LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 5, 1868. Mr. DISRAELI has acted wisely, and so the event will prove. The crowds of members who thronged the House yesterday afternoon were present at an interesting and excithig scene, and it was also an important one in many respects. The situation of the Government is somewhat peculiar, but we defy the most captious critic, or the most jealous scrutineer among his opponents, to say that the Premier has acted in an unconstitutional manner, or shown any anxiety to remain in office inconsistent with the claims of honour or the rules of precedent. As Mr. DISRAELI intimated to the House yesterday, he placed his resignation in the hands of her MAJESTY. It is satisfactory to know that the right hon. gentleman has done this, though in reality he was not called upon to do so, because such an act silences the malicious insinuations of some who ought to know better than to give utterance to them. In a lengthened statement Mr. DISRAELI explained to the House the state of affairs, and the result of his information was pretty much what the initiated expected from previous remarks on the subject. When we come to consider the matter closely, we must come to the conclusion that it is Mr. GLADSTONE who is the author of this singular and somewhat unprecedented state of affairs, and not Mr. DISRAELI. It is, therefore, most unfair for the leader of the Opposition and his most vehement supporters to take the line of argument they do, and to exclaim at the strange turn events have taken. If any one reads the speech of Mr. DISRAELI attentively through we believe that he must feel convinced that the right hon. gentleman has acted in a manner the most becom ing and the most patriotic. A Minister has duties to perform, and sometimes it may be more hard to remain in office than to resign. We cannot see that there was any reason why the Ministry should resign, and as for a dissolution it must be evident that such an event could not in reality interfere irregularly with the order of things. The consti tuencies have never been tried on this question of the Irish Church, and it is worthy of notice that at the last general election which took place under the auspices of Lord PALMERSTON, Mr. GLADSTONE, then leader of the House of Commons, declared to one of his constituents that the question was so re mote that in his day he might never be called upon to consider it. This shows the extreme inconsis tency of the course the right hon. gentleman is now pursuing in upsetting the business of tlit House, disturbing the legislation of the year, and all for what?—that the House may pronounce its opinion upon a subject which it cannot possibly ever be able to settle. Iu 1852, and again in 1859, as Mr. DISRAELI stated last night, his party had resigned office, notwithstanding many representations to the contrary that were made to them ; still they deemed it advisable to do so. But the present First Lord of the Treasury, who had the decision left to him on those occasions, feels very justly now that circum stances are altered. One point of especial importance we would refer to, and it bears directly on the resignation part of the matter which some touched upon so strongly yesterday. Mr. DISRAELI declared that he had been told by many hon. members that they did not look upon the decision of the 3d of April in the light of a censure upon Government, though they bad voted in the majority; and no wonder they did so, because it was not such a thing at all, and only mo st partial and pt.( judiced minds could consider it in that view. Nothing could be fairer than the course Mr. DISRAELI has taken. He proposes to give Mr. GLADSTONE the earliest possible night to complete his Resolutions. As for the second and third, though meeting them with a direct negative, Mr. DISRAELI does not deem it advisable to enter into_ protracted debates and formal divisions upon them. It would be much better to have the appeal m. do to the new constituencies instead of to tho old ones, and Mr. DISRAELI be lieves that with the assistance of Parliament tb is could be done in the autumn of this year. The QUEEN has acted in the usual Constitutional man ner which distinguishes her, and given Mr. Dm- PAELI every facility for carrying on the business of the country. We aro surprised that the heat of debate, or the excitement of discussion, should have i nade Mr. Aurrox forget himself so far as to ask whether the business of the Government was to be C arried on by her MAJESTY or her MAJESTY'S Ministers until the dissolution. Mr. LOWE was v ery bitter in his observations, and declared that no concessions had been made to the house after the votes taken on the Irish Church question. This was very absurd, but the real secret of all these strictures is that great disappointment is felt at the failure of the attempt to send the Ministry out. Mr. BRIGHT was in his worst style yesterday, and treated the House to his bitter strain of oratory. lle went so far as to declare that it was for the purpose of keeping in power that Mr. DISRAELI resorted to so outrageous a demand. The hon. member for Birmingham, as we all know, becomes very incoherent when he is annoyed, and, therefore, it is not surprising to find him saying that the Ministry have no right to remain in office when they can carry nothing but a sixpenny income-tax. This is strange, when they had pressed on a reform bill that baffled the skill and paralysed the ener gies of the Liberal party for years. Mr. GLADSTONE'S own observations were charac terised by great bitterness, and his remarks on dis solutions in general were most extraordinary. He seemed entirely to forget that Lord PALMERSTON had dissolved Parliament in 1859 on the China question, but it is sometimes as convenient to have a bad memory as a good one. It is true that Mr. GLADSTONE consented to give up the motion he had referred to, but he said so with a very bad grace indeed, and showed all along that he was incensed and mortified at the turn affairs have taken. his duty compelled him not to make any compromise with the Government, and he mentioned the fact of the overwhelming majority as a point that showed the Ministry had no right to appeal for it. This is simply absurd, because if the Government deny the House the right of deciding the question whether it affirms by a small or a large majority that such a step must be taken cannot alter the abstract part of the affair. In his second speech Mr. DISRAELI spoke out strongly and to the pur pose, with a spirit worthy of the occasion, and in a confident manner, that must have its weight on the House and the country. He was not driven from his former position by any of the taunts and threats that had come so glibly from some, but he stood firm, and retaliated on those who had assailed him. The right hon. gentleman always rises to the height that is due on these occasions, and certainly during the whole period of his career he was never more unjustly assailed or unfairly dealt with than he was last night. There has been so much jealousy dis played since he came into office as Premier that it proves most unmistakeably the motive that has urged on the attack on the subject of the Irish Church. There was an overwhelming display of invective in the speeches of Mr. GLADSTONE, Mr. BRIGHT, Mr. LOWE, and some others, but we think they were met by the decided remarks of Mr. DISRAELI. He repeated the substance of what he had said before with respect to the resignation he had tendered to her MAJESTY, and in discussing some other remarks on the ques tion, he adverted to Mr. BRIGHT'S habit of quoting from newspapers, and declaring that members of the Government have written this or that passage. Referring to the right hon. gentleman the member for Calne, he said that his speech was characterised by all that ability and suavity of demeanour which rendered him such a favourite with the house, and in this he alluded to certain events in a disparaging tone. lle said that the vote on the Resolutions was in reality a vote of no confidence in the Govern m'ent. This taunt Mr. DISRAELI met very properly. HP said " If this was the object, why not be straight ward about it and say directly what they meant ? if you wish to pass a vote of want of confidence, propose a want of confidence. Let the case be fairly argued, let the House give a deliberate opinion on the subject, and let the country judge." This is a statesmanlike manner of treating the subject, and we believe that what has occurred in both Houses of Parliament last night will naturally strengthen the position of Government. People now see what a factious Op position Mr. DISRAELI has to encounter, and may form their own judgment as to the propriety of Mr. GLADSTONE'S conduct. Anything like unfair ness is always to be reprobated, and we consider that Mr. DISRAELI has not met with justice, to say nothing of generosity, from some of his political op ponents. But the country is to decide after the j u dgment of the House has been recorded; and cer tainly the right hon gentleman has no cause to fear the result of an appeal either to the old or the new constituencies, and be the period of dissolution short or long the voice of public opinion will con demn the manceuvres of the Liberal party this session. The great scene of interest in a Ministerial crisis is almost invariably the House of Commons. It is there that the battle is fought with the greatest heat and energy, and there that the generals who command the respective parties marshal their forces, and arrange their terms of treaty. Of late years we have generally had the Prime Minister in the Lower House, which is, in fact, his proper position, and consequently a Ministerial statement comes in the Commons from the head of the Government himself. The habitual quiet and easy life of the Peers is seldom much stirred, even on such occasions; and, in fact, many of those who take the warmest interest in questions of the day are often to be found in the Peers' gallery of the House of Commons rather than sitting in their proper places amid the unimpassioned splendours of the House of Lords. The statement made by the Earl of MAL MESBURY on behalf of the Government last evening was of course substantially the same as that made by Mr. DISRAELI in the Commons, though very much briefer, and with no reference to previous events. It was sufficient, however, to call up Earl GREY, who was very anxious to disclaim any acquiescence in the course proposed by her MA JESTY'S Ministers. His lordship is not so much in the habit of agreeing with any one that he should be apprehensive on this score, his dissent being much more generally looked for than his assent. Lord GREY denied that the Government, on being de feated in the Commons, had a right to ask the CROWN to dissolve Parliament, but his definition of the constitutional law of the matter showed a dis tinction without a difference. He says such a course was only permissible when there are strong reasons for thinking that the . House of Commons did not represent the feelings of the country ; that, in fact, it is a course which is only justified by success. A good many political proceedings may come under he same head ; but the truth is, that the Minis terial success is their worst fault in the eyes of the Opposition. Whatever Earl GREY'S individual opinion on the matter, the real political offence of the Conservative Ministry is that they have 'succeeded too well. They have taken the Whigs' work out of their unwilling and tardy hands and done it for them, thereby depriving them alike of the glory of doing it, and of the advantage of making professions about it. The only manner in which they could condone their offences would be by getting out of their adversaries' way as fast as possible, and the proposal of a dissolution giving them another chance, and sending the Whigs to the coun try with very little to talk about is naturally most unwelcome. Lord FEVERSIIAM, who spoke out boldly on the general position of affairs, retorted upon the Opposition the charge of extra ordinary and unprecedented conduct. After the much-regretted resignation of Lord DERBY, it was clear, said Lord FEVERSIIAM, that the leader of the party in the Commons had a right to succeed and the least that Mr. DISRAELI had a right to ex pect from Parliament was that he should have a fair field. This, however, has not been allowed him. On the very night upon which the Prime Minister went down to the House of Commons to assume the reins of government, the noble earl, the leader of the Opposition in the Lords, thought fit to deliver a most bitter attack upon him, before the distribution of the offices was even completed. Lord FEVERSIIAM admitted that there were some difficulties attending the dissolution, but he complained that the Opposition had brought forward this difficult question in such an inopportune time and manner. The proper business of this session was in his opi nion to complete the work of last year ; to pass the Scotch and Irish Reform Bills, the Bribery Bill, and the Boundary Bill, which would surely have been sufficient for one session. Was it not ,he asked, taking an unfair advantage of the Ministry to bring forward a question like the disestablish ment of the Irish Church at a time when it was difficult for them to dissolve Parliament ? Cer tainly the manifest disappointment and annoyance with which some prominent opponents of the Go vernment heard their intentions last night would seem to indicate that they bad relied upon this acknowledged difficulty for the furtherance of their plans. The conduct of some of our politicians in a crisis of this kind reminds one of the story of the lad flourishing his latest editions and shouting, " Great news, great news !" " What is it ?" asks an unwary passenger. " Shilling, sir," is the immediate answer. Not a crumb of informa tion will be vouchsafed until he has secured the inevitable shilling, whether his news be worth it or no. And thus the great political necessities, the grave changes in which the honour and interests of the country are so deeply involved, will too often, on a little further inquiry, resolve themselves into the little word " Place !" LATEST INTELL MENGE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, May 4. The names of the members of the new Council of State have just been published. The Council comprises 45 Turks, 9 Armenians, 7 Greeks, and 3 Jews. The list of members of the Supreme Court of Justice has also been published, and consists of 8 Turks, 3 Armenians, and 2 Greeks. SPAIN. MADRID, May 4 (Evening). In to-day's sitting of the Congress the Minister of Finance presented a bill proposing to give pecu niary assistance to the railway companies. He also read the draft of another bill, ordering that all the debts of the State that should not be converted within a given time should be declared lapsed. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.: PARIS, MONDAY, May 4. It is now understood that a reconciliation has been brought about between M. Rouher and Marshal Niel, and that the Minister of State, though all for peace, has promised to support the excessive armaments of his colleague, who is all for war. En revanche, it is believed that M. Rouher has stipulated for a pacific speech from the Emperor at Orleans. But to what good are these speeches? What France wants is,facta, non verba, and no amount of talk will restore confidence so long as the country is armed to the teeth. If M. Rouher has been induced to give way, M. Magna is probably harder to deal with. A Minister of Finance is, of course, always jealous of extra vagant expenditure, and the present Minister is, perhaps, peculiarly so. On Saturday, he, Marshal Niel, and Admiral Genouilly (Minister of Marine) had a very long conference with the Budget Commission, which lasted till seven p.m. The commissioners used some tolerably sharp language, but of eourse they will have to give way if Emperor and Ministers are resolved upon it. The Arenir National declares that it is able to confirm the rumour of an intervention in the affairs of Crete. It had been stated that Austria and England had decided to join with France in pressing Greece to refrain from giving further assistance to the Cretans. The Avenir .National cannot speak for England, but says the report is true as regards the other Powers, and adds : " Neither France nor Austria is at the end of its blunders in the East." To-day the Emperor reviewed a large number of troops in the Longchamps. There here 2,000 cavalry and 1,600 artillery. The spectacle was a very fine one, and the weather was magnificent. It was the first time that the 3rd nussars and the 11th Chasseurs had been reviewed by the Emperor. , - Three of the elections have come off, and two of them have given a large majority for the official candidates ; in the third the official candidate is at the head of the poll, but as he has not obtained a majority of more than half of the total number of voters, there will be a fresh election, at which the lowest of the three candidates will have to give up. It remains to be seen if those who voted for him will now vote for the official candidate or for the Opposition candidate who stood highest. Should the latter receive these votes he will be elected ; but it is expected that a large number of them will be recorded for the Imperial nominee. The semi-official papers sing a paean in honour of their victory, but the Opposition journals point out that their party has largely increased since the last elections. Prince Metternich, the Austrian Ambassador here, has been summoned to Vienna by telegraph, and this matter has given rise to some speculation. I believe, however, that it has nothing to do with politics. The Prince is gone to his brother's wedding. A most curious disturbance has just taken place in the arrondissement of Jonzac. A gentleman had made a present of stained glass windows to the Church of Chevanceaux. On one of them was painted St. Joseph, with a fleur de lys and a hatchet in one hand, and in the other lions and ears of wheat. The people saw a political meaning in this representation. The //curs de lys stood for Henry V., and therefore the donor had intended to signify the return of the Bourbons. The hatchet was significant of the punishment in store for the Bonapartists ; the lions were intended to devour them ; the cars of wheat meant the restoration of the tithe. The consequence was that for seven or eight days a crowd, ever becoming larger and more excited, stood round the church, throwing stones in their anger. The emotion spread to other places, and at last the Prefect was compelled to order that the windows should be smeared over, and the Acura de lys effaced. Our Exhibition, answering to your Royal Academy, opened on Friday. There was an enormous crowd. The number of works exhibited, including engravi ngs sculpture, &c., is 4,215, of which 2,587 are pictares. An attempt is being made to get up a central agricul• tura' society. It is thought that agriculture wants are presentative body, and M. Leconteaux, editor of the Journal de l'Agriculture Pratique, has started a subscrip Lion for carrying out this object. He has already nearly 1,000 subscribers, each of whom pays £4 entrance fee. I suppose the Government will permit the subscribers tc meet. The real reception of Jules Favre took place yesterday. Nothing remarkable passed. The Emperor praised the late M. Cousin, andFavre replied in the same strain. Th e first then said a few words to M. Sacy, and the party re tired in a few minutes. Vaulting ambition has o'erleaped itself. The ladies trains had been growing for some time, until they had become a perfect nuisance, and were the cause of awk ward accidents. At last, the Countess Pourtales, one of the queens of fashion, came to the rescue, and issued a royal decree that all persons attending the ball which she gave last week were to leave their trains at home, and to let their partners see their feet. The effect has been most beneficial ; but, nevertheless, great was the outcry on the part of those who had to make the sacrifice, especially those who had large feet. There is much agitation in the German Parliament The proposal of the Hessians to introduce a politica. matter under the form of an address to the King of Prussia in favour of German unity, is strenuously resisted by the Witrtembergers, and unless it is opposed decisively by Bismarck himself these threaten to withdraw from the Parliament altogether. There is little doubt that the Prussian Minister will induce the Hessians to desist. It is not his wish to give France any cause of offence just ROME. RomE, May 4.

Roman 43 The Ritual Commissioners have issued their re port on the subject of incense and altar lights. Having in a previous report condemned any departure from the style of vesture in use in the Church since the Reforma tion, they now think that the use of incense and of lighted candles on the "altar in the Commuaion service should be restrained, as it is clearly at variance, they say, with the Church's usage for 300 years. The "speedy and in expensive remedy " which the Commissioners suggest should be provided for parishione rs aggrieved by the in troduction of incense and candles is as follows :—" First, that whensoever it shall be found necessary, that order be taken concerning the same, the usage of the Church of England and Ireland as above stated to have prevailed for the last 300 years, shall be deemed to be the rule of the Church in respect of vestments, lights, and incense ; aud, secondly, that parishioners may make formal appli cation to the bishop in camera, and the bishop, on such application, shall be bound to inquire; into the matter of the complaint ; and if it shall thereby appear that there has been a variation from established usago by the introduction of vestments, lights, or incense in the public services of the Church, he shall take order forthwith' for the discontinuance of such variation, and be enabled to enforce the same summarily." The Commissioners also think that the determination of the bishop on such application "should be subject to ap peal to the archbishop of the province in camera, whose decision thereon shall be final; provided always, that if it should appear to either party that the decision of the bishop or archbishop is open to question on any legal ground a case may be stated by the party dissatisfied, to be certified by the bishop or archbishop as correct, and then submitted by the said party for the decision of the Court of the archbishop without pleading or evidence, with a right of appeal to the Privy Council, and with power for the Court, if the statement of the case should appear to be in any way defective, to refer back such case to the bishop or archbishop for amendment." Precautions are suggested to prevent " frivolous applications " from being brought before the bishop. The Commissioners intimate that their intention in making these recommenda tions is simply to provide a special facility for restraining variations from established usage, without interfering with the general law of the church as to ornaments or the ordinary remedies now in force. The recommendations of the Commissioners with respect to the rubrics, orders, and directions contained in the Prayer Book will form the subject of the next report. The Pope has sent to the Princess Margaret, wife of the Crown Prince of Italy, a magnificent gold panel, on which a Madonna by Raphael is framed. The newspapers are teeming with references to econo my in tea by co-operation. Hornistan and Co. have for 30 years co- operated through Agents to supply tea on more advantageous terms than by the ordinary channel; their tea reaches the consumer in the same pure elate as it leaves the grower, as it is secured in packets. A serious disagreement has occurred between Prussia and Hesse Darmstadt respecting the right to gdrrison the Rhino fortress of Mainz, or Mayence, as it is more generally called. By the treaty of April 11, 1867, it was agreed that all the Hessian troops should enter the Prussian army as an entire division, and be placed under the command of the King of Prussia. But Hesse Darmstadt is situated partly to the north and partly to the south of the Mein, and the Grand Duke contends that the troops raised upon the latter portion, including Mainz, are independent of Prussia, since the line of the Mein once passed, the Treaty of Prague will be violated. Prussia, however, will not hear of this, for to the possession of Mainz she attaches the greatest im portance. Prussia has endeavoured to overcome the diffi culty by a slight concession, but the Hessian Minister of War, rather than accept it, has resigned. The Budget of the Russian Minister of War presents a considerable increase as compare with last year's. The total amount is over 15/ millions sterling—an increase of about £1,326,000 over 1867. This augmentation has been caused almost entirely by the greater cost of food. It is reported that Omar Pasha will be appointed to the command of the Turkish army on the Danube, which is now to be placed on a war footing, in view of the even tualities which the Porte fears will occur among the Servians. Despite the pacific declarations fro m Belgrade, Servia appears to be steadily carrying out its design of uniting all the Slave population so as to bring about a general movement in European Turkey. It is believed that General Klapka, the well-known Hungarian revolutionist, will be made Minister of War fur Hungary. Should this expectation prove correct, it will shew how complete is the reconciliation between Francis Joseph and his Magyar subjects, bow useless and unpatriotic is the protest of Kossuth against the nem set tlement. Count Crivelli, the Austrian Ambassador at Rome, has just died suddenly of apoplexy. His death occurs at a critical moment, and just when the relations between the two countries are very " strained." There is little dolibt that he will be succeeded by Baron Afeysenburg, who is in high favour at the Vatican, and will, if anyone can, induce the Pope to accept the n.o lification of the Concordat. According to the Liberte, the Dutch are getting very dissatisfied with their political condition. They see their country falling into the same condition as Spain, Greece, and Roumania—subject to perpetual changes of govern ment; and they are losing faith both in the constitution and the dynasty. The seat now vacant in East Worcestershire, through the accession of the Hon. F. H. Calthorpo to the peerege, is not likely to be contested in the prospect of a rapidly approaching dissolution. From 1832, when the present Secretary of State for War was an unsuccessful candidate, to 1837, the division returned two Liberals. During the next ten years the representation was exclusively Conservative, and from 1847 to 1859 a member of each party was returned. In that year the Liberals again sent in both their men ; Mr. Pakington, son of the Secretary of War, having been defeated by a majority of nearly 400. Since that year the Conservatives have made no sign, but it is quite understood that they will contest one of the seats under the new Reform Act. It is pro bable that the Hon. G. C. Lyttelton, eldest son of Lord Lyttelton, will now enjoy a walk over. In Exeter, where under the old system there have been many severe contests since 1832, politicians are prepar ing for the coming contest. Fortune, as in many other places, has varied with both parties in the ancient city. At one election only has it returned two Liberals, and that was amid the flush of triumph which immediately suc ceeded the passing of the first Reform Bill. From 1835 to 1864 it was jointly represented ; then for the first time for more than thirty years two Conservatives sat for Exeter. In 1865, however, each party returned its candidate unop posed. For some time past it has been understood that the Liberals would bring out a second competitor, and Mr. J. C. Bowring has announced that he is ready to come forward, but not in any way to endanger the scat of Mr. Coleridge. Lord Courtenay, the present Conservative member, will of course offer himself for re-election, and a seopd MiAisteriql candidate 4 4139 spokep, of. now. CORRESPONDENCE FROM ABYSSINIA. The latest correspondence from Abyssinia is contained in the Daily News. The date is Talanta Plateau, April 9, the day before the battle in which the Theodore was de feated. The writer says :—" During the last two days the staff have been engaged in a reconnaissance of Theodore's position, of which a tolerable view may be obtained from the point *here the King's road leaves the crest of the Talanta plateau to descend towards the Bashilo River. Standing hero the beholder's mind and eye are at first bewildered by the maze of mountains, plateaux, and ravines, which fof some time appear to be inextricably entangled upon the opposite side of the stream. The chaos may be, however, partially resolved by. patient peering through a telescope. Only small portions of the muddy Bashilo can be seen ',clew, but three very distinctly marked watercourses run into it from the south, and afford a clue to the topography of the district on its left bank. The centre of the three ascends in a tolerably straight line until its termination becomes a ravine in the breast of a mountain, the crest of wl•ich is nine-and-a-half miles distant. This mountain appears to be theee-cornered. The eastern ex tremity is the highest, and, from the position at which I have supposed the spectator to stand, bears south by about 30 degrees eact ; to it we have given the name of Salasee (the Trinity), one properly bel,Mging to a small church perched upon it. The southern end, of which only a little can be seen from the King's road, is Magdala; the western one is as yet without A designation. Theodore's road follows this same centre ravine for about three miles, and then climt s a spur tending westwards, or to the right ; the top of the spur is fiat, and forms the Faali plateau. After traversing this plateau, and going for a short distance directly south or straight up the slope, the road turns east, and passes out of sight over the ridge connecting the Salasee and thewestern extremities of the mountain, seeming to make for Magdala. A sing of precit ices, in which there is apparent only a single break, encircles the Salasee summit, which is capped with a flat rock about 400 yards in diameter. Theodore does not appear to have himself made use of the rock, which is supposed to command and to be welt within artillery range of Magdala ; but to prevent our occupying it he has pitched his camp within the circle of cliffs which, 200 or 300 feet below and 500 yards distant, form a border round Salasee. With a good glass the white and the brown ridged tents of his men Can be seen by hundreds on Salasee ; the majority of an Abyssinian army are generally accommodated in small grass huts, but the distance is too great to distinguish these. The watercourses to the right and left of the middle one are said to curve back, particularly the right or western one, and turn in rear of the Salasee-Magdala mountain ; they include a Whole series of flat-topped hills. To view Magdala itself well it is necessary to seek a more westerly position on the Talanta plateau, from which a fair view can be got of the north-west of the Amba. Very near the top it is encircled with a continuous line of fresh precipices. A second row can be seen beneath, but it is does not apparently go quite round; on the top of the hill and on lower terraces are large, well built houses with thatched conical roofs. There are also trees, and altogether Magdala is, next to Chelicut, the most comfortable-looking village we have seen. On the top of the upper precipice is a black line, which looks like an earthen parapet. No other trace of artificial fortifica tions, and no guns have as yet been made out there or at the camp." The Belfast papers mention that the Rev. Dr. M'Cosh, one of the Queen's College professors, has, without any application on his part, been unanimously. elected President of Princeton University, United States, and has just received a telegram announcing the fact. In consequence of no application for a commuta tion of sentence having been made by Messrs. Sullivan and Pigott, the press prisoners, nor any promise given that they will respect the law in future, the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland has announced that he is unable to comply with the memorial from the Corporation of Dublin soliciting their release. The correspondent of a New Yolk paper says that Ju: r .z, the President of Mexico, celebrated his birth day on the 24th of March, at Chapultepec, a suburb of the city of Mexico, under the shadow of a grove of cypress trees, the favourite sleeping-place of Montezuma. One of these cypresses was an old tree in Montezuma's g ime. Chapultepec was a favourite spot also of the Emperor Maximilian. MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN DEVON HIRE.—On Monday morning a farmer, named John Strickland, living near Hayle, killed his child, a little girl three years old, by cutting her throat. He afterwards attempted suicide, and made a dangerous wound in his own throat. It appears that the wife of the unfortunate man is now lying dead, and her property reverts to her children by a former marriage, This, it is supposed, preyed upon his mind and led to the murder and attempted self-destruction.— - Western Morning Neto% THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE DUKB OF EDINBURGH. — On Sunday a pastoral from Cardinal Cullen was read in all the Roman Catholic churches in Dublin, in which reference was made to the late attack on the Duke of Edinburgh. His Eminence denounced the act in the strongest terms, pointing out the peculiar atrocity of it as directed against a popular and unoffending young prince. He emphatically condemned all secret societies, and warned his flock to abstain from joining them on pain of incurring the censure of the Church of Rome. TRADES UNIONIST IN TIMIDATION. —A day Or two ago, at the Bolton Police•court, James Bleakley was charged with endeavouring by threats and intimidation to compel Patrick Owen to leave the employment of Messrs. Thomasson and Sons, cotton-spinners. It appears that there is a dispute in the trade in the locality, and it was an object with certain parties to keep men from working for Messrs. Thomasson. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had threatened that he should be killed and have his back broken if he did not leave off working for the firm. The prisoner was sentenced to a month's hard labour. THE ROYAL VISIT TO LEEDS.—In connection with the inaguration of the Grand National Art Trea sures Exhibition at Leeds by the Prince of- Wales there are to be public and private entertainments and festivities. The ceremonial will probably be arranged for Tuesday, the 10th instant, and on the evening of that day the Prince and Princess will attend a grand ball to be given by the mayor (Mr. Andrew Fairbairn). Their Royal Highnesses will accept the hospitalities of Templenewsam, the seat of Mr. H. C. M. Ingram, which is situate a few miles east from Leeds, and is surrounded by an extensive park and pleasure grounds, finely shaded with patriarchal woods. The noble families of Lennox, Irwine, and Hert ford have resided at Templenewsm. It contains a small but very choice gallery of paintings. THEODORE AND THE FRENCH GUNMAKER.—TIIO Memorial de ice Loire gives some particulars respecting a French gunmaker, named Bourgaud, who was for some time in the service of King Theodore, but whose fate seems at present uncertain. He formerly carried on business at St. Etienne, and ten years since conceived the idea that he might open a profitable-trade in Abyssinia. Proceeding thither he was warm'y received by the King, and treated with distinction, and is even said to have been made a prince. But when M. Bourgaud desired 0 leave, he discovered that to get into Abyssinia was easier than to get out of it. The Negus found him too useful,•from his special know ledge of arms, to part with, and he was retained in a sort of honourable imprisonment. Three years elapsed, and his wife, despairing of his return, decided on going with their children to Magdala with a view of bringing him back to France. They also were well received, but were likewise prevented from returning to Europe. What has become of M. Bourgaud and his family is not yet known. CONFLICT WITH A BURGLAR. —A desperate en counter with a burglar is reported from Sedbergh, on the borders of Westmoreland and Yorkshire. It appears that a }light or two since a man named James Bracken, residing at Pedgecroft, near Sedbergh, whilst asleep in bed with his wife, was aroused by the latt'r, who said there was a light in the house, and she thought somebody was in it. He immediately got up, and, without dress ing, ran down stairs, when he beard some person go out by one of the back windows, and, running to the door, saw a man leave the yard and hurry towards an adjo!ning field. Bracken followed in pursuit, overtaking and collaring the fugitive, whom he endeavoured to arrest. A struggle ensued. The burglar drew a large knife, and made a furious but happily fruitless attack ul on Lis captor, endeavouring to stab him ; but Bracken seized the fellow's hand, and at the same time tripping up his heels, threw him to the ground. The villain, however, succeeded in getting up, when he again made at P•racken ; but he failed in his murderous attempt, was again knocked down, and losing the knife in the struggle that ensued upon the ground, was overpowered. He was then secured, and after considerable difficulty was dragged to the police station, distant nearly a mile and a half. All this time Bracken was undressed, nearly naL e 1 in fact, for his shirt, the only garment upon him, was torn into shreds ; but, for- tunately, he was uninjured. The prisoner is a negro; and powerfully math , . He was subsequently taken before the Rev. G. Platt and Mr. Thomas Wearing, and committed for trial at the next Leeds Assizes. The magistrates warmly commended the - courage and determination displayed by Bracken. Z. 6. ,..teAt.:y d -7 1 1 • 1.12 . 4s Z-- 44 : eirilllat HER MAJESTY. OSBORNE, May 4.

Spain has just lost her greatest man -- I , abel her noblest, truest subject. A brave soldier, the.very soul of honour. Rainoni Maria Narvaez, the son of au ancient house, has been snatched aw'Y too soon from the affection of his friends, and , I will dare to say it, the grateful lover of his Quee n —he .whom to many battles left unscathed —ha s fallen a victim to a sudden illness—au attack 0 0 chi lungs. Narvaez was the second son of Dr. Jose Narvaez, of Loxa, near to Grenada. His family are of the oldest nobility, as those conversant with the his tory of Andalucia well know. His mother, Donna Ramona Campos, was from the same town, and equally noble. The hero of our present notice was born at Loxa, about the beginning of this cen tury, so he was too young to have shared in the great war of the Independence, which ended by the expulsion of the French, and the return of Ferdi nand I. in 1813. He, however, entered the Roya l Guard when very young, and served with honour his Ting, showing great bravery, as well as much firmness of character, 00 certain trying occasions. Even when very young he showed 'signs of his love for a Constitutiona l form of Goyernment when absolutism was rife in Spain, and his after life never belied these firs t instincts. lie was always a loyal and faithful ser vant of the Queen, and from the beginning of the Carlist war he bravely defended the Infant Queen. Although something of a Martinet in service he was liked by the soldiers and officers under him. He was unflinching where duty was concerned. His tory will recouut his glorious pursuit of the Carlist General Gomez from one extremity of the Peninsula to the other in 1836. Although as yet he meddled little in politics he was always considered the hea d of the party called Moderados, against the very demoralising Liberals, with their chieftains EsPar tero, Mendizabel Olzago, and others. His first act on getting into political power on his return from France in 1843, after the downfall of the Regen t and his clique, was to do his best to reorganise the religious questions, by promoting a just arrangemen t the terrible violation of all right and justice which had been practised wholesale against the Church and the properties of the religious orders. No one can ever accuse Narvaez of being either a Zelot or a Puritan ; but he knew his fellow-country people , andthis knowledge convinced him Spain could never be aught but Catholic, so he placed these questions as far as possible on a proper footing ; and when in 1846 the present Pontiff was elected a renewal Of diplomatic relations between Rome and Mad rith followed. Pius the Ninth recognised the foot-lights of Isabel the 11. to her father's kingdom, whi ch her brave soldiers had d e f en d e d i n h er name ag ains" ... the usurping claims of her uncle, Don Carlos, during the sad years of civil war, caused by the preten sions of the latter. Not even his greatest enemies can accuse arvaez of any of those acts of cruelty which unfortunately stained the good name of som e of the Carlist and even the Christian generals; will not specify any one nor a n y p ar ti cu l ar thing to avarice, paining the feelings of some yet living; Fortunately. for Spain Narvaez succeeded in 1 841 ' in establishing order both in Church and State, and the battle at Arday, near the gates of Madrid , confirmed him in his power; he then applied hill y self and his great talents to reorganising every branch of the administration ; he happily succeed ed therein, and never can it be said of him, not ell in the most astonishing heights of his power., that he ever forgot the duty and obedience he o ared the Queen ; never did he dare to place a foot on th° throne ; neither by a silly act of uncourteousncss breaking through ancient palace etiqette drive his carriage through the palace square, as did Espartero when Regent; neither did beever allow tibuself to threaten his Sovereign, as did O'Donnel l : No, Narvaez was the Bayard of Spain in the 19th century. His energy was seen during the sal days if 1848, when all Europe was in confusion; and whe n revolution stalked abroad, he boldly decided ° a obliging the English Minister, then at Madrid' s Sir Lytton Bulwer—to take his passports and P as the frontiers in 24 hours, thereby securing public tranquillity, and the English Government ere obliged to silently accept his decision. But af ter an interval of about two years Lord Howcle ll came to Madrid, where, by his tact a nd judgment, he soothed all difficulties.
