The affairs-of Hungary do not seem to prosper as we could wish, and notwithstanding the popu larity which the Rescript met with at the time of its appearance in certain qua.rfers,' we do not see that it is likely eventually to effect all the objects desired. This is the more to be regretted, since at this time it is especially important for peace and tranquillity to reign there. M. DEAK, inthe name of the Moderate party, moved that in the address which was to be presented to the EMPEROR they should request his 111AJESTY to restore the complete Constitution of 1848. He also proposed that the address should contain an announcement to the effect that the committee on common affairs had resumed its sittings. This is the more significant, because prior to doing so a member of the Left, M. TISZA, introduced a motion for the purpose of arranging that a committee of fifteen should be elected to draw c , up an address to the EMPEROR demanding the full restoration of the rights of Hun gary." The debate and the address will be com menced to-morrow, an d we may then expect some great struggle to take place ; we hope, however, that M. DEAN and hi s party may gain th e i r object, so far, at all eve n t s, as to pass a suitable address to the EmPEROR. It would be a very suicidal course for the Deputies to take at this time to come into direct collision with the Vienna Government, and they wi.l best show their patriotic sentiments by abstaining from anythi ng lase bitterness or prejudice when affairs are in s uc h a critical state. The only way to settle matters in at all a satisfactory manner would be for both sides to give up some of their cherished schemes, and thus work together for the common good. Of course it is well known that more might be done for Hungary than has been proposed or suggested by the EnrEl;on, but still, take it all in all, there was iittiieient hope in the &script to allow of much im- THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 30, li6u. The Prussian Ministers do not seem to be very fortunate just now, for the last news is that Herr von der lIEvDT, the Minister of Finance, has been attacked with a serious illness, supposed to be apoplexy, and his condition is regarded as unfavour able. Count BISMARCK'S health is also very unsatis factory, and it is said by a Berlin journal that he is desired by his medical attendants to pass the winter in Italy. Considerable difficulties seem to exist in the way of the Prussians and the Hanove rians coming to a settlement. It is quite of a piece with the usual course of Berlin morality that the authorities should refuse to deliver up the private fortune of King GEORGE until he shall have relieved the Hanoverian officers from their oath of allegiance. What right they can possibly have to that is for them to show, for other nations cannot see their claim. It is per haps unwise for King GEORGE to persist in his re fusal, but that does not improve the case so far as regards the policy of King WILLIAM'S advisers. It is said if the late King of HANOVER should re lease these officers it will be on condition that they shall serve in no other armies than that of Prussia ; and, besides, some of the superior Hanoverian officers have ordered the soldiers under them not to enter the Prussian service in the face of the Government of Prussia having decreed their incorporation with the Prussian army. This confusion is a very sad beginning to the grand work of German unity that has been so vaunted in all directions. Miss Mr. BRIGHT seems resolved not to let Irish sub ects alone, although one would think he had enough, if not more than enough, to do with English ones just now. He could not possibly find a more in judicious course to pursue at this juncture than to endeavour to increase the discontent that prevails in some quarters in that island. However he is so proud of his scheme of selling estates that he is induced to go on at all hazards with his remarks. In a letter that has been received from him by a gentleman at ' Essex he alludes to the condition of things at pre sent between landlord and tenant in no very flatter ing or favourable terms. His chief idea seems to be that the Irish landlords feel that they can rely on " English force" to sustain them, and therefore they " are careless as to the condition of the country and the feelings of the tenantry." Putting aside the exaggeration and misrepresentation of these remarks, can anything be more unwise than to use such language at a time when discord is so preva lent as it now is among misguided persons in Ire land? Discontaxt and insurrection menace the country, according to Mr. BRIGHT'S idea, but the landlord sleeps in peace, and feels that his rents and his power are secure because " Eng lish force" is always at hand. Nothing, however, came up to the opinions contained in this paragraph :—" If Ireland were a thousand miles away from us all this would at once be changed, justice would be done, and the landlords would be exterminated by the vengeance of the people." How much happier and better off would they be when they had had recourse to these violent and extreme measures we should like to know, but what we have to do with now is to reflect upon the extreme impro priety of any one using such language at a time like the present. Wisdom and moderation are not, however, to be met with from the hon. member for Birmingham ; and it is quite evident by this time that he will say, at all times and in all places, what suits his purpose and expresses his views, without regard or reference to suggestions of pru dence or propriety. He goes on to declare that he sees nothing better in the future so long as the people of the United Kingdom are excluded from the House of Commons, and more to the same effect. We have a right to expect that all public men should use more discretion than to excite dis cord, and give rise to angry and jealous feelings at a time when the Government is in difficulty with a particular country or place ; and no one who makes political capital out of such a state of things will gain respect or esteem, or deserve to do so either. There is one item in our weekly bills of mortality which must certainly come under the head of deaths from preventive causes, and yet we do not find the number of its victims diminish. We allude to the deaths in the streets of the metropolis, which, on an average, amount to six or seven weekly. The num ber, looked at by itself, is not so very large, though it swells to a considerable aggregate in the course of the year; but the fact of the danger affecting every one who goes about the streets on business or plea eirh e o n l c e e. of plea sure, and th e t err ibl e na t ure o f t h e catas trophes, enhan ce th e f ee li ng o f regret a t th e i r cu Besides, we do not see in these returns the c whole knocked t , he case. There are many persons down, frightened, and injured who do not happily figure in the list of deaths, but who are sufferers to a greater or less degree from the frequency of these accidents. esterday Mr. HUMPHREYS held two inquests at the London Hos pital on the deaths of two persons, one a little child of three years old, the other a middle-aged man. Both these cases may be said to be some what exceptional, from the fact of the ten der age of the child and the infirm health of the other, but the frequency of similar accidents renders them noticeable. Why cannot we have light bridges thrown over the most dangerous cross ings or subways where the traffic is constant and excessive ? This would remove the greater part of the dangers of the streets, and other accidents might be greatly lessened by increased care on the part of drivers, who should be severely punished when anything like recklessness or drunkenness is proved against them. Of course it would be impossible to remove all risks from the streets of such a city as London ; but the greatness of our traffic is no ex cuse for carelessness on such an important matter. Foot passengers themselves are often greatly to blame for their heedlessness, recklessness, and want of self-control ; but it is highly advisable that some change should be made to assist and protect the more reasonable and prudent among them. A long-threatened danger is at last coming very near us, and though it may not be considered very serious by many, it is one which closely affects the health and comfort of the people. Building has actually commenced on Hampstead-heath, and the first house is in course of erection at the flagstaff. This, bad as it is, is not the worst. " Briekmak ing," we are told, "is to be extended over a con siderable portion of the heath, and the rest is to be covered with cottages and huts—in fact, another Agar or Kensal Town is to occupy this splendid site." Allowing for some little exaggeration in this picture, it is sufficiently startling. There is no doubt that the sand is being removed from the Heath in large quantities, and if blicktuaking is provement taking place, and the decided and deter- to be added to this the destruction of the beau mined opposition made to it by the members of the tiful Heath is only a matter of time. Sir TEIOMAS Left does them no credit, and cannot possibly 'be WILSON'S anxiety to make the most of his Inane conducive to their own interests in the long run. rial rights is well known, and has often been Meanwhile it prejudices greatly the cause which combated in both Houses of Parliament; but un they profess to have so much at heart, namely, the fortunately he appears to be gifted with more good of Hungary, and the increase of her power and perseverance than his opponents, and since his last independence. When people take an idea into bill for building on the Finchley-road Estate was their heads, however, it is very difficult, if not thrown out last session he appears determined to altogether impossible, to disabuse them of it, compensate himself for the disappointment by turn or to induce them to adopt a safer or a wiser course. ing the Heath itself to account. One correspondent, whose remonstrance we print in another column, is himself a resident in the neighbourhood ; and he complains that the building now in process occupies a position commanding the most magnificent view ! Sir THOMAS WILSON unfortunately does not trouble himself about such matters, and, perhaps, having been accustomed to the fresh verdure and abundant variety of Hampstead, he cannot rightly appreciate what a boon it is to the weary denizens of the crowded streets, " But to breathe the breath Of the cowslip and primrose sweet; With the sky above the head, And the grass beneath the feet." The destruction or enclosure of Hampstead Heath, if it be but partial, will certainly be a very great loss to Londoners. It gives an opportunity for a plea sant excursion to the thousands for whom the facilities offered by railway and steamboat are useless, who cannot spare time and money to leave their trade or employment. Besides there are many bright and beautiful Saturday and Sunday after noons during the spring and summer months, and how pleasant is the prospect of a walk to the Heath. It is very much the fashion now-a-days to talk about the rights and privileges of the working classes, but here is a privilege which they highly value about to be taken from them, and the right of enjoying the blessings of fresh air and sunshine is to be ren dered almost unattainable. The parks of London are unduubtedly a great boon, but there is some thing about the freedom and openness of a heath or a common for which no artificial ele gance can compensate. We cannot help thinking that there has been great neglect in this matter. What is everybody's business is proverbially no body's business, and the subject has none of those exciting features which would make it attractive to political agitators. Whenever the enclosure of the Heath is talked about there is a general outcry, but though every one protests, nothing is done. With the large and yearly increasing sums that we pay for rates, it seems strange that some action might not have been earlier taken by the local boards. It is still stranger that no Government has been found public-spirited enough to endeavour to effect an arrangement with Sir THOMAS WILSON. It is evident that he only values his rights at their money's worth, therefore he would not be likely to object to their being bought up. We have no rea son to suppose that he would prove extortionate or unreasonable in the matter, and very certainly the money would be well laid out in the interests of the public. It is undoubtedly to be regretted when improvements or alterations necessitate the destruc tion of an artificially constructed park or gar dens, but such can with time and outlay be replaced. Hampstead Heath, once sur rendered to the builder and brickmaker, can never be replaced, and unless some prompt and energetic method of dealing with the matter be arranged, we shall very soon have to deplore its loss, and leave to our successors a few more rows of dull surburban terraces instead of the breezy slopes of the Heath and the Vale of Health. The metro politan members have been very remiss in looking after the interests of their constituents, and we hope that between the Government, the Board of Works, and the House of Commons the question will not be suffered to go by default. body was half-consumed before the melancholy in cident was discovered. According to the German papers the Austrian Cabinet have in view various reforms, financial, judicial, and political. The _Nouvelle Presse Libre; .in referring to them, says : THE POPE. " These reforms will be effected simply upon Ministerial authority by ordonnance. The Ministry contend that as these reforms are solely intended to effect ameliorations in internal matters, and do not alter existing laws or add to expenses, it is not necessary to obtain the Representative sanction." We have most of us heard of that singular traveller who followed Van Amburg all over Europe that he might not fail to witness the evening on which the lions should eat poor Van Amburg, au event of whose certainty he never so much as entertained a doubt. There are in every country and in every class sensation lovingpeople of this sort, and it is strange to see how such persons cling to whatever in any way pertains to a finale. To be in at the fiuish is with them everything. Of course there is a completeness in this that there is no gainsaying, and he who has heard le dernier mot of an adventure has no more to learn from anybody. It is, I am persuaded, this morbid eagerness, and not any cruelty of disposition, that impels men t. be present at executions. There is no hard-heartedness, no pleasurable sense of human suffering, in these people ; they are sim ply the victims of a craving desire for excitement ; their dull temperaments cannot be moved by the light breezes of ordinary pleasures; they want the hurricane force of actual passions to stir them into activity. The lower we go in the social scale the more of this element we shall find. The stories of the Family Herald are famous for their horrors, and there is nothing so in tensely, thoroughly sensational as serYantgalism. Comedy, except in the very broadest farce, is totally banished from every minor theatre of Europe, and none but the most bloody-minded of dramas can find audience with what are called the people. There is, however, a great deal more of this sentiment in the educated and well-to-do ranks than we might at first blush admit. Jestingly treated, laughingly acknow ledged, or veiled by conventionalities, it exists and gives a strong and not very healthy flavour to the whole of our society. To instance what I mean, look at Rome. The word has gone out over Europe that this is to be the last winter of the Papacy- -that over the grand drama of two thousand years the curtain is at last about to fall, and that Pio Nono will make his positively last appearance at the Vatican befsre his i'dgrettient from the boards altogether. This announcement, now made with all the force of a logi cal argument —now dimly shadowed forth in the language of prophecy —now eagerly declared in the words of hope, is widespread over Europe; and the consequence is, the whole world is flocking this winter to the Holy City, all madly eager to witness the great catastrophe —to be "in at the death." There are three questions now which men are asking ou every side : Will the Pope go ? If so, why ? And lastly, where will he go to? The first is the only really important one to the world at large, for, as regards his reasons, or his future destination, they are in reality more interesting to his Holiness personally, or to his immediate followers, than to the rest of Europe. All Italy says he will go ; that the departure of the French troops will leave him no alternative, and that he himself has long prepared for that event. Of course the wish may be father to the thought ; but, samehow, I greatly doubt, if I were myself an Italian, if I could so re gard the question. As we cast our eyes over Europe, we see that each nation has some specialty, which is either a source of material wealth, or of power and prestige. France asserts her military glory ; Germany her race of profound thinkers and scholars ; England has her coal fields ; and Italy has her Popedom. Assail Catholicism as men may ; let them rail at the dogmas of the Church, re vile its superstitions, and ridicule its mock miracles, there is an inherent grandeur in a monarchy of nigh two thou sand years, and which, at various periods within that time, swayed the destinies of all Christendom. That there is no denying. It has often been said that the Italians were the worst Papists of Europe; but still, few expected to see them ac tually forgetful of what gave them their greatest attrac tion in the eyes of the whole Christian world, and endowed them with a prestige of which all the cities of the earth could not produce the equal. As a grand spectacle, what was ever like it ? Where were ever such accessories as that glorious church and that noble palace, as rich iu memories as in art-trea sures ? What train of courtiers could compare with that lino of princes of the Church on whose thoughtful brows were stamped the signs of intellectual vigour, and an am bition that soared far beyond the bounds of ordinary aspi ration ? Around what other throne were ever grouped, not alone the devotion of loyalty and the homage of fidelity, but the deeper homage and the purer faith that link this life with eternity, and impart to the spirit of earthly obedience all the fervour of Christian love and worship ? I maintain that the Pope was the best thing Italy had, and would "draw," while Victor Emmanuel, and even Garibaldi, will play to empty benches. This may not be the very highest ground to take in the matter ; nor am I sure that Cardinal Paul Cullen will accept me as his ally on such showing; but I am looking at the question in a very speculative spirit. Hero is a country with an embar rassed exchequer, a heavy taxation, and undeveloped re sources, which must so continue till capital be forthcom ing to promote them. With a largo public debt, costly en gagements, the funds at fifty-four, and credit nowhere, what are they to do ? They have vast tracts of corn growing land, but no roads to convey the produce ; they have mines, but are without money to work them ; they are, in a word, pretty much in the condition in which the Times lately pictured Ireland, as a country with great natural resources, in which few people would like to risk their capital, and which must be satisfied to be interesting to tourists, without, for the present at least, attracting to it the attention of traders and merchants. Rich in monu ments, abounding in treasures of art, and stored with ob jects of interest on every side, Italy has no rival in the world as a great gallery of curiosities, amongst which there was no gem could compare with the Pope. He was the Koh-i-uoor of the collection, and I cannot conceive for an instant how Italians could have overlooked the fact. Bear in mind, it was not alone to the true believers that his Holiness extended the attraction of his presence. The people who sought admission to the Vatican were often stern platform men of Exeter Hall. There came to his audience Calvinists from the North, and Quakers from Philadelphia. All that was rugged and self-asserting in Protestantism desired the blessing of him they were ready to call antichrist. Bishops of the Establishment bent reve rently before him ; and in the very newspaper under my eyes I see that the historian of Poerio has been paying his court to infallibility. Among the marvels in preparation for the great Exhibition is a wood-cutting machine, which is already at work in one of the manufactories of Paris. Eight cutting instruments will make 3,000 evolutions in a minute, and thus 24,000 pieces of wood or furniture may be cut in that period of time. One of the last remnants of the siege of Toulon, M. Bouncard, has just died at Privas, aged 96 years. The eminent Belgian violin player, Servais, died a day or two ago at his chateau near Hal, Belgium. The weather has been magnificently bright and beautiful to-day, but of course cold, as there was a sharp frost and some fog in the early part of the morning. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMI) THE CANDIAN INSURRECTION. Cornelius O'Dowd—that is, Charles Lever—has the following remarkable paper apropos to " the situation" just now in the Eternal City—in the newly published December number of Blackw•ood's Magazine:— - CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 21 (via Marseilles) Advices received here from Candia state that resistance still continued to be offered by a portion of the insurgents. It is believed that Aala Pacha, Minister for Foreign Affair; will shortly be re- placed. Cholera having ceased, cicala bills of health are granted to vessels sailing from Constantinople. Why surrender all this, I say ? Will Garibaldi or Mazzinists, think you, be more picturesque features in the landscape than these gorgeous groupings ? or will the grand monuments of Catholicism evoke the wonderment and worship of Europe when their living centre has left them, and the spirit that animated the whole departed ? There is nothing which so sternly arraigns the cruelty of annexations as the sight of the empty palace where royalty once dwelt. How will it be here when it is not merely the prince has departed, but where it will be the shrine without the saint, the throne without him whose breath gave hope and comfort to many, and blessing to all ? Remove the Pope from Rome, and you take away the great cicerone who made the joys of eternity intelli gible to millions. And do not imagine he can ever be as effective in exile at Avignon, or Seville, or Malta; he will ever need the grand scenic illustrations of the Eternal City. The noble vault of St. Peter's, half-dimmed with incense, the Sistine Chapel, vibrating with seraphic music, were splendid adjuncts to the voice of him who sang out per orbes et terras, his peace to mankind. Italians are intensely sensitive to all external impressions; and how is it that they have overlooked all this ? Nor is it as if the Papacy was to cost them dear; they are not going to pay it either in liberty or in power. The Pope can no more menace them with Austrians nor crush them with concordats. Even his bulls are tamed. The question resolves itself into this, Can Italy, with an empty treasury and an over-taxed people, not only divest herself of one of the greatest attractions of the nation, but assume all the liabilities of the Papacy ? Speaking com mercially, Venice may pay, but there is a great doubt if Rome will. The contributions of true believers went largely in aid of the budget ; and he would be a sanguine man that thought Peter's pence would drop as freely into Victor Emmanuel's hat as into the Pope's tiara. For the whole complex machinery of Romo there is but one machinist in all Christendom--the Pope. To convert this ecclesiastical hive into a modern capital is an anachronism and a political blunder. It is like turning a cathedral into a cotton-mill. The Popedotu was the great specialty of Italy. It was the one thing no other country could rival. I am not going to break a lance with Exeter Hall. lam not assuming to . _ _ even advert to the doctrines of the Church ; I am alone speaking of that marvellous rule which was felt in the most remote parts of the universe, and which had its centre at Rome. Call it superstition, idolatry, Antichrist, what you will—there it was, and there it drew hundreds of thou- sands to do it homage. If I were Baron Ricasoli, I would do anything rather than drive the Pope out of Italy. It would not be very easy to convert him to liberal ideas, all the less so that ho got a surfeit of them in '4B, and has never recovered frcm it since. If I were an Italian Minister, I would strain any point to make the French call a " transaction" with him. Surely if what they style the Leonine City was secnrAd to him, and a wide liberty as regards allocutions, something might be done. T hero are plenty of schismatics to be cursed out of Italy ; let him have his will of them. Russia is likely to torment the Poles for many a day to come, and there are eighty odd millions to be anathematised —a banquet of malediction that might satisfy even gluttony. With clever management, the whole policy of Italy could be made to revolve round the Popedoin and never surron- der ono valuable privilege of liberty or sacrifice an item of freedom for the alliance. When Italy turns from questions of foreign war and foreign aggression, and addresses her self to the hard task of international organisation, she will have groat need of the Pope. With those rude and un- civilised populations of Sicily and Calabria, a whisper from the Vatican will do more than the clank of a hun- drecl battalions, You want the priest, and bear in mind that he is of no value to you when he has conformed to your views and adopted your opinions. You want him in all his ignorance and bigotry ; you want him full of all the prejudices of his caste. It is then that he sways the masses. It is then that he is a power and a force. It will tie many a long day before the enlightenment of free institutions shall penetrate through the darkness of the barbarism of lower Italy. It is not in one or even in two generations that free speech or free thought, trial by jury, or liberty of the press, will appeal to these wild dis ciples of the stiletto and the knife. The one link that ties them to any semblance of civilisation is the Church : take care how you relax this. Woe to you if you break it asunder before you have found a safe and trustworthy substitute for it ! I am not blind to the difficulties of treating with Ito manism, and I know what a hopeless task it is to approach by " reason" those who meetyou only with a "conscience ;" but, I repeat, Pio Nono is better than Mazzini, and the choice is between them. Sir George Bowyer, in a letter to the Times, dated Radley Park, Abingdon, November 27th, says : I see in the Times to-day these words :—" The curses of the Pope will b© revoked." Allow me respectfully to in form you that this statement is founded on a common CORRESPONDENCE PROR PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. The weekly analysis of the evening Moniteur con tains the following remarks upon the views and in tentions of Austria : " Since the termination of the war the Ministers of the Emperor Francis Joseph have been energeti cally at work to ameliorate the social position of Austria. The promise of the revision of the treaties of commerce in vigour with the Zollverein and Italy has been fulfilled by the acts signed at Prague and at Vienna, and it was formerly stipulated that the ancient clauses should only have a temporary opera tion. Au understanding arranged with England laid down the principle that the duties levied upon British produce should not exceed 25 per cent. of their value. The French Commissioners are pre paring to meet in a few days the Ambassador of the Emperor at Vienna, where the negotiations which were commenced at Paris last month will be pro ceeded with for the arrangement of a treaty of com merce and navigation. " Thus everything is in preparation with a view to a change in the system which regulates the trade of Austria with the principal countries of produc tion and consumption in Europe. Already on the Bth of November the Charge d'Affaires of Austria at Berlin was requested to ask officially for a dis cussion, having for object to substitute for the Customs' Convention signed at Prague in the month of April, 1865, a treaty more in harmony with the new doctrines of political economy to which Baron de Beust, the President of the Council of Ministers of Saxony, gave his adherence without reserve at the time of the negotiations between the Zollverein and France. " The Italian Government, which had concluded a treaty of commerce with Japan, entered into ano ther with China on the 26th of October last. The relations which Exist between the various Powers of Europe and the countries of the extreme East be come more developed, and the increase of commer cial interests overcome every-day prejudice and routine." In Paris unusual anxiety is manifested relative to the news expected to be brought to Southampton to-day from Mexico. The Siecle says :—" People persist in thinking that the destinies of the Mexican empire have been arranged by the French and American Govern ao ments. It is e ven sa id t h at the Un i ted States have arranged with th e F renc h cre di tors. " The fu tookneral place of ee M withn si pompr ay y , and late of Algiers, The chief mourner was M • P avy, Vicar General of Constantine, the brother of the deceased. The whole population of Algiers, no matter of what • re igious denomination, are said to have repaired to the cemetery. General de Ladmirault, the interim Governor of Algiers, and the authorities and clergy formed part of the procession, which was headed by the gendarmerie. The troops were attended by their bands. M. Sarlande, Mayor of Algiers, pro nounced a funeral oration, in which he alluded to the virtues of the deceased, and said that his death was regretted by the whole population of Algiers. An arena is in course of construction at the Great Exhibition which will contain 15,000 spectators, for the representation of mimic bull fights, that is to say, no blood will be shed. There will be golden balls upon the horns of the animals, so that they cannot wound, and other weapons of the bull fighters will have a button on the point. The ceremony and costumes will be the same as at a bull-fight in Spain, and the only difference will be that the cruel spectacle of horses trailing their entrails, and bulls covered with blood and writhing in agony, will be avoided. An accident of a peculiar frightful character has taken place on the Boulevard Malesherbes. The highway being under repair a workman was on the trench at night to watch the light. His wife, an old woman, came to bring his supper, but in descending she fell headforenioet into a burning cauldron. The PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Nov. 30 Her von der Heydt is much better.

This Republic has bravely defended itself against the force of three Powers, viz., Brazil, the Argentine Confederation, and Paraguay, whose united efforts, and with an aggregate of twelve millions, have been unable to subdue Paraguay, with barely one million and a half. Marshal Lopez has, nevertheless, brought more men into the field than the Allies altogether. The disasters suffered by the triple alliance at Curuza and Curupaity have caused demoralisation in the army, and the Cabinet at Rio has recalled its various commanders at the seat of war. The great guerilla chief, General Fiore, President of Uruguay, has retired to his capital, Montevideo, 900 miles from the seat of war, where his strength was becoming insecure through his protracted absence. The Brazilian fleet is still maintaining masterly inactivity at a respect able distance from the Paraguayan guns ; and General Mitre, the President of the Argentine Confederation, a bravo soldier and great statesman, has been forced to retire, not having the necessary men and means to carry on the war alone. The navy, entirely Brazilian and inef fective, though the ships are the finest Imperial gold and European skill have been able to produce. Through these misfortunes peace at an early date is considered cer tain, and all branches of commerce will then improve, par ticularly in the River Plate, whore hostilities have always been and are still fomented through Brazilian intrigues, all for the acquirement of small slices of territory, which may seem incomprehensible. Brazil, a large tract of land with a limited population, its area is 3} millions square miles, with a population under 7 millions inhabitants, and of these 5 millions are slaves. Several of the South American republics, Bolivia, Peru, etc., have protested against this war, in which they all see their future jeopardised if Brazil should get the upper hand ; but this is little to be feared, as Brazil is already at variance with her allies, and the com binations on both sides of the Plate is considered virtually at an end. This was to have been foreseen, and eventually out of this alliance, so unnatural to the different forms of Government, great difficulties must yet arise, especially to Uruguay, in defence of whose rights this war was commenced. Brazil has always shown a peculiar penchant for the territory of Uruguay, adjoining her pro vinces of Rio Grande, in which can produced all the ne cessaries of life. Should Brazil prove victorious in this struggle it would not, as many suppose, cause a cessation of war in South America; quite the contrary. It would bring on the never-ending question of boundaries with her neighbours, and even with those who are now, though unnaturally, her allies, and cause a renewal of hostilities, as every inch of territory acquired by„Brazil is an aggres sion in the eyes of all the South American Republics. It is most strange that no serious mediation or intervention has taken place on the part of the European Powers. But by the last accounts it seems that the United States Government has authorised its Minister, Gen. Ashboth, to protest against the blockade maintained by the Brazilian fleet of the river La Plate, which will probably cause further difficulties and be a matter for the serious consideration of those well versed in the success of International law. Sanguine hopes are entertained that the next steamer from Brazil will bring tidings of amicable arrangements by the belli gerents, and such is to be most sincerely hoped for by all parties concerned ; but we are sorry to say that yesterday's telegram not only fails to bring the long-expected peace news, but, on the contrary, a fresh feature and complica tion, owing to Bolivia having marched a large army into Jejuy, an Argentine province, to help her wronged sister Republic, and the Paraguayans have followed up this struggle with their well-known bravery to bombard the camp of the Allies. The officers of the fleet aro busily engaged repairing the damage received at Curupaity, so as to assist the land forces, which remain in a state of perfect inactivity. The mails are expected to give a detailed account of the last fortnight's fighting in the river Plate. THE MURDER AT BIRMINGIIAm.—John Wallace Hampton, aged 39, jeweller, who murdered his wife Catha rine Kerranapack Hampton, in Nursery-terrace, Finch street, Birmingham, died yesterday morning, shortly after three o'clock, in the General Hospital, from the effects of the gun-shot wound in his side, which ho inflicted upon himself. Previous to his death Hampton was quite con scious, and died with the belief that his wife was in hewn, and' that ho W 9,0 going thou also, error. Th• Pope blesses, but his Holiness never curses any one. Excommunication is an ecclesiastical censure, but not a curse ; and "anathema" is simply a name of the greater ex communication. It is thus defined by the canonists— "Ex communicatio est a communions exclusio." As for the Vegezzi mission, believing M. Vegezzi to be an honest and well-meaning man, I think sonic good might come of it if the secret societies and the other evil influences which surround the Court of Florence could be and are controlled. It was they who defeated the former mission of the same person. I know nothing of this second attempt except what I see in the newspapers; but I am convinced that Vegezzi will not be permitted to tell the Pope that he should cease to be a King. To entertain such a proposal would be practically destructive of the spirit and intention of the treaty of September, 1864, which (as it has been re peatedly declared by the Government of the Emperor Napoleon) involves the bond fide renunciation of Itome by the Government of Viotor Emmanuel. But we are now told that there is to be a plebiscite at Rome. What does this mean? The examples of Nice and Savoy show how delusive and fraudulent plebiscites are. But in the present instance it seems that it is coolly proposed to dethrone a Sovereign in full possession of his throne, and to annex his States to a neighbouring country by the operation of illegal and clandestine voting under the direction of a secret committee of conspirators. And that committee would, of course, have the power to manu facture as many votes as they pleased. This is, indeed, carrying the doctrine of plebiscites to an extreme hitherto never attempted. Apply the same principle in Ireland. Suppose a plebiscite in.that country proclaiming an Irish republic connected with the United States. If the Roman plebiscite be valid, the Irish plebiscite would be equally so; and it is no answer to say that an army from England would put it down. You call on the Pope to submit to be dethroned by the votes of the disaffected portion of his subjects. Are you prepared to give the same advice to the Queen regarding Ireland and India ? Surely, the doctrine and practice of plebiscites have already been carried far enough ? Thus much for the theory of this question. As for the practical result of the present state of thing, I cannot be lieve that the Emperor will so far violate his duty as the eldest son of the Church, and his obligations under the September treaty, and the feelings and convictions of the French nation, as to permit any one to overthrow the temporal sovereignty of the Vicar of Christ. Naval and Military Intelligence. The Magnet gunboat, 60-horse power, formerly tender to the Pembroke at Harwich, which has been for some time undergoing repairs in Sheerness dock yard, was, according to orders, prepared for sea, and started last night for Ireland, with men and ammu- nition. The Earnest gunboat ; 60-horsepower, has arrived at Sheerness from Portsmouth, and bad her crew turned over to the Magnet to navigate that vessel to Ireland. The Lizard, iron paddlewheel vessel, 340 tons, 150-horse power, Lieut. in command Stanhope G. Price, which has been acting as tender to the For midable flagship at Sheerness, has been ordered for service to Ireland. The Helicon, 2, paddle despatch vessel, Com mander E. Field, sailed from Portsmouth for Queenstown, Ireland, at 8 a.m. yesterday. The screw steam frigate Liffey was towed yester day from the dockyard at Devouport to the steam yard at Keyham, where she is to be prepared for the first division of the steam reserve in Hamoaze. The paddlewheel steam stareship Dee was placed yesterday in the steam-yard at Keyham to discharge engine gear for the sloop Daphne. Her Majesty's paddlewheel vessel Medusa, Com mander Thomas Potter, went up to Woolwich Ar senal yesterday from Sheerness, and embarked a detachment of Royal Marine Light infantry, in command of Captain Harris, for special service in Ireland. The detachment consisted of, in addition to Captain Harris, Lieuts. l Gore and Emra, 4 ser geants, 4 corporals, 1 drummer and bugler, and 88 privates—total, 100. They are to join the 72-gun Coastguard service ship Royal George, at Kings town, as supernumeraries, to be called out in case of emergency. The Medusa also embarked at Wool wich about 20 tons of ammunition and 5,000 stand of the new Snider breech-loading rifles, for distri bution to the troops in Ireland. She will take her departure from Woolwich by the 7 o'clock til3 this morning. B fore the embarkation of the troops on the previous evening after nightfall one of the col lier screw vessels, the Countess of Durham, Mr. Waddington master, during the dense fog, mistook the light at the T pier at Woolwich, and ran foul of the gangway, or platform. The gaspipes of the pier, the tramways, and other ponderous iron fit tings, ballusters, newly-erected awning, &c., as well as one of the lamp-posts, were completely carried away, and the tier was scarcely ava il a bl e f or the embarkation. It is stated that the expense of making good the injury will fall on the pilot. The 52d Regiment, under the command of Lieut.- Col. Peel, consisting of 20 officers, 47 sergeants, 21 drummers, 603 rank and file, 76 women, 75 children, and seven officers' chargers, arrived at Portsmouth dockyard yesterday by special train from Aldershot, and embarked on board her Majesty's troop-ship Orontes, Capt. H. W. Hire, for conveyance to Queenstown, Ireland. The sailing of the Oronce s was deferred from yesterday until this morning owing to a heavy fog which hung over the harbour and the bar in the entrance channel during avail able tide time. The Pallas, 6, armoured sloop, Captain M. Con nolly, is at present engaged in patrol duty off the coast of Ireland. The Vixen, armoured twin screw gunboat, Commander S. P. Brett, is also on her way to the Irish coast, to strengthen further the small squadron of vessels already on duty there. The Hector, iron frigate, Capt. R. Luard, is com pleting her refit at Portsmouth as rapidly as possible to join the Irish coast squadron if necessary, and the Research, Wivern, and other vessels arc also immediately available for the same purpose. The iron frigate Bellerophon will most probably not be complete in her armament and refit and again ready for sea before the latter end of February, but as she possesses a fine and well-drilled crew, the ship could be left in the hands of the dockyard authorities to complete, while her officers and men could join the Irish coast flotilla in a couple of gunboats, such as the Netley and I rinculo, now rigged, stored, and armed at Portsmouth, in readiness for commission ; or do shore service, either as artillery or riflemen, wherever their presence might be found desirable. In addition to their qualifications as artillerymen, the seamen and marines of the Bellerophon turn out four strong and exceedingly smart companies of riflemen, with the usual accompaniment of light field artillery. The whole of the troops in garrison at Woolwich otherwise unemployed yesterday paraded at nine o'clock a.m. and proceeded to Bostol-heath for the purpose of going through a field day's manceuvrcs under the direction of Major-General E. C. Warde, commandant of the district. 'llie field-day is an nounced to be repeated fr;:quently during the win ter, the weather permitting. It is said that Lieut. A. F. Pickard, V.C., B bri gade, Royal Horse Artillery, now at Shoeburyness, has been appointed to attend his Royal Highness Prince Arthur during the course of studies on which he is about to enter at the Royal Military Aca demy at Woolwich. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty : Lieut. W. Thresher to the St. George ; Dr. Prince Mansfield, surgeon, to the Racoon ; and J.
