FOREIGN NEWS.
(THIS DAY.)

THE MANIFESTO OF THE EX-KING OF
HANOVER.

The Vienna P nesse of Feb.l9 gives the following
account of the famous Hietzing fete. From the
report of the proceedings it is evident it was
intended as a political manifesto :

The fete given by the Bing of 1111110•11? yesterdayme
very brilliant. From 8 o'clock in the evening the woes
of the kurmal of the town park were crowded. h she
metre of the principal salon was arranged the " sue,
chamber" of the royal house of Hanover. The
were decorated with the Hanoverian and Austrian ee)
oms
—yellow and white—and the dresses were of the
same tints. At 9 o'clock the royal family entered. mg*
the first friendly salutations the king raised his glass end
spoke as follows :
" My deer Hanoverians,—Heceive the expression of lay
most warm gratitude at your coming here to he
present at this family fete. By this step
you have changed • foreign soil into my bud,
land. An intimate family bond of a thousand pus

their people. This same bond still subsists. ye..?
presence is the proof of it. You are the minor of the
sentiment, of all my people, • mirror which retie.*
their fidelity and attachment. I cannot sufficiently
thank you for this fidelity. Words are made,
quite. I can only my : Thanks, thanks, thud,
God's justice rewards such fidelity, and he will
reward it in this instance. There have been examples is
the history of my house of exiled princes who have Mee
restored. The first head of my house was forced to
quit his country but he returned. You all :now

and afterwards came back to his country. Thu Pron.

Hanover a free and independent king. I invite you to

I May He vouchsafe my return amongst toy people, Irlifte

people of other lands ! To our speedy return to the king.

The persons present, amongst whom were some trent,
Viennese, raised hats and handkerchiefs, and hr coed
with immense and prolonged enthusiasm. The king's
os n voice was distinely heard amongst the others, and
tears rolled down his cheeks. He then drank from the
cup, which was handed round, and all the Hanovenun
present drank after him.

THE WESLEYANS AND THE CHURCH OF

ENGLAND.

AT a time when the feelings of the Wesleyan
Methodists with regard to the Church of Eng-
land are being very generally discussed, an inci-
dent which lately occurred at Homeastle is not
without interest. It appears that a gentleman
who had officiated as curate there acquired such
respect and esteem among the Dissenting body
that he received an invitation from the Wesleyan.,
in the town and neighbourhood to undertake the
ministration of their religion. A stipend of 2001.
was offered him, with the additional attrac-
tion of an increase of 10d, as often as his
wife should present him with a child. The
naiveté of the last clause will perhaps cause some
of our readers to smile. Certainly in this country
it has not hitherto been thought necessary to offer
a premium on reckless multiplication, nor have the
country clergy been generally deemed the class
most remiss in this particular. But, passing by
this point, we believe that this occurrence is a
very fair illustration of the sentiments of the
Wesleyan body towards the Church of England.
While they justly feel a pride and confidence in
their own voluntary principle, for the most part
they entertain little or no enmity towards the Esta-
blished Church. By no sect of nonconformists are the
piety and earnestness of an individual clergyman
more warmly appreciated. But they may well
feel that the utmost goodwill towards the church
is a very different thing from allying themselves
with the extreme party represented by Dr. PUSHY,
a party which has always done its beet to obscure
those Protestant principles which are the true
link between the English Church and the whole
body of Dissenters. It is not intellectual activity,
it is sacerdotalisra that is really to be dreaded,
not only by the Wesleyan Methodists, but by all
denominations of Protestants, and most of all by
the Established Church herself. We are glad
that this truth is perceived by the Weeleyane ; if
the Established Church is to continue, she must
learn to perceive it too.

A PEER AND A PERSON.

Ti' seems that a peer is not a person, whoever
else is. A contemporary refers to the catastrophe
at Abergele in these terms : " Awful death of
" twenty persons and a peer." You do not get
at the full flavour of this till you put the con-
verse, thus : " Awful death of Twenty Peers
" and a person."

MR. MONK AND THE OW= BERVICH.—A testi-
monial will shortly be presented to Mr. C. J. Monk, M.P.,
by the revenue departments of the Civil Service, for his
untiring and suooessful exertions to restoring to its MOM•
ben the elective franchise. Subscriptions to the testi-
monial are to be limited to one shilling,a sum not ex-
oeeding 100 guineas is to be expended, and it will be in the
form of an illuminated address" prepared by Mr. Scuds-
more, assistant secretary to the Pcat.ofEce.

TECHNICAL EDUCATION, TORQUAy.—On Thurs-
day the President of the Science and Art School gave an
open entertainment to the subscribers and pupils of
the science school, in hie own beautiful grounds at
Woodfield. At five o'clock • large number of ladies and
gentlemen had assembled, and after tea, Mr. E. Vivian,
the president, presided at a 1311113iillg, at which very ex-
cellent addressee were delivered by Mr. Sheppard, Mr.
Strong, and Mr. Buckmaster. From the statement of the
latter speaker it appears that more than 100 pupils have
passed through the science chases in three years, and that
one pupil walked nearly 600 miles to attend a class in
animal physiology. He obtained a medal from the Science
and Art Deparent at the last May examination. The
success of the classes is mainly due to the earnestness of
the teacher, who is also the master of the British school,
and the co-operation of a very active committee. The
classes are held in the evening during the winter months,
at the Science and Art School, and are chiefly attended by
young men who are engaged in the day time. After the
usual votes of thanks the meeting separated.

RIR ROUMDELL PALMER.

The Time replies to Sir Roundel( Palmer's objec-
tions to the dieendowment of the Irish Church. His
reasoning, it argues, proceeds on an erroneous estimate of
the province of statesmanship, of the successes it has to
aim at and be content with. No reasonable being pre-
tends to hope, or to think it possible, to satisfy either the
Irish people or the Roman catholic, generally by the pro-
posal now before the country. No reasonable being can
expect to be able to close the long account between us.
But, though the account be not closed, yet we shall stand
better with the Irish catholics. We shall have done a
great act of justice, and shall feel comparatively at ease.
Our cause will be stronger, and it will rest with Ireland to
appreciate what we have done. If she cannot or will not
appreciate it, that will be to her own shame and loss.
The rose observes that Sir Roundel! Palmer has by no
means an easy task to perform in reconciling his zeal as a
religionist and his liberalism as a politician to the exigen-
cies of the times. He has invented and adopted a scheme
for dealing with the Irish Church intended to serve and
to save the interests of the churches (for all churches find
equal favour in his eyes) ; but then he has, for the sake
of bringing himself to that point, had to so lop and chop
the principles upon which he bases his opinions, that there
is little left in them that will be recognised by their ordi-
nary and less fettered supporters when they have left his
hand..

Sir B. Palmer supports his objection to disendowment,
says the Telegraph, by arguing that a church accustomed
to dependence on the aid of endowments oonld not so ad-
vantageously employ the voluntary principle as a church
which, in its primitive condition, had adopted that prin-
ciple. But if endowment breeds a dependence and feeble.
ness that incapacitates the Church from maintaining itself
by it own inherent strength, why, asks the Telegraph,
does Sir Boundsll Palmer insist that the enervating and
disabling influence shall be perpetuated?
The Herald expremea its high sense of Sir Roundell's
honourable and conscientious conduct en this question.
That he should have retained enough of his opinions to
deprive himself of the honour and the power which other-
wise would, according to the party calculations, have
been his in a few months, proves him a man of rare con-
Ecientionimess and integrity.

OUR OONTEMPORARIES,
(THIS DAY.) '

The Second Mowers has, remarks the Ali* News, never
pretended to be a free government ; it is nothing if not
"strong." Yet, if strength in a government consists in
baring the law and a law-abiding community on your
side; in the support of such a majority of the people that
the minority is imperceptible ; in so complete an identifi-
cation with the public interests and the public liberties that
every faction salutes you with equal respect, and the anger
of hostile parties pauses, as you pain, to do you homage:
what sort of strong government is that which is
so terrified at the epigrams of a weekly satirist that it is

obliged to make quite an armed demonstration before a
newspaper office on the morning of publication, to poet
bodies of police at a printer's Aloe and gendarmes in a
quiet street before daylight, to search the private apart-
meat. of a journalist, in short, to make a reduced copy
of a temp etst--all because the thirteenth number of M.
Henri Rochefort's Lantern* is about to be published I'
"Strong government." of this order are apt to forget that
the law is the same for sovereign and subject, and that
those who place themselves beyond and above it are liable
to 411 victims of their own example.

THE ITALIAN CAMPAIGN OF 186e3.

The controversy between the generals respecting
the Italian campaign which ended in the dis-
aster of Customs still continues. General La
Marmora has published a despatch which is calcu-
lated to remove some of the suspicion attaching
to him that he was playing into the hands of
France. This document is a letter addressed by
the latter to M. Nigra on the sth of July, 1866,
and it contains the following phrases:
I can understand that the Emperor desires to stop
Prussia, but that he should do so to the detriment of the
honour of Italy is extremely painful. To receive Venetia
as a gift from France is to us humiliating, and everyone
will believe that we have betrayed Prussia. Endeavour
so that we should be spared this hard alternative.

Berlin despatches of yesterday's date announce
that Count Bismarck intends to leave in a few days.
He proposes to go on a shooting excursion at
Schmalkaden, and will afterwards proceed to
Hanover. The Customs Parliament will probably
open at the end of the month.
The 11-orth German Gazette contrasts the assertions
of the Austrian government (in the Red Book) re-
specting the friendly feelings of that power
towards Germany with the fact that tho cabinet
of Vienna supports the schemes of King George
of Hanover ; the semi-official organ specially
relies upon the circumstance that the Hanoverian
legionaries were provided with Austrian passports
on entering France. " Such facts are enough,"
says the Gazette, "to render difficult the re-estab-
ment of a good understanding between Austria and
North Germany.". _ _ .

According to the Inclipendance there is no dif-
ference of opinion between King William and
Count Bismarck, but there is between the Prime
Minister and the moat retrograde section of the

conservative party. The result will be, according
to the Indipendance, that Count Eulenburg will go
out of the ministry, and a more liberal one be in-
troduced.

THE DISTURBANCES AT CORK.

(nor on on 001116PONDZINS)
0011 X, WZDNISDAT &WIG.

The ch•rp entered against the three men
arrested but night in connexion with the outrage in Mel•
grave-reed was investigated at the polioeeffice to-day by •
large bench of magistrates. Michael Hallman, who in
alleged to have fired from a revolver at Sub-acestables
Flanagan and Hunter, was first proceeded with. His face
appeared to have been horribly mutilated, the bridge ai
his nose having been carried away by a shot, and he seemed
to suffer much pain. The sub-constables described their

• mounter with the prisoner to have occurred precisely as
st ated in my letter this morning, end both identified
Da ineen as the man who fired the revolver at them. Sub.
inspector Egan stated, when and when the prisoner was
"net led; and the latter offering no defence, the magistrates
oomn fitted him for trial on the charge of firing at with
Intern to murder.
Bull en and Hynes, the IMO who were arrested near the
infunia.7 soon after the outrage, and in whose panda'
there w• s found the stock and barrelof • gnn,onehroringthe
banal an, i the other the stockmen next put forwardonths
charge of having arms in a proclaimed district. As
attempt wta made to identify them with the outrage en
Mr. Hugo on Sunday night; but Mr. and Mrs. Hugo,
when produe wd, failed to recognise either of the prisoners.
The gun four d with them was, however, clearly Identified
by Mr. Hugo a s that taken from his house on the coon
sion, showing Cud the prisoner' were at least indirectly
connected with the affair. The prisoners were then corn.
witted on the eh:age entered against them.
The city has been perfectly quiet during the day, and
no farther arrests have been made. The aspect of things
here, notwithstanding this apparent tranquillity,is such as
might be presented it a city in a state of siege. All the
police, patrols by day and night, carry their rides and
bayonet, while on duty ; and furthermore have the rides
on full cock and ready for instant use. Seeing this, people
generally endeavour to keep out of their track, as the
slightest awkwardness or accident in a policeman may
cause the weapon to explode. The usual service d mill.
terry orderlies is doubled, and the men are also fully arrived.
To-day two companies of Foot and two pieces of artillery
were paraded through the city, probably as a significant
hint of the force held in reserve behind the civil power se
the country.

" We fully understand the serious portion of our
internal affairs and the necessity, dictated by pure
patriotism, that our dear country should make
earnest preparations for the future marked out for
it by Providence. We consider ostentatious de-
monstrations too burdensome for the country, and
believe that preparations for the future ought to
advance in proportion to the well being of the pre-
sent. Moved by the sufferings of a kindred
people, which have enlisted the sympathies of the
whole of Christendom, we will grant it all the
assistance in our power."

RUMOURED MINISTERIAL CHANGES.
PARIS. FIB. 13, Evisnra.

The Epoque of this evening says& rumour is cur-
rent that a complete administrative change is
about to take place in a liberal sense. The modi-
fication in question would be the establishment
of a parliamentary cabinet, with M. Rouher at tho
head, supported by MM. Buffet, Segris, and de
Laguerroniere. The Epoque adds that this ru-
mour requires confirmation, but is not unlikely to
be correct. The Prue and the Liberte allude to
a similar report.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
(THIS DAY.)

The t-rti'..le a,,,cident tt, th•' Irish limited nutii
is the subject of comment iu most of our morning colt-
temporal its. The T, 'CS says the real points to be cm-
sider ed arc the prey. tae of a goods. train at so short a de,-
twice in advance of the mail. and the cause of the un-
coupling of the petroleum trucks. As collateral matters
for investigation it ought also to be considered whether a
guard's van ought not to bring up the rear of every goods
train as well of every passenger train, and whether any
train should be allowed to pass through a station
until the line between it and the next station
is known to be clear.—The Daily News observes
that it is scarcely possible to conceive that some terrible
and very exceptional carelessness must not have been ex-
hibited by somebody, and have been the true cause of the
disaster. That the luggage trucks being in the way of
the train, one of them should have been laden with a
substance which the collision turned into liquid fire, is
probably one of those strange and unaccountable fatali-
ties which sometimes arise in human affairs. The ques-
tion is, why was anything in the way of the train,
or why, something being in the way, was not the
driver warned as be approached.—lt appears to
the .Post that the immediate cause of the accident was that
the couplings of two of the trucks forming the goods train
gave way ; and this is a sort of accident against which it
is diffieu4, .f not impoesible, to make a complete provi-
sion.—The Telegraph insists that such casualties mat
happen so long as arrangements seem made to iuclude
them, and comments upon the proximity of a dan-
gerous luggage-train to a passenger-train travelling at
the rate of fifty miles an hour.—The Herald remarks that
if it be true that these trucks ran loose from the tail
of the goods train, it would seem that precautiou had
by no means gone its full length.—The Star says
that so far as theeonly two explanations yet hazarded of
the calve of the accident go, the chairman ought to per-
ceive that precautions which would suggest thetus6lves to
the least experienced mind were not taken.
The Rachel case is also the subject of general comment
this morning. The Daily News remarks that what-
ever opinion may be formed of Madame Rachel herself,
it is clear that Mrs. Borradaile has no claim upon
public sympathy. The general feeling will be
one of gladness that the case is finished, for the public
were becoming tired of this squabble between a charlatan
and her willing dupe. As for Lord Rauelagh, although
the .Daily Yews acquits him of "having boon made
beautiful for ever," it is less easy to account for his
having been made a cat's-paw.—The Times says that, in
view of the whole facts of the case, a jury should have
hesitated to find a verdict of acquittal is only compre-
hensible on the supposition that they failed to see on
which side the burden of proof lay.—The Si,ir is of the
same opinion.

together in clomer poximity than theylweald be
in an ordinary awisraning bath. In the latter
they might keep in different corners, a &gr.,*
of privacy impossible at Broadatairs, where the
i•ystem does not appear oven to aim at &coney.
'the result is such as may be imagined, but net
written. With a bay whioh, though snug, is
bufficiently large for two or for twenty sets of
bathers, the machines are huddled together in a
corner apparently for the solo purpose of out-
raging the proprieties of life. Both Ramsgate
and Margate arc far from sinless in this particular,
but they have at least a theory of deoorum. The
bathing at Broadstairs suggests a prurient bur-
, iesque of Japan.

CAI-TION Tn " GLOW-WORM " tREEKERB.—On
Thursday evening week as Mr. Henshaw, of Queen's
Head-lane, Bedford, was walking up the Cemetery-road
he saw an object shining in the hedge, which he took to
be a glow-worm. Thinking it would please his children
ho secured the glittering prize, wrapping it in his hand-
kerchief, 'Which he placed in his hat. On arriving at his
house Mr. Renshaw proceeded to expose the object to his
family, but when he had uncovered it he found the
haakerchief was on tire. The supposed glow-worm then
ascended to the ceiling of the shop, spreading itself out
in flames, which ignited an American cloth which was on
the counter, and filled the shop with smoke. Attempts
were made to extinguish the flames, but not before Mr.
Henshaw's bands and clothing were severely burnt.. On
making the matter known to Mr. Rich's, chemist, he gave
it as lus opinion that the combustible matter was phos-
phorous. How it came in the hedge, and for what object
it was placed there, remains a mystery.—Catabridge
I'dspendoit.

AC STRANGE AFFAIR.—On Wednesday last Mr.
J. W. Barrett, of Lynn, surgeon, was to have been mar-
ried to an estimable young lad t daughter of a clergyman
who recent) undertook duty for a short time
in the nei t bourhood, with which be is also connected
by family ties. A number of the friends of the bride and
bridegroom were invited, and arrived from various parts
of the country, and the bridegroom's house on the Lon-
don-road had been duly prepared for residence ; but, to
the astonishment of all parties, Mr. Barrett suddenly dis.
appeared—leaving Lynn by the London train on Tuesday
morning, and sending a note to the young lady's brother
to the effect that he did not intend to return. We Ull.
deretand that he has given a different statement of his in-
tuitions to a relative of his own.—Cambridge Independent.

action of tracer, in wfliekthe bankrupt was nonsuited.
There was only one other creditor for U.
Mr. Doris opposed, and saielitat the bankrupt hnd
improperly brought an action of troveragainst Sir Robert,
Afilick, by which he bad incurred costs of 601. The
bankrupt having been engaged as a cook in Sir Robert's
family, suddenly left her situation without notice, and
upon her boxes being detained, immediately took legal
proceedings, instead of previously applying in a proper
way for the delivery of the boxes. The sitting for the
choice of assignees had not yet taken place, but would be
held next week.

After hearing Mr. Goatley's clerk for the bankrupt,
Mk Honour directed the application to stand over mild
after the tint meeting had been held.
