:RAIL IV, 'GENCE. LAKE SUPERIOR AND MINNESOTA RAILROAD COMPANY. The value of the Illinois Central Railroad Com pany, as an investment, was based by its original projectors upon the presumed ultimate returns to be derived from the sales of its lands, received as a sub sidy from the Government ; and it was generally believed that, sooner or later, this would equal the entire cost of construction of the road. The land subsidy to the Lake Superior Road is fully three times greater per mile than that of the Illinois Central, being one million six hundred and thirty-two thousand (1,632,000) acres for a road only 150 miles in length, while its value in the character of the soil, the heavy ship timber, and the depoiits' of coal, iron, slate, and auriferous metal in abundance thereon, permits no comparison between theta acre by acre; and it is believed by parties competent to judge, corroborated by the United States' official surveys and reports--that, with the road completed, the lands will be worth fully worth fully double the entire cost of construction. The shares have lately advanced in New York to 35 per cent premium, and, it is now contended, will continue to advance, under this belief, to a very much higher price. We notice by the American papers that Messrs. J. Edgar Thomson, of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company ; Samuel M. Felton and Isaac M. Hinckley, of the Philadelphia and Baltimore Rail road Company ; J. Moorhead, of Jay, Cooke, and Co. ; and R. Macomb, of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, have joined the direztion of the Lake Superior and Minnesota Railroad Corn. pany, and with their associates have supplied the means promptly to complete thirty miles of the road without any debt whatever, thus securing its grants and subsidies so liberally extended to it by both the United States and State Governments. The prime motive, however, of the parties who have taken this matter in hand, while stimulated by its promised return, is to form a shorter connection than now exists between the great grain region of Minnesota, via the lake system, and the seaboard over the Philadelphia, and Erie and Pennsylvania Ittil way lines. It is well known that the finest wheat of the United States comes from S.W. Minnesota, but it is not so well understood that wheat at St. Paul, via this route, is nearer the seaboard than when carried 460 miles, as at present, it has reached Chi- cago. Another motive is the direct connection with the Northern Pacific Road, which will without a doubt receive a new and substantial subsidy from the United States Government at the present session of Congress. We shall have occasion to refer to these matters hereafter when more fully developed. I'ENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD COMPANY. From official sources we learn that the heavy masonry section at Mount Union, on the line of the Pennsylvania Railway Company, having been completed, they have been enabled to open their double track, the entire length of their main line between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh ; on a portion of their line they have a third track as well. The nett earnings of this company for the first nine months of their fiscal year, applicable to dividends on their common shares, have already reached nearly twelve per cent. on the capital stock. "To persons given to ideal recreation, and to whom it is a joy to contemplate an imaginary rail road built in opposition to the Pennsylvania Rail road between the Delaware River and the Ohio State line, it might be of advantage to consider the probable efficiency and possible capacity of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company when it shall have added to its two tracks a third track, and to its third track a fourth track, between Philadelphia and Pittsburg ! " The Pennsylvania Railroad passes through water gates across the entire mountain system of Penn sylvania, the Allegheny main summit excepted, along rivers which have ,their sources in the crest of the Allegheny, where it is pierced by a tunnel. From the west portal of the Allegheny tunnel the Pennsylvania Railroad descends Wong the Cone maugh and out and ou through open passes in Laurel mountain and Chestnut ridge ; from the east portal of the Allegheny tunnel the Pennsylvania Railroad descends along the Juniata through a succession of sundered mountain chains and ridges till the Sus quehanna is reached, and thence along the Susque hanna till the South mountain, the last of the series, is passed through. Where the mountain passes arc narrow, and the mountain sides precipi tous, the tracks may be divided to occupy both edges of the available water-way. " This line, whatever may be done in the folly and madness of opposition in after years, will re main master of the situation. By appropriating two tracks to freight trains, fast freight can be started off in advance, leaving unobstructed right of way for heavy freight on slow time ; the passenger tracks to be appropriated to express and accommo dation trains, so that different speeds may be run and harmony of motion preserved, as per time table adjusted to the requirements of local and through travel, and to economy in transportation of fast and slow freight—slow time being conducive to profit in the freight department. The Pennsylvania Railroad in its present con dition is the grea,t.st, of the trunk lines between the East and the West ; and the Pennsylvania Railroad in its foreshadowed enlargement of track and train c ipacity will maintain its rank as the best outlet to the ocean, fro►n the network of iron roads in the Mississippi Valley ; also and likewise as the Atlantic end of a dominant national trunk line through the zNie of States on the fortieth parallel across the Continent, with as many discharging train-ways in cities on tide water as there are mouths of the Mississippi River emptying into the Gulf, from 20,000 miles of inland river navigation."—Phila delphia Railroad Register. CINCINNATI, November 19.—The reorganisation of the Mississippi Railway is complete. The new board of directors are Wm. Aspinwall, James W. Allsop, Allan Campbell, William Whitenight, jun., S. F. Odell, W. Scarborough, Larp Anderson, William D. Griswold, Alexander 11. Lewis, John 11. Ross, Samuel and Lewis 13. Parsons. William D. Griswold was elected president, Alexander H. Lewis vice-president, and John W. Conlove gene ral superintendent. The new corporation closed the settlement of the difficulties with the city of Cincinnati, and secured all desirable accommodatio❑ i❑ the city. The gross earnings of the Vermont Central and Vermont and Canada Railroads in the year ending with last May were $1,783,991, the total expendi ture $1,300,863, and the net earnings $483,128. Since June 1, the earnings show an increase of $42,734 over the same months 1 tst year. To meet maturing liabilities $146,896 are held in re serve. Worcester, Massachusetts, talks of building a new depot, to accommodate all the railroads cen treing there. The next Legislature of Massachusetts will be petitioned to charter a branch of the New London Northern Railroad from Palmer, through Wilbra ham, Ludlow, and Chicopee, to Holyoke. The Wall-Street Journal tells us :—" A meeting to organise a company for the building of a railroad along the shore of Lake Ontario, from Oswego to Lewistown, on the Niagara River, a, distance of 140 miles, has been held in Oswego. The capital stock is $4,000,000, which, it is estimated by competent engineers, will build and equip it ready for use. The Directory of Vie St. Paul and Lake Superior Railroad Company has been reorganised, and now embraces the names of J. Edgar Thomson and Samuel M. Felton, of Pennsylvania ; Isaac Hinck ley, President of the Philadelphia and Baltimore Railroad ; J. Moorhead, of the firm of Jay, Cooke, and Co., and R. M'Comb, National Pacific Rtil - road. The work on the road is in active progress. The Special Committee on Southern Railroads has concluded the work of taking testimony, and the report to be made to Congress is now in course of preparation. It will show that the companies h av e paid their indebtedness to the Government as rapidly as they could; that they have been doing very littic business since, the close of the war, but that it ba3 Ven gradually improving. 131 1 1EIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. These are the moralisings of the Times on the cata strophe of Friday night, which deprived the metropolis of one of its largest theatres :—Well, we must be allowed our say, for we have our say, and, at the risk of seeming evil comforters, a duty to discharge. Of course, it is idle to say that a theatre ought not to be burnt. This edifice, too, was built, one may say, before the days of iron, and, as we have observed, before the introduction of the most dangerous features of the modern stage. It is for the future that we venture to repeat the warnings offered on some former like catastrophes. There is no reason whatever, we believe, why a theatre should not be entirely fire-proof. Where a boarded floor is necessary it can be laid over iron and concrete, and in that situation it will only burn very slowly, and can soon be extinguished. Walls, roofs, stair cases, passages, can all be made of uninflammable material. Of course, the danger is in the scenery and mechanism, and that must always be considerable ; but we are aware of no reason why a fire-proof curtain should not be usually left hanging between the stage and the orchestra, and why the apparatus should not be left to burn itself out where it is. The contingency to be con sidered is a fire breaking out during a performance, the house itself probably unusually full —of holi day folks, we will say, at Christmas -time. Had this fire broken out on Saturday instead of Friday, the audience would have had to make good their retreat much quicker than they are usually able to do, and that in the confusion of a panic. If anybody will just reflect xi the delays often encountered even in a house not very full, and when the ebbing stream flows regularly and evenly, he will see the possibility of a very bad quarter of an hour before eleven o'clock last Friday. A theatre is, or ought to be, entirely under public control, as to the plan of the edifice, as to the precautions against fire, and as to the character of the entertainment, and no design ought to pass the authorised surveyor unless it fulfils all the conditions of safety, both as to the material and the p'an. But, considering the facility and the cheapness of fireproof constructions, they ought to be held indispensable in a matter where life is so largely concerned. The audience of a theatre during the per formance of a pantomime, or an extravaganza, or a sensa tional drama; is in the position of travellers by an express train, or perhaps we ought to say an excursion train, run ning the gauntlet of any number of difficulties and possible obstructions. In this-case everything is either guaranteed by the State in regard to the permanent way, or under the protection of immense penalties in the shape of verdicts. It is true the State can never go behind the scenes, and check the lavish use of lights and fire among the most inflammable canvas scenes and apparatus. But the State can secure that the plan of the building shall confine to the smallest compass the inevitable danger from these sources. The Post remarks that if the population of Rome were to rise en masse and proclaim their union with Italy, it would be no part of the duty of France to intervene. That much is conceded—not, perhaps, by M. Rouher, but incontestably by the Convention of the 15th September. Of course, if the Holy Father can rule his own house, even as the Czar governs in Poland, ho is at liberty so to do. That only concerns the conscience of Catholicism. Cavour, it may be owned, strained international law to meet a moral requirement. It is competent to the Pope- King to put down insurrection, and to restore order to the best of his ability. The question is whether an opportunity of establishing the spiritual power of the Papacy on a better, purer, and more abiding foundation should be improved. Italy can wait, and ought to be able to dis count delay. But it is not given to any Power to say to the advancing wave of an acknowledged aspiration, " Hitherto shalt thou come, and no farther ;" and nothing can be more irritating than an attempt to define the limits in which a struggle for national existence is to be carried out. The Revolutionary party andthe Reactionary party are actively at work, and, seeing that between them Italy might be lost in a moment of hesitation or of imprudence, it behoves her well-washers to seta guard upon their words, and more particularly when those words are supposed to express the views of a friendly Government. The Telegraph, taking up the same subject, thus writes : The force of the words attributed to Messieurs de Mous tier and Rouher may in some quarters have been exag gerated, and it is well to remember that on several occa sions, in the excess of their zeal, the official exponents of the Emperor's policy have gone beyond his real meaning. Still, we cannot disguise from ourselves that the purport of the recent debates in Paris is to shew that France will not consent to the annexation of Rome. No doubt such a statement is bitterly galling to Italian pride, and is sure to create popular resentments, which will operate in the future course of public events. But until the Italians are able to maintain their own inde pendence, it would be undignified for them to quarrel with the bare assertion of a supremacy to which they submit as a matter of fact. Their Senate has acted wisely and with dignity in reply to the menaces of French politicians, by calmly reiterating the nation's claim to its chosen capital, and declining to take further action upon the matter. To know how to wait is the lesson which Cavour taught Italy. A disregard of the truthful lesson has brought her to her present plight, and the patient work of years will be required to undo the evil which a few days of feverish action have entailed upon a country which it is possible to love, not wisely, but too well. The Daily News informs us that as the year 1867 draws to a close there appear but few symptoms of that revival of public confidence which has been so anxiously awaited during the last eighteen months. Trade remains inert. Certainly the totals of our foreign exports appear fairly good, but against this,must be set the fact that our internal commerce—a far greater question—is even more inactive than could be expected from the financial and political circumstances of the day. People seem afraid to buy or sell, merchants to traffic, manufacturers to produce. Yet there is no mason to believe that the intrinsic wealth of the country has ex- perienced any diminution. Some individuals must have directly suffered severely, or perhaps been utterly ruined, by the great joint-stock failures of the past and present year ; but, nevertheless, the unfortunate losers form but a small minority of the nation. The indirect effect of these scandals still remains. Distrust appears, for the moment, nearly inerasable. As a rule, capital is every where kept back. Probably on no previous occlsion have the deposits in the banks been on so large a scale as now. The effect on the money market is seen by the low rates of discount which still prevail, notwithstanding the with drawals of gold from the Bank of England. A year and a half ago similar operations caused the Bank rate to be maintained at 10 per cent., with its consequent pr • lsure on commerce. Now it is somewhat languidly deJa,ted whether the same movement will end in a rise of from 2 to 2 per cent. In commenting on the conviction of Baker for the atrocious crime of the 24th of August, the Herald says : If it be conceded that there was actually no motive for the crime, we think no stronger instance could be found of that peculiar form of mania which has been denominated moral insanity, which, according to those who believe in its existence, consists of a disordered state of the feelings, passions, and emotions, and which may perfectly well co exist with an entirely undisturbed condition of the purely intellectual faculties. This kind of insanity is said to exist apart f rom any sort of hallucination or illusion,and to exhibit itself merely in a radical perversion of the moral sentiments. The existence of such a malady, however is most stre nuously controverted by a very large and authoritative section of those who have devoted their attention to the consideration of the subject, and it is certain that as a practical theory it is unknown to the law of this country, wllich, whether philosophically or not, makes the exist ence or non-existence of delusion the test of insanity when that plea is put forward to absolve an accused person from criminal responsibility. Of any such aberration of mind in the present case there was not a tittle of proof; and if Baker had been acquitted, the jury would have lent their sanction to the doctrine, which, however plausible in theory, is mischievous and inapplicable in practice, that moral depravity when it becomes sufficiently aggravated is to be denominated insanity, and dealt with as such, The Standard considers that it will bc-necessary for the President of the United States to act with extreme cau tion and tact. He is not popular, his sympathies with the South are suspected, his constitutionahsm is stricter than the people altogether approve, as it would seem to involve the complete restoration of all—except slavery—that the South has lost by the war, and any assumption of autho rity on his part to decide a constitutional question or to undertake reconstructive measures of nl own— nay, any expressions too violent or too severe against his adversaries, would probably once more turn the tide of public favour. All that he can safely or wisely do is, to watch for the blunders of his enemies. If he can be patient enough to wait, cool enough to refrain from angry expressions or hasty deeds, and wise enough to hold his tongue as to any ulterior hopes or purposes beyond the immediate preservation of the constitutional rights of the people, he may probably defy the utmost malice of Congress, resist its threats of deposition, and live to witness the accomplishment by his successor of that reunion which he cannot now achieve himself. But any imprudence or outbreak of temper on his part may involve the greatest misfortunes ; may entail on his policy a severe defeat, on the South a protracted military tyranny, and permanent industrial ruin ; on the United States at large a political entanglement out of which we can sec no other issue than the despotic government of a ininorit3r, or civil war for its destruction. in referring to the dreadful case of starvation at Brom. ley, the Seer regrets that false pride should have kept the un:1e) , 1,3: man Pritchard from the workhouse. Indepen dence is very well, but it may be carried too far ; and there is no independence in abstaining from recourse to the proper national fund for the relief of unavoidable and otherwise remediless 4 istress. We may be very sure that this poor man Pritchard paid his rates reg,u. letrly when in health and possessed of means, and the State to which he did his duty is bound to sec that lie and his shall not perish of hunger and cold when he can no longer earn food and fuel. There ought to be no sense of obligation in the matter, and if there had been none Pritchard would probably have kept his health, and found ? after an interval, some means of supporting his family in credit and in honour. Depend upon it, there is no pride more false than that which makes honest and respectable people prefer starvation to the union. It is a relic of days when poor relief was corruptly and disgracefully administered. It should be entirely baaished in these days. SuN, LON OON, MONDAY EVENING- DECEMBER 9, 1867. 'STION. Alletter from Rome, dated Nov. 80, says : The Pope continues his visits to the wounded soldiers, not only in the hospitals, but:also in the private places and convents where accommodation has been improvised for them. There is one at St. Nicola di Tolentino on a very small scale, where there are about nine soldiers, among them the fer vent Peruvian Sevilla I mentioned to you before. In spite of the confined space, he went even there on Monday, to the great consolation of the men. There are two very bad cases among them, which are likely to be a long time in getting well ; the others are going ou very favourably. After the Holy Father had visited and consoled the sick he suffered the little children to be brought to him, the care of whom is the ordinary occupation of the Sisters of Charity in this house. He listened while one little thing spoke an address with great arch ness, as well as great clearness of enunciation. The King and Queen of Naples, Marchese Patrizzi, who founded the institution, and several who have tended the wounded there, had the honour of being present. The Florence journals are propagating reports of his Holiness being in ill-health. 1 have seen him frequently of late, and I never saw him looking better. Deputations from the liberated provinces, with addresses expressive of devotion to the Holy See, continue still to come up. The Pope received one from Viterbo on Monday ; the wording of their address is even more energetic than that of Albano, which I sent you. Of the prospects of a Conference you probably hear more particular accounts than we do. It would seem that we are a long way as yet, however, from arriving at any common basis for discussion. There was a military reunion on the 24th ; more important in its bearings than either of those re ported in my last. All the French officers present at Mentana and all the Pontificals were invited by the Roman nobility as a demonstration from the whole body. Prince Barberini again threw open his palace, and the guests filled eight or nine of its large apartments. The assemblage was most brilliant. The Roman ladies wore their celebrated diamond parures, and the varied uniforms of the officers almost vied with their costumes in display of colour. The greatest cordiality reigned through out the evening. Everything was conducted on a scale of great liberality. The wine was reported to be particularly recherche, and the fête could not have cost less than from two to three thousand scu di. It would be curious to know from what occult source the writer of the Queen's Speech obtained the information, so unhesitatingly—l had almost said flippantly—vThlunteered, that the Papal territory is now relieved from all danger of external invasion. Was it a leap in the dark, or was it a weak reliance on false news, or a wilful perversion of obvious facts ? That a great victory has been obtained by the cause of order over disorder there is,,-no doubt, though the Queen's Speech forgets to con. gratulate us on that fact. But for any and who ought to have a statesman's knowledge of the mind and passions and propensities of the revolu tionary party in Italy to state, in the face of Eu rope, that the Papal territory is relieved from all danger of external invasion (" invasion" might have sufficed, by the way, without " external "), is worse than puerile ; it is very much like an insult to common sense. Before the journals of Europe, with all their rapidity of printing, have been able to reproduce the words, they are already falsified The Gazzetta d'ltalia, of the 26th, writes openly : —" . . The Garibaldian party is preparing for another coup de main on some quarter of the globe or other. We are infoimed that some thou sands of red-shirts are in activejpreparation. Feelers have been thrown out to try what is the disposi tion of the usual leaders of these affairs towards a new expedition ; others have declared their readi ness to embark in it without, however, guaranteeing the concurrence of their former companions in arms." Meantime the news has been coming in every day for a week past that red shirts are gathering all along both northern and southern frontiers. In spite of their being called " volunteers," it seems so difficult to find men to fight in such a cause that the most enormous bribes, besides the promise of booty, have to be held out to lure them into it as on the former occasion. At. Grvieto, for in stance, there are public recruiting depots, where a bounty of forty-five lire is offered, and two francs a day pay. Then, as all hordes of ma rauders want a captain, the moment the telegraph announces that the French fleet has left Toulon to fetch back the superfluous troops from Rome, Garibaldi, who all the time he has been in prison has been treated en prince, gets a convenient in di cal certificate that Varignano does not agree with his health (how many poor fellows at Portland Island might do the same !), and so he is forthwith sent to Caprera, that island so eminently easy to escape from, and consequently eminently wel aiapted to restore the drooping spirits of a pri soner. It is not impossible that the gathering bands may be reinforced by some, at least, of the 600 prisoners whom the Pope's clemency liberated last week. It is to be hoped the present news will keep him from letting loose any more, though, to he sure, their maintenance is a serious charge on the Pontifical exchequer, as they receive the same rations as the Papal troops, who are better fed than the French. ------ They were costing over 2,000 fran cs a day. - About 3,000 are said to be collected at Sora, 500 of whom have received full arms and equip ments, and were to start for Rieti, w hi c h seems whelming political necessity to leave Rome a prey to them. If he should, I am credibly informed there is a well-organized movement set on foot through out the country to send one Zouave, thoroughly equipped, and paid for year by year, if necessary, from every parish in France, which would provide an army of ninety-seven thousand men ! There seems something almost fabulous in this grand promise, but the following simple fact is scarcely less grand--that a subscription lately set on foot by the Bishop of Marseilles for the Papal army, produced in one day 50,000 francs, and 200,000 in less than a week. Some of the foreign papers, in speaking of the Irish and English contingent of the Papal army, were led, by a simple misapprehension of nationalities, into a curious fiction, which it would be well could it be realized. A short time ago a band of between fifty and sixty Irish volunteers came out under the leadership of a Scotch gentle man named Gordon. The account of this event, after undergoing various transformations, ap peared at last in this form :—That a band of 100 Scotchmen had come out equipped in their own national costume, and paid by Scotch Catholics, to be called the " Pope's own Highlanders," or " The Pope's Scottish Guard." I am glad to find that the barricades, which I mentioned last week were being taken down at the gates, are not to be removed altogether, for the best way to keep the Garibaldians at bay is to show them they would have no easy prey here. The barricades will be maintained, but they are being arranged so as not to interfere with the traffic through them. This is particularly interesting to visitors in the case of the Porta del Popolo, as it is through it you pass for the English, American, and Presbyterian Sunday service. We have had one or two instances this week of the ungrateful results of the too great lenity of the Pontifical Government towards political offenders. Had it a little of the ferocity ascribed to it, it might be better. So far from any unneces sary arrests being made, there are well-known Pied montese agitators,Mazzinian andGaribaldian agents, suffered to be living here at large. Government knows the temper of the people, and that it has nothing to fear from their attempts to tamper with them. But there remain their bomb-throwing and gunpowder-plot propensities, and in consideration of these it might have been wiser to have locked them up, out of the way of mischief, or to have requested them to return to their own country. A poor young Zouave was murdered in a dark alley, near the Piazzi di Venezia, a few nights ago, and the same night, almost at the same moment, a bomb was thrown near the Capitol, fortunately without doing mischief. The malefactors were luckily caught in both in stances—the one with his freshly -used dagger yet in his possession, and the other with an Orsini bomb in his pocket. It is much to be hoped that the Government here will take a lesson in firm ness from our own, and make an example of these two wretches, which would probably be sufficient to cure any others who may have similar dastardly inclinations. About fifty more Orsini bombs, and a barrel containing 100 lbs. of powder were found in the cellars of the Capitol. A quantity more were thrown into the Tiber to escape the hands of the police, as soon as it was found they were on the right scent. What would have been gained, beyond the satisfaction of brutish passions, in the destruction of a building which has been the centre of all popular movements in former ages, and is now the deposit of many priceless gems of art, it is difficult to see. Another instance of the savagery of these gentry is an official programme, which is in circulation in Florence, and everywhere else where they can push it, declaring what they would do if they could get the upper hand here. Fired by the glorious example of the first French Revolution, they would begin by a similar Reign of Terror, and lists of persons are marked for the guillotine to the number of between 8,000 and 9,000 ! It is confidently reported here, and that in well-in formed circles, that among the various takes of murderous weapons which the police have made were no less than four guillotines, with all in readi ness to be put together for use. This is hardly more remarkable than the dis covery, in certain large and heavy cases, addressed to Mr. Odo Russell, of Orsini bombs. Of course, an English diplomatist could not have lent himself to a scheme for the introduction of these " in fernal machines ;" but as he is known to be on terms of intimacy with several who pass for being heads of the revolutionary movement here, it seems to have been calculated that in his absence from Rome this liberty might be taken with his name. The police, however, who had only the fact of the bombs arriving with his correct address to deal with, naturally considered it their duty to visit an apartment thus rendered suspicious. It is situated, by an odd coincidence, in the Chigi Palace, belonging to the Papal Nuncio in Paris. On his arrival, Mr. Odo Russell complained to Cardinal Antonelli of the indignity offered him, and the Cardinal, with great moderation and de licacy, only referred the visit of the police to another circumstance which had also occurred, namely, information received that the Palazzo Chigi was one marked out by the Revolutionists for blowing up, and the police were seeking traces of a mine. It is not surprising, under the cir cumstances, that the telegraph announced on 'Wednesday evening that the English Government had pronounced itself perfectly satisfied with the Cardinal's explanations. This is, I am afraid, not the only instance in which English names have got mixed up in this dirty work. A quantity of gas pipes, sent out from England one day this week, were found by the police to be packed full of rifles. Of course, the English agents of the gas company disclaim all knowledge of the affair, but somehow the rifles there are, though fortunately now divested from the mischief for which they were destined. Before the new movements on the frontier, men tioned above, were declared, the French troops had been getting ready vigorously for departure, and as a preparatory measure they have been re turning to Rome from the provincial towns, and reinforcements of Papal troops have been sent out to take their place in garrisoning them. Every where within the Papal State the greatest tran quillity and content prevails. Protests have likewise been published from Viterbo, Bagnorea (the first scene of Garibaldian attacks on this occasion), Monte-fiascone, Acqua pendente, Bolsena, Toscanel!a, and other towns, denouncing the farce of a plebiscite, by which the pro-dittatori pretended to have annexed them in pursuance of popular will to Italy. I shall be curious to see if the English Protestant papers have the honesty to reproduce these. Nothing can be more outspoken nor better calculated to unmask the nature of Garibaldian tactics. That from Viterbo says :—‘, . . They have put down more thousand votes than allowing for women, minors, sick and absent, our town ever had inhabitants at all ! A few emigrati we know were there, and they it was who filled up the urn with voting-papers. The pacific bearing of the population on the night of the 24th of October, on which the aggressive horde was put to rout by the Pontifical troops, the public execration in which they were held during the invasion, the untiring vigilance of the Civic Guard (Guardia Cittadina) in the defence of the constituted au thorities and the religious communities, their lively exultation over their sudden departure itself, caused by the threatening attitude of the people towards them, and the spontaneous and cordial ovation with which the allied troops were re ceived, are themselves so many acts of protest against the above-named pretended popular vote, and at the same time eloquent demonstrations of the sincere attachment and filial devotion of the whole city to the Holy See." Bagnorea writes :—" . . . Our city was in vaded and retaken more than once by the Gari baldians after being delivered from their horrors by the valiant troops. For they had no sooner turned their backs than we were inundated by above two thousand Garibaldian invaders, and we will not here detail all the many difficult and painful trials we were called to endure, nor When stock-jobbers and brokers get up for their special benefit lying telegrams, fabricated in con nivance with their brother courtier on the French Bourse, or some other continental stock exchange, or even the black hole in New York, the general public very seldom hear of these dishonest pro ceedings, the dupe of the Exchange pockets his loss, but does not complain in public print, and we are sorry to say these occurrences are only too frequent. But what shall we say when a respect able Government, through its agents, accuses an other equally respectable Government of spreading before the world lying telegrams, and warns the world not to believe such news, but only to believe those they, the complainant Government, makes known. Such a proceeding, although not very diplomatic nor worthy of a great nation, would be excusable if true ; but what will the public think of a Government when the events prove that the very news against which the public are warned are fully borne out, and prove to be facts, and those which are recommended for their veracity prove to be false. The above remarks have suggested them selves to us on reading a small brochure just pub lished at Paris under the title cf "The War in Paraguay : Falsehood and Truth," and which ought to have some interest to us, besides the facts it sets forth by an English gentleman in H.M. service being mixed up with it. The little brochure alluded to states "that in several of the Paris journals, but particularly in in the Presse of the 10th of November, the following were published :—" The Brazilian Legation begs of us to publish the following" :—Regularly on the days of departure of each packet certain journals in the Plate publish some false news, or some military feats disfigured in a sense favourable to the Presi dent of Paraguay, and contrary to the Allies. It is calculated that those lies (which there is no time to contradict on the spot) will be believed in Europe, at least during the interval between the arrival of one steamer and the other. In this way, on the same day, and after the last packet had left, a newspaper of Buenos Ayres, partisan of the Mar shal President of Paraguay, has published a letter of a certain Mr. Caminos, Paraguayan agent, cm taining propositions and counter propositions of peace, officiously presorted to the belligerents by Mr. Gould, Secretary of the English Legation. Th e object of this publication is to make Europe believe that Mr. Gould, in ' accordance with the Allied Generals,' had presented to the President of Para guay a proposition of peace, in which the Allies Lad renounced part of the object of the war they made against him, who, without motive, or even without pretext, bad broken peace by an entirely unexpected aggression." As soon as the Brazilian Minister at Buenos Ayres knew of this cariou, publication, he hastened to transmit by telegraph to the Imperial Government at Rio the following de spatch : (By the bye, the Imperial Legation fit Paris must FENIAN MOVEMENT& The "tuneraPl - procession at Dublin was leoked forward to with some anxiety. A revised programme that WAS issued contained the following arrangements : " It is recommended that the male portion of the pro.' cession will wear crape on their left arms, tied with green ribbon as a mourning emblem. The ladies will display the same emblem on their head-dress. The various trade societies are recommended to march in bodies to the place of assembly, and fall into the most convenient places in tho procession. " The committee request that all sympathisers will join in the ranks of the procession, and not remain as spec tators along the line of route. " The committee respectfully request that the licensed vintners of Dublin will allow their shops to remain closed during the day up to six o'clock p.m., to add to the solemnity of the oocasion, and give their young men an opportunity of joining the procession. " The bands of Dublin, which, owing to the pressure oz time, have not been specially invited, are respectfully re quested to give their assistance to this national demonstra. tion. " Peace, order, and regularity are to be the order of the day. " God save Ireland 1 "By order of the Committee, " JOHN MARTIN: Chal&ll.--91 The funeral passed off quietly. The day was very wet. About 16,000 walked in procession, including 3,000 or 4,000 women and children. All wore green rosettes or sashes and crape. Several thousands in the streets dis played the same emblems. Eleven bands played the Dead March in " Saul," " Adeste Fideles," " Sa vourneen Dheelish," and other tunes. When pass ing the spot where Emmett was hanged, in Thomas street, the processionists uncovered heads, and many cheered. On arrival at Glasnevin they were addressed by Mr. John Martin, who denounced the " malignant policy" of England, and said that the three men whose memory they were met to honour were not murderers, but pious and virtuous men, who feared God and loved their country. For that love they were doomed to an ignomi nious death at the hands of the British hangman. The death of those men was legal murder—the act of English polley, the policy of the nation which, through jealousy and hatred cf their nationality, had by fraud and force de stroyed their inder eldence. They had since endured sixty-seven years of insult and robbery, of impoverish ment, extermination, and suffering beyond what any other people had ever endured from a foreign master. A. vast number of Irishmen whom oppression of English rule forbade to live in their own country had in America learned to become soldiers, and seemed resolved to make war on England. She was in a panic in consequence, and hoped to strike terror into Irishmen by legal murder. He continued at some length in this strain. The prisoners Francis and William Foley, James Ryall, and John Deane, who are charged with being concerned in the robbery of arms from the house of Captain Barry, Ballyclough, have been brought up on remand at the Fermoy Courthouse. The informations taken against them had been submitted to the authorities in Dublin at the request of their attorney, and the magistrates an• nounced that the decision arrived at was that the accused should be sent for trial at the Assizes on a charge of `reason-felony. A publican named Maguire, who keeps the Harp Tavern in Newry—his sign being the representation of a harp without a crown—was brought before the magis trates at petty sessions on a charge of having in his pos session an unlicensed pistol, together with a book of instructions for the pike exercise, and receipts for making explosive compounds. The discovery of the illegal articles was made accidentally by the police while searching for arms and seditious documents in connection with the arrest of a lodger in the house on a charge of Fenianism. He was bound in his own rccognisances to appear and take his trial at the quarter sessions. LAW AND POLICE. THE YARMOUTH HOTEL COMPANY.—Vice-Chancellor Wood has had before him an important case, in which Mr. Henderson and others prayed to be removed from the list of contributories of the Yarmouth Hotel Company, on the ground of misrepresentation.in the prospectus. The misrepresentation alleged was the statement in the pro spectus that " the directors and their friends had subscribed a large portion of the capital." The facts were that at the time when the plaintiff made his application no one of the directors had " subscribed " for shares in any sense of the word, and the " friends " of the directors, not treating the term in the sense of personal friends, but merely of business connections, consisted of no more than one firm at Norwich. Sir Edmund Lacon, who was one of the directors, in his bill alleged that he took the shares thinking that an hotel at Yarmouth backed by h:m must succeed. The Vice-Chancellor, in deliver ing judgment, expressed his surprise that gentlemen of position should consent to authorise what in their private affairs they never would have consented to permit, namely, that their names should be used in this way to carry out a speculation of this kind. At the same time misrepresentations had certainly been made, and his Honour therefore made a declaration that the company was bound to repay the plaintiff his £lOO, with an injunction to restrain proceedings on the judg ment, and an injunction to restrain further sales ; also a declaration that the defendants, the directors, were also bound in like manner to repay the plaintiff the £lOO (but without interest) ; also that the plaintiff was entitled to have his name removed from the register of the company, and an order accordingly ; the plaintiff to have his costs of the snit and in the action. BANKRUPTCY APPEAL — IMPORTANT QUESTION CON CERNING COSTS.—In a bankruptcy appeal from the order of the commissioner at Birmingham, in the matter of Hammond, the Lord Justice Rolt has decided that when the assignee with the sanction of the commissioner prose cutes a bankrupt for misdemeanour, the costs of that pro secution must be defrayed out of the Chief Registrar's fund. THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY. —The cases of Waterloo v. Sharp, Gardner v. Sharp, and Draw bridge v. the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, were before Vice-Chancellor Stuart on Saturday. There wero three summonses—two by trustees of the deed of January 1867, to provide for payment of the rent of the rolling stock, and one by the debenture-holders, represented by the suit of Gardner v. Sharp. The facts were briefly these. Prior to January 1867 a receiver ha-I been appointed. 13y a decision of the Lords Justices, after the appointment of a recei v _r, the debenture-holders were only mortgagees of the profits of the line after the necessary expenses of the working of the line were defrayed. Immediately upon this decision being given the company assigned all the rolling stock, steamboats, and stores, to trustees for the benefit of their general creditors. In this state of things an arrangement was made that the com pany should pay a rent of 6 per cent. on the value of the rolling stock, &c., which had been valued by Mr. Forbes at about £426,000. In the summer of this year an Act of Parliament was passed which constituted a joint board of directors, and gave power to the company to purchase the rolling stock. This raised the question as to whether the sum fixed by Mr. Forbes was a fair valuation or not. On the one side it was argued that the amount assessed was too high,but theVice-Chancellor thought that, if anything, it was too low. As to funds, the company was obliged to do what was not strictly right with them. He confirmed the certificate, and he would give some months for pay ment of arrears of rent. GETTING V. THE MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY. —ln this case, which was tried before Mr. Justice Lush in the Court of the Queen's Bench, the plaintiff, a commercial traveller, sought to recover damages for injury received on the defendants' line. The defendants lodged is. as com pensation. Evidence was given of the collision which took place between the mail train, in which the plaintiff was riding, and some trucks. The plaintiff went home ill, and had since been utterly prostrated. The medical evidence was to the effect that he had exaggerated his symptoms, and that he would soon get better. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff ; damages, £1,850. THE FIRE AT HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—Mr. Knox, at the Marlborough-street Police-court, had before him two young men who, when asked by policemen to keep back at the fire at Her Majesty's Theatre, refused, and struck the constable. They were sentenced to a month each. SEDITIOUS CRIES IN PARIS.—A young Swiss named Cassada, aged 18, a seller of chestnuts, was tried on Friday at the Tribunal of Correctional Police, Paris, for crying out in the Rue de Martyrs, " The Republic for ever !" " Long live Garibaldi !" "Down with the Pope !" He was sentenced to a fortnight's imprisonment ; a simi lar punishment was at the same time inflicted on another man named Lemonnier, a labourer, for a like offence in the Rue Descartes. Each of the men pleaded intoxication at the moment, in extenuation of his offence. FATAL ACCIDENT WHILE WINDOW CLEANING.-- The residence of Dr. Oldham, medical practitioner, Fins bury-square, was on Saturday the scene of a fearful and fatal accident. A young man, named James Willmott, a painter and grainer, was engaged in cleaning one of the front windows, when the sash gave way, and he was pre cipitated on to the railings with so much violence as to snap two of the spkies off. Upon being carried into the house, Dr. Oldham directed his immediate removal to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, but the unfortunate young man died 931 the way in great agony. 7HE the depreciations, waste, havoc, and sacrilege com mitted in the religious buildings of the place —at the church of St. Francis in particular, little escaping beyond the bare walls. All we have to do here is to state the naked truth with regard to the character shown by our people respecting the so-called public voting or plebiscite. Finding themselves under the pressure and alarming influ ence of this turbulent disorder, and called upon by public notices to flock to the urn for a most important demonstration, it would have been no great cause of surprise if some of the citizens had presented themselves out of sheer fear. But there was not even so much as this. And we are pre- Fared to guarantee, upon our honour, and by the proof of the notorious public fact, that no one, literally no one, appeared in answer to the appeal in the room when the solemn experiment was to l e tried. . . . If it has been represented that there were even the very smallest, possible number of voters, we, in the name of the whole town, pro test aloud, and are prepared to repeat it in the teeth of all corners, whoever they may be, that it is the most outrageous and shameful falsehood that was ever invented." Montefiascone writes :—" On the late occ&ion when this town was subjected to the tyrannical domination imported by the Garibaldians, a certain public act, they called a plebiscite, was put forth which pretended to represent the votes of this people. The pressure and terror which prevailed at the time would have sufficed to have neutralized its importance. But, notwithstanding this, the undersigned, charged with the public representa tion of the municipality, think it due to truth and justice to protest against the said demonstra tion, which, so far from expressing public opinion, was, on the contrary, viewed with general indig nation. The voting-papers, which were thrown into the urn in numbers far larger than that of the supposed voters could have been made out to be (?), were thrown in by the very Garibaldian rabble (tonne) which was oppressing the town. The citizens of every class abstained most coura geously from all participation in it." A second letter from Bagnorea says :—" . . . . That in the interests of truth, and to the honour of the magistracy as well as that of the population, the undersigned think it right to protest against any act which the subversive party may boast of or produce as having taken place in this city under the specious title of a plebiscite, as we declare solemnly it was never accomplished, for not one out of the whole population would take part in it." The protest of Bolsena discloses the same ter giversation, declares how the whole population held back from the affair, and how four or five of the lowest of the people were dragged up to the voting place by force, and concludes by protesting, in the name of the people, against the whole thing, and declaring " that they will always remain under the regimen of the Pontifical Government, and ' ever preserve their faithful attachment and devo tion to the Holy See." The French fleet arrived at Civita Vecchia from Toulon on Wednesday, and the embarkation of one division was at once proceeded with. There will remain, however, for the present, at least, not less than four battalions in Rome, and a brigado at Civita Vecchia. Or, according to some reports, one whole division will remain in Civita Vecchia, and none in Rome. A very remarkable fact, showing the utter vena lity of the Italian revolutionary press, has just been mentioned to me. A person from Florence came here a few days ago, commissioued by several of the well-known " Liberal " papers to treat with the Roman Government, their undertaking being in consideration of a certain subsidy to prepare public opinion for the return of Italy to the terms of the treaty of Zurich, that is to say, to the Italian Confederation. As might have been expected, the only answer he received was that it was not the custom of the Roman Government to seek to influence public opinion in this way, I must plead guilty to having let the fascination of political events entirely absorb my attention of late, making me overlook peaceful events. As a first instalment of returning attention to these things, let me mention the festa at St. Clemente last Saturday (St. Clement's day). The most extra ordinary and interesting excavations under this church are well known to all visitors to Rome, and have been often described on the festa. It is custo- mary to light up the subterranean works, and throw them open to the concourse of faithful, who never fail to attend on the occasion and listen to the explanation of the ancient mural paintings which adorn it. On this occasion, if it was not so full as in former years, the numbers of foreigners pre sent showed that little by little all the world is pouring into Rome as usual. St. Clemente offered an additional attraction to pilgrims this year in the consecration, by Cardinal Guidi, Archbishop of Bologna, of a new altar in the subterranean church, thus restoring to Divine worship a temple which dates from the very time of the Apostles. The new altar is of handsome marbles, bold in de sign, and somewhat similar to that in the Basilica itself. Over it is a simple baldachino, supported by four columns of cipolino. In front has been laid a tablet commemorating the Dominicans of former ages, whose bones have been disturbed in digging out the old church. _ _ Prince Cesarini was married on Monday to a Princess Colonna. The wedding took place at Naples. THE VERACITY OF BRAZIL. to be the present head-quarters of the movement Another remarkable sign of awakening hopes in the Garibaldian mind is the affectation of triumph and mystery assumed by the members of the sect here, who, for some days after Mentana, were quite cast down. They say the days of the Menabrea Ministryare numbered, and that the next will give carte blanche to the advanced party. I am much inclined to think that nothing very serious will be attempted during the winter months, and that these gatherings are simply part of the Mazzinian policy of keeping up agitation, and disturbing the order and quiet that prevails. But, at the same time, this effervescence requires to be kept in check, and it is quite evident the attitude of the Revolutionists is sufficiently threatening to render it unwise, to say the least, for the French troops to leave. General de Failly certainly told the Holy Father he had nothing to fear, for though the whole French army had left, it would undoubtedly return if need were. The Pope himself seems to expect a second invasion as much as any one ; at least, several allusions to it are reported from his lips. He said on Wednesday to the young Comte Maillo, on his expressing regret at having arrived too late to take part in the battle of Mentana, "Never mind, my child, don't distress yourself, there will be more fighting before Long." General Kanzler, in presence of the preparations of the French troops for departure, has obtained the authorization to increase the effective force of the army by several thousand men. The regiment of Zouaves, which, I told you last week, had been made to consist of three battalions, is to be raised to - our. Every day we have fresh arrivals of volunteers, who are sent to the depot, where they are practised four hours a day in the use of their weapons; 250 arrived yesterday. Sonie, also, but in small numbers, continue to volunteer into the Roman Legion, where not only French soldiers, but any Frenchmen possessing the neces- sary qualifications are now received. Others apply to be enrolled in the battalion of Rifles, a regiment composed of Swiss and a large pro- portion of Italians. The army, which now consists of 13,000 men, will probably be raised to 15,000 or 16,000. This number is more than sufficient to hold in awe all the genuine Garibaldians who can be got together; but who shall provide against the Italian soldiers, travestied as such, whose name is legion ? The determination which late events have stirred in the Catholics of France to defend the temporal power is so strong, and so uncom promising, that in the face of it the Emperor will hardly be, Led by anything but the mobt over- not be aware that there exists as yet no tele' graph communication between the River Plate and Rio ; perhaps this is also one of their true telegraphic despatches, or else a ship by that Dar" is meant.) " Buenos Ayres, 29th September, 1867.—The Brazilian Minister at Buenos Ayres to the Minister of Foreign Affairs at Rio de Janeiro :—lt was en l Y after the departure of the packet that we saw th e letter of the Paraguayan Caminos to Mr. Gould. We are occupied in making very clear the falsity of the assertion of a previous understanding of 'Air' Gould with the agents of Brazil." "This telegraphic despatch was published in the Dario gificidl do Pig Janeiro, the oth of October , and rept od need in the other journals. Now if snY one wishes to deceive, he ought to state at leas things 's hick had the appearance of truth. It i$ not very likely that when, by the taking of the town of Pillar, which intercepts the fluvial comae' nication which lias remained between Asuncion and liumaita, and the very moment that the Hass of the siege had been closed, and that in all Pr`'' bability that fortress is expected to fall by famin e ' that the Allies should give up pretensions 'Kb° they did not, when the war was much farther from the end." "If any one wishes to deceive one ought to state, at least, things which have the appearance of truth," says the Brazilian Legation at Paris. This sentence we must return fully to its author. T hat part of America which the Brazilian Legation calls " the Plate," are the Argentine Confederation an d Uruguay, which means the two allies Brazil 10 against Paraguay ; consequently the journals "Iv ° , regularly publish on the day of the departure eL each packet false news, in a sense favourable to Paraguay," are journals, if not authorised, at least permitted, to be published at Buenos Ayres an d Montevideo, and it is not very likely that they are permitted to speak against their own country, pa r " titularly in time of war, as it would be rathe r dangerous for them to publish false news in favo ur of the common enemy. But this, it appears, some journals are guilty of, according to the Brazilian Legation ! In the River Plate States, the Goveru snents are no more tolerant in that respect than is many other countries, and even are less so ; they have very often supp resse d j ourna l s, and prosec uted , their editors, for o c ly h av i ng cr i t i c i sed the po li c y of their own respective Governments. The America+ of Buenos Ayres, and the Reforma, of Mon te ' video, besides several others, are ample proof of this. Besides the strong hand of the Government, th e editors of Buenos Ayres and Montevideo are also exposed to the fury of the mob, easily excited by the political opponents of the journal and its editors. The office of the Refosata, for instanc e ' was plundered and sacked by a political mob; there' fore it would be rather dangerous for the new s : papers in those cities to publish news in favour o '. Paraguay, and still more so if that news proved to be false. The agents of Brazil are very anxious to wak e the world believe that Mr. Gould, her British M a ; jesty's Secretary of Legation at Buenos Ayres, bad gone to Paraguay to negotiate a peace without anl previous knowledge of the Allies. ThiS is not very likely. Mr. Gould, residing at Buenos Ayres, in daily intercourse, through his position, with t he Argentine Government and the Brazilian Ministers, was not likely to go to Paraguay without baying communicated his intentions to them, and must have been fully awa re o f th e st i pulations they would abide by for maki ng peace. Mr. Gould coul d not have acted differently. Mr. Gould must have been sure of the determination to abide by the stipulatio ns on the part of those with whom he resided befo re he left Buenos Ayres, as well as of the Allied geu,e rals commanding, with whom he had several cone' rences at headquarters. The letter of " a cer tain Mr. Caminos," extensively published Europe and America, showed clearly th e the peace proposals emanated from the Al liee „ through Mr. Gould, and the "Paraguaya n Caminos was shrewd enough to exact from 'P . Gould the promise to declare that such was t he case —" Where the voice of Paraguay cou ld not be heard." With all these proofs the Brazilian Lena" tion at Buenos Ay res , according to their so-call ed telegraphic despat c h, w hi c h t oo k seven days to r each Rio, is busily engaged in making very clear the " false assertion that Mr. Gould hai a previous un derstanding with the agents of Brazil." The rest of the communique to the Presse is of th e same true nature. The town of Pillar as yet has i not been taken, n or d oes Pill ar comman d the fins'''. communication between Asuncion and Humaita; nor has Huntaita been invested—quite the non trary !—nor has it fallen through famine.
