SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It is a great satisfaction to the Times to be set right upon what the present Premier did say at Edinburgh. ___ Mr. Disraeli will not have it that in the social excitement of the hour at Edinburgh he revealed the truth about the " education" of his party. And there is no getting out of ft. Mr. Disraeli was not guilty of the frank arrogance with which we credited him. There is, indeed, abundance of secondary evidence that he was thus imprudent. Did not one Conservative county member grumblingly com plain almost immediately of Mr. Disraeli's ingratitude in stigmatising as doltish and ignorant those who had fol lowed him so faithfully ? But the primary evidence is conclusive. The contemporary report in our own columns and the authorised edition of the speech published by Messrs. Blackwood differ in slight particulars, but the substance is the same. The egotism of " I" is softened into the official " we," but otherwise the two reports agree. In both Mr. Disraeli boasts that the Conservative party had been " educated," but the education he speaks of was given between 1859 and 1866, and was, as far as he stated, confined to five principal lessons, among which the accep tance of household suffrage does not count. The school master, in truth, dwelt only upon the elements of the in- struction he had imparted, and left the crowning grace to be supplied by the memory or the gratitude of others. Far from being boastful, Mr. Disraeli was pitiably modest. This, however, is not the worst. We must acquit him of the fault of which he had been accused, but it is impossible not to see that a new charge must instantly arise against him. What we had believed was that Mr. Disraeli had made a perfectly accurate but very arrogant statement ; what we are driven to recognise is that he made a very modest statement, but deficient in every element of accu- racy. Let us consider what Mr. Disraeli did say at Edin burgh. He declared that he had, as the spokesman of the Conservative chiefs, taught the Conservative party be tween the years 1859 and 1866 five things, which, as a large party slow to move, they had to learn " under pres sure." In the words of his letter on Saturday, " the Tory party after the failure of their bill of 1859 had been edu cated for seven years on the subject of Parliamentary Reform, and during that interval had arrived at five con clusions." The real truth is, that four out of the five they had learnt before, and the fifth, so far from being instilled into the minds of the docile party at the back of the Premier during seven long years of apprenticeship, was learnt by a flash of intuition —by the power, as Mr. Disraeli himself expressed it, of "unerring instinct " in the course of a couple of nights. On the whole we think, with the greatest respect for Ms. Disraeli, and owning the too probable laxity of our own virtue, that we should have preferred to let the matter rest where it was. It is not easy to get rid of a fable which has so much truth in it as that which represented him in a boastful mood at Edinburgh ; and in the attempt to do what he cannot hope to succeed in accomplishing the new Premier has drawn attention to a string of inaccu racies which had passed unnoticed. To be arrogant is, after all, not the highest of crimes, especially when your friends have condoned it, and Mr. Disraeli's defence is only another proof of the dangerous facilities of pens, ink, and paper. The Post compares Mr. Disraeli and Lord Stanley to the two persons who perform "Punch" in the street. There is no concealment about Lord Stanley. He does the drum and fife part of the business admirably, and gives the requisite respectability to the whole concern. His vindication of his Alabama policy was at once mas terly, clear, and straightforward. The cordial cheers amidst which he resumed his seat were well deserved, and the first idea which must have crossed the mind of all who heard him was that they had been listening to a Minister "in whom there was no guile," and that if such lucid explanations and so straightforward a policy were to be the order of the day during the present Adminis tration, there would probably be little room for doubt or uncertainty as to the principles which would guide, or the followers who would support, them for the future. But turn to the declarations of the Prime Minister on Thursday night, and the second personage in the street drama is unmistakably brought before you. Here, indeed, is the mysterious man behind the curtain. All is vague, all indefinite. Deep indeed may be the policy within his breast, but his words no more convey that policy than do the squeaking tones of the concealed actor convey any idea of the nature, habits, and opinions of the man ; and, to make the comparison still more complete, the House of Commons, like children and nurserymaids, appear to be amused and delighted at the darkness which shrouds the performance. The Daily News, in in its weekly article "Trade and Finance," gives its opinion that the anticipated conse quences of the fatal facility which long existed for nego tiating foreign loans is now likely to arrive. Large States do not altogether repudiate their debts. That would hardly be safe. A better expedient is to be found in re ducing the dividends—not in nominal amount, for that would be actual repudiation, as Spanish and other bond holders are well aware, but by imposing a good high income tax. To strike off in this mode some Bor 10 per cent. of the charges on the public debt would necessarily afford a sensible relief. Then, also, it has the unquestion able merit of saving appearances. There is no denial of liability to pay the full amount—that is even ostentatiously acknowledged- but simply the avowal that the State is obliged to levy a tax upon incomes in general, and that incomes from the national debt must come like others within the category. This appears at first sight fair, for the income is earned in the country making the tax, and, therefore, is quite equitable. But the Government having made a contract to pay the full amount, and having carried out that contract so long, has no right now to violate it. With regard to repudiation in the United States, our con temporary hopes the public will not hear much more of the proposition. The new Chancery appointments, the herald remarks, I have been made in a spirit which ought completely to dis arm the fury of that malignant criticism which has so often made its envy heard, when commenting upon the extra ordinary succession of legal prizes which the Conservatives have had to dispense during their present tenure of office. No one has had a word to say against the elevation of Lord • Cairns to the woolsack. The Lord Justiceship which was thus vacated was offered to Sir W. Page Wood, whose political career was one of active and consistent opposition to the party which has thus practically and emphatically recognised the proved judicial capacity of the late Vice- Chancellor. For some few days it was reported that the honour thus offered would be declined from a not unnatural desire to end a long and laborious life in the enjoyment of that otium cum dignitate to which every judge who has served his full term is of right entitled. We are happy, however, that his lordship has sacrificed his private in clinations to the public service. The higher offices having been thus disposed of, the vacant Vice-Chancellorship remained open, and this, as we announced on Saturday, has been offered to and accepted by Mr. George Markham Giffard, the equity Queen's Counsel, whose fitness for the post no one will dispute. The learned gentleman was called to the bar in 1840, and " took silk " in 1858, s i n ce which time he has obtained an increasing amount of lead ing business. He comes to the bench, therefore, with ample experience, and with the prestige obtained by a long and successful forensic career. On the subject of the impeachment of President Johnson the Standard observes : President Johnson's Message completely vindicates his conduct, and establishes its abso lute legality. He is charged with removing Mr. Stanton in disobedience to the Tenure of Office Act. He replies that that Act only forbids the removal of an officer during the term of the President by whom he was appointed (a limitation introduced in order to secure that " distribution of spoils" at each change of Government which is the worst scandal of American politics). Now, Mr. Stanton was appointed by Mr. Lincoln, and therefore, even if the Act be valid, it does not apply to his removal by Presi dent Johnson. Secondly, Mr. Stanton, in common with the rest of the Cabinet, had advised the President that the Act in question is distinctly unconstitutional, and, therefore, null and void. Thirdly, Mr. Johnson's object in removing Mr. Stanton and nominating a successor was to bring the question as to the validity of the Act under the cognisance of the tribunal expressly empowered to decide such issues. He is impeached, therefore, first, for ar endeavour to obtain a legal decision upon a question of law—that is, for doing hi s const i tut i ona l duty • and s econd, for violating an Act which expressly excepts the ca se on which he is impeach e d. But this defence, con- elusive as it is in the eyes of every intelligent and impar tial person, will not avail the President .tjudges. Our contemporary continues to say present judges. the President is identifying his cause with trati its the people, and concludes: What may an ' d ' tl t i h el v iiell o te issue of the conflict between Congress President one cannot pretend to say • the issue of a struggle Congress and the people, between a faction and the between n:tdon it needs no prophet to foretell. The Telegraph takes up the sentence of Mr. Bouverie that the Liberal party possesses leaders who do not lead. Our contemporary says that this really means that Mr. Gladstone is too honest to lead after the old, easy, and convenient fashion. He is guilty of the pestilent ..clelity to his duty, so that lie 'would rather give up office than forfeit political consistency. To honest and consistent Liberals of the party—who are, to tell the truth, a little " clubbed "—the Telegrap h would point out what is the strength and the weakness of the present singular situation. Making what allowances we must for the disloyal elements in our rankB, Mr. Glad stone's side of the I louse is really in power." Mr. Disraeli most constitutionally- reigns without ruling •he is—and no man knows it bet ter than he does — Prime 'Minister quam diu bole se gcsseril—king, only during good behaviour. Indispensable to his own side, he per fectly well understands that he may be Premier just so long as he does the work required by the nation, in the shape of measures dictated by the opinion of the day. Mr. Gladstone's real function at present is almost exactly that of the Roman " Tribune of the people," who could veto any and every " rogation." He, with his majority behind him, sits as tho ex officio judge of the conduct of the Government, to say whether it is doing its duty, and, the moment it defaults, to force it up to the mark of its " truly 1 4 ibsral policy." THE ATI EMPT 70 BLOW UP THE DUNDEE MAGAZINE. Some interesting particulars have transpired in reference to this as yet unexplained occurrence. Wrapped up with the piece of tow there was found a bit of flannel cloth. At first it attracted no attention—the police thinking it a rag which had been mixed with the tow inthe absence of some thing of a more combustible character. On further in spection of it, however, it struck some of the officers that it resembled very strongly the fabric from which mili tary underclothing is made. So convinced were they that this was the case that they resolved on a comparison. This was done in the course of Friday by the detec tives, and the similarity between the cloths was so great that they were convinced that they were one and the same. Another circumstance is possessed of considerable interest. A fortnight ago several soldiers were appre hended on a charge of being guilty of riotous conduct. One of the soldiers was rather severely cut, and Dr. Pixie was called to dress his wounds. While he was doing so the man gave utterance to numerous statements, one of which was that he intended to blow up the , nagazine before the detachment left the town if he was not re leased. Another of the soldiers, about the same time, alleged that he would yet do for the police. Such re marks at the time did not awaken any apprehension, or indeed excite much attention, but, since the occurrence of Thursday, have been vividly recalled to the memories of those by whom they were heard. Some excite ment was created in the town on Friday, when it became generally known that two of the soldiers had absconded from the barracks. A private left the barracks on Wednesday, and has not been seen since. On Friday morning a lance-corporal was sent with the letters to the post-office, and did not return. He was found in the Wellgate in the course of the evening, and taken to the police-office, and afterwards to the bar racks. It is a very common thing for soldiers to desert from their regiment before it leaves town, and this is considered the explanation for the conduct of both men. MURDER IN NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE. A man named John Rogers, an itinerant pot-seller, living at Burslem, is in custody at Hanley, charged with the wilful murder of Mary Durwin, an Irishwoman with whom he had cohabited for several years. The circum• stances, as at present known, are briefly these :—On Thurs day night the prisOner and the murdered woman were seen together in several public-houses in the neighbour• hood of Burslem. At the village of Milton they had a violent quarrel, the woman upbraiding her paramour with wasting the money which she earned, and the latter telling her that as she was not his wife she had no claim upon him, and that he did not care how soon she left him. He was proceeding to violence, when the landlord of the house interposed and protected the woman. At a late hour they left the house together, and went through several fields in the direction of Hanley. They were met by two colliers, who, before they came up to them, had heard a woman screaming " Murder," and who on seeing them were satisfied from her appearance that the woman had been grossly illtreated, but they do not appear to have interfered. The deceased and Rogers were not again seen together, but at half-past four o'clock on Friday morning a collier going to his work reported to two men whom he met coming from a pit that he had passed a woman lying on the canal bank, and that she apreared to have been in the water. He asked them to look after her, but they contended that as they had just left work, while he was fresh from sleep, it was more reasonable to expect that he should charge himself with this act of humanity. The wrangle ended in all three of the men going about their own business with the most perfect indifference as to the fate of the woman. Nothing snore was heard of her until seven o'clock on Saturday morning, when her dead body was accidentally discovered in a disused colliery engine house a few hundred yards from the bank of the canal. The body, when found, was lying across a wheelbarrow, and a subsequent examination of the locality shewed that in all probability the murderer had first of all endeavoured to bury the body in the shale lying at the mouth of a neighbouring coal-pit, but had abandoned that idea for some reason or other, and had then wheeled it straight to the engine-house. A post-mortem examination of the body has been made by Mr. Oldham, surgeon, of Burslem, who is of opinion, from appearances presented by the woman's throat, that she was strangled. In addition to marks of violence on the throat, there are bruises on both arms, caused apparently by the tight grip of a man's hands. The prisoner, on being taken into custody, said that as he and the woman were walking along the bank of the canal she fell into the water through being very drunk, that he pulled her out at the risk of his own life, and then left her. LAW AND POLICE. BUSINESS OF THE LORDS JUSTJCE3 COURT.—On a case being mentioned before their lordships, Sir William Page Wood and Sir Charles Selwyn, which had been originally heard before the first-mentioned, as Vice-Chancellor, their lordships expressed a desire that appeals from that court should be heard by the Lord Chancellor. A request was made that an intimation to that effect might be made to Lord Cairns. ...- - THE ROLLS Comm—The Master of the Rolls made an order for voluntary winding-up, under supervision, of the National Provincial Marine Company, and granted the usual order for winding-up the Holybush Colliery Com pany. His lordship refused to compel the winding-up of the Rennie Laxey Company, the majority of the share holders having faith in it, and believing it would yet do A CURIOUS APPLicArioN.--Vicc-Chancellor-Malins han on Saturday an unusual and interesting case before him, called Newsam v. Glasson. The case aross on a motion for an injunction on notice to restrain the opening of a heershop on a certain plot of land at Tottenham, on the ground that it was within the terms of a deed of covenant, executed in 1852, when Arthur Gurney purchased the land (freehold), of which the plot in question was a portion. The land being laid out in plots for building, the defendant became possessed of one of the lots, and let it to John Briggs, who was about to open it as a beershop, it being let to him for that purpose. The terms of the covenant were express that no hcuse or building erected on any 0: the plots should be used P. 3 a tavern, alehouse, or beer shop. MURDER WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRINK.— At the Lancaster Assize!! George Nuttal was indicted before Mr. Justice Mellor for the wilful murder of John Dunberry, at Habergharn Eaves, near Burnley, on the lith of February last. The prisoner, it appeared, lived with his mother. He had on two occasions received injuries in his head, and when he obtained any drink he appeared to become almost insane, committiN acts of violence. On those occasions his mother was in the habit of sending for a strong man, who used to fling him down and sit upoi: him till he fell asleep. The deceased and his wife were, on the day in question, in the house of the prisoner's mother, when the deceased got drunk and began to exhibil his usual symptoms. His mother begged the deceased tb. leave the house, or he would get harmed, and he did so, but stood outside the door knocking and insisting on haviie,-: his wife's clothes, when the prisoner rushed out upon kiln with a knife in his band and stabbed him in the neck, and the deceased fell down dead. His lordship directed the jury that drunkenness was no defence. The prisoner was found guilty, and he was sentenced to death by his lord ship in the usual form ; but it was intimated that the cir. cumstanccs of the case would be forwarded to the Home Secretary. EMBEZZLEMENT FROM A RAILWAY COMPANY.—At the tame assizes Mr. Aspinall, Q.C., sitting as Commissioner of Assize, tried a charge of embezzlement against onv William Naylor. The prisoner had had to collect certain rents of the slopes of railways banks. His accounts were kept in a lax manner, and he appears to have returned them £3OO less than he had actually received. He was found guilty, and the learned commissioner sentenced him to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour. WOUNDING WITH INTENT TO MURDER.—At the North ampton Assizes, Oliver Drage was sentenced to five years' penal servitude, Alfred Drage to imprisonment for on , year, and John- Smith and John Palmer to imprisonment and hard labour for eighteen months, for wounding with intent to kill George Berridge, one of the North ampton county police, on the 7th of October, 1867. The men, it would appear, were roaching w hen the constable came upon them. They turned round upon him, threw great stones at him, stabbed him with some blunt instrument, and struck him with their fists and a stick, till they got him on the ground. He was then kicked until he became insensible. The prisoners ad mitted they were out poaching, but set up an alibi, which f ailed. Her Majesty will probably visit Cambridge this commencement, for the purpose of inaugurating the statue of the Prince Consort, subscribed for by the members of the senate. A LAD TORN TO PIECES EY MACHINERY. —Mr. Coroner Heath has held an inquiry at Thdwell, near Not tingham, on the body of a lad named Titus Smith, aged 13, who was killed by machinery. The deceased and two others were at work in a room together. There were three machines in the room, one of which was standing, and the belting by which it is driven was thrown off the wheels. and left banging loose from the revolving shafting, Deceased, while going to his work, passed the beltir 4 4 And caught bir; fcct in it, causing him to be carried rouli , l the shafting. He was dashed with great force against tiin. roof, and his body passed seven times round the shaftin: before the engine could be stopped, and was frightfully mutilated, Verdict, accidentally killed. THE SUN, LONDON, MO TDAY EVENING, MARCH 9, 1868. ROMAN AFFAIRS. (From the Roman Correspondent of the Westminster Gazette.) RoME, February 29. The approach of Lent crowded many gay doings into the early part of this week. Every one who goes in for gaiety, was engaged at least three balls deep on Monday and Tuesday nights. The wed ding of Princess Doria with the Conte di Somaglia took place on Monday, and according to Roman custom at a very early hour. The marriage cere mony itself was at the beautiful church of S. Agnese in the Piazza Navona, which is under the patronage of the Doria family. Afterwards, in fulfilment of another Roman custom, the bridal pair and all the guests drove to visit the shrine of the Apostles. A crowd of English, American, and other forestieri had assembled in S. Peter's to take advantage of the opportunity thus afforded of obtaining a view of the beauty and rank of Rome. The marriage is said to be one quite of affection, and if the Princess has taken a husband who is only of the rank of a Count, he is nevertheless of one of the oldest houses of Milan. The happy couple are gone to Albano for a few days, after which they return to rooms prepared for them in the Villa Doria, out side the Porta S. Pancrazio, for the present. The Princess is to retain a suite of apartments in the Palazzo Doria in the Corso, and spend her winters here, so that Rome will not altogether lose this, one of her brightest ornaments. The Corso was made almost as lively as by the carneval itself, by the succession of brilliant equi pages which followed each other iu close proxi mity, driving the bridal party back from St. Peter's, and scarcely had the last driven into the handsome cortile of the Palazzo Dorio, when another more illustrious cortege came by, bearing the Sove reign Pontiff from his visit to the Gesii to see the Poor Clares of S. Silvestro in Capite, and then to the Dominican nuns at Sta. Caterina da Siena. The last day of carneval is always the best and gayest. There were of course more carriages and costumes in the Corso than on other days, and the throwing was more animated. The race never fails to attract its tens of thousands, and there never seems a vacant space at any point of its course, either on the pavement or in the windows overlooking it. Some ten to twenty minutes be fore the start of the horses a nzossa of Dragoons dashes down its whole length, and back again after a minute's pause to take breath, at a pace little inferior to that of the contending horses themselves, and exciting nearly as much delight in the bystanders. The narrow end of the Corso—itself a little over a mile in length—in which the horses are stopped, takes its appellation of la ripresa de' bar beri from this performance. When the gun to announce the hour for clearing the course sounds, a company of soldiers, formed two deep and twenty or thirty abreast, march down it shoulder to shoulder, filling up the entire breadth, thus effectually clearing out the crowd. Two curtains of sailcloth, adorned with the S.P., Q.R. and other municipal symbols, about eight feet high and twenty yards apart, are then securely slung across the space so gained, which is quickly occupied and surrounded by the grooms with their jaunty red jelby-bag caps and brass arm-badges, the friends of the owners of the horses, and any others who can any how set up a claim to the privilege of being there; as the senator and conservatori are, in virtue of their office, stationed in a palco just above it at the angle of the Palazzo de Venezia, of course many of the Palatine guard, pompieri (fire men), and the senator's men in their quaint red and yellow dresses, are there to give colour to the tableau. The mossa has been and gone, the inevitable dog which somehow always gets launched into the course, and is kept in by the maddening hisses of the multitude, has at last broken through the dense hedge of his tormentors and escaped ; false alarms of the advance of the wild troop of horses have been given and disproved, and strained attention is just relaxing itself on some nearer object of discussion, when suddenly the great cry is heard rising from the myriads of spectators screeching, shouting, howling with the full power of their lungs, and yet scarcely moving aside in time to escape the flying hoofs of the contending steeds. Excited by the voice of the people, yet, by the directness of their steps, apparently heeding it no more than if they were so many arrows, on they come, rattling the tinsel with which they are covered like a flight of butterflies on their shoulders and haunches, and often scattering the gay feathers of their topknots to the winds, or to the clutches of the urchins who are on the watch to have a good fight over every bit of bright finery which may be thrown about in carneval. Everywhere as they have galloped by, they have formed a line for themselves, the people have drawn themselves up on either side to let them pass, like the waters of the Red Sea for the chil dren of Israel. But, arrived at the top of their mad speed at the ripresa de' barberi, they meet an unusual sight; here, the professional public stand like a wall in front, instead of on either side of them, drawn up against the first curtain, which forms the " winning-post ;" the cool impudence of the thing imparts a wavering to their onward career. The moment's wavering is all their stout hearted grooms require to catch at the short straps dangling from their bits by which to hang on and bring them to a stop. Some break away and bolt through the curtain, and then through the second curtain also, by which time they are sufficiently surprised at such a succession of obstacles to suffer themselves to be taken with greater ease ; or the moment's interior cogitation, whether to leap or bolt through the curtain, makes those of a more calculating frame of mind more easily caught still; while the more thoughtless face about at once and set off on a return match. At the end of the Piazza di Venezia, however, the course has in the moment's interval been closed against them by a phalanx of dragoons, which formed a more impenetrable barrier than that of sailcloth, and effectually puts an end to any attempt at further careering. The familiar handling and voices of their grooms soon soften their chafing, and induces them to submit to be dressed in their horsecloths, and then a mozo hanging on to strap on either side is sufficient to reduce their snorting dance to a moderate pace during the return home. The winner and proxime accessit are led up to the senator's palco to receive their prizes, and each subsequently escorted to his palazzo by some of the senator's gaily-dressed serving-men on horseback, bearing the prize be fore them, the pompieri-drummer beating time, and the multitude streaming by their side. Being the moccoletti night, there were also torches carried before the winner, the flaring of which, however it may have redounded to his honour, certainly did not improve his quietness of mind. There were nine horses in the race during the early days of carneval this year, but they got sifted away by one cause and another down to five on the last day, when the horse who had been winner every day came in second. After the evening's amusement of the moccoletti, usually - the most exciting act of the carneval, and improved this year by an exhibition of magnesium light from one of the balconies, the day was wound up by masked balls at the theatres, and similar merry-makings in many private houses of the people, from which they might be heard returning at a late hour, certainly beyond the strict com mencement of Ash Wednesday, rattling their tam bourines, and rehearsing choruses. The shops were closed all day, and the whole population was in the streets. Wherever you passed, you met whole families turning out for their holiday with their little children dressed in fantastic costumes, sometimes grOtesque and ab surd, sometimes very true to the characters intended to be represented, but in all cases charming from the artless grace of the little wearers. phis gala-work out of doors seems strange, but one ought not to be surprised that the people prefer to hold their gatherings under such a sky as we have here, to any comforts offered between four walls. There have been no disturbances of any kind to mar the amusements of carneval while it lasted, and the two or three casualties from foolhardi ness at the race are not aerions. i. mentioned last week that one or its o stories of Pontifical sol diers injured by civili s during its days of licence, had melted away and et investigation. Two more were brought me this week, and as they may find their way in a distort e I form into the Protestant prints, I may as w aL l give you the facts which would otherwise hard ly call for notice in this letter. In the first place , then, it may be fearlessly stated that no Pontifi ca 1 soldier was injured in any way during the care Lei ral in Rome, except one of the Swiss rifles, whc ) was knocked down by the horses through his ow II temerity, and is now doing well ; and one Zouav a who, through the careless handling of his pisto L in the house of his private friends, to whom he i v as explaining its mechanism, has injured his own h a nd. This accident, it will be observed, had no col Ix section with the festivities. At Albano a soldier received a cut in the hand from a clasp-knife, which will probably be soon proved to be the I:ek;ult of a private quarrel. There are few town .of Italy which have been so fortunate. If Lent has put a - a. end or a check to gaiety, it has by no means made occupation stagnant. Quite the contrary—it is tile season for setting forth her special character 01 leader in religious matters. On Ash-Wednesday the Pope held a cappella papale at the Sixtine, w. hich was crowded as usual. The Pope first receive I the ashes from Cardinal Panebianco, the Grand Penitentiary, and then dis tributed them to the car.6linals, and to many arch bishops, bishops, and pry Oates ; afterwards to the Senator and Conservatori of Rome. Sermons and special L enten services abound in the various churches day by day. The Lent preachers were received as usual by the Pope on the Thursday before Lent• Before sending them out to preach, with his blessing, he addresses some words of exhortation to them :- 44 Preach Jesus Christ, the great example of holy poverty, morti fication, and humility, and make yourselves models of these virtues for your flocks to follow." Such was the burden of his address on this occasion. All the parochial churches and a number of others have these special services for Lent, the preachers being chosen chiefly from among the religious orders. The English sermon is at the usual church in the Piazza del Popolo, and is by the Rev. Patrick O'Ryan, of St. Louis, U.S., whose Epiphany dis course, at S. Andrea della Valle, was much liked. The French have two preachers of so great cele brity that one wonders how Paris can spare them, or S. Luigi de' Francesi contain their auditory— Pere Hyacinthe and Pere Hippolyte, both Carme lites. The Germans have Canon Ludwigs. The Lent preacher at the Gesu is not, as far as I can hear, very widely celebrated as yet, but the selec tion will doubtless be fully justified. Neither is the army forgotten. Besides the usual Retreats, arrangements are made to enable all who wish to attend sermons in their own tongue ; and besides the regular chaplains several Religious will attend specially to preaching to them and hearing confessions. And just as the Cardinal Vicar (who exercises the functions of Bishop of Rome in the name of the Pope) publishes the Lenten indult for the Roman people, Mgr. Tizzani, first chaplain of the army, Bishop of Nisibis (in partibus) publishes one for the army as indulgent as possible, in consideration of the hard ships to which soldiers are subjected. The Cardinal Vicar's indult opens by drawing a distinct line of demarcation between the conduct of those who neglect the fast from motives of in difference to the principle of mortification, and those who are unable to practise it to the full extent practised in former times. But he adds, even these latter " must be reminded that faith without works is dead, and that the works of penance are the first which a lively faith inspires, arising from the salutary fear of Divine judgment and a due horror of sin, as well as from affec tionate aspirations after holiness, and a noble de sire to be made like our Divine Redeemer in His sufferings, in order that we may one day be made like unto Him in glory." Then, first declaring that the laws of fasting remain in force just as of old, he pronounces the dispensation for this present Lent (for the city and district of Rome), which allows the use of meat at one meal on all days except Ash Wed nesday, Ember days, the Vigils of St. Joseph, and the Annunciation, and the three last days of 'Holy Week ; all Fridays and Saturdays being already days of abstinence here. The use of fish and meat at the same meal is also forbidden even on the Sundays. The usual warning is repeated to keepers of cafes and restaurants, to have ready on all days not excepted by the indult, dishes which do not contravene the laws of fasting, so that none may be driven to inconvenience or trans gression by their negligence ; and that if they are required to prepare other meats, it should be in a separate room, so that scandal may not be given. The Lenten devotion which gives most occupa tion to visitors is the practice of visiting the sta tional churches on the various days on which special indulgences are attached to the act, many of them being of surpassing interest, yet difficult of access, or not to be appreciated to advantage when bare of worshippers, at other times. The title of stational churches is variously de rived. Some, referring to a parallelism which has been established between the forty years' wander ing of Israel in the wilderness and the forty days' fast of Lent, see in them a figure of the stations at which the favoured people halted on their way to the Land of Promise. Others refer its origin to a custom in the Primitive Church of the faithful spending nights in watching in the churches, and remaining standing during the vigil. Others, again, to the custom of the Pope's preaching to the people, standing, during Lent. Others derive it simply from the fact of their being established by the Holy See for gaining particular indulgences. The observance is very ancient. There is in the Vatican Library an old MS. ceremoniale, in which it may be found described almost in its present order as in use in the time of Pope St. Hilarion in 446. It gives, besides, the order of a very curious custom, the record of which, though it has now fallen into disuse, is not without inte rest. The sub-deacon was ordered to give out be fore the Communion at Mass the stational church of the next day thus :—" Crastina die veniente statio erit in ecclesia Sancti N.," and the cantors to answer " Deo gratias." On the day itself an acolyte of the church was to carry to the Pope a ball of tow dipped in the oil of its sanct-lamp, intoning, as he offered it, the versicle, " Jube, Domine, benedicere !" and the Pope, having given his blessing, he was to sing " Hodie fuit statio ad Sanctum N. qui salutat te." The Pope then took the tow from him, and, kissing it with de votion, answered " Deo gratias !" He then handed it to a Cameriere, by whom all these balls of tow were put by carefully, and preserved till the death of the Pope, when they were made into a pillow, which was placed under his head at his burial. St. Gregory revised the list of churches hon oured as stational, and appointed to each its fixed day. They are all specially venerable for their antiquity and for the mysteries they commemo rate, being all dedicated to our Lord or His Mother, or to some of the martyrs. The station on Ash Wednesday is at Sta. Sabina, S. Alessio and Sta. Maria in Cosmedin ; the two former on the summit of the Aventine, the latter at its base. Sta. Sabina was built, according to a mos tic inscription yet to be seen, by a certain Pietro di Schiavonia, in 425, on the site of the palace of the martyr, Sta. Sabina. It is interesting on many accounts. For one, from having been the place of refuge of Pope St. Silverius when accused by Belisarius of communicating with the Goths. Then it was the residence of several Popes in the Middle Ages, and most of all in that it was given by Ilono rius 111. to St. Dominic, who resided there some time, and many are the traditions still preserved of associations, with details of his holy life. Among other legends is one of an occasion in which the devil, appearing to him in the form of an ape in his cell, to distract him during his meditations, the saint constrained him to hold a taper for him till it burnt down and scorched his hand, and he was glad to escape, howling with pain. Another tells of how the saint, being commissioned by the Pope to reform the convent of nuns at Sta. Maria, in Trastevere, his labours among them kept him one night till so advanced an hour that the good nuns were in great alarm at his encountering the perils of the road. The saint, however, would not trans gress the rule by remaining through the night. Even at the present day it would not be a pleasant midnight journey from Sta. Maria in Trastevere to Sta. Sabina. In the thirteenth century it was probably not smoother or better lighted, while the means of crossing the river were certainly less convenient, for the Ponte Sisto did not exist., and one of the arches of the route Palatino had just been washed away. St. Dominic, nevertheless, set out on his homeward way. The door was scarcely closed behind him when the rays of a friendly lantern, borne by a youth of surpassingly beautiful countenance, were thrown across his path. With marked courtesy the young man offered to escort him home, seeming to know his destination of himself ; the saint followed, wondering at the guiding of Divine Providence. Arrived at Sta. Sabina, the heavy gate of the monastery opened for them as the light of the young stranger's lamp fell on it. They entered, and it closed behind them; but, on the instant St. Dominic found himself alone, and doubted not that God had sent his angel before him to preserve his life. In the church is shown an ancient Roman marble balance-weight. one of those subsequently used for tying to the feet of martyrs sentenced to be thrown into the Tiber. It bears the following inscription, from which may be gathered the story of its connection with the history of St. Dominic : Credidit orantem jacto confundere saxo Sanctum hic I)ominicum, hostis versutus ad ilium Illae sum Dominus servat, mirabile f ac t um _ _ ... . Alarmoris illisi confractio monstrat in aevum Bisque fidem przebet suspensus, et iste molaris. In the convent garden is a merangolo, or ungrafted orange tree, planted by the saint, whose shade is counted holy ground, and. whose leaves are prized as relics still. Here, too, St. Thomas of Acquino lived, and there fail not memories either of his consoling visions received there of his sister rising from pur gatory at his intercession ; of the name recorded in the Book of Life of his brother, killed by the Em peror Conrad for his defence of the rights of the Holy See. The church of St. Alessio, to which the station was given on this day by Urban VIII., is no less interesting, but of an entirely different order of in terest. The wonderful conversion of Aglae, who built the first chapel on the spot ; the still more wonderful conversion of St. Boniface, in whose honour she raised it ; then the singular life of St. Alessio, unknown among the pensioners of Euphe mins, his father's table, his patronage of Sta. Francesca Romana, the picture of our Lady he loved so well when at Edessa that his tears con strained it to bid the porter open to him one day when he mourned that he was shut out from it, and then followed him to Rome to console him when he came back, without leaving trace or record of its passage. All these simple traditions, and many more, hover round the venerable precincts ; but time forbids me to more than allude to them. Of Sta. Maria in Cosmedon, I can only say on this occasion that it claims to possess among its relics the reed with which our Lord was struck in Pilate's house. Time forbids me also to speak of the other churches similarly visited in the later days of this week ; it must be for another year. I am sorry to break in on those peaceful con siderations with rumours of war, but I must chro nicle all. I spoke last week of the feeling that obtains that the revolutionary party is on the look out for opportunities to work out its ends. This week it has been confirmed by reports of red-shirts again collecting and taking up their station along the frontier, so as to be ready to act when re quired. On Wednesday an officer of Victor Emmanuel had the effrontery to hand to the Papal Comandante di piazza at Aquapendente despatches from the Italian general, informing him that he intended to cross the frontier in pursuit of a band of brigands. The Comandante di piazza answered that there were no brigands in the neighbourhood, but such as might be sent as the vanguard of the Piedmontese invasion ; that the trick was known and under stood, and that he protested against the presence of even the officer in question on the Pontifical soil. The officer, however, assured him at parting that the Italian army was ready to act and would act ; on which, of course, the Comandante de spatched his report of the affair to head-quarters. Meantime, there is no appearance of relaxation in the influx of men and funds for the army nor of that of the Peter's Pence. Among the amounts I have heard of, lately for the latter is £l7O from the English Diocese of Beverley, making upwards of £550 received from it in the course of the year. Father Malooly, Prior of the Irish Dominicans at San Clemente, has had the honour of being received by the Pope to present to him a reliquary containing particles of the relics which were lately laid with so much state under the high altar of that church. The Holy Father bared his head before the sacred remains, and kneeling down, addressed a prayer to SS. Clement and Ignatius aloud. He then bestowed on the Vicar a gold medal, and expressed his satisfaction at the honour given to the festa, and his regret that he was pre vented from assisting at it ; that he would have liked to have pronounced a homily in the Coli seum on the very spot where St. Ignatius was mar tyred, and to have repeated there the words which the Church puts into the mouth of the heroic Bishop of Antioch—‘ , Trumentum Christi sum, et bestiarum dentibus molar, ut panis mundus in- veniar." Of course there is not space to tell of all such in cidents, though I know even subordinate details concerning the Holy Father are read with interest, more especially, of course, those in any way con nected with English matters. For another, then. He has just contributed 2,500 lire to the fund for the building of the English college chapel as an earnest of his continued interest in the work begun under his auspices now two years ago. None who were then here will easily forget the ceremony, nor the cordial reception he gave the English visi tors, nor the earnest and loving words in which he addressed them on that occasion. The official list has been published of the results of the concurrence of Roman subjects at the French Exhibition. The number of exhibitors was 139, and of prizes of various kinds and honourable men tions fifty-three. Of these there were nominated for the Legion of Honour two. (Padre Secchi, the astronomer, and Luccardi, the sculptor.) Grand prix, one (to Padre Secchi). Gold medals, three (one for mosaic, one for music, and one for sculp ture). Silver medals, eleven (for inlaid marbles and inlaid wood, cameos, silks, laces, scagliola, minerals, cereals, and one for carriage-building). Bronze medals, twenty-three (for a cameo in rock crystal, for book-binding, inlaid furniture, marble work, goldsmith's work in Byzantine style, scien tific instruments, alabaster, artificial marbles, seve ral for stearine candles, wines, and olive oil). Honourable mention, thirteen (one of these to the Dominican Padre Embriaco, for his hydraulic watch, which has already attracted so much notice, others for photographs, for inlaid ,musical instru ments, for surgical instruments, for gunsmith's work, for an ingenious instrument invented for use in the mint here, for fancy leathers, minerals, and olive oil). Exhibited goods were sold to the value of about 190,000 lire. On Thursday there was an illumination of the Coliseum by Bengal lights and red and green fire, with musical accompaniment, a not very elevated or appropriate entertainment, but one which always attracts great crowds, serving, as it does, as an object of evening gathering in a season when parties are few, and operas have ceased. (From another Correspondent.) ROME, February 29. To remove any doubts which may exist of the real intentions of those who pretend that the invasion of the Roman territory was merely directed against the " Temporal Power," it is only necessary to look at the history of the last seven years, and compare the acts and de clarations of the Government of the kingdom of Italy. " It is not enough to dishonour Catholicity, we must smother it in the mire," was the im pious profession of faith of Edgar Quinet, one of the most notorious writers of the present school •of infidel revolution. The Italian Ministers have acted up to his advice, and by the persecution of the Church, the sequestra tion of its property, and the arbitrary and un justifiable imprisonment of its priests, have endeavoured to destroy its influence and de prive it of its liberty. " The independence of the clergy is a political heresy which we can never admit ; we can give them no greater privilege than we are ready to extend to Jews or Mussulmen," said the deputy Benedetto Musolino in Parliament, in the month of June, 1863, and his discourse was rapturously ap plauded. When His Holiness the Pope summoned to Rome the bishops of all Christendom, to take part in the religious ceremonies for the can onization of the Japanese martyrs, the Italian Minister of Public Worship prohibited the jour ney to the bishops of the kingdom, on the pre text " that they might be exposed to insult from their diocesans, who disapproved of the ceremonial; yet the protest of the ecclesiastics to this arbitrary decree of Minister Conforti was answered by the deputy Nicotera in Par liament with a recommendation "to silence them with the bayonet—not with empty threats." The official organs, in the hope of eradicat ing all religious sentiment among the ecclesi astical students, tells them " so much piety is superfluous ; daily attendance at Mass is use less, Sundays are all that is necessary ; confes sion should be practised rarely, for it behoves us to throw off the yoke of all these clerical prejudices." But the whole situation is summed up in Garibaldi's letter to the Italian clergy, in which he bids them " atone for the faults of their past by future good conduct." " You have so far," he writes, made Rome a den of wild beasts. . . . . I am unfortunately too well per suaded that you cannot save the cardinals from perdition but do it if you can Let the Italian priest thunder from the pulpit the sacred words of the redeemer of his country (meaning himself, of course), and a stern cen sure of the hell of the Vatican." It is not, however, necessary to look farther into the past than the last three or four months to find convincing proofs of the anti-Catholic tendencies of the Piedmontese revolution. I do not speak of the sacrilegious profanations of God's temples in every town or village oc cupied by Garibaldi's cut-throats ; they might be ascribed to the momentary excitement of an undisciplined rabble ; I speak of the sys tematic persecution of every one connected with the Catholic Church. The spoliation of the convents continues, and, within a few days, a motion was made in Parliament to seques trate the property of the religious orders in Lombardy, although that property had been expressly guaranteed to the members by the treaty of Zurich. Protestants and infidels have been appointed to professorships in the different universities, from which the former incumbents have been removed, not because they belonged to the clergy, but "because they were too religious, and went to Mass." " The State ought to be atheistical; it has nothing to do with the affairs of heaven ; the Govern ment has no right to give the earnings of its citizens to lazy priests who do nothing but conspire against the liberty and unity of Italy !" were the words of Salvatore Morelli in Par liament during the discussion of the Bill for the meagre appropriation proposed for the re gular Church establishment of Italy. Farini, towards the end of January, demanded the exclusion of the Sisters of Charity from the military hospitals, " because they disseminated doctrines prejudicial to Italian unity," and his motion met with warm support from the members of the " party of action." On the 17th of October, 1867, nearly three weeks before the battle of Mentana, the Sove reign Pontiff decreed a Triduum, by which the whole Catholic world was invited to pray to God for his protection in the hour of peril. Yet the Government of Victor Emmanuel has invented the pretext of its being a Te Deum for the glorious victory, and has forbidden its celebration. Nay, more, at Padua and at Pavia the students were instigated, by an apostate priest, who fills the post of rector of the uni versity, to attack the churches and the semi nary, and to beat and despoil of their vest ments the officiating clergy. A few police men would have prevented the outrages, yet, although the towns were full of troops, the authorities declined to interfere otherwise than by an order " that the bells should not be rung for Mass, and the churches should be closed after 10 a.m., in order to prevent a re petition of similar disorders." With such facts as these staring the world in the face, how is it possible to admit, for one moment, that the attacks are simply against the Papacy as a Temporal Sovereignty ? Con forti, who forbade the visit of the Italian bishops to Rome in 1862, was the grand Master of the Italian masons, and every office of the Government is filled with tools of a sect whose known object is the extinction, not only of Catholicity, but of all religion. The French intervention of 1867 was cer- tainly a great moral triumph, but, if the acts of France are to be limited to the defeat of Garibaldi's designs, the end has not yet been attained. The Convention of September has been vindicated and enforced, but the position of affairs is unchanged. For the time being, the safety of Rome is secured, but the thunder still mutters in the distance, and any change in the imperial policy would allow it to burst with renewed fury on the head of the devoted Pontiff. Napoleon cannot be relied upon. The history of the martyrs of Castelfidardo, and of the unfortunate Maximilian, abandoned to his fate after the most solemn promises of sup port, are there to prove that his policy is treacherous, and that he still remembers his ancient compact with the Carbonari. I know, from the most positive authority, that, after Mentana, Lamarmora was sent to Paris to in quire into the causes of the intervention, and, if possible, remedy its effects. I know that he was received like a dog by the Emperor, and that the latter, in a voice of suppressed anger, said to him=" You are a set of cowardly fools, and your King is an addleheaded baby ! I gave you eight days !" Comment is quite unnecessary, but some may still recollect another interview at Chambery, in 1860, when this same La Marmora was told—" Get rid of Lamoriciere, but lose no time !" To prove that the people refuse to partici pate in all acts which essentially constitute the existence of a Government based upon universal suffrage, I need only cite their per sistent absence from the elections ; in one in stance, out of 200,000 persons constituting the population of the market quarter of Naples, Cortese was elected by 43 votes against 41 given to the Opposition candidate. All the papers not in the Government pay are unanimous on one point—that a crisis is at hand when the question will be decided whether the Papacy or Mazzini will triumph, for the leaders of the Revolution are tired of their puppet, Victor Emmanuel, and are almost ready to throw away the mask, and chant the bloody hymn of the Red Republic. The Pontifical State is apparently calm, but every preparation, consistent with its meagre revenues, is being made to resist the attack, already announced by Garibaldi, for the early spring. Although balked in their attempts to suborn the Roman people in October, 1867, Mazzini's partisans arelabouring, industriously, to make trouble in the city. War is expected by the Government about Easter, though it may be postponed until the autumn, as the Italians have neither money nor breech-loaders, and the Ministers have not found anyone who will supply either on credit, particularly as, since Custozza and Mentana, Italian military skill and courage hays fallen below par._ MINING INTELLIGENCE. The Humboldt Company of Nevada will shortly be offered to ,the public on very favourable terms. The mine is an extension of the Tullulah lodes, which perhaps carried as good a guarantee as any mine ever offered in England. The position of this property is singularly favourable, being within three wiles of the Union Pacific Railway, on which gangs of men are now at work in laying the rails along the Ilumbolt. If our information be correct, the vendor will not receive a penny for the mine until all who subscribe for shares receive back from the profit the full amount paid up, with 10 per cent. interest, when they will retain the shares and re turn the bonds to be issued with them. If this can be carried out the shares will actually be given away, no person having paid anything on the pro perty except the original outlay by the vendor. lie certainly shows strong faith in its productive powers, as he gives but three years for the share holders to receive back the sum advanced, and his calculatio❑ is that this will be accomplished in two years. The adjoining property, held by a company named the Essex, formed in New York, working the same lodes, has proved a great success. Their mill is completed, and they are turning out large quantities of ore. The shipments of bullion for January from Aus tin, Nevada, were expected to exceed $200,000. Although winter had set in before the middle of January, the mines being prepared, have carried on their work. The stages of both the local and over land lines keep regular time; the teams work regu larly, salt being the only difficult thing to procure, so winter does not much retard work in Nevada. Nearly 4,000 ounces of crude bullion have been brought into Austin from Rigby's Mill at San An tonio. A lot of about 3,000 ounces was sent from the mill on the Bth inst. In proportion to its capa city it is the most productive mill in the country. It was designed for prospecting, and has a battery of four stamps, each weighing 450 pounds, one roasting furnace, and one pan. Under the able management of Mr. Rigby the little affair is of quite as much account as au ordinary ten-stamp mill. The bullion produced is obtained from ore of the Liberty Mine, which is the valuable property of Mr. Rigby's company. The Reese River Reveille gives the following ac count :—" It is likely that before the close of the present year the property of the Centenary Com pany will yield substantial and welcome dividends to its stockholders. Newark district, in which the property is situated, is in Lander County, about 90 miles east from Austin, and is undeveloped beyond the possessions of the Centenary Company. It owns seven distinct locations, namely, the Chihuahua, of 1,600 feet, with an extension of 1,400 feet; Buck eye, 1,600 feet, with an extension of 1,100 feet; Lincoln, 1,600 feet ; Washington, 1,600 feet ; and Indian Jim, 1,600 feet ; forming an aggregate of 10,800 feet of valuable mining ground. The prin cipal work has been expended upon the Chihuahua ledge, which has been opened to the depth of about 300 feet. Three levels have been run to consider able lengths, two of which have been connected by a wiuze. Besides the main opening there is a shaft 75 feet deep. In these different works a large, well-defined, and permanent vein, in which not a single break occurs, is exhibited. Up to the pre sent time fully 1,000 tons of ore have been extracted from the Chihuahua mine, obtained chiefly from the croppings and the levels. Yet the supply from these sources is not exhausted, but there is a considerable quantity of ore within reach of the stopers. In the level which extends from the shaft, the fine vein is 11 feet thick, and carries generally a good quality of milling ore. Extraordinary specimens of rich ore have been producel by the mine, the choicest of which yielded by assay at the rate of $B,OOO per ton. The next important work is upon the Lincoln, wh',..l has been opened by a tunnel 125 feet long, disclos ing a compact though relatively small vein the en tire distance. Several hundred tons of ore have been taken from the croppings of the mine ; the whole lies on the dump waiting the demands of the mill. The superficial indications of other locations are of a very promising character, but time is required to develope them. Newark district is an isolated position, far from the centre of sup plies, and the company has altogether achieved a great work. In a fraction of a year it not only built a - superior twenty-stamp mill, but did much towards opening two important mines. The mill is pronounced to be one of the most complete struc tures of the kind in the State, which is saying a great deal. The main building is 136 feet long by 60 feet wide, to which there are two wings—one of which is 132 feet long, and contains the roasting furnaces, and the other the engine and boiler. These good results are due, in a great measure, to the executive ability of J. W. Bailey, the General Su perintendent, whose zeal and perseverance in pro moting the interests of the company are unflag ging. Mr. Bailey regards himself as particularly fortunate in having secured the services of men of the first class in their several depart ments. To the experience and mechanical skill of the builder, G. P. Griffin, the company is chiefly indebted for its superb mill ; and its successful re duction of ores may be fairly attributed to the clever manipulation of the foreman, Mr. Collier, who has repeatedly liberated and saved 90 per cent. of the silver contained in the ore. Mr. Collier sent three considerable lots of bullion from the mill during the past month. The mines of the company are under the management of Robert Hanegan, well and fa- vourably known in California and inWashoe as thorough practical miner. We have been informed that with all these advantages the operations of the company are likely to be temporarily suspended, at least so far as the production of bullion is concerned. They have a present supply of salt for about thirty days only, and unless it can be increased the mill may be closed for several months. A similar want at present controls the movements of two important mills in the immediate district.
