TIE CONFISCATION OF CHARITABLE
ENDO W MENU,

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 bs called upon to submit to
some similar operation. 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. He 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
Beard 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 in urging on the
iopera-
tion. It is no wonder that a missive conceived n 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
issued from the Home-office for the use of the pre-
vinc'al 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 places, 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.

ME. SPURGEON'S NEW TABERNACLE.-It having been
stated that a site bad 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.
