On Friday Mr. GLADSTONE had a glorious opportu nity before him, and he certainly made the most of it. Those who were fortunate enough to hear the valedictory address are not likely soon to forget it. The right hon. gentleman appeared in a distinct character from that of the Statesman or Minister, and shone forth conspicuously, as he well might, as the polished orator, the accomplished scholar, and the brilliant man of letters. The theme of his dis course was " The Place of Ancient Greece in the Providential History of the World," which was a very appropriate one, and one also to which the orator was peculiarly fitted to do justice from his tastes and studies. He commenced by remarkin g that no one could doubt that the people who inhabited that " little cluster of rugged mountains and of narrow vales played a great part upon the stage of history, and left an inde lible mark upon the character of the human race," and also, it is certain, that Christian Europe has a ssigned to Greece the largest share in the culti vation of the human mind. This doubtful and disquisitional age, however, has presumed to ques tion the utility of this devotion to classic studies. Mr. GLADSTONE endeavoured to point out the fal lacy of those persons who inferred, if they did not exactly declare it, that the Providential care of the ALMIGHTY had been confined in narrow limits of old to the valley of Jerusalem, and in modern times to the Christian pale, and, according to some, not to all within that circle. Now, exclaims the right hon. gentleman, in earnest and emphatic terms, surely it would be a paradox to deny that "He who cared for the six score thousand persons in ancient Nineveh, who could not distinguish between their right and their left; Ile without whom not a sparrow can fall ; He that shapes in its minutest detail, even the inani mate world, and clothes the lily of the field with its beauty and its grace, lie never forgot those sheep of His in the wilderness." Those who carefully follow out the discourse of M r. GLADSTONE, and dwell upon his characteristic definitions and elaborate descriptions, can hardly fail to realise his meaning, and to recognise the truth of the opinion that he asserts, and concur in the notion that an important pa r t i n what we call the providential history of the world was given to a race of such unrivalled gifts in the great plan for the " rearing and training of the human children of our FATHER in Heaven." The superiority of this race is shown by some of the peculiarities which distinguished it, and which spring more from innate qualities than from trained intelligence. A profound reverence for human, life and human nature is conspicuous at a very rem ote period of their history. Hence we find, as here stated, " the highest refinements of the mannias of the gentleman existing at a time when among the Greeks the material appliances of civilisation were in their infancy, and when writing and the alphabet were practically unknown." The sentiment of honour was the prevailing one in those times, and it is impossible to over-estimate or exaggerate its effects on the minds of those who entertain it in a high degree or to a great extent. It is curious to observe that human sacrifice does not appear in the pages of HomER, and did not belong to the original usages of Greece ; it seems to have come in at last by contagion from abroad, and not to have been identical with the dispositions of the people. All the most famous portions of their literature testify to the abhorrence in which this barbarous practice was held among them. The Greeks were also most distinguished for the care they took in preserving their bodies from insult, and this is evidenced in many ways. PRIA3I'S horror was great at the idea of his body being torn by dogs, and many others shared his horror of exposure and injury. The beauty of the human face was highly reverenced in Greece, but caricatures were almost unknown there. Mr. GLADSTONE considers that the " anthropo morphic spirit of the Greek religion was the source of that excellence in art which has become to after ages a model for imitation, and a tribunal without appeal," and no doubt he is perfectly right in his theory. This poetical and refined religion of theirs exalted their conceptions and softened their tastes, and was most favourable to art. It is difficult to find a more interesting study than that of the Greek artist, surrounded by all that is beauti ful, and ever seeking to excel his pre vious efforts. So much skill and such rare opportunities could not have been bestowed in vain; they were intended to work out a purpose and to fulfil a mission, and the best proof of their impor tance is, that the generations which have succeeded to the ancient Greeks have not attained to their par ticular point of excellence in art,while their achieve ments do not enhance the mind or charm the taste like the doings of those in the days of old. The purport of this discourse is to show that the Greek life was for a purpose beyond itself and the intellectual pioneer of Christian civilisation —in other words, that while Christianity has been the salt of the earth, we must not forget the things which were worthy of preservation, and which the Christian religion enables us more the fully to en joy and to appreciate, turning talent to its right use, and making genius conduce to the glory of its Giver more than to the fame of any individual. The most touching history of old cannot be found in the pages of the classics, and Mr. GLADSTONE has forcibly displayed the difference that exists be tween the things that relate to the glories of this world and those which appertain to the better things, which are eternal. " All the wonders of the Greek civilisation heaped together are less won derful than is the single work of the Psalms." And further on he shows the contrast between hu man excellence and divine influence. " Palestine had no share in the glories of our race ; they blaze on every page of the history of Greece with an overpowering splendour. Greece had valour, policy, renown, genius, wisdom, wit ; she had all, in a word, that this world could give her ; but the flowers of Paradise, which bloom thinly, blossomed in Paradise alone." The difficulty then, it would seem, in studying this subject of the attainments of the ancient Greeks lies in the fact that we must accord enough, and not too much importance to their meaning and influence. They are important parts in the grand system of development and progress by which the human race is destined to approach as near as may be to the standard of perfection. " Tracing the footmarks of the Most High in the seemingly bewildered paths of human history," we shall find, as is here eloquently expressed, " every where, before and behind us and above us and be neath, the Power which " Lives through all life, extends through all extent, Spreads undivided, operates unspent.' " So comprehensive a subject as this which Mr. GLADSTONE has selected for the theme of his part ing address is sure to find many critics, but no fault can be found with the general argument, whatever controversy may exist as to matter of detail, and not only as a splendid exhibition of learn ing and a grand illustration of research may this discourse be commended to the attention of the student and the philosopher. It is useful as well as ornamental, and contains suggestions that are alike interesting and important; there reasoning is blended with the principles of true religion, and we may follow the cause of the inquiry, content to believe that it will arrive at a conclusion in which all Chris tians may concur as to the boundless wisdom of the Divine influence on human actions, to which the sublime and beautiful are ministers. President JOHNSON'S opinions on the reconstruc tion of the Southern States have been very fully expressed in a conversation with Mr. GEORGE STEA RNS, which that gentleman has since published. Mr. JOHNSON'S views are, as might have been ex pected, liberal and enlightened, while they are totally devoid of that exaggeration and ferocity which mark the theories of the extreme partisans of either side. It must be borne in mind, in reading Mr. Jo HNSON'S observations on the position of the negro in the Southern States, that ho himself is a Southern man, that he has been intimately acquainted with the tone of feeling both of the negro and his master, that he has seen the working of the system in full action, and that he really knows what he is talking about--a knowledge by no means insepar able from political declamation. Mr. JOHNSON, in discussing the vexed question of negro suffrage, unhesitatingly declared that it would not do to give the negro universal suffrage at the present moment, for that such an arrangement would occasion a war of races. Seven years ago, he said, such a thing could not have been mentioned in the North itself, and the changes in the South have been far more rapid and violent than those in the North. The Southerners have been obliged, in Mr. JOHNSON'S words, to accept more unpalatable truths than their neighbours, and it is only fair to g ive them time to reconcile themselves to the changes forced upon them, and to understand their new position. This is the only way in which the predominant authority can hope to see its dictates fairly accepted by the Southern people, and the theories which it so strenuously upholds be come really incorporated with the feelings of the nation. Those abolitionists who look upon the negroes as an oppressed nation, and expect that in giving them freedom they will at once know how to deal with it like the Italians or the Poles, may learn some startling truths from. Mr. JOHNSON'S observations, remembering that he has been himself formerly a slaveholder "in practice, though not in principle," as well as Governor of a Southern State, and inti mately acquainted with the whole working of the Southern system. Mr. JOIINSON declares that for merly the antagonism in the slaveholding States was between the non-slaveholding whites and the negro, and that the outrages now committed are mostly between these two hostile parties. There was a time in the Southern States, he tells us, when the slaves of large owners looked down ui on non-slave rHE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 6, 1865. owners, and the larger the number of slaves which their master owned the prouder they were. Before we condemn the negro too severely for such feelings, we must remember that they are the natural fruit not of the temporary subjugation of an educated people, but of long centuries of degradation of an ignorant and inferior race. If even political sub jection is invariably followed by evil traces of its effects on the heart and mind and conscience of a people, how much more may we expect to find lowering and degrading consequences result from individual oppression, enforced ignorance, and ser vile treatment. The majority in the Northern States look upon the negro with contempt and dislike, and when we recall the aversion formerly expressed to the presence of a negro in a car or at an hotel table, we shall feel that it ill becomes the North to be tco severe on the Southern people because they are un willing at once to admit their former slaves to full and free political equality. There seems at least no reluctance to accept the doctrine of unqualified abolition, and this is really the great question, though Mr. WENDELL PHILLIPS and his associates seem anxious to divert attention from this great practical and enduring gain to a matter which is in reality quite extraneous. Mr. JonnoN is in favour of a gradual introduction of the negro suffrage. Ho observed to Mr. STEARNS that if he were still in Tennessee, that is to say, if he had not assumed the grave responsibility of legislating for the nation, he would begin by ad mitting those who had served in the army, then those who could read and write, and then those with a property qualification of 200 or 250 dol lars. There is no doubt that the negro insurrec tion in Jamaica, of which we have as yet received no particulars, will operate unfavourably on the political prospects of their countrymen in the States. Moderate men will be less inclined to re move all restraints from the blacks when they hear of such an outbreak, and they will be still more inclined to adopt the policy, which is in fact the only safe one, of gradual progress. As for the idea of direct interference in the matter Mr. JOHN sox very justly says, that " If I interfered with the vote in the rebel States to dictate that the negro shall vote, I might do the same thing for my own purposes in Pennsylvania." This is a fact which extremists of all parties are very apt to forget, and which the New England politicians certainly do not take the trouble to remember. They would gladly see forced on the Southern States measures which are completely hostile to their feelings and customs, but they would be very unwilling to admit.the right of the central authority to dictate to themselves. The principle on which they would act towards:the South is, in fact, one of centralisation, which is entirely opposed to popular right and to the doctrine of self-government, and is, in fact, the friend and ally of despotism. The Southern States, Mr. JOHNSON says plainly, must be left to legislate for themselves. The North has the power to restrain and control them if necessary, but it must be re membered that the reconstruction of the States and the pacification of the country cannot be carried out hastily. Matters must be left to time to work out gradually, and in the meanwhile there is good rea son to hope that tolerance and respect for civil law will be the order of the day at Washington. In conjunction with the report of the con versation between the PRESIDENT and Mr. STEARNS, we have a speech delivered by Mr. SEWARD at Auburn. There is nothing very new in the Secre tary of State's address, but it is chiefly remarkable for a full acceptance of Mr. JOHNSON'S policy, for which, however, Mr. JOHNSON does not get the credit. Mr. SEWARD plainly implies that it was the policy of the former administration, that is to say, of himself and President LINCOLN. " All speak of it," he says, " as if it were a new and recent development." On the contrary, we now see that it is not ANDREW JOHNSON'S plan specially, nor even a new plan in any respect. It is the plan which abruptly yet distinctly offered itself to the last Ad ministration at the moment when the work of resto- ration was to begin ; at the moment when, although unperceived by the world, it did begin, and it is the only plan which thus seasonably presented itself ; and therefore is the only possible plan which then or ever afterward could be adopted." This is corn- prehensive certainly, but, at any rate, Mr. SEWARD, not hitherto so friendly to the South, unhesitatingly accepts the reconstruction system being possibly influenced by its success. It is always easier and pleasanter to pronounce an opinion on a plan after it has been tried than before, but Mr. SEWARD takes credit for having had this very plan in his mind, when he once said that he thought by mingled persuasion and pressure the States might be made to return to their allegiance. This, he says, was the explanation given by Mr, ADAMS to Lord PALMERSTON, when that sagacious Minister observed, with his accustomed shrewdness, in reference to the restoration of the Union, that any man might lead the horse to the water, but no man could make him drink. Mr. JOHNSON has found the secret of persuading him to drink, and the great art consists in leaving him alone to follow his own natural way. The reconstruction system is based upon the principles of that Constitution which all Americans cherish, which the Confederates wished to establish for themselves, the same in principle, though with a Southern centre instead of a Northern one, It recognises the doctrine of State rights, and espe cially it restores the supremacy of civil government to a people exhausted and wearied by a prolonged military. despotism. Being thus founded ou a solid and enduring basis, there is hope that, in spite of all temporary drawbacks and local difficulties, it may succeed in restoring to the people that peace and prosperity which have been so long absent from them ; and, as Mr. SEWARD observed, turbulence and faction in the South, and doubt, distrust, or defiance in the North, are alike opposed to the spirit of that work of reconciliation and restoration which every true patriot, whether of North or South, now feels to be the only thing sought for by his country. LORD PALMERSTON AT COLLEGE.—Authentic re miniscences of his university days are rare and scanty ; but those who knew his contemporaries at St. John's say that, as an undergraduate, he passed for a man of considerable ability, though it was never augured by his most sanguine friends that he would rise, like Pitt or Can ning, to the highest posts. He was lively, high-spirited, and as full of fun as a schoolboy, and no bad hand with his fists, as many a "bargee" on the banks of the Cam, long since passed away, could have testified. His tutor at St. John's, it should be added, was Dr. Wood, afterwards head of that college and Dean of Ely ; and it should be men tioned to Lord Palmerston's credit that, although he did not seek University honours, he showed such mathematical powers, that, in spite of his not being a reading man, ho took a high place in the college examinations. In after life, when he went down from time to time to Cambridge, as member for the university, ho was remarkable for his good humour, tact, and kindness, and entire freedom from all affectation, humbug, and pomposity ; but even then n a gor jokec e t r han the none of his frie n d s d reamed that ho would ever make good running in the od a f o premiershipotherw ise for ;and d he it Combination was thought rather Room of his college, when one of the follows, returning from town, .during a parliamentary crisis some 35 years ago, brought it down as a piece of club news, that there was to become Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.—Once a Week.

ENTHRONISATION OF ARCHBISHOP MANNING-THIS DAY. The solemn reception and enthronisation of his Grace the Archbishop Manning took place this morning, at the Roman Catholic pro-Cathedral at Moorfields, with the greatest splendour. The interior of the church presented an appear ance of unusual grandeur, as, in addition to the brilliant decorations, the ten Corinthian columns supporting the roof were entwined and connected by festoons of laurel, and the six pillars of the great altar were draped in crimson and wreathed with white roses. The throne of his Grace was placed on the Gospel side of the sanctuary, and the canopy that rose over it was formed of crimson velvet, richly embroidered with the arms of his Grace and deep gold fringe. Six large and massively-ornamented can dlesticks were placed in the sanctuary, and the altar was richly adorned with a profusion of wax lights in silver candlesticks, white lilies and laurel being used for decorative purposes with the most beautiful effect. The side altars of St. Joseph and Our Lady were also decorated with white flowers and wax lights. Between the congregation and the sanc tuary seats were reserved for the clergy, who attended in great numbers, nearly every priest in thediocese being present. The Fathers of the white robed Dominicans were represented, so also were the Augustinians, the Carmelites, the Jesuits, the Fathers of Charity, the Fathers Oblate of St. Charles Borromeo, and other religious orders. Lady Londonderry, Lady Herbert of Lea, Le Marquese de Molines, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to H. M. C. Majesty ; Monsignor Howard, Domestic Chaplain to the Pope, and the Rev. Dr. Anderdon, late of the Catholic University of Dublin, were also present. Shortly after eleven the whole of the clergy in the cathedral proceeded in procession to the principal entrance to the edifice. Then afterwards, ranging themselves in line on either side of the nave—the entire length of the cathedral—his Grace entered, and, preceded by the cross-bearer, Canons Oakley, Searle, Hearn, Hunt, the provost of the diocese, Last, and Morris, wearing the pallium, with a vest ment of archiepiscopal dignity, of white ermine and violet silk, which his Grace had during his stay in Rome placed on his shoulders by the Pope at a Consistory held in the Eternal City in presence of a large number of the dignitaries of the Church. His Grace was conducted to his throne, on either side of which Canon Hunt and Canon Last, in full canonicals, took up their posi tions, and immediately afterwards the solemn and splendid tones of the organ gave intimation of the commencement of the service by pealing forth the magnificent Sancte Spiritus, which, sung by the great body of the clergy and congregation, produced a grand and solemn effect. During this his grace was robed with a magnificent vestment of white satin, ornamented in the richest manner with em broidery in gold and precious stones. The mitre was placed on the Archbishop's head by Canon Hunt. His Grace, after retaining his seat for some time, then, supported by the attendant clergy, advanced to the front of the great altar, where he made his obeisance. Resuming his seat on the throne, Canon Oakley /then celebrated High Mass. The Kyrie Eleison, Gloria in Excelsis, and the Credo were majestically sung, and then followed the Sancta Maria, by Novello, during which the ceremony of solemnly incensing the Archbishop was performed. His Grace then left the throne during the sing ing of the Sanctus, and kneeling in front of the altar remained in that position during the consecra tion. Then broke forth the swelling tones of the Benedictus, and Agnus Dei, which, as it pealed through the cathedral, produced an effect of the utmost grandeur and sublimity. The Mass having concluded the "Te Deum Laudamus" was sung, the Archbishop standing at the throne, the officiating priests, in their gold vestments, occupying their positions in the front of the high altar, and the whole of the congregation standing. The singing of the " Te Deum" concluded the religious portion of the assembly and the Canons advanced to the foot of the throne and presented the following address to his Grace : My Lord Archbishop,—The Provost and Canons of the Metropolitan Chapter desire to offer to your Grace these few words of affectionate greeting, on the occasion of your Grace's return from Rome. They learn with pleasure and gratitude that your Grace has received at the hands of the Holy Father the symbol of archiepiscopal jurisdiction, and they find reason, in this auspicious fact, for renewing the expression of devoted attachment with which it was their privilege to welcome your Grace on the occa sion of your consecration to the episcopal office. The brief interval that has elapsed has abundantly drawn forth, on the one hand, those assurances of loyalty and confidence on the part of the whole body of the clergy of the diocese which your ap pointment might have been expected to produce, and on your Grace's part those proofs of sympathy and kindness which have so fully justified the anti cipations on which those expressions N$ ere founded. But this interval has also been marked by an event on which we are assured of your Grace's condolence with the Chapter. One who was with us when we congratulated your Grace on the,,. day of your consecration, is not with us when we wel- come you in this plenitudo of your dignity. The voice which then addressed you in accents of heart felt affection is now stilled in death. More than once, during the last illness of our dear brother, that voice was raised in grateful acknowledgment of your Grace's personal kindness to him in the season of his tribulation, and is now, as we humbly trust, pleading with God for a blessing on your adminis- In that prayer we, who survive, will not cease to take our humble part, nor shall we feel it less a debt to his memory than to your Grace's claims upon us to help, in our place and measure, in lightening your Grace's burdens, and thus carrying out the spirit of our departed brother, while mourning the loss of his valuable co-operation. Signed in behalf of the Chapter. WILLIAM HUNT, Provost of Westminster. From the Hall of the Chapter, Nov. 6, 1865. GEORGE, Canon LAST, Secretary. To the Most Rev. the Lord Archbishop Manning, Archbishop of Westminster. The Clergy of the Diocese then presented the following congratulatory address : May it please your Grace,—We, the clergy of the diocese of Westminster, assemble with cordial feel ings of loyalty and affection, to greet your Grace on your return from the Holy City. Since we met in this our Metropolitan Church for the solemnity of your Grace's consecration, you have knelt at the feet of our most Holy Father the Pope, and have received at his hands the emblem of your archi episcopal jurisdiction, the sacred pallium. We welcome you on your return with heartfelt feelings of devotion to the Holy See and of affection to yourself, who come to us, the bearer of the apostolic blessing, and the representative of its dignity. We see in your Grace the successor of the great Cardinal whom the Holy Father was pleased to choose as the founder of a new hierarchy, and we know that a long series of pontiffs will carry on this sacred line so worthily continued by your Grace. The apostolic benediction we regard as the pledge of the Divine blessing ; and we trust that it is in reserve for us, and for the generation of clergy that will succeed us from time to time, to congratulate your Grace on the fruits God will bestow on your ministry and our own under your Grace's guidance and fostering care during your pontificate. And that God may spare your Grace many years to rule over the arch-diocese, is the fervent prayer and ear nest wish of your devoted clergy. The Archbishop replied as follows Very reverend, reverend, and dear brethren,—l did not look for this public expression of your affec tion and attachment. But it is for that reason all the more grateful me. If I were to say that I see in it nothing personal, I should ill respond to the words of personal confidence and kindness which you have addressed to me. But if I say that I see in it chiefly a recognition of the person of the Holy Father, and of the spiritual jurisdiction with which he has been pleased to invest me, I shall truly inter pret your kindness and give an exact utterance to your intention. The pallium which was worn by St. Augustine, St. Theodore, St. Ephege, St. Ansehn, St. Thomas, St. Edmund, after a lapse of 300 years, was laid by the same undying hands upon the shoulders of the first Archbishop of Westminster. England is not further from the faith and unity of the Church now than when St. Gregory sent the pallium to St. Augustine. And St. Augustine could little foresee the glories of the Saxon Church, or the perilous and majestic greatness of the Norman. What may be our future God only knows. But we are bound in faith to hope great things, and in fidelity to endeavour them. We should fail in our duty to our Divine Master if we were to aim at anything less than the con version of England, the redemption of all our brethren from heresy and from schism; the reconciliation of our country, dear to me next after the Church of God, to the kingdom of Jesus Christ. It is a paltry service and an earthly pru dence which aims at anything less than the whole breadth of our Divine commission. "If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed you shall say to this mountain, Remove from hence hither, and it shall remove ; and nothing shall be impossible to you." Two things are certain—the one that Pro testantism, after running like other heresies its course of 300 years, is dissolving and vanishing away ; the other, that the Catholic faith is irresis tibly expanding on every side. These two operations never rest. Everything which bears the semblance of a theology or of a church out of the unity of the only true Fold, is visibly changing and pass ing out of sight. In a generation or two the Anglican religion will be like Donatism or Arianism—a page in history. The immutable and imperishable Church, in the midst of a . world-wide conflict w hi c h i s r i s i ng hi g h er and higher every day, will be all the more visible to the nations as the sole ark of salvation moving upon the face of the waters. For this we will labour on in perfect confidence that God will accomplish His own work when and as he wills. When, the other day, I had the happiness of kneeling at the feet of the Vicar of our Lord, I venture to say that the thoughts which arose in my mind were nei ther of the honours or promotion which were laid upon me, but of the paternal love and confidence which the Sovereign Pontiff had mani fested towards me. I could not then and I cannot now look upon what has fallen upon me, except as a heavy and formidable trust. I believe, very reverend and dear brethren, that it is in that spirit we meet to-day. I am confident that in your minds the first thought and the last is neither of honour nor dignity, but of the labour and responsibility which rest upon you all and with you and for you first of all upon myself. It gives me, therefore, a true and heartfelt consolation to meet you as I do to-day, and to receive from you this spontaneous and unlooked-for assurance of the unity of heart and will in which we are bound together. We are not strangers to each other. In these last fourteen years and more it has been my happiness to live and to labour among you. There is not a mission in London in which your invitation has not given me year after year a share in your wo r k. Th ere i s hardly a mission in the diocese, the details of which I have not learned from yourselves. And these close ties of common labour, and, I may say, of friendship and affection, have by the Sovereign Pontiff been now knit together by a bond which nothing can dissolve. To live among you and to work with you in the intimate confidence and mutual love of pastors and brethren, who are spending and being spent for the flock ; in God's good time to be laid by you in the midst of those faithful servants who, after their toil was over, have already fallen asleep ; and with them to be remembered by you at the altar, this is all I desire and ask. Your act to-day, with the help of the Holy Spirit of God, will give me courage for anything. In ful filment of the promise I made you in June last, I did not forget you when I received from the Vicar of our Lord his parting blessing. I asked for you a plenary indulgence and the pontifical benedic tion, which I will now convey to you and to all the faithful here gathered together, with the prayer that you may be powerfully assisted by the Holy Ghost to save the souls for whom Jesus shed His blood, and over whom He has set us that we may give account to Him at the day of His coming. The Archbishop then retired from the Church attended by the clergy, and the proceedings ter minated. The whole of the arrangements, which were under the control of the Rev. Dr. Gilbert, were admirable, not the slightest confusion or over crowding in any part of the Church occurring during the whole of the imposing ceremony. FRANCE.

Particulars of the robbery and the capture of the accused have already been given. Some important additional evidence was given on Saturday. Mary Ann Dunn—l am a single woman. Have lived in Derby five or six months. I have known the prisoner Clarke between five and six months. I have lived with him since I came to Derby at a lodging-house in Walker-lane. Clarke never worked at anything to my knowledge. I have known the prisoner Callaghan as well as I can recollect for a month. I first met him at Croft's lodging-house, when he came with Mary Ann Joyce. He lodged at Croft's. Clarke and Callaghan kept company together while they were lodging at Croft's. I re collect them coming in on Monday night, the 15th of October, about ten o'clock, while I was frying fish. They both came in, and Callaghan said that I and Joyce must put our things on together. They did not say in the house what for. I hesitated a moment or two, and clarle commenced cursing TIT O. I and Joyce then put on our clothes and went out ' with them. I followed Joyce to Steele's public house. Clarke and Callaghan stood outside. Both of them said we were to look sharp and go down Walker-lane. They said, " We have been and got some money, and we must look sharp and get out of the road, or we shall be taken." When we were going down Walker-lane I told Clarke I was ill and could not walk a long way, and he gave me a sovereign and told me to go back again. I turned a little way back, and then he came and began to swear at me and made me turn again. We went on the Ashbourn-road. We called at the Brick makers' Arms. I and the other woman stood outside while Clarke and Callaghan went in. They said they were going in for some " blacks" meaning spirits. When they came out they said that they had got some, and we went along the Ashbourn-road. I think Clarke's coat was a kind of grey. The oue he has on now is the same. He wore a cap. I think Callaghan had the same coat he wears now, but not the same waistcoat. I am almost sure he wore a cap at the time, but cannot swear the cap produced is Callaghan's. Only Cal laghan wore whiskers of which he had more than at present. Just before we got to the first toll-gate they commenced tearing up some letters and cards, and throwing the pieces on to the hedge and ground. It was dark at the time. They said they took the letters off the gentleman they had the money from. Before we got to the first village on the road, one of them, I think Clarke, struck a match, and with the light they were looking at a watch. I could not tell whether it was gold or silver, but I think the latter. They said they wished they had a key to wind it up and tell the time. Before they struck the light on the other side of the toll-gate they divided the notes. Clarke pulled them out of his pocket. I asked him where they got the notes and money from, and they said they bad been on the Nottingham-road. Both made this answer. They showed them to us and said they were £5 notes. I saw four notes. They said that on the Nottingham road they met a gentleman, and Clarke walked on a bit first, and Callaghan was behind. Clarke said he turned back, and the gentleman was smoking a cigar. Clarke said he went up to the gentleman and put his arm round his throat, and Callaghan shouted " Hold him, and we will get the stuff off him." Clarke said he put his arm round his throat and kept punching him while Callaghan robbed him. I asked Clarke what he did with the man. He said they kicked him and punched him in the ribs, and that he tumbled into th e h e dge bottom. I said a policeman would be after them. He said he was not frightened, as the man would be two or three hours before he would get over it. They did not say who the gentleman was, or whether they knew him or not. They said they had got four £5 notes and a silver watch, and some sovereigns besides, from the gentleman. Mary Ann Joyce, the other woman, also made a similar statement ; and after the examination of other witnesses, in consequence of the mass of evi evidence to be taken, the prisoners were again re manded. DEATH OF ARS. CAMERON.—The sympathy of the country will be painfully moved by the announcement of the death of Mrs. Cameron, the mother of Consul Came ron. Her health has been undermined, and she has at last sunk under the suspense and misery she so long endured in consequence of tho cruel imprisonment and torture of her son. HEAVY GERMAN EMIGRATION EXPECTED.—The New York Herald has a letter from Berlin, in which the writer states that there is no diminution of desire on the part of the Germans to emigrate to America, and predicts ' that there will be no falling off in the number arriving on the shores of the United States for a long time. It has been thought that now Germanies w ere t o ar i se i n Chili, on river Platte, in Brazil, and i n A us t ra li a, b ut t h e a uthorities directing these movements h ave g i ven i t up in despair, in view of the all-absorbin g a tt rac ti ons which A mer ica impresses on the imagination and interest of the G ermans. The Bremen Company have ordered two new steamers, to meet the in creasing emigration, and both lines will soon reduce the fares. Other lino are reported as about to he eztablishect. 'AYS. Cash. The Temperance Movement. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The friends of the temperance cause ars much indebted to you for the leading article in your paper of Saturday. You do them• in justice, however, when you state that they "en deavour to enforce total abstinence on a whole country." Their object is not to enforce total abstinence, which would certainly be " per fectly useless," but to persuade the community that abstinence from strong drink as a common beverage is the most efficient means of reclaiming drunkards and of preserving the sober from habits of intem perance. The fact that one-tenth of the inhabitants of this country have already become total abstainers is sufficient to encourage temperance reformers to further efforts, and to convince them that their work is not so utterly " hopeless" as many imagine. Yours, respectfully, A TWENTY-SIX YEARS' TEETOTALLER. London, Nov. 6, 1865. Arrangements are ordered to be carried out on an extensive system in Woolwich Arsenal for the pur pose of fulfilling the design of the War Department, long contemplated, of superseding the use of timber for gun carriages throughout the two services, and establishing that of iron in its stead. A large number. of carpenters employed for many years in the Royal carriage department have in consequence been dis missed, and, by virtue of the regulations, those who have served ten years and upwards are entitled to a scale of pension ranging from ss. a week. Many of the men are young and unencumbered, and will be able to obtain employment elsewhere - without loss of time, while many, it is feared, will have great difficulty in supporting themselves and their families on account of their advanced age. Their discharge was felt to be a matter of necessity, otherwise the work would have to be performed by private firms. The spacious workshops occupied by the carpenters and tin-workers are now undergoing a complete change. They will be transformed into smitheries and engineers' factories, and are being supplied with riveting machines, steam hammers, punch ing machines, shears, and all the appliances ne cessary in the manufacture of iron carriages and slides. A fuse-box of a new pattern, approved by the War Department, is also to be introduced, and the entire stock on hand is ordered to be re modelled, which will entail some considerable amount of employment to those retained. A number of additional mechanics and labourers have been taken on in the Royal gun factories to complete the " Woolwich guns" in course of construction, so as to enter upon a test of their merits as early as may be. _ - A ROMAN CATHOLIC JUDGE ON FENIANISM.-At the quarter sessions for the county of Limerick, Mr. John Leahy, chairman of the county, a Roman Catholic, in addressing the Grand Jury, congratulated them on the 'act that so far as their city was concerned, it ap peared to him to be free from what was known as Fenianism. This, he should say, was highly creditable to Limerick. There was no appearance whatever of that vile and wicked conspiracy within its walls, which was not to bo much wondered at when the character and intelligence of its inhabitants was considered, for no respectable or in telligent man would identify himself with it; even the humbler classes of any respect would not do so. It was confined to drunken, idle fellows, disaffected young men without character or reputation, a lot of brainless shop boys, who, because they read of the penal laws enacted in former days, and which ought to be long since forgotten, assumed imaginary wrongs, and, fanned on by a false spirit of patriotism, wished to exhibit themselves before the world. His Worship then spoke of the wicked inten tions entertained by the Fenians, and said that while they were of a nature only calculated to make sage men laugh —about drilling, pikes, and so forth—still they were of a character to cause apprehension to persons of weak nerves, whose properties wore threatened to be taken from them, and who were actually under the impression that it would be. It was satisfactory to know that Fenianism hadn't its existence in this country; it had been going on for a long time in America, among a reckless and bloodthirsty class— men without means or character. True, there was emigration from this country to America, but none of the farmers who had a stake at home went there; the sons of some did go, who could not get a good field for labour at home, and num bers of young men also went out in the search of lawful em ployment. This admitted, ho should say that some of the greatest criminals betook themselves there to avoid punish ment for the offences they had committed at home, and those were the class who chiefly composed the Fenians in Ame rica. Men had gone to America and Australia, and re turned home in a short time very wealthy. How did they get rich so soon ? Fellows failing to got on either in Ame rica or Australia by proper means, betook themselves to some digging, and by getting up earlier in the mornings than their neighbours became rich by cutting their throats. In conclusion, his worship adverted to the news received about the Fenian meeting hold in America, and road the speech of Mr. O'Mahony, especially dwelling upon the portion where he announced the contributions towards the funds. This in itself showed that money -making was at the bottom of the whole plot.
