TALSINTATIONB TO TAB 4BUFIBISHOP OF
CANTERBURY.

Yesterday afternoon a number of addresses
were presented to Dr. Tait, the Areliteshop of Canterbury
elect. The presentation took place at Willies-rooms, and
the large chamber was almost completely filled by clergy
men and laity, who had come either to take part in or to
witness the ceremony. Mrs. Tait and three little girls
occupied one of the front benches ; and among the clergy-
men and gentlemen present were Archdeacons Hale and
Sinclair, Lord Eltary, the Dean of Westminster, Dr. T.
Twiny Sir Walter Farquhar, Canons Nepean and Jen-
nings, Prebendaries Martineau and Blomlleld, and the
President of Sion College. Archdeacon Hale presented an
address signed by 722 clergymen of the diocese of London.
The Archbishop elect replied as follows:—(rev. and dear
brethren, the bond which has united us during the last
twelve years cannot be severed without pain to me.
When I was appointed to this bishopric I came here on
known to mast of you, little acquainted with the metro-
polis or its clergy, except through usual visits. I suc-
coaled one whose praise was in all the churches at home
and abroad, who had gone in and out amongst 3 ou for nearly
thirty yeare as the friend and comae/ler ail true father
in Ged of a whole generation of claw. but if I under-
thok the task which fell to ine oa itis resignation with
fear, I was soon encouraged by the kindness with which
you received me, and that kindinue has continued ever
since. A bishop is powerless w:th.sut the hearty co-ope-
ration of hie clergy. To you, the archdeacons and
rural deans, and to all my reeerend brethren, I
owe a deep debt of gratitude it the good work so
happily originated by my predecessor hue not languished
during those yearn. You speak of our oonnootiuu with
the laity, and of the common efforts in which we have all,
both clergy cud laity, been in:pigs:el, in the endeavour, to
conciliate the affections and protecte the welfare°, our
poorer brethren of the labouring claims. I trust that
what we have been able to do together iu this matter is
but the beginning of labours which, long continued, oily,
by God's blessing, bear much fruit, bring rich end pobr
more truly together, and curing evils ever ready Li.sprieg
up in all great cities in a time of far advanced medies-
hon. In such works must ever lie a vary large portion
of the duties of the Bishop and clew of and of
the lay members of the church of h'Ugland who aid theist
by their direct help. And here allow me to re-
mind you that in the many varieties of opini n
which in a diocese of 1,000 clergymen we must naturally
expect to find amid the freedom of our reformed church,
it is in the proved fact of an harmonious and hearty uni
in for many years such works, undertaken in the anise f
Christ, that we find at once the best answer to those w
for their own ends, would exaggerate our pointa of • -
Penmen and also the boat hops for oar charch's wattles-

ITALY.
FLORENCE, Dom 11.
. In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies,
the bill granting to the government the provisional
exercise of the budget for January and February
came on for discussion. The committee appointed
to report. on this bill proposed an article declaring
that the payment of the Italian quota of the Pon-
tifical debt should be meanwhile responded. Signor
Cembrey Digny declared that the government
refuscd to accept the proposal of the committee.
After several speeches pre and con, General
llcnabrea said :--'• The Pontifical debt cannot
bo confounded with the Roman question. When
in 1867, subsequent to the Roman movement, the
Chamber by its vote on the motion of Signor
.Valerio suspended the payment of the Pontifical
debt, the government consulted the Council of
&ate, whose opinion, dated Gth of February,
1868, decided that the Italian government was not
released from the obligation of paying the quota
of the debt." General Menabros added The
suspension of this payment cannot damage the
Pontifical government, but only its creditors who
confide in the fulfilment of the obligation
formally assumed by the Italian government.
Such suspension would be contrary to law, con-
trary to justice, and weld only create fresh own-
plications, and fresn embarrassment at home and
abroad."
Count Cambray-Digny again spoke, and warmly
opposed the proposal of the committee. He con-
sidered the continuation of the payment under
discussion a question of honour and good faith.
He denied that the government paid the Pontifical
debt through the intermediary of France, and said
that the payment was made direct to thecreditora
through Messrs. Rothschild. Signor Ratazzi
defended the suspension of the payment. Finally
the proposal of the committee was rejected by
211 votes against 111. The chamber then
adjourned till the 12th of January.

THE REVOLUTION IN SPAIN.

MADRID, Dam Ls.

The experiment of universal suffrai,e is being
this day tried throughout Spain, as this is the day
appointed by the Provisional Government for tile
election of " ayuntamientos"--answering to our
common councilmen.
The papers are full of recommendations of the
various candidates, and of exhortations to order
and solemnity in the act of using the electoral
right for the first time. In Madrid, up to the
hour at which I write, the greatest possible har-
mony has prevailed.
From Cadiz we learn all is quiet. The troops
entered on Sunday amidst acclamations. Most of
the leaders of the insurrection have made their
escape, principally to Gibraltar. Some, ha waver,
have not been so fortunate. amongst whom is
Salosehea, the chief of all. He and others have
been committed to prison, and are to be tried by a
acmmission. It is not supposed this
commission is anything but a matter of form, audit
hi believed the Provisional Government will cause
all to be released.

Don Amebic' Escalento, who on the 21th Sep-
tember assumed the command of the citizen
soldiers at Madrid, and whose presenee here was
evidently a difficulty to the Provisional Govern-
ment so great as to induce them to find him
an office at Bejar, has receited an invitation from
the republican party of that town to offer himself
for the Cortes. He has replied in the affirmative,
saying that the same honour had already boon
offered to him by other places, ou condition that
be would vote for a monarchy, but ho had refused,
being determined to work for the republic, and
for that only.
The Bank of Spain is not in a sound state. With
a view to case the minds of holders of its notes the
papers announce that before the end of this month
it will receive eighty millions of reals (800,0001.)
in gold bars, which will be ,immediately coined
for circulation. Meantime its notes are at a
discount.

there *ere other r.emons rendered it some-
eidett dAmk 'tee stoma the 'esiisaday, the
strongest being that the municipality of Pesaro,
Roasini's bitth-place, had been invited •to
attend, and were already either in Flo-
rence, or on the way—so the funeral
cereincny took place. The commencement W
announced for eleven o'clock, but everyone de-
sitons of seaming a good place had found hie w:sy
long before that time to the church. An open
passage had been left from the central front door,
up which those who had been favoured with spe-
cial tickets passed to the reserved space in front
and at the sides of the high altar, on the right of
which was the: orchestra with its two hundred per-
foment ; the deputations from the chief bodies of
the state and the members of their families being
in front. and the strangers and foreigners —E-ielish
and Italians mustering in great force—ooeupying
the scuts to the left. By the time fixed for the
ccmmtncemcnt of the service Santa CrOCI! W:44
closely crowded in every corner, but the very bed
weather was perhaps the cause of its not tieing in-
eonverit ntly overcrowded. I cannot say that the
into nal decoration of the church was market by
either tile splendour or the tastefulness which the
occusion would have justified; but perhaps these
cbarectetistice were purposely reserved for the
future service on the arrival of the body. The
orchestra, about two hundred strong, was under
the joint direction of Mebellini and Gioveubini,
the first fur the vocal and the second for the in-
strumental music. The execution of the 12 ?queen
was in I he highest degree creditable considering the
short time employed in the rehearsal ; it was even
the finest display of choral music which I have
heard for a long time in Florence; but its
effect was sadly marred by the unappreeiating
and even inattentive demeanour of the audience,
who certainly for the most part seemed to be in a
frame of mind suite the reverse of that with which
one should participate in a grand funeral solem-
nity. The Florence newspapers of yesterday
evening and of this morning speak of the deeply
moved appearance of all present. I can only say
I could discover no signs of such emotion, nor has
it been visible to any other person present whom I
Lallo questioned on the subject. At one point of
the performance, a sudden, striking, and most
appropriate effect was produced by the celebrated
violinist Sivori playing, just at the elevation of
the Host, a solo, the air of the prayer in Rossini's
Afthar. It was admirably given, and the intro-
duction at such a time and place of one of the
most exquisite pieces from the sublime
work wbich will always place Rossini in the first
lank of the masters of the sacred musical drains,
told beyond all question immensely on the lis-
teners. The service finished at about one o'clock.
As I left the church, and whilst still Mending on the
flight of steps, before descending into the Santa
Croce square. my attention was arrested by the
singularly engaging and intellectual couetenanee
of one who bad likewise been present to hear the
Requiem. A gentleman perhaps some sixty
Beats of age, with silvery locks and heart,
accompanied by a lady, a youth, and two
young girls, was gazing from the topmost
step on the crowd in the square as it flowed
enamels past the statue of Dante. Whilst
watching with curiosity the human stream before
him, he was himself an object of keen, inelisguised,
yet respectful interest to a party of young Auglo-
Italian girls only a few steps off. I could over-
hear one saying to the rest, " I am sure it must be
he, he is so like the prints." At length one of
the young girls drew near to the lady accompany-
ing the silver-haired stranger, and said, Pray
excuse the liberty, but is not that Mr. Long-
fellow !." "To be sure it is," was the reply.
" Oh, I am so happy I have seen him," was the
instant and spontaneous exclamation • " that
really is a treat ; that is worth a great deal more
than the Requiem." The young Anglo-Italian
then retreated to rejoin her own party, but her
remarks had been communicated both to the
American poet and to the two girls whom he was
holding by the hand, and with a charming frank-
ness they all came forward and spoke a few words
of natural and simple courtesy; there was also a
kind shake of the hand, facts which I have little
doubt will, throughout the whole lives of those to
whom they were addressed, lend a sweeter per-
fume to the verse of Evangeline and Hiawatha.

INSUBORDINATION BY CONVICTS AT CHATHAM.—
In consequence of some of the moat desperate and w wet
characters among the convicts under condnement at the
Chatham convict establiahnieut St. Mary's, having laun
guilty of amanita on the prison warders, together with
other acts of grata insubordination, similar, in some re-
spects, to those which preceded the mutinous outbreak
smug the convicts at Chatham which created as great
an amount of alarm a few Teen since, an investigation
los been made into all the areunntanoes, at the rison,
by. the director of convict establishments, assisted by the
prison officials. On the &annuli being made on the war-
ders, the governor of the prison immediately had the one-
victs concerned in the outrage set •ed and paced in irons,
hile pi ompt measures were adopted to prevent any furt' ler
acts of ineubordinatiou on the part of the other convicts.
The result of the investigation subsequently instituted
elicited that the attack and assault on the warders was
made by three of the marlins, each of whom was coder
/entente of lengthened periods of penal servitude for rob-
beries with vioce. Me result of the investigation held
at the prison terminated in three convicts concerned in the
assaults on the prison modem being each ordered to re-
