The Prince of WALES has certainly worked hard in Ireland, and if there be no royal, road to popula rity he has not slackeiled his efforts to arrive at the desired goal, and no one who has: followed the account of his doings in the Emerald Isle will re fuse to admit that he has done his best. The Prin cess has also fortunately been able to keep up during the fatigues of her visit, and her presence has added greatly to the charm and success of the royal pro gress. The excitement and enthusiasm which greeted the arrival of the illustrious guests are still maintained, and will flourish with unabated vigour untilthey take their departure. Even with all the appliances to aid, and the energy of the Prince and his friends, it seems astonishing to notice how much has been got through in the space of a few days. Scarcely a place of note or an object of interest will have been left unvisited during this brief but busy sojourn of the Heir Ap parent in the capital of Ireland, and wherever his steps have wandered alike has he been cordially re ceived and warmly welcomed. Lord Chief Justice WIIITESIDE made an animated speech dur ing the proceedings at Trinity. The Prince of WALES unveiled the statue of BURKE, which was expected to have been an interesting ceremony, but unfortunately the weather was most unfavourable, though it did not appear to spoil the affair so much as might have been expected. The Prince also visited the Catholic University, where he met with a good reception, and a brilliant com pany assembh dto do honour to the occasion. The professors and officials of the university appeared in their academic costumes, and the scene was altogether most brilliant and effective. The stu dents thronged the passages and halls, and cheered the Prince wherever he appeared. Fortunately the Spring Cattle Show of the Royal Dublin So ciety took place during the Royal stay in the city, 71 - _IF E BOAT SERVICES. —During the Storms of ii .41 the past year the National Lifeboat Lustitution con tributed to the saving of 1,086 lives from various ship wrecks and 85 vessels from destruction.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 23,, 1868. and of course, as in duty bound, his Royal Highness proceeded to inspect the animals. The crowds which assembled rendered it practically impossible, however, for the ostensible objects of importance to be considered at once, but still the affair must be looked upon as a great success, and it may rank iu its peculiar way:with the other incidents that have rendered the Royal visit so striking and eventful, and, on the whole, such as to surpass the most san guine anticipations. Count BISMARCK has not been very fortunate of late, but on the contrary he has met with several defeats, and altogether has an unpropitious time of it. It would seem as if the members of the North German Parliament were resolved not to allow themselves to be outwitted, and they are very right in their determination, for the only chance for Prussia in particular, and for Germany in general, lies in the firm demeanour of the representatives. At the sitting of yesterday a warm debate took place on the reintroduction by Government of the bill referring to the public debt of the Confederation. The Opposition brought in an amendment, which made individual officials responsible for the adminis trative shortcomings, and Count BISMARCK offered to this his most strenuous opposition ; but notwith standing his powerful efforts it was carried by one hundred and thirty-one votes to one hundred and fourteen. Not a very large majority, it is true, but still as significant, as in all probability the authorities never dreamed of failure when they brought the measure forward. The result of the victory was immediately seen, for Count BISMARCK withdrew the bill on behalf of the Presiding Power in agreement with the Federal Go vernment. Of course considerable disappointment is manifested by the official and semi-official quarters, and one journal goes so far as to say that the non adoption of the bill by the Parliament will entail a great deal of embarrassment on the Federal Govern ment in consequence of the agreement of the Bund being made conditional with the loan for the army and other matters. At any rate, BISMARCK has ample cause to be dissatified with this state of things, and, if he is not careful, he may press things too far and overshoot his mark still more than he has yet done. A movement seems to have taken place in the national mind that will not admit of retrogressive policy, and the statesmen who aim at success, and wish for a long continuance at their posts, must be alive to the necessity of the case, and meet the emergency, or they will have themselves to thank if the worst consequences ensue. Since so many sacrifices were made, and so much injury inflicted in the late war of Prussia against the German principalities, it is some consJlation at least to know that the establishment of the North German Parliament seems likely to be of service to the nation, and that more comprehensive measures are likely to be adopted than at first appeared likely, and certainly of a much more liberal ten dency than the Berlin Government demand or desire. Paris is still disturbed by rumours of war, and the Alloniteur du Soir publishes some comments on the existing state of things that are worthy of notice, and are significant as showing that the aspect of affairs is looked upon as serious by the authorities, and every effort is made, and all available opportunities seized on, to impress the public mind. "Happily," says the Moniteur, "the most alarming of the rumours are gradually subsiding." While the French Government neglects nothing that can be done to discourage these " bellicose aspirations," the other Cabinets understand that their duty urges upon them to exert their influence in favour of ideas of moderation and of equity." This sounds very true, but at the same time it may be shrewdly suspected that all is not so clear as the official journal seeks to make out that it is. When public opinion is satisfied, and the prospects of peace are promising, then we do not see and hear so much fuss made about the matter. We hope that before long certainty will take the place of doubt and hesitation, and that the serenity and calmness which are at present illusory at the best will have become certain and settled, so as to afford no reason for conjecture of evil and prognostications of mischief. In the House of Commons last evening some minor topics of considerable interest were brought under discussion. The great events of the future —the Budget and Mr. GLADSTONE'S Resolutions— prevented the introduction of larger subjects of debate ; but several small bills were advanced a stage. Mr. MONSELL, who moved the second read ing of the Burials (Ireland) Bill, afforded the mem bers an opportunity of exhibiting their professed tolerance and good intentions towards the sister country. The object of the bill is to remove the grievance under which Roman Catholics and Protestant Dissenters alike suffer in Ire land in not being permitted the services of their own ministers in parish burial grounds except by leave of the incumbent. It might ap pear, at first sight, that this restriction is merely a nominal one, and so it would doubtless prove in th e majority of instances, but there are cases in which party feeling runs high and prejudice is strong. It is not safe to trust a matter of the kind to individual feeling, and we find that there have been numerous refusals of such leave both to Catholics and Dissenters. The Bill only provides that the Ministers of all denominations shall be at liberty to officiate in the parochial burial grounds. It is sufficient proof that some measure of the sort is needed, since even in the House of Commons there were not wanting members who opposed the bill both in principle and practice, and on a division 51 voted against the second reading. However, it was carried by a majority of 23, so that the griev ance is, we hope, in a fair way of removal. Death should silence all contentions of sect and party, and the jealous guardianship of burial grounds on one hand, and the indignant resentment on the other, is certainly anything but consonant with natural good feeling or Christian kindness. Wo may be sure that the religion which needs such defences will not gain strength from them, and there could be no greater desecration of a pubic burial-ground than the introduction of anger, heartburnings, and mutual recriminations. Another semi-religious subject brought under notice last evening was Mr. HUGHES " Sunday Tradihg Bill, which, after the hon. member under taking to introduce a fresh clause 'or two, passed the second reading by 68 to 31. We hope that the House will take a little time to consider this mea sure before it goes through the final stages, since the matter is emphatically one in which hasty and ill-considered legislation will not only completely defeat itself, but will perhaps do a good deal of mischief by incensing and irritating the people. The good city of Turin i 3 ju3t now in the full enjoyment of a brief national holiday, and the occasion is one in which foreigners can heartily sympathise. The marriage of the Heir-Apparent to a throne is always a matter of some moment. So much must depend on the character and conduct of the bride, so wide must be her influence not only on the trade and industry of the capital, but on the social habits and manners, the domestic welfare of 1 1 the whole community, that it is impossible for the lookers on to view the scene witt indifference. Royalty has lost of late years muci of its direct authority, but it still retains its influence, and the example of the reigning lady will always have a powerful effect on thousands of her subjects. We have in England during thepresent century had not able instances of what a Court should be and what it should not be, and should the Italians owe as much to the womanly example cf the Princess MARGHERITA as the English do ID the domestic virtues of Queen VICTORIA the citizens of Turin have indeed good reason to rejoice. It is an openly acknowledged fact that th 3 Italian Court has suffered for want of a Soveregn lady, and we may hope that the want so gene rally felt .will now be worthily supplied. lhe Princess M ARGUE R ITA, if report speaks truly, is possessed not only of every external attraction, but of those feminine qualities which more nearly concern the happiness of all belongthg to her, and she has been educated not in the atmosphere of Court gaieties or splendours, but witt simplicity and retirement. The marriage of Prince HUMBERT is the more interesting from the melancholy termi nation of his former engagement. For the second time within a very few sears death has strode in to break the royal bond and prove himself stronger than Kings and Princes. In the one case the beautiful young bride elect became a mourner, in the other it was the Princess who, in all the pride of health and happiness, was suddenly called away from the brilliant prospects awaiting her. We need not imagine that the melancholy death of his first betrothed, however painful and startling to Prince HUMBERT, would leave lasting impressions on his mind, since the marriage was . entirely a matter of political arrangement, and it is doubtful if he had ever seen his intended bride. The Princess MARGIIERITA, on the contrary, is a countrywoman of his own, and tLe ties which bind them together will be strengthened by that community of association, and language, and feeling which will add so greatly to their chances of domestic happiness. They are both Italians, and Italy we may hope will be the centre of their ex pectations and their efforts. Before them stretches a promising and brilliant career, chequered no doubt by certain anxieties and difficulties, but what position is without them ? Let us hope that it may continue, as it was begun, amidst the love and blessings of their people, and that the festivities of yesterday may be the prelude to a happy, a pro sperous, and honourable reign.

A rumour was, in fact, current at Zoulla that their release bad already been effected. CORBESFORDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY, April 22. It is expected that M. Thiers will make a speech strongly in favour of peace, and demand a considerable reduction of the budget, to prove the sincerity of the Ministerial announcements in favour of peace. But I un derstand that the Ministers of War and Marine are resolved to resist all reduction of their respective budgets, though it is said Marshal Niel was at first prepared to give up the insignificant sum of £72,000. The Emperor and the Marshal are believed to be in perfect accord on this matter. The Liberte announces that a French journal, the Avenir, is about to be started at Luxembourg, in order to advo cate annexation to France. I sincerely trust that this is not true. If it be true, it shews that Napoleon has not yet abandoned an idea which, should he ever attempt to realise it, will be certain to lead to war. I mentioned in a former letter the quarrel between the two semi-official papers Etendard and Potpie, respecting the alleged despatch of M. Pinard asking the prefects to give publicity to M. Baroche's speech. The Patriedeclared that the despatch had been written; the Eteudard denied it, and they came to verbal blows. It now appears that, tech nically, the Etendard was right, but substantially the Patric. The Minister of the Interior wrote—not a de spatch, but a confidential note—of the purport describedby the Patrie. M. Pinard said : " I beg you to get this speech inserted in the journals of your department ; the final por tion especially merits publicity. It contains assurances of peace which it is useful to oppose to the rumours of war which the press has for some time persisted in spreading." For some days past the Emperor and the Empress have been suffering from colds,-and the Empress has had a sore throat. She has consulted the homceopathic Doctor Cabarus, whom Napoleon frequently calls in. No doubt they will recover before their visit to Orleans, which is ex pected to take place on the 9th May. It is hoped that the Emperor will make a speech then, though I am bound to add that nothing he is likely to say will produce much effect in tranquillising the people. The announcement in to-day's Moniteur is certainly not calculated to cause any such re sult. It reads quite as much like a challenge as a decla ration of peace. France virtually is told that peace de pends upon other Powers exercising their influence in favour of ideas of moderation and equity. There is to be a gay wedding here next week. Prince Achille Murat, cousin _of the Emperor, is to Marry the Princess Salome. The Prince is grandson of the gallant Murat, King of Naples, and son of Miss Fraser, whom his father, Napoleon Murat, married in 1827. The bride groom is 33 years of age. The bride is the sister of the Prince of Mongrelia. The Emperor gives his cousin £40,000, and the Prince an equal amount to his sister. The Emperor of Russia already pays the Princess £1,600 a year, and he will now make the amount £2,400. Thus the young couple will start with some £7,000 a year, which is almost poverty in their position of life, and in France. Marshal Oudinot, Duke of Reggio, is very ill, and all his family have been summoned to his bedside. This veteran was born in 1701; was Massena's aide-de-camp in the Portuguese campaign ; fought at Leipsic, Hanau, and Cracow, where he was wounded. He took command of a brigade in the African war in 1835, and conducted the famous siege of Rome in 1849. He was a member of the Assembly during the Republic, and protested so vehemently against the coup d'etat of 1851 that he was arrested, but was soon afterwards released. Since then he has lived in private. - - - Food is so dear now, and the unfavourable agricultural reports render the continuance of high prices so probable, that the discoverer of any new supply of edibles deserves the thanks which Burke offered to him who made two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before. The hippophagists have shewn what they can do, but they are quite outdone by certain Parisians who have discovered that the ,eggs of the cock chafer and white slugs are very good fare. There was a slug and cockchafer dinner a few days ago, at which fifty persons assisted. The piece de resistance was a great dish of 200 slugs, frittered with butter. The guests per formed the task of mastication with a solemn conscientious ness which sheaved how deeply they felt the obligation they were conferring upon their country. Austrian statesmen are certainly never likely to raise the cry " We've got no work to do." No sooner have they succeeded in pacifying one portion of the Kaiser's polyglot territory than there is trouble in another portion. llungary has been pacified by a separate Parliament and Administration, and has been flattered by the birth of a Hungarian-born princess at Buda-Pesth. Bohemia is now in a state of grumbling. The Czechs declare that they cannot bear any increase of taxation, and they are getting up an agitation against Dr. Brestl's scheme of finance. According to the North Eagerri Correspondence the Russian Government communicated to both the Prussian and Austrian Cabinets its intention to issue a decree for the extinction of Poland. Count Bismarck received the communication in a very friendly spirit. Baron Beust, having asked whether he was to consider the communica tion official, and receiving a negative reply, pointed out the gravity of the measure, and intimated that it might have been desirable before the Russian Govern. ment adopted such a resolution if it asked for the opinion of the others Powers who participated in the division of Poland. Baron Beust further added te thatn the G vi the ovw of thernmene t c f Vienna by n o means participad ie Russian Cabinet, viz., that the question was purely in ternal and did not concern other Powers. He would not discuss the question whether the Polish question was finally settled by the ukase referred to, but declared that, instead of following the example of Russia, Austria would satisfy the national aspirations of its Polish subjects as far as was compatible with the integrity of the empire. We have now details of the proposed reorganisation of the Austrian army. Every Austrian male subject having completed his 20th year is liable to serve five years in the active army, five in the reserve, and four in the landwehr; altogether fourteen years of military life ! In case of a general levy, every male from 18 to 40 may be called under arms whether lie has completed his term of service or not. The armed force consists of, first, the army of the country and the landwehr ; second, the general levy. Th e a rmy of the country is so arranged that to every i n . fantry regiment of the line is added an infantry regi ment of reserv e, and to every regiment of cavalry is added a squa dron of reserve. These reserves are alwa y s to be in the recruiting district to which they belong. Each year will see 100,000 men added to the army of the country. The excess of the troops not having accomplished the year of obligatory service forms a reserve of replacement, which, should hr, Emperor, and war th reaten, is called to arms by the Em p and divided among the army of the countr y and the landwehr. This contingent is estimated at 130,000 men. The regimen ts of reserve are placed upon a war footing at the same time as the regiments of the line, form with these last the front line of the and are not the o f operation. Even intendin g ecc lesiastics a f r ee from serv ice. The y ma y ob t ai n leave for pro secution of their studies , and when they becomepriest s they are atta ched to the arm y as paymasters or hospit a l acint of physical a tt en dants. Those persons who, on co, infi r mity, are incapable of serving inthe army, and those who for family reasons do not perform military service, are bound to pay a sum in proportion to their means for the benefit of army invalids. It is x pected that this new scheme will meet with much opposition e in Hungary. It is stated that the War Minister will ask immediately for a contingent of 94,000 men, of which Hungary will have to furnish 37,000. Everybody who knows anything of London is aware that Mr. Spurgeon's Tabernacle, as it is familiarly called, ranks among the wonders of the metropolis for its unsur passed power of absorbing the largest crowds. On Wednesday evening this vast building was densely packed in every nook and corner by an enthusiastic gathering anxious to hear a speech from Mr. Bright. By the time the business of the evening commenced, 7,000 persons had obtained admit tance, and even then there were 3,000 disappointed ones outside the gates. The meeting was pronounced by Mr. Bright to have been " beyond comparison the grandest public and political meeting he had ever attended and spoken at in any building in this country." The Reform agitation of 1866 witnessed a much larger gathering in the Agricultural Hall, Islington, but the very immensity of that meeting detracted from its imposing character, inas much as speakers from five or six different platforms were delivering addresses at the same time. At the Tabernacle, however, there was but one platform and one set of speakers, so that the united attention of the multitude was concentrated upon one point. When Mr. Bright, in parliamentary form, put the resolution approving of Mr. Gladstone's policy, there arose such a cry of " Aye " that, to quote the language of the Times report, " the meeting shouted as one man, and it was startled at the sound of its own voice." It appeared to shake the roof itself, and to make the walls ring again. The Advertiser, no great friend of Mr. Gladstone's, says that " such a scene as that on the outside, consequent on the crowd striving to get inside, was never in similar circumstances witnessed in this country. The demonstration was indeed so mighty, in its moral as well as in its numerical character, that we might also assume it would of itself be sufficient to seal the doom of the Irish Church, had its death-knell not been already sounded." The nomination for South Lincoln has been fixed for Wednesday next, when there will be no opposition to the return of Mr. Welby. The contest at Grantham will most likely take place on blouday, THE FENIAN TRIALS AT THE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-THIS DAY. One of the most noticeable features in connection with the trial of the six Fenian prisoners now arraigned for their lives in the dock of the Central Criminal Court is the careful, almost painful anxiety exhibited by the pre siding judges in the direction of the proceedings. Not even the counsel for the accused themselves have been more jealous of the introduction of irrelevant evidence, or evidence likely to tell unfairly against their clients, than from the first have been the Lord Chief Justice and Mr. Baron Bramwell. Not a single objection to the course pursued by the prosecution, taken by the pr'smers' advocates, however trivial, but has been allowed to be fully argued, and has then formed the subject of an earnest consultation between Six Alexander Cockburn and his learned colleague. The witnesses pre sented for examination, especially such as might be sup posed to be unduly biassed against the prisoners, or actuated by improper motives in the hope of re ward, as in the case of Mullany . and Vaughan, the approvers, have passed through a searching examination from the bench. Whatever may be the ver dict delivered by the jury at its close, not a voice will be raised to deny that during the progress of this great and prolonged State trial the strictest and most even-handed justice has been meted out between the Crown and the prisoners at the bar. having remained standing in the front of the dock until their lordships, ushered into court by the civic authorities, had taken their places on the bench, the accused, William Desmond, Timothy Desmond, Nicholas English, John O'Keefe, Michael Barrett, and Ann Justice, were allowed, as on previous days, to be seated, and assumed an attitude of expectancy which plainly indicated with what anxiety and curiosity they anticipated the decision of the Lord Chief Justice as to the admission or rejection of the piece of evidence in reference to the discovery of an enclosure in one of the parcels of clothes conveyed into the House of Detention for Burke by Mrs. Barry, objected to yesterday by Mr. Baker Greene. The intimation conveyed by the Lord Chief Justice to the learned Attorne3i-deneral this Morning was, that he most exercise his own discretion in dealing with the matter. In the meantime, at the request of the counsel for the defence, a man named John Davis was produced for the prosecu tion, who stated that, being in the vicinity of the prison on the 13th of December, he saw the barrel with a squib in it on the pavement, and a man, who, after doing some thing to it, ran away, the witness not having seen his face. The Attorney-General then called James Thompson, an inspector in the detective police force, who arrested Burke on the 20th November, 1867*, and searched him. At this point a long discussion as to the admission of the evidence ensued. The objection was, however, overruled, and In spector Thompson proceeded to say that he found on Burke a small glass howl containing some substance which was submitted for examination to Dr. (Ming. Th e bowl had since been returned to Burke. In answer to Mr. Straight, the witness stated that on the afternoon of the explosion he was at the House of De- tention, with a witness, in a cab, and there saw Timothy Desmond and Ann Justice, the former of whom came and looked into the cab. When the explosion took place, wit. ness, who was on his way from the prison, jumped out of the cab and hastened back, but saw nothing of Timothy Desmond then. By Mr. Baron Bramwell : Should say that Timothy Desmond would not have been able to leave the place where he left him opposite the prison and reach the spot where the barrel was by the time the explosion took place. The warder James Cape, the witness whose evidence was objected to yesterday, on being put into the box, de posed to finding in the toe of one of the stockings brought into the prison for Burke, four or five pieces of a clear green mineral substance, which were handed over to the chief warder. Believed that neither Burke nor Mrs. Barry knew that he had taken the pieces from the stocking. The chief warder John Moore proved that the last wit ness handed the mineral substance to him. Dr. Odling, having examined the bowl found on Burke, found it contained chloride of gold. Characters written with this would be practically invisible, but could be brought out by the application of copperas. Received some mineral substance from the chief warder, which on examination proved to be copperas. On the 4th January some staves were submitted to witness, who found that they had belonged to a barrel that had contained petro. kum. On some of them he found sulphate of potash, a product of an explosion of gunpowder. There were also some unexploded grains of gunpowder upon the staves. The warder John Moore was recalled to detail the cir. cumstances under which the prisoners in the House of Detention were exercised on the day of the explosion. For certain reasons the hour had been changed on that occasion. By Mr. Montague Williams : The prisoners were exercised some hours before Ann Justice visited the prison. Inspector Thompson was also recalled to furnish further evidence as to the arrest of Burke and Casey, and the war rants upon w 'aich they were committed to prison on the charge of trc anon-felony. James Set tt, a youth who was in charge of the houses injured by the explosion, found a white ball amongst the rubbish of the prison -wail blown down, which he handed to a police sergeant. Henry• Morris, apprentice to the informer Mullany, de posed to having seen a person named Brown at his master's house in Sherwood-street. Saw a person yesterday in prison who was the man whom he had known by the name of Brown. He was many times at Mullany's. Had also seen the prisoner English there. He came once or twice while Brown was there, and he believed they had some conversation together. They were in the same room together. About a month or six weeks before the explosion two persons, one called Hastings and the other Jackson, came to Mullany's. Identified Barrett as Jackson. The witness then described the circumstances under which a man named Patten, whose ear had been wounded, came to his master's shop after the explosion. The man named Jackson came in and was afterwards observed washing his neck. Witness saw that it was black. When Patten came into the shop first it was from the back room. When washing his neck Jackson had his coat and waistcoat off. At that time he had whiskers on his face. Did not see Jackson again until after he was in custody at the police-station. His whiskers were then shaved off, and he wore a different dress. Had seen Mrs. Barry at Mullany's soon after the arrest of Brown. By Mr. Keogh : Had seen Burke at Mullany's several times ; the last occasion was in the summer. Had seen English there with Burke, but would not swear that they were talking together. In answer to Mr. Baker Greene, the witness said Barrett, when at Mullany's, always went by the name of Jackson. When taken to identify him he knew a reward had been offered. Had not been told anything about Barrett': appearance before he went to the police-court. Could not say exactly at what time it was that the man Jackson came on the day referred to, but it was after the tea hour, which was about half-past four. We shall continue the report in our late Edition. When Sir Morton Peto applied to the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds, it appears that the right hon. gentleman entertained some doubts as to whether he could confer an office under the Crown on an uncertificated bankrupt. So he consulted the Attorney-General, who, however, saw no difficulty of the way of granting the application. The city is, therefore, now in the, midst of the excitement attending a contested election. In Bristol, as in East Kent, Grantham, and Cockermouth, the Irish Church is the test question of the day. Both candidates have issued addresses, and an active canvass of every ward is in progress. Mr. Miles promises, if elected, to give " the most determined opposition " to Mr. Gladstone's resolu tions, while at the same time admitting his willingness to do all in his power " to remedy proved defects and anoma lies." Mr. Morley, in his address, says : "I am convinced that the Irish people may be rendered loyal and prospe rous by measures framed in the spirit of justice and con ciliation. Religious equality must be established, as Mr. Gladstone proposes, not by the endowment, but rather by the disendowment of all religious denominations, with an equitable consideration for existing interests ; and with out prejudice to the rights of proprietorship, some mode must be sought for by which the occupiers may be more permanently connected with the land they cultivate." He goes on to say that he desires to abolish the " vexatious and useless " ratepaying clauses of the Reform Act, to obtain an enlarged scheme of redistribution of seats, and to give the electors the protection of the ballot. Mr. Morley is "in favour of entire freedom in religious opinions, and in the regulation of religious worship." He would abolish church rates, throw open the universi ties, give greater facilities for education, amend the law of bankruptcy, and generally give an independent but faithful support to the leaders of the Liberal party. It is said that Mr. Neate will not again come forward for the representation of the city of Oxford, as the hon. gentleman's Liberalism is looked upon as being of rather an eccentric character. The names of Dr. Adams, of St. John's College and Recorder of Birmingham, and Mr. Thorold Rogers, are mentioned as probable candidates. It is understood that Mr. Rogers wishes to be returned in order to test the right of the House of Commons to exclude a clergyman from that assembly. Mr. Cardwell's return is considered certain under any circumstances. A new fashion is announced in Paris. Ladies carry their parasol-umbrellas—we believe the tech nical name for the implement is an en-tout-cas— hitched to their sides like swords ; which confers on them—especially if they wear hats and plumes, and high boots with high heels, a decidedly' military appearance. Tart , . HER MAJESTY. OSBORNE, April 22. The Queen, accompanied by their Royal High nesses Princess Christian and Princess Beatrice, drove out yesterday afternoon. Her Majesty, accompanied by Princess Louise and Princess Beatrice, walked in the grounds this morning. THE ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES ACY. The Select Committee appointed to inquire into and report upon the operation of the Act 14 and 15 Viet., c. 60 (the Ecclesiastical Titles Act), and so much of the Act 10 Geo. IV., c. 7 (the Roman Ca tholic Relief Act), as is contained in s. 24, have agreed to the following report : " Your committee have examined several wit nesses of high authority as to the legal effect of the Act and section in question, as to the extent to which they interfere with the Church discipline and religious freedom of her Majesty's Roman Catholic snbjects, and as to their general political and social operation. "Your committee find that, until the Act of 1851 was proposed, the Roman Catholics of Ireland seem to have disregarded the clause in the Act of 1829. No attempt had ever been made to enforce that clause, and a custom had gradually grown up which, without violating the letter of the Act of 1829, did distinctly recognise a certain status on the part of the Roman Catholic archbishops and bishops, and conduced to mutual good relations be tween them and the Executive Government. The Act of 1851 appears to have had the effect of inter fering to a serious extent with those good relations which had previously prevailed. " Your committee have received ample evidence to the effect that the government of the Roman Catholic Church is, under ordinary circumstances, conducted by means of Episcopal Hierarchies, con stituted by briefs or other documents emanating from the See of Rome, and that such Hierarchies have been so constituted in British America, Australia, India, and in other parts of the Empire ; and that the system of government by Vicars Apostolic, which had existed in England before the brief of 1850, was, iu the view of the Roman Catholics, in the nature of a provisional and less constitutional form of government, in which the jurisdiction was of a more arbitrary character, and local rights less clearly defined. The Roman Catholic clergy and laity of England had long sought to obtain from Rome that regular form of government which can only exist under a duly constituted Hierarchy ; and substantial reasons have been urged by the English Roman Catholics why they should have considered this change de 7 sirable. " Your committee are of opinion that the Act of 1851, which passed at a period of considerable ex citement, proceeded upon a misapprehension of what the brief of 1850 was intended to effect. The use of what are called territorial—that is diocesan —titles seems to be inseparable from the existence of a regular Ilierarchy in all Episcopal commu nions ; but it implies no greater claim to territoria 1 jurisdiction than the existence of Vicars Apostolic or ecclesiastical superiors under other names. In both cases persons within territory, or territory containing persons, are necessarily referred to in order to give certainty to the jurisdiction ; and in both cases the real question seems to be whether the jurisdiction claimed is of an external and coercive, or of a purely spiritual and voluntary kind; and your committee have ascertained by evidence that, whether exercised with, or exercised without, local designa dons, the claim made by the authorities of the Ro man Catholic Church in the United Kingdom relates only to the latter, that is to say, a spiritua and voluntary kind of jurisdiction. " Your committee are further of opinion that the Act of 1851, contrary to the professions under which it was introduced, would, if enforced, seri ously affect the rights of the Roman Catholic com munion in matters purely spiritual and voluntary, for it declares void and attaches the character of illegality to all acts and documents relating to the episcopal government of the Roman Catholic Church in these countries, which in evidence or otherwise may come under the cognisance of the teinpora courts, or be necessarily employed in the relations which exist between the Government and the Roman Catholic subjects of the realm. " And your committee cannot consider that to be a satisfactory state of the law, in which violation of an Act of Parliament on one side, and connivance at that violation on the other, seem to be essential conditions for the enjoyment of religious freedom, such violation of the law, as it appears to your com mittee from the evidence laid before them, being frequently an absolute necessity on the part of Roman Catholic prelates in the discharge of their purely spiritual functions. " In the foregoing remarks your committee more particularly refer to the Act of 1851, but the same principles appear to them to attach to the prohibi tion of the assumption of local designations in the section of the Act of 1829. " On these grounds your committee recommend the repeal both of the Act 14th and 15th of Vic toria, c. 60, and of s. 24 of the Act 10th of George IV., c. 7. " Your committee submit for the consideration of the house whether, for purposes of legal descrip tion, certain modes of designation applicable to Ro man Catholic bishops might not be adopted, where by some inconveniences which have been pointed out to the committee might be avoided. " Finally, upon a full review of the evidence , your committee are of opinion that the repeal of the Act and of the section referred to their conside ration, will in no way enable the Hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church to assume any civil or tem poral precedence or authority within the realm, or cause any detriment or inconvenience to the State, or to any class of her Majesty's subjects, while it would tend to allay the irritation and remove the sense of wrong which that legislation undoubtedly excited among the Roman Catholics of the United Kingdom. " August 2, 1867." Don Giacomo Margotti, director of the Turin journal Unita Cattolica, has collected and forwarde d to the Pope, since 1860, offerings in money to the amount of £120,000, without reckoning gifts in jewellery and precious objects. The Marquis of Huntly has had a narrow escape while boar-hunting near Moorshedabad. A tre mendous wild boar was speared, and the infuriated animal cut up one of the horses and seized the Nlarquis of Huntly by the foot, but without doing him any injury. The Prince Imperial is being accompanied on his tour by his great friend, the young son of Pr' Conneau, who aided Napoleon to escape from Haw , and who has lately been made a Senator. It arranged that young Conneau shall receive his first Communion with the Prince. This is now post' poned to May 5. The ex-King of Hanover has just bought an estate for £120,000. The health of the Empress Charlotte continues to improve in a manner that promises the best results for the future. But for certain fits of gloominesel which become less frequent from day to day, the Princess no longer feels the cruel affliction froni which she hes suffered. Sleep and appetite hav e returned, and with them the taste for study. rrii° Princess spends nearly the whole of the day in her room, and, except the royal family, receives no one. —The Nord.

TILE IMPEACHMENT OF PRESIDENT JOHNSON. WASHINGTON, April 22 (Evening). The Mir eachment trial was resumed to-day before the Senate. Mr. Boutwell, ono of the managers for the pro secution, replied to the arguments of the defence. In the course of a long speech he maintained that the evidence submitted by the prosecution had com pletely sustained the charges preferred. In conclu sion he strongly urged the conviction of President Johnson. LIVERPOOL, April 23. The Inman steamer City of Paris left New York on the 18th April for this port, with $15,000 spezie on freight. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, April 23. Club of the Left party sitting the The members belonging to the discussed yesterday in a special financial measures proposed by Dr. Brestel.l Herr Sturm proposed a resolutio n containing the following four points :-1. That the deficit ought to be covered by extraordinary measures. 2. The fol lowing are measures which would be unacceptable (a), The contracting of un red eetnable loans ; (b), the increase of the paper currency ; (c), the impo sition upon the State credito r s of a higher taxation as would be justified by the amount of quota of the public debt which has not been accepted by Hungary ; (d), the direct taxation of wages. 3. The financial measures—the amendment of which is however reserved—must in principle constitute the basis for effecting a balance of expenditure and revenue in the State Budget. 4. Should any of the financial measures proposed by the Govern ment be rejected by the House, other distinct re solutions in conformity with the above principles are to be submitted to the iteichsrfah for a solution of the financial question. An animated discussion ensued, after which Point No. 1 and Paragraphs A and B of . No. 2 were conceded. The discussion will be continued in the next sitting of the Club of the Left. INDIA.
