MAYERBEERS UNPUBLISHED WORKS The civil tribunal of the Seine has just given judgment in a verisingular case, which will no doubt be read with interest by all musical as well as non-musical readers. Borne time before his death the celebrated maestro Meyer beer accepted the libretto of an opera entitled the " Jeunesse de Gcethe," from a literary friend, one Blaze de Bury, which he promised he would set to music, and engaged that it should belproduced at one of the opera houses. A mass of correspondence took place relative to the subject, from which it appears that Meyerbeer eventually composed the music. and the only thing wanting was a theatre where the singers were of sufficient calibre to play the ram But at this epoch the illustrious maestro died, leaving a will in which he expressly ordered that all his unpublished works, with the exception of the Africaine, all his musical mems., papers, &c., should he placed in an iron chest, and, in the event of none of his children possessing a talent for musical composition, they should, after a reasonable period, be burnt. Meyerbeer appears to have had a deadly fear of his unpublished effusions falling into the hands of unskilful musicmongers and be so " improved "—as has been the misfortune of more than one genius —as to detract from his well won and well-merited fame. M. de Bury now demands from Meyerbeer's widow the partition of this unpublished opera, on the grounds of his right as collaborator, and the promise made to him by Meyerbeer himself. Madame Meyerbeer opposed the demand on the ground that she and her children did not desire to depart from the last will and testament of her husband. The court having taken a week to consider their judgment pronounced in favour of Madame Meyerbeer. THE FENIANS. The correspondent of the Standard reports renewed activity on the part of the Fenians on the other side of the Atlantic. A " congress" was about to be held at New York to decide whether the conspiracy was to be continued or abandoned. He says : " There are in this country already three societies of Fenians, beside a large number of skirmishers, who propose to organise a fourth. The leaders of these rival bands look upon each other with that power of distrust and jealousy for which Irishmen are pre-eminently distinguished. We endure a Fenian ' president,' Fenian head centre,' and Fenian central director'—each with his cohort of followers and friends, each claiming the right to the first position in the so-called ' brotherhood,' each with a plan for the overthrow of the British Empire and the extermination of the Sassenach. The strongest of these men is O'Neill, of whom I have given some account ; he is probably most earnest in pur pose, and best calculated to marshal Fenians to overt acts of violence. He, too, may justly pretend to a greater following among Fenians than any other principal party to the conspiracy; but were his rivals to combine against him he would probably be put down. The forth coming ' congress' will therefore not be altogether devoid of importance. As it is now well known, the single idea of O'Neill is that the battle of Fenianism is to be lost or won upon Canadian soil. All O'Neill's efforts are directed to an invasion of Canada, and he employs all his own ingenuity and that of his associates in devising means to transport Fenians from the interior to the frontier without prematurely exciting the attention of the American Government. He has given out that a way to do this has been found. In a letter to one O'Beirne, a Fenian in Washington, he says that ' the obstacle heretofore existing has been conquered. When the men are wanted they will be found on the spot.' O'Neill's tactics differ materially from those adopted by his prede cessors. O'Mahoney and Sweeny communicated with their supporters by means of circulars, in wl.ich the intended outrages were fully foreshadowed, lines of march described, proportions of the com pani( s from different States named, &c. Of course these circulars fell into the hands of the American authorities, and of other persons interested in suppressing Fenianism. But, with the exception of a single pamphlet, O'Neill has published nothing indicative of his real designs. He has verbally communicated his plans to the various `centres' who recognise his leadership, to that end seeking personal interviews with his adjutants. Since the Bth March last he has travelled more than 30,000 miles in order to bring about these personal con ferences. These facts are obtained from a perfectly trust worthy source. In the Dominion there is a partial renewal of excitement on the subject of the threatened Fenian in vasion. This is due to the revival of rumours of the gathering of a considerable number of Fenians at Ogdens burg, New York—a point directly opposite the important Canadian town of Prescott. The Government, not desiring to be caught unprepared, have sent orders to the various rendezvous of the volunteers, looking to thorough preparation for active service on the fron tier. The commissaries have been instructed to prepare rations; volunteers engaged in rifle practice have been called in ; at Toronto 2,000 volunteers have been sum moned to perform three weeks' service ; in Kingston, beside military preparations to repel invasion, the guard at the penitentiary has been doubled. Several Fenian convicts are confined in this prison. The Toronto Globe rretends to positive knowledge of an imminent attack. The Canadians will not be surprised, at any rate. They desire nothing so much as a chance to meet raiders from the States. They have been subjected not only to great personal annoyance, but to great pecuniary loss, on account of the threats of Fenians to invade the Dominion ; they wish to settle the matter definitely ; they think that the best way is to give the desperadoes such a reception as shall prevent any future movements across the frontier. In a political sense, I am not sure that a formidable Fenian invasion would not be the best thing possible for the Dominion. It would certainly unite the people." The Recordership of Leicester, vacant by the pro motion of Mr. Sergeant Hayes to the bench, has been given to Mr. C. G. Mereweather, of the Norfolk circuit. Advices from Cagliari state that the powder , magazine there has blown up. Several persons were killed and a considerable number injured. The cause of the dis aster is not known. The Bishop of Capetown has deferred his depar ture for another month. It is probable that the 30th September will be the day fixed by his lordship for his farewell services at St. Lawrence Church, Gresham street, City. Two SPANISH MINISTERS NEARLY DROWNED. —A communication from Lequeitio, in the Bay of Biscay, ova :—" Two of the Ministers of the Queen of Spain, MM. Marfori and Belda, who accompanied the Court to this place, have narrowly escaped drowning. Both these high personages went out in a boat fora sail ; the Minister of Marine took the rudder, and as this was the first time that the statesman who directs the Spanish navy had seen the sea, he steered so well that the boat capsized. Both Ministers were of course in the water, and neither being able to swim, would undoubtedly have perished if aid had not reached them. Much mirth has been indulged in among the visitors here at this incident." A circular has been sent from the Home-office to the governors of the different gaols, laying down the following rules with respect to private executions: —l. For the sake of uniformity, it is recom mended that executions should take place at the hour of 8 a.m on the first day after the intervention of three Sundays from the day on which sentence is passed. 2. The mode of execution, and the ceremonies attending it, to be the same as heretofore in use. 3. A black fisig to be hoisted at the moment of execution upon a staff placed on an elevated and conspicuous part of the prison, and to remain displayed for one hour. 4. Th bell of the prison, or, if an arrangement can be made for that purpose, the bell of the parish or other neighbouring church, to be tolled for fifteen minutes before and fifteen minutes after the execution. • SINGULAR CASE.—A Vermont raper says : There is a man in this State who cannot speak to his father. Previous to his birth some difficulty arose between his mother and father, and for a considerable time she refused to speak with him. The difficulty was subse quently healed, the child was born, and in due time began to talk ; but when sitting with his father was invariably silent. It continued so until the child was five years old, when the father, having exhausted his powers of persuasion, threatened it with punishment Air its stub. bornness. When the punishment was inflicted it elicited nothing but sighs and groans, which told but too plainly that the little sufferer could not speak, though he vainly endeavoured to do so. All who were present united in the opinion that it was impossible for the child to speak to its father. Time proved this opinion to be correct. At a mature age its efforts to converse with its parent could only produce the most bitter sighs and groans. TRADE DISPUTES.—An important case under the Masters and Workmen Act of 1807 was heard at the county magistrates' office, in Liverpool, ou Saturday. Messrs. J. G. and Robert Martin, builders, complained by information that two hod-carriers, named Stephen Wood and James Dignan, whom they had employed at 225. per week wages, had struck work about one o'clock on Thursday, the 20th August, at some houses in course of erection in Hedge-lane, and so brought to a stand the bricklayers engaged in building the houses. The bench ordered the prisoners to pay respectively Bs. and 7s. as their share of the loss thus sustained by their employers having to pay men who were standing idle, trade rules not allowing any one but recognised hod carriers to carry bricks to the " setters," and to forfeit half their week's wages, The judgment was designated as a lenient one for the sake of example, and to chew work men Ow pow,t of tho sow Act ill comptWpa theiLuig theddirbauttNatnatlism4 EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF PERJURY. At Maidstone, Mr. Fowler, one of the county magi& tcates, has been engaged in investigating a charge of wilful perjury, preferred by the London, Chatham, and ])over Railway Company against Henry Dawford Ham good, a pawnbroker's assistant. The allegation was that the defendant had committed perjury in an action brought against the company for an assault. The defendant was travelling on the company's line, when, for some reason or other, he thought proper to pay the excess fare, and change his second for a first-class ticket, but by a mistake of the booking-clerk he received a ticket which, when examined by the collector upon the platform, purported to be an excess from third to second class only. On the first count of the declaration, therefore, which applied to the detention and loss of time occasioned by this to the defendant, the company had paid 40s. into court. It was to the second count, however, alleging an assault, to which a plea of justification had been pleaded, that the present inquiry related mare particularly. Ham good at the trial swore that he had entered a first-class carriage and had been dragged out by the company's servants. The prosecution allege that he never got into a carriage at all, so that the assault could not have been committed. It was also alleged that the defendant hea himself somewhat corroborated the company's view of the matter in a letter written to the manager, Iv herein Hamgood never mentions a word about " the pulling" out of the carriage, which he subsequently swore to having taken place at the trial. At the close of the opening statement a long legal discussion took place, Mr. Smith, fBr the defen- Jant, contending that, as the company had pleaded a justification to an assault different to that which was proved at the trial, and the plaintiff had not new assigned, no issue was taken on the second count of the decla ration, and therefore the evidence of the defendant on which perjury had been assigned was not material to the issue. Mr. Straight, barrister for the prosecution, said that the Queen v. Philpotts would, even assuming the first part of his learned friend's contention to be correct, meet the present case, as it was clear the defendant had falsely sworn in a judicial proceeding, as laid down by Mr. Justice Maule in his well-known dictum, and acted upon in Regina v. Dobbin. After hearing the evidence of the shorthand-writer, the inquiry was adjourned. The case is the first of a similar character, and is consequently an important one. A CONVICT'S CONFESSION. At the last Gloucestershire Assizes two men were sen tenced to fifteen years' penal servitude each for a daring burglary. Numerous burglaries had been committed in the county, and the depredators managed to get clear off with their booty ; and the two men, Wilson and. Geary, who were convicted and sentenced as above, have ebnfessed that they were implicated in burglaries not only in 'Glouces tershire, but in Worcestershire, Monmouthshire, Kent, and other counties. The confession was made to the deputy chief constable of Gloucester (Mr. Griffin). Wilson narrates circumstantially the particulars of several burglaries, the blows he gave to policemen with a life-preserver, his inten tion to shoot anyone who interfered with him, and the manner in which the proceeds of the burglaries were taken to London. The following is the account of one of the burglaries in which Wilson was implicated: —" On Monday night, November 5, 1866, I and a friend (not Geary) went to a jeweller's shop in the Eastgate-street, Gloucester (Mr. Neninger's). We got over two or three high walls at the back, and tried to break into the house, but were disturbed. A policeman had found us, and he followed us down a lane into the market. We turned to our left, and he ran up to us and tried to stop us. I heard afterwards that the police. man's name was Tuck. We both had our life-preservers in our hands, and both struck at him at the same time. My friend struck him and knocked him silly, but I missed him. We then turned, and made back for the railway station. Before we got there we heard a horse coining very fast. I took out my pistol, and intended to shoot the horse, but we had just time to jump over a spiked gate before you (Mr. Griffin) rode up. Had you been sooner, and attempted to take us, I should have shot you. We ran across the line, got over into some fields, remained quiet for some time, and then made off for Ledbury. We robbed a jeweller's shop there the same week, and then left the neigh bourhood. Geary was at this time doing penal servitude." Geary confirmed the confession, and added: " I suppose the gentry are frightened, and will sell their silver and buy electro-plate ; we should not have a chance of getting much more. I shall say no more, for if it was known to the six or seven hun dred convicts whom I shall be sent with that I, a profes sional thief, directly after being convicted commenced to squeak and tell all I know about other robberies we have committed, I shall have no peace. I know we shall have to do twelve years before we can get a ticket-of-leave. I'd as soon have had it for twenty years or for life, for then we could have obtained a ticket-of-leave after serving twelve years. I hope we shall be sent out to one of the colonies, and then we shall be able to get a ticket-of leave sooner." THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY. EVENING, AUGUST 31, 1868. sumption, also some relic. The Cacciatori attended it with their band. On the Sunday in the octave there was a fair and a sort of pilgrimage to a little chapel on a height, reached by a beautiful shady walk, called the Madonna del Tvfo, the legend bein g that a shepherd boy one day found the full length figure of our Lady and the Infant Saviour, which is still venerated there, and over which the chapel is built, painted by angel hands upon the living rock. The irrepressible mor taletti were let off at eleven, and then High Mass, at which the Zouave band played. In the evening the band played again, and then there was a display of fireworks. I was at the early Mass in the camp, for which the hour is seven. It was at the altar at which the Holy Father assisted, now looking sadly denuded. Colonel Allot was in tcompany wih the young Princess Aldobrandini, who, with her husband, had driven over from Frascati; they stood in front of the soldiers who formed the line of guard, but a chair was brought for her. It was intensely hot in the middle of the day, the hottest day we have had out here ; in the night came a severe thunderstorm, and the thermometer has since gone down four de grees. Madame Kanzler, who has been unwell for some days past, and ordered to go to France for her health, left here on Friday evening, many officers accompanying her to the sta tion. Mgr. Stonor, who is staying at Albano, leaves for England in a day or two. A Zouave died yesterday in the hospital, and was carriedto the Church this morning, the band accompanying. I was too unwell to go out, but an hour afterwards saw the bier, followed by a small detachment of Zouaves and the band, taken to the cemetery, which I can just see at the foot of the hill from my. window. The people seemed to take great in terest in the ceremony, and followed the pro cession en masse. There is to be a field day to-morrow----a sham fight and practice siege, first of Castel Gon dolfo, and then of Albano. The weather looks threatening, bat has not yet occasioned a coun termand. The orders at present are to start at 3.30 a.m. The Tiber, they say, is rising again, but at this distance it does not yet appear higher than usual. Tuesday, S. Helena's day, was kept at the Basilica of Sta. Croce, built to receive the re lics of the Crucifixion she brought from Jeru salem ; also at the Ara Cceli, where her body is preserved. To-morrow the Cistercians keep the feast of S. Bernard, who came to Rome in 1137, and established a house of his order at the Tre Fontane, now restored to another branch of it, the Trappists ; and in one of the three churches there, Sta. Maria (Scala Cceli the spot where he used to kneel for his medi tations is pointed out. The head house of the Cistercian order is S. Bernardo alle Terme, a beautiful little circular church, built by Coun tess Calerina Sforza, in 1598, in a spherLsterium, of the baths of Diocletian. LAW AND POLICE. FIRST CONVICTION UNDER THE NEW VACCINATION AcT.—At Wandsworth Police-court James Bovingdon was summoned for neglecting to have his daughter vacci nated within three months after birth. The defendant said that on principle he objected to vaccination. It seemed that at the time of birth notice of vaccination was given to the mother. A fine of 10s. was inflicted. THE FOREIGN GIRLS PROTECTION SOCIETY.—At the Middlesex Sessions Henry Bedwell was charged with stealing five brushes. The prisoner went into the prose cutor's shop and represented himself as the secretary of the Foreign Girls' Protection Society. He said that a Horns was about to be established, and the committee wanted to see some samples of brushes. The assistant shewed him some, and he selected five, and then said be wanted two of a better quality for the Lady Superior. These were also shewn him. He then said something about measuring the lower rooms of the Home for some cocoa-nut matting. The assistant said they would attend for that purpose in the morning, and send the brushes at the same time. The prisoner said that would be too late, as the committee were about to sit that afternoon, and he wanted to submit the brushes for their approval. On this he was allowed to take them away, but instead of taking them to any committee he took them direct to a pawnbroker's. He had produced a prospectus of the society which he assumed to represent, and this contained the names of seven persons of apparently respectable position as a committee. Two of these were called to shew that their names had been used without their authority. Another, named Weston, whom the prisoner alleged to be the promoter of the society, was said to be dead. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. There were a number of other cases of the same nature against the Prisoner, and sentence was postponed. IMPORTANT TO LIMITED LIABILITY CO3IPANIES.—At Bow-street Police-court, Mr. James Block, secretary to the Breadmaking Company (Limited), was charged with infringements of the Companies Act—neglecting to have the name of the company painted over the office door, at 449, Strand, and also for using a seal on which the name of the company was not legibly engraved. For the first offence a penalty of 10s. per day was inflicted, and for the second a fine of 20s. had to be paid. THE "FEMALE BARMAN" AGAIN.—At the Worship street Police-court, Mr. Parrott, landlord of the Duke's Head public-house, Norton-folgate, was charged on remand with having assaulted Mary Anne Walker, his barmaid. The complainant was engaged for a term by the defendant to act as barmaid ; they quarrelled, and she was about to leave the house, when defendant pushed or struck her. Mr. Ellison was of opinion that the charge was not substantiated, and granted a certificate marked "No assault in law." M. Tremy has obtained the privilege of establish ing a Crddit Foncier in Spain. The South London Press says a musical con temporary has announced to the world "that the great sen sational preacher, Mr. Spurgeon, has been engaged for s lecturing tour through the United States, to commence early in the fall." We are authorised to give an un qualified denial to the statement, and to say that the gentleman's engagements at home reach over the period mentioned above. FUNERAL OF MR. COMMISSIONER GOULBTJRN.— The mortal remains of Mr. Goulburn, Comtnissioner of Bankruptcy, were on Saturday removed from Seymour street, Portman-square, and conveyed to the catacombs of Kensal-greeni, Cemetery, where they were deposited by the side of his late wife, the lion. Catherine Goulburn. The funeral was strictly private, in accordance with the wishes of the deceased gentleman, and consisted of a hearse and four horses, and four mourning coaches containing the Immediate relatives of the deceased. The coffin bore the following inscription :—" Mr. Serjeant Goulburn. Died 1868, in the 81st year of his age." FITTING OFT OF THE GREAT EASTERN.—In a few weeks the Great Eastern will leave the Mersey on another cable-laying expedition, having been chartered to the new Franco-American Telegraph Company. The big ship, which is now lying in the Mersey, is undergoing a com plete overhaul, and preparations are being made on board for the construction of the cable tanks. Up to Thursday next the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Com pany (Limited) will receive tenders for the supply of 5,000 tons of best South Wales steam coal, to be delivered and trimmed in the bunkers of the Great Eastern. The ship will, as a matter of course, be commanded by Sir 'lmes Usicrtai, ROMAN AFFAIRS. (From the Correspondent of the TV estminster Gazette.) ROCCA DI PAPA, August 19. Before proceeding with any local news of the week, I think it important to give you 1 some more particulars from the official report of the trial of the conspirators of last autumn than I had time for last week. The moment Was well chosen for its production, as there are abundant evidences of the preparations even now secretly making for renewing similar attempts. The revelations of this report, thus viewed as a picture of horrors from which extreme vigilance and energy alone can save us, are most thrilling to the reader resident on the spot. To any who have the cause of the Papacy and of Rome at heart, they can be scarcely less so, however. The ranks of the sect were made up, as we usually find, of a few ambitious men, having for their tools the lowest of the populace. Men who had gained the position of deputies to the Piedmontese Parliament, and officers in Garibaldi's army, are found in continual con ' clave with bricklayers out of work and dis banded soldiers. The mason who, goaded by a continual threat of assassination, fired the mine which ble iv up Serristori, received a reward of fifty-three francs. One of the plans at present brooding, it would seem, is an attempt to draw profit out of the failures of last year. With a fatal superstition, the anniversaries of those various failures are selected as the meet occasion for revenging their loss. In fact, la vendetta di Mentana is an expression which is fast becom ing a watchword among them. Fortunately, these things are not unknown to the police, and much mischief may be averted by two arrests which have just been made. One is of a man named Sagrini, one of 4Garibaldi's soldiers in 1849, and a confidential agent in Rome of the Piedmontese ministers, Della Minerva and Teccio, in 1858, 1859, and 1860. He has been long suspected of being the as sassin of Signor Evangelisti, brother of the present colonel of the gendarmes. Letters found upon him show that he was employed here as the secret agent of Crispi and Menotti Garibaldi last October. The other is a Pied montese named Muzetti, who also served under Garibaldi in 1849. Hef was indicted on the return of the Pope from Gaeta for several atrocious crimes, among others of stabbing a gendarme, and causing the parish priest of the Minerva to be shot. He was, however, re leased from prison about three years later, and in 1859 he became a member of the Revolu tionary Committee. By profession he is a contractor for building operations and railway constructions, and has some money. He owns a villa near one of the gates of Rome, where be harboured for some time last October Cucchi and Guerzoni, two deputies of the Italian Parliament, who took an active part in directing the various Garibaldian movements. Further, by bribing the excisemen at Fiumi cino, he was instrumental in introducing a thousand muskets, several cases of revolvers, and 300'pairs of boots. This was the booty which Captain d'Arcy and his company had gone out to seize at the time when the attempt was made to blow them up at Serrsitori bar racks. On the occasion of the present arrest of this Muzetti, a quantity of arms were again found on his premises. Another nest of conspirators has been found in the frequenters of the racket court of the Villa Barberini. Racket is a popular game with the Romans, and many young men of good family, and even some of the princes, are wont to try their skill against the players. Prince Lancelotti, who formed the urban patrol in October, is one of the foremost amateurs. The other day, as he was preparing for the game, it fell to one of the men, called Cialdini by his comrades on account of his likeness to the Piedmontese General of that name, to bind round his arm the handkerchief which is thus used tb deaden the force of the ball in striking. As he did so he was heard to whisper to a man near him, " Last year his party was putting manacles on us ; it is our turn this year !' This is only one of many tokens that this place has been made a rendezvous for members of the sect ; it has, consequently, been closed. Another source of mischief has been stopped by a contract entered into by the Pontifical Government with a Catholic shipowner at Mar seilles, M. Cazeneuve, to bring over the Vol unteers and material for the army. This will preserve the men from the temptations to de sert, with which they are plied on board the steamboats of the Compagnie Valery. The devices of the Revolutionary party are endless for introducing their agents into Rome ; at one time they are poured in by twos and threes as chance visitors ; at another they are sent as honest tradesmen seeking to open some business necessitating the employ ment of a couple of hundred hands, who might all be Garibaldians in disguise. The police are well to be on the alert, but this alone is not enough. It is absolutely necessary that the moral effect be sustained of displaying the de termination of Catholics in every country to fill up the ranks of the army, and to be more untiring in the defence than the revolutionists can. be in their attacks. Cardinal Reisach, Bishop of Sabina, one of the suburbican dioceses, is making a visitation of his See. It is said he will not leave out that part of it which has been annexed by Italy, whatever opposition or annoyance he may meet with. The Germans in the Pontifi cal army now amount to 2,300. A reading room has been opened for them at Palazzo Peretti. The Pope held a Cappella on the Assump tion, or as people call it here, the litadonna di Agosto, at Sta. Maria Maggiore, so:called be cause it is the largest church in Rome with that dedication. It is also called the Basilica Liberiana, because it was built in the Ponti ficate of the Pope Liberius, ad presepe because among its relics is the manger in which the Divine Infant was laid, and ad nives because a pious Roman noble, Giovanni Patrizzi, having resolved in thanksgiving for the birth of a son to build a church to our Lady, he had a vision telling him that the spot on the Esquiline where he should find in the morning that snow had fallen was the chosen site of the future temple. This occurred on the sth of August, 352, and is commemorated by a shower of white flowers let through apertures in the cuptla of the Lady chapel, also by a similar ceremony in the chapel of the Madonna del Soccorso, at S. Peter's. If I remember right, "S. Maria ad Nixes " was one of the celebrations thought of sufficient importance to be retained as "a black letter day" in the English Protestant calendar. The Pope was warmly greeted on entering and leaving the church, and the Roman throng was swelled by crowds of pilgrims who had come in from the mountain villages around for the feast, which procures them a complete respite from labour. The Mass at which he assisted was sung by Cardinal Asquini, in the place of Cardinal Patrizzi, who is ill. He was then borne in the sedia gestatoria to the portico of Benedict XIV., in the façade of the church, and gave the postolic Benediction to the crowds gathered in the vast piazza, in the midst of which was stationed a detachment of the troops with their band and colours. After wards, a number of people were admitted, according to custom, to kiss his feet in the sacristy, and I am told the slipper he wore on the occasion, which bore the cross richly embroidered as usual, was brought him last week from the East by a Mussulman lately converted to Christianity. In the evening the city was illuminated. The French, of course, had a special cele bration and a Te Beam at the Church of S. Louis, M. de Sartiges going up from Frascati purposely to attend it ; all the members of the Legation, and several officers from Civita Vecchia were there also. Down here, we had also quite a grand pro cession for a village affair. There was a pon derous machine bearing a painting of the As- THE PAPAL ZOUAVES. Charles Gordon, of Drimnin, Argyleshire, in a letter to a contemporary, dated August 24, says was surprised to find on my return from Rome an opinion generally prevailing in England that our Zouaves were in a very des titute state, almost as bad as our own troops were at one time in the Crimea. This is a misconception. At the period of the battle of Mentana, and for some time after, those who went out had of course difficulties, delays, and privations to encounter=all the harder for those who came late that there was no fighting or excitement to compensate for it. It could not well be otherwise, unless the Holy Father had possessed miraculous powers of creating resources. Not to mention the French, the corps of Zouayes, alone, doubled in number from the crowds of recruits that poured in from all nations, when it was feared from the hesitation of the French Emperor that the treachery of Castelfidardo was to be re-enacted. Those especially who had to wait a long time in depot needed at that period a stock of patience. Now, however, everything is in working order, our men are all out of de pot and in the Campania. The Pap a l D e f ence Fund Committs3 in London have taken mea sures, so that the life of the Zouave is not only tolerable but comfortable. They have increased the pay of those who required it, and provided them with tobacco free of cost. They have also established a library which serves as a club, and which has proved a grea t b oon i n many ways. The diet and pay of the Zouave is superior to that of most Continental armies, but, of course, our labouring men, accustomed to the high pressure system of heavy feeding and hard work, such as is nowhere practised on the continent, find a difficulty at first in accustoming themselves to it. Moreover, the other nations in the Zouaves have had advan tages over our men in being furnished with funds to obtain coffee, wine and other things which are really necessities in the foreign method of living. Until the committee, by in creasing their pay, enabled them to obtain these, our men were at a disadvantage. It is to be hoped that those who have not the leisure to volunteer, will assist the Papal Defence Fund Committee in making the condition of those who have done so as comfortable as pos sible. Of all the noble spirits - who are at pre sent banded for the defence of the Holy Father, none have made such sacrifices as our British working-men. They had large wages at home, at Rome every five days see them in posses sion of only sevenpence of pay. Yet, one of these men earned as much as three pounds a week at home. Another gave up a pension of eightpence a day, besides what he could earn, and he is still young. The Continental, on the contrary, makes an exchange for the better. He is better clothed, better fed, better housed than at his own home. Moreover, he has chance of promotion, and he leaves his country and returns to it amid the applause of his neighbours, who look upon him as a hero. Our poor fellows have no hope of promotion, from the difficulty of acquiring French. They left amidst the jeers if not the curses of their fellow workmen, and far from looking for an ovation on their return, will be too glad, when the Holy Father has no further need for their services, to go back to the workshop they left, and find that their old employment is not re fused to them. As for gentlemen Zouaves with money, the sacrifice, except that of the will, unavoid able in the Military life, is nothing. They can spend a good part of their time agreeably enough. The wonder is that more of that class have not gone to Rome. When duty calls the rumour of hardship and danger is an incentive to our hardy race. At present there is neither the one nor the other, but doubtless if war broke out, which must happen before many months, there will be a share of both.

The Constitution directs the Legislatures to superintend the elections, and though formerly some of these Legislatures settled the question by making the nominations themselves, the system was dropped, as it was considered more in accordance with the spirit of Republican insti tutions for the people at large to send to the College their Representatives. The Legislature of South Carolina, for instance, always reserved to itself" the power, and even in New York it was the law from 1792 to 1821. Some chose the Senatorial electors only by a general ticket, the district electors being confined to electoral districts, and it was not till the administration of General JAC KSON that the general ticket was substituted. The attempt now made to revive the old custom in the 1 ttely reconstruete 1 States is justified by many Republican papers on the plea, first, that it is Constitutional ; secondly, that the men disfranchised by the 1 ith Amendment declare their determination to vote at all risks, which, being interprete 1, means a riot ap proaching in magnitude to a renewal of the civil war, countenanced by the highest Execu tive authority, and against State Governments many lawyers pronounce usurpations ; and finally because the election of General GRANT and a firm Government would soothe irritation, promote material prosperity, and do more than anything else to obliterate the traces of the war. But all this is begging the question, for they assume that the Southern " malignants" will act in one way, and that the Republicans, if they can seat their candidate in the White House, will act in another. WADE HAMPTON is a Representative man of the South—a Southerner of Southerners, and even he distinctly repudiates the use of force ; so do all the leaders in reply to the accusation made against them by the Republican party; and the Democratic State Convention of North Carolina on the 14th instant adopted resolutions declaring their inten tion to use legitimate and peaceful means only to overthrow their political opponents. The accused then deny the charge of being about to draw the sword to secure a right of which Congress has de prived them. Of course the Copperheads dispute the third reason, maintaining that the effect would be exactly the reverse, being a mere continuation and confirmation of the present system, which they say has totally failed. It is then an open question whether the assumption by the Legislatures of this power would lead to good or evil, supposing that the whites quietly submitted to what they consider a usurpation. The Alabama Legislature passed the bill, but it was killed by the Governor's veto, and the Chambers adjourned to the first Monday in November, the day of the election. As yet the Legislature of Florida is the only one which has passed such a bill, and it has adjourned to the same day, when, in accordance with the law just enacted, it will assemble to choose the Presidential electors. Whether the other reconstructed States will follow the example of Florida remains to be s :en. At this distance we cannot estimate justly the necessity for the measure, but, judging from what we can see, we sincerely hope that no such additional apple of discord will be cast into these distracted States. The Alabama Legislature has removed by enactment political disabilities from all whom the State Constitution allows to vote, and even Governor BROWNLOW has recommended a similar Act to be passed by the Legislaturt of Ten nessee. This is true wisdom, and will prove so when brought into practice. Remove all political disabilities ; keep up the United States garrisons ; and under their protection permit every man quali fied by the Constitution in all the States whose re presentatives are admitted into Congress to cast his vote for the PRESIDENT. If the negroes go with their old masters a strong Democratic majority is the worst that can happen even from a Radical stand-point, and that is better than a civil strife or a smouldering discontent liable at any moment to burst into flame, resting as it will on the dan gerous basis of injustice. On the other hand, if the majority be Republican, the Southerners may growl, but they will yield. They will combine to fight their battle at the polls, and, if defeated, sub mit to the result. Viewing the question in its.worst aspect to a Radical, Democratic successes in the Southern States may turn the election in favour of SEYMOUR and BLAI R ; but what, in truth, will this amount to as regards the nation at large? HORATIO SEYMOUR is a man of first-rate abilities, and of a pure record. He has been trained to public life, and to govern. On the question of finance—the American question of the future—he stands in a foremost place among American statesmen ; on the question of Reconstruction he will be compelled by the force of circumstances to adopt in a modified way the policy of Congress, and to make the best of the institutions erected. This he will be better qualified to perform than a Republican, because he has the confidence of the Southern party now in op position ; and in adopting the measures he deems expedient he will not meet with the violent resist ance a Republican would in enforcing the same measures. It is possible that the Democrats could reconstruct the South better than the Republicans on the Republican plan—just as in England the Tories only could carry the W hig measure of Reform. The mass of people in the United States do not care a straw either for Republican or Democrat, except when exciting questions force them to sway towards that party which they think will best carry out their views. To " gerrymander" a district — to legislate the majority of a State out of their con stitutional right—is simply hateful to these people. Until excited they are individually indifferent how the election goes, but they want to get the full opi nion of the country expres3ed, and they regard with disfavour the trickery by which a party manoeuvre the citizens out of their right. But though little harm can accrue from putting the ballot into every man's hand in the South, and allowing him to use it in the Presidential election to the best of his ability, great harm may result from the opposite course. In the event of the Republicans gaining by a narrow majority, and the electoral votes be given by the Southern Legislatures, the Democrats will unques tionably declare the election to be illegal. It is another question whether they will fight rather than submit, which will mainly hinge on the strength of their majority. If the elections prove the Demo crats to be backed by the greater portion of the nation, they will assume that they are the stronger; and there will be hundreds declaiming that if they submit to the ille gal domination of the weaker party, they are poltroons who deserve to wear the chain of servi tude. We cannot shut our eyes to this danger, for it exists in all its hideous reality. The PRESIDENT has not recognized as legal the Legislatures which pro - pose to pass a law constituting themselves the elec toral bodies, and many Southerners openly affirm their illegality. Of all the questions in dispute this will be the most serious, for most hinges on it. Another of lesser importance is involved in the point whether Congress had the power to make a new State within the geographical limits of an old one, as in Virginia, without the consent of the in. habitants. Further, has Congress the right to dis franchise three States, and refuse their votes when tendered? These questions will be fiercely dis cussed if the .Republicans win by a narrow majo rity, and may lead to disastrous consequences. lii the event of a large majority such a disreputable "rigging" of the political market will be useless. Still worse will it be in the event of a Democratic majority, for it will give to that party an exagge rated sense of its power and a " shocking bad" Ex ample, which we know from experience•the Demo crats are only too ready to follo y. For these rea sons we trust that the governing party will resort to no such expedients to secure a majority, but leave their cause to the wisdom of the people, and if defeated, which we think highly improbable, ac cept their punishment as the return for no small amount of misgovernment, and learn to be guided with more wisdom in the future.—Anglo-American lines.

A hoax is an offence, and a forgery is a crime, but if ever the one were allowable and the other par donable, it is in the case of the Right Hon. Stuart Wortley and the Times touching the Credit Fon cier. A latter was forwarded to Printing, House Square, dated Royal Hotel, Lowestoft, August 21, signed "J. S. Wortley," expressing that gentle man's regret that he had ever been connected with such a company, and that he intended in justice to the shareholders to pay to a Restitution Fun ac count the £lB,OlO he had wrongfully received as commission on unrealized or imaginary profits. Eng land, which had settled down to the conviction that, the'rnen with the " toughest things in conscience" were those of the director class to which the right hon. gentleman belonged, received the announce ment with unfeigned astonishment. The idea that even one among those who had published the early reports of the concern was susceptible of such high feelings as could alone in real earnest have dictate 1 such a letter, made hun dreds of thousands rejoice who had no con nection with the company. The revelations of the last three years have had a deep and pervading influence on English society. As name after name which long years before had shone bright and I honourable had been stripped of its glitter, and held up in its naked defoimity to a deceived and disgusted public, men secretly put the question -" Am I only honest by chance ? and are all men rogues, separated by the line of those who have had and those who want the opportunity ?" , A more revolting tale could not be told in the annals of any country than these revelations. The gross selfish ness—the insatiate greed—the total absence of truth—the prostitution of names—the trading on false representations—the callous cruelty towards the victims—and the recklessness to any results so that they escaped with the plunder, have sunk deep into the nation's heart, annihilating man's belief in his fellow, and even leading honest men to doubt their honesty. To a public so affected this an nouncement was made, and it at once became the talk in Capel-court, in London clubs, and in every middle-class household. Ten times the sum would have been subscribed at an hour's notice that that letter might be true. Many read it with an absolute sigh of relief. The paltry sum would not return ta the proprietors of the Credit Foncier even two shil lings a share, but it was an oasis in the desert, it was a welling fountain to a weary and thirsty traveller. " My judgment hasbeen harsh," was the exclamation ; " we have lately seen but the worst side only, and here is a fine instance of the reverse." Never had a man a better chaoce of earning a cheap reputa tion ! But 'what director of the 'Credit Foncier could prefer any other god to his golden calf, and what an idea to wade through all that mire to grasp his precious (metal) image, and to give it up because the Times wrote a homily ? The next day a telegram from the red-hot right honourable an nounced to the world, then fast rising into a swell ing chorus of admiration, that the letter was a forgery, that he hastened with the speed of elec tricity to repudiate the audacious falsehood which for a moment had erected him into—we will not say what. He intended to be consistent, and a piece of greater inconsistency could not be imagined than , such a letter from the governor of the Credit Foncier. What was it he was therein announced as about to do? Why actually to make restitution ! He has played a game of " Heads I win, tails you lose" with a set many of whom were fascinated with the "Honourable" and the "Right Honourable," and having deliberately carried this out, hav ing pocketed all that was to be got, having retired to allow others to prop up the rotten structure, and secured—at least until these troublesome newspapers and shareholders be gan to agitate—the quiet enjoyment, what folly to suppose he would surrender all because the Times wrote an article in condemnation. When we glance at what he did, and what he was accused of being about to do, the absurdity of the supposition is clear. He had played as we said " Heads I win, tails you lose" with the shareholders ; net actually tossing up as little boys in the streets do with cop pers, but in this way :-1 - le accepted the chair on articles of association, drawn up by those and the creatures of those who took the seats, awarding a commission on gains, to be estimated on a valua tion of assets by themselves. If they over-esti mated the assets they derived therefrom a direct gain in hard cash ; if they uuder-estimated the assets they merely delayed their own reward. In I the event of a gross over-valuation they pocketed a huge sum, and then their policy was to retire as rap'dly as possible on the first plausible pretext, and if the company afterwards smashed, so much the worse for it. 'Hence they occupied the position of awarding themselves what they pleased, knowing that if the assets proved comparatively worthless nothing could be recovered from them, but if they proved much more valuable they would be entitled to divide the surplus. If this be not " Heads I win, , tails you lose," we do not know the meaning of the I saying, as it is as plainly as it can be put, that, I take the benefit of every rise, but you take the loss of every fall. Let the right honourable gentleman ask his—we were going to say conscience—this question, for we cannot expect him to answer it publicly, supposing that instead of " stuff" these assets, or some of them, had turned out rich beyond expectation, would he have accepted from the rise the further commission to which he would then become entitled ? and we may answer for him, as a matter of course, that be would. Then let him look on the other side—for there is another side to every thing—and he will see that it is not fair that he , should be playing this game with the money of others, accepting every benefit, but shielded from every loss. he shareholders do not ask him to lose anything, but only if he has mismanaged or been unfortunate in the affairs entrusted to him, that he should not take any of that money himself, and if he has, under some mistake, that he should give it back, and iris a striking instance of what we have come to, that all England should have risen in a chorus of praise because a right honourable was Ifor a moment thought to be about to act such a part. Mr. Grant says that it is impossible to calculate in the late violent fluctuations—then, let the money which cannot now be equitably divided be accumu lated in a fund, to remain open till such fluctua tions have ceased, and the real values of the assets are determined ; for Mr. Grant should remember that the shareholders do not ask the directors to pay for the disastrous mismanagement, but to hold in suspense certain sums which they unfairly awarded to themselves as commission until what is fair can be determined. If they decline, we will at least have a convincing proof that they played the game of "Headsl win, tails you lose," knowing what they were doing, and bent only on personal gain. The New Orleans Times asks where Colonel John F. Deane, whom Governor 'Yarmouth despatched to Wash ington, to urge on the President the necessity of sending United States troops to Louisiana, got his military title. It asserts that it must have been in the school-room, as his sole sphere of action was that of a pedagogue. It further states that the let►ter transmitted by this honoured staff officer places the "carpet-bag" Governor iu no en viable light. He may hive been deceived by malicious calumniators desirous of perpetuating the carpet-bag rule, but it maintains that he had misrepresented the state of the country, and the story of 150 murders within six weeks was a wilful fabrication, which it was in the best position to pronounce extremely unfounded.

AN AMERICAN " GALIGNANL" One of the delusions of Americans in Europe is that a newspaper, similar to Galignani, for Ame rican intelligence, could be here maintained. There are many reasons why such a publication neither has been, nor can be, successful. Galignani was formed in the days of dear postage and difficult travel to circulate English news over the Continent from a central point, and meeting a requirement, it became a great success. Then, even more than now, lon don was the focus of English thought and news. An article from the Times represented the national sentiment ; one from the Daily News the Libera l , and from the Standard, the Conservative view ; from the Post came the fashionable intelligence ; from the Athenwum the literary ; from the Economist the financial ; and from the Spectator and Examiner the more deeply considered weekly exposition of important questions. Out of a score of party and class organs the editor of G ilignani had but to select, and he epitomized in his journal the whole o d inina and general intelligenca of Englanl, and, stringing these together, his cola 1113 gave E Iglish travellers of all parti es al I creeds something suited to their ideas and a digest of those of their political oppe' nents. America has no metropolis which assumes to be the centre of American thought, nor has the Re public any journals which do, even if they aspire to speak the national sentiment. The waves of the Pacific lave the shore of San Francisco, and those of the Atlantic that of New York ; while New Orleans ships sugar, and Boston Wenham Lake ice. The alli gator basking in the swamps near Savannah, and the bear making tracksover the snows of Wisconsin, have no more similarity than the productions of these districts, which differ even in a greater degree than the sentiments of the inhabitants. The country extends over regions so diversified, and climates so dissimilar, connected in many instances so imper fectly, that each portion has a centre of its own politically, commercially, and socially, with its State Government and Legislature, its local men of mark, its intelligence, and subjects of interest. Thus then there is neither the concentration of political and social news in one central city, Or those organs of opinion which from such a centre speak national, party, or class views, and a Ga/ir nani editor, who with his scissors attempted to re' produce in Europe every passing sunshine and shade of opinion, as it lightened or darkened the United States, would find he had undertaken s task twenty Galignanis could not satisfactorily ac' complish. The gist of the subject is concentration , and it is possible with such nations as England and France, for there the centralization is cola' plete. England possesses one SOVEREIGN, one Imperial Parliament, one governing city, where are established the offices of State, where the fashion is set, expression given to national thought, atla which itself supplies three-fourths of the subjec t matter. 'Where is such a city in the United States? New York more nearly approaches it from its great population, trade, and wealth ; yet in that city eve ll . , the State Legislature does not assemble, and though it is the focus of trade, and may become to America what London is to the British En3Pir e ' now it is only a commercial city. On the other hand, Washington is the city of Congress an d Governmental offices, but nothing more ; Boston claims to be the seat of literature ; San Francisco the Queen of the Pacific; Chicago the City of th e Lakes and of . the Prairies; New Orleans is t he outlet of the Mississippi, each asserting its individn' ality, and aspiring to be a centre, at least commer cially and socially, for districts exceeding in exten t the United Kingdom. Yet in but few of thes ° towns does even a State Legislature sit, and all have interests wholly distinct, with 330 t 5 very many objects in common. If, then, paper undertook to compile for Americans 0 Galignani does for Englishmen it would require a t least one foi each centre we have named, and th e but scant justice would be done to the country.: Yet insurmountable as is this difficulty, there . ! ancther almost as great. The news of Amertes_ comes in fitful flashes through the Cable, less than " ought, but still sufficient to neutralize the scissorieg. efforts of an editor. Bare facts are announc ed which it is incumbent on him, from the fuller infer' oration be has at hand, to dilate on in explanation! completing the story as best he can by filling ' l B details and probabilities. •A paper of paste an: scissors would not only fail to represent Alin!, rica in Europe, because the editor could not r: his hands on the recognized and concentrated s:t pression of national, party, and social thought , ant because it would give mere sectional expression af" c i many of the subjects bad been fully discussed Oro passed.into oblivion in Europe.
