,71.1? NORTHCOTE ZT BOUTHMOLTON, Sir Si:4,ffer3. thcots, *aim:Ling the electors of the Smthmelter. list- et on Saturday, enlarged upon 33veral points scarcely tcached upon at Barnstaple on :iday. It has been statzd, and made the subject of a great deal of hostile comment by the Liberal newspapers of the county, that when Sir Stafford went down to North Devon in March 1867, for re-election on the occasion of his accepting the appointment of Secre tary of State for India,he distinctly declared that he would not vote for household suffrage, and that within a few weeks he supported the household suffrage clause of the Reform Bill. Referring to this matter, Sir Stafford spoke on Saturday as follows :—" Since I was first honoured by being returned as your representative I have had occasion twice to seek re-electioif at yOur hands—once when the Present Government was formed, and I accepted the office of President of the Board of Trade ; and in the second time, in the spring of last year, when certain changes took place in the Cabinet of Lord Derby, and I accepted the post of Minister for India, and came to you again for re-election, (A Voice : 'And promised not to go in for household suffrage.') I made no promise of the sort. At the time when I was re-elected I made a statement of the o L iinions I held on the question of Reform ; that statement was accepted by you, and I was returned to Parliament. I am told that my votes since have not been in accordance with that statement. I should like to know in what respect. These objections are made, curiously enough, not by the Conservative party, who did me the honour to request me to offer myself as a representative of this constituency, but they are made by my opponents, the Liberals ; and I can only say that if those gentlemen who so requested me to come forward, and who did me the honour to elect and re-elect me, are dissatisfied with my conduct, either on the Reform Bill or upon any other matter, I hope they will have the goodness to make that statement to me, and I will promise that if the majority, or any considerable portion of those upon whose requisition I came forward, will now tell me they are dissatisfied with my conduct, I will say, ' Gentlemen, reaign J:oy trust into ycur hands.' But, on the-contrary, far from having any evidence of that sort, I find, not only that my Con servative friends are still desirous of supporting me, but that they are anxious to bring forward a dolleague of the same opinion as myself—a gentleman who has pursued the same course of conduct in political matters as I have pursued." Sir S. Northcote then gave a history of the Reform Bills of 1866 and 1867, and then addressed himself to the subject of local burdens. He said : " Everybody must have noticed a tendency to throw burdens more and more upon the rates. Measures have been introduced for effecting social improvements ; they have been discussed in Parlia• meat and found to be not altogether unacceptable to the constituencies, especially it has been found that the diffi culty has arisen as to the mode in which the expenses were to be met, and those measures have fallen back into the form, of an Act of Parliament, which I think you will do well to guard against—l mean an Act of Parliament w hich shall be `optional.' They are measures to carry cut improvements, the burden of which will fall upon the local rates, and they are said to be optional. Optional ith whom ? Optional with the ratepayers? No, because the ratepayers have not the control of the expenditure of the rates. No, they are optional with the magistrates of the county. I think you will find there is very great danger in that description of legislation, because your representatives in Parliament who oppose those measures are silenced by those who advocate them saying, ' This is only an optional or voluntary measure ; and they are only voluntary as far as the magistrates are concerned, who are not responsible to the ratepayers. The magistrates say, and say perhaps quite rightly, ' These are measures which are very much needed,' and they claim the authority of an Act of Parliament for introducing them into their respective districts." Sir Stafford next declared himself in favour of county financial boards, and enlarged upon the great and alarming increase of local burdens. Upon the whole, he believed our present system of national educa tion was a sound system, but a great deal more was necessary to be done to develope and extend that system. The bill introduced by the Duke of Marlborough laid the foundation of that which he believed ought to be done, but it might::be -pessible►` - to introduce some improvements in that measure. He was not pre pared to advocate, and did not. consider it necessary to advocate, anything in the nature of a system of compulsory education, although more ought to be done to encourage the spread of education among the people. He was also opposed to the principle of laying the education upon the rates of the country; but they must recollect that upon such matters one could not lay down a strict principle and say nothing should be taken out of the rates, and every thing should come from the public purse or from voluntary contributions. These were matters that must be fairly considered and dealt with comprehensively, but he had seen a tendency to throw everything upon the rates which he thought required to be jealously watched. 3IONSIGNORE TALBOT'S REPLY TO THE ESGLLSII PRESS. In the Roman Catholic Chapel, Spanish-place, on Sun• day, Monsignore Talbot, while addressing the congre gation, took the liberty to say that he had been attacked by the public press because he had recently declared in another place that the predominant idea in Rome was religion. Though he had been attacked he had not been convinced by the arguments or the logic of his reprovers, and was prepared to reiterate all he had said in favour of the morality of Rome. Venice was remarkable for her wealth, Bologna for her university, Milan for the splendour of her palaces, but Rome was renowned throughout the world for her piety. The mariner, when sailing by that plain called the Campagna, sees only one speck rising up before him ; that speck is the dome of St. Peter's, beneath which are deposited the ashes of the fishermen of Galilee. Pilgrims—devout, Christian pilgrims—from every nation of the earth, when they behold from the mountains overlooking Rome the dome of St. Peter's, kneel down and venerate at a distance the temple rising over the tombs of so many saints and martyrs. That temple is built upon the site of the Circus of Nero. The Coliseum and Pantheon have been converted into Christian sanctuaries ; religious asylums and schools have been founded upon the sites of Pagan temples; as "if the Popes were anxious to make 'reparation for the crimes committed in those places ; the.Tarpeian Rock itself has been changed into an hospital. When Constantine pro- claimed that all his subjects were free to follow their reli gious belief, he removed from Rome. Rome, he said, was the city of the successor of St. Peter, and out of respect for the Vicar of Christ he removed his seat of empire to Con stantinople. Alaric approached the Eternal City with awe and reverence, and when he entered it he gave orders to his soldiers to respect the sacred places. But what had she done for Christianity? How many nations are indebted to her for their knowledge of the Christian faith? The Pope . sent St. Boniface to Christianirie Germany; he also sent St. Patrick to Christianise tl'ie pagan Irish ; and he sent Augustine and his twelve 'monks to carry the message of truth to the shores of Ent)and. Pilgrims from all parts of the world visit her to pw.ticipate in her devotions, to pray at the shrine of Peter, tr, see those places consecrated by tin blood and hallowed 'by the footsteps of saints and martyrs without number. B ome is hallowed ground. The very atmo• sphere is religious. The people give up whole days in order to celebrate the Iv oly mysteries of their religion. Still he was censured by tb.e press of this country because he said Rome was a n'Loral city. He had lived there for eighteen years, had every opportunity of judging of the state of morality, aad he had no hesitation in saying that it was the most moral city on the face of the earth. An ex• President. of the United States paid a visit to Rome. When. he had been there a few months he (Monsignore Talbot) called upon him, and asked his opinion of the Eternal City. He replied, " I have now been here several months, and have never seen a single case of drunkenness or anything else to offend my eyes." THE DEAN OF ST. PAUL'S.—On Sunday prayers were offered up fc r the Dean of St. Paul's, at the cathe dral. Dr. Milm an was seized with an attack of paralysis some few days since, and great anxiety is felt as to his condition by - his family. DISCOV7ZRY OF A LEAD MrNE.—The other day, whilst sr,me men were employed on a farm in Thornley, near P"..eston, recently purchaled by the Earl of Derby, they came upon a vein of lead. The quality of the lead is superior, and the mine will be a good one. The name of •Alboni, although she is in Paris at present, does not appear in the published list of per. formers for the Italian Opera. There are three new female singers, all yo u ; ; ;. Millie. Minnie 'Hauck is an American, Madal,:e d Murska comes from the Imperial Tbei•tre, Vienna, and has sung for two seasons with success at lies Majesty's, in London. -Mlle. Ricci is an Italian, daughter and neice of tl;e brothers of the same name ; authors of " Crispin() e la Comore." Tamberlik, ~ti he will alternate with Fraschini, ha 4 arrived in Paris, with his family from his country house at La ,Parrella, in the Appenines, near Pistoja. The Earl of Dunraven and Dr. Stokes, of Dublin, have visited Dingle in the course of their antiquarian ex. cursion through Kerry. They have with them a lahographe: and a sketcher. In the course of his visit Lord .Dunravet was afforded a specimen of the way the precious antiqui ties of the ccuntry are being swept away. He fourvl to hi astonishment that Kilmurry Church, or rather oratory, had disappeared. A farmer on whose lands the rains ha': been situated explained to his lordship that abtlit ter years ago a proprietor had thrown it clow4 to empl( tb )ns4csriaLs is building his ONVI; boose, THE MtIRPHY- 'den or Moen thousand people are reported . to have esisted at Murphy's lecture at Manchester on Saturdiy, A large number of police in plain clothes were present, but none in uniform. The speaking did not corn. aience until five o'clock, and for an hour previous the :rowd amused themselves by throwing all kinds of rubbish at each other. Here and there a stone was thrown, but the greatest good humour prevailed. On :Murphy's arrival great excitement took place, and so great was the crowd that it was found impossible to drive the waggon, which was to be used as a platform, into the open mace. It was, therefore, driven down a back street to the autskirt of the crowd, and was immediately surrounded by the friends of Murphy, who cheered lustily as he drove up, standing on the front of the waggon. There were about fifty Dr sixty Irish persons—men and women—in the crowd, and during the early part of the proceedings they manifested a great desire to interrupt the meeting, hooting and bowling, and openly vowing vengeance on Murphy. Mr. George Cruse was called upon to take the chair, and im mediately upon his commencing to address the meeting. the Irish made a rush towards the platform. The remarks of the chairman were in consequence cut very short, and after a hand-to-hand fight in the crowd which lasted for tome minutes was brought to a close. A row ensued, stones being freely thrown about. One Irishman, who was said to have a dangerous weapon with him, was very roughly dealt with. Great interruption ensued in consequence of a number of Irishwomen making a raid on Murphy and his sup porters. A general row afterwards ensued, and the Irish were finally driven off the field. The greatest excitement was caused in the neighbourhood, and most of the houses and shops closed their shutters. Several arrests are stated to have been made, and three or four persons injured. LAW AND POLICE. lirroitTANT FIS HERY . CASE... 7 A case of great importance to fishermen - in 'tidal. parts of. navigable rivers has been before the county magistrates at Carlisle. David Linton, fishes man, of Longbuigh, was prosecuted for fishing with a " haafnet," or " half-net," in . a tidal part of the River Eden. The action was brought by the lessees of Lord Loris dale's Eden fisheries, and the point at issue was whether the half-net was a fixed engine or not within the meaning of the Salmon Fisheries Acts. Conflicting evidence having been adduced at previous courts, the net itself was on Saturday brought into court, in order to assist the magis trates in making their decision, but the justices were unable to agree, and they recommended the Fishery Com missioners to hold a special court for the purpose of deciding the matter. HEAVY FINES ON BETTING MEN.—At the Canterbury magistrates' sitting several persons were summoned for erecting betting stands on Barham Downs during the late Canterbury Races. rl he solicitor for the defendants pleaded guilty to the charge, to which he said he could make no answer in point of law. However, he wished to bring under the notice of the bench the fact of his clients' having hired the ground they occupied of the Race Com mittee ; and, under the circumstances, he observed that he thought they were entitled to a mitigation of the penalty. The magistrates held that the fact mentioned by defendants' solicitor was no defence, and said that they should be sorry to find " that the Race Committee encouraged so flagrant a breach of the law." They imposed a fine of £2s—one fourth of the full penalty— which was immediately paid by those of the defendants present. THE ARBROATH MURDER.—At the Sheriff's Court, Dundee, Cargill, the seaman who is charged with the murder of a child at Arbroath, was again brought up. With regard to the motive leading to the perpetration of this horrible deed, there does not appear to be any what ever. To all appearances the act was simply a mad out burst of ungovernable passion, which wreaked itself upon the first object that came near. Whether or not Cargill is insane is a different matter. His conduct during the last fortnight has been peculiar. He was skipper and part owner of a herring-boat, but the other owners being afraid to go to sea with him, they agreed with the prisoner to sell the boat, and it was sold accordingly. He is said not to have been right since then. It is stated that he had been drinking. Last Mon day evening Cargill got up and rang the church bell at Auchmithie with the view of assembling the parishioners to church, and this act is supposed to indicate that the man was not in his senses. He has been at sea since then, and it is said that he cut away the drift of nets, and told his comrades to jump into the sea after them. The accused was again remanded. THE ALLEGED MURDER, AT FOREST GATE.—At the Ilford Police-court, Daniel Stobie, a painter, was charged with causing the death of Henry Hurley, a young man twenty-four years of age. From the evidence there was no doubt that the deceased had come by his death through the brutal ill-treatment of some half-dozen men, who, on the night of the 21tb August, set upon him on the high road near Forest-gate, and knocked him down without provocation, and kicked him unmercifully. Several wit nesses deposed that the prisoner was his principal assailant, but two witnesses gave evidence which went to prove that the case was one of mistaken identity. Before the con clusion of the evidence the proceedings were adjourned. The name of Mr. Henry Fawcett, M.P., is given as the President in the department of Economy and Trade at the forthcoming Social Science Congress. The notorious Sir John Dean Paul, who was sen tenced to transportation for 14 years, with his two partuers, Strahan and Bates, is dead. The University of Virginia at Charlottesville has been partially consumed by fire. It was established by Thomas Jefferson. PROBABLE VISIT OF THE PRINCE OF WALES TO AnticA.—lt is stated that the Prince of Wales contem plates a visit to the African continent, and that, should his Royal Highness carry out his intention, he will most likely visit Egypt and the cataracts of the Nile. Messrs. Cockson and Chetwynd, earthenware manufacturers, have been fined £5 at the Penton Police court for copying the design of a jug, which has been intro duced with great success in America by a Mr. Edwards. ' A public t4tinfonial Ilds been presented to - Mr. Vial, at Sydney, for his courageous conduct in arresting the hand of O'Farrell when attempting the life of the Duke of Edinburgh . , at Clontarf. The individual who so successfully practised on the credulity of the public at Lowestoft and Yarmouth has got clear with his booty for the present. We understand, however, that Inspector Berry has obtained a clue to his whereabouts that may speedily lead to his apprehension. — Cambridge Independent. Two persons living near Selby have been poisoned by eating an apple dumpling, the crust of which had been made of old suet. A servant who also ate soma of the pud ding was made violently ill, but she has recovered. The verdict at the inquest was, "that death was caused by ex haustion following the poisoning of the blood by the eating of some decayed animal matter acting on an enfeebled con stitution." A BOY'S HEAD BLOWN OFF. —A terrible casualty occurred at Instow, North Devon, on Friday evening. A little boy, son of a fisherman called Fisher leigh, was in the habit of taking the mail bags across the river, from Appledore, to meet the mail train at Instow. He came across in a boat with two gentlemen. One of them had a gun at the bottom of the boat. On getting out at Instow the gentleman took up the gun, which exploded. The boy was close by, and his head came cleanly off the body. CAPTURE OF AN ALBACORE AT DAWLISH.—On Friday morning, while engaged in catching pilchards on the Dawlish beach, the fishermen discovered an immense fish, which they with some difficulty succeeded in killing with sticks. The fish was estimated to weigh 5001 b., and to measure about ten feet in length, the distance between the extremities of the forked tail being three feet. Two experienced nautical men present stated it to be the Albacore. The capture of this tropical fish on the west coast is quite unprecedented. The fishermen have notified the capture to Mr. Frank Buckland. EDUCATION OF POLISH YOUTHS.—The Warsaw Journal of the sth inst. publishes an order issued by the rector of the High School of that city, enumerating the conditions to lye fulfilled by the Polish youth desirous to attend the lectures in that institution during the scholastic year 1868.69. Among these stipulations one is specially remarkable. Every student wishing to be admitted must be furnished with a certificate from the competent police authorities, testifying that he had taken no part in the insurrection of 18i.;3 ; and the young men belonging to the former Polish provinces of the empire will have to produce a document from the governor of his district, stating Mat no obstacles oppose his admission to the High School. SHOES FOR DOGS.—We call attention to the advisability of protecting the feet of sporting dogs against the injuries caused by short stiff stubble. We have had some experience in using dog sleighs in North America, and have frequently found it an absolute necessity to place leather mocassins upon the sleigh dogs' feet when the "crust " upon the snow has been rough and sharp. If, through negligence, this precaution were omitted, the d ,gs would not travel two hours without becoming severely, 1- not hopelessly lamed. We see no good reason wby a similni system might • not be adopted with reference to sporting dogs, now that the corn is cut so close as to make the stubble fcarfu ly destructive to the dogs' feet. Perhar s Ane of cur correspondents w'il g '..e us their opinions upon "d !vs? W r. R011,41V AFFAII?S. (From the Clrrespondent of the Westminster Gazette.) ROME, Sept. 4. The efforts of the Revolutionary party are divided between two courses of action. The first to procure the withdrawal of the French troops from Italy, and the second to get ready for another attempt at surreptitious invasion. In regard to the first, it is now avowed that Menabrea left no argument un tried to induce the Emperor to authorize him in announcing to the Florence Parliament, be fore the session broke up, that the army of ob servation would be recalled to France ; but, of course, without effect. The papers continue to agitate the question nevertheless, some trying to argue into a grievance a measure necessitated solely by the bad faith of their own Government, while others, adopting the policy of asserting the wish which is father to the thought, content themselves with an nouncing that the French are shortly to be removed. Meantime news from Civita Vecchia leads to the directly opposite conclusion. The language of General Dumont at the banquet of the 15th of August, and the administration of affairs on the spot, point equally to a continued occupation. New stables are being built, fresh tenements for the occupation of the troops hired, and a continuous supply of stores and munitions continues to be received. The second affords scope for a variety of congenial intrigues. The key to them all is given in Mazzini's last published " letter," which may be analyzed thus :-1. The acquisition of Rome is the goal of every present endeavour. 2. The mistakes of last year's campaign must be avoided this time. 3. Consequently greater care. must be taken to conceal the mode of procedure. That the attempt came from without was too apparent on that occasion ; this time it must be managed so as to appear to be a rising of the people. -The French and Italian press well under stands this cue ; consequently we hear less fanfaronnade about the volunteers rushing to deliver the capital of their country ; of their spirit of devotion and sacrifice ; of their readi ness for action ; of their boast of assured suc cess. The line now adopted is to blind Europe to what is going on round the borders of the Roman State. When allusion is made to the Garibaldian bands, it is to say they are not of heart with their enterpise, that they see they have no chance at present, that Garibaldi himself is changed into the most peaceful of old men, only aspiring to end his days in rest and retirement. The very meetings which are planned to supply from Genoa, Turin, cirx., the entrain which was poured out from the Geneva Congress last year, are said to be co-operative conferences of workmen, animated only with desires of peaceful usefulness ; and even the Parlamentino of Naples is to be but a friendly meeting, to consider the electoral laws. Mean time, stealthily and in the dark, the requisite agents are being poured by small instalments at a time into Rome, who, if they can contrive to elude the vigilance of the police, or bribe, cajole, or intimidate them, have their instruc tions, at a given signal, to simulate and repre sent the Roman people in a rising, and carry the place from within by a coup de main, when I the interference of the troops from Civita _ _ Vecchia to dispossess them would, it is thought, be a very different matter in the eyes of Europe than resisting an attack made from without. One formidable obstacle to the success of this well-laid plot is the want of coherence be tween the different sections of the party. It would depend in great measure on temper and discretion in carrying it out, but fanaticism is boastful and garrulous, and already the most secret intentions have been supposed to ooze out. More than this, the spirit of subordi nation is necessarily wanting. There are a dozen would-be heads, every one with a scheme of his own, and unwilling to submit to that of his neighbour, so that it is always most un certain whether any one scheme can obtain sufficient support to work it efficiently. This spirit subdivides every division of the party : thus, for example, actions and counter-actions for charges of mal-administration of funds, defamation of character, &c., are waging be tween the heads of the party which directed the attack on Rome last year, Mistrali, Fab brizzi, Ghirelli, and others. All the while a state of unrest and insecurity is maintained, some unknown change is always at hand, and men are kept from trusting the Government, which at the moment happens to have the upper hand. The local newspapers in vari ous towns find their account in keeping up the ferment, which now and then breaks into open display of discontent, as at Monte Pulciano, where the public notices concerning the new meal-tax have been for two months past torn down by the people as soon as affixed by order of the municipality, and are only now preserved in their place by sending a number of the boldest peasants to prison, and stationing a guard on the spot ; and all this week at Flor ence the police have had work enough with defacing the chalked-up denunciations of the King and Government. Of course such a state of things sets many calculating on what the future will be, and optimists are not want ing who think they see clearly a not far-off advent of a better order of things in the return of Italy to the regime of her medic val re publics. A love of rule, it is thought, has been evoked in too many breasts to subside into submission to the ordinary framework of any One Government. Several centres of rule must be created to afford place for so much ambi- tion, and that these failing, as they must, to re store confidence and security, will ultimately drive the people back to implore them of the Holy See, as the legitimate source of right, and sovereignty, and peace. The brilnt of any immediate attack, it is clear, will have to be borne by the Pontifical army, and upon its firmnes, therefore, the ultimate advance of revolution will mainly depend, and there is no sort of snare which may not be expected to be laid for them in the approaching conflict. While every con fidence animates us that they will be as ready for their work, and that the care of Divine Providence will be extended over them as mani festly as during their former trials, all who care for . the cause of right and order, which is just now as it were entrusted to their keeping, must feel a personal interest in promoting their efficiency ; and there is no one who may not. Lava his part in this work. For the mo ment they are chiefly subject to two attacks, one being the result of change of temperature, which has crowded the hospitals with sick, and already occasioned three or four melancholy losses, among them a young Englishman, very much liked in his company, and an Italian artilleryman, Antonio Goldoni by name, whom his comrades regard almost as a saint ; the other the malicious reports of their opponents. It has been given them to silence for ever the accusation of inefficiency, and the epitaph of mercenary applied to them so liberally when untried. The untruth about them in which Italian papers now indulge is, that they are divided by faction and rivalry, and the old story of the jealousy of civilians is now and then revived. As such stories generally get copied sooner or later into the English papers, it may be as well to point out that the games of last Thursday gave a more effectual prac tical denial to the calumny than pages of argu ment. Not only the various corps competed with each other with the most friendly emu lation, but civilians entered the lists with them also ; and it would be impossible to say whether the good-humoured applause which greeted each effort of strength or ingenuity was more hearty from comrades or townsmen, so general was it. Marchese Cavaletti, Senator of Home, who is shying at Frascati, came over to be among the spectators, and Prince Bur ghese carried off a prize in one of the r ac es. While on the subject, it will not be without interest to your readers to add to my former account that the four prize-takers in the foot race were all Irishmen, Charles McNally (Ist comp. of the 3rd battalion), who received a watch as first prize; James MeLoughlan (Ist TUE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEIM' E 14, 1868. of the 2nd) ; Edward Cahill (6th of theist) ; and Patrick Conolly (6th of the 2nd). There was a very large number of competitors. Among the contributions for the army which have been received this week are sixty mules sent by the department of the Vendee. I have already alluded to the disunion rife among the enemies of the Holy See ; another instance has just been brought to my notice. Part of their faVourite tactics, as you pretty well know, is the spreading of false reports respecting what is doing in Rome. I have frequently had occasion to expose untruths thus spread abroad, and it is instructive occa sionally to observe how, as was the case with some other false witnesses, their testimony agreeth not. One of the latest fictions of this nature has been the accounts given of numer ous desertions in the Pontifical army. You may form your opinion of their truth after perusing the following ironical remarks with which the Corriere Italiano disposes of the statements in a French paper of its colour : " The chronicler of our contemporary has discovered the true solution of the Roman question---a solution which will save all blood shed. Every morning he makes a certain num ber of the Pope's soldiers desert, and if we come to multiply his numbers by his morn ings, we shall find that be has disposed of a good many thousands up to the present date. This is so much gained, indeed, but is as nothing to the promise of future successes which may be argued from his singular ability. We fully expect to find some fine morning that he has made Cardinal Antonelli desert, or perhaps even the Pope himself. Then he would have settled the Roman question in deed, and that without having recourse to the new secret society of the Vendetta di Mentana. " Nevertheless there are those who think they have good reason to persist in believing that all the Papal soldiers Florence has seen are but the original four who pass and pass again through the columns of our contem porary like manikins in a puppet-show. In this manner ' the army of Xerxes may be re presented by half-a-dozen dummies.' " The llifornkt has been publishing, the last few days, a series of articles, intended to pave the way for the violent measures to be proposed in the "Parlamentino" of Naples. They are from the pen of the Deputy Crispi, a name well known in the chronicles of Mentana. He sets out by asseverating that the Parlamentino is intended to be the most peaceful' of meet ings : in fact, " nothing but a friendly meeting held in public." But then - he goes on to his complaints, which bear anytting but a friendly tone. " Parliament his been prorogued," he exclaims, " after a long and laborious session, and has left unsolved all the problems of the national reconstruction. In all its 202 sittings it has done nothing but vote taxes and pay ments, and with all this has not advanced one step towards establishing the financial position of the country. The whole machine of Government is cumbersome and unfit for its work. . . The organic laws are but patches on the antiquated mantle of a little State, quite inadequate to cover the august members of redeemed Italy. What we must have is the Government of the people • aye, of the lowest of the people. The Parliament cannot but work ill, having consideration to the conditions upon which it was constituted. . . . All parties are agreed about this. The Senate (Upper House is at present nothing but a convenient tool of the Executive Govern ment. . . . We must infuse into it the energy of the popular element, by making membership electoral. Further, and as a re form preliminary tc all others, we must have the legislative power entirely distinct, not only in theory but in practice, from the Executive. Neither senator nor deputy may be a member of the Council of State, nor of the Corte dei . Conti, nor of the Bench of Judges ; still less may they be permitted to belong to any branch of the Administration, to the army or navy. . . . Then, as to the constitution of the electoral body, I have always held, and the experience of years confirms me in maintain ing, that we want a great extension of the franchise, and that every day's delay is of pre judice to our institutions. Every citizen who has attained the age of 21 should have the right to vote, with no other condition than that he should be able to read and write. Every Italian who has attained the age of 25 should be eligible as a deputy. All rights of free postage and privileges of all sorts should be abolished, alike for senators and deputies, but they should have an allowance of 25 francs a day for attending Parliament."

All this is in the usual claptrap style, calm . lated with the additional spicing of mystery, and meting out numberless little posts of im portance and authority, to attract youths whose minds the disorganized state of the country has unsettled,same t while ime htthaet they exacted subscriptions fill the pockets of th e promo t e rs of the scheme, at the give their dupes a stake in its promotion and success. And in the midst of all this ferment, Rome wears her serenest aspect. The preparation of the acts of the Council is being pushed for ward. So general is the presentiment that God will not suffer any machinations to hinder the gathering of this august assembly, that the Committee on Ceremonial is at present occu r pied with arranging the order of precedence to be observed by the prelates and others composing it. Among the minor matters to be treated I hear that of church music will undergo a serious revision. The distinguished Hungarian convert, Listz, who is at present gone to Grottamare for sea-bathing, is engaged, am told, in the consideration of several ques tions connected with Christian art, which have been submitted to the Council. Mgr. Tizzani (the blind Archbishop of Nisibis in partibus) has just completed the first volume of his great I work on the General Councils of the Church. The present volume contains the Eastern Gene ral Councils ; the two others, comprising the Western Councils, will appear in llovember. As it is calculated to prove a book of refer ence of great general importance, it is being brought out, in the first instance, in French, but will be published only in Rome, Pere Dousset, the Dominican, having undertaken the translation from Mgr. Tizzani's MS. It is not, however, a mere historical record, but displays a clear-sighted and philosophical ap preciation of the reciprocal action of the Church and the world, as well as of the cha racters of the great men who have governed their age. The work is dedicated to Car dinal Bonaparte. Mgr. Brancaleoni-Castellani sostituto in the Segreteria de' brevi pontijici, a useful public servant and a very distinguished Latinist, died last week at the age of fifty four. M. de Sartiges is to have his farewell audience of the Pope to-morrow. It is now expected that - M. de Bonneville will come out before November or December. M. Armand is to come to-night to take his place in the in terim. A little intrigue has just been laid bare which may ha.:e the effect of averting mischief. A Pole has been dismissed from the Vatican who, after obtaining a post of camerlingo by urging the plea of his oppressed nationality, was found to be a spy in the Russian service. It is observable that his predecessor in the office, Kulcyski by name, obtained, abused, and lost his post in a precisely similar way. The great religious celebration just now is of course the Novena of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which is being duly honoured in a great many churches. The loyal address to the Pope I mentioned a few weeks ago from the Catholics of Gratz and circamjacent towns, has received 52,000 signatures, that against the Concordat only bore 2,000. The brigade stationed at Rocca di Papa had another field day yesterday, making a feint attack on Rocca Priora. It was a harder day's work than the siege on Altano, as the distance is greater, and the road all uphill. It went off very well. The King of Naples and his brother, the Count of Caserta, who is an officer in General Kanzler's staff, assisted iu the manoeuvres. The brigade is under orders to return to Rome to-morrow. The cases of fever are numerous, but it is well understood here, and there is no special cause for alarm. I have just seen a person who, travelling out by the ordinary Mount Cenis route, was put to terrible straits by the late accident. Very little regard seems to be had for the con venience of passengers, who have not only to walk a considerable part of the road in what ever weather, but to climb over heaps of de bris, and to cross mountain torrents, with the aid only of the most primitive appliances. It is many years since so considerable a landslip has taken place; the inundations of the lower country occurring at the sametime, of course complicate the difficulty and increase the delay of bringing the line into working order again. This will certainly require two or three weeks, or more. Meantime the beautiful road over the Brenner has, as far as I can learn, received no injury. This line, which was completed in the spring, affords a continuous railway route all the way, travelling from Paris through Strasburg, Munich, Augsburg, Innsbruck, Verona, Bologna, and Florence, and may be done in five days. In anticipation of delay I despatch my parcel two days earlier than usual. Should anything of interest occur to me later, I will take the chance, as last week, of the post scripts reaching you by via di mare, before you go to press. UNITED S7A7'ES CURRENCY. (From the Anylo-American Times) Events are giving the Currency Question the place in the United States to which it is entitled before the National Debt or any other financial question whatever. A curious piece of by-play has occurred between Mr. SPINNER, United States Treasurer, and a gentleman who forwarded from Boston a $lO bill with a formal demand for its redemption in gold according to the terms of the note. This the Trea surer returns with a long, elaborately argued letter, wherein he alludes to the essays on finance by his correspondent in very complimentary terms. Mr. SPINNER shows the practicability of funding the debt, with lower interest and a more lengthened term. He opposes every form of repudiation, even to taxing the interest. With some inconsistency, he proposes to make the national banks exchange the Six per Cent. Bonds for Four per Cents., asserting that they have been created by the privileges and franchises of the Government, at whose sufferance they live, and therefore they should be thus made to assist the Government. If the banks have been granted such privileges without the public receiving an equivalent the Government has been false to its trust, and the officer who publicly announces it condemns the administration in general and his department in particular. If the banks gave the equivalent for these valuable concessions of which the treasurer would now deprive them, at least in part, then he acts the repudiator's part towards a portion of the bondholders, on the very plea the general body of repudiators use against the national creditor as a whale. The plea is, that they bought the privilege of receiving six per cent.--untaxed—coin interest, at a rate that did not represent its value, taking advantage of the country's necessities, and that now, like SHYLOCK, they demand their whole bond, and no thing less, notwithstanding theflaw in their contract. The basis of the agreement was, we presume, that the National Banks should keep as a security a pro portion of United States Bonds against their notes, and the condition was that Six per Cent, gold inte rest should be paid on the deposit. Now, the Trea surer says, you are mere creatures of the Govern ment, living on this valuable concession; you must take Four per Cent. instead of Six, or we will wipe you out of existence. This is curious language from a Treasury officer, who commences with repu diating every species of Repudiation. But the truth is that when we desire to shuffle off our debts and difficulties we are in a vicious circle, and can scarcely refrain from kicking at the pricks of honesty which surround us while looking for an opening and find ing none not more or less barred. One of Mr. PENDLETON'S Mat telling points in a recent speech was his story of a neighbour who, before the war, purchased a house, for which he bound himself to pay $20,000. Like a wise man to whom the future was an open book, he gathered up his gold and hid it —(at least it appears from bis act, though Mr. PENDLETON did not say so)—and waited, knowing the future, till gold rose to 250, when with his hoard he bought $50,000 in legal tender, paying the man from whom he had purchased the house $20,000 in greenbacks, and investing the other $30,000 in Government Bonds, from which be has drawn a gold interest of $l,BOO a year ever since, and he clamorously supports the doctrine that the bands should be paid in gold. The only hitch is the opportune production of the gold ; and few in Maine, where the story was told, will dispute that a trader so sharp was entitled to a gain. But if what the Nation anticipates comes to pass, Mr. PENDLETON'S friend will be lucky in being able to retain his plunder. There can be no doubt that in equity the $30,000 which he in vested in Government Securities belonged to the person from whom he bought the house. The de cision of the Supreme Court, on the legality of the Legal-Tender Act will be on cases similar to that given by Mr. PENDELTON, as it can only decide questions of right between individuals. PENDLE TON'S neighbour might be sued by the vendor on the point whether the purchaser completed his con tract by the payment of the $20,000 in greenbacks. The vendor asserts that there was no money known to the law of the United Stat3s except coin when he sold the house, awl therefore no other money could have been meant—that in greenback payment the stun specified had been reduced by two-thirds, when instead of receiving $20,000 coin dollars, as i❑ the terms of the sale, he received but :,000, and that therefore he claimed the twelve thousand stilt , due. The appeal of the purchaser, of course, would be to the Legal Tender Act, which makes greenbacks a lawful tender alike for public and private debts, in conformity with which he paid the full sum of twenty thousand dollars. If the Court decides against the Legal-Tender Act the ground of the purchaser is cut from under him, as the judgment will assert that the Act is not in ac cordance with the Constitution, and therefore is no law. The Natzon says :—" The cases likely to come before the Supreme Court under the Legal-Tender Act may be placed in four different groups : Ist. Claims for payment in coin of engagements entered into prior to the passage of the Legal-Tender Act, in cases where the original contract simply calls for the payment of dollars. 2d. Claims for payment in coin of engagements entered into subsequent to the passage of the Act, where the contract specifi cally states or clearly implies that payment is to be made in coin. 3d. Claims for pay ment in coin of engagements entered into either prior or subsequent to the passage of the Act, in cues between foreigners and American citizens, where the contract was made abroad, and does not specify the nature of the currency; 4th, claims for payment in coin of engagements entered into subsequent to the passage of the Act, in cases where the contract does not specify the nature of the currency. It will be seen that almost every case likely to arise can be placed id one or other of these groups, and that at least four decisions on four different cases will be necessary to enable the general public to understand how its interests are to be affected by the opinion of the Supreme Court on the constitutionality of the Legal-Tender Act." It considers that the Court will decide in all the cases belonging to the three first groups, that payment is due, and must be made in United States gold coin ; but that the decision in the fourth case will be against the claimants, on the ground that at the time of the contract greenbacks were notoriously the—undisputed. uni v.ersal and. accept- currency, which 'signified money unless gold was specified. The majority of wrongs perpetrated under the Legal-Tender Act cannot be repaired, nor, in the Nation's opinion, can they be repeated, for the history of-the world has shown that while wholesale injustice to creuitors is possible, against debtors it is impossible, and when attetnp ed, results in revolu tion and social anarchy. Its opinion, then is, that the anticipated judgment will not practically in volve the compulsory payment in coin of all Legal- Tender engagements now outstanding. Further, that as the Legal-Tender Act did not suspend Sr ecie payment, which was accomplished before it was dreamed of, but only rendered resumption more difficult, its abolition cannot restore specie payments, merely rendering resumption no longer impossible. It is very evident that no decision of the Supreme Court can replace the coin which has been exported from the United States owing to the false policy of its financiers, who by cheapening gold hastened its export. But the decision will * reverse this policy, and by bringing gold again into circulation add to its valu', and in checking its export check at the same time the undue import of luxuries into the United States. It will then be the first step in the right direction, and although it Will requite years to r, pair the waste of war and the effects of ignorant financial legislation, so elastic are the re sources of the United States that only time and common sense in the Government are necessary for the nation to pull up every foot of leeway. BRAZILIAN MODERA7ION, Those who have read the Secret Treaty of Al liance, concluded on the Ist May, 1865, by the Plenipotentiaries of Brazil, the Argentine Republic, and Uruguay are aware that the fall of Huinaita, if it be,not the fall of,Paraguay, does not terminate the war, in as far as all the objects set forth except that one are as yet unattained. The best historical parallel to this treaty is the shameful conspiracy by which Poland was partitioned. It professes to preserve intact the Republic of Paraguay ; its territorial integrity being guaranteed collectively by the contracting parties for the term of five years. The value of this Article may be gathered from the others, together with - ' what history teaches of the fate of countries which fall beneath the arms of a conqueror. These parties, after an nouncing their object to be the destruction of the Go vernment, begin by a compact that the exemptions, privileges, or concessions obtained from Paraguay shall be common to all of them—the free naviga tion of the rivers Parana and Paraguay, so far as Paraguay is concerned, being opened to the war and merchant vessels of the Allies—the right of concerting the most suitable measures to guarantee peace with Paraguay, the Allies reserve till after its overthrow. The war expenses, indemnification for the injuries done to public and private property, to the persons of citizens previous to the Declaration of War, as well as after, in the violation of the laws of civilised war, are to be paid by Paraguay. That there might not be an after fight between the Allies over the conquered territory, a special treaty is then made defining the boundaries. Now, these boun daries, except towards Brazil, are such as no Go vernment can wipe out or ignore, consisting of the two stupendous rivers Paragu ty and Parana ; there fore Brazil only was able to encroach upon the Re public, which we believe she does with no niggard hand. After guaranteeing to each other the fulfil ment of the agreements, and rendering their future combination imperative, should Paraguay eventually attempt to avoid the terms on which peace only would be made, a proctocol is added, cmsisti ng o f th ree clauses; the first being the demolition of the fortress' - of Humaita and-the prohibition of any future erection of such forts ; the second provides that neither arms nor munitions of war be left in Paraguay ; and the third de c l ares an equal distri bution of the plunder taken. Notwithstanding the proposed annihilation of the Republic, an article is introduced providing for the admission of a Paraguayan legion into the Allied army, as the High Commissioners consider that the straits to which the people will be driven by the invasion will oblige some to turn traitors. We are led to give an outline of this Treaty, as the Standard last Wednesday asserted, in one of the most unfair articles even that paper has ever published, that "it was partly to maintain the right, guaranteed by treaty, of free passage up and down the great streams of the Paraguay and the Parana, partly to avenge for the past, and repress for the future, the piratical incursions of the troops of LOPEZ into the Brazilian province of Matto Grosso and the Argentina States of Eatrerios and Corrientes, that Brazil and the Argentine Republic entered into a league nearly three years ago with the common purpose of bringing Paraguay to reason." The only excuse we can make for the writer is that he was grossly ignorant of his sub ject. Both the Paraguay and the Parana have their origin in Brazil, and both these rivers are among those closed in that empire against the com merce of the world. A nation that only a year and a half after this secret treaty had been concluded, and eight months after, to its great disgust, it had become public, opened the main stream of the Amazon and the mouths of the two rivers, Tocantiug and San Francisco—could scarcely be said to-be fighting for the freedom of La Plata and its branches, every one of which that flowed through Brazil was a barred water. The Standard then proce,As to liken the Brazilian campaign on thie Place to the British operations in Abyssinia ! What surprises us is that we find ourselves answering such rubbish, and it is a striking instance of the stuff which even a widely circulated paper like the Standard can publish. In every point the two expeditions form an antithesis, not a parallel. Brazil borders on the country that is invaded, which is further open to attack by the third great water shed of the world, one branch of which actually flows past the capital—therefore the Brazilians could either march their army against Paraguay withoat sending a man to sea, or conduct the operations through the navy. Great Britain, on the contrary, was not only operating in a country in a distant part of the world, but far in the interior, not to be approached by any river, and hemmed in by chains of mouu tains and deserts. The Brazilians and their Allies lauded at the confluence of the Parana and the Paraguay, and never advanced beyond the sound of the guns of their fleet. To maintain their posi tion they fought a series of desperate battles. Every advance they attempted was checked by disastrous defeats, and after three years of fighting for the pos , session of HuDiaita they got it when every attack had 171.1 been repulsed, by their enemy evacuating thefortresst while in its ditches 1;y the bodies of thousands of the Allies who had just met their final signal defeat. Lord NAPIER, on the other hand, made one of the most notable marches on reccrd, skil fully over,:oming the extraordinary difficulties in' terposed by nature. In a few hours when on the scene he captured the Abyssinian fortress, and he slew the Abyssinian King—his loss two non-cora• batant mules. Every object contended for in Abyssinia was at once achieved by the English Gene ral, while not one striven for iu Paraguay has been attained by Brazil, except the fall of Humaita. Phis is the campaign the Staiid:ird s Aects for a comparison with that of the Allies against Para guay. After these happy and truthful statements it proceeds to glorify Brazil, and to sing a fXls over her great triumph, and for this purpose it as sociates the wretched Slave E npire an 1 the failure of her dastardly attack, with the great military nations whose exploits " have required the highest qualities of the mind and the highest developmen t of the social and political attributes of the people. 13razil has won her spurs. She may now take her place in the knighthoo 1 of nations." If Brazil, con' tent with having reducl 1 Hutnaita by starva" tion, ce..ses to prosecute the war, she must con" less to defeat. There is no evading the Secret treaty, but one condition of which has yet been accomplished. The moderation. claimed for the Allies is the moderation of a bully in the presence of one he has good cause to fear. The Secret 'Treaty proves what the slave eMpire's moderation was when she thought the little Republic of Para guay was at her mercy—when three months were to take General MITRE to Ascuncion, and the resist' twee of LOPEZ was with the Allies the subject of banter. Now Brazil,on theeve of a revolution, steeped in debt, disgraced by defeat, may hold very differen t language and call it moderation. The Standard may be assured that such articles will do the caus e of Brazil no good. They only lead to an exposure , and teach its own readers how unreliable are its statements.
