had been last for want of more generous
stage of these mournfal proesediap it came oat that when
wretched wanderers are apprehended by the police for pre-
ferring to beg rather than to starve, they are kept from
twelve to:twenty-four hours without food. What shall
we do, asks the Post, to free ourselves from the guilt and
shame of these things before they bring a judgment
upon us'
Even the professional beggar, the Star says, one is
afraid now not to relieve, knowing that only yesterday
one who looked not much unlike him lay down in his rags
on the spot where you are now solicited, and died of
utter hunger. Whole districts of London are sinking into
one vast, squalid, awful condition of helpless, hopeless
destitution. The statesmen who, hearing of these things
take no steps to better them, are the kind of statesmen
who in all times have preceded national decay or social
revolution.

The Herald asks how it cornea that the chiefs of the
Roman hierarchy in Ireland still remain passive while •
section of the catholic clergy are deliberately lending aid
and comfort to the cause of revolution ? If the Roman
bishops in Ireland had thought fit, they maid have
quelled this mutinous spirit almost in • day. If it had
seemed good to the Vatican to have sent forth the mot
crordre, even Cardinal Cullen would have felt compelled to
silence his subordinates.
The Daily News describes the principles of the new
domestic policy of the Austrian government which have
recently been indicated by Baron Boost and the ministers.
Peace with foreign powers "at almost any price" as the
first condition of national prosperity ; local self-govern-
ment in all the provinces, without permitting the °Legge-
ration of a principle to shelter treasonable designs against
the unity of the empire ; reform sad retrenchment in all
the branches of the public service ; national education ;
promotion by merit ; freedom of the press, of association,
of public meeting, of commerce and industry, of public
worship and instruction ; development of material interests
in harmony with the moral interests of the people. True
liberals must welcome with cordial satisfaction the
entrance of Austria into the family of free nations.
Reviewing the scheme recommended in the report to
the Lambeth Conference for the institution of • voluntary
spiritual tribunal, the Times says that by its proviiions
five American and two Scotch bishops might pronounce
an irreversiblo sentence on an English clergyman without
the presence of a single English bishop; and another
provision enables them to do so, if they should be in a
majority of two-thirds. It is no mitigation, but rather
an•ggravation, of the case that a plan directly calcu-
lated to produce these monstrous consequences is full of
anomalies fatal to its operation.
We learn from the Telegraph that Matilda Griggs was
yesterday released from prison and restored to her
friends.

OSBORNE, JAN. 22.

The Queen drove out yesterday afternoon,
attended by the Duchess of Roxburgh" and the lion.
Mary Lemnos, Colonel Ponsonby being in attendance
upon horseback ; and her Majesty drove In the grounds
this morning, accompanied by Princess Beatrice.
Princess Louise, Prince Arthur, and Prince Leopoldalso
went out.

A deputation from the Cutlers' Company of Sheffield, I
introduced by Mr. Roebuck, M.P.. and oonsisting of Mr.
Mark Forth, the Muter Cutler ; Mr. Henry Harrison,
and Mr. Alderman Jackson, had an interview with the
Duks of Richmond and the Right Hon. Stephen Cave,
at the office of the Board of Trade, Whitehall, yesterday,
in reference to the continued practice of importing into
this country cutlery and hardware bearing the name or
marks of Britiah manufacturers.

John Bullseesin the Queen's "Journal" evidences
of her Majesty's preference for the non-Episcopalian com-
munity established in Scotland over " the church of her
baptism," and calls Prince Albert her
attendin " Presbyteri
Scotch
an hus-
band." When the Queen first began g the
service, the primate, according to our contemporary, " if
not the bishops generally, were guilty of agreat dereliction
of duty in not putting forth privately a dutiful remon-
strance, reminding her of her peculiar relation to the
English church and the duties involved in it. There was
not any state necessity for this open adoption of the
presbyterian kirk and its worship. The alternative did
not lie between that and offending the religious prejudices
of the Scotch. The sovereign has always a large itaff of
chaplains of various grades, and one or two of these could
always have been in attendance on her during her absence

from England."
The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland are
expected to leave Albury Park in the course of the ensuing
week for the south of France for a few weeks.
The Duke and Duchess of Newcastle and family
intend to le►ve Clamber Park, Notts, early next month
for town.

The Earl and Countess Granville have joined
the company staying with the Earl and Countess Spencer
at Althorp Hall.
Lord Ruthven left town on Monday for Alex-
andria. His lordship intends making a tour In Egypt and
the Holy Land.
Mr. William Henry Gregory, M.P. for the

The list of new works published during last year
counts up 3,516 vole., at the publishing price amounting
to 1,089/. 9s. 11d. ; during the same period the number of
reprint' of books formerly issued was 1,422 vols. at the
price of 4291., making the total of 4,938 vols. at the wet
of 1,518/. 9s. 11d. This result varies little from that of
the past few years, an average of 5.000 vole. seeming to be
neer the present standard of publication.
Mr. O'Reilly, M.P., has published the first of a
series of letters in the Freeman's Journal, in reply to Mr.
De Vent's views as to the allocation of the revenues of the
Irish Established Church between the Roman catholic
clergy and the clergy of the different protestant denomina-
tions in Ireland. Mr. O'Reilly objects to the proposed
distribution of the Irish church property. "Those who
think with me," he observes, " are of opinion that we bad
better seek to have it applied to secular purposes el
national utility, entirely diaendowing the Anglican aft.
blishruent in Ireland, and thereby destroying its amend-
ancy, and leaving the catholic church in Ireland in its
present position as regards revenues, dependent ter its
support on the free offering' of catholice and snob property
as it has acquired, and is yearly acquiring, by seek free
offerings."
The celebrated German preacher Ronge bee
been cited before the examining magistrate of Frankfort,
on a charge of libel against the Order of Jesuits. The
accusation is founded on the publication by him of a fly-
sheet containing nothing more than extracts from a
manual of " morals" issued by the Jesuit Father Oury
and the use of which baa been ordered by the Bishops of
Blayence, Ratiabon, and others in the ecclesiastical semi-
naries.
The commemorative manses for the repose of

Barope are proclaiming their lan for the con-
tinuance of peace, the preparation of arms and
armed men was never so active as it is at present
on almost every ride. The Berlin Gazette records
with satisfaction that France, England, Austria,
and Prussia, are agreed in the policy " of prevent-
ing a conflagration from bursting forth in the south
of Europe," and insists on the fact that " friendly
relations between Austria and Prussia alone would
modify more than one design and one hope."
The North German Gazette also considers that the
chances of peace have become greater, and looks
forward to the time when the States of Europe will
direct their attention, not to the formation of im-
mense armies, but to internal administrative and
economical reforms. In France, Italy, and Russia
pacific declarations are also heard. But unfortu-
nately the acts of the governments do not harmo-
nise with the official and officious announce-
ments in favour of peace. In Italy the Minister
of Marine has asked the Chamber of Deputies
for a supplementary credit to meet the cost of the
armament of nine iron-plated vessels and the
alteration of the carbines of the Royal Marines.
The Spanish Chambers have unanimously passed
sa armament bill, and the government it is said
have applied to the United States for the purchase
of 50,000 needle guns. A telegraphic despatch
from Vienna mentions that the Servian govern-
ment have made a similar application at Vienna
for the purchase of 20,000 guns, and that it was re-
fused. The chambers of Stuttgard, of Munich, and
at Brussels are discussing army bills. Notwithstand-
ing the pacific declarations of the Berlin journals,
if the Turin Gazette is correctly informed, Prussia
is making immense war preparations ; her troops
are already concentrating on the Silesian and Saxon
frontiers' and with such a formidable accumulation
of military material that one would imagine we
were on the eve of a second Sadowa campaign.
The Nord, which speaks for the pacific policy of
Russia, and maintains that to that policy it is
owing that the peace of Europe has not been
broken before this time, copies an article from the
Invalide Busse, by which we find that Russia has
diminished her active army to 700,000, but that
she has an immense reserve, from which the army
could at once be increased by G 4 per cent. It is
further stated that the army being no longer com-
posed of serfs, the men are animated by the highest
spirit. The State and private factories are busily
employed in the manufacture of needle guns of
which the Invalide calculates that 800,000 will be
ready in the course of the present year. The Carl
rifle is the one adopted by the government, and the
Russian organ evidently expects it will "do
wonders." Rifled cannon and the preparation of
the fortresses are not omitted from the peaceful
anticipations of Russia. Even the Sovereign Pon-
tiff of Rome is studying the art of maintaining
peace by increasing his army to 25,000 men. Such
is the condition of Continental Europe as presented
by its press in the first month of 1808.

The Marquis Gualterio, who has been appointed
Minister of the Royal Household, is expected here
to-morrow to take possession of his new post.
The Gazette d'ltalia confirms the previous intel-
ligence of the despatch of an Italian note to the
Spanish government relative to certain passages in
the Queen's speech upon the opening of the Cortes,
and states that this step has had a satisfactory
result.
