A manifesto of the Left and the Democratic party was published this afternoon, in which it was de clared that the new constitution does not realise the wishes of the nation, nor establish national self government. Personal government remains intact, and preserves its most dangerous prerogatives both in foreign and home affairs. The new constitution consigns to the exclu-ive initiative of the chief of the State the essential r:At of all free people to reform the fundamental i stitutions when necessary, and confers upon the Executive power the Caesarian right of appeal to the people, which is nothing but the permanent menace of a coup d'etat. What the Executive demands is the abdication by the nation and the alienation of the national sovereignty, and the infeudation of po pular rights in the hands of one man and one family. The manifesto concludes by recommending the elec tors to vote "no" at the Plebiscite, although not ex cluding blank bulletins, or abstention, as well as other modes of protest. The manifesto is signed by the Deputies Arago, Bancel, Cremieux, Desseaux, Down, Esqueros, Ferry, Gambetta, Pages, Geriult, Bizoni, Grevy, Magrim, Ordinaire, Pelletan, and eight journalists. The editors of the blarsellaise have not signed the manifesto.

FLORENCE, April 20. The _ltalie of to-day asserts that the General Financial Committee of the Chamber of Deputies has agreed upon a modification of the treaties con cluded by the Governcnent with the National Bank, by limiting the loan to 122 millions of lire on the surety of Ecclesiastical Estates Bonds, whilst the previous portion of the 378 millions of lire shall remain in statu quo. The bank, it is stated, would agree to the reduction of its commission on the above 500 millions of lire, from 80 to 60 c)reimes per cent. and possibly even to 50 centimes per cent. , ,mtt LOIVDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1870. tritAxcE is not the only country passing through a constitutional crisis. There have been Ministerial changes at Vienna as well as at Paris, and on the Danube no less than on the Seine it remains to be seen if a change in the personnel of the Ministry is the precursor of a far more serious event. In France the question at issue is the maintenance of a dynasty : in Austria it is the main tenance of Lie Empire. It is now nearly thirty years since Prince Schwarzenberg attempted to establish an abolitionist and unitarian em pire. The defeat of Solferino rendered that design impracticable, and Schmerling offered a Constitu tional Empire, yet thought that he might still maintain the unity of Austria. The Hungarians would not accept the concession. They didnot cease to demand, as they had for the previous ten years demanded, the right to govern themselves. Nor was their claim ill founded, nor was their hostility to their sovereign without reason. He was bound by the Constitution to be crowned King of Hungary no less than Emperor of Austria, and until he had fulfilled that obligation, the Hungarians were not legally bound to acknowledge his rule. They refused to sit in the Reichsrath, and they offered a passive resistance infinitely harder to deal with than Kossuth's insurrection. But the Emperor and his Ministers held out. True, a constitution was granted in 1861. But this constitution was suspended by the two Ministers, Count Est erhazy, the Hunga rian, and Count Belvedi, the At alien. It was not until after the disaster at Sadowa that Francis Joseph saw the absolute necessity of break ing with his old connections if he would save his empire from utter destruction. It was necessary to find a substitute, and he was discovered in the person of Baron, afterwards Count Bengt, who as delegate of the Germanic Confederation at the London conference, which preceded the Deno- German war, had attracted much notice by his great ability and excellent disposition. Count Beast was a foreigner, and a Protestant, and it may be easily imagined that the appoint ment of this heretic Saxon was viewed with extreme dismay by the aristocratic Viennese. Nor did his first measures reassure them. He at once let it be known that he accepted the principle of dualism, that is, would give Hungary a Parliament of its own. The formation of a responsible Hungarian Ministry and the Coronation of Francis Joseph as King at Buda-Pesth followed. The next step was to put an end to the Concordat with Rome. In order to effect that object the " Conies sicnal laws were passed, sanctioning civil marriages and depriving the clergy of the monopoly of teaching in szhools. The opposition was loud and vehement, but the people sided enthusiastically with the Minister, and in spite of the protests of such men as the Bishop of Linz the confessional laws were passed. But while Count Beast had, by accepting the prin ciple of dualism, pacified Hungary, he had but given fresh impetus to the demands for autonomy made by by the other non-German States. The State which we call Austria contains a population of nearly 35 millions, but of these, less than 10 millions are Ger mans. Magyars, Sclaves, Roumanians, and other races make up the remainder. The Magyars of Hungary having obtained their demands, the other peoples resolved that they, too, would insist upon autonomy. A compromise was effected between the Sclaves of Croatia and the Magyars of Hungary, but between these and the Sclaves and the Roumanians beyond the Leitha, no agreement could be made. The Czechs of Bohemia and the Moravians (both Sclavonic) had once formed an independent Kingdom, and they now soight to recover at least a poition of their influence, to regain at least the right of governing themselves in a Parliament of their own, subject to the Imperial Reichsrath. They were joined in this movement by the Poles. These last, however, did not at the out set go so far as the Czechs. The Czechs drew up a protest, and their " patriots" withdrew from the Pro vincial Diet at Prague, and refused to sit in the Parliament at Vienna. Within the present year the separation movement has been going on with accele rated rapiiity. In January six deputies from the Tyrol left the Reichsrath. The thirty-seven Polish deputies, after long discussion, followed this example, and theirs was followed by the deputies from other States. Sixty-eight in all withdrew from the Impe rial Parliament, thereby protesting in behalf of the federal principle and the right of self-government, a principle vehemently repudiated by the Germans. These events led to a Ministerial crisis. The Cabinet of which Giskra, Herbst, and Brestl were the chief members, resigned. Count Potocki, formerly Minister of Agriculture, was charged with the formation of a new Ministry. He endeavoured to obtain the co-operation of Rechbauer, but as that statesman demanded a large reduction of the army, it was found impossible to come to terms with him. A pro visional Cabinet was therefore formed, which will hold office until the wishes of the whole empire with respect to the constitutional questions at issue have been decided by a general election. But there is a long task before the new Ministry and the Em• peror. At present the members of the Reichsrath are not elected directly by the people, but by the members of the several local Diets, who are so elected. The system, in fact, bears some analogy to that which exists in the United States of America. It is intended that hereafter this system shall be abandoned, an (Urea election substituted. But the penct%ng elections will take place under the old arrangement, and the Reichsrath, so elected, will decide upon the great constitutional questions of the autonomy of the various States and the right of direct representation. Assuming that the majority of the Reichsrath will be favourable to these changes, it is probable that the new provisional Ministry will not oppose them. In that case, the metamorphosis of the Austrian Empire will have become complete. Thenceforward the name "Austria" will represent a number of Federal States, each governing itself so far as its own affairs are concerned, and sending to Vienna representatives charged solely with transacting the little business that concerns them all. The St. Petersburg Universal Exhibition is to be opened on the 25th instant. Immediately after the opening the Eraperz Alexander will go for six weeks Era, - THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 21, 1870.

WEDNESDAY. • - To-day, in the Court of Queen's Bench, Sir John Karslake moved for a criminal information against the publisher and part proprietor of the Sheffield Telegraph, for having published the following libel on the 4th of April :—"Startlingßumour.—The Prince of Wales likely to appear in the Divorce Court again. It is stated in West minster Hall that the Prince of Wales is likely to be again mentioned in the Divorce Court as a co-respondent, in the case in which a countess is the respondent. The case is to be one by the Earl of Sefton against the Countess." Sir John said there was not the slightest foundation for the allegation. Forasmuch as the statement was utterly void of truth, the information would be granted. The Lord Chief Justice : Certainly, certainly. Sir John Karslake stated that an apology, unasked, had appeared in the paper ; but his clients felt it to bu their duty to apply to the Queen's Bench. The information was then granted. DER MAJESTY.

General Prim replied that he neither could nor woild become King, and he and his party rejected the two other candidates. • Senor Pasada Herrera, the President of the Super or Tribunal of Madrid, has resigned and will be replaced by Senor Nareise Lopez. In to-day's sitting of the Coves Senor Figuerns asked whether the Government had laid upon the table of the House documents referring to the recent outbreaks at Barcelona. The President replied in the negative. Senor Ochoa asked for documents referring*, the trial of the Duke of Montpensier, denying the com petency of the court-martial, and making exceptions against the composition of the latter and against the sentence. Marshal Prim replied by refusing to sutunit the documents to the House, and by defending the com petency aLd the composition of the court - martial, as well as the sentence pronounced.' Senor Izquierda declared that he felt satisfaction at having attended to the duty of presiding officer at the court-martial ; whereupon Senor Ochoa with drew his motion. Subsequently the House, by 148 against 37 votes, adopted the Army Contingent Bill, and also the Public Order Bill by 156 against 27 votes. CADIZ, April 20.

The action was tried at the Surrey Assizes, before Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and was to recover £93 7s. for goods sold and delivered, when the plaintiff was nonsuited, with leave to move on a reserved point. The plaintiff, a hop merchant in the City, sold a quantity (14 pockets) of hops to the defendant, a brewer at Palgrave, in 1868, and forwarded a six months' bill for the amount, which the defendant refused to sign, on principle. Some correspondence en sued, and ultimately the defendant refused to take the hops, whereupon an action was commenced against him. It was contended by Mr. Dixon, hi support of the rule, that the defendant's acceptance of bulk samples (being about half-a-pound to each pocket of hops) was a ratification of the contract, as bulk samples were only sent on demand after the completion of a con tract. Mr. Justice Brett pointed out that the difficulty of the case was that the samples were not weighed in with the bulk, and therefore it might be said that they, were not part of the goods actually sold. Their lordships recommended that the plaint for "goods sold and delivered" be abandoned, and reliance be placed on the damage sustained by non acceptance. This was agreed to, and the rule was made absolute fo r £23135 ., being the difference in value between the contract price and the price when the defendant re fused to accept delivery. A SPANISH RECREATION. During Holy Week at Seville a Biblical drama was per rbrmed on a scale of great magnificence. A contributor to the Times, after noticing other portions of the play, goes on to say :—Great importance is attached to the suicide of Judas Iscariot. An elaborate set-scene, with a movable cataract, which, perhaps, to Spanish eyes seems an accurate imitation of real water, is provided for the occa sion, and over this inclines the tree whereon the despairing traitor hangs himself in the presence of the audience. The selected branch breaks, Judas falls into the water, the stage becomes illumined with red fire, and a number of devils, very like those who carry off Don Giovanni, dance about to express their satisfaction. The sublimity of the awful scene is somewhat marred by the circumstance that the curtain no sooner descends than it rises again, in order that Judas may bow his acknowledgments to a highly appreciative public. On the evening when I witnessed the performance, he was the only person who was thus specially honoured. His part, indeed, is, for an actor, the best in the piece, and was exceedingly well played with, I grieve to add, something like a sense of comic humour. A modicum of the Terentian Davus or Geta, as represented by a very clever " Westminster," seemed to infuse itself into the character of the Scriptural traitor, and the brutal independence which marked his whole career, and which contrasted strongly with the reverence of his fellow dis ciples, is evidently intended to be amusingr And this is very horrible, but—so it is. THE POPE WASHING THE PILGRIMS' FEET. A correspondent at Rome, who went to St. Peters on Thursday in Holy Week, writes respecting the usual re ception of poor pilgrims by the Pope :—The waiting at the table of the pilgrims was done, as usual, in the hall over the portico ; so this I saw not, and can only say what I heard. A long table was spread, and very tastily adorned with vases of flowers—much, I should think, as at a London din ner party. The pilgrims were placed along it, and had something given them, nobody could say what, and equally inscrutable was the amount of the Pope's service. The squeezing was terrific. One of my infor mants saw a priest carried out insensible by two Zouaves ; but, on the other hand, a lady, whose looks would win her way, reports that she got a good sight of the Pope and the table, and was pre sented with one of the flowers. The Pope returned to the choir, and soon did the feet-washing. There sat on a bench raised above the heads of the assembled bishops twelve men in large, loose-fitting, whitish garments, with very tall caps of the same hue. The Pope came to them, well supported by Cardinals, and supplied with water and towels from the dressing-table, which 1. had thought a sideboard. All one could see was a won derful quantity of bowing and kissing. Wherever the Pope's hand went, a head bent down to kiss it. They say that he really does throw some drops of water on their feet, and rub them off with a napkin. The poor men, it is said, are priests who ask the honour. GREAT STORM AT BUENOS AYRES. The Buenos Ayres Standard reports that one of the most fearful storms ever experienced in the River Plate, burst over Buenos Ayres, on the 9th of March. The rain fall was the most dreadful ever known ; the algibes were soon filled, and then the water flooded all the lower rooms of the houses, in some places to the height of three feet. The captain of the bark Damon says it was the most fearful gale he ever experienced ; it blew so hard that he could not stand on deck, and the water washed clean over his ship; his anchors could not prevent him from dragging about 120 fathoms. Her Majesty's ship Cracker rode it out well, having foreseen the storm by the fall of the glass from 29'90 at noon to 29'58 when the storm began ; four ships drove past her, but did no harm. The whale boats were carried about in every direction ; one was seen to go down with two men aboard, and of the 72 lost or aground, it is believed many of them had one or two men aboard. Up to the present it seems the loss of life in the city and port cannot be less than 20 persons, and the damage to property and merchandise may be estimated at £lOO,OOO to £130,000. People in Europe will read with amazement of men and horses being drowned in the streets f isluenos Ayres. A TRANSATLANTIC MURDER. A curious page of American social life has lately been exhibited to us in the history of a murder committed on board a Mississippi steamer. The victim was an old gen tleman named St. John, holding the military rank of gene ral, and his assailant was also in the army. The general who was a passenger by the steamer, was quietly seated at dinner in the saloon, when Colonel Jones and his two sons, with whom he had some feud boarded the steamer walked into the saloon and shot him dead on the spot. The other passengers hid themselves, being apparently terror stricken, but the murderers attempted no further violence. They landed at the next opportunity, and went quietly away. Strange as it may seem to us, no at tempt was made to bring them to justice, until a son of the murdered man saw the Colonel and his sons at a landing place one day and fired at them. Becoming apprehensive that the friends of the General would take the law into their own hands, the Joneses got themselves taken into custody by the Sheriff, but the Sheriff's house was presently surrounded by a force of armed men. The Sheriff and his family proved very inefficient guardians, for th e y b ea t a h asty retreat, leaving their prisoners to their fate. The colonel and his sons refused to fly, and barricaded themselves in an inner room, cocking their revolvers. The infuriated mob forced their way in however and killed the father and eldest son. The younger one escaped through a window and hung on to the sill by his fingers, while his pursuers looked out over his head without seeing him. After hanging there ten awful minutes he dropped to the ground, and made his way to a steamer, where he was horrified to find him self among a group of his foes. One of them recognised him, but, being a merciful man, beckoned him aside, and hid him behind a bale of cotton. There he remained hidden till he reached New Orleans, where he crawled out and told his story. His mother, who is now travelling in Eu.ropt knows as yet nothing of the tragedy. This sort of drama is not uncommon in the Southern States, though the actors dress in broadcloth, and speak and look like more self-controlled mortals. The Freon2an's Journal says that the Irish con stabulary in the past year cost on the average £77 per man, whereas in England each policeman costs the country within a fraction of £BO. Dr. Shortt, the late Bishop of St. Asaph, has been presented with an address, signed by two hundred clergy men of the diocese, expressive of their regret at his retirement from the see, in which he has laboured for so many years. President Grant Is expected in the _Russian capital and a most brilliant reception is to be given him. Among the captives of the brigands in Greece is itlr. Edward H. C. Herbert, cousin of the Earl of Car- Af.awon. The Freemaon is enabled to announce that the installation of the Earl de Grey and _Pawn as M.W.G.M. will take place on Wednesclay. 27th inst. The Times Madrid correspondent sends this curl ious telegram.—The Sva,nish papers comment severely on • a statement that is being circulated to the effect that at a recent banquet in Rome in honour of the Prince Alfonso, Lord Derby, in the presence of various Generals, Cardinals, Spanish Bishops, and members of the ex-Royal family of Naples, gave the following toast : ---` In my name, and that of all my friends of the British Parliament, I drink to the Prince of Asturias."'

The prisoners went ar some time previously, and they were found in the 11°00 where Mrs. Ellis was living. She rented one °by only. The brothers rented another. It was aller cl o s Ellis that the prisoners had not only stolen his C. ea but also his' wife, and shared her affections b etty them.
