--•- SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. THE YOUGHALL OUTRAGE. The Times says it may be doubted whether the selection of a bishop or the appointment of a judge be the occasion I, of greater gossip. Everyone must at some period of his life have known what an excitement arises in clerical society when a see happens to be vacant. Speculation at once begins, if it has not, as more commonly chances, begun long before the event occurred. But the class from which judges are taken is much narrower than the range of poss iblebishops. The present Governmenthave addedto the unparalleled number of their legal appointments by the nomination of the three additional judges authorised by the Bribery Act of last session. It is announced that the Solicitor-General has been preferred to the Common Pleas, Mr. Serjeant Hayes to the Queen's Bench, and Mr. Cleasby to the Exchequer. There is not a barrister now enjoying his vacation but will express his opinion, approving or condemning the choice. The appointments will probably, on the whole, give satisfaction—indeed, in one view they may excite great satisfaction—but it is idle to suppose that exception will not be raised by some disputants. The nomination of three judges at the same time is an event so rare, and the affluence of legal appointments enjoyed by the present Ministry has been so excessive, that it was thought the powers which determine the fate of aspirants to the bench might, without any great stretch of magnanimity, have chosen one judge from among their political oppo nents. We have no notion what the politics of Mr. Ser jeant Hayes may be; probably, like the late Mr. Justice Littledale, he would, if asked whether he was Liberal or Conservative, answer that he was a Special Pleader ; and it is certain that he has in no active way shewn his interest in political questions. Lord Cairns has, it seems, been strong enough to resist the pressure brought to bear on Lord Chelmsford in favour of political fidelity. The first bribery judge will probably be the Solicitor-General, and it is possible that his successor may not be elected till the commencement of the Michael The Cork Examiner, speaking of the attack made on the dwelling-house of Mr. Drew at Youghal, describes it as "an event unprecedented in the peaceful records of the community." The following are the correct particulars, ai far as we have been able to ascertain. About half-past twelve o'clock, when most of the inhabitants of the district were attending worship, a party of men, suppbsed to be eight in number, but certainly five, all armed with revolvers, approached the residence of the Rev. Mr. Drew, rector of Youghal. The residence is a castle situate about a mile from Youghal, isolated in position, standing in the midst of ornamental grounds, which include a plantation of trees. The castle is a strong building, and appears to have been well prepared to resist any attack made upon it. On one of its towers a cannon is mounted, and a sufficient stock of arms is kept within. At the time the Rev. Mr. Drew, with his son, Mrs. Drew, and a number of servants, were on the premises. On their way towards the house, the party met Mr. Drew's coachman, a m s.n named Walsh, whom they took into custody and obliged to walk before them to the ball door. There they knocked, and in reply to an inquiry from within, one of them replied he had a letter to deliver to the Rev. Mr. Drew, and requested the door to be opened. This desire was not complied with, and the party then, it is stated, threw off all pretence, and boldly demanded what arms were in the house. The answer they received was a volley fired from the windows by the occu pants of the castle. The attacking party returned the fire with their revolvers, and a vigorous fusilade was kept up on both sides for a considerable time. Some of the assailants attempted to force the front door, and so persevering and determined were they in their efforts that they all but effected an entrance. The door, though a stout one, had so far yielded to the force exerted against it that it was split almost from top to bottom, and in a few minutes more the attacking party would have been in the hall. Expecting the door to fall in, the attacking party, it is stated, placed the coachman in front of them, as a shield against any shots that might be fired against them. Just then, however, an alarm was raised that the police were approaching, and the assailants then withdrew, after having sustained the assault for about half an hour. They retreated through the plantation, firing as they went ; and they obliged the coachman to accompany them out of range of the bullets from the castle, and then compelled him to kneel down and swear that ho would tot give any information concerning the occurrence or those who took part in it. They then released him and departed. He at once hastened off to the police-station at Youghal and reported the outrage, whereupon Head-constable Goulding, Constable Cosgrove, and a party of five men under arms hastened to the castle, which they reached about quarter-past one o'clock. At that time some of the occupants of the castle were still firing. The police having assured the beleagured garrison that they bad come to their relief, commenced a dili gent search, but there was no trace of the party who had made the attack. A search was then made through the town with no better success, and it seemed likely that all the assailants would escape capture, when Constable Cos grove, inspecting passengers by the evening train for Cork, thought he recognised one of them as answering the description given by the coachman of the man who administered the oath to him. A telegram was at once despatched to the constabulary in Cork, informing them of what had happened, and direct ing them to have an armed party in waiting ou the arrival of the train. Having taken this precaution, Constable Cosgrove and another policeman took their seats in the same compartment with the suspected man, and watched him during the journey towards Cork. At Tivoli the man got out upon the platform, and appeared about to leave the station, when the constables took him into cus tody and brought him on to Cork. He stated his name was Michael D. O'Halloran, bootmaker, 13, Coach-street, Cork. He has been identified by the coachman. Nobody on either side, whether attacked or attacking, was injured mas Term. The Post remarks that it was said justice to Ireland had ceased to be a matter of sentiment and become a practical reality, the first step towards which should be evidenced in a more intimate association with its people. Enlarged and generous sympathies were aroused, and found expres sion from politicians of every denomination. It was con ceded on all sides that there was much to be forgotten and forgiven. There seemed to be some hope that in mutual concession the Irish question would find its settlement. It now stands proclaimed that this was but the delusion of an hour. The social snake has been scotched, not killed. The old spirit revives in iL.s worst possible form, and agrarian outrage exercises its terrorism as of old, meeting a determined assertion of legal right by an organised resistance to legal process, and ending in the effusion of innocent blood. To say that the announcement of the Tipperary outrage occasioned as much surprise as regret, is to best convey the sentiment of the English people. Now that the full details are published, the peculiar atrocity of the assassination is undiminished by any one extenuating circumstance. The victims who have fallen were neighbours, known to their murderers as discharging mere executive duties, uninfluenced by personal con siderations. That iu civilised life such an occur. rcnce should takejplace is scarcely to be credited. That iu a country under English rule a preconcerted resist , ante to the operations of law and a deliberate destruction of human life should be successfully carried out, is cer tainly not to be tolerated. Neither is the mere vindication of abstract right in itself to be regarded as a sufficient justification for the infliction of grievous social wrong. The Post condemns the course taken by Mr. Scully, and says that it is vain to hope that, without specific and distinct legislation, this state of things will entirely cease. That generous and considerate landlords abound in Ireland—even in Tipperary—is a fact abundantly acknowledged by grateful and well-satisfied tenants on the adjoining farms. That exceptions aro to) frequently found is, unfortunately, equally true. Wl.en the Church question is resolved, that of the land can no longer be de e red. It calls for settlement in lan guage which cannot be misunderstood, and writes the history of incompetency or indifference in the blood of those whom abortive efforts at legislation have thus per mitted to be victims. The Herald, in a leader upon the Tipperary outrage, holds that the law must be vindicated, and the landlord be supported in the exercise of his just rights. But while it is an absolute necessity for the public good and the benefit of deserving landlords that all concerned in so daring and fatal a breach of the peace should be punished, the con duct of Mr. Scully, if fairly represented in the Cork Excciainer and other respectable provincial papers, merits, and must receive s universal condemnation. If it be true, as stated by them, that he insisted on his tenantry taking leases containing covenants which would enable him to send them adrift on a twenty-one days' notice, without their receiving any compensation whatever for improvements effected or the value of their growing crops, with the alternative of prompt execution if they refused, we can scarcely wonder at their desperation, however much we may reprobate their violence. It is, indeed, hardly possible to suppose that any sane person would have acted in the manner Mr. Scully is reported to have dons ; for the man must have no regard for his own interests, and be perfectly devoid of any kindly feeling or any sense of jus tice, who sought to force his dependants, under threat of instant ruin, into contracts-which would leave them com pletely at his mercy, and permit him to plunder them of the fruits of their industry, and reap the benefit of even the growing crops which they had sown in depen dence on the security of a lease wilfully framed to entrap them. It will be well for Mr. Scully or his friends instantly to contradict the reports so openly circulated to the injury of his character. The Daily News believes it is admitted that the Irish Church Demonstration on Monday was a conspicuous failure, and no sooner is the fact apparent than Ministerial organs begin to disavow the meeting, to draw distinctions between the " Protestant" and Conservative causes, to blame the indiscretion of the speakers, and to deplore their references to Ritualism. This is shabby. It is not English—it is not Tory ; for Toryism, as we have hitherto known it, is straightforward, and not ashamed to be on the losing side. But whether our Ministerial contemporaries choose to acknowledge or disown a movement organised to support the Government at the next elections, it is not in their power to saddle the cause of Protestantism with the failure of Monday's meeting. The Protestants of the United Kingdom have no interest in the objects of the demonstrators. The chief strength of the Protestant feeling in this country is found in bodies whose members, far from being supporters of privilege, exclusiveness, and ascendancy, have suffered from their establishment, and have learned under the severest discipline that nothing is so favourable to the interests of religion as freedom and equality. The good sense of the country distinguishes between the cause of Protestantism and that of the Irish Church. The Telegraph lays on the head of their fathers the guilt of innocent blood, the blood of brave men shot down for protesting against tyranny, of mothers butchered for expressing sympathy with their husbands, of babes mas sacred because they belonged to a hated race. On the head of their fathers lies the guilt of desolated homes, and provinces laid waste, and the bitter feeling which the name of England inspires in the breasts of exiled Irish men. On their own head lies the guilt of striving to perpetuate that accursed system ; and any effort to uphold it by force will meet at the hands of Englishmen with as stern punishment as was ever meted out to traitors. That is the reply to Mr. Foster and his fellow Orangemen. We do not know whether they claim kin ship with a Mr. Holden, who has said that, though he did not like to use strong language, he must call Judas '.. , i;e P `Tray. Iscariot a gentleman in comparison with the member for South Lancashire. 'We are certain that Judas Iscariot is very much obliged to Mr. Holden, and that if he were on earth at this moment he would take his stand beside Mr. Holden as one of the most fervent supporters of the Irish Establishment. Unfortunately, when such an institution is assailed, not only by the Liberal party, but by the very elements themselves, in the form of.pelting rain, and when its chief allies are Judas Iscariot, the Orange Society, and the latest atom of Mr. Disraeli's creative skill as a peerage-maker, the end is at hand. Intended to be a final and crushing parade of the pious host that was to overwhelm Mr. Gladstone and his revolutionary schemes, the demonstration has actually done him a signal service. In the most conspicuous of places, and in the face of the whole country, it has shewn how feeble in numbers, how puny in political influence, and how con temptible in parliamentary and popular organisation, is the party which seeks, by the exercise of fanatical bigotry, to perpetuate a scandal to our civilisation and a disgrace to our Christianity. Sir Walter B. Riddell, who has occupied the position of Recorder of Maidstone for the long period of twenty-two years, has, much to the regret of the inhabi tants, resigned his office. During their long connection the most kindly feelings have existed between the inhabi tants and their Recorder, whose judicial capacity and kindliness of dispositina have often been acknowledged. We believe that Sir Walter is succeeded by Mr. R. H. B. Marsham, a well-known member of the Home Circuit. — Maidstone Journal. A NEW KNIC:FITHOOD. —The Queen has conferred the honour of knighthood upon Mr. Andrew Fairbairn, mayor of Leeds. It will be remembered that when his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales opened the Art Treasures Exhibition in Leeds last May he was entertained at a grand ball by Mr. Fairbairn in the Victoria Hall.

LAW AND POLICE. DEIMITION ON A RAILWAY JOURNEY. —A case was beard in the Newtown County Court, in which Mrs. Grady, a draper, was the plaintiff, and the Cambrian Railway Com pany the defendants. From the evidence it appeared that on the sth of May the plaintiff took a ticket by the company's line to Manchester, leaving Newtown at six in the morn ing, and, according to the time specified in the company's Lill, being due in Manchester at half-past ten. On arriving at Oswestry, however, she found that the train for Man chester had gone, and, declining an offer made to her by the traffic manager to send her on by the special, she took a ticket for Newtown and returned home. For the defence it was urged that, in accordance with a notice on the time. table, the company was not responsible for delays in the arrival of passengers, and, further, that two offers had been made to send the plaintiff on—by one train which would have reached Manchester at 11'45, and by another which would arrive at one o'clock. Judgment was given for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed. A NOBLESIAN SUED BY A RATCATCHEIL—At the Leeds Assizes an action was brought by a man named Smitb, a ratcatcher, against Lord Londesborough. The plaintiff had been engaged by his lordship's agett to exterminate rats on the estate for £5O per annum. On• applying fox his wages the agent told him that it would be raised by a rate on the tenants, which he (plaintiff) would have to collect. Plaintiff then collected some money and continued for another year, and at the expiration of that period he had a claim of £lOO, exclusive of the amount he had received from the tenants, and which came to £4B. He applied to Mr. Young, the agent of Lord Londes borough, for the money, but was again told that he must look to the tenants, and a number of letters were sent to them, urging upon them that they should pay the plaintiff what he wanted. The plaintiff was not able to get his money ; hence the present action against his lordship. The fury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. " THE LONG FlEH."—Samuel Israel, 36, dealer, an& William Barnes, 33, baker, who were remanded from Last sessions of the Central Criminal Court, were indicted for unlawfully obtaining by false pretences from William Turton a quantity of hay-seed, with intent to defraud. tames and another man, named David Morgan, were also indicted for obtaining by false pretences from Thomas Dobson 200 bundles of willow twigs, with intent to defraud. Barnes kept a small shop in the Borough, and was in the habit of answering advertisements in the provincial papers, and by doing so a communication was opened with parties who had anything to dispose of. By this means potatoes worth £ll5 and other articles were obtained. The carriage on the goods was paid by Israel. It was proved that Barnes was really a respectable man, and had been the dupe of the others, and he was acquitted. Israel was sentenced to THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON. The anxiety with which not politicians only, but men engaged in business in every city of Europe, hang upon the utterances of the Em peror Napoleon, has something about it very painful. It shows more than anything else that in Europe, under its revolutionary regime, peace and war do not depend on causes that can be foreseen or avoided, but upon the in scrutable and inevitable decision of one irre- sponsible man. Whether war is to come in October or not was uncertain until the Emperor pronounced at Troyes the words that "Nothing, to-day, threatens the peace of Europe," and now men believe that they are safe for to-day, to pursue their legitimate callings, or their ille • gitimate speculations; but they also believe that the absence of a warlike allusion is only a tem- porary reprieve, and that the conclading words of the speech, " Have confidence in the future, and do not forget that God protects France," forebode that the trial of strength which people are looking forward to between France and Prussia is only postponed. Such anxious speculations, whether they have any warranty or not, clearly prove that war is not regarded as an event of terrible necessity, jus tifiable only on grounds of public justice, but as a mere matter of political expediency to ad- vane() the interests of a dynasty or to avers political discontent. That political discontent is coming to a head in France it is vain to deny. The causes of this growing discontent are various. Some undoubtedly may be traced to that fatal revolutionary restlessness which, since 'B9, like a brain fever, has seized upon France, and under the impulse of which she has more than once been driven to suicidal courses. But other reasons also exist to ac- count for the increasing discontent. French men are beginning to feel ashamed of being treated as unmanageable children or as escaped lunatics; they fret under the restrictions which bind them and resent the jealousy with which they are watched. As long as Napoleon's policy, however, was successful in Europe their vanity was gratified and they were willing to sacrifice liberty to " glory," but no sooner did reverses fall upon the Emperor, and they are too well known to need enumerating, than the critical and sceptical temper of the people of Paris turned upon the idol of the nation and laid bare to public mockery the hidden feet of clay. The state of the public finances is no small element in the distrust which is gathering round the closing years of the Em peror's reign. In another direction, the vacillation which the Emperor manifested on the Roman ques tion, his evident desire to conciliate the Re volution, until the manifestation of the Catho lic feeling of France forced upon him a sudden change in his policy, have not tended to in crease confidence in his rule. The man who is forced against his inclinations and his na tural bent to support a cause in which he has no heart, may be made use of and protected by many, but is respected and trusted by none. Such is the lot of the Emperor Napoleon. He would go with the Revolution, like his cousin, if he dared ; as it is, he is compelled to guard the Papacy. Such a position is scarcely honest, but honest or not it provokes ridicule. And nowhere is ridicule more catching and danger ous than in France. Napoleon stands in dread of the sarcasms of the French Opposition. This sensitiveness accounts for the manner in which the Lanterns, famous for its sarcasms against the Government, has been prosecuted, and for the zeal of the Imperial police in seizing upon every stray copy, even those in the hands of readers, that they can lay hold of. The Lan terne is not the organ of any political party, nor does it represent any particular section of French society ; it simply appeals to the sense of the ridiculous, and shows no scruple in launching the most stinging sarcasms against the Government, the Imperial officials, and Bonapartists in general. By such means this small, mean-looking weekly pamphlet has attained within twelve weeks a weekly circu lation of 120,000. Its success in arresting public attention is a phenomenon, calling for consideration ; it shows at least that the Pari sian mind, after all, is not so dead to politics, The Temps, commenting on this popular ex citement, says : " Strange return of human things ! Those people who were thought so devoted to grosser indulgences do still take an interest in affairs of State. Where is now our prudent, judici ous, and timid Press—timid even in its ex cesses—of the last fifteen years ? Where are your refined allusions, delicate irony, which people said disturbed the slumbers of the powerful of the earth ? Where are those skilful reticences, those highly-polished darts, the cause of delight to 3,000 Parisians, and of avertissements to the Minister of the Interior ? To the hundreds of thousands who are now waking up a writer must speak out frankly, strongly, and roughly. It is liberty which is returning with all its frankness, and, if you will, with all its excesses." The Government which justly exposes itself to ridicule, is in France near its end. Another indication of popular feeling was the refusal by the son of General Cavaignac (the Repub lican general who was thrown into prison on the 2d of December) to receive, at the distri bution of prizes, his allotted award, at the hands of the Prince Imperial. This sensa tional incident was highly applauded, and caused a sort of commotion in the streets. We notice these incidents because they lead up to one result—war. To escape from ridi cule, to recover a waning popularity, to enlarge the already overgrown debt, without fear of popular criticism, Napoleon has only to em bark in a campaign against Prussia. The only condition imposed upon him is that it must be successful. A brief and brilliant cam paign is the last card which Napoleon Bona parte has to play, and he is not the man, if his destiny lead him on, to shrink from the terrible game.—Westminster Gazette. two years' and Morgan to nine months' imprisonment. FORGING A HUSBAND'S NAME.—At the same court Henry Prince was charged with robbery. It seemed that the prisoner ran away with a respectable butcher's wife, and the latter took a quantity of property with her. As the accused was not there at the time, and was only found with the prosecutor's wife subsequently, he was acquitted. Catherine Allen was then indicted for forging an order for payment of £909 Os. 3d., with intent to defraud. The accused bad run away with the prisoner in the preceding case ; but prior to doing so had forged her husband's name, and drew out all the money he had in the London and Westminster Bank. The jury convicted the prisoner, and she was sentenced to five years' penal servitude. HEAVY DAMAGES FOR THE BITE OF A DOG.—At the Shoreditch County Court a case was heard in which James Cobb, a groom, sued Mr. Charles Page, a horse-dealer, for injuries received from the bite of a dog. The dog was concealed by a bin in the stable, and on the plaintiff going there on business the animal jumped out and severely bit him. He was an in-patient of the hospital for twenty-five clays, and an out-patient until June last. The plaintiff had previously been earning a guinea a week, and sought to recover compensation for loss of wages, and also for the serious and painful character of the injuries he had sustained. The jury awarded £4O damages. THE ATROCITIES ON BOARD THE LTDIA.—At the Liver pool Assizes, Ainsell Larkin,. a seaman, was indicted for the murder of Donald M`Donald on the high seas. It ap peared that numerous atrocities had been committed on board the ship in question. One night the deceased was absent from duty, and when Larkin found him out he be came very angry, and struck M`Donald on the head with a belaying-pin, and then kicked him. After lingering in the greatest agony for three days, M`Donald died. The prisoner had been heard to say that he would kill the de ceased. The jury found a verdict of manslaughter, and the accused was ordered to be kept in penal servitude for life. The Archbishop of York has left England for a tour of four weeks on the Continent. The services of a proposed Volunteer Artillery Corps for Birmingham have been declined. A new church has just been consecrated near the Bishopstoke station, on the South Western Railway.

The following is from Thom's Statistics of the United Kingdom, : " The Roman Catholic hierarchy consists of four archbishops, whose sees are in Armagh, Dublin, Cashel, and Tuam, and twenty-four bishops. The bishops are nominated by the Pope, generally out of a lia.t of names submitted to him by the bishops of the province and the clergy of the vacant diocese. In case of ex pected incapacity from age or infirmity, the bishop names a coadjutor, who is usually confirmed by the Pope. Every diocese has a dean and an archdeacon, the former appointed by the Cardinal Protector at Rome, the latter by the bishop, but these dignitaries are with out jurisdiction or emolument. The whole of the clergy are supported solely by the volun tary contributions of their flocks. The Epis copal emoluments arise from the parish in which the bishop officiates, from marriage licences, and from the cathedraticum, an annual sum varying from £2 to £lO, paid by each in cumbent in the diocese. The 2,425 civil parishes in Ireland are amalgamated into 1,070 ecclesiastical parishes or unions, being 440 livings less than in the Established Church. The parochial clergy are nominated exclusively by the bishop. The number of priests in Ireland in 1854 was 2,291, of whom 1,222 were educated at Maynooth College. Their incomes arise from fees on marriages, bap tisms, and deaths, on Easter and Christmas dues, and from incidental voluntary contribu tions, either in money or labour. All the places of public worship are built by subscriptions, legacies and collections. There are numerous monasteries and convents ; the latter are sup ported partly by sums, usually from £3OO to £5OO, paid by those who take the vows in them, and partly by the fees for the edu cation of the daughters of respectable Roman Catholics. The friars and nuns also devote themselves to the gratuitous education of the children of the poor.

The Times of Saturday last returns again to the charge that Archbishop Manning, in speaking of S. Thomas it Becket as having laid down his life in defence of the freedom of religion, has misrepresented the character of the saint and the cause of his death. This charge is founded on a misuse of terms, for the TillieS puts into the Archbishop's mouth words which he never used, and a meaning which he never intended to convey._ "At Leeds," says the Times, "Archbishop Manning renewed the attempt to persuade his audience that b. Becket's cause was identical with that of religious liberty as we now understand it." The words we put in italics are necessary to give a colour to the charge of the Times, but neither the words nor their equivalent were used by Dr. Manning. The Times next in troduces an assumption, and asserts as if it were a self-evident truth that the principle upon which Nonconformity is bases " alone explains and preserves intact the enjoyment of civil and religious liberty." By religious liberty the Times understands " free thought and free life." Now, what did S. Thomas A Becket understand by religious liberty ? Certainly not free thought or the right in man to choose or reject religion, but he un derstood by it the right guaranteed by the law of England, which every man enjoyed,—that religion, the supernatural guide and teacher, should be free from the control and the in- terference of the Royal Power. This freedom, as being essential to the wellbeing of religion, was recognised and protected by the law of England; for, as Dr. Manning told his audience, showing clearly the meaning he attached to the term religious liberty—that the first article of Magna Charta affirms that " the Church shall enjoy its liberty." This essential liberty, guaranteed by the English Constitution, was violated by Royal usurpations ; to resist these usurpations and this interference by the civil power with the rights and liberty of religion, was the duty of St. Thomas a Becket, both as a Churchman and a citizen, living under the guarantee of the law. Archbishop Manning was therefore perfectly justified in saying that St. Thomas died for that principle which is now held by two-thirds of the people of Eng land and Ireland—the freedom. of religion from State control. It is' neither fair nor honest in the Times to evade this conclusion, by interpolating the clause never used or dreamt of by the Archbishop, that St. Thomas - died for the cause of religious liberty, as , w e now understand it, 'and proceed, then triumphantly to show what nobody, least of all,Dr. Man ning, denies, that St. Thomas a Becket held in the greatest abhorrence the principle of " free thought and ,free life," or of religious liberty,' as now understood by irreligious Liberals. Such liberty is not liberty, bat licentiousness, and is rejected by every Catholic. Religious liberty consists in the freedom of religion from unlawful control, such as that so often exer cised, or attempted to be exercised, by the Civil power, but its essence consists in subjection to legitimate spiritual authority. A nation, there fore, enjoys religious liberty when religion in its spiritual relations, exempt from every inter ference of the civil power, is under the sole guidance of its spiritual rulers. To preserve such a liberty was the cause for which St. Thomas died, and we cannot in spite of the strenuous efforts of the Times to the contrary, see why he is tot entitled to the sympathy which the Archbishop claims as his due from all those who prize the emancipation of spiri tual things from the bondage of the State. We readily grant to the Times that the martyr to the cause of the freedom of religion is not entitled to the sympathy of those who hold religious liberty to be not the freedom of divine things from subjection to a human power; but the right of every individual to subject divine things—faiths revelation, the existence of a God—to his own judgment, and to accept or reject them as seems to him fit, or to teach others to reject what he rejects, to blaspheme what he blasphemes. But did the Archbishop for an instant insinuate, did his argument in the least warrant, that such an interpretation of religious liberty could but be anything ab horrent to the martyr to the cause of genuine religious freedom ? To its vile counterfeit, religious liberty, as now understood by irreli gious Liberals, Dr. Manning gave iio coun tenance whatsoever. But if the Times is egre giously wide of the mark in its criticisms on Dr. Manning's claim for the sympathy due from the lovers of religious independence to St. Thomas, it is even still more at fault in de claring that St. Thomas a Becket died because he broke the law. What law did he break ? Magna Charter affirmed that the Church has a right to enjoy all its liberty. The King vio lated this liberty sanctioned by English law, and because St. Thomas, as Archbishop Man ning showed, resisted this violation of English law, and of the independence of religion, he suffered death. We may justly retort upon prima r y error in regard Becket a n d t o D r . Manning's theto St. Times Th o ni t a h s a t a, its appreciation of the character of the Saint is theconfusion which pervades the whole of its argument of two distinct ideas, the freedom of religion from State control, and religious liberty, as understood by modern irreligious Liberals. —Westminster Gazette. THE CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD, The San Francisco Bulletin says :—" One of the prominent executive officers of the Central Pacific Railroad has declared within the last ten days that the road will be finished to Salt Lake, and passen gers will be transported over its entire length by the 4th of July, 1869. It is pretty certain, now, that there will be very little difference of time iu the completion of the two roads. The prediction amounts to this in effect—that on the 4th of July, 1869, passengers will be able to travel by continu ous rail across the Continent, from San Francisco to New York. Strange as the position seems, we are not prepared to controvert it. The two great companies have surmounted the greatest obstacles which are to be encountered on their respective lines. Each has passed the summit of the highest interven ing mountain ranges and is now on the ' home stretch.' The coming winter weather will not in terfere, as heretofore, with the progress of the work. Only a limited force could be used in the deep mountain cuts ; bu t u p on the p lains and more open country gangs of men can be distributed at various points. Brigham Young, it appears, has not only contracted to build a section of the road from Salt Lake east ward, but is likely to undertake quite as large a job for the Central Pacific Railroad, west of Salt Lake. President Stamford was at the lat ter point recently, and there is little doubt that arrangements will be closed with Young for such available help as he can furnish. A large ship ment of railroad iron, said to amount to 5,000 tons, is to be sent across the Isthmus ; and a dozen ships are under charter to bring rails by way of Cape Horn. "The pioneers who were polled up the Chagres in 1819 and '5O hardly dreamed that in a few years thereafter cargoes of railroad iron would be trans ported across the Isthmus to lay a railroad track homeward across the Continent. Until recently the prediction that the whole line would be finished and open for travel by July, 1870, has been gravely questioned. But now another year has been taken off, and as good evidence remains to show the pro bability of completing the road by July, 1869, - as there was 18 - months ago, to show that it could be completed in 1870. Two powerful companies are under the stimulusof the strongest interests to com plete their respective roads in the shortest possible time. There is probably handsome margin of -,_ profits on the construction of every mile of road through the more level country. The stakes are set well ahead ; and an army ranging from 12,000 to 18,000 men, we are told, will find employment on the Central Pacific line this summer. There must be on both roads an aggregate of 25,000 to 30,000 men, an army with shovels, picks, and other construction tools, moving towards a common centre, and battling only against the mountains and bills. " A correspondent of the Bulletin has recently gone over the entire route, noting especially the progress of the work on the Union Pacific line. His testimony corroborates the reports which have been current of late, that the work on the Union Pacific is not done in so thorough a manner as that on the Central Pacific. But the track once down, so that supplies can be taken ahead for distribution, the work of levelling up, ballasting and replacing poor tics, would follow as a matter of necessity. No doubt there are some evidences of 'ribbon' work on the Union Pacific. This results from a desire to reach out after the subsidies. But any railroad across such a country involves finally a solid, safe structure. If bridges are too frail, or culverts are of perishable wood, they must give place to something more permanent. A road which answers for construction trains may present quite another appearance when dedicated to through passenger and freight traffic. We know of no good reason why the Union Pacific ought not to be as thoroughly constructed in the outset as is the Cen tral Pacific. " If this great work should be completed as soon as now predicted, the Fourth of July, 1869, will be a memorable day for San Francisco. A great historic event, the greatest of modern times, would be fitly associated with the grand fact of national independence by the great multitudes congregated that day in the metropolis of the Pacific." THE IRISHMAN. (From the Anglo-American Times.) We recommend anyone who desires to exercise his brains on both sides of a question to compare an Irish Fenian paper with au Irish Orange paper, and if he does not drop the Irish study in mystification, he must have wonderful powers of perception. The contempt of an Irish Orangeman for an Irish Rib bonman must be seen to be understood. It ex- ceeds the contempt of a " mean white" for a negro, and partakes of the same cause, a belief in the su periority of race. An Orange paper. discusses Irish legislation in a spirit of great bitterness to England, accuses her of sacrificing the Irish Pro testant, England's only true friend, to conciliate the Papist, an enemy as irreconcileable as contempt ible. Glancing over the columns of a paper like the Irishman, the last number of which is now before us, we see a train of thought so to ally different, aspirations, hopes and fears sympathies, prejudice; ends and aims, all so opposite, as to be, the exact reverse of the Orange journal. The first thing that strikes us is that the - . - paper is well written,in a literary point of view, anct!'titis we believe to be characteristic of Irish `paperS,.as it is a maticrnal gift to write flaently. Tfie-neict . is . thiit it • has biit one idea --Fenianisni ; up with the green flag -and down with the Union Jack ; up with the shamrock and down with the rose. Extract that—and a page of advertisements only remains. Of course the United States is the country to which the Irishman turns, and so gene rally, that take out its American Fenian news, and but half the paper is left. The Fenians have a way of putting things which bothers the man in search of truth, although " Hn." from New York speaks of the treacherous discourse of Madame Rumour as abhorrent to his truth-loving inkstand. Touching the invasion of Canada, the correspondent is sorely puzzled, but inclines to the opinion that he will yet be compelled to pronounce " every single prominent member of the O'Neill wing' of the Fenians a disgrace to poor Ireland and a libel on humanity." So strong were the grounds from which he derived his information that the invasion of Canada would positively take place this summer, and so unlikely did it now appear, that " Hu." evidently found it difficult, without stigmatizing his brethren, to ac count for his positive assertions. But he has not yet given up all hope, and the mysterious congress of Fenian Senators at Buffalo is an illuminating ray. The Irishman, en voyageur, writing from New York, July 25, is evidently bored by the Presiden tial campaign. We learn from him that ➢lr. Blair is of Irish descent, and holds the maxim that "right" must be "might," which means that the might o America is to be exerted to assert the rights of Irish naturalized citizens against the insolence of any power that may presume to claim their allegiance. Adams was a " hound" that dared not " beg it," and " the Irish remain aliens and beggars still, sending up petitions and deputations day alter day, to the rogues in the capital, to the money-changers in the temple, who reject their petitions from day to day. Mark that, my brothers, the German is now an American citi zen full and perfect ; and (oh ! Heaven) the Irish, who built up this Republican empire, are only aliens still. Yet nothing can be done without these Irish —credulous fools as they are. Men tell me they have the might to secure their right, if they would only exert it ; yet, poor fools, all they want is simple equality. Bah ! they die for the Democrats ; and I think the Democratic party right in their main principles ; but I am told that the Democratic Governor chosen for Jersey yesterday is a notorious ' Know-nothing.'" Such " hounds " as Charles Francis Adams sup pose that the great Republic was built up by their progenitors and by themselves, nearly all of English descent. Richard O'Gorman is described as worth less and ungrateful, because he has grown wealthy, and once enjoyed being feted by Mr.:Justice Keogh in Dublin. The object of the present Congress is, ac cording to the writer, " to destroy the Southern claim of Free-trade, and to enrich themselves by prohibiting taxes against foreign products, and taxes which make the New England produce poor and paltry as they are, fetch the most startling prices in the mar ket. Here in New York you cannot get an article of clothing worth wearing except at a price of five fold what the same thing would cost in Dublin." All Americans the writer has talked with, " look upon foreign war as the only means of staving off an impending American trouble." It is not a little amusing to note how Irishmen balance one trouble by another trouble. The way to get rid of the consequences of one war is to rush into another war, and the evils of a heavy taxation may be neu tralised by a general bankruptcy. A military sup porter of Grant's urged the correspondent " to rally the Irish around the General and the Republicans, and we will have war with England on the Alabama question in a year." But the correspondent was too old a bird to be caught with this chaff—a De mocrat having jast said the same thing. A young Irish policeman had been shot by a brutal drunkard, and the writer naively shows the difference between shooting a policeman in New York and in Dub lin. Mr. Holland, who considers it the business of the ruling American party to put Irish citizens in a fair way to invade Canada or Ireland, or Eng land, or any other place, after abusing them for their infamous ingratitude, turns with hope to the Fenian pic-nic, and ends his letter with the follow ing postscript :—" Yet there may be something bigger in this Canada row than either you or I count on. Look out for trouble." In the " Topics of the Week," we are informed that Mr. Gladstone rushed to Liverpool to meet the great American rebel Davis, and we must institute an inquiry into the right hon. gentleman's conduct. Of course, an Irish paper could not be an Irish paper without " Omens of the war tempest," "Sullen subterranean rumbles," " distant mutterings and lowering clouds," " irruption of wild winds, stormy hurricanes, thun der, and the fatal flash of the red-forked lightning." Thus the leading article opens, and our hair begins to stand on end. The Irishman suggests, in an other article, " Grab 'em," as the proper title for the new duke who has earned it by signing " a thousand warrants for consigning Irishmen to a durance as bad as that of the Neapolitan prisoners." The editor knows of no act which could " more emphatically mark us (the Irish) as a conquered nation than the sealing of the patent for services such as the new duke has rendered to our masters." A foreigner affecting to despise Irishmen is soon taught he is iu a dangerous groove, yet Irishmen howl aloud that they are a conquered, an enslaved and degraded people. With pity the world often awards contempt ; but an Irishman insists upon hav ing all he can get from his woes, and all the respect the most virtuous, brave, strong, and intellectual people can claim. " The egg-shell fleet" is crumpled up with great glee. It is of course the British ironclads, and it is this ignoring of facts, and travelling into a fool's paradise, which lead Irishmen so often into mischief. Can the editor suppose that England does not know how to build ships? Is he not aware that she could launch two vessels for every one of equal tonnage the world combined could float, and put the most powerful armaments yet invented and constructed on board England has two enormous advantages, which make her the most dangerous of Powers. The first is an almost unlimited wealth and credit ; the second is, the greatest mechanical facilities anywhere to be found, perhaps equalling those of all other nations put together. The debate in Congress is next dis cussed on the question of naturalized citizens. Senator Conness is, of course, held up as an example, and his words given in reply to Sumner, who had spoken of war, to show how little effect it had in toning him down. We should think not, for it is the avowed purpose of his sec tion to involve America in war with England, on behalf of the Fenian party in Ireland. The ques tion which " hounds" like Charles Francis Adams, for instance, have to consider is what is the Ame rican interest involved. The Irish claim to number six millions naturalized and native-born citizens of Irish descent. Allowing this, although we dispute first that the descendants of the Irish are Irish, and next that all the Irish are of one mind—there are six millions against thirty, and when they claim to sacrifice the interest of the vast majority for their Own, the assumption is simply monstrous. Now they do this with an ill-concealed threat, and they .b lack that threat by an illegal organization, which means more War to Americans than to English men. Indeed, it is plainly announced, and has on two occasions been attempted, that the attack is against the Americans who reside on the left bank of the St. Lawrence, and it is openly stated in American papers that there is a conspiracy on foot to force General Grant into the unpopular position of repression, with a view of injuring his chances of the Presidential election ! Irishmen must remem ber that American interests cannot be sacrificed to the achievement of foreign objects ; and already the symptoms are transpiring of the rise of the Know- Nothing party to meet an organization in truth hos- tile to American interest, by another organization. • And what is the object for which the Irish in America strive? If Irish Reform—they take the means to defeat it; for who can doubt that, in case of war, England would rale there by the strong arm, in spite of any combination ; while the progress of the Reform now in operation would be at once inter rupted. There is nothing more certain than that the English are earnestly anxious to conciliate Ire land and to obliterate every vestige of a wrong. It is also apparent that Americans are growing weary, and even alarmed, at the Fenian organiza tion, and that this will be unmistakeably shown when the Presidential election ends. We hope that in the interim this agitation will lessen, and that the year will see its end in the Irish measures of a Reformed Parliament, and in the election of a new President. THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD, THE CREDIT MOBILIER, AND THE CREDI2 FON CIER. (By George Francis Train.) (From the Anglo-American Times.) The following account of the Union Pacific Railroad by George Francis Train, will be read with interest. That line daily excites more and more attention not only in the United States, but abroad. At home, while Americans are proud of the enterprise, considering it to be ono of the greatest of man's achievements, they dread the usual corruption and jobbery which fasten on such magnificent undertakings. Already a Pacific Railway ring has been formed at. Washington, and it is asserted that the work is scamped, as it is hurried along to secure the Govern- _ . ment subsidies, and to meet the expectations of the nation that it may be opened on the next Fourth of July, but such successful companies can not hope to escape jealousy and detraction. Even the London Times now anticipates a quick turn in the tide of travel, and alludes to the completion of this monster enterprise as a main element in the success of the new French Atlantic Telegraph Company, as the intercourse with China and the countries of the extreme East will wholly flow by this route. From the commencement the An9lo-American Times has directed attention to this; and although it will come upon many with surprise, and de range existing interests, those who keep their eyes open ought not to be taken aback at the extraordinary change in the direction of Eastofn travol on the eve of which we now aro. Mr. Train's account is in reply to the following remarks in our last week's issue. -1 En. A. A. 7'..1 [Trains now run over 700 miles of tho Union Pacific Railway. The United States Commissioners have have examined and accepted 1,680 miles, and it is expected that 900 will be finished before the year ends, as there are 20,000 mon at work on the line, and the whole will be opened before the close of 1869. A case is reported in the London papers, taken from an American journal, against the directors. An affidavit, made in the Court of the United States, accused them of jobbing away the laud through the Credit Foncier of America, so as to depriv, the stockholders of the benefit. It is asserted that these directors sit also on the Board of the Credit Foncier, and while they deprive the Union Pacific shareholders of the bountiful gift Uncle sam has bestowed, they mop it all up themselves through the Finance Company. Perhaps George Francis Train can throw some light on this sub ject, and dissipate a scandal against the greatest corpora tion in the world.—Anglo-American Times.] Four Courts, Marshalsea, Dublin, Aug. 9, 1868. How few in Europe, or even in America, are aware that these Three Great Institutions were organized over my table, in my house in Madison-avenue. In 1862 I loft Eng land for America, with the determination to checkmate England for ripping up my tramways (because 1 fought for the Union, keeping the flag flying over the London American when I could little afford the money—Thurlow Weed, George Peabody, and Charles Francis Adams all refusing to assist, although Mr. Seward sent me £2O from his private purse), by building a railroad to China via the Rocky Mountains, some day I will write its history from original documents. Thomas C. Durant, a Wall street millionaire, who was arrested with me at Cork while we were on our way to examine the tunnel at Mount Cenis, was the man I selected for a base of operations. The charter was $100,000,000 Bill of 1862 ; $16,000 a mile. Ist section, $48,000 in mountains ; $32,000 3d sec tion; and $16,000 was the grant. The Bonds, Six per Cent. Government, were $50,000,000, and the grant amounted to $20,000,000 acres; $2,000,000 had to be sub scribed ; $200,000 paid up. .uurant and my friends having $160,000 out of $200,000 got control, electing General Dix, President. Cisco Turner and my father-in law, Geo. T. M. Davis, Bushnel, and General Dix were appointed a committee to make a contract. That contract was given to H. M. Hoxie, Durant's nominee; That done, I put the first pick in the sand and broke ground at Omaha, Dee. 20, 1863. Having got thus far I bought the old Duff Green Charter, giving great prices— known as the Pennsylvania Fiscal Agency—and elected Thomas C. Durant president Singular enough, I happen to have a copy of the original purchase with me, and as it is now history, known to the world through the Anglo- American Times for the first time, I hereby send it to you. (Don't forget that I am in a British Bastille for a debt paid by this same Durant four years ago to a partner of the Ebbw Vale Company in the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, while I am reciting this strange story.)

My next move was to raise the capital ; and I have the original letters of W. IL Macy, W. 11. Gunn, W. T. Glidden, T. M. S. Williams, Oakes. Ames, and others, who subscribed the first $1,600,000 in 16 shares of $lOO,OOO each. This letter is now for the first time submitted to the subscribers to the Central, and is also historical. Boston, Dec. 1, 1864. Geo. F. Train, Esq., New York, Dear Sir,—Yours received. I find Williams has no desire to be a director, and, besides, ho agrees with you that in his present relations ho ought not to be. I called to see you yesterday evening, and not finding you in, made known the object of my visit to Mr. Durant. Please say to him that ray Woad QvAly - 911w944 414 the 1-64th, and perhaps the 1-32 d, the latter if his friend will join him in it.

Mr. W. will return you the contract to-morrow, with check for $25,000. —Yours truly, W. T. GLIDDEN. Now then for your question. Those shares and this Credit Mobilier was the contract for building the Union Pacific Railroad—that is to say, the Credit Mobilier and the Union Pacific Railroad—are ono and the same thing, the shareholders of the ono covering the other. Hence it is no body's business how the land is disposed of, providing tho road is first-class and the interest is paid on the bonds. ONE HUNDRED PER CENT. DIVIDENDS. The stock of the Credit Mobilior has paid annual divi dends of 100 per cent., not like the Mobilier of Franco, or llobilier of London, out of principal, but from actual pro fits, and is now worth 400 per cant. premium. The paid up capital is now two millions sterling. The company has now £1,000,000 in the bank in New York. The road is built entirely of Amorican iron, and none of the bonds are hold iu Europe ; that is, no loan was askod for or mado abroad. ROAD FINISIIED, JULY 4, 1869. Mr. Durant, the vice-president, and Mr. Dillon, the president of the Credit Mobilier, were at Chicago on the 20th ultimo (see letter from my private secretary), on their way to Salt Lake, to arrange with Brigham Young to put on 10,000 Mormons, so as to finish the road to San Francisco, July 4, 1860 ; and 1 hereby invite the editors of the Anglo-American Times and the London Sun, who copy my political letters to you in full, to take a trip over the road when completed. (Extract of a letter from my Private Secretary.) Sherman House, Chicago, July 20, '6B. Geo. Francis Train, Esq., Dublin—boar Sir,—* * * Durant and Dillon arrived y,!storday on their way to Salt Lake. The road is bounding ahead at the rate of from 2 to 5 miles a day, and is now in complete running order to Benton (the north part of Platte), about 700 miles west from Omaha. Durant says Proprietor of Everett House, Albany, would like to rent your Omaha Hotel, the Cozzens douse. I shall see him while east. Durant says ho don't ,eo as you want anything or would accept anything from anybody in the way of bail or money, and thinks that you intend lighting it out en that line if it takes a ltfe-tinte. AN EDITORIAL EXCURSION TO THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS. " * * * Mr. Frost left here last Friday for Omaha with an editorial excursion party of about forty, composed of leading editors from Boston, Now York Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pittsburg, and a fow from Chicago. Hobbs, of Pensley and Co., and also Shaw, who writes editorials for them, had them in charge as far as this city. I saw con siderable of them for twenty-four hours that they spent here. Accompanied them in tug to the " Crib," with Messrs. George W. frost, Gov. Bross, Chicago Tribune ; W. H. Smith, of the Republican; and quito a number of merchants and editors from this city.

'I he trial of Colonel Berdan's new breech-loading rifle at the armoury grounds, at Springfield, proved satis factory to himself and the friends of the pioc3. The trial was made at distances varying from 300 to 1,050 yards, in .he former case the moan deviation being 3 inches, and is the latter 20 inches. The gun is upon the sliding-bolt principle, and resembles the Chassepot gun with which the french troops are armed. Colonel Borden already has orders for the gun from the Russian, English, and Aus trian Governments.
