Barnet Great Annual Fair.

Yesterday the horse fair was resumed, but the unpmpi-
tious state of the weather prevented the early transaction of
business, and this year's fair seemed doomed to "a cola-
mitt'," for the rain set in and drove buyers away, and the
interests of horse-dealers and booth-keepers were as ma-
terially affected by the weather as were the interests of far-
mers and graziers by not being represented by a stock mart
in consequence of the regulations in connexion with the
cattle plague. In the afternoon a brighter state of things
sot in, and thehorse show was made up, and a good demand
for horses of high stamp prevailed, the prices reported yes-
terday being fully sustained. There was an active sale
among the herds of Irish colts, and many promising three-
year-old animals realised 40 guineas, and well-bred two-
year-old ditto 18 to 28 guineas. The droves of Welsh
ponies continued an attractive feature of the fair, and
dealers disposed of these unbroken young foresters at from
3 to 10 guineas each very freely, and it was amusing to
witness purchasers with a haltered yearling leading home
" trouble," unconscious that their new investment was but
little more than a sucking colt. There was the usual dis-
play of "old screws," &c., accompanied by horse -copers
who wore energetic in their efforts to " chop or sell" on any
terms. There was no sheep fair, but several flocks of out-
lying ewes and lambs which had been held over from yes-
terday's fair were disposed of at advanced rates, and the
Scotch sheep-dealers sold their Cheviot flocks at reduced
prices. In the pleasure fair there was avariety of amusement
and attractions, which wore well attended, and therailway
continued to transport thousands of smoky metropolitans
into Barnet Meadows. An ample provision is made in the
victualling departments, and canvas hotels offer suitable
hospitality to travellers ; and I'm-the special accommoda-
tion of the members of the pugilistic corps and patrons of
the ring,Jemmy Welsh, Alec Keene, and Bob Travers
have
separate establishments for purveying " creature
comforts." The horse fair will be chiefly among dealers to-
day (Thursday), and the horse races will take place in the
afternoon over the fields south of Barnet town.

At the anniversary of the dedicationALh t..felpro
cathedral church at Belmont, near Hereford, on Tues-
day, Dr. Manning, the Archbishop of Westminster,
preached two sermons. to large congregations. Pon-
tifical Msss was celebrated in the morning and Pon-
tical Vespers in the afterncon. At the morning
service Dr. Manning founded his discourse on
the words " The foolishness of God is wiser than
men, and the foolishness of God is stronger than
men." Having briefly referred to the circumstances •
connected with the words of the text, he at some
length applied them to the Order of St. Benedict,
the patron saint of the pro-cathedral, and then
dwelt upon the early history of the Roman Catho-
lic Church, and the spread of various forms of
heresy. He then spoke of the spread of the Roman
Catholic faith in all ages, and its indissoluble unity,
remarking that these were not times of diminution
or of going backward, but were times of advance
and of conquest. The Church had ever gone forth
conquering and to conquer, and it was not only in
the expansion of its external unity, but in its interior
coherence and interior fertility that the Catholic
Church manifested itself more in these days than in
guy other time. The schisms of 1,800 years had
tried themselves in vain upon its faith. The Church
of God had been manifested by those 1,800 centuries
in a supernatural and Divine triumph, against which
the wisdom and the strength of man' cannot pre-
vail ; and with its unity, so with its fertility. If
there had been times when nations were gathered
in, as England and as Germany, so these were times
when the missionaries of the faith were penetrating
to the far East, into, lands where, as yet, the name
of Jesus has not been heard. Throughout the whole
world the Church at this moment was spreading its
J op its ord:,.rs' ttf clarity r:lel of mercy. - Mea
in their strength, and women in their feebleness,
but equal in courage, were penetrating into Chris-
tian and heathen lands, and the Church was putting
forth in her oil age the tender leaf, the bud, and
the blossom, with an exuberance and a beauty with
which past ages, glorious as they were, bear no com-
parison. He did not deny that the age of infidelity
had set in ; but infidelity was like a pronounced
disease, which we knew how to treat and to handle.
Heresy was that latent fever which consumed the
life of man, circulated in his blood, and taints
its source. Far better was it to meet face
to face faith and infidelity than to be mixed up
in those fragmentary Christianities. Far better
to know where error is, to know its
beginnings, its limits, and its end, than to be breath-
ing day by day an atmosphere and taking in as our
daily food those heretical doctrines which insinuate
themselves upon all professing Christian teachers.
When he said that the age of heresy was over, he
meant this—where now was the heresy of Nestorian-
ism or the heresy of Arianism? It might be found in
the far East, where some relics and remnants might
be found, or some cast-off fragments still survived;
some Church here and there once in the unity of the
Catholic Church, and now lying, like fragments in
the wilderness, the bones of the dead. But heresy
had no vigour, no originality, no action ; it did not
intermingle with us ; it was a thing of the past ; it
was gone. Ancient heresies, he might say, were
extinct. Where was Lutheranism, the last master
heresy of these later centuries ? Where was it now ?
Search through Saxony, the cradle from which it
sprung. Search over all Germany, and find Lutheran
orthodoxy, if he might use contradictory words. It
vas a thing of the past. Intellectual errors could not
hold themselves in one set error. They were perpetu-
ally in mutation, and perpetually in solution. They
rise, they culminate, and they pass away. So was it
with Protestantism. Protestanism was dead. Men
might rise up and say, What audacity to use such
words in the face of the Protestantism of Eng-
land!" Not at all. Protestantism still existed as
a political power, as a form of diplomacy, as an
antipathy to the Catholic Church it was true ; but
a Protestantism that could be defined, that
could be stated in thirty-nine or forty Articles—a
Protestantism that could be made an intelligent be-
lief—a Protestantism that could be found to spread
uniformly---over a multitude of men who could be
agreed together—this was past. It was simply
transformed and metamorphosed, and changed until
its original teachers would know it no more. It
had congeners, human errors, and fragmentary
doctrines of faith picked here and there from the
original faith, but as a teacher of faith it had no
existence. Men had now come to see that a frag-
mentary Christianity was impossible. Human
teachers were the blind leading the blind. Their devi-
ous and multitudinous paths convicted them of error.
There could be but one way in which the truth
leads men, and there must needs be a Divine teacher
to guide them in that path. Therefore, he said that
the age of heresy was over; but the age of rationalism
and the age of infidelity had set in indeed—a terrible
foe, but an open foe, and one with .which they knew
how to deal. Another phenomenon of the present
times was the unity orthe whole Church with the holy
see of St. Peter, the infinite union of heart and soul,
of pastors and people, with the Vicar of Jesus Christ,
which was greater at this time than in any other age
of the history of the Church from the day of Pente-
cost until now. He would boldly say that never was
there a moment when the Episcopate of the Universal
Church was united in the patriarchal bond, like the
heart of one man, more intimately than now. Na-
tionality, since Judaism was condemned and ex-
tinguished, was a heresy in the Church of God.
When nationalism mingled with doctrine and faith,
or the administration of discipline, or contended with
the Holy See, then it became a disease, and it had
been a disease. In England, it was the Reformation ;
in France it was Gallicanism. Where now was the
Gallicanism of France ? Where now was England's
nationalism among Roman Catholics ? His Grace
then referred to the unity of the bishops of Italy bathe
present state of affairs, and observed that he spoke in
words of measured truth when he said that there never
was a time when the Bishops of the Catholic Church

of the faith and the keeper of the law, and as such
he was its interpreter and its expositor. And these
two elements in what was called his temporal power
were not alien to his own personal freedom and hie
supreme direction. Dr. Manning, in conclusion, ex-
horted his hearers not to be afraid at the bold words
of men or the threatening aspect of events, but to
take confidence from the present position of the
Church, and tolearn never to compromise aprincipie
or to attempt to adjust the laws of God any more
than the dogmas of the faith to the expediency of
the moment and the wisdom of men.

LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 6, 1866.

All is proceeding favourably in the direction of
peace, and a signal proof is given in the demobilisa-
tion of the Prussian army, which has commenced,
and the Italian Government are determined to dis-
miss to their homes 120,000 men without waiting
for the signature of the treaty of peace with Aus-
tria. This is a very wise resolve, and will be sure
to afford vast relief to many who are directly or in-
directly connected with the war. The negotiations
for the transfer of Venetia have commenced be-
tween the Austrian authorities and General LE-
The Austrians have also commenced to
evacuate the Quadrilateral, so that no drawback
seems to exist in the management of the affairs re-
lating to peace. It is the more satisfactory to find
these large armies disbanding, because the preva-
lence of cholera must render it desirable on every
account ; and had the war been prolonged, no doubt
very sad and serious consequences might have en-
sued.

We learn from Florence that in consequence of
the cholera the Government have removed, or are
removing, the army from the position which it now
occupies, which is a wise precaution to adopt.
Communications have passed between the Prus-
sians and Italians, which prove that a very friendly
relationship exists between them, for the present at
any rate. Some doubts were entertained as to the
result of the long delays which have taken place in
the negotiations between Prussia and Saxony ; and,
indeed, it was feared that the former would be
tempted to renew hostilities if the period expired for
which the armistice was fixed. Happily, however,
this will not be the case, for the formal arrange-
ments have at last commenced in time to avoid the
catastrophe.
Affairs are not going on so satisfactorily in the
Prussian Chambers as the Government might de-
sire. Their bill has been rejected in favour of the
draught of the committee on the subject of the
usury laws. It is said that the report was false
which declared that Count litsmAncx had refused
to see the deputation ; that is to say, it was true in
fact, though not in the meaning. The Count was
too much occupied to attend to them at the time,
but the address will be laid before the KING and a
written reply sent. This seems, in truth, a very
ingenious way of settling the business, but the
chief thing will be, if compliance is given to their
demand, and we trust that it will, for Denmark
to receive compensation and restitution for the
injuries inflicted on her two 3 ears ago, and it will
be in some degree a relief to think that one act of
justice has been done in the course of this unjust
war. Among the many scraps of intelligence from
abroad it is gratifying to notice that the Emperor
FRANCIS JOSEPH has permitted M. PULSKY to visit
Hungary in consequence of his daughter's illness.
The adoption of a more lenient policy towards the
Hungarians generally could not fail to strengthen
the Government of Vienna, and indeed they have
reaped very awkward consequences from the unwise
course they have pursued already respecting the
country.

It is said that the French EMPEROR is about to
give a manifesto, which will proclaim his policy
generally, and more especially the inconsistency
which some think has existed regarding the policy
towards Germany, and the permission which has
been given to Prussia to aggrandise her territory.
Meanwhile speculations abound concerning the re-
tirement of DROUYN DE L'HilYs, and the same cause
is given alike for his secession from office, and the
rumoured change of M. BENEDETTI from his
ambassadorship from Berlin to Constantinople.
Both these statesmen made the demands to
Prussia concerning the rectification of fron-
tiers, and hence it is argued that they
find it desirable to retire. This argument is plausible
enough, as is also the addenda, that the EMPEROR
does not disapprove of the policy they have advo-
cated, but has merely deemed it to be advisable to
postpone it for a while. No blame is attached to
these functionaries; and, on the contrary, high
honours are to be bestowed on them. The com-
ment made by the Temps respecting the policy of
France and Prussia are very much to the point, and
they also indicate the state of public feeling in
Paris, which is indeed that of mystification. No one
knows what to think or expect, and only peace can
enable people to collect their ideas, and determine
the best course to pursue in the general confusion
which prevails. " Prussia will avail herself of it to
organise her conquests, and France to open her
Universal Exhibition ; but what will follow ? We
must needs confess that the war which is just over
has raised far more questions than it has solved."
This is a very just definition of the state of the
case. Indecision and uncertainty are, in truth, the
characteristic elements of the affair. Whatever
be the motive which has induced the French
EMPEROR to let Prussia alone for the pre-
sent, it seems clearly understood in Paris that
it is only a temporary relinquishment of his pur-
pose. The doubt remains as to whether it be wise
to give Prussia more time to increase her strength
and consolidate her conquests, and no wonder such
opinions are given. But the Emperor NAPOLEON has,
doubtless, acted for the best, and it is difficult for
those who are not behind the scenes to comprehend
the inns-and-outs of the affair. For many reasons
it is to be regretted that the intolerable assumption
of Prussia should not have been checked, but no one
has a right to affirm that it, was the duty of the
French Government to run risks for which they
were not fully prepared. The notion of war being
the consequence of the dispute in Germany was not
entertained, for many reasons, until a short time
before the actual outbreak of hostilities. A Con-
gress was supposed to be the most likely means re-
sorted to to settle the difficulties of the- matter.
When the Berlin Government interfere more directly
bi
ma be i if toyr theythe latteri ll ,
sooner or later, then
with the French,
in
will as
be all
ther probability they 'will,
sooner or later, then will be the t
to bestir themselves, and the Prussians may find

--
they are not so strong as they now suppose.

Although the virulence of the epidemic has
greatly
subsided, thanks, under PROVIDENCE, to thepromp-
titude and efficiency of the remedial measures
adopted, it still lingers amongst us, and it is evi-
dent that we must not relax our efforts for some
time to come. Over-confidence, like excessive ter-
ror, is likely to be mischievous in its effects, and
both extremes will be guarded against by wise men.
The two great central committees, to whose inde-
fatigable exertions so much praise is due, have, from
the very first, dealt with the question in a broad and
liberal spirit, recognising the danger which arose
from the misery and destitution of families whose
bread-winners had been either stricken down by
illness or removed by death. The liberality and
promptitude with .which food and clothing have
been dispensed by the local committees have been
most efficacious, and the scenes of wretchedness
which many of the gentlemen have personally wit-
, nessed give painful evidence of the necessity which
