t e w hi c h came by the ship On ward ; but on Tuesd a y l as t, an d aga in was given, though as y e t incomplete, yesterday, evidence as to a similar treat ment of a cargo of jute by the ship City of Sydney, and of cargoes, or part of cargoes, other commodities which had arrived by the vessels Avoca, and the Mary Stenhouse. At the close of the examination Mr. Sergeant Ballantine made a pressing appeal to the Bench to admit the brothers Barry to bail, and took occasion to complain that the prosecution was being conducted with a degree of vindic tiveness scarcely consistent with a reg ard for public jus tice. There were, he said, eminent merchants present ready to give bail for the appearance of his clients on any future day to the amount of £ 50 , 000, if it should be re quired, and he asked the presiding Alderman to act on his own sense of justice in the matter, regardless of any further opposition on the part of those conducting t he prosecution, and whose aim in urging the refusal of bail appeared to be to subject the Messrs. Barry to a kind of slow torture. A similar appeal was made by Sergeant Tindal Atkinson and by Mr. Lewis, jun., on behalf of the prisoners Thorne, Arnett, and Sedgwick. Mr. Alderman Stone, after hearing Mr. Giffard in reply, declined to admit any of the prisoners to bail, but in the in terest of the prisoners, ho urged the counsel and solicitors engaged in the prosecut ion to con duct it to a conclusion with the least possible dela y . I The prisoners were thereupon remanded until Monday at 1 o'clock. Five Missing Ships—Great Loss of Life and Property. Yesterday no fewer t h a n fi ve ships were posted at t il he o y yd h 's av as e been iniss losting which leaves but littl e d ou bt th a t with every soul belonging to them. One of the ill-fated vessels was the Castle Howard, Captain Lamp, a fine almost new ship of nearly 1,000 tons burden, which left Shanghae, with a valuable cargo of tea and other merchandise, for- London, as far back as the 25th of July, and has not since been heard of. Her officers and crew must have numbered between 20 and 30 persons. She was built at Sunderland in 1858, but belonged to London. Another large vessel called the Oriental Queen, Captain Walshaw, sailed from Sunderland for Shanghae in the early part of the summer last year. She passed Anjer on Sept. 3, and nothing has been heard of her since. No doubt she was overwhelmed in a typhoon in the China seas and foundered. Another vessel, named the Beaufront, Captain Cozen, sailed from Sunderland for Hong- Kong was reported to have been spoken with in the China and Shanghae in the spring of last year, and Seas on Sept. 6. Since then no tidings have been received, and it is feared that she also perished in some fearful storm which swept that part of the ocean. The fourth missing vessel is the Andrea Mignany, which left Sulina in the Black Sea for the United Kingdom, and cleared Gibraltar on Nov. 16, and that is the last that has been heard of her. The fifth ship is the Victoria, from Calcutta to Shanghae. She was off Amoy on Sept. 10, but had not reached Shanghae up to Dec. 23. MANCHESTER, Feb. 17.—The news brought by the steamship Canada on Wednesday morning of the intended meeting of the peace commissioners at City Point, near Richmond, produced a sudden and powerful impression on the Liverpool cotton mar ket, its depressing influence on prices naturally ex tending to this market. The news by the succeed ing steamer partly dissipated the alarm first created, but our yarn market has by no means recovered. There was a little more firmness yesterday, but to day we have had a very flat market for shipping yarns, with but little business. Sales have been made at id. to 2d. per lb. decline on Tuesday's prices, but even at this sacrifice few ship pers seem disposed to operate to any extent, and business closes quiet, with a declining ten dency. For home trade yarns there has been next to nothing doing. There is such an absence of business that it is difficult to say what the actual decline of prices has been during the week, but quotations to-day are as low as on Wednesday, and fully ld. to lid. per lb. below what would have been taken on Tuesday. In cloth prices have somewhat recovered from the effects of the news brought by the American steamer,- and-although there -has-not been much business done, save in one or two exceptional cases, pietty large offers have been made. At low prices some considerable sales would probably have been made, but manufacturers have generally been pretty firm in resisting the decline implied by such tenders. Holders are mostly demanding the rates of Tuesday, and those prices have been pretty nearly attainable to-day. The business to-day has not been either large or general ; one or two houses have made some fair sales of India goods, but the trade generally report a rather quiet market. Many of the principal buyers appear still disposed to hold back ; one or two have been bidding rather boldly, but the prices offered have been low, though forlarge quantities, and have not led to transactions. Ma nufacturers are pretty well engaged to order, and this is probably the cause of more steadiness in prices than might have been expected. NOTTINGHAM, 17th.—There was a limited attend ance at this Exchange-hall to-day. The demand for lace yarns was very limited, and only a retail trade was done at the rates of last week. The demand for hosiery yarns was also limited, and prices under went no material change. Silks were higher. For brown nets the demand was again very quiet, and prices remained much the same as heretofore. THE FOURTH OF MARCH. The approaching inauguration of a new Govern ment to conduct the affairs of 20,000,000 of men-- and which in the days of our children's child en may rule over 100,000,000 of men—is, one would sup pose, an event that must command the attention of the world. And the supposition is correct. On the continent of America the 4th of March next is looked forward to as one of the few days in a century preg nant with mighty changes which in all time to come will be a greatlandmark in history. In Europe states men, and all those who have any political intelli gence, are discussing and thinking about the cere mony that will be performed in Washington on the 4th March next. On that day Abraham Lincoln will be inaugurated as the first President of the section of the old United States which still retains the old name. In vain do some Federal partisans in this country try to deny this position. Sophistry can weave no web that will conceal the fact. The people of the Federal States, if not by words, ac knowledge it by their acts. They may not be quite sure that Europe will, on and after the 4th of Ikiarett;lsll l 6olTWllW Confederate States, but they know that on and after that day there will be no pretence for saying that the Government of Wash ington has any legal or constitutional right to claim dominion over the States of the South. Hence the haste to secure if possible an immediate peace, and hence the rumours of recognition that are rife both in Europe and America. At such a juncture it may be desirable to set forth the position of Europe with respect to the two great Confederations of America. It is utterly impossible for any one to invent any pretext to justify the assumption that after the 4th of March next Mr. Lincoln will be President of the Southern as well as of the Northern States. Mr. Lincoln is an elected magistrate, and has no here ditary right to rule the States - of the South. He has not been elected President by the Southern States—or to put it more forcibly, the Southern States have taken no part in his election. What other claim then can Mr. Lincoln urge? Not that of conquest, for 'the South is not conquered. There are only three titles to sovereignty known amongst men —hereditary descent, conquest, and election. No in genuity can devise a fourth title. Will any one pre tend that Mr. Lincoln is the hereditary ruler over the South? Will any one pretend that Mr. Lincoln is the ruler over the South by virtue of conquest ? Will any pretend that Mr. Lincoln is ruler over the South by the title of election ? In despair some Federal partisans in Europe have cried out that the South might have taken part in the election if she would. The Federal Congress has in a most formal and solemn manner refuted this feeble suggestion. The constitution of the United States decrees as follows respecting the election for President, the only action in which the several sove reign States of the Federation participate simultane ously, and which is indeed the only national act:— , " Each State shall appoint, in such manner as the legisla- ture thereof may direct, a, number of electors equal to the whole number of senators and representatives to which the State may be entitled in Congress.. . The person having the greatest number of votes shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors ap pointed. . . If no person have a majority, then, from the five highest in the list, the said house (of Representatives) shall in like manner (by ballot) choose the President. But in choosing the President the votes shall be taken by States, the representative from each State having one vote. A quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or mem bers from two-thirds of the States, and a majority of all the States shall be necessary to a choice." In January last the United States Congress de creed that only 24 States should take part in the November election, and as the 24 included the bogus State of Western Virginia, the congressional decree forbade 11 of the 34 States from taking part in the election. Nor is that all. The Federal House of Representatives has lately adopted a reso lution that the States of Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Floirda, South Carolina, North Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas shall be excluded from the electoral count of the votes for President and Vice President of the United States. Does not this in a most emphatic and legal manner bar the South from taking part in the Presidential election ? Does it not prove that Mr. Lincoln, who is not the hereditary sovereign of the South, nor the sovereign of the South by right of conquest, is not sovereign of the South by virtue of election ? And since there is not a fourth title to sovereignty, is not the action of the United States Congress a de facto recognition of the separation of the South from the North ? There is not a statesman in Europe who does not give an affirmative reply to these questions. We have maintained, and history will maintain, that the South had a legal right to recognition as an independent Confederacy as soon as the act of seces sion was accomplished ; but we do not deny that there was a flimsy argument against recognition, or rather in favour of recognising the title of Mr. Lin coln as supreme magistrate of thG 34 States,because the 34 States took part in his election. But after the 4th of March next the recognition of Mr. Lin coln as the President of the United States cannot and will not involve his recognition as the chief ma gistrate of the Southern States. What then is to be done respecting the South ? In each of the Confe derate States there is a regular go vernmentin ll operation, and there is as much order and la w con. as there is in England or France. There ar e large N rth federate armies in the field , and between the o and South there is a ca rtel ex—Al/lige ' The The yellow book, so much talked about as con taining important diplomatic documents, was dis tributed to-day to the senators and deputies of the Corps Legislatif. Its contents comprise nine de spatches upon the affairs of the Elbe Duchies ; 17 upon Italian and Roman matters, besides the Con vention of September 15 and its supplement ; two despatches upon the annexation of the lonian Islands to Greece, with the Treaty of November 14, 1863, and that of March 29, 1864 ; two despatches upon the affairs of Romania, with the protocol of the Conference of June 28, 1864, the additional article to the Convention of 1858, and the explana- tion of the principles intended to serve as bases for a new electoral law ; five despatches upon Syrian affairs; the text of the arbitration judgment given by the Emperor in the Isthmus of Suez question ; four despatches relating to Tunis ; eight despatches referring to Japan, with the Convention concluded at Paris, June 20, 1864, between the French Minis ter for Foreign Affairs and the Japanese Ambassa dors ; and eight despatches or circulars referring to commercial matters. The yellow book also contains the following de spatch from M. Drouyn de Lhuys to. Count de Sartiges at Rome, Fomp4iniug letter_; addressed by the Papal Nuncio at Paris to two French bishops : " Faris, Feb. 8, 1865. "M. le Comte,—The Government of the Emperor has aeon in the newspapers, with painful surprise,, two letters written by the Apostolic Nuncio, ono to the Bishop of Orleans, congratulating him upon his pamphlet relative to the Convention of the 15th September and to the Ency clical of the Bth of December ; the other to the Bishop of Poitiers, approving his pastoral. "In this twofold step the Nuncio has gravely compro mised the character with which he is invested. In address ing himself to the French bishops, to appreciate and direct their conduct with regard to the Imperial Government, his excellency has overstepped his attributes, which, according to French publiclaw, could only be those of an ambassador. But an ambassador fails in his most essential duty when he encourages, by his approbation, resistance to the laws of the country in which he resides, and criticism of the acts of the Government to which he is accredited. "It is true that in the explanations his excellency has given me upon this matter he has disavowed the publica tion of these letters, which he attributes to blamable indis cretion. But the Government of the Emperor has a right to complain of the fact itself. It hopes, therefore, that the Court of Rome, in its wisdom, will not permit the renewal of similar errors, which the Emperor's Government is fur ther determined not to tolerate. "You will be good enough, M. le Comte, to read this despatch to his Eminence the Cardinal Secretary of State. —Receive, &c., (Signed) " DROUTN DE LliUltS." PARIS, Feb. 17.

It gives an account of an interview of the French Minister for Foreign Affairs with Count Mulinen, the Austrian Charge at Paris. The latter having expressed the surprise of Austria " that the Government of the Emperor desired to arrange the Roman question with Italy, without the parti cipation of any other Catholic Power, and without consulting the Pope as principally interested," M. Drouyn de Lhuys endeavours in his reply to show that the arrangement spoken of does not involve a solution of the Roman question, that it does not change the general situation of Italy, and that it is only "the substitution of a new modus invendi for a system of which we have experienced the incon veniences." These explanations are supplemented by a short lecture on the Austrian Government, from which it is easy to perceive the determination of France to prevent any interference in the penin sula hostile to the Italian kingdom. The despatch concludes as follows : " I told M. de Mulinen that I believed myself able to dis pense with replying to Count Rechberg's remark as to the secrecy we had thought it advisable to observe towards the Court of Rome, upon the ground of ' only being bound to give an explanation, were any asked, to the Government of his Holiness. I added, however, that we had made known at Rome, so soon as we thought opportune, the motives which had inspired our determination and the acts which had been their result. In acting thus we are convinced of having regarded the susceptibilities of honour and the scruples of conscience of the Court of Rome far better than we should have done by placing it in a position to bring forward objections and absolute statements of non-accept ance which it would not have been possible for us to take into account. We stipulated in our own name, but in what appeared to us,the interest of the Roman Government, for guarantees we needed to protect our responsibility in our own eyes ; we had nothing to ask of, or to impose upon, the Court of Rome, and it remains entirely free in itsdeter mination with regard to the arrangements w e hav e con_ eluded with Italy. . th t a h t, e As to of t v he fe re n Cabinet ' occupation of na, serv l e po w in e te h d a v o e u out to upon tuna ppor- Rome, we had only ourselves to c not being allied with any one relati o v n e gu to lt ournctaouinnetd mtuorinaernds but of which we alone ing of which we claim the hono i u was further compelled to tuneness and the manner of putting rnu ond to an rtak had supported the expen se. loc occas ion to indicate to the Auf3- point out that, having it id a e s a soc s w ia h te os i e ts wi ad sd v o ice m made with ours to cause to Pknowledged at other periods, and trian Government our Austria herself had whose app de sir e r h o a v ai 1 a t t o Rom e s ee of which I had pleasure • in recog nising these overtures —and . d application shaeehad recommended, the reply courtesy --testifie d more prudence and circum spection on the part of the Cabinet of Vienna than eager ness with us into any agreement whatever to en ter with regard to the affairs o f Rome. — Receive," &c. The despatch which follows explains even more clearly the reasons which determined the French Government to treat with the Cabinet of Turin without the Pontifical Government. M. Drouyn de Lhuys wrote on the Ist October to M. de Sartiges : "The reception your communication has encountered, AND THE ENGINEER. A report was brought up from the Main Drain age Committee, stating that whilst the committee feel that the board have ho reason to withdraw their perfeetconfidence from their engineer with regard to the settlement of the account of Mr. Furness, for the Northern Outfall Sewer Works, yet, having regard to the fact that he has himself specially requested the appointment of an independent engineer to examine and settle the account in question, they re commend that the application be complied,with ; and that whatever fee may be payable to the engi neer to be so employed, it be paid by the board, and that the subject be referred back to the committee to select an engineer, and to take all necessary steps for completing the matter. The adoption of the recommendation having been moved and seconded, Mr. HALEY moved an amendment to the effect that the board, having full confidence in the integrity of the engineer, saw no reason to ask for the inter ference of any other person in examining the accounts sent in by the contractor, and that the usual course should be followed respecting their examination. The amendment wasseeoutled,old atter matea discussion, in whia the cirri cater and con duct of Nir. Bazalgette' wore highly spoken of, 'was put from the chair, when it was carried, upon a di vision by a majority of 21 to 9. _ Another amendment was moved by Mr. SAMUDA to the same effect, but putting forward the matter more directly in the form of a vote of confidence, and in terms declining the request of the civil engi neer to be relieved from his ordinary duties in such matters. The amendment was seconded, and :also led to much discussion, in which it was obvious that the majority of the board were determined to uphold their engineer to the full extent ; whereas the mino rity considered that the matter ought not to be de cided at present upon the issue of confidence or no confidence. Mr. Samuda's amendment was, however, ulti mately carried by a majority of 19 to 3. The routine business was then disposed of, and the board adjourned. THE BREADALBANE SUCCESSION.—A new effort is about to be made by Lieut. Campbell, one of the claimants of the earldom and entailed estates of Breadal bane, to get the Court of Session to appoint a judicial ma nager of the estates pending the litigation. On the death of the late Marquis of Breadalbane in Nov., 1862, without issue, the right to the entailed estates and to the Scottish earldom reverted to the family of William Campbell of Glenfalloch, one of the substitute heirs named in the Brea dalbane and Inverardan entails, dated 1775. The unen tailed and personal property, unimportant, in comparison, went in terms of the testamentary disposition of the de ceased. The grandson of the second son of Wm. Camp bell, now Mr. Campbell of Glenfalloch, took possession as heir of entail, but his right was challenged by Lieutenant Campbell, of the 2d Bengal Cavalry, the grandson of the sixth son of the substitute heir, and who now sought to set aside the present Glenfalloch on the ground that James not legally married, and that his children were Campbell, his grandfath er, the son of Wm. Cam p bell, wag conse quently illegitimate. Lieut. Campbell petitioned the Court to appoint a manager to the estates, but their lordships re fused the petition, holding that Mr. Campbell of Glenfal loch was entitled to the presumption of legitimacy, in. virtue of which he held Glenfalloch, as well as Breadal bane. They, however, reserved to the petitioner to make another application in the event of any change arising out of the proceedings or circumstances of the case. This judg ment, adopted by three to one, was appealed to the House of Lords, and was there affirmed by two to one. Meantime proof has been taken of Lieut. Campbell's case, and he now . presents that proof to the Court with a new application for a judicial factor. He sets forth that he has pro f v ai ed io t chw James Campbell was never legally married tohOolmen he says, grandmother, Eliza Maria Blanchard, in 1781, ment, stationed in the West of England, of _ hipp g_ in Sod- James Campbell, then a recruiting officworitohfewltehpeed4Oth Regi she being then the wife of Dr. Ludlow, till January - , 1784.. bury, in Gloucestershire, who survived g of legitimacy to Glenbeen proved, so as to give the sta tus No subsequent marriage, according The above statement is, falloch's father, born in 1788. not having yet however, exports, the proof l fo r G lenfalloch to the petitioner, hag ge on thi point is a lawful been opened, and all he possession, and enabled to up his adversary being allowed amounting to over aO,OOO O. lift and extend the t is protect the present suit and to take) succee d, he will have sustained an injury marriage prior to 178511.evrTaeldhee peetitioner complains that by year, his inte rest ° t il e es he can.

BREAKFAST BETE RA.GE , —Homce)pa'hic practitioners, end the medical profession general!y, recommend cocci as being the most healthi ul of all beverages. When the dos, trine of homoeo pat h y was first introduced into this country. there were . to be obt fi ne d no prepara ti ons o f cocoa either at. tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the mit was either supplied in the crude state, or so unskilful', manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London, HorriceOpathie Chemist, was induced in the yeir 18Ia to turn his attention to this subject, and at length succeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined by the perfect tiituration it receives in the process it passes through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli- cious — aroma. Dr. Rasesll, in his wo:k, "Food and ita Adulterations," says —" Cocoa contains a great variety of im portant nutritive principles—every ingredient necessary to the growth and sustenance of the body." Again: "As a nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee or tea." Directions—Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or mak. secured in tin-lined alb., ilb., and 11b. labelled packets, and sold by all grocers, Confectioners, and chemists.— [ADM] NEW NOVEL BY SIR C.
