The coadjutor Bishop of Jamaica has written a letter on the outbreak in Jamaica, which is well worthy of attention, and contains some important statements from one well qualified to speak on the subject. lle commences by saying that no doubt can now exist England that there is but one opinion in Jamaica respecting the measures taken by Governor Ernt for the suppression of the in surrection, and the prevention of a general rebel lion. The addresses that have been presented to the Governor are most litin ' e rolla, and come from every part of the island they repre sent besides all classes and all shades of opinion—indeed many have C ome from those who were politically opposed to th e Go _ n ot recognised his v a l uable vernment, but who have services, and are also indignant at the treatment he has received. It is also very truly said here that sympathy for Mr. EYRE has led the members of the Legislature to forget the wrong done to themselves. In fact nothing could be more insulting to them than the course pursued by the Government at home, for they had affirmed the merit of Governor ErßE's services by their reply to his address at the opening of the Legislative Session, and they agreed to his proposal of surrendering their privileges in order to make a stronger Government, believing that he would be at the head of it. It is always sad to witness the effects of misrepresenta tion and intolerance, but particularly so when, as in this instance, those affected by it areit ignorant 7 :th an ie t T and prejudiced themselves. writ i er letter states that the worst cons e q uences have fol lowed upon the allegations made in England by a certain section, and that they cannot be indifferent to what is said when they witness the effects pro duced ' " by the unjust , u ntruthful, and intemper ate language of a portion of the press on the minds of the ignorant, credulous, and excitable people among w hom they live." He de liberatel y d eclares "that great and irreparable mischief has neen done by this language, and the apparent sanction it has met with from the appointment of the Royal Commission and the suspension of the Governor. It will not be obliterated until this generation has passed away, should Jamaica so long continue to be a possession of the British Crown." This opinion, indeed, seems to be the prevalent one among all those who have had an intimate acquaintance with the West India colonies, and known anything of the characteristics of the negroes. A more unfortunate combination of circumstances could not have taken place than that the unwise proceedings of the Government should have followed upon the disgraceful conduct of those who exaggerated and misrepresented things to so great a degree in this country. Even they, if they could hear, reason would, we presume, be shocked to know the effect of their perverse and most mischievous course. Rebellion is now consi dered to be justified, and the people in Jamaica think that the QUEEN, Government, and people of England are on their side. No statement to the contrary will find favour in their sight that tells them the falsity of these assertions, for their credu lity is great, and they have some foundation to go upon in the fact that those who were so instrumental in putting down the rebellion have been called to account in a summary manner, and, above all, that the Governor has been suspended from the exercise of that authority they so cavilled at. When the acts of the RUSSELL Ministry are hereafter criticised, it will be a dis grace to its memory that so great an injustice should have been done through their instrumen tality, and so much irreparable injury wrongly to the cause of justice and the preservation of order in this important Colony of the Crown. The hand that kindles cannot always quench the flame, how ever, and so it will doubtless prove in this instance. When the present excitement has passed away in Jamaica the effects of these untoward acts will still be felt and long be deservedly regretted. The arrival of the Cuba, from New York, on the 7th, tells us that after long and weary discussion the Reconstruction Committee have reported a reso- lution conditionally agreeing to declare Tennessee one of the United States. This does not appear to impartial observers to be a very great concession, especially as the admission of her representatives is fettered by several conditions. Tennessee, having proved her loyalty by a host of witnesses, has been so far forgiven, but she is to undertake to maintain her existing constitution, to exclude rebels from suffrage and office for a certain time, to ignore the rebel debt, and to make no payment for emancipated slaves. At least so says the resolution, but its terms are not thought sufficiently stringent by some of the Radicals, and it has accordingly been referred back to the committee, on the ground that it did not sufficiently guarantee fidelity to the Union and protection to freedmen. The fact is, as President JOHNSON has very lately shown, that the Union has no worse enemies than the ultra Re publicans, who profess to be its fervent upholders. How a political Union is to be upheld with a large proportion of it 43 component parts totally unrepre sented is a problem which it would take a much clearer head than the Radicals can boast of to solve. But the STEVENS and SUMNER party appear to think of little else than the mere temporary triumph. " Every one perceives," says a writer well acquainted with the political situation, "that in the present Con gress ten out of the eleven States lately in arms will never be represented." Tennessee, indeed, has been so far admitted, at least prospectively, for the extreme caution of some members of Congress have, as we said, sent back the resolution. Louisiana is likely to make an effort to obtain a recognition of her constitutional rights, but there is very little doubt that the Radicals will put forth their whole strength in opposition to the attempt on her behalf, and as they have an overwhelming majority in the llouse of Representatives, Louisiana has little chance. The temper of Radical legislation in Congress has lately received one or two additional illustrations. Resolutions have been introduced pro viding for the admission of Southern representatives whenever the State Legislatures place freedmen on an equality with whites, grant the suffrage to negroes who served in the Federal army and pay taxes, and ignore the rebel debt and payment for emancipated slaves. These prcipositions would not be remark able were it not for the additional provision that until these conditions are fulfilled no State Governments organised under the PRESIDENT'S authority, or by :.he action of the people, shall be recognised by Congress. This is clearly setting up Congress as the dominant power in the State, not alone in oppo sition to the functions of the executive, but to the will of the people themselves. We have an instance of the manner in which these extravagant pretensions are maintained by the Radicals in a recent division. By a vote of 100 to 37 the House of Representatives re fused to receive a communication from the Go vernor of North Carolina, Mr. STEVENS asserting that the House did not recognise the Government of North Carolina. The House, moreover, adopted an amendment to the military bill, providing that no cadet shall be appointed to West Point from the Southern States until those States are restored to the Union by a resolution of Congress. We hhve already seen how hopeless is this alternative ; so that according to the prevailing Radical doctrines, all this vast territory, with its free and intelligent population, is to be treated as outcast and degraded. It is not possible that such a state of things can continue, and the Radicals are themselves the principal originators of that Southern disaffection they talk so much of. It would be strange, indeed, if high spirited men were to show anything but indignation and discontent at the manner in which they are treated by STEVENS and his coadju tom. Were it not that in the South, as in the North, wiser and more moderate counsels prevail, and the people feel confidence in the equitable intentions of the Government, the Radical party would pro bably before now have provoked some display of irritated feeling. How the Radicals propose to raise the necessary funds io keep the South in subjection as a con quered country is uncertain. On the point of finance they are likely to be soon undeceived, for the monetary difficulties of the time grow more and more pressing. Commercial men apprehend that the reaction to Which they have so long looked for ward is at hand, but it may possibly be averted by prudent and foresighted measures. America can not certainly afford to go to war just yet, though she is quarrelling with Canad a a b out the Recipro city Treaty, and allowing the Fenians to proceed to extravagant lengths. On the subject of the treaty there is naturally much dis: cussion. The Canadians have shown every desire to conciliate and to arrange matters to the advar .tage of both sides. The Americans, however, will come to no terms excepting such elaborate-pro visic ins for their own exclusive benefit, that the other Gov ernments could not possibly recognise them. The , American Free Trade League has sent a petition to ti 'le Senate, asking for a renewal of the treaty, and an enlargement of existing regulations. It aims, indeed, at an entirely free interchange of goods, Ent there is very little chance of so rational a mean ure being seriously entertained in the pre sent temper of the American mind. The Fenians have held a mass meeting, attended, it is said, by 100,000 persons, the primary object of which was to sell the bonds of the Irish Republic ! Matkrial nid and moral support were asked from America, on the ground that the suspens ion of the Habeas Corpus Act made Ireland a belligerent ! This novel illustration of interna tional law was received, as it deserved to be, with enthusiasm. Happily, for our peace of mind, the money and the arms are to go in so many different directions at once, that they are likely to lose some of their force. It seems as if the Ministers were not to have it all their own way in proceeding with their Re form Bill. Already many signs of dissent and tokens of disappointment were visible on the Minis terial side of the house, and now we find that the Opposition intend to move an amendment to the second reading. Many who do not belong to the Conservative party will agree with the terms of the amendment, which is to declare that nothing short of a complete Reform Bill will satisfy the country. This is very much what every one felt after perusing Mr. GLADSTONE'S elaborate address the other night, and it is certainly a significant thing that the few members who promised to support the Government measure qualified their approval of it by saying that it did not do this, and left that im portant matter untouched. Those independent members who spoke in that strain, while they appa rently assisted, in reality damaged the bill, for they showed how poor and inefficient was the aid on which the occupants of the Treasury benches could rely. No doubt we shall soon hear enough of the want of principle which characterises the Conserva tives in their seeking to thwart the Government, but, at the same time, it may be suggested that they are only following out and taking for their mould the present Premier. They have this advantage over their opponents, that they can make out a better case, and adduce weightier reasons for their opposition than could those who combined with Earl RUSSELL to throw out the Derby Reform Bill. That was in every sense of the word a far more complete and comprehensive scheme for amending the representa tion of the people than the present one, which has been heralded by so much pomp and circumstance, and which has turned out merely an instalment after all. It is not likely, unless events take a very different turn, that Mr. GLADSTONE will now suc ceed in getting his bill through the second reading, and perhaps he will not care, for he has shown no heartiness in the affair. His speech was tame, and his subsequent remarks, in answer to the various questions addressed to him, showed that he took little interest in the matter. It certainly is not a measure likely to impart much fame to its origina tors, and it bears about it the incompleteness which has characterised all the schemes of reform that Lord RUSSELL has introduced of late years. If this new instalment fail, it will be mainly the fault of those who have allowed so much opportu nity to their adversaries to gainsay their attempt, and they cannot say in vindication of their policy that they have been defeated in their effort to settle this vexed question in a de- finite manner. At the same time it mu be admitted that if the Conservatives take the lead in throwing out the Government proposal they will take upon themselves the responsibility of in troducing a better measure whenever they have the opportunity. The country will not be satisfied that this great question should be left in abeyance while it is made the theme of political disputes and the war-cry of political parties. Had any real love of Reform animated the Liberal party we should not nowadays be discussing the pros and cora. of this measure, for the difficulties of the subject would long ago have been settled in some shape or other, but they have made much ado about nothing, and arrived at no practical result. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. The discussion in the Legislative Body on Satur day is of the highest importance, to France at least. An amendment is under consideration called " the amendment of the 46," it being signed by that num ber of Deputies. In that part of the Speech in which mention is made:of the internal policy of France, the Opposition wish to introduce words expressing the necessity of progress in her institutions, mean ing the establishment of various reforms, " which would not be incompatible with the stability which now exists." The present time is alleged to be con venient and opportune for the political amendments contended for by the Opposition. The principal speaker in support of the amendment, M. Buffet, particularly insisted upon the necessity of giving more freedom to the press. Political liberty, he said, was the legitimate ambition of France. The discussion was adjourned till Monday. The young Imperial Prince has now entered upon a new phase of his existence, and having commenced his eleventh year he will no longer be treated as a child. Napoleon Eugene Louis Jean Joseph was born on the 16th of March, 1856, and consequently on Friday last was ten years old. Some uneasiness was excited a few days ago when he was attacked with measles, and every day a bulletin of his health was sent to the various foreign Ambassadors. The Pope's Nuncio also sent a despatch to his Holiness to inform him of the state of health of his godson. The Prince pursues his studies every day with great regularity under the skilful direction of M. Mon nier, his tutor, but they are so arranged as to in sure his health by pioper recreation. He evinces great aptitude for the study of the classics, history, and geography. He speaks English fluently, having learnt it from a very early age from an English ser vant, who, with his nurses, paid great attention to him, so that he imbibed English, as it were, with his milk. Although the Prince has not yet begun to learn drawing or music, he evinces great taste for both, and is fond of sculpture. Having received a few notions of the art from M. Carpeaux, he has executed three works which have astonished all who have seen them—a small statue of a Lancer on horseback, and two busts, one of the Emperor, and one of M. Monnier, his tutor. The likeness of the Emperor is wonderful. The Prince is daily exercised in gymnastics, and is very fond of riding. His chief predilection is for the study of arms, and all connected with " war's vast art." Every week, under the tuition of a sergeant of the :First Regi ment of Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard, he goes through exercises in the reserved portion of the Tuileries gardens, and reviews a platoon of the young soldiers of the Regiment of which he is cor poral. Sometimes after the exercise he invites the young soldiers to partake . of - a cold collation, at which he presides with great ease, gaiety, good humour, and appetite. During the fetes which have taken place this winter at the Tuileries the Prince has occasionally appeared in the saloon, and his ease, affability, and ele gant manners have excited general admiration. Since the return of the Court from Compiegne in December last, the Prince has dined at the family table, where his cover is laid near that of the Em peror and Empress. The religious education of the Prince is confided to Abbe Deguerry, the curate.of THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 19, 1866. General Yusuf, commandant of the military divi sion of Montpellier, to whose illness I have already alluded, has just died 9,t Cannes, after a very long suffering. It was hoped that the beautiful climate of that locality would ha ve res t ore d him. The Siecle says:— " Our despatches this morning do not confirm the report in circulation yesterday of an open rupture between Prussia and Austria." Viscount Talon was thrown from his horse last Sunday at the Vincennes steeplechases, but his injury was trifling, and he is now quite recovered. The cashier of the branch bank of the Bank of France at Poitiers has just absconded with, it is said, a very large sum of money belonging to the bank. The Moniteur states that the Republic of the Ecuador has concluded a treaty offensive and de fensive with Chili and Peru, and declared war against Spain. Spain has recognised the Republics of Guatemala, Honduras, San Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. A treaty of peace and friendship has been signed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and by the representatives of the various Republics. In consequence of the war between Spain, Chili, and Peru, the Captain-General of Cuba has issued a notice, that, until further orders, the entrance to the ports of the island will be interdicted during the night to national and foreign vessels of com merce. A very old soldier, well known by the title of Father Joseph, has just died at Passy, near Paris. He was 112 years of age, and possessed the use of all his faculties up to the last moment of his existence. Another drama, Gabriel Lambert, has been pro duced at the Ambigu Comique, from the Den of the inexhaustible Alexandre Dumas, aided by Aned6e de Jalais. SIGNOR ETHARDO.—This spiral asceusionist, after a most successful engagement at Day's Crystal Palace, Bir mingham, visits Cheltenham and Manchester, previous to his reappearance at the Crystal Palace on Easter Monday, where ho is engagod for the season. THE ADMIRALTY.—We aro sorry to state that Mr Henry Fenwick has resigned his place as one of the Lords of the Admiralty. We regret that he has felt bound to take this step by reason of the delicate state of his health, as well as by not having a seat in Parliament. Although not pressed upon the matter, he felt that he ought not in delicacy to continue to hold a parliamentary office. There will soon, therefore, be a new commission of the Admiralty issued to supply his place, and also that of Admiral Drum mond, who is about to take up his command, and who will probably be succeeded by Lord John Hay. Although Lord Clarence Paget will soon be employed upon foreign service, it is not necessary for him to give up Parliament until his flag-ship can be got ready for the Mediterranean, which will probably be not before May. He will be suc ceeded at the Admiralty by Mr. T. G. Baring, M.P. for Falmouth. There will then bo at the disposal of the Go vernment a Lordship of the Admiralty and the Under Secretaryship of State, which latter does not vacate a seat in Parliament.— Observer. AN ENORMOUS LAKE TROUT.--A splendid brown trout of 121bs. 6oz. has been received for preservation by Mr. IV. A. Hackett, of Patrick-street, Cork, from Capt. H. A. Herbert of Muckross's gamekeeper. This fine speci men is 2 feet 6 inches in length, and 17 inches in girth, is a male fish, and in the finest possible condition. A brace of sea trout were found in his capacious stomach.—Cork Constttution. THE ROAD MURDER AND THE KENT FAMILY.— It is stated that a violent article against Mr. and Mrs. Kent in an Edinburgh journal has had a deep effect upon both, and that Mrs. Kent has been seized with a paralytic attack which deprived her of speech, and she now lies in a de plorable state. The additional calamity has sorely shat tered the unfortunate husband. CONVICTION OF A WOMAN FOR THE MURDER OF HER HUSBAND.—SENTENCE OF DEATIL—Mary Ann Ashford, 44, was indicted at Exeter, on Friday, before Mr. Justice Byles, for the wilful murder of her husband William Ashford, by poisoning him in November last, at Clyst Honiton, near Exeter. The trial lasted the whole day, and did not conclude until late in the evening, when a verdict of Guilty was found and sentence of death passed. Mr. Kingdon and Mr. N. Slade were counsel for the prose cution ; and Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr. Gox, appeared for the defence. THE PERILS OF MINERS.—TWO men went to a pit top near Sheffield a few mornings since. The engine tenter was sleepy and refused to test the ropes, as re quired by law. The men determined not to descend, but made the engineer believe they wore on the cage, when he drew it up to the head gear instead of sending it down the shaft. The men were thankful at their narrow escape from death. A LITTLE VIRGINIA SARCAS3I.—A Virginia paper, the Petersburg index, finds its bile stirred by the remark of • seine critic that Mr. Wells' Lifo of Samuel Adams shows that that patriot had a larger share than Jefferson in bringing on the Revolution. The index there upon "lets out " upon New England views of history, in a style of which the following is a specimen :—" Our private opinion and belief is that there are authentic documents now in the library of Yale College —or will be there when needed—to prove that Bunker Hill Monument marks the sight of Babylon the Mighty, that Carthage was no more nor less than Portland, Ostium, Nahant, and Boston, in fact Athens ; that Homer was Professor of Belles Letters at Harvard, and Palinurus a member of the Cam bridge Yacht Club ; that Priscian taught a grammar school at Montpelier, and Archimedes was a private tutor of che mistry in Concord; that St. Peter was a Cape Cod fisherman, and St. Matthew a collector of the internal revenue at Stonington, that Phidias owned a brown stone quarry in Maine, and Socrates founded the Atlantic Monthly : that the Academia was the walk under the yew trees at New Haven, and the Colossus of Rhodes a statue which strided from Nantucket to Martha's Vineyard ; that Plymouth Rock is all that is left of the Tower of Babel, and the Connecticut Riven ran through Paradise ; that Stonington is the site of Tyre, and Merrimac fast colours the dyes that made that city famous ; that the old Temple of Diana at Ephesus was not burned, but is now Fanouil Hall, and that Herodotus and Wendell Phillips were the same persons ; that the fable of Romulus and his brother being suckled by a wolf (lupus) arose from the circumstance that their mother was the lest Vermonter who looped her dresses ; that Mercury was the ancient name of Ben. Butler's family, and that, like everything else in New Eng land, tha family had gone on perfecting itself from the start ; that the sun shines tix hours per diem more on that favoured spot than on any other between the poles ; and that Noah's family *were soinuch elated at an alliance with the Websters of Massachasetts that they got up a dic tionary to commemorate the fact ; that St. Patrick was the Head Centro of a Fenian ciao in Bangor, and St. Andrew kept a distillery in Lowell; and, finally, that the millennium will begin in Boston, and will not be allowed to extend beyond its limits, except by a two-thirds vote of the tax payers of that heavenly city, excluding all who have at any time iu their most secret tioughts expressed a doubt of the propriety of hanging Jeff. Davis and Gen. Lee on a sour apple tree." . , La Madeleine, who is about to prepare him to re , ceive his first communion. The Prince is exceed , ingly popular with the French people. They are pleased with his frank bearing and affability, and the army take pride in the young soldier who pro mises to be so great an ornament of it. The Em peror takes every opportunity of bringing the Prince into communication with all classes of so ' ciety, a happy inspiration, which will enable him from an early age to become acquainted with the wants and wishes of the great nation over which he is destined to reign hereafter, at a period, however, it is to be hoped, far remote from the present, for the desire of all France in regard to their Emperor is " long may he reign." On the 22d February last a dieree was issued ap pointing the Prince Honorary President of the Uni versal National Exhibition of 1867 —not that he can take any active part in the labours of the commis sion, but the appointment has a significance which will not escape the perception of the French people. A new circus is to be opened to-morrow evening —the Cirque du Prince Imperial—under the imme diate patronage of the Prince. It is situated in the Rue Malte, at the entrance of the Boulevard du Prince Eugene, the locality formerly so well known as the Boulevard du Temple, where the theatres for " sensation dramas" are situated. It is a very hand some amphitheatre, and was constructed under the direction of a skilful architect, M. Brevet. It will contain 4,000 persons, all of whom will have a good view of the spectacle, which will be semi-equestrian. There is a circus in the Champs Elysees, the Cirque de:l'lmperatricer and the Cirque Napoleon on the Boulevard des Filles-du-Calvaire. Amphitheatres for horse riding in France date from the reign of Childebert, who inaugurated this description of public amusement at Arles and Nismes. The foun dation walls of this amphitheatre at Nismes still exist, and all travellers to the south of France visit the spot with interest. In 1780 Astley had a circus in the Faubourg da Temple, and three years after wards he entered into partnership with the well known Frenchman Franconi. Ducrow and some English pantomimists exhibited in Paris in the year 1819. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) ITALY. ROME, MARCH .18 (Evening).

Three Vols. Blackett. ••• 110 Hurst and This is the work of an earnest, thoughtful mind, and very forcibly are the opinions of the author illustrated by the narrative. With the result of his opinions we cannot say that we ourselves con cur, nor probably will the majority of his readers; but the book is well written, and contains little to offend the taste or feeling of the reader. The scene opens at Oxford, where, among other gownsmen, we make the acquaintance of Cyril Ponsonby, John Fordyce, and Edgar Purcell. John Fordyce is the principal hero of the tale. Startled by a sudden calamity to a sense of the sin and folly of the " fast" life that he is leading, John Fordyce ponders deeply upon life and religion. He is destined for the Church, but as the time for his ordination draws near he feels that he cannot conscientiously become an English Minister. He does not turn Catholic or Dissenter, but, while attending the or dinary public worship, believes in his heart in a religion " beyond the Church." " Where and how may I learn the truth ? How know what the Church of England holds, and whether she hold that aright ? Is there no certainty, no assurance ? Is all to be vague and shadowy and unsettled? Does any party represent and embrace the Church ? Can I learn the whole truth from any one section, be its pretences what they may? Must I not go deeper and farther for the final great truth, underlying and pervading in various degrees all these iso lated expressions of it. There must be a Church, and that Churcli must be universal ; can any National Church then express and contain that great body of truth en shrined in the whole ? How is it that scarcely two of the clergy agree upon all these vital points ? How is it that they argue differently—come to opposite conclusions —and each maintain so stoutly the absolute truth of their own conclusions ?" John's refusal to enter the Church and accept the hereditary living in store for him arouses the fierce ire and indignation of his father, the reverend rec tor of Easimore-cum-Singabed, in the Fens. " The comfortable rectory, spacious conservatory, pinery, melon-pits, and fruitful gardens, the envy of the country," with an income of eleven hundred per annum is rejected by John, and his father disowns him on the spot. Heavy trials await the conscien tious thinker, and he finds that the same society that thought little of his sinful deeds, while he was indulging in his wild career, look with very different eyes upon the religious scruples of his conscience which they regard as unpardonable iniquity. The character of John is very genuine and earnest, but his religious opinions are assuredly somewhat misty. If every one followed his religion, or rather his no-religion, they wanld. be " berand. the Church," indeed, but in the regions of spiritual chaos. " A kingdom of the Just then let it be, But first consider how those Just agree." Other types of character and various examples of clergymen quite indifferent to the responsibilities of their position, are introduced. The best indivi dual in the book is Maxwell of St. Catherine's, a man of practical religion ; by his side alone bewil dered John is enabled to see clearly the duty of the hour, and to find comparative peace. Cyril Ponsonby, the polished, used up gentleman, is alogether too elegant and refined to be designated a villain, but altogether too despic able to be called anything else. Cyril takes life easily. When he goes on a Welsh expedition he thinks mountains "a mistake, and a horrible nuisance."— " Why on earth couldn't Nature be content to lie flat instead of bumping up in hillocks like a school apple-pie ? It is a waste of energy on her part ; I think a mountain always means—to me at least—a groat deal of fatigue and a great deal of perspiration, and all for nothing but to be a few feet nearer the sky than SORLS other Tom fool. Why not say you have been up there, as Sheridan ad vised his son about the Mine ? People tell so many lies themselves, that they dare not find you out." Cyril Ponsonby and John Fordyce, cousins as they are, are throughout their whole career a perfect contrast to each other, but we will not reveal the various relations of the story. As an evidence of the thoughts and feelings which pervade these pages, let us quote this brief allusion to THE IRREVOCABLE PAST. There is nothing so terrible to contemplate as the irre vocable Past. Future evils, however near, are softened and alleviated by hope. Present troubles bring their own cure by enforcing action ; but for the Past there is neither hope nor remedy. The Past with its burden of miser able sin, of fruitless sorrow and suffering, of neglected opportunities and wasted hours, with its ceaseless dirge of " too late," the saddest sound which language frames, is lik3 an impenetrable granite rock which no efforts can pierce, or tears melt. " It might have been," "I once could," " If:I had," " Ob, that I had not", whose life memory is free from these ghastly echoes of the past ? As giving a glimpse, a tolerably truthful glimpse, of some phases of university and clerical life, this book may be read with interest. It is also a sound exposition of its writer's thoughts and feelings, as far as they go, for we hardly think the end is here. The coloured population of Nashville celebrated the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation on the 22d ult., by a large procession, consisting of two regiments of coloured soldiers and two thousand coloured people. After .their parade they were addressed by Governor Brownlow, who congratulated them upon their emancipa tion. The Trustees of the Washington National Monu ment Society show that, after paying all liabilities against the fund, there is a balance of nearly $12,000 invested in good securities for the monument. A South Carolina planter has sent North for one hundred German immigrants to work his plantation, and others propose to do the same. A special despatch to the New York Times says that the receipts of the internal revenue, from July Ist, 1865, to February Ist, 1866, reached $200,939,968. It is estimated that under the present system the receipts for the balance of the year will amount to $300,000,000. There are in San Francisco, according to the di rectory, 119,000 inhabitants. Of these there are 376 lawyers, 58 apothecaries, and 243 physicians. There are 23 printing offices, 1,722 liquor shops, and 29 breweries. The important controversy between the Pennsyl vania Railway Company and the Atlantic and Great Western Railway Company has been decided against the latter, the Court granting an injunction denying the right of the Catawissa Railroad Company tt make a lease with the Atlantic and Great Western. The decision caused an immediate transfer of over four thousand shares of the Catawissa stock. The course which may be adopted by the Atlantic and Great Western to overcome this obstacle to their proposed consolidations will be looked to with much interest. • Both Houses of the Missouri Legislature have passed resolutions disapproving the President's veto by a vote, in the House, of 77 to 25; in the Senate, 21 to 5. The courts of Texas admit negroes to testify like other persons. They hold that the law against this fell with the reasons of the law. They also decide that Texas is not a conquered country, and therefore an unconquered State of the Union. The Irish Church Establshment—Facts or Fiction ? TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The small book compiled by the Rev. A. Lee in defence of the Irish Church Establishment, and printed and circulated by the Church Institu tion, under the title of " Facts respecting the pre sent State of the Church in Ireland," will probably form a kind of brief for Church advocates in Par liament. Part of it has appeared in the Times, in Dr. Lee's reply to the letter of Mr. Aubrey de Vere. As I believe that compilation contains very erroneous views, unfit to be advertised as "Facts " by one who, though an Englishman, writes in the name of the Irish Clergy, I venture to offer a few remarks upon the leading " statements" which Dr. Lee advances : I. The assertion that " the Established Church is the old Catholic Church of Ireland," and that it is " the same in doctrine, discipline, and govern ment as the church founded by St. Patrick," is not believed to be true by Irishmen in general. The greatest of modern Irishmen, Edmund Burke, did not believe it, for he wrote, in his tracts on the Popery Laws—" It is proper to recollect that this religion (the Roman Catholic) which is so perse cuted in its members, is the old religion of the coun try, and the once-established religion of the State." (Burke's works, vol. ix., p. 367). The English in vaders in 1172 did not introduce a new church into Ireland, but cherished the old one which they found there, and which, 20 years before, as is proved by the Kells Synod, at which Cardinal Paparo assisted, was in full communion with Rome. 11. The assertion of Dr. Lee that " The Estab lished Church is the rightful possessor of the tithes of Ireland" is in one sense a truism, for the Angli can clergy do legally, at present, receive tithe rent charge ; but if it be implied that the Anglican clergy were and are entitled to claim the tithes of Ireland as their inalienable property, then the state ment is untrue ; for tithes are not to be regarded as a benefit " to the actual holders of the endowments," as Archbishop Whately well remarks, but as a bene fit "to the community for whose sake they were bestowed." And as " the community, for whose sake" tithes were originally bestowed in Ireland, was the whole Irish nation, and not any part of it, it is not difficult to perceive the inference to which Archbishop Whately's premises inevitably lead. 111. " The Church of England and the Church of Ireland were," says Dr. Lee, " ecclesiastically one before the Union." This is not a fact. The two churches had separate Canons, and their unity, or rather agreement, was merely, as one of those Canons states, au agreement " in the profession of the same Christian religion," and "in the confes sion of the same Christian faith and the doctrine of the sacraments." The Scotch and American Epis copal churches have the same agreement, but no ecclesiastical unity. IV. " The temporalities of the Church in Ire land," so far from being, as Dr. Lee states, " placed on the same footing as those of the Church in England by the Act of Union," are not so much as mentioned in that act. Lord Plunket, in refe rence to that article of the act which concerns the union of the churches, asks :—" Was there anything in that article which identified the temporal possessions of the Church of Ire land with those of the Church of England ? There was nothing of the kind. The Irish tempo ralities were altogether distinct from those of the Church of England." Archbishop Whately, also, when asked before the House of Lords in 1832--" Does not the tithe in England stand upon a very different footing from that in Ireland ?" gave an affirmative reply. V. " The attack on the Church in Ireland" need not be considered by Dr. Lee as " virtually an attack on the Church in England also." That attack is only made on the monopoly of temporal endowments and the ascendancy at present enjoyed by the Church of the minority. The existing ecclesiastical settlement of Ireland could only have been maintained by the armed power of England. What did Archbishop Whately, say about coercion regarding religion ? " Christ him self (wrote Richard Whatciy in 1820) has ex pressly renounced all secular authority and for bidden all coercion in the cause of His religion." VI. "The Church in Ireland has," no twithstand ing Mr. Lee's assertion to the contrary, very consider ably " lost ground since the census of 1834." The members of the Established Church have, indeed, obtained a relative numerical advantage to a small extent over Roman Catholics, owing to the fact that the severity of the famine of 1848 fell chiefly on the poorer classes, the Roman Catholics. But the United Church has lost ground to an enormous extent as respects Protestant Dissenters ; for while Anglicans have, since 1834, introduced themselves into only five parishes wherein they had no footing in that year, Presbyterians have introduced them selves into 623 new parishes, and " other Protestant Dissenters" into 526 parishes in which they had no residence in 1834—(Census of Ireland, 1861, p. 36.) VII. Dr. Lee, alarmed at the incontrovertible fact that 199 parishes in Ireland had not a single Anglican inhabitant in 1861, labours to point out " the difference between a benefice and a parish in Ireland," where unions are very common. But, admitting that there is only one parochial clergy man without a single parishioners of his own faith, the significant fact remains, that these 199 parishes, most of which, if in England, would have a rector, and each of which (except a few which are impro priate) pays for one, contain 98,017 Roman Catho lics, being an average to each parish of 492 indivi duals, which is far higher than the average Anglican population of the benefices in Ireland. VIII. Mr. Lee expresses an opinion (perhaps intended to do duty. as a " fact") that it is unfair to speak of the gross population as less under the care of the Established clergy in Ireland than in England. It may be true that many of the Irish clergy treat all their parishioners as under their care, but the attitude of the flock towards the legal shepherd differs widely in the two countries ; for, in England, Dissenters occasionally use parish churches, and accept the ministrations of parish ministers, but in Ireland Roman Catholics never do so. In fact Romanists cannot even enter an Anglican church to join in the funeral service, without incurring the risk of ecclesiastical censure and punishment. I.K. As to the " necessity of maintaining the parochial system" in Ireland "in all its integ rity," Archbishop Whately was of a very dif ferent opinion from Mr. Lee. In his " Notes on Tithes in Ireland," the Archbishop mentioned, a plan (proposed by the Hon. Mr. Baring in 1835) which would have entirely destroyed the paro chial system, for it recommended the vesting of all church endowments in a Board of Commis sioners, who should have " the power (on the de mise of each incumbent) to re-distribute the re venues according to the wants of the congregations in each district, instead of adhering to the mere ter ritorial divisions. This appeared to me (continued his Grace) a most important improvement, consi• dering how unequally the Protestant population o: Ireland is distributed." X. The " present revenues of the Church in Ire land" are, according to Mr. Lee, not sufficient to remunerate the clergy for " the work they have to do." Ile states, or rather understates, those revenues in a somewhat uncandid manner. He says they may be calculated " with some degree of certainty" by aid of recent parliamentary returns, that is, those of Captain Stacpoole and Sir F. Hey gate. Mr. Lee then quotes the net incomes of bishops and clergy, as if those incomes made up the revenue of the Church. It happens, how ever, that the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, when they estimated " the aggregate amount of the re venue of the Established Church (whether derived from land, rent-charge, or any other source) at the sum of £586,428 Bs. id., omitted the sums which they themselves receive out of the see estates for church purposes. In calculuting the gross revenue they also wholly omitted the value of the see houses and glebe houses, and in valuing the glebe lands they adopted a rate of valua tion lower in many instances than even the poor law valuation, which is well known to be much under the true letting value. Sums derived, from pew-rents are also omitted ; the value of such a church as Trinity Church, Dublin (which Ex-Chancellor Napier thought more profitable than a bishopric), being set down by the Commissioners, at the ridiculously low estimate of £44 ss. Bd. The true amount of Irish church revenues cannot be ascertained without a government inquiry, so unwilling are the officials to give information. In Soames' edition of Mosheim's Ecclesiastical History (a text-book / 11 Dublin University), the amount of Irish church re venue is stated as " under £BOO,OOO a-year." [Vol. iv., p. 472, foot-note. Ed. 1850.] There is a lawyer-like view of church property, which heretofore was much relied on, and is now frequently brought forward as furnishing an un answerable argument for maintaining in slat° quo the Irish Church temporalities. It is argued that the Church is a corporate body, w ith the same tight to her property as colleges or hospi tals, or any other public institutions, whatever , have to their respective endowments, and that the present Anglo-Irish Church being the same body corporate which first enjoyed the temporal possessions of the church in Ireland, must, there fore, be protected in the enjoyment of the re venues, &c., as a simple matter of right. B u t not to insist that there has been —practically, if not legally—a break in the succession, as regards property, between the ancient Roman Catholic arid the modern Protestant Establishments, it must be evident to dispassionate observers that the reformed Anglo-Irish Church has always been an imperfect, abortive, and unnatural sort of an Irish body corporate. It has always had a head, that is, 3 hierarchy—.brought until recently, almost exclusively from England—but it has never had the other, and the essential part of a national body—that is, the great bulk of the Irish people. The body of the Irish Church cannot consist exclusively of the eleven per cent. of the population now mem bers of the Church Established. Richard Whately, however, did not claim for the pro perty of ecclesistical or other corporations perpetual protection. "I freely acknowledge," he observes [Letters on the Church, p. 137. Loll" don : Longmans, 1826.] " that the State has a right to take away the property of all or any of those corporations (indemnifying, of course, those individuals actually enjoying the revenues) when ever the manifest inutility or hurtfulness of the institutions renders their abolition important to the public welfare." Indeed, the Archbishop,' in 1832, in his evidence before the House of Lords, witnessed to the readiness with which an alienation of tithe property in Ireland to secular purposes would have been at that time received 131 Protestants. " I allude," said his Grace, " to (wha t has been thrown out in various shapes) the sug gestion of applying tithes to the purpose of establishing a fund for the relief of the poor, similar to the endowments of parishes in England ; something that shall do all the good of the poor laws, and at the same time not be a burden to the parishioners. This would certainly be (as far as I have been able to ascertain from the greater part of my clergy), a popular measure even with Protestants." Few will question the correctness of Dr. Whately's judgment in this respect, when it is remembered how unresistingly Irish Protestants of' fered themselves to be relieved from contributing , by means of parish cess and minister's money, to the maintenance of Anglican clergy and Anglican wor ship. Much bitterness of feeling would bo avoided in he discussion of these questions if it were care- 'ally borne in memory that Protestant ascendancy and the temporalities of the Church of Ireland in their present shape are not essential to the well- being of the Church, and may be removed with out injury to religion and with positive benefit to the country. Of Protestant ascendancy Edmund Burke thus wrote (vol. ix. of his works, page 412) —" I think I can hardly overrate the malignity of the principles of Protestant ascendancy as they affect Ireland." It is in va i n t o ex p ec t that the vast majority of the populati on w ill en d u re the monopoly, by a small minority, of th e national endowments for religious (not to mention educe' tional) purposog. That minority, though enjoying ascendancy as the legal corporation in possession' could not establish an equitable title to that pro- perty before any impartial tribunal in Christendom• I have the honour to be, your obedient servant, March, 1866.
