The annual Exhibition of our Agricultural So cieties affords a convenient opportunity for the county and borough members to express their opinions on public affairs. Such a chance has just been seized upon by Mr. CAVE, Vice-President of the Board of Trade, at the meeting of the Steyning Agricultural Association. The member for Shore ham remarked that of late he had been going at high pressure, and from the account which he gave of his proceedings, his audience must have been properly impressed with the conviction that the life of an Engl6h Minister, even if he hold a subordinate position, is not all holi day. First, said Mr. CAVE, he had been required to go to Paris to negotiate a convention concerning our fisheries, and this was a matter in which his constituents naturally felt a very deep interest. Such a convention has long been needed by the fishermen of Shoreham ; and the new ar rangement by which they are empowered to fish for oysters during six weeks in the year more than for merly, and by which many antiquated and trouble some restrictions are abolished, could not be other wise than welcome to them. Coming to his own more ordinary business, Mr. CAVE gave a half humorous, half pathetic picture of its multitudinous labours. " Everything," he said, "which no other department liked to tackle was thrown upon the Board of Trade. It was a Board not only of trade, but of agriculture, and was concerned with harbours, ships, commerce of all kinds, railways, and commercial treaties." Certainly in a country like our own this gives a pretty wide range, and instead of wondering that Mr. CAVE should have been forced to speak 85 times in oue session, we may rather be surprised that he did not speak oftener ? If he has to account for everything remotely affecting commercial interests, which goes wrong on land or sea, from the defects in the new sewer at Barking Creek to the cause of collisions in mid-ocean, he will have enough to do. A subject more properly demanding his attention could hardly be passed over at a public meeting. The relative positions of labour and capital, at the present moment, are doubtful and unsettled, and are seriously affecting trade. Trades' unions, said Mr. CAVE, had been invented in order to en able workmen to get what they considered sufficient wages, but sometimes it was impossible to pay wages enough to enable an article to be made without some improvement in machinery. The im provement in machinery enabled the manu facturer to make higher profits, and conse luently to pay better wages, but this improvement the unionists will not agree to. Both iu agriculture tud in manufactures machinery is objected to by ignorant people as the workmen's enemy, instead of being, as it is in truth, his best friend. It enables the employer to gain a higher rate of profit, and therefore to pay his workmen a higher rate of wages. More than this, it empowers the manufacturer to step pace with the competition of the day. The employers of labour in other countries, hampered by no such restrictions, and gaining every year in mechanical skill and scientific knowledge, press closely on our track, even in those departments of industry which we consider especially our own. The evil influence of Trades' Unionism is felt too in another way, in the superficial and imperfect work now often detected in articles of English manufacture. Formerly the name alone was guarantee for the solidity and character of the workmanship ; now, thanks to the rules which forbid a man to put his heart into his work and fine him if he does it " with his might," English contract work often will not bear scrutiny. Could anything, asked Mr. CAVE, in speaking on this subject, " he so un fair and so antagonistic to improvement as the system which declared that a good workman should get no better wages than a bad workman ?" if this system were main tained, many trades, he said, must be driven from the country ; and we must remember that is the opinion of no mere theorist, but of a man whose official position and former experience have given him wide and varied commercial knowledge. It is their perception of this fact which makes the leaders of the unions so anxious to establish international trades unions, so as, in Mr. CAVE'S words, "to create the same dead level all over the world." In this laudable attempt they are not very likely to succeed ; but we are glad to find a member of the Government expressing himself so decidedly against them. Amid the many strange things of the present day nothing is more astonishing than the infatua tion which possesses some people to call the new state of things in Prussia by the name of liberty. In the Chamber of Deputies, yesterday, a letter was read from Ilerren KRUGER and 011BMANN, re fusing to take the oath of allegiance to the Con stitution, and hence their seats were declared to be vacant. Count BISMARCK made a long speech, in the course of which he said that the Government concurred in the resolution that the Budget should be assumed by the North German Confederation. appears that it is intended to convert the Prus- iari Ministry for Foreign Affairs into a Foreign Ministry for North Germany. However, the wily statesman contrived to find objec tions to the subsequent part of the ques tion namely, that Prussian Legations and Consulates within the territory of the Confede- tion should be abolished. Of course, ho put the respansibility on others, and said that it was an awkward thing to do on account of " wounding dynasti& susceptibilities." It wa3 regard for their Federal allies that the Prussian Government had not interfered iu this matter. "We will wait till the right of the several States to have separate foreign representatives rii ens and falls into our lap." We never hear anything of the policy or expediency of waiting until it concerns other people besides the Berlin Cabinet, and their affairs, and views, and wishes. Directly any other interest is at stake the case is very different, and there are many considerations to arrest atten tion and impede progress. As for the intimation of the Count that the KING would speedily agree to the desired change that does not go for much, because it is always easy to change one's mind at the last, and suggest other schemes. Count BB btA.RMi was quite in his airs on this occasion, and, THE SUN, 140N110S, TUESDAY EVENING_ DECEMBER 10, lkt. iu reply to Herr LOEWE, he stated that the Prus ! sian Government was not pursuing the policy of a satellite of Russia. O❑ the contrary, Prussia acted in concert with Russia. On the whole, there is no improvement visible in the state of politics in Prussia, for it is the old story still of arbitrary conduct and of manoeuvring devices. It is stated that in the eventuality of a war between France and Prussia the South German States have declared, though against their representatives at the Military Conference, that they will take the part of Prussia, but it does not follow that the support would be hearty or genuine. If these auspicious promises were more real there would be less fuss made about them, and the world would be allowed to find out for itself that Prussia was the centre of liberty and progress, and that all surrounding States were anxious to be joined with her in the march of progress and enlightenment ; but one feels naturally sceptical when so much is forced upon the understanding without any evidence thereof being adduced. The affairs of France are rather complicated just now, and the relations of the French Government with the nations of the Continent are not so satis factory as might be. In the sitting of the Legisla tive Chamber yesterday the interpellations that had been announced on German affairs were brought on. M. GARNIER PAGES laid great stress upon the pacific declarations of the Government not being verified in its acts. Further on, he declared that France had always promised to up hold the principle of nationalities, while it had arrayed against it the nationalities of America, Russia, Germany, and Italy. There was really some truth in M. 'limns' indignant rejoinder, that to do all this effectually they would have to cancel their history. At one time they were as Germans and another as Italians, but never as Frenchmen. The policy of the French Government was ably defended by M. ROMIER, who spoke with moderation, and yet with firmness. The passage was very forcible in which he declared that the Government " ought not to allow itself to be taken in tow by events which were being accomplished iu tlua name of nationality, nor forget that patriotism which ought to be its guiding star." Ile defined the policy of the French Government as being an energetic feel ing in favour of the universal maintenance of right, and the vindication of France's policy without hav ing recourse to extreme measures. Concerning Germany, M. ROUIIER declared that France had all along maintained the policy of appeasement, and that so long as native interests were not interfered with they would await accomplished facts. As for Italy, he declared that Italian unity had been "made" by France, as some averred that it had been, but he reiterated the sentiments of the Govern ment of the EMPEROR respecting the September Convention. That, he declared, was their fixed determination, and they would see their wishes carried out. However, he admitted that there was no desire ou the part of the Government to interfere with the unity of Italy, and therefore it may be that the storm may blow over, but it would have been much wiser for the French Ministers to have been more guarded in their expressions. With the best intentions, no doubt, they have contrived to create most unpleasant feelings in Italy, and it will he long before the entente cordiale is really and truly esta lished between the two countries. Strong expres sions and strong language may be uttered on an occasion, but years may elapse before their effect is done away with. For many reasons it will be satis factory to learn that a better understanding pre vails between France and her neighbours, for im portant interests are affected by the constant bickering and misrepresentation of things that dis turbs the peace and shakes the confidence of all. NEWSPAPER readers expect to be reminded at least once a year that "a largo amount of distress " exists in London." There is nothing specially metropolitan in distress. No considerable town is free from the necessity at this season of making special provision for the poor. But the extent, depth, and concentration of poverty in the capital often exhibit the causes and effects of poverty in a more striking degree than can be found perhaps elsewhere in the world. At the present moment attention is directed to the " Isle of Dogs." Here only a few years ago the Great Eastern was cradled. It was then a prosperous and rapidly-augmenting community. A fleet of large ships followed BRUNEL'S Leviathan from its shipyards. Three years ago, when the ravages of Confederate cruisers had thrown the carrying trade of America into English vessels, the Isle of Dogs was in the height of its prosperity. With the end of the American war began the decline of this prosperity, and with the monetary crisis of last year it was completely broken tip. There were then 16,000 hands employed ; there are now less than 4,000. The principal industry of " the island" was shipbuilding, which for the last two years has been progressing from bad to worse. The consequences are most distressing. Trade is virtually at an end. The small shopkeepers who have been compelled to remain can hardly keep the wolf from their own doors. Even the publicans are without customers. The workpeople who were unable to leave the place have witnessed their savings scattered, their homes spoiled, even the workmen's tools sold for bread. Dr. SARJANT has reported that " hundreds of persons are quietly and calmly dying by inches." In a single street of 150 houses there were found to be upwards of 100 sick persons. The origin of the sickness and increased mortality is simply the absolute want of the first necessaries of life—food and clothing. Consumption, debility, and fever are vultures which mark the track along which the scourge has passed. With poverty like this it would be useless to complain that our Poor-law machinery was incom petent to grapple. Voluntary aid must be derived from a large area to meet it, and nothing short of a revival of trade can effectually relieve it. - While it is incumbent on all who can afford it to lend a helping hand, it is worth while considering how far the working classes themselves can help to avert or to mitigate the sufferings of periodical visitations like these. The state of things in the Isle of Dogs has illustrated the depen dence of the working classes on each other. Hun dreds of artisans employed on the island were in receipt of high wages. Thousands of less skilled workers and labourers were dependent on these. When the bad time began the latter would willingly have accepted half a loaf rather than go without bread, but the former refused to abate a jot of the wages they had been receiving. Employers saw that they had no prospect of continuing business except at a reduced rate of cost. They were com pelled unwillingly to throw their hands out of em ployment. The result has shown once more that our industrial system is too inelastic. The attempt to enforce a uniform and unyielding scale of wages has in this instance resulted in an immense amount of misery. It may be that the evil day could not have been wholly put off, but there is every reason to suppose that the blow would have fallen less suddenly and with less severity. This was clearly an instance--one only among many— in which workmen and employers should have com bined to tide over " bad times." But the bulk of the workpeople were dependent upon a class above them, and these, again, wore ruled by unionist advisers, who regarded any concession as the bartering away of a right. The result shews that the only right they have actually vindicated by their conduct is the right to starve themselves and their neighbours, .. ._.F'. ... :i. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) MONDAY. Letters from Cannes which I have received inform me of the safe arrival there of the veteran states man, Lord Brougham, whose brief sojourn in Paris I had occasion a short time ago to mention. When his lordship arrived at the station he found no carriage awaiting him, although a telegram had been forwarded to his house-steward giving all necessary directions. No conveyance could for some sime be ob• tained ; but at length a " fly" was pressed into service, and his lordship was enabled to reach home, when he found that all the servants had gone out for a holiday and that no telegram had been seen. But the trials of this occasion had no evil effect, and neither the appetite nor the temper of his lordship suffered in any degree. It is not generally known that K Drouyn de thus has made a reputation in science as well as in statesman ship. To him the prosperity of the Society of Acclima tisation is due. The obje4s of this society are the introduction, the acclimatising, and domestication of useful and ornamental prodttts of nature, both in the animal and vegetable lingdoms. These objects are being carried out with the most gratifying success, as any one may perceive who looks into the trans actions of the society published annually. During the recent Exposition Universelle a number of the members were appointed to study and describe everything that could furnish materials for the advancement of natural history, and the results are embodied in a volume of great interest. Taken in connection . with " The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication," by Charles Darwin, which is announced for publication, this volume of essays by the French naturalists comes opportunely. M. Haussmann has been elected Academician in room of the late M. A cbillc Fould, by twenty•four votes against fourteen given to his rival, M. Henri Delaborde, The Queen of the Skaters this year will be a certain Madame R—, who purchased at the Exposition Univer• selle a magnificent Polish costume, which cost 2,000 francs, and is made of black velvet lined with violet satin, and trimmed with chinchilla ; the pantaton descending to the ankle is also trimmed with chinchilla. -- The weather in Paris has become excessively wintry. Hard frost continues, and great coats and furs are now seen in great numbers in the streets. The Berlin correspondent of the Timesmaaes the ominous announcement that the Siberian pestilence—the worst form of the cattle plague, which a few years ago spread as far as St. Petersburg, whence it was propagated to Western countries—has broken out again at Tobolsk. Up to the 10th of November 4,270 horses, 356 head of cattle, and nine men had succumbed to the disease in that province. In the Prussian province of Silesia the cattle plague is fast dying out. The vigour of the:administration of affairs in Prussia is conspicuous, and no better testimony to tilis fact can be adduced than the preliminary discussion at Berlin upon the Budget of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. Herr von Bennigsen moved that this budget should be assumed by the North German Confederation, and that Prussian legations and consulates within the territory of the Con federation should be abolished. Count Bismarck approve of the first part of the resolution, which was adopted, but disapproved of the second part, which was consequently rejected. Speaking upon the latter, the count observed, with excellent sense, "We will wait till the right of the several States to have separate foreign representatives ripens and falls into our lap." The representation of the Bund by foreign regations has already received the assent of the King, and will soon be carried out. In the Italian Parliament a discussion of some nnporb ance has just taken place. Signor Lanza, the new President of the Chamber of Deputies, having assumed office, Signor Sella proposed that, before entering upon the discussion of the interpellation relative to the conduct of the Government in the late political crisis, the follow ing motion should be adopted : "'1 hat the Chamber is firmly determined to retain inviolate the national pro gramme declaring Rome the capital of Italy." General Menabrea, in reply, said it was necessary, in the first case, to discuss the means of going to Rome. " Let us," he continued, " not discuss or even affirm the principle all have at heart. Discuss the means, and deafly establish what path you intend following on this point. The Government frankly declares itself, and will firmly maintain its views. The country is weary of ambi guity, and wishes to know where and with whom we are going. If the Roman question has not been earlier solved, do not accuse the Right, but rather those who have impelled the country to the brink of an abyss." Signor Sella's motion was afterwards rejected by 201 against 166 votes. ~•• Mr. J. Roos Browne, mining. commissioner, has ror several months past been investigating, under a Congres sional appointment, the production of the preciousmetala in the United States. The Times Philadelphia correspon dent adds that in some portions of the West the Indian hostilities have retarded the mining operations this year, tkad the Commissioner estimates the entire production of the precious metals in the United States for 1867 at 74,000,000 dollars ; of which California will produce 25,000,000 dollars, Nevada 19,000,000, dollars, Montana 12,000,000 dollars, Idaho 6,000,000 dollars, and Colorado 6,000,000 dollars. He states that 15,000,000 are annually wasted by the present imperfect methods of extracting the metals from the ore, so that the United States will actually produce in 186,7 89,000,000 dollars. Official intelligence has been received at Washington to the effect that a treaty between Denmark and the United States has been signed at Copenhagen. By this treaty Denmark cedes to the United States all the Danish West India possessions except Santa Cruz, and the price to be paid is 7,500,000 dollars in gad. The cession, however, is made dependent on the will of a mtijoritp of the peopto of the islands to be ceded, and for that p urpose an elec . tion is now being held, under charge of Danish and Ameri can agents, at St. Thomas. An expedition has been sent from New York to St. Thomas with a detachment of United States troops, to take possession of the islands ceded. Emigration to America has been going on with unu3uai activity this year ; but the steamers and sailing vessels bound for Europe bring back immense numbers of Irish and Germans, who, unable to find employment owing to the circumstance that the American labour-market is overstocked, and knowing they can live more economically in Europe than in America, are glad to return. The news of the execution of the Fenian murderers of Policeman Brett was reported by the Atlantic Cable on the day the event took place, and caused some excitement among the Irish population of New York. A meeting was called, and a number of politicians who are candidates for office at the Charter election, and are anxious to secure the " Irish vote," addressed the crowd. The burden of the speeches was denunciation of Great Britain for im prisoning and hanging Fenians, who were uniformly described as " American citizens." LATEST INTELL IGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE DEBATE IN THE FRENCH CHAMBERS. PARIS, Dcc. 10. In the sitting of the Legislative Chamber yester day, M. Rouher said that the Government thus laid down its political defence of the national inte- rests : "Deep aversion for any solution by the employ ment of force ; an energetic sentiment for the main tenance of right ; a careful examination of the facts taking place in the world ; research of those that might offend its dignity, and resolve to oppose them, at the same time not to be too easily alarmed at events in Europe, under the conviction that France would be up to the high standard of her mission, and was capable of repelling any dangers that might threaten her." M. Rouher stated that France did everything she could in 1866 to prevent war. M. Rouher added :—" Early in August, shortly after the preliminaries of peace of Nickolsburg, the possibility of a rectification of frontier was inti mated to our Arr.baEsador at Berlin. He imme diately proceeded to Paris, when, after an interview with his Sovereign and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, that idea was abandoned. Since then no fact has occurred to denote on our part the idea of conquest or of extension of territory." Speaking of the Luxembourg affair he said " Our conduct on that occasion was a warning to Ger many that we did not remain indifferent to certain facts." Respecting the declaration of the sth Dec. M. Rouher said that the representative of the Go vernment had only said what he was perfectly authorised to say, and in terms which he was autho rised to make use of. FRANCE AND HER GUESTS. Mr. bexter, corresponding secretary of the Paris Excur sion Committee, has published the following statement : "Among the British artisans who visited Paris in Sep tember there was an employe of Messrs. Schuster, of Bradford and London, whose stay in the French capital was, by no fault of his own, inconveniently prolonged. With the haste which is characteristic of judicial proce dure across the Channel, he was arrested, accused, and heavily sentenced for an alleged intention to commit an offence that was foreign to his thoughts. There was no one at hand to whom he could refer in support of his asseverations of innocence. Accordingly, being destitute of witnesses and deprived of every testi mony to his fair fame as an English citizen, he was con demned by a law which requires—not that a man b,e proved guilty, but that his innocence be not clearly de monstrated. In prison the unfortunate fellow found means to communicate the facts to the Paris Ex cursion Committee. Satisfactory intelligence with respect to his character was at once - obtained, armed wherewith I proceeded to Paris to set in motion the springs necessary for his release. The assistance of M. Haussoulher, secretary of the British Workmen's Hall in the Exhibition,was cordially given, and I shall not speedily forget the instant readiness of the British Minister to respond practically to the appeal that was made to him. Many British workmen who displayed a strong interest is the progress of our efforts will be glad to learn that the convictioa has been reversed, and James Bates is at liberty." THE LATE EXETER RIOTS.—It seems that the Devon magistrates, after much deliberation upon the abstruse legal question whether compensation can be awarded to claimants whose property suffered at the hands of the November rioters, have come to the con clusion that they have no power to order compensation out of the public funds. The announcement of this decision was met, a day or two ago, with surprise and angry remonstrance from the disappointed applicants. No doubt the declaration at the other petty sessional courts will cause a great deal of discontent. To many of those whose property was cruelly and wickedly de stroyed on the early nights of November the loss is a serious, and in some cases almost a ruinous, misfortune, and no ratepayer would begrudge the almost inappre ciable addition to the local burdens which compensation of these losses would occasion. Still, if the law is against them the magistrates cannot take upon themselves the responsibility of taxing the ratepayers without legal warrant.

Arrangements consequent on the change of management preventing the extension of Miss Vest vali's engagement bey and the present week, that eminent actress will appear for the twenty-fourth and last time at this theatre, in her celebrated put of Romeo, on Saturday next, the 14th inst. On that and the preceding evening she will, moreover, give a specimen of her vocal powers by introducing songs in the chief character of " The Brigand," the second act of that popular melodrama being announced to be played after the Shaksperian tragedy. This two fold attraction cannot fail to insure crowded houses to bid farewell to so established and admired a favourite at the Lyceum as Felicita de Vcstvali. THE OXFORD. For the season immediately before Christmas, Mr. Mor ton has mixed up a little magic with music for the enter tairment of that bucolic world which now rushes up to London by rail to see the Cattle Show. Mr. Alfred Stodare, brother to the late Col. Stodare, last night gave his "Magic Entertainment," similar to that last out at the Egyptian Hall, and performed by him for five months at the Theatre des Boulevards in Brussels. The quality of the perform ance may be gathered from the fact that in 1865 it was given before her Majesty at Windsor Castle, and twice be fore his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. Minus the Sphinx, Mr. Stodaro last night gave a series of astound ing feats of legerdemain, including the "magic handker chief," "a shower of water," "evaporation extraordinary," "instantaneous growth of flowers," "Japanese butterflies," and "the inexhaustible hat," which last trick was certainly the most extraordinary of the selection. Mr. Harry Syd ney is also welcome at this season with his pungent sallies. He sings a new and ingeniously written song apropos to the cab "lamp" question, in which he shows that there is a much greater dearth of mental illumination in the world than can be proved against the benighted four-wheeler. Mr. Fred. French manages to convey a pleasant moral through most of his songs, and in the rosiest possible manner, and 'Little Lova() and Jessy Nina" have late'y contributed some dancing of the comic lightning, or St. Vitus's order. " Orphdo aux Enfers" remainsa leading attraction amongst the popular selections of Mr. Jonghmaus. Mr. Green's imposing beard is in nightly peril from the re taliatory clutches of the Misses Russell, Fit z- Hen ry, and Rivers, and the whole selection is given with a lire and vivacity equally creditable to the histrionic and vocal abilities of all concerned. Mr and Mrs. Foster's "conic entertainment" (the gentleman making two capital mock election speeches); Miss Bryant's solo Otnoforte playing, M. Paque's solos on the cornet s-piston ; Miss Kato Santley and Mr. Harry Richards serio-comic and comic songs retain their attrac tions. Mr. Jonghmans sinks the musical conductor in the vocalist for the nonce, and with M. Bury, or alone, sings in his old and best style. We are glad to perceive that the rich-voiced Miss Russell is 'taking to sing solos, as well as leading in the selections. Miss Fitzllenry is an immense favourite in her songs and 'oallads, which she set off to great advantage by her charms of person and manner. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARIE'? —This Day. Market opens dull, but rather easier. Sales pro bably 8,000 bales. there. ALISON ON THE TE:I7IPORAL POWER, (From Alison's " ilistory of Eniope.") Napoleon has protested at St. Helena, and appa rently with truth, that he was not privy to the actual seizure of the Pope, and that when he first received the news he was at a loss what to do with his august captive. But it requires no argument to show that neither Miollis nor Radet would have ventured on such a step unless they had been well assured that it was conformable, if not to the formal instructions, at least to the secret wishes of the Emperor. "It is of little moment," says Tribaudeau, " whether Napo leon ordered the seizure of the Pope; he did not disap prove of it ; he profited by it, and took upon him self its whole responsibility." Bossuet has assigned the reason with his usual elevation of thought, why such a spoliation of all the possessions of the supreme Pontiff by a secular power ever must be prejudicial to the best inte rests of religion. " God had chosen," says he, " that the Church, the common mother of all nations, should be independent of all in its temporal affairs, and that the common centre to which all the faithful should look for the unity of their faith, should be placed in a situation above the partialities, which the different interests and jealousies of States might occasion. The Church, independent in its head of all temporal powers, finds itself in a situation more freely to exercise, for the common good and pro tection of Christian kings, its celestial power of ruling the mind when it holds in the right baud the balance even amidst so many empires, often in a state of hostility; it maintains unity in all its parts, 'sometimes by inflexible decrees and sometimes by sage concessions." The principle which calls for the independence of the head of the Church from all temporal sovereignties, is the same which requires the emancipation of its subordinate ministers from dependence on the contributions of their flocks. Human nature iu every rank is the same, the thraldom of vice and passion is felt alike in the cottage as on the throne. The subjection of the supreme Pontiff to the direct control of France or Austria is as fatal to his cha racter and respectability as the control of the rural congregations is to the utility of the village pastor. • • . . Equity in judment, whether in temporal or spiritual matters, can never be attained except by such as are independent of those to whom the judgment is to be applied : coercion of vice, whether in humble or exalted stations, can never be effected by those who depend upon that vice for their support : the due direction of thought can never he given but by those who are not constrained to bend to the thoughts of others. It will ever be the great object of tyranny, whether regal or Democratic, to beat down this central independent authority ; to render the censors of morals subservient to the dominant power; and under the specious pretence of emancipating man kind from spiritual shackles, in effect to subject them to a far more grievous temporal oppression. The immutability of the Roman Catholic Church amidst all these disasters is not the least remarkable circumstance in this age of wonders. It appeared un changed when the deluge subsided on the fall of Na poleon. It survived alike the captivity of the Pope and the overthrow of his temporal power. " Again doomed to death the milk-white hind was still fated not to die. Even before the funeral rites had bee❑ performed over the ashes of Pius VI. a great reac tion had commenced, which, after the lapse of more than forty years, appears to be still in progress. Anarchy has had its day, a uew order of things had arisen out of the confusion—new dynasties, new laws, new titles ; and amidst them emerged the ancient religion. The Arabs have a fable that the great pyramid was built by the antedi luvian kings, and alone of all the works of man bore the weight of the Flood : such as this was the fate of the Papacy. It had been buried under the great inundation ; but its deep foundations had remained unshaken ; and when the waters ab.ited, it appeared alone amidst the ruins of a world that had passed away. The Republic of llolland was gone, and the empire of Germany, and the great Council of Venice, and the old Helvetian League, and the House of Bourbon, and the parliaments and aristocracy of France. Europe was full of young creations, a French Empire, a Kingdom of Italy, a Confederation of the Rhine. Nor had the late events affected only territorial limits and politica: institutions : the destruction of property, the corn• position and spirit of society, bad through great part of Catholic Europe undergone a complete change But the unchangeable Church was still there." " What does the Pope mean," said Napoleon to Eugene, in July, 1807, " the threat of excommu nicating me ? Does he think the world has gone back a thousand years ? Does he suppose the arms will fall from the hands of my soldiers g" Within two years after these remarkable words were written the Pope did excommunicate him, in return for the confiscation of his whole dominions ; and in less than four years more the mins did fall from the hands of his suldiers ; and the hosts, apparently invincible, which he had collected were dispersed and ruined by the blasts of winter. " The wea pons of the soldiers," says Segur, in describing the Russian retreat, " appeared of an insupportable weight to their stiffened arms. During their fre quent falls they fell from their hands; and destitute of the power of raising them up from the ground they were left in the snow. They did not throw them away, famine and cold tore them from their grasp." Salgues, in Memoires pour Historie Generale de la France sous Napoleon,' says : " The soldiers could no longer hold their weapons, they fell from the hands even of the bravest and most robust." He extorted from the supreme Pontiff at Fontainebleau, in 1813, after the terrors and ex haustion of a long captivity, a renunciation of the rights of the Church over the Roman States ; and within a year after, he himself was compelled at Fontainebleau to sign the abdication of all his dominions. He consigned Cardinal Pacca and several other prelates, the courageous counsellors of the bull of excommunication, to a dreary im prisonment of four years amidst the snow of the Alps; and he himself was shortly after doomed to a painful exile of six on the rock of St. Helena. There is something in these marvellous coinci dences, beyond the operations of chance, and which even a Protestant historian feels bound to mark for the observation of future ages. The world has not gone back a thousand years, but that Being exists with whom a thousand years is as one day, and one day as a thousand years. And without ascribing these events to any deviation from ordinary laws, or supposing that the common Father " who sees with equal eye, as Lord of all," the varied modes of worship of His different crea tures, had interposed in a peculiar manner in favour of any particular Church, we may without pre sumption rest in the humble belief that the laws of the moral world are of universal application ; and there are limits to the oppression of virtue even in this scene of trial, and that when a power, elevated on the ascendancy of passion and crime, has gone such a length as to outrage alike the principles of justice and the religious feelings of a whole quarter of the globe, the period is not far distant when the aroused indignation of mankind will bring about its punishment. (Alison's " History of Europe," vol. viii., pp. 221-223.) His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales leaves Sandringham to-morrow on a visit to the Earl and Coun tess of Dudley at Buckenham, near Cromer, where his Royal Highness will remain till Thursday. The Earl of Dudley has invited a distieguished circle to meet hi= Royal Highness for shooting. The Marchioness of Nbercorn and Lord George Hamilton left Chesterfield House on Saturday fur Cannes. The Earl of Bective and Ladies Madeline and Adelaide Taylour have left Virginia Lodge, Cavan, on a tour of visits. The Earl and Countess of Dunmore have arrived at Claridge's Hotel from Itaby Castle, Durham. THE WEATHER.—Winter seems now to have set in good earnest. Another fall of snow took place in the metropolis early yesterday morning, accompanied by a bitterly cold wind. In the early part of the day the great amount of truffle along the principal thoroughfared caused the snow to melt, but this having frozen, the roads and footways soon became slippery. No serious accident has been reported, although the horses cotthl scarcely retain their footing. ~ ~r ICY' 61 7 4 i t c tioe , t 4 HER IILLIESTY.
