-THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. What is t, ants the Tortes, that has made tl , is crisis ? What is it that has thrown a sudden light on the Irish Esta blishment, so that it is seen to be not only conspicuous but unique among national scandals ? What is it that makes the Liberals now so justly self-accusing, and that, on the other hand, has embittered and almost envenomed the tone of Catholic prelates and gentleman on this topic? This coun try, a g a great Liberal and Protestant Power, has given as much encouragement and assistance as her insular position allows to a great religious revolution which has now com prised all Western Europe. Everywhere the endowments of the Catholic Church have been confiscated, and the Church itself in many countries deposed from its supre macy—nay, in all, from its extreme pretensions. Finally, Italy itself becomes the most prominent instance of the great change. The Pope has been, further, deprived of his States, and now trembles, not only for the patrimony of St. Peter, but even for his see. The public opinion of this country is strong against a Papal sovereign and the temporalities. But if this is a principle, the Roman Catholics may claim a right to it. There is no difference in principle between a State Church and the Church State . of Protestant abhorrence. Indeed, there is no " temporality" in the world worse than that illustrated by an average Irish parish, where the temporalities are on one side and the people on the other. We are brought to a sense of this inconsistency because we are of the brotherhood of nations, and, having helped largely and freely to create and to form the public opinion of Europe, we now find it dead against us. We have been palling the motes out of the eyes of all our brethren, and now they tell us there is something much worse in our own. It is this which has roused the • dormant sense of shame, and now compels us to practise what we teach. Compelled as we are to learn from other countries, we have at least the benefit of their example. That is a simple and easy rule. Different nations have their different ways of dealing with denominations and endowments, and surely we need not go far for an example that would apply to the case of Ireland. But we are English, it may be said, and have a right to do things in our own English fashion. Why need a conti nental precedent, or the judgment of the world? The answer is that we are no longer English, in the sense of government, but British ; and that if we choose to abide by our old insular policy, we must henceforth disclaim all participation or community of feeling in the affairs of the civilised world. The Post expresses the opinion that should Mr. Glad stone embody in his resolutions a distinct policy, such as that foreshadowed in his late speech, his party will cer tainly follow him. But at any rate we shall distinctly learn the position of parties ; we shall know whether fifteen Conservatives wish to help the Opposition ! We shall ascertain whether twenty-five Liberals have formed a new " Cave !" It is absurd to admit that a Government holds office with a claimed majority of seventy against them. We shall now find out clearly what is the power of the Government, and what is that of the Opposition and the forthcoming debate will either determine an immediate crisis, or will render easy the tenure of office by the present Government until the new Parliament shall bring fresh questions and fresh solu tions. It is not a little curious'to watch the singular contrast of the enthusiasm of a Gladstone as against the sm art jugglery of Disraeli. The Liberal chief may be right or wrong, but his conviction is absolute. But Vivian Grey, on the contrary, only seeks to be an expedient monger, And his tricks, dodges, and artifices, are multiplied as the nights wear on. Only a few days ago he proposed to the House to sit in Passion Week. This suggestion was received with a storm of reprobation on both sides. But it was never meant by the Premier that the House should acquiesce in it. He only put it forward that on a future occasion he might refer to his having suggested so un. popular a proposal " for the sake of forwarding public business," although members , of Parliament can testify that Government are really acquiescing in the delay of public affairs with a view to throwing over much business to next session, of delaying a dissolution, and of protracting their tenure of power until 1870. Mr. Gladstone, says the Standard, is blessed with a con siderable following of gentlemen who would cheerfully vote that black is white to-morrow if the attainment of office depended upon that issue. But it is the peculiar misfor tune of such a leader that he is hampered by his official relationship with a section of Liberals who can afford to be honest and independent. Of these, some are opposed to any measure which should weaken or cripple the Irish Church in the face of a Roman Catholic majority. Others again would side with comparatively moderate men, like Lord Russell and Mr. Bright, and consent to disestablish. went and partial disendowment, but are steadily opposed to the ruthless policy of Mr. Gladstone. And a third section discerns the positive indecency of any violent action in the matter while the case to which any interven tion should be directed is still being inquired into by the royal commission appointed at the instance of Mr. Glad stone's chief. Here are, in the opinion of our contempo rary, ample materials for the construction of a very substantial " Cave," and there is a fourth section which may reasonably be expected to swell its inmates. We refer to those Liberals who, while they have not the smallest sympathy with the Irish Church, and would cheerfully see it swept away to-morrow, view with the strongest repugnance the attempt of their nominal leader to make use of the question to turn out the present Government. The Daily Neias argues in favour of the principle of small investors being allowed to place their money in foreign stock. But at the same time there are many things which would lead our contemporary to counsel such not to speculate. Within these few days, however, a pro posal has been made to the public, the authors of which undertake to shew how the advantage of a high rate of interest may be combined with security for both interest and capital stock. The principle upon which the Foreign and Colonial Government Trust is based is in appearance similar to that on which our various insurance companies are founded—that of grouping a large number of risks, so as to diminish possible loss. Without the liability to risk attaching to a certain class of stocks, this combination would have no raison d'etre. The managers of the new trust state that they have bought a variety of dividend paying stocks, on the basis of which they are going to issue certificates with coupons, the certificates themselves to be repaid by annual drawings. But this is what the Governments whose stocks are to be held are already bound to do with respect to them. Hence it is only as giving the investor as a security the average honesty and solvency of sixteen Governments instead of the honesty and solvency of one only that the trust has the advantage to boast. There are several objections to the plan, and one is that such an insurance society has no data upon which to act. And, after all, all that the new scheme can be said to do is, to minimise the risk to which those are liable who are determined to put money into foreign stocks. That any minimum rate of interest, whether seven or six or five per cent., can be promised, is impossible from the total want of data. On the other hand, a person holding the securi ties of a number of doubtful Governments immediately through this trust, will be certain, in the worst case, to save something out of the fire. The details of the scheme, such as the high rate of commission charged to cover ex penses, and the anonymous character of the promoters, we leave to others. On Friday night Mr. W. E. Forster got up to call atten tion to the present state of the law of allegiance, discharg ing his self-imposed duty in a way worthy of his previous reputation. Though the ground had alrfa ly been gone over, still it would not have been wom'erail if some honourable members had declared their attac'iment to the old ways, and their determination to tta id by the old lines which constitutional writers have marked out, and learned judges have often enough laid down. But, observes the Herald, no jarring or discordant note was heard. The unanimity of the assembled Commons was truly wonderful. The law which has come down to us from the earliest periods of legal history, which was stated and expounded by Lord Coke, re-affirmed by Sir Matthew Hale, treated as indisputable by Foster, and accepted as axiomatic by every text writer from Foster and Blackstone down to Story and Broom, is already practically given up as unsuited to the altered conditions of society in the present day. Of course, there were differences of opinion among the various speakers as to the kind of alteration that had become necessary, and the way in which that alteration is to be effected. Some impulsive spi r i ts were for making a tabula rasa, and starting afresh with a spick and span new code, to hea ven - sent legislator , to be turned out of hand by while more statesmanlike members admitted that the subject was too important to be h an dl e d in haste, and involved questions too intricate to be disposed of withot t serious and, it may be, protracted deliberation. But on all hands the subject was treated as so nearly ripe for dis cussion that an international congress might advan tageously assemble to prepare an agreement, in the adop tion of which. 911 civilised countries might concur. Supposing, after a man has taken the oath of allegiance to the United States, he returns to England,..and asks for what Mr. Forster terms re-patriation, no one, remarks the Telegraph, is harsh enough to desire that the boon should be refused, yet here we come to a ease that may not only be very complex in regard to civil rights in Engla.ld, but that may bring us into conflict with the foreil!n Government. Smith is an American citizen ; and it will not suit us to have an English subject who, while living in this country, is liable to a 'claim of allegiance from a foreign Government. For such a case, then, a joint under standing becomes indispensable. But of all things do not let us have any more conventions or treaties. Were the Americans to pass an Act of Congress, declaring that if John Smith returned to his native country and resided there for two years he should thereby forfeit his adopted citizenship, the whole case could easily be met by legisla tion in our own Parliament. Either party could then change its own legislation, if found inexpedient in practice, without affording ground of complaint to the other; the system would more readily permit amendment, as expe. rience might disclose defects ; and the independent free. dom of action preserved by each Government would ir! v • • . COUNTRY WORKHOUSES. A terrible picture of the condition of many of the pro vincial workhouses was drawn by the Archbishop of York at the interview of the deputation from the Workhouse Infirmaries Association with the President of the Poor-law Board. At Chesterfield workhouse, for instance, said his Grace, quoting from the official inspector's report, some of the beds in the infirmary are so near together as almost to touch, the rain drips through the ventilators in the ceiling on to the floor, and in one instance on to the bed. There are no proper chairs, dining• tables, or tablecloths : in one ward seven dirty and neglected children were found eating their dinners on the floor ; the medicines are handed over to the patients themselves, who take them or not as they are inclined ; there are no proper means of washing the sick, and only one towel a week is allowed for use in each ward. In the same infirmary an imbecile patient was lately beaten to death by a pauper wardsman for some tr:fling act of negli gence. In the Shardlow Union there is no classification even of the sexes ; at Ashton-under-Lyne the convalescent sick share the lunatic day-room, confinements take place in the general sick wards, and the fever wards are used for itch and other disgusting diseases. This state of things is more or less common to the Blackburn, Burnley, Bury, Chorley, Clitheroe, the Fylde, Harlingden, Old ham, and Preston workhouses. His Grace recommended that the reforms which have been made in the manage ment of the London workhouses should be extended to those in the provinces ; that the sick poor should be separated from the able-bodied paupers ; that 'in lieu of sick wards annexed to each work house, consolidated infirmaries managed on the hospital system should be provided ; that from 1,000 to 1,500 cubic feet of air should be allowed to each patient ; that nursing should be conducted by a trained staff, with one assistant nurse for each 50 patients ; tbat there should be a resident medical officer to every 250 patients—the medical officer to have no pecuniary interest in the medicines dispensed ; and that Lord Devon should seek from Parliament powers to enforce a code of regulations for the govern ment of infirmary establishments, and to appoint an auxiliary corps of medical inspectors. Mr. Ernest Hart suggested that these inspectors should report specifi cally like the gentleman just quoted. There were reports and reports, and most of the stock phrases in use by inspectors were mere euphemisms, covering a multi tude of workhouse sins. Inspectors were too fond of reporting in adjectives ; thus what they called " insufficient attendance " meant neglect of giving the sick their proper diets, leaving them to their own help or no help, mixing the convalescent sick who needed rest and quiet with noisy lunatics ; " inade quate " and " insufficient" stood for the evils which had been exposed in connection with the Bedminster Union ; the scrubbing of hands black with gangrene as if they were black with dirt, the killing of an infant by acciden tally placing it in scalding water, and then rubbing off the blisters with a towel, &c., &c. The Earl of Devon, in reply to the deputation, said that the Legislature was, not always ready to give the Board powers over guardians, for fear of strengthening centralisation. He acknowledged the value of the recommendations of the Infirmary Com mittee, and said that many of them were already embodied in the bill he should propose for second read- THE ROYAL VISIT TO IRELAND. The Dublin Mail says that preparatiomaave been com menced in St. Patrick's Cathedral for the accommodation of the large number of persons who will be present on the occasion of the installation of the Prince of Wales as an extra Knight of St. Patrick. It has been arranged that the installation ceremony will take place in the centre of the cathedral, and in front of the Eagle. The screen sepa rating the choir from the Royal Chapter Room will he removed, so that an uninterrupted view will' be afforded of the entire length of the edifice. In the nave the seats will be changed from their present position, and placed laterally, so as to permit a wide passage to be kept for the procession. In the aisles, galleries will be erected, and seats placed upon them. "Friar's Walk" will also be devoted to the accommodation of spectators, for whose protection iron bars will be placed as guards to the open niches. The musical arrangements have been committed to the efficient charge of Dr. Francis Robinson and the sacred music on the occasion will be rendered by the gentlemen of the cathedral choirs, and those of the Chapel Royal and Trinity College. The body of executants will be plaCed on a gallery in the neighbourhood of the Grand Master's Throne. Admission to the cathedral will only be obtained by tickets, to be procured from Sir Bernard Bnrke's com mittee, which will commence its duty of selection early next week. We believe it is understood that all present must appear in full dress. On the day of the installation the knights, with their esquires, and the officers of the Order, will assemble in the Upper Castle Yard at an early hour— the former in their mantles, habits, collars, &c., anti the latter in full dress—to proceed to the cathedral in a pro cession, which will most probably be marshalled in the following order :—Squadron of cavalry ; State trumpets and drums ; messengers; pursuivants ; sergeants-at-arms, with their maces ; Athlone pursuivants ; the knights, in order of juniority, , with their esquires ; H. the Prince of Wales ; and the Lord-Lieutenant, Grand Master of the Order ; Ulster King of Arms, with his Usher/ the Secre tary, Chancellor, and Prelate. The procession will be closed with a squadron ref cavalry, and proceed along Dame-street, George's-street, Aungier street, Bishop-street, Kevin-street, and the new sticet to the west gate of the cathedral. The streets through which the procession will plss will be lined with infantry. On arriving at the western portal the knights, the Grand Master, and the Prince of Wales will be conducted to the Royal Chapter-room by the dean, prebendaries, vicars choral, choristers, and verger. In the Chapter-room the Lord -Lieutenant will take his tat at the head of the table as Grand Master, and the knights will take their respective seats, their esquires standing behind them. The Prince of Wales, as the knight to be installed, will stand at the table, and before him will be deposited his mantle and sword, his banner being fixed by one of his esquires in the place appointed for it. The Chapter having been duly constituted, the Grand Master and the knights will proceed to the choir, where his Excellency will take his place upon the throne, and the knights will occupy their respective stalls, their esquires being seated in front of them. The dignitaries and prebendaries will proceed to their places, after which a " Te Deum " will be sung. At the conclusion of the anthem, Ulster King of Arms, the heralds, pursuivants, and esquires of the Prince of Wales will proceed to the Chapter-room for the insignia. On re-entering the choir, Ulster King of Arms will bear the collar on a blue velvet cushion, and the esquires will carry the banner, mantle, and sword. The Prince of Wale 3 will then proceed to the table where the Prelate—the Lord Primate—will read the Admonition, and the Grand Master having commanded the two senior knights present to descend from their stall 3, his Royal Highness will be by them invested with the sword and collar, and the mantle being placed upon him, he will be conducted to a stall specially prepared for him as an extra knight. The senior esquire will then unfurl the banner, and Ulster King of Arms will proclaim the style of his Royal Highness. All will then sit down, except the officers of arms and the esquires, who will hand the banner to the registrar, to be deposited in its appointed place. The National Anthem having been sung, a procession will be formed by the Ulster King of Arms, and the knights, dignitaries, and attendants will leave the cathedral. An important and influential meeting was held at No. 1, Whitehall-gardens, on Saturday afternoon, when it was decided to adopt energetic measures for de fending the Irish Church, and with this view a great pul lic meeting will be held in London next month. It is now ten years since the Indian mutiny was suppressed. In August last the roll of men of the 27th (Inniskilling) Regiment entitled to the medal was sent to Sir W. Mansfield, but up to the last week nothing was heard of it at the India Office, and the men have not got the medals won in 1858. At a meeting of Liberals held at Berkhatnpstead the following letter from Mr. J. Bright, M.P., was read : " I thank you for your invitation to your intended public meeting, and regret that I am compelled to disappoint you. I have so much to do that I cannot attend meetings during the session of Parliament, and indeed I am obliged to give up platform work to a great extent. After twenty nye years of it (and indeed more than that), I think I may claim some relief, and leave to other and younger men some of the lab Dur which I have been accustomed to under take." THE T6DMORDEN MITUDERER.—ThE English In dependent, in an article on the Todmorden murders, with nit any wish, as it says, to extenuate the murderer's tells the following story :—" When Miles Wetherill was an infant in his cradle his father happened to come in one day during his mother's temporary absence, and was seized with some cruel impulse to take the child out of his cradle and put him in a drawer. When his mother returned and inquired for her child the father professed ignorance, and aggravated her distress by telling her that he had seen a woman pass by some time before, who had loubtless stolen him. For two hours he allowed her agony to continue, until by accident she found the child in the drawer where he had placed it. Such story any one may hear in Todmorden to-day. If vices run in the blood as well as other things, surely here was a germ of murder, or any cruelty that might develone itself in generations 0 come.7_ ROMAN AFFAIRS. (From the Roman Correspondent of the Westminster dazette.) ROME, March 14. Lent is proceedin g with its usual quietness here. The churches are busy and well filled at all the various offices which are provided at all hours in the different quarters of the city. The schools of Christian Doctrine, too, are as usual at their special work of training the young during this season for their first Com munion, and daily their little messengers may be observed perambulating the streets, cross and bell in hand, and with their infantile voices calling on Christian fathers and mothers to send their children to be instructed, and not incur the condemnation of suffering them to grow up in ignorance of the truth. Among the stational churches this week was that of St. Vitale on Friday, the church whose title accompanied the cardinal's hat which Paul 111. sent to Bishop Fisher so shortly before his execution. That of Thursday was Sta. Maria in Trastevere, which claims the merit of being the first church dedicated in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary. St. CaEx ' tus consecrated it in 222, on a spot where an oil-spring was discovered at the very time of the birth of our Lord—a singular circumstance which is recorded by several very early writers, and in the following terms by Eutropius:— " Just about this time there sprang up from the ground on the other side of the Tiber a source of oil, running over the ground like a stream, signifying the Grace of Christ, which was to be communicated to the Gentiles." A local inscription thus preserves the tradition : Magna Taberna fui, tune Emeritoria dicta Emeritis adscribens virtus, vitaque relicta Hine oleum fluxit, cum Christus Virgine luxit Hine, et donatur venia quodeuinquerogatur. The allusion of the two first lines is to its occu pying the site of the taberna meritoria, a resort of the emeriti, or soldiers, who had fulfilled their term of service, or merited exemption from it. Among its multitude of other objects of sacred interest it preserves a marble slab marked with the blood of St. Barbara ; a round stone with spikes, a terrible instrument of the martyrdom of another saint ; a very ancient mosaic from the catacombs of St. Calixtus ; and the first picture of our Lady ever exposed for public veneration in Rome. The whole church has been lately under restoration at considerable cost, and affords in its frescoes the opportunity of observing the productions of modern Roman artists. In the ceiling is formed a magnificent Assumption of Domenichino. Among its many former restora tions the most noteworthy was that by Inno cent 111., who, to give it greater solemnity, performed it at the time of the Lateran Coun cil. St. Charles Borromeo was wont to pass much time here in prayer and meditation, in memory of which a chapel was subsequently erected in his honour, and the same occurred with St. Philip Neri. The Pope held a Consistorio Segreto early yes terday morning, in which Cardinal BarnabO was appointed Chamberlain of the Sacred College, vice Cardinal Reisach. St. Maria in Via aLata was nominated Cardinal Auto nelli's titular church; but he is still to hold St. Agata in commendam. Several bishops were proposed for various dioceses of Spain, Hun gary, Holland, and both Americas. The creation of nine cardinals also took place according to list sent you in my last. All are Italians, with the exception of Mgr. Bona parte, who was, however, born in Rome, and Mgr. Moreno, Archbishop of Valladolid, who is a native of Guatimala. Rome was alive all day with the ceremo nials to which the creation gives rise ; the cor teges of the new " Porporati " proceeding solemnly with their carriage windows closed, and their serving men walking by the side, to pay their visit to the Vatican ; the equi pages of the hundreds who, by official position or other rank, have any reason to pay visits of congratulation at their palaces; the mounted dragoons at the street corners directing with their drawn sabres all this extra tr l affi ten c eti ; c a te n hw d e in the evening the carriages running between the palaces and churches different localities of with which of the ricevin the cardinals have any tie illuminated, and military ; bands playing before their own. Other and more public receptions are held to-night and to-morrow night. Mgr. Stonor has been named to be the bearer of the new cardinals' hats to Spain, an office which, however honourable to him, will cause a temporary loss to the English-speaking Zouaves, to whom he is doing such good ser vice just now. But he will not leave without making provision for their Lenten retreat and other needs, spiritual and temporal ; he takes the last arrived English to an audience of the Pope this afternoon. He has lately been taking advantage of the comparatively short spell of weather when Rome is available for the pur pose to get up some cricket playing among the men, and they seem highly pleased to renewacquaintance with their national pastime. Having obtained access for them to the so called amphitheatre of the Villa Borghese, a match was arranged between Zouaves and civilians, that is English visitors, on Tuesday. The weather was exceptionally unpropitious, and kept away many who took an interest in the proceedings. The Zouaves, considering that they had no practice whatever out here, and counted some first-rate players among their opponents, have every reason to be satis fied with the day, for, though on account of the weather the game could not be played out, it was the general opinion that they would have won. There is to be another on Thurs dayO. ne of our English Zouaves had a good op portunity of showing his mettle the other night. Being, as a passer-by, witness, with a companion, of a s t ree t f ray in w hi c h knives had been used, he without hesitation gave chase to two who, by their violence, had made themselves amenable to justice ; after a long run he succeeded in capturing one, and then, having handed him over to the keeping of his comrade, who came up a Minute or two later, started off again after the other. Before he could reach him, however, he turned into a house, where his friends rendering him assist ance, the Zonave was overpowered in the dark, and the miscreant effected his escape. The agility and cool courage of the Zouave, how ever, elicited the cheers of the people who saw it, though it occurred in the Trastevere, the place of residence of the most lawless. This is the second occasion this week reported to me from personal observation in which our coun trymen in the army have been so applauded by the Romans. _ _ The Piedmontese machinations on the fron tier have not ceased, but they have had no success. The Pontifical Government is on the watch, and has been able to counteract all their schemes so far. There was a report current here a few days ago that Garibaldi was at Terni ; it is not unlikely, for he and the " emigrants" are very convenient tools. The power of his name is quite used up now, how ever, and the circumstance excites no appre hensions here. We have heard nothing serious of any further brigand depredations, but the whole of the first battalion of Zouaves has been ordered to Frosinone, and the French troops are expected to be spread over other towns of the provinces of eivita, Vecchia and Viterbo than the two they now garrison. There is no talk of their coming into Rome, but also, less than ever, of their departure. The following account has just been sent me by an eye-witness of the war material they have accumulated at Civita Vecchia, the trans port of which would hardly have been incurred so lately had a proximate recall been contem plated :—" . . . During a recent visit to the arsenal I counted six thirty-two pounders ; twelve mortars of twenty-seven ; twelve mor tars of fifteen. These pieces are provided with an aggregate of 3,000 charges. I saw also twelve rifled siege canons of twelve, provided with 7,200 charges. The French engineers have constructed several redoubts on salient points of the town and neighbourhood ; and I even heard it asserted that application had THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAWR 23, 1868. been made to Paris for larger pieces of artil lery, and the reply received was that' thig should be sent immediately—there was eve!.33- reason to apprehend that they would be re quired. The division is composed of two bri - gades. It is commanded by General Dumont,. who was comandante di piazza during the first. French occupation. The appointment is mos t satisfactory, as it would not be possible to find a French officer more devoted to the Pope and the Papal Government. I have already spoken of overtures made by the Italian to the Pontifical Generals to renew the convention of last year for the suppression of brigandage. Notwithstanding the evil use then made of it the Papal Government has shown its readiness to forgive injuries, and at the same time its fearlessness before the ma noeuvres of its enemies, by yielding to the pro posal. Colonel Azzanesi went down to Ponte-Cen tino on Saturday to arrange details, and to in troduce certain clauses calculated to assert the dignity of the Pontifical army. With those. modifications the Convention is now re-estab lished. Nor was the measure hasty or ill-considered. The Papal Government has by it's means cut away the pretence for grievances which could have been made out of brigands hired for the purpose, while its own measures are taken to provide against the abuses of the provisions of the Convention, which may be foreseen, and nullify the sinister intentions which all believe to have prompted the application for its re newal. The Papal Army has received a notable accession this week in the arrival of the first instalment of the contingent promised by Canada for the Zouaves. One hundred and forty of them marched into Rome on Tuesday, the band of the Zouaves meeting them at the Railway Station, and conducting them to their quarters at St. Francesca a Ripa. In spite of the fatigues of the journey they visited the shrine of the Apostles, in a body, the same day. They are a remarkably fine-looking body of men, full of spirit, enthusiasm, and determi nation. Many of them belong to the wealthier classes, and bear all their own expenses. The Canadian Committee provides those of all the rest, so that they arrive without any cost to the Pontifical exchequer. They bring with them also their own chaplain. That the movement has been a national one may be gathered from the above, and fur ther from this that their Zouave uniforms, as well as an undress uniform of very convenient cut, of substantial coloured cloth, with a white foraging cap, has been provided by the ladies of Canada, who have also worked their colours, a very marvel of cunning embroidery, and estimated at 1,000 dollars in value. They have engaged for two years, with only the privilege reserved of returning to their own country in case of necessity for its defence. The greater part have already been trained to arms in the native volunteer. and militia regiments. • A. second detachment of 150 is promised by the end of the month. They will shortly have an audience of the Pope, and as few of them require more train ing than they have already had they will almost immediately be draughted into various corps, and there is no danger but they will do credit both to the appearance and the strength of the army. It may be imagined that Italy does not see this inpouring of volunteer antagonists, which her attempts against the rights of the Holy See have raised up against herself, with out seeking to revenge herself by whatever means she can command. Thus her efforts at tempting the Pope's soldiers to desertion have not ceased, and it is singular that it can be worth while to keep up all the machinery it requires, and furnish the expense it requires, to compass one deserter, for with all her golden bribes an occasional Swiss or Legionary is all she obtains. General Caroll Jervis, of the Confederate States, has just received the honour of being named cameriere di cappa e Spada, or honorary chamberlain to his Holiness. He is very desir ous of working in the Pontifical cause, and has been promised a place on the staf f of the General-in-Chief in case of future hostilities. In the meantime he is engaged in organizing a committee for subsidizing the Papal army from America, to be called the Society of St. Michael, and has already had an opportunity of laying at his Holiness's feet the small first fruit of his exertions. On one of the early days of this month ap propriated to the honour of St. Joseph, M. Buffet, editor of a monthly Paris journal en titled le Propagateur de la Devotion, a St. Joseph, was admitted to present the collection for the same object made at the office of his paper, and the Pope wrote on the margin of the address accompanying it, " Dominus bene dicat tibi et dirigat cor tuum et intelligentiam g d a e t vo t t h i e on of St. J o seph was same time his satis tfaueatmie,n" e t x h p a r t es t s h in e every where on the increase. Numbers of Roman churches commenced on Tuesday their usual novena in his honour. The Irish College begins to-day a triduo in honour of St. Pat rick. Among the works in preparation for the Council is, I hear, an important one committed to the section presided over by Cardinal Biz zarri, Prefect of the Congregation of Bishops and Regular Clergy. It proposes the reunion into the great family of St. Benedict of orders such as the Olivetans, Camaldolese, Sylves trians,B46c., who profess St. special constitutions, enedic V t e ra om l b e ro u s n ia d n e s r , and for the most part but one house of their kind. Cardinal Bizzarri is said to have written to the generals of these various orders asking for their views of this reform. The Queen of Naples goes to-morrow to Vienna to be present at the accouchement of her sister, the Empress of Austria, AUSTRIA AND THE CONCORDAT. The Archiv fair Kirchenrecht, an Austrian paper edited by Herr Vering, and chiefly de voted to questions of Canon Law, gives the following details of the negotiations that have been for some time going on between Austria and the Holy See on the question of the revision of the Concordat. The excellent cha racter which this paper enjoys allows us to believe that the account it gives of .the subject is correct. In the month of August, 1867, says the Archly, Herr von Rye, the Austrian provisional Minister of Worship summoned to Vienna Pro fessor Schulte of Prague, and employed him to draw out designs for several changes in the Concordat with the Holy See, which changes Professor Schulte was to assist Baron von Hiibner to negotiate at Rome. Von Rye en tertained hopes that Rome would grant to the whole of Austria a general dispensation from the formalities prescribed by the Council of Trent for the due celebration of matrimony— a dispensation that would apply as well to the marriage of Catholics as to mixed marriages. The ground for this hope was that (as the Viennese authorities pretend) the Tridentine decrees on marriage not having been suffi ciently promulgated are not binding inHun gary and in the countries connected with Hun gary. In like manner hopes were entertained that they would obtain a modification of the laws regarding the religious education of the children born of mixed marriages ; likewise the dissolubility of marriage, and the right to marry again on the part of the Protestant party (after a divorce from a Catholic) ; civil jurisdiction over mixed marriages; the annul ment of the civil prohibition of the marriage of apostate priests and monks ; and modifica tions in the law regarding ecclesiastical sepul ture. They hoped that Rome would either explicitly or implicitly accede tothese requests. Baron Hahne; however, delayed his depar ture for Rome for some time, and at last re fused to have anything to do with the mission. Meanwhile, the Austrian bishops met inVienna, and drew up an address to the Emperor de precating these proposed changes. Alter this 'Count Crivelli was sent to Rome. His instruc tions were to inform the Holy Father that the Emperor of Austria, as a Catholic sovereign, was heartily sorry that the. Constitution which he had granted his subjects rendered it impos. sible for him to carry out the whole of 'the details of the Concordat. Mgr. Haynald, Archbishop of Calocza, was, at the Emperor's request, selected as the negotiator of the changes asked for. Mgr. Haynald in the administration of his diocese in Transylvania Thad incurred the displeasure of the Emperor by reason of his political opinion, and being :for this reason obliged to resign his bishopric, .had formerly resided for some time. in Rome as an Archbishop in partibus. He was con sidered to be opposed to the Concordat, for, at the meeting of the bishops of Vienna in 1856, he was the only one of the Hungarian prelates who voted against it. In spite of this, However, Mgr. Haploid declined to undertake the task offered him; but the Emperor pressed him, as a man in whom he had confidence, to go to Rome and assist the endeavours of Count Crivelli by showingthe Holy Father the difficult position in which the Emperor was placed in regard to the religious question. Despite the pressing instances of the Emperor and of every inducement held out, Mgr. Haynald re mained firm in his refusal to undertake the mission, because, knowing as he did the de signs of the Viennese Government, he was convinced of the futility of any attempt to carry them out: Thus, then, the matter now stands ; Count Crivelli has gone to Rome ; but we do not be lieve he has a single backer in his propositions to the Holy. See—propositions which have not an atom of a chance of being acceded to. ft remains now to be seen whether the Em peror will have the courage (which we have great reason to doubt) to oppose his veto to the laws contrary to .the Conordat which have been passed by the Chambers. If these laws are allowed to come into action the Concordat will be ipso facto annulled, and Austria, leaving far behind her even the rankest Josephism, will drift insensibly into pure and simple secular ism. Moreover, she will lose the sympathy, which hitherto she has naturally received, of the Catholics throughout the whole of Ger many. As a fitting appendage to the above signs of Austrian religious retrogression we subjoin some extracts from a speech delivered by the present Austrian Minister of the Interior, Herr G-iskra, on the occasion of opening a Protestant church at Briinn. After congratu lating the Protestants—to whom, he said, Briinn was indebted for its prosperity—he continued : " A small body of people has brought to its completion a great undertaking, because they were inspired by a great idea. This Protestant temple is the symbol of civilization, of humanity, of progress. Toleration reigns at Brinin, where Catholics and Jews have con tributed to the building of a Protestant church, and, despite the Concordat, in your cemetery the Protestant and the Catholic dead are not separated. Yes, the inhabitants 'of an indus trial town are gifted with much more extended vision than those who are pent up in narrow valleys. Fear not that your church will be de stroyed. The fanatics and the lovers of dark ness have the will to destroy it, but they dare not attempt to carry out their wish. At a time when the Emperor no longer makes a distinction between Catholic and Protestant in the choice of his ministers, full and entire toleration has not long to be waited for. The victory of the principle that the State should be of no religion cannot be won without hard fightin g ; but it will triumph in the end, for the principles of the age and the intelligence of Europe are assisting us in our battle against that treaty (the Concordat) which was forced upon the Emperor in a moment of fear. Let the Austrian people, then, congratulate them selves upon the near approach of the triumph of intelligence, of humanity, of civilization, over barbarism and fanaticism." It is true that Herr Giskra was not appointed to his present post when he delivered this ora tion ; but we have no reason to believe that his principles are changed by his elevation to office. We have no hesitation in saying that a man who should have given utterance to such principles in Prussia would have destroyed thereby the remotest chance of being selected to assist in the councils of King William and Count von Bismarck. But Herr Giskra's sen timents are quite after the spirit of the " new era," as it is called, which has been inaugu rated in Austria. Lately, in the theatre at Bolsano (Tyrol), some verses expressive of contempt and insult towards the Church and the Pope were loudly applauded by a num ber of " young Austrians" present. Several of the inhabitants of the commune determined to make a counter demonstration, if the scene were repeated on another occasion. They there-q fore attended the' theatre in conjunction with' others from the neighbouring communes, and when the vile effusion was again begun hisses were heard from all parts of the house, " mingled wijh warm expressions of disgust at the proprietor of the theatre, who thus insulted the most holy sentiments of the Tyrolese people. Hereupon the military were called, and they arrested several of those who had expressed their disapprobation, and hauled them off to prison. Next day three gentlemen, who had given the signal for the demonstra tion, were brought before the magistrate, and fined in various sums, and for having defended the religion of their country." So you see Austria has opened the doors of liberty to her people. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. (From the Anglo-American Times.) PARIS, March 19. Tue hurricane which burst over Paris the other day, and blew about the handcarts and umbrellas (we quote the simile of Swinburne in Peter Simple) like peelings of onions, has been the last effort of departing winter to die with decency, and now the winking marybuds begin to open their golden eyes ; that is to say; the delicate lilac is in flower, bright green buds are bursting from the chestnut, and the modest violet upturns her meek coun tenance to the sun, all which, being duly inter preted, means, in plain matter of fact prose, that the fine weather has set in, and the habitués of the cafés of the Boulevards now take their ease not in their inn but outside it. In the political world the Moniteur has officially confirmed the language held by his Excellency M. Rouher in the Legislative Assembly on the 4th inst., to the effect that the relations of France with other countries have never been more amicable than at present. In the last audience accorded by the Emperor to M. de Goltz, the Prussian Ambassador, his Majesty said he hoped to establish the best possible relations between the respective Govern ments ; his intention was to preserve the strictest amity with all his neighbours. it is more than probable that this bas been the motive of Prince Napoleon's visit to Germany, as it is said the Em peror has expressed great satisfaction at its result. Some differences are said to exist between Prussia and Denmark. Such matters, however, bear the same analogy to the general prospects of peace as light clouds do upon the face of a summer sky. Under such circumstances, the main object of political attraction at Paris is found in the brilliant debates of the Legislative Assembly. The measure of Government proposes to leave all meetings which do not touch upon politics or reli gion uncontrolled, merely requiring the guarantee of a few persons in regard to meetings having a pOlitical tendency, for the order with which ',hey should conducted. Of course this does not meet the views of the ultra Liberals, who, setting out with the incomplete and deceptive hypothesis that all assemblies must have for their end the diffusion of useful knowledge, build thereon a series of assertions and deductions, which, like the card-houses of children, fall down at the first breath of sense and reason which reaches them. If the past history of France may be assumed as an argument, surely no country has suffered more from the existence of clubs and other unrestrained political assemblies, and the frequent changes in her legislative enactments upon this subject, at one time granting too much, at another too little, in stead of proving the inutility of legislation upon the 'subject, shows the necessity of combining avis 7 dom and liberality in what may be proposed upon so gravely interesting a subject. If one may judge from the present tenour of the debate, the feeling of the nation, as expressed by its representatives, is evidently and entirely with the Government. Indeed if other proof were wanting it would be sufficient to cite an unwitting testimony as to the state of public opinion in France in'the columns of the International, a journal by no means a Govern ment organ. " One sees," says the editor, " a re markable change of opinion in France, and it will be the desire of the middle classes to send to the next Parliament a greater number of negotiants, industriels, and even of artisans d'elit.., instead of the lawyers and newspaper editors, who now bear so large a proportion ou its benches." It is pro bable that the International is in the right, espe cially in regard to the latter class, who wish to mono polize all the good things, whilst doing their best to put down the cheap literature so valuable to the working class.s. Some discussion has taken place on the assertion in the Senate by the Vicomte de Kerveguen relative to the receipts of foreign sub sidies by two of the principal opposition journals ; and although no satisfactory proof of the truth of the accusation has been brought before the jury of honour, nevertheless a sum of 2,000 francs ap pears to have been employed in a somewhat shady manner for the purpose of obtaining newspaper support. The Bank of France remains in the same position with regard to its enormous amount of unemployed capital. The prospect of an approach ing loan appears as yet to produce but little effect. The ordinary speculators of the Bourse are not wanting ; but, unhappily, the suspension of coupons and dividends upon so many enterprises has reduced the class of small capitalists, who used to form an army of lenders, who took for that purpose not only from their superfluities but even from their means of subsistence, counting upon the payment of their dividends for the continuance of their speculations. The near approach of the time when the reports of the various companies will be made is perhaps another reason for the pre sent state of stagnation. Railway shares do not undergo much alteration, seeing that, in order to carry out the less productive lines, the Go vernment has consented to give to the companies guarantees of interest, which leaves intact up to a certain point the dividends of the shareholders, and although it is announced that these conventions will be modified with the view of extending the connect ing lines, the actual dividends will preserve their in tegrity. The Bourse occupies itself at present with the Mexican Bonds, the indemnity on which admitted by the Government, remains to be defini tively fixed by the Legislative Assembly, as also with Tunisian actions submitted at present to a pretended project of conversion, which tends to nothing else than to deprive the shareholders of not only of a part of their revenue, btit of the indemni fication assured to them ; whilst at the same time it does away with the very guarantees upon which indemnification was . based. The Algerian Society's bonds may now be considered as a solid invest ment, being taken under the control of Govern ment. However, with the present assured prospects of peace, it is more than probable that the impri soned angels of the Bank coffers will ere long take wing for the public benefit. The obsequies of the late King Louis the First of Bavaria have been per formed with unusual splendour. Conveyed from Nice, the mortal remains of the monarch have been deposited in the right nave of the Church of St. Boniface at Munich, which was built after the late . King's own designs. The coffin in which the Sovereign sleeps his last sleep is fashioned from a single block of grey tumble dug from the quarries he possessed in Austria ; the upper part of the mausoleum (also designed by himself) is of cubic form without orna ment or inscription of any kind ; the king's heart has been deposited in the princely cathedral of Alt Otingen. the amount of property left by him is estimated at 250 millions of francs. The grand military steeplechases came off on Sunday last at La Marche. The origin of these races, which com menced eleven years ago, was intended as a souvenir of the sports got up in the Crimea, and to afford an opportunity for the reunion of old comrades of both nations. The prize of 5,000 franc; was won by M. Flersheiin, who rode his own hors.., Bon Espoir, giving 4lbs. to Avenay and 41bs. to . Sly Fox, both from the stables of the Duke of Hamilton, the two latter coming in a good second and third. The Selling Stakes were won by Saint Contest beating Dubious and Harriet Watts, whilst the Consolation Stakes fell to Brunette, beating Floreal and a host of others in grand style. No accident of importance occurred during the day. His Highness the Prince Imperial completed his 12th birthday on Monday, the 16th instant. We trust he may see many a re volying year pass to the increase of his own happi ness; as well as that of the great nation whose des tinies he will one day be called upon to rule. The vineyards which produced the most renowned wines of Chatnbertin have been sold for 150,000 francs. Those producing the Clos Vouget are offered at the upset price of two millions. The railways have this week contributed considerably to the amuse ment of the public. In one instance a newly-mar ried couple arrived at the Dijon Station, when, from some unexplained reason, the train started again, leaving the husband behind. The fair bride was not, however, to be so left, and, throwing first her baggage from the window of the carriage, she fol lowed up the movement by opening the door and leaping out. Fortunately no accident followed this rash proceeding, and the officials, being probably melted by the sight of the married lovers locked in each other's arms, forgot to inflict the usual penalty, and the reunited joy fully resuming their journey. In another instance a certain joker travelling from Paris to Rheims was determined to have a whole compartment to him self. In order to effect this, he drew down all the blinds, including the shade of the lamp suspended in the middle of the carriage. On the approach of a ny passenger desirous to enter, our hero, putting forth his head, announced in a.most lugubrious tone of voice, " Conzpartiment des Pompes Fut Ares." This was of course sufficient, and he reached the end of his journey in solitary triumph. The trick, however, being smoked by the officials, a sharp pehalty left our friend to reflect sadly upon the in advisability of future practical jokes upon railways. I do not often venture to signalise any innovation of the Goddess of Fashion, bat the newest and prettiest female ornament appearing as yet but rarely in the shop windows of Paris consists of a very beautiful girdle, made of amber-coloured corded satin, and embroidered with a wreath of leaves in jet. An the article does not appear to be very expensive, I trust the patres familix, or rather faniiliarum, amongst our readers will for once pardon me this little piece of information. LES TITRES DE LA DYNASTIE NAPOLEONIENNC. vox Populi Vox Dci. •. - . We have had the idea of reuniting in the same publica tion the different manifestations of the national will, which, under the two Republics, and under the two Empires, have founded the Napoleonic Dynasty. It his seemed to us that from such a collection, remarkable in an historic point of view, may be derived important political instruction. Since the completion of my weekly letter, a pamphlet has been issued from the Imperial printing establishment - in Paris bearing the above important and interesting designation. Thanks to the kind ness of the talented and obraing Chef du Bureau (Chief Secretary) for the Department of the Foreign Press, M. Ernest Sirouy, a Minister:whose never-failing kindness and attention are vividly appreciated by that body. I have been enabled to procure a copy, not indeed in time to review with that attention which so deeply interesting a publica tion demands, but in time to enable me to offer a few general remarks, and to translate such passage s as appear to me to contain its most salient and im portant points. The pamphlet is generally attri buted to his Majesty in person, and the clear clas sical style in which it is written tends to show that, if not emanating directly from him, it owes at least its inspiration to the master spirit that presides over the destinies of France. The language is pure and plain, the premises historical, the conclusions aptly drawn, and the arguments most convineing. But I proceed to quote, for the personal judgment of the reader, a few of the most striking passages. The opposition at the election of President in 1848 amounted to 1,918,841 votes ; on the 20th of December, 1851, it numbered only 641,351; at the creation of the Empire it was reduced to 253,145. But the most important fact resulting from these statistics is, that in course of half a century the Na poleonic dynasty has on six occasions received the consecration of the national suffrage. Both uncle and nephew have filled up the same historic cycle. Each has, rescued France from an abyss. Thrice received with acclamations, each has arrived at power, the period of which has been speedily lengthened ; and each has seated himself upon 3 throne which he found vae.ant. The Consulate and the Presidency equally terminated. in the Empire. Spectacle unique in history—at fifty years' distance , across the force of so many repressing events, the will of Vie people, like a river which had fOr long time disappeared in the sand, springs up again from the profound depths of society, and resumes , its level of independence and national grandeur. The Plebiscite of 1852 responds as an echo to that of 1804. The four millions of votes which caused the astonishment of historians rise to eight, and he whl was summoned to the Throne in virtue of the Con stitution of the first Empire becomes the Chief of the second, uniting in his person both hereditary and electoral rights. Between 1799 and 1804 Na poleon the First received ten millions of votes. From 1848 to 1852 Napoleon the Third has re ceived twenty millions. -Thirty millions of bulle tins signed by the people of France form the titles of the Napoleonic dynasty. These documents, as we have said above, seem to us worthy of being se lected and compared. We believe them a consequence of the text of the Constitution 'of 1852. At the moment when that constitution, which has been the fundamental compact between the people and the Emperor, becomes the object of at tack, more or less open, and, as it wer e, the rallying point of all the coalitions among the Opposition, it has seemed to us useful to replace it before the eyes of the public, and to recall the cir cumstances under which it was produced. In th e measures which followed the 2d of December, 185 2 1 can be seen that the Prince President, in demand ing from the nation extraordinary powers, did no t confine himself to their exercise simply in the vie ° of remedying a transitory situation, but that he a t the time proposed to it a system of Government per fectly adapted to the permanent wants of the coin' try. He did not consent to undertake the charg e of conducting the destinies of France, unless on th e condition that that system re-entering into th e Consular tradition of the year eight were favourably received by the nation. Never, let us say, Nv 3e condition more clearly defined, never more unani mously accepted. The principles from which th e Constitution was derived were then the result of 3 freely accorded grant. But if the bases be file d ' if they cannot be modified without a plebiscite, the work itself can harmonize with progressiv e ° ameliorations ;it is susceptible of perfection. t he Emperor loudly proclaimed this on the 31st of De cember, 1851, in saying that his intention Wn s to conduct the country to a wise exercise of liberty. Let us add that the decree of t he 24th of November, 1860, and the letter of th e 19th January, 1867, have accomplished that promise' 5 The Constitution of the 14th of January, 185 2 , 1 become, as every one knows, the Constitution ° f the Empire. The change operated in the form 1 ?' government has had the effect of abridging or amen d ; ing many articles no longer in harmony with existing state of affairs. It has appeared to 14 . ' useful to signalize these differences, the jute gence of the reader being capable of supplement ing these indications. As regards m odifle a : tions of another order, they result from differ en decrees of the Senate. As they mark, so to u speak, the steps of the Emperor's Governm ent in the liberal path it has entered, we con fine our' t selves to the particularizing those of the g reat importance, and to the enumeration of the gra n measures which have been th e a l mos t immedi ate consequence. We shall spe a k o f that in case' which has given to journals the right of publishing the debates of the Senate, and allowed the repr°: duction by means of stenography of the discussi° i 4 of the two Chambers; of the sending Ministers to the Chambers by special delegation; of the right of inter', pellation ; of the extensien of the right of amendment in the Corps Legislatif ; of the honour invested 13 . _ 0 the Senate of sending back for fresh examina tion to the Lsgislatif Body those laws which may 3 , 11 ; pear to it defective ; of the voting the budge t ' - '" f grand sections ; of the ceding by the Einner° r 0 v his right to open suppl e ment a ry or extraordi nl 7o credits iu the absence of the Chambers ; °f powers invested in general and municipal coine d ' of the law on the liberty of the press; . the law on coalitions ; and, lastly, of that Nv llle , is now pending at this moment before the L e r lature, and which regards the right of assemble The ensemble' of these dispositions issues (s ° ~h speak) from the sides of that Constitution, lends itself to every liberal movement, and eve in that regard has proved a novelty as daring 0.. f successful. In order to appreciate its liberal ti, racter we have only to compare it with the C° 3 ' er t tutions of preceding monarchies. The E tn f ti pe himself has done this in a passage of his disc at the opening of the Session of 1861. At this 1 3 ,, 0 0 g I take leave with reluctance of this most interes.".o work.
