Larkin. Esq., reported upon, as after mentioned, to contain ;1,3:100 acres in extent, and to possess extensive gold-bearing quartz 3 and auriferous deposits, and gold washings, and to be well 'glinted for agricultural purposes. iae property is described as being situated on the west bank of i t r , Feather River, which is a tributary of the Great Sacramento ~..° , ert and to be at a distance of about f 95 miles by water communi- Cluon from San Francisco. The Sacramento is at all times naviga ile for steamers ; and it is stated that, during a greater portion of t i tle Year, vessels can navigate the Feather River up to the property. title estate is freehold, and the vendors guarantee an indisputable e, free from incumbrances. j udged mineral importance and value of the property will be best of by the following extract irgm the report of the Surveyor, Nicholas Gray, Esq., who, in September, 1852, surveyed it as an officer un der orders from the United States Government. fter giving a L i tailed description of each lot, ho sums up his report as follows I , "I class the whole estate, containing 2 1 ,6 56 70-100 acres, as mi tral land. Gold is found from the bottom of the smallest gully to summit of the highest mountain on the la rd, in the soil as in the quartz reek. Some indications of iron are to be observed at the Booth -west corner of the Table Mountain. Quicksilver has been dis 'uvered in the same vicinity, and I have been informed by men of ver acity that a few diamonds have also been dug from the s l o p e of e same mountain. The . whole front of the estate on Feather c:lver is about 24 miles. taking its meanders, and I believe the trgold aPnEC quartz rack is to be found all along the bank of that seam, I . extending back generally two or three miles. By reference to t l„Q " • ° the map you have all the pr inci p al p oints laid down of quartz s„„ . rich diggings, BDe-" Further important details will be found in the accom p an y in g a po ° e l tMent and map of the property; and other p articulars of an `in teresting nature respectPts this extensive territory may be inspected • at the office of the Company. • _ I kr.

These Mr. Lrkin forwarded to L ondon for anals sis, and the result of that analysi a s, as given in the Mendix, shows that with careful management a large return for the C apital invested may be reasonably expected from the Company's .7/ling operations. The working capital of 100,0001., Paving the remainder for pur catA the eperi T it w on i s li, i t ? is anticipatedrbe amply sufficient to conduct er t e h e c ti Company; rid it is intended to expend the came chiefly pnLepae'retnyslavnedcefnZarel reducing for grinding etr the auriferous quartz on the the gold from its Matrices, whether sands, earths, n o g r aqndartz. extracting Most complete, perfect, and economical manner; and also in en couraging farmers to settle upon the property, whose rents would he commensurate with its valne and location, and who would in no Way interfere with the extraction of its mineral riches. The venders have agreed to sell the property at a price one-half of Which is included in the present capital. and the remaining half 13 to be pad when the ca p ital is increased to £500,000, and when dividends to the amount of 20 per cent. have been paid to the Shareholders as 'before m entioned. The entire p rice to be thus p a id i n mollies is probably no t one-hundredth part of the me r e value of the gold to be extracted from the lands, independently of .their fitness and eligibility for cultiva,ion , and the company have been met with the greatest fairness by the vendors, who do not seek t o be paid for the estate, except a deposit of 5 per cent on one moiety tbe purchase money, until an English sus veyor, nominated by the 3 / 1 , Gard of Supervision, shall have examined the estate, reported upon Price per declared it to be in accordance with the prospectus.

The Board will be prepared to make sales and ant leases of portions of the Feather River Estate. The Board of Supervision believe that they indulge in no exagge ration when expressing their conviction that the estate fairly put to Rork to its full capabilities will, for many years, an nuall y yield as d i vidend—what may reasonably be expecte d from all succes fill gold 7: ll Panies—at least 10 per cent. on the entire capital besides ss_ llll ses The investment in the shares mus:;, therefore, be equal to that • offered by any other company, either in Australia or California.

After he has withdrawn part one year he, can, by a single payment, three years, or any time afterwards. ra. lee his policy to a greater or even its former amount ; and by this s 3 'stem he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual el :pendlture, with the facility in the uargain of having a fund to fly to LI case of necessity, th e same as in a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets Inte rest fur his money, and in case of depth his family receive more than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices be can do no such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current premim us, and, instead of having any fund to Ily to for aid, all his hard-earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his more fortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of. ssurance which can be universally recognised and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It c onfers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a fair rate of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in case of death, thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the ionnosix system are still more striking.

LONDON, AFFAIRS OF BIJSINESS.—In every affair of trade, buying or selling, equality and prices, are the condi tions of satisfactory contract. The superior quality of all goods offered to public inspec ion, or made t• order by E. MOSES and SON, is so well known, and has been so long tried, that very little need be said on that subject ; but the unity of low prices, and the very best qualities, is a system of business which E. MOSES and SON were the that to introduce, and have been the most successful in carrying out. This they have made applicable to every branch of their gigantic business, and have adhered to it during all changes in the seasons or the markets. They have never hesitated to pay the best prices for the most artistic and accomplished workmanship— hut they will by no means inflict higher charges on any of their pa trons. The LADIES are furnished with HABITS the most graceful in style, and from the finest and most fashionable materials, or with HOSIERY, the neatest, most novel, and useful.

CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against.imposition, having learned that the untradesinan-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establialunant," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have N• CONNEXION WITH ANT OTHER HOIRDI IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows t London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157.

Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting a their bitterness may be remover), and how the evil and its con.equences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely fed of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of Tears been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department if practice, he has been amply rem arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

The principles' of the HYGEIAN or mORISONIAN SYSTEM are contained in the f dlowing propositions:- 1. The vital principle is iu the blood. 2. Everything in the body is derived f om the blood. 3. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases arise from impurity of the blood, or, in other words, from act hnonious humours lodged in the body. 5. Pain and diocese have the same origin, and may therefore be considered synonymous. 6. From the intimate connexion subsisting between mind and body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the other. 7. Proper purgation by vegetables is the only effectual mode of eradicating d,se..se. 15. The discovery of a vegetable compound, capable of being di gested, and mixing with the blood, so as to Impart to it that energy requisite for ridding the body of alt impurities, was a desideratum. 16.

AT a numerous and highly respectable MEET ING of MERCHANTS and TRADERS of the CITY of i.oNDON, held at the London Tavern, on Monday, the 14th March, 1853, ( JOHN MASTERMAN, Esq., M.P., in the Chair, was proposed by J. Horsley Palmer, Esq ; seconded by Samuel Gregson, Esq , That in the opinion of this Meeting the present duty of 2s. 21 4 d. per lb. on tea, or from 200 to 250 per cent., is a most oppressive tax upon an article of universal consumption, I.llich enhances the price so considerably as seriously to limit the demand; and that such is directly opposed to the established commercial policy of this coun try. That the effect of this duty upon our commercial relations with China is preiudicial in the highest degree, inasmuch as the trade being principally one of barter, our exports of British wenn faetures are dependent rpon the extent of eur imports from that country —it may, therefore, be fairly expezted that our trade would he materially increased, we 'et there a considerahle augmentation of the returns at present received from China. That a large red uc ti on o f duty is important, irasmach as tea is a favourite article of consump tion with the great mass of the people, whoile comforts and social habits would be promoted by plac'ug withln their reach an accept able aid wholesome beverage rt a reasonable price. And further, that as a Pathan - ettary Committee, in July, 1847, after a length ered inquiry, tecominended to the House of Oo ntr ols a considerable reduction of the duty on tea it is hi'ihly expedielt at this time to urge the Chancellor of the Exchequer to .re-consider the Report of the Committee, with a view of submitting to the house a proposal for carrying their recommendation into effect. --- - - - . - It was proposed by W. Crawford, Esq. ; seconded by Bush M. Matheson, Esq., That inasmuch as protracted discussions upon alterations of duty detrimentally affect the interests of all parties both hero and abroad, promote undue speculation, and terd to diminish the amount of duties received for the revenue, it is highly desirable that any reduc tion proposed as regards the tea duties should take affect with the least possible delay. It was proposed by G. T. Brain, Esq. ; seconded by Lewis Huth ' Esq. That as regards the extent of reduction, meeting is fully im pressed with the importance of it: being of sueb a magnitude as would secure to the 'people a difference in price sufficiently important to en sure such inm eased consumption as would promptly restore any temporary deficiency in the revenue. It was proposed by Richard Twining, Esq., jun.; seconded by John Entwistle Esq., • That the following Memorial be signed, for presentation to the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, conveying to him the views of this Meeting on the subject, and that the same be handed to him by John Mast erroan, Esq. M.P., and Samuel Gregson, Esq., M.P. was proposed by J. Ingram Travers, Esq. ; seconded by Jas. Lay- ton, Esq., That the cordial thPnks of tbis Meeting he given to John Master man, Esq., M.P., for his conduct in the chair this day, and for his ready attention at all times to the wishes of his constituent's. To THE RiGHT HON. WILLIAM EWALT GLADSTO - ..rE, M.P., CHAN CELLOR OF HER MAJESTY'S EXCHEQUER, &C. The M emorial of the undersigned Merchants and Traders of the City of London. showeth,—That your Memorialists are deeply interested in the trade with China, or engaged in the sale of tea. That your Memorialists consider the present duty charged upon tea to be exorbitant a id oppressive, and molt inconsistent with the avowed commercial policy of the nation, of securing to the mass of the people all necessary articles of consumption at the cheapest pos sible rate. That this excessive duty interferes most pittitiously with the con sumption of tea. That the natural development of the China trade (In most in stances one of barter) is greatly impeded by the imposition of a high duty upon one of the principal articles of import, as the en tent of British manuf ctures to be introduced into that country must be regulated by the returns of China preduc s which we are enabled to consume That your 3femorialists consider that could returns be taken from China in sufficient quantity, the exportation of Briti-h manufactures would be increased to an enormous extent, China being not only the most popu ous country in the world, bat its inhabitants are probably the most dress-loving people and the most prone to the indulgence of cheap luxuries of any nation with which we are acquainted. That your Memorialists are convinced that the reduction of the duty on tea will ensure a largely increased consumption of that article. That the loss of revenue occasioned by a redaction of duly would be speedily repaired by sues increased consvmption, provided the reductioa we-e sufficiently important to cause a sensible diminution in the price, and one which would be felt by the mass of the people, whose purchases, though made in very small quantities, are enor mous in the aggregate. That the duties imposed by the Chinese tariff on British goods varies from 5 to 7 per cent., while the duty on tea, their staple export to Great Britain varies from 200 to 250 per cent.—a fact which should induce ,the Government of this country to take the earsic‘,t opportnnity.of lessening the excessive duty now charged thereon. That independently of commercial views, the extended consump tion oft ea in this country may be deensei a moral and social qu ca tion of great importance. Tea yields a wholesome and agreeable beverage to every class of the population, one that is increasingly desired as a subs itute for intoxicating liquors, and is peculiarly valued by the humbler classes. whose comforts wpuld be increased, and whose social habits would be improved were the cost of so important an article of consumption materially reduced. That in reference to navigation, a large reduction is important. Tea is a light and bulky article, requiring considerable tonnage in proportion to its value • the continued emigration to Australia will direct a large amount of shipping to the southern hemisphere, a part of which, proceeding to China, would find profitable employment, were a large additional quantity of tea required in this coantry. That your Memorialists would further mention that during the past six years, while the shipments of tea from China to Great Bri tain have only increased from 57,600,00 i lbs. to 65,000,0001b5., the ex ports of tea to the United States, where no duty is imposed, have in creased from 18,000,0001b5. to 34.300,000 lbs.,—a striking illustration of the expansive power of the tea trade if relieved from burthensome and oppressive duties. That in our colonies and dependencies where tea is free or lightly taxed, the consumption is, in proportion to the population, in some cases two, in others three to one more than in this country, a fact which further strongly illustrates the capability of greatly increased consumption. In conclusion, your Memorialists will only refer to the elaborate investigation into the working of the China trade by a Committee of the House of Commons in 1847. The Report of that Committee, which entered most fully and ably into all questions arising out of this important branch of our commerce, contained the following re commendation to the house : " Your Committee think themselves warranted in recommending to the house a considerable reduction in the duty on tea at the earliest period which in it.. wisdom .it may see fit, as most desirable in itself, with a view to the comforts and the social habits of the people, as involving but a temporary loss to the Revenue, and as essential to the extension of our trade with China, nay, even to its maintenance at the point which it has already reached." Under there circumstances, your Memorialists pray for a liberal and pr,)mpt revision of the Tea Duties. London, 14th March, 1853. Baring Brothers and Co. " W. E. Moffatt Matheson and Co. - J.

Pays there is a long article on the pro bable effect that "the influx of gold will have on the relation of trade, and on the question whether the French Government ought to adopt some measure as a proviiion against the consequences which would otherwise result from a serious alteration in the value of gold. The Pays does not, however, express any decided opinion as to the course to be pursued. The Emperor has just named the Marquis Tur got, ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs, as Ambassador at the Court of Spain, in the place of General Aupick, lately nominated as Senator. About three o'clock the day before yesterday, says the Constitutionnel, the Emperor tried a horse for a short time in the court-yard of the Tuileries. A number• of persons hid assembled along the iron railings, admiring the skill and dexterity with which his Majesty mastered the noble animal. We read in the Moniteur :—" Some foreign journals have published pretended copies of the sermon which the Abbe Lacordaire delivered in the church of St. Roch on the 12th of February last, in presence of the Archbishop of Paris, in favour of the Christian schools. These copies having contained odious attacks against the Go vernment, the Minister of Public Worship wrote to the Archbishop of Paris to inquire how far they were exact. He received the following reply " Monsieur le Ministre,—l received with your letter of the 12th of March, the extracts of the Observateur Beige, containing the pretended exordium of the sermon. which the Abbe Lacordaire delivered at St. Roch in my presence. Neither my grand vicar nor myself have been able to discover in these extracts, which are said to have -he.en. taken down in Anrt-liand,the.sermonAvllich wa heard. During an hour; which the impro'isation of the celebrated Dominican lasted, I only remarked, as I wrote in my preceding letter, some inopportune quotations, and some words which Father,Lacordairo pronounced" quite simply, but which, I saw clearly, party spirit and malignity could lay hold of, for the purpose of seeking for allusions which were far,, I am convinced, from the' mind of the speaker. So little is necessary to change into epigrams inoffensive words ! That is what has been done with the sermon of Father Lacordaire ; in which phrases have bee* inserted in an inexact manner, either by additions or by changes of words, as we have posi tively perceived in reading the extracts which you were pleased to forward to me. I have nothing more to say, Monsieur le Ministre, unless that I will never permit the Christian pulpit to be made a political tribune, or the liberty of the Holy Word to degenerate into licence. That is my duty, and I shall take care to .perform it. Your Excellency can make any use you please of this letter. Accept the assurance of my high consideration. " DENIS AUGUSTE, Archbishop of Paris." The Echo of Valenciennes states that the deputa tion of the beet-root sugar manufacturers, who had come to Paris to have an interview with the Minis ter of Finance, had returned with tli hope that their claims on•the subject of the duties would meet with just attention. The Esperance du Peuple of Nantes has received notice from the Procureur Imperial of that town, that the Government had decided that no prosecu tion should be instituted against it, as was at first intended for the erroneous intelligence which it had published of a domiciliary visit having been made by the police, in the hotel .of M. de Rothschild in Paris. The budget for 1854 was presented yesterday to the Legislative Assembly ; the estimated expendi ture exceeds, the receipts by 1,388,630 f., notwith standing the long-desiderated equilibrium. The receipts are estimated at 1,528 millions, and the expo3es at 1,519. The details will not be known till after the distribution of the budget next week. To this cause, in some degree, as well as to the dis tracted state of Europe, especially in regard to the affairs of Turkey, the heavy fall in the prices of the public securities, which will be observed in the report of the Bourse, must be ascribed. The Assembly has adjourned till the Wednesday after Easter. The Russian Princess de Lieven, whose former relations with Guizot are so well known, and who holds a high rank in the upper circles of Paris, is to be presented on Sunday next at the Court of the Emperor—a fact of considerable political im portance, and in which may be seen the influence of the Russian Ambassador: General Cavaignac met M. Berger, Prefect of the Seine, at the Horticultural Exhibition, when, in reply to a remark of the Prefect, the General said, We are not only not of the same opinion, M. Berger, but we do not belong to the same camp." The requisite capital has been subscribed, chiefly by English houses, for the construction of a rail way from Duren to Treves, in communication with the French and Prussian lines. The Bourse has been very dull, and prices of all the securities have sustained a heavy decline. The Three per Cents. closed at 80f. 20c. for the account, being a decline of 80c., and at 79f. 35c. for cash, being a fall of 65c. from the prices of Thursday. The Four-and• a-Half per Cents, were last called 103 f. 40c., being 70c. lower, for the account, and 103 f. 50c. for cash—a decline of 50c. Bank Stock, which has for some days been considerably depressed, experienced yesterday a further fall of no less than 15 francs. Railway Shares, which for the past week have been amending in quotations, partook of the general downward tendency, and all the stocks usually dealt in were called at the close much lower than Thursday. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 13th are totally destitute of political news of interest. The Herald() states in consequence of the failure of the crops last year in Galicia, the peasantry there are in the greatest distress. Many of them totally destitute of food have abandoned their homes and are wan dering about imploring charity. GERMANY. The new regulations for the Vienna Bourse are ordered to be printed forthwith. They trace a strong line of demarcation between actual business and agiotage. Those who are known to do business habitually on speculation will be expelled. The official journal of Wurtemberg says there is no truth in the report of an intended congress of Sovereigns at Berlin. On the 12th, M. Muller Melchiors, a deputy of the Second Chamber of Hesse Darmstadt, was con demned by the tribunal of Mentz to two months' imprisonment, for publishing a speech which he had made on the customs question. M. Inerg, the printer of the speech, was sentenced to five months' imprisonment. We extract the following from the Gazette ds France : "A letter from London states On Sunday last, at the conclusion of high mass, a solemn TelDeum, was sung in the parochial church of St. Alexis, in thanksgiving for the preservation of the life of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria.' St. Alexis is a, new Catholic foundation in Kentish-town 2 a large suburb of London, which has long been noted for its salubrity. This foundation, which owes its establishment to the present incumbent, the Rev. Harding Ivers, has excited much interest in England and on the continent, in consequence of the progress of Catholicism in the neighbourhood. The rev. incumbent was formerly preceptor to two royal princes, who are allied to most of the reigning houses of Europe, and from all these august families this interest ing foundation has obtained marks of favour. Thus St. Alexis, ranks amongst its principal benefactors the mem bers of the Imperial family of Austria, whose eminent private virtues shed lustre on royalty. It is easy to conceive that on this occasion the parishioners of St. Alexis should, in conformity with the intentions of their pastor, have offered up thanks to Heaven for the pro tection God has granted to a Monarch dear alike to the Church and to his own States." ITALY. A letter from Milan, in the Moniteur says— " The authorities are gradually diminishing the severity of the police measures ; but they still con tinue to display great activity in their efforts to discover the persons who took part in the insurrec tion of February 6. It is said that Marshal Ra detzky is to come to Milan, and that General Gyu lay is to take the command of the corps d'armee at Veresa. This change will take place, perhaps, when the troops shall be more considerable." A letter from Nice, of the 13th, in the Parla ment° of Turin, states that several persons expelled from France had arrived there latterly, and that at the above date twenty individuals more of that description were brought before th 3 police authorities. In its sitting of the 14th the Senate of Turin re jected by 25 votes to 24 the bill for the reorganisa tion of the Chambers of Commerce, which had already passed the Chamber of Deputies. It after wards passed a measure relating to bills of exchange upon persons not engaged in trade. In the same sitting the Minister of Public Works presented the submarine Spezia and Sardinia electric telegraph bill, already passed by the Chamber of Deputies. The Parlamento of Turin quotes a letter from Genoa of the 11th, stating that, according to the last accounts from Naples and Palermo, many ar rests have taken place there. The Piedmmte s se Gazette announces the adhesion The Uniiersal Gazette of Prussia, under its Berlin head of the 15th, says :—" The Turkish Govern ment has charged Prussia with the important office of mediating in the dispute between Russia Sind France on the question of the Holy Sepulchre, that is, between the Roman Catholic Ch urc h and the Greek Church. This' is not thq first time the Porte has appealed to the mediation of Prussia, as in 1790, the Sultan entrusted all her destiny to Prussia, in making this latter power her arbi trator." M. Trouves Chauval, who was prefect of police in Paris in 1848, is appointed head of the new Bank of Constantinople, which is now on the eve of being constituted, with a capital of four hundred million of piastres. GENERAL HXYNAU. General Haynau'S -death was quite unexpected. On Saturday, the 12th,1ie Pined the circle OF generals who had assembled to congratulate the Emperor, at the Bel laria, and attracted the particular notice of his Majesty, who addressed him on passing, with "A greeting to you, General " (Gass rie,Herr General). On Sunday he was at. the Mertantile Union as usual. At midnight he re turned to Munsch's Hotel, where he was lodging, and soon retired to rest. At half-past one he summoned his valet, and directed him to fetch a glass of water, as he felt unwell. When the man returned, he found his master gasping for breath ; in short, in the agonies of death. Medical assistance was immediately called in, and an attempt to take blood from the General's arm was made, but in vain. General Haynau had ceased to be. Julius . Jacob Haynau was born at Cassel in 17 86, the natural son of the Elector William, and entered the Aus trian service in his 15th year, in an infantry regiment. He obtained a colonelcy in 1830, and five years after wards was made a general of brigade. Promoted in 1844 to the rank of general of division. He commanded at Temeswar in 1847, and in 1848 was with the Bth army corps in Italy. In the following year, when Brescia rose in revolt, Haynau hastened to the spot, took the town by storm, and issued the order which he - afterwards thus recorded in his official report : " I commanded that the soldiers should- make no prisoners, but that every one should be immediately cut down. I also directed that the houses from which shots proceeded should be set on fire." From that day forward he was called by the people "The Hyaena of Brescia," but by his Sove reign, a Knight Grand. Cross of the Order of Maria Theresa. After his retirement from active life, Haynau showed himself very solicitous to avoid the stigma of having ordered the flogging of a lady, but he well knew that in lighting up the streets of 'Brescia, he was con signing women and children to the most horrible death. Haynau was before Venice when he received the Em peror's commands to repair the disasters of, Windisch gratz and Welden, in Hungary, and, with the aid of the Russian Army, acquitted himself of a mission which con tributed nothing to his military fame. Angry at the surrender of Gorgey to the Russians, Haynau now pro ceeded to wreak his vengeance on prisoners whom his arms had not vanquished. On the 6th of October, 1849. he executed 13 of the most distinguished leaders of the revolution at Arad, whilst Count Louis Batthyani's mur der was being accomplished at Perth under his direc tion. Loaded with such rewards as tyrants can besfow, Haynau became capricious, and soon found himself sud denly deprived of the Government of Hungar anll removed from the active lists of the army. SinCe that day he has been a wanderer in Europe, execrated wlifr ever opinion was free to express itself. It is stated that the visit to Vienna, which was destined to prove his last, was undertaken with the purpose of offering again his active energies in the hanging and shooting service of his Sovereign.

The Grand Duke of Tuscany has professed latterly to keep them in confinement, under the infliction of most unmerited punishment, for no better reason than the care of his own dignity ; and it was alleged on his behalf that how ever he might be disposed to temper the rigour of eccle siastical persecution, he could not yield without some show of independence to the pressing solicitations brought to, bear against him. In our judgment it would haves been a wiser and a manlier course to wipe out at the earliest possible moment the stain which this transaction has thrown upon the administration of a Prince who was once considered humane, liberal, and just. Nothing he can now do will obliterate the fact, that in his domi nions, and under the decrees of his courts of justice, at the instigation of his public prosecutor, a man and a woman were sentenced to ignominious punishment, which they underwent, not without peril to their lives, fur the offence of reading the Bible and using the English Book of Common Prayer. That was the latest, though not, we fear, the last, effort of the spirit which founded the Inquisition. Though Europe has still very little reason to boast of her progress towards political freedom, this outrage on religious liberty was regarded as an anachronism, and an outrageous attack on those rights of oonscience which ought at least to be secure in the hands of justice. The feelings of indignation which the condemnation of the Madiais excited were honourable to the Protestant na tions which joined in advocating their cause, and we would fain believe that amongst our Roman Catholic fellow-countrymen there were many who viewed this abuse of power with as much pain and aversion as were felt by ourselves. But although it is long since any case has occurred to rouse in an equal degree the resent ment that follows persecution, it cannot be doubted that this iniquitous sentence marks the revival of a spirit in the Roman Catholic Church whiph is not peculiar to the priests and the Government o f Tuscany. Under different forms and to a different extent, but with the same object, the pretensions of the Ultramontane party in the Church of Rome are everywhere the same. They profess in tolerance the, most absolute ; they -Would convert the Church to whiclfthertelong,- and-its-whole-hierarchy, into one great engine of spiritual despotism under Papal authority ; they condemn and dispute the national and diocesan rights which have hitherte been cherished by many of the ablest and most sincere champions of that learild convert thrittligieus unity, which - is the basis of their system, into the most absolute spiri tual bondage which ever oppressed mankind. In Italy the opposition to the extreme doctrines of the priestly party is secret, for it is denouned as schismatic and pun ished ins heretical. Even these proceedillga against the Machats were unquestionably suggested by a desire to intimidate a class of thinkers who have eagerly embraced the tenets of a purer faith. But in France the Roman Catholic clergy are themselves openly divided on these questions, and the agitation kept up by the Ultramon tane school ,of writers has been condemned by no less an authority than the Archbishop of Paris, who is cited by them in his turn to defend himself before the Pope. In the 17th or 18th centuries these opinions would have assumed the shape of a sermon or a pamphlet, -to be condemned and burnt perhaps by order of the Sor bonne. In our time they take the more convenient and effectiveform of a newspaper, and, accordingly, M. Louis Veuillot, himself a layman and the editor of a paper called L' Univers, has assumed the functions of an eccle siastical censor, defending the most absolute propositions for which the Order of the Jesuits has ever contended, denouncing all that is national and independent in the Church of France, and asserting, in unqualified terms, the unlimited supremacy of Rome. The Archbishop of Paris, being of opinion that many of these views are exaggerated, and that it is subversive of the order of the Church in his diocese that a lay agent of the Pope should write down his authority, has spiritually condemned the journal in question, and ordered his clergy and the faithful not to read it. Some other French pre lates have done the same, for at this moment the condemnation of the Univers is the criterion of Galilean opinions. Others, on the contrary, and especially the Bishop of Moulins, have impugned the act of the Archbishop with the greatest violence. The Archbishop has retorted by a letter to his reverend brother of Moulins, which he has published, and which certainly is not written in a tone of pastoral serenity. M. Veuillot, in the meantime, has started for Rome, leaving the prelates of France by the ears, and proceeds without more ado to invoke the judgment of the Pope on his newspaper, or, in other words, to cite the Metro politan of France to answer at the judgment-seat of the Vatican for this exercise of his authority. With consid erable address M. Veuillot has first 'endeavoured to obtain a suspension of the interdict placed on his news paper, pendente lite, which would amount to a partial reversal of the archiepiscopal decree. He has also ob tained from the Monsignore who writes the Pope's atin letters a very elaborate testimony to his known zearand orthodoxy. Thus far the 'case looks ill for the Archbishop, for, after all, the cause of M. Veuillot is that of Rome herself, and we know' not if we are to expect of Pius IL a condemnation of any amount of intemperance on behalf of the Papal supremacy. Yet it may prove no less inconvenient to humble and rebuke the most emi nent and - independent members of the French clergy, especially at a moment when hopes have been held out to the Pope by the French Government of concessions to his authority of a more positive character. The Government of France is undoubtedly embarrassed by the violence of this dispute between a class of men whom • it desires to unite in common devotion to Louis Napoleon's interest ; and an ecclesiastical quarrel is an awkward prelude to the Pontifical visit which Pius IX. is so ardently solicited to pay. With a view to that great object of the Emperor's ambition, to which he is disposed at this moment to make every other consideration give way, and also for the purpose of conciliating the most energetic party in the Church, the Government has avoided committing itself decidedly to either side. The Pope's journey to France, if ever takes. place, and the termination of the solemnities already in preparation. may either have the effect of giving a momentary advan tage to the Pontificial party, or of releasing the Govern ment from the obligations it is now politic to observe. But the questions which have been raised of late in all countries by the revival of claims which had long slum bered in the bosom of the Romish Church are not of a nature to be easily or speedily set at rest. They con cern the very essence of that power in its nearest rela• tions to modern society and civil government. They are persecution in Italy ; they are a new-fangled hierarchy in England ; they are absolutism and the Jesuits in Austria ; they are opposition and resistance to the Siccardi laws in Piedmont ; they are Ultramontanism and the repeal of the organic articles annexed to the • Concordat in France ; everywhere a cause to be gained ; everywhere a step to be won towards the grand and unchanging object of the spiritual subjection of the world. In the present state of Europe, that mysterious influence alone forces its way through military cordons and above absolute decrees. That Power alone raises itself with the tenacity of a parasitic plant wherever an authority holds its ground against the movement of the age. If it be held in check at all, it is mainly by the force 01' public opinion in this and other Protestant countries ; for as we examine the condition of the Con tinent we are more and more convinced that emancipa tion from the yoke of the Papacy is the first element of national independence, and that there are no lasting civil rights where there is no religious liberty. The expan sion of the power of Rome in these later times is inti mately connected with the almost universal sway of ab solute Government ; and whenever that unnatural state of political control is shaken Rome will probably share the fate of those who have sought her aid to prolong the bondage of mankind.
