On the 13th of June, 1865, it was admitted unanimously in the House of Commons that the condition of London, as regards Paving, Lighting, and Cleansing, was disgraceful. No improvement has taken place. The Traffic of London becoines every day more un manageable. The Public Vehicles are inferior to those of Provincial and Continental Cities. This Society has been formed to stimulate public atten tion ; to collect, condense, and make known facts ; to point out defects in the law ; to enforce provisions at iipresent neglected ; a n d t o wa t c h Bill s i n t ro d uce d i n t o Par liament on these subjects. The London Street Reform Society is not pledged to support any specific change in the Government of the Metropolis. Those who maw wish to join the Society nre requested to write to J. S.

(Hear, hear.) In con clusion, the hon. gentleman urged all present to show their love and loyalty to the Holy Father by doing all that they could, not only in earnest prayer to Almighty God, but by their subscriptions, to sup port his Holiness in the present time of trial and difficulty. (Applause.) It was encouraging to know that although disposs !ssed of more than two thirds of his dominions, and hating yet to meet the necessary expenses in connection with the Church, on the whole. the Pope had so far been enabled to meet with punctuality and pay to the uttermost penny every demand that was made upon ym— (cheers)—whilst the Government of Victor Em manuel was on the very verge of bankruptcy.

And they did so on this ground, that . it was inimi ca l t' ) t h e i nterest of England— considering the influence which the Pope exercised, and the high estimation in which he was held in the hearts of so many thousands of English subjects— it might be dangerous to the interests of this country to al'ow his Holiness to be the subject of a foreign prince. '(Beat-, hear.) So it was that Protestant E:igland helped to bring back the Pope to his domi nions, and there was an end of the project of Napo leon I.; it broke against the rock of Peter, and there was an end of it. The speaker referred, as another instance of the intervention of God in maintaining the supremacy of the pontificate, to the incidents which marked the abdication and restoration of the present Pope Pius IX. It was said when the present Pontiff left Rome that that was the last of the Papacy ; that the temporal power of the Pope was at an end. But what hap pened? Why, his Holiness was afterwards brought back and restored to his deminions by the very Power which nearly everybody said was the least likely to do it—the French Republic. (Hear, hear.) It was that circumstance which caused France and the present Emperor of the French, the successor of the First Napoleon, to undertake the duty of pro tecting the Holy See—the duty of protecting the temporal interests of the Pope. The recent events which had happened since Napoleon undertook the duty w•3ze well knovn to.4 , liem. They had no doubt read of the treachery and dishonesty practised by Victor Emmanuel, which had enabled him to take possession of n large portion of the Pope's dominions, so that now only a, small remnant was left t o hi m . Butyet what did we see ? It had been currently re ported in many of the Protestant newspapers that the moment the support of the French troops was withdrawn frrm Rome the Pope would have to flee, that the cardinals would have to be put to death, the clergy massacred, and the whole spiritual power of the Pope at an end. But what was the fact ? Why, although the Emperor of France had decided to withdraw the protection he had so long afforded by the presence of his soldiers, he yet at the same time said to the Pope, through his representative, the general in command, that though he w ithd rew hi s troops he did not withdraw his protection, and that if any attempt was made against the Government of his Holiness to telegraph to him at once, and his soldiers should march back again. (Cheers.) Since then his Holiness has appeared in public, with no other than a small personal escort, and with not a single French soldier to be seen in the whole city, and he was received by the people with the most en thusiastic demonstrations of affectionate veneration and esteem. (Cheers) This should inspire them with renewed hope and lead them all, who were true Catholics, to look less gloomy than they bad done with respect to the future of the Holy See. (Hear, hear, and applause.) There was another point to which he would just refer. It had been the fashion to attack the Emperor of the French, and to heap abuse upon him. Now, he thought that was very indiscreet, to say the least of it. They did not know what reasons had induced him to take the course which he had, and which they all condemned, that of permitting the Piedmontese Government' to take possession of some of the Papal States. It was to be hoped that when he thus gave his consent to the part spoliation of the dominions of the Holy See that he was influenced by some motives, or some power, with which they were unacquainted, that to some extent justified his so doing. He had promised still to protect the Holy Father, if necessary, in his posi tion, and, therefore, let them give the Emperor credit for good intentions in the matter until they found from what might trap Tire in the future that LES DRAGONS DI WU, telS (Opera Comigne), Music by A.

Prioe is. 81—Red Bull Wharf, 93, Upper Thames-street, London. Yesterday workmen were engaged in repairing and strengthening in various ways the screen which separates the nave of the Palace from what was the Tropical Department, but is now a mass of rulns. This is being done in order to make the building weather tight at that point, and so to promot e the comfort of visitors. To carryout this object the more effectually an additional but temporary sc-zeen will be forthwith erected, about 25ft. further nurth than the main screen, thus rendering the Palate more imper meable to the elements in thatquarter. It needhardly be stated that the havoc caused by the fire has mate rially destroyed ther;lneral symmetry of the fabric. This is at once manifest to any one who sees the building in its present state from the railway or the grounds. In the meantime all the various persons concerned in the interest and care of the Palace, from Mr. Bowley, the manager, and Mr. Grove, the secretary, downwards, are doing their utmost to repair the disaster, so far as it lies with them to do so, and seem prepared to profit by the lesson it has taught them and all concerned in the future pro tection of the fabric from fire. With respect to the canvas hose, to which resort was had in the first instance in hurry, on the first outbreak of the fire, and which proved unequal to the emergency at a critical period, they explain that it was only the hose ordinarily used for watering the plants, and that there was proper leathern hose in the building for use in case of fire. Again, as to the allegation that the supply of water was at first provokingly languid, Mr. Bowley, the manager, who lives in the immediate neighbourhood of the Palace, and reached the building in ten minutes after the first alarm was given, states that on three different occasions when he was assisting in extinguishing the fire in the Tropical Department he was nearly thrown down by the force of the water, with which he was drenched from a hose while it was being shifted from place to place, and he declares his conviction that with such amazing rapidity did the fire spread from the place in which it originated, along the woodwork lining in the sides and roof in which the glazing was secured, that no means, however effective, could have in the first instance arrested oats, we ls erior sorts -slue.

That, however, is a matter upon which opinion may differ ; but as to the supply of water, probably both the objectors and Mr. Bowley are in the right, though with this difference—that the latter speaks of a time when the water had been turned fully on after the arrival of Mr. Rose, the engineer, who made that his first duty, whereas the complainants refer to an earlier period, before the mains had been turned on, and when, as they state, the water required to be coaxed and cajoled.

D.D=, N0.:22 % , FilisbUry-CirCUPIZa • A brief report of Sir George Bowyer's speech at Wolverhampton on Tuesday has already been printed. A further account is now given. The hon. bart. said that when their respected pastor, the Rev. J. Kelly, informed him that he was at liberty to choose his own subject on which to address them that evening, he felt not one moment's hesitation in complying with his request. (Applause.) For there was one subject which now occupied the minds of men throughout the civilised world on which he felt that he should like to speak to them. The subject to which he referred did not affect in any way those other great questions of prestige in Europe, as to whether this great kingdom or the other great king dom should obtain a preponderance over the rest. No, it was a question regarding the future of a very small slip of country, with but one seaport, with a population that did not exceed in number that of some of our great cities, with no manufactures, no mineral wealth, with no resources of its own, and which of itself was insignificant and might almost pass unnoticed. He said insignificant, and he meant politically and socially, though there was still an interest connected with it which would ever be at tached to remnants of antiquity. But in that small territory, that poor little State, was the centre of Christendom, the head of the universal Church on earth, for there resided the Supreme Pontiff, the Vicar of Christ. (Loud cheers.) He was there in two capacities—as the Bi shop of Rome—the successor of St. Peter, the representative of Christ on earth, and the Head of His Church—and he was there in the capacity of King of that country—ltaly—the last remnant of which alone had been spared to him by those who had robbed him of the greater portion of his domi nions. Now this brought him to the subject on which he was about to briefly address them. To say that the union of the temporal sovereignty with the spiritual supremacy was a • necessity would be an error in history, and almost a heresy in theology. It would be an error in his tory, because, as many of them were aware, there had been Popes who had been vicars of Christ, and possessing all the spiritual power of the ponti ficate, but who yet had not been sovereigns. It would almost be heresy in theology, because the supreme pontificate, being a Divine institution, it did not need any human adjunct. Just let them look for a few moments at the historical part of the question--let them look into what was termed the logic of facts, and they would then the better un derstand the bearings of the question. In the first place, the independence of the pontificate above all other earthly powers was necessary for the proper fulfilment of those high duties and functions belong ing to that sacred office. Now, just let them see how that independency had been secured by the mysteri ous working of Almighty God. Of course, if it bad so pleased Almighty God, tie might have adopted some other means to maintain the supremacy of the pontificate than those to which he was about to refer them. But when they found Almighty God using particular means for successive centuries for the attainment of particular ends, he thought it was not too much to say that it vas the will of God that that end should be attained by those means. He thought even their Protestant friends would admit that that principle was a sound one. Now, it had been often said, and was recorded in history, that the supre macy of the pontificate was secured first by martyr dom, and secondly by its sovereignty. When the first ceased then the sovereignty of the Pope com menced. The first Popes vindicated their supre macy with the shedding of their blood, and the next by their sovereignty. They also found, as recorded in history, that this sovereignty continued through many centuries, and it was preserved in a most remarkable manner. He knew it was usual for Protestant writers to make answer to this argument by saying that the independence of the Pope, as secured by his sovereignty, was a delusion, because in his sovereign capacity he had always been moreorless under the protection of some other temporal sovereign. But to show how ab surd was the notion on this subject, he would mention a somewhat remarkable fact. He (the speaker) met at Rome a few years ago a most eminent diplo matist, who now occupies one of the principal embassies abroad, and this eminent personage said to him, "Before I came to Rome I always thoug the management of the ecclesiastical affairs of the Church, as well as the temporal, were under the influence of the particular sovereign power who had the pontificate under its protection—influenced by the will and authority of sometimes one sovereign and sometimes another. I always was under the impression that the temporal interest had great in fluence in the Pope's councils, and in the manage ment of the Church generally, and that whatever sovereign exercised a temporal power in protecting the interests of the Holy See also exercised great sway in the management of the Church in its eccle- M ANSION-HOUSE FUND for the RELIEF -‘-vA- of fh© SUFFERERS by the recent COLLIERY EXPLOSIONS.

SUBSCRIPTIONS are greatly needed to relieve the numerous families made destitute thereby. The amount required to meet the memorable Hartley Colliery Accident in 1862 was £50,000; in that case 204 men and boys lost their lives; in the present instance double that number aro known to have perished, there fore to make a suitable provision for the families depen dent upon them about £lOO,OOO will be needed. At the final distribution of the surplus of the Hartley Fund, £3,140 was allotted to the districts in which the present accidents occurred, and this sum is now available towards the fund now being raised.

I had not been long in Rome, however, before I found out that was a great mis take ; that, in fact, it was not so, and that although the Pope had the assistance of French bayonets to assist in protecting his temporal interests, yet that the Emperor Napoleon has no greater influence in the management of the Church in its ecclesiastical JOSEPH GIBBS, Secretary.

(Applause.) It was the same, too, with regard to the neighbouring kingdom of Austria. So that the pro tection or assistance afforded to the Pope by other sovereigns merely referred to the temporal interests of the pontificate, and never exercised any influence over his Holiness whatever in regard to his spiritual functions. (Hear, hear.) Now, insupport of his argu ment, be would just take a rapid review of some of the principal events in the history of the last few years, as illustrative of the special intervention of God for the protection of the Holy See, and for the mainte nance of the Pope's supremacy.

In furtherance of that plan he made Pope Pius VI. a prisoner, took possession of the dominions over which he ruled as a temporal sovereign, and made his (Napoleon's) own son King of Rome. But what was the result ? Pope Pius VI. died, and then it was the anxious wish of Napoleon that Cardinal Fieschi should be Pope, as he thought he would be a willing instrument in his hands, and thus the pontificate would be subservient to the empire.

Napoleon fell ; and then the Pontiff, who had since his election been living in exile, was brought back to his dqminions, and the most remarkable thing W af3 that no less a he was not sincere in what he said. (Hear, hear.) Although he (the speaker) had now occupied more of their time than he ought to have done—(cries of " Go on")—yet there was one portion of the sub ject which he could not pass over entirely in silence. He here referred to what was called the Roman question. They were constantly hearing something said about the solution of the Roman question. They saw it in the newspapers, that was in the Pro testant portion of the press ; everywhere they were constantly hearing or seeing something about the solution of the Roman question. Now, what was this Roman question? For himself he denied that there was any Roman question at all. (Hear, hear.) He would, however, illustrate what this Roman question was, as referred to by the Protestant newspapers, by the following supposition : —Sup pose, for instance, that any of them, in going home that night were stopped by two or three stout ruf fians, who demanded their money or their life. (Laughter.) Now, that was really an illustra tion of this much-talked-of Roman question. It was simply a question of robbery. (Hear, hear, and applause.) The Government of Victor Emmanuel, acting in the most hypocritical manner pos3ible, were constantly talking about the desirability of the Pope introducing reform in his Government. But, in point of fact, they did not want reform. (Hear, hear.) No ; reform would not satisfy them ; what Victor Emmanuel wanted was Rome. (Hear, hear, and applause.) Then they talked about a reconci liation between the Pope and the Government of. Florence. Now, he thought he could also illustrate that by another supposition very similar to his first. It was just precisely as if a man, after robbing them of their watch and all their money, were to say, " I will be reconciled to you providing you will make over to me all the rest of your property." (Laughter and cheers.) This was what the Government of Victor Emmanuel say to the P Apo" Uwe us Rome—give us the wh'° of your dominions—give us everythin g you have left, for we have already taken the largest portion, and then we will be recon ciled." (Hear, hear, and laughter.) Now that was just it. (Hear, hear.) Well, he must say that for his part he should not be very much inclined to accept such a reconciliation as that. (Hear, hear.) Then they said, " We will not take your temporal power altogether; we will still allow you to hold part possession, only let us have a garrison in Rome so that we may protect you." Now, that seemed to him too much like the fable of the wolf protecting the sheep—(laughter and applause)—and certainly such protection as that could not be listened to for a moment---(herr, hear) —for it could not have been offered but in a spirit of great bad faith and dis honesty. (Hear, hear.) And he would here re mark, further, that the object of the Piedmontese Government was not merely to deprive the Pope of the small remnant of temporal power which was still left to him, but they were also desirous to secure something more. Rome, as they well knew, was the great centre of the ecclesiastical system of the whole world. There were the heads of the Government by whom the affairs of the whole of Christendom were constantly ordered and managed ; everything, in fact, in connection with the ecclesiastical affairs of the Church of Christ was managed at Rome. This, then, was the object of all the plotting, and scheming, and pre- tended friendship on the part of the Piedmontese Government--the object of the different secret societies that were formed in various parts of Italy ---to get into their hands the city of Rome, the great _ _ centre of the governing power of the Catholic Church, and then they hoped to be able to dest ro y _ _ _ _ the Church. But they could not do it— (no, no):- even if they succeeded in getting Rome into their possession, they would still be foiled, by the provi- So great was the weight of snow that fell upon the remaining portions of the glass roof of the build ing yesterday morning that it was at one time ap prehended that it would give way and fall, more especially as one end was completely deprived of the supporting stays. Fortunately, owing to the pre cautions taken by the officials of the company and the insurance offices, the great glass roof remained intact, though it had to bear the weight of so many tons weight of snow. The greater portion of the day was devoted by the firemen and the represen tatives of the various fire insurance offices, as well as the salvage corps, to looking after the many valuables supposed to be buried in the debris, and hoped to be recovered but triflingly injured. Un fortunately the prognostications of those interested turned out to be quite the reverse, for, owing to the great quantity of glass and ironwork that had fallen, what the flames had spared was destroyed by the fall of the roof. Even the surveyors to the fire offices assert that they never beheld a more perfect wreck ; for in what was a few days ago the reading room only a few bundles of partly consumed papers ..3 books can be cliavoyared, and they are hardly recognisable. Already steps have been taken by the directors towards repairing the damage caused by the fire. Mr. Edwin Clark, the consulting engineer of the company, and Mr. Rose, the resident engineer, have made an official survey of the ruins, and agreed to Irecommend to the directors the enclosure forthwith of a space of about 120 ft. on the northern side of the screen, separating what was the tropical depart ' ment from the rest of the nave, with the view to the eventual restoration of that part of the fabric, if the directors should so determine. As the roof and sides of the building for that distance north of the screen have been saved, the enclosure of so much of the space is easily effected, and the rest of the area, extending about 300 feet further in that direction, and which is now covered with the wreck occasioned by the fire, may be restored in course of time. It is currently reported that in the event of the northern end being rebuilt the cost will be from £50,000 to £60,000 ; and this in addition to the expense of re instating it in other respects, should the directors decide upon restoring the tropical department, with the various courts which have been destroyed, as it originally stood. In the meantime the ordinary re creations of the Palace go on as usual, and the effects of the fire cannot be seen from the interior of the building. A CLEVER GIRL—A large manufacturing com pany in Chicago employed a young lady only 13 years of age as paymaster. She has paid out since last May a quarter of a million of dollars, keeping the time sheets, pay-roll, and a private account-book with and for each cf three to four hundred men employed. She re ceives the money weekly from the bank to the amount of $4,000 to $5,000, carries the transaction of paying all the men through, and settles and makes her balances with the cashier. She knows every man in the establishment, the force being divided into eleven departments, each having its responsible foreman. She commands a salary of $625 per annum, takes two music lessons each week, and at tends an evening course at a commorcial c s o t l , l n eg as e, t w en her h o o s u h r e s each day t has a scholarship.

But at the same time they, as Catholics, 'did, not want to see them at ROme—(bear, hear)—for, although they might fail in their ultimate object, they would still do a great deal of mischief. The least they would do would be to plunder and pillage the churches and the religious houses.
