Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. - - " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with, no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

They are in valuable, and I strongly recommend them to persons suffer ing from a tough or cold on the chest. Pray make any use of this you please if worth your while.

She may not have the least intention to use this force for any aggressive purpose. Up 'to this time she has only used it to break up Austria and make herself the arbiter of events in Italy. ,Mr. Cobden would denounce us having some private in terest in getting up a French war if we were to encourage the idea that atrartny of 600,000 French men could be of half ,as much consequence to Lon don as a flock of GOO sheep upon the downs behind Dover. and captai ns , tanEdningthrms,en.

Will Mr. Cobden just pass over in his ruled what the topics orindignation would be whi c h h t; would feel bound to use in such a ease ? We do not mean the mere topics of expense. Would he not say —nay, has he not said, that it would be impossible to maintain such a force and remain at peace? Has he not, speaking by the mouths of his political friends, already objected this to our Rifle Force— that it must create a military spirit in the country and tend to produce war ? Would he not say that such a display of force upon. our part as that which France has now made would justify the Emperor of the French in any suspicions and in any prepara tions ? Four hundred thousand men would be, according to the proportion of population, the equi valent as a garrison for these islands to the num bers now maintained for the defence of France. If 600,000 are necessary or harmless in France, the 400,000 would not be too much for England. If 400,000 would be utterly absurd in England, except for purposes of aggression; 600,000 must be a some what suspicious number for France to suppcirt while she has not an enemy upon her frontiers, or a neighbour of whose intentions she can'even affect to be uncertain. -- We- ask-Mr.- Cobden-to- tell-us frankly whether, if our Government were to- make any levies at alb...proportionate to those we ha . ve just shown in .their • official description, he would not say that they were a threat of war to France, and not otilrinstified but necessitated on the part of the French Emperor a- similar increase of force and preparation for hostility ? Mr. Cobden is too candid a man not to admit that ho would take this course, and that he would say all this with great energy, and perhaps with not a little acerbity. Is it, then, impossible for him to believe that it is just possible some Englishman may honestly and even reasonably think they see the same danger to peace in the exaggeration of French armaments which Mr. Cobden would cer tainly see in the exaggeration of English arma ments ? Why is it that politicians are gratifying only their " caprices and passions" when they think it is reasonable to guard against the presence of a vast host within a few hours' railway of the 'cliffs opposite to Dover, while Mr. Cobden would 'only be defending " the legitimate interests of an indus trious people" if he Should denounce the inflamma tory tendencies of an English army ? We should be sorry to say anything that would call forth the wrath and scorn of Mr. Cobden, especially while he is engaged in the vexatious task of teaching the Chambers of Commerce of Leicester and Liverpool what his Treaty of Commerce is and what it is not, and why it is not a commercial treaty, "but a simultaneous movement on the part of the two countries in the direction of general freedom of trade ;" but we would beg him to consider whether, while he is exulting over the peace power of his French Treaty, he could not bring his mind to imagine that there may be something more than a " shadowy " interest to us in those 600,000 men so close to us, and that statesmen may advise mo derate and prudent precautions against these too numerous friends without being actuated only by " a reluctance to accept the new order of thingb!."

The Monarch is anxious to be acquainted with the wishes of our country. Let us raise our voice in common with our countrymen. We trust that you will listen to us, and will sincerely join with them for the com mon good. It is the only true way to improve our condition. He who is wise will see that by these means and no other can the good of our country be attained. Prove yourselves men, and God will be with you." consent to cede voluntarily to the usurpers the pro. viuces which they have usurped from our Pontifica' domain. They were carrying their unheard of impious audacity to demanding that the Apostolic See, which ever was and ever shall be the rampart of truth and justice, should sanction the principle that that which was unjustly and violently seized and stolen, should quietly pass into the honest possession of the iniquitous aggressors; and that we should con sent to the establishment of the false principle, that successful injustice should not prejudice the sanctity of right. Such .-a pretension is at variance with those solemn declarations which have just been enunciated in the great and illustrious Senate— ' That the Pontiff is above all the representative of moral force in human society." We could not; therefore, subscribe to the deeds of these despoil ing Vandols, without violating the basis of that moral discipline whose chief symbol and image on earth we are acknowledged to be. It is intelligible that they who are deceived by error or overcome by fear, should give counsels in conformity with the unjust views of the dis turbers of civil society, and it must be clearly understood that these troublers of social order will be content with nothing but the absolute an nihilation of all authority, and the destruction of all restraints of religion, morality, and justice. Unhappily for society, these subversive agents, however, have already succeeded, by their words and deeds in perverting men's minds, in weaken ing the moral sense, and effacing all hatred of in justice. They direct all their efforts to persuade their dupes that the rights invoked by honest men are but unjust demands which deserved to be denounced. Alas, it is but too true ! " The earth mourneth and- fadeth away, the world long wisheth and facieth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant." But in the depth of this profound obscurity which God has permitted for his inscrutable purposes, weturn with confiding hope towards the Father of all mercies for consolation in our sorrows and adversity. - It is He, venerable brethren, who has spread amongst you that spirit of concord and humanity which increases every day amongst you ; so that, closely and unanimously united with us, you are bound up with us,, resolutely resigned to suffer with us the fate which the secret designs of Pro vidence have reserved for us. The holy prelates of the Christian universe, who preach the glad tidings of faith and hope to the worldhoint out to people the path which they should follow in this darkness, and inspire the Catholic nations with that sentiment of equity which enables them to form a clear judg ment on our sovereign right. This admirable con currence of prayers amongst the Catholic nations, these significant proofs of love, so unanimously shown to us in such different forms (which was never seen in previous ages), clearly,.prove to those of the right mind how needful it is to turn con stantly to the throne of the blessed Prince of the Apostles the light of the universe, which has ever preached the dogma of truth, and which will never cease until the end'of time to teach the immutable principles of eternal justice. So utterly untrue is it that the people of Italy have abstained from these striking testimonies of love and filial respect for the Apostolic See, that hundreds of thousands of them daily send .us letters full of affectionate respect not to counsel the reconciliation which has been de. manded, but to sympathise with us in our suffer ings, and to express their horror of the criminal and sacrilegious spoliation of our temporal posses sions. Under these circumstances we hereby declare, openly and loudly, that nothing shall ever induce us to consent' to this reconciliation, and we make this solemn declaration before God and man. How ever, since we are appointed to the functions here on earth of Hithwh's!‘ perished for sinners, and to pray for their forgiveness, we know how to forgive those who hate us, „and to pray for them, that by the' help of Divine grace they may return to the right path, and thlis become entitled to the bene diction of Christ's Vicar upon earth. Therefore, with a full heart do we pray for them, and are disposed to forgive them and to bestow our bene diction upon them when they shall have returned to the right ,path ; but meantime we cannot con sent to remain passive the while, as those who are disregardful of human calamities ; we cannot but be deeply afflicted at the persecutions of those who suffer for the cause of justice. There fore, in deep sorrow, do we pray to God and fulfil our duty in instructing and condemning those who have been taught and condemned by our Holy Church, for such is the mandate which we have received from our Saviour Jesus Christ. Thus we refuse our consent to injustice, but when pardon is asked of us, we grant it freely. And that we may grant this pardon in a manner worthy of our holiness and of our pontifical title, we bend the knee before God, and hold in our em brace the triumphal banner of our Redeemer. We humbly supplicate Jesus Christ to inoculate us with his charity, that we may freely forgive, as He himself forgave His ei:emies, before giving up His soul to the hands of His Eternal Father. We earnestly beseech Him, that after the for giveness which He may giant in the darkness wherewith the earth is now overwhelmed, He may enlighten the souls of his enemies, that they may repent them of their horrible crimes, and that by the means of His infinite mercy He may bring back the lost sheep to His fold. Whatever be the inscrutable designs of Provi dence for the future, we implore Jesus Christ, in the name of His Church, that he may judge the cause of his Vicar, which is also the cause of His Church ; that he may defend it, and make it glo riously triumph against his foes ; we beseech Him to restore order and tranquillity to society, not so sorely troubled ; and that He may restore peace by the truth of justice, which can come from Him alone. There is but one God who can combat with us and for us, in the convulsions which have shaken Europe and the wide world to its centre ; and also those to whom are entrusted the arduous task of directing the destinies of nations. The remainder of this allocution is but a repe tition of the above tiresome tissue of maledictions, imprecations, and b lasphemous pretensions. He complains, that the Church of the Messiah has been despoiled by the" Revolution ;" that rulers and the ministers of religion have been expelled ; that churches have been sacked, and costly vessels of gold and silver, and goodly raiments, have been the prey of the revolutionary spoilers. STREET TRAMWAYS.-IMPORTANT PROSECUTION. The adjourned inquiry into the summons taken out by Mr. Alexander Beresford Hope against Mr. Train for breaking and injuring a certain road called Uxbridge-road was resumed yesterday before Air. Yardley, at Marylebone Police-court. Mr. Sleigh attended in support of the summons, and Mr. Rochfort Clarke for the defendant. On the previous occasion evidence was given by Mr. Hope, who stated that the tramway was a great nuisance and injurious to public vehicles and carriages, besides being a great hindrance to public traffic. His view was borne out by Mr. Stephen son, of Pall-mall, civil engineer. On the case being called on some discussion took place between the worthy magistrate, Mr. Sleigh, and Mr. Clarke, as to whether the infliction or no infliction of a fine 'would settle the question, when Mr. Sleigh said he thought it was to the interest of his client that so important a case should be adju dicated upon by his worship, and wished to have the case gone on with. The first witness called by the learned gentleman was— Thomas Clark, a cab proprietor of Mile-end, who said—l know the Uxbridge-road. I have driven over it. The tramway is a bad thing as regards horses and carriage traffic. lam sure it is an ob struction. Have seen the iron rails laid down. Drove over it in ray own horse and cab. It caused my horse to fall down. I had a fare going to Hyde Park. I got on it, and before I could get off it made my horse turn a complete somersault. This was at half-past nine at night. As an experienced person I think it an obstruction. By Mr. Clarke—l have not seen other obstruc tions than what I have mentioned. I have seen the rails. Mr. Yardley—l may tell you that I have seen the rails along the road, and have travelled backward and forward, and have also seen the carriages made for the line. Mr. Clarke—My question was connecte d with quite another object. (To witness) —Where was your horse when it fell ? Witness.—On its backside. (Laughter.) He fell just off the stones after getting from Hyde Park lie had got two or three yards off the stones. It is not usual for cab horses to fall. After a short discussion between the learned gentlemen and the magistrate, it was decided that ' is worship should give his decision next week. _ , ! MR. COBDEN AND THE FRENCH COM MERCIAL TREATY. The Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, who re cently passed votes of thanks to Mr. Cobden and Mr. Mallet for their management of the details of the treaty of commerce with France, have re ceived the following letters from those gentlemen, which were read at a special meeting of the Chamber yesterday : " Algiers, March 20, 1861. " Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of the resolu- tion of the Chamber of Commerce of Liverpool, bearing your signature its. president, _ thanking me for my exertions in arranging the commercial treaty with France. "I obierve with satisfaction the judicious reserve with which the Chamber abstains from committing itself to an approval of the general principle of commercial treaties. The arrangement lately entered into with the French Go vernment is not, in its old and exclusive sense, a commer cial treaty, but a simultaneous movement on the part of the two countries in the direction of general freedom of trade. Nor should the changes made in the French tariff be judged merely by the standard of abstract principle, but with a fair consideration for the opposition which the Government had to encounter in its first serious measure of commercial reform from an unbroken phalanx of monopolists, whose power can be more fully appreciated after the late demon strations of the Conservative party in the French Chambers. " The great feature of the recent commercial arrange ments, to my humble apprehension, is their tendency to limit the power of Governments to disturb the amicable relations of the two countries, by making their friendship depend, not on dynastic sympathies, or the alliance with any particular Ministry, but, to borrow the sentiment of Prince Napoleon, on the union of France with the great English people. " For the first time in the experience of living men, a lrrge part of the pOpulation of the two countries will be invested with the most powerful motives for keeping the peace. Old diplomatic rivalries may survive, to find nou rishment in topics of shadowy interest; and the relations of the two Governments may even be subjected to occa sional disquietude from the resentments of statesmen who live in the traditions of the past, and who will aocept with reluctance the new order of things. But I rejoice in the belief that the legitimate interests of an industrious people, rather than the caprices or passions of politicians, will, for the future, control the relations of my country with its great Continental neighbour. " Pray assure the members of the Chamber that I highly appreciate their approval of my services; and, begging you to accept my thanks for the cordial expressions contained in your letter enclosing the resolution, " I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, " RD. COBDEN. " W. J. Tomlinson, Esq., Chamber of Commerce, . Liverpool." " Board of Trade, March 22, 1861. " Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 2lit March,' enclosing a Copy of a vote of thanks to Mr. Cobden, Mr. Ogilvie, and myself, for our recent services in connexion with the commercial treaty with 'France, which was passed at the annual general meeting of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce. I must request that you will con vey to the Chamber my very beet thanks for the honour they have dene me, and assure them that I have received this resolution with much gratification. I have the honour to be, Sir, your very obedient servant, " LEWIS MALLET. " Robert Tronson, Esq., Secretary, Chamber of Commerce, Liverpool." (From the Times.) The last lesson which education teaches to a powerful and earnest mind is toleration. Such natures are almost necessarily tyrannical. They have no doubt as to their own convictions, and they cannot comprehend that any man can be honest and net think exactly as they do. They are the ultra bigots of every creed, and it is almost a hazard whether they are benefactors or curses to mankind. They are the materials from which are made conspicuous tyrants and great discoverers. They do violence sometimes upon principle, and ih spite, perhaps, of an instinctive kindliness of heart ; and they do right sometimes in scorn of conse quences and against opposition which would daunt all prudent men. Let us not for a moment be supposed to undervalue them, still less to wish that they were not. TLe world would be nothing with out them. It is their limited vision, their incapa city of seeing more than one side of a question, their absolute faith in themselves, which make them the great moral powers of their age. We must accept the inconveniences with the advantages. When they deny to others the honesty which they are conscious of in themselves, we must exercise towards them that charity it is not in their nature to extend to us. A mind like that of Calvin cannot and will not believe that a Papist can be really sincere in believing what he himself cannot believe. Claverhouse would never come to think that a Covenanter deserved mercy; our own Duke of Wellington had no notion of the scruples of even a civilian who disobeyed orders ; and Mr. Cobden is internally convinced that it is only from some base and sordid motive that any one can ever differ from him upon any question, political or financial. We do not complain—we must take him as he is. If an abuse is to be destroyed, or if an institution is to be overturned which has outgrown its utility, he is the most useful man of his time. If he hap pened, for instance, to take the right view of the matter, he would be invaluable in India to clear away the jungle of old jobs there. All we wish to premise is that, with his habit of attributing bad motives, he is not a pleasant antagonist for a quiet and discreet discussion. Still we will risk the rejoinder, and beg of Mr. Cobden to give a few minutes of his attention to a volume which has just been published in Paris under the name of the Annuaire Militaire for 1861. This instructive little book gives an account of the names, numbers, and stations of the regiments at present under arms in France and her dependencies. If we could induce Mr. Cobden to read this work in an impartial spirit, we would ask him to imagine that, instead of reading the Annuaire Militaire, he is reading "flares Army List for March, 1861. He must begin by realising the tremendous fact that the catalogue of this vast army contains 6,871 cap tains, which, at 100 men to a company, gives a total of 687,100 soldiers under arms. These nume rals get beyond the point at which numbers cease to convey any definite meaning to the mind. The impression produced by them is like that of an astronomical distance. All we know is that 687,100 men is a collection of many great hosts, and that they seem enough to swarm all over the world. Strengthened by discipline and rifled guns, and fed by well-organised Commissariats, they appear capable of conquering and eating up any country whereon they settle and subduing any country in which they obtain a footing. But, lest it should be supposed that these are only men upon paper, we have, duly detailed before us, the present sta tions and the names of all the divisions of this giant army. They read like the description of the host of Xerxes. They differ in origin, in race, in uniform, and in arms. There are the Spahis in their white burnouses, remnants of the old Turks who ruled the Arabs before the French went to Algeria; the Arabs of the original Zouave levies, when the vagabonds of many races of Algeria were swept into the recruiting officer's net and drilled into soldiers; the Zouaves of a later date, when the vagabonds of Paris and the kithiess outcasts of every country under Heaven were raked together and welded into, perhaps, the finest mass of soldiery which exists beyond these seas. There are the Chasseurs d'Afrique, baked in the desert, inured to hardship on the steeps of the Lesser Atlas, and mounted upon Arab horses, which combine the qualities of speed, endurance, and hai diners. There are also the conscripts, who come from every village in France, and who look like maidens when compared with the veterans of Africa, and the Zouaves who have carried their eagles in the Crimea, in Italy, in Africa, and in Syria. Alto gether, it is a varied and a wonderful army. Even its Staff is told off in numbers which would repre sent a force if placed in rank. There are ten Field- Marshals ; there are ninety-four Generals of Divi. sion on active service—enough to make a company ; there are 162 Generals of Brigade—a very respect able forlorn hope ; there are 1,370 Majors ; and, as we have already said, there is a real army of 6,871 Captains. It is a mammoth machine upon a mam moth scale. The cost must be tremendous, but as that cost is in a great measure contributed in kind by the people, the full amount is never brought out in figures. France is at peace, but this great host is not all in France. The country could not contain it. It is ever seeking some theatre of action away from home. Some of it is holding Borne' It is holding Rome against Democrats and Constitu tionalists and Papists, for whom it holds it no one knows, but it is holding Rome against every one except only France. Another part Is holding Syria and protecting the cedars of Lebanon. A large detachment is engaged in the conquest of Cochin China, where its most formidable antagonists appear to be th e mosquitoes, but where a French Minister the other day told the French Chamber that France having now put her foot, has no intention of with drawing it. All this, however, is the pouring forth of military force in the mere wantonness of afflu ence, or in the embar rassment of w ealth, It cannot TILE JEWS IN POLAND. The following is the circular of the Israelite Con sistory, published at Warsaw, March, 1861: " In the name of the Immortal God of Israel, and with the sanction of the most eminent members of our community. " To our brother Israelites, children of Poland. " Doubtless the intelligence of the events which have taken place during the last week has reached you, either verbally or through the newspapers. Though far away, no doubt you saw, like ourselves, who were eyewitnesses, the hand of Providence in these circumstances. God spake, and it was done. Let us, then, praise the Lord of the Universe, who has filled our breasts with the hope that the hour of liberty and of our deliverance from an oppressive yoke will ultimately arrive. " Thirty years have elapsed since 1831, during which more than 100 enactments respecting the Jews have been published by the Government, not one of which contained any alleviations of our suf ferings, but rather tended to increase our oppres sion. Of all who profess our religion throughout Europe, we are the only ones who groan under the barbarism of the Middle Ages. The number of Jewish taxes are innumerable, and our means of gaining a livelihood are more and more limited daily. "You are aware that during the reign of Alex ander I. of glorious memory we were granted equal rights with the rest of our countrymen, provided we shared in military conscription ; in that case all special taxes on us were to be removed, as, for in stance, the tax on meat (koszerne), and the humilia ting mode of levying the capitation, called tageetel, also all restrictions as to our residences in towns, and every function of our life. But since 1843 thou sands of our children have perished in the ranks of the army, and where is the liberty that was granted us ? The Government officials rule over us, treating us like slaves, and trampling us under foot like worms. " When, 15 years ago, an order was issued to change the Jewish 'dress, what means were em ployed to carry it out ? Old men were dragged along the streets like dogs, and there were no limits to the brutality of the police. None but vile men could carry out such barbarous orders, while men with conscience and good faith look at it with horror. Why were such atrocities unknown before 1831 ? Because before that time all offices were filled by virtuous men, who loved their country • and cared for the welfare of the people. The pre sent officials, with few exceptions, are degraded men, who neither love their country nor its people. " Nine years back the marshals of the nobility, in their anxiety for the good of their country, pre sented some plans of reform respecting us to the Government, which we had an opportunity of see ing, but they remained without effect. " When God called Alexander IL to the throne, a Sovereign known throughout Europe for the goodness of his heart and the kind interest he takes in the welfare of his people, we hoped light would shine upon us; but, alas ! the darkness is still nu ' broken, because our foes are surrounded by men who are as great enemies to Poland as themselves, and persecutors of the Jews, and who do not cease to blacken and calumniate us in the eyes of the monarchy. When at last we were called upon by the Emperor to express our demands for alleviation, and our petition reached the Monarch, the calum nies heaped upon us were still greater than have been known since the time of Haman. "Do not imagine, however, that no favourable opinion was produced in our defence. Several high-minded men in the Government, good Poles, loving without distinction all children of the coun try, raised their voices in our behalf; but it was like the voice in the desert, for they were out-num bered by the anti-patriotic clique. All these facts are well known to us who live on the spot. But this is not all ; bad faith was carried so far that no means were spared to create dissensions in the country in order to weaken its vital strength. En deavours were made by means of the press to raise the enmity of the gentry against the Jews, and through this to curtail our means of subsistence. To create disunion they did not hesitate to employ religious fanaticism ; thus three years ago on the eve of Doomsday, the excited Christian popula tion in the town of Turk ravaged the synagogue, tore the garments used for the ceremonies, and profaned our sanctuary. When the Jews ap pealed to the Government against this outrage, do you recollect the answer they received ? That in the new penal code no mention is made of Jewish tem ples. As long as Poland has existed no such abo mination was ever heard of. " Now look at the true spirit of the nation. "It scarcely began to breathe more freely, its priests in all the churches proclaimed love and brotherly feeling for us, acknowledging us as the children of the country we have inhabited during eight centuries. "Brother Israelites ! Be full of courage and manly feeling. Let us freely clasp the fraternal hand which is held out to us. We have seen the first men of the land side by side with our clergy, accompanying to their last homes the victims whoa e innocent blood flowed in the streets of our city; 100,000 men of every persuasion followed hand in hand, filled with the spirit of reconciliation. " When men of trust had to be chosen to form the honourable Council our Rabbi and several other Jews were among them. Who could have dreamed of this a short time back ? In our supposed enemies we found sincere friends. 'lt was not force, but my spirit that did it,' said God. God thus willed it, filling generous men with courage to speak for no, and silencing the enemies of Poland, who sowed enmity among her children.' "We implore you, brethren, that you will, in common and with zeal, show your gratitude to our fellow .countrymen, and aid them in all their noble exertions, for their good is our good. "Hasten to affix your names to the address which THE POPE'S ALLOCUTION. Venerable Brethren,—For a long time past we have been condemned to witness civil society torn asunder by the deplorable conflict between truth and error, vice and virtue. On one side are ranged the defenders of what they are pleased to call civilisation, and on the other side are those who combat for justice and our Holy Religion. The former demand that the Roman Pontiff should be reconciled and should compromise with what they choose to term civilisation, progress, and Liberalism. The other most justly insist that the inscrutable, immoveable principles of eternal j astice shall be maintained inviolable, and in all their integrity, that the healthful power of our divine religion shall be preserved in all its entirety; for by that alone is the glory of God exalted, that alone can bring an efficacious remedy for all the ills with which suffering hnmanity is afflicted. But the patrons of the civilisation of our time do not share these opinions, although they profess to be the true and sincere friends of religion. And we would fain have bell( veil in their professions, had not the sad and deplorable events now passing be fore our eyes have convinced us of their falsity. There exists on this earth but one true religion, made and instituted by our Saviour Jesus Christ, the fruitful mother and protectress of every virtue, the bitter enemy of vice, the liberator of souls, leading them in the paths of eternal felicity—and this is the Holy Catholic Apostolic Roman religion. In our consistorial allocution of November, 1854, we have clearly declared our opinion of those who dwell beyond this arch of salvation, and we hereby confirm all that we then said on this subject. Already we have asked those who urge us for re ligion's sake to grasp the hand NN hich has been proffered to us by modern civilisation, whether their deeds are such as could justify Christ's Vicar on earth,—he who has been appointed from on High to preserve the celestial purity of religion, and to cherish the lambs and sheep in that doctrine, —in making such an alliance without great danger to his conscience, and serious scandal to all, — whether he could consent to be reconciled with that modern society whose work has produced so many evils, which can never be sufficiently deplored, which has promulgated so many detestable opin ions and principles, and error utterly at variance with the doctrines of the Catholic faith. You are already aware how at Naples and else where the most solemn conventions between Sovereigns and the Apostolic See have been torn asunder. In this assembly, venerable brethren, we again protest against such attacks and violations and exclaim against them with all our energy. This modern civilisation, whilst in some places professing to favour the Catholic faith, does not hesitate to employ infidels in public functions. It interdicts children from attendance at Catholic schools ; it stirs up hatred against religious families and institutions founded for the cultivation of the Catholic religion, against pious and learned eccle siastics, too many of whom are now groaning either in exile, in dungeons, or in fetters; also against such faithful laics as have defended warmly the cause of justice and religion. This civilisation which gives subsidies to Catholic institutions with one hand, with the other robs the Catholic Church of its inalienable and most sacred possessions. It bestows all its care on the destruction of the salu tary efficacy of the Church. And whilat•granting unrestrained license to those writings which, vent their virulence against the Church herself, it shows strange prudence and moderation in reprimanding and putting down those who publish honest truths; it preserves all its severity for those when they overstep, however slightly, the bounds of mode ration. Under such circumstances, how can the Pontiff bestow his hand upon modern civilisation, or ester into any compact with it! We must not take away from words their just signification, and the Holy Church will ever be faithful to her principles. She has ever been the patron and protectress of fair civilisation ; and all the memorials of history testify and eloquently prove that, in all ages, and at all times, she has carried it and planted it in the uttermost corners of the most savage lands. But since, under the guise of civilisation, an attempt is now being made to weaken and undermine the Church of Christ, assuredly with such a civilisation the Holy Church will enter into no league or covenant, for, as has been truly said by the Apostle, in his epistle to the Corinthians : •—" For what fel lowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness ? and what communion hath light with darkness ? and what concord hath Christ with Belied ?" What, then, is the purity of those perturbators, those acolytes of sedition, when they talk so loudly ! of their vain efforts to induce the Pontiff to enter into an alliance with them? How can he who derives all his power from the principles of eternal! justice—how can he ever absolve his curse by con senting to a bargain by which the Holy Faith, should be wrecked, and Italy should fall into misery, and lose the glory 'which for eleven centuries has been reflected upon her from the centre of the Holy See and the Catholic Faith ? It cannot be objected that we have refused to listen to the demands for a, more liberal civil administration. Without going back into history, let us cast a glance at our present epoch, so fruitful in misery. Never did Italy rejoice in such liberal institutions as have been granted to her by her legitimate Princes, and such in our paternal heart did we desire for our children. We granted them all possible concessions, limited only by the ordinary law of prudence, in order that the gift of our paternal heart to our offspring might not be infected with poison by the work of perverts. What was the result ? From our concessions came forth a fearful licence, and the steps of the Parlia' went, where her own Ministers and Deputies were assembled, were stained with human blood shed by an impious hand. If in recent times counsels have been given to us with respect to our civil administration, you are aware, venerable brethren, that we have accepted them, and acted upon them, rejecting only those which did not regard civil administration, but which had reference only to a demand for our sanction to the spoliation of our possessions, which had already been consummated. But it were needless to talk of counsels cheerfully received, and our sincere promises to carry them into execution, when the authors of these very usurpations loudly proclaim that they do not want reforms, but absolute revolt and the abolition of our temporal legitimate sove reignty. It is not the people who have raised any clamour, but the authors of these usurpations. To them we might apply the words of the venerable Bede, respecting the Scribes and Pharisees, enemies of ChOst—" Non thee aliquis di turbi, sed Pharistei calumniabantur, et Scribue, sicut Evangelista. tee tantur." But the attack on the Roman Pontificate is not confined to the abolition of its legitimate temporal sovereignty, it aims at the destruction of the health breathing virtue of the Catholic religion and were such a thing within the range of possibility, that it should for ever disappear from the fa& of the earth ; not only does it aim at an assault upon God's own work—at the fruit of the redemption, but also at that sacred heritage which we inherited from the ineffable sacrifice on Golgotha. The truth of this statement is abundantly proven, not only by deeds already consummated, but by f ac t s , un h app ily now of every day occurrence. In Italy, how many dioceses do we see defrauded of their bishops by these disciples of modern civilisation, who leave so many Christian populations without pastors, and have seized upon their property and devoted it to the vilest use ? How many prelate s are now groan ing in exile ? How many apostates—in the an guish of our heartdo we say it —are now preaching not in the name of God, but in the name of Satan, and, glorying in the impunity acquired by a fatal system of Government, have disturbed the public conscience, driven the feeble - hearted into sin ; have hardened, in their s hameful doct r i nes , have already fallen, and have torn asunder Christ's garments , daring impiously call th em , an d other in e g even to set u p " na ti ona l churches," iniquities of a like nature. And having thus in sulted religion, while they hypocritically invite us to compromise with modern civilisation, they have the audacity and hypocrisy to exho r t us to be re conciled with Italy. And that, th en , h av i ng u tt e rly. despoiled us of our temporal sovereignty, we should keep up our dignity as Sovereign and Pon tiff upon the eleemosynary Offerings of the chil dren of the Catholic Church which are lovingly sent to us ; and that we should become, through theii artifices, objects of envy and hatred to them who ask us for conciliation, and that we should then piticE 4D . STAMPED, SD. GREAT SILK ROBBER}. A very extensive consignment of silk, stolen from St. Katherine's docks, London, the property of Baron Rothschild; has just been seized in Derby, under the following circumstances :—At a late hour on Tuesday evening in"last week two strangers went into the George Ibn, Station-street, near to the railway station, Derby, kept by Mr. Rowbottom. One of them attempted to, pass as a foreigner, and in broken English he asked the landlord to read a banknote for £lOO which he had in his possession, and tell him if it was genuine. The landlord told him it was a good one; but his suspicion being aroused, he sent his servant for a detective officer, and later in the 'evening. Inspector Fearn and De tective Vessey, of the Derby borough force, arrived at the George. The strangers, however, had left the house, but the officers met them at midnight on the platform at the railway station, waiting for the mail train to start to London. Fearn and Vessey intro duced themselves to the strangers in their usual agreeable way, and commenced asking them ques tions. The answers not being satisfactory, the offi cers desired to see the contents of their pockets. The strangers thought such a request most unreasonable, but the officers' curiosity was excited, and upon one of them they found three Bank of England £lOO notes and two sovereigns. The other one had only a halfpenny about him. Inspector Fearn asked them how they had become possessed of the notes, and after some hesitation they replied that they had'ob tained them in the, way of business from par ties in Derby. On' 'being further pressed they said they had received the notes in payment of silk they had sold to Newton and Co., of Derby. The officers then took them into custody, and on arriving at the Town-hall one of them gave the name of Debock, Slater-street, Spitalfields, London, silk merchant ; and the other Barker, No. 2, Hope street, Spitalfields, (brother-in-law to Debock). Fearn and Vessey the same even ing proceeded to Newton's mill, and there found about 10 cwt. of silk which had been delivered that day, and the police were further persuaded that some robbery had taken place. Mr. Newton, sen., said he had bought the silk of two men named Agg and Hunter, of London, Hunter being a dealer in silk, and keeping the Red Deer publichouse, Cambridge-heath, Bethnal-green ; and Agg also keeping a publichouse, the Clown, near to Sadler's Wells Theatre. On Wednesday morning Debock and Barker were brought before the Derby magis trates, and on the application of Mr. Hilton, head constable, they were remanded for a week. On Thursday afternoon Messrs. Hilton and Fearn pro ceeded to London and paid a visit to the public houses kept by Agg and Hunter. They were both at home, and the officers ascertained that they were also in the silk trade ; and from the answers they gave to certain questions put to them by the police the latter felt positive that something was wrong, and proceeded to the Leman-street police station, where they ascertained that 10 bales of silk had been missed from St. Katherine's Dock, but it had. not at that time been reported as a robbery. The officers then went to the St. Katherine's Dock and saw Mr. Munford, the superintendent of police at the dockyard, and it was then found that a great quantity of silk, the property of Baron Rothschild, had been stolen, and the number of trusses and the description exactly corresponded with those found at Newton's mill at Derby. Early on Friday morn ing Messrs. Hilton and Fearn paid a second visit to Agg and Hunter's publichouses, but both land lords had absconded and have not yet returned. They then went into Spitalfields, and found that Debock and Barker lived up a second story, and that one of them was a shoemaker by trade, and that on the Monday previous Pickford's van had fetched away 10 bales of silk from Barker's house. On Saturday Inspector Fearn and some of the Loudon police apprehended a man named Cane, in the employ of Mr. Drakeford, a silk dealer l on_ a charge of being concerned in the robbery. 1-P 1 turday evening the officers returned to _Derby. The silk at Mr. Newton's mill was sei zed , and taken into the possession of Mr. Hilton. A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE. —11l the year 1803,'M r.
