THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDI77ON. (From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) BOMBAY, Oct. 14. Nature evidently forgot all about special corre spondents when she made it impossible for one man to be in two places at once. No sooner am I ar rived in Bombay than I find the advance brigade of the expeditionary force on the point of starting for Massowah, and as I watch the transports steaming out of harbour, amid the most untropically energetic cap-waving and cheering of a swarm of blue-jackets the Octavia, feel a twinge of envy at the thought that it may possibly fall to the lot of some luckier correepondent to record deeds of prowess done by the Brigade on Abyssinian ground. Besides, everything Abyssinian seems just now so vividly associated in the British mind with all that is roman tic and terrible—impenetrable forests, pathless pre cipices, hyenas, lions, and cut_throat tribes—that I quite despair of writing anything about the expedi tion that will not disappoint your readers from matter-of-fact Bombay, where the very utmost I could offer them, in the way of horrors, is a small snake or jackal. It is like having to write a sensa tion novel without being allowed one murder or suicide. However, on the other hand, only a small portion of the expeditionary force has left Bombay. The main body and the Commander-in-Chief will probably not get away for another six weeks, so I think it best not to sacrifice—for the present, at any rate—the obvious advantages of being at head quarters, and console myself with the reflection that even were I the historian of the fortunate warriors who are to enjoy the first sight of Abyssinia, I might have nothing more romantic or terrible to describe for your readers than the ravages of mos quitoes and the masterly debarcation of mules. There has been a notion here that the advance bri gade were to push on into the interior of Abyssinia, either to make a dash, if occasion offered, at the prisoners, or in the hope of terrifying Theodore by their actual presence into a surrender, and thus at the last moment avert the necessity of moving the main body at all. But they are really to act only as a pioneer force on a large scale, to select a good landing-place, build sheds and barracks, establish a depot, and make all other arrangements for the re ception and accommodaion of the main force. After this, if it be found unnecessary or undesirable to re main at Massowab, and there await the arrival of the Commander-in-Chief. Bombay still professes to hope the Commander-in-Chief may never reach Abyssinia ; that at the eleventh hour Theodore, see ing that England is really in earnest, may " cave in," or the prisoners be somehow released. But I trust it is not uncharitable (since mortals are mas ters only of their will and not of their inclinations) to say that the lips have decidedly more to do with this profession than the heart. The expedition is as popular here as it is unpopular at home, and there is the most amusing contrast between the gloomy, de sponding tone in which the dangers and difficulties of a march through Abyssinia are harped upon and bemoaned by the English public, and the easy, off hand style in which they are disposed of by the public in India. It would be less surprising if this couleur-de-rose view were confined to Bombay, which is to have nearly all the glory and excitement of the expedition without the expense. A cheap ex cursion to Hades itself would be welcomed as an agreeable variation from the monotony of an Anglo- Indian soldier's life, who, like the Irishman, soon " gets mouldy from want of a bating." Yesterday a sergeant told me he hoped it was true that the Abyssinians were fond of fighting, for that " we sadly wanted something to liven us." But the rest of India is equally sanguine. The Friend of India, one of the leading Anglo-Indian papers, considers that " the difficulties are trifling enough, and become less so as our information enlarges ;" and a wild scheme worthy of Colney-hatch, for sending 200 volunteers into the heart of Abyssinia (one patriot actually offering to embark £2,000 in the speculation) has been discussed by a portion of the press in all sober ness and gravity. However, this sanguine spirit of heroism is harm less enough, and even matter for congratulation, since it has not been allowed to affect the scale on which the preparations for the expedition are being made, or to diminish the labour and precautions necessary to insure success. We may talk of sending 200 heroes into Abyssinia to eclipse Thermopylae, and recall the golden age of chivalry, but as a matter of fact we are taking as large and well equipped a force as the gloomiest prophet in England could wish. The entire force leaving India is to consist of over 12,000 effectives. Of these 4,000 will"be Europeans —four regiments of infantry (Ist battalion 4th Foot, the 2Gth, 33d, and 45th), two squadrons of cavalry (3d Dragoon Guards), five batteries of artillery (C-E, R. 11. A.; G-14, R.A.; 3-21, R.A.; 5-21, R.A.; and 5-25, R. A.). The remainder will consist of na tives, as follows :—lnfantry, 9 regiments-2d (Gre nadiers), sth (Light Infantry), Bth, 10th, 18th, 25th Light Infantry, Ist Belooch Battalion, and one (Punjab) from Bengal; cavalry, four regiments (3d Light Cavalry, 10th ditto, 12th ditto, and 3.1 Scinde llorse ; six companies of Sappers, and the 23d (Pun jab) Pioneers, and No. 1 company of Native Artil lery. One of the above-mentioned batteries will have Armstrong guns, with elephant carriage for the mountains ; two mountain trains will go from India, and guns and equipment for two more will be sent out from England. The British infantry will have the Snider rifle, the artillery and cavalry the Snider carbine. The Native Infantry will have the new pattern smooth bore musket, except the Belooch Battalion, which will have the Enfield. Ammunition will be taken in boxes, suited to mule carriage, to the amount of 500 rounds per man for infantry, and 200 for cavalry. As the chief difficulty against which the army will have to contend will probably be that of trans port over precipitous mountains and through narrow defiles, the one great object which is being steadily kept in view throughout the preparations, and to which all others are made subordinate, ie light equipment, of a kind always, if necessary, a lapt able to mule carriage. Thus the howitzers in the mountain train battery, throwing a 121 b. shell 800 yards, do not weigh more than 2001 b., a load just within the capacity of a stout mule. The 5i inch mortars, throwing a 241 b. shell 800 yards, weigh only 1501 b. A portable pontoon train is being prepared expressly for mule carriage, which can be taken in sections by five mules. Another kind (Blanchard's infantry pontoon) is going, which can be taken in short lengths by two mules. Cow-hides capable of being inflated will also be used for cross ing rivers. In addition to the army of 12,000 fighting men there will be at least 8,000 followers. This is the number at present allowed, but I confess I scarcely myself see how it can be kept down to this, if it be true (as 1 learn on good authority) that vigorous efforts are being made to muster some 35,000 animals altogether at Massowah. The failure at Bhootan was in great measure attributed to the paucity of mule. teem, the t re being only one to every three mules. Now, 24,000 mules are being collected (from India,Bagdad, Egypt, Spain, and Syria) for the Abyssian expedi tion, and the 8,000 followers cannot, most certainly, be all of them muleteers. Then there will be ponies, bullocks, a few camels (from Aden), and 40 ele phants (from Calcutta). How far the camels and elephants will be, able to go remains to be proved. The accounts of.travellers through Abyssinia are so conflicting that any statement advanced by one is sure to he contradicted by some other. If heavier beasts prove tr_elesq, the mules will have a hard t of it. • I should be sorry wantonly to harrow the British taxpayer's feeling, but it may perhaps be as well to mention a fact or two that may help to prepare him for the little Abyssinian account in store for him. The expenditure of the Commissariat Department for food in Bombay itself alone, not counting money spent in other parts of this Presidency or elsewhere, and exclusive of trans port, purchase of animals, medical stores, &c., is estimated at £100,009 a month, and the expedition is not to advance into Abyssinia until it has seven months' food actually collected, and a three months' reserve guaranteed ready a soon as wanted. Ilmvy as this is, the cost of transport is proportionately heavy. I cannot estimate the total amount, for I don't yet know how many transports it will be neces sary to engage. Besides Government, although it hires the great majority, has purchased a few (as the more economical course), and this rather com plicates the calculation. But, to take only one very significant item, the advance brigade, which does not constitute one-eighth of the entire force, took up five sailing vessels (aggregate tonnage 4,915) and six steamers (5,068 tons). The sailing vessels get on an average £1 per ton a month, the steamers £2 Bs. (Government also supplying coal), and all transports are guaranteed six mouths' employ. Thus to move the advance brigade from Bombay to Mas sowah involved an outlay of over £lOO,OOO, Govern ment having, of course, the use of the transports for what remains of the six months. I have heard the total cost of the expedition roughly estimated by one who is in a position to make a good guess at from five to six millions ; but I have not myself yet seen materials enough for a judgment whether this amount is anywhere near the mark. As might he expected the formidable dimensions of time force have provoked considerable criticism, but if an expedition into Abyssinia must be made, success should be as certain as military science can render it ; and this can only be effected in an un known hostile territory by proceeding in the forma tion of a base line, on which are established depots of provisions, and military posts of sufficient strength to maintain communications. A strong post will also.be wanted near enough to the tract occupied by Theodore, to form a base from which operations can be carried on against him. These precautions cannot be taken without plenty of men, and I have even heard (though not on the best authority) that Sir Robert Napier would like to have 4,000 more. He would not have much trouble in getting them, so far as the men themselves are con- cerned. The other day, when the Ist regiment to sail, the 10th Native infantry, required a few men to complete their number, so many volunteers came forward from two regiments in garrison with them, that the 10th could have doubled its strength in an hour. The army is in capital temper and spirits, and has complete confidence in its chief. Indeed, it is to this confidence, entertained in military circles all overlndia, that may be, in some measure, attributed those sanguine theories about the expedition to which I have before referred. The favourable report of Colonel Merewether, Bombay's philosopher and guide in this affair, may, too, have something to do with them, and also the notion that the effeminate Englishmen who live at home at 'ease take fright at conditions of climate which it is the proud privi lege of the Anglo-Indian veteran to despise. The confidence felt in Sir Robert Napier is due quite as much to his reputation for a kind heart as to his reputation for a strong will, and cool, clear head. It is felt that in this expedition a General is wanted who will not, a la Napoleon, be ready to sacrifice his men to the chance of turning up, for his own profit and glory, a trump card. Besides, as your readers will see by the subjoined extract from the Bombay Army List, the Commander-in-Chief has gone through quite enough arduous and successful service to justify a considerable amount of confi dence in him : " Lieutenant-General Sir Robert Napier, K.C.8., Royal Engineers, served throughout the Sutlej cam paign of 1845-46, Chief Engineer at Moodkee (horse killed) and at Ferozeshah (severely wounded, horse killed) ; Brigade Major of Engineers at Sobraon, and in the subsequent advance on Lahore (medal and clasps and Brevet Major). Appointed, 1846, chief engineer to conduct the siege of the hill fort of Kangra, and received the special thanks of Govern ment for his service in the transport of the siege train to that place. Chief Engineer during part of the siege of Mooltan, 1819 (severely wounded) ; Commanding Engineer Right wing of the Army of the Punjab at the battle of Goojerat, and in Sir Walter Gilbert's pursuit of the Sikh Army (medal, clasp, and Brevet of Lieutenant-Colonel). Com manded a column which defeated the liussunzie tribe on the Black Mountain in Hazara, 1852. Present with the expedition against the Boree Afreeders, 1852-53, received special thanks of Go vernment. Chief of Sir J. Outram's Staff, 1857; present in the several actions leading to the first relief of Lucknow, Mungulwar, Alumbagh, and Charbagh ; commanded the troops in the rescue of the sit-ge train which had been surrounded and cut off in the suburbs ; the sortie for the capture of Phillip's Garden Battery ; and other separate operations (severely wounded). Present as Chief of the Staff in the later operations at the Alumbagli. Bri gadier and Chief Engineer at the siege of Lucknow, 1858, K.C.B. Commanded a brigade at the cap ture of Gwalior, defeated Tantia Topee at Joura, Alipoor, and captured 25 guns. When in command of the Gwalior Division, bombarded and reduced the Fort of Powrie ; after five days' close pursuit, surprised and defeated, with a squadron of the 14th Dragoons, Ferozeshah's force at Ranode. Com manded in 1860 the 2d Division of the China Ex peditionary Army ; in the action of Sinho. Present at Tanko (Division in reserve) ; with his division and the whole of the artillery, in conjunction with the French division of General Collineau, directed , the operations ending in the storm of the North Takee Fort, advance on and occupati.)n of Pekin." It certainly was not for want of tight packing that so many transports were required for the Ad vance Brigade. I went over three of them, and the mules were as closely stowed away together between decks as sardines, on the principle, apparently, that if rough weather came on, and the vessel pitched or rolled, they might stand their ground, and defy the motion in one solid mass. The horses were treated with a little more ceremony, being separated from each other by rough extempore railings. As for the men, unless they slept on or under the animals, or, like the mules, standing all together for mutual support in a row, I cannot conjecture how they disposed of themselves. Happily the native sol dier (there were no European regiments in the Advance Brigade, it being considered undesirable to expose European constitutions more than can be helped to the climate of Massowah) is a patient, much-enduring animal, always ready to take his food or sleep when he can get it, but wonderfully resigned when he is obliged to go without it, and as great an economist of weight and space as Sir Charles Napier himself, although his travelling toilette does not usually take the form of a toothbrush and clean shirt. Imagine an Eng lishman obliged, in addition to the othei miseries of life on board ship, having to live for ten days or so on parched corn. This is what probably more than half of the native soldiers who go to Abyssinia will do without a murmur. Omnipotent and capri cious caste, though it allows them to eat and sleep, will not allow them to cook when on the " black water," so they are given rations of parched grain, with a little sugar and ghee to flavour it and water to wash it down. Of the followers, or non-com batants, who, being mostly of a lower caste than the soldiers, are less troubled with scruples of this kind, the great majority will as soon cook on board ship as anywhere else. The heat between decks towards night was something awful, although in the hope of mitigating it large ventilating shafts were run down from above, and holes knocked in the deck, with a proper military preference of the com fort of the mules to the pockets of the shipowners. • It seemed to me as if no animal could exist there for an hour; but a few natives, who might just as easily have been on deck, were lolling about, every man his own Turkish bath, as if one of the greatest 'pleasures in life was unlimited perspiration. The last mail brought us intelligence that ten mules belonging to the pioneer force had died from the heat ou the way to Aden, but that there had been no casualties among the men or horses. The un eventful history of the Abpsinian Expedition is, so far, briefly this :—On the 16th of last month the pioneer force, consisting of 40 men of the 31 Native Light Cavalry, about 100 men of the 21st Native Infantry, and a company of Sappers and Miners, left Bombay, and in ten days reached Aden, with no other incident worth chronicling than the tragedy recorded above. lhe force was accompanied by Col. Merewether, C. 8., Col. Phayre, Col. Wil kins, R.E., and other officers. It wa3 followed three or four days ago by the advance brigade, consist ing of the remainder of the 3d Light Cavalry, the 10th Native Infantry, two compains of Sappers and Miners, one company of nat've artillery, a Land Transport Corps, a MArine b ittalion—in all nearly three thousand men--including non-com batants. The next detachment is t sail from Kur- THE SUN, vo TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 5, 1867. rachee, about the end of this month. It is to con sist of the 33d Regiment (Europeans), the 27th Native Infantry (Belooches), and G 14 Royal Ar tillery—in all about 1,650 fighting men and nearly 1,200 followers. It is hoped that the rest of the force—the main body—will be able to leave with tho Commander-in-Chief towards the end of November, or early in December. Bombay, having undertaken the responsibility of the expedition, provides by far the largest portion of the force. Bengal contributes only two regiments of Light Cavalry (10th and 12th), one regiment (23d) of Pioneors, three com panies of sappers, one battery (S 25, Royal Artil lery), and one regiment (which regiment is not yet decided) of Native Infantry. The Madras army, which, if gallantry and efficiency in foreign service had been the chief considerations, should have played a very prominent part in such an expedition as the Abyssinian, contributes only three companies of Sappers—G and II from Bangalore and K from Secunderabad. But political considerations had their usual weight, and whatever she may be in the field, Madras in council is no match for Calcutta. However, Madras may have at least this source of consolation, that though she does contribute but little to the Abyssinian campaign, that little is of sterling stuff. By universal admission there are no finer troops in India than the Madras Sappers, and they are admirably officered. Officers are being asked for from all three Presidencies, and now and then it is by no means easy to get them. A few facts have transpired which form a curious com mentary upon the virtues of the irregular system. If Madras had contributed,as was at first expected, a brigade, the Commander-in-Chief, was going very largely to increase the number of officers sup plied under that system to each regiment, and Sir Robert Napier has had to telegraph to Madras— the last Presidency in which the system came into operation—for subalterns under seven years' ser vice, and, according to report, he cannot get them. (From an Occasional Correspondent.) ADEN, OCt. 19. The transports containing the Advanced Brigade of the Abyssinian Field Force arrived here on the 16 th inst., af cer a beau tif ul passage, without casualty, from Bombay. The troops are :-3d Bombay Light Cavalry, 10th Bombay Native Infantry, three com panies Bombay Native Sappers, and one battery (mule) Mountain Train. The vessels leave this afternoon for Abyssinia, convoyed by the Bombay Government steamer Sir Bartle Frere. The steamship Norna arrived on the night of the 16th with despatches from Colonel Merewether up to the 13th inst. He directs the ships to fill with as much water as possible and pro ceed at once. The following is a description of the country : The place chosen for debarkation is Ansley Bay, 20 miles south of Massowah, lat. 15 15 N., long. 39 45 W. ; the bay faces towards the north. An chorage good in deep water. It is approached from the south coast without any unusual difficulty, all the impediments being visible. The land is a sandy plain, with patches of brushwood, but no forest. It abounds with both large and small game. Drink able water is not to be found within 16 miles of the coast, but at that distance a good and abundant supply was discovered in one of the deep ravines which intersect the country at right angles to the coast line. All the troops that can be spared will be at once marched up to this high land, but large working parties will be required to land stores, make piers, &c. A number of Chinese carpenters accompany this brigade to put up commissariat sheds, which have been made in Bombay, ready to be at once fitted. The water for these working parties will have to be supplied from the ships. Colonel Merewether's party were busily employed in making a pier to land troops and stores. Before reaching a depth of 91t. (the rise and fall is 4ft.) at lowest tides it will be 100 yards in length Some coolies had been sent from Aden to carry on the work. It had been hot there, but is now getting cooler. 'Thermometer on shore over 100 deg. dur ing day, 72 deg. at night. About 12 o'clock noon a delicious sea breeze set in, which lasted until mid night. Rain is expected there this month. It is an ticipated that supplies will be procurable, cattle being easily obtained. The troops of the advanced brigade are to make three piers for the main por tion of the force, one for landing stores, with a double line of tramway for this purpose ; two miles of tramway, with waggons, have been despatched already—two piers are also to be made for lauding troops, with a depth of four feet of water at lowest tides. AUSTRIAN LIBERALS AND THE CONCORDAT. Josephism is not extinct in Austria. There was an unpleasant tone in the Emperor of Austria's letter to the Cardinal Archbishop of Vienna which reminds one not a little of the traditional language of Austrian statecraft. The advice and the warn- ing of the bishops was not only kindly meant and spoken in season, but their exposition of the re ligious dangers which threatened society in Austria showed a profound knowledge of the critical state of the country and the peculiar weakness and tem ptations of the times. The reply of the Emperor was a confession of weakness on his part, and an encouragement to the very evils which the bishops brought under his notice. The bishops declared that the Concordat which restored the rights and the liberties of the Catholic Church was attacked because it was a public and national recognition of religion ; that its enemies were the enemies of morality and faith; that in the abrogation of the Concordat they sought the destruction of the sacred and indissoluble character of marriage, and the instalment of a godless in the place of a Chris tian education in the national schools. The Em peror's letter to the bishops and his answer to the audacious address of the municipality of Vienna have given a signal triumph to the enemies of the Church, and imparted to the irreligious movement an audacity and strength which it did not hitherto so openly display. The press, which in Vienna is mostly in the hands of Jews or unbelievers, the majority in the Reichsrath, the noisy politicians, the professional agitators, the municipal councils, a large body of the schoolmasters—those, in a word, who now lead in Austria and dictate terms to the Emperor—are but a small fraction of the people, and do not at all represent their real wishes and interests. But their influence is great and their example con tagious, especially in an age and country in which depth of conviction and independence of thought are not common qualities. The Austrians are an easy-going people, prone to self-indulgence, slothful in temper, and un spiritual in character, and even many of their good qualities make them reluctant to come into collie sion with these who are deceiving and betraying them. The old evils of Josephism, moreover, have left a taint on the minds of the middle classes ; the upper classes are worldly and luxurious, their energies too often misspent in the pursuit of plea sure ; whilst the great body of professional men form that section of Austrian society which is ac tively hostile to religion. The consequence of this state of things was for a long time manifest only in obstinate resistance to all attempts at religious revival even on the part of a not inconsiderable section of the priesthood ; passive opposition by the officials and by some of the elder clergy to the Con cordat; and in that slothful indifference to religion which too often emptied the churches of Vienna, or filled them only with has . y or indevout congre gations. The occasion was only wanting with a sufficient sting in it for a large section of the ruling and influential classes to convert an habitual in sensibility to religious principles into an active and bitter hostility against religion. The Concordat which the Emperor Francis Joseph, after the terrors of the Revolution of 1848, entered into with the Holy See, by restoring the rights and liberties of the Church in Austria, gave an impetus to religion, the active revival of which is now the occasion for that manifestation of hos tility against the Church, which, with the exception of revolutionary Italy, is greater among the Austrian Liberals than in any other people in Europe. The Concordat is to the Liberals of Austria what the Temporal Power is to the Party of Action in Italy. is a point a attack and, at the rim= time, it if; pretended that this attack is not directed against the sanctity of religion and the Catholic faith, but only against the limitation of such civil rights as that of a godless education and of civil marriage. This representation is a transparent subterfuge ; and the bishops of Austria, with a determined hand, have publicly torn this subterfuge to shreds. The Liberals hoped by not attacking in so many words the Christian religion, but something which they were never weary of asserting and re-asserting had nothing in reality to do with religion, they might have gradually induced a not over-fervent or active people to have acquiesced in the destruction of the Concordat, who never would have consented to, or even remained passive under, a less cunningly contrived attack upon religion. Their plan has been ruthlessly exposed by the bishops ; the people have been undeceived ; hence the rage of the Austrian Liberals. The twenty-five bishops, after having remonstrated in vain against the encourage ment given to the irreligious party, have gone back to their several dioceses, to expose to the Catholics of Austria the real nature of the attack upon re ligion and social order concealed under the flimsy pretext of a revision of the Concordat. The clergy from the pulpit call upon their congregations:to oppose in every way the insidious attacks of the irreligious Liberals, who so grossly misrepresent the wishes and interests of the people. The Minis ter of the Interior, indeed, has been so alarmed, as in one instance to call upon a bishop to endeavour to moderate the zeal of his clergy. The apathy of Austrian Catholicism, made alive to a sense of danger by the zeal of the bishops, seems at last on the point of being fairly roused. It is not an hour too soon, for the danger is imminent. The Liberals are in the possession of the press, form a large ma jority in the Lower Chamber of the Reichsrath, and have a Ministry with Count Beust at their head. In the Lower Chamber a bill modifying the existing marriage laws, and permitting civil marriage, has already been passed . by a large majority. It was opposed by only one of the Ministers. The next step will be the introduction of a Godless system of education in the national schools. Liberalism in Austria aims at revolutionizing society in the kingdom of the Emperor Francis Joseph, as it is doing in unhappy Italy. A society such as' it desires to constitute could not exist, as the Austrian bishops tell the Emperor, " where men bend the knee at the name of Jesus. Bence this modern heathenism is no less an enemy of Chris tianity than ancient heathenism." Whose counsels is the Emperor henceforth to follow—those of the bishops or the intrigues and intimidating threats of the Liberals ? If Austria succumbs to Liberalism it will be a defeat infinitely more enduring and disastrous to the welfare of the country than the defeat which she suffered at the hands of Prussia last year.— Westnzinster Gazette. THE BISHOP OF ORLEANS' ADDRESS _TO Al. RATTAZZI. - (Concluded) Here is another q ues ti on . You spoke of giving freedom to the Church by the freedom of Italy, and what have you done ? You have put your hands upon the possessions of the Church, just in the way a ruined man would proceed to pay his debts by taking to himself his friend's or his brother's fortune. What an example, what gua rantee for the liberties of the Church ! It was said, again, that the interests of the tem poral power of Rome had nothing in common with the duties and interests of the Church. How, then, could the Sovereign Pontiff feel himself at ease in the midst of such an assembly as he so lately convoked, or able to call a Council, as he has an nounced, and in these august assemblies the reli gious interests of all the Catholic nations must be freely discussed and examined; it is not, you see, of the King of Rome, or the Court of Rome, or of the city of Rome, but of the Universal Church ? Unless his entire freedom was established, how could his greatest work go on if lie were not at liberty to assemble, when and how he chose, his bishops around him to deliberate on great religious questions ? It was said, again, that owing to the liberty and freedom of action so widely spread now, the Holy Pontiff could inhabit any city he might choose, and that no one could have the right of preventing his correspondence with his bishops, or put any hin drance to the accomplishment of his sacred mi nistry. Now, if we do but question ever so little the facts which have been accomplished iii Europe the last ten years, we shall see first, in Germany a fierce war—in Spain constant revolutionary action— France ever on the brink of war th e U n it e d States in civil war. Tell me, if you can, w he re could the Pope find an independent spot at peace if Rome were taken from him ? Would it be in Vienna, or at Munich, or at Paris, at New York, or Madrid ? Well, indeed, have facts for the last ten years belied your promises and your hopes, and fully confirmed our alarms and forebodings. Neither is it true to say that Italy is made one, nor that the temporal power is of little consequence to the Church ;. nor is it true that the Romans are more unhappy than others, nor that Italy is, or ever can be, the faithful ally of France. On the con trary, it is clearly proved that the Romans love the Pope and do not love you. It is clearly proved that the Church has need of Rome, and that it is to the interest of the world that the spiritual independence of the Pope should be maintained. Italian revolutionists, I know, do not trouble themselves about this. What they want is to see the Papacy exiled, fugitive, wandering through the world ; but then, this is precisely what the true Italian—the noble spirited, the real patriot, all, indeed, who are upright, sensible, and honest, dread as the greatest calamity that could befall their country. Why do not you put yourself resolutely at the head of this true patriotism of Italy —of that pa triotism which the illustrious Balbo understood so well when he wrote what follows?—." There exist men who pretend to be Liberals and stand up for progress, yet are mad to overthrow this kingdom of the Church, so eminently democratic in its origin —whose history, from beginning to end, is nothing but progress—so munificent and prolific in its power —where everything is democratic, even to its electors and those whom it elects. And who is there who does not know that it was the power of the Church alone in the Middle Ages that stood up for the people and their rights ? Those Italians who call themselves at times Catholic Christians, and yet avowed enemies of the temporal power of the Pope, are as inconsequent as they are egotistic. They forget that this power holds a most intimate con nection with Christianity—its unity, its power, its civilization ; in a word, with its government and its existence on earth. Poor fools ! devoid of instinct for what is to come—without any real knowledge of the situation, the experience, or the sufferings of Italy—deaf to her history and blind to her mis sion—and if, unfortunately, they obtain a hearing, we shall have to assist at the ruin of our most noble hopes." (" Cesare Balbo, Pensieri sulla storia d'ltalia." Pp. 578-9. Firenze, 1858.) These are the sentiments of one of Italy's purest and most disinterested patriots. And who is there living who does not know that M. de Rossi consi dered the Papacy as the highest moral greatness in Italy and in the world ? _ The Emperor of the French, when candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, expressed the same sentiments, and the votes of France responded to the same sounds. His Ministers have repeated them again and again, since the Italian war, be fore the Chambers, with the most solemn engage ments never to deliver Rome up to the Revolution. M. Billault exclaimed, before the Corps Legis latif, " To abandon Rome would be to erase from one'smemory the policy of France for ages past. No ; it is impossible." Remember, these are not mere casual words, lost in the small talk of the columns of the iWoniteur. A statue has just been erected to M. Billault. Let me ask what is this statue, greeted by M. Rouher, but the monument of his official deeds stamped in bronze ? And can you imagine that .his can remain a lasting homage lavished on weaktiess and falsehood? M. Rouher himself last year, in his memorable speech to M. Thiers, declared the temporal and spiritual sove reignty at some co-existent, parallel, find ueeeg sary, and did not the Corps Legislatif itself declare, by a solemn declaration, the necessity of the tem poral power of the Pope ? And do you know what binds the Emperor still more firmly to abide by his words? It is this. He made this engagement before his own people, and he would not allow the intermeddling of any foreign Power, and this is proved by official documents. He said. openly to the world, "Do not trouble yourselves about the Pope (Je'u reponds); I will take that upon myself." Thus, the most sacred things, the faith of trea ties, the dignity and the solemn oath of France, the peace of the world, the independence of the Church, are to be given up to the vilest purposes ! Not only our own most precious interests, the security of our souls, and the independence of our consciences, we Frenchmen, but the two hundred thousand Catholics upon the globe—these are what you are ready to give up in spite of your own King's sig nature attached to a treaty ; these, I say, you are ready to give up to revolutionary despotism. Do you imagine that France has lost her word, her faith, her honour, and that she will allow you to dishonour her by sitting quietly by while you encourage, by your silence, so much infamy? Do you think she will let you make a pendant to the fall of Maximilian in the fall of Pius IX. ? Dethrone the Pope ; and, after you have thrown this prey before the passions of the Revolution, will they be satisfied? No, no. You yourself will be the next morsel that they will devour. I will not speak further of the distress of souls on all sides ; but I will ask you, will you not have to give account of your work in Italy, and have you nothing to fear from the just indignation of the Catholic world for the present condition of Italy, and nothing from the execration and disaffection which is coming on ? Besides, do not believe that the consequences of this great crime are merely religious. The Roman question is the European question. The very infidels begin to look about them and to see how true were our predictions. And to this we may add the great social question, which is ready to burst out at all the issues it finds unguarded. There a lightning flashes bright and clear enough to open the eyes of the blind. At the meeting of the Lausanne the words Provi dence and Gospel were branded and declared out of date I On the same occasion the collective posses sion of lands was discussed, and war was•declared between master and workman. At Geneva, to a man every one came to make a protest against monarchies in general, against religion and liberty of conscience, and there and then cries were loud for the closing of churches and barracks. "If you say that citizens are free, princes are de trop." And after the example of M. Sainte Beuve's sub lime code of new morality, they proclaimed there was no other " mode of establishing principle ' than by an universal revolution, a permanent organization af European socialism in order to establish this universal Republic —a Confederation of the different European Republics." This is the paramount idea which possesses Garibaldi, and for the crowning effect of the meeting, he, Garibaldi, was " hailed as a Christ," when, immediately touched and moved by the blas phemy, he threw himself into the arms of his " forerunner," Sainte Beuve (one of the disciples of the school of Renan) and declared "the Papacy a pestilence, and a plague spot. He demanded there and then, instead of the Catholic religion, a religion without ceremonies and without priests, and instead of the rule of sovereigns, the universal fraternity of the people." Let it be well remembered—lmpiety, Republi canism, Socialism, have coalesced. Garibaldi de clares war against the Pope as a blind to hide his aim taken against all monarchy. So now Kings are warned that the personal enemy of Pius IX. shakes hands with all their personal enemies. It was certain, and now it is clear, Garibaldi is but one of the mouthpieces of an infernal machine of twenty cannons, each directed against a throne. Behold, then, the situation in which you stand, and no artfulness or address—no compromise, no apathy, can change or mask it out. Never was duty more clearly marked than yours, and that of the King Victor Emmanuel, of whom you are the official adviser. You are in one of those situations which decide for ever on the hon our of a man. Everyone in Europe has heard of your Garibaldi and his reception at Geneva, and his principles are now openly known. This man has but one passion —the overthrow of the Pope and giving hands to Mazzini. You must choose, sir, between the tiara and the red shirt—between the Gospel and the religion of Garibaldi—between frightful demagogues and honest citizens—between the regular, measured, and glorious progress of Europe, and the wild overthrow dreamed of by those who would drive you to Rome. Which will you choose ? I have but one short word to add. Either your Government has or has not the power to arrest the enterprizes of a subaltern self-elected chief of rebel bands. You ought to do with him, when he threatens the Pope, just what you would do if your King were menaced. And there are two means of opposing this action. The one nobly, by certain, definite, and efficacious and strenuous measures the other waveringly, by deceitful appearances, hypocritically and not really. And what I charge you, in the name of re ligion and the Gospel—in the name of conscience and honour, of principle and justice—shall I not obtain it from you, as a man of honour, of loyalty, of intelligence, of boldness as a statesman, that you should stand up in the Chamber and promise, in the name of that King whom Garibaldi ranges among the despots to be dethroned—" France and England may rely on our word. We have no in tention ourselves, nor will we permit a hand to be raised against the Pope. Never, never." Civilized Europe expects this word from you. Revolution expects another. Choose I There is not an honest mind in Europe that does not see that Garibaldi and the Revolution cannot stir a foot if Italy does not allow them, and Italy can do nothing if France does not allow her. All the grotesque speeches of Geneva would die away driven by the mountain winds of Switzerland's free air, and the words of that man, who abuses with strange impunity the language he uses, would have no weight, were it not for the death-like silence which reigns around him. Receive my devoted and respectful homage. FELIX, Bishop of Orleans. MISCELLANEOUS NETVS. (From the Anglo-American Times.) THE SAVAGE MINING COMPANY OF VIRGINIA CITY, NA.—We have received the report of the President of this Company, from which we condense the following :—lt shows the gross product during the year of the enormous sum of $3,000,000 in bullion, and dividends to the amount of $1,400 per foot. In the twelve months the mine has returned a clear profit of $1,120,000 in specie to its owners, leaving a balance of $149,201 in the Treasury. The gross product of the mine up to the 10th of July last, was $6,515,378. The dividends for the past year have been equal to an interest of 10 per cent. on a par value of $14,000 per foot or share of the mine. Litigation has cost the company during the year $lOO,OOO, but no more trouble is apprehended from this source. There have been extracted from the mine during the year 70,721 tons of ore of all classes. Of this and 1,574 tons on hand July Ist, 1866, there have been reduced 69,430 tons. These yielded $2,914,161 37, being at the rate of $ll 97 per ton, and there remain on hand at the mine and mill 2,865 tons to be carried over to next year. The total cost of production, including litigation, taxes, purchases of land, &c., has been $559,581 52, $7 91 per ton, and the total cost of reduction has been $974,333 23, or $l4 04 per ton, which gives as the cost of mining and milling per ton $2l 95. The cost of production, excluding taxes, legal expenses, &e., was $6 66 per ton. The reserves of ore "in sight" have by careful calcula tion been estimated at 100,000 tons. The following items are from the Wall-street Journal : The Memphis and Ohio Railroad, from Memphis to Clarksville, 130 miles, has been leased to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company (James Guthrie, owner,) for a term of ten years, with a provision looking to ultimate comelidatien. The immediate ocetteiou lox this waa the threatened seizure of the road by Governor Brownlow for delinquency in meeting the interest on bonds for which the State is responsible. The grading of the line of the Boston, Hartford, and Erie Railroad, between East Thomson and Mechanics ville, is completed, and the cars can soon be run to that point, and probably Will soon run to Putnam, eitkor on the Norwich and Winchester Road, or on a track to be com pleted by the Boston, Hartford, and Erie Company. The Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad Company, lowa and Minnesota division, had only seven miles of track to lay on September 30th to complete the line, 222 miles, from M'Gregor to St. Paul. The line will be open for traffic on October 15th, when freight and passengers can pass without change of cars, from lsre w.York to Min neapolis, St. Paul and St. Cloud, Minnesota. Contracts have been taken at St. Louis and Memphis for building the long-projected railroad between those points, and work is to be commenced immediately by the construction of a levee about 25 miles above Mem phis, for which the present low stage of water presents a favourable opportunity. THE WHITEHALL AND PLATTSBURGII RAILROAD. —Ground for this road was broken at Plattsburgh on October Ist amid great enthusiasm. A large concourse of citizens were present, and spirited addresses were made by Hon. John A. Griswold, of Troy; Hons. T. Hoyle and N. Lapham, Senator Platt, and others. The St. John (N. B.) Telegraph reports that contracts have been concluded for the construction of the whole 88 miles of the International Railroad between St. John and the Maine boundary. About 600 men are em ployed ou this portion of tho line. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company are straightening their line between the Relay House and Baltimore, so as to avoid that long double curve that winds around by the brickyards, near the Spring Gardens, and turning northward again crosses Gwynn's Falls, at the Carrollton viaduct. The distance gained by this opera tion will be nearly two miles, and the time gained as well, by shorter distance as straighter line, will be some thirty minutes. The road is nearly completed, and will be in working order in November, when the time between Bal- timore and Washington will bo reduced to sixty minutes. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company have projected the extension of their branch from Harper's Ferry to Winchester down the Shenandoah Valley, cross ing the Virginia Central a few miles east of Staunton, and terminating at Salem on the Virginia and Tennessee Rail road. It will open up a region of country to which access is now possible only by most fatiguing staging, for the stages of this section are fearfully and wonderfully made. It will also open a market to the crops of the valley, and the yield of the Valley of the Shenandoah, even under the ancient style of farming in use there, is remarkable. A movement has been started at Detroit with a view to connect the Detroit and Milwaukee and the Southern Railroad depots with the Central and Grand Trunk depots by means of a track along the river front. The Dubuque and Sioux City Railroad has been leased to the Illinois Central Company. The following were on October 2d elected direc- tors of the Union Pacific Railroad Company on the part of the stockholders for the ensuing year :—T. C. Durant, New York; C. S. Bushnell, Connecticut; John J. Cisco, New York ; H. S. M'Comb, Delaware ; Oliver Ames, Mas sachusetts ; John Duff, Massachusetts ; Josiah Bardwell, Massachusetts; Sidney Dillon, New York; William H. Macy, New York; John F. Tracy, Illinois; E. Cook, Iowa; John B. Alley, Massachusetts; Win. F. Gliddon, Massachusetts ; F. Gordon Dexter, Massachusetts ; Ben jamin E. Bates, Massachusetts. The remaining five direc tors on the part of the Government are appointed by the President of the United States. The election of directors of the Erie Railroad Company, on October 8, resulted in the following choice;-- Josiah Bardwoll, Boston ; John S. Eldridge, Boston, Pre sident of the Boston, Hartford, and Erie Railroad; Eben D. Jordan, Boston ; Henry Thompson, Boston ; James S. Whitney, Boston; J. C. Bancroft Davis, New York; Alexander S. Diven, New York ; James Fisk, jun., New York; Jay Gould, New York; George M. Gions, New York ; Frederick A. Lane, New York ; William B. Skid more, :New York; Frank Work, New York; William Evans, London ; Dudley S. Gregory, Jersey City ; Homer Ramsdell, Newburgh ; and Levi Underwood, Vermont. [Of the old direction.] The directors have elected Mr. John S. Eldridge President, and re-elected Mr. A. S. Divon, Vice-President. Since the election Mr. Levi Underwood has resigned under an ar rangement with Mr. Daniel Drew, and the latter has been chosen to fill the vacancy, and to be the Treasurer of the Company. The following is the unsuc cessful ticket:—Robert H. Bordell (late President), Alex ander S. Divon, Samuel Marsh, John Arnot, Ambrose B. Murray, If. L. Pierson, Daniel Drew, William B. Skidmore, Dudley S. Gregory, William Evans, J. 0. Bancroft Davis, D. A. Cushman, Thomas W. Gale, Isaac F. Phelps, and J. F. D. Lanier. The stockholders, of the Woodstock Railroad to White River Junction, thirteen miles, have instructed the directors to put, the road under contract and proceed with its construction as rapidly as possible. Two hundred and thirteen thousand dollars of the stock has been sub scribed, Hosea Doten appointed engineer, and the surveys are now in progress. The New York, Housatonic, and Northern Rail road has secured a loan of $1,000,000 from Lovell Hol brook and Francis A. Palmer, of New York, and its con struction, which has been suspended for several months, will be immediately resumed. All the property of the road is pledged as security for the loan. NEW RAILROAD PROTECTS.-NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—A meeting of citizens of Now York took place this evening at. the Coopet Institute, for the purpose of taking action in regard to the contemplated improvements in the means and cost of intercommunication through all parts of the Union by the establishment of a system of railways, constructed and managed with special reference to a re duction of cost in transportation and freight. Mr. Peter Cooper, Judge Daly, and other influential citizens, were present. Mr. Freeman Clark, of Rochester, presided, and Mr. S. P. Densmore acted as secretary. Letters approv ing the proposed project were read from Secretary Seward, Governor Fenton, A. Gans, President of the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce. Afterwards resolutions were adopted favouring the objects of the meeting, when the meeting adjourned.—Baltimore Commercial. Among the names of persons of Providence, Rhode island, taxed for $50,000 or more, aro Crawford. Allen for $155,600 ; John Cartor Brown, $1,757,100 ; Mary R. Burnside, $100,000; Alex. Duncan, wife, and children, $1,165,200 ; Robert 11. Ives, $1,414,000 ; Earl P. Mason, $587,000 ; Byron Sprague, heirs, and wife, $177,600; Jonah Steere, $502,000; and Marshall Woods and wife, $740,000. The Hon. Henry W. Williams, of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, the Republican candidate for Judge of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, was a graduate of Amherst College in 1837. The Springfield Republican says :—" Ex-Gover nor Gregory, having instigated a suit against Hiram Aikins, of Montpelier, for libel, the latter retorts on him that an indictment by a grand jury does not always break a man down, as the ex-Governor ought to know, for ho was once under arrest for bigamy in Massachusetts, held to bail, and his case carried before the grand jury.' " Simon A. Howe, son of the late Elias Howe, jun., will conduct the factory for sewing machines at Bridgeport, Connecticut. If the Springfield Republican is correct, and the following true, it is strange :—"John J. Conklin, the de faulting cashier of the National Bark at Now Milford, was arrested at Poughkeepsie, Now York, on the Bth October, but the bank refused to prosecute, and unless the United States authorities interfere ho will bo released. Conklin's personal property will secure the depositors from loss, and the directors of the bank are said to bo willing to restore him to his position, although its capital is impaired 15 per cent. by his rascality." Sir G. Bowen will succeed Sir George Grey as Governor of New Zealand. A few days ago, at Berlin, an American clown, called the Man-fly, was going through his part before 2,000 persons, when he took out a pistol, put it to his mouth, discharged it, and fell dead. Berezowski, who made the attempt upon the Em peror of Russia's life at Paris, and was sentenced to penal servitude for life, is on his way with other convicts to the French penal settlement of Saigon. General Butler has signified, in a letter to a friend, his refusal to become a candidate for the next Presidency. We think that the General has no cause to be distressed by the pressure or importunity likely to be brought to bear, and the prospect he surrenders ought not to give him more cause for distress. General Beauregard has applied for the restora tion of his estate, and the President and General Grant aro said to favour his application. _ _ The San Francisco Mining and Scientific Press gives an amusing account, which it heads "Politics, Hand-organs, and Orphans," which is illustrated in a late number of Frank Leslie. It appears that Michael Hayes had arranged with William S. Higgins that if Haight was successful iu the recent election that Higgins should carry a hand-organ along Montgomery-street, San Francisco, from Jackson to market, playing a tune before each of the principal hotels, and collecting contributions in Savoyade style, the proceeds to be equally divided between the Pro testant and Roman Catholic Orphan Asylums. if Gorham was elected, Hayes was to be the performer. The winner appeared to take an equal part in the performance, indeed in the end we believe Mr. Hayes' task proved the most ar duous. Higgins ground away at his organ, and Hayes made the collections, which were so bountifully given by the citizens, who had assembled in thousands to see the sport, that the winner staggered under the weight of silver accumulated in his tin box. Nono had an opportunity of . . judging of the merits of Mr. Higgins's organ, as the sound was drowned in the uproar of the people, which proved lucky for the performer, as ho had not informed himself of the manner of changing the tune, tho same old thing being repeated from one end of the street to the other. The or- Plutug appear to haYobOnalt9(449ot by thin "lark," 46 the regular performances were supplemented by an irregular proceeding got up ou the spur of the moment, by which six waggons were filled with provisions and goods of all kinds and despatched with the money to the two asylums. A man named Roffman murdered a woman from whom he had been divorced, in a church on Sunday, 13th Oct., at Canton, Ohio. The congregation were at worship when the ruffian advanced to Mrs. Just, who was about to kiss him, in compliance with his demand, when he stabbed her with a knife, inflicting eleven wounds, believed to be fatal. He was removed to gaol, where he lies in extreme peril of being lynched. Perhaps the most appropriate of all spots was selected by Rocky Moore,• of New York, and George Rooke, of Providence, for a prize fight, in which they engaged on the 2d of October, for $l,OOO aside. That spot was one of the Isle of Shoals, named Smutty Nose Island, on which Moore stood triumphant after 25 rounds, lasting one hour and four minutes. Judge Fisher and Mr. Bradley, late counsel for Surratt, have been reconciled ; but the matter must still go before the Bench, and out of the four judges it is believed that three at least will sustain the action of Judge Fisher in suspending Mr. Bradley from practising in the Criminal Court. • Ex-Governor H. V. Johnson, of Georgia, consi ders the Cotton Tax to bo unconstitutional, and is about to test the question in the Ct,urts. Bishop Thompson left San Francisco Oct. 9 for Nicaragua in the steamer America. The Maryland Republican State Convention as sembled at Baltimore on the 11th October, and made the following nominations :—For Governor, Judge Hugh Len nox Bond; Attorney-General, Hon. H. li. Goldsborough; Clerk of the Court of Appeals, Wm. L. W. Seabrook, Esq. ; Comptroller, Frederick Schley, Esq., of Frederick County ; Commissioner of Labour and Agriculture, Captain Jones, of St. Mary's county. The seat vacated by General Hayes, for the Second District of Ohio, will be filled, it is believed, by a Democrat, Mr. Cary. Mr. William H. Brady has publicly announced that he is authorised to receive subscriptions for Mrs. Abraham Lincoln. • General Lersundi will be appointed Captain- General of Cuba, and he is to leave very shortly to take possession of his post. M. A. de Stamis wrote an article reflecting on General Zappi, of the Pontifical army, in the La Rue, in terms of abuse so strong that Count de 0-, a relative of the General, called him to account, when tho parties met last Saturday, at Vincennes, with rapiers, and the C3unt was very seriously wounded. General Imboden has applied to the United States Court at Richmond for a mandamus to compel the registrars to record his name as a voter. He served with distinction in the Confederate Army, and is by law ex cluded from the register, but he claims under a full pardon from the President to be reinstated in his right to vote. He announces his intention to carry the case, which will be tried on this question, to the highest tribunal in case of defeat. The Hon. Ben. F. Wade's term in the Senate expires on the 4th March, 1869. It is thought that his successor will be George H. Pendleton. Bills of indictment for treason and treasonable conspiracy have been found by the grand juries in Dublin against Gen. Octave Louis Fariola, Gen. Wm. Halpin, Gen. William Nagle, Col. John Warren, Augustine E. Costello, William C. Nugent, Patrick Nugent, Daniel Lee, Denis O'Connor, Robert Kelly, Thomas Frewham, Frederick Fitzgibbon, Patrick Kane, John Rooney, Michael Fitz. gerald, Michael J. Greene, William Sheehan, John Harley, Laurence Doyle, Arthur Dowling, Jeremiah Murray, James Lawless, John• Cado, Patrick Cogan, Michael Walsh, Patrick Toche, J. Fitzsimons, and Andrew Leonard. Mr. Scallan is employed as solicitor for two American colonels, and Mr. John Lawless for General Fariola. Among the departures ly the North German Lloyd's steamship Deutschland, from Southampton to Now York, on Tuesday evening, were the Hon. Elisha and Mrs. Dyer and two sons. Mr. Howard Bullingbroke, Mr. F. and Mrs:rime, Mr. Thomas S co tt an d f am il y, Mr. R. Slark and ra'mily, Mr. James L. Glentworth, Mr. J. Adams and family, Mr. W. H. Wobb (builder of the Dunderberg, re cently purchased by tho French Government), Baron d'Eschwego, Baron do Dessal, the Right Rev. Bishop of Alton, Mrs. Hamilton Glentworth, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Godberry, Miss Mathilda Weguelin, and eight Sisters of Mercy. The Court of Arches on Tuesday heard the charge against the Rev. A. IL Mackonochie for ritualistic practises at St. Albans, Holborn. The constitution of the Court was objected to by Mr. James for the defendant, on the supposed partisanship either of Dr. Travers Twiss or Dr. Robertson, whom Sir,R. Phillmore, formerly a counsel in the case, appointed to act for him, on being elevated to the post of Dean of Arches. Both parties would prefer him to try the case. It has been adjourned for a fort night, and it is understood a prohibition will in the moan time be applied for in the Queen's Bench. Treasurer Spinner, in his report to the Secretary of the Treasury, says that the sensation statements relative to abstractions or over-issues of coup . ons, bonds, and other securities, aro without foundation in fact; but what about the duplicate 7-30's? Mr. Spinner is probably now pain fully aware that the reports which have been so freely circulated about bogus bonds, have some foundation. The Queen has been pleased to approve of Mr. T. N. Molloy as Consul at St. John, Newfoundland, for the United States of America. Kossuth's second son has been elected member of the Lower House of the Diet for Klausenburg by a large majority.
