Sheffield Trades' Union Commission. MONDAY. Mr. William Bragge, managing director of the ironworks of John Brown and Co. (Atlas Works), gave evidence of a strike of the puddlers in their employ, against a reduction, in February and March last. Other puddlers from a distance were brought to take the place of the men on strike, and the puddlers' union picketed the works, and the men on strike assaulted a number of the new (non-union) men. In consequence of this witness had to employ policemen to guard the place, and to establish a commissariat and provide beds for the new men. Witness bad since abstained from employing union men, and had been able to obtain a sufficient num ber of non-unionists. There were from 800 to 1,000 men employed in this branch, and more than 3,000 at the works altogether. Neither witness nor any of the principals had been assaulted or threatened in any way. James Dunhill, a puddler, said that in February last he was working for Messrs. John Brown and Co. He was not then a union man. When the puddlers had struck, witness continued to work, and he was molested " with a good hiding." About three weeks after the men went out he was at Tryer's, and a man named James Harris, who was one of seven or eight, struck him. The others then fell on him, calling him a " blackleg," and saying that he was taking the bread out of their mouths. He and a companion were shortly afterwards assaulted again by the same men. He proceeded Against them before the magistrates, and they were bound over to keep the peace. Faclmund Higgott, another non-unionist, gave ' evidence of the same occurrences. He also was as saulted, and was unable to work for nine days, and John Skidmore having given evidence of ordinary intimidation, Thomas Rock, a puddler, said he came from Derby a little before Easter to work at Mr. Brown's, and was met at the station by some men, who told him he was doing wrong to go there, took him to a public-house, paid for his bed and breakfast, and then booked him back to Derby. Mr. Overend then stated that he would answer applications for certificates. Mr. Sugg applied for a certificate on behalf of Mr. Broadhead. Mr. Overend said the Court considered that Mr. Broadhead was entitled to a certificate, but not to his costs. Where a witness had come forward in the first instance, and had told the whole truth, he would receive a certificate and his costs ; but where he had committed deliberate perjury, and had then made a full confession in order to save himself from the consequences of that perjury, he would not re ceive his costs. Mr. Overend further stated that each certificate would contain a list of the offences on which the holder had been examined. Mr. Sugg then applied for a certificate for Mr. Thomas Smith, secretary to the Sawmakers' Society, and an accessory after the fact to thellereford-street outrage. The certificate was granted. Mr. Sugg applied for a certificate for Mr. George Peace, late a farmer at Dore, who bad confessed to employing a man to shoot Elisha Parker. Mr.Overend said the certificate would be granted. Mr. Sugg applied for certificatesfor the secretaries of the file trade, on the ground of the papers having raised a question whether picketing was not an of fence within the act—Certificates were granted. Mr. Sugg asked for a certificate for Renshawe,the man who blew up Wastnidge's house.—Granted. In the matter of certain secretaries who hal de stroyed books the Court held that a certificate was not required. The certificate of Joseph Thompson, secretary to the Scissor Forgers' Union, was withheld, on the ground that he had not made a full disclosure. Skidmore and Barker, the former president of the Saw Makers' Union, and the latter secretary to the Saw Handle Makers' Union, received certificates. Certificates were promised for llallam and C roo k es. George, alias " Putty" Shaw applied for a certi ficate for rattening, which was granted. Joseph Copley, William Fcarnley, and Tucker Clarke received certificates for the various offences to which they had confessed. The decision in the case of Sameet Cutler, concerned in the Acorn-street affair, was deferred till Tuesday. There being no more applications for certificates, Mr. Overend said— We have now discharged the duties imposed upon us by the Commissioners when they appointed us to make the investigation into the outrages in Sheffield, and we cannot conclude our labours without offering our thanks to the mayor and town council of the borough for the kind manner in which they have granted us this room, and rendered us assistance in every way. We are also exceedingly obliged to the watch committee for granting us the services of the various policemen and others whom we have required. All of them—the mayor, the corporation, and the watch committee—have been of great service to us in the work which we have had to carry on. We think it also right to make an obser vation as to Mr. Barker, our secretary. We feel under considerable obligation to him, for he has dis charged his duties with the greatest possible ability, and has assisted us in every possible way. Without him Ido not know how we could have carried on the inquiry—at all events with the same expedition as we have done. We think that we, and not only we, but the town and country also, are greatly in debted to him . for the manner in which he has dis charged his duties. There is another gentleman, the Chief Constable of this town, to whom also we are under very great obligations. He has shown great zeal, he has shown great discretion, he has shown great intelligence, and throughout the whole of this inquiry he has afforded us the greatest pos sible assistance. We think he is an officer of the utmost value, and that not only' has Sheffield cause to be proud of such an officer, but without such an officer a town subject to such lawless conduct as this would be in considerable jeopardy. Mr. Shrubsole has also been very useful to us; he has saved us a good deal of trouble, and facilitated the progress of the inquiry. It is not our intention to make any ob servations as to what conclusion we have arrived at from the evidence that has been laid before us. Our duties are first to the Commissioners, to whom our report, which is now in pre paration, will be handed. No doubt it will be put into print and then circulated, and the town will have ample opportunity of considering our conclu sions. We do not, therefore, think it proper on our part to make any observations on those conclusions, but we purposely abstain from stating what the effect on our minds has been. We are not only obliged to the varioua gentlemen whose names I have mentioned, but we are also very much obliged to the press for the manner in which it has reported our proceedings. We have found great advantage from having, from day to day, short-hand writer's notes in the press, and from having the opportunity of seeing at once everything done. We have received great support from both the leading papers of this town by the way in which they have sustained us in this inquiry. No doubt there have been very serious revelations made of terrible crimes, things the country never in any degree anticipated, and although it has been a great disgrace to the town, I trust the fact of there having been these revelations will be the means of improving the position of the Unions, and will enable the Commissioners to pre sent such a report to the Legislature as will enable it to provide laws and regulations to put the Unions in a better position. At all events, not only the crimes of murder of the character we have heard, but also the other various crimes it has been our duty to investigate, have now come to light, and I believe, and my colleagues believe, great good will come of this (however painful the inquiry has been) to the town and the country generally. These are the only observations we think it right we should make. As to the result of the evidence, as I said before, we abstain from saying anything, because in the first instance it is our duty to communicate with the Commissioners. At the conclusion of the learned Chief Commis sioner's observations there was considerable applause from the spectators, which was not checked. Mr. Chambers —These proceedings having now been concluded, if you will allow me, sir, I wish to offer my thanks for the courtesy I have re ceived at the hands of yourself and of your learned colleagues. I may express my sorrow that the gentleman for whom I appear (Mr. Fretson) was prevented by a serious affliction of Providence from conducting the labours I have en deavoured to fulfil. I am also requested on the part of those gentlemen for whom I appear to tender their thanks for the very successful and impartial manner in which you and your colleagues have con ducted this inquiry. Ido not intend to make any observations except to express a hope that your re port will be followed by a useful act of legislation that will confer great benefits on this town and on the country. I may venture to express the opinion that upon no body of men will greater benefits be conferred than on the working classes themselves. Mr. Sugg.—On behalf of the Defence Committee, I can only cordially endorse all that has been said by Mr. Chambers. I quite believe with him that this will be the means of purging the town of Shef field and the neighbourhood from a great many hor rible crimes. I also hope it will reform in a great degree the Trades' Unions, that they will be put from the date of this inquiry upon a sounder basis than ever, and that it will make them what they ought to be—unions for their benefit, and that alone. There are other matters connected with the trades which we shall be glad to have the opportunity of speaking upon, and I hope you will mention in your report that some of the Trades' Unionists of Sheffield wish to have the opportunity of explaining their ob jects more than they have been able to do here. Mr. Overend—Our duties were to inquire into the outrages connected with the Trades' Unions. We have gone also into certain facts we could hardly avoid, but the condition of Trades' Unions generally is for the Commission in London. We have con fined ourselves to the to the part allotted to us. Mr. Sugg—l will only add in conclusion that my clients, the Trades' Unions, have not the least re gret that they assisted in applying for the granting of this Commission. Mr. Overend—l now hereby close the inquiry. The proceedings terminated at half-past 3 o'clock COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. The large amount of unemployed capital depo. sited in all the banks in Europe prevents any down ward movement in Stock Exchange securities ; the bullion in the Bank of France has reached:the large sum of £34,800,000, and the Porte-feuille has fallen from £19,280,000 to £19,040,000. This decrease has taken place principally in the country branches of the establishment. Business has been rather flat of late, but a return of greater acti vity is expected, as there exists no apparent reason for a fall in prices. Money is cheap and abun dant, and political questions are less threatening. The speech of Lord Stanley is still looked upon as a guarantee of peace, and the publication of the papers referring to the London Conferences, which were only laid on the table, in France, last week, are now looked upon more as events of the past than presenting any new feature. Those docu ments have no kind of influence on men of busi ness, as it is expected that the discussion that will take place in the chambers on that subject will not cause any awkward incident. The news from Italy is still full of uncertainty. The Budget is discussed in a spirit which shows that there remains no kind of Conservative prin ciple in that country. The committee is still of opinion that there is no other mode of raising the £24,000,000 but by the spoliation of the Church, and that the best plan is to leave the Government free to carry out in the best way they are able that measure. So it remains to be seen if Parliament will allow their privilege to be broken without any opposition. In Rome all is quiet. About 400 bishops are now surrounding the successor of St. Peter, to celebrate the eighteen hundredth anni versary. It is from that quarter alone that the moral power of the world can hope to receive any help. Other negotiations have taken place between the Courts of Rome and of Florence to try to come to some better understanding ; but nothing has taken place beyond a few visits be tween Cardinal Antonelli and General Durando. In Spain the principal preoccupation is the pro posed law for the settlement and conversion of outstanding debts. Several modifications have been proposed by the committee; and it is said that they intend to increase the pecuniary aid to railway companies. Although the discussion of the budget is over, M. Bazzanallana has not as yet made known the measures by which he intends to carry out his financial plans. In Prussia the return of the King to Berlin has been followed by another political success. After a protracted discussion, Bavaria has given in and agreed to the new cus tom laws. The Emperor of Austria has returned to Vienna after receiving every mark of sincere friendship and devotedness from his subjects in Hungary, and he has given orders to suspend the works of fortification at Vienna. The Sultan is now in Paris. Before leaving Constantinople he promulgated the law to enable foreigners to pur chase freehold property in Tur ke y . It is said that his visit to Paris will cost half a million sterling. There is a report that the Viceroy of Egypt has been unsuccessful in obtaining a loan in Paris. In France Parliament has sanctioned the proposed arrangement between the Victor-Emmanuel Rail way Company and the Italian Government to be carried out, so as to place that line, which unites the French lines with the tunnel under Mont Cenis, in the hands of the Paris and Lyons Railway Company. However, the measure is only to be carried out provided the shareholders give their consent, and a general meeting will be called for the purpose.• Although the report of the com mittee on the budget does not speak of any loan, it is possible that a loan will become necessary, as the floating debt is now 887 millions of francs, or £35,480,000, against £35,680,000 on the Ist of June, 1866. Government cannot safely increase this debt, and they will be compelled to bring out a loan if more money is required. Already the committee, in their report to the Chambers speak of extraordinary and supplementary credits amounting to 158,592,719 fr., or £6,353,708, for the Ministers of War and Marine. Of this sum, £3,520,000 are for the pay and maintenance of the army, and £1,280,000 for the Artillery and Engi neers. The Marine takes £1,291,474, and nothing is said about the conversion of arms into needle guns, which, no doubt, will require a further cre dit. It is expected that a loan will be brought out in France in November next ; but the com mittee, in their report, give no explanation as to the ways and means, so there is no clue to show what will be the probable amount of the loan. The Anglo-Egyptian Banking Company held their half-yearly meeting on Friday, the 28th of June. The chairman explained that in November last year the losses were £205,000 ; that on the 11th of March, which is the date of the recon struction of the company, the profits were £llO,OOO, and the net profits ascertained since that time up to this date have been £45,000 more, so that in less than ten months£lss,ooo have been recovered, with every prospect that the entire loss will be made up by the 31st of December next. The bank has adopted the prudent measure of restoring the entire capital before paying any dividend, and although the profits next year will not, it is ex pected, be so large as this, there is every prospect that the bank w ill b e a b le t par. whenTt There e p raircee 4150 f sthheareslhioalrdeoes r p ws a i y laln a ci fairo only dividend, twenty four go up again to p have not p a id up their ' calls. The gross amount unpaid is £15,475, which is charged 10 per cent. AwiCiilelhili,atnlBl3,o;ohialasvbeeebneeitsissuielic)l subscribed .t ed l,l l.l o l 9 c ,7 h o ii o of i, 7 per cent. at 92, in nine instal men t s , extending to' the Ist of April, 1868, to be red eeme d by half yearly drawings, at par, in about twenty-one years, to commence in October next. Allot ees w ill h ave the option of paying up in full, on allotment, at 89.5. There is nothing in the prospectus to show upon what guarantee this loan is raised, nor what may be the resources of the country ; and no kind of compensation is offered to the holders of the 44 per cent. which was subscribed at 92, with a sink ing fund of only 1 per cent. to be employed by purchases in the open market ; also, the stock is unsaleable. There are rumours of a new railway loan for the Russian Government. The object is to purchase the present line from St. Petersburg to Moscow, with a view to advance the development of rail way enterprise throughout the dominions of the Czar. It is rumoured that the sum required is £16,000,000. A drawing has taken place of 275,950 Bonds of the Peruvian Five per Cent. Loan of 1865, to be paid off at par. Nerbudda shares are now quoted discount to premium. With regard to the establishment of the through railway route from Bombay to Cal cutta, the Bombay Gazette states there is very little doubt that it may be obtained by the beginning of the next year, with the exception of the break at the bridge over the Towa (a tributary of the Nerbudda), if the Government would urge the con tractors not to mind waiting for the bridge, and would sanction the running of trains from Calcutta to Bombay, to either side of the river. The respon sibility, however, of coming to such a decision rests with the Government of India, not with the Go vernment of Bombay. English railway shares have beenvery flat of late. All suffer from the want of confidence brought about by the fiction of past accounts. In future, each line will have to stand upon its own merits, as directors will no longer be allowed to carry to capital account what ought to be placed against revenue account. No permanent rise will take place in railway property until the next half-yearly accounts are published, as the public will only then be able to judge of the intrinsic value of each company. Foreign stocks have generally been dealt in at lower values, each new loan brought out depreciates former loans, and when it is considered that almost every kingdom in Europe is in want of money, it i$ not surprising that foreign stocks remain so low, although discounts are at 21 per cent.—Westmin ster Gazette. LOUIS VEUILLOT'S LETTERS ON ROME. In Paris are sometimes to be seen, wearing a costume half Parisian, peasant girls who pretend to be Neapolitans or Romans, but who do not put one at all in mind of the Madonnas of Raphael. They have now and then a remnant of picturesque ness about them ; God grant that they have a remnant of virtue in their hearts, but chi lo Sc? Such as they are, shod in boots trodden down at heel, and wrapped in a plaid cloak, living by mendicity, or still more wretched labour—slaves, into the bargain, of a master who trades on their vices and makes a harvest of their misery —these poor exiles afford us a true picture of the Italy of Victor Emmanuel. The male of this species is espec especially At hcotnsepsictuatoiuesnof st in th p e i ne e ig ja h , b l ou e r a h m o e Flo rence.aeodorfessaremarkable type of this kind. He was a fellow of about thirty years of age, magnificent in stature, face, and beard, with dark eyes—an Antinoiis in moustachios and light coloured waistcoat--and yet his whole person, even to his elegant and fashionable dress, bore a ridiculous appearance. This pretentious simpleton amused himself by walking beside a long file of carriages filled with priests, muttering grotesque invocations, full of insults to the names of Jesus and Mary, and making game of the faith of the travellers. Beside him was a poor devil of an official, who smiled with forced complacency. A significant look, and a word still more significant, made him understand that he was observed ; on which he hung down his head and was silent; but, as soon the train was in motion, he looked up again, stroking superbly his superb moustache, with the air which General Fracassini might have put on had he witnessed the Austrians in flight. The journey across Italy is poisoned by the fre quency of such apparitions. Priests who have been insulted, have been insulted, not by the people, but by such gentry as these, who hold offices of all kinds, which have been created for them here as elsewhere. They end by drawing down upon them selves some severe rebukes, which they richly de serve, and then they become very cautious. For, even in their war against the priests, which is their chief glory, the heroes of new Italy keep a careful look-out to save their rear. So spadone a due (jambe always forms a part of their equipment, and skeddadling is their principal mana, - suvrre (la pourilre d'escampette est la principal° de leurs munitions). Neither the grossness nor the swaggering imper tinence of the Italianissimi have as yet debased the ancient, noble physiognomy of the Roman people. Italian courtesy has taken refuge in Rome. No trait of irreverence is to be seen ; the walls make no obscene grimaces, and utter no shouts of death. The whole city wears a look of cordial good bu masotbire,eystrangely y p l l v e b a e s r a e n t e l t s o e , s e n e e . itb T er he b c l o a a s e p h h m em en e: nor strike, nor make a row, nor refuse to drive, and generally ask no more than their due. I have very many other peculiarities to note, but this is enter Rome. It en i o , : r ig e h gr o es f s s m urpre ust iss fora needs, he d w ay. ev et., is there already. I have just come across it ; it cost me a baiocco. In the Piazzetta di San Carlo al Corso, a little table before the door of a cafe, pla ced in the lryollt,et air Nbvor breakfast. delicious the .0 sfA s r ese ld h i v a pfi e ge , enticed of cafe ,cdarfoep dropping me ie g n rpa ie r ta, r rla - s of honey—two of those figs which the Emperor Augustus loved so much—a large glass of spark ling water—the animated spectacle in the street —the sight of a neighbouring balcony hung with brilliant cloths, now silent, but which spoke to me, for I have seen there life and death—how much do you think all this cost me ? I paid five sous, and that was too dear. It was a baiocco too much—the baiocco of progress. But to speak seriously. You cannot imagine the abundance of life which flows at this moment through Rome. The splashing and leaping foun tains which make glad the city are but a faint image of this torrent. At Paris you have move ment ; it is not wanting here. You may regale yourself with the noise of carriages —like the waters in the gardens of Conde, they are never quiet, day or night—but here, of three of those carriages which drive by with such noise, you may reckon that one at -least, and often two or three, carry ideas. This is what Paris does not offer in the same measure. All the visitors at Paris are there out of curiosity or for worldly matters; all the visitors at Rome are there for the sake of its gran deur, its beauty, its holiness—on account of spiri tual things, matters of eternity. One may well be intoxicated with the wonders of the Universal Exhibition. I will not deny their beauty ; but it is one thing to visit the Chinese department, or even the gallery of the history of industry, and quite another thing to visit the Vatican, the Colosseum, the Mamertine prisons, the Appian Way. The imposing presence of Kings, surrounded by their generals, does not inspire thoughts of so high an order as the sight of Pius IX. surrounded by his bishops, all impressed with a comciousness of the Divine Presence. And, again, it is quite another thing to speculate on the secret views of the masters of human policy, and on the effect of the last conferences of London, than to estimate the effect of that divine policy which convokes an (Ecumenical Council to reinstate the disquieted reason of mankind. The council is the subject of general conversation. It puts completely aside a quantity of minor questions and of miscellaneous topics which engage atten tion at other times. Anecdotes and reminiscences are forsaken, to enter upon universal history. At this very moment is being written one of the grand and noble pages of the world's annals. The most important event which the nineteenth century will bequeath to the future is this council. De lionald said that the Revolution, which began by the proclamation of the Rights of Man, would end bbyetherash, proclamation of the Rights of God. It would Revolution is almost draw t i o ng m n ad ea n r es i s t , a to n asse b rt ut tthhaet day when the council shall be fixed we may say the counter revolution has begun, and liberty ought to rejoice thereover, for the Revolution is the great negatione e oflib erty. A e en A em p y a , t t h he w v il e l rY at last b opened for for us to come out and a o l f l j anarchy d h m e ri n t e h a o t u t m ifalling now un e d a s e r t t d y o r w an n n b y y ; their fatal isolation, will know the ground where they may and ought to unite. It was an idea en- tertained by Rossi in the last years of his life. One day, on the eve of 1848, talking with an eminent priest of Rome, he was induced to recount to his friend all the struggles and misgivings of modern thought which he had experienced. At the end of this kind of confession, he added :—" I can say that I have seen all things except a General Council ; and Ido not despair of seeing one yet." He would, indeed, have seen one had it not been for the dagger of the Revolution. But the dagger of the Revolution is powerless against the designs of God. The eminent man who listened to Rossi was very much struck at what he said. It was twenty years ago, and it was not then generally thought that the world would so soon be ripe for a council. Rossi was no ordinary man. He had known something of the Church, and he had for gotten it, but he learnt to know it again, and to know none better. One of the offices often Divinely imposed on the devil is to teach the catechism ; and he does his work well. Instructed by the reviving light of faith, Rossi perceived that the Church alone was capable of pronouncing the fat lux which should extricate the world from the chaos into which it had fallen. The moment is come. Amidst all its marvels, human skill has not been able to produce a light house capable of guiding the mind of man. In the face of this want Pius IX. speaks, and the mighty word, the fiat lux, passes his lips, and we may almost see the light rising above the dark horizon. To my mind, many men who may have desired to have lived at another epoch, ought now to rejoice at living in this ; for it will be one of the famous turning points of history ; it will witness, at the very least, the laying of the first stone of the reconstruction of society. There is here, I will not say a hope, but a kind of unanimous convic• tion, that Pius IX. will open, preside over, and sanction the council whose name, now about to be inscribed, will last as long as the world lasts, beside, or perhaps above, the great names of Nice and of Trent. Once again, in this memorable Pon tificate, the astonished world will see events arrested, or their tumult calmed, so that the Vicar of Jesus Christ is enabled to do that which he wishes to do to the glory of God and for the welfare of the immortal Church of Christ. Europe has now some reason to count on about two years of peace, because it is necessary that the council should be held whenever Pius IX. shall assign the day. We invite Free-thinkers who still venture to think to consider this : From the windows of the Vatican Pius IX. can see the tents of the Piedmontese—the tents of barbarism —pitched upon his usurped territories. He is, without arms and without frontiers, protected against the powerful enemy who wishes to take from him Rome itself ; he hears the cries which welcome the impending fall of the edifice of Christianity ; he may ask himself, as every one else does, by what miracle it is that he has not yet succumbed ; and it is at such a moment that the bowels o f the earth are moved at the voice of the Pontiff to beget anew the civilization of the Cross. It was said that St. Peter's should be demolished ; and we find the vast Basilica is become too small for the crowd of the faithful. Its dimensions ought rather to be enlarged to admit the world to assemble around this immutable and immortal tomb. I am so filled with admiration at the fine things which the newspapers are relating about me, as not to be able to resist a feeling of vain-glory. According to the Memorial Diplomatique, the Im perial Government condescends to be uneasy at the systematic opposition with which I persecute it, and makes complaints on this head to the Ponti fical Government, which, no doubt, will let me know that lam :doing wrong. In such an anxious moment as this, in the midst of the Universal Exhibition and of the centenary of St. Peter, I am troubling, it appears, the Pope and the Empe ror, who are awaiting the arrival of the Grand Turk and the Convocation of the Council. What a wonderful position for an insignificant journalist of 8,000 subscribers to be in ? My fellow-labourer in the press, M. Auguste Vitu and his abbe's, perhaps, less innocently prepare for me another crown. They cannot imagine that I have left my grand office in Paris decked with names of 8,000 sub scribers, within an easy drive of the Exhibition, in the sole view of kissing the foot of the statue of St. Peter, and of reciting a Miserere and an Ave Maria before the CrosS of the Colosseum. They ascribed to me a vaster and a really grandiose design. I wanted, it seems, to prevent the Pope from coming to the Universal Exhibition, and to dissuade him from convoking the Council. This is by far too much ; these gentlemen are really too good to me. I should have thought that they would not have imputed plans of such importance but to men such as M. Ravin and M. Girardin, entitled to have implicit confidence in themselves. It costs me not a little to dissipate illusions which our profession, somewhat in ill -repute, might stand in need of, at a time when M. Vitu himself is compelled, in order to get himself read, to make use of and champfleurism. I should be only too happy h gossip a p g p o yt p o raise the credit of these poor jour nalists, by exhibiting to all the world a journalist so well up in the affairs of the day. By such means, people will learn to appreciate better these ques tionable personages. This would explain, in a ' general way, why photographers invest them with such proud airs, and exhibit them always with as many orders on their breast as Abd-el-Kader or Alexander Dumas. Unfortunately, the truth must be told, and the truth is, that all these tales are wrongly laid on my shoulder. lam at Rome, it is true. I am all right here— nothing more certain ; I have not come here for nothing —so much I also confess. But what ought alsotobe padedresdonias,gethan myself, n o t on l y i n my that nobody here i s a more in significantown eyes, but in the eyes of others. I live in a small room at the far end of a back staircase, which is not trodden by the feet of earthly potentates. I hold no council there as to what direction ought to be given to the affairs of the world. I go out to I visit influential friends, and to learn their opinions : but to tell them what I think myself I wait till they condescend to ask my opinion. I have not yet seen the Holy Father, and I do not know whether I shall have that pleasure, on account of the multitude of persons more important than I who have solicited an audience before I did, and who have more to say than I have ; and as the churches, moreover, are not shut to me, and as the bronze foot in St. Peter's is always within reach of my lips, and as, also, I am atliberty to go down on my knees in the street be fore the Blessed Sacrament, and before the Pope whenever they pass, so is the purpose of my journey fully accomplished. Among the numerous reasons on account of which I am a Catholic, and all of which completely satisfy my r eason, there is one which is especially d ear to me, an d th a t is, that the Catholic faith ab so l utely d estro y s in me any desire of governing m y Ch urc h , an d, by way of parenthesis, let me observe I cannot comprehend why so enlightened an intelligence as M. Guizot's does not submit to su c h a reason. l am no w making my eighth pilgrimag e t o Rome, an d please God it shall not be my last. I should not have visited Rome so many times in spite of its incomparable beauty, nor should I feel such a joy as that which irresistibly attracts me hither had I to bring here advice and warnings. It is proposed to Catholics to maintain and to de fend, even to the shedding of their very blood, the belief in the infallibility of Peter. For my part, I have long ago taken this vow, and 1 look upon it as one of the baptismal vows. It cannot be renewed explicitly, but I see no way of being a Catholic without fulfilling it. But I am only at Rome to hear ; to hear is to believe, to believe is to obey. I am told journalism is essentially a calling which consists in giving advice. I readily grant it, and in truth I do not abstain from giving advice. I profess even to give it in case others should not give it. I should be the more inclined to be proud of it since I know what it costs ; but it is not in Rome that I find it necessary to give advice.

I wish this very pointed difference to be perceived, and if the permission should be extended so far as to give me leave to mix myself up in the govern ment of the Church, then I would pass the permis sion to the bold spirits of the abbe's of the Etendard. Sooner than make use of it myself, I believe that I would cut off my hand, or do literary business in the Revue des Deux blondes, between the prosaic M. Mazade and the poetic M. Pailleron. I have still more singular scruples. Even in politics I recognize limits, so that when the illimo rial Diplonzatique accuses me of offering systematic opposition to the Imperial Government it is again an honour which Ido not deserve. I cannot even understand its mistake, unless in supposing that the writer does not read the Univers, and that he is ignorant of the obligations of the Christian con science. Systematic opposition is to be guilty of injustice, is to be guilty of untruth. I have not asked permission to do this simply because we are not permitted to lie. This is what I told the Mi nister of the Interior after the authorization had been given to me to revive the Univers, and we are all firmly resolved to follow this• line, which in for mer times also we had strictly observed. It is not a very favourable one for the development of lite rary talent, and injures, also, the popularity of a paper, but the conscience under such a restriction finds a kind of tranquillity which gives it strength for other purposes. If, then, I should have the happiness to see the Holy Father, and to hear a word from his lips especially addressed to me, I am almost certain that it will have no reference to the complaints of the Memorial Diplomatique, and I can tell before hand to the abbe's of the Etendard all that will pass. I shall kneel down ; I shall kiss the foot of the Holy Father ; I shall tell him that I have been audacious enough to rob him of a moment, because the leper in the Gospel had praise given to him be cause, after he was cured, he came back to give thanks for the good that had been done unto him. The Pope will advise me strictly to follow truth, to love uprightness unswervingly, to observe charity. He will deign to bless me, myself, and my brethren, and all those whom he kindly remembers are dear to my heart. I shall kiss again the hem of his royal robe, and I shall go away full of gratitude, of cou rage, of joy, and of love. IiIAXIMILI.I2V IN MEXICO. (From the Anglo-American Tunes.) The New Monthly Magazine, which gave in its June number a paper on Russian-America, favours its readers in its July issue with another on Mexico under Maximilian. The thoughts of the periodical are fixed on the United States while discussing the ice -bound, barren land of rocks to the North, and the wealth of fertile soil teeming underground with mineral riches, of the country to the South. The colossal Republic that lies between these lands of glaring contrast is far more attractive to the reviewer than the hunting grounds of a fur trading company, or the scene of human de generacy, which is all that makes Mexico at present of any interest in the world. " There can be no question of the ulterior views entertained by the partisans of the Monroe doctrine in the United States in thus giving their support to the party of anarchy in Mexico as opposed to that of peace and order." Thus writes the New Monthly, and any American can tell instinctively what the next sen tence is—." It is that the country may fall to pieces, and that they may gather it up within their grasp, fragment by fragment. There ought not to be either ignorance of, nor indifference to, the fact that the Mexican question constitutes with that of British America the basis of a new order of things which is about to arise in the New World. It is the " Question of the 'West," which is of infinitely more serious impOrt than the " Question of the East." The United States constitute the American Colossus, just as Russia constitutes the Asiatic Colossus. Mexico, as a " sick man," has nothing to envy Turkey. Maximilian, left alone, would unquestionably have given a good account of his rebellious satraps and plundering pachas of the West, but, backed by the United States, they have become successful partisans. The aim and objects of the Monroeists are as openly avowed at Washington as are the Oriental projects of the Muscovites at St. Petersburg and Moscow. The Americans not only foresee the absorption of all North and Central America by the annexation of Mexico, but also of the Empire of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The acquisition of Russian America, of the Alutian Islands, and of the North Pacific Ocean, is thus shown to be a step in a given direction towards a long foregone result." And a very good step too, as we hail the ad vance of the Americans towards the realisation of their darling project the oneness of the North American Continent. The dream of the Monroeists is a splendid vision, which we fully be lieve, some, will wake to find a rea lit y . B ut what we cannot see is why Europeans should view with such jealousy the growing might of the great Re public. The opinions of the New Monthly may be gathered from the following paragraph : " Viewed in this light, it will be understood how any support given by Europe to Maximilian's em pire would have become the means of averting a future Crimean war upon a vast scale, and of post poning that war in the New World, and that formid able struggle for the supremacy at sea which must inevitably one day arise between the Old and the New World, and which at present the timidity and irresolution of European Governments serve rather to hurry on than to postponl for an indefinite pe riod." We discuss this question in our leading columns, and as we can scarcely afford space for the extracts from the interesting article before us, we will not here allude to it further. The following account of the fortress taken by the Republicans on the Ist June is given :—" Cha pultepec, besieged and dev as t ate d b y the rebels, in which we find, as in common in Mexico, the Orien tal word teppeh, a bill,' is a chateau built on the summit of an isolated hill by the Viceroy Don Mat teo de Galva, and it was the Emperor Maximilian's habitual residence. Tradition says that the Aztec kings had a palace at the same place, and some dis coveries have been made which give colour to the tradition. In the park there is an aged cedar, of phenomenal dimensions, which bears the name of Montezuma. The building, half palace, half for tress, had been converted into a military school, and when Maximilian first fancied the palace both it and the park were in a sad condition, most of the wood in the latter having been cut down on the approach of the Yankees in 1847 ; but Maximilian set to work with characteristic energy, and in two years' time he made it a residence worthy of an emperor. The place could now be approached by good roads, the park was adorned with pavilions, statues, and flower beds. Chapultepec was indeed admittedly a little marvel. The city of Mexico is solidly constructed, inter sected by long, wide streets, and encumbered with convents and churches, built on a lake very much exposed to inundations. This lake—Texcoco—is the only one of five which is below the level of the city ; but as it receives the waters of all the other lakes it is liable to floods, and at these times the capital is laid under water. Many works have been carried out to do away with this inconvenience; among the most remarkable of which is the canal of Hurketoca, constructed by Surrigarry in 1807, but which, like everything else, has been allowed to fall into decay and ruin. Of all the works undertaken —canals of dessication and embankments to pre serve the city —none have been kept in good condi tion. One of the first public acts of the Emperor Maximilian was to adopt proceedings by which this inconvenience would be for ever abated, and the lake so far drained that it was anticipated twenty square leagues of rich alluvial soil would be gained to agriculture, which would more than repay the expenses of dessicatior . The houses in Mexico are very pleasant to dwell in, and are well suited to the climate. They have always a yard or garden, with a gallery running round it, decorated with flowers and enlivened with birds. The rooms are large, clean, and well-fur nished, and the whole is pretty, cool, comfortable, and well-aired.

A territory which produces nothing isof no alike have gradually disappeared before modern civilisation, as it is called, but in Mexico nothing use to its proprietor, to the commonwealth, or to the State.

The accounts given by Monsieur Domenech of the population would be amusing, were they not pain ful to read. The lower classes, leperos or peones, are, he says, brutalised, ignorant, superstitious, and idle, indifferent to everything save luxury and gambling. Of the citizens he says little, except that they live in a certain degree of comfort by industry, or by other means more or less honest. As to the colonels, generals, official prefects, governors, and ministers, they profit by revolutions, and speculate upon their position to acquire wealth. The aris tocracy is solely composed of Creoles, that is to say of half-caste European and Indian blood. The men who are marked by talent, patriotism, or high social qualifications, belong to this class. The Metes, or descendants of Mexicans and Indians, have all the vices of both races, without having any of their good qualities. The same thing is indeed said of them throughout South America. In Mexico they are, according to M. Danielle* " en vious, greedy, proud, vulgar, and cowardly." The Indians have many faults, but whatever energy or good is to be found in the lower classes it is met with among them. They are kind, polite, laborious, and less vici ous t h an the Mexicans. When they have arms th ey defend their villages against the bandits called Liberals in Mexico, but for the most part they are enrolled and forced to fight under the flag of some successful insurgent. Hence they were naturally to a man, in favour of the Imperial Go vernment, which held out promises of stability and protection. The Emperor on his side interested himself very much in ameliorating the social condi tiou of this badly-used class. They are sometimes ill treated by Europeans as well as by Mexicans. A savant who went to collect skulls met an Indian with a remarkable head, and shot him to add his skull to his collection. This story is probably bor rowed from the Maori legend, when that race ta tooed themselves, and a trade was driven in pre. served heads. One, remarkably well tatooed, was sold by a chief to a collector, though on the shoulders of its owner, who was despatched at once to deliver the article purchased. The Mexicans are said to dislike Europeans because they feel morally inferior in their presence ; but the ladies prefer Europeans for this reason, and because they are better informed, less demoralised, more courageous, and less envious. Mexico is a land of robbers. Santa Anna had his ink stand purloined at ft Council of Ministers, and the room was darkened to enable the thief to return it undetected. The chapels and altars are all protected by iron railings. A French marshal was robbed of the decorations on his breast at a military mess. At court balls there was a general scrimmage for gloves—shoe s , fans, brace lets, brooches, and other trifles, and anything that is laid by or that falls is at once pounced upon. At a ball given by the French officers, the guests cut the gold embroidery from off the curtains of the room. If a Mexican has no pockets, he finds it natural to put his hands in his neighbour's ; if he has pockets, he likes to fill them with other peoples' property, simply from the horror of a vacuum. A priest, mounting the scaffold with a malefactor, left his hat in the hands of a spectator, who at once went off with it to a pawnbroker's, leaving his reverence to go home bareheaded. Mexico is overrun with swarms of priestly drones. The property of the Church was estimated at 179,163,000 piastres, of which 1 49,132,000 piastres were productive capital; that is to say, invested in land and houses, farmed or rented, and 30,038,000 piastres were unproductive, comprising churches, convents, plates, &c. Between the rival factions this wealth has been dissipated. The c lerical -conservative element in Mexico is, according to M. Domenech, nineteen twentieths of the population. Mexico is essentially a clerico-monastic country. The clergy held, under the Spanish Government, about three-fourths of the territory. The population, poor and idle, sought admission into the convents or the priesthood. The Indians were at once their scholars and their chil dren, and they, as well as all the women, belong to the same party. The majority of the conser vative party ought, hence, to have been over whelming in Mexico. These Roman Catholic priests marry ! and many have large families, who receive from the bishops, on their pastoral rounds, blessings, much to the disgust of M. Domenech, who says that the clergy are ignorant and cor rupt ; adding that religion in Mexico is a singular mixture of powerless devotions, shameful igno rance, unwholesome superstitions, and hideous views. The Indians go to mass with their dogs and poultry ; the glu.glu of turkeys, the ki-ki of cocks, the barking of dogs, the mewing of cats, the shrieks of birds which nestle in the roofs, and the biting of fleas, put all attempts to pray out of the question. In Southern Mexico to receive the last sacrament is equivalent to a condemnation to death ; for if the patient shows signs of recovery, he or she is put out of the way, so that they can no longer offend the Creator. Grown-up people are buried in Mexico like dogs, but children are dressed up with wings of geese to re present " angelitos," and their bodies are let out to dealers in pulque —the intoxicating drink of the coun - try—to attract customers. As to church decorations, the less said of them the better. The Saviour is in Mexico mostly adorned with a crinoline. Saint Gabriel and Saint Michael are dressed in white satin bodies and short petticoats. The late Emperor is described as being lofty in stature, well-made, and with features expressive of mildness. His manners were exceedingly winning and conciliatory. He is said to have wanted energy at first, but this has not extended to late events. The Empress Charlotte was formerly the soul of the Court and the prop of the Throne. Dignified, yet kind and generous, she used on an average to spend ten thousand francs a week on charities. Sh e f oun d e d no end of public ch a riti es _ things which were before her time unknown in Mexico. The difficulties she met in Mexico over taxed her brain, and the malady inflicted a fatal blow on the Empire. Juarez is au Indian. He had been servant at a lawyer's, who gave him some education.
