A short debate in the House of Commons gave expression last week to the dis content felt in some quarters to the outlay proposed on behalf of this country, but the dissatisfaction perhaps was occa , ioned rather by the mystery of the proceeding than the inlgnitude of the sum. The truth is there was no help for it. We could not have s'ood aloof from the Exhibiion, for we our selves sA the exampl e of these international shows, and we claim to be the most industrious and pro ductive people in the world. In point'of fact we are so considered, for we are indulged with nearly as much space and opportunity as all the world besides, France herself alone excepted. The whole available space of the central building is about 1,500,000 square feet. Of this France, according to etiquette, appropriates one half; of the remainder 300,000 feet are allotted to England. As exhibitors are, of course, scrambling for ground, and discontented with the shares assigned to them, we are the envy of competing nations. In fact, we are taking the lead in this wonderful show, and if all exhibitors are to bear their own charges wo de not think that ours are exorbitantly set at £116,000. Austria and Italy, certainly not more competent than ourselves, are spending their £BO,OOO each, Belgium £60,000, and thtifty, economical Prussia £120,000. Unfortu nately, when Government was asked for the his tory of the vote, there was no clear explana tion forthcoming, and as most people were un acquainted with the conditions fixed by the French Government, the demand for the money took them by surprise. It happens, too, that the public feels no great confidence in theclassof persons who are presumed to be more or less immediately concerned in the management of our Exhibitions, and so the protests were general as well as energetic. Mr. Hunt, however, though he could not explain the origin of the vote, was able to specify its distri bution. Upwards of £23,000 went for " supple mentary buildings and park," an outlay which, after what we have said, will be easily understood. We have had not only to build our own detached fabrics, but to lay out the ground around them, and provide for their ornamental as well as useful cha racter in all respects. Then £15,000 is required for management and watching, nor will that item be much grudged when it is understood that the Eng lish Commissioners are taking extraordinary and exceptional precautions for the safety of the objects under their care. House and office expenses stand for some £20,000, and freight for nearly £lO,OOO. Altogether the original estimate appears to have been for £90,000, to which £lO,OOO was added for the charges of exhibition by the Government de partments, and as much more for the expenses of jurors. In the aggregate the demand is consider able, no doubt; but then ourpretensions are equally so, and, what is more, they have been successfully maintained. Our contributions. to the park are, at least, as attractive as those of our neighbours, and, as to our show, it is hard to say what specimens of industry and skill It will not comprise. As the Trinity House will set up a model lighthouse with all its contents, and the War Office will have its gun -shed, and pattern 11ospital, and commis sariat establishment, and the Admiralty its museum of naval architecture, to say nothing of the contri butions from the Houses of Parliament, the Trea sury, and the Record Office, we c:an readily imagine the demand of £ll,OOO for the Departments. But, besides all this, the show of private exhibitors will be on the grandest and most comprehensive scale. Since our last Exhibition at home we have had five years of experience, and made, it may be hoped, a corresponding advance in all departments of art and science. This progress we have now undertaken to display for the criticism of the world, and we must do our best to win approval. It is a cheap kind of rivalry after all, and, if we turn the opportunity to good account, we may find probably that we have made a satisfactory investment of our £lOO,OOO in the World's Fair of 1867. solution,;, and that he received every one of thew without the slightest hesitation, and raised no ob jection to one single portion of then, except one,— " for unexhausted improvements mad::: even without the consent of the landlord."

The banquet to the Mayor of Limerick, Mr. Tait, on Monday evening, was very gratifying, not only with reference to the gentleman so signally honoured, but in its bearing on the state and prospects of the country. Mr. Tait is a Scotchman and a Dissenter ; he went to Limerick as an apprentice, and he is now the owner of some of the largest establishments in the United Kingdom, giving employment to a very large number of people. The banquet was given in the Theatre Royal ; covers were laid for 300. Mr. Synan, M.P., presided ; the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Bishop Butler, of Limerick, Sir John Arnott, Mr. Monsell, M.P., and other leading gentlemen were near the chairman, while the general company represented all parties and denominations in the city and neighbourhood. The toasts of the Queen and the rest of the Royal Family were re ceived with peculiar enthusiasm. In proposing the guest of the evening, the chairman mentioned Mr. Tait's public services in highly eulogistic terms. Mr. Tait had displayed all the virtues of the Scotch nation, the steadiness, perseverance, and eminent business talents which made men of that nation invariably successful, but in all else, in heart and feeling, he was more Irish than the Irish them selves. The chairman then proceeded to refer to Mr. Tait's large-handed charity, to the exten sive employment he afforded, and to the impetus he had given to the trade of the port by his energy, which had started into existence an unrivalled fac tory, and had projected a line of steamers from the Shannon to the Western World. The toast was received with loud and prolonged applause. WEXFORD, Feb. 24.

(From the Times' Special Correspondent.) CAIIIRCIVEEN, Friday. A meaner and a muddier place than this I have seldom come upon in the course of my travels. It is well situated at the foot of the mountains, and in full view of Valentia river and harbour, and at a very great distance looks even picturesque. But the charm which distance lends is broken when you have to pick your way through the dirty streets and get a near view of the miserable dwellings in which many of the inhabitants arc content to dwell. Yet the town has a considerable trade. It is the capital of a very large country district, cut off by sea or mountain from practicable communication with more important places, and the country people flock to it in large numbers for the sale of produce and the supply of their few wants. I drove through it on the butter-market day, and the principal street was thronged with peasants and farmers and their carts. 'Th e English tongue was hardly to be heard. Irish was evidently the mother tongue, and you found yourself silent and helpless among the crowd, remembering with some mortification that you may stay within the limits of the United Kingdom, and yet hear three languages not one word of which you can understand. I have been assured that from some lips Irish falls liquid and soft, with "syllables that breathe of the sweet south ;" and one can readily believe this; but the Irish of the Cahirci veen market-place seemed pre-eminently sharp and shrill and grating—a language of all others fit for haggling, wrangling, and the wrath which wears itself out with words. The people bring in for sale great plenty of butter, with eggs, wool, feathers, hides, and other small produce. 'They carry back little, for they want little—a bit of salt fish, perhaps (judging by the smell, very salt), and of grocery and drapery very meagre supplies. Their thrift startles those even who know something of the home life of the Eng lish peasant. In most cases necessity may compel this thrift, but the small farmer is given to small economies, and in clothing and food he and his family deny themselves many things which almost the humblest in England regard as necessaries. With rude appliances they manufacture the frieze out of which their coats and cloaks are made ; linen and woollen goods for household use or wear arc also made at home, and it is only in preparing for weddings and for funerals that the country people spend with a free hand. Then extreme parsimony is followed by extreme profusion. _ _ Around Cahirciveen comparatively little land is under tillage ; it consists chiefly of bog and moun tain land, on which a few sheep and cattle find pasture. Among the latter the famous milker, the Kerry cow, ought to be found, but the pure breed has been bought up at fancy prices by the stranger. The peasants you meet, men and women, are mostly barefooted. Some of them seem to show marks of Spanish descent ; jet black hair, full, dark eyes, and cheeks coloured half by the olive, half by the rose, are by no means unfrequent. There were types both of the Spaniard and the Celt in a troop of chil dren who, just dismissed from a roadside National School, rushed after my car, 15 of them, and kept up with it for at least two miles on the road between Glenbeigh and Bells. They did not shout, they did not beg, they hardly interchanged a word with each other, perhaps because they had no breath to spare, but kept on at tip-top speed, looking brimful of fuu and high spirits and enjoyment. It was cruel to ask these children, just released from school, ques tions in mental arithmetic, but I did. English children would have tailed at once, perhaps raising with one consent as they went a groan for the un feeling stranger who had set them lessons out of school. But these youngsters entered into the spirit of the thing at once, and answered, all panting as they were, with a vivacity and intelligence which spoke well both for school system and schoolmaster. More over, when I proposed the no-ways munificent re ward of 6d. for division among them, the chief spokesboy, with a charming naivete, raised objec tions, because he said they lived too far apart for such an arrangement. And so we parted. As the car drove out of Cahirciveen in the dusk, it was exceedingly difficult to edge through the country carts that were still standing in the street or were now being driven home. In vain my driver shouted in civil•lrish and very uncivil, at times even pro fane, English. The other drivers gave it him back in a yet Thriller and more ear-piecing vernacular, and got out of the way with the most provoking deliberation, while pedestrians who had chosen the middle of the road showed entire willingness to be knocked down and ridden over. Why the insurrection should have begun at Cahir civcen is a mystery. A story is now told to this effect : —An insurrection had been planned and was to have broken out all over Ireland at the same time as the rising here. At the last moment the Fenian plans were changed, and the rising was counter manded, but as Cahircivecn is difficult of access, this order was not received by " Colonel " O'Con nor in time. 'The same mistake was committed at Chester, though there is no want of communication with that city, because the Fenian organisation is not so effective in England as in Ireland. I cannot help thinking that this is a mere blind in order to covcra conspicuous and damaging failure. O'Connor probably thought that, when Stephens's star was on the wane, he would make a bold bid for the not unprofitable post of Fenian Chief He selected Kerry because he was a Kerry man and well known there, and also because he knew the country; particularly those very mountains to which his prophetic instinct led him to think he and his following might possibly have to fly.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—In another month the Great Exhibition, designed to eclipse all former Exhibtions, and to be a standard for all Exhibitions to come, will be pre sented to a curious, candid, and criticising public. As it grows upon our senses, we can read the de scriptions of the spectacle with increasing interest, and some amount of consolation. The building it self is, of course, the ugliest thing ever seen. The French themselves admit that nothing could possi bly be uglier. It resembles an enormous gasometer, enclosing a series of smaller gasometers, with a cir cular garden in the common centre. From this centre roads or avenues diverge to the circumfer ence, likes the spokes of a wheel or the cross threads of a spider's web. In each of the circular compart ments thus formed and intersected certain depart ments of industry will find their place, and this principle of arrangement, excellent in its way, has deterinined the form of the building. The architect alleges that it will answer its main purposes better than any other structure could do, and with that success he is content. But the peculiarcharacteristic, the great distinction of the French Palace of In dustry lies in its surroundings, or, we might say, its suburbs. It is situated in an artificial park such as in old times would be termed " a pleasaunce," and this ground will be laid out with extraordinary art. It will be studded, too, with little detached edifices for supplementary Exhibitions, erected and deco rated in all the styles of architecture known to man. Temples, mosques, pagodas, wigwams, josshouses, villas, tombs, and huts will vie with each other in no velty, picturesquen e.4s, and beauty. Already, though the park is half under water and everything in dread ful disarray, the Parisians are satisfied with this part of the spectacle, and arc willing to believe it will re deem the inevitable ugliness of the central fabric. But there is another point about this great Exhi bition which has become notable, and it concerns the terms of exhibiting. The French Government decided upon these terms, not, it is thought, in a very handsome spirit, some 12 months ago, and they have been everywhere accepted. These terms are, space and shelter to be providedby the Impe rial Government, all else to come from the exhibitors. In short, the French find the ground and the " gaso meter," but nothing more. Perhaps there was no alternative between this apparent parsimony and such an outlay as could hardly have been anticipated, but the result is that exhibiting nations will be put to no inconsiderable expense for their respective shows. In the detached buildings even the fabric itself will be raised at the cost of the exhibitors, IRELAND. DUB LIN, Feb. 23. The Rev. Dr. Lloyd has been appointed Provost of Trinity College by the Lord Lieutenant this day. Inspector Corr arrested two men this morning, who, it appears, had been transferred from a coal vessel, just arrived in the river, to a fishing smack. It was stated that one of the prisoners bore a strong resemblance to James Stephens. The men give their names as 'William Jackson and John Philips, Irish Americans. They were noticed leaving the coal brig and going on board the smack. Informa tion was at once given to Inspector Corr, who, ac companied by some of his men, proceeded on board the smack and took them into custody. They were conveyed to Sackville-lane Police-station, where they are detained at present. Considerable impor tance is attached to the arrest of these men, as it is stated their mission was on "-urgent private affairs." A special telegram to the Freeman's Journal states that four prisoners were arrested at Cahirci veen, two of whom are supposed to have been en gaged in the attack on the Coastguard station. " The Episcopal policy" is a new phrase which is coming into vogue in Ireland in connection with politics—and it is connected with a new questicn, which has been raised in Cork, and which may yet give some trouble to the Roman Catholic hierarchy. It is asserted by the Roman Catholic supporters of Mr. M'Carthy Downing and Mr. Vincent Scully that when a vacancy occurs for any place where the Roman Catholics predominate a selection is made of the candidates. that offer themselves by Cardinal Cullen in Dublin, in consultation with other bishops. The choice is announced to the priests of the dis trict by the bishop, who summons a meeting of them all for the purpose. The majority of votes decides for or against any candidate, and the minority are bound by the decision. There are two or three new features in this poli c y. Fi rst, it is secret; secon d , i t excludes the laity ; thi r d , it compels priests who dissent from it to support the adopted cand i date, or, at any rate, to supp ort no other. This policy secures unity, but at the e xpense of liberty ; an d i t g i ves to the clergy a dange rous power. It is true i t h as t hi s excuse—that it puts it an end to what Roman Catho lics call the disedifying spectacle of priests haran guingagainst priests in th e same di oces e, an d per haps against thei r own B ishop. It accounts, how ever, for the sudden retirement of candidates, which excited so much surprise at Cork. Mr. Smith Barry, a young Protestant gentleman, with £40,000 a year, landed property, was adopted by the bishops, provided he signed a resolution which was submitted to him by a deputation. If he re fused to sign, Mr. Downing was to be the man, Mr. V. Scully being obnoxious from having spoken in Parliament against the Pope's Irish brigade, and for other reasons. The moment Mr. Downing learned that Mr. Smith Barry had been preferred he resigned, and though Mr. Scully made a long speech d en ouncing tothiet aeptiteleteepalpolicy in last moment. instead of being The to a pr m ie. a s n te, against him, a n d, n of £3,000 or £ 4,000 more, ci on ue t s h t e ion h , u h st e in t g o s o forwit The hho r i uema; theo,no u i e s l xd o p b he v an i vd o ei u t b s u re ee be would not have had a chance, and even so it would have been a very doubtful chance, unless he could have done as he said—put all the attorneys and their clerks in prison, gagged the press, and sent the priests into "retreat" till the election was over. It so happens that the diocese of Cloyne embraces two-thirds of the county of Cork, and Dr. Keane, a determined tenaut-rightrnan, and one of the founders of the National Association, is its Bishop. Mr. Scully spoke of him as the " distinguished prelate who so ably presides over the spiritual concerns of the diocese of Cloyne and over the temporal affairs of the county of Cork." The following is the principal resoution adopted by the Cloyne priests at Mallow on Saturday, and which Mr. Smith Barry was required to sign :—" 1. That we, the clergymen of the diocese of Cloyne, will support no candidate at the approaching election who will not be in favour of compensation for unexhausted im provements made even without the consent of the landlord, provided such improvements are pro nounced suitable to the condition of the farm by a competent tribunal appointed by the Legis lature; of denominational education, a satis factory solution of the Church question, and a good Reform Bill ; and who will not vote against any Government refusing to make these measures a por tion of their Ministerial policy."

STAMPED sd. from the railways which would bring the soldiers, while by breaking the telegraphic wire the district could be isolated at once, until the whole population had turned out. Some influence may have been exercised by the fact that O'Connel was born near this place—the house is now an ivy covered ruin --a nd from Cahirciveen the people would receive a new Liberator. There is no suffi cient evidence to show that this Kerry raid was con nected with any other concerted movement in Ire land, for the mere fact that O'Connor's followers expressed disappointment that there was no general outbreak only proves that he bade them expect one. Ambition, and a wish to be first in striking the blow that was to free Ireland, a belief that the means taken in Kerry would insure a first success, and that, this was all which would be necessary to produce a national rising, —these are sufficient motives to ac count for what has happened, and we need not guess at . the existence of other causes. Cahirciveen was, at all events, the starting point of this abortive conspiracy. The Fenian movement does not seem to have been watched by the chief of the constabulary here with the vigilance which has been shown by his colleagues in Other places. A number of hot brained, half-educated young men, some of them hardly more than boys, had long banded themselves together under the leadership of O'Connor, who had been l'tving in the country for - some time—openly before suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act and. secretly after that time— when the police, who kneirliiin to be a dangerous character, searched his house in vain 'Atlast came the • day which O'Connor had fixed for' his mad attempt. He had despatched Captain Moriarty to Killarney to raise the Fenians there. Then he arranged for a rising on his native bog at Cahirciveen. I have before mentioned the information furnished to the authorities elsewhere by Fenians of Fenian plans. Exactly the same thing happened here, only that, instead of anonymous letters, the information, I believe, was conveyed verbally by some one who was to share in the enterprise, but who had strong personal reasons for desiring its failure. Ile made an alarming statement respecting the plot, and said that . the Fenians intended to destroy the police barrack, phinder the bank, and there would be robbertaid bloodshed. His statement of these blood-thirsty intentions is not supported by other evidence, nor is it borne out by the subsequent be haviour of the insurgents when, on their road to wards Glenbeigh, they had it in their power re peatedly to have fired and murdered all around them. It is, of course, impossible to say what might have happened in Cahirciveen if the Fenian blood had been roused in au attack on the barrack, fatal perhaps to some of their number, but successful at last. Providentially, any question of this sort was avoided by the promptitude with which the informa tion was acted upon. On hearing late in the after noon of Tuesday a hurried account of what was ex pected, Capt. White, of the Coastguard station here, immediately went on board the Gladiator, which most fortunately was then in the bay. On his way to the boat he met several suspicious -looking per sons, apparently proceeding towards a common ren dezvous. This strengthened the suspicions previ ously aroused, and Capt. Aplin decided at once to send a force of Marines for the protection of the town. Meanwhile, the would-be insurgents, per ceiving probably that - the authorities were on - the alert, moved off outside the town, left the police barrack untouched, but took the sword, rifle, and revolver belonging to one of the police force who had left them in a house in the town, and moved off on the high road towards Killarney. They disarmed a Co.lstguardinan at Kells in the name of " the Irish Republic ;" they took five rifles and five sword bayo nets with some 50 rounds of ammunition from the Coastguar I station there. You have already had the details of the shooting of the mounted orderly. In addition to the published accounts of that incident., I may say that I saw to-day a bullet taken from the cottage roof and fired into it when the wounded man was taking refuge there, or after he had entered. This was a cowardly act, and you have already heard that " Colonel" O'Connor disapproved it, and gave Duggan some brandy and water. He also took the hand of the wounded man iu his own, and bade him cheer up, telling him that he (O'Connor) had been far more seriously wounded in the American war. At the house of Mr. Shea, bailiff to Mr. Winn, a landowner at Gleubeigh, the insurgents asked for refreshment, and proposed at first to leave it unpaid for. They had previously drank a good deal of liquor in a roadside house without making payment. Mr. Shea asked them to leave the name of some one who would be answerable for the money hereafter, and the leader wrote his name on a slip of paper, "J. J. O'Connor, Colonel Irish Republic." Soon afterwards, however, he paid for what the party had had, and asking for the paper tore it up. The resources of Cahirciveen, never very large, are severely taxed just now to support the troops stationed here under the command of Major Fors ter, 14th Regiment. The other evening a small farmer, living in the neighbourhood, was arrested for attempting to tamper with a private in the 14th and to adminster a Fenian oath. The farmer and soldier were drinking in a publichouse in the town, and the farmer was under the influence of liquor at the time. The soldier pretended to accept his ad vances, but informed the Sergeant-Major at the barrack, and when the prisoner was arrested a Tes tament was found in his possession, upon which it is supposed he meant to swear his convert. Yes terday morning this man and three prisoners, who had been identified as concerned in plundering the Coastguard station at }Cells, were sent off from here under an escort of soldiers and constabulary. A crowd of persons assembled to witness their de parture, and there were loud demonstrations of grief among the women and evident marks of sym pathy among the people. Not the slightest oppo sition, however, was offered to the removal of the prisoners, who were conveyed in safety along a most exposed road, without any molestation to the escort or attempt at rescue, and have been safely lodged in the prison of Tralee. Captain Segrave is the resident magistrate now stationed at Cahirciveen to act in concert with the military as the representative of the civil power. KILLARNEY, Saturday iguruing. I returned to this place last night from Cahirci veen. General Horsford and Staff are expected to return to-day from their visit to the out-stations. Colonel Budd is, meanwhile, in command of the troops here. Mr. 'Tracy, a reporter of the Cork Herald, has been arrested; during my absence for offering at the station here a telegraphic message of rumoured disaffection among the troops. There is no reason whatever to suppose that disaffection exists among the troops. But, in the absence of much solid information respecting the Fenian out break, sensational intelligence and vague, unauthen ticated rumours have too often been circulated by a small section of the Irish press. At the same time, I think it was unwise on the part of the authorities to arrest Mr. Tracy, who, by virtue of this arrest, will probably be made a martyr. A party of troops and constabulary went yester day in search of arms or rebels to Glenflesk. In this glen is a spot known as Filedown, or Robber's Cliff, and a cave called Leabey Owen, or Oiven'a Bed, which will hold 60 men with ease. The place is extremely difficult of access, and the situation most romantic. But neither Fenian men nor Fenian arms were found, and no trace of any. KILLARNEY, Sunday Evening. An unsucces.sful search for arms was made to-day in Killarney and in various farmhouses in the neightourhood. General llorcford and his Staff returned on Satur day from their tour of inspection. The supposed signal fires on the mountains on Friday night are believed to be satisfactorily ac counted for. • ' 4 -7/ OPENING OF THE NORTH GERMAN PARLIAMENT. SPEECH OF KING WILLIAM. BERLIN, Sunday. The first ses s i on o f t h e N orth German Parliament was opened to-day, in this capital, by the King of Prussia in person. On the right of the throne were the Crown Prince and the other Royal princes, with the exception of Prince Frederick Charles, who took his place among the members of the Parlia ment. On the left of the throne were the Federal plenipotentiaries, head e d b y C ount Bismarck, in military uniform. The Q ueen, t h e Crown Princess and her Royal Hi g h ness ' s e ld est sou, Princ e Fre derick Charles, Prince William of Baden, Prince Nicholas of Nassau, Prince Henry of Hesse, and almost all the diplomatic body were present, and the number of spectators was very great. The King of Prussia, who was received on entering with the most enthusiastic cheers, read the following Speech from the throne : "Illustrious, Noble, and Honourable Gentlemen of the North German Confederation. " I is an elevating moment in which I come among you. Mighty events have brought it about. Great hopes are bound up with it. I thank Divine Provi dence, which brought Germany towards the object desired by her people along roads we neither chose nor foresaw, for the privilege of giving expression to these hopes in community with au assembly such as has not surrounded any German prince for centuries. Relying upon this guidance, we shall attain that object all the earlier, the clearer we recognise, looking back upon the history of Ger many, the causes that have led us and our fore fathers away from it. " Formerlypowerful, great, and honoured, because united and guided by strong hands, the German empire did not sink into dissension and weakness without both its head and its members being in fault. Deprived of weight in the councils of Europe, of influence over her own history, Germany became the arena of the struggles of foreign Powers, for which she furnished the blood of her children, the battle-fields, and the prizes of combat. But the longing of the German people for what it had lost has never ceased, and the history of our time is filled with the efforts of Germany and the German people to regain the greatness of their past. If these efforts have hitherto not attained their object—if they have only increased dissension in place of healing it, because, people allowed them selves to be deceived by hopes or reminiscences as to the value of the present by ideals as to the im portance of facts—we recognise therefrom the neces sity of seeking the union of the German people in company with facts, and of not again sacrificing what is within our reach to what we may desire. " In this sense the allied Governments, in accord ance with former accustomed practice, have agreed upon a number of defined and limited but pratically important arrangements, as immeiliately possible as they are undoubtedly requisite. The draft of the Constitution that will be laid before you asks from the independence of individual States, for the benefit of the whole, only such sacrifices as are indispensable to protect peace, to guarantee the security of Fede ral territory, and the development of the prosperity of its inhabitants. " I have to thank my allies for the readiness with which they have met the requirements of the com mon fatherland. I express this gratitude with the consciousness that I, too, should have been found ready to display the same devotion to the general welfare of Germany, if Providence had not placed me as heir to the Prussian Crown, at the head of the most powerful State of the Confederation, and for that reason the one called to the leadership of the commonwealth. I feel myself, however, strong in the conviction that all the successes of Prussia have been at the same time towards the restoration and elevation of German power and honour. " Notwithstanding the general readiness, and although the mighty events of the pest year have convinced all men of the indisputable necessity of reconstructing the German Constitution--thus ren dering the public mind more favourably inclined towards such a measure than it was previously and perhaps might be at a Teter period again —we have anew perceived during the negociations how difficult is the task of attaining complete unanimity between so many independent governments, which have also in their concessions to bear in mind the views of their separate estates. The more, gentlemen, you realise these difficulties the more carefully I am convinced you will bear in mind, in your examina tion of the draft, the heavy responsibility of the dangers to the peaceful and legal execution of the work that has been commenced which might arise if the agreement arrived at with the governments upon the bill now laid before you could not again be obtained for the alterations demanded by the Parliament. The point of supreme importance at present is not to neglect the favourable moment for establishing the building ; its more perfect com pletion, then, safely remains entrusted to the sub sequent combined co-operation of the German So vereigns and races. " Regulation of the national relations of the North German Confederation towards our brothers south of the Maine has been left by the peace tree ies of last year to the voluntary agreement of bath parties. Our hands will be openly and readily ex tended to bring about this understanding as soon as the North German Confederation has advanced far enough in the settlement of its constitution to be empowered b conclude tre:Aies. The preservation of the Zollverein, the common promotion of trade, and a common guarantee for the security of Ger man territory, will form fundamental conditions of the understanding which it may be foreseen will be desired by both parties. " As the direction of the German mind generally is turned towards peace and its labours, the Confe derate Association of the German States will mainly assume a defensive character. The G:..Ttnan move ment of recent years has borne no hostile ten dency towards our neighbours, no striving after buti e las broad arisensolelyfrom the nece ss ity domains from the Alp s t o the sea affording th the fundamental conditions of political progress which._the march of development in former centuries has impeded. The German races unite only for defence, and not for attack, and that their brotherhood is also regarded in this light by adjacent nations is proved by the friendly attitude of the mightiest European States, which see Ger many, without apprehension and envy, take pos session of those same advantages of a great political commonwealth which they themselves have already enjoyed for centuries. • It, therefore, now only - depends upon us —upon our unity and our patriotism—to secure to entire Germany the guarantees of alukuye in which, free from the danger of again falling into dissension and weakness, she will be able to further by her own decision her constitutional developtient and pros perity, and to fulfil her peace-loving mission in the council of nations. I trust in God that posterity, looking back upon our common laboura, will not say that the experience of former unsucceosful attempts has been useless to the German people ; but that, on the other hand, our children will thankfully regard this Parliament as the commencement of the unity, freedom, and power of the Germans. " Gentlemen,—All Germany, even beyond the limits of our Confederation, anxiously awaits the decisions that may be arrived a here. May the dream (4 centuries, the yearning and striving of the youngest generations, be realised by our common work. In the name of all the allied Governments, in the name of Germany, I contidentlycal o l ut up th on e you to help us rapidly and safely to carry an great. national task. And may the a b ce lessing of accompany Godd, upon which everythiug depen ds, promote the patriotic work." Three times during the delivery of the S p eech his interruptel by loud cheers.
