sanctioned in Which it is intended that the members
should be armed in any other manner.
" I have also to impress upon you the importance

ail the riiteS should be invariably deposited in the
armouries of the corps. lam aware, however, that
certain corps would he subjected to muelil
nienee Were a rigid adherence to the regiilation en.
forced in these cases, and I shall be prepared upon
receiving a reconamendation from you to that effect,
to sanctik3t a l'elaation of this regulation in the
eases of such rural or scattered corps as you may
consider from their local distribution to require it,
and in such cases to permit the arms to remain in the
charge, and be retained at the homes, of the mem •
bers of the corps, provided always that every rifle
is subject to the inspection of the officers command-
ing companies once a week, and of the assistant-
inspector of the division, and in case of adminis-
trative battalions of the field officer commanding,
as often as they may deem necessary, on the un-
derstanding that in all instances where the arms
are neglected the privilege shall be withdrawn.
" I am also disposed to extend this privilege to
such members of corps existing in cities and large
towns as may, from residing at a distance from
their headquarters, be unable conveniently to de-
posit their rifles daily in their armoury. In such
cases written permissions may be given, at the dis-
cretion of the commanding officer, to individual
members; but the privilege is to be judiciously
exercised, and strictly under the provisions already
prescribed for rural corps ; and the commanding
officer will be required to cause the number of
members to whom he has granted permission to
retain their arms to be inserted in the periodical
return furnished by the adjutant.
" Having thus consulted the convenience of the
Volunteers by affording them the greatest possible
latitude which a due regard for the public interests
will permit, I have to urge the necessity of strictly
adhering to the regulations in all other cases. It
has been found that arms not kept in the store are
often subject to serious deterioration from want of
careful and proper treatment. and there is no doubt
that the habitual return of the arms. to store after
use is important to the efficiency of the corps ; and
I have to express my hope that these regulations
will be strictly obeyed, and I beg that you will in-
imate to the Volunteers serving in your county
,hat I shall feel it my duty strictly to enforce them.
" I have the honour to be,
" Your most obedient humble servant,

LETTER FROM THE POPE.

The falloving is a translation of the Pope's reply
to the address of the " Catholic University of Ire-

land :
rop6, beloved Sons, Jas. Gartlan,
nd Officials of the
" ljiViCeus x-liector, the Prooi`fessors ....-
Catholic University of Ireland.
" Beloved Sons, Health and Apostolical enetlic-
tion,—To the ancestral piety, faith, and reverence
towards us and the holy See of Peter, for which
the Catholic University of Ireland is pre-eminently
distinguished, the sentiments set forth in the letter
which you, &toted sons, have desired to send to
us in. the name of all its members, do admirably
correspond. You have wished to express your
grief at this incredible revolution throughout the
whole of Italy, and at the sacrilegious usurpation
of tint temporal Pontifical State, which immediately
the King of Sardinia, making an invasion with his
large army, by force of avins brought to comple-
tion. Justly, beloved sons, do you protest against
all these things, since the full and absolute liberty
of the common Father of all the faithful is assuredly
most intimately Conjoined with the well-being and
advantage of the universal Church, and since all
Catholics are interested in the patrimony where-
with Divine Providence has endowed the Roman
Pontiff, the Vicar of Christ, in order to the free
exercise of the Apostolic office. Incredible, there-
fore, to this and to future generations, will appear
the league entered into by powerful persons, who,
having attached to themselves the forces of all its
enemies, have shamelessly proposed,
in spite of all
opposition, to subvert and overthrow the civil prin-
cipality of the Apostolic See. We, indeed, openly
and publicly, have many times signified to the
whole world the detestable nature of these crimes,
and have, very recently, again and more emphati-
cally demanded the aid especially of Catholic
princes and nations for the support and defence of
the cause of this holy See. But we raise our hands
with groaning to the Lord, that the grace of His
heavenly virtue may enlighten the-mighty ones of
this world, so that at last they may understand
how great a peril is imminent, not on the Church
only, but on civil society itself, and may fix their
attention on the most grievous calamity of this
age. Do you, in the meantime, beloved sons,
unanimously persevere together with us in
prayer, that the compassionate and merciful
Lord may look upon the affliction which, in com-
mon with us, all of you sustain, and that He may
cause peace and tranquility everywhere to prevail.
With feelings of great gratitude for your most
loving expressions of duty, we make supplications
to God that He may gladden yon with all true pro-
sperity, both of mind and body ; and we trust that
a favourable omen of this great good is afforded by
the Apostolical benediction which we, with the
outpouring of the affection of our paternal heart,
very lovingly bestow on each of you, beloved sons,
and upon all the alumni of the Catholic University
of Ireland.
Given at Rome, at St. Peter's on the 13th day
of October, 1860, in the 12th year of our Pontifi-
cate. " Pius IX., Pope.

THE GALWAY LINE AND THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT.

The subjoined special telegram appeared in the
Freeman's Journal this morning:—
" London, Sunday.
" Mr. L. O'Beirne and Dr. Gray, who have been
for some time in Paris on behalf of the Galway
Company, arrived in London ye6terday.
" It is understood unexpected obstacles have
interposed, and that their negotiations have been,
for the present, suspended, but probably to be.
reopened on some new basis by which these unfore-
seen difficulties may be concluded—if such a basis
can be devised."

LAIP INTELLIGENCE.-Jim. 28.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before Sir C. Cressw ell.)
TToalits V. THOMAS.
This was a suit ins; ituted by the wife for a dis-
solution of marriage, on the groundof her husband's;
adultery and cruelty, to whiei there was no appear-
ance by the respondent.
Dr. Spinks and Mr. Prideau% were counsel fo r
the petitioner.
It appeared that the respondent had formerl y
been a shipbroker at Bristol, where the marriafge
was solemnised in 1847. The parties cohabited until
1851, and had two children, one of whom was liv-
ing ; but in the latter year he deserted her an d
went to Havre. Previously his cm, duct to tine
petitioner was described to be very brutal ;
but notwithstanding his ill-treatment she followed
him to Havre. However their cohabitatia.‘u was
not renewed, and in 1854 the petitioner ret.urued
to her mother at Bristol, where she had since re-
sided with her child. In July that year the r,l-
spondent broke into her mother's and struck
the petitioner with a flower-pot, and after-
wards with a poker, and she suffered severely from
his ill-treatment. This violence was repeated, and
on one occasion she was compelled to call in the
assistance of the police to protect her life. Several
other acts of ill-treatment were deposed to, and the
case was established.
The Court granted the decree nisi, and directed
that the petitioner should have the custody of the
surviving child, a daughter, who was born in 1848.
NORRIS V. NORRIS AND LAWSON.
This was the petition of the husband, a farmer,
residing at Hareham, Yorkshire, for a dissolution
of marriage, on the ground of his wife's adultery
with the co-respondent, who was a farmer's labourer,
and formerly lived in the same neighbourhood.
Dr. Spinks was counsel for the petitioner, and
there was no defence.
From the evidence it appeared that the marriage
took place on the 12th of March, 1850, and the pe-
titioner and his wife lived together until 1857, but
had no family. In the latter year it was discovered
that c„ criminal intercourse existed between Mrs.
Norris an the co-respondent, which she admitted.
Ultimately they :vent to Australia, where they have
since been living in adultery.
The Court granted a decrul.P nisi.
CURLEY V. CUBLEY AND- SMITH.
The petitioner is a publican, and I.7roprietor of
the Tankard public-house, Kennington-roa2,
both, and instituted the suit to obtain a dissolui:9ll
of marriage, on the ground of his wife's adultery
with the co-respondent, who had been a barman in
his employment. The adultery was not denied, but
the respondent 'pleaded that
.she left her husband
from his ill-treatment.
Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., and Dr. Tristram were
counsel for the petitioner, and Mr. Best, Mr. E.
Lloyd, and Mr. Pater for the respondent and co-
respondent.
The marriage took place in 1847, and there were
Bye children, four of whom are living, and Mr.
Cubley and his wife lived together until 1859, when
the alleged adultery was discovered.
Jane Fraser was examined, and stated that she
lived with Mr. and Mrs. Cubley for about four
years from 1853, at St. Mary's-street, Walcot-
square, Lambeth. He afterwards took the Tan-
kard, and she visited them there. He appeared
very kind to his wife, and she did not recollect
their having any quarrel. Remembered it being
discovered that she (Mrs. Cubley) had pawned
some of her husband's property, and his threaten-
ing to leave her unless she accounted for the
money, and she stated that she had given it to a
widow to pay her rent. She entreated him to for-
give her, and he consented to do so on her promis-
ing not to repeat the offence. The corespondent
used to take his meals at the table with Mr. and
Mrs. Cubley.
From the other evidence adduced, it appeared
that the petitioner was very kind to his wife up to
the time when she left him, and that Smith and
Mrs. Cubley had been living together as man and
wife at Sutton=street, York-road, Lambeth.
The Court requiring some additional evidence as
to the identity of Smith, the case was ordered to
stand over.
