OF TEE PUBLIC, T0U8.N.114, The Saturday Review, in an article on America, says ff Republican or Democratic candidates for the Presidency are disposed to moralise, they may find a theme for reflec tion in the recent close of Mr. Buchanan's inglorious !amen Always a conspicuous member of the Democratic party, he held in succession the two offices which are the llighest rewards of political success. As American Minis ter. to England, he interpreted the supposed will of the people, which General Grant regards as the ultimate rule of right, by concerting with his colleagues at the principal European Courts a conspiracy for the acquisition of Cuba, with a view to the extension of slavery. When he became 'resident, in 1857, he recommended the same policy to Congress ; and in all his measures he was eager to exhibit himself in the character of an unscrupulous partisan. Towards the end of his term of office, when civil war wag already imminent, he persisted in his determination to further the objects of the party which still controlled the fortunes of the Union. In his numerous messages to Congress he denounced the opponents of slavery as the enemies of the Union ; and charitable writers mayhope that he believed that concilia tion of the South was the only method of preventing dis ruption. Secession at last took him by surprise, and left him in a minority of the Northern population. Mr. Lincoln had been elected by a party which included only two-fifths of the voters; but the withdrawal of the Con federate States, and the sudden enthusiasm of the North, converted Mr. Buchanan from the organ of the omnipo tent popular will into the instrument of a helpless faction. He had declared his opinion that there was no constitu tional power to reclaim a seceding State; and he was negotiating with the Government of South Carolina when his term of office expired. Soon afterwards General Beauregard fired on Fort Sumter, and the great conflict began. The votary of majorities had no reason to com plain of the obloquy which he incurred, when, by the tilting of the political scale, the standard of morality was sud denly shifted. He lived obscure, and he died unregretted, to be followed, perhaps, in his earlier and later fortunes by many future Presidents. The John Bull comments on Dr. Pusey's speech at the meeting of the English Church Union. It was a wonder. ful example of the old adage that one man might steal a horse while another .might not look over a hedge. The whole speech was a political one. He not only urged the claims of Mr. Gladstone to the sympathy of Churchmen, but he actually stated that he would prefer Mr. Bright to the present Government, and had the inconceivable auda city to ignore the second despatch of the Duke of Bucking ham on Natal, while attacking the Government in no mealy-mouthed language for the first. Such conduct we cannot but characterise as unworthy of Dr. Pusey's high reputation, and if it be really true that he had not seen or heard of the second despatch, it only affords still further proof of his incapacity as a political guide. But the part of his speech to which the John Bull especially desires to draw attention is the passage in which he at least calmly anticipates the day when the Church in this country shall be disestablished, and it is fair to draw the inference that Mr. Gladstone shares, though he does not so boldly avow, the opinions of his distinguished supporter. Judging from the reception accorded to the advocate of Mr. Gladstone, there is little room to doubt that had that arch-enemy of establishment, Mr. Bright, accompanied by Mr. Gladstone, entered the room, the majority present would have received the two allies with enthusiasm, and, if they had been promised freedom for the Church, would have accepted disestablish ment and disendowment. And if this be not an exagge rated statement, does it not go far to prove that Mr. Disraeli was not so far wrong wl.en he said that the Ritualists were allied with others anxious to overthrow our constitution in Church and State ? MURDEROUS OUTRAGE On Friday evening some persons passing Bear-alley, Farringdon-street, heard a cry of murder issuing from a house in the alley, and on going to No. 4, whence the sound proceeded, they met a woman, almost covered with blood, running out of the house. She had not gone many paces before she fell to the ground from exhaustion. Her husband, whose name is Murphy, a tall, powerful man, ran after her, and was dragging her back, when two constables with great difficulty succeeded in freeing the woman from his grasp, and she was at once taken to St. Bartholomew's hospital, suffering from several severe scalp wounds, which had to be stitched up. Murphy, who is a porter, was taken to the police-station in Smithfield, and on being charged with the offence said that he did it in self-defence ; that when he got home to tea his wife was drunk, and run ning at him attempted to stab him with a carving knife, and that he struck her in self-defence. A g irl,who says that she saw all that occur red through the window, states that the prisoner struck his wife first with a table, and felled her to the floor. He then took a chair, with which he heat her till it was broken into several pieces. The poor woman tried to escape by the window, but he stopped her ; she then in her fright ran to the door and escaped into the street, where she was discovered by the passers by. It is stated that both of the parties were sober, the wounded woman when she arrived at the hospital, and the husband when taken to the station-house. Her Majesty the Queen held a Privy Council at Windsor yesterday afternoon. The Consecration of the Bishop of Hereford is ap pointed to take place nt 10 a.m. on Wednesday next, in West minster Abbey. His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury will be assisted on the occasion by the Bishops of London, Rochester, and Gloucester and Bristol. Two of the men who made a raid on the house of Mr. O'Connell, near Tralee, and fired at the woman-ser vant, have been arrested and fully identified. Their names are John Stevens and Edward Bally. Tho former is a shop porter; his accomplice is a labourer. When captured they carried arms. The following is the result of the Trinity Colleg6 (Cambridge) examinations - Greek Testament Prizemen— W.

Thomson, Archdeacon ; Dealtry's Prizeman— J. IL Thompson. On Tuesday Mr. Baines will a:k the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Government havo come to a de cision as to the exemption of schools and charities from tb6 recently declared liability to the payment of poor rates, on which subject the present and the late Governments have received important representations, and to which they have promised attention. The Town Clerk of Leeda has written to the Home Secretary, suggesting an amendment on the Registration Bill, to the effect that the number of votes permitted to be polled in one booth be raised from 300. to 800, instead of to only 500 as at present proposed. It is shown that in con sequence of the great increase of the constituent body in Leeds under the new Reform Act about 70 booths would be required in that borough if 500 votes only be polled in each. The object of his proposal is to save expense. SITIOIDE OF A MISER. —An inquest has been held at Birmingham on the body of a man named Tovey, who, it appeared, had committed suicide while in au unsound state of mind. His method of living led to the inference that he was in abject poverty, but on a search being made no less than £427 9s. 6d. in deposit receipts were in the house, also a bank book with credit for £2O in it, five shares in the Old Union Mill Company, and two watches. On Friday morning a large gathering of clergy ,and laity, including many personal friends of the Rev. Dr. John Atlay, vicar of Leeds, attended divine service at the church of St. Mary-le-Bow, Cheapside, to witness the confirmation of the election by the Dean and Chapter of Hereford of the rev. gentleman to the bishopric of Hereford, rendered vacant by the death of the Right Rev. Dr. Renn Dickson Hampden. A serious explosion of gas occurred at the Theatre Royal, Preston, the other evening. The stage foot-lights are supplied with oxy-hydrogen, and this mixture of gases is kept in bags provided specially for the purpose or, one side of the stage. Just previous to the commencement of the performance a man named Catterall and some others were engaged in preparing for the ignition of the foot lights by arranging the gas-bags, &c., when one of them suddenly exploded. Catterall was blown some distance ; his'clothes were torn in several places, and he was con siderably shaken and cut about the chin and face. TILE WRECK OF THE GARONNE.—The inquiry was concluded on Thursday afternoon, when it was declared that the owners were exonera t e d f rom a ll bl ame. Th e ship was lost because Captain Drew had not made a sufficient allowance for the set of the tido to the eastward, and not having slackened speed and put the ship's head to sea ward, when be must have known, if he had reflected, that the ship had run her distance and was ay proaching a dangerous position, in a dark night and thick weather. The Captain was not sufficiently collected to give distinct orders, and abandoned himself to despair. The second Inate . rendered efficient service towards saving t ,. .ke passen gers. The men in the lifeboat desrvo credit, and the men in the pinnance are not blameworthy. It was repre hensible that the dingay was without a plug, oars, or rudder, and partly full of peas, otherwise it would probably have Payed lives. The master and first mato could have saved their lives if they had chosen to get into the boat. It was recommended that cork Jackets should. b knt Pllkee , Western Mornina Newt GBEAT LIBEL CASE. After Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., had addressed the jury on behalf of the defence, the Lord Chief Justice pro. ceeded to sum up. After observing that the case shaped itself into two questions, one as to the correspondent's letter, and the other as to the leading article, his lordship went on to say that whatever might have been thought in days gone by, it was now agreed that a fair and impartial report of the proceedings in courts of justice, although it might contain matter defamatory to an indi vidual, was nevertheless privileged ; and the advan tage that accrued from publicity being given to law proceedings was such a public advantage that the convenience of private individuals had sometimes to be sacrificed. Of course, in a long and pro tracted trial it would be almost impossible to give a verbatim report ; but the condensation should be fair, just, and impartial. A newspaper, under the pretence of giving a report of the proceedings in a court of justice, that publishes comments of its own or the writer's, or incorpo rates facts that have not been stated or brought forward in the course of the proceedings, but introduces them of its mere motion prejudicial to the party, does it at its own peril. Referring more particularly to the case before him, the learned judge sa'd that the reports in question were more in the French than in our own sober style of giving pub licity to law proceedings, and he had no doubt but that the jury would be struck with the great resemblance of the style adopted by the Telegraph and some French journals in giving law reports of that description. It . was, no doubt, very attractive to the readers, and might come to be adopted in this country, but he hoped that it never would. But while it was attractive to the readers, it was dangerous in many respects. As soon as a reporter departed from a simple and plain narrative of what took place he was apt to draw on his fancy, and the reports, which should be as truthful as the proceedings in courts of justice themselves are, became tinged with the peculiar impressions which he had imbued, and lost their fairness and authenticity. His lordship then pointed out the misconceptions, the additions, and the omis sions relied on by the plaintiff in the report, and observed with regard to one portion of it that the writer must have obtained his information second-hand. In dismissing this part of the case from his mind, the Lord Chief Justice concluded as follows : "If you are of opinion that, looking to the whole of these communica tions, they do not convey a fair, honest, and faithful re port of what passed at the trial, but that, yielding to the impressions of the moment, and with the idea of making his reports as attractive as possible, the writer has gone beyond the bounds of privilege, and has stated that which is untrue and prejudicial of the man about whom he was writing, you are bound in justice to say so." With regard to the leading article, his lordship said that an article stating that a man was acquitted through the stupidity of the jury, the ability of an advocate, or from the fact of his being a lucky man, all the time insinuating that the accused was really guilty, then an innocent man would have ground for complaint. Did the article say that, under all the circumstances, Risk Allah was innocent, or that, notwithstanding that he had been pronounced not guilty of the crime imputed to him by the verdict of the jury, given as it would appear with the entire approbation of the court, he was guilty, and that it was owing to the skilfulness of the defence and his good fortune that he had escaped the condemnation which lie otherwise deserved, or did it bear the construction put on it by the defendants ? If so there was an end of the matter. It seemed to his lordship that Readly's death could not have been anything but a suicide, and if they believed that the facts tended to the innocence of Risk Al'ah, and there had been recklessness on the part of the defendant, their verdict must be for the plaintiffs After being locked up from three till within a few minutes of five o'clock, the jury said that they had agreed to find a verdict for the plaintiff, but disagreed as to the amount of damages. The counsel for the plaintiff said that he would abide by the decision of the majority, but the defendants objected to this. The jury had consequently to be locked up again, and at twenty minutes to six they returned into court, and gave Risk Allah £960 damages. LAW AND POLICE. ACTION AGAINST THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY COIF. PANY.—In the Court of Exchequer, the cause of Faulkner v. the Metropolitan Railway has been decided. •The plaintiff, a dealer in fancy jewellery, went to the Bishop's road station of the defendants' railway on the 20th of March last, and, as he was about to get into a carriage, a porter, according to his account, shut the door in so negli gilt a manner that his thumb was crushed by it. The defence was, that the train had been started and the gate closed when the plaintiff appeared upon the platform and tried to enter the carriage ; that the porter, seeing the danger in which he was placed, pulled him back, but thet he made another attempt to get in, and that in this way his finger was caught in the door. The jury gave £65 damages to the SINGULAR CHARGE OF BIGAMY.—At the Derby Police court, Cecil Anthony Fernando, a medical student, was charged with having intermarried with Mary Snaith, of Boston, Lincolnshire, his first wife, Eliza Fernando, being still alive. About eight years ago the prisoner became acquainted with his first wife, whose maiden name was Eliza Sliaw, at Aberdeen. She was at that time 16 years of age, and got her living as an actress and ballet-dancer. They cohabited together for some time, and in 1863 were married. In 1867 her husband became acquainted with Miss Snaith, a Lincolnshire lady, about 24 years of age, and they were married at the Derby Register Office in February last. The " happy " couple were captured in Glasgow. Miss Snaith was charged with abetting the male prisoner in a felony. After some evidence had been given, the case was adjourned. THE HOLBORN VIADUCT.--In Vice-Chancellor Malins's court, the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Com pany asked for an injunction to restrain the Lord Mayor and the Corporation of the City of London from taking for the purpose of the Holborn Viaduct certain land, adjoining Skinner-street, the property of the railway company. The question was whether the powers the Corporation to take land under the Holborn Valley Improvement Act were limited to the provision of a carriage-way and footway, or whether they were empowered to take sufficient for the erection of buildings on each side of the high level street. The Vice-Chancellor was clearly Jf opinion that, under the Act of 1864, the Corporation had power to take had for the erection of houses on each side of the new street, and therefore the application must be dismissed. If the effect of taking this property for the purpose was seriously to deteriorate the value of other surplus land of the railway company, it would be for a ;ury to assess the damages. FELONY BY A TASKMASTER.—At Lambeth Police-court, Tames Davis, taskmaster at the Lambeth workhouse, was charged with stealing a number of iron bedsteads, the pro perty of the guardians of the poor; and two tradesmen, named Goodfellow, were charged with receiving the same. From information received the master had the bedsteads counted, and whilst this was going on the prisoner Davis confessed that he gave seven of them to the other pri soners. The prisoners were remanded, the_ Goodfellow' being admitted to bail. , IMPORTANT TO COLLIERY PROPR IETORS .—I n th e mon t h of April last a man and a boy were shut up in a coalpit at Afon-eitha Colliery, in North Wales, for a period of eight days and seven nights and a half, by the sides of the shaft falling in ; and, although during that time they had nothing except breakfast to commence with, and some straw to eat and water to drink, yet they were ultimately both recovered alive. Proceedings under two counts have been taken at the Ruabon Petty Sessions against Mr. Robert Williams, as managing owner of the colliery—first, for permitting persons to be at work in the seam (except foi• the purpose of proving the ground, or for securing a communication for the second outlet), without providing two distinct outlets, separated by not less than ten feet of natural strata, by which means ingress and egress should be available ; and, secondly, for not having the side.; of the pit shaft securely cased or lined, is required by the Coal Mines Regulation and Inspection Act.—The magistrate decided that the full penalty of £lO should be imposed, and the amount is likely to be divided between the man and boy who were so long shut up. The second case was not pressed, the owners consenting to pay the costs. A private meeting of the largest colliery proprie tors on the western side of Dudley has beef held in that town, to consider the present prices of coal and a reduc tion in the wages of thick-coal colliers. Firms in the im mediate nvighbourbooel,Cradley, Bensnett, ICingswinford, and Malley were represented. It was determined that he present prices of coal should be maintained, and the .:olliers' wages should be reduced Gd. per day. As every reckons to make a day and a half whenever he enters a this reduction is in reality 9d. per clay " drop." The lotice will extend to a fortnight, and is to be given at once. A man named 11`Guinness, who was found ;nifty of manslaughter and sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment with hard labour, in Dublin, on Thursday, was proprietor of a house let in tenements, in which Bridget Doherty lived. He had serv4l her with a " notice to quit." She was put out, but she forced her way back into the house, her husband being away from home, M'Guinness, angry at this, entered the apartment, and, the woman being in bed, took her child, aged 7, by the hair, and threw her downstairs, IL, dragged the mother out of bed to the hearthstone, She had her infant in her arras, and he struck it with a pair of iron pincers op she head, " the brains immediately protruding," He :truck the mother also with the pincer on tuk, 41411 Pi J wed - a fortnight's rent. ROMAN AFFAIRS. (From the Roman Correspondent of the Westminster clazette) The Pope took his usual part on Thursday in the great procession of Corpus 'Domini (as we call the feast here), carrying the Blessed Sacrament all round the great Piazza, which the vast awnings scarcely protect from over whelming heat. He gave no sign of fatigue or exhaustion, however. Before the proces sion had finished passing—it takes about an hour—we had a heavy shower, which did not, however, disperse the assistant.. crowd. Its course was a little changed this year owing , to one side of the colonnade being now con verted into Zouave barracks. A temporary arcade of tastefully arranged white and red drapery supplied its place. In other respects it was much as usual, only that after the Orfanelli in their white cassocks, who take so prominent a part in the processions of Rome, came a score of small boys in black cas socks, the orphans made by the cholera last year. After them walked the representative members of the various religious orders, and of the secular clergy belonging to congrega tions and parochial and collegiate foundations. Then the Padiglioni of the Basilicas, the first (i.e., the lowest reckoninc , in processional order) being that of the Regina Cceli, the Carmelite Church of the Trastevere ; 2, Sta. Maria in Cosmedin, more popularly known as the " Bocca della verity ;" 3 and 4, Sta. Maria in Trastevere, and S. Lorenzo in Damaso, which take order of precedence of each other, by a curious custom, in alternate years ; 5, Sta. Maria Maggiore ; 6, St. Peter's ; and 7, St. John Lateran, which has two, followed by two magnificent processional crosses, one of which dates from the time of Constantine. After these came all the prelates of the Pope's household, and others bearing the mitres, tiaras, and processional crosses of the P o p e , the Senator and municipality, the vice-Cham berlain of the Church and representative members of the Roman nobility, the Grand Penitentiaries, mitred abbots, bishops, arch bishops, patriarchs and cardinals, among whom I observed Cardinal Bonaparte, looking much better than at the last great function, and Cardinal Antonelli, close in front of the Holy Father. Two prelates waving censers fob lowed, and two masters of ceremonies. Then the Pope, borne aloft, kneeling on the talanto, and bearing the Blessed Sacrament under a white and gold baldachino, them sybolical feathers waving behind him ; around, close in, the superior officers of the Guardia Nobile and of the Palatine and Swiss Guards, the Auditors and Treasurer-gene r al o f th e ,Apos tolic Chamber, the Pope's major-domo, the generals of the mendicant orde r s, th e oble Guard, with the standard of the Holy See in their midst, the Pontifical generals and their staff, and a body of soldiers, each corps having its own band. During the procession a salute of eighty guns is fired from S. Angelo. In the afternoon the English Zouaves had an audience of the Pope ; they were presented by M g r. Stonor. Sergeant Shee had the honour of presenting to him the banner mentioned in my last. He admired it briefly, and talked very ,pleasantly with the men. He spoke about England, and said he always prayed for its conversion ; also about their profession as sol diers in a holy cause, and added, smiling, " I am half inclined to come and be your captain myself. I think I should like to put you through your drill." The marriage of the Count of Caserte with Contessa Trapani came off on Monday in the Sala Regia, arranged for the occasion as a chapel, at half-past seven in the morning. Weddings always take place early here. Be fore the commencement of the Mass the be trothed were led up to the altar steps by the masters of the ceremonies, the princess being accompanied by a maid of honour ; the Pope, who had previously been kneeling at a faldstool before the altar, then advanced towards them, and preferred the formula, accepting their mutual consent, to which they answered a dis tinct Amen. The four cardinals, Pancoebian (Grand Penitentiary), De Luca, Monaco la Valetta and Grttssellini, created while the king dom of the Two Sicilies was yet in its integ rity, were witnesses to this act. The Pope then blessed the nuptial ring, and handed it to the bridegroom to confer on the bride, and the illustrious pair were then led back to a seat outside the precincts of the altar, while his Holiness began the Mass pro Sponsis. At the end of the Lord's Prayer he again met them at the altar steps, and said over them the prayers of the nuptial benediction. After this he continued the Mass, and in the course of it sent them the Pax to kiss, and gave them Communion. At the end of the office, the newly-married again kneeling before the altar, he poured out on them the sublime Benediction which the Church connects with the sacrament of marriage; and then, sitting down, addressed them on the sanctity and the duties of their new relation. He spoke in warm and feeling terms of the Royal House of Naples, and eulo gized the Spanish and Italian peoples, express ing a hope that God may be pleased ere long to deliver the latter from their present miseries, and that the wine-press of wrath in which they are now suffering so terribly may be shattered in pieces. He then read the last Gospel, and laying aside his vestments, knelt at a faldstool, while a Mass of thanksgiving was said by his chaplain, at the conclusion of which the princely pair, kneeling at his feet, returned thanks for the favour he had conferred in officiating at the ceremony. His Holiness accepted these expressions with his accustomed goodness, and renewed his congratulations and good wishes. The bridal party was subse quently entertained in the apartments of the Vatican, and then descended to pay the usual visit to the shrine of the Apostles. The Queen of Naples is not yet returned from her visit to Hungary, but the King was present, as also the Palatine Cardinals, the Count and Countess Girgenti, the Count de Bari, the Count and Countess Trapani, and several prelates and members of the Roman and Neapolitan nobility, as well as Duke Robert of Parma, who is travelling incognito under the title of Marchese Castiglione. He is to be married shortly to Princess Maria Pia, eldest sister of the King of Naples who was baptised by the Pope at Gaeta. It is said he has invited the Count de Chapubore to his wedding. It is said that this triple alliance between the branches of the house of Bourbon, and, still more, the importance popularly attached to the various new links of connection, as well as the cordial attitude assumed by other mem bers of the diplomatic body, gives some pre occupation to the French Embassy. There are not wanting politicians who think they scent a general alliance of the French together with the Spanish and Neapolitan Bourbons, and, by implication, a tacit understanding with the Courts of Northern Europe, such as was ex changed before the events of 1814. I cannot say I participate these sanguine expectations, but they are sufficiently spread to demand, at least, this passing notice. Count Giraud, a retired colonel, brother of Mgr. Giraud, whose death I mentioned last week, and who only survived him three days, leaves all his property, after payment of cer tain legacies, "to his soul." This formula implies that he wishes his fortune devoted to saying Masses for the repose of his soul. It will pass to the Fabbrica of S. Peter's,—i.e., the bß ya fund Basilica ah a tn f i or lde a constructionsarts ts maintenanceben efbenefit tt a o t h n ed connected extent repairs of fv o in aft with many it y, thousands annually. It had been judged from the model st 3 le of living adopted by both brothers, that their means were very small. It appears, however, there is about £12,000 standing in their names. The Fabbrica takes it with the proviso that if any part of it is proved to be the deposit of other persons it will be refunded. Mgr. Sagretti will succeed as Uditore della Camera. He was President of the Council which tried Fausti's case in 1863. The direction of the mad-asylum is given to THE SUN , LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 20, 1868. 111 gr. Ricci, President of the Hospital POM mission. The Pope has lately directed that two of the purest blocks of Carystian marble dug out on the Marmorata, shall be devoted to replacing such of the pilasters of St. Peter's as still re main in scagliola. No Cardinals are to be created in the ap proaching Consistory. It is expected that besides announcing the promulgation on SS. Peter and Paul's day, of the General Council for next year, the chief matter taken into ac count will be the Austrian Concordat. A pro test will probably be entered against the con duct of the Government in this matter, but worded with all possible moderation as regards the Emperor. Baron Meyssenburg is still here, and will probably remain till the end of the month. It has been said that he was charged to bear to the Pope a present from the Emperor of a magnificent missal, which has been twelve years in hand. This is not quite correct, as the missal is not yet complete. Curiously enough, it was commenced at the very time the Concordat was being signed at Vienna, and a person at Court well acquainted with the lie of political matters, is said to have observed—" The Concordat will be at an end before the missal !" There aro solemn processions of the Blessed Sacrament at one or other of the principal churches every day this octave ' • yesterday, proceeding from the Minerva, the Senator and civic dignitaries, with their train of attendants, adding their quaint costumes to the gorgeous ness of the pageant : and also at S. Agostino, where there has not been one before for thir teen years, as the church has been under re storation that time. To-day, from Sta. Maria in Via Lata, and Sta. Maria del Popolo. To morrow (Sunday), from eight or ton different churches—the grandest of all being that from S. John Lateran—as the Pope takes part in it. We have had a very bad accident this week. A party of seven or eight Canadian Zouaves went to bathe in the Tiber, near S. Paolo, in spite of its being forbidden on account of the dangerous currents. One of them, who could swim a little, got embarrassed by a current, the others, who could not swim at all, were powerless to help him; a Roman civilian hastened to his assistance, but the current was too much for him, and he was obliged to relinquish his hold to secure his own escape, so that the poor fellow was lost. Thirty new volunteers from Canada are on their way out, and are expected to have landed at Havre to-day. It is thought the Pope will go for a short villeggiatura to Frascati this summer. The Villa Torlonia has been put at his disposal. At the ordination last Saturday, at St. John Lateran, there were forty-four priests ordained, twenty-two deacons and twenty-one snbdeacons, and forty-one admitted to minor orders. I learn by a private letter from St. Omer that a subscription has been got up in the Aeighbourhood cf Aire, to erect a suitable memorial over the remains of Lieutenant Arthur Guillemin. THE ACTUAL STATE OF ITALY. The Times, in an article on the present state of Italy, the first part of which we give in another page, says :—" We do not know any other country in Europe where the statistics of crime produce such fearful results." Mur der, violent robbery, forgery, are common crimes, not perpetrated under pressure of dis tress, or by the ignorant, but by men of the middle classes, merchants, lawyers, doctors, agents of police, the very men who have been foremost in carrying out the revolution, in attacking religion, and pillaging the churches. It is this corrupt and anti-Christian class, in whose hands the Government of Italy now is, that furnishes this extraordinary contingent of crime. The very men who constitute the municipalities and direct the revolution are those, as the Times itself in forms us, who look on with the greatest unconcern at the perpetration of crimes which, in civilized coun tries, would rouse public indignation. A man, in fulfilment of his duty as public prosecutor, is murdered at Ravenna in full daylight out of vengeance, and we are told not "a single member of the municipality had the grace to join the mournful procession of a few of his colleagues who carried his body to the railway station, in sign of regret or protest against the crime." The sympathy of the middle classes, who are, if not more tempted, at least more guilty of these mercenary and violent crimes than any other class in the community, is not with law and order, but with pillage and assassination. Their desire to grow rich a n d p ower f u l h as been quickened into a morbid and almost irre sistible passion ; the relaxation of public law and morality has operated with a terrible effect on those most nearly concerned with the re volutionary movement which, during the last five or six years, has brought Italy to the verge of moral ruin as of material bankruptcy. The public war which the governing class has carried on against the Church has loosened the bonds of religion in private life. It is not our part to expose here the gross immorality which every traveller in Italy reports as dis gracing social life, and changing the moral aspect of the country. Outward and violent manifestations of lawlessness soon follow in ternal corruption, and when this unrestraint takes the form, as it is now doing in Italy, •of violent attacks on the person and property, the representatives of decent and outward obedience to the moral law and to the respect for property are shocked. The spoliation of monastic property, the pillaging of the posses sions of the Church, the attacks upon the clergy, the abuse of religion, have not been slow in producing their natural results. The men who were the greatest enemies of the Pope and of the Church, are now the greatest enemies of social order. The' Times itself, which long supported the Revolution, and was jubilant over the overthrow of the Church in Italy, and of the approaching emancipation of men's minds from the thraldom of religion, is now terrified that the maxims which it preached against the Papacy, are being put in practice in the warfare which social disorganization is car rying on against the upholders of order and of the rights of property. The passions of men are not so easily controlled ; once let them loose and you can no longer say " So far shall you go and no farther." European Liberalism cheered lustily while the Revolution went in its fury up against the Papacy ; but now it shrieks in terror when it sees the Revolution, repulsed from R ome , fli ng itself in violence upon Italy itself, devouring its substance, murdering and pillaging, until the public credit of the Revolution is shaken in Europe. The Times mak es a d es p er ate effort in the last part of the article in question to remove the im pression the series of crimes and the.profound corruption which it speaks of as constituting the actual state of Italy to-day, would convey as to the corrupting effects of the Revolution, by stating broadly that Italy was disgraced by similar crimes under the Government of the Popes. It even ventured, in order to give a colouring o f t ru th to assertions which are only thrown as dust to blind the eyes of such as may choose to be blinded, to state " that cardinals and delegates used to be shot and stabbed in those cities of the Romagna as freely and safely as prefects and magistrates are at the present day." This comparison of the murders which are now committed under the rule of the Revolution in the cities of the Romagna with the alleged murders of cardinals and delegates in the period preceding the revolution, brought from Sir George Bowyer a speedy contradiction of the alleged assassinations of cardinals and delegates. This contradiction is not fairly met by a letter which appeared the next day in the rifles, apparently from Gallenga, signed " An Italian," and dated frOm the Athenaeum Club, and in which it was affirmed, not that murders of cardinals and d e l ega t es h a d b een comm i tte d with the impunity which now attends mur ders, but that two attcm ots at killing had been made thirty or forty years ago. Precise facts as to the actual state of Italy under its pre sent immoral and irreligious Government are by no means counterbalanced by vague state ments put forward by anonymous correspon dents as to its condition under Papal and Catholic rule.—Westininster Gazette. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. (From the Anglo-American Times.) The limes yesterday published a letter from the Savannah correspondents of a well-known Liver pool firm, dated June 2, on the prospects of the cotton crop. They believe it cannot exceed that of last year, and fear they will not for the next ten years again see a three-million crop. The only figures given are those of some parties from Co lumbus, who state 1,600,000 bales to be the mininzunz, and 2,000,000 bales the maximum production of the season. They mention it, as a well ascer tained ;fact that negro field labour has dwindled to nearly one-half ; the women and chil dren not being now so employed, which we hold to be a good sign. They complain of the negroes squatting through the woods on patches, and living along river courses on fish. They fear the labourers will be withdrawn for electioneering purposes, and they condemn the policy of elevating the negro above the white man. With regard to the proportion of land planted, about one-third of the Mississippi bottoms are under cultivation, and, with the exception of Texas they calculate the fall ing off to the west of the river to be fully a quar ter. In Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi many large plantations worked last year are now idle, mainly from the loss sustained by the planters, who were compelled by their necessities to sell the produce before the rise in price. The crop is later than last season, retarded by the heavy rains and cold weather. The army worm in Louisiana and the caterpillar in Florida, it is said, have made their appearance, and if so they are two months earlier than last year. Many tracks of land have been sown with corn in consequence of the de struction in 18G7 caused by these insects. But the danger is in their early appearance, as in July and August they do little harm, often good, by strip ping the leaves off the plant, and allowing the sun the better to mature the bolls, all usually lost being the top crop, which is uncertain at best. A Southern paper states that a train was stopped by the multi tude of the worms crossing the track while moving southwards through Mississippi in a mass two miles broad. The nomination of Gen. Schofield was followed by his installation, June 1. He was accompanied to the War-office by the President and by old " ad interim," that he might receive the office from him instead of from Gen. Townsend, to whom Stanton had given charge, so that by no formality should Stanton's right be recognized or that of Thomas as acting Secretary be disputed. The question, therefore, remains as before, the Senate maintaining a position in opposition to that held by the President. The voting of the " recreants" on the nomination was awaited with interest, and Trumbull, Ross, Van Winkle, II Alderson, and Fowler went with the Democrats against the adoption of the preamble ; Fessenden and Grimes were absent. Andrew Johnson was highly delighted when he stood vic torious in the War-office, and made no effort to con ceal the gratification he experienced from his triumph over his enemy, Stanton. While the President was crowing on the spot from which he had unearthed Stanton after so long and varied a contest, the Senate was passing a re solution of thanks to the late War Minister for his able and patriotic discharge of his duties. The votes of the anti-Impeachment Republican Sena tors were again carefully scanned, and it was found that Ross, Henderson, and Fowler joined the Democrats against the resolution. A Senator endeavoured to include Chief Justice Chase in the vote of thanks for his dignified and impartial con duct during the trial, but this was rejected. The reason given for refusing to confirm the appoint ment of Mr. Stanbery as Attorney-General was that he had declined to argue in the M'Ardle Habeas Corpus case—that is, to defend the legisla tion of Congress though a Government officer. Four Republican Senators only voted with the Democrats for his nomination. Mr. M'Culloch has forbidden the sailing from New Orleans of the ironclads o,zeota and Catawba, which were intended to be sol 1 to Peru for use against Spain. The advices from Lima were to the 14th May, and apprehensions were then entertained of a war between Chili and Peru, and if so it is not improbable that these vessels would have been used against the Sister Republic. Mr. M'Culloch's action is in strong contrast to that of the English Government during the American War. On Wednesday, at Paris, at the sitting of the Legislative Body, the bill proposing to give greater development to the postal service in the Indian, Chinese, and Japanese seas was adopted by 191 votes against 2. The Chinese Embassy, during its few days resi deuce at Washington, were the " lions" of the capi tal, furnishing pictures for Frani; Leslie, material for penny-a-liners, and objects of curiosity for so ciety. Mr. Seward was quite in his element ; for when not lion-taming with his skilled and trenchant pen, he likes to be exhibiting the animals that he has drawn to the seat of Government. On the sth instant he introduced them to the President at a private interview. Mr. Burlingame appears to be a great favourite with the Celestials. They return in a few days to New Yo►k, where great hospitali ties await them from the wealthy citizens. Already they have inspected the " crack" New York Regi ment, the 7th National Guard. Mr. Burlingame anticipates great results from his mission, and the growing intimacy between the Pacific States and the Celestial Empire cannot fail to have lastinc , and important effects. The 30th May is the day set apart for decorating the graves of those who fell during the war in de fence of the Union. Business at Washington was suspended, and about 5,000 pedestrians and 500 ve hi c l e s made their way to Arlington Heights, where waggon-loads of evergreens and spring flowers were distributed to the decorating com mittees, and strewn by orphans on the soldiers' graves. In the procession was General Grant, walking with his little daughter Nellie. At Long Island Cemeteries crosses of camellias, crowns of tuber roses and lilies, pots of japonicas, baskets, and bouquets were supplied in great abundance by the people. At many cemeteries there was a reli gious service. At the Barracks Cemetery, below St. Louis, Missouri, above 11,000 graves of Union soldiers were decorated, and the same honour was paid to the 600 graves of the rebel soldiers. New Haven, alone of the principal New England towns, failed to observe the day. One of the first effects of the failure of Impeach ment is to have aroused in many of the mean whites down South the hopes of a return to the pleasant days when they could " wallop their niggers" and " shoot any cuss on sight." The consequence is that many of the coloured people are having a hard time of it ; but as the general testimony is that the intelligence of the Southern States is enlisted in favour of peace and re-union, we may hope that this manifestation of feeling is but momentary. Even Mr. Sumner is beginning to think of remov ing the political disabilities of Southerners, and the following is a reply to a South Carolinian :—" 1 have your letter of the 19th in reference to the removal of your political disabilities. I am not sure that the time has yet come to make exceptions to our general policy in individual cases ; to do so would be to open the door to innumerable applica tions, and once open, it would be difficult to shit it. I hope to meet such cases as your's by some general enactment, and as soon as the condition of the country will permit, I shall be the first to advocate the removal of all Uisabilities under which you la bour at present?' The man of - the President's choice for Minister to Great Britain was not Senator Reverdy Johnson, but General M''Clellan. His name was sent to the Senate, but the; Committee on Foreign Affairs in structed Mr. :Sumner to report against it. There are personal re asons why it should suit the General, but not suit tree nation. M'Clellan has developed a decided taBtl3, as the Springfield Republican says, "for living abroad, and would be nicely accoinmo dated by the appointment and the salary appertain ing to the Court of St. James." Tile Senate judged rightly in thinking that an Ambassador fresh from contact with American life and American sentiment would be better qualified to do justice to the nation. His diplomatic quality was never tested but once, and that was by his letter to President Lincoln from Ilarrison's Landing. George C. Gorham, of California, has been elected to the Secretaryship of the Senate in succession to Colonel Forney. He is of Connecticut origin, still young, and of weight in California, as his nomina tion for Governor last year divided the party, and led to its defeat. Several Republican Senators ob jected to him on account of his failure, which was alleged to have been in consequence of misconduct. It is possible that the party desire to remove a stumbling-block in the way of Republican unity in the Pacific State, and to console Mr. Gorham for his defeat. He is clever and varied in experience, having been an editor, lawyer, clerk of Judge Field's Court, and leader of the lobby in California. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, stood next ; Sam. Wil kinson, the journalist, received some votes, and three were cast for Major Poore. A ballot was not taken for Executive Clerk, but the names of F. M. Morris of Connecticut, Flagg of Vermont, General Vickers of Nebraska Territory, Hamlin of New Hampshire, and Branscomb of Missouri were pre sented. Other changes in the under officers are in contemplation, with regard to Mr. de Witt Clarke and one of the chief assistants. General Schofield does not resign his position in the army, leave of absence being granted to him, extending over his occupancy of the Secretaryship of War. He will receive his army pay, and his staff will be given places in the War-office, but not many other changes there will be effected. The President was urged at the last moment by some of his injudicious advisers to cancel the appoint ment. They state that Andrew Johnson does not realize the strength acquired by his victory over Congress. had he taken this advice he might quickly and disagreeably have realized it. The Senate has distinctly expressed the opinion, in sanctioning General Schofield's nomination, that the President's removal of Mr. Stanton was illegal and unconstitutional, and the position would have been an extraordinary one had Stanton resolutely refused to resign. From California we learn that the shipments of wheat for the harvest year ending June 30 will equal that of the preceding year. At the close of April the shipments had reached 229,500 tons ; and, considering that in May and June of last year the shipments were 35,000 tons,' if that be equalled, the total for 1868 will reach 2(34,500, or 10,000 more than for the last harvest year. Ai wheat was coming in slowly it is possible that the total will not exceed that of last year, but what is of more importance are the prospects for the coming harvest, which are so favourable, and the breadth of ground sown so much greater that a crop far in excess may reasonably be expected. The rates of freight, via Cape Horn, have within three year; risen from 50 to 75 per cent. ; yet so well adapted is California for growing grain, so improved the facilities for handling the crop, that it bids fair to become one of the greatest of wheat exporting coun tries. It is established by a careful examination of the figures that San Francisco can export with a larger profit to the grower than Chicago, and it is not improbable that the value of the wheat grown will soon equal that of the gold extracted iu this 'Pacific State. Mr. Sumner, on the 3d instant, offered resolutions in the Senate which were laid aside for future action, but which, we imagine, will be indefinitely post poned. They assert the right of the people to pass a judgment on the vote of Senators as well in the exercise of judicial power as in their legislative capa city. The preamble declares that pretension has been put forth to the effect that the vote of a Senator on Impeachment is so far different in cha racter from his vote on any other question that the people have no right to criticise or consider it; "and whereas, such pretension, if not discJunte nanced, is calculated to impair that freedom of judg ment which belongs to the people on all things done by their Representatives ; therefore, to remove all doubts on this question, we declare constitutional the rights of the people in cases of Impeachment." Ile first resolution maintains that the Supreme Court has not escaped this ju Ignient in deciding political questions, as in the " Dred Scott Deci sion," and that, therefore, even if the Senate in its judicial capacity be regarded as a Court, it cannot be exempt. The second resolution states that the Senate is never a Court, but is always a Senate ; that a proceeding by Impeachment is not according to law, nor followed by l ega l pun i s h ment, b u t po litical from beginning to end. The third resolution assumes that as the Senators are always under oath, the supplementary oath taken for au Impeachment Trial has no effect in changing the character of the Senate as a political body, who are equally responsible to the people for their votes, it being the constitutional right of the people at all times to sit in judgment on their Representatives. Senator Sumner does not say where and how the people are to sit, what the nature of the evidence is to be, or any of the other little formularies by which such assemblies are regulated. He may be sure that the people who are fond of discussing the acts of their servants and neighbours will discuss their Representatives under all circumstances, and he certainly cannot complain of the attention the " recreants" have received ; but we are not yet in possession of the people's decision, for they have bawled so loudly condemnation and approval, that we cannot tell which voice was the loudest, but we do know that ignorance of the circumstances is no bar to strong opinions. On the Ist June Mr. Bowen, the Republican can didate, was elected Mayor of Washington by a small majority. As the Democrats have a majority in the City Council, the patronage by the recent Act of Congress remains in their hands. The capi tal was the scene of a disgraceful Negro riot during the election. On the previous night several Afri cans from Virginia entered the shanties in Four teenth-street, and were registered and supplied with ballots. At daylight on the Ist June they proceeded to the polling place, but in the evening it was shown that the Democrats had a small ma jority. Next morning it was announced that errors had been discovered, the rectification of which gave the Republicans a majority of 74. That night the negroes marched in procession, headed by a band, to serenade the Mayor elect. In front of the office of the Washington Chronicle John W. Forney, Mayor Morse, and others addressed them. Mr. Forney's speech was highly incendiary, .and the negroes, inspired by bad liquor and his remarks, broke into riot, forced an entry into two drug shops, two restaurants, and one grocery, and con sumed all the whisky they could obtain. A white man named Faulkner was killed near the National Hotel in Pennsylvania Avenue, and Snow and Spaulding met the same fate in the First Ward. Hamlin was so seriously cut and maimed in the Third Ward that his life is despaired of, and many others were badly wounded. An attempt was made to sack the office of the National Intelli gencer, but was frustrated by the police. Threats continuing to be made, and the riots, extending over the 3d, the President ordered troops to be sent for to protect public property. As there is a Democratic majority in the City Council, an attempt will be made to unseat Mayor Bowen. The Council were to organize on the Bth to count the votes, and com pare them with the checked lists on the registry, when it is supposed that frauds will be discovered sufficient to change the complexion of the election, and make the Democratic candidate, Mr. Given, successful. The election in Oregon came off on the Ist June for a member of Congress, a State Legislature, and county officers ; and in a full vote, after a sharp contest, J. S. Smith, Democrat, was chosen C3II - by a majority little short of 2,000, most of the Legislative and county officers being of the Conservative stripe. The Republican Governor Woods holds office till 1870, and Senator Williams retains his seat till 1871, but, judging fro.n this re sult, both will then be replaced by Democrats. At the election in 1866 the Republican, Rufus Mal lory, carried the State by a majority of 553, and the party secured iu the Legislature a majority of seven, while in the preceding election, in 1864, the Republican majority was 3,000. The Radicals say that Andrew Johnson has so distributed the Federal patronage on the Pacific coast that there is litt., e prospect of Republican success till the general Go vernment is in their hands, and the Conservativ es are highly delighted, declaring the result to indica° the general vote of the Pacific States in the fag , " the first gun for Grant." Weston, the pedestrian, began a match on We& nesday, June 3, to walk 100 miles in twenty-three how' It is said to have been for 62,500, and the chosen gro und was the Riverside Park, Boston. He started at half-Pa st four o'clock in the a ft ernoon, an d did apparent ly well until the latter end of the ono hundred miles. Moil° time was out all but eight minutes he had nine miles and a half still to do. A mile a minute would not then 113V° saved him, so he gave it up.

A gentleman who has recently visited CeY lo . ° speaks thus of the oldest living missionary of the Ame r !' can board:—" The venerable Dr. Spaulding is still at 1 1 ' 5 work though now seventy-six years of age.

Daniel Sylvester Tuttle, just elected Epis copal Bishop fo the diocese of Missouri, is cumparativ el i a young man, being only 31 years of ag e , b u t i s spoken 0 f as a learned, popular, awl eloquent divine, possessing ' l3 ' common energy an .l ability. He was elected a missionari bishop for Montana territory in 1866, at a special ineetia of the house of bishops, but on account of his ago was 0 0$ eligible for consecration until last year. The fact of bit being elected a bishop before the prescribed age is evidence of the high estimation in which he is held. Ja e has been residing in Salt Lake City for the past yea r, where he is said to have discharged his duti e s in a Ws"4. satisfactory manner. It is generally expected that b°, will accept his new position, and the diocese of Miss)urt have reason to rejoice in the selection of so brilliant an i able a bishop to preside over them. All public buildings were closed and busill o generally suspended at Worcester, Western Massachuset ts, during the funeral of ox-Governor Lincoln, on Tuesday' Juno 2. The Rev. Dr. George E.

The trial of Jefferson Davis has been again pos t " ponod, and no one now expects that it will ever be held. The United States Circuit Court, Chief Justice Chase, Pr a. siding, opened at Richmond on W e d nes d a y, J un e 3, sad the Chief Justice called the case of Mr. Davis. Mr. All' derson, of Mississippi, rose and read an argument for post ponement until October next, signed by Messrs. Evar t6 and O'Connor, of counsel for Mr. Davis. Governor NVellg, for the prosecution, said that on account of the illness 0f the District Attorney's wife, and the absence of IL I ' Evart., the case could not be well gone on with, and he agreed to the postponement. The counsel for the defence, Mr. Anderson, then moved a postponement until next term' which was granted, the Chief Justice saying that had the trial been in May of last year or now, it would have bee ° more convenient for him, but be would attend next tams if possible in view of his other duties. The postponeme nt is until the fourth Monday of November next, at time the witnesses, including General Robert E. Lee, wel l bound over to appear, Mr. Davis's bail being renewed. Air' Davis was not present in court, the understanding arrive d at on both sides for a pcstponement having rendered Ili° appearance unnecessary. At the removal of the remains of Stephen A' Douglas to their new mausoleum at Chicago on the sevent h anniversary of his death the coffin was opened, and thl face of the Senator found to be in a remarkable state o' preservation, almost as natural as when buried seven yea rs ago, excepting that the eves were sunken, the nose con; tracted, and the surface of the forehead somewhat indent s ': or pitted, but the complexion was very fair, the contour o' the head and face apparently unchanged, and the exprert, sion quite natural and plainly recognizable. The ha, l looked glossy a,ni black as ever, and the raiment as no: and tidy as when first put on, not presenting the least 0 1 ; 1 0 1 deuce of mildew or discoloration. Lieutenant-Gens Sherman was among the pall-bearers. The sarcophag ll „'; which will stand on the floor of the tomb, is of icbDa Vermont marble, oblong in form, seven feet long an four feet high.
