SPIRIT Ok' THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, The Times thinks Mr. Childers proves his charge in his able speech of Thursday. The force is undeniable of Mr. Childers' suggestion, that the increased outlay which gives the army more veteran soldiers, a better class of recruits, and weapons of precision, renders it possible to balance the expenditure by reducing the number of men, without les. Bening the military strength of the empire. But Mr. Childers' principle itself, that each new charge should have its new economy, is stronger that any particular instance. It is the rule of a well-ordered household, and applies equally to a State. The failure in an Administration to 'recognise its authority would be unpardonable at any time, but it is especially offensive in a Government which has forced itself so persistently upon the country as a model of administrative capacity. The favourite excuse of all Governments for extravagance is that parliament drives them towards it. That is so. Every private member or section of members has in charge some costly crotchet of his or their constituents, and will advocate it as one of the novelties which are necessary. But it is the primary duty of Government, and only secondarily that of private members, to criticise inexorably both old and new claimants for a share in the expenditure. A weak Government, however, has not the courage to make enemies by lopping off unfruitful branches of expenditure, and an inexperienced Government is inclined to be the worst offender itself. The present Government may plead that the Liberal Government could not, any more than itself, have saved in the last two years. But a nation has a rough way of inferring the future from the past in the matter of choosing a statesman, and is apt to fancy that in finance good fortune and sagacity are never far apart. With scarcely an exception, observes the Morning Herald, the revising barristers have shown themselves .laudibly anxious to favour enfranchisement, whenever none but technical objections can be urged against it. The most important of these have been cases in which overseers had failed to describe fully the qualification of each claimant, contenting themselves with inserting a description at the head of a column, and putting " ditto, ditto," or a row of dots, against every other name. Now, as neither a " ditto " nor a dot is a qualifica tion, every voter so described ought, in strictness, to have been struck out, but as no one insisted upon it, the revisors stretched a point, and allowed the names to stand. In the same direction went the decision of Mr. Bathurst at Hackney, that a lodger who occupies a bed-room, with the use of a sitting-room, is entitled to vote in respect of the former only, provided the same be of sufficient value. Mr. Bacon, at Chelsea, took the opposite view, and disallowed the claims of lodgers who had bedrooms of their own for which they paid more than a qualifying rent because they took their meals with the family in another part of the premises. But it seems rather hard to say that no lodger shall have a vote unless he chooses to take his breakfast in bed and his dinner on his dressing-table. Whilst the Telegraph regards the recommendations of the commissioners as superseded by recent events, it still recognises much that is valuable in the report itself. Its information as to the property of the Churchis particularly welcome at the present stage of the discussion. The details render it evident that there can be no insuperable difficulty in dealing with the various sources of revenue. ! The commissioners remark that " the property of the Church has been derived from various sources before and since the Reformation ;" and they insert in an appendix all the particulars which they have been able to obtain respecting the amounts obtained from royal or parliamentary grants, or from gift by private individuals. Now, surely there cannot be any real diffi culty in separating the donations of private persons from the grants made by Parliament ; or in distinguishing between the product of free-will offerings by individuals — the purpose of which can be established from the interpre tation that any legal tribunal puts upon the terms of the deed of gift—and those revenues which represent endow ments made by the nation, or imposts levied through legislative sanction. Again, as regards the tithe rent charge—which is generally assumed to be a distinct though indirect burden on the agriculturalist occupiers--it is pos sible that the seventeenth recommendation of the com missioners, to the effect that owners of land subject to rentcharge should be empowered to redeem their liability, may suggest a mode of meeting one of the diffi culties raised by disestablishment. When the question of disendowment comes to assume body and shape, it may be found that the gradual redemption and cepitalisirg of the rentc'aarge may provide a ready means of dealing with vested interests, and at the same time cf conferring mate rial benefit on Ireland. These results, however, are as yet in the future. Alth,ugh the suggestions in the report come too late to furnish the practical solution of the problem, the document will indirectly furnish great assis tance both during the debate on the Irish Church and the shaping of the final legislative measure. The Daily News says the report is a monument of con scientious, but wasted labour. The House of Commons has taken the matter into its own hands ; and the country will presently deal with it on princip:es and aims very different from those which, iu accordance with their in6tructions, the commissioners were bound to regard. These gentlemen were practically asked to devise means for making Protestant ascendancy snore secure in Ireland, and fur giving perpetuity to the exclusive privileges of a small minority of the population. The Ifouse of Commons, reflecting, we believe, the deliberate purpose of the people of the United Kingdom, has resolved that the ecclesiastical privileges of the minority shall cease, and that religious equality shall be substituted for Protestant ascendancy. If this be the national temper and purpose, the recom mendations of the report are a simple irrelevance. Whether the recommendations of the commis. sioners will be adopted by the Government, the Government itself probably does not yet know. No .one can conceive—not even the bishops and deans whose sees and deaneries are spared—that the plan would close controversy even for a moment. It would renew and embitter strife, and keep open a question any settlement of which they must feel to be better for them than pro tracted uncertainty. But, whatever may be thought of the scheme in Irish ecclesiastical circles, it is scarcely within the field of serious political discussion. It is as obsolete as Lord Russell lately found Mr. Pitt's plan of paying the priests to be. The Post concludes from the speech of the King of Prussia that the line of the Maine represents the limitation of a principle which cannot in the nature of things be cir cumscribed. The Maine, passed as it has been by military conventions and commercial contracts, is a mere paper boundary. German unity exists in an indisputable shape, and the fact is better than the name. The Germans have bound themselves together, and a bond which consists with their interests can be maintained by their forces. Menaced with aggression from without, or with intervention in their internal affairs, their patriotism would rise as a wave and sweep over all that remains of an illusory time-bargain. When the German powers were permitted to compass the dismember ment of Denmark this result should have been foreseen ; but, now that the principle involved in the annexation of the Elbe Duchies to Germany has been conceded, it would be illogical and more than a political fault to attempt to impede its development. On the subject of machinery the Congress passed a reso lution to the effect that " the development of machinery creates the material conditions necessary for the supersed ing of the wages system by a truly sccial system of pro duction." The Standard wishes the Congress had spoken more definitely on this point. It did not, it is true, 1 directly propose to confiscate capital and bestow it upon the workman, nor did it air any of those pretty theories about the possession of property of any kind being theft, with which the world has long been familiar. Still, it did not say straightforwardly and bluntly that the capital required to carry out the resolution we have quoted waslo come from the savings of the working man, and from those savings only. Hence (in a former article) we felt it in cumbent on us to insist all the more strongly upon a point of pkimary importance. The discussions which have since been held on the subject of private property iu land more than justify our caution and our protests. It is the veriest sophistry in the world to draw any distinction between the right of absolute ownership in land and the right of absolute ownership in any other species of property. Con sidering the period in the world's life and that of human civilisation at which we have now arrived, and the number of times that all land, in Europe at least, has changed hanks, it can honestly be regarded in no other light than that in which we are bound to look at any other accumu lation of the results of man's industry. This being the case, if capital can fairly be taken away from its possessor, either in a lump sum or in the form of taxation, in order to bestow it upon a body of artisans, land no doubt can be fairly taken away for the same purpose. But if such a proceeding would be downright robbery. the first case, it would equally be downright r obber y in t he second. That is why we should so much like to have had an un mistakeable opinion from the Congress as to the right or wrong of ridding the capitalist of his accumulated savings. Another quarter of the year, says the Daily News, is drawing to a close without that revival in trade which has been so long and so anxiously locked for. For many years the autumn has been regarded as the time when commer cialuctivity is most likely to recommence. especially after a protracted period of distrust and stagnation. Equally in 1868 as in 1867 these hopes present little chance of fufil meet. At certain intervals a few signs have appeared which promised a gradual awakening from the present lethargy. Thus far they have, on the other hand, been productive of nothing but disappointment. The repn.ts from the manufacturing districts afford conclinive proof that the business of our great industrial centres is yet far from recovering its former healthy tone. 'The position of the London money market again shows how little capital is needed. Money is coming in from all quarters, and there is no outlet for its satisfactory employment. Merchants and manufacturers refrain from borrowing money, since they cannot profitaLly use it. A formidable anti appa rently irremovable drawback to the revival of confidence rests in the continued tension of political affairs. Scarcely a day elapses without some peaceful reassurance, sufh ciently alarming in itself, and safe to be followed by a , 1 warlike article or speech on the morrow. These tactics only serve to prolong the uncertainty of suspense ; and uncertainty, as we all know. is fatal to the prosperity of commerce. LORD DERBY ON THE IRISH CHURCH, The following correspondence appears in the Standard : " Knowsley, Sept. 15, 1868. "Dear Sir James,—l have just read a speech delivered by you as chairman of a public meeting in support of Mr. Gladstone's contemplated disestablishment and disendow meat of the Protestant Church in Ireland, in which I find the following passage :-- 1 They had, even in Lord Derby's time, in 1834, ten bishoprics suppressed by him, and twenty-five per cent. of the tithes given to the landlords in Ireland. That was done by the will of the Legislature, and with the sanction of the late Tory Premier, by an act exactly corresponding in its character and objects to that which was at present contemplated in regard to the Irish Church.' Assuming this to be a correct report, and being sure that you are incapable of intentional misrepresentation, I may be allowed to refresh your memory by a reference to facts, which will, I think, con vince you that in the above statement you have been led into more than one material error. It is quite true that in 1833 (not 1834) I carried an Act by which ten Irish bishopri were prospectively suppressed ; but it is also true that every shilling of the income of those sees was vested in commissioners to be applied exclusively to ecclesiastical purposes, and mainly to the erection of new churches and the improvement of the condition of the parochial clergy. What possible similarity can there be between the 'character and objects' of such a measure, and of one which confiscates, and applies to secular pur poses, the entire property of the Establishment? Let me add that in the following year I quitted the Government of Lord Grey rather than be a party to a measure which recognised the principle of the alienation of Church pro perty, which Mr. Gladstone is seeking to carry out to the utmost extent. "It may be admitted that the other Act to which you refer, by which 25 per cent. was paid to the landlords, was *an exorbitant sum to demand in consideration of the transfer of liability for tithe rentcharge from their tenants to themselves ; but even that measure affords no justifica tion for Mr. Gladstone's. It was of the nature of an insurance, extravagant no doubt in amount, by which the clergyman obtained a better security for the receipt of a smaller income. But be that as it may, lamin no way responsible for it ; I neither passed it, nor sanctioned it. It was carried by the Whig Government of Lord J. Russell, not only after I had ceased to be a member of the Government, but after the defeat of the short-lived Administration of Sir Robert Peel in 1835. The mea sure which I had carried on this subject was of a very different character ; it transferred the liability pro spectively, as each lease or tenancy fell in from the tenant to the landlord, without any deduction whatever, but it allowed a drawback of eleven per cent. to every landlord who should anticipate his legal liability by assuming it at once ; an allowance not more than equivalent to the cost of 'collection and the risk, which in those days was not incon siderable. " I have not been in the habit of noticing any misrepre sentations of my public conduct, and if in this instance I have departed from my usual course, I have done so from an unwillingness that you should remain under your present misapprehension, and from a conviction that, after reading the above, you will be satisfied that, whatever else may be said in favour of Mr. Gladstone's contemplated measure, its character and objects' do not only not exactly correspond with,' but are directly at variance with those of any Act which has ever received my ' sanction.' " The matter is of little importance as affecting the merits of the question ; but, personally, I hope I am not presuming too much upon your candour in expecting from you an acknowledgment that my authority, whatever may be its importance, cannot fairly be adduced hi support a measure to which I entertain, on principle, the stronger' possible objections. "As your speech was made at a public meeting, you will not, I hope, think it unreasonable that, unless you render it unnecessary, I should reserve the right of making equally public this letter and any answer which you may send me.—l am, dear Sir James, yours truly, " Sir J. K. Shuttleworth, Bart." "DEBBY. " Barton, Kirkby Lonsdale, Sept. 17, 1868. "Dear Lord Derby,—Your letter, dated the 15th instant, and addressed to Gawthorpe, reached me this morning. "I hope to reply in harmony with the courtesy which gives me credit for being incapable of intentional mis representation. The object of my speech was to shew how great and various have been the changes in the appropriation of ecclesiastical property in every part of the United Kingdom, and that those changes have — where they have expressed the will of the Legislature —in no degree whatever shaken the security of private property, whether the revenues were redistributed within the churches affected, or transferred to other religious bodies, or secularised. " I adduced from memory, among other examples, the measures by which the Irish bishoprics were suppressed, and 25 per cent. of the Irish tithes were given to the land lords. I made your lordship responsible for both those Acts. For my immediate objects, the suppression of the Irish bishoprics, and the appropriation of their revenues to other ecclesiastical purposes, is a sufficient illustration of the exercise of the will of the Legislature for a just pur pose, without disturbance to the security of private property. " But I was in error, if, in speaking of this appropria-' tion, I said that it exactly corresponded in its character and objects with the proposal of ➢Tr. Gladstone, for it was confined to a redistribution of the revenues within the Irish Church. My justification is, that my argument was founded on a much broader basis than the distinc tions between ecclesiastical and private property ; and this led me, in the brief and incidental allusion which I made to your lordship's measure, to overlook a difference between them and Mr. Gladstone's proposals which was immaterial to my argument. "As respects the amount of the drawback allowed the landlord who should anticipate his legal liability by as suming it at once, I confess that in the hurry of speaking I confounded the measure which your lordship carried with that which received the assent of the Legislature at a later date. Both Acts were based on the assumption hat the State might give to the landlord a sum equivalent to the cost of collection. " I shall rejoice that your lordship should make public this correspondence, as nothing could he further from my intentions than to misrepresent you.—l am, dear Lord Derby, yours truly, " JAMES P. KAY SiItiTTLEWORTM :` The Earl of Derby, K.G." LAW AND POLICE. --~ -- - ROBBERIES AT NEWGATE MARKET. —TWO young men nave been charged at the Guildhall with stealing horses and carts from Newgate Market. They were remanded by the magistrate, after hearing the evidence. This style of theft seems to be becoming very general. CHARGE OF FORGERY AND HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Matthews, the butcher, who was charged before the Taunton magistrates with forging a letter purporting to be written by Mr. A. Reeves, a solicitor, at Taunton, whereby he induced the bailiffs in possession of his property to leave his house, and with afterwards assaulting one of them, rendering him insensible, and stealing from him, a man named Charles Lake, a bill of sale for £llO, the property of Mr. Reeves, was discharged after exami nation on Saturday amidst the applause of the court. The men were proved to have been drunk, and Lake to have lost the deed. It is announced that the Attorney-General for Ire land is to be appointed to the judgeship in bankruptcy, vacant by the death of Mr. Berwick, who perished in the Aber gele catastrophe. The office is by no means so dignified or so valuable as those which have fallen to the learned gen tleman's predecessors. Mr. Whites i de obtained the post of Chief Justice, Mr. Walsh that of Master of the Rolls, .nd Mr. Chatterton that of Vice-Chancellor. DEPARTURE OF TIIE ENGLISH VOLUNTEERS FOR linussELs.—The main body of the representatives of the volunteer force who are going to contend at the Tir National at Brussels took their departure for Belgium on Saturday evening from the Bishopsgate station, the route being via Harwich and Antwerp. Nearly all the volunteers were in uniform, and many—in fact, a large pro portion—were recognised as " Wimbledon men," oryegi mental crack shots. By far the greater number were mem bers of Metropolitan Rifle, Artillery, and Engineer corps. MR. GLADSTONE AND THE VICAR. OF LEAMINGTON. —The Rev. John Craig, vicar of Leamington, publishes in the Leamington Chronicle of Satu s rday, two long letters he has addressed to the Right lion. W. E. Gladstone with the view of getting from that gentleman a pledge that he will propose thtt re►noval of all State clerical disabilities, so that the clergy shall be eligible as members of Parlia ment. To a former letter from the rev. gentleman Mr. Gladstone replied: I shall not fail to give the subject of your letter a careful attention when it comes before Parliament ; but I fear I cannot offer any further pledge." To the vicar's letter of September 12, Mr. W. If. Gladstone replies : " llawarden Castle, Chester, September 15, 1868.—Rev. Sir, my father desires me to acknowledge the favour of your letter of the 12th, and to say in reply that, on referring to his public declarations in the House of Commons, yOu will find them perfectly explicit, and, he believes, satisfactory to you, if he under stands you right. But it is not possible for him, as you will see, to enter into separate explanations, which might tQ InbUtideratandings.", THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1868. ROMAN AFFAIRS, (From the Correspondent of the Westminster Gazette.) ROME, Sept. 11. The political situation of Italy grows more and more menacing every day, and the Go vernment of Victor Emmanuel seems very near its last gasp. These matters have a two fold call on our attention—first, as an evidence of the escape Rome has had from being drawn into the vortex of revolution, the peaceful and contented condition of her population afford ing a remarkable contrast to the excitement and distress which prevails all around her ; and also because, as soon as the party of action has succeeded in disposing of the feeble rem nants of ascendancy still in the hands of the Florence Government—il Permanente, as it is called in derision, for clinging to office after losing all popular confidence—their first move will undoubtedly be an attack on our borders. Letters from all parts of the Peninsula mention the contumelious terms in which all in autho rity are openly spoken of, and the most violent repressive measures are powerless to allay the evil. The more arrests are made, the more determined and dangerous grows the opposi tion. " The political effervescence of the Hall - of the Five Hundred," says a letter from Florence, " has descended into the public places of resort, the cafes, and the streets, which all resound with recriminations against the King, the Ministers, and the Piedmontese generally. The parties by which Italy has been so long distracted are now distracted among themselves, bandying words to-day in prepa ration for flying at each other's throats to morrow. Here are some of the most familiar accusations one hears uttered around, shorn of their most opprobrious epithets : " The Italian railways have been sold by that La Marmora to Rothschild.' " The possessions of the Princes of Italy have been swamped by Ricasoli and Sella.' " The funds of the State have been em bezzled by Napoleon's creature, Rattazzi.' " The possessions of the Church, which are the possessions of the nation, have disappeared under the gripe of Menabrea and Cambray- Digny, as under the gripe of a highwayman.' " An hundred millions of the public funds have been sold by Cambray-Digny to Roths child for 50,000,000, to get money to pay the Coupons. If the capitalist had refused, Italy would have been bankrupt. This is the second time the Jew has saved her credit. Will he do it a third time ?' " There is, however, one important matter which threatens to break up the Democratic party more fatally than all the rest. One sec tion is so bent on carrying through a revolu tion at any price, that it proposes to confiscate for this purpose the money of the benefit socie ties ; another section retains prudence enough to foresee that such a measure would effectually alienate the working classes, on whom they have to count for any chance of success in such a revolution. " . • The partisans of the present Government profess, of course, to entertain no apprehension of the influence of the Democratic party but they proclaim their indifference with so loud a voice that it betrays their fears. Such tactics are always the refuge of the weak, from the schoolbOy to the Prime Minister. The Holy See, on the other hand, preferring the honest acknowledgment of existing danger to a system of meaningless boasts, is girding itself without disguise for the struggle which seems imminent. The troops at its command have been distributed with consummate skill at a number of stations along the frontier, and a system of communication established which will enable their immediate concentration at any point of attack, or their recal to the capital, according to whatever circumstances may arise. The campaign of last autumn has taught a lesson not only of watchfulness but also in the art of preparing for attack. I have not dis guised the fact, that during the last week De Courten's brigade was in camp the cold ness of the nights was proving detrimental to the health of the men ; the number of cases of actual illness has, however, been greatly exaggerated, and the break-up of the camp was less owing to this than to the desire to draught the troops into positions of actual usefulness. The camp itself has been a great success ; it is, in fact, impossible to overrate its , 00d effects. Enthusiasm is an excellent sub stitute° for experience, and our troops have plenty of that ; but the practical lessons in soldiering their stay at Rocca di Papa has afforded, have been invaluable in providing an actual taste of experience. It may be thought this experience was of a short period and on a small scale, but it must be taken into the reek ' oning that it was not a herd of indifferent recruits driven down there at the will of their commanders, but that every man of them was bent on making the most of the opportunity and perfecting himself in all that could be learnt from it. Persons of experience who were present at their attack at Rocca Priora last week express the utmost astonishment at the perfection of the manoeuvres. Those at Albano and Castel_9-ondolfo were very well executed, taking all circumstances into ac count; but the interval seems to have converted the young troopers into . practical veterans, so great was the precision and ready apprehen sion of the word of command, the discipline and reliance on their leader, they displayed. When a man's heart is in his work, his teacher has an easy task. I rode down there early in the morning, having an officer for my companion, whose technical knowledge was of great advantage in appreciating the various moves, and who easily selected a good point whence to com mand a view both of the town and the road along which the attacking party advanced. There were six companies of Cacciatori and Zouaves, and a section of Artillery, within the town. The attack was made by the whole body of Dragoons, some Carabinieri, and the rest of the Infantry and Artillery. The latter were stationed out of sight of the town, behind a rising ground, till the signal for attack, when with surprising celerity they brought their pieces into position, and opened fire on the town; a large body of Zouaves, on each side of the road, poured out their volleys on it at the same instant. In our position we should soon have been demolished had the guns been loaded ! The whole body then advanced slowly towards the town, keeping up a constant fire upon it, and upon large parties of tirailleurs (in this case, cacciatori), who obstinately de fended every inch of ground, taking advantage as they went of every bush or eminence in their way which could be used as cover. In the midst of the confusing noise, and smoke and tramping (for we were often between the cross-fire of Zouave and cacciatori, blazing away at each other with all their might), one could distinguish loud and clear all the differ ent bugle signals for cessez le feu, cleployez en tirailleurs, &c., &c., which were exactly and instantaneously obeyed. Perhaps the most brilliant incident of the day to a civilian's eye was the charge of the dragoons sweeping across the plain ; it elicited a burst of admira tion from all present. It was also a grand sight when the whole staff, with Kanzler at their head, came galloping along the road. The din was of course deafening throughout the morning, and many chargers got im mensely exci)ued, eliciting some admirable feats of horsemanship. De Charette, armed with one of the new rifles, fought in the ranks of his Zouaves all day as a simple private. The practice of the Remington gave great satisfaction, and fully answered its promise ; but its very excellence has, however, whetted the impatience at the delay in sending them out, and as writing does not appear to suc ceed in hurrying their appearance, M. de Cha rette has determined to go in quest of them himself. We are determined to have our stable-door bolted before the steed is stolen. The general officers were very well pleased with the day's work, and gave great praise to the action of some small mountain cannon lately acquired. They are \rel.) , pretty little instruments, borne on the backs of mules, one mule carrying the gun and one the carriage ; they are unstrapped, mounted and fired in two minutes and a half. The mules are very fine fellows, said to be a present from the famous stud of the Queen of Spain, and they look quite worthy of such a procedencia, to use a Spanish word. The men had a dinner afterwards at a farm called la Molara, just under Tusculum. The officer's table was joined by a very remarkable assemblage, comprising the King of Naples and his brothers ; Don Alfonso, Infant of Spain; Prince Iturbide, son of a former Emperor of Mexico; Yusuf Karam, Emir of the Libanus ; and perhaps strangest of all a nephew of the late King Theodore of Abyssinia. In the even ing there was a display of the beautiful (so to speak) livin g illumination I described ou the occasion of the last field-day, and which is, I believe, M. de Charette's own invention. I looked in for a few pleasant minutes before returning homeward, at a parting gathering P. Gurdon, who, like a true soldiers' chaplain, had promised to march up to Rome next morning with his men, had thoughtfully improvised for our English Zouaves. It was very picturesque, yet very wild and strange ; the clear Italian deep-toned sunset sky above, the deep ravine covered with a vegetation of almost tropical luxuriance beneath, the camp-fires sparkling against the grey rocks, and the goats startled by their glare, skipping from point to point, yet still bearing their grand horns erect, and waving their solemn beards, in assertion of being the rightful patriarchs of the place. And then, amid so much that was foreign, all around one the homely ringing tones of young, hopeful English voices, cheered by homely Eng lish cups of tea, and the earnest talk about valiant deeds to be done in the cause which is of every country, and binds all hearts in one. And then the thought that before morning all those tents were to be struck, and all the vast and many-tongued assemblage dispersed and marched everyone to his post, and to the longed for look out against the foe. So I bid them adieu, and left them to their short rest on " the Latial Mount" Where once, dreams from Jove Descended on the sleepers, where, perhaps, Some inspirations may be lingering still, Some glimmerings of the future or the past." Quite all trace is not to be swept away either. The essay has been so popular and so successful that another trial is confidently looked forward to. The mess-room, and all erections of at all a permanent character, will be left standing ; also the temporary hospital in which, indeed, some of the sick will have to remain for the present. F. Gurdon was to return to them after accompanying the troops to Rome. Among the names by which, as I mentioned on a former occasion, the lines of tents were distinguished, was one which formed a good French squib on our national tardi ness; our blind ally or turning, without an outlet, got called latterly, when hope of seeing the rifles began to appear vain, the impasse Rtlinington ! The most significant and satisfactory item of this week's intelligence, is, perhaps, that the approach of danger has quickened the Romans into offering a fresh subsidy for the army funds. The present subscription is to be devoted to the presentation of two batteries of artillery. They are to be mounted with rifled canon, to be cast by the Mczzocchi, at the Vatican foundry. The sick list at the military hospital is heavier than one would wish to see it; but not perhaps greater than might be expected at this, just the worst, season of the year, among men more or less ill-acclimatized. The majo rity of cases are slight, and the proportion among the indigenous troops, small. lam glad to be in a position to announce that the French committee have taken compassion on the sick, and have sent some ambulance letters, but I fear not as many as may be required. The Artillery have- several very good ambu lance carriages, with springs and springbeds, but the Zouave regiment seems to depend on its various national committees for provid ing for its requirements. The Holy Father shows his usual interest in the hygienic condition of the soldiers ; he spent an hour and a half in the Santo Spirito hospi tal yesterday, going round to all the bedsides of the worst cases. His health continues ex cellent in spite of his•having had no villeggialtua this year. Lie never misses his afternoon drive, however, and occasionally takes a walk' outside the gates. The day before yesterday we had quite a storm of rain, but it did not deter him ; a wet day is considered rather as a boon by the escort and attendants, as by ancient custom each receives a special gratuity to in demnify him for any possible annoyance. As it your col umns w i t h t h e I believe anything respecting the Holy Father has an interest for Catholics , I have no hesi tationf following 110 Iv n in g incident occupying ; is a rem ar k a bl e i nstance of the freedom whic h exists here, and the oconnescmioeaassnuerses otfhetrepaetompelent at the Vatica n forhave that there is rich and poor. At no other court could it have happened. It seems that the Count de Sar tiges was accompanied at his farewell audience by the Countess and his little boy. They were all received with great kindness and interest by the Pope, who made them all presents of various works of art. His interest was en hanced by the Count's eldest son, a fine little boy, having just recovered from a dangerous illness. His present for Madame de Sartiges —an ivory carving of the Good Shepherd—was selected with great de licac y , so as not to wound ieesaas aProtestant. Alt oge th er been a go o d d ea l t a lk e d interviewprej u prejudices had h th e e r of, like most semi-public events in Rome, and suggested to a poor letter - carrier to desire a similar favour for his own family ; -- a t the same time, as he observed afterwards, he never for a moment expected anything more than a simple bacio del pie. The Pope was, however, determined to fulfil his wish to the letter, and talked to him and his family about their con cerns with a freedom which showed him as much at home in the smallest as in the greatest matters. " What a fine thing the modern post is, is it not ?" he said, smiling, among other things. " I get three deliveries of letters a day now, and yet I have a pleasurable re collection of the days when I only had two a week." He went, according to custom, in grand gala to Sta. Maria del Popolo on the Nativity of our Lady, amid the usual con course and usual loyal acclamations. The 21st is the day now fixed for the Consistory, which I have announced before. As I see there has been a good deal about the English church of St. Thomas of Canter bury here in your columns, it may be interest ing to mention that the Pope has lately given the rector of the English College some large pieces of valuable Africano marble, which are to be worked up in the mouldings of the arches over the doors. A report has been prevalent here lately that Vesuvius gives signs of another coming erup tion. If so, many intending visitors, who had been withheld by dread of the turbulent scenes likely to be called up by the Parliamentino, which, by the way, has postponed its day of meeting, will overcome their fears by the desire of witnessing the grander ebullition. It may be taken as some indication of the failing popu larity of Garibaldi, in Naples, however, that the 7th, the anniversary of his famous entrance into that city, passed off there without the faintest demonstration. A private letter from France mentions the bon souvenir which the French troops who were here retain of their visit to the Eternal City. The men of the 29th Regiment, which were stationed here last winter, have been amusing theinselvss by ornamenting their division of the Camp at Mourmelou with chalk models of the great ruins and public monuments with which they made acquaintance while here.

This morning the examination of Samuel Eaton, station-master at Llandulas, who is charged upon the information of Henry Cripps with the man slaughter of Charles Cripps, who was killed in the disaster to the Irish mail on the 20th of August. The magistrates on the bench were Mr. hesketh and the Rev. Thomas Williams. Mr. Edwardes- Wood appeared for the informant, and Mr. James for the defendant. The first witness called was John Stratton, who said he was inspector of police ou the Chester and Holyhead district of the London and North-Western Railway Company. His duties were to look after signals and points. Ile produced the book of the company's rules. It was his duty to see that every stationmaster upon the line had a copy of the rules. Ila bad served a copy of those rules upon the defendant. The duties of the persons in charge of the points at stations was to regulate the shunting. Mr. James said the printed rules of the company were put in, and he objected to Mr. Wood exa mining the witness upon the duties of station- masters. After some conversation it was decided that the rules should be accepted, and the following was entered since the deposition as evidence :—" Goods, mineral, ballast, or cattle trains, when likely to be overtaken by a passenger train, must be shunted at stations or sidings where there are fixed signals, at east ten minutes before such passenger train is due, and kept there till five minutes after it has passed. Wherever there is a siding of sufficient length to contain the train it must not be shunted from one main line to the other, but always from the main line into the siding." Mr. James objected to this rule being put in, on the score that it formed one of the rules for working over foreign lines, and did not apply to the Chester and Holyhead line. On the question being put by Mr. James, the witness explained that the rule quoted did not form a portion of the general rules furnished for the guidance of the company's servants, but, as shown by the book itself, appeared in the " appendix," containing " rules for working over foreign lines." Mr. Wood said he had made every effort to serve summonses on Mr. Cawkwell and Mr. Mason, but had not succeeded in doing so, and only yesterday afternoon had been able to subpoena Mr. Binger. His agent in London had made every effort to serve a Crown-office summons on Mr. Mason, and hear ing that he was accompanying the Queen to Scot land he went down to Busbury Station, hoping to see Mr. Mason as he passed. The messenger was permitted to wait upon the station platform till about ten minutes before the train was due, when he was swept off, and the train went by. Mr. George, the magistrates' clerk, said he had received a letter from Mr. Mason, which he would read. Mr. Mason sail he bad observed a statement in the newspapers to the effect that he had been served with a Crown-office summons to attend as a witness in the prosecution of the Llandulas sta tion master. Ile thought it right to inform the bench that he had received no such summons, or he would have attended. He was in London till four o'clock on Monday last, when he left to at tend her Majesty in the train to Scotland. The un fortunate accident having been eo very fully investi gated before the coroner's jury, and he having been called as a witness on that occasion, he did not con sider it necessary to attend again, but if the magis trates considered his evidence to be of any import ance he would, of course, act as they directed upon receipt of a letter from them, and without the necessity of issuing a summons. He had business engagements in Scotland, which would occupy him the whole of the week, but if the magistrates de sired his attendance and would adjourn the case till after Tuesday, the 221, he would most willingly meet their wishes. Mr. James—That is a very different thing from a 'messenger being swept off the Etation, and the train sweeping by with Mr. Mason. (Laughter.) The fact was that there were printed rules which had been in existence for years, and which prohibited any one besides the servants being on the platform during the stoppage of a Royal train. Mr. J. 0. Binger, manager of the Chester and Holyhead section of the London aud.North-Western Railway, was then c died and sworn. In reply to questions by Mr. Wood, he said it was the duty of the defendant on the 20th August to have had the goods train shucted ten minutes before the passenger train was due. His first duty upon the arrival of the goods train at Llandulas was t 3 see the line was not blocked. It was quite proper, supposing the line to be protected by signals, for the break van to be left upon the main line during the process of shunting. There was no rule to show that it was the rule or practice. The breaks men were bound to obey the orders of the station master in respect to shunting. The station-master at Llandulas had no means of knowing when the Irish mail passed Abergele. There was no tele graphic communication between the two stations. lie must be guided in his shunting by the time at which the mail was due at Abergele according to the time bills. The Irish mail usually travelled at the rate of 40 miles an hour over the level. The line at Llandulas ought to be cleared for the pas sage of the mail at ten minutes before 12.39. If it were not the station-master would be guilty of cul pable negligence. The inquiry was then adjourned. VERMONT AND MAINE ELECTIONS. (From the Anglo-American Times.) Last Tuesday the news of the Republican victory in Maine arrived in London, which, as indicative of the feeling likely to determine the coming elections, is of the highest importance. Yet, though bill posters with their sensational headings covered th• walls and were spread in the streets ; though news boys hawked the Evening Stars and Standards, no mention was made of a fact pregnant with conse quences to the civilized world, but more particularly to England. It was not that this important in telligence from America had been crowded out by sensational European news, for more silly than usual in this " silly season" were the evening dailies. The truth is, that the importance of the message was an unknown quantity in nearly all the quarters whence news emanates from Print ing-house-square to Northumberland-street, which we believe to be the eastern and western bounda ries. But extraordinary as is English ignorance and apathy about the affairs of a country which more than any other does now and is destined hereafter to influence the English, it is not surpris ing when the leading journal, the paper which manufactures and supplies JoaN BULL with ideas, is even behind the others in its American news. In the same columns which contained intelligence of the complete Republican victory in a State which many Democrats openly claimed as their own, ap peared a letter from the Philadelphia correspondent, dated Sept. 1. This letter must have been lying for days in Printing-house-square, and as the City of Paris was announced to be at Brow-head Signal station with mails to the sth, unless it then appeared, the letter would have been worthless. On glancing over what the correspondent says we see how worthily he serves a paper so sleepy as regards American matters. Where he bad been, or how he had spent the preceding week, he does not say, but a whole one had been certainly skipped. All his ideas and all his intelligence were those of a week anterior, and the horrid notion flashed on our mind that he wrote the last and this weekly letter on one day, and then took his vacation ! " A care ful survey," he says, " of the field as it exists just now shows that the Democrats hold the vantage ground, and indicat:s that they will secure the majority of the Presidential electors Hence the chances at present, and also the popu lar drift, seem to favour the election of SEY MOUR over GRANT, in spite of the latter's mili tary services ; and the New York Herald, famous for snuffing the first indications of a change, .has given up the Republicans, whom a month ago it thought to be on the high road to success, and is now predicting a Democratic victory." He tells us that " fears are expressed" of the breaking out of an Indian war on the Western borders of the United States. ,We wonder where that is, as we had hitherto been under the impression that the, border was the Pacific Ocean. " The prospectus has been issued of the East Indian Telegraph," &c., that " President JUAREZ denies," &c.—" Recipr ocity Treaty with Canada—Forest Fires," &c.—all items already announced, discussed, and used up. Next day out comes the intelligence in half the Lon don papers that " a careful survey of the field," &c., and this is American intelligence in England. A careful survey of the field about the 20th August would have justified the man in Philadelphia, but a careful survey of the field on the Ist September, guided by the intelligence from Vermont and Maine, presented quite another aspect. Yet people must receive with reservation the triumph of the Re publicans as sure indications. New England is a Republican stronghold wherein the Demo crats are seldom successful, except in Connecticut, or on some side issue. So fixed and firm is the New England feeling that it loses much of its value as an index ; and the election in M tine might last year largely be explained by the irritation generated by the stringency of the liquor law. There might then have been no change whatever in the Republican sentiment of Maine, although the Democrats re duced the Republican majority by 16,000 disgusted Anti-Liquor Law men. With no such issue now before them, they give their votes as they would have given their votes last year had they voted at all. In such case the Republican triumph would in some measure be robbed of its value as an index; yet from whatever aspect it is regarded, it is a strong blow to the Democrats. What it indicates principally is the feeling of the farmers, the most powerful class by far in the United States. The mass of them will argue much in the same circle— whether on the green mountains of Vermont or on the prairies of Illinois. They dread more than anything a renewal of the war, and their motto is that of GRANT, "Let us have peace." They con sider that any encouragement given to Southern chiefs has led to extravagant anticipations of the return of the status quo ante bellurn, and this feeling of dis trust is skilfully fanned and played on by the Re publican papers. These men, exercising soenor mous an influence on the ballot-boxes, are little seen or heard. They take up an idea and retain it, and no power on earth can lead them to act except in conformity with the notion thus strongly fixed in their minds. If it be generally felt by them that the Democrats cannot in the present un settled state of the South as yet be safely trusted with power, GRANT walks over the course, and no screaming of Irish mobs in New York or Philadelphia will much influence the result. The elections in Vermont and Maine are chiefly im portant as indicating the opinion of this class. The Democratic journals endeavour to detract from the importance of the Vermont Election by the absurd assertion that the Republican gain did not maintain its normal proportion of three times the Democratic increase. If, for instance, the Democrats gained 4,000 on their vote of last year, and the Radicals 10,000, the Radicals have lost in influence, the proper proportion being 12,000. The Na tional Intelligencer actually argues this out in a leading article, and any one who takes up the London Standard may see the same argument reproduced in its correspondent's letter. The cable announces the Republican majority in Maine to the 73,000, and the gain on last year 11,000. The 73,000 is either an error, or it means the total Republican vote. If an error the "7" should be " 2," which would give a gain of 11,386 over last year's majority. It is probable that the figure is correct, but that it stands for the total Republican vote, in which case the Democrats must have polled upwards of 50,000, giving a total vote for the State of more than 123,000. We cannot put our hand at the moment on the total vote of last year, but we know that in 1866 J. L. CHAM BERLAIN was elected Governor by a majority of 27,258 in a total vote of 111,480. Frcrm this the majority for last year fell to 11,614. It must, then, on the 14th instant have again increased to 22,614. It is on the 13th October that the real tug of war will come, when the great middle tier of States— Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana—where the par ties stand fairly balanced, will throw a vote so heavy, if unanimous, as to turn either scale. Last year the votes in Pennsylvania were 267,751, against 266,824. In Ohio the Repub . licaus elected the Governor by a majority of less than 3,000, while the Democrats carried Vie Legislature ; but in Indiana there was no general election, though this year a very favourite candi date, Senator lIENDnicKs, has been put forward by the Democrats for Governor. It is strange that we have heard nothing from California, but the elec tions already determined, although strongly fa vouring the Republican ticket, have not that weight which the party strives to give to them; and we still remain of opinion that the question will be decided in the Buckeye and Keystone States, which will be but partially influenced by the votes of the Green Mountain Boys, and of the Border State. HE C.HINESE MISSION. Mr. ANSON BURLINGAME, with the Celestial En voys, left New York on the 9th inst., and intelli gence has reached us of the arrival of the Java at Queenstown yesterday afternoon, with, we presume, the Embassy on board. People are beginning to ask themselves in the United States what has been accomplished further than an im paired digestion to CIIIN'TAJEN, SUN TAJEN, and the rest, who, not being cunning in barbarian diet, did not know what to take and what to avoid. Our yellow-faced visitors grew more yellow-faced during their residence at Boston, and there was a visible internal disturbance, perhaps produced by the fermentation of the 501bs. of grapes daily, acting on the pastry. Looking beyond the bril liant series of entertainments the Embassy has re ceived in the most hospitable country on earth, the citizens desire to see something practical accom plished, but this is absurd. A nation of 300,000,000 is not moved in a day, and what creates the sur prise, mixed in England with grave suspicions, is the rapidity with which Mr. BURLINGAME has re presented them as moving. That gentleman, him self an American, naturally spoke in his native country in American fashion, and, as every word he said was weighed in England, the result has been to increase English suspicion of the Mis sion. This has most pointedly found expression in the Pall Mall Gazette and in the Spectator. The English believe the Chinese to be subtle, deceptive, and keen in diplomacy. They are, it is thought, endeavouring to neutralize what England gained by her vast expenditure on the late wars, and they have, according to the English idea, secured Mr. BURLINGA3IE either as an ally or as a dupe. Al though Mr. BURLINGAME gave utterance to " tall" sentiments, as is customary with Americans on these occasions, he is in no small degree justified by the events he described. Extravagant as it may appear, there is truth in his exclamation, which has been sneered at, that " it is the occident and the orient for the first time in electric (=tact ; it is a mighty revolution." He means the effect of the more recent Western civilization acting on the ancient and effete civilization of China. The turn ing point of Chinese policy dates from the period when the Western Powers established their En voys in Peking, and, therefore, in personal communication with the Government of the Em pire. 'When the Western Ministers became acquainted with the Chinese Executive, they found they were dealing with shrewd, intelli gent men, but with the ideas of a past and bygone age. On the other hand, the Chinese dis covered that the barbarians were highly cultivated intellectual beings, with a civilization in advance of their own, and with very exalted notions of equity and morality. This was the electric shock to which Mr. BURLINGAME alludes; for it led to an amalga mation, the one ceasing to fend off, and the other ceasing to effect their entrance by brute force. The late Sir FREDERICK BRUCE was at the bottom of this reform, and his successor in the task is Mr. BURLINGAME. What China owcs to BRUCE may be gathered from the fact that the foreign trade of the Empire rapidly rose from $82,000,000 to $300,000,000 per annum. After he was established in Peking, lighthouses were erected on the coast, steamships multiplied, many Europeans and Ame ricans were brought into the Civil Service, and a school was established in the Residency at Peking to qualify them for the posts. WHEAToN's "Law of Nations," being translated, became a text-book. and the University to which we - not long ago alluded was founded at the Northern capital, through which every three years 11,000 Chinese pass examinations in modern languages and sciences. It is because the English cannot believe this extraordinary conversion that they regard the mission with dis trust. Punch, or some facetious journal, calls the Embassy "Ministers Very Extraordinary to the Courts Everywhere," sent by what BUNSEN desig nate 1 " A Mummified Intelligence." Those who investigate the history of the. Chinese can si'e no grewer cause for surprise in this sudden onward movement than in the almost equally sudden check the mental activity of that people experienced some centuries ago. It is 2,-100 years slice they disco vered the properties of the magnet, a score of cen turies has elapsed sines they commence 1 the use of gunpowder in their fireworks, paper has be al ma nufactured for eighteen huudre 1 years, and books have been printed for half that period. Thus far they advanced—when, as if petrified, they remained exactly in the same position, century after century rolling away, and generations coming and going, with the same idiotic vacancy of expression, leth argic, sensual, voracious, and with the one idea of perpetuating the same condition. That they succeeded in this for so lengthened a period is the, real mar vel ; but the signs are abundant. that Nature would permit it no longer. The most desolating rebellions known on earth have within late days almost de stroyed the empire. The finest system of water carriage has fallen into decay. Cities once the most populous in the world are now in ruins, and the armed opposition the Chinese offered to their Western enemies was the subject of derision and contempt among civilised nations. Yet the Chinese are in telligent and industrious, tolerant, and, for an iso lated people, singularly free from prejudice, given to study, and generally educated ; and in this lies the groundwork for their regeneration. Working on such a basis, Sir FREDERICK proceeded with his reform, and attached the highest officials by a strict observance of every promise, and a sound, com mon-sense decision on all disputed points which re commended itself to their judgment. The English, in truth, cannot realise the Chinese position. When the British and French forces advanced on Peking it was difficult to persuade the Mandarins that the capture of the city would not be followed by plunder and indiscriminate massacre. The SOVEREIGN fled, abandoning his empire in pre ference to risking his precious person with the• barbarians. Let the English imagine the revul sion which would naturally follow in the minds of an intelligent body, when, instead of acting as they anticipated, the Western barbarians withdrew without levying a cent or injuring a citizen. For all their supplies they paid extravagantly, and the subjugated people beheld them come in their imagination as wolves and go as sheep well shorn. What was it that dictated such extraordinary and unlooked for conduct ?—must have been a question wandered over by many a Mind ilia for many 3 day, and from Sir FREDERICK BRUCE came the answer—" Free trade and labour are wealth, not robbery—knowledge is power, credit and prestige are strength; work, trade, learn, and you must be come a very powerful instead of a very feeble people." Is it surprising that the lesson backed with the practical examples did not fall unheeded on Chinese ears, and that they should desire to turn over a new leaf, and no longer attempt to resist the march of civilization against which not only are they impotent, but which they can see will bring blessings, not curses in its train. Yet. the Englis h cannot understand the plain moral of the teaching and regard one of its effects, Mr. Buutalloa 3ll : s mission as a piece of chicanery. Indeed it is the old story of people who allow themselves to get a bad name, being considered incapable of doing any good. We regret that the two English statesmen who best knew China are no more, for it is now that the want will be most felt of the late Earl of ELGIN, and of his brother, Sir FREDERICK BRUCE• —Anglo-American Times. LARGE FARMS. —ln Champaign County, Illinois, there is a farm, seven miles by six in size, and containing 23,000 acres. This is a stock farm, and most of it has been reclaimed from prairie grass and sown to timothy and blue grass. The present owner is Mr. John Ale" ander. The late owner was Mr. Sullivant, who has sold out and taken a farm of 40,000 acres in Ford County , On the Alexander farm are 4,000 cattle, 5,000 acres of corn, several natural and artificial ponds, and miles and miles of hedge. The cattle are divided in herds of about 500 each. Another farm in Benton County Ow tains 26,000 acres. It is well watered. There at° groves of planted trees on this farm. Forty-two miles of board fence inclose 13,000 acres. Seventy Ta iles of Osage orange Ledge are on the place. There are 4,000 cattle on the farm. F o ur years ago was an unbroken prairie. Close by this farm aro o'l others, ono of 12,000 acres, another of 8,000, and ma°Y ° from one to three thousand acres.
