MR. ETRE ASH HIS BIOGRAPHER AT THE LEVEE.

The Star notices the fact that Mr. Eyre attended the
Levee on Wednesday, and that his biographer, Mr.
Hamilton Hume, was presented to the Prince of Wales.
It wagon the morning of the same day that the newspapers
were announcing the publication of the Lord Chief
Justice's charge on the subject of the Jamaica insurrection
and Mr. Eyre's measures of repression. Appended to the
charge there are some remarks on Mr. Eyre's recent con-
duct as a ruler, which were doubtless being read with great
interest by the public in general, at the very time Mr.
Eyre wee looking for the recognition of royalty. " A man,"
says the Chief Justice, " must be dead to all sentiments of
humanity—must have banished mercy from the catalogue
of human virtues—who can mad the account of the exe-
cutions and soourgings after the recent outbreak in
Jamaica, as shown by the report of the royal
commissioners, without shuddering to think what
human nature is capable of." The Chief Justice
is particularly stern in his remarks on the arrest,
deportation, and trial of Mr. Gordon, for which transac-
tions of course Mr. Eyre was not alone technically and
officially, but directly and personally, answerable. "Nu
one," says his lordship, " who has the faintest idea of what
the administration of justice involves, could deem the
proceedings on this trial consistent with justice, or, to use
a homely phrase, with that fair play which is the right of
the commonest criminal," He contrasts it with the course
taken in regard to the Fenians. Pursue the contrast.
Suppose the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland had seized Burke,
then a quiet resident in an unproclaimed district, and de-
ported him to where martial law prevailed ; had sent him
for trial before an illegal court•martial, where he was tried
"with unseemly and deplorable haste, without knowledge
of the charge till called upon to answer it, without
knowledge of the Lets intended to be proved, or of the
witnesses intended to bo examined ;" had sanctioned his
condemnation "on evidence wholly insufficient," and
ordered him to instant death. 'What would even the tory
press of England have said of such a viceroy? Suppose
that after the viceroy had himself actually announced the
suppression of the insurrection, hundreds of persons were
put to death, hundreds of others, including women, were
flogged, and some thousand houses were burnt, under the
administration and approval of the sante viceroy—what
would the most uncompromising loyalist have said of
such deeds? And finally, suppose the viceroy, dismissed
from office by a government which, foe shame's sake,
dared not sanction such conduct, were found conspicuous
among those assisting at a royal reception. Which of us
would not have marvelled at the presence of such a visitor
in such a place ?

HUNGARY.
PBBTH. Mar 30.
This morning's journals publish a letter from M.
Desk, in which the writer states that he deems
it unnecessary to justify himself against the accu-
sations contained in the letter of M. Kossuth, as
his whole political conduct is publicly known, and
on that conduct be rests his justification. The
hereditary objects of his political life, he s►ys,
have been to effect an arrangement with Austria,
in conjunction with the maintenance of Hungary's
constitution, and he will not trust to unforeseen
events, revolution, or foreign aid.
The committee upon the inaugural diploma was
constituted to-day, under the presidency of the
Prince Primate.

remain in Paris until the 11th of June, and will
then proceed to Stuttgardt, where he will stay two
days and a half. The Journal de St. Peterabourg
of to-day says that there are prospects of results
favourable to peace arising from the journey of the
Emperor. The King of the Greeks arrives to-day
from Crunatadt.

MONDAVA CEREMONT AT THE PARTS ETHTBMON.

In the opinion of the Times the splendid cere-
monial in Paris on Monday is worthy to be called a politi-
cal event. The speech of the Emperor is conceived in •
spirit worthy of the occasion and theme. The impress of
the French mind is on the whole exhibition and its accom-
paniments, and it is by French taste and power of organi-
sation that success has been attained. All this would jus-
tify one who speaks in the name of France if he dilated
somewhat on the merits of his country. But the Emperor
in speaking of the Exhibition dwells chiefly on its
universal character, and on the benefits it will con-
fer on mankind by bringing them together and
giving them common objects and a peaceful rivalry.
The greatness and prosperity of France for which the
Emperor challenges the admiration of the world, are be-
yond a doubt, and as to liberty, which he claims as its
third glory, it must be admitted that the French nation as
represented at its elections is satisfied with the order of
things which now exists. Foreign nations will reciprocate
the language of the Emperor respecting the esteem and
sympathy entertained by France for them, and her sincere
desire to live at peace with them. Let us hope that in a
few years the principles now enunciated and the instincts
now encouraged will produce their affect in the diminu-
tion of those armaments which now weigh down the
energies of Europe.
The Standard considers the speech an admirable speci-
men of the imperial manner. The art of clothing misty
and remote truths in gorgeous words is one which the
Emperor has cultivated with great success. It is an art
very popular among our neighbours—the Exhibition itself
is a capital opportunity for ita exercise.

BERLIN, JOLT 2, DIM:W.
The New Prussia It (Cross)Gazetie of this evening,
referring to the North Schleswig question, says
" Prussia will certainly fulfil the terms of the
treaty of Prague. Should Denmark refuse to
furnish guarantees for the protection of the German
inhabitants of the district to be ceded, and continue
to demand a plebiscitum, Prussia could not evade
the demand, but she would take care that the vote
was taken only in districts where the population
were exclusively Danish, or the Danish element
decidedly predominant. The question of districts
of mixed nationality would be provided for accor-
ding to Articles 18 and 19 of the Treaty of Vienna
concluded on the 30th October, 1864. Denmark
(adds the New Prussian Gazette) would do well
to weigh her definite reply to the Prussian propo-
sals. There are various important reasons why
she should do so."

The foreign stock market was flat, and the

THE 4EF-STIo4 OP OATHS.

We learn from the JMily Nem., that, on the
question whether any oaths are necessary, and, if any of
them are, what is the principle upon which one class is to
be distinguished from the other, there is a wide difference
of opinion amongst the oaths commissioners, whose report ,
hasjust been issued. The Duke of Richmond, the Bishop of
Oxford, Mr. Russell Gurney, Mr. Justice Shee, and
Mr. Myles O'Reilly think that the oath of general alle-
giance should be retained in the case of admission to
all great national offices of trust and importance, and
that oaths of fidelity should also be retained in the
case of judges of the superior courts and in that
of jurymen. The grounds upon which these oaths
should be retained are somewhat vaguely stated ; but the
arguments in favour of abolishing them are very forcibly,
and, as seems to the Daily Nees conclusively stated by
the six dissenting commissioners, Lord Lyvcden, Mr.
Bonverie, Mr. Lowe, Sir W. Stirling Maxwell, the Dean
of St. Paul's, and Mr. NI urray Dunlop. These commissioners
object, like their colleagues, to all " unnecessary" oaths on
the simple ground that an appeal to the Almighty ought not
to be made lightly, or without a fair reason to believe there
is a useful and worthy purpose to be served. Omitting
oaths taken under judicial proceedings, which were beyond
the scope of this inquiry, they think that there is no object
in continuing an oath if a declaration, with a penalty,
will serve the same purpose. And as to oaths or de-
clarations to which penalties are attached the dis-
senting commissioners can perceive in them no advantage.
There is one recommendation in which all the commis-
sioners concur, and which it is hoped will be adopted
without delay. This recommendation refers to declara-
tions repudiating certain theological doctrines, such as
the declaration made by the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland
against transubstantiation. It can acarocly be expected
that the broad and liberal conclusions at which the nix
dissenting commissioners have arrived will be at once
adopted. But it may assist those who cling to the idea
that oaths end declarations promote public morality and
tend to quicken the conscience, to observe the conclusion
of the commissioners, that " oaths taken on important
occasions have been violated by persons of all ranks,
ecclesiastics as well as laymen, sometimes with the con-
nivance or even with the approval of the authorities whose
duty it was to watch over their fulfilment," and to note
the many facts which the commissioners have adduced is
support of this conclusion.

PARES, WEDNVIDAIt ETE:qING.

In the course of Sunday night the Emperor sent
• telegram to Washington by the Atlantic cable
inquiring iwhether Maximilian was certainly exe-
cuted. He received an answer on Monday morn-
ing stating that the news was unfortunately too
true. Some say the answer came to hand at half-
past eleven, others that it was not till one o'clock.
At any rate it was almost immediately before the
Emperor set out from the Tuileries for the grand
fete of the distribution of prizes at the Petals
de l'lndustrie. Heavy indeed his heart must have
been as be passed in the gilded Trianon carriage
through the files of troops and the masses of spec-
tators that lined the causeway from the Tuileries to
the Champs Elysttes. He had then spoken of the
catastrophe to no one but the Empress. But in
the building he told Prince de Metternich of the
communication he had received ; and the latter,
to whom it was probably no surprise, informed the
Count and Countess of Flanders. They were, I am
assured, in their places at the fate, but went away
before it was over, in consequence of the sad in-
telligence. They caused a mass to be said at Notre
Dame for Maximilian's soul in the course of the
afternoon. The Sultan was the first to propose
that the fetes planned in his honour should be
countermanded.

The Moniteut, in stating that the fetes will not
take place, makes mention of Maximilian for the
first time for many months. Those who read exclu-
sively that official journal, must yet be under the
impression that Maximilian was still the popular
and solidly established monarch which the Munitcur
assured them he was last year.
The Princess Metternich yesterday evening dis-
charged all the workmen who wore preparing the
Austrian embassy for a grand fete to the Emperor
of Austria.

The France confirms what I said yesterday that

the court of the Tuileries has already gone in—C,
mourning without waiting for more formal intelli-
gence.

In the Corps Legislatif to-day, M. Thief's, who
had intended to speak upon Mexico, said he would
beg to reserve his right for a later period of the
discussion on the budget. There were important
financial questions connected with the Mexican
expedition necessary to be examined ; but in pre-
sence of the emotion which prevailed, and which
he shared, ho thought it not decent to enter upon
the subject to-day. He would take another oppor.
tunity, either on the war budget or on the budget
for foreign affairs.

The Bourse continues depressed. Rente is again
lower. It fell 15c. for cash, and 25c. fur account,
closing at 68fr. 55c. in each case. Italian fell 27Yr.;
Mobilier, llfr. 25c. ; Credit Foncier, IGfr. 25c.
Comptoir d'Escompte, so far from recovering the
fall of 24fr. within two days, fell 2fr. Z,oc. 'ore.
Railways were also very heavy. Northern fill
12fr. 50c. ; and Southern, Bfr. 75c.

FRANCIS DEAK.

Though the Bth of June at Pesth was the day of
Desk's own making, be withdrew from the sight of his
work, and the circumstance, the Times thinks, sums up
the man's character. What Hungary has achieved
by her 20 years' struggle is a legal revolution ; hen is
the victory of pensive resistance, a plan of action
initiated as well as completed by Deak alone. Hungary
had no lack of patriots, heroes, and martyrs--Batthyany,
Kossuth, Teleki. But Deak was a man of a different
stamp. His intent well to conquer, not to suffer. The
ground he took was invincible, unassailable ; it was legal
opposition. There is no doubt that Deak has secured as
much independence for Hungary as is good for her. Had he
abided by Komi:lib's declaration of 1849, or had he even
insisted on an inexorably strict and absolute compact of
personal union, he would have sapped the foundation no
leas of Hungary than of Austria itself. Left to her own
resources, or even feebly supported by Austria, Magyar
Hungary would hardly stand her ground against her Bela-
vonia subjects and neighbours. Only by clinging to the
former dominant race, and making common cause with it
against the elements of disorder, can she hope to maintain
her position. Desk felt this, and he made no answer to
Kossuth's charges. Happy is the nation which has such a
statesman. Thrice happy the nation which knows how to
follow him.

rEE EMPEROR MAXIMILtr..4
balister
the. jimitrisai

The Baron von Beust, Austrian
Foreign Affairs, has sent a despatch to I
bassadors announcing that information has been r.....
that the Emperor Maximilian fell a sacrifice on the lta,
ult. Baron von Benet then announces the steps that were
taken by the Austrian government several months ago to
avoid the terrible calamity, and states that the imperial
family, foreseeing that the result of the expedition to
Mexico would be a failure, cheerfully agreed to reinstate
the Emperor Maximilian in all those rights, as nearest
agnate to the Austrian throne, which he renounced on
accepting the throne of Mexico. When the news of his
capture was received all means were adopted in order to
bring about a diplomatic intervention in his favour by
the whole of Europe, and previously, with a too fatal
foresight of coming dangers, the Austrian ambassador at
Washington had been instructed to address himself to the
government of the United States, and to solicit their active
intervention in case of any danger threatening the Empe-
ror. The result of Mr. Seward's humane intervention i■
known. As moon as intelligence of the capitulation of the
Emperor was received, the Emperor of the French, the
Emperor of Russia, and the King of Prussia were called
upon to instruct their ambassadors at Washington to unite
their influence with thatof the Austrian ambassadorfor the
safety of the Emperor. All the Powers immediately ac-
ceded to this request, and her Majesty Queen Victoria
further supported the exertions of the diplomatists
as the life of a dear and near relative was at stake. The
representatives of Juarez at Washington having tried
to justify the most severe measures, on the ground that
the Emperor Maximillian would for ever remain a pre-
tender, and would have assembled around him a party
who would keep the country in • state of anarchy, an
imperial family council assembled, and it was resolved to
reinstate the Emperor in all his former right', and at the
same time to give guarantees that he should renounce all
claims to the throne of Mexico. The question
of ransom had never been mooted at this time,
but sacrifices to any amount would have been
made at Vienna in order that the life of one so dear
to the imperial family might have been spared. It was
also seen that dangers might arise if such • course were
adopted. The idea was entertained that it would be
expedient to despatch a confidential agent to Juarez, in
order to open a negotiation with a view of inducing him
to accept a sum of money on condition that he liberated
the Emperor. The consideration here arose that this step
would be attended with much danger, for however great
the ability of the emisaary, discovery might result, and
then the safety of the Emperor would be much more
endangered. It also seemed clear that Juarez, with the
best intentions, would be powerless in opposition to the
other leaders. Neither could this last hope of the Aus-
trian family be carried out, as time was wanting to give
effect to it.—Post

PRUSSIA AND DENMARK.
COPENHAGEN, JULY 3.

The official Bertinake Ti4kwir of to-day publishes
an article expressing greatdissatisfaction at certain
attacks made by the semi-official North German
Gazette upon the highest tribunal of justice in
Denmark—" a tribunal, whose impartiality," says
the official journal, " has ever been the pride of
the Danish people, and whose decisions are above
any suspicion of unfairness." It is stated that the
last Prussian note respecting North Schleswig has
not yet been answered. In to-day's sitting of the
Folksthing, an address to the King on the
subject of the Danish districts of North Schleswig
was moved by 30 members of the house. This
address describes the execution of the paragraphs
of the treaty of Prague, relating to Schleswig, as
indispensable to the welfare of Denmark, and
characterizes Prussia's conduct in this matter as
being in contradiction with her formal promises.
It also expresses the grief of the Danish people at
the sufferings of their Schleswig brethren, but yet
indulges in the hope that at last satisfaction will
be inade by a solution of the question, based, as de-
sired by the inhabitants themselves, upon a
separation of the German from the Danish popu-
lation. In conclusion it hopes that between the
neighbouring countries, Prussia and Denmark,
there will thus spring up a lasting friendship, as
the'result of an arrangement which leaves behind
no germ for future dissension. The draft of an
address of similar purport was brought forward in
to-day's sitting of the Landsthing.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Bitt 8.

The semi-official Preritwial Correponifixee of
this evening says :—" The prospects of the
preservation of peace, grounded upon the
assembly of a conference, are somewhat over-
cast in consequence of reliable intelligence
of the continuance of military preparations
in France. This intelligence states that not
only has the French army been raised to a full
peace footing, but that by the continued pur-
, chase of horses and the calling in of men,
pursued on a scale far exceeding the exi-
gencies of peace, it would seem to have
been rendered fit to take the offensive. The
Prussian government," adds the Provincial Corre-
spondence, " while entertaining the most earnest
' wishes, and using every effort in favour of the
Imaintenance of peace, cannot shut its eyes to the
necessity of exercising serious precaution and vigi-
lance. Up to the present, Prussia has not called
out a single man, nor purchased a single horse,
and she still fixes, not merely her wishes, bnt.'also
her hopes, upon peace. Nothing, however, but •
prompt and peaceful decision by the Conference
can relieve this government from the necessity of
adopting those precautionary measures which the
security of german), and Prussia demand."

BERLIN, MAT 8, EVFAING.

In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies
the debate on the draft constitution for North
Germany was continued. Herr Reichensperger
made a speech in which he said, that although in
the North German parliament ho had opposed the
passage of the draft he should now vote in favour
of it, because it was necessary that Germany should
rally her forces. Herren Lowe, Hoverbeck, and
Leaker then spoke, the two former against and the
latter in favour of the draft. Herr Bockum Dolfrs
motion was rejected. The whole draft of the con-
stitution was subsequently adopted by 226 against
91 votes. The members of the Left voted against
the draft.

BERLIN, MAY 8, EN-ENING.

atabE J. BLADE.

Mr. Coleridge concluded his argument on behalf of the
defendant about midday. He submitted that the pre-
sumption was in favour of the legitimacy of the defendant ;
in favour of the marriage at St. George's, Hanover-square,
in 1833, followed by the birth of children ; and also in
favour of the non-commission of guilt by the parties to
.that marriage. These presumptions the Solicitor-General
had to get over, and by proving that the Milan m;.niage
in 1+25 was a good marriage according to the Austrian
law. This he had failed to do, because it was clear
from the evidence that there had been no residence of six
weeks, as required by the Austrian code, nor a due publi-
cation of the banns. Further, the defendant said that the
Milan marriage was bad because it had not been performed
by the proper curator animarum, and that by thecode
the defendant possessed that kind of interest which would
enable him to question the validity of that marriage in an
Austrian court of law. Having apologised to their lord-
ships for having occupied so much time, he said he had felt
it his du to enter into ths case at considerable length, and
expressed a hope that their decision would be in favour of
the honour of the wife of the late Sir Frederick Slade and
the legitimacy of their children.
. . . . . .

The-SoliciCor-General in rising to reply observed that
he was to a great extent responsible for the form in which
the case came before the court, believing that it afforded
the best chance of the litigation being settled in a satisfac-
tory wanner.
The Lord Chief Baron said that next to an amicable
arrangement between the parties he thought this was the
beat course which could have been adopted.
The Solicitor-General then proceeded with his reply,
but had only gone a short way in it when, shortly after
one o'clock, according to a previous arrangement, the case
was postponed until to-morrow (Thursday).

THE LUXEMBURG QUESTION.

PARIS, MAT P.

The Eceoang Mouiteur in its bulletin reviews the
various phases of the Luxemburg question up to
the present. It says : " During the preliminary
negotiations the government of the Emperor, wish-
ing to spare all susceptibilities, held itself entirely
aloof. The cabinets of the other Powers exchanged
opinions on the question, and agreed to recommend
as a basis of arrangement, the nentralisation of the
Grand Duchy, with the consequences which such a
settlement would involve, including especially the
evacuation of the fortress. Actuated only by ideas
of moderation and disinterestedness, France agreed
to this programme, thus giving a proof
of her conciliatory disposition fur which Europe
will be grateful to her. The sentiments enter-
tained by the Powers allow the hope of a favour-
able solution."
London, England, 1867-05-09

THE COMPOUND HOUSEHOLDER.

Anticipating a desperate battle on the new go-
vernment mode of enfranchising the compound householder
the Tines enters into a description of the scheme to which
it gives a general appruvsl. A dispassionate inquiry, it
says, may inspire some doubt of the value of the ma-
chinery devised for their enfranchisement, but can suggeet
no suspicion of its injustice. As the Times views the sub-
ject, neither this nor the alternative proposal of Mr. Hibbert
now espoused by the leading members of the opposition
can be said to involve any point of injustice, and the
difference between them is wholly insufficient to warrant
the tremendous issues which hang upon the choice. The
government, desiring to make every ratepayer a voter,
would make every compound householder who applies to
become a voter whiny and truly a ratepayer. Mr. Hib.
bert would leave him in an ambiguous position, ready to
come forward as a ratepayer, or to fade away into com-
pound householding at discretion. The Times looks upon
the determination to support Mr. Hibbert's amend•nent,
after the publication of the clauses last inserted in the
notice-book by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as an
instance of that recklessness of all consequences too fre-
quently manifestel whenever an opportunity is afforded
of a stand-up party fight.
The Doily lines examines in detail the arguments and
proposals of Mr. Disraeli. The landlords, it believes,
would turn out at a week's notice anyone interfering with
the system of compounding, and so well would this be
understood that it would be perfectly effectual in securing
that no application fur a vote be made. The penalty of
eviction will attach to the claim to participate in the boon
which parliament offers, and this system will be applied to
certain localities in the discretion of vestries, and as it
extends to all new registrations even above 101., it will be
an engine of positive disfranchisement whenever existing
qualifications expire. Such a method is • hundred-fold
more effectual than any fine. It will not be marvellous,
however, if such remarkable juggling with the constitution
should be the last experiment which the patience of the
country will enable it to bear at the hands of its present
ministers.

The Telegraph remarks that Mr. Disraeli's latest scheme
of making landlords pay fur their tenant.' votes, is only a
fresh exemplification of the perplexities which result from
basing the franchise on the local arralgementa of rate
collectors. It is a weak attempt to escape from
the familiar spirit which his spells have raised, but =mot
exorcise. So mach is the Tr/eon:pa impressed by the pro-
ceedings of the government, not only with regard to reform
but Hyde-park and others, that it would feel no surprise
if some influential member of parliament at any moment
should do what the exigencies of the hour, as well as the
permanent interests of the empire, demand —that is, move
a resolution of no confidence in this weak and shifty ad-
ministration.- [This step, according to the Leeds Ate reorg,
it is Mr. Lowe 'a intention to take.]
London, England, 1867-05-09

MISCELLANEOUS TOPIcs.

The Times persists in its belief that the labours of the
Conference now assembled in London will be rewarded by
thorough and durable, no lees than prompt success. The
credit will belong to England, who obtains it without risk
or sacrifice. Indeed, the part she has taken will only
have a tendency to limit ►nd define the obligations twice
contracted within the present century, and to lighten the
burden of her responsibility by extending it over a number
of powers larger than that which shared her obligations of
lilt and 1839.

Though it is natural an English government should
hesitate in giving a guarantee in the.e days of non-inter-
vention, the Pont thinks that the practical importance and
common sense of the question ought to overcome such
scruples. A cynic might observe, especi.illy if he were
• Dane, that our guarantees have not coat us much, and it
will be hard to refuse peace to Europe upon ► point of in-
definite conscience.

The Standard assumes already the peaceful settlement
of the question. The liability which we assume by our
guarantee is of the most remote kind. How much grati-
tude is due to Lord Stanley the Standard then proceeds to
show.

When the first vague desire for action of some kind ha.
been satisfied, and the resources which legislation offers
for a settlement of the question have been fully surveyed,
many persons, the Daily Ner., suspects, will be surprised
and disappointed to find how little the law can do to re-
strain the growth of what goes by the general name of ritu-
alism. Nearly all the importance of ritualism belongs to it
as a visible representation otidoctrine, and with matters of
doctrine the royal commission will have nothing to do.
The legislature can only touch the evils represented by the
name of ritualism on the outside. The necessity of con-
fession to the priest, with its kindred doctrines, is being
taught in hundreds of pulpits of the Church of England,
and churches are being built every day in order that they
may be propagated yet more widely. The authority and
