LONDON, TUESDAY, JAN. 22, 1867. The question of the EYRE defence again attracts public attention from the discussions that are tak ing place upon the matter. In consequence of some misunderstandings the Secretary of the Eyre De fence and Aid Fund, Mr. HAMILTON HUME, has published the letters that have passed between him and Messrs. SIIAEN and ROSCOE. These latter, itx appears, objected to the terms of the advertise.-• rnents put forth by the Eyre Defence and Aid Con- mittee, but upon examination we cannot see that there is any reasonable ground of complaint, aril Mr. HUME gave them a very suitable explanatic when he said that they were perfectly cone ;et and in exact accordance with the facts stat ed by themselves. Two actions will be commenced against Mr. EYRE and Colonel NELSON by the solicitors of the Jamaica Committee. We do not, indeed, see the object of the statements put forward by the solicitors of the Jamaica Committee, but they appear generally dissatisfied, and are anxious to show that, as the Government have undertaken the defence of Colonel NELSON, there will not be demands on the Defence Fund in his case. This does not seem to be their concern, but we have no doubt that the public will learn this with satis faction, and it is certainly a matter to afford satisfaction. No doubt it has at the same time given great umbrage to those who have come for ward with such vehemence and bitterness against Mr. EYRE and those who assisted him. We feel, indeed, assured that the Government could not have done otherwise than undertake the defence. We can readily understand that the decision should have caused dissatisfaction. The complaints made are, however, quite uncalled for, and had better have been left alone. As for the expression that " the national purse has been interposed between these victims of martial law and an English court of justice " it is quite absurd. If anything were wanting to prove the inadvisability of all theseproceedings it would be seen in the confu sion worse confounded that has been made by those who have persisted in carrying on this prosecution of Governor EYRE: The public will appreciate in its true light the whole course pursued by those malignant persecu tors of Mr. EYRE ; but it will not advance their cause, but, on the contrary, damage their reputation still more to find that they are interposing delays and hindrances ; and it is now evident that there is some object in view which they seek to effect by delay, for an application was made on Saturday to Mr. Baron BRAMWELL in Chambers for the purpose of retarding the progress of the ,actions commenced against ex-Governor EYRE. This is an unworthy course to pursue, because if such a thing as this prosecution is to be under taken it should be done at once, and there can be nothing gained by delay that we can see. In point of fact the whole affair seems both puzzling and unsatisfactory ; but we trust that the public will not suffer themselves to be misled by the arts em ployed in the conduct of the matter. We consider that Mr. EYRE has been shame fully treated from the outset of the affair, and now the way in which this prosecution is being carried on is making bad worse in a tenfold degree. If the purpose of this last statement from the Jamaica Committee be to retard the affair, and thus throw the others off their guard, we can only say that it is a very unsuitable mode of proceeding, but we hope those who have come forward to assist Mr. EYRE will not be. turned aside from their pur pose by - any of these extraordinary manoeuvres. It is a scandalous thing that a man who has done so much for his country should be kept in suspense like this, and perhaps at last, when not fully prepared, or thrown off his guard by the delays and obstacles interposed, be suddenly called upon to make a stand or take his trial. The whole course of the proceedings against Mr. EYRE have been characterised by a total want of justice and fair play, and we hope long before they begin their last attempts that the general voice of public opinion will be declared against them pretty strongly, and in a manner which cannot be very easily mistaken. A good deal of interest and discussion have been excited in the literary world by the singular case of " HoGG v. MAXWELL." The appearance of the promised magazine, with all the attractions of Miss BRADDON'S extended reputation and undoubted ta'ent, had been looked forward to with a good deal of curiosity, and certainly the publisher, Mr. MAX WELL, had spared neither trouble nor expense in keeping up the interest. Advertisements of all kinds, ornamented placards, and other ingenious devices in the fashion of the day, were resorted to, and the new publication was to be ushered into society with all possible advantages. So perverse and disappointing are the turns of Dame Fortune's wheel, however, that, at the very outset of its career, the new literary adventurer encountered two very serious and unex pected obstacles. The first was the astounding appearance of a rival of precisely the same name and character ; and the second, its natural conse quence--an enemy whose very name is alarming to most of us—a Chancery suit. It seems that some three years ago, Mr. HOGG registered the title " Belgravia," having then some idea of bestowing it on the popular and attractive magazine now known as " London Society," which we must con fess appears to us the better name of the two. However,: Mr. MAXWELL was unaware of the hidden danger, and went on spending his money and informing the world in general that a new magazine of great attractions was to de light the large circle of Miss BRADDON'S admirers under that lady's editorship, and assisted by her fertile and brilliant pen. Mr. HOGG meanwhile heard and made no sign. It is in this respect that whatever the decision of law the case in equity is against him. It is not credible that the publisher and managers of the rival " Belgravia" should not have known of the announcements ; indeed, to . do them justice, they do not pretend any such igno rance, but, confessedly, were "fully aware of his intention." We cannot but think that a publisher who has a prior claim to a particular title, and intends to assert that claim, is bound in honour to give the earliest intimation possible to any one who unknowingly infringes his rights. Mr. MAXWELL has good reason to complain that the rival " Belgravia " has shared the publicity given by his advertisements and exertions. Those who may not be familiar with the dispute, and consequently not aware of the difference in the publisher's name, might very well have purchased or ordered the earlier numbers of Mr. HOGG'S " Belgravia," thinking it to be Mr. MAXWELL'S "Belgravia." The law, as is well-known, gives little comfort to either side. It admits Mr. HOGG'S priority of claim, but holds that registration confers no exclusive privilege. "It would be absurd," says Lord Justice CAIRNS, "to suppDse that the Legislature meant that by the registration of one word, copyright in that word could be obtained, although it was the title of an intended publication." It admits that Mr. MAXWELL has been spending his money and trouble for the benefit of other par ties, but denies tnat such outlay gives him a claim to profit by its returns. " Expenditure alone," says Lord Justice TURNER, " could not create such a right, for then any person expending money upon a particular undertaking could restrain another from carrying on a similar undertaking." So that English law, as usual, is a series of negatives. Its exponents are very ready to say what it cannot do, but less prompt in telling us what it can do.

Both sides have some thing to complain of, and can find plenty of arguments to sustain their complaints. It cer tainly appears a hard case that a man should go through the form of registration, and believe him self secure of a particular title, if the registration is actually no more than a form, and is of no service to him whatever. On the other hand, it is very hard that a publisher should be al lowed to go through all the heavy preliminary outlay demanded for the establishment of a general magazine, unsuspicious of any am bush, while all the time there lurks in the background a secret foe, who at the last moment may start up and disarrange all his carefully-pre pared and costly plans. The condition of many points of our law on literary matters has long been a matter of comment, and efforts have recently been made to amend it. This cause celebre of the two " Belgravias" will no doubt be instrumental in bringing about a reform in the vexed question of what confers the exclusive right to a particular publisher. There ought certainly, in common fairness to authors and publishers, to be such a right indisputable in a court of law ; but there should also be some guarantee against money being spent for other people's benefit. It has been very sensibly suggested that the right conferred by registration should be limited to a certain period, so that if it was not used within an interval, say of six months, it should be forfeited. This woulJ be a good way out of the difficulty which undoubtedly exists. To show the condition of the law and the lack of protection it affords, we may suppose that a publisher of less standing and respec tability than either of those engaged in this dispute had from malicious motives started a " Belgravia," he might have headed his principal story " Birds of Prey." Something certainly must be done to pro tect literary rights. Merchandise is protected by trade marks strictly enforced by the law, why then should literary rights, if less tangible, be less protected ? The Imperial decree appears to have given gene ral satisfaction in France, as indeed it might natu rally have been supposed that it would. Indeed, in many respects, it seems very well suited to the exigencies of the time. It is true that some of the journals seem to be disappointed at the suppression of the address from the Throne, which is not sur prising. The Moniteur of yesterday is anxious to allay the feeling of regret or indignation on that score, for it says that there will virtually be no dif ference in consequence, and that.,the " suppression of the debates on the Address will not delay ex planations, since the Government has decided to accept, from the opening of the session, questions upon foreign policy." We are glad to find that on all sides this decree has been regarded as an indication of a more liberal policy, and it is re assuring that the French people should thus begin the new year under such favourable auspices. Perhaps there is no country in which it is more difficult to make changes than in France ; that is to say, desirable ones, for with one thing and another it is often more easy to keep on the same than to inaugurate in a successful manner any important alterations ; but we hope that the present endea vour will be attended with success. the weather was intensely cold, and a strong north easterly wind prevailed. There is no sign of the departure of the frost. Large masses of ice are floating in the Seine. The Memorial Diplomatique states, with an air of of :;ial authority, that in the Circular Note ad dressed on the sth of December to England, France, and Russia, the Porte accuses Greece of trampling under foot the general rules of neutrality, and even the most solemn engagements. The Porte then invites foreign powers to remember that whatever may arise, Greece is herself alone responsible for a position which is no longer supportable. As to the island of Candia, the Porte asserts that among the ranks of the insurgents there is now scarcely one native, but that the partial struggle is kept up by emissaries from abroad. A letter from Naples, dated Jan. 15, says that since the previous day a violent tempest has pre vailed, which had done serious damage to the vessels in the port and bay. About 20 vessels had been sunk, and others were in great danger. Only four lives were known to have been lost. At Baja four vessels were lost. A terrible explosion has taken place at Fosse- Sen tinelle, near Mons, in a charcoal pit. Eight bodies had been recovered, and many workmen were severely burnt. Mons and Charleroi are the chief towns of France where coal mines exist. A controversy has been raised as to whether the lately deceased actress, Mdlle. Georges, was born at Amiens or Bayeux. The question, however, is now set at rest by the discovery of the lady's bap tismal register. It states that on Saturday, Feb. 24, 1787, the vicar of St. Patrice, Bayeux, bap tised a girl born the previous day, who was the legitimate daughter of George Wemmer and. Marie Verteuil, living in that parish, and that the name of Marguerite Josephine was given to her. M. Marc Fournier, the director of the Porte St. Martin, the scene of many of the triumphs of Mdlle. Georges, has written to the younger sister to say that in com memoration of them he - intends to give'for her bene fit an annual representation at that theatre, the minimum produce of which he guarantees to be 2,400 f. The amount .is to be paid to Madame Georges, the younger, monthly in advance. M. Ingres, the painter, leaves by his will to his native town, Montauban, his magnificent painting of " Jesus before the Doctors," and his magnificent collection of works of art, with the exception of a few private legacies, for instance, his own portrait, which he leaves to his wife. M. Ingres has also bequeathed to the town of Montauban his valuable collection of sketches. PARIS, Monday Evening. Although the whole of the Cabinet Ministers re signed, as you will have learnt by telegraph, the actual Ministerial change will be but trifling, at least for the present. M. Rouher is appointed Minister of Finance in the room of M. Fould. Marshal Niel has accepted the office of Minister of War in the room of Marshal Bandon. Admiral Rigault de Geneuilly is named Minister of Marine and the Colonies in the room of the Marquis Chasseloup Laubat ; and M. Forcade de la Roquette has become Minister of Agriculture, Com merce, and Public Works, in the room of M. Behic. M. Behic, however, has received the cross of the Legion of Honour, and is raised to the dignity of Senator. Thus there is no change in the important offices of the Minister of the Interior and Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Marquis de la Valette and M. de Moustier retaining their functions as well as the rest of the Ministers, the Emperor not having been willing to accept their resignations. I learn from a source on which reliance may be placed that at the Cabinet Council held on Satur day there was some difference of opinion in regard to the policy of discontinuing the discussion oil the address in the Chambers, and that at its close the Ministers tendered their resignations. As the dif ference of opinion among the Ministers was very partial the resignation of the greater portion of the Cabinet was merely formal, and it was at once withdrawn at the desire of the Emperor. The course adopted of abandoning discussion on the address has long been talked of, and therefore the letter of the Emperor to M. Rouher has not taken anybody by surprise. There seems to be almost general concurrence in - the arguments and explanations of the Moniteur upon the subject. The official journal says :—" Everybody has been struck with the fact that discussions on the address tend more and more to divert attention from the topics mooted by the hour in the speech." only sup.. i n The Moniteur proceeds to confirm the opinion of lossthe Emperor, that valuable e t suchtim. T e discussionshisargument ported by the official records of the time em ployed in discussions on the address for six years past. In 1861 the time occupied in the discussion on the address was one month and 18 days ; in 1862, one month and 23 days ; in 1863, one month ; in 1864, no less than two months and 24 days ; in 1865, two months ; in 1866, one month and 28 days. It is a striking fact, too, that th ese discus sions were of a desultory character, a n d t h at which ever way the vote went the decision did no t i nvolve w— again ref er t o c the great argument policy. With e settlement of the M oniteur, asforcible as it is true, that at t the e Chamberremarks a ill n important p o i nt of have two modes of demonstrating its opinion upon the spee c h a t the opening of the session —first by th e order of the day pure and simple, if it find th at there is no foundation for the interpretations, and by send ing the points back for the consideration of the Government, shotild the question appear to it to merit especial attention. In conclusion, the Monileur says--" What the country demands above all is that t rut h , justice, and the general welfare should be t r i umphant in the discussions. In this respect the decree will be considered by all rational men as realising a nota ble improvement." At present the Paris papers do not seem to have had time to consider the scope of the decree abo lishing the discussion on the address. Zhe Siecle, always earnest or disapproving of, everything said and done by the Government, of course censures it, but in a comparatively moderate spirit. Its chief objection seems to be iu reference to the announced law for referring offences of the press to the cor rectional tribunals. "We should prefer," says the Siecle, " in default of a jury, the administrative in tervention, because it offered to .the press a eel.— tain guarantee in the moral responsibility of the functionaries who had jurisdiction over it. As ,to the right of meeting which is announced that will certainly be accepted with satisfaction by the coun try." The Emperor has addressed the following letter to Madame Ingre s : The Empress j o i ns i n " Palace o f th e Tuiler i es, J an. 16, 1867. " Madam e ,—l take a sincere share in your gr i e f . it, and all France shares it. Receive, with my condolence, th e assurance of my feelings. " NAPOLEON." From the last census it appears that there are eight cities in France with more than 100,000 in habitants. Paris, 1,825,274 ; Lyons, 323,954 ; Marseilles, 300,131 ; Bordeaux, 194,241; Lille, 154,749 ; Toulouse 126,936 ; Nantes, 111 , 956 ; Rouen, 100,671. Fifteen cities have a population of more than 50,000, viz., St. Etienne, Strasburg, Brest, Toulon, Havre, Roubaix, Amiens, Rheims, Nismes, Mulhouse, Montpellier, Metz, Angers, Limoges, and Nice. This inclement weather has just given rise to various experim en t s. A scient ifi c wr iter says that if you hold a b a ll of snow over the flame o f a can dl e it will instantly melt into drops of water if a thaw be imminent. On the contrary, should there be more snow coming the snowballs will become hollow, and more than half of the snow will be absorbed without giving a drop of water. lle made the ex periment in Alsace, where there is a great quantity of snow, and as the snowball became hollow without Yielding water he augurs that the thaw will not come yet. In addition to rare fruits and various choice pro ducts of the soil, sent from Smyrna to the Exhibi tion, is a collection of very curious and splendid dolls dressed in the various costumes of Asia Minor. A clever robbery has recently been effected at several tobacco shops, it is supposed by the same individual. The last victim is a lady who keeps a shop at No. 110, Rue de Rivoli. The thief went in and asked for two sous worth of tobacco. While it was being weighed he dexterously removed the handle by which the shop door is opened from the interior. He then offered a sfr. piece, and when the change was tendered, he snatched both change and sfr. piece from the lady's hand and ran off When he shut the door from the outside it could not be opened from the inside, and thus it was im possible to pursue the thief. The shopkeeper, there fore, could not get out herself until she beckoned to a passer-by, who sent for a locksmith to open the door. According to the account of a French gossiping writer from Cannes that town can boast of the presence of many European celebrities. Earl Rus sell is or was there ; and among other visitors are M. - Mermiee, M. Barthelemy St. Hilaire, M. Gamier Pages, the Bishop of Orleans, and a host of well known political characters in addition to those named. Victor Cousin was there till death re moved him ; and another literary man, M. Leon Rossignol, editor of " Paris Cascade," has just died there. The rides about Cannes are sometimes so filled with fashionables as almost to resemble the rides and drives about Hyde Park. As to Lord Brougham, although he wrote a letter to M. Berryer the other day, containing a melancholy foreboding that there would be an early close of his career, the noble lord is said to believe in a theory that he has yet a long life before him, because he evades the winter by passing it in the temperate climate of Cannes. He passes every winter at his villa, the first that was built in the locality. The winter, in Lord Brougham's opinion, is the cause of all the ills which flesh is heir to. There is a summer health and a winter health. The latter is always the worst of the two. It is winter which brings colds, throat diseases, rheumatisms, and all the morbific causes which destroy the animal economy and precepitate " the last scene of all." Cut off the winter, and you suppress at the same time all diseases, and not only do you not Offer any longer, but instead of dying you go out as gently as a lamp that wants oil. This theory,. to a certain 'extent, resembles that pro pounded by M. Floureus, a French savant. M. Floureus contends that man is killed by his passions. Lord Brougham believes it is the bad weather that kills him. The weather to-day has been much the same as yesterday, a bright sunshine, but excessively cold. There is no sign of the departure of the frost. The snow lies as solidly as ever around Paris. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA. (By Atlantic Telegraph.) NEW YORK, Jan. 21, Evening.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. There was a Cabinet Council yesterday at the Tuileries, the Emperor as usual presiding. A Vienna paper contains a letter from Miramar, which states that a consultation of physicians had taken place, and that they had declared that the Empress of Mexico was completely cured. Her Majesty was about to make a journey of con valescence. Count Tecchio de Raya, agent and consul-general of the King of Italy at Bucharest, has been received at a formal audience, and in the presence of the Minister of Foreign Affairs had presented his letters of credence to the reigning Prince of Roumania, as Minister at that court. A decree, dated the 17th of January, is published in the Moniteur for the Minister of Marine and the Colonies, reorganising the corps of paymasters of the navy. Among the new regulations is one to the effect that the paymasters shall no longer be chosen from among the officers and agents of the marine corps, which will facilitate the advancement of per sons employed in the pay department. Another regulation is that writers shall henceforward be subjected to examinations, so that only young men possessed of a certain degree of instruction will be enrolled. Some very interesting details have been submitted to and approved of by the Emperor connected with the census which took place in the latter part of 1866 relative to the population of France. They have been arranged by the Marquis de la Valette, the Minister of the Interior. It appears that in spite of the evil influence of the epidemics which have prevailed during the last five years in nearly every part of France, in spite of the causes of indisposition which particularly affected certain regions, for instance, the silkworm disease and (that of the vines, the cotton crisis, and other circumstances, the increase of popu lation was not reduced. The 89 departments of France contained, in 1861, 37,386,161 inhabitants. According to the census of 1866 it amounted to 38,067,094 persons, thus giving an increase in five years of 680,933 inhabitants. in this calculation the soldiers and sailors who, on the 15th of May, 1866, the date of the Army census, were employed in Algeria, Rome, Mexico, and in the colonies, and naval stations, amounting to about 150,000 men, are not included. The population is thus divided : Males 19,014,109 ; females, 19,052,985. Total, 38,067,094. The increase during the five years (1856. to 1861) in the ancient 86 departments was 677,738. In 1866 it was 673,797, or a compara tive diminution -of 3,941; but this small difference is more than compensated by the increased number of troops who were absent from France, and was, consequently, not included in the census. The three new departments give 787,392 inhabitants to the general increase, which thus amounts to 680,933. Fifty-eight departments are in progress, and give an excess of 787,392 inhabi tants. In the other 31 departments the diminution is 106,459. The chief increase, of course, was in the department of the Seine, which includes Paris. It amounts to 197,256. The greatest diminution was in the department of La Manche, and amounts to 17,522. In the Bouches du . Rhone there was an increase of 16,155. In 1861, of 86 departments, 57 showed an increase, and 28 a decrease. The proportion was about the same in 1866. The decrease is chiefly to be attributed to the emigration of the inhabitants to more in dustrial localities, where . higher wages are paid. This change, however, does not exclusively refer to large towns, as the tables prove. As a summary; these tables show that there has been a sensible amelioration in the movement of the popu lation after 1856. The increase in the last ten years (exclusive of the three new departments) was 1,358,671; whilst for 1846 to 1856 it was only 738,878. A comparison of the figures shows that the population progresses, and is commensurate with the development of the general prosperity. The Messager du Midi of Thursday last states that the snow had then ceased to fall, and the atmosphere had again become bright and clear. The communications had again become free. It is stated from Nismes that so much snow had not been seen since 1855. The snow there was at an average depth of half a yard. Similar accounts are given from other towns. In Paris to day, although it has been bright sunshine all day, MEXICO. Advices received here from Mexico state that Juarez left Chihuahua, on Dec. 10, for Durango, to establish his capital. It is reported that Mejia has been defeated near San Luis Potosi. Several prominent Republican generals have ad hered to the cause of Ortega, who has issued a proclamation reciting his claim to the presidency. The merchants of Monterey are reported favour able to Maximilian. The American steamers Continental and Panama have been seized on the Pacific coast by the Repub lican General Corona because the owners held a grant under Maximilian. The Republicans had occupied Mazatlan, and had perpetrated great barbarities. The report of the execution of Escobedo has been denied. THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE MAILS. PLYMOUTLI, Jan. 22. The 'Union Company's steamer, Celt, with the above mails, arrived here this morning. Her dates are Cape of Good Hope, 19th December ; St. Helena, 27th ; and Ascension 31st. She brings 52 psssengers, among whom are Colonel Fellows, of the Cape Staff, and Col. Dunne of the 99th Regi ment. The mails have been landed and forwarded, and the Celt has proceeded for Southampton. The Capo Parliament continued in session, and it was not known when the prorogation would take place. A great deal of time had:been consumed in the discussion of the proposals of the select commit tee of the House of Assembly on the con templated retrenchments in the expenditure. Resolutions in support of the general conclusions at which the committee had arrived were carried and transmitted to the governor. His Excellency passed them on to the Legislative Council, and the latter to-day expressed its general concurrence therein. The Colonial Secretary stated in the House of Assembly that the estimates for 1867 would be ready by Dec. 26, but added that Government was disinclined to submit the same, except with the understanding that the House would go through with them. This the members had pledged themselves to do. Nothing was known with certainty with respect to the character of the Government scheme, but an impression was gaining ground that it would be a comprehensive one, and go much further than either the retrench ment committee or Parliament had ventured. The amended Customs' tariff had passed through the House of Assembly, from the operations of which some additions to the revenue were expected. There would, however, still be a considerable dif ference between the debtor and creditor sideof colonial accounts, and it was anticipated that he would again have to authorise Government to negotiate a loan. Trade was still gradually, though slowly, reviving, and crops were being harvested in a very favourable condition. The House of Assembly had voted £l,OOO to defray the expense of the colony at the Paris Exhibition. Matters on the frontier of the Orange Free State remained peaceable. Cattle-stealing was continued by the natives, but there seemed no probability of peace being dis turbed. The Union Company's steamship Mauritius re mained on Table Bay slip ; all efforts to remove her had failed, but another was about to be tried. The Cape of Good Hope Agricultural Show, held in Cape Town on the 28th, had been highly creditable to all who had taken a share in it. Amongst the new industries which these shows were calculated to encourage were manufactured tobacco and cigars, of both of which samples were shown. The Roman arrived out on December 16th, and the Kaffraria on December 10th. HUNGARY. PESTI!, Jan. 22. The Governor of Transylvania has addressed re monstrances to the Austrian Government against the Imperial patent upon the organisation of the army. The Deak party deny that au understanding ex ists between Her Pulszky and the German political leaders in Vienna. It is believed that a Hungarian Ministry will be appointed. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Jan. 22. Yesterday a conference took place in this city be tween the plenipotentiaries of the Governments, members of the North German Confederation. Their assent is said to be assured to the whole Prussian scheme of a Federal Constitution. DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, Jan. 21. In to-day's sittings of the Volksthing the Govern ment were asked when the Cabinet proposed to communicate to the House a report on the foreign policy hitherto followed by Denmark, and also upon the diplomatic negotiations conducted with foreign Powers.

The following letter was addressed to the editor of the Morning Star on Friday last by Archbishop Manning : " Sir,—ln one of your leading articles of to-day, :you have made a free use of my name. "Trusting to I know not what rumours, you have stated-1. That a paper called the Westminster Gazette is under my direction. 2. That a certain article in its last number was written by me. 4 4 Both these statements are absolutely untrue. I request you therefore to state with equal publicity —l.. That I am neither directlynor indirectly con nected with the Westminster Gazette. 2. That 1 have never written a line in it ; and that, as to the article in question, I neither know by .whom it was written nor have read a word of it. g 4 I should not have thought it necessary to take notice of your statements if you had not used my name to cast odium upon the Catholic Church in England. 4 , I leave it to your sense of honour and of deli cacy to make the reparation which your article of to-day reTlirQ3 ; andl rerrunt yy,t to ia_ert thi s contradiction of its statements in your next number. —I am, sir, your obedient servant, io HENRY E. MANNING." The leading columns of the Star, referring to the above communication, contained the subjoined apologetic and explanatory amende We have received a letter from Archbisho'p' Manning emphatically denying the authorship, and indeed repudiating any knowledge, of the article in the Westminster Gazette to which we yesterday re ferred. We publish Dr. Manning's letter with great pleasure, and are gratified to hear that he had nothing to do with the production of an article con taining such a doctrine. It 'is due to ourselves to add that we nowhere stated that the article was Dr. Manning's, or written under his inspiration. We found it attributed to him, and commented on as his, in the leading columns of at least two of the London daily papers, journals both of them parti cularly free from polemical bitterness or unfairness of any kind. We saw it stated in these and seve ral other papers that the Westminster Gazette owed any importance it has to its being established unthr Dr. Manning's patronage. But we did not, even with these examples before us, state or assume that the article was Dr. Manning's. 'We asked whether it was his, and showed how strangely inconsistent, if it were his, his doctrine would be with his recent speech at Birmingham. And wo are bound to say, too, that we have received distinct assurances that doctrines like that of the WestittinAer Gazette had been preached by Dr. Manning. Of course, we accept wino the less cordially his emphatic repudia tion of the article, and are glad to do all in our power to contradict the reports which attributed it to his inspiration." The following is the leading article above referred to as having appeared in the Star of Friday morn ing : Within the last seven days Archbishop Manning is supposed to have been twice, and is known to have been once, before the public. And there is a contrast which troubles us between the supposed appearance of the Arch bishop last Saturday and his undoubted appearance last Tuesday. The former was in the columns of the IVest minster Gazette. In that journal, which owes its import ance wholly to its reputed connection with Dr. Manning, there appeared an article which was simply the most un blushing defence of intolerance that has been made in this country for many years. And that article is said every where to have been written by or under the inspiration of the Archbishop. But his speech at Birmingham was con ceived in a spirit not only different from but quite irre concileable with the argument which the Westminster Gazette put forth. It is impossible to imagine a more com mendable speech or a more objectionable article; and the public may fairly demand to know to which of the two we are to look for the Archbishop's real sentiments. Was he a sheep in wolf's clothing on Saturday, or a wolf in sheep's clothing on Tuesday ? Or will ho disown all connection with the Westminster Gazette article, and give it the benefit of his archiepiscopal annihilation ? Unfortunately for persons who try to look two ways at once, every public man is amenable in these days to a very vivid and exact ing public opinion; and, unfortunately for Dr. Manning, ho is decidedly identified with teaching much more con formable to the tenour of his article—if it was in any sense his—than to that of the speech which we know him to have actually delivered. The situation is a very awk ward one for him, and a very awkward one for his communion in this country. The article in the Westminster Gazette revives all the worst prejudices which were put aside when the Roman Catholic Emancipation Bill was passed. Unless it is disavowed, more will bo needed to efface the impression produced by it than. even so florid and AYS. exuberant a burst of Liberalismas that in which the Arch bishop indulged at Birmingham. Other things are alleged against Rome by its enemies besides intolerance and perse cution. Mental reservation, equivocation, prevarication , and "Jesuitry" in general, aro all believed by thousands of Englishmen to be peculiarly characteristic of and insepar able from Catholicism. If Dr. Manning leaves the matter where it now stands, it will resound from our pulpits, ring fromour platforms, and pass round and across our dinner tables, that his policy is to work his Church up by profess ing a love of religious equality in his speeches, and at the same time to keep alive in his growing flock, by means of articles addressed solely to them, a spirit of persecution , which, when by insidious arts they have grown into a majority, may fl►me forth iu persecution, and burn up fiercely and for ever the liberties of the Protestants. Of course these are contingencies which very few reasonable people will entertain. But then the majority of people are not very reasonable on questions of religious rivalry. An earnest religionist must be a very enlightened man indeed never to have to check some remnant or upsp:inging o f bigotry within him, and many a man is quite earnest enough to be a bigot who is not earnest enough to be re ligious in any sense. With all such the espousal of in tolerance by Archbishop Manning, aggravated, as it will be deemed to be, by his artful speech, as it will be called, at Birmingham, will do not only the Catholics. but the general cause of religious freedom the greatest injury. We put it to the Archbishop —we know we need not put Nu) the majority of English Catholics—whether this is not a result most deplorable in itself and most adverse to the true interests of religion and liberty alike. Nay, we go further; we ask whether some consideration is not duo to the really Liberal generation which has grown up since the Email' cipation Act was passed. They know little of the bigotries of their fathers. They can hardly conceive that it Was ever thought worth while to forbid Roman Catholics poli tical privileges lest they should get the upper hand. They ridicule the folly of the opponents in having supposed that in these latter days the Catholics would ever persecute as all religionists used to do in times gone by. But how are they to remain in this wholesome, liberal condition of mind- -how are they to be prevented from going back to the old prejudices, and regretting the credulity of those who emancipated the Catholics—if Catholics of the highest mark and authority distinctly tell thorn that persecution is still the doctrine of their Church, and leave us to suppose that the hateful and abominable doctrine was only laid aside dishonestly, and for a time, with a view to gain poli tical and social advantages ? Who would guarantee the continued liberality and toleration of a thoroughly Pro testant nation thus distinctly and almost officially told that it had been induced to abolish the disabilities of Roman Catholics upon false pretences, and that it was the distinct policy of the Roman Catholics to advance from equality to predominance, from predominance to supremacy, from supremacy to the forcible suppression of error ? Nay , what claim can Catholics who talk thus have to the liberty which is essential to the practice of their religion ? Only the claim which malignant but powerless fanatics have to th tolerant contempt of a generous and invulnerable Power, hose indulgence they would fain ungratefully abuse. To ppreciate the justice of those severe words it is only nacos ary to read the article in the Westminster Gazette which Dr. Manning's speech so flatly _contradicts. That article in sists that "Catholic doctrine teaches us that a civil ruler in no respect transgresses his province by punishing Offences against the Catholic religion as such," and says that as "it is impossible by direct argument to make Protestants understand the reasonableness of this principle, because they do not, of course, recognise the terrible evils which ensue from a nation's rejection of Catholicism," the only way of "arguing with thorn is to take an illustration from some religious doctrine of which they themselves admit the sacredness and the vital importance." It is surely not necessary to proceed further to prove that the doctrine of persecution is broadly advocated by Archbishop Man .. ning's organ, as, indeed, it has been ere now, as we under stand, by the Archbishop himself. We have not space to follow the argument, which is simply an attempt to prove that it is as essential for Catholics to repress Protestantism as it is fur Protestants to prevent polygamy ; but we may at once say that in the only sense in which a conscientious; Protestant could admit its force, it would bind him to withdraw every privilege of worship, or even of expression of his opinions, that a Catholic now enjoys. And with this in our memory, we take up the report of Archbishop Manning's speech at Birmingham. In that speech we find not only rejoicings over the liberality of ,Protestant ma gistrates who have adopted the Prison Ministers' Bill, but we find it attributed to "equity and Christian justice ;" although, according to the article in the Westminster Gazette, for a Protestant to give, or even allow, Catholic prisoners a Catholic chaplain can neither be Christian i lea reasonable. The Westminster Gazette says that " those principles on the State repression of religious error which the Church authoritatively teaches are those which reason by itself would indicate as alone sound and true." But Archbishop Manning says, "if wo cannot re-enter into it perfect unity, we may at least enter upon that silver period, loss perfect than the first, in which, though we are not united in one faith, we may be united in kindliness, ill mutual consideration, and justice ono with another, and equity to those who differ from us." The conduct of Protestants in not adopting the Prison Ministers' Bill is obviously justified by the Westnzinster Gazette, but Archbishop Manning condemns it, though be charitably adds—"l am quite aware that those Iv" hithert) have not• carried the statute law into effect have not done so with any deliberate intention of depriving the poor Catholic prisoner, or the Catholic pauper, of his religion. I believe that it is the effect of old passive habit, of old immobility —that old stagnation which, if i t runs, runs like those streams so thick and turbid that their motion is hardly visible." Is that stagnant, turbid, stupid, un-Christian, and inequitable in Protestant s which would be in the highest degree Christian, en lightened, wise, and j us t i n C a th o li cs ? O r i s D r. Elan" content to accept from Protestants, and even to praise as Christian and wise, a liberty which he would deem himself un-Christian and a fool to grant to Pro testants were he in absolute power? We fear to weary our readers with quotations, but the positively ludicrous character of the Archbishop's alleged inconsistency can ' not be appreciated without reference to the following passag -, :—" The Sovereign ruutiff, the Vicar of our Divine Ma.t.r, stands alone, by a power which depend° not upon empires, nor on dynastic; nor on legislature/Jr nor upon the will of man, but he-is walking on the water —walking by a supernatural power—suspended by th e providence of God, which is the will of His divine laW• Here is the only point of stability in the world, for if nations are to be stable, it is to be in justice, and if justice is v .., ne done, the religion of men must be respected. Look at Australia and at Canada, the two most flourishing outskirts of the British empire. Why are they peaceable and prosperous? Because perfect equality and equity prevail between Catholic an d Protestant, and they all stand alike upon one level' Tho mother country has to learn a lesson of wisdom of her daughters. Australia and Canada may teach England and Ireland in like manner, to walk hand in hand in equity and in charity." Now, it is absurd enough for au advocate of persecution as obvious policy and undoubted Christian duty to point to Americel Australia, and Canada as examples of nations which earn the Divine favour by the perfect equality and equity with which they respect all religions ; but what are we to say when we find the Pope quoted in the same connection with an artful hiatus in the reasoning which leaves us t ° believe that he too owes the stability of his Governmen t, forsooth, to the same cause? We know what we ar e tempted to think, and what we must think, unless the Archbishop explains himself. We shall simply hold the head of the Catholic community in England to be self convicted of the strangest disingenuousness, as well as ° f advocating retrograde and reactionary ideas which it i 0 equally unjust and ungrateful foi an English Catholic tO promulgate. A New Candidate for the Peerage. Among those gentlemen whom common repor t gives forth as likely to be called to the House of Lords is Andrew Fountayne Wilson Montagu, of Melton Park, in the :vicinity of Doncaster, fatal' liarly known in those parts as " to Squire." Among his supporters we do not think that Lord Derby could have made a better selection. If very larg e lauded possessions, and the influence which ever will belong to territorial estates in the hands cu " those who know the rights and duties of property' constitute a claim to ennoblement, that claim is. Pre; eminently possessed by Mr. Montagu. Our lande d proprietors and great territorial lords ge neralif i tremble at the very name of the B a ll o t-b o x, 313 ' 4 believe that their political sway would vanish unde r a free and protected vote. IV e differ in politiO with Mr. Montagu, but honestly believe that th e tenantry of his extensive estates, Ballot or no BOA would poll at elections for the candidate of " U. ; Squire." Addison tells us that Sir Roger c 1 Coverley always declined interfering with the opi nions of others because he was very tenacious of own. On that maxim, as well as on the princill i so often toasted, though not always carried out, of " live and let live," think for yourself and let oth er ' think for themselves, Mr. Montagu has ever act ed ' and we consequently believe that, although a no de ; rate Tory, Mr. Montagu's elevation to the peerag e will be acceptable to men of all parties. We " 0 reason to know that Mr. Montagu sometie le r appears in print, particularly on the subject of gunnery and rifle practice, writing with much cic ness, and a scientific knowledge of his subjee v : the practical knowledge of such a man would be i relief to the pipeclay too general on the Conuit t ! eo do of both Lords and Commoners, called on to d e % . upon the vexed questions of arms and armaruen —The Examiner. an At; Ea -Pri 1 301 tUr COu pre don Cot e'er, Cet CoI stew Ti t Cr( Tat( P all eoui a 1 1 / 4 , ew 1 3 e] /t ow 13 ( 4014 D, D ( .atit qi ; Ar go Al lot Ur az ; nn va: At 10' D o n o 1)0
