opinions of !his own, which are not in accordance
with the vi(:ws of any particular school, or sug-
gested at tlae dictation of any party leader.

Prince HonENLouE's speech to the Bavarian
Chamber has given rise to a good deal of inquiry,
and its is no wonder that it should have done so on
many accounts. It is peculiar in itself, and it has
a great significance at the present time. It seems to
doubt the propriety of the proposed union with the
North German Federal Confederation, and the Prince
thus declares his views :—" Reasons of domestic and
foreign policy have iaduced Prussia to surround
the North German States with a form of Constitu-
tion, which certainly enjoys the merit of paving the
way for the political union of the North of Germany,
but which on that very account will probably
depart more and more from the character of a
Federal Constitution in the strict sense of the
word." Further on the Prince declares distinctly
that they do not want the entrance of Bavaria into
the North German Confederation, that they do not
want any constitutional alliance of the South Ger-
man States under the leadership of Austria, and
that they do not want a South-West German
Federal alliance. But what they do want
is the " national connection of the South
German States with the North German Con-
federation, and these, with the union of . non-
severed Germany, in the shape of an alliance of
States. This is the same object as the Wiedsburg
preliminaries and the Treaty of Prague recognise."
The foreign policy of Bavaria has been most care-
fully considered, and is most clearly shadowed
forth in this sketch, and the truth of the argument
here mentioned is undeniable. It is evident that
great doubts are entertained as to the policy of Prussia,
although it is not wise or prudent to give utterance
to them, but enough is said to show that the KING'S
Government recognises the importance of the situa-
tion in which it finds itself. It is a cheering sign
that so influential a place as Bavaria should thus
exhibit some independence, and give expression to
some definite policy, for of late it has been by far
too much the practice for Berlin to be taken as the
beginning and end of all policy, and for Count
BISMARCK'S intentions to be sought for as the index
to all change, bad, good, and indifferent, which is a
most undesirable conclusion to arrive at.

It has been remarked with some force that more
accurate information respecting the real character
and objects of Trades' Unions is likely to be obtained
by the inquiries into the actual outrages committed
in Sheffield and Manchester than by the more
elaborate commission presided over by Sir WILLIAM
ERLE. In spite of all the professions made by the
leading Unionists personal fear and interest are
the most powerful motives, and the knowledge that
equivocation or reserve may bring upon them direct
personal consequences has been of the greatest ser-
vice in eliciting the truth. Looking at the
question in the abstract, it is worthy of remark
that some of the most dangerous prin-
ciples of Trades' Unionism are freely admitted by
men of the better class who are misled into believing
them to bo sound and just. The actual fosterers
of murder and outrage, we believe, in spite of the
arguments in their favour, to have been generally
swayed by less high-flown motives. The love of
money, and the desire to retain power and authority
which brought it, had a great deal more to do in
swaying their judgment than any anxiety about the
tights of labour or the freedom of trade. Some of
them confessed it openly. These were mostly the
actual perpetrators, who received six or ten pounds
for disabling a fellow-workman. One man said
openly in court, when asked if he bad expected to
be paid for his crime, " Of course, that is what I
i did it for." We cannot trace out all the ramifica-
tions, but could they be brought to light the mis-
taken enthusiasts and illogical reasoners, who are
doubtless to be found among the ranks of
the unionists in Sheffield and Manchester
and other districts, would be not a little
surprised at the " ruling passion " of their heads.
At the same time, while men are to be found who
argue upon the belief that the Unions are justified
in attaining their ends by any means in their power,
it is not possible to stifle altogether the consciences
of large bodies of men. We see proof of this in the
manner in which the outrages and the funds paid
for them are kept in the dark away from the open
cognisance of the members. The society shrinks
from acknowledging its own deeds, however in-
geniously they may be disguised under specious
titles, and while an unscrupulous section for
their own ends carry on the evil work the
majority of the members prefer to know
nothing of what goes on. They never ask
awkward questions, they accept the most trans-
parent equivocations, and never look too closely
into falsified accounts. The books arc often made
up in a manner which implies that the funds are
mainly used for legitimate purposes, such as insur-
ances paid on the death or superannuation of the
members—a proceeding for which there is no reason
but the consciousness that public opinion would be
against them if the whole truth were told. In the
same way, in deference to the strong and unanimous
verdict against the conduct and policy of the
union, meetings have been held denouncing in un-
measured terms the crimes and offences recently
brought to light. Much reliance must not
be placed on virtuous indignation so opportunely
displayed, while a good deal of the truth must have
been long before suspected, if not actually known.

We have a curious sample of the confusion of
ideas under which sonic of these unionists labour, in
the copy of a resolution passed, with only one dis-
sentient, by a public meeting held in the Temper-
ance Hall, Sheffield, on September 30. The tem-
perate character of the hall does not appear to have
influenced the minds of tho speakers, and the
extraordinary jumble of the Jamaicainsurrection with
the English strikes, of the misconduct of the Sheffield
bench of magistrates, and the ruling of the Lord Chief
Justice, does not speak very well for the strength of
the complainants' case. If the one dissentient pre-
sent accused himself by analysing the terms of the
resolution he might very well have objected to it on
its score of logic if nothing else. It comments in-
dignantly upon the difference between the treatment
of Governor EYRE and Lieut. BRAND, " caressed
while their hands were yet reeking with the blood
of their murdered victims," and of the wit-
nessses before the Sheffield Commission, thereby
implying that they wore likewise mur-
derers. It holds that the present move-
ment against Trades' Unions is a conspiracy
on the part of the governing classes to crush the
liberties of the working men and their means of
defence. It maintains that all trade outrages,
strikes, awl rattenings "are the inevitable conse-
quences of one-sided and unjust laws"—au indis-
putable fact, only the laws happen to have been
made by the men instead of by the masters
" So long as the working classes are treated as
outlaws, it is not only their right, but their bounden
duty, to make and enforce such laws and regu-
lations as will enable them to maintain their
wives and families in comfort by their labour."
We should like to hear what the wives and families
have to say about the " comfort" of strikes, or the
satisfaction of having a can of gunpowder put down the
kitchen chimney ! There never was a time, we are

told, "in which the working men of England, more
especially of Sheffield, were so imperatively called
upon to be firm and united against the insidious
attempts of their enemies to break up their unions
and means of defence." Defence against what?
Scarcely the tyranny of the masters, whom one of
the commissioners not inaptly described as " a lot of
sheep." The famous motto of the Volunteers might
very well be reversed for the banners of
.the Trades'
Unions, and stand as " Defiance, not De-
fence." Defence is scarcely possible against a
secret and übiquitous foe, to whom human
life and human sufferings is as nothing when com-
pared to the maintenance of a selfish and unscrupu-
lous power. But what are these " partial and un-
just man-made laws" which justify every crime ?
They cannot be the laws of the land, as generally
observed, for the unionists treat them with sovereign
contempt. There is no law to regulate the price of
labour or the rate of wages in any trade. All that
the law has done is to interfere on behalf of the
working man to regulate the hours of labour,
and secure him from excessive work. There
are laws, indeed, against malicious combination ;
but, judging from the evidence of facts, they seem
to be of very little force. What, then, are these
particular laws that press so hardly upon working
men, and reduce them "to a level with serfs ?" It
is a pity that our informants do not condescend to
enlighten us, as doubtless they have the whole
statute-book by heart. The resolution concludes
by adjuring the men " to have faith in themselves and
each other ;" a degree of confidence very difficult to
attain when no man who misses his weekly half-crown
or objects to six months' idleness, can be sure that
his next door neighbour may not be throwing vitriol
in his face or ornamenting his kitchen with glass
bottles full of gunpowder. What matter ? The
Union must be kept up as long as a decaying trade
and vanishing capital will allow. Aprs moi le
deluge, say Messrs. BROADHEAD, CROOKES, and
Company ; and if long words and unmeasured abuse
cala avert the catastrophe till then they will not
mind the result.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FRO) OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Pam, Monday Evening.

Public attention, or at all events the attention of
the Government, is for the moment concentrated
upon Italy, and for the last two days alarming
reports have been rife. Some of the reports go to
the extent of affirming that the Italian army had
marched into the Pontifical territory. Up to the
present time, however, there is no confirmation of
this rumour. Some journals tell us that the insur-
rection is spreading, and they give extracts from
letters and from the Italian papers to prove that the
Garibaldian demonstration approaches an important
result. Nerola is stated to be occupied by 1,000
insurgents well armed. This town is, I believe,
about 40 miles from Rome, and if the account were
true it would have some importance ; but the truth
of it is very doubtful. Subiaco, which is on the
Sabine, between the Tiber and the Neapolitan
frontier, was captured by the insurgents, but was
very speedily retaken by the Pontifical troops.
Garibaldi himself, who is still strictly watched by
the authorities, has issued a proclamation to the
Romans, in which he states that he has confided
the direction of the movement to his son Menotti,
who, as already stated, is at the head of the insur-
gents of the Sabine. Among the chiefs of the
insurrection are Acerbi, Cucclio, Salomone, and
Baron Nicotera, all four of whom are deputies in
the Italian Parliament. The insurgents in the pro-
vince of Viterbo aro commanded by Acerbi. A
rich manufacturer of Sienna, M. Baldini, has been
foolish enough to leave business and take part with
the insurgents, many of whom are his own workmen.
Details might be multiplied of alleged concen-
trations and movements of the insurgents, but the
only important fact which is clear from these re-
ports and fancy sketches is that much is yet want-
ing to give the insurrection a formidable character.
A report prevailed at Florence that Garibaldi had
succeeded in eluding the vigilance of the authorities,
and had reached the coast of Sardinia in a fishing
boat. Ricciotti Garibaldi is said to have brought a
large sum of money from England in aid of the
insurrection. It would be easy to add an immense
number of reports circulated with the hope of raising
confidence in the success of the insurrection, but I
forbear from doing so, simply because, so far as the
facts are concerned, it is clear that it does not pro-
gress. Its success is a matter of anticipation, well
illustrated by the 7ur in Gazette, which says, " A
bold stroke is expected on the part of Menotti
Garibaldi." Until this bold stroke be consummated,
the facts connected with the progress of the insur-
rection do not at all support the hypothesis that it
has assumed a sufficiently important character to
compel the Italian Government to occupy the Pon-
titical territory, according to the announcement of
the news concocters alluded to above.

The Constitutionnel, founding its judgment upon
the authentic accounts from Italy, endorses the idea
that up to this time " the inhabitants of Rome
have not exhibited any sympathy with the Garibal-
dian demonstrations." ri he proclamation of the
" Comtd Romain" has called upon the Romans in
energetic and deploring terms to assist the weak
cause of agitation against the rights of the Holy
Father, but neither in Rome or elsewhere is there
any demonstrations of sympathy or support.
A terrible explosion has taken place at the coal
mine of the Grande Compagrae-et-Villers, near St.
Etienne, The particulars yet known are few.
Thirty-seven dead bodies have been extricated from
the pit, and it is feared that there aro many other
victims. The accident arose from fire damp.
M. Louis Meyer, pastor of the church of the R.:-
demption, President of the Consistory of the Church
of the Confession at Augsburg, has just died very
suddenly in his sixtieth year.
The death of a merchant in Paris has jusb taken
place under circumstances; of a most extraordinary
character. Some days ago, on proceeding to his
office along the Rue de Rivoli, his foot slipped over
a piece of orange-peel on the pavement, and his
head being precipitated against the window of a
shop, the valuable glass was broken into fragments.
In pursuance of his directions, a man brought to his
office the bill for the damage. The gentleman was
about to open a drawer to pay the money when he
fell senseless on the floor. He was dead. A sur-
geon, who opened the head, said that a small piece
of the broken glass had penetrated the brain, and
had thus caused instant death. Only a slight sen-
sation of pain had been felt in the head after the
accident.

Several days have been mentioned for the return
of the Emperor, Empress, and the Imperial Prince
to Paris. I was informed this morning that orders
hnve been received at tho Tuileries to have all ready
for the reception of their Majesties on Wednesday.
They will, I believe, leave Biarritz in the course of
to-morrow. Yesterday the Emperor, accompanied
by the Imperial Prince, reviewed the troops
garrisoned at Biarritz. The inhabitants of
the town, and a largo concourse of Fa.-
sons from the environs greeted the Emperor
and the young Prince very enthusiastically. There
was a very sudden and agreeable change in the
weather last night. The tempest was stilled. The
sun rose with great brilliancy,
and it shined with
little interruption until five o'clock. Then cloud 3
gathered, and it began to rain. Warmth has re.
turned. It has been like sumnier.

The remains of M. Achille Fonld were conveyed
to Pere la Chaise this day with more "pride, pomp,
and circumstance" than is usual with Protestant
interments. The church of the Oratoire was cram-
med to repletion with the notabilities of Paris.
When the ceremony was over the coffin, in a
splendid car, with plumes, was driven to the
cemetery. It was drawn by six black horses.
Some of the Emperor's carriages followed, and
also two carriages of the English ambassador, each
drawn by four horses. The procession must have
been composed of ten or twelve thousand persons,
and reached some two or three miles. The effect

was very imposing. The mourning coaches were
20 in number. There wore about 15 military
bands, who played the " Dead March in Saul," and
the muffled drums were beaten at intervals. The
rush at Pere la Chaise was terrific, but everything
was conducted with great order. The tomb is a
very simple one, and at present has only the name
" Achille Fould" upon the centre. Round it are
the initials A. F., and there are now several im-
mortelles. It is in the grand avenue, and about
three minutes walk to the left from the entrance.
The private carriages were about 100 in number.
The military was composed of both cavalry and
infantry. The new pastor of the Oratoire and the
clergy and officers of the church followed im-
mediately after the hearse. All the leading
mourners were in uniform or full dress.

The Emperor was represented by General Rollin,
the Empress by Duke Taschcr de la Pagerie, and
Prince Napoleon by Colonel Bisani, his aide-de-
camp.

ITALY.

FLORENCE, Oct. 14 (Evening).

Advices received here from the Roman frontier
announce that the Papal Zouaves had attacked with
cavalry and artillery the town of Nerola, where the
insurgents were concentrating under the orders of
Menotti Garibaldi, but after a fierce encounter the
Papal troops were beaten and pursued as far as
Monte Maggiore, whither they retreated in great
disorder with heavy loss. The losses of the insur.
gents were five killed and fifteen wounded.

Intelligence from Rome announces that on the
night of the 12th inst. many arrests were made.
Several of the Florence journals contain articles
in refutation of those recently published by the
France and Patric. The Opinione defends the atti-
tude of the Italian Cabinet, and says The
vigilance of the Government cannot be augmented,
it having adopted every possible measure to fulfil
its duty towards France."

The same paper defends the attitude of the
Roman people, and says :—" The day that the in.
wrests of the country and the monarchy, of order
and of liberty, shall require it, or when the Romans
shall call upon us, or Franco attempt to interfere,
our troops must enter the Papal States. We urge
the Ministry to follow this policy. To recede
from it would be abdication; it would be the aban-
donment of Rome to a single party, and would
create inextricable difficulties both in the pre-
sent and the future. We must march resolutely
forward, despite every menace of intervention. A
Government that separates itself from the national
will condemns itself to impotency, but the Go-
vernment that does so in consequence of the
threats of foreign Powers, even be they friends
and allies, would never again be able to raise its
head before the country."

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Oct. 14 (Evening).

To-day the Emperor was waited upon by a depu-
tation from the Common Council of Vienna, who
presented his Majesty with an address, intended as

a counter appeal to the recent address of the Austrian
prelates on the subject of education and the Con-
cordat. [The text of both these addresses has
already been published.] The Emperor received
the deputation most graciously, and declared that
he would refer their address to the Cabinet. Ile
also said, " I must express my conviction that the
Municipal Council, whose active endeavours for the
amelioration and perfection of the system of educa-
tion for the people I fully recognise, is far from
being desirous to lessen in any way the influence
exercised by religion over the public schools, the
characters of the teachers, or the nature of the
instruction, for this deputation will I am sure share
with me the persuasion that religon must ever form
the most essential basis of all true and moral popu-
lar education."

VIENNA, Oct. 15.

The Emperor's departure for Paris is fixed for
the 21st inst.. His Majesty will dine at Salzbourg
and pass the night at Nancy, arriving at Paris in
the afternoon of the 22d.

The statement that Baron Beust is about to go
to London is unfounded. The idea was mooted
that the Emperor might possibly avail himself of
being at Paris to pay a flying visit to Queen Vic-
toria. Should, however, the Emperor revert to
this intention, Baron Beust will accompany his
Majesty.
