SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOMINALS, In the opinion of the Times, the conclusion of the in quest at Abergele leaves two or three points of impor tance unsettled and obscure. The signals at Abergele were all properly set, but the exact point on the line at which they can be seen is doubtful ; and the distribution of the responsibility between the station-master and the breaks man is not clear. It is, however, evident that the goods train on arriving at Llandulaa should at once have been run into the sidings, as it seems might really have been done. There was ill luck about it in many ways. Not to mention that load of petroleum picked up near Chester, it was unfortunate that the train was so long, and unfortunate, again, that the siding should have been partly occupied already. But these things being so, and it being plain that a complicated operation must be performed with only twenty minutes to perform it in, the obvious duty of those engaged was to postpone the work till the mail had passed, and in the meantime get the waggons out of the way. " If," said Colonel Rich, " the guards thought there was not sufficient time, the train need not have been brought to a stand at the incline of one in 100, but should have been taken over the siding point and at once placed on the two sidings." Exactly ; and we entirely agree with him in thinking that if this had been done the accident would indeed have been prevented. Nor was there any difficulty about this pro ceeding, as the resident engineer and the station-master himself sufficiently explained. The goods train, with its forty-seven waggons, was 235 yards long. One of the sidings at Llandulas was 256 yards in length, and would, therefore, have taken the train at once had it been empty. Unfortunately it was not, but there was another aiding 100 yards long, and between the two the train might have been accommodated till the mail had passed. The Standard thinks it is to the want of time that the disaster is primarily due. There were fifteen minutes to spare after the goods train arrived before the mail train was due. It is possible that in five minutes the goods train might have been divided and shunted on to the two lines which made up the siding. Certainly no more ought to have been attempted, and it was the endeavour to do more which brought about the calamity. It is very likely that these two breaksmen, knowing that the mail train was close upon them, were hurrying over their duties and doing what they thought was best to get the trucks out of the way. Had more time been allowed they might have been more precise. The conclusions which the Post draws from the investi gation are: (1), That the accident resulted directly from the disobedience of orders by the station-master in not directing the goods train to be shunted at once on arrival, and without being broken up, and from the neglect of the breaksmen in not carefully watching the five end trucks and the tail break-van. Possibly the jury had some reasons for assigning a less amount of blame to the station-master than to the breaksmen, but from the pub lished evidence, and on mature reflection, it seems difficult to discover why the distinction was made. (2), That the railway company's rules are defective, and that the occasion in question was not the only instance of their being loosely carried gut. (3), That the story of Mrs. Dicken was the result of the misconception of a frightened woman during a scene of great confusion and excitement. (1), That the passengers in the carriages in front of the mail vans were all suffocated by the deadly vapours arising from the contact of the oil with the firebox and fire of the engine, and that none of them could possibly have escaped even if all the sea-side doors had been un- locked. The Telegraph thinks the "strong censure" pronounced on the station-master by the coroner's jury, at the direction of the assessor, appeared to be thoroughly justified. The evidence plainly shews that, though the station-master may not have had absolute control of the train while it was being broken up, he had absolute command of it up to the moment when the sorting-out of the waggons began. The postponement of the shunting to the sorting out of the waggons which were to be left at Abergele was a dis tinct breach on the part of the station-master of the explicit regulation which prescribed the shunting of goods trains ten minutes before the arrival of passenger trains. The archbishop makes two important announcements. The first is, that it is intended to apply for the royal license for the meeting of the Irish Convocation ; the second, the expression of his Grace's hope that whatever settlement may be attempted on the basis of the report of the royal commissioners, it will be such as to give a reasonable prospect of " finality." With regard to the first point, says the Standard, it is obvious that the clergy of'the Irish Church have been placed in a very false posi tion, owing to the want of some vehicle or opportunity for collecting and promulgating their opinions upon the question which touches them so nearly. As a Church, the Irish Church has had no facilities whatever for making its voice heard, nor have the clergy and bishops been enabled to meet together for purposes of consultation. Upon the part of the Government there will, we believe, be no objec tion to the issue of the royal license for the proposed meeting of the Irish Convocation, which has been in abeyance for more than a century. The bishops and clergy will do well to go into council in the frame of mind in which Archbishop Trench speaks of the coming settle ment. They must be prepared for large measures of change, and to yield much and freely. The Herald is puzzled to decide between the contradic tory statements of Sir Roundel' Palmer and Mr. Coleridge as to the legal consequences of disestablishment. Here we have two conflicting voices, or rather three ; for Mr. Coleridge is for disestablishment and re-establishment in the same breath. The Attorney-General of the last Administration says that disestablishment essentially consists in removing the legal and coercive jurisdiction enjoyed both by the State over the Church and by the Church over its members ; and its Solicitor-General says that he is all for disestablishment, yet he will on no account consent to give up this now-existing legal and coercive jurisdiction. Sir Roundel' Palmer and Mr. Coleridge differ enormously in character and delicacy of conscience. But it is apparent that they differ quite as much in their law. The first is easily explained; but the latter is accountable only on one supposition. That supposition, however, is by no means an extravagant one. Mr. Coleridge has never seriously considered the question. Like Mr. Gladstone, he has never asked himself what would be the consequence of their policy. Commenting upon the opening of the second congress of the International AssoCiation of Workmen at Brussels, the Star observes that the policy of the workmen in France and Germany of late years has been essentially of the Fabian sort. They have endeavoured at the same time to keep open all the questions that have been matters of controversy between themselves and the masters, and yet to avoid bringing the struggle to a crisis before they have disciplined their forces and entrenched their position. Year by year they have seen their cause grow stronger, the vigilance of the police grow relaxed, the law mitigated where it had pressed bald upon the workman. In Paris, 2,500 working men, who were mem bers of the International Association, were permitted for four years to meet, to organise, to collect subscriptions, to carry on an extensive foreign correspondence. But a year ago the Imperial Government suddenly abandoned its cle ment and conciliatory policy. The police began actively to Persecute themeetings, the correspondence, and the internal organisation of the association. The members were accused of having set on foot a secret society, and having held meetings without the requisite official authorisation. Prosecutions were commenced, and the association was assailed with repeated convictions. What, it was asked, was the cause of this sudden change For fifteen years the Imperial Government had assiduously cultivated the affections of the French workmen, had flattered them, had endeavoured to bribe them with subsidies and indulgences, and for a time Napoleon 111. was successful. But, as the true character of the Empire was revealed, the workmen grew coldly hostile. In 1862 and 1864 they carried the elections in Paris in favour of the Opposition. And then the Government imagined that they saw in the Inter national Association a medium through which the con tagion of Liberal ideas might be communicated from the metropolis to the provinces. If this was the fear which inspired the Emperor with the notion of keeping down the combinations of labour by the strong hand of the law, it overshot its mark ; and, unless we are mistaken, the coming elections will skew that the Imperial policy is justly appreciated by the French working man. A rather unreasonable outcry, says the Daily News, has lately been raised against the introduction of the new Russian railway loans in this market. There is no doubt that Russian securities have latterly regained a great portion of the popularity which they had previously lost, more especially where they possess a real intrinsic value apart from the simple Government guarantee. In the first place the money is wanted for the best of all pur poses, that of developing the enormous internal resources of one of the largest empires in the world. In no way could English capital be more advantageously employed than in increasing, or rather creating the means of conveyance in a country which is already intimately allied to us in commerce. Any contrivance which can faciitate the transport of native products reacts upon our own prosperity by making a corresponding addition to the consumers of our own goods. With reference to the safety of these investments, they possess the double advantage of being based on tangible real property and of also receiving the Government guarantee. For the first few years it is likely enough that the subscribers will have to depend upon the latter security for their interest. Later they will probably be independent of this exceptional resource, since as traffic increases, and the wealth of the district is developed, the actual profits will more than suffice to meet the dividends. This is, of course, always the contingency of such calamities as foreign and aggressive war, which may throw back the material progress of the people for at least one generation; but every day will lessen this possibility. Russia, growing rich by trade, will be a very different nation for future Czars to deal with than that ruled over by the late Emperor Nicholas. SERMON ON THE ABE.RGELE ACCIDENT. In compliance with a request from the employ& of Euston station and the members of a Foresters' Lodge holding its meetings in the neighbourhood, a sermon was preached at St. Matthew's Church, Oakley-square, by the vicar, the Rev. Charles Phillips, on Sunday afternoon, to a very large and attentive congregation. The rev. gentle• man took his text from Ecclesiastes, chap. 9, verse 12, and preached a very impressive and appropriate discourse. Allusion was made to the importance of a future state to all people, the possibility of sudden death, and the many types of man's mortality afforded by the works of the Creator, and the decay going on around us. He stated how desirable it was to act under a sense of duty and endea vour to discharge with fidelity the tasks allotted to persons of all vocations in life. A very feeling tribute of respect was paid to the memory of the guard, William Smith, so recently a member of the congregation. His conduct towards an aged mother, as well as a husband and father of eight children, were eloquently spoken of. The church was crowded with reverent and most attentive hearers, and the sight of the widow and fatherless children was affecting in the extreme. No collection was made after the service, but, as already stated, a number of gen tlemen have formed themselves into a committee, and sub scriptions for the widow and family of the late guard, Smith, may be forwarded to the treasurer, Dr. Henry Charles Andrews, of 1, Oakley-square, St. Pancras, or to Mr. E. A. Chaston, of the National Bank, Camden Town. PASTORAL AID AND POLITICS. The Rev. Philip Hains, incumbent of St. George's, Wigan, last week delivered a lecture at Accrington, in support of Mr. Gladstone's proposal to disestablish the Irish Church. At the commencement of his address he said that it must be taken into consideration that the clergymen of the Church of England were under a variety of influences, and some of these influences were so strong that it was almost impossible—at any rate most hazardous —to be outspoken on this subject (the Irish Church), and to give their adherence to Mr. Gladstone. He would give them an instance of what he meant. He was acquainted with a clergyman, and knew him well, the minister of a large parish—a parish containing 13,000 souls. Ile had a grant given to him by the Pastoral Aid Society for the maintenance of a curate. He had not taken a prominent position on the Irish Church question, but had written five or six letters to the newspapers, and had made a couple of speeches during the last few months in favour of Mr. Gladstone's resolutions. The result was, that some kind friend in the neighbourhood had sent them to the headquarters in London, and the gentleman in question had received a communication to the effect that the grant of the Pastoral Aid Society was not given to men who were occupying prominent positions in the political world. He replied that it was not because he had taken a prominent position in the political world, but because he had spoken in favour of Mr. Gladstone, that opposition was made to him, and had he spoken against Mr. Gladstone, no one would have spoken against him. But they replied that, according to his own chewing, he was occupying a position he ought not to occupy, and they trusted there would be no necessity for writing to him again on the subject ; in other words, giving him a hintjby no means of an obscure character, that if he adhered to Mr. Gladstone's policy the grant would be withdrawn from his curate. The curate was a most excellent man, with no political opinions, married, and had four children, with a grant of £lOO a year from the society, which was to be withdrawn from him because his incumbent was taking a prominent part in politics. Now the clergyman was placed in a dilemma. However, he decided that truth and rectitude with him should guide his actions, that he would leave consequences in the hands of God ; and the response of the clergyman to that last Threatening was, that he then stood before them on that platform. MR. BUTT AT LIMERICK. Mr. Butt has delivered his promised lectur! at Limerick. The most remarkable passage in the lecture was the following, on the subject of evictions for mere gain : " On this subject, he said,lhe did notattribute to the entire landlord class the wrongs inflicted by a few of them. All the Southern planters were not Legrees, but as slavery fell in the Southern States of America because there were Legrees, he believed landlordism in Ireland was not safe if its powers were left to William Scullys and Adairs. The slight decrease in the emigration recently alluded to by the Duke of Abercorn at Derry, he (Mr. Butt) believed was caused by a reviving hope that Parliament might do something to secure their holdings to the tenants, and one of the reasons why he felt a hesitation in coming there that evening, or in taking part in any political action in Ireland, was because he was afraid of being a party to exciting hopes in the people that might again be doomed to disappointment. He should not be telling the whole truth if he did not say, also, that the emigration had been stayed by a dangerous reliance by the people upon a hope of coming deliverance, not by constitu.i nal means ; and very many were waiting only to see wl eti er it came or not. If these hopes were disappointed—if the Legislature put no check upon the arbitrary power of the landlord, and another attempted insurrection had to be crushed—and that one would be crushed, if it were crushed, in blood—they would see an exodus from Ireland compared with which all they had seen was but trifling. The spectacle would be that of a god-like people who, leaving their temples, and shaking the dust from their feet, would say, Let us arise, and let us go hence f and then Europe would be startled by the wail of a nation that left its curse to its oppressors. He knew there were people who would say, ' Let them go, and let Englishmen take their place.' Did they think the Irish people would submit to that, or that when they went they would not carry with them feelings of vengeance ?" LAW AND POLICE. SENDING EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS BY RAILWAY.-At the Manchester City Police Court Frederick Hill, match dealer, Oak-street, Shudehill, has been charged by the London and North Western Railway Company with having, on the 15th August, delivered to the company a quantity of hydro-carbon gas matches without marking their nature on the outside of the packages, or giving notice thereof to the servants of the company. The information was pre ferred under the Railway Clauses Consolidated Act, 1845. The Act sets forth that if any person shall send by a railway any aquafortis, oil of vitriol, gunpowder, lucifer matches, or any other goods which in the judg ment of the company, were of a dangerous nature, with out distinctly marking their nature. on the outside, or giving notice in writing to the servants of the company, he renders himself liable to a penalty of £2O, which cannot be mitigated. The goods in question were in transit from Manchester to Stockport, when one of the boxes was broken, so that the contents were exposed. The defendant, who did not deny the charge, was convicted in the fall penalty of £2O. "ICONOCLAST'S" LECTURES.— At Manchester on Saturday an application was renewed to the stipendiary magistrate to put down Mr. Charles Bradlaugh's lectures on the same grounds that Murphy's were suppressed. In giving his decision the magistrate said that the cases of Murphy and Bradlaugh were different, as in the case of the former it was sworn that elsewhere by reason of the lectures there had been riots and disturbances, but with Mr. Bradlaugh such was not the case. KIDNAPPING CnILDREN.—A strange story comes from Chicago of a systematic kidnapping of children there. It is said to have been discovered that they arc seized, and driven away to a great distance, where they are kept gagged in a house surrounded by high-walled grounds. A Chicago paper suggests that the children are wanted as subjects for dissection. A New York paper hints that there may be a view to rewards likely to be offered, and also that the story may be exaggerated. THE PROPOSED VOLUNTEERS' VISIT TO BRUSSELS. —A meeting was held on Saturday, at Parkside, Albert gate, of the executive committee, appointed by the general committee, of which the Prince of Wales is honorary presi dent, for the purpose of arranging the details connected with the proposed meeting of the British Volunteers at Brussels about the 21st inst. Colonel Thompson occupied the chair, and Colonel Beresford, the honorary secre tary, stated that from the correspondence which had come to hand there might be expected not less than 300 efficient volunteers to attend at Brussels. It was resolved that the £l5O given by the King of the Bel gians for competition among the English Volunteers should be shot for with any military rifle (without fancy sights), as is allowed in the Tir-National itself, while the prizes given by the committee to be shot for by Belgians and English will be competed for with the regu lation arms of both countries, which will be the Enfield on our side, as the Snider is not yet the regulation arm of the force. Captain Dighton, of the London Rifle Brigade, undertook to start off at once to Brussels in order to confer with the directors of the Tir-National as to their arrangements ; and Colonel Maltby undertook to inquire as to the cheapest means of transit, and also to arrange about special rates for the Volunteers entered to shoot. The cheapest route yet offered is that of Cook's, by the Great Eastern, rid Antwerp, which is a very pleasant way an good boats and express trains, the return fare, first :lass and saloon, being only 30s. The entrance fee is 10s. to the special prizes, and without the pass of the com mittee no one, in uniform or out, will be recognised as a ►glteer, ROMAN AFFAIRS. (From the Correspondent of the Westminster Gazette.) ROCCA DI PAPA, Aug. 29. In spite of the moderate and unostentatious line of conduct adopted by Cardinal de Reisach in entering the usurped portion of the Roman State to take possession of his see, the Italian Government has nevertheless resolved to molest him. A process has been commenced against him for so-called " usurpation" of his title, and for coming to take possession of his cathedral church (part of the Roman territory) without the exequatur of the Government which has usurped it. He had been appointed by the Pope to the See of Sabina, and had no choice but to take possession of it in the Cathedral of Magliano ; but, to give no unnecessary offence, he refused all public demonstrations at his entry, and decided to make it by night. It is true numbers of people gathered round him, and some went out to meet him outside the town, but while he could not repress such evidences of cordial goodwill, he allowed no thing which could be construed into an appear ance of triumph or bravado. It does not ap pear that this is likely to weigh with those who are bent on opposing him. The 4th of September is named for the audience in which M. de Sartiges will take his farewell of the Pope., His successor is M. de Bonneville, in spite of the assurance in the Independance Beige that M. dePersigny has been intriguing for the post, and is expected to replace him by the end of next week. But I have not heard from Paris the date of his leaving, as the inundations in Swiczerland and Savoy have caused vexatious detentions of let- ters and papers. One of the acts of the last Consistory, which I think I failed to note at the time, was to create Mgr. Namenowsky Vicar-Apostolic- General of the Prussian army, with the title of Bishop of Agatopolis in partibus, the effect of which will be to give Berlin a resident Catholic bishop. The parish church of S. Michael will serve as the pro-Cathedral. The Italian papers continue to harp upon two notes. The first, how to find out some means of inducing the Emperor to withdraw his troops from Civita Vecchia, a discovery towards which they seem to have made no ap proach as yet, but still their orders are to con tinue writing it up ; and the second to argue what may be hoped of the popular assemblies, for deliberating on the state of the country, to be held shortly in various towns, and notably at Naples, where Garibaldi has been invited to take part. One of them had gone so far as to assert that the Florence Parliament will be dissolved, in order to leave the deputies free scope to act each in their respective centres. The Perseveranza affirms that the first act of the Naples Assembly will be to declare Rome the capital of Italy ; of course the second and the third and all the remainder will be to de vise means for getting possession of it. Mean time the satisfaction of the Roman people with their own Government, and their determination to have nothing to do with any attempt at change, continues• to offer -a- striking com mentary on the nature of that''ivhich.' it is sought to foist upon them. The Gazelle d' Italia occasionally enlivens its readers with manifestoes, purporting to ema nate from a " Roman democratic association." They are frantic appeals to the Romans to join the revolution. The latest of them is worth notice, for, in the first place, it is fain to confess that though dated " Rome," they are really written in Florence ! Further, the terms of the appeal are a fresh acknowledgment of the utter abstention of the people of Rome from the commotions of last autumn. "The last attempt was the work of imported Garibaldians, and a few shopkeepers. Hence the bitter defeat, the disillusions, the painful conse quences, the thankless relinquishment, making us the scapegoat of the affair. The majority of the Roman people held themselves aloof, not only from all participation in, the act itself, but even in, any antecedent demonstration." And then it discloses the disunion reigning between the various sections of the democratic party, and their readiness to throw discredit on each other, the insignificant fraction of the Roman people which was mixed up in it, was made the instrument of the iniquitous policy of the National Committee, which shamefully deceived, defrauded, and betrayed •it. The weather continues intensely hot in the daytime, with a sudden lowering of tempera ture, accompanied by heavy dews in the nights. If this continues, it will not be possible to keep the troops here so long as was talked of last week. I saw a third Zou.ave funeral to-day ; but I am not sure that the weather has to bear the blame of all three losses. Still, anyhow, the general health is certainly not so good as it was a little while ago, and every day I see several sent up to Rome to go to hospital. If there is one respect in which I should like to see our army better provided, it would be with ambulance waggons. There seems to me a lamentable deficiency in this respect. The sick who have passed my windows lately have been conveyed in the common ice-carts of the coun try, and the discomfort of this mode of trans port is distressing to witness. But it would be more serious if it came to be wounded men who had to be so conveyed. I have often had occasion to enlarge upon the praiseworthy economy of the administration, as well as upon the general attention to the wellbeing of the men, and I am persuaded nothing but defici ency of means would have occasioned the ab sence of such necessary appliances. And yet it is not a great sum that is required, and not ruorq than one or two individuals might readily put together. I sincerely wish that the spirit which rendered such ready and abundant assistance to the men in the Crimea, as soon as their wants and sufferings were made known at home, would inspire some charitable hearts to hasten to provide our devoted soldiers here with so desirable an assistance, bearing in mind that great as are the general powers of endur ance of our countrymen, for going through hard work and fatigue of various kinds better than most, changes of temperature tell upon them sooner than upon others, and in sending such help at this moment, it is specially on them the boon would be conferred. The spirit of the troops is all the same . — in excellent condition. They have been all the week occupied with preparations for a day of athletic sports, which came off with great suc cess on Thursday ; a brighter day could not have been. Although the games were not to begin till three in the afternoon, crowds of persons of every degree, in carriages and carts on horseback, donkey-back, and on foot, came' flocking in all day from an early hour in the morning from all the neighbouring villages, as well as from Frascati and Albano, and from Rome itself no less. The piece of ground allotted for the games was that contiguous to the platform, put up on the occasion of the Pope's visits, and when he sat to receive the homage of the various colleges when they were admitted to the bacio del piede. It was on this occasion fitted with seats for the ladies, and commanded an excellent view of the sports. Here Princess Orsini, Prince and Princess Sar sana, Prince and Princess Lancelotti, Marchese Serlupi, Prince Borghese and his sons, Prince and Princess Barberini, Mgri. Pacca and Casali, as well as a host of less illustrious Romans and the sprinkling of foreigners who are always to be found hanging about Rome even in August, found place, and here ices, etc., were liberally served throughout. The programme included many trials of skill, but regard had been had chiefly to general amusement in the selection. In front of the ladies' stand was a table on which the prizes were arranged. They comprised a silver race cup bearing the inscription, " Corse ai Campi d'Ansibale, 27 Agosto, 1868." Three watches, one of which was given by Lieut. Franquinet, who subsequently won the cup ; pipes, riding whips, portemonnaies, packets of cigars, &c., and a beautifully embroidered blue velvet ban ner. The more laborious sports completed, the next amusement was theatricals,. given at a theatre erected on purpose almost on the slope of Monte Cavi, and inscribed "Teatro di Marte (Mars' Theatre). The first piece Was a drama, dealing rather too freely in murders to be very pleasing ; the second was a very spirited and well-acted pantomime, in which the genuine Italian Arlecchino and Pagleaccio ("clown" being the nearest English equivalent by which I can render the latter) appeared in full humour. There was another character very well put in. It was a small person, appearing to wear an enormous head. This actor had a genuine appreciation of gesture-language ' and he contrived to make every movement ludi crous, without any exaggeration ; and at the end, when he came to be hanged, for such was his fate, as he passed his grout's head through the noose the neck lengthened out to an incre dible extent, and continued lengthening till the curtain fell. The female parts were in- tensely grotesque and well sustained. There were some pieces sung, and an Italian Zouave declaimed a piece of poetry between the acts. Towards evening a fire-balloon was sent up, but by far the most beautiful effect of the day was kept for the last. It was an illumination, in which many hundred men of the depot, there fore of the rawest and least trained, were formed into a living and moving framework, for the production of varied luminous patterns. The quickly falling darkness of a Southern evening had hardly closed around us as we were guided back to the grand stand, when we found the air suddenly alive again with hundreds of lights, flitting like gigantic firefles over the plateau. Suddenly the band struck up, and a loud word of command from De Charette resounded, and the fireflies silently and in perfect order gathered themselves into the ap pearance of a huge serpent, interlacing his shining coils into a perfect maze. Another command and the serpent stretched itself into a straight line, which was subsequently bent and broken into a hundred mathematicalfigures and elaborate devices, dazzling the eye with their constant but perfectly regular motion ; at one time a helix seemed to be pouring itself out in the rapid succession of its concentric curves, and at another a vast wheel of flame was rending over the plain, the spiral spokes turning in a contrary direction from the outer ring, like the ceaseless spreading and twisting of the chromatrope. Though darkness and dis• tance concealed the moves of the fiery lines, you felt that they kept perfect time to the music of the band. Presently the band gave the Pontifical hymn and a word from Col. de Charette, like a stroke of an enchanter's wand, brought out in letters of flame, streaking the great hill-side, the tribute dearest to every heart assembled there, ." VV (evviva) Pio Nono." An irresistible burst of what may more properly be called delight than merelyapplause, burst from every one present, and the cry "Evviva Pio Nono," was taken up by the people and echoed back by the mountains. There is no doubt also that a, good share of the ahoUts and claps and hurrahs, was dictated by the genuine recognition of Col. de Charette's skill and success in conceiving and carrying out and affording to the public, the very beautiful and appropriate qXhibition, Trie'day:wound up in due militilrefaiiii4i*lairo tct or even tatoo, pederinatqinEtis occasion by the whole lanterned host--for the fireflies were men bearing coloured lanterns on the ends of their muskets —winding through the camp lines, playing and singing as they went, and then red and blue Bengal fire lighted up the place while the assembly dispersed. The only drawback to the comp l e te enjoy ment of the day was the absence o f Madame Kanzler, who is gone to Vichy for her health, and whose interest in all that concerns the men makes her, of course, duly popular among them. It is not expected that the Pope will take any other outing this year than his visits to the camp, notwithstanding that Rome has been very hot, and he has been much urged to take change of air. I cannot forbear quoting on this propos the following interesting paragraph from the pen of Mgr. Anivitti :—" It is the delight of most sovereigns to beautify their palaces and country-seats, and render them delightful by the amenity of their position and the refinement of their arrangements. Pius IX. has his villas no less, which it is his great pleasure to lay out to the best advantage; but they are—the Villa Gabrielli, which is de voted to the advancement of agricultural know ledge ; the Villa Barberini, which serves as a place of diversion for those mentally afflicted; the Vigna Pia, where the boys of his indus trial school are taught husbandry ; the Villa Santucci, which affords pure air to the pupils of the Seminario Pio; the Villa Palatina, which makes ample pleasure ground for the college boys of S. Sirigi attached to the University of Sant' Apollinare ; the Orto Botanico, for the cultivation of rare an d usef ul plants, and more phar macopoe i a; and if the gardens destined boys o f th e night schools,. in which he tak es the ,, other for that in the Trastevere, last June. last, f e o s r p t c bh i especially l no ot enjoymentli those means o of the eoafs t for or theso gr sc e h a o t ol in o t f er t e h s e t e l n B e s d 3, b a y u ldin d B:r u g e o in P.S._Cardinal Reisach's affair has had a very remarkable denouement, and one which will have the effect of confirming his authority over the minds of his flock, much more than any opposition of the Italian Government will serve to lessen it. After due debate and form of law, the Cardinal was found guilty of the offence with which he was charged—of setting at nought the (usurped) power of the Govern ment, and of taking possession of his see fur nished only with the authorization of the right ful sovereign, and his arrest was consequently decreed. But l'homme propose, et Dieu dispose. The order for his arrest, despatched in all haste, is delayed by an incident, before which even the reckless Government of Victor Emmanuel is powerless. An inundation renders com munication impracticable) and the sentence becomes powerless. Meantime the Cardinal has finished the work he came out to perform —has satisfied all the canonical obligations, and all traditional ceremonies, has received the homage of his flock, and made their personal 1 acquaintance. His work complete, no inunda tion hinders his peaceful return to his Roman residence. But the warrant of arrest only reaches Magliano after he is safe at home. *** The following arrived too late for our impression last week :--- ROCCA DI PAPA, Aug. 22. The sham sieges ca m e off on Thursday, as arranged. The scene was very pretty in the midst of this beautiful country—the only fault was that, perhaps owing to the heat, there was a little want of animation. Nearly all the Zouaves stationed here took part in it ; most of the Dragoons and Artillery, with four guns, and the Cacciatori. They left the camp about half-past four, and arrived before Castel Gon dolfo soon after six. Castel Gondolfo was un defended, and the attack had only to be made upon old walls and hedges; but at Albano they formed into two parties—one erecting defence, barricaded with surprising celerity, to which the storming party set fire. They began to arrive back at the camp soon after six in the evening; all the visitors staying at Rocca di Papa, including the King ofNaples, who came up to the entrance of the camp to see them come in. They took nearly two hours filing past. Many a beardless face had got well bronzed under the day's exertions. The Maro nite chief, Y - ussouf Karam, who, in company with two Oriental priests, has been staying for some days with General Kanzler, rode by his side all day. He was dressed in a mag nificently embroidered blue and gold suit, and attracted much attention from the peasant spectators, some of whom imagined he must be the King of Spain ! It is said that •he pro posed a troop of his countrymen for the Pope's service. If he is a fair representative of their phisique they would form a fine-looking corps. Mgr. Stonor left on Wednesday for Eng land, and the English Zouaves are left to the care of F. Gurdon in spiritual matters. He has a short service for them every Friday, including an extempore address ; they attend it in good numbers, And join heartily in the hymns. A French Dominican then gives an address for the French, and afterwards there is benediction for all. All the different com panies have night prayers in common every evening, led sometimes by a chaplain, but generally by the Sergeant-Major, after the night appel, i.e. about 9.30. There is a report that some more of the new rifles are at last on their way from England. It is to be hoped this will prove correct, as it is expected that the troops at present here will remain on rather longer than was expected at first—that is, to the middle or end of Septem ber—so as to give them the opportunity of practising with them. Ordinarily rain might be expected before that date, but as we had so much more than usual in the early part of the year, we may perhaps yet hope that the rifles will come in for use before this befalls. ST. THOMAS A BECICET. In Archbishop Manning's lecture, delivered on Wednesday evening at Beaumont Insti tution, two points especially arrest attention. One is the idea which he desired to impress upon his hearers, that in raising a church to St. Thomas at Rome the Catholics of England were not merely providing another place of worship and another shrine to St. Thomas, but were bearing outward testimony to the unity of principle which bound Catholics of every country and every age together in their vene ration of St. Thomas, and giving visible ex pression at a time when it was most needed of the homage felt by every Catholic for the principles for which St. Thomas died ; for St. Thomas, as the Archbishop observed, was not only "a Saxon saint and English mar tyr, but a saint of the Catholic Church and martyr for the Church Universal." This idea is a complete answer to a common but superficial objection that churches are more needed in England than in Rome. But what is in reality more needed even than churches is that spirit, we may say that Catholic in stinct, which at once sees the moral fitness, on occasions, of rising above local wants and necessities, and taking part in a public act belonging to a higher order of ideas, and manifesting a deeper union of heart and mind than is ordinarily called for. The building of this Church of St. Thomas at Rome by English Catholics at this special juncture is, as we look at it, one of those rare occasions of testifying the higher union which links Catho lics of other days, like St. Thomas, with the Catholics of to-day in a community not only of faith but of trials and of dangers. It bespeaks the spiritual affinity which exists between us. In days like the present, when the evil prin ciples which raised the arm of violence against St. Thomas are active in instigating violence against the Successor of St. Peter and the Holy See, it behoves Catholics to testify, by some visible act, their veneration for the spirit which led St. Thomas to lay down his life for the freedom of the Church, and which animates, in like manner, the Vicar of Christ in his de fence of the independence of the Holy. See against the. viek„nce off'' an impious revolution. The other poilifalluded. to lay Archlish4 M4n , fling, we need only briefly refer-to. It is his courageous adherence to the fact which he has so triumphantly vindicated a g ainst critics in numerable in the Protestant press, that St. Thomas laid down his life in defence of reli gious liberty against the usurpations of the Civil Power and the arbitrary acts of the King done in violation of the law of England. Dr. Manning shows also that the principle of the independence of religion from the interference of the State is a principle dear to-day to the hearts of the Dissenters of England. St. Thomas is also an exemplar whom Anglicans ought to strive to follow, for no religionists in England have lost so much of the spirit of religious independence or fallen so much under State control as the unfortunate members of the Anglican Church. The Royal Supremacy in spiritual matters, which St. Thomas died rather than submit to, has been abjectly ac cepted by Anglicans. If they wish to regain Catholic liberty and Catholic truth they must begin by imitating the spirit of St. Thomas of Canterbury. They, beyond all others, ought to be grateful to Dr. Manning for bringing the name and conduct of our great English martyr so prominently under public notice, and we hope that not a few of them may have the grace to take part in Catholic homage to St. Thomas and his principles, by contributing to the building of a Church in his honour at Rome.— Westininster Gazette. THE LEGAL-TENDER ACT. - -4 6 - - (From the Anglo-American Times.) The Supreme Court of the United States is about 1 to deliver a judgment on the constitutionality of the Legal-Tender Act of 1862. Those who best . understand the composition of the Court are con- : vinced that it will decide against the legality of the Legal Tender. Of the eight judges, - four are De mocrats, whose party always affirmed the uncon stitutionality of the irredeemable currency, and two incline towards that party. The judges, DUDLEY, FIELD, GRIER, CLIFFORD, and NELSON, will, it is be lieved, pronounce the Act to be invalid, so it is pre sumed will Judge DAVIS and even Chief Justice CHASE, who, though the author and nicknamed "Old Greenbacks," will, it is said, favour the same opinion. The effect of such a judgment will be momentous and ramify over Europe, where millions of the national Securities are held. The greenback con troversy would then cease, and the question of re pudiation assume a naked form, and cease to be disguised for the benefit of those tender consciences who desire to be dishonest, but require a plausible pretext. Should the Court, from which there is no appeal, pronounce this judgment, the Government could not tender to its debtors as money that which the law of the United States decided not to be money, and Repudiation, narrowed to its simple issue—to be, or not to be—would require its advocates to stand forth shorn of all disguise. Then, too, would dis appear, the contrast so generally used to excite a mischievous feeling, " one currency for the rich and idle bondholder, and another for the poor hard working labourer." It is not easy to realize what the immediate effect would be. The greenback promises to pay must, of course, be fulfilled ; but those who carried these notes to the Treasury to be exchanged for gold would merely lose their time, for though the Treasury can manufacture green backs it cannot manufacture gold. An inconvert ible paper currency quickly attains the one end of sending the precious metal out of the countyr, for it depreciates the money it replaces, while the metal retains • its value elsewhere, and according to the laws of trade the discrepancy is equalized by its flow elsewhere. In case of the anticipated judgment, the old currency having evaporated while the new is declared to be no currency, what, under such circumstances, is that great nation with i:s great trade, thus deprived of every medium to barter, to do ? Legal or illegal, the people would be compelled to circelate greenbacks, and as such a decision will force the Government to redeem its depreciated paper at par, it ought to enhance, not lessen, its value. So many more additional millions of obligation would press for immediate settlement, and the holders would be compelled to hold till the Treasury could meet the claim. It is not by affecting the value of greenbacks that the decision would be felt, but in the innumerable transactions of barter, and what that effect would be is impos sible except for those intimately acquainted with the trade of the United States to predict. The law which made greenbacks a legal tender sacrificed millions to one class in expunging a large propor tion of the liabilities of debtors. Men who had lent gold on mortgage received back perhaps half the sum as the legal repayment, and in a country where one man's surplus is readily lent to develope the property of his neighbour, the loss to the lending class was enormous. The expected judgment would exactly reverse this, making the lender the gainer, for the sum he gave in greenbacks must be re funded in gold. Twice the Senate passed a bill for • allowing contracts to be made for payment in gold, 1_ but i n eac h case the House of IZepregentatises re- fused to concur. With such a judgment hanging over the country men will fear to lend, to borrow, or to make any contracts which bind them to a money payment at a distant period. Had the Senate's bill been passed this danger would have been avoided, for the contracts could then have been made in gold and legally be enforced, whereas now if gold be specified the contract is binding in honour, but not in law. Perhaps in saying this we go too far, as we understand that the Courts have lately inclined to enforce specie contracts, which with care may be so drawn out as to be legally bind ing. Security and a power of accurate calculation are main elements in the prosperity of trade, in which there are risks and liabilities enough without any legislative addition. Although we cannot fully esti mate the derangement likely to ensue on such a judg ment, we are convinced that among so acute a people, who so readily adapt themselves to circumstanc:s, they will quickly devise expedients to meet the case. One thing, however, looms through that mist—a forced return to specie payments. This will be severely felt, breaking hundreds of paper for tunes, and searching out everything weak and de ceptive. It would .be a strange end for the finan cial quidnuncs of the United States to have arrived at if the Supreme Codrt pronounces the Legal ren der Act unconstitutional, that the national trade, the second only in magnitude ou earth, should be without a currency. A KENTUCKY JOURNAL. From the Lexington Observer and Reporter, a semi weekly paper now in its 60th volume, may be gathered the doings and politics of Kentucky. Of course in that most Democratic of States the newspaper is Conservative—the SEYMOUR and BLAIR "ticket" in large letters preceding the leading article. The blooming majority" given by Kentucky for STEVENSON is alluded to with thankfulness, pride, and exultation. From 102 counties the majority as officially reported was 88,122, and, as ten more re main to be heard from, 90,000 was anticipated. The estimate for the electoral vote for President is so made up as to open the eyes of the Radicals. No only arc such doubtful States as Ohio and Pennsyl vania calculated for SEYMOUR, but Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New Hampshire among the Northern, and Alabama, Georgia, Texas, and Virginia among the Southern. Strange to say, too, Nevada, which even Republicans hesitate to count upon, is by the Lexington Observer awarded to the Radicals. The result is highly gratifying to the Kentuckians, and must be very encouraging indeed to SEYMOUR and BLAIR, who are assured that they will have a clear majority of 111 out of 315. Mr. RANCK, the editor, is prepared either by himself or through his friends to bet on his list. A notice is conspicuously given that $750 had been deposited in the office to back the follow ing States to cast their votes for the Democratic Presidential candidates ; " New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Connecticut, Oregon, New Jersey, Nevada, Delaware, Nebraska, Minnesota, Maine, and New Hampshire. From $5 to $5O will be offered on each State, but the whole number must be taken." The Observer is careful that there should be no mistake about its opinions, which iu'the utmost extreme are pronounced and one sided. Not content with its own, it everywhere culls the most decidel it can elsewhere find. Who is organizing our negro militia ? it asks. " They who have done so have placed Tennessee on the eve of a terrible and most desperate struggle, which, once begun in earnest, will only e eni in the utter exter mination of the blacks, and the heartless wretches who urge them to their doom." " These Radicals" seem to be panting for the inauguration of a ser vile war lhey want a pretext to flood Kentucky with troops," and the article closes with these words--" If we let the arming go on, we may find before the November election that these few little grains of trouble have grown into a broad purple harvest of death." This has reference only to the negroes, but the fol lowing quotation from one of its exchanges has more general application :—" Before we fight to regain our liberties, let us have recourse once more to the ballot. If we are not allowed a fair election in all the States, GOD have mercy on our oppressors." The National Intelligencer is quoted with evident satisfaction, as giving "an excellent summing up of the iniquities of Radicalism—the party of cant and spoil, of frauds, treachery, and imposture." To the death of THADDEUS STEVENS an article is devoted ; " the great, bad man who has taken with him (the editor does not say where) the brains and hopes of the Radical party." He sighs as " he looks back at the long black path of ruin and desolation THADDEUS scorched and burnt into this land, and mourns over what might have been if he had given to patriotism what he gave to fanaticism ; if he had thrown the heavy weight of his influence and talents on the side of the Constitution, justice,and humanity." There is a tone of respect for the consistency and honesty of the deceased, which cannot be traced in any allusion to General BUTLER. The Richmond Examiner furnishes some enjoyable matter regard ing " the Beast," as it calls him, who, " though the most callous and impenitent of thieves, has been made to roar like a pricked bull-calf." " From all sections of the country, from Maine to Alaska— from the North, the South, the East, and the West --worthless old spoons of wood, bone, horn, pew ter, tin, iron, and brass, pour in upon him at all hours. The plague of spoons is becoming more un endurable to BUTLER than a plague of frogs. Bas kets of spoons are brought to him from the Post office, and the express carts are constantly deliver ing them at his door. And the donor of each spoon accompanies his present with remarks by no meaus flattering to BUTLER'S integrity. And as the spoons are utterly worthless, they are said to drive " the Beast" almost mad with rage. Let the people of this country keep up this wholesome custom of sending BUTLER spoons. Let him be reminded every hour and day of his life that he is everywhere remembered as a robber of plate chests. Let every family make annually the votive offering of a broken and battered old spoon to B. F.' " The following gentleman then comes in for his share :—"Ex-Governor BROWN, of Georgia, the pro jector and superintendent of the Andersonville pri son pens and overseer of Wirz, has been pardoned by the Radical Congress, and is now president of a GRANT club. And ail the loyal' whelps whine Amen !' " Grant is made the subject of an histori cal parallel, and to get one of sufficient atrocity the history of England is ransacked to the acces sion of Richard 1., when a furious persecution of the Jews took place, ending in the s •If-destruction of 500 of the Israelites. This furnishes a parallel to GRANT'S edict, but the writer hopes an antithesis also, as the Jews, instead of committing suicide, are going to vote en masse against the tyrant. 'rho State news, as any one would expect in Kentucky, begins with a free fight. A man is found dead at the style block of his mother's resi dence, how, is evident by a shot hole through his neck, and the cause of the s!iot hole is explained by an attack made the previous night on the house of Mr. MASON Lucas, a mile distant. The vic tim and two brothers of Mrs. Lucis intended to chastise Mr. LUCAS for improper treatment of his wife. When they arrived at the house they began firing through the windows, and Mr. LUCAS, utterly ignorant who were his assailants, threw himself into the fight. Bullets were flying about in the dark, and one of them went through JAMES POUN DEXTER'S neck. In large letters an article is headed " Ku-Max in Paris." Here's ago ! we thought. We have the Fenians in London, and no small scare, but what has the French metropolis done to bring the Ku-Klux there? A glance at the article re assures us, the Kentucky and not the French Paris being meant; and we are further assured by the declaration, that no such organization exists even there. Inked, the Observer says that it does not exist in the State, being a mere creation of the Republican imagination to get arms for the Southern Radicals, and to alarm the negroes into using them. We draw the attention of subscribers in arrears.to the following use to which the Ku- Klux may be put. The Hartsville Vidette strikes terror into delinquents after this fashion : KU-KLUX ! KU-KLUX !

But the Observer is not content with a hint to subscribers only. Alluding to STEPHEN GIR RARD, it shows that he made his immense wealth by a la,vish and judicious system of advertising, which he considered to be the great medium of success in business, and the prelude to wealth. " And 1 have made it an invariable rule, too, to advertise in the dullest times as well as the busiest, long experience having taught me that money thus spent is well laid out." " Oar city," says the Editor, " has been the Athens of the West'—just stop a moment and listen how finely that sounds—' Lexington, the Athens of the West.' Grand isn't it ? Makes one feel proud, don't it? Well, thi3 same Athens has a public library, that after an existence of more than sixty years can actu ally boast of no less than eleven thousand volumes, two hundred yearly readers, and a probable yearly addition of a hundred books. Look at it again. Only eleven thousand volumes accumulated in sixty-seven years ! Only two hundred readers out of a population of over twenty thousand souls, and the insignificant number of one hundred volunies added each year. Does that sound very Athenian ? It strikes us that one puncture of that needle ought to cause the expanding bubble pf our pride to collapse at once. What liberal-minded citizen will not blush to see this mortifying statement, which shameful as it is is none the less true." From this interesting subject the editor turns to " chicken thieves, who are getting thick again, or rather continue thick, for they have never decreased in number. We are constantly hearing of numbers of chickens being stolen, and the thieves don't seem to hesitate to almost walk right into the house of ter them. If some of our citizens could succeed in peppering' some of these light-fingered gentry pretty soundly it would be a good thing. In the meanwhile we would advise chickens to roost high and sleep with their legs drawn up and one eye open."
