wanting to the effect that that great man had been
arrested by the clouds of Cossacks now infesting and
ravaging those dominions. Yet, in spite of these
tvSss.
sinister reports, which sta. in need of every possible
corroboration, we are still sa uine that the Chief of
the Hungarians will evade the grasp of his bitter and
unrelenting enemies, and that before many weeks
have elapsed he may stand upon the shores of this
land of freedom—the guest as well as the admiration
of England. Then into his hands we may pour the
guerdon of an heroic and unsullied patriotism, the
spontaneous evidence of the homage and sympathy of
Great Britain.

While day by day we are receiving the most
mournful corroboration of the disastrous intelligence
recently obtained from Hungary, we can point with
the most elevated satisfaction to a document pub-
lished in another column, a document the existence of
which we have more than once intimated—we mean
the Memorial addressed to the Prime Minister and to
the Foreign Secretary, by several members of
the Imperial Legislature. That memorial, the pro-
duction of the Noble Lord, the Earl FITZWILLIAM, ex.
presses to her Majesty's Government in eloquent terms,
and with befitting distinctness, the feelings prevalent
throughout these islands in regard to the treatment
of Hungary—feelings of horror at the atrocious
violation of so many sacred rights by the Austro.
Russian Coalition, and of mingled pain and indigna-
tion at the culpable indolence of the British Cabinet.
Elsewhere, also, in this evening's impression of our
journal, will ,be found a very simple and logical
exposure of one of the greatest humbugs in this age
of delusion—to wit, the well known squad of
Utopians who are at present disporting themselves
in the French capital, under the conciliatory
title of the Peace Congress. The frivolity of
their arguments, the utter and preposterous
impracticability of their schemes, and the monstrous
and evil consequences which have followed, from a
recent experiment of their principles, are therein
clearly and honestly particularised. In truth, it
requires no very elaborate effort at persuasion to
demonstrate to the comprehension of any sane man
that the much eulogised non-intervention system (the
nostrum or panacea of these benevolent, but very short-
sighted enthusiasts) has recently tarnished the repu-
tation of England, while it has desolated Hungary
with carnage, and rapine, and arson, and murder, and
bombardment, leaving its fields to be ravaged by bar-
barians, its fairest cities to be given up to pillage and
conflagration, its women to be deflowered, its men to
be butchered, and its holiest rights to be trampled
down under the heel of an accursed Despotism. Such
are the infamous results of that mawkish sentimentality
whose predictions are nothing less than the ravings of
a delirium arising out of the fever of a diseased phi-
lanthropy.

The report of the Registrar-General on the state
of the health of London during the week states that
7,470 lives have been destroyed in London alone
from cholera since the commencement of the
epidemic, and the Registrar very justly adds, that
while the present epedemic has excited some talk and
terror, the efforts which have hitherto been employed
to combat it look feeble and insignificant when con-
trasted with the vast means and agency which are
brought to bear by the nation in other fields for the
protection of life and property.
We have Sanitary Commissioners and Commis-
sioners of Sewers, each with a well-paid staff of
officials at their command, and when we endeavour to
ascertain what they have done to arrest the progress
of cholera by removing its causes, we find that
with the exception of the adoption of that very ques-
tionable measure, the flushing of the sewers, by which
their filthy and putrid contents have bee❑ disturbed
and diffused, and the Thames polluted and rendered a
medium for the propagation of contagion, as any one
who travels on it may satisfy himself, by the evidence
of his own nostrils, these two Boards of Commis-
sioners have done nothing. The Commissioners of
Sewers have indeed stated their readiness to receive
any plans which may be sent in for the effec-
tual drainage of London, but they are too much
occupied with the squabbles of Mr. CHADWICK
and Mr. LESLIE to do more than " receive" plans
which appear to be treated by them some-
what after the fashion in which petitions are
treated by Parliament. Among the various plans
which have been thus ordered to be laid on the table,
two have more especially excited the attention of en-
gineers, scientific men, and the public, viz., that of
Mr. W. YATES FEEEBOBY and that of Mr. RICHARD
DOVER. Mr. FREEBODY, in his letter to the Com-
missioners, thus proceeds to state the objects which he
proposes to effect. He says—

" The first plan is to obtain an efficient supply of
water—sufficient to cleanse at any given time all the
sewers under your control, and constantly afterwards to
flow in sufficient volume to prevent accumulations therein
of noisome materials or other obstructions.

" The other design is to flush that part of the channel
of the River Thames between Batters a and Greenwich,
so as to obviate along its course the deposit of offensive
matter—a measure, I presume, necessary to be adopted,
in the event of your arriving at the determination that
the River Thames is still the best practicable out-fall for
the drainage of so vast a system as the one now under
your care and control."
Having explained the method which he proposes to
adopt for the purpose of obtaining an efficient supply
of water, Mr. FEEBBODY proceeds as follows :

" Should you, after mature consideration, elect to con-
tinue the drainage of the metropolitan sewers to the
valley of the Thames, I have next to direct your atten-
tion to the second proposal I desire to bring under your
notice, viz., to flush that part of the channel of the River
Themes between Battersea and Greenwich. I purpose
to effect this by placing across the river, at a point be-
tween Battersea and Wandsworth, a solid dam of
masonry, pierced by seven locks. The lock-gates may,
very generally, be kept open, and tho tidal and downfal
currents allowed to pass unobstructed ; but in process
of time, or more especially in dry seasons, the river
throughout its populous vicinity —from Battersea to
Greenwich—may, from its continuing to be the out-fall
of above 140 sewers, have a considerable quantity of soft
foetid matter deposited in its course that would need re-
moval ; and, at present, there is no agency under your
control that will effectively perform that duty. To in-
quire your power to erect such a work is unimportant
hero ; the sewers, as at present constituted, have a ten-
decoy to pollute the river, and to cause obstructions in
its channel that may become insalubrious. I will, there-
fore, assume that the required authority to ameliorate
the conditions of those evils will be intrusted to your
Commission when found requisite.
" Were these locks constructed, their action when em-
pl )yed would be as follewl:—During the flow of the tid:
the gates would all remain (pen until high water,
and the tidal watere would, as usual, run up to Tedding-
ton Lock, with the varied heights due to ordinary causes.
From the time of high water the gates (except for pass-
ing vessels) would remain closed for about four hours of
the six and a half hours (which is about the duration) of
an ordinary ebb tide. By this means the channel of the
river, fur a length of twelve miles five furlongs, would be-
come one vast lock-pool, of an average width of 154
yards, and assuming a medium tidal lift of only 6 feet over
t.:is entire distanc:., it would give 185,081,520 cubic feet
of water, to be passed along the river from Battersea to
Greenwich, and probably below, in a given time, and
wi!li a controllable velocity. The water so conserved
would by this means be brought into use at a period
when most needed for purposes of salubrity, viz., during
the two hours preceding the time of low water, and any
inconvenience caused thereby to navigation could not
exceed what is now often experienced in redly seasons
(wi,en the whole valley of the lit er between Oxford and
Teddington is flooded) the sluice area so governing the
rate of current as never to permit it to exceed the velo-
city generally cells, quent on ordinary freshes.
"in order to preserve the sides of the river from de-
posits of filthy material, principally those sites varied
almost diurnally, between high and low water marks,
many of the minor sewer out-falls should be united into
one common channel, and conducted downwards to a con-
venient discharge point, by drains of the usual construc-
tion, or by cast-iron tubes. It is also very important
that greater care should be taken with that part of the
various out-fall sewers necessarily left open on the site
nearest to low-water marks. These outlets should all
be properly graduated and proportioned, so as to avoid
deposit near that spot, and to retain the full benefit of
the relative gravity due to the force of flush obtainable,
the desideratum being to carry the sewer contents as far
into mid-stream as possible.
There is one great and to our minds insuperable
objection to this plan, it still makes the Thames the
receptacle for all the filthy and corrupted sewage of
the metropolis, thus turning it into a purveyor of
infection to all who live upon its banks. The plan
of Mr. DOVER, as explained in his recently pub-
lished pamphlet,* and in his letter to the Commis-
sioners of Sewers, is not open to this objection, and
while it maintains the Thames in a state of compara-
tive purity, it turns the sewage to profitable account,

of each sewer, and, with anti-contagious and innoxious
de. putrefying chemical agents, fixing and precipitating
the ammoniacal and other valuable properties therein,
and then converting the residuum into a cheap portable
guana or manure, of extremely fertilizing powers, for
agricultural and horticultural purposes, when spread
upon or drilled into the ground. It was also repre-
sented that my system of operation does not require the
lowest of any of the present levels [at low water mark]
to be raised; on the contrary, it will be more advanta-
geous to me to have the wells ten or even twenty feet
below the lowest of the present levels of sewers in
London.

"It is proved beyond all doubt that a disinfecting
agent is known, by which sewage can be converted into
guano, to 'be employed for the production of food,' and
that by the aid of this agent all sewage can be rendered
a source of profit to the Government, the manufacturers
of gnaws, the farmers, the agricultural population, and,
in tact, to the whole community. Also that the sewage
of London (and every other city and town) can be con-
verted into guana, with sanitary as well as pecuniary
advantage.
A very large revenue and gain can accrue to the
Government, and this city in particular, and to the
community in general, by the conversion of the sewage
of this vast metropolis into guana; and the millions
sterling per annum of value [in sewage] now wasted so
uselessly down the Thames, it has been proved practi-
cally need be wastel no longer.
" The agent will de-putri-y the sewage, or any mat-
ters commonly passing through the sewers, emitting
putrid or rotten smell or scent, by fixing and precipi-
tating the valuable fertilizing properties, whereby they
era preserved and rendered available for agriculture or
horticulture when spread upon or drilled into the ground.
By itself, the residuum, or solid of the sewage, will net
pay; whereas, by being disinfected and converted into
guana, it can produce a very large revenue to the Go-
%ernment, besides a very large profit to the manufac-
turers, and be sold to the agricultural community at little
more than half the price of the Peruvian."

But this is not all the advantage which Mr. Dovaie
proposes to accomplish
" After the sewage is disinfected, and the solid preci-
pitated, the supernatant water' is available and of value
tor sundry purposes [bleaching, washing, and purifying
floors and rooms in houses, or linen and clothes, used in
cases of typhus or other fevers, or where cholera is, or
may have been raging; also for washing slaughter-
houses, &c.]"
Nay, this supernatant water becomes a most power-
ful agent for the cleansing and disinfecting of
sewers during the remainder of its course, for on being
returned into the sewer it deprives completely the
contents of the sewer of smell, de putrefying them in
fact, and rendering them innocuous. Mr. DOVER thus
continues :

" The works requisite for taking up and disinfecting
the sewage are neither complex nor large, and can be
established at the exit of each sewer into the Thames,
or in any other part of London more-convenient! The
sewage to be pumped up by steam-power into tanks or
vats averaging from one to three thousand gallons each,
and disinfecting progressively whilst filling, as the agent
fixes and precipitates all the matters that will putrefy
(and valuable therefore as fertilizers), leaving the super-
natant water clear, and free from offensive smell. By
the time the tank is full, its contents will be ready for
filtering a rEgyptien. The residuum is then removed
for draining upon the premises [if there is sufficient
space], or run into barges for transport to other pre-
mises, up or down the river. Thus all the offensive and
putrid or putrefying matters now running disadvanta-
geously and wastefully, out of London into the Thames,
a auld be made available fur agricultural and horticul-
tural purposes, and to national profit."
We were present a few days ago at some experi-
ments which were performed for the purpose of
testing the merits of Mr. DOVER'S plan, and the result
of those experiments was most satisfactory. A bucket
full of sewage was taken from the mouth of one of the
common sewers as it was emptying itself into the
Thames at low water. The effluvia proceeding from
this was, as may be imagined, most offensive. The
sewage having been placed in a glass receptacle, had
poured into it the disinfecting agent ; in the space
of a few minutes the process of de•putrefaction had
taken place—the guana had been precipitated and the
supernatant fluid was perfectly clear and quite free
from any disagreeable smell. It exhaled a slightly
acid odour, arising from the fact of its retaining a
sufficient portion of the disinfecting agent in solution
to enable it in its turn to act to a certain extent as a
deodoriser and deputrefier. The proposal of Mr.
DOVER appears to us worthy of every attention; it is
cheap, simple, efficacious, and will preserve the
Thames from pollution.
But these plans only go to remedy one portion, and
that the smallest, of the evil under which we are la-
bouring. What is to be done in cases where there
are no sewers ? Neither of these plans would be of
any avail in such cases as the following, which we
quote from the Registrar-General's report ea--
" On the 9th August a stockbroker died at No. 12,
Albion-terrace, Wandsworth-road; a widow lady and an
old domestic servant at No. 6; in the five preceding
days in the same terrace the daughter of a grocer, a
child of five years of ago, had died at No. 1; the widow
of a coach proprietor and a commercial clerk, at No. 2;
a gentleman's widow at No. 3; a surgeon's daughter at
No. 4; a spinster of 41 at No. 5; the wife of a Dissent-
ing minister, his mother, a widow lady, and a servant at
No. 6; a young woman of 21 at No. 10; a gentleman at
No. 12, where the stockbroker died; a commercial clerk
and a young woman of 19 at No. 13, where a young
woman also died on Jaly 28th; a gentleman's wife at No.
14, who had seen her daughter die there the day before.
The nineteen persons died of cholera, many of the in-
habitants of the terrace were dispersed; and the deaths
of several have been registered elsewhere. 6lt appears,'
says the registrar, Mr. Frost, that at No. 13, inhabited
by Mr. Biddle, where the first death occurred, and
where two deaths were afterwards registered, the refuse
of the house had been allowed to accumulate in one of
the vaults (which is a very large one) for about two
years, and when removed last week the stench was
almost intolerable, there being about two feet of wet
soil filled with maggots. The drains had also burst,
overflowed into the tank, and impregnated the water
with which the houses were supplied. On the back
ground, in the distance, was an open ditch, into which
nearly the whole of the soil of Clapham runs.' "
We cordially concur in the eloquent denunciations
of the Registrar-General against the murderous
car elesseess with which the contents of Mr. BIDDLE'E
cellars were suffered to accumulate; but how can it be
expected that private individuals will go to the expense
of erecting sewers and drains, when the Government
of the country sets them the example of leaving the
refuse and drainage water of one of the largest public
establishments in the neighbourhood of the metropolis
to accumulate in cesspools, forming centres for the
diffusion of poisonous miasma, becoming, in short, hot-
beds for cholera.? Our readers will scarcely believe
that Woolwich, with its enormous Government esta-
blishments, and its densely crowded population, is the
greater portion of it undrained to this very
hour, and that for the draining of the small portion
of it, in which sewers have been recently built, the
public is indebted not to the Government, not to the
exertions of the inhabitants of Woolwich themselves,
',tit to the North Kent Railway Company, at whose
expense the sewers have been erected, and More es-
' cially to Mr. M‘GBrooß, the excellent and able
Chairman et the company, who has added to the
many obligations which he has conferred on the
public by his incest'; stile and praiseworthy exer-
t:e ns in this matter of the Woolwich drainage. The
company, in carrying un the works of their line
in the neighbourhood of Woolwich, found that
they were constantly breaking into the cess-
',cols, in which the filth of Woolwich
was collected, and the overflow from which at one
time appeared likely to drown their works in a sea of
corruption. Mr. M‘Gnrcos, with his wonted energy
and decision, immediately undertook the substitution
of a proper system of drainage, and the people of
Woolwich are indebted for the removal of these re-
rervoirs of pestilence, not to the Government, not to
the Sanitary Commissioners, not to the Sewers Corn-
missioners, but to the extension of the railway system.
It is one, and that not the least of the advantages
of the extension of railways, that they are invariably
accompanied by the introduction of an efficient system
of drainage ; and the public will find that, probably
after all, the only really effective sanitary board is a
board of railway directors. And this case proves how
much better it is to trust to private enterprise for the
accomplishment of great useful public works, than to
that most inefficient, most expensive, and most ob-
structive of all contrivances—a public board of paid
mmiasioners.

Is there never to be an end to clerical vagaries ?
Scarcely has the public mind recovered from the
shock occasioned by the outrage upon decency per-
petrated by the torturer of the unfortunate MARY
BALL, when a Reverend Gentleman, in the centre of
the metropolis, exhibits the most heartless features of
intolerance by refusing to administer the rites of
Christian burial to a youth who met his death by
failing from a housetop whilst engaged, as it is sup-
posed, in a burglarious attempt.
In the case of the chaplain of the
Coventry gaol the revolting conduct of that
functionary was followed by his virtual dis-
missal from his situation by the visiting jus-
tices, and Sir GEORGE GREY has very properly
signified to those gentlemen his entire concurrence in
the course pursued by them, namely, the immediate

suspension of Mr. CHAPMAN, with a view to his
ultimate removal from the office which he so vilely
desecrated. Whether his frenzied conduct resulted
from brutish ignorance, from coarse cruelty, or from any
other assignable motive, he is manifestly unfit to be
permitted the further exercise of any influence or
authority. By way of bringing the wretched
woman to a fitting sense of her awful situation,
he enters hercell a lighted candle, and
seizing her
hand, a
nd, vdeliberately holds it over
sith
the scorching flame, despite her agonized
struggles to get free, not, we are willing to believe,
in order to gloat over her writhings, but, forsooth,
to give her a foretaste of the torments of hell-fire. An
act of more astounding fatuity and fanaticism could
hardly have been committed in the darkest days of
monastic superstition and intolerance. It is truly
grievous to have to record in the middle of the nine-
nth
of tu
the r
Established piece of conduct, on the part of a
pastor tablished Church of England, which
tee cen
would have entitled him to rank as a zealous
and approved familiar of the Holy Inquisi-
tion. Perhaps the Reverend Gentleman conceived
that as St. DUNSTAN most effectually routed
the Devil by griping his nose with a
pair of red-hot tongs, so he might exorcise the
Spirit of Evil from the condemned creature by the
application of the fiery torture. The question in
proportion which he propounded to her was truly
edifying : if such was the pain endured by the burn-
ing of a single member at a taper's flame, for the
space of two minutes, what must be the torments of
hell, where her whole frame vrouW be in combustion
for hundreds of years. It may be that in speaking
thus he meant to convey a lively sense of the
pleasures of purgatory, and, indeed, the mind of
the sacerdotal tyrant strikes us as being one likely to
bdeefiolbesdeubrye
the
eb
impure
thepur
estros
pitchy o
monstrosities of that mongrel clouds of Puseyism and
heresy. Fortunately, however, the days of the faggot
and the pile are passed away. Auto da-fes are obso-
lete in England, and even the cry of the victim of a
minor torture is not suffered to sound unheeded in
the dungeon walls. Of all species of tyranny, the
priestly is the most abhorrent to the British mind,
and any attempt at its revival serves but to provoke
the unanimous and unqualified indignation of honest
and independent men, and to call down crushing con-
demnation on the head of him why is wicked or weak
enough to introduce its hideous form anew upon the
scene.

In the present case the civil aut;horities have acted
promptly and efficiently, and we trust that the. ec-
clesiastical powers will record their approval of the
wholesome example set by the visiting justices of
Warwickshire, and, by a marked admonition and re-
buke, prevent any recurrence of s:uch a violation of
public decency. We need scarcely say that we are
far from being influenced by the slightest feeeling
of personal towards the 11:.9verend RICHARD
CHAPMAN ; our observations are elicited solely by
considerations of the public good, and we sincerely
trust that in the discharge of our ;duties as impartial
journalists, we shall never again be called upon to
animadvert on a case of similar notoriety.

With regard to the Reverend Mr. JONES, the
curate of the parish of St. Paul's, iCovent-garden, to
which we have previously allude d, we feel equally
shocked, surprised, and disgusted,. What were the
grounds upon which he dared to' deny the decent
ceremonials of sepulture—rites v srhich are for the
edification of the living, and not fox the benefit of the
insensible corpse ? The Rubric of his Church
enjoins that those rites shall not be extended to "any
that die unbaptized, or excommunit ate, or have laid
violent hands upon themselves," but there is no
other exception. Nevertheless, it seemed meet to the
diseased conscience of this strai't-laced curate to
Qxtend the penalty. He first s might to drag his
Bishop into the mire, but his emcleavours were in-
effectual, his Lordship being out of town. He
then took upon
.himself the detests ble responsibility
of refusing to read the ordinary service over the
body. The expostulations of the churchwarden
were set at nought. That functionary, in
order, if possible, -to obviate. the unpleasant
consequences which appeared lain ninent for the
family of the deceased were ve r:y properly deter-
mined to bury their unfortunate reilative in their own
private grave—proceeded to a congregation of
divines, who held their sitting, somewhere in
Southampton-street, and one o f their body had
the good sense to bring the proceedings to a
close, and performed the fune n.l service, feeling
convinced that no minister, when duly called
upon, had a right to refuse execuVen g the duties of his
office in this respect. Can it be •a matter of wonder
that the ranks of Dissent are copiously recruited when
such fantastic tricks are played by the parsons of the
Church of England ? If the heada of that Establish-
ment are bent upon accomplishing • its ruin, they can
adopt no more efficacious course I.ti ian to countenance
the freaks of the Rev. Messrs. CHAPA lAN and JONES, and
they will, ere long, have the satisfaK•tion of finding the
edifice tumble about their ears. '2,Chere is, they may
depend upon it, a strength of put die opinion which
will sternly repel the encroachmen:Ps of fanatic domi-
nation, and whose warning voice ahould put a sum-
mary end to the exhibition of sultth lugubrious far-
cicalities.

GERMANY

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA AND lIUNGARY.

There is little news from Hungary. The -Vienna
Gazette of the 24th publishes a bulletin of General
HAYNAU, announcing that, on the 18th, the number
of Hungarian deserters in lais camp was 18,000, and
that the Magyar infantry was in complete disso-
lution. The corps of insurgents, who were flying
before the Imperial troops, buried the cannon
which they could not take away. " The san-
guinary drama," says General HAYNAU, in one
of his last proclamations, " has arrived at its
denouement." The Pesth Gazette mentions a report
that KosSUTH had been arrested on the Wallachian
frontier; but this requires confirmation. On the
18th, however, it is said that he was seen at Lippa.
The Constitutional Journal of Bohemia states that
before General Lu DEES and GROTENHJELIK (Russians)
effected their junction in Transylvania, Gener 1
BEM fell unexpectedly on Hermanstadt, and
massacred the garrison of two thousand men ;
therefore LUDERS marched on the town, and sur-
rounded the Magyars ; the latter attempted to cut
their way through, but they were completely de-
feated. The Russian soldiers were so exasperated at
the sight of their slaughtered comrades, that they
slew without mercy, and the officers could not stop
the carnage ; 4,000 dead, chiefly Poles, were it said
left on the field. BEM himself only escaped with
great difficulty across the corn fields.
This, it should be remembered, is a Russian account
of what took place in Transylvania, and cannot
therefore, be implicitly relied on.
The Hungarian General GUYON, who has under
his orders 10,000 men, has refused to submit. Gene-
rals SCHLIK and BECHTOLD have been sent in pursuit
of him.

The German Reform says that the Austrian Minis-
ters are perfectly agreed with respect to the pacifica-
tion of Hungary, and are resolved to support the
Constitution of the 4th of March.

A recent decree of the Emperor of AUSTRIA regu-
lates the abolition of land charges for Gallicia and
Lodomeria, and the suppression of seignorial dues.
The Agram Gazette announces that M. LEPIER,
formerly a major in the Austrian service, and in the
receipt of a pension, was shot on the 12th, in execu-
tion of the sentence of a court-martial, for high
treason, in having taken part in the insurrection of
Pancsova, and occupied an official situation under
the Magyar Government, on the frontiers of the
Banat.

A letter from Temeswar of the 16th says that
Baron JELLACHICH had arrived at that place, and
been received with enthusiasm by the people.

FRANKFORT.

The Frankfort Gazette says that the Central
Government of Frankfort has made propositions
to the Prussian Ministry relative to the es-
tablishment on a new basis of the Central
Provisional Government, and that these were
favourably received. It adds, that it was
expected that the Austrian Cabinet would also
receive them favourably. All this, however, is not
exactly in accord with the recent declarations of the
Prussian Ministry in the Chambers.

Galateo on the 28th; dissolution of the two regi-
ments. 6. Occupation of Chioggin, Burano, and
rospective districts en the 99th. 7. Departure, on the
30th of the Neapolitans by sea ; occupation of St.
.Niccolo and the coast. 8. Departure on the 31st of
the officers, and surrender of the fort of the Lido.

Accounts have been received from Rome of the
21st. General OUDINOT was to leave for France on
that day at the head of 10,000 men.
The official journal says that General ROSTOLAN
would replace General OUDINOT in the command of
the French troops left at Rome. Ihe free corps and
the mobilised civic guard have been dissolved by
order of the Governmental Commission. There is a
report that Cardinal DELLA GENGA is seriously
and that he will resign his position in the Commission.
fhe tw o other Cardinals have declared that they also
will resign.
A letter from Rome, of the 20th, which appears in
the French Journal des _Wats, says :
" The march of negotiations at Gaeta has never been
easy. A few days since it appeared to assume a satis-
factory turn ; at present it appears suspended, and,
according to all appearances, both parties are far from
understanding each other. France, it is said, meets
with the ;greatest difficulty in getting her counsels at-
tended to. It would appear that at one of the last sit-
tings the question of secularisation was decided in the
negative, so that the Roman administration, it is said, is
to remain purely and simply in the bands of the clergy.
This decision, if definitive, prepares for a Papal Govern-
ment, if restored on such bases, a fall more sudden,
more violent, and more irreparable tha❑ the first. On
that point the provisions and apprehensions of all mode-
rate men are unanimous. Count Ludolf, Ambassador of
Naples to the Holy See, and who represents his S.)ve-
reign at the conference, displays a blind obstinacy,
which, decorated as it is with the appearance of real
political firmness, is not without influence on M. Marti-
nez de la Rosa. The representatives of France find a
support for the liberal policy which they recommend
only in M. d'Esterhazy, Minister of Austria, whose
demeanour and language are altogether in unison with
the moderatio❑ of the Austrian generals for the last
two months in the legations. Rumour declares, not only
that the question of secularisation has been rejected at
Gaeta, but that Cardinal Antonelli bas caused to be re-
jected the deliberative vote with respect to taxes, which
it was proposed to accord to the new Chamber of Depu-
ties, when ulteriorly formed. It is stated that MM.
Corcelles and De Rayneval have just received instruc-
tions charging them to address ju the name of the French
Republic a solemn and pressing warning to the Govern-
ment of the Holy Father. A note was to have been re-
mitted the day before yesterday by the two French
Ministers to Cardinal Antonelli. M. de Corcelles, whose
health is improving, is at Castellansara. lie intends re•
turning in a few days to Gaeta "

THE PEACE CONGRESS.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

The Peace Congress at Paris, and the success of
brutal and unprincipled military power in Hungary, are
contemporary events which mutually illustrate each
other. One dogma of the Congress is non-interven-
tion; one effect of non-intervention is the wholesale
slaughter of thousands of innocent people, the sack
and burning of itowns, the flogging of women, and
the hanging of worthy men, to gratify the criminal
and insatiate thirst for dominion which possesses a
couple of despots and their abettors. The Congress
may reply, that had Russia acted upon their prin-
ciples Hungary would not have been invaded by its
hordes of savage troops ; but this argument must not
pass without a little scrutiny. No sane or well-
disposed person ever thought intervention necessary,
unless a previous interference had taken place. In
common parlance invasion does not mean interven-
tion. The nonintervention scheme would deserve
universal admiration if its leaders could effectually
convert not the lambs but the wolves to a millennial
course of action. Now intervention fully carried out
would be allowing every man to sit under his own
vine or his own tree, or in his own parlour and in
his own easy chair, none making him afraid; but it is a
curious way of bringing about this happy state to
promise unrestricted license to all evil-disposed and
predatory powers. If the Peace Congress was corn •
posed entirely of persons prepared to deny that man
is entitled to use force in self-defence, but should
literally turn one cheek to receive a blow to match
one previously bestowed upon the other, it would be
consistent enough, but many of its members consider
defensive war allowable. According to this view we
may defend ourselves, but by no means help our neigh-
bours. If a man witnesses an attempt to murder a fel-
low-creature, and quietly looks on, proclaiming the doc-
trine of non-intervention, but telling the murderer that
although he feels it his duty to trust his neighbour's
life to the protection of the peace principle and a
special Providence, he should put his own faith in
gunpowder, and has a pistol ready primed and loaded
to defend himself, what should we say of him ? But
this, in fact, is what the so-called friends of peace wish
one nation to do to another. If giving a free course
to violence and murder on a grand scale will prove the
best means of promoting universal liberty and felicity,
why should it not succeed on a small scale ? Why,
not as good for Rush as for Russia ? Miserable fal-
lacy ! cries the Congress, nations are not like
individuals, nor are their duties an aggre-
gate of individual duties. To answer this,
let it be remembered that when the commercial
dogma of buying in the cheapest and selling in the
dearest market is to be enforced, that members of the
Congress find rations very much like individuals, and
on many similar occasions. If A sees B try to cut
C's throat, or looks on in a spirit of love and univer-
sal brotherhood, and makes no effort to prevent the
crime, he is morally guilty of being an accessory to
it ; but if several million A's see several thousand
B's trying to murder as many thousand C's,
the non-intervention principle comes in, and they
may be content with talking of the Mil
lennium, and make themselves cheaply vir-
tuous during the present by holy contemplations,
concerning the future; all of which must be very
satisfactory to the wretched victims who might have
been saved if their friends had lent them the aid of
a strong arm, instead of preaching a weak sermon.
No doubt the Peace Congress would say war very
seldom answers, and then add—when our brethren
are being murdered, let us love them and leave them
alone. This is very cheap, and very peaceable, and
answers admirably at the time in point of economy ;
but its morality may be questioned. By all
means let people talk as much peace as they
like, and let the idea become familiar
with nations that arbitration must supersede
war, but when a rapacious brute force power revels
in successful iniquity that surely is not the time for
honourable and mighty nations to proclaim non-in-
tervention, a free course for crime. Let those who
abjure physical force be consistent, and make it un-
derstood that they have pockets full of gold and eyes
of brotherly love for any ruffian who thinks proper
to attack them, let them not only eschew cannon and
the tented fields, but also the constable's staff and the
police-court, for they too are things of force.
11 'hen prepared to do this they would indeed be
qualified to preach non-intervention, but not before.
It does not follow that because the non-interven-
tion theory is repudiated, that nations are bound
to send fleets and armies careering over the globe
in search of worthy adventure, like knight-errants
of old, or that they must always be ready to rush into
war in defence of any just cause; but there is a wide
difference between broadly declaring that they will
witness any amount of atrocity without interfering,
and reserving the right of a prudent consideration as
to when and how intervention shall take place. Let
every effort be made to hasten the time when war
shall be no more, but let us beware how we cry peace
when there is no peace, and, in the selfish enjoyment
of our own security, hand over weaker nations to the
unbridled ferocity of any barbarian power that is ever
seeking to build up a monstrous edifice of tyranny
upon foundations of blood and crime. S.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
EGHAM RACES.—WEDNESDAY.
The card yesterday was not very imposing, either in
the number or importance of the peiz)s, but it premised
a fair amount of sport, and the " special trains," being
started at convenient intervals from the Waterloo-bridge
station, bringing the course within an hour's ride of
town, it drew the largest, if not the most fashionable at-
tendance we have seen on Runnymede for the last six
or eight years; the weather was due, but oppressively
close. The racing, from the number of heats, and the
closeness with which many of them were contested, was
considerably fibove the average; that it will be as good
this day we will not take upon ourselves to say, but that
it will surpass it in interest may be gathered from the
engagements, an outline of which, including the entries
made on Tuesday night, is given underneath. The events
of yesterday call for no remeiks in addition to those
&lied to the return.

glass, and on procteding to the dining-hall, from whence
the sound came, he saw the prisoner, who was in s
beastly state of intoxication, in the act of breaking the
windows. Ile immediately put a stop to her drunken
pranks by calling in a constable and giving her in
charge. _ _

The Master of the Workhouse informed Mr. Bard'

for the kindness she had received in the house; and, as *
warning to others, committed her to the House of Cor—
rection for ten days, with hard labour.

sumptuous entertainment was given by the mayor, cor-
