SUIT t 9 ES kg . S J LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 16, 1867. The Emperor NAPOLEON'S brief holiday is over, and no doubt he has had but small enjoyment of it with one thing and another. At any rate it is a relief that he should have returned, because the present state of uncertainty is bad for every one concerned, and cannot fail to exercise a bane ful influence upon the trade of France. According to the latest accounts it would seem that war is by no means so imminent as had been imagined by some, but really these reports are so strangely at variance one with the other that it is not likely any experienced person will attach much importance to them. The thing will be to find out the EMPEROR'S meaning, and that is by no means an easy task, but it must be possible to come to some conclusion or other when we hear his account of the state of things. A meeting of the Privy Council is expected to take place to- day, at which the EMPEROR will, in all probability, give his opinion upon some of the most noticeable points now under discussion in the political world, fore most among which will be France and Prussia. The decision which he may come to about the latter will be of the greatest interest just now to his own people, and also to those of Prussia. It is quite possible that the EMPEROR may say much less than he means, but still it must occasion at least a temporary lull in public excitement. Con siderable importance has been given to the meeting at Salzburg, a great deal more than it deserved, and because the affair passed over with little or no stir it was immediately thought that all danger had blown over. This is exaggeration on one side, and jumping at conclusions on the other. Because the two Emperors did not succeed in forming an alliance offensive and defensive against Prussia, which no doubt they well wished to do, it by no means follows that the French Government will consent to put up with all the impertinence of the Berlin authorities, or to allow the gradual but sure encroachment of Prussia. The state of things that prevails at present in France is by no means a satisfactory one, and we shall be glad to hear that some thing definite has been arranged, at all events for a time ; but we should put no faith in a lasting peace between France and Prussia, while the policy of Berlin is so oppressive and arbi trary. As for the idea that France is no match for Prussia, that is an opinion which no one will endorse who knows anything of the respective characters of the two countries. It would be a sad day for many when war was declared between these two great Powers, and in the interests of civilisation we should deeply regret it, but we see no alternative if, within a comparatively short space of time, the policy of Count BISMARCK does not change very greatly for the better. His Circular Note was a direct defiance to France, and as such it was accepted by the French press at once. One thing is very certain, that it will not do for the Emperor NAPO LEON to accept the poSition forced upon him by Prussia, and let the world believe that come what may his forces cannot cope with the forces of King WILLIAM. We all heard enough, and a great deal too much, about the impregnability of the 40 mil lions of Germans at the time of the Dani3ll War, and 110 W it would seem as if the same game was to be tried with France. It is one thing for _NAPO LEON and FRANCIS JOSEPH to build up fortifica tions, and the complete restoration of Austrian and the virtual shipwreck of Prussian suprema3y, and another thing for the French EMPEROR to bold his own and take care that his power is not affected, and that his people are not insulted by an over bearing and deceitful ally. No one need envy crowned heads just now on the Continent, for theirs is an anxious and often a painful task. Why, with the responsibilities on one hand and on the other, it is almost impossible to say where prudence ends and where temerity begins. One evil ambition pursued to the uttermost brings peril to many, and can count its wrecks far and wide. Had Prussia and Austria not pursued the fatal war against Denmark, and had Prussia not undermined the prosperity of Austria and compromised the existence of the German States, France would now be spared the uncertainties and annoyances which the prospect of war always brings about with it. The importance of the matter does not rest only upon the offence given to the French by the Prussians, but because, through one thing and another, France seems to be regarded as the representative of Europe in the face of an almost unparalleled aggression on the part of a military Power. The part which England should have taken at the outset of affairs was unhappily not taken, and hence the opportunity was lost, not to be recalled. It has been, no doubt, very difficult for the French EMPEROR to carry on his communications with Prussia of late, and a few mistakes he has unwittingly made may readily be excused to him. We mistake the whole course and character of his policy, however, if we believe that he can consent to fold his arms, and give up the game as an idle and useless attempt in the face of the direct insults and great encroach ments of Prussia. He may for reasons best known to himself consent for a time to a readjustment of things, but it will be only for a time, unless a very different tone is adopted by Prussia. As nothing has occurred to make us think that the councils of Berlin are changed for the better, we must conclude that whatever calm takes place it is only a momen tary one ; and while we hope it may tend to the prosperity of those most concerned, it cannot in the nature of things produce very striking and lasting changes. It seems useless to expect that the views of Prussia will moderate, and therefore if the French Government virtually acquiesce in the policy of Berlin the next thing will be that some new demands will be made and some fresh claims put forward. It is a source of deep regret that so much anxiety should bo occasioned and so much loss incurred through the uncalled-for extension of a Power that so little required it, for there was enough in all conscience for Prussia to do at home without seeking to intrude upon others, and to compromise the welfare of other nations by persisting in a policy that set reason at defiance, and ignored the idea of justice. The contrast between the difficulties of a new country and au old one is forcibly exhibited by a comparison of the home and Australian news. The prices of food among ourselves have long given ground for complaint and lamentation among all classes. The poor, to whom meat for the last few years has been almost a forbidden luxury, are alarmed at the prospect of a further increase in the price of bread. The richer classes have felt in a lesser degree the pressure of the times, and the inevitable expenses of a large and well -to- do household have been wellnigh doubled. In contrast to this we read that in Australia a fat sheep is worth airteen THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVE"NING, OCFOBEt 16, 1867 shillings, and the colonial difficulty is how to dis pose of their superfluous stock. The " half the world's extension " which, according to the poet, intervenes between England and her southern colonies, in spite of the aid of steam, unfortunately prevents the adjustment of the balance. Wo are afraid that for the present at least Australian squatters must continue to lament that they cannot sell their beasts at anything like remunerative prices, even for " melting down," which seems to English ears most woeful waste of wholesome mutton, and on the other hand we in England must still deplore the ever rising butchers' bills. Another striking difference exists in the supply of labour. Here there is certainly no lack of hands, though there may be in some quarters lack of the will to use them. In too many trades men are on half time, and find it difficult to get employment of any kind. In Australia there is the want not of employers or employment, but of employed. The Cornish miners are in great distress for want of work, while in some parts of the colonies miners' wages are 10s. a week, and there is a cry for more hands. This inequality at least may be recti fied by the friends of emigration if the Cornishmen are willing to try their luck across the sea, where their stout hearts and strong hands will be cer tain to bring them success. On the other hand, Australia is suffering from the political difficulties natural to inexperienced politicians, for though the colonies have managed their own affairs for a good many years, their knowledge of statesmanship has been compara tively untried, and they miss those sobering in fluences which are brought to bear upon the councils of older nations. Notwithstanding its undoubted and increasing wealth the colony of Victoria is just now in a state of temporary bankruptcy, owing to the want of a little mutual forbearance between rival parties. In England, whatever the political excitement of the time, all parties agree to suspend their differences in the face of a public necessity. The suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland, or any other ques tion of the kind, was certain to obtain the sanction of the Opposition so soon as the Minister of the Crown declared it to be necessary for the public safety. In the same way criticism or inquiry into diplomatic questions is always immediately sus pended if the Minister states that discus sion or explanation will be unfavourable to the public interests. It must be an extraordinary crisis that would make our English Opposition re fuse to vote the estimates or to pass the budget, however bitterly they might attack the Minister before or after. It is this feeling which is wanting in the Victorian Parliament, but which we may hope time will bring about. A serious difference has arisen between the two Houses, and both sides have consulted their own irritated feelings and wounded dignity rather than the public in terests, and accordingly the Treasury is pen niless, the public 'works at a stand-still, and breaches of contract as a natural consequence are occurring by hundreds. Such are the pleasant results of a political crisis under the Southern skies, and we may be thankful that an older, steadier, and more complex society is not often favoured with them. The origin of the present trouble was the dispute between the two Houses the year before last, when Sir CIIARLES DARLING, then Governor of Victoria, sided, it will be remembered, with the popular party in the Legislative Assembly. For this departure from the impartiality thought de sirable in a representative of the QUEEN, and for the breach of constitutional law which he thus sanctioned, Sir CHARLES was recalled, greatly to the dissatisfaction of a large party in Melbourne. By way of expressing their feelings towards him, and towatds their opponents, the Assembly voted a sum of £20,000 to Lady DAR LING as compensation for her husband's recent removal from office. This sum having been put on the Estimates of course went up in the Appropria tion Bill to the Upper House. it would have most probably been passed by them without open opposition, though it was well known they disliked it, but for extreme imprudence and want of tact on the part of the Attorney-General. This gentleman, in his speech in the Assembly, indulged in the most lavish abuse of all opponents of the grant. They were described as " the vilest faction" which the colony had ever known, and the grant was de clared to be a " vote of censure" on their conduct. Under these circumstances, with the unwelcome clause so rudely forced on them, the members of Council allowed their natural irritation to get the better of their judgment, and the Appropriation Bill was thrown out by 23 to 6—the full number of the Upper House being 30. Upon this a Minis terial crisis arose. The Governor consulted his Minis ters, the Ministers resigned, the Opposition could not form a Government; the Governor was forced to recall the old Ministry, and the colony finds itself with a Government indeed, but with an empty Treasury. .The civil servants are unpaid, the con tracts are broken, many of the contractors are obtaining judgments; and, while the usurers are profiting largely, the public at large are inconve nienced and scandalised. Australia can better afford to play such tricks than countries nearer home; at the same time they must not be often repeated, lest constitutional government become altogether a jest. The conduct of the Council has been severely censured, and it was no doubt unrea sonable and unconstitutional ; at the same time, the conduct of the Attorney-General was equally blame able. The fault and the mistake of the Councillors was that they resented a personal insult on the part of one man at the expense of the whole population, thus putting, as colonial legislators are too apt to do, personal and local feeling above public neces sities. In this respect Australia might learn with advantage from the old country, and infuse a little more courtesy and moderation into her debates in both Houses. The present crisis must very soon settle itself, and will very probably have a salutary effect on all parties. The Melbourne politicians have to learn that politics are like edge tools, and must not be played with, lest unpleasant and undignified consequences ensue, which it is not very easy to rectify. • REFORM CELEBRATION AT LEEDS.—Last night the members of the Ikform League dined together at the Queen's Hotel, to celebrate the passing of the Reform Bill. Mr. A. Illingworth, of Bradford, presided. Mr. E. A. Leathara, M.P., sketched in hcmorous terms the mode by which the bill had been passed. Mr. Disraeli was not the first Hebrew legislator who had led his people into a wil derness, and, what was more, he resembled Moses in an other respect, for he would never live to lead them out of it. (Applause.) What had been accomplished was not the end, but the earnest of future achievements. (Near.) Mr. Baines, M.P., in acknowledging the toast of the Houses of Parliament, gave a resume of the action taken by the Liberal party to procure a reform in the representation of the country. The bill recently passed was not Disraeli's. He allowed it to be shaped by those around him, his own business being to stick to his post. (Hear.) The remain ing toasts were of a formal character. THE Loss OF THE MOGO. —Yesterday an official inquiry into the circumstances attending the loss of the Hiogo was opened at the Greenwich Police-court before Mr. Trail!, and Captains Harris and Baker as nautical as sessors. Mr. O'Dowd conducted the inquiry on behalf of the Board of Trade, and Mr. Cottingham, barrister, repre sented the owner and the master of the steamer. The only witness examined yesterday was the fit st mato, who de tailed at considerable length what had transpired from the time the Hiogo left Sunderland to the time she uck upon the Eddystone. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Tuesday Eveuing. As a matter of truth the description of the state of Rome is that the most perfect calm 'and tran quillity continue to prevail there. In the provinces the condition is similar. But, nevertheless, the foolish agitators continue their game of deceit and fabrication. The population evince their attach ment to the Pope and the cause of order, but the disaffected display an impotent desire to make it believed that tranquillity is in danger. The machi nations begin to be transparent. The insurgent partisans, being compelled to admit that order reigns in Italy, try to console themselves with the idea that there will be soon a decisive blow. The Italian Government, however, is well prepared for it, and every day increases its precautions for the maintenance of the Convention of September, 18G6. It is not to be denied that a few insurgent bands exist in the mountains, and Menotti Gari baldi is at the head of a baud, but they are afraid to make any real demonstration. Some say it is nearly 2,000 strong, but at all events its demeanour is pacific. The Italian papers are incumbered with reports of a more or less foolish character. One of them is that Garibaldi has escaped from Caprera on board an American vessel. Yesterday there was a different report about him, and to-morrow there will no doubt be another. These agitators appear to be unconscious that the word " escape" is an odd term to apply to one whom they hail as a liberator. Another proclamation of Garibaldi is talked of, in which he tells the agitators to march, and that Italy will to-morrow receive the congratulations of the whole world, which contemplates their heroism. When the remains of M. Fould had been lowered into the family vault yesterday M. Baroche, Mini ster of Justice and Public Worship, pronounced an eloquent eulogium upon the deceased statesman, and traced the salient points of his career. M. Baroche said that M. Fould, born at the commencement of the present century, belonged to a family then con nected with a great financial movement. When elected in 1842 to the Chamber of Deputies by the depart ment of the Hautes Pyrenees he immediately in spired the confidence of the Chamber in his great financial knowledge. The first events of 1848 proved his invincible devotion to his country. Under a new form of government he placed the interests of France above all other interests. In September, 1848, he entered the Constituent Assembly as a representative of Paris, and soon acquired reputa tion among the most enlightened advocates of true financial principles, It was in October, 1849, that he first became Finance Minister, and his appoint ment to that office inspired the public confidence. In the month of July, 1852, the Emperor appointed M. Fould Minister of State and the Fine Arts, which opened to him a new career, in which Le achieved brilliant success. Ills administration of the finances of the State was marked by economy, good order, and intelligence. As to the Fine Arts, he had loved them from his youth, and he had the good fortune to connect his name with the national work of the completion of the Louvre. In 18b7 the Academy of Fine Arts elected him a free member. It was as a Finance Minister that M. Fould achieved his greatest triumphs. His Memoir to the Emperor, presented in September, 1861, was a remarkable illustration of the real prin ciples of finance, and of the bases upon which budgets should repose. In that memoir M. Fould propagated the sound and radical proposition that the Chief of the state should renounce the faculty granted under ancient charters, as well as by the Constitution of 1852, of opening supplementary and extraordinary credits independently of the Cham bers. That proposal was agreed to by the Emperor, who, iu a letter as honourable to the Sovereign who wrote it as to the Minister who received it, said he had been for a long time considering the best means of placing the public credit upon a sound basis M. Baroche, then ob..xrved that for five laborious years M. Fould had devoted his courage, his intel ligence, and his patriotism, to his desire to improve the finances of the country in spite of articles and adverse criticism, and when he had completed his task he retired widtput a murmur. After a day passed in the midst of his family M. Foalci felt a little fatigued, went to be 1, and said he wanted to sleep. It was the eternal sleep. It was death ! and in two hours lie was cold. " Let us," added M. Baroche, " bow to the Divine will, and respect its decrees, even when they strike us in our dearest affections." In conclusion, M. Baroche referred in pointed terms to the cruel losses sustained by the Emperor within a few years by the death of Billault, Moray, and Thouvenel. 111. Baroche con cluded thus—" Good man, skilful politician, eminent Minister, passionately loving France and the Em peror, repose in peace ! Thy life has been well ac complished, and thy name belongs from hencefor ward to the history of the second Empire." This oration excited much sympathy and admiration. N. Lefuel, on the part of the Academy of Fine Arts, spo'se eloquently of the assistance and patron age which had been afforded to them by M. Fould. The Emperor of Russia has returned to St. Petersburg, from Levadca in the Crimea, and is now at the summer residence at Tzarskoe-Selo. No less than 66,000 persons paid for admission to the Exhibition on Sunday. It was very full yester day, and has again been a scene of animation to day. Summer continues in the ascendant again. The weather has been bright, warm, and beautiful to-day, but with a slight tendency to rain towards post hour. The Journal des Debats officially confirms the information I was enabled to give several days ago of the promulgation of a circular from Cardinal Antonelli to the For ei g n PoWers; recapitulating the o circumstancesr theirof " the situati on " i n I ta l y , an d appealing influence and su pp or t o f the for just rights of the H ol y F ather. There is no a ccounting for tastes, b u t neverthe of Lyons has just di e d from leis a young girl in dulgence in what does seem. rather a strange pro pensity. Her parents some years ago placed her in Sisters, with the id ea th a t s h e them, but she had su c h , s t range sfathinoccuoilmedsinftouhrnamittysolnioeefowfas not allowed to continue her noviciate as a nun. She was therefore placed in a silk warehouse as shopsvonsan. There, however, her eccentricities multiplied. • She took a fancy for places where she could find_ rats, toads, and other cratures,.considered in general as rather unsavoury, and . Would devour toads alive: In the room where she slept there was found a collection of the remains of rats and toads, portions of which she had eaten raw, and the surgeons attribute her death to the noxious influence exercised by the flesh of similar animals upon the human stomach. DRURY-LANE THEA7RE. ..--------.^ ~..- - On Monday night Shakspere's tragedy of "Macbeth" was performed, the novelty being Mrs. Vezin appearing in the character of Lady Macbeth. This accomplished actress has now attained such a deserved popularity and reputation that the an nouncemeut drew together a very large and critical audience. The character of Lady Macbeth is a part demanding such e xtraordinary qualifications that but very few actres.ies at present on the stage possess them, an I it is no disparagement to Mrs. Vezin to say—great actress as she is--she is not adequate to the demands of the part. As far as art was concerned Mrs. Vezin's performance was per fect in every respect. Her reading was exceedingly t h h e e au o t l i t f i n c l o a n n v d en j t u io d i i i c a i l , ou : p.oiSahtse,, and depended en e,ntirely discarded all tirely for success on her own conception of the part. The reading of the letter in. the first act was fine, and exceedingly natural, and in the sleep-walking scene Mrs. Vezin showed the full extent of her un rivalled abilities; but in the other portions of the tragedy her passion was deficient in power, a cir cumstance altogether beyond her control. Of Mr. Phelps's Macbeth it is quite unnecessary to speak, further than to say it was as full of energy, re morse, and desperation as ever, and that it elicited the most enthusiastic applause. Mr. Cooper made a very excellent Macduff, and Mr. Ryder an efficient Banquo. - The whole of Locke's music was given in excellent style; and the entire get-up of the tragedy was in the highest degree creditable to the management of the theatre. LAILST INTELLIdENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) lb. ACCIDENT TO THE GERMANIA. FALMOUTH, Wednesday Morning. The Hamburg and New York steamer Germania (Schween, Master), from Southampton, for New York, is off this port, with loss of propeller.

The National Steamship Company's steamship Denmark, from New York, arrived at 9 a.m. to day. She landed passengers and proceeded for Liverpool. All well. TILE ROMAN QUESTION. PARIS, Oct. 16. The Moniteur of this morning, referring to the insurrectionary movement in the Papal States, says :—" Authentic and concurrent intelligence from Rome and Florence enables us to give the most circumstantial account of the affair of the 13th October, which is the last encounter that has taken place fur some days. Ninety Papal soldiers, with rash impulse, charged a body of 300 Gari baldians, cut their way through them, and reoc cupied Monte Libretti. The invaders, however, having considerable reinforcements from the neigh bouring frontier, probably badly guarded, they resumed the offensive to the number of 800. Before so superior a force the Pontifical detachment effected a retreat in good order. During the whole day they had 10 wounded, whom they were able to remove, together with 15 Gari baldian prisoners. The lcsses of the enemy appear to have been considerable, and it was affirmed at Florence that Menotti Garibaldi was seriously wounded. What is certain, however, is that the invaders found it prudent to anew evacuate Monte Libretti, and even Tolvaterra, and the Romans have retaken possession of both those localities." FLORENCE, Oct. 16. The entire Italian press is unanimous in calling for the occupation of the Papal territory. The Opinione again urges the Government to take measures to prevent any intervention. The Persc veranza insists upon the immediate occupation of the Pon ideal States by the Italian troops, declaring that every delay is dangerous to the monarchy and to the institutions of the e.:mntry. The provincial journals concur in censuring the language of the French journals La France and La Pa trie. Advices from Rome announce that the insurgent bands are considerably increasing in number, espe cially south of the capital. Yesterday several unimportant encounters took place near Correse and Torre Alfina. It was expected that Viterbo would be to-morrow declared in a state of siege in consequence of the attitude of the population. The Rifornia states that to-day an extraordinary Consistory is to be held at Rome, and that the Pope has convoked the Cardinals to deliberate upon present events. NORTH GERMANY. BERLIN, Oct. 16. In the Federal Council yesterday Count Bismarck announced that the treaty of commerce and navi gation with Italy had been signed at Florence. The Federal Council then adopted the Budget as voted by the Parliament, the Postage Bill, and the Bill proposing a loan of 10,000,000 for the Fede ral marine and fur coast defences. A communication from the President of the Parliament and a Bill relating to the rate of interest on moneys lent were referred to a committee, together with a proposal of Count Bismarck respecting a reform in the mortgage laws. Herr Dellbruck proposed that the Federal President should be authorised to conclude a treaty of friendship, commerce, and navigation with the Republic of Liberia. BADEN. CARLSRUHE, Oct. 15. At the sitting of the Baden Chambers yesterday, Baron von Freydorf, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, replied to a question respecting Prince Hohenlohe's statement in the Bavarian Diet. Ilis Excellency said that the negotiations for union with the North German Confederation had only reached the preliminary stage. The Grand Duke of Baden had not hitherto expressed himself as to his relations with Austria. Prince llohenlohe's views as to more intimate union with the North were based upon any interpretation of the Treaty of Prague, contrary to that of Baden. The Govern ment believed that the time was approaching when the Southern States might join the new Germany in process of creation with equal rights. It would endeavour to place the country in a position to de mand national union, and would be glad if it could be effected in concert with the adjacent States. The Government would be quite willing to agree with the other Southern States upon all preparatory steps. CALCUTTA AND CIIINA . MAILS. SuEz, Tuesday, Oct. 15.

BLAcKwooD.-- 7 We meet with the first part of " Linda Tressel," which promises to be an interest ing narrative, and being the chronicle of a maiden of NureMberg, it presents some originality to the reader, besides pleasing descriptions of that attrac tive place. "Inroads upon English" is a very sensible article, that may give useful hints to all concerned in composition. " Monetary Reform" considers the question in that enlightened and comprehensive manner for which this periodical has long been celebrated. " Brownlows" is very excit ing in this instalment, and many curious things come to pass. " Work and Murder" is a paper that may be studied with advantage, for the difficult subject of trades' unions is most effectively dealt with, and the chief points connected with the ques tion are clearly put before us. As it is said here, it is right for men to combine to resist oppression, but it " is not right that, in resisting oppression that may be imaginary, they should commit oppression that is only too real." " A City of the Plague" is an impressive little sketch, which records the sad fate that overtook the little Alban capital this summer. "At the Alps Again" is an article on a subject that never fails to attract the English reader, and to suggest visions of the sublime and beautiful as well as reminiscences of pleasure. DUBLIN.—" Sweet Annie Page" is continued at some length, and is a very smartly sketched tale. " Balgar, his Life and Career," is an interesting sketch ; the curious will be glad to hear that in twenty years he wrote ninety-seven volumes. " A Night in a First-class Railway Carriage" is an amusing account of the miseries inflicted by jealousy. " The Tenants of Malory" is concluded in a satis factory manner. " War Party in the South," " Celtic Manuscripts and their Contents," contain pleasing sketches, and some other articles of interest make up the contents of the number,which presents many attractions. LE FOLLET, as usual, presents us with some brilliant sketches of fashion, but the prevailing mode at present is not nearly so generally becoming as that in vogue a few years ago. " The Wedding- Cake, and How did it Happen," is a very amusing sketch for fair readers to employ their ingenuity upon. Records of fashionable interest, and accounts of various places of amusement continue to render this journal a grand monde or repertoire for those who are mixed up in the whirl of fashionable circles, and seek their information respecting it. MACMILLAN'S MAGAZINE.—The termination of Mrs. Norton's " Old Sir Douglas" awaits the reader in this number. Its conclusion is more peaceful than it threatened to be, and the whole catalogue of Alice Ross's black schemes and contrivings comes to light in a way rare in real life. If poetical jus tice were baniAed from the pages of novelists, it would be a loss rather than a gain to reader and writer alike. London schools and colleges are very ably discussed by the editor—no mean judge. " Eating and Drinking in America" is a lively, though not very captivating, account of tra,nsAt lantic saloons. " Surveying in Eldorado," and other topics, are treated of in their different styles. THE ARGOSY.-711e Argosy continues its voyage pleasantly and profitably enough, and the number before us gives a favourable specimen of the cargoes it usually carries. The accomplished authoress of " Citoyenne Jacqueline" and the writer of "Dr. Austin's Guests" are among the contributors, and the anonymous authors bear favourable comparison. " Against the Wind" is an amusing attack upon a common enemy or friend, as the case may be; while the record of the achievements of " An Irish Dentist" is enough to excite the envy of the whole tooth-pulling fraternity. CHAMBERS'S JOURNAL.—This old - established favourite has considerably improved since its new series. The monthly part contains the whole of "My Second Year's Holiday," as well as the greater part of a 11CIV story, " Married Well," and an abundance of lesser papers, sketches, and poems for all readers. GOOD WORDS.—" Good words" are "good," as usual, in all the senses of the word, and has many excellent papers. "Fisher Life," "La Belle France," by the author of " John Halifax," " A Bengali Will," and other papers are full of interest. We must not omit to notice a charming little domestic portrait, " Trotty,"/ by Mrs. Hunter. TILE SUNDAY MAGAZINE.—The commencement of a new tale by the author of " Annals of a Quiet Neighbourhood," the first of a series of " Old Testa ment Characters ;" the opening chapter of "The Occupations of a Retired Life," and many other attractive papers. TIIE PEOPLE'S MAGAZINE.—The coloured fron tispiece, "Slumber," is alone worth the price of the whole magazine, but the reader will find in addition to it an abundance of entertainment. THE MONTH.—" A Stormy Life" has reached the crisis of its storms, and the terrible disasters of Tewkesbury are vividly chronicled by Lady Fuller ton's gifted pen. " Scenes from a Missionary Journey," "The Poet of N lyres," and other articles are to be found in the number. THE FLORAL WORLD.—A guide and companicn for the amateur botanist, likely to be serviceable to those who follow gardening as a science. THE INTELLECTUAL OBSERVER.—TIIO October number has a full table of contents more learned than usual. There is nowadays, however, no lack of learned readers to profit by its pages. BELGRAVIA.—" Birds of Prey" is brought to a conclusion, but not very satisfactorily, for there are still many dangers in the way of Charlotte. " Dead Sea Fruit" is continued in some interesting chap ters. " London Parks" presents us with Hyde-park and St. James'. " Diana Grey " is a new tale of promise by a favourite author. " The Paris Fa shions" is an amusing sketch. " October on the Mountains" is a pleasing illustration. " Love's Flower Garden" is the title of some well-written verses. THE HANDSPIKE. Hotten.—An occasional ma gazine, belonging to the popular profession of Volunteers, disarms criticism ; and we need only say that it is lively and sarcastic, full of shrewd and satirical sketches of men and things, and adorned with some clever and animated illustrations. THE ENGLISHWOMAN'S MAGAZINE is as attractive as usual. The numerous pretty and ornamental patterns it contains renders it one of the most use ful publications issued to the public. _ _ "The Life and Poems of Robert Burns," now being published by Mr. Wilson, of Glasgow, in monthly parts, will, on completion, form a very handsome quarto volume. The work is edited by the Rev. H. Waddell. THE BRADFORD ELECTION. The nomination of a burgess to serve in Parlia ment in the place of the late Mr. Wickham took place at Bradford on Monday. There were two can didates—viz., Mr. Matthew Wm. Thompson, of Park-gate, Guisely, near Leeds, and Mr. Edward Miall, of London. Both are Liberals, but they differ widely on ecclesiastical questions.. Mr. Thompson had the show of hands at the hustings, and the friends of M. Miall had to demand a poll. Mr. Thompson is absent at Dresden, where he is detained in conse queree of having to watch by the sick bed of an invalid son. He is a gentleman of much local influ ence, and has long had the good opinion of all classes of his fellow-townsmen. Mr. Miall holds extreme political opinions, but his cause found no favour in consequence of his being, in fact, the nominee of some of the most active leaders and patrons of the local Reform League. The poll tiok place yesterday. There was great excitement in the town during the entire day, but the crowds who assembled every where were generally good humoured. The poll showed Mr. Miall in advance till 10 o'clock, but at half-past 10 Mr. Thompson headed his opponent more than 100, and gradually left him in the dis tance. The following' is the state of the poll at the clase Thompson ••• ••• ••• 2,214 Miall ••• ••• ••• 1,839 FEMALE ART EDUCATION.—John W.

His lordship is daily expected to leave for Paris to enter upon his diplomatic duties. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC HIERARCHY IN IRELAND. At the meeting of the Archbishops and Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland that took place recently in Dublin, a series of importan t resolutions was adopted, having particular reference to-1. The disendowment of the Protestant Church Establishment and the application of its revenues 2. National education ; 3. The Catholic University; and 4. On secret societies, and on the means of establishing peace and prosperity in Ireland. Fel" lowing is the text of the principal resolutions : " The Archbishops and Bishops of Ireland, seeing that the Government and Parliament are preparing to deal by law with the Irish Protestant Church Establishment, deem it their duty to declare.— " 1. That the Irish Protestant Church Establish ment is maintained chiefly, almost exclusively, by property and revenues unjustly alienated from the rightful owner, the Catholic Church of Ireland that Irish Catholics cannot cease to feel as a grc° l4 injustice and as an abiding insult the continued , even partial, maintenance of that Establishmen t out of that endowment, or in any other way at their expense—an Establishment to which, as to their fountain-head, are to be traced the waters of bitter ness which poison the relations of life in Ireland+ and estrange from one another Protestants an d Catholics, who ought to be an united people. " 2. That notwithstanding the rightful claim of the Catholic Church in Ireland to have restored to it the property and revenue of which it was 1 . 111- justly deprived, the Irish Catholic Bishops hereby re-affirm the resolutions of the bishops assembled in the years 1835, 1841, and 1843 ; and, adhering t o the letter and spirit of those resolutions, distinctly declare that they will not accept endowment front the State out of the property and revenues n° l held by the Protestant Establishment, nor AO State endowment whatever. "3. That in thus declaring their determinatio n to keep the Church of Ireland free and independe nt of of State control or interference, the Bishops Ireland are hlppily in accord with instructions r e ; ceived from the Holy See in the years 1801 O A 1805, as well as with the course pursued by th ° Irish Bishops of that day in conformity with tlloS e instructions. "4. That the Bishops are confident that the Catholics of Ireland will receive with joy this re" pudiation of a State endowment for the Iri sh Church, and that they will never cease to giv e :, without any legal compulsion; the support they hither - 0 freely and dutifully accorded to their clergy and religious institutions. "6. That by appropriating the ecclesiastical pro" perty in Ireland for the benefit of the poor the Le' gislature would realise one of the purposes for which it was originally destined, and to which it was ar plied in Catholic times. " The assembled Bishops reaffirm the resolutio n° in reference to education adopted in a general meet' ing held by the Bishops of Ireland in Dublin on the 4th and following days of August, 1863." The resolutions referred to are strongly condett" natory of the principle of mixed education, in whic h religion is " unnaturally separated from secular in' struction ; in which the State would substitute i t ' l own power for the authority of the Catholic Church in respect to the education of Catholic youth." The constitution of the model and traini n g sohoola ,d condemned as especially dangerous and conflicting with the principles of the Catholic Church. " The Bishops call particular attention to the re; solution which declares that the constitution (" the model and training schools evidently conel with the principles of the Catholic Church, au which enjoins on priests to use their best exertio ns to withdraw children from them as being s pecinlif e dangerous. They direct that the resolution 11 promulgated anew in all parishes from which it be apprehended that children would go to thl schools ; and that priests be again instructed tha t / is their imperative duty to enforce it to the utra° st of their power. " The meeting decides that a petition be sent to Parliament praying for such a c h ange i n the ex ist' ing national system of education as may afford, t ; the Catholics of Ireland all the ad van tages to whe t they are entitled. • 1 " Whilst we warn ou r fl oc k s a gainst the crioon a folly of engaging in secret societies or open ins ur e rection against the Government of the count* lit also declare to the Government and Legislature ° ti ll profound conviction that peace and prosperity 811 ,! 0 never be permanently established in Ireland till 0 Protestant Church is totally disendowed, educa ti°o 4 in all its departments made free, and the fruits `',.l their capital and labour secured to the agrieult ur°. classes."
