LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. rumoured in the diplomatic circles that the Empe ror of the French, with the prudence and fore sight for which he is so much distinguished, took a diTerent view of the question from that of most of the persons attached to his court; and, although not disposed to blame M. de Lavalette for the zeal he had displayed, took the first opportunity of making concessions which ought to have removed from the Emperor of Russia every pretext for com plaint. Supposing, however, that Russia was warranted in attributing to the representative of France at Constantinople the difficulties which led to remonstrance, the argument of the Constitution nod, that the concessions made to Russia afterwards, by Turkey, with the consent of the other powers, ought to have put an end to the dissatisfaction of Russia, and to have prevented new demands utterly unconnected with the subject of the Holy Places, is one which no diplomatic subtlety can refute. If the French Government had merited the reproach cast upon it by the Count de Nesselrode, ample sa tisfaction was given to Russia by the recal of M. de Lavalette, and the readiness with which the new French ambassador at Constantinople, in virtue of his instructions, co-operated with the representa tives of the other powers in obtaining from the Sultan new arrangements of a nature to satisfy the honour of the Emperor of Russia to the fullest ex t it. The Constitutionnel says "As an expression of the opinions of the Czar, this document has an incontestable importance, which does not permit us to delay the publication of it. But in giving it to-day we must make our reserves as to the manner in which the facts are there presented and ap preciated. Several passages of this diplomatic docu ment call for observations which we . will present to morrow, and at the same t;*ne we will correct what is erroneous in the ideas expressed, and inexact in the in cidents related. We have specially remarked with sur prise a passage in which the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in Russia, seems, in terminating, to make the origin of Leasing Compans. Closing Prices Yestzrday. Busbies this day. the present difficulties ascend to the French Cabinet. This is an accusation which facts have already denied, since it is known that the special question of the Holy Places was regulated to the satisfaction of all the Go vernments interested, when Prince Menschikoff created much greater difficulties, by bringing forward new pre tensions in the name of the Czar. Until we shall be able to discuss the circular of the Imperial Cabinet of Russia, we must protest against this passage." A letter from St. Petersburgh of the 13th states that the Emperor Nicholas went the day before to visit Cronstadt where the Russian fleet in the Baltic is at present assembled. Cronstadt is about twenty miles from St. Petersburgh. The Por4afoglio Maltese, of the 11th, quotes letters from Trebizond, announcing that the Czar having ordered Lieut. General Wrevsky to attack Schamyl in his capital of Argille, the Circassians saw themselves closely invested on 13th April by 40,000 Russians, and 36 field-pieces. Partial attacks were made by the latter on different points ; but Schamyl, prudently avoiding a general battle, ma nceuvred 1• get the Russians in such a position as to close up their retreat and prevent their ad vance, and succeeded completely. He then attacked them on all sides, and routed them with great havoc, 23 guns and an immense quantity of pro visions falling into his hands. Five battalions of Poles and irregular troops went over to the Circas sians on that occasion, and Schamyl subsequently issued a proclamation, declaring that Russian de serters are henceforward to receive his protection. The German Journal of Frankfort has the fol lowing from Berlin, dated the 18th :—" We learn that, as regards the notes, which our Government has sent to the Cabinets of London and St. Peters burgh, the neutrality recommended by the Presi dent of the Council is strictly observed, although it has not responded entirely to the views of the Russian Cabinet. M. de Radowitz and M. de Gerlach both declared against this system of neutrality, but with this difference, that the for mer thought it useful to adhere to the coalition on the Eastern question, while the latter wished that the demands of Russia should be recognised as well founded, and that Prussia should even sup port them." The Cologne Gazette, under date of Vienna 18th, says :—" Lord Carlisle, who arrived here a few days since from London, on his way to Constantinople on a privato mission, left yesterday for Pesti'. Lord Carlisle is said to be the bearer of defilitive instructions to Lord Stratford de Redcliffe." Loudon & N. West. Gt.Westn Do Do Do L. kN. W Caledon Gt.Nrthn. Gt. Westu' Yk. Now. & Bony. Y.

The following decree of the Emperor, dated yes terday, appears in the Moniteur : " Considering that the calm and security which reign in the country permit the suppression of the Ministry of General Police, the institution of which was founded on exceptional circumstances, we have decreed and do de cree as follows : "Art. 1. The Ministry of General Police is sup. pressed. " Art. 2. The attributions of the Ministry of General Police are again added to those of the Minister of the Interior." In consequence of the suppression of the Minis try of Police, the Emperor has decreed that there shall be established at the Ministry of the Interior a Direction of Sfirete Generale, and appoints M. Collet-Meygret, Prefect of the Aube, to be the di rector. Other decrees of the same date raise M. de Maupas, the Minister of Police, to the dignity of Senator ; M. Latour-Dumoulin, director of the press, to the grade of officer of the Legion of Honour. Another decree confers the decoration of chevalier of the Legion of Honour on M.Theblin, chef du cabinet of the Minister of Police. We read in the Alontiteur :—" The Emperor has decided that the Ministry of Agriculture and Com merce shall be re-established, and that the present attributions of the Ministry of Public Works shall be attached to it. This new ministerial depart ment is to be confided to M. Magne." The same journal states that M. de Maupas, the Minister of Police, will be speedily appointed to a diplomatic post. _ . - The Minister of War has appointed a commission of superior officers, under the presidency of General Count Schramm, to pass the final examinations of the pupils of the Ecole Imperiale Speciale Militaire. " It is intended," says the Patric, " shortly to make the troops of Satory give the representation of an attack on Versailles, by night, as if it were a hostile city." A telegraphic despatch announces that Marshal de St. Arnaud had arrived on Monday at Sarre- Louis on his way to Sarrebruck, and would most probably return to Paris on the evening of Wed nesday. The funeral obsequies of the late Mgr. Gari baldi, the Pope's Nuncio, took place yesterday at Notre-Dame. For the last three days the body of his Eminence had been exposed, covered with his archiepiscopal ornaments, in the midst of a chapelle ardente at the residence of the deceased, in the Rue d l'Universite. Masses were each morning said by the side of the body, and on Monday, funeral services were celebrated in all the chapels of the religious houses for the repose of the soul of the deceased. In the evening of that day the body was placed in a leaden coffin, and then in one of oak, covered over with purple velvet. The monks of La Trappe de la Meilleraye have addressed a letter to the Emperor expressing their deep sense of gratitude to his Majesty for his bene volence in furnishing them with money for the pay ment of the transfer duty which devolved on them in consequence of the death of their superior, Father Maxime, and which amounted to 18,032 fr. 82c. _ _ The Phare de la Manche states that the greatest activity prevails in the dockyard at Cherbourg, where the Austerlitz mixed line-of-battle ship of 100 guns, and the Alceste 52-gun frigate are being got ready for sea. It was also reported that the Clorinde and Bellone frigates, and the Phlegeton steam corvette were to be immediately fitted out. The Constitutionnel, after quoting the above, says : —" We may add, that in order to expedite the fitting out of the Austerlitz, which has only been a few months off the stocks, a large number of me chanicians have been sent from Indret to Cherburg in order to fit up her engines, It is thought that the three line-of-battle ships now fitting out at Cherburg and Brest, together with some sailing and steam frigates, will form a Channel squadron, which in case of need will act with the English squadron under Admiral Corry, as the Levant fleet acts with that under Admiral Dundas." At the Bourse yesterday a general decline in prices took place, its further progress apparently being only arrested by the termination of business. The final quotations were :—For cash, Three per Cents., 76f. 60c. ; Four-and-a-Half ditto, 101 f. ; for the account, Three per Cent:,., 76f. 30c. ; Four and-a-Half per Cents. ditto, 101 f. 20c. ; Bank Stock, 2,665 f. Shares of the Mortgage Bank re mained without variation, being still quoted at 705 f. Those of the SocieL6 Mobiliere fell 5f., the last quotation being 780 f. At the Railway Share Market yesterday business was generally dull, and we have to report a decline in the shares of nearly all the principal lines ; in Paris and Lyons and Paris and Rouen Shares to the extent of 10f., and from 2f. to sf. in the remainder. Closing prices : Northern, 878 f. ; Paris and Orleans, 1,046 f ; Paris and Strasbourg, 890 f. ; Paris and Lyons, 890 f. ; P Iris and Rouen, 990 f. ; Lyons to the Mediterra nean, 715 f ; Western, 710 f. ; Rouen and Hawe, 565 ; Bordeaux and Cette, 615. TURKEY. A private telegraphic dispatch from Trieste, dated yesterday, announces the arrival, on the 13th, of the British and French fleets in the Bay of Besika. At Constantinople the armaments con tinued. The late events at Constantinople have produced a profound sensation throughout Arabia. The numbers of pilgrims that are assembled at Mecca, and all the native tribes, wait but the signal to commence the war. Religious fanaticism bas reached the highest point. The prices of grain have risen, owing to extensive purchases which have been made for the Russian fleet and army. On the evening of the 6th the Mussulman fast of the Ramadan commenced, during which time, as it is well known, all good Mussulmans abstain from eating, drinking, or smoking, from sunrise to sun set, after which they make up for their abstinence by feasting and merrymaking. This fast, most painful to the lower orders, who keep it strictly, and have to labour in the sun besides, sits lightly on those of higher rank, who sleep during the greater part of the day, and do but little business during the rest. The important city of Smyrna, the second port of the Ottoman Empire, has now been nearly four years practically in a state of siege. The inhabitants cannot go, as formerly, to spend the hot months of the summer in the neighbouring vil lages, nor can any one with safety walk half an hour beyond the walls. The besieging army consists of about a score of clever desperauoes, headed by a certain " Yani Katurgi," or John the Muleteer, a sort of Rob Roy, who levies black m a il on the neigh bouring villages, and frGm the mountain heights watches the movements of the caravan or rich tra veller. Muleteer John has a well-organised band of spies in the city, and when any wealthy mer chant or banker strays somewhat out of bounds he is pounced upon and carried to the hills, where he has to remain ill-fed and lodged, and otherwise un comfortable until terms of ransom are agreed upon. This accident happened about a year ago to the Dutch Vice-Consul, who was seized in his own .our den, and carried off, nor was he restored to his family until a large sum had been paid as ransom. The Sultan refunded him the money, but others who can less afford to lose their cash have been obliged to raise the ransom on their own resources. A few days ago a new exploit was recorded of this bold freebooter. The General Assembly of the Island of Samos sent a deputation of three of the principal inhabitants of the island to Constantinople with the annual tribute, amounting to 1,0001. The deputation landed on the coast of Asia, and pro ceeded on their road to Smyrna. When neat the village of Ghiaourkeni, five men, armed with double barrelled guns, pounced upon them, seized and tied their hands behind them, after which they pro ceeded to the boat, of which they took possession, having secured the sailors. Towards the close of the day they disembarked with the prisoners, sailed to a desert point of the Island of Samos, and sent one of the deputies to his friends to say that if 1,0001. were not paid at a certain place within three days, the other prisoners would be put to death. We have not yet heard of the result of this affair, but if the poor Greeks escape without paying ran som they w:11 be the first who have done so. The exploits of Yard Katurgi's band would make a very interesting addition to the lives of freebooters, but the moral of the story is comprised in the fact that for years a small band of robbers can perform, un molested, feats of this kind, and hold the second city of the Empire in a state of blockade. Some of the Paris journals of yesterday did not publish the circular of Count Nesse?rode, but pro mise to give it. The journals, which do give it, abstain, with one exception, from comment. The exception to which we allude is the Constitutionnel, but we are not able to judge from the little that is said by this journal, what view the French Govern ment takes generally of the document. For the present, the Constitutionnel confines itself to reply ing to a reproach against Fiance of having been the first to disturb the good understanding between Russia and Turkey, by demanding and obtaining from the latter concessions and privileges on the subject of the Holy Places, which were at variance m ith the principles on what that question had be fore been treated. The, Constitutionnel denies that the charge against France is well founded. There may, perhaps, be more foundation than the Constitutionnel admits for the argument of Count Nesselrode as regards the question of the Holy Places. We i - e:rember yell that, even at the moment when sore of the Minis , terial journals were boasting of the influence of France at Constantinople on this subject, it was GERMANY. The Debats says—"We learn from a good source that the rumours which have for some time past been spread regard;ng negotiations for a new Aus trian loan have no sort of foundation." Several journals of Vienna having spoken of a payment which Austria had to make to Russia on 31st July next, the Austrian Correspondence con tradicts the statement, and rays that the last pay ment was made several months ago. Changes are about to take place in the Berlin press. The Prussian Moniteur will be increased in size, and the Prussian Gaze,::,e will, it is said, cease to appear, and be replaced by the Temps. A letter from Berlin states that "rom Ist Janu ary, 1854, the duties on foreign wines will be con siderably reduced in Prussia. Several Prussian Chambers of Commerce have begged the 1111 , iistry to profit by the increase in the relations with F..-auce to conclude with her a treaty of commerce, a•id permission has also been demanded for authorira tion to import bronze articles from France, which have been hitherto prohibited. SPAIN. The Madi id journals of the 17th contain no news of interest. The Gc ,:ette publishes a royal decree removing Don Manuel Lassala f!om the post of Governor of the Province of Barcelona, and ap points Don Melchor Ordonez as Civil Governor, with a commission to assist in the new organisation of the Province. The Queen has expressed her desire to see the Cabinet complete previous to her departure for La Granja. The Three per Cents. were at 44!. AUSTRALIA. The latest advices received from the Australian colonies extend to the 23d March inclusive, by a vessel arrived at Madras, but the intelligence con veyed to this country is of a somewhat irregular character ; this is the more to be regretted, as it has often occurred that very late news has been received both from New South Wales and the colony of Victoria by similar opporturities. There are also accounts to the 14th March by way of New York. The general state of trade at Sydney is re presented as very active, and the market for most kinds of imports very firm. The yield of gold had declined, but it is aceountedfor by the adoption by the Legislature of the act to " regulate the raising of a revenue from the gold mines of New South Wales." The effect of this measure was to create great dissatisfaction and disorder at the nr; ues and to very considerably decrease the population, many thousands of whom had left for the neighbouring colony of Victoria. It will, if pers;sted in, says the Empire, drive all foreigners ::•om the New South Wales dig g ings, and deter the colonists and British immigrants from the enterprise, or induce them to step over the boundary to the still more tempting diggings of Victoria, where a similar law does not exist. The chief points of this law deemed so aggressive are these : " Under pretext of preventing runaway servants from digging, it empowers the authorities to demand from every one proofs that lie is not an absconder, and to imprison him until he can produce such proofs, and all this without any one to bring against him a complaint. It thus, contrary to the whole spirit of British law, throws on the innocent party the onus probandi of his innocence, and deems him guilty without proof of guilt. This is one of the offensive provisions. Another is, that it requires every adult male remain ing in any district proclaimed as a gold field, unless engaged in pastoral or agricultural pursuits, or in tua nelling, to take out a licence, as if lie were a digger, of 30s. a month, every male being reckoned adult above 14 years of age—so that all persons carrying on any kind of trade in the township must not only pay licences for themselves, but for every one in their employ. And it empowers the authorities to fine or imprison all such persons found on the ground who have not taken out a licence. The effect is to prevent enterprise, and to raise the cost of necessaries, so as to make digging, to the great majority, a profitless labour. And a third objec tionable clause is one that makes the fee double to a foreigner, and puts the onus probandi upon every person who may be accused of being such." With regard to the general effects produced by this law, a local paper observes : " The diggers are abandoning their work by thousands, and retreating to Victoria, rather than hazard an illegal collision. Meanwhile, the splendour of recent discove ries in that quarter is enough of itself to effect a power ful revolution in the minds of the laboui Ing class, in favour of that colony ; and were other things equal, there would soon be very little labour left in New South Wales ' • and the concoctors of those mischievous measures would bitterly suffer the fruits of their own folly. However, the excessive appetite for gold in Vic toria has produced a state of things there extremely dis astrous to the public and social well-being. The im mense rush of immigration has found the colony unpre pared by wise measures for its reception. The employ ment at the mines, rich as the production is, adds nothing either to the necessary sustenance or to the comfort of the colony. Agriculture and other agricul tural pursuits are ill cared for. The Government is weak and incapable. The squatting occupancy shuts uy the land. The result is, that there is at Melbourne a large floating population, of whiehit would be hard to say whether it belongs to the colony or not. We are told, says the Empire, that there are thousands of per sons at the city, living in tents, for the site of each of which the Government charges a ground rent of five shillings a week. The price of labour and mat er i a l being exorbitant, building is rendered next to impossible. Nor is the spirit of Victoria legislation any improvement upon our own. They, too, act upon the principle of throwing the onus probandi upon parties unaccused „ otherwise th an by cons t a bl es and' magistrates." The general progress of the colony, however, was favourable. All articles of consumption main tained good prices, and the prices of colonial pro duse and stock were more remunerative. But tne Empire observes : "It is not quite easy to give a fair estimate of the commercial prospects of the present moment, when the cause of the recent progression has been so strangely tampered with. The Government recently exulted in the expectation of a large revenue from the gold mines, for 1853, and placed the valuation of the licences and royalties, which was considered very much be neath the probability, at 1 00,0001., with an addition of 110,0001. for escort and conveyance. It would be hazardous now to form an , opinion of the injury which these expected sums will have sustained from the opera tions of the ill-judged Gold Act. There is every reason to believe that it will operate most disastrously upon the gold revenue, and it cannot fail to produce some effect even upon the general revenue, for the quantity of mer chandise consumed at the diggings was becoming im mense. The goose and golden egg again ! It is always best to keep bungling hands from machinery which re quires skill to mind it. If military , must be supported to secure the licences, the profits of the undertaking are not a little doubtful. " The moral and religious aspects of the colony do not vary from month to month. Immigration has done nothing yet to elevate the people. The female immi gration is strangely absorbed, and the comfort of families does not keep pace with the quantity of young women imported. There is some error in the management of this matter, which deprives the colony of any sensible advantage from the acquisition. A few only appear to be of a class able and disposed to live to some useful purpose. The gold has produced a deleterious effect upon the industrious inclinations even of young females. They are not willing to commit themselves to industry for support, and to learn all that is requisite to make them honourable members of society. " The state of crime is inauspiaious. Although far better off than our neighbours, we are reaping the fruits of the loose convictism of Van Diemen's Land, and of the cupidity and profligacy produced by the speculating tendencies of the time. Outrages are becoming some what alarmingly frequent, and are accompanied with a ferocity most appalling. Yet, were the state of education in advance, we should entertain no fear of these symptoms. The thing to be deplored is, that the young are, to a large extent, growing up abandoned in morals, from the utter want of that domestic training without which mere school education will he nearly in vain. The state of education is fearfully bad. Moral discipline is everywhere at fault—the result of which will be, without speedy amendment, that the next gene. ration will be one of vastly augmented profligacy and crime. There is enough in the prospect to awaken the deepest solicitude for the future." The same journal appears to be discouraged by the at present imperfect state of the steam commu nication with England by way of the Cape of Good Hope. The experiments, it remarks, have as yet been uniform failures, for which an extra 60 per cent, upon the postal charges is levied. AFFAIRS OF CANADA. QUEBEC, JUNE 8. Quebec has again been disgraced by an Irish riot. Father Gavazzi, the Italian orator, accepted the invitation tendered him a few days ago by several leading citizens, and delivered a lecture in the Wesleyan Church last week. On Monday he was to deliver a second, on " The Ancient and Modern Inquisition," and some time before the eloquent padre entered the building—the new free kirk—it was filled by a very respectable audience, of which, perhaps, ladies constituted a majority. Groups of suspicious-looking individuals were noticed both in the church and in the neighbourhood ; but as one of the Catholic papers had given a hint of what might be expected from " les Irlandais, qui n'euten dent pas raillerie au sujet de leur foi," it was con fidently believed that the public were well pre pared to quell any disturbance. The padre was heard in silence for nearly an hour. Then, as he made some allusion to the intolerance and des potism of the Irish priesthood, a man in the crowd called out, "That's a lie !" others chorused, "Put him out !" and a scene of disorder commenced which it is no easy matter to describe. Showers of stones were thrown from outside, breaking the windows, and scattering terror and injury among the audience. A band of ruffians rushed into the church, without molestation from the police. The foremost made for the pulpit where Gavazzi stood, and one fellow mounted the stairs. He was instantly seized by the Italian and thrown over the reading desk. Disengaging himself from his robe, the padre then grasped the pulpit chair, and with it felled three or four others who endeavoured to scale his stronghold. It was a memorable sight to witness the coolness and undaunted bravery with which the Italian defended himself singly against his assailants. The conflict would, however, have been but brief, had not a serjeant of artillery, named Lawson, and Gavazzi's secretary, forced their way through the crowd to the assistance of the preacher. For a space of twenty minutes these three held some sixty wild Irishmen at bay. En furiated at the failure of their efforts, a reinforce- ment of several hundreds of the rioters were sent for, and quickly made their way to the scene of ac tion. Pao]i, the secretary, first fell. Gavazzi— who had continued to deal terrible blows with his stool, as the wretches assailed him, shouting, "Let us murder him in the church !"—was seized by the legs, and thrown from the pulpit into the crowd below. Here he was trampled under foot. The throng was too dense for his assailants to use their sticks, and after escaping death by a miracle, he contrived to crawl to the staircase which leads to the vaults, and to effect a retreat by that issue. During the whole of the melee a desultory fight was carried on between the male portion of the audience and the rioters. Several gentlemen, among whom it is only right that I should mention Mr. Buchanan (the emigration agent), Sheriff Sewell, William D. Campbell, and others, fought manfully, and were severely injured. No lives were lost. Englishmen may perhaps be disposed to inquire what the police were doing during the battle. The question can easily be answered. They were col lected outside the church, apparently enjoying the scene, and, like Sosie of memorable renown, " pre nant courage pour nos gens qui so battaient." The stipendary magistrate—an Irishman and a Catholic unfortunately sprained his ankle early in the even ing, and was engrossed in applying lotions to the wounded limb. Gavazzi reached his hotel in safety, left Quebec the next day, and is now in Montreal, where very similar scenes are being enacted by the Irish popu lation of our sister city. The Irish mob, after leaving the church they had assailed, proceeded to the Parliament House, and called for Mr. Brown, M.P.P., who has rendered himself peculiarly ob noxious to them by his strong anti-Catholic opinions. Mr. Brown declined their invitation to " come out that they might do for him," and they dispersed, with a few mild threats of burning the houses of some leading Protestants, and " reveng ing" the wrong done to them by the defenders of Gavazzi. As might be expected, great excitement per vades the city. A parliamentary commission has been appointed to inquire into the outrage, and is now sitting. Irishmen do not affect to conceal their satisfaction at the riot, and their regret that the padre escaped with his life. Many of the English have armed themselves, and if a second outbreak takes place, much bloodshed will ensue. I hardly anticipate it, however. Irish mobs in Canada sel dom show fight when their adversaries are prepared to meet force with force. They are prodigiously brave when the enemy is a single individual, or a church full of women and children ; but a fair fight on equal terms with men is not to their taste. The only comment I will venture on the above is a single allusion to the antecedents of the rioters. In 1849, when the cholera was in Quebec, the same men, with the same leaders, attacked and gutted the only hospital that existed in Champlain ward. In 1850 and 1851 the same men, with the same leaders, destroyed on several occasions the shipping offices that were established to put a stop to the crimping system. In December, 1851, the same men, with the same leaders, attempted to capture the polls at the election here, and were only pre vented by the determined resistance of the French Canadians. The perpetrators of these outrages are well known. Not one of them as ever been brought to trial. And though several of the rioters on Monday have been arrested, it is well known that they will escape, as no jury can be empa nelled without Irishmen, and no Irishman will find them guilty. Parliamentary news in my next. Parliament is expected to adjourn on or about the 16th. The following is Gavazzi's own account of the affray : " LETTER FROM FATHER GAVAZZI TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK L'ECO D'ITALIA. " Quebec, Canada, June 8, 1853. " Dear Friend—l only write a few particulars of the shocking case which happened the day before yesterday ; you will perceive it more amply described in the papers I send, you. I will begin by saying that the appear ance or the assailants was most despicable, for they came dirty, torn, and in their shirt-sleeves, the better to show their origin. It was their aim to secure me alive, in order to murder me without the kill me ebut withinne not h tahve churchng church. c i d a e n d y , w t 1 e i e r y e when they had led to attemptedbel i e t v o eit, by repeated blows felled Paoli to the ground ; for believing him to be me, they said one to another, This is the very man.' Another scheme of theirs was to blow out the lights, by turning the gas keys, for by sc doing, from their concerted plan, they would have more easily succeeded in getting possession of me, seizing at the same time every one present, mostly ladies and children But man proposes, and God disposes, It RAILWAYS.

Having rid myself of my fi rs t assailahteby .3 '4 throwing him over the pulpit, I took o ff m y c l oa k, etuot e rgcl" brandishing the chair which had served me as an orator, I defended my post as a true Italian crusader. I think that many of this gang will remember for sonic time this passage of the Italian missionary's lecture. Hav ing a pulpit about twelve feet wide. with the stens exposed facing the church, and compelled to defend it against more than sixty savages—was rather adi licult task. An artillery sergeant—who now enjoys the sympathy of all parties--to the great shame of the policemen (who were standin g by spectators), leaped from these stai rs , andsuc csedt ain defending with me my citadel. After the first attack, Pesti, who was at the church door, was enabled to reach the stairs ; and, having snatched a stick from one of the assailants hands, used it in every direction, and we were enabled to retain the liberty of our platform for more than twenty-five minutes. " But again a gang of the outward assailantn to the number of more than seven hundred, rushed int the churel . This is owing to another unpardonable in s ske of the police ; the stairs and parapet were assaulted with renewed violence. The artillery sergeant, feeling his equilibrium fail, clung to Paoli, who, amid the great throng of assailants, could no longer manoeuvre his stick, meanwhile, two of the savages had seized Paoli to over throw bins from the stairs ;he cried out to me, Gavazzi, help me.' I abandoned the front of the pulpit, and a desperate blow of the bench which I held in my hands, fell upon the head of one of the two assassins, which caused him to bound from the stairs. I was returning to the front, while some other assassins having gained the ground I had abandoned to save my friend, lifted me from my feet and precipitated me headlong out of the pulpit, from a height of more than fifteen feet. " This was to have been the hour of my death, and could have been. The falling with such violence might have sufficed to crush my skull ; but God was there to protect his poor, but confident servant. 1 fell on a floor of enemies' heads and shoulders, and it was afterwards said that as I was of iron disposition, I weighed also as iron itself ; but I sustained no wound from my fall. The crowd then dispersing, I found myself stretched cit on the ground, with :legion of savages over me, overjoyed at being able to slay me. I then received a kick on my chin, which has produced a sli g ht woun d, an d a con tusion on the jaw ; as the great crowd prevented the use of sticks; they endeavoured to supply it with their feet. I perceived that nothing but a gigantic effort could save me, and I employed it accordingly. I rose in spite of them, and by blows open e d a p assage to t h e staircase which leads to the subterraneous place where the Sunday schools are, and, having met assassins on the stairs, I overcame them. The last, who from his size impedel my passage as it were a barricade, and threatened me with his large stick, calling me by the vilest names, I very coolly rolled down the stairs, and jumping over him reached the entry of the Sunday school. " Fortunately the school was dark ; having examined it in the morning I became acquainted with its struc ture. I took the left path, among an innumerable quantity of bench, while the savages, who were still pursuing me, were obliged to delay before they could reach the door. It was then I heard the cry of Paoli, God help me,' which led me to believe that lie was assaulted and beaten again by the assassins. Being left . half dead, lie would have been killed by the people had • not an unforeseen hand conveyed him to the subter raneons- school, where he found himself, as it were, miraculously saved from a certain death. After five or six minutes of fatal suspense, sense one of the police came. The lights were again lit, but this did not prevent the assailants from breaking all the windows of the school, • by throwing large stones, one of which hit Paoli on the breast while Dr. Douglas was examining his wounds, But fortunately the military arrived and the assassins were dispersed Paoli , Was the first to be led home. I followed him in a coach, with the mayor of the city, and . all the street was protected by strong patrols. On ex amining our bodies it was discovered that poor Paoli had received eight wounds from sticks, one of which is . • six inches long. I was found to have a wound on my • head from a stone, and another on the occiput from the blow of a club. They, however, gave me no pain, as I contrived to let them bleed as much as possible. How ever, I have suffered nothing, and am as well now as on my setting out from New York. But the sensation experienced from this brutal as sault results contrary to what the assailants had expected. There is no Catholic Canadian who -does not disapprove of this outrage. It is to be observed that the assault - had been organised, consequently a premeditated mur der. The most aggravating circumstances are of having • attacked a church in which women and children were assembled, and to which the men had hastened unarmed. But who, then, could have conceived, organised, and led so infamous a scheme ? . __________ • • • • "Sunday, please God, we will gather together at our. Italian service in New York, and I shall feel overjoyed in seeing anew my brethren, after having escaped the death of my assassins. " Meanwhile remember me to them all, and believe me to be your very affectionate friend, " ALESSANDRO GAVAZZI." At Montreal the disorders assumed the shape of a riot, and we regret to say that various lives were lost. After what had, occurred at Quebec, Gavazzi cannot be too severely censured for attempting to lecture at Montreal. The Montreal Herald, of June 10, contains the following particulars of . the riot and melancholy loss of life at Father Glavazzi's anti-Catholic lecture, at Zion Church, on the pro. ; ceding evening : "As advertised, Signor Gavazzi met a numerous au----- dience in Zion Church, at half-past six o'clock p.m, yes terday. Many of our most respectable citizens with their families were present. About half-past seven o'clock we went to the door of the church, where we found Captain Ermatinger with a strong posse of police, some twenty or thirty men. At this time, and for about half an hour after, g rou p s o f wild, ragged-looking men were assembled around the door of the church and at different points between the church and M`Gill-street. We mixed freely among these people, and conversed with more than one of those who were considered the leaders of the Irish Catholic party. We were assured by them that they had only come to the ground to use their.in fiuence to prevent a disturbance, and that we might rest satisfied the lecture would pass off quietly. We were not, however, satisfied with the aspect o f affairs, and remained on the ground. At about a quarter to eight o'clock, a band of ruffians, we learn— for, although in sight, we were at too great a distance to see more than a general melee had taken place—attacked and overpowered the police (Captain Ermatincrer receiv ing a severe wound on the head), and proceeded to force their way into the church, from which a body of 15 or 20 repulsed them, several shots from guns and pistols • being fired from both sides. The assaulting party were effectually routed • two or three of th e i r num b er were left dead or severely wounded on the ground, but were shortly afterwards removed in cars by their friends. Soon after this occurrence, a company of the 26th Came ronians marched from Craig-street, and were drawn up between the engine -house and that street. All seemed perfectly quiet, and remained so until about a quarter past eight o'clock, at about which time the lecture was concluded, and the audience inside the church had be gun to leave for home. At this time the troops were marched across Craig-street, and took their position in two lines, across Radayonde-street—one line nearly op posite Zion Church, and the other some hundred paces nearer Craig-street. A good deal of hooting and noise [, prevailed at, this time, and on the M‘Gill-street side of Craig-street„ some disturbance with the lowest line of troops occurred, and two or three shots were fired; in other respects, all seemed peaceable. "We were, at this time, at the corner of St. James street and .M.‘Gill-street, and had a clear and distinct view of the troops, and of the people in their immediate vicinity. There we saw no violence on the part of the mob—nothing, indeed, but the people hurrying from the church—when, to our utter astonishment, we heard and saw the troops fire two distinct running volleys among the apparently, to us, peaceable citizens. Thinking it high tune to attend to our own safety, we beat a rapid retreat from this apparent scene of wanton and uncalled for slaughter. We were too far off to speak personally of the conduct of the mayor and officers, by whose or ders they were directed to fire, but if we are correctly informed by those who were on the spot, there was no thing whatever to justify so rash and cowardly a pro ceeding. We must not, however, prejudge their con duct en the occasion, but the blood of those who fell calls loudly for a prompt investigation into every circum stance connected with the melancholy affair, and, ap parently at least, wanton massacre. " The l'ollowing, so far as we have been able to ascertain, is a complete list of the killed and wounded :—Peter Gillespie, clerk in Mr. Johnson's store, shot through the head with a musketball, and mortally wounded, although alive when we left (since reported dead) ; E. Crosby, " clerk, a relative of Mr. Tyre, of Tyre, Calquehon, and Co., shot through the heart, and died instantly ; James Hutchinson, cousin of Mr. Hutchinson, builder, killed ; Mr. Adams, son of the city Councillor, shot through the lungs, and mortally wounded ; Mr. J. O'Neil, shot through the body, and expected to recover ; Master Wallace, a lad of 14 years of age, severely wounded; Mr. Clark, bookkeeper at W. Lyman and Co.'s, shot through the foot with a musket ball ; Mr. Hibburt, of Long Point, also shot through the foot with a musket ball ; a lad, the nephew Mr. Joseph McKay, of St. Paul-street, th a e m leg us ; k 3 e f t r. ba P ll at ; ri m ck r G .

Many others, whose names we could not learn, were more or less is jurod. At the time we write all is quiet in the city, There is a strong guard of the 26th Regiment at 5t..., Lawrence Hall and at the mayor's residence, and tbs.: streets are patrolled by mounted artillerymen." - MONTREAL, June 10, Noon. All is now quiet, but another disturbance is expected to-night. Seven persons were killed last evening, and six m or t a ll y woun d e d ; two were otherwise injured. There is much excitement here.
