SPIRIT or THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Times, commenting on the arrest of the Duke of iretttpensier by the Spanish Government, speaks of that nobleman as popular both at Seville and throughout the ?eninsula—as popular as any Frenchman could ever hope o be south of the Pyrenees ; and he owed the public avour which he enjoyed not only to his engaging and ,ffable manners, but also to his sound and well-known "Jiberal principles. It was only with the utmost reluc ance that the duke and his duchess ever made their ,ppearance at the Court of Madrid, where their presence lispleased the advisers of the Qneen's reactionary ,olicy, and where, it is said, the duke's voice was Med in vain attempts to counteract their baneful nfluence. The Queen, however, was proof against all riendly admonitions, and those prelates, nuns, and onfessors who so well knew how to make the palace too sot eves for the shrewd and not ultra-radical Dowager Queen Christina could be at no loss for means to estrange Queen Esabella from a sister and a biother-in-law towards whom n former years she had entertainedno unfriendly feelings. rho Duke of Montpensier, however, lived too prudently md, at the same time, too openly in his retirement at Seville to give ground for the faintest breath of suspicion; Ind so long as such ruthless but frank soldiers as O'Donnell )1. Narvaez were in power the idea of the Duke of %lontpcnsier's participation in any plot, or even of his tctive co-operation with any party, would never have entered any man's brain. But it is otherwise now, when, upon the decease et Narvaez, that unnatural phe nomenon in Spain, a civilian Government, has been 'nstalled— a Government necessarily exposed to the enmity )f the people, yet destitute of the support of the army. 3onzalez Bravo, however, is a man of a di ff erent stamp 'rem Narvaez. The beginning and end of his policy is terror, and he has been for the last fewmonths aggravating ilia terrorising measures to such an extent as to compel iiscordant and ;post heterogeneous parties to -coalesce against him, and to organise all Spain into a east, more or less open conspiracy, by which the safety )f the throne is as seriously compromised as that of the Ministry. The Times would not undertake to assert that ')'Donnell's old friends, Serrano, Dulce, &c., were abso lutely unconnected with the movement which was said to be at hand. All it can say is, that had those officers been ever so innocent, M. Gonzalez Bravo had very strong interest in presuming them guilty. He was too glad of any pretext to lay his hands upon them and put them out of the was' of mischief. By the suddenness of their arrest, and by their arbitrary removal, he has rid himself of inconvenient complaints and unto ward explanations. Absent men are always in the wrong, end where there is so much smoke it cannot be difficult to induce a, belief that there must be fire. That there are plots in Spain, that revolutions not only political, but also dynastic, are perpetually hatching in that country, is a point which few persons would be at the pains to dispute. For the last twenty years Queen Isabella's throne has been supported only by the bayonets of the army ; her Government has been in the hands of which ever general happened to have the army more imme diately under his control. There is something above personal interests, something even above political con siderations. There is the misery of the multitude ; there is famine driving the rural population in shoals to the cities; there is want meeting the immigrant tide at the town gates and forcing it back swollen by its own tributary streams to the country. Never, by all accounts, were 7 agabondage, highway robbery, and all the horrors of a disorganised society more rife in Spain than at the present season. Of what avail against such enemies will be such arts of government as those by which M. Gonzalez Bravo endeavours to rid himself of a few generals and of a prince of the blood ? There is not room for all Spaniards in the penal settlements ; nor is it easy to contrive a plot impli cating a whole people. The Spanish Minister is playing a nigh game ; but it is doubtful whether he will prove the extent of his courage and energy, or only the desperate nature of his position. Th o Post observes that the ninth annual volunteer meeting at Wimbledon, now being held, promises to be not only the most complete and successful which has yet been held, but to mark an important epoch in the history of this very i remarkable movement. In the sortnight during which the elite, the most enthusiastic, and the really earnest of the force will be in constant intercom munication, they must necessarily discuss , in a serious manner the causes which led to the lamentable occurrences at the review at Windsor, whereby an undoubted stigma has been cast on the volunteers, and they can hardly fail to come to some weighty conclusions respecting the dis cipline of the force, which, emanating from such an influ ential source, ought to have, and most probably will have, a marked effect upon its members. Besides this the corps encamped at Wimbledon will have a great opportunity for practising and exhibiting true military discipline in camp; and it should be their aim at the meeting, and the review at its conclusion, not only to show the finest rifle shooting in the world, but also to prove 0 the most incredulous that the volunteers of England can be brought together in large numbers and present all the features of disciplined soldiers. The Herald notes that a committee has been formed for the purpose of raising a Beales National Testimonial Fund of £lO,OOO as some acknowledgment of his great services and sacrifices. In the appeal which the originators of this scheme make to the particular public, they divide this claim into three particular heads. Mr. Beales is to have ten thousand pounds—first, for his services to the cause of reform and the right of public meeting—i.e., the destruction of the park railings ; next, for the sacri fices he has made ; and, lastly, for the abuse and calumny he has had to endure. Unfortunately, they do not tell us at how much they value the sacrifices, the services, and the endurance of abuse separately. Ten thousand pounds would recoup the sacri fices a good many times. Such calumny and abuse as Mr. Beales has endured he has had full value for in the calumny and abuse he has flung about him ; and the services are worth a good deal more or nothing at all. If Mr. Beales is the author of our new constitution, if he has given the English people liberty, he has rendered services which cannot be appraised in any sum of money, and the gift of ten thousand pounds would be an insult to him. The Herald declares that it regards the proposal to present the barrister with a testimonial as a base attempt to shelve the patriot. Having no evidence, our contemporary will not suggest that Mr. Gladstone is at the bottom of this scheme for getting rid of a dan gerols rival *by paying him off, but the matter certainly wears that appearance. Everyone knows how jealous the Whigs are of men of genius and of men who spring from the people. Those who have felt the deadly aristocratic poison which taints the air at Brookes's cannot resi s t th e conviction that a most Machivellian plot is on hand for shelving the noble Beales. The Daily News calls attention to the reaction which has taken place in the monetary world in favour of foreign securities. Foreign bonds are now as eagerly bought as but a few weeks ago they were shunned. A significant proof of this revulsion in public feeling is shewn by the success of the operations recentl3P put forth. The Argen tine loan is the only one of any magnitude, and that bore the valuable prestige of being introduced by a firm of unimpeachable standing,—a firm well meriting the title of Merchant Princes, and who, after the experience of the recent confiscatory action of Italy and Austria, set the example of binding the Argentine Govern ment, before seeking subscriptions from the public, that the new loan should be exempt from all taxation lipon the company now and hereafter. This honourable ilrecedent must be followed by all foreign borrowers if they appeal to the English market. For the time being a speculative mania exists in Austria and South Germany which in a minor degree recalls the madness in this country of 1845 and 184 6—railway, omnibus, and all sorts of com panies are brought forward in quick succession—subscribed two or three times over, and are quoted on the Vienna Bqurse and elsewhere at high premiums. The end of all this is very clear, and a mere question of time, reaction, and ruinous collapse, such as we suffered in 1847 and 1843. These German markets during such a mania may probably disregard all prudential considerations, and blindly rush into foreign loans without exacting the condi tions which can alone render them safe securities in periods of war or adversity. But here it is not so. Our memory is too fresh of the terrible losses caused to foreign bond holders in this country by the Crimean war in 1853 and the Austrian and Italian war of 1859. On both these occa sions the general object was to sell at any sacrifice, and the current belief was that all the foreign Powers engaged in their respective contests must of necessity stop payment. All this has taught a good and practical lesson to English capitalists —they will no longer lend in the dark. It is vain to talk of the Paris, Dutch, and German markets. The real mart for capital is here. The Standard scoffs at the idea that the Conservative party will be destroyed in the next elections. It says that nothing but a perverse and wilful blindness could have led some of our Liberal writers to expect that the passage of the Reform Bill would lead to such a result. They will be able to perceive in a very few months how utterly faLse was this deduction. Conservatism, as a principle of political action, cannot (lie until all national thought and indepen. d emu are dead. It is a necessary force in ourpolitical life, and must be represented in some form orother. What though the ground of conflict in one generation is not the same as that in another—the conflict itself is eternal, and the battle never-criclirg. Conservatism, indeed, if it were what these of the other side in their ignorance or their preju dice suppose it to be, would have been extinct long since. Ilut true Conservatism is not an obstacle to progress—it is a mode of progress. As long as men are constituted as they are, it must endure. It has its seasons of flow and ebb, but it can never be exhausted ; and even if Mr. Dforley's social millennium were realised, it would not last A week without the rise of a Conservative party. There fore, me look forward to the future with perfect compla =CY. SIB B. IVAPIEB AT THE UNTED SERVICE CLUB. On Saturday evening the members of the United Service Club, Pall Mall, entertained Sir Robert Napier at dinner. The Duke of Cambridge, K.G., presided, and the Prince of Wales honoured the club by being present as a member. Sir R. Napier was accompanied by Major-General Scott, Lieutenant-Colonel Dillon, military secretary, and Lieutenant Scott, aide-de-camp. Sir Stafford Northcote, Secretary of State of India ; Lord Stanley, Foreign Secretary ; and Sir John Pakington, War Minis ter, were present. The tables were arranged to dine 140, and about that number were present. On dessert being served his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge pro posed " The health of her Majesty the Queen," which was most loyally responded to. The Duke of Cambridge next propesed " The health of the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family." His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales briefly responded to the toast. The Duke of Cambridge then proposed the toast of the evening, "The health of General Sir Robert Napier," and in so doing he coupled " the military and naval forces em ployed under that distinguished officer in Abyssinia." Lieutenant-Gtneral Sir R. Napier rose after the applause with which he was received had subsided, and in a brief speech returned thanks for the terms in which his health and that of the brave expedition he had had the honour to command had been drunk. General Dunne, M.P., then proposed " The health of the Duke of CaMbridge, their president.". His Royal Highness briefly acknowledge the compliment, and the company shortly afterwards separated. BRUTAL MURDER IN IRELAND. The Leinster Express gives the following particulars of a murder committed on Sunday, the sth inst., in the Queen's County. About ten o'clock on Sunday morning a labouring man, named Philip Tierney, was seen by a woman to leave the housii 'of a cousin of his, named Meehan, and enter the Lisduff Wood on the Erill side. Soon after this woman heard a shot fired in the direction taken by Tierney, and here her knowledge ceases. Tierney, it seems, was a desperate poacher on the preserves of the Right Hon. J. W. Fitzpatrick, M.P., and known as such to one of the keepers, named William Holmes, by whom he had been summoned_ several times before the magistrates—at least so it transpired before the coroner. Late in the day the friends of the deceased be*le anxious as to his whereabouts, and a search was instituted, when the body of Tierney was discovered on Monday morning, lifeless, stretched on a path way leading through the wood ; and when examined it was found that two bullets, one larger than the other, were lodged in his brain, while a third had penetrated through the forehead. Suspicion at once pointed— whether correctly or otherwise remains to be shown—to the man Holmes ; and on a search being made in his house a double-barrelled gun was found, one of the barrels of which appeared to have been recently discharged. There were also a couple of pistols found, neither of which seemed to have been used for some time, along with some lead bullets of two different sizes. In addition to these facts, it was stated at the inquest that death must hare been caused by a pistol placed close to the man's head, as evi denced by the large quantity of hair ' singed.' If the shot was fired from a gun placed in such close proximity to the man, the three bullets must have gone through the head altogether. The verdict returned at the inquest was, " That the deceased, Philip Tierney, came by his death between the morning of the sth and 6th instant, from wounds inflicted on his head by bullets fired by some person or persons unknown." Much excitement was ex hibited during the inquest, and the people assumed so threatening a manner towards Holmes that it was deemed necessary to bring him to Maryborough to prevent his life being endangered. Up to the present no clue has been found that could lead to the arrest of any person. De ceased was preparing to start for America in a short time. it also appears that the gun which seemed to have been used was fired by a man early in the morning of Sunday, The Right Hon. J. W. Fit i ppatrick, M.P„ has offered £lOO reward for any person or persons who shall give such information as will lead to the arrest and conviction of th; murderer. LAW AND POLICE. DANGEROUSLY WOUNDING A MANAGER.—At the Durham Assizes, Jonathan Woodmass, a labourer, was indicted for wounding Percy Gibson, the manager of the Skerne Ironworks, with intent to murder him. On the 7th of July the prisoner and another man offered them selves for employment to the prosecutor, who acceded to the request of the other person, but refused to give any work to the accused, who had previously betn employed on the premises. This treatment irritated the prisoner, who went away and got intoxicated. lie then returned, and with a knife stabbed Mr. Gibson several times, though, fortunately, without seriously injuring him. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to five years' penal ser vitude. VERDICT FOR ONE SHILLING.-At the Oakham Assizes the case of_Fryer v. Palmer was heard. The parties are both farmers residing at Hambleton, and it was alleged that the defendant called the plaintiff a " rogue and a thief, and ought to be transported." It seemed that the parties had previously quarrelled about a house. The jury gave ls. damages. SHOCKING CASE OF MANSLAIIGHTER.—At the Leicester Assizes, William Dilley Was indicted for the wilful murder of William Jones, on the 3rd June. A girl, named Maria Webster, who was the sweetheart of the deceased, said they were returning from a feast, when the pri soner, with another man, came up and used some disgusting language. This irritated Jones, who struck the accused with his flat hand. The prisoner then struck the deceased with a knife several times, and caused such injuries that death ensued. The jury found Dilley guilty of man slaughter, and he was sentenced to fifteen years' penal servitude. ATTEMPTING, TO UPSET A TRAIN.—At Marylebons Police•court, James Folke, aged 15, was charged with attempting to upset an express train on the London and North-Western Railway. A platelayer was coming from the Kilburn end of the Primrose-hill tunnel, when he observed the prisoner stooping down on the main line, and on examin ing the metal witness found that the screw bolt had been placed on it. Witness took the bolt off, and did not pursue the prisoner, as an express train would have to pass in a few seconds. It was explained that at this spot the " guard" of the engine would have thrown the obstruction from the " wing rail" to the " check rail," the effect of which must undoubtedly have been to throw the train off the line. Mr. Mansfield remanded the pr'sor.er fr a week. THE IMPERIAL J APANESE TROUPE.—The Impe rial Japanese Troupe, under the direction of Mr. Risley, had the honour, on Tuesday last, of exhibiting before her Majesty the Queen of Spain and the Spanish Court, at the palace at Madrid. At a subsequent performance upwards of five thousand persons were present, and the success of the Imperial Japanese was very great, loud exclamations of surprise and pleasure accompanying each feat. At the expiration of this Court engagement at Madrid, the Japanese Troupe, with their manager, return to England, and make a tour in the provinces. FIRE AND EXPLOSION AT SOUTHAMPTON. —On Sunday morning, at half-past four, a very loud explosion was heard at Southampton, which arose from an explosion of gunpowder, ball cartridges, signal rockets, and paraffin on, from the back premises of the business place of Mr. Stebbing, the mayor of the town, situated almost opposite the dock gates. The mayor is an optician, nautical instrument maker, and purveyor of various kinds of ship's stores. The back premises were blown by the explosion almost to pieces, the adjoining premises were seriously injured, and the windows of houses in the neighbourhood were broken. Fragments of the blown-up building were thrown to great distances. Immediately after the explosion smoke and fire issued from the spot, the dock engine was brought out, and measures taken to extinguish the fire. The promp titude of these measures prevented it from extending, and after a time it was subdued. It was conjectured that the explosion was caused by lightning. The damage done is estimated at £5,000. The premises were insured in the Royal. NARROW ESCAPE. —The Western Morning News says that as a yacht named the Ida, during a match a day or two since, was passing about ten yards west of the target at Bovisand, at which a party of men belonging to the Royal Artillery were firing, a shell burst quite close to her, and a piece of iron, supposed to have been about eight or nine pounds weight, struck her boom, cutting it completely through, and carrying away a portion of the mainsail. One of the crew, named Pengelly, observed the piece of sheli coming towards them, and raised an alarm. The owner of the yacht, Mr. Hocking, was on board, and was lounging or the platform, when Pengelly sang out that a shell was coming, on hearing which he immediately jumped off the platform, otherwise he would probably have been killed. The men on board the yacht signalled to those at the fort, but they took no notice of it. There must have been great oversight on the part of those in charge of the firing party at Bovisand, as it appears that the men who should have been on the look-out could be distinctly observed from the Ida lying on the grass, and not taking any notice of what wa tanspiring. • The Ida was becalmed at the time, and had be• n in very much the same Er,lition for more tha o h ur. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1808. ROMAN AFFAIRS. (Front the Roman Correspondent of the Westminster Gazette) ROME, July 4. The booming cannon of St. Angelo and an alinost tropical brilliance of sunshine ushered in the feast of SS. Peter and PauL Always a great feast here, its celebration seems to be invested with additional lustre and interest by last year's special solemnity. This year also its importance was enhanced by the promul gation of the Bull announcing the assembly , of the General Council. An erroneous im pression had got abroad that it would be pronounced by the Holy Father himself at the High Mass, and many who went expect ing some unusual and striking ceremonial were doomed to disappointment. It was all gone through before the Pope entered the church. Mgr. Colombo (a descendant, by-the-by, of the family of Christopher Columbus), Apostolic protonotary, read it from a sort of estrade or pulpit erected for the purpose to the left of the great entrance-door of S. Peter's. He was attended by a body of prelates, and the reading was preceded by a flourish of trumpets, the people standing round with uncovered heads. Two copies of the Bull were then affixed to the door, and the prelates proceeded to per form the same ceremony at S. John Lateran. Two copies of the Bull were likewise affixed, while trumpets sounded, to the doors of the Cancelleria, and as well, I believe, but without ceremony, to the doors of the other basilicas. And thus the long-talked-of work is so far accomplished, and the Bull, " 2Sterni Patris," convokes for the Bth of December, 1869, the first Ecumenical Council that has ever held its session at S. Peter's. The Bull itself will have reached you in the course of the week, and you will have observed that it does not call any temporal princes to the Assembly. Secular governments are only mentioned in it in expressing a hope that they will put no obstruction in the way of the jour ney of the bishops to Rome ; " seeing that," to quote its language, "the Catholic religion is the most sure foundation of civil society ;" a truth too often lost sight of by the sovereigns of the world; but it is because they have lost sight of it that Pius IX. leaves them out of the account so to speak. It is their boast to have broken the ancient link which bound the Church to the State, to have secularized the State and to have shut up the Church in her sanctuaries, and it is now her turn to say —" You have sent me into the sacristy; to use your own expression, you cannot complian. I hold my assembly there and call you not, as I was wont to call your predecessors, to take part in my deliberations." By fixing a date so far forward as .the Bth of December, next year, ample time is allowed for the bishops to arrange conveniently for the ad ministration of their dioceses during their ab sence, and for the Commissions which are pre paring the minutes of the Council, and whose labours have not been interrupted by the heat of a Roman July to complete their work. The possible complications which might in terfere with the progress of the component members no less than with their free delibera tions are, of course, not to be lost sight of ; but we have one good ground at least for thinking that the Italian Government has pro fited by the lesson of Mentana, and is not anxious just yet, at all events, again to mea sure its strength against that of the defenders of the Holy See. I have authentic information that enrolments of Garibaldians are going on along the frontier, that bounties of fifty to eighty francs are being offered to induce idle lads to enlist, and it is not the denial in the official Florence papers that would lead one to believe in the absence of governmental countenance to their movements. The events of last autumn, not to say every act of the present reign, have taught us that no statement from that quarter is worth the paper on which it is printed. The guarantee to which I allude, is this—that in spite of all its late blustering and protesting, the Florence Government has at last consented to liquidate its liabilities to wards the Papal debt, taking advantage, how -1 ever, of the permission to do so by instalments. The first instalment of three millions is expected here within the next few days. As there is no reason to believe this due to any return to a higher moral principle, it must, of course, be ascribed to a sense of impotence and conse quent amenability to the representations of France. This view leads to the conclusion that there is neither means nor strength to back up another invasion of Papal territory, and if enlistments of mercenaries for the pur pose are not interfered with, it is partly be cause the Government is too weak to interfere, and partly because it would rather see turbu lent revolutionary tendencies dashing them selves to pieces against the rock of St. Peter than directing their efforts against its own more shifting foundations. Moreover, week by week the proportions of the Papal army con tinue to gather strength. In spite of the relaxation of open efforts, the spirit which is abroad in America refuses to be chilled, and when General Carrol-Tavis returns in the autumn, not many short of the thousand of the original estimate will follow him. The Poitiers Committee has just forwarded fifty mules for the service of the Artillery, which are well calculated fir use in this country ; and among the latest recruits for the Zonaves is Don Alfonso, a young nephew of the late Don Carlos of Spain, a son of Don Juan de Borbon. He enters as a simple private, though he has a Spanish General in attendance on him. While on the subject of this gallant corps, I cannot forbear a passing allusion to an ab surd report of disunion among its chiefs, to which certain writers have been busy in giving circulation. The avidity with which any breath of suspicion of the defectibility even of any of its members is gulped down, is a satis factory, and I might perhaps be allowed to say amusing, testimony to the exceptional har mony and good conduct generally prevailing among them. They are men after all, and liable consequently to feelings of jealousy and self-esteem ; to misunderstand each other's expressions ; to miscalculate ; to act with im petuosity or imprudence, or to yield to any of the similar little follies which perpetually ex ercise a disturbing influence over the best ordered and most polished coteries ; and yet it has never happened that the keenest glances of adverse journalism has as yet alighted on a blot. Many Zouaves are absent on leave ; permis sions are the more readily accorded that last autumn proved that the bugle-call was so eagerly listened for by them ; that no one missed its note; and the dearest interests of home were powerless to delay, for a single day, one on whose ears it had a claim, from flying to answer its appeal. Among those who have sought the invigorating influence of a higher latitude during the summer has been Lieut.- Colonel de Charette. This simple circumstance has been tortured into a story, on which has been founded an account implying something like the break-up of the administrative force. The brave French Baron is represented as having been ignominiously dismissed under circumstances which made it particularly diffi cult to fill up his place ; that the complication placed other officers in so difficult a position that many resignations, including some of the bravest, might be expected, and the prestige thus lost would destroy the character of the regiment. _ _ _ It was a prettily-arranged plot of romance, but fortunately it is a romance from beginning to end. That difference of opinion as to the arrangement of details have existed between the Lieutenant-Colonel and the Colonel and pro-Minister, is no secret ; that they have, notwithstanding, pulled well together, is an evidence that both talent and forbearance exist among them. At the present moment, so far from Colonel de Charette having quitted the service, I am assured that both in France and in England, where his private connections take him, he is entrusted with work for the army by the pro-Minster; and should the Garibal dian hordes be ill-advised enough to attempt anobher raid, they and their writers-up will probably find to their cost that none will be quicker to the front than he. The Pope sang the High Mass at St. Peter's on Monday, and assisted pontifically at that on the commemoration of St. Paul, next day at S. Paolo fuor' le mura. He assisted also at the first Vespers of the Feast on' Sunday evening, and blessed the palliums. The double illumination of St. Peter's took place the same night, with its usual gorgeous effect. The morning of St. Peter's day, which had opened so bright, gave way to a dull and lowering afternoon, and presently the rain came down heavily. At four o'clock the ten guns sounded, which was the signal to the city that the Girandola is prevented by the weather ; and the next day was also so showery, that though the appointed three guns gave notice that it would take place, the majority disbe lievedthe report, and the concourse round St. Peter, in Montorio, where it was displayed, was not so great as it would otherwise have been. The exhibition was very much damaged by the rain, causing a special disappointment in regard to the chief tableau, which the talented architect Vespiniani had been induced to de sign. He had chosen the 15th and 16th Cantos of the Gerusalemme liberata for his theme, and had had the happy and novel idea of introducing the copious floods of water, supplied by the acqua Paola, on the neighbour ing height. Another event of this week has been the Pope's visit to the Camp on Thursday. This was of course an occasion full of interest for all Rome, and the neighbouring villages, and one calculated to rouse the enthusiasm of the men to the uttermost, and great was the taste and skill they had exercised in giving a festal appearance to their martial abode, to do honour to their exalted visitor. Triumphal arches of evergreens and garlands of bright flowers spanned the way, which was made gay with trophies of arms and festoons of flags and improvised gardens ; and the poor fellows were duly gratified with the smiling approval of the Holy Father, as he subsequently passed through their lines, on the efforts with which they had toiled in the burning sun over their scanty ap pliances. The spot chosen for the camp is a high level plain, thought by some to be the crater of an extinct volcano, situated amid the loftiest peaks of the Alban Hills. The highest of these is Monte Cave, and it is so rugged that its peak but just affords room for the Passionist con vent and church, built there by Cardinal York, of our own Royal House of Stewart, when he was Bishop of Frascati. It covers the site of the temple erected by Tarquin the Proud in his desire to conciliate the Latin peoples to Jupiter Latialis, as the guardian of Latium, which it overlooks;—the spot where Juno stood to watch the last general conflict between the Trojans and the Latins. The magnificent prospect on sea and land from this summit, and the unaffected hospitality of the Passionist fathers, have tempted many to climb its steep ascent, which the bold pavement of Alexander VII. has done much to facilitate. All who have performed the pilgrimage have marked the singular basin to which I have alluded, and which has hitherto been useful chiefly in affording a storehouse for the snow with which Rome is so abundantly supplied in summer, in place of ice. It is popularly called the Campi di Annibale, because certain writers assigned it for the place of that General's encampment when he stood threatening Rome, but there is no very great reason to believe this, and some have even thought it to have served as the quarters of the Roman army on the look out for him, and in special guard of the temple of Jupiter Latialis. The place is well adapted for the purpose it is now made to serve, its temperature being perhaps healthier than that of any part of the State at this season, and the very difficulties of approach affording those lessons in readiness of resource which are so important to soldiers. The Pope went with his usual retinue to the Station at 6.15 a.m., and travelled by special train (the ordinary train giving it a quarter of an hour's start) in the handsome and beauti fully-appointed carriage built for his use. The precincts of the Station, as also those of Ciam pino and Frascati, and the engine of the Pon tifical train, w ere profusely d ecora t e d w i t h flowers and draperies, and white and yellow flags. Only a select few were of course admitted on to the platform until the special train had started. Besides the prelates and members of the Direction of the Railway Company in special attendance on the Pope, I noticed Princess Lancellotti and. Prince Massimo. Arrived at Frascati, General Kanzler and other officers were drawn up on the platform to greet him, and carriages previously sent on were in attendance to convey the Pontifical party to Rocca de Papa ; here a number of little girls dressed in white, with wreaths on their heads, came out to scatter flowers ; and over the little stage of steep, rugged road he was car part of the ri b e e t d w i e n e n a t c h h e a town b a e n a d r e r t s h . e c am This, way had the effect of a sort of triumph, for crowds gathered round cheering. General Zappi, who has the command of the camp, met him at its entrance, and conducted him to the tent where an altar had been prepared ; while the band struck up, and the troops, several thousand in number, infantry, artillery and cavalry, drawn up in due order around, paid people d rowne d th e , m a p n e d ts th in e a tumult o f a ppl ause . The Mass proceeded in due decorum and m mai us t i a e r a y nd ho t n h o e u tr r u s silence, broken only by the pealing of the can non, and by the loud word of command, and the clanking of arms as the soldiers bent the knee at the elevation. But just then the rain, which had been threatening all the morning, suddenly came down in torrents, giving an appropriate image of the storms which often burst on the soldiers' life in the midst of the profoundest apparent peace, and demand that he should be ever ready for action in the midst of his gladdest and most pleasing occupations. The wind raged round the tent as if seeking to annihilate it in its fury, and again and again extinguished the candles, so that they had at last to be replaced by camp lanterns of the most primitive device, and one attendant pre late had to hold the book, and another to pro. tect the sacred vessels from being overturned by the blast. Both the Pope and the troops preserved throughout an imperturbable com posure, and the divine sacrifice was com pleted with as much devotion as when offered up at the very shrine of the Apostles, amid the repose of the noblest dome in Christendom. After the Mass the Pope had coffee in an officer's tent, with General Kanzler in attend ance, and then, finding that the various corps had in the meantime been ranged round the entrance, he went out and stood in the door of the tent, and gave them his Apostolic Bene diction. His voice resounded through the recesses of the classic valley loud, and calm, and clear, above the hum of the multitude and the surging of the wind, the roll of the drums and the grumbling of the thunder ; and the sturdiest soldier was bowed with irrepressible emotion. Subsequently he drove through the camp slowly in an open carriage, stopping every now and then to take better notice of any par ticular incident. In returning to the village he elected to go on foot instead of being carried down. It is a narrow bit of road, tolerably steep, and very muddy and slippery from the late rains, so that he was forced occasionally to lean on General Kanzler's arm, and even on the guns of the soldiers drawn up on either side. Once, when there was a very bad piece, I heard him exclaim, playfully, "Questa, non la facciamo davvero !" (we shall never be able to get through this) • and at another I " Sona bravo viilitare 1" (I do not make such I a bad soldier, do I ?) At Rocca di Papa he I assisted at Benediction, given by Mgr. Nardi, and in the Sacristy, the clergy and many of the people were admitted, al bacio del sacro piede. He walked away down the street, which was draped and festooned, and spanned by a triumphal arch, and then drove to Grotta ferrata, which he reached about 12. Here he stayed till 4 o'clock, and dined ini the Convent of Basilian Monks. By she returned to Fras cati, and went into the church and knelt through the Benediction service. Afterwards, he walked across the piazza to the Seminary, and• soon after appeared in the loggia, gaily decorated with hangings, to the delight of the assembled crowd ; the rain had passed away, and the sun shining so powerfully again, that one of the attendants had to hold up his red hat to shade him from it ; the church clock chimed out the hour just as the people were looking up impatiently for his blessing, he waved his hand as though to point the cause of the delay, and then pronounced the solemn formula, at the close of which a burst of cheer ing broke from the assembled crowd. Captain D'Arcy's company (the first of the third battalion of Zouaves) formed a guard of hon our. The town band had played their best at intervals during the Pope's brief stay, and he sent a hundred cigars to be distributed among them. An elegant collation was prepared for him by the Company in the station at Frascati, and the special train left at quarter to seven. As it passed through the tunnel it was illumi nated with a sudden play of electric light. It was raining again when he got back to Rome, but the route of the corthr , t, thr ne cortege to .e Vatican, was lined by the usual eager crowd. THE CHIN ESE EMBASSY. (From the Anglo-American Times.) The approach of the Chinese mission to England is exciting attention, and no small amount of sus picion, being headed as it is by an American. It has been rumoured that the Mandarins, accompany ing Mr. BuRLINGAmE, are of little account in their own country, and that the Government intends through them to play a double game. A writer to the Times takes exception to a sentence as re ported in Mr. BURLINGAME'S speech, in reference to " a tyrannical policy, which would involve not only China, but would involve you in bloody wars with each other." According to the writer the English are therein charged with enforcing a policy of that order, and he replies that no grosser cari cature of the real facts could have been uttered. He fears Mr. BURLINGAME'S seductive influence on Lord STANLEY, and recommends the appointment of a board to act as a buffer, but such persons are always to be found to suggest doubts, and to thwart the accomplishment of the most desirable ends. The main doubt is, however, that the mission is designed to postpone the settlement of an inconvenient question about to be raised by the expiration of the present treaties in force. As the mission will soon be in London, we leave Mr. BURLINGAME to make his own explanations. On Saturday, the 20th June, the members of the Chinese Embassy visited General Grant, - when they met the Ministers of England, France, Russia, and Prussia. Mr. Reverdy Johnson, the American Minister to St. James's, was also there, Speaker Col fax and a number of the highest military officers, and afterwards the Ambassadors, were the guests of Chief Justice Chase. They then left Washington for New York, and a grand dinner had been given to them at Delmonico's, where Mr. Burlingame made the speech which has attracted so much atten tion in F.ngland. Mayor Hoffmann, Governor Fenton, and many of the most distinguished New Yorkers were present. The Ministers of the great Powers were invited, but those of France and England declined on the plea that they ware unable to absent themselves from their duties at 'Washing ton. One of the many rumours which have obtained currency as to the object of the mission in Europe, is that they desire to secure co-operation for the open ing of a ship canal through the Isthmus of Darien, to which China is willing to contribute $15,000,000. The despatch of such a mission shows an advance in knowledge at Peking, which is difficult for Euro peans and Americans unacquainted with the coun try, to realize, and to more than any other man this change is due to His Excellency Anson Burlingame. lie laboure I long for this effect, in conjunction withthe British Minister at Peking,the late Sir Frede rick Bruce. Mr. Burlingame uses the very argument that must have been forcibly present in the mind of Brigham Young when he took the contract to grade a section of the Union Pacific line. He urged upon the Celestial Government th It China must come into relations with the civilization pressing all around . her. She could no more fend it off than the Mor mons could, S 3 the Brother of the Mo ni took a course not unlike that of the Prophet, and advanced to meet it. The question was not whether it was for the benefit of the Celestials ts be brought into such communion, for it coul I no more loc. averted than could the incoming tide of the ocean. Indeed it is a question, and one of moat serious import to China, whether the Tartar ruler has not already delayed too long. The fairest provinces of the empire have been desolated by rebels; his capital has been captured by a foreign foe, and the inhabi tants of Peking have beheld the flames of the palaces of their monarch lighting up the range of hills, at whose base spread the wide gardens of the Yuen-Ming-Yuen. With a strange infatuation the father of the present Emperor courted the fate which overtook him. The wisest of his Ministers counselled peace with the advancing barbarians, who had broken through and captured his defences at Takoo. The simple-minded sovereign proposed " a hunting-tour," which his counsellors, assembled in multitudes, pronounced to be a flight from his capital, and after long argument the term was changed into " taking the field." " But," ex claimed the counsellors, " your Majesty's subjects are not fools ; the enemy are to the South, and your Majesty proposes to go North, leaving the capital between you and the enemy instead of your Ma jesty between that enemy and the capital." These barbarians, the counsellors declared, to be tame savages, compared with those of olden times, and the poor things were even dependent on their Chinese assistants, who might be bribed and de tached from them. They dwelt on the fact that they were a mere handful, and if the worst rime to the worst, the desire of the barbarians' could be con ceded, who only wanted to trade. The E nperor, in a panic and under an infatuation, fled to Jehol. It is comparatively easy to go there, said the advisers, but who will guarantee that you will ever get back ? They predicted that he would never return alive, nor did he return except to be buried, his death following a few months after his flight. When the British and French were rummaging the Summer Palace, a package of documents, lately written, was discovered and translated. It contained petitions sent to his Majesty by the different boards, toge ther with a few from retired Ministers and self constituted advisers. The intention of the Empe ror to abandon the position being announced under the plea of the hunting party, the Mandarins as sembled to discuss the "natter in their different offices, and these curious papers were the result. The President of the Board of Civil Olicea and his twenty-three colleagues—a small number compared with the signatures coming from other offices—used this language _ _ " They admire the awe-inspiring demeanour and the stragetic ability thus displayed, but the common people are extremely slow of compre hension ; they easily suspect, and with difficulty appreciate; and they will say that the barbarians are to the south-eastward of the capital. The change of plan from a hunting tour to taking the field in person should induce your Majesty to re main at Tang-chow for the support of Sanko-lin-sin. The taking up a post to the northward of the capi tal would be a desertion from the seat of war, and accordingly what in name was campaigning was in reality a hunting tour. The people's mind would be perturbed, and the spirit of the troops would fail. If defence and holding out in words are to mean flight and dispersion in fact, your Ministers will not urge your Majesty that the temples of your ancestors, and the altars of the tutelary gods will be abandoned—i.e., that the Empire will be lost. These three questions prese❑t themselves—First, What if your Majesty should find yourself in a place without any retreat? Second, What if your MA jesty's departure should lead to commotion in the capital ? Third, What if elsewhere your Majesty should be in the midst of more serious dangers? Your Majesty is well familiar with the maxim, that a prince 13 bound to sacrifice himself for his country." The blow to the prestige of the monarch has been damaging if not fatal, and it was shortly after the death of the late Emperor that Mr. Burlingame appeared on the scene. The last news from China is that the rebels had inflicted a defeat on the Imperialists and threatened to march on Peking. If any step could save the empire and re-establish the supremacy of the ruling family, it is that which has been so strongly and successfully urged by Mr. Burlingatne. Exclusion is a Tartar, not a Chinese, policy. Naturally the Celestials are fond of trade, willing to work hard for gain, and keen at barter, though lying and unscrupulous traders. Supposing that Mr. Burlingame makes his counsels felt by the Imperial Government, and that that Government retains the power of carrying into execution its re solves, the effect cannot fail to be prodigious. A third of the human race acknowledge the Emperor's sway, and to bring such a section into cordial com munication with the rest to work together for the development of the earth is to accomplish a revolution. In England, notwithstanding the mistrust, the Ambassadors will be well received, and every project calculatel to promote trade will be forwarded to the utmost, and they will be favourably impressed where they meet with consideration and hospitality. In their mind's eye they must compare the stagnation and decay left by the thousands of years of civiliza tion in the mighty empire of which they are citi zens, with the wealth, the luxury, and conveniences on both sides of the Atlantic. They will learn the value of work, of good government, and of well directed education. They already know the force with which the mighty countries of Christendom can strike when necessary, and they will be com pelled to acknowledge in the council chambers of the empire, through the official forms which only have weight in that land of red tape, that the fierce barbarians of their imagination are a mere myth, and that the wisest policy is to follow Mr. Burlin game's counsel, and work in unison with the great nations of the West. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. (From the Aulo American 2 imes.) Frank Leslie gives an amusing account of the collapse of the Athenaeum Club in New York. The projectors describe the feature of the Athenzeum to be /Esthetic, and yet convivial, so irreproachable in character that Christian mothers and wives would be glad to know their sons and husbands were within its influence, and at starting reverend men offered prayers at weekly meetings, while the neigh bouring rooms were dedicated to pastimes and club practices, without which members could not be got. One does not deserve credit, says Frank, for great foresight in predicting that a false pretence and a hypocritical sham such as that could not survive many years. The Club was started about nine years ago on this principle to combine what our illustrated contemporary describes good morals, respectability, &c., with the petty vices and follies of men of leisure and fashion, and although it considers the discreditable collapse to be another evidence that clubs are not indigenous to the Ameri can soil, yet it feels sure that such a hybrid insti tution would have failed anywhere. In London Frank says clubs are the refuge and asylum of men who through misfortune have no attractive homes, and wanting sweethearts and wives, rightly enough seek diversion and pleasure in indulgences which may be practised with immunity in a club-house among faithful friends. We wonder what the in dulgences alluded to are ? Better iced wines and better cooked entrées, with a smoking-room and plenty of newspapers, periodicals, and books are the only indulgences we have seen in London clubs. As regards " immunity" it consists in being pulled up.by the committee, if feet are put on chairs, if servants are rudely spoken to, if the smell of tobacco is detected in any other place than that set apart for smoking, or if a stranger, supposed to be the friend of a member, is seen irregularly on the premises. In deed a man has been struck off a club list for wear ing slippers ; another for lending money at a high rate of interest. This is all we know of the " im munity" for members of London clubs. We have sometimes thought, says Frank, that the majority of New York club members looked vastly like jilted men, but we can assure Frank that the beauty of a club is that one can sometimes escape from one's wife, and she can then be relieved from the society of a cross husband. Those in England who saw Bierstadt's picture of the Domes of the Yo Semite have some knowledge of that wonderful valley. It was conveyed by the General Government to the State of California, to be reserved for ever as a pleasure ground for the people. The Californian Legislature however granted large tracts to two squatters, and the bill was vetoed by the Governor. The Legislature passed the bill over the veto, and it was referred to Congress. A petition against any concession of the land to indi viduals is now being circulated for signature, and the Valley is in the hands of a commission charged with the duty of laying it out for public use. Bier stadt's picture has made it so well known in the Eastern States that the job is not likely to be suc cessful, and it is thought that Congress will sup port the Governor's veto. At one time rumours confidently asserted that Butler and Grant had been reconciled through the mediation of Mr. George Wilkes. The correspon dent of the Boston Advertiser gave a long account of the negotiations, but the latest statement is that Butler is not satisfied with the advances General Grant has been persuaded to make. Considering that Mr. George Wilkes, if report be true, is a very heavy loser by the result of Impeachment, which he naturally regarded from the sporting point of view, he was acting, while smarting from this, the part of the Good Samaritan in soothinc , the wounded feeling of that " old Democrat," as Senator Fowler calls B. F. Butler. A passage of arms had occurred between Mr. Fowler and Butler, the former having, in a speech in Tennessee, whilst reflecting on the conduct of his brethren, Messrs. Wade and Sumner alleged that the whole House of Representatives was under the lead of those good old Democrats, Butler and Logan. This remark the Tribune declared " to be in wretched taste," which the Nation thus comments on. " A man might be a very good fellow, and be disapproved of by Chesterfield ;" but when the Tribune says his language is in " wretched taste," women and child ren, and even decent men, ought to avoid his so • c i e ty. Mr. Butler has retorted by showing that Senator Fowler, in 186 G, travelled 500 miles to see him athis home in Lowell, " to urge him vehemently not to cease his efforts till Andrew Johnson was impeached." enators 111‘Donald and Rice, from Arkansas, were sworn in on Tuesday, June 23, and Repre sentatives Bolles, Root, and Hind the next day. The Representatives advanced to the bar of the House and took the oaths of office. Mr. James Brooks, of New York, presented a protest against their admission, signed by the 45 Democratic Re presentatives, to which the House refused to listen. The tone of this paper may be imagined from the following extract :—" Some of the now so-called bayonet Constitutions from the South propose ab surd and cruel tests—absurd as in Arkansas, where is interwoven in the organic law a mere party test between the Radical reconstructionists and the De mocratic Conservatives, such as would exclude from voting, if living there, the thousands, the tens of thousands, the hundreds of thousands of Democrats iu the free States (Article 8, section 4) ; and cruel as in Alabama, where no white man can vote who will not forswear his own race and colour, and per jure himself by swearing, in defiance of the law of God, that the negro is equal, and for ever to be his equal, at the ballot box, in the jury box, with the cartouche box, in the school, in the college, in the house and home, and by the fireside—in short, in every way, everywhere. The Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs has decided to report unfavourably upon the House Ut, instructing the Pre3ident tc senl vessels of war to di., Gulf of S , . Lawrence for the protection of American fiihareaen. The Legislative Appro priation Bill was discassel in the Chamber on the 231 and 24th June, and Mr. Sumner, after a sharp passage with I\lr. Conkling, who had called him " the full orb of the State Department," se cured William Hunter in his appointment of Se cond Assistant Secretary of State. A sum of $20,000 %vas appropriated for the bureau of educa cation, which had been struck out by the llou3e who fancied the industrious head of the department. Dr. Barnard was not working efficiently. The Eight Hours Bill, as framed by the Representa tives, was passed in the Senate by a vote of 2G to 11, the most idiotic measure ever adopted in an assembly like the Senate by so large a majority. Of course such men as Sumner and Fesseuden opposed it, working as they do on principle and unmoved as they are by clamour. Congress might as well legislate to fix .the price of bread and meat, as to control labour—yet this is the bill which at once receives the signature of the Presi dent. Discussing Senator Sherman's Bill for keeping the currency equally diffused, the Nation observes, " a supplementary bill should be passed, forbid ding the accumulation, under any circumstances, of more than a certain amount of currency in any one State. This will be the way to get the better of the greedy Wall-street men. We all know, too, the great inconvenience which is occassioned, both in domestic life and in agriculture, by the unwil lingness of water to run up-hill. Why not let us have a short bill, before Congress adjourns, de priving water of this disagreeable quality, and making it squirt and flow in all directions with equal facility? The saving of labour this would caue would be enormous." Mr. Schenck's new Tax Bill, confined to whisky and tobacco, was introduced oa the 20th June, and for some days occupied the House. It proposed to fix the whisky tax at GO cent;., but the Repre sentatives reduced it to 50. The object of many members was clearly to kill the measure by delay, a plan having been organised by the " whisky ring,'' who desired to continue the plunder and the enemies of the Chicago nominees, who hoped that their grand cause of complaint against the Re publican party (the corruption and frauds) might not be removed before the campaign. We are happy to say that the bill was passed by the Repre sentatives, and we trust will meet with no opposi tion either from the Senate or the President. Mr. Schencks pointed out the tactics by which the measure, the result of five manths hard labour, had been defeated, as unp •eeedented in Congressional annals. The Committee of Wapg and Means only obtained a hearing after a good deal of fillibustering. He considered that had the House worked at the old bill it would have got through the whisky and tobacco sections by the 22d June, and that nothing was gained in point of time by the new bill. The loss to the Revenue by throwing out the additions to the tax on banks and the doubling of that on sales by wholesale dealers will reduce the revenue below the expenditure. William Longbridge, of lowa, introduced a resolu tion to report a bill as early as possible for funding the Public Debt at a lower rate of interest, and, in spite of an effort by the New England and New York members to refer it to the Committee on Ways and Means, it passed. General Butler voted in favour of the resolution. Humboldt Register, May 16.—The Monte zuma furnaces are in full blast. Mr. Likely, the foreman, tells us that this season he will cord up a mountain of bullion for the cars to haul to market. There are 500 tons of ore on hand, while the mine, to all appearance, is inexhaustible. There are inany mines situated near the Humboldt river, and within a short distance of the line of the railroad, that will be worked by Mr. Nason's process of smelting. The Arizona mine continues to improve in the shaft being sunk from the main level. The shaft ie now down 60 feet, exposing a ledge at that depth of over three feet in thickness, of a very superior quality of ore. Governor Fall is now working a large force of hands on the mine and mill. Busi" ness is improving and times look hopeful. General Alfred T. Hartwell has been appointed to the bench of the Supreme Court in the Sandwich Islands. He graduated at Cambridge, Massachusetts, le 1838.
