We consider that the Ministry has acted wisely in meeting Mr. GLADSTONE'S resolutions with an amendment, and the general feeling of the House was evidently in its favour, as was proved by the reception it met with, for not only was the announcement of the noble lord received with b • loud and prolonged cheers " from the Ministerial side, but many members of the Opposition benches joined also in the testimony of approval. The noble lord intends to move the notice as an amendment upon the motion that the House do immediately resolve itself into a Committee. The terms in which it is drawn up are very effective, and seem to answer fully all the re quirements of the case, for they offer no vexatious resistance to the proposition of Mr. GLAD STONE, while they shelter the house from the ne cessity of compromising itself upon the weighty matter of the Irish Church. The words are well worthy of attentive consideration, and seems to us that Catholics and Protestants, Liberals and Con servatives, may alike agree in their reason and effi cacy. " That this House, while admitting that considerable modifications in the temporalities of the United Church in Ireland may, after the pend ing inquiry, appear to be expedient, is of opinion that any proposition tending to the dis-esta blishment or the disendowment of that Church ought to be reserved for the decision of the new Parliament." This is admirably drawn up, and we entertain no doubt that it will be adopted by the House, though a fierce encounter may take place previously, and many expedients may be re sorted to in order to defeat it. Before analysing this question, it may be as well to say that there are no grounds for the charge of inconsistency that is being prepared against the Government in some quarters. On no occasion whatever has Mr. DISRAELI, or any of his Cabinet, declared that the present system was perfect, and th a t th ere was no need for any alteration to take place in the Irish Church as it . now stands. On the contrary, it has been distinctly stated on several occasions that when the Commission now appointed to inquire into the matter shall have concluded its labours, it will be advisable to seek for what changes may be necessary and desirable. But there is nothing like making a broad assertion with some people, and ac cordingly the public are now informed that the Ministry has changed its tactics, and so on. There is nothing unwise, unfair, or unreasonable in the motion of which Lord STANLEY has given notice ; and, indeed, the Government were bound to make some assertion of the sort, not only in self-defence, but also as some in dication of their policy to their supporters, and it may be added the House in general. It is hardly going too far to say that a more un warrantable attempt was never made to disturb the progress of business during the last session of Par liament, and a more uncalled-for attempt made upon the policy of a Minister who has only just assumed the responsibilities of the Premiership, under circumstances of great difficulty and per plexity. All this must be taken into account when we dwell upon the subject, and we hope that the members of the House of C om mons, as well as of the public in general, will bear this in mind when the whirl and excitement of next week begins. Talking of change of opinion, who is a greater master of the art than " young Oxonian" himself ? The renowned champion of Oxford prejudices is now the glorified exponent of the views of extreme Radicals and ultra-Noncon formists ; hence we should advise his friends and followers to abstain from making inconsistency the groundwork of their attack upon Ministers. The change or conversion, or whatever be the title that it may bear, is of so recent a date that the grand opportunity is lost of alluding to the toils and exertions of those who have long laboured in the cause and borne the burden and heat of the day. It was past the eleventh hour when the leader of the Opposition and his immediate followers came to the rescue, and they must feel the awkwardness of their position accordingly. We do not see how the House can mistake its duty in this matter ; it lies plain anti straight before it, and we would espe cially point out to the extremists of both sides that in giving their vote for the adoption of Lord STANLEY'S amendment they are not committing themselves or compromising their actions in a new Parliament. It will be quite open to some to go one way and some another ; the op ponents of the Irish Church Establishment as it now exists can disagree to its maintenance at once, while others can on their side fight for its main tenance at all costs. There may be yet another party which can advocate its own particular views, and suggest the expediency of some alterations or improvements. The question that is now to be TICE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 28, 1868. settled is whether or not the decision is to be made now, or left to the judgment of a new Parliament ; and this course should ' be kept plainly in sight by all who are en gaged in the discussion of the matter. If this be done, we have no doubt as to the result they will arrive at, and that it will be one of satisfaction to the country and of credit to themselves. The present year is not a suitable time to witness the strife of faction, and by all means let the House distinguish between a great public question of grave importance and the vigorous desire of a party to make political capital out of the exigencies of the occasion. By this day week it is to be hoped that the doubts and speculations now so rife will be set at rest by the decisive majority which shall 'approve of the policy of Ministers, and again vindicate the character and do honour to the judgment of the House of Com mons. Last evening in the House of Commons Mr. HORSFALL put a question to Lord STANLEY respect ing a war which, though attracting a good deal of attention in the other hemisphere, has not been estimated at its due importance in this. the struggle between Brazil and Paraguay, however, belongs to that class of wars which most especially appeal to the sympathies of the British people. A brave and resolute little state is fighting staunchly for its national independence against an ambitious and aggressive neighbour of far greater strength. Month after month the struggle has gone on, while the news which has reached the outer world has been unreliable and uncertain. The Allies supply the only direct information which reaches Europe, the Paraguayans being by their position cut off from the outer world ; but from such intelli gence as has crept through other channels, we have heard of their unflinching courage, their unshaken devotion to their PRESIDENT, and their unanimous determination to submit to any hardship rather than yield to the domination of Brazil. Lord STANLEY, in his reply to Mr. HoRsFALL, called it " a useless and purposeless war ;" but there is no lack of a de finite purpose on the part of Brazil. It is the old story of Prussia and Denmark, Russia and Turkey, the story that has been repeated a hundred times in the records of history, ancient and modern, and in the time of lEsoP himself found a paraphrase in his fable of the Wolf and the Lamb. The Brazilian Empire, large as is its share of the South American Continent, is not large enough to please its rulers, and accordingly they have picked a quarrel with a small and inoffensive neighbour, probably not im agining that the Paraguayans would dream of so prolonged and resolute a resistance. The South American Republics, however, learned a valuable lesson in their War of Independence against Spain —a lesson which they have never forgotten. They learned what can be accomplished against overwhelm ing odds by the unanimous resolution of a people. Chili showed her knowledge of this truth a few years back when she gallantly resisted the force of Spain, and Paraguay has been no less bold in the front which she opposed to Brazilian aggression. Lord STANLEY says that the English Government have offered no mediation because none has been asked, and he did not think the offer of it would be accepted ; at the same time, if such a request was made, her MAJESTY'S Government would gladly exert themselves to bring about a reconciliation, either alone or in concert with any other power. This, of course, is consistent with diplomatic etiquette, and Lord STANLEY has treated the Brazilians very gently. We hope and believe, however, that no such mediation will be sought or needed, but that Paraguay will be able to maintain her ground and drive back the invaders discomfited. Already there is disunion in the camp of the Allies, and great disaffection in parts of the Argentine Confederation. Cholera, too, has been fighting the battles of Paraguay with deadly and merciless weapons. In the camp and in the neighbouring cities the deaths are numbered by the hundred, and the consequent panic has been great. The Allied fleet has found it impossible to force a passage past the forts of the Paraguayans, and the combined efforts of the naval and military commanders have failed to dislodge LOPEZ from his entrenchments. Under these circumstances it is very unlikely that the Paraguayan President will invoke the intercession of any European Power to patch up the quarrel, to recommend concessions on both sides, and leave the whole question to be re opened by Brazilian ambition on the first oppor tunity. The effort has been a desperate one on the part of the smaller State. The people have felt that their national existence was at stake, and they have made every sacrifice, have taxed every re source, and strained every nerve to make it. At another time they might be unable or unwilling to repeat the effort. Surely, then, it is better to per severe now when the tide of events is turning in their favour, and teach the Brazilians a lesson once for all that henceforward the little State may be left to flourish unmolested, and maintain its cherished independence. All sorts of politicians, and the public in general, will rejoice to find that Lord DERBY is so far re stored to health that he has been enabled to com municate with Lord DARTMOUTH in reply to a re solution forwarded to him expressive of the regret of the National Union of Conservative and Consti tutional Associations at his retirement, The noble earl's remarks are to the purpose, as they always are, and testify to the deep regret which he himself felt at being compelled to withdraw from the ser vice of his Sovereign, and to sever his official connection with a party which have honoured him with its confidence for so many - years. It is impossible not to sympathise with the noble lord in this sentiment, and those who have lately wit nessed his zeal and devotion to his party, and the ability with which he discharged the duties of his exalted station, will fully appreciate the trial it must have been to take leave of those with whom he was so long associated in the public service of the country. The letter concludes, however, with a more cheering intimation, for Lord DERBY declares that it was satisfactory to him to be so worthily succeeded ; and, to use his words, " to transfer the office which I have had the honour of holding to one whose co-operation and friendship I bad enjoyed for more than twenty years, and who I am persuaded will prove himself not unmindful of the great constitutional principles which it has been the study of my life to uphold, and to which, so far as my health will permit, I shall not cease to give my earnest though inefficient support." The mantle has indeed descended upon Mr. DISRAELI in troublous times, but we believe that he will prove fully equal to the emergency ; and it is a testimony alike honourable to himself and his suc cessor that Lord DERBY has just given. We hope that the country may yet enjoy for many years the advantages of the noble Earl's services whenever he can render them without detriment to his health, and freed from the overwhelming burden of place, and also the great responsibilities of a party leader, he may perhaps better preserve than he has done of late his health and strength, and be more free from the painful attacks to which he has been so unfortunately subject. it is gra tifying to find that he can again take an interest in public matters, and we feel assured that those who forgot the differences of political controversy in re gretting the circumstances that led to his retire ment, will now as truly rejoice at his comparative restoration to health, and trust with his friends that the improvement may become yet more effectual and remain as permanent as possible. We have unquestionably a very difficult task in the administration of India, and it is not surprising if we occasionally fail in giving satisfaction to our selves or the people. The House of Commons last night listened to a somewhat lengthened discussion, in which every one had some fault to find with the existing state of affairs, some suggestion to make, and some change to recommend. The subject was opened by Lord W. HAY, who called the attention of the House to the correspondence respecting the British and native systems of government. The noble lord contended that the real differ- ence was our rule was progressive and improv ing, while that of the natives was retrograde and incapable of improvement. We have but to look at the state of India before we set foot in it, or to compare the condition of States wholly under native control with our own dominions to, perceive the vital difference between the two systems. Lord W. HAT quoted a passage from an able French writer, who, after visiting India, expressed his wish that the English might extend their dominions from the Sutlej to the Indus. Nevertheless there are great failings in our manner of administration, and we suffer from one especial drawback. We have never succeeded in conciliating the affec tions of the people. Various expectations were given last night, but the true one seems to be the want of sympathy, the indifference with which native feeling and prejudices are treated, the harsh and careless manner in which regulations are ap plied. For instance, a new zeal for sanitary reform orders that the branches of all trees within 100 yards of a native village shall be shorn of their branches, while these trees are, many of them, ob jects of peculiar veneration. Again, the manner in which the finances are collected cannot be regarded by the people otherwise than op pressive. fhe salt tax, imposed on what is in India a necessity of life, presses heavily on the poorer classes, and other taxes are collected with equal disregard of the popular wants. Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE, in an able and temperate speech, took a fair view of the case ; and we are glad to find that an Indian debate no longer empties the benches. We want more interest felt in India and the Indians, at home as well as in Asia ; and until we get it we shall never see our rule firmly established or our presence effecting the good and conferring the blessings which it ought to do. LATEST INTELL LGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, March 28. Despatches received here state that a riot com menced yesterday morning at the villages of Far ciennes and Lambussart, and extended to Tamines.

(FROM OUR OWN C 0 RRE SP OND E NT. ) PARIS, FRIDAY, March 27. When Prince Napoleon was at Weimar he had an intervtew with the Prime Minister of the Grand Duke, Herr on Watzlorff, and the two diplomatists discussed together the affairs of Germany. The Minister expressed his apprehensions that France would interpose sooner or later with an armed force, in order to restore the Ex-King of Hanover. The Prince scouted such an idea utterly. He said, " How can anyone possibly believe that my cousin would offer himself as the protector of a pre tended legitimacy ; above all, in favour of the King of Hanover, who has always looked upon us Napo leons with contempt scarcely concealed, and who did his utmost in 1859 to make Germany declare declare war against France in behalf of Austria, a war which was pre vented only by the wise moderation of Prussia ? Wo French are not disposed to sacrifice our soldiers, except when the honour or the interest of France can gain some thing by it ; certainly not in order to replace upon their thrones Princes who are perfectly indifferent to us, and who have, moreover, merited their fate." The Puce went on to say that France could not possibly have any interest in restoring King George, and that all the rumours to the contrary were merely got up by his agents at Paris, who were spending thousands of francs without the least chance of return. The ukase just published by the Czar blotting out Poland from the map of Europe is causing some sensation here. The measure has been taken at the very moment when there were rumours of a fresh manifestation on be half of Poland by France, Austria, and Prussia, and would seem like a direct defiance of them. It remains to be seen if Napoleon will allow this arbitrary decree to gek forth without at least a protest. More than than that is not to be expected in these days. A very important decision has just been given by tI.N. Court of Appeal with regard to the pry.. As your readel s are aware, it was under the old law forbidden to publish a newspaper without previous authorisation by the Government. The proprietors of a journal called Satan omitted to obtain the necessary authorisation, and they were prosecuted and condemned for having issued their paper four days ; each distinct issue was treated as a separate offence, and an accumulated punishment was inflicted. The proprietors appealed, but the fourfold penalty was confirmed. The chief editor of the Cottrrier Francais, who is now in prison for a press offence, has addressed a very strong letter of remonstrance to the Government officials. It appears that they have not only suppressed him, but also his journal, so far as the street sale is concerned ; and they will not allow the new editors to hold any consultation with him as . re gards the winding up of the affairs of the journal, and settling with the creditors. In spite of all the perils and hardships to which Opposition journalists are exposed, a new Democratic paper is about to be started at Rennes, where, it will be remembered, the " anarchical placards" Were issued a few days ago. The Princess Metternich, who, after the Empress, is the queen of fashion, gave last night her last soiree for the season, the remaining weeks of Lent being strictly observed at the Austrian Embassy. The Princess was attired com pletely in white satin, without any ornaments. Twelve hundred guests endeavoured, but in vain, to circulate through the rooms of the embassy. They included the most distinguished men of all parties. Imperialists like Baron Jerome David, Orleanists like M. Berryer, ➢linis ters like M. Duruy, great capitalists like the Rothschilds and diplomatists like Lord Lyons. Adelina Patti is an immense favourite here, both for her musical powers and for her personal qualities. A few days ago one of our great ladies gave a special representa tion of the " Trovatore " at the Theatre Italien on behalf of the schools of St. Joseph, established for poor children. Patti took the part of Leonora, and was presented with her usual douceur of £l2O. She refused to take it, and when the money was forced upon her she put down her name as a subscriber to the schools for the same amount. The Paris papers are taking very great interest iu the forthcoming debate in your Parliament with regard MP tho Irish Church. The Etem/«rd, a Liberal Rotuan ciattolic ?aper, after giving the address presented by the vonstitu tional Association against the disestablishment of the Irish Church, inasmuch as it will tend to the great dis couragement of the Protestant religion in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, says sarcastically : "And Pro testantism pretends to be only a liberal reaction against the intolerance of the Roman Church." This, of course, is legitimate comment on the tart of a journalist support ing a sovereign who recognises and endows all religionF. In fact, for once the Paris journals are all agreed. The Ultra ontane tapers of course desire the down fall of the Irish Protestant Church, because it 1J Protestant ; the moderate Roman Catholc papers desire it because the maintenance of an exclusive Church is opposed to the French system of endowing all ; the free- thinking papers because they detest all religious establish ments. Six-and-thirty years ago the Czar Nicholas decreed thal.; the kingdom of Poland should form an integ, al part cf the Russian Empire, and the upholders of European del)otisms cried " Finis Polon:Le !" Since then the doomed State has from time to time shown signs of life more or less vigorous. Eta each manifestation has only prepared the way fur that sad end which has now befallen the unhappy country. An Imperial ukase has just been issued suppressing the central. administrative institutions of Poland, and assimilating them to those of Russia. Pre viously to this the teaching of the Polish language had been forbidden, and the profession of the Polish (the Roman Catholic) religion put under intolerable restraints. The very name of Poland is now blotted out, and the old kingdom is to be called the Vistuline Province. It is the most melancholy instance in modern times of might ruthlessly prevailing over- right. Twenty years ago, when Austria, Russia, and Prussia revoked the treaty of 1815, which constituted Cracow a free republic, England, France, Sweden, and Turkey protested. The protest was, of course, useless so far as any advantage to Poland was concerned, but it left on record a condemnation on the part of four Powers of a most shameful and flagitious outrage upon the morals of Europe. This time, we prestur e, there will not be even a single despatch upon the subjec' , for, says every State, "Am I my brother's keeper ?" Letters from Florence say that at the rme of writing there was great uncertainty as to whether the Macinato (corn -grinding) would pass. It is true that the pro- posal was first made by the Opposition, and that it was taken up by their successors, the present Ministers. But for all that, Rattazzi and his party are most unpatriotically throwing every obstacle in the way of the Government. Should they succeed in defeating their own measure it is difficult to see how Italy can be saved from at least a financial collapse. The position of that country, especially the factious conduct of her statesmen, is one of the most lamentable disappointments that ever befel the lovers of constitutional government. It would seem that Italy and Prussia are on good terms. The - Crown Prince of Prussia is going to be present at the wedding of the Crown Prince of Italy. The Paris correspondent of the Daily Telegraph hears ,hat the French army of occupation in the Papal States is to be reduced to 4,000 men, who are to occupy Civita Vecchia. The torchlight procession which accompanied the re mains of Manin to their new resting-place in St. Mark's, at Venice, was a most gorgeous spectacle. At seven o'clock, just as darkness had set in, the ceremony began. The coffin was borne by sailors of the Italian fleet, and being carried up the steps was deposited in the centre of the galley. Pour captains with drawn swords stood at each corner of the catafalque, while soldiers of the National Guard stationed on the lower steps presented arms. The funeral galley then went majestically forward, • being propelled by sixty rowers. Notwithstanding the sounds of solemn music the general appearance was that of a fairy scene elaborately got up on the tranquil lake. Three or four hundred gondolas, radiant with various -coloured lights, accompanied the new Bucentaur, and when the squadron entered the Rialto and then the Grand Canal, the brilliant illumination of the palace, mingling with the reflection on the waters occasioned by the numerous gondolas, presented a spectacle which it is impossible to describe. Along the quays, the bridges, the promenades, and at the windows of the palaces, were immense crowds of observers. At the festooned balconies were groups of women, who appeared to have started from the canvas of Paul Veronese. The crowning display took place in the Piazza, the noblest square in the world. As the coffin appeared a great roar of applause went up from the vast multitude—strange concomitant to a funeral pro cession. The body was finally deposited in a porphyry sarcophagus, supported by two lions, stationed hi the portico of St. Mark's. Prussia has received a severe check in the elections which took place last week for the German Customs Par liament. The Wiirtemberg electors have by large ma jorities defeated most of the candidates in favour of the union of that country with Prussia. It should be under stood that the reason of this opposition is that Wurtemberg is extremely liberal ; is in fact the most democratic of all the German States, and does not relish submitting itself to the will of Bismarck. The disturbances at Montigney-sur-Sambre have been most alarming, There was a desperate fight between the people and the military, and no fewer than ' ten persons were killed. Cavalry and infantry were despatched in large numbers from Brussels and other towns. It is stat,:d that the disturbances had not a political origin. Our usual Belgian papers have failed to arrive, so that we Are withcall particulars as to OP cause of the riot, LORD DERBY UPON HIS RETIREMENT, Vipoount Nevin has forwarded to the papers tor publi cation the following letter, which has been addressd by Lord Derby to the Earl of Dartmouth in reference to . a resolution passed by the National Union of Conservative and Constitutional Associations expressive of regret at lis retirement from public life : " St. James's-square, March 27, 1668. "My Lord, I have to acknowledge with the liveliest gratitude the address which your lordship has done me the honour of transmitting to me on behalf of the National Union and the numerous Constitutional Associations whose names are annexed, kindly expressing their regret at my retirement from office, and their hope that I should still be enabled to take a part in the political business of the county "It was not without a pang, an only under a convicuoi of the absolute necessity of the step, that I found myself compelled to ask permission to withdraw from the service of a sovereign to whose gracious favour I am so deeply indebted, and to sever my official connection with a party which for so many years has honoured me with its confidence, and for many members of which I entertain a personal as well as political regard. It was, however, very satisfactory to me to be empowered to transfer the office which I had had the honour of holding to one whose co-operation and friendship I had enjoyed for more than twenty yea's, and who, I am persuaded, will prove him self not unmindful of those great constitutional principles which it has been the study of my life to uphold, and to which, so far as my health will permit, I shall not cease to give my earnest, though unofficial support.—l have the honour to be, my lord, your obliged and faithful servant, (Signed' • • "DEBBY.

TIIE SECRETARY OF A FORESTER'S LODGE CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT.--Robert Thomas, secretary of Court 1715 of the Ancient Order of Foresters, held at the house of Mr. Rowlands, the York Mins ter, Wardour-street, Soho, was brought before Mr. Knox on a warrant, by Sergeant Charles Cole, of the C division, charged with embezzling the sum of £1 ls., the moneys of the trustees of the lodge. Mr. William Rowlands, of the York Minster, 50 Wardour-street, Soho, said that Court 1715 of the Ancient Order of Foresters was held at his house, and he was the treasurer. The prisoner was ap pointed the secretary three months ago, having for merly been sub-secretary. On the death of the late secretary a grant was made from the funds for the purpose of defraying the expense of the funeral, and Dr. Sanders gave a guinea towards the object, which the prisoner had failed to acknowledge, and he (Mr. Rowland) had never received the same. It was the prisoner's duty to account to him for all moneys he received. Dr. Sanders, of South Molton-street, proved pay ing the prisoner a guinea, and taking his receipt for the same. I he prisoner was remanded. THAMES. A VIRAGO.—DREADFUL ASSAULT ON A HUS BAND.—Ann Allan, a dissipated woman, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting her husband, a strong, hard-working fellow, with a wound over his left eye, which was terribly in flamed and swollen. The parties have been married several years, and their life has been anything but one of Elysian har mony and comfort. The wife was addicted to strong drinks, and her husband, insteadpf finding a cheerful hearth and a sober wife at the termination of his day's labour, had often found her helplessly intoxi cated. His earnings for the last week—the whole of which, like a good husband and father, he had brought home for the support of his wife and family —were as follows :—On Saturday, 7s. ; Monday, Gs. ; Tuesday, ss. ; Thursday, Gs. ; Friday, 4s. Last night he requested his wife to fetch a pot of beer to drink with their supper. She was gone a long time, and he went out in search of her. He found her in a beer shop with most disreputable company and brought her home. He remonstrated with her, and she abused him in a furious manner, and took a kettle from the hob, with which she struck her hus band a tremendous blow on the forehead. lie fell insensible on the floor, a severe wound was inflicted, and bled copiously. There was a surgical plaister on his forehead, and he was in a weakly condition from loss of blood. The prisoner made no defence, and Mr. Paget sentenced her to be imprisoned for two months in the Westminster House of Correction, and kept to hard labour.

The Dublin correspondent of the Times writes :—" The interest excited by the approaching visit of the Prince of Wales is shewn in the jealous anxiety with which all the details of the arrangements for the reception of his Royal Highness are watched by the public. The procession through the streets is the chief subject of concern. We are a people given to processions, as events too often prove, and if a procession of one party be at tractive, what must one be in which all parties are engaged and all colours displayed ? An idea pre vails, and it is natural enough, that the knights will walk to the cathedral as they did upon the )ccasion of King George IV.'s visit. That would, indeed, be a spectacle worth seeing, for various reasons. The • thought of it revives the recollection of the traditional glories of a bygone period, when the battleaxe and °the:- symbols of heraldic peasantry were held in more visible respect than in these degenerate days. But, unfortu nately for intending spectators, the warning of that occa sion is more likely to be observed than the precedent. The weather exhibited at that remote period memorable proofs of the changeableness of all Irish institutions ; but the impression which they left was ineffaceably fixed. It Is probable that, remembering the plight in which the founder knights' in 1861. arrived at the Cathe dral, the present members of the illustrious order will prefer comfort to ch i valry, and proceed in carriages. A. hint of this must not be dropped, lest it should disappoint he citizens, who good-naturedly propose to strew the way with carpets —some generously insisting that it must be done, regardless of expense, out of the Consolidated Fund, while others recommend a system of voluntary contributions of carpets from each house, which would, no doubt, secure a beautiful variety of pattern and style. The extent and direction of the route are also matters hf keen controversy. Leading streets compete for the honour of the procession as jealously as rival suitors for a fair dame's hand. George-street, which was first spoken of, has been totally discarded, and is more gloomy than usual. Dawson-street claims to be more prepossessing than Grafton-street, and to have more respectable connec tions. Grafton-street repels the insinuation of being too narrow in its views, dresses stylishly, and boasts of greater wealth and social importance. The west side of Aleirion square cannot believe that anything so uncharitable can be seriously contemplated as that the Prince should pass by the other side. Solicitude is expressed for the conve nience of his Royal Highness in bringing him by such a circuitous course, and this loyal feeling is heartily shared in by other streets which would come within the range of a shorter route. The citizens have not abandoned the hope of seeing the Princess of Wales, though some dis couraging statements have been made respecting the ability of her Royal Highness to endure the fatigue if a journey to Ireland. It is gratifying to observe that the interest felt with respect to the Prince's visit ;s not confined to this metropolis. The loyal people of Belfast are anxious to enjoy a similar honour, and a meet ing of the corporation was held on Wednesday for the purpose of inviting him to go and see the industrious and thriving capital of Ulster. Should their hospitable desire be gratified, his Royal Highness will meet with an enthu siastic welcome. A deeper significance is attached to Lis visit than if it were one of mere ceremony or personal favour." GOLD DISCOVERY IN SOUTH AFRICA. Ile t r Mauch, the German traveller, has arrived in .Nat tl. lie asserts that goldfields, believed by him to be richer than thrse of Calif. r iia or Australia, exist in the interior. According to his statements, the locality of this auriferous region is precisely identical with the descrip tion given by Dr. Livingstone in his first book of travels, and the present discovery may be regarded as being the confirmation of rumours and the justification of convictions that have prevailed from the earliest times. Mr. Mauch tells us that he has seen two goldfields—the northern one being of indefinite extent, and lying much nearer the Zambesi than the other. This latter one is situated about 000 miles from Natal in a north-westerly direction, beyond and to the west of the limits of the Transvaal Republic. It is in the country formerly ruled by Sekhomo, a runaway chieftain, whose place is now filled by Machin, under the suzerainty of Moselekatse. As the former chief can muster 10,000 warriors, and the latter 40,000, it is evi dent that the chief obstacle in the way of any gold working movement rests in them. The country itself is tolerably healthy and well watered. The geological character of the district is represented by metamorphic rocks, with slate, and the other usual indications of auri ferous wealth. Vegetation is not luxuriant. In the im mediate neighbourhood of the goldfield, which Mr. Mauch estimates to cover a tract of twenty miles broad and sixty miles long, there are not many natives. When the explorer saw the white reefs of auriferous quartz glistening in the sun, as they cropped out here and here, he was startled by the conception of the wealth which he firmly believes those reefs to contain. Thousands of holes, some ten feet deep, give evidence of old native workings, and bear out Dr. Livingstone's remark about the gold washings carried on in wooden bowls by the ICaffirs in times past. Mr. Mauch brings with him about twenty specimens. Those that are auriferous consist of pale quartz, containing minute particles of pure gold. Several of them are of iron and lead ores, and some of them come from the Transvaal Republic. It is difficult as yet to say what the upshot of these disclosures will be. Mr. Mauch explored the country in question in company with Mr. Hartley, an old and well-known elephant hunter, and, in justice to that gentleman's exertions and services, he considers that he is hound to require some recompense in his behalf. Mr. Mauch himself has no interest in the discovery, he says, beyond the scientific distinction it may bring him. He is accredited and commissioned by the Geographical Society of Gotha to do a certain work, namely, to traverse Africa westward of the lakes from Natal to the Mediterranean, and to the accomplish ment of that grand purpose he has devoted his life for the next few years. It remains to be seen whether the exact situation of the goldfields will become generally known by means of the information accorded on payment of the required reward, or by means of further private adventures. Our impression is that, as the locality of the gcldfield is known already to one or two Englishmen resident in the Transvaal Republic, the discovery will be developed in the first instance by means of private expedi dions. It cannot be denied that considerable risk will attend such movements, but the prize to be won offers an overpowering inducement to the adventurous spirits abounding amid the wild scenes of the interior.—Natal Mercury.

GLADSTONE'S RESOLUTIONS.—The execu tive committee of the Liberation Society have published resolutions, in which they express satisfaction at the rapid growth of opinion in favour of the disestablishment of the Irish Church, and in condemnation of all schemes for the extension of State endowments in Ireland. They rejoice at the determination of Mr. Gladstone to give an oppor tunity for the expression of that opinion in Parliament, and urge the friends of religious equality to afford him energetic support, by acquainting their representatives with their emphatic approval of his resolutions ; and also to prepare for electoral action to secure the complete suc cess of the policy initiated by the resolutions.
