THE ROMAN QUESTION. Subjoined are various diplomatic documents respecting the Roman question, taken from the Yellow Book just issued by the French Govern ment : The Minister for Foreign Affairs to the French Charge d'Affaires at Rome. (Telegram.) Paris, Oct. 17.—Let the Pontifical Government continue to defend itself energetically. The assis tance of France will not fail it. The Minister for Foreign Affairs to the French Charge at Florence. Paris, Oct. 18.—Monsieur,—In presence of the attack made by the revolutionary bands upon the Pontifical territory, I have considered it my duty to place you immediately in a position to inform M. Battazzi that the Emperor is greatly concerned at the inefficacy of the efforts of the Italian Go vernment to prevent these attacks, and I forwarded to you my telegram of the 11th inst. with this object. I have also communicated to M. Nigra his Majesty's uneasiness, and I have not concealed from the Italian Minister that in case the Florence cabinet should admit itself powerless to maintain respect for the convention of September, Art. I. of which has precisely the object of placing the Pontifical frontier beyond all attack, we should find ourselves in the painful necessity of supplying the protection wanting to the Holy See.—MousTlEß. The Minister for Foreign Affairs to the French Charge at Florence. (Telegram.) Paris, Oct. 19.—The King's Government has informed us it is determined to carry out the Con vention. Let it give proofs of this resolution by immediately suppressing the enlistment offices, by dissolving the aid committees, and issuing a pro clamation that all volunteers shall be arrested, disarmed, and interned. See M. Rattazzi, and reply at once. The French Charge at Florence to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. • (Telegram.) Florence, Oct. 20.—M. Rattazzi placed his re signation in the King's hands this evening. He will not receive, so he tells me, his Majesty's reply until to- morrow. Henceforth he considers himself as having resigned, and cannot enter into any engagement. He denies the existence of enlistment offices ; declares it is impossible for him to dissolve the aid committees, and that a proclamation to announce the arrest and disarmament of the volunteers is superfluous, in presence of the loyal disposition of the Government, and the repressive measures it does not cease to adopt. The Minister for Foreign Affairs to the French Charge at Rome. (Telegram.) Paris, Oct. 20.—We have fresh reasons for hoping that the Italian Government is about at last to take decisive measures to put an end to the in vasion of the Pontifical States. Let them continue at Rome to give proofs of vigilance and energy. The French Government, upon its part, is always ready to act if it should become really necessary. The Minister for Foreign Affairs to the French Charge at Florence. (Telegram.) Paris, Oct. 22.—The Pontifical authorities upon the frontier inform M. Armand that a park of artillery with cavalry and infantry are collecting in Sabina, towards Magliano and Correse, upon Italian territory, and that Garibaldians are marching in the same direction parallel with the royal troops. Endeavour to ascertain as soon as possible what accuracy there may be in these statements. The French Charge at Florence to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. (Telegram.) Florence, Oct. 22.—1 have been to M. Rattazzi, to whom I warmly and firmly insisted upon Gari baldi's arrest. M. Rattazzi, although having sent in his resignation, appeared perfectly to under stand the reasons I thought it my duty to offer in support of this step. lie went to the King, and has just told me orders were about to be given to arrest Garibaldi, who left Florence immediately after his speech, on the way, it is thought, to Foligno. The Government explains the concen tration of troops, of which your Excellency speaks, by orders previously given in view of an occu pation by the Italians of the States of the Church. M. Rattazzi assures me that 1,200 volunteers have repassed the frontier, and that orders have been sent to disarm them. They are reported to be discouraged, and to have been beaten in every en counter. The French Charge at Florence to the Minister for'l'oreign Affairs. (Telegram.) Florence, Oct. 21.—The members intended to form a portion of the new Cabinet have not yet been able to agree upon several points of their political programme. General Cialdini has ex pressed to me his fear of being unable to subdue the popular impulse. This apprehension seems to me to have much influence upon his resolutions. He hesitates to assume the responsibility of power. The Ministerial crisis continues. Garibaldi is re ported to have succeeded in crossing the frontier, the orders of arrest having► been evaded, or found impossible to execute. He is said to be now at the head of bands stated at about 5,000 strong. The French Charge at Florence to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Florence, Oct. 25.—M. le Marquis,—M. Rat tazzi has chosen to persist up to the last moment in the policy he has followed since his entry into power, especially since the prorogation of Parlia ment and the avowed preparations of the revolu tionists to attack the Holy See. All his efforts have constantly tended to indulge the advanced party. 'Thus it was only with hesitation, and when constrained, so to speak, by public opinion, that he gave the order for Garibaldi's arrest. This step immediately received the approbation of the majo rity of the country. Although to-day it would have had the important results expected if it had been frankly executed, and if from weakness or some other motive the Cabinet had not consented to leave Garibaldi free at Caprera. Dating from that day the preparations for invasion were rapidly resumed; the papers published proclamation after proclamation, signed by Garibaldi and his chief officers. Moveable enlistment offices were estab lished everywhere, and propaganda was actively made to excite the public mind, and urge the young to the frontier. It was thus that the Gari- baldian volunteers succeeded in organizing them selves in bands, in attacking various points of the Pontifical territory, and in attempting to arouse the country. Everywhere repulsed, these bands nevertheless continued to re-form under shelter of the lines guarded by the Italian army. The fall of the Rattazzi ministry added to the confusion. In the midst of these difficulties, and during this absence of government, we learnt with surprise Garibaldi's escape, his arrival upon the mainland, then suddenly his presence in Florence, where he pronounced one of his most furious harangues be fore a considerable crowd. Afterwards this pri soner, who was guarded by seven ships of war at Caprera, was seen to take a special train for Terni, and arrive there without experiencing the slightest hindrance from the authorities. The orders of ar rest forwarded to the prefects of Foligno and of Terni remained unexecuted on account, it is pre tended, of the rapid march of Garibaldi, who soon gained the frontier, and put himself at the head of the united bands of Menotti and some other c hi e f s . The Cabinet that has resigned, which still however continues its functions, and meets every day several times, under the presidency of M. Rattazzi, says it has no longer the right to take any steps, while General Cialdini, having no organized administration, declares upon his part it is im possible for him to act. This abnormal and peril ous situation still prevails. The character and position of General Cialdini might have justified the hope of prompt and energetic measures of order. Unfortunately, in two interviews I have had with him, I am forced to state with regret that he has not hitherto appeared decided to suppress the revolutionary movement with energy, and it ;s necessary to know the men who will be called upon to give him their support before pronouncing upon the line of conduct he will adopt.—Receive, Lth. VaLL.SII.I;UZ. The Minister for Foreign Affairs to the French Charge at Florence. (Celegram.) - Paris, Oct. 25.—The nature of the conversations you have had with General Cialdini has caused me a warm feeling of surprise and regret. There is at present only one question. Italy has under taken solemn engagements towards us ; does she mean to keep them ? Her honour and her interests are involved. It is not by hesitation and indulgence towards the revolutionary party, but in repressing it energetically and immediately, that the Italian Government will secure its good relations with France, as well as its own prestige and authority. From what you tell me it is unfortunately clear that the Cialdini ministry will not succeedin con stituting itself, and after that we must see what is to be done. The French Charge at Florence to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. (Telegram.) Florence, Oct. 26.—General Cialdini this morn ing declined the task of forming a Cabinet. It is not known whom the King will now send for, but it is thought his Majesty will summon General Menabrea. The French Charge at Rome to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. (Telegram.) _____ Rome, Oct. 26.—There has been no attempt at a movement in Rome since Tuesday. Yesterday, however, discovery was made of a quantity of arms and munitions, and of sixty Garibaldians who had made their way into Trastevere. Sixteen of their number were killed, the remainder wounded and taken prisoners. Outside Rome the forward movement of the Garibaldian columns is becoming marked. Upon the north an attack upon Bag norea was repulsed yesterday upon the north-east numerous bands freely cross the frontier, and march upon Viterbo ; upon the south the corps of Nicotera is encamped at eight kilometres from Frosinone ; upon the east, a telegram from Florence announces that Monte Rotondo has been taken, but nothing is known of the fate of the garrison. It is certain that a numerous body of Garibaldians have taken up a position in advance of that town at twenty kilometres from Rome ; not more than 1,000 Ponti ficals can be sent against them. Although ex hausted by fatigue, the army will do its duty to the end ; nevertheless, even the calmest minds are be coining uneasy. The French Charge at Florence to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. (Telegram.) Florence, Oct. 28.—General Menabrea has de finitively formed his ministry. Henceforth it is permitted to hope that the members of the Cabinet, well known for energy and true patriotism, will desire to enter frankly upon a course more confor mable to the engagements of the country. The'Same to the Same. (Telegram.) Florence, Oct. 28.—General Menabrea informs me that the new Cabinet enters into power with the firm intention of proving to the Emperor's Go vernment that it intends loyally to execute the engagements undertaken by Italy. It has issued a proclamation it believes calculated to leave no doubt upon this point. It is about to take severe measures against the recruitment, the organization, and the passage of the volunteers across the frontier. It hopes that these arrangements will have the effect of causing the majority of those now upon Pontifical territory to return. PASTORAL LETTER OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF WESTMINSTER. The following is a Pastoral Letter of the Right Rev. Dr. Manning, Archbishop of Westminster : To the Clergy, Secular and Regular, and the Faithjid of the said Diocese. Health and Benediction in the Lord. Rev. and dear Brethren, and dear Children in Jesus Christ,—By command of the Sacred Congre gation we make known to you the decision of the holy See, given on the 6th of August last, on the question whether it b 3 permitted to Catholic pa rents to send their sons to the national universities of this country. In order to make the subject more clearly understood, it will be well to relate in a few words how this question has arisen. About five years ago, when changes in the law had thrown open the national universities to Ca tholics, a proposal was made for the founding of a Catholic college in Oxford. The subject was referred to the bishops, who unanimously decided, first, that the founding of such a college could not be sanctioned, and secondly, that Catholic parents ought to be in every way dissuaded from sending their sons to Protestant universities. This decision was approved by the Holy See, and was published by the bishops in England in March, 1865. Nevertheless, this act of authority did not suffi ciently reach, it would seem, the knowledge of the laity. And some were still under the misap prehension that the Holy See had not disapproved the practice of Catholics frequenting the universi ties. In order to correct this misapprehension the bishops again treated of the question at their meeting in Low Week of this year. They were unanimous in confirming their decision in 1865, and were of opinion that the decision was already so strong and explicit as to render any further decla ration on their part unnecessary. But inasmuch as doubts and misunderstandings had existed, they resolved on two points—first, that a fuller and more general publication of their former decision should be made to the faithful; and secondly, that the clergy should be enjoined, with obligation of conscience, to dissuade by all means any Catholic parents who might be tempted to send their sons to the universities. This resolution was approved by the Holy See in the month of August last, and a letter was ad dressed to the bishops by the Cardinal Prefect of the Sacred Congregation, from which the following words are taken : "You will clearly explain in your Pastoral Let ter the doctrine of the Church about avoiding the dangers of mortal sin ; to which no one without grievous sin can expose himself, unless under the pressure of serious and adequate necessity, and unless such precautions be employed as may remove the proximate danger of sin. In the present case, where, as his holiness has declared, those who frequent the universities incur an intrinsic and most grievous danger to purity of morals, as well as to faith (which is absolutely necessary to salva tion), who can fail to see that it is next to impos sible to discover circumstances which would allow Catholics without sin to attend non-Catholic uni versities ? " The light and unstable minds of youth ; the errors which in such institutions are imbibed, almost through the atmosphere, without being counteracted by more solid doctrine ; the very great power which human respect and the taunts of companions exercise upon young men ; lead them so readily and so immediately into the danger of falling, that generally no sufficient reason can be conceived why young men should be entrusted to these universities. Such being the case, you in your wisdom will so use the arguments of autho rity and reason in publishing the letter, that it may at length be clearly seen, as well by all the clergy as by the faithful, what it is their duty to think and to do in this most grave matter." The Sacred Congregation in these words enjoins us to explain to the faithful the sin of exposing our youth to the danger of losing or of weakening their faith. Now faith is a grace of the Holy Spirit, and therefore a supernatural gift of God. It is infused into us in Baptism together with hope and charity, and it consists in a spiritual habit which heals the wound inflicted by original sin upon the intellect, and assists it to believe the revelation of super natural truth. This grace or gift of God is vital to our salvation. As the body without the soul is dead, so the soul without faith is dead likewise. The Council of Trent describes the working of actual grace, whereby the adult is brought step by step to desire the regeneration of Baptism. The catechumen, in coming to be baptised, is asked what he seeks of the Church of God. He answers, Faith. 'Phis faith ig infused into his 601,11 by J3ap. THE SUN, LONuON. TUESOAY EVENING, DECEMBER 3, 1%7. tism. It is the first of the three theological vir tues ; that is, of the three spiritual habits infused into the soul by the Holy Ghost, whereby it is united with God. The Council then declares that faith is " the beginning of the salvation of man, the foundation and root of all justification." In this we see its inestimable worth. It is a gift of God and therefore beyond our natural reach and powers. It is vital to our union with God, and therefore to eternal life. It is a grace of the Holy Ghost, and therefore of a delicate and sensi tive nature, needing all fidelity and watchfulness to preserve it inviolate. It is " the beginning of our salvation ;" for without faith it is impossible to please God ; that is, to know Him as He has revealed Himself to us, and therefore to love Him as we ought. It is the foundation of all justifica tion, because the charity of God is poured forth only into hearts where faith is. It is the root of our justification, because hope and charity spring from it, and are nurtured by it to our sanctifi cation in justice. It is faith which gives us light to know God, His truth and His will, His revela tion and His kingdom. It acts in the soul by four new intellectual gifts, which fill the soul with a speculative and practical knowledge of God. It bestows upon the soul certain intuitions and in stincts, by which it is united and conformed to the truth and will of God. The gifts of intellect and wisdom, of science and counsel, all depend for their exercise upon the habit of faith. Between the soul illuminated by faith and the truths of re velation there is a conformity and a correspon dence which may be called a sympathy and a harmony, so that when the doctrines of the Church are proposed to a soul illuminated by the virtue of faith, they are received with a predispo sition that is a promptness and a piety of heart. This is true of all the faithful. It is true of the child, whose mind first opens to the truths of the Creed. It is true of the theologian, studying re velation as a science. Let it be observed that we are speaking of faith not as the matter of our be lief, but as the spiritual habit of the soul, by which we are moved to believe. Now in both these senses it is a gift of God and a grace of the Holy Ghost, the most precious because the most vital to our whole spiritual life. It were better for us never to have received it than to lose it. It were better for us to die than to run voluntarily into the danger of losing it. The grace of faith may be lost, just as the grace of humility, sincerity, and purity, and the like. Every grace may be lost by the sin which is oppo site to its nature. Any mortal sin will destroy sanctifying grace. A mortal sin of charity expels the love of God from the soul ; a mortal sin of despair extinguishes hope ; a mortal sin of unbelief destroys faith. Now there are two ways in whibh this may be done—the one is by destroying in the soul its belief of the Catholic truths and doctrines one by one ; the other is by weakening and paralysing the habit of faith. We are all promptly aware of the sin and danger of tampering with Catholic doctrines ; but many are not equally alive to the danger of exposing the habit of faith to in fluences contrary to its nature and to its vitality. Faith gives to the soul a certain intensity, cer tainty, and firmness in believing, and in adhering to the objects believed. St. Paul describes this power of faith as enabling us to look, " not at the things which are seen, but to the things which are not seen," and to see " Him who is invisible ;" and he defines faith to be " the substance of things hoped for," that is, it makes them tangible and palpable, as if they were objects of sense. Dear brethren and children in Jesus Christ, you will need no words to remind you how vividly a Catholic child is penetrated by this habit and illumination of faith, and how, as the reason and heart unfold in the atmosphere and light of the Catholic Church, this consciousness of the pre sence of God in the world and all its operations, in the Church and all its endowments, in the Blessed Sacrament and all its graces, of the whole faith with all its realities, becomes more certain and controlling than the objects of sense. You carefully and jealously guard and nourish your faith by every help which can sustain and perfect it. You make it a conscience to turn aside, as if blind and deaf, from all solicitations to doubt, and from all persons or influences which can chill or cloud, weaken or paralyse, the habit of faith in your hearts. Anything which could make it less firm, less certain, less intense, you would regard in the highest degree as a danger. To expose yourselves willingly to it you would know to be a sin. On this principle you test books, friends, in timacies. What you cannot avoid you meet with an attitude of self-defence ; what you can avoid, you feel bound in duty and prudence for your own sake, in fidelity and gratitude to our Divine Redeemer, tory from with all vigilance and self denial. The rule you lay down for yourselves you every day apply all the more carefully to your children, because you know them to be less able to protect themselves than you are--less mature, more flexible, more unstable. Now, though the grace of faith may be des troyed only by its proper opposite, that is of un belief, yet the firmness, certainty, intensity, the intuitions, the instincts, the sensitiveness, the deli cacy of faith may be destroyed by intellectual and moral opposites which fall far short of unbe lief. Criticism, curiosity, rashness in questioning, objecting, and speculating, self-onfidence, con ceit, dependence on self, adhesion to private judge ment, ridicule, sarcasm, satire, levity and mocking, the penetrating and secret influence of cultivated un-Catholic minds, much more of sceptical and rationalistic minds—all these act powerfully in the country to enfeeble and to paralyse the faith of Catholics. There are three chief agencies which act with immense power and subtilty upon our faith in England : public opinion, the press, and Protestant education. The last is the most dan gerous, because is the most creative, and acts upon the minds of our people at an age when they are least able to resist it. Of all the forms of edu cation in this country hostile to the habit of faith, none can be conceived so powerful, so subtile, so fascinating, and so assimilating as the system of our national universities. Many are fully alive to the dangers which threaten the morals of youth in systems so lax and undisciplined, but the dan ger to faith is still more menacing and inevitable. Let it be always borne in mind that it is not only infidelity, or rationalism, or scepticism, or partial unbelief that we have to guard against. We are bound to protect our youth from everything that can enfeeble the vigour and vitality of their faith, or dim the intuitions, or deaden the instincts of their intellect and their conscience. There would be a terrible future before us, if the Catholic men of the next generation were to grow up acclima- tised to the latitudinarianism or indifferentism of public opinion, or toned down to the lowest] stan dard of necessary Catholic doctrine. Such inevi tably would be the state in which, if any escape, the greater part of our Catholic youth would come forth from our national universities. We therefore, in obedience to the Holy See, enjoin you, reverend and dear brethren, to use your utmost endeavours to restrain Catholic parents, if any indeed be found, desirous of sending their sons to the national universities. On you as their teachers and guides this duty is im posed with strict obligation of conscience. And your pastoral care will vigilantly watch over those who are in danger of being misled or fascinated by public opinion, or fashion, or unwise counsel in this matter. You will labour to train your flocks ac cording to the maxim of St. Ignatius, not only to believe and to love with the Church, but to think and to feel in accordance with its mind and spirit. From you they will learn to prize the sensitive and filial faith of a Catholic, as seven fold more precious than intellectual culture and worldly advantages. No intellectual gain would compensate for the loss not of faith indeed, but of the instincts, intuitions and delicate fidelity of a Catholic spirit. Over these you will watch with vigilance, and warn all, both parents and sons, of the peril and sin of voluntarily exposing to risk this great grace of our regeneration. It is no doubt true that a fuller and more pro longed course of higher studies, under the guid auce of the Catholic Church, hs needed by our youth. And this we may confidently expect the Catholic Church in England will provide. Fifty years ago it had hardly a college in England. In fifty years it has formed six greater and seven lesser colleges, as well as a whole system of schools for the poor. Every year adds to the ex tent, maturity, and excellence of the studies. The sap is rising, and the old tree is throwing out once more the full spread of its branches. It is only a question of time when the University in Ireland shall obtain its full recognition, and an university in England be founded. The arch is ready to re ceive its keystone. Fifty years ago who would have ventured to believe what we see at this day in our multitude of colleges and schools? Fifty years hence Catholics will look back in like man ner upon us. We must be firm and zealous in our day, as our predecessors were, and posterity will complete our beginnings. May every good and perfect gift from the Father of Lights be with you, to guide you in the way of truth.

Now that the Garibaldians have been so thoroughly beaten, I do not think they will ever lattempt to come to Rome again. The position of the Pope has of course been immensely improved by the way things have turned out. It still seems very doubtful how matters will end in Italy, and everyone expects a revolution. Rome, however, is quite safe ; as we have enough French to defend it, or even to carry on war, if the Italians are foolish enough to go to war with France. lam delighted to see such enthusiasm everywhere for the Zouaves, for they have really turned out well and fought admirably. Their numbers are increasing every day, and we have now nearly three thousand. At present there are two thousand prisoners, and among them nearly two hundred who are wounded, who have been brought into Rome. They have established a hospital for them at St. Onofrio. Our own wounded are likewise about two hundred, so that there is plenty to do still. I went with X and Z to-day to Monte Rotondo to see some of the wounded Garibaldians who could not be brought into Rome. They are, however, doing well, and have been to confession. The horrors that were committed in the church were awful. They de stroyed everything, covered the altars with filth, and the Tabernacle was broken open. One man who was killed in the battle was found with the lunette of the monstrance, with the Blessed Sacra ment in it ; and on others were found bits of ciboriums or chalices that had been broken up. Fortunately, this has all come to an end, and except the prisoners, there is not a single Garibaldian in the Pontifical States." " Nov. 14.—We have had a terrible time of it lately, and if the French had not intervened we should probably have all been massacred. At least, it was the holy intention of the Garibaldians to massacre all the priests, and sack all the churches. Garibaldi was at Monte Rotondo with 10,000 men. Viterbo, Velletri, and Tivoli were occupied by Garibaldians. Their plan was to make a rendezvous at Rome, to meet at the gates at the same time. Most of the barracks had been undermined, and under them were barrels of gunpowder. In every quarter of Rome were concealed a vast number of arms—guns, pistols, daggers, hatchets, Orsini bombs. The guards of one of the gates had been bought over. All the worst characters in Rome had been bribed, so that when the Garibaldians were outside an insurrection was to have been got up inside Rome. Fortunately, the French came in just in time to save us. Our escape has been quite providential. It is true that our little army has behaved admirably, but it could not have saved us. As it was, they were obliged to leave all the pro vinces in the hands of the Garibaldians. The Roman question is that which God alone can settle, as He has done on this occasion. He moved Napoleon to intervene, and his troops arrived only just in time ; £0 I think He will direct events in such a manner that all will come right in the end." BRITONS, STRIKE HOME! The meeting to be held in St. James's Hall on Wednesday evening, will be a successful demon stration, in proportion as the English Catholic public realizes its true position in the common wealth of this country. We anticipate, there fore, with confidence, that the tone of the speeches to be made, and the numbers who will assemble there, will reflect credit on us as a body. We believe it will vindicate our character as being not behind the age in which our lot is cast—not unable (as says Napoleon III.) to comprehend our epoch. If there be one thing which has always com manded the respect, and elicited the sympathy of Englishmen, it is an outspoken honesty of prin ciple on public occasions. Men like to know about their fellow-men what:they really mean, how far they personally mean what their principles seem to pledge them to, or--as the common phrase runs —" where to find them." When this has been ascertained, with regard to Catholics, by plain, unmistakable Catholic utterances, a considerable portion of non-Catholic prejudice and antipathy has been disarmed. For there does exist, though most groundlessly, an impression which has made itself felt in the popular tradition regarding the Church, that the Catholic mind has more than its share of arriere pensees reticence—to use the thrice slain Kingsley's word—economy. We are supposed to be not a little economical and diplomatic. Hence the floating opinion about us seems a kind of converse of Burke's very questionable statement, that vice loses half its evil by losing all its gross ness. Popery would be felt to have lost half its evil by losing all its assumed finesse. Various causes have combined to produce this impression of our reticence.

We quote from the "Gazette du Midi," July 25th :—" Rome, July 21, 1866.—" The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabic.% Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal.

The Hon. Andrew H. Green has declined all in vitations to become a candidate for the position of Mayor of New York. Mrs. Sumner has returned to America, after her brief absence in Europe. Great men often find it more difficult to rule their wives than to rule a nation, and ono of the bores of being a great man is, that when a little domestic difficulty arises it is very apt to find its way into the papers. It is a happy thing fur society at Washingion that this reconciliation has been effected before the meeting of Congress, as it re-opens one of the most hos pitable houses in that city. Israel Washburne, jun., formerly a Representa tive, and also a Governor of Maine, but now Collector of Portland, has been writing in favour of the establishment of equal suffrage throughout the Union. A fund is being raised for the family of the late Governor Andrew, in Boston, which is sure to be $50,000, and may reach $lOO,OOO. Governor Andrew was a heavy loser in his public capacity, as the time was taken from Lis professional avocations, and his family have in consequence been left though not destitute, still not well off. It is a noble gift, which will reflect honour on the modern Athens. Prince Salm-Sahn, with the other Austrian pri soners of war in Mexico, have been liberated.

Chief Justice Bigelow has determined to resign his post and retire into private life. He has accepted in his retirement the management of the Massachusetts Hospital Life Insurance Company of Boston, said to be the most splendid sinecure in the Republic.

The hutia of Naples announces that the Marquis Filiase has committed suicide by cutting his throat. General Schofield is acting vigorously. Besides arresting the black incendiaries he suppressed two prize fights, arranged to come off at Fort Albany, Virginia, early on the 12th inst. A body of troops marched to the spot, surrounded the crowd, arrested and locked up eighty, who were discharged, with the assurance that it would be a druM-head affair if again caught. It is thus that the United States authorities deal with law-breakers. The following is from the Springfield Republican, and as we believe there is somo cause for dissatisfaction we will send the paragraph marked to the person chiefly concerned ; and if wo receive no answer, comment more fully upon it in our next issue :—" The total value of the property of the late Artemus Ward will fall inside of $16,000. It was generally supposed that it would amount to some $40,000 or $50,000, and many friends of the deceased are not satisfied with the way in which his affairs were managed after his death." General Santa Anna, on his arrival at Havannah was immediately involved in a suit for debt.

Colonel James Belger has been reinstated in the United States army by proclamation of the President. The correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, in his conversation with Senator Wade, alludes to a re mark that "there was no coolness between him and Chief Justice Chase." The story of the alleged coolness is given by the New York Nation. Mr. Wade was requested by Mr. Chase, in 1860, to sound the House and Senate to see what his (Mr. Chase's) chances of the nomination at Chicago were. Mr. Wade kindly did so, and found that there was only one man in the Senate and only a few in the House who wanted Mr. Chase for President, and he accordingly sent word to the latter, in his own simple language, "that the thing looked a little blue." The accuracy of this report was shortly afterwards tested by "Dick Par sons," who arrived, and in his turn " did a little prospect ing." Mr. Chase, then, when the convention was abcut to meet, asked Mr. Wade to resign in his favour, but Mr. Wade very properly declined to resign before anybody had nominated him. The result of this was that Mr. Chase got it into his head that Mr. Wade wanted to de feat him and prevent his nomination, but nothing can be more unfounded. Consequently, if any enemies of free Government have been building any hopes on the prospect of arraying these two eminent men against each other in a Presidential canvass they are doomed to bitter dis appointment .

It is not denied — indeed it is boasted of as true. This places consular duties in a new light, duties which have hitherto been deemed civil and neutral." Mr. Smith of the Girard College, Philadelphia, has been removed by the directors, for his barbel ous treatment of the pupils under his charge. The facts that have come to light of his cruelty are said to be very shocking. Flake's Galveston (Texas) Bulletin says—" T he doctrine of repuliation finds few friends in any walk of life, and none among honest men. The American people has courage enough to fight the war to its end, and well have courage enough to pay the cost to the last cent of the bill."
