The good city of Belfast is celebrating the autumn holidays in a very pleasant and profitable manner. Scarcely have the labours and excitement of the Social Science Congress come to a conclusion when the first official entry of the Lord-Lieutenant, on an interesting and important occasion, reconciles for the time being all party differences, and gives a fresh opportunity for holiday-making. The inci dent which drew the Marquis of ABERCORN to the good city of Belfast was one which gave the people of the vicinity good reason for re joicing, affording, as it does, satisfactory evidence of the growing energies and capacities of their town, and promising an increase of wealth and traffic which may bring substantial blessings in its train. Belfast has long been considered the Liver pool of Ireland, and wishes, it would seem, to be the Manchester as well. At any rate it may claim to be the first commercial city in the sister kingdom ; and the new docks, which the Lord-Lieutenant opened with all due pomp and ceremony on the Ist of October, can hardly fail to give a powerful impetus to trade. Hitherto there have only been one or two small docks, and the majority of the vessels have been compelled to put up with what accommodation they could get at the quays. The new graving dock and tidal basin on the County Down side of the river will give immense relief to the shipping, as the value of the export trade was last year over twelve millions sterling. The basin which, in honour of his Excel lency, is called the Abercorn basin is 700 ft. long by 700 ft. wide. In it is the new graving dock, 450 ft. long by 80 ft. wide at the coping, and 50 ft. at the bottom. It is most substantially built with all the modern improvements. The materials are chiefly procured in the neigh bourhood, and the workmen have been local residents, so that the undertaking has been in every sense a benefit to the vicinity. The day of the inauguration was kept as a holiday, and much satisfaction was felt at the public recognition of the energy and importance of the town shown in the Viceregal visit. The several public bodies marched in procession to the harbour, and all business being suspended the people flocked out in holiday attire. The address presented by the Mayor to Lord ABERCORN referred to the happy contrast afforded by the occasion to the troubled condition of some parts, and his Excellency's reply expressed the satisfaction with which he visited a town " which had been raised within so short a time by the energy and enterprise of its inhabitants to so prominent a place in the commercial world." Let us hope that the prosperity of Belfast may be a happy augury, and that other towns and cities in the Emerald Isle may before long show that they can emulate its in dustry, its energy, and its consequent good fortune. The course pursued by the Reform League with reference to the celebration of the passing of the Reform Bill is certainly rather an original one, and seems likely to afford amusement and excite curio sity during this dull season. Last night a meeting took place of the Council of the Reform League, Mr. BEALES in the chair ; and a long discussion followed as to the most fitting line to adopt under the circumstances. It was reported that the Agri cultural Hall could not be procured for the pur pose, because repairs were going on there. Mr. BRISK moved that the banquet be postponed until July 23, 1868, the anniversary of the falling of the Hyde Park railings, since a fitting place could not be found for the celebration of the festival. What connection there is between the Reform fete and the Hyde Park railings it is difficult to find out, but all must admire the polite way of describing the occur rence by "falling railings.'' Mr. ODGER declared that the postponement of the banquet should be placed upon higher grounds than the want of a building in which to hold it. This is false reasoning, because one sufficient reason is always enough to give, and all that follows are superfluous and uncalled for. It would have been well if the discussion bad ceased here, and if these worthy gentlemen had followed the example of the KING, who exclaimed, upon hearing the excuses proffered as to why guns had not been fired in his honour, " In the first place, we had no cannon." " That will do," said his MAJESTY, " that is quite explanation enough." Now, if there he no place where a Reform Banquet can take place, why go beating about the bush to find other reasons why, if there were a place, it should not, ought not, must not take place? Such a course of proceeding looks very like the sour grapes story, and suggests all kinds of unflattering comments. At any rate it is out of taste and quite out of character for the League to pass the resolution which they did. It is in a manner quite contra dictory of all that they had previously affirmed, and certainly a flat denial to the assertions recently made by Mr. BRIGHT that it was well to rejoice over the measure of Reform as an instalment or step in the right direction. It would seem that the time which has been spent in looking for a place to celebrate . this Reform Bill has shown to the members of the Reform League that the said measure has worked very badly, so that the joy which they should have experienced has been turned into scorn. Mr. ODGER said that Mr. GLADSTONE was right in advocating a small rather than a large measure of Reform, because of the 2 conduct of the landlords. The Chairman explained THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 3, 1867. t: Fiat he held in his hand the report of the Executive of the League in this matter, and that the conclu sion•. arrived at was that no celebration of the pass ing of the Reform Act should be held, be cause general dissatisfaction was felt throughout the country at the ratepaying clauses con tained therein. The report, among other things, stated " that every hour assured the com mittee that the Act will bring no Reform at all, and that it will be worthy of condemnation instead. of celebration." This is really most extraordinary language, and we are puzzled to account for it, but it will not deceive and delude the public. They will see very plainly for themselves that disappoint ment, jealousy, and bitterness of spirit have actuated and inspired these proceedings, and in the sight of all independent and impartial observers the lint) thus taken condemns those who follow it moat completely and unreservedly. It will, no doubt, take many by surprise, because the last news was that the Reform League waa - to have a banquet of its own, and now the entertain ment, like a fairy structure, has vanished into thin air. The resolution drawn up by Mr. BEALES, which was agreed to after a very long discussion, was entirely condemnatory of the measure as it stands, and seemed, indeed, to indicate that it had better not have passed at all. " Considering the complaints now being made in various quarters of the probably very injurious working of the Reform Act through the householder fran chises being connected with ratepaying conditions, against which this League always protested, and which are being made the means of causing the franchise to be a cruel burden instead of a benefit to a large mass of tenants and occupiers, the Council recommend tho delegates to be convened for the purpose of postponing, for the present, the celebra tion of the passing of the Act, and to assist the Council in devoting its active efforts to obtain the repeal of the obnoxious ratepaying clauses, which are, in fact, the result of a class desirous of preventing any measure of Reform, which they only adopted through compulsion and insincerity, from being a real means of enlarging the franchise for the benefit of the working classes and the great mass of the people." A more un called-for declaration than this could not well be conceived, but it only shows what errors people make, and what ridiculous positions they put them selves in when they attempt to do too much. It was only the other day that we were told the Council of the Reform League was offended be cause another section of Reformers had pre sumed to usurp their privilege cf cele brating the Reform Act being passed, and now there is to be no celebration at all. Well might one of the speakers at the Crystal Palace the other day point out the Conservatives as examples to his friends, and advised them to keep more in unity. Such an extravagant proceeding as this last exploit of the League is giving a handle to the enemies of Reform, and showing how little the most important and interesting cause can avail if steadfastness and single-mindedness are wanting. There is no need to go out of the way to charge the Government with insincerity, when such a glaring instance of it can be met with nearer home. Those whom this League professes to represent have a right to demand a more elevated course than this being taken by their counsellors and guides. It is quite idle to profess to set forth what the people really require, and then to become so involved in petty squabbles and material details that the spirit of the enterprise is lost sight of altogether, and the great question of the day is lost in the small and trivial accidents of the hour. We may unhesitatingly affirm that those who so forget their duty stultify themselves, and it does not require much inspiration to predict that the Reform Act of 1867 will be remembered with honour to those who framed it, and were instru mental in so doing,when all these unworthy attempts to detract from its merits will have sunk into well deserved oblivion, or at best only cited to show how dissatisfied people can become when they have received more than they ever asked for or expected to attain, but there is nothing so difficult to over come as prejudice. Among the many striking changes witnessed during the last half century in the Governments of the world at large the fortunes of the South American States have not been the least remarkable. The several little States who succeeded in breaking off the yoke of Spanish domination have, indeed, still much to accomplish ; but their history, so far as we know it, shows that the people are capable of a higher development and a more vigorous indi vidual existence than they have yet attained. Un fortunately, it is not easy to get at the exact truth respecting them. They are cut off from us not only by distance, but by circumstances. Respect ing Paraguay, for instance, we get the greater part of our intelligence through a Brazilian medium. The shadow of Brazil sweeps over half the Southern Continent, and it is not difficult for parties :so closely interested in the result of the struggle to represent it as certain to terminate in their own favour. The truth, however, seems to be that the success of the Brazilian arms is by no means certain. The arrival of the mail ship Seine brings us intelligence from the Brazilian ports that the news from the seat of war is not considered favour able. The Allies cannot pass Humaita, and have not taken Curupaity, the army remaining between the two ports. The determination of the people of Paraguay is unshaken, and a Buenos Ayres journal, commenting on the war, tells us that the Paraguayans fire and destroy everything on the Allied line of march. Even the oranges which grow wild in their fertile country are converted into material of war, "and the Allies," adds the writer, " behold in the bare trees evidence of the undying determination of the enemy to fight to the very last." In warring with such a people, he continues, regard must be had to the resources of the invaders, as well as those of the invaded, in estimating the chances of the war. The expenses of the Allied Army are much increased and the risks are also greater. The attacks on the convoys are constant and harassing, and that its expense is great is evident from the financial proceedings of Rio Janeiro. The Budget makes several important changes with a view to giving a considerable in crease of revenue. The EMPEROR had also addressed a letter to the President of the Council informing him that, in order to assist him in his desire to re duce the public expense, he would cede the fourth part of his dotation from the Ist of March next, and the EMPRESS from the Ist of January. The Para guayan raids upon the convoys form a serious ob stacle to the Allied arms, and the Buenos Ayreans, at least, have little confidence of the result. From the difficulties which surround the Allied position, says the journal from which we have already quoted, "we are disposed to think that the war must come to a more speedy termina tion than what those engaged in contracts for the army supply apprehend." The sympathes of this country at all events will be on the side of the gal lant little Republic, fighting with such undaunted resolution against desperate odds. The battle is not always to the strong, and there is good reason to hope that Paraguay may add another to the list of those small but valiant nations who, having won their national independence at the point of the LATEST INTELLIGENCE sword, continue to maintain it with all the energy • I and the resources of which they are capable. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evening. A telegram from Stockholm has been received in Paris, which states that the King of Sweden has suffered a very painful operation, but his Majesty is in a satisfactory condition. It is stated from Berlin that the Government of the States of Southern Germany have been in vited to send plenipotentiaries to that capital, charged with the mission of preparing a system of cheap uniform postage. It was yesterday that the Federal German War Marine came into existence, and Prussia may be said to have made another advance in influence and power. The Federal flag—black, white, and red—is now hoisted by Prussian ships, and the Royal flag, white and black, discarded. The budget of 1868 and 1869, presented to the Chamber of Deputies of Bavaria, estimates the expenses at about 178 millions of francs, which will necessitate an increase of taxes. The Minister of War asks for a credit of three millions of florins, and the Minister of Finance proposes a malt tax, which will be levied not only in Bavaria, but in the Rhenish Palatinate. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE PAPAL STATES. FLORENCE, Oct. 3. The intelligence received here concerning the insurrectionary movement in the Papal province of Viterbo is of a very contradictory character. Up to the present, however, no serious conflict has occurred between the Papal troops and the insur gents. The latter continue to occupy certain loca lities. At Rome many arrests have been made, and the authorities have taken various precautionary measures to prevent disorder. Some fresh detach ments of Italian troops left there for the Roman frontier yesterday. KING GEORGE OF lIANOVER. BERLIN, Oct. 3. The funds and castles recognised by the Prussian Government, as the property of King George of Hanover, are to remain for the present under Prus sian administration. The castle of Herrenhausen and the Marienburg, with the Crown demesne of Calenberg, are the residences comprised in the arrangement. At the sitting of the Federal Counsel yesterday, the draft of the bill permitting free change of domi cile in the countries belonging to the North German Confederation was adopted with slight modifi cations. It appears, from the German papers received to day in Paris, that public opinion in Germany is much occupied with the consideration of the im portant question about to be discussed in the Chambers of the kingdom of Wurtembe:g. The Representative Body of Wurtemberg is asked to consent to the ratification of the treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, which will bind that State to Prussia, and place all her military forces at the disposal of King William, as well as of the Minister who has reconstituted the Zollverein. I have already alluded to the opposition which has been engen dered against this project. The adverse feeling appears to be on the increase. Of all the States of Southern Germany Wurtemberg is the one which has all along manifested the most decided aversion to the policy of M. Bismarck. The democratic party energetically opposes the idea of being incor porated with the Confederation of the North. The ratification of the treaty in question by the Cham bers would be an important step towards that incorporation, and one may therefore easily conceive the interest that will bo created by the debates which are about to commence at Stuttgart. A meeting of what is called the German party, that is to say, the party which supports Prussia, has taken place, and has agreed to resolutions in favour of the Bismark policy. On the other hand, the Democratic party have had their counter-meet ing, which was much more numerously attended than the Bismark assembly; and the speakers, men of considerable influence, earnestly recommended the rejection of the treaty, and with unanimity passed resolutions having that object in view. It is difficult, under present circumstances, to say which party will be triumphant ; but Prussia has such potent means of influencing the Wurtemberg Chambers, that both German and French papers well acquainted with all the intricacies, not to say intrigues, connected with the question, believe that Prussia will succeed in this attempt to increase her military domination. Some of the Ministers are leaving Paris to recruit after their arduous labours. The Marquis de la Valette, the able and popular Minister of the Interior, and M. Rouher, Minister of Finance, are now with the Emperor at Biarritz. A letter from Florence, dated September 26, in the Moniteur, contains some interesting facts. It states that, although the arrest of Garibaldi of course produced a certain degree of excitement, it did not elicit any manifestation of sympathy with his avowed object of overthrowing the temporal power of the Pope. There have been some insigni ficant street riots in Florence, but in the large cities of Italy, Milan, Naples, Genoa, Bologna, and Venice the people have made no sign and committed no act which could be construed into a desire to sup port the Garibaldian policy. Even the eldest and most sincere friends of Garibaldi advise him to abstain from further action. General Garibaldi himself seems to feel, although a little late, that all classes stand aloof from him, for he made the re quest to be reconducted to Caprera. The alarm at first caused by the appearance of Garibaldi seems likely to be rapidly dissipated. Some demolitions are in progress which will open a space before the Palace of the Legion of Honour, in the Rue de Lille, in the faubourg St. Germain, and direct more attention to that small but remark able edifice. It is in the Roman style of the last century. The façade presents a triumphal arch, with two wings of the lonic order. The principal building is at the bottom of the court yard. The front has a Corinthian portico, with friezes orna mented with arabesques, and having the inscription, " Honneur et Patrie." The Prince of Salm-Salm employed the architect Ros seau , in 1 786, to erect this edifice, the circular s al oon of which was deco rated by Bocquet, a painter patronised b y L ou i s t h e ' Sixteenth. During the first years of the Revolution a swindler, calling himself the Marquis de Bois gerard, lived here for a time in great state and luxury, but it was found out that his riches were accumulated by forgeries, and he was sent to the galleys. One of the literary glories of France, Madame de Stael, once lived in this edifice, which was called the Palace of Salm-Salm. It was bought by the State some years ago, and the Emperor Napoleon ordered it to be devoted to business con nected with the Legion of Honour. The Grand Chancellor of the Order h a s h is official residence in this palace. A new opera i n one act, ac L a F ranc e e d e Daprato, is in re h earsa l at t h e which report talks won d ers.

Man dent ; Lysis, by Mdlle. Bloch ; and Polus, by M. David. The music classes have recommenced at the Conservatory of Music. M. Albert Auguste Perdonnet, civil engineer, called the patriarch of railways, has just died at Cannes, in his 67th year. He largely contributed to the establishment of the first railways in France, and has the reputation of having been more inti mately versed in all their details than any other Frenchman. M. Perdonnet wrote a great many practical works upon railways. His remains will be brought to Paris for interment. The Imperial Exhibition Commissioners adhere to their determination to close the Palace on the 31st of October, or rather the last dty of general admission will be the 30th, for on the 31st there will be a special fete and banquet, and all sorts of novelties and attractions. Ladies will be present at the banquet, at which men of all politics and from all countries will assemble. The various pro ductions for the palate from all parts of the world will give additional zest to the guests. The wines of all countries will figure at the table, and cham pagne, it is said, will f or on ce give way to Con stanta wine. The attraction to the Exhibition is undiminished. On several days lately 50,000 per sons have been present. The average number who pay daily is 40,000. An article was recently copied into 7he Sun from the Anglo-American 'limes, which spoke in well deserved praise of Walker's crysta l case watch. It has attracted many persons to Mr. Walker's stand, class 23, myself among the number, and I can, from close inspection, endorse all that is said of the use and excellence of these watches. They avoid the annoyance and expense so often experie n c ed with the ordinary watch, and they have also o ther advan tages. For instance, the hunting wa tch must be opened to see the time, and the spring often breaks or wears out. Although so durable, these watches are very neat and portable. Of their durability a strong proof was afforded at the time of the memor able robbery at the establishment of Mr. Walker in Cornhill in 1865, when eighteen watches were thrown into the Thames. Of twelve recovered by the diving apparatus seven wore crystal case watches, not one of which (although thrown from a height of more than 60 feet) had its glass broken. Perhaps the best proof of the excellence of these watches is that their exhibition has ]ed to extensive purchases. As I have spoken of the excellence of French watches, it is only fair to point out a triumph of English manufacture. HUNGARY. PESTII, OCt. 3. The Emperor and Empress of Austria are ex pected here next Monday. It is believed that the Austrian and Hungarian Delegates will meet again in four weeks. The Transylvanian Chief Tribunal, at Clausen burg, has been dissolved, and the business of that Court transferred to the Chief Tribunal of Pesth. FRAN CE. PARIS, Oct. 3. The Moniteur of this morning, referring to the alarming rumours which were current yesterday on the Paris Bourse, says :—" The rumours which have been circulated in Paris, and especially on the Bourse, are entirely devoid of foundation. It is truly deplorable that the public credit should be influenced by such manoeuvres. The Government has lost no time in requesting the judiciary autho rities to investigate the matter, and to seek the authors of the false intelligence."

At a meeting of the Council of the Reform League, held last evening, at Adelphi-terrace, Mr. E. Beales in the chair, a long discussion took place upon the question of holding a banquet in celebra tion of the passing of the Reform Act. Mr. Lucraft reported that i the Agricultural Hall could not be pro cured for the purpose, as it was undergoing repairs. Mr. Brisk moved that the banquet be postponed until July 23, 1868, the anniversary of the falling of Hyde-park railings, as a fitting place could not be had for the banquet. Mr. Odger said the postpone ment of the banquet ought to be placed upon higher grounds than the want of a building in which to hold it. He found by the newspapers that the land lords were taking :advantage of the clauses of the Reform Act to raise the rents of their tenants, and, therefore, if men had to pay 25 or 30 per cent. extra for their premises in order to obtain the suffrage, there was really more occasion for sorrow than re joicing over the Reform Bill of 1867. Moreover, it showed that Mr. Gladstone was right in advocat ing a small, rather than a large measure of Reform, seeing that the landlords formed a class ever ready to take advantage of the clause of an act of Parliament to advance their own interests. The Chairman observed that he held in his hand the report or recommendation of the executive of the League on the matter, and it was decidedly against any celebration of the passing of the Reform Act being held, on account of the general dissatisfaction expressed throughout the country at the ratepaying clauses. The report, among other things, stated that every hour assured the committee that the act will bring no reform at all, and that it will be worthy of condemnation instead of celebration. A lengthened discussion ensued, and eventually the following re solution, drawn up by Mr. Beales, was agreed to : " That, having heard the statement of the execu tive committee recommending the postponement of the proposed banquet, and considering the com plaints now being made in various quarters of the probably very injurious working of the Reform Act through the householder franchises being connected with ratepaying conditions, against which this League always protested, and which are being made the means of causing that franchise to be a cruel burden instead of a benefit to a large mass of tenants and occupiers, this council recommends the dele gates to be convened for the purpose of postponing for the present the celebration of the passing of the act, and to assist the council in devoting its active efforts to obtain the repeal of the obnoxious rate paying clauses, which are being used as a contriv ance to enable the landlords of small properties to raise their rents, and which are, in fact, the work of a class desirous of preventing any measure of Re form —which they only adopted through compulsion and insincerely—from being a real means of enlarg ing the franchise for the benefit of the working classes and the great mass of the people. At the same time, this council repeats its conviction that no measure of reform can be satisfactory to the people which does not embody the fundamental principles of the League—residential registered manhood suf frage and the ballot." It was then agreed that a delegates' meeting should be called to consider the foregoing resolution, and the council adjourned. THE OUTRAGE IN BLOOMSBURY.. —During the whole of Tuesday night and yesterday, up to about four o'clock, 3,1 'Donnell, the man shot in Bloomsbury, con tinued to improve. With the change in the weather, how ever, in the afternoon, depressing symptoms appeared, and the official report at 11 o'clock last night was " Not quite so well." Some additional evidence has beon obtained by Sergeants Langley and Palmer, of the Scotland-yard de tective force, but its exact nature must not at present be disclosed. The public may, however, be assured that the facts ascertained will not only have a most important bear ing on the outrage committed on Sunday morning, but will tend to unravel the ramifications of a widespread plot. The Horne Secretary has offered £lOO reward to the person who shall give such information as will lead to the discovery of the man who shot 2,l'Donnell, the conditional pardon also being promised to any informant not Wingate actual committer of the act. THE ARCHBISHOP OF TVESnIINSTER ON THE PAN-ANGLICAN SYNOD. On Sunday last, the feast of St. Michael, in the church of St. Mary of the Angels, Bayswater, the Archbishop of Westminster, after preaching on the subject of the day, spoke in substance as follows :—" The feast of St. Michael the Arch angel irresistibly forces upon me other thoughts bearing upon the present moment. The head and prince of the angels of God is the special guar dian of the chief pastor of the Church on earth. The ministration of angels and men in a wonder ful order, as the Church describes it in Holy Mass, is so disposed, that the guardianship of angels surrounds and mingles with the Church through out the world ; but to their chief is assigned the protection of the Vicar of its Divine Head. Last year, on Rosary Sunday, you made special in tercession for our Holy Father. A year of tumult and uncertainty is passed, and he is still upon his throne : not by the power of kings or of armies, but by the power of God alone. He is walking on the water, as his Divine Master, whose power rules the instability of the world. I call on you again, on Sunday next, the festival of the Holy Rosary, to offer your communions and your prayers for the same intention. Another thought, forced upon me by this festival, is this : It is th e anniversary of the restoration of the Catholic Hierarchy of England. It was on this day that the great Pontifical act of its creation was signed and dated ; and that the first Archbishop of West minster received from the supreme Pontiff the pallium of his authority. It is within our memory that the Church in England was under penal laws, out'of sight, and powerless. The pro vidence of God set it free, and renewed its unity and symmetry in the fulness of Catholic order. Since that moment it has expanded sensibly and visibly, year by year ; and is expanding at this hour with an irresistible force, which no human antagonist can overcome. The Catholic Church in England is visible to the eye, and sensible to the ear. It has entered into the intellect of Englishmen, and has established itself in the consciousness of our country. Nay, more than this. The derision and de nunciation of the past is gone ; and men are turning to it for the knowledge of doctrine, for the evidence of Scripture, for the proof of Christianity. But on this I cannot now dwell. There is another thought which at this time calls our attention. A signal event in the religion of England has hap pened in these days. Separated as we are by our faith and the unity of the Church of God from the people of our country, nevertheless we rejoice over all that remains of Christianity in England. our land was once as the garden of Eden, before the storms of tyranny and heresy three hundred years ago swept over it the sands of the desert, and turned its beauty into desolation. The unity and symmetry of its faith was broken down, and its Christian order cast to the ground. We lament its shat tered state, and we labour to build up again the sanctuary which has been cast down. There is something pathetically beautiful in the face of Eng land. The outline of the Catholic Church is still to be traced upon it, as in the bottom of deep lakes, we are told, or imagination fancies, that the foundations of ancient cities may still be seen. The majestic cathedrals and the beautiful parish churches of England remain as the image of what Catholic England was. But the Presence has de parted from the altar, and the light has been ex tinguished. Nevertheless, there is in the English people a belief in much that their forefathers believed. The old religion has still great hold upon them. Remnants of faith, and scattered Christian doctrines, portions of ritual, yet remain. There is a spirit of religion and an aspiration after higher things, great fidelity to conscience, and an earnest seeking after truth ; there is a religious life, and evidences of that life. All these things are to be found both within and without the An glican communion. We pray that they may be increased more and more ; that the smoking flax may not be quenched ; that the truth and piety still alive may be unfolded into the perfect faith and worship of tho Church of God. " Some, in deed, even out of envy and contention, Mit some also for good will, preach Christ. But what then? So that every way, whether by occasion or by truth, Christ be preached; in this also I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice." There are signs upon England full of hope. For a hundred years there has been a reaction towards personal religion, conversion to God, the works of repent ance, and obedience to the Spirit of Grace. There has been also a continual rising again towards the faith. Truth after truth, doctrine after doctrine, shattered and lost in the vehemence of human passion, which three hundred years ago fell upon England, has been restored in the reason and the belief of Englishmen. There has been a reaching after higher aims and a more supernatural life. Men have come to believe and to teach many doctrines of the Catholic faith, and to clothe them in a ritual which borrows its splendour and its beauty from the Catholic Church. They have learned to acknowledge the sanctity of the reli gious state ; and both men and women are devoting themselves after the manner of the religious life. They are craving after unity with Christendom at large, and seeking a restoration to the communion of the Church throughout the world. They are conscious of the confusions and disorders of Eng land, and are labouring to introduce order and submission. And now in these last days we are witnesses of an event of which I should be sorry to speak as bitter and cold critics of their own have spoken. The heads of the Anglican Com munion in the British empire and in America have assembled together in Synod. All these things point one way. All these movements have one direction. When such strong currents, contrary to all previous tendencies, converge towards one point, we may be sure that a greater than man is here. I fain would hope that the influences which impel this movement are from above. It is forcing men from their old moorings. The Holy Spirit is working upon them ; and we ought to pray that He may lift the anchors of pride which have so long fastened them to this earth ; and that they may be raised upon the waters of Grace, and may launch out into the deep for a draught; that they may meet him on the water who alone, in the power of his Master, can walk upon it. In the last twenty years, the Angli can communion has been spreading in the British Empire, but its extension has been without cohe sion. It has multiplied its diversities and become more divided as it has spread. The consciousness of irreconcileable contradictions and conflicting doctrines, even among its chief pastors, compels it to feel about for some principle of cohe r e n ce . This very Synod demonstrates the absence of unity, be cause it manifests the irreconcileable doctrines of those who meet in it, and of those who have marked their differences by their absence. U nit y is the consequence of truth. Truth precedes and generates unity. Truth alone can unite r men. Authority without truth is impossible. The two keys of knowledge and jurisdiction are inseparable. The divisions before our eyes demonstrate the ab sence of those keys in that assembly. They . are to be found alone where unity of truth and unity of order exist together, in that Church t o which alone the keys were given. Nevertheless, the sympathy of every Catholic heart will be with all who are seeking for higher and more perfect grace. Though the original sin of usurping the place of the Church of God three hundred years ago lies upon that communion, t communion, there are among its members multi tudes as unconscious of that sin as infants are of the sin of Adam. They were born into it, robbed of their inheritance—born into a state of privation of which they are unconscious. It is our part to pray that what they desire may be granted above all that they ask or understand ; and that when their chief teachers are gathered together, seeking for truth and unity, our Lord may bestow upon them the unity and truth which are to be found alone in his only Church. Th i s Synod is a break ing down of insular narrowness. It is a reaching out to find a stay and support beyond the four seas of England. It is a confession tha t an island is not enough for the Church ; that a centre to rest upon is needed ; and that no suc h centre is to be found in England. Whether they know it or not —confess it to themselves or not—it is an instinc tive action, an effort to find a rock on which to rest. It points to the Divine order • " Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven." On that rock stands the Vicar of the of Co 1 . with outstretched arms, with a father's l o ve, bidding all ~ , onie who will return to him with Anal confidence auw c" , .1 submission. Clllll4 tr. HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL, Oct. 1. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Christian, Princess Louise, and Princess Beatrice, honoured Sir James Clark with a visit yesterday at Tillie pronic. Prince Christian and Prince Arthur, with Sir Stafford Northcote and the Gentlemen in Waiting, went out to a drive of deer in the woods. his Excellency M., Madame, and Miss Van de IVeyt?r had the honour of dining with the Queen and Royal family. DEATH OF SIR 7110.3L4S ST. V. 11. a IROUBRIDGE, BAR 7., C.B. Yesterday morning Colonel Sir Thomas St. Yin cent Hope Cochrane Troubridge, Bart., C. 8., deputy adjutant-general at the Horse Guards, died at his residence at Queen's-gate, Kensington, at half-past six o'clock, after a short illness. The gal lant baronet was taken ill on Saturday last. Dr. Protheroe Smith and other medical gentlemen were called in, but with all their care and professional skill he expired yesterday morning at the above hour. By the premature death, by fever, of his wife on the 29th of August last, Sir Thomas sus tained a severe domestic bereavement, and had ever since shown a desponding spirit, which his official duties did not seem to alleviate. The late baronet was the son of Admiral Sir Edward Troubridge, second baronet, by the daughter of the Hon. Sir Alexander Cochrane, G.C.8., and niece of the Bth Earl of Dundonald, and was consequently grandson of the gallant officer who, in 1799, was created a baronet for his glorious services at the battle of the Nile, in August the previous year, at which battle he commanded the Culloden. His melancholy end after his gallant services is supposed to have taken place when the Blenheim was lost on his return home from India. Sir Thomas, the lamented ba ronet, was born in 1815, and entered the army in 1834, as an ensign in the 73d Regiment. 1n1836 he was promoted to a lieutenancy in the 7th Royal Fusi liers, in which regiment he obtained his company in 1842, and in 1850 became major of his regiment. On the outbreak of the war against Russia he was called with his regiment to take part in the Eastern cam paign. He was present at the battle of the Alma with the Light Division, under General Sir George Brown, and under the hottest fire headed the storm ing party in ascending the heights. Fortunately on that occasion he escaped injury, although many of his gallant friends were shot down by the fierce fire of the enemy. He accompanied his regiment to Sebastopol, and took part in all the active opera tions of his division, till the battle of lnkerman. On that memorable day he was the field officer for the day of the First Brigade of the Light Division, and had charge of the outposts of the 5-gun bat tery, one of the most important points of defence. On the morning of the sth of November, at break of day, the enemy were found ascending against the battery. The fire of the Russians had created sad havoc amongst our soldiers, and the spirited fire kept up by those within the battery induced the enemy to concentrate all their power of attack on that point. The struggle was desperate, and Sir Thomas was most seriously wounded by a 391 b. shot, supposed to have come from the Round Tower of Sebastopol, which carried off the deceased baronet's right leg and left foot. Notwithstanding his ter rible wounds he requested to remain close to the gun where he had fallen, and also requested those by him only to elevate his limbs against the gun-car riage, for it was feared at the time he might bleed to death. For two hours he remained in that wounded state. The battle was then won; and Sir Thomas was conveyed to the hospital with his shat tered limbs. His coolness and self-possession excited the highest admiration among his comrades. Cap tain Lushington, commander of the Naval Bri gade, in his despatch to Admiral Dundas, spoke highly of his cool courage under such trying circumstances. Lord Raglan also in his despatches in speaking of the officers of the Light Division whose services had been brought under his notice by Lieutenant-General Sir George Brown (who had to quit the field from a wound in his arm before the action terminated) and by Major-General Codrington, said that Sir Thomas, " though desperately wounded, behaved with the utmost gallantry and composure." Owing to dis ablement by his severe wounds, he returned home, and landed at Portsmouth early in May, 1855, where he was received by his uncle, Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane. He was rewarded for his gal lantry at Inkerman by being made a colonel in the army, nominated a Commander of the Order of the Bath ; and, as a high distinctive mark of her Ma jesty's appreciation of his gallantry, appointed an aide-de-camp to the Queen. At the presentation, on the parade in St. James's-park, of the medals for service in the Crimea by her Majesty, on the 18th of May, 1855, " Colonel Sir Thomas Troubridge, Bart., of the 7th Fusiliers, who lost both feet at Inkerman," was one of two officers of infantry who were drawn up in wheel chairs ; the other officer being Capt. Sayer, of the 23d, who had the ankle joint of his right leg shot away at the Alma. The official record states :—" To Sir Thomas Troubridge her Majesty expressed her gratification in appoint ing him on such an occasion one of her Majesty's aides-de-camp." It was noticed on her Majesty placing the medal on his breast that she was deeply affected, and expressed the kindest sympathy to him, as indeed she did to many other officers and men whose wounds still crippled them. Notwithstanding the amputation of both his feet, he was enabled to ac cept the office of director-general of army clothing i❑ the same year, 1855. On the abolition of that office in Feb., 1857, he was appointed one of the deputy adjutants-general at head-quarters (for the clothing department), which appointment he held up to the time of his death. The late Sir Thomas Troubridge married in Nov., 1855, Louisa Jane, daughter of Mr. Daniel Gurney, of North Runcton, Norfolk. His union with that lady was a happy one, but lasted too short. After a few hours' illness from fever, she died on the 29th of Aug. last, leaving a very young family, her son, Thomas H. Cochrane, who succeeds to the baronetcy, being only in his eighth year. The gallant and lamented deceased felt the blow sorely, and there is no doubt it accele rated his death. He was a devoted and affectionate husband, an indulgent father, and a most charitable and humane benefactor. Fe or men have gone to the grave more deeply regretted than Sir Thomas Troubridge. We had almost omitted to state that Sir Thomas had received the medal and clasps for the Eastern campaign ; and the Order (4th class) of the Medjidie, and Turkish medal. THE PRINCESS OF WALES.—The St. Bartholo mew's Hospital annual dinner took place on Tuesday evening at Willis's Rooms, under the presidency of Mr James Paget, F. 11.5., who has just returned from Wies baden, having been in constant attendance on the Princess of Wales since tho departure of her Royal Highness from this country. Mr. Paget, in proposing the health of the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family, said—" It is a great pleasure to the to state that the health of the Princess was, at the time of my depar ture from Wiesbaden on Sunday last, superlatively satis factory. Those who sit round me can appreciate the gravity of the affection under which her Royal Highness was labouring, and it is with profound and heartfelt plea sure that I am enabled to announce to you, by the per mission of the Prince of Wales, that the limb is progress ing most favourably, and that her Royal Highness will shortly return to England, fully capable of participating in all duties and pleasures connected with her exalted rank and very great ropularity."—Pall-Alfall Gazette. REPRESENTATION OF BRADFORD. —At a crowded meeting of Liberal electors of Bradford on Monday even ing, Mr. Edward Miall, who had been previously nominated by the Liberal Registration Association, was accepted as tbeir candidate by an overwhelming majority. Mr. Ripley has issued an address announcing his intention to stand, and Mr. N. W. Thompson, who is on the Continent, has placed himself in the hands of his Conservative friends, who have decided on bringing him forward.
