LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1868. d The closing weeks of the Session are generally unsatisfactory, but this year they are particularly so, on account of the very short time that has been given to the discussion of any question. The con sequence is that, after having spent many days in considering some measure of importance, it has often to be withdrawn after all, which is a most vexatious conclusion to the time and trouble ex pended upon it. Not only is it annoying to those whose labour is lost, but it has a bad appearance to the country, and people are apt to say that the House of Commons does nothing else but talk, and very little results ensues from its deliberations. Yesterday Mr. WYND HAM'S bill on the Mines had to be withdrawn, after having occupied the time of the House on several occasions. It was believed by many last week this bill would escape the sweeping condemnation that has overwhelmed so many measures of more or less importance, but it has not proved so. Mr. AYRTON, it will be remembered, had introduced a clause in this bill which professed to abolish all the exemp tions that existed, but yesterday it was declared by Sir R. COLLIER and the Solicitor-General that the plan in question would not answer. fn com pliance with the advice he received from many quarters, Mr. WYNDHAM withdrew the bill, and he acted wisely in so doing, because he could not pos sibly have come to a successful conclusion after so much controversy had been excited. Still there can be no reason why something should not be done in the direction indicated by this bill next year, for we can see no cause why mines should not be taxed as well as other property. The Public Schools Bill has been read a third time and passed, which is a good thing in its way. A considerable time was spent in the discussion of the Sale of Poisons and Pharmacy Aat Amendment Bill. A great many amendments were made in it especially concerning the com mon poisons used for domestic purposes. This is a useful provision, and althought it may be incon venient in its working, it must conduce to the safety of the public. It would be well if some other pro vision had been made to enforce those selling or buying poisons, to keep all poisons in bottles of a different description to those in ordinary use ; but a good many difficulties seem in the way of that. To-night the Metropolitan Fo reign Cattle Bill will be taken again, and it seems that the opposition to this measure is likely to be very virulent. The prejudice that exists is quite absurd, and there is no reason why a fair trial should not be given to the proposition now before the House. As for raising up free trade in the discussion it is quite beside the mark, and nothing is so mistaken as to confuse things LLM BOAT SERVICES.—During the Storms of the past year the National Lifeboat Institution eon,- ribnted to the saving of 1,086 lives from various ship wrecks and 36 vessels from destruction. The Institution also expended £31,845 in the same period on its Lifeboat Establishments, in addition to granting £3,189 for rewards. The Committee of the Institution earnestly appeal to the public for assistance to enable them to meet the continued heavy demands on their 187 Lifeboat Establishments.

Yesterday a scene of a very unusual and interest ing description took place in the Guildhall. A deputation from the manufacturing districts of three counties, Lancashire, Cheshire, and Derbyshire, at tended a special meeting of the Common Council for the purpose of presenting to the Corporation of the City the memorial window, which the cotton operatives have spontaneously subscribed to offer as a token of their gratitude for the assistance given them at the time of the cotton famine. The City of London, it will be remembered, took a very prominent part in the relief afforded to the sufferers from the terrible and protracted distress which so long desolated the north-west counties. The Lord Mayor's Fund was of immense service ; and though it was thought better to keep the two lists distinct, there was the most cordial co-operation between its almoners and those of the Manchester Commit tee. As a proof of the good feeling which subsisted between these rivals in this worthy cause, many gentlemen who took a prominent part in the Man chester committee were present yesterday among the delegates, and Colonel WILSON PATTEN, M.P., was the leader and spokesman on the occasion. It was originally intended, we believe, that the Earl of DERBY should be the spokesman, but as the noble lord's health was scarcely equal to the exertion the office was delegated to Colonel WILSON-PATTEN, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. Colonel WILSON-PATTEN was familiar with every phase of the distress, having been treasurer of the Man chester committee, and the brief account which he gave in his speech of yesterday brought vividly before his hearers the anxiety and the sufferings of that terrible time. Great as was the calamity it was nobly met. The operatives, under a most severe and prolonged trial, maintained unshaken fortitude and respect for the law, while the liberality with which subscriptions poured in from all places was perhaps unparalleled, not only from every part of the United Kingdom, but from America itself, then distracted by civil war, from Australia, from the islands of the souther❑ seas, from every habitable quarter of the globe came in the welcome aid. Colonel WIL soN-PATrEN observed yesterday that it often out stripped his geographical knowledge, and he remem bers distinctly receiving a cheque for £2,000 from a district with whose exact locality neither he nor any one near him was acjuainted, and it was some time before he could find out in what quarter of the world it was The sum total of the public subscriptions amounted to nearly two millions sterling, of which half a million came from the Mansion-house Fund. Besides this large sum, clothing and relief in kind were given to the value of more than £lOO,OOO, and in one week above thirteen hundred bales of well mended clothing were distributed. But, great as these efforts were, they were none too great for the emergency, and with so much to encourage them the managers of the funds and the local admini strators of relief more than once got disheartened. Half a million of persons depending for very life on external aid is no light thing, and we may well be thankful that the struggle ended when it did. Brighter days have dawned upon the cotton dis tricts, and the best proof that the operatives have in no degree lost their characteristic self-respect and independence, as some feared they might do, is to be found in this spontaneous expression of their gratitude towards those who came forward to assist them. The beautiful window which was yesterday unveiled amid the cheers of the eager spectators will remain, we hope, through many generations a memorial of a time to which, in spite of its severe and prolonged sufferings, Englishmen may well look back with feelings of pride and thanksgiving. Any obser'ations that are made by the Emperor NAPOLEON are always well deserving of notice, alike for the ability that characterises them, and from the influence of his position. The other day some conversation was held on the FELIX PYAT manifestoes, and it was said that those excitatives might endanger his Majesty's life. The EMPEROR, however, disclaimed all participation in the anxiety, and gave fit reasons that life had but one alterna tive in his present position, which was that of " being useful to the grandeur and prosperity of France." There is a great deal of truth in the re mark of his Majesty that the only safe way for France lies in the support of himself and dynasty, which is to be regarded as the symbol of order and progress. He considers that if he were struck down that event of itself might actually contribute more than any other to the consolidation of the dynasty. " A political assimilation always pro duces an effect the very opposite of what was in tended." In Servia the conspirators have failed completely in their object, and in France itself the Emperor NAPOLEON believes that had Louis PHILIPPE fallen a victim to one of the numerous attempts on his life, the House of Orleans would now rule over the country. "If I fall to-morrow," added the EMPEROR, " the people would rally round my son ;" and if the whole Imperial family were to disappear, some distant relative would be found out to uphold the Empire, and to afford another instance that the "party which imbrues its hands in blood" never profits by the crime. One thing is certain, that the EMPEROR has great faith in his mission to France, and that enables him to go on with a serenity that few could feel under the peculiar circumstances in which he is placed. It would be possible, no doubt, to im prove in many important particulars the present conduct of affairs in France, but the general plan is unquestionably good, and it has been tested by many years of trial at a critical time in the world's history. Political troubles are not over in Victoria, not withstanding the accomplishment of the long looked-for change of Government. the M'CUL LOCH Ministry has become a thing of the past, and a new Administration has been formed, with Mr. STADEN, of the Council, as Chief Secretary; Mr. FELLOWES, as Minister of Justice, and six other gentlemen, all new to office. Three of the new Ministers have been returned without opposition, but the re-election of the others is likely to be se verely contested. The Opposition, moreover, openly declare that they intend to refuse the supplies, while the Ministers say they will not yield office till the supplies are obtained. Matters are not therefore likely to go on very smoothly, while the unhappy Governor will find himself in a worse strait than ever. This is a mortifying state of things, and the attempts of the Colonial-office to set matters straight have as yet signally failed. If all parties would bring a little common sense to bear upon the disputed questions there might be some chance of a reconciliation between the Houses, but as it is both parties feel their personal pride affronted, and consider it a point of honour not to yield an inch. It is like the ostentation of nouveaux riches. Our English Parliament, a few centuries older and wiser, knows that it is some times more dignified to make concessions than to remain obstinately immovable. The best news from Melbourne is that the first paper mill and the first woollen manufactory have been opened in Victoria. The woollen manufacture will, no doubt, prove hereafter of more value than the gold diggings. .Ca2RESPONDENCE FROM PARS, ;nom on OWN CORRESPONDENT.) . PARIS, WEDNESDAY, July 15 There is every reason to believe that public opinion in Prussia is very unsettled just now, and that there is a want of unanimity in the Cabinet of Berlin. Whether Prussian statesmen are convinced that a war with France is inevitable, and yet dread it, I shall not pretend to determine. There is no doubt that a war party and a peace party exist in the Prussian Ministry ; and uncertainty as to the intentions of France may increase the discord. But so long as the Government is virtually centered in one man, the policy of Prussia will be one of statesmanlike decision. The outward and visible signs are, however, very perplexing. The Prussians are ever torturing the French with overtures of conciliation and forbearance, followed by the most contemptuous in difference and brusque affronts to Gallic vanity. It was recently announced that the Prussian Government had forbidden throughout North Germany the celebration of the anniversary of Sadowa. The French papers were delighted. Shortly afterwards the official Berlin Corre spondence came out with the following : " Eight days ago the whole of Prussia gave a great example of moderation. The 3rd July, the anniversary of the most decisive battle of the age, passed almost un perceived. Unexampled modesty! No rejoicings, official nor public, signalised that great day The Prussian people, with its usual intelligence, and also with a delicacy which its very enemies must acknow ledge, understood that, in the present situation of Europe, it might, by giving too much splendour to the celebration of the anniversary of recent triumphs, give umbrage to neighbouring countries with which its most sincere desire is to live at peace." The effect upon the Paris journals was magical. Unable to find ordinary vent for its wrath, the Patric described the Berlin paper, which is written in French, as " bent -in flaying the French language, as it cannot flay those that speak it." It is hardly necessary to say that the French papers are, most of them, very considerably flayed by this sort of treatment. The only conclusion to be drawn is that the Prussians either do not know their own minds or are playing the dangerous game of amusing themselves at the expense of the French. As the latter supposition is not very probable, I can only conclude that Impe rial policy is an enigma as insoluble in Prussia as else where. Prince Napoleon has changed his route. A brilliant reception was prepared forhim at Athens, but on Monday he turned his course towards the Adriatic, and will not visit Greece. The motive for this alteration, which will doubtless give offence at Athens, is not stated. After his last reception he is not very likely to pay another visit to Italy. A run through Spain would afford him an ex cellent opportunity of expressing his sympathy with oppressed peoples; but then he cann )t indulge in an Orleanist demonstration. He will, therefore, return to France. The denial given by the Belgian Government to th• report of a projected Customs Union between France, Belgium, and Holland has not prevented the Patrie from enlarging on the benefits of such an alliance. The Patrie has discovered that the report caused through out Belgium " an indescribable emotion," and " a natural and joyous impatience." The French paper is kind enough to add that the " independence and prosperity of their country can only be guaranteed by such a combination." The arguments used by the Patric in favour of the union are certainly not happy. Belgium, it says, is overwhelmed with taxes. Let her unite herself to France, and the public charges will undergo a progressive decrease. The facts are very simple. In Belgium the average taxes per head to the State only amount to about 221 f. In France the average is above 40f. To bring forward a financial argument like this during the present debate on the Budget is a display of journalistic impudence not very common even in America. M. Van Ryck, the writer in the Patrie, further fears that military expenses in Belgium are heavy. Belgium actually spends less upon her army than Bavaria. Her military charges amount to 23 per cent. on her whole revenue. In France they amounted to 28 per cent. before Sadowa, and since then they have largely increased. The Patrie further urges that strikes and popular agitations, now common in Belgium, are unknown in France. This, the strongest argument brought forward, does, I admit, wear a truthful appearance. The despotism which prevents every mani festation of freedom also prevents riots, and this merit must be cheerfully conceded. But when a riot does occur, the example of 1848 and numerous others prove that it often assumes proportions very rare elsewhere. Briefly, the independence of Belgium is a good thing for Eirrop,e ; her union t F.anc ; would be an unmit'g.ited calamity. The departure of a French expedition to the North Pole may now be deemed a certainty. The subscriptions were meagre at first, but by an active organisation the whole sum will soon be raised. There will thus be three expedi tions—from France, Germany, and Italy. Th ; thirst for Arctic exploration, which cost England so much, has apparently passed over to the Continent. There is still much to discover within the Arctic Circle, but very little 'profit to be got there. The Empress and her son will remain at Fontaine. bleau while the Emperor goes to PlombiZzes. There i 3 no prospect of his visiting any part of Germany. THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY. LATEST INTELL IGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) KING THEODORE'S SON. PLYMOUTH, Thursday Morning.

In the vestibule of a house in the Via Stabiana, two frescoes have been discovered, pro bably representing the portraits of the master and mistress. These two figures are on the same wall, close to each other ; the man wears the toga pecu liar to the magistracy ; the woman is seated as if she were meditating before writing ; in her right hand she holds the stylas, which she is in the act of wetting on the tip of her tongue ; in the left she has the wax tablets on which she intends writing. Both these figures are well-designed and in excel lent preservation. They have been removed to the Museum of Naples. FAMINE IN MOROCCO.—The Constitutionnel con tains a distressing account of the famine in Morocco, which is spreading the most disastrous effects amongst the Mussulman populations. The harvest has been a total failure, and for such grain as can be imported enormous prices are demanded. The situation is described as worse than that of Algeria. Numbers:of persons are constantly dying of hunger. The roads are covered every morning with the:dying and the dead. The rich are power less to save these poor creatures ; and the number of those who have perished, either of hunger or the epidemic, is estimated at one-fourth of the entire population. "It is not, as will be seen," says the Constitutionnel, " Algeria alone which has just passed through a deplorable crisis. In Tunis, as in Morocco, the population, ravaged with cholera, ruined by invasions of locusts such as were never before seen in the memory of man, and suffering two years of drought, have, in the summer of 1868, becn plunged into the deepest suffering. Fortunately, in Algeria, a good harvest has repaired, so far as it was possible, the losses experienced by those tribes, and the wants of the coming winter may be met by the provisions made for giving employment, by the exercise of charity, and various kinds of assistance judiciously ren dered."

Barometrical readings are very uniform in amount : they are slightly lower in the north, and higher in France than they wero yesterday morning ; but since last night pressure has been increasing at almost all of our stations, especially in the north. Temperature has increased considerably in the east, and diminished again in the west. The winds during the past twenty-four hours have been light and variable, and continue so this morning. At western stations they have veered, and are northerly in Ireland. Some rain has fallen at the northern and western stations, and it is raining heavily at Aberdeen this morning. Thunder has occurred at Paris and London. The formation of a new Ministry is the only news of importance from Australia. After eight weeks of nego tiation, success crowned the efforts of the Governor. His difficulties were not all overcome, for a determined oppo sition to four members of the Cabinet was to be made at the Ministerial elections. The Age thought it probable that these four would be rejected, but the Argus was of opinion that the whole Cabinet would be re-elected. The new Ministers were divided on the question of the Darling grant, but their unanimity now matters little. Sir Charles Darling has refused to accept the grant, either in his own name or that of Lady Darling. The Times' correspondent says the Opposition make no secret of their intention to refuse supplies to the new Government, so that a speedy termination of the dead-lock does not seem probable. Prince Alexander Karageorgeviteh has, of course, not responded to the citation of the Belgrade tribunal, com manding him to appear before it without delay. It is now stated that the Hungarian Government will not give him up to the Servian authorities. A telegram says that the Servians arrested at Pesth will be tried there. This utterly incomprehensible message does not state what will be done with Prince Alexander. To try Servian subjects at Pesth for a crime committed at Belgrade would be certain to cause some difficulty ; but to try the subordinates and allow Prince Alexander to escape without even an inquiry would be an outrage to the Servian nation such as the Austrian Government can hardly be guilty of. The insurrection in Crete has relapsed into its normal condition. The policy of both Cretans and Musaulmans is such that the " war " may last for any length of time, and apparently without causing great inconvenience to the contending parties. The insurgents, it seems, fight when necessary ; but they prefer s'mply to hold out. As they obtain their provisions and other supplies pretty regularly, they are enabled to sus tain this species of resistance. Tho Pose's correspondent says the blockade is very badly kept up ; and is, indeed, a great expense to no purpose. One Greek runner made three trips in ono week, on the first occasion taking 200 men, then 150, and lastly 60 or 70, bringing away a like number of women and sick. The Turkish fast vessels ate used as transports, and the blockaders are ironolads, which 01j1 aksl tl9 n9thipm THE REFORM' LEAGUE. On Wednesday evening a meeting of the Reform League was held at the offices of the association, under the presi dency of Mr. Edmond Beales. The chairman, in opening the proceedings, said that it had been intended to discuss the subject of the ballot, but, owing to unforeseen cir cumstances, the discussion of that question was post poned. The chairman then said he wished to bring before the members of the League certain instructions re garding the subject of the lodger franchise. By the new Reform Act, he said, every man of full age, and not sub ject to any legal incapacity, who for twelve months pre ceding the 31st of July has occupied as sole tenant the same lodgings in one and the same dwelling-house, such lodgings being of a clear yearly value, if let unfurnished, of £lO or upwards, was entitled to claim to be regis tered as a voter. The value of the lodgings would have to be proved before a revising barrister; and where the lodgings had been taken unfurnished the best proof of the clear yearly value would be the amount of rent actually paid, such rent not being less than £lO a year, or 4s. a week. The claim must be both dated and delivered to the overseers of the parish in which the lodgings are situate not earlier than the Ist nor later than the 25th of August. A long desultery conversation ensued, in which the arguments employed were addressed for the most part to the discussion of technical points con tained in the new Reform Act regarding the lodger fran chise. One of the members present asked what was being done as regarded the prosecution of those who had been discovered as having created the disturbance at the recent Guildhall meeting on the subject of the Irish Church. The answer was that a report had been submitted to the council, and that further measures were being adopted to carry out its suggestions. TRADES UNIONS AND STRIKES. The discussion opened on this subject at the meeting held on the 4th instant in the theatre of the Boeiety . of Arts, under the presidency of Mr. Gladstone, was resumed on Wednesday night by adjournment at the rooms of the Social Science Association, Adam•street, Adelphi. Mr. G. W. Hastings, who occupied the chair, recalled to mind that two resolutions stood over from the former meeting, and these it was now proposed to take up. Mr. Newmarch accordingly propOsed the first of these, observing that its intention was sufficiently indicated by its words, viz.:— " That in the opinion of this meeting the interests of both workmen and employers, instead of being opposed, are in harmony, and indeed identical ; it being, for example, for the benefit of each class that the rate of wages should always be adopted which, on the one hand, is not so high as to drive away capital, and, on the other, not so low as to drive away labourers." Mr. Plummer seconded the resolution, and quoted Mr. Charles Knight and Mr. Stuart Mill in support of it. Mr. Thomas Hughes, M.P., said it was quite impossible that he could agree to the resolution, because the interests of the em ployers and employed were not identical. If they were, this society had been wasting a good deal of time, and the Trades Union Commission was sitting to no purpose. He was afraid it would always be a question of strife as to what share of profit capital and labour should each take, and hence the resolution was not true in fact. Mr. Torrens moved, as an amendment, "That in the opinion of the meeting it is expedient in the interest of workmen and employers that wages should, as far as the fluctuations of trade would permit, be so adjusted as to avoid equally those extreme rates which tend to drive away capital, and deprive the workman of a comfortable sub sistence for himself and family." Mr. Ruskin was pre pared to second the amendment, with the addition of some words to fix a standard of wages ; but after a long discus sion, in which Mr, Lloyd Jones, Mr. Lushington, Mr. Dunning, Mr. F. Hill, and others took part, Mr. Torrens consented to withdraw his amendment in favour of one proposed by Mr. Webster, Q.C., as follows :—" That, in the opinion of this meeting, while all relations between employer and employed are of the nature of contract and of transactions of purchase and sale, it it, still true that, in no remote sense, the real interests of both are the same, and that it is for the general interest that profits and wages should be adjusted so as to foster enter prise in the most effectual manner." Mr. Teulon seconded this amendment, and it was eventually agreed to almost unanimously. Dr. Hodgson then proposed, and Mr. F. Hill seconded, the final resolution : "That con sidering how important it is that a knowledge of some of the simpler laws of political economy, on the practical application of which such momentous interests depend, should be acquired before the mind becomes biased and the passions aroused, this meeting is of opinion that, how ever elementary the school, and of all classes, such instruc tion should always form part of the education." This gave rise to another lengthened discussion ; but it was eventually agreed to, and a vote of thanks to the chair. man closed the proceedings of a very protracted sitting. The attendance was not so numerous as at the former meeting. ELECTION LYTELLIGEXCE.

EXETER.—The Liberal Association have determined that Mr. Edgar Bowring shall be nominated as the second candidate to stand with Mr. Coleridge at the next contest, subject to the approbation of the other sections of the Liberal party who are not comprised in the Liberal Asso ciation. Should he contest the seat, his opponent will be the Attorney-General, Sir John Karslake. PENTLYN AND FALMOUTH. —Mr. Fowler (C.) addressed a large assembly on Tuesday night. The Liberal candi dates are Mr. Smith, one of the present members, and Mr. Kirkman Hodgson, who now sits for Bridport. Both sides expect a severe contest. DEATH OF DEAN KIRWAN IN A TURKISH BATH.—A correspondent of the Cork Examiner, writing from Limerick under date of July 13, says :—" I regret to announce the rather sudden death of the Itev. Anthony Latouche Kirwan, L.D., Protestant Dean of Limerick, which took pace this morning at the Turkish Baths, Military-road, Limerick. He proceeded to take his bath, and became very weak during the process, so that, at his own request, Dr. Gelston was sent for. The doctor arrived and saw the deceased in the sudatorium, and I understood waited with him till he had finished his bath, which he did in the ordinary course, and returned to the dressing-room, where he lay in his stall for about an hour before the sad event took place. Meanwhile Dr. Gelston had gone away and had been again sent for, and the son of the deceased had also left, never dreaming that the end of his father was so nigh. He died about twelve o'clock, calmly, and almost without a struggle. He had no fit of any kind, and was perfectly conscious that his last hour was upon him. He seemed to have expired of weakness and exhaustion, but such was the state of his health that it made his decease at anY time a matter of expectation for years. His death causes the first important Crown living to become vacant since the vote of the House of Commons against the Church Establishment.

From the remarkable pamphlet published within the last few days in the form of a letter addressed to the Earl Stanhope by Sir George Bowyer, Bart., M.P. for Dundalk, and in which is recounted with admirable luciditi the secret history of the foundation of the Catholic Hierarchy in England, we take the following passage : _ _ It was determined that the time had come when Dr. Wiseman, then Vicar Apostolic of the London district, ought to be raised to the cardinalate, but a serious difficulty arose. No cardinal since Card' . nal Pole had resided in England. It was feared that the residence of a cardinal in England migh t cause inconveniences, especially by irritating 0° feelings of the Protestants, and perhaps by clash' ing with the law of the land. It was, however, considered that the hat must be conferred on that illustrious prelate, although the consequence would be his withdrawal from England, lie might, re siding at Rome, lecture and preach, and by his writings influence opinion in his own country. I t was accordingly decided that Dr. Wiseman should be promoted to the sacred purple, should reside permanently at Rome, and not return to reside 1 0 England. Dr. Wiseman called on Lord John Russell/ communicated to him his promotion and its con' sequences, and took leave. The interview w 35 friendly and cordial on both sides. So far all was clear. The new cardinal left England in the full conviction that Rome would be his future domicile. It was intented that he should be librarian of the Vatican Library, a po 9t always held by cardinals, distinguished as he Was for great literary attainments. After his promotion, a new and u n expected difficulty arose. The Pope received letters froln some of the greatest Prelates in the Rowa n Catholic Church, representing the injury to our religion which must arise by the removal of Car' dinal Wiseman from England. Those eminent personages charged the conscience of the Sovereign Pontiff with the consequences of that removal. After the most mature consideration, it appeared that the difficulty was so grave that it could only be surmounted by ascertaining some mode 11 which Cardinal Wiseman could be sent back t ° England. This at first seemed almost im possible. A cardinal could not be a Vicar Apostolic. lie could only be a diocesan archbishop or bishop , if included in the hierarchy of jurisdiction of allY country. He could not have been sent ba ck , merely as a cardinal, because he wo u ld have had no place in the ecclesiastical constitution of O r Church in England under Vicars Apostolic, th e Vicars-General of the Pope, who was then held to be the sole ordinary of the whole country. Th e position of a cardinal simply in England woul d have been ecclesiastically impossible. Then ther e were all the difficulties attending the residence of a cardinal in England. The problem W° formidable. Only one solution presented itself, though fraught with danger. That solution was the creation of a hierarchy il l England. THE AMERICAN BATTALION FOR THE POPZ ---. The New York .Herald of the Ist contains the fcl lowing protests from the Roman Catholic arch bishops of Baltimore, Cincinnati, New York, a l3l * St. Louis :—" The publication in the newspaper ° of a circular from Rome, to the effect that the Holy Father had consented to accept the services of a battalion of 1,000 men, to be raised in the i United States, on condition that the s a id men go; be carefully chosen and be equipped and support ed for three years by the Catholics of these state:lt seems to call for some official notice from the pre lates, to whom the circular is exclusively addressed' and to whose discretion, as guardians of the inte rests of the Church in this coun t ry, th e su bject 1 " committed. For this reason, and for the purpcs h e at the same time of satisfying inquiries whi c .; have reached us from vari ous quar t ers, we deem proper thus publicly to define our position wit h reference to a matter of so muc h i mpor t anc e, an d , in doing so we h ave th e b est reasons f or knowlilb that we do but speak not alone our own sentimeo t t but those also of our venera bl e b re th ren in tll , episcopacy. It is needl e ss f or us t o sa y how ST cerely we desire to uphold and,protect, as far 0 113 us lies, the temporal independence of the lj el4, L J Father, being pe rsua d e d h ow essen ti a l it i s to the free and unfette re d exerc i se o f hi s sp i r it ua l soPre, macy in the gove rnmen t o f th e un i versa l Church' Yet the proposal to r a i se an d equ i p an A m erica n battalion did not originate with us. As far as e can learn, it has emanated from and been per sl° .; tently urged on the military a u th or iti es a t Ron'° „. some party or parties who have assumed to rePr e , sent us, not only without our sanction or atith c t rity, but even w ith ou t our k now l e d ge ; an d wh at renders this the more remar k a bl e i s th e f a ct tha t r the gentleman who has succeeded i n securing f c) , himself, in advance, the appointment of lieutenal P , c )lonel, to ha v e command of th e p ro p o sed batt gl t lion, is one who, we feel bound to say., does no enjoy, and is not entitled to enjoy, our conficleil e especially in a position of so high a responsibill and trust. If he has found encouragement al ) support from one or two journals, edited by C l l . , tholic laymen, which have given place to his 1 advised correspondence, this d oes no t strength.% his claims, inasmuch as th e j ourna l s in. clues ti° i 4- 0 are not to be recognized as re li a bl e exponen ts of Catholic views or sentiments, still less as dise re e or commendable advocates of the Catholic caul, Besides, the project, as proposed, with the e OO tions which are annexed to it, cannot, in ° a ow judgment, be successfully carried out; an d attempt to do so would, we apprehend, instea d e a serving the cause of our venerable and bel° ° Holy Father, prove detrimental to it. It i sll 0 necessary to enter into further details; it 34' enough to add that we still have reason to lol lt that pecuniary aid is more needed at this moineliito than military aid, and will be more acceptable f ru us. We shall continue, therefore, as hitherto, is urge our generous and faithful Catholic chilfivif to contribute abundantly, according to 'A i ° means, for the support of our common father , " A ft will employ their offerings in such a marrinc r o or may to him seem best ; not doubting that bloc' so doing we shall meet his warm approval,' t ott merit his apostolic benediction.
