that the difficulties to be overcome slipper to us
to largely preponderate on the Oxford aide.

Weinman Saint PAVILION was a good eatholie,
or simply a " primitive Christian,"—whether he
worked miracles or had no other agencies than
his own goodness and skill,—matters little in the
continued veneration for his same. Neither
Fenianism nor the Irish debate will disturb the
sentiment to which Irishmen of every party will
to-morrow abandon themselves. We are glad to
see that the anniversary festival of the Benevolent
Society of St. Patrick will be presided over this
year by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wm.'s,
who will have an opportunity, as he wears the
shamrock in his button-hole, of adding to the
utterances on Irish affairs which have, of late,
abounded in parliament and in the press.

PRUSSIA AND KING GEORGE.
VIENNA, limicu 16.
..

The weekly newspaper edited by Herr Warrens,
started some time ago with the object of defending
the interests of the King of Hanover, publishes a
document to-day evidently emanating from au-
thentic Hanoverian quarters. This document at-
tempts to show that Prussia fails to execute the
engagements entered into by the treaty relative to
the private fortune of King George whilst the
latter in November last completely fulfilled that
article of the treaty stipulating that he should
deliver up to Prussia the Hanoverian securities
sent away to London in 1866.

ALLEGED PERSECUTION OF JEWS AT
JERUSALEM.
BERLIN, MARCH IC.
_ .

It is announced that the Chancellor of the North
German Confederation recently telegraphed to the
Minister of the Bund at Constantinople, desiring
him to examine at once into the persecutions of
Jews stated to have occurred at Jerusalem, and, if
requisite, to take active steps for their redress.
The North German Consul immediately repaired
to Jerusalem, and procured the release of Rabbi
Ayeh from confinement, at the same time removing
Dragoman Dahud, the Prussian consular represen-
tative, from his post.
