TILE CONFISCATION OF CHARITABLE

ENDOWMENTS,

By this time, says a letter from Paris, dated
yesterday, the Government 'must be aware of the
effect caused in the • provinces by the Circular on
the forced conversion of the hospital and other
charitable endowments. This effect is of the worst
character, and timid people begin to fear that, as
the title by which they hold their property is not
a whit better than that on which the property of
these foundations rests, the day may come when
they also may be called upon to submit to
some similar op3ration. Nothing can be more
dictatorial, more imperious, or more intimidating
than this " General Order" of the Minister, and
this altogether apart from the merits of the opera-
tion. Hei requires that the Prefects shall use all
" their influence and, if necessary, their autho-
rity ;" and what this means every one knows,
with immediate dissolution of the Administrative
Board on any manifestation of " prejudice or inert-
ness." The circular further states, that the Pre-
fects will be estimated by the Emperor according to
the more or lesszeal they use iu urging on the opera-
tion. It is no wonderthat a missive conceived in such
a spirit and dictated in such terms, should be consi-
dered as highly offensive to the Boards, and have
excited indignation. The accounts from the pro-
vinces prove that such is the case, and, in-
dependently of the fact that the Boards are
generally opposed to the principle of a change
sought to be made clearly with a view to the
finance?, their self respect is deeply and needlessly
wounded—so much so that though the project
be not abandoned, yet the official correspondence
isimed from the Home-office for the use of the pro-
vincial press is couched in soothing and concilia-
tory terms. The answer to inquiries by telegraph
as to the effect of the Circular was that the
directors of the foundation in three import-
ant placer, said to be Douai, Lille, and Troves,
had begun by resigning their functions. Their
example will probably soon be followed elsewhere.
A person occupying a high official place in the
Home Department has gone to Fontainebleau to
communicate to the Emperor directly the unplea-
sant results of the Circular.

MR. SPURGEON'S NEW TABEBNACLE.—It having been
Stated that a site had been obtained for the great taber-
nacle for Mr. Spurgeon, his committee have given an
explicit denial to such statement, and inform the public
that they are still anxiously looking for an appropriate
position.
