" Union is strength" is a maxim that has stood the
test of ages, and has acquired additional force with its
antiquity. A sound moral truth was conveyed in the
fable of " the bundle of sticks," and every day
affords us examples of the injurious effects of con-
troversy and disputes. Ireland has long exhibited
the sad effects of internal dissensions and mutual dis-

only
opening of the Parliament for the session of 1847 is a source of annoyance, but of pestilential disease•
consolatory and propitious. Is there any necessity for the toleration of these
nuisances in the heart of the metropolis of the British
empire ? Certainly not. In no other ;capital in the.
civilized world are public cattle markets' suffered to be
held—in no other metropolis are slaughter-houses tole-
rated. In Paris the cattle market is held extra urbenz.
In Paris the Abattoirs, or slaughter-houses, are fitted up
at some distance from the city, and there is no instance
on record of any individual being gored by a bull in
the good city of Paris, or of any ox being driven through
its streets, during the present century. We are rejoiced
to see that at length a company has been formed (The
Grand Cattle Morket and Abattoir Comi:4tny) to rid us of
this nuisance. In France the Government has long since
interfered to put a stop to the propagation of pestilence
by means of cattle markets and slaughter-houses. In
England it appears that it is left to private enterprise to
patronise those sanatory measures, which on the conti-
nent, the Government, as the guardian, of the people,
thinks it necessary to. adopt. We wish: this company
every success in its good work, and as au incitement to
them to persevere, we may mention the tact, that while
the cost to the butcher slaughtering a beast in an
abattoir is considerably less than it was. under the old
slaughter-house system, the gain to the Government
(in this case it would be to the projectors) is sufficient
not only to maintain the abattoirs and the markets, but
to afford a very fair profit upon the capital invested. The
day, we trust, is not far distant when every large town
will have its cattle market and abattoir, extra urbem, and
when the existence of live stock markets' and slaughter-
houses in cities will be prohibited by law.

Cardinal FERETTI, the newly-appointed Legate
to Urbino, has received from the POPE instructions
recommending him to calm down as much as possible
the minds of the population, and to re-establish the
respect due to the laws and auth'prities. The
Cardinal is empowered to state that his HOLINESS is
disposed to accord to the inhabitants all the liberty
compatible with the public good, but that he would
never suffer any infringement of the law.

The Universal German Gazette states that a rail-
way is contemplated between Vienna and Cracow.
It is intended to effect at Oderberg the junction of
the Northern line and that of Lower Silesia, and to
prolong the latter by Kosel to Mislowitz, on the fron-
tier of the ancient territory of Cracow.

The Augsburg Gazette states that the new loan
about to be contracted by the Austrian Government
will amount to 40,000,000 florins, at an interest of
five per cent. The Government proposes to issue the
bonds at 108.

According to the Observateur Rhenan the Austrian
Government has decided on having a bridge of stone
constructed over the principal arm of the Danube,
like that of Pesth. This gigantic work is to be com-
menced in the spring.

Madrid journals of the 11th have arrived.

It is said that MON and PaoAi, are about to secede
from the Ministry. ISTURITZ would willingly retain
the services of.MON, but the Finance Minister re-
fuses to remain unless Pim', continues a member of
the Cabinet.; and as he is a MiniSter of whom all
parties are aiixiouS to be rid, MoN goes with him.
It -is generally supposed that CASTRO Y ORozco, the
newly made Marquis of GERONA, will receive the
the support of the Ministerial Deputies as candidate
for the Presidency of the Chambers. The Chambers
were still occupied in the transaction of merely for-

mal business.
