100 to 8 each apt Historian and Epworth, 20 to 1 agst
Oellina, 25 to 1 agst Jeanie Deans.

After a delay of upwards of half an hour, caused princi-
pally by the fractiousness of Historian and Nelly Rose, and
the anxiety of the jockeys to get off, the flag was lowered
to an even start, Nelly Rose, in the centre of the course,
cutting out the work with a slight lead of Snowdrop, His-
torian, Leonie, Dragon, Bounoeaway, and LadyHighthorn,
who laid on the left in a cluster, Belphegor and Kettle-
holder being prominent 911 the right, with Epworth, Bis-
marck, Ritualist, and Roland in the centre of the course.
Nelly Rose retained her advantage until entering the
cords, when she was in trouble, and her retirement left
Snowdrop, who still held a position on the extreme left,
in command of the field, of whom Bounceaway, Leonie,
and Historian wore the most prominent, Lady Highthorn
having beat a retreat almost simultaneously with Nelly
Rose. When fairly within the cords Leonie got almost
level with Snowdrop, but the light-weighted filly had
much the best of the struggle, and Platt riding hor with
great patience she won cleverly by three-quarters of a
length from the Duke of Hamilton's filly, which distance
separated Leonie from Historian ; Bounceaway, close up,
was fourth, and Goojerat fifth. Then came a cluster of
horses, the last lot being Dragon, Bismarck, Roland, Col-
lins, and Tumbler.

CEN7RAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)
THE CASE OF MADAME RACIIEL.
The trial was resumal this morning.
Mrs. Borrodaile was re-examined by Mr. Ser-
geant Ballantine. She said she had come to Lou-

don from Cheltenham, and went to a coffee-shop in
Francis-street, at the recommendation of a rail way
porter. She stopped there for four days, and paid
2s. a day. She went to Madame Rachel's the day

_
after her arrival. She could not account for Ma-
dame Rachel producing the letters she had written
unless she had kept them, and witness always
thought they had been sent to whom they had been

addressed. She wrote all the letters at Madame
Rachel's shop. Madame Rachel's daughter told her
she was 50, but she could not say how old she was,
as she was made up. (Laughter.) A granddaughter
of the prisoner was always at the shop. She

did not think that she wrote the letters signed
" William," as she (witness) knew her
handwriting. No one was ever present when she
(witness) and Madame Rachel were letter-writing.
The shop was always shut up when they were so
engaged. No one ever called at her lodgings in
George-street but her mother-in-law and her soli-
citors. Witness never had any communication
with any one beside Lord Ranelagh in Rachel's
house, nor had she ever met any man there but
him. She had never met any man at a coffeeshop.
She trusted entirely to Madame Rachel. Rachel
used to give her some whisky before she com-
menced letter-writing. (Laughter.) She had men-
tioned this fact to many other persons, but did not
say anything about it at the last trial because
she was not asked the question. She had seen a
young man named Horace, who wrote at Rachel's,
and the boy called William, who wrote letters. All
she received for the £l,OOO was some soap, powder,

and magnetic water, which she was to put in her
bath. She kept a photograph of Lord Ranelagh on
her mantelpiece at home in George-street, and at
night she took it to bed with her. (Laughter.)
She told the matter to Rachel, and she advised her
to tell " William" of it. (Laughter.) She was
quite positive that Rachel never upbraided her
with spending money on her paramour. In one of
her letters to William she said it was well known in
Pembrokeshire that she had been living with him.
It was altogether untrue. She acknowledged that
she was a " self-confessed idiot"—(loud laughter)
and she could not account in any way for her writ-
ing such extraordinary letters. She never saw
O'Keefe until she met him in Paris. She had seen
a man in Rachel's shop whom she said was Stephens,
Lord Ranelagh's servant. When she wrote to
" Dear Tom," Madame Rachel told her she had had
enough of Dear William now, and she had better
try " Dear Torn." She was told it wouid create

jealousy. Madame Rachel never paid any large
sum of money for her; on one occasion she believed
she did pay £2 for her. The document put into
her hand purporting to be an account of money
paid to her by Madame Rachel was an entire fabri-
cation. On her solemn oath she never received a
single one of the sums therein mentioned, amount-
ing in all to £1,600. There was a portion of the
paper in her handwriting, but the latter part of it
setting out the different sums was not, and
until it was produced in court she never
was aware of its existence. She never had
a single sixpence from Madame Rachael out of
the whole of the money she had from her, which
amounted, with the £1,600, to £2,200. Madame
Rachel was not the person to give money to any
one. She denied in the most solemn manner that,
with the exception of the £2 she had mentioned,
she had not had one farthing from Madame Rachael
of all the money she had had from her.
By Mr. Digby Seymour—Of the £7OO now re-
ferred to she never had a piny. It was no use her
looking again at the account, as she never had a
single farthing from Rachel. She might have said at
the last trial that the document now placed in her
hand was in her handwriting; all she could say
was that parts of it looked like it. There was no
necessity fur the perpetual reminder that she was on
her solemn oath ; she knew that she was speaking
only the truth, and she could say no more.
The Judge told witness shed must answer the
questions. He was bound to tell her that the
learned gentleman had had his patience severely
tried. She did not recollect saying at the last trial
that she never told lies. It was too vulgar; she
thought she must have said " untruths." In look-
ing at the list the 5 of the 500 looked like her
figures. The 85 is something like them.
The document was here handed to the jury, with
a direction from the learned Judge to look not only
at the figures, but the dates also.
Examination continued—She often asked Rachel
what she had done with her money and clothes, but
never could get any explanation. Madame Rachel
told her in 1866 that she had an account against
her. She had no recollection of having had some
underclothing from a person named Himes. Madame
Rachel said some had been got, but she had never
seen a single article. Would solemnly swear that
she had never ordered underclothing to the amount
of £5O. Madame Rachel told her she would
require some for her wedding. She recollected
now that she gave Madame Rachel £lB out
of her pocket to purchase chemises. (Laughter.)
At the police court she might have said she wrote
some of the letters to William because she wanted
something to do. She made a great many very
foolish answers—she spoke frequently without
thinking. (Laughter.)
Sergeant Ballantine—Look at the list and see
whether there is £5O down for underclothing.

Mrs. Borrodaile—l don't see it. I never had it.
I know, because I'm very short of it. (Laughter.)

Sergeant Ballantine—Did you ever receive as
much as a tenth part of a shift from Madame
Rachel. (Laughter.)

Mrs. Borrodaile—No, never. (Loud laughter.)
The Judge—Do you know the handwriting of
Madame Rachel's daughter Leonte ?
Mrs. Borrodaile—Yes ; it is very much like
mine.

Mr. Digby Seymour—l object to the answer being
received, as there is none of Leonte's writing in
court. It was a fearful suggestion.
Madame liAchel here ry§e Om hex Oat; and

said—l will send for my daughter, my lord. I
will send for her, indeed, if you wish it, for the sake
of the public.
A document was here putinto the witness's hand,
authorising Madame Rachel to dispose of all wit-
ness's property in her possession ; she said she
thought it was in her handwriting, but she never
received a single farthing of the proceeds, if any.
She would have been certain to recollect it.
A Juror—Did the letters from " dear William"
come by post or by hand?
Mrs. Borrodaile—All the letters came by hand.
Mr. Haynes, of Palace Chambers, Westminster,
solicitor, examined by Sergeant Ballantine, with
respect to selling out stock for Mrs. Borrodaile.
He had not the slightest knowledge of her before
Rachel introduced her. Madame Rachel owed
him some money for rent, for which he had applied
before Mrs. Borrodaile came to his office. He sold
out stock to the amount of £963 6s. Id., of that
sum he paid Rachel £550, he deducted £127 for
rent due, £62 10s. for rent not due, and £250 went
into an account between herself and Rachel for
rent.

The Judge—Do you mean to say, Mr. Haynes,
that Mrs. Borrodaile did not get a farthing of that
money ?—Yes, my lord.
The Judge—There is still £227 to account for.

I gave an acknowledgment for that to Mrs. Borro-
daile, but it was afterwards returned to me by that
lady, who stated that she had arranged matters

with Madame Rachel.

A number of other monetary transactions,
amounting in the whole to nearly £4,000, were
then minutely inquired into by the learned Sergeant,
the witness giving explanations as to the parties re-

ceiving the money. The witness said Rachel
told him she had paid Captain William Ed-

wards, Mrs. Borrodaile's cousin, a large sum

of money. Amongst the items charged there was
the sum of £lOO paid to Mr. Pyke, the jeweller. I❑
explanation witness said Mr. Pyke took Mrs. Bor-
rodaile's acceptance for £1,200 for some diamonds,
and as the articles were afterwards not required the

£lOO was paid for taking back the diamonds.

Sergeans Ballantine—Then he took the accept-
ance for the diamonds, but they were never de-
livered up, so instead of selling he got the £lOO for
keeping the jewels ?—Yes ; that is so.
The Judge (looking at the cheques)—They all
appear " for value received." That was not the
case with the cheque for the diamonds.

The witness stated that he thought Madame
Rachel, by her transactions, acted as a sort of
banker to Mrs. Borrodaile.

Sergeant Ballantine—A banker of such a solid
description that you deducted your rent for her
premises before it became due. (Laughter.)
This witness, in his cross-examination by Mr.
I)igby Seymour, gave further explanations as to the
payment of the money received on behalf of Mrs.
Borrodaile, and also said that on one occasion a
quarrel took place at his office, when Madame
Rachel told Mrs. Borrodaile she was squandering
her money on her paramour. He always believed
that Mrs. Borrodaile was about to marry her
cousin, Capt. William Edwards.
Sergeant Ballantine—Then how comes it that in
your bill of costs that on the 28th of September
you charge her for an attendance with respect to
her marriage with Lord Ranelagh ?
Witness—l must have been told that such was
the fact either by Madame Rachel or Mrs. Borro-
daile.

Sergeant Ballantine—By whom ?
Witness —I really cannot say ; it must have been
one of the two. I always thought before that Mrs.
Borrodaile was going to marry her cousin.
James Minton then repeated the evidence he
gave on the former I trial, with respect to
copying letters for Madame Rachel. This
witness gave his evidence in the
most straightforward, manner, and when
cross-examined by Mr. Digby Seymour he
materially strengthened it by relating the circum-
stances connected with some leaves of his pocket-
book getting into the possession of the counsel for
Madame Rachel. The leaves were obtained by
some person who went to his mother and repre-
sented that he was about to get him a good situa-
tion, and it was necessary that he should require
specimens of his handwriting. This person was
shown the pocket-book, and then the leaves were
removed. The paper placed in his hands memo-
randa, with respect to evidence to be given at the
trial, he knew nothing about. Ile had no recol-
lection of making full notes of his own evidence.
The leaves taken from his pocket-book had never
been returned.

By Sergeant Ballantine —lf he was allowed to
look at the writing on the paper Mr. Seymour had,
placed in his band, he could at once say,
withont doubt or hesitation, whether it
was in his handwriting or not Y It was
impossible for him to deny or admit the
handwriting without seeing it. lie knew there was
but very little writing in the book when he last
saw it. lie could produce the book from which the
leaves had been removed to-morrow morning.
The court here adjourned until to-morrow.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Keating.)

William Brookes, and Caroline, his wife, were
indicted for the manslaughter of their child, Bar-
bara Brookes, aged 12 months. They were further
indicted for neglecting two other children, William
aged four and a half years, and Elizabeth, two and
a half years, and refusing to supply them with pro-
per food.

The case was a very melancholy one. The pri-
soners, with five children, lived in a small room in
Charlotte-street, Shoreditch, and it was stated that
the three youngest were often left for a long period
without food, and they were found in a deplorable
condition. The youngest appeared to be dying,
and shortly afterwards expired. They were
shockingly emaciated, and it was eviden t
they had been starved and neglected. The
infant died from inflammation of the lungs pro-
duced by neglect and want of food. When their
wretched state was discovered they were removed
to the workhouse. The youngest child (the de-
ceased) weighed 81bs., the boy, 4i years old, 111bs.
Goz., and the girl 2j- years old, 121bs.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty.
Sentence deferred.

however, bo gradual, as it depends upon the vacation of
the fellowships. Five of the students have already been

The Post remarks that for some months past we have
fortunately heard little or nothing of Fenianism, the excep-
tional powers with which the Irish Executive is armed
have ceased to be exercised, and shortly after Parliament
vas prorogued we received with satisfaction the assurance
that through the length and breadth of Ireland there was
not in custody any individual committed otherwise than
according to the ordinary forms of law. The significance
of the recent outrage in Cork consists in the fatal blow
which it deals to our too hastily formed conclusion
that we had probably heard the last of the Fenian
conspiracy. It is now evident that those who take part in it
simply bowed their heads to a storm which it was idle to
endeavour to withstand, with the intention, when the sky
became again serene, of once more renewing their endea-
vours to foment sedition. Without suggesting that the
authorities have abated anything of their vigilance, it is
quite comprehensible that, in the absence of any overt
acts on the part of the conspirators, they should have
found less occasion for making their supervision apparent,
and the Fenians have accordingly thought the opportunity
a favourable one for renewing the tactics which they pre-

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT MALTA.

On Monday, the 14th September, shortly before ten
o'clock in the morning, the inhabitants of the cities of La
Valetta, Vittoriosa, Cospicua, and Senglea were alarmed
by a loud report, which was at first supposed to be the burst-
ing of an Armstrong gun, but soon after was discovered to
be the explosion of live or filled shells in the shell-shifting-
room outside Fort St. Angelo, on the south-east side of
Valetta Harbour, under the Grunemberg Battery, the
wall of which formed the inner side of the room, and,
bad to relate, Sergeant John Mansell, gunners John Bragg,
James Clark,Henry Lloyd, and John Stewart, of the Royal
Artillery, the gatekeeper, and a labourer of the Military
Store Department (natives of Malta) were killed on the
spot, and Gunner D. Anderson mortally wounded, who
died shortly after ; these persons constituting the entire
working party at the moment of the accident, so that for
want of witnesses the committee of inquiry appointed
by the lieutenant-general commanding were unable
to discover the precise cause or orgin of the accident.
For several days before working parties had been
employed in removing and drawing the rusted fuses of
some 200 filled shells which had been lying for about four
years in the adjoining powder magazine, and some twenty-
nine, the most difficult to be moved, were left for the last,
the day of the disaster, early on which morning a working
party of some eighty non-commissioned officers, privates,
and gunners assisted in bringing out these remaining
highly-dangerous missiles of war. At half-past eight
a.m. all left but the deceased, who remained to execute and
complete the task of removing the old and substituting
the more modern fuses. It is supposed that a hammer
(found on the spot) must have been incautiously used
for accelerating or facilitating the work, and that
this had caused the explosion of a shell, which occasioned
the explosion of five or six others, some of which, though
burst and blown into fragments, had the fuse still firmly
fixed in the upper piece. One victim was found upon the
wall over the Dockyard Creek, another on the rocks out-
side, the rest within the yard beneath the stones of the
ruins of the rcom, excepting one picked up in the Calcara
Creek on the day following, the whole sadly mutilated,
and one actually severed in two. The elected members of
Government have since addressed a letter to the
Governor pointing out the inexpediency of having
laboratories of warlike missiles so close to densely-popu-
lated places.

viously pursued.
The Herald has a leader upon the addresses of the City
candidates in the Constitutional interest. They are all
agreed on the main points of Conservative doctrine.
`While deprecating the Liberal policy in the matter of the
Irish Church, they agree in expressing themselves anxious
for the measures of progress which are of uncontested

\Aide time is wasted in profitless discussion and selfish
party manoeuvres. One and all they are in favour of a
learge measure of education for the people and an
expansion of the present system of poor-law relief.
Economy in taxation, with the maintenance of the
dee position of the country ; a revision of the laws
which regulate the claims of property and labour ;
a further reform of the bankruptcy laws, giving greater
security to creditors,—these are matters of importance to
the whole community, but more than the rest to those who
are interested in commercial pursuits. We are sure that
the interest shewn in these important questions will do
much to commend the candidates to the consideration of
their fellow-citizens, while the soundness of their views on
the great question of the day will give them a paramount
claim to the suffrages of Conservative voters, and of
numerous sections belonging to the late Liberal party
which yet shrink from the threatened overthrow of Church
and Constitution.

PAPAL INFALLIBILI7 Y AND GALLI-
CANISM.

accusation of mystery which M. 011ivier
brought against the pious multitude which re-
sponded to our appeal. If he was able to
know that this multitude was immense, it is
evident that it did not enshroud itself in dark-
ness and mystery ; and, in truth, what motive
was there for any such mystery ? Was there
anything in the obligation doubtful or uncer-
tain or of a nature to shock the ears of a
vast number of people ? Far from it. Papal
infallibility is a Catholic doctrine, and although
not yet solemnly defined by the Church, it is,
nevertheless, a truth which in itself belongs
to faith. After quoting Suarez, and other
theologians, in support of the doctrine of Papal
infallibility, the Civilta Cattolica observes—
" It is of no use to allege the absence of a dog-
matic definition, for it by no means follows,
that because a truth is not dogmatically de-
fined, that therefore it is not of faith.. For a
truth to be of faith (if not of Catholic faith,
certainly of divine faith), it suffices that it
should be clearly contained in Holy Writ, or
in ecclesiastical tradition, even though it be
not solemnly defined by the Church. The non-
definition serves only to save from the stain of
heresy him who believes the contrary in good
faith. But to be of good faith it is necessary
that his ignorance should be invincible, and
ignorance can only be called invincible when
it does not arise from any evil influence by
which the mind has suffered itself to be sub-
jugated, and when it has not been possible to
deliver itself from the effects of such influence
even by care and diligence in the search after
truth.
But granted that Papal Infallibility is a
doctrine of the Church, why, it is asked, defend
it with so much eagerness, in preference to so
many other truths equally Catholic? The rea-
sons for the eagerness which Catholics display
in defence of Papal Infallibility, set forth at
some length in the Civilta Cattolica, we will
examine next week. The subject is one of
great interest, and has already, at different
times, been discussed. in these pages. To
keep before the public mind the practical im-
portance of this doctrine in our conflicts with
the growing scepticism of the age, with the
spirit of rationalism which is making such
ravages around us, is a duty of every Catholic
writer, and we feel certain that as the attack
of the enemies of the Christian faith is directed
with virulent persistency against Papal autho-
rity, our wisest policy is to take a lesson from
our enemies, and defend with a like persistency
lie citadel of our faith.—Westminster Gazette.

Under the above heading, the Civilta Cabo-
lica replies to the speeches of M. 011ivier and
M. Baroche, concerning Gallicanism in France,
delivered in the Corps Legislatif in July last.
We commented at the time on these speeches,
full of misrepresentation and of insult, in the
pages of the WESTMINSTER GAZETTE, and we
rejoice to see the masterly refutation given by
the Civilta Cattolica to the theories of the ad-
vocates of an effete Gallicanism. It begins
by recalling the words of M. 011ivier, the ac-
cents of grief in which he deplored the fall of the
Gallican Church, the daughter—the illegiti-
mate daughter, it is true—of Kings, brought
up at Court, trained by Ministers and Parlia-
ments, the hope of politicians, who projected
between her and the State a happy alliance.
k " Where," asks M. 011ivier, "is that Gallican
Church—that beautiful and glorious Church
lof France ? Where are those priests, those
1 bishops, animated with one spirit, professing
1 opinions in union with those of the State and
united in the most admirable harmony ?"
1 . . . The ancient maxims are abandoned.
. . . the opinion of the infallibility of the
Pope alone, which at first was an open ques-
tion, then a probable opinion, is now a certain
opinion. It is seen in the proclamation of the
dogma of the Immaculate Conception. From
that day the infallibility of the Pope alone is
become a certain opinion ; and there exists an
immense association, which I will not call
secret but mysterious, the members of which
take a vow to defend that opinion usque ad
effusionem, sanguinis. . . . In the present
state of things, how is it possible to act in
concert with the clergy ; how send ambassa-
dors to the Council 9" The Civilta Cattolica,
first of all, justly takes exception to the misuse,
by M. 011ivier, of the term Gallican Church.
This term, it says, is not to be understood in
its true sense, according to which it signifies
that part so illustrious of the Catholic Church
and so meritorious which exists in France, but
, they are to be taken in a bad sense, inasmuch
! as they designate an ecclesiastical party which
I in France, leaning on the civil power, was an
enemy of the authority and prerogatives of
the Roman Church, and consequently of the
Catholic Church, of which the Roman Church
is the head and centre. The Civilta Cattolica
quotes largely from the " Centenary of St.
Peter and the (Ecumenical Council," by Dr.
Manning, " that great light of the Church of
Eno-land "in refutation of Gallican opinions ;
0 '
and then returning to M. 011ivier and to M.
Baroche, it remarks that it is not in the tribune
of the French Chambers, but at the Vatican,
that the power and right reside of declaring
what is the doctrine of the Church. The proof
that the infallibility of the Roman Pontiff is
a certain doctrine of the Church is clear and
.simple, for among the thousand bishops who
govern the Catholic Church there is not one
-who teaches the contrary doctrine. The Civilta
Cattolica defies M. 011ivier to produce one who
does so, and if he should chance to discover
one, the truth of the affirmation would only
be more manifest, because such an unfortu-
nate bishop would be, by this fact alone, the
object of the reprobation of all his brethren,
and of every Catholic. But if not one bishop
can be found who teaches the doctrine pro-
pounded in the French,Chambers by M. 011i-
vier and M. Baroche, five hundred can be pro-
; duced without any research who, supported
by the formal adhesion of all the rest of the-
bishops dispersed over the face of the earth,
profess and teach Papal infallibility. "If we
are asked," says the Civilta, Cattolica, " who
are they ?" we Answer, " the Patriarchs,
Archbishops, and Bishops, who, at the feast of
the Centenary of St. Peter, presented an
address to the Sovereign Pontiff, in which the
doctrine of the infallibility of the Pope was
clearly expressed and avowed."
After reciting the words of that solemn and
significant address, the Civilta, Cattolica de-
clares that it is a fact, the evidence of which
is incontestable, that the party which had so
unjustly usurped the name of Gallican. Church,
a party composed of a confused mixture of
Jansenists and Regalists, no longer exists, in
France ; it is dead. The Papal authority is
now acknowledged by all the bishops, and by
all the faithful laity of France ; the voice of its
'may isteritcm, is listened to as an infallible oracle
by every bishop, and by every Catholic of
France. There are but two living Churches
in France to-day—the Roman Catholic Church,
with all its ultramontane doctrines, and the
Satanic synagogue of impiety, of unbelief, and
of libertinage. That hideous jumble of semi-
Catholic and semi-Protestant doctrines which
was called Gallicanism, has disappeared.
In concluding this portion of its subject,
the Civilta Cattolica recites several remarkable
passages, on the origin and immediate con-
demnation of Galilean opinions, from Arch-
bishop Manning's " Centenary of St. Peter,"
a work which the Roman writer warmly recom-
mends to the attention of every Catholic reader.
The Civilta Cattolica then proceeds to examine
the second thing which M. 011ivier complains
of—that is the association "if not secret at
least mysterious," which swears to defend,
usque ad effusionem sanguinis, the infallibility of
the Sovereign Pontiff. This is an allusion,
says the Civilta Cattolica, to the vow which
we proposed last year on the occasion of the
Centenary of St. Peter, as a special witness
of faith and devotion to the Apostolic Chair.
We are truly happy of the opportunity which
M. 011ivier affords us of reverting to this sub-
ject. We will briefly recall the circumstances
under which we proposed this vow. Struck
by the twofold fact that the spirit of God had
inspired the faithful in times so calamitous for
the Church, to offer a double tribute, that of
money by the means of Peter's Pence, and that
of blood by the voluntary enlistment of so
many young men from every part of the world
in the Papal army, we thought that a third
tribute might be added, that of the under-
standing and of love, by solemnly undertaking
before God to believe in and to maintain the
infallibility of- the Pope, by means of a vow,
expressed in the following terms, for which
others may be substituted, provided that the
sense remains the same :
"To St. Peter, the blessed Prince of the
Apostles, I, N.N:, moved by the desire of
offering to you, and in you to your successors
in the Apostolic chair, a tribute of singular
devotion, which on the one hand compensates
you for the outrages done to the Roman See,
and, on the other, impels me to offer it greater
honour, vow to hold and profess, when occa-
sion offers, even at the price of blood, that doc-
trine now most commonly held by Catholics,
which teaches 'that the Pope, in defining
authoritatively in his capacity of Universal
Teacher, ex cathedra, as it is called, that which
ht,s to be believed, in matters of faith and
morals is infallible,' and that, consequently, his
dogmatical decrees are infallible and binding
on the conscience, even before they have been
followed by the assent of the Church. May
it please 'you, 0 most glorious St. Peter, to
offer in my name this vow to the Divine
Founder of the Church, from whom descended
to you and to your successors all the prero-
gatives of the high pontificate and of the
supreme magisterium, and obtain for me to be
now and henceforth so bound to your See, and
so docile to the authority of your successors,
that by constant firmness in the Faith I may
participate iii the supreme blessedness of never
erring in the way of salvation."
Now, first of all, we will ask of M. 011ivier
what is there secret or mysterious in all this ?
We proposed this practice publicly and by
means of the press ; our proposal was repro-
duced by Catholic journals of every country
in,their own language. The matter of the ob.
ligation, its end, and the means of attaining
it were clearly stated. How could greater
publicity have beets given to it ? M. 011ivier
says that the 'number of those who adopted this
proposition is immense. We are.very glad to
hear it, for it is a proof that our proposition
has 'been blessed by Heaven and is in accord
with the universal Catholic sentiment. It is,
moreover, - an irrefutable evidence against the

In alluding to the story told by Signor Moreno

to England as the Nana's agent, who had spent
years in European travel and bad witnessed the
operations in the Crimea, attained a great influ-
ence over his employer prior to the outbreak of
the Sepoy war. To this 'man more than to any

tality which seems to be reserved for designing
scoundrels. The freedom of his intercourse among
the English aristocracy gave him the passport of
the Continent, and he saw everything worth seeing
before he returned to Cawnpore. He spoke and
wrote English, was shrewd, intelligent, forming
and acting on opinions of his own, affable, fawn-
ing, subtle, as an Eastern native, selfish, treach-
erous, and cruel. lie flattered to betray, and most
hated the hand which gave him most. The opinion
he formed while abroad was that England was
but a second-rate Power, a mere money-grub-
bing, shopkeeping nation, without the right which
national characteristics and power ought alone t .) give
of ruling such an empire as India. Though quick to
currentdetect of strengthEnglishfail andings he saw nothing of the deep
resolve which underlies the
Anglo-Saxon nature. The French, with their mar-
tial instincts and military glitter, in his eye con-
trasted favourably, and he could not conceive by
what freak of fortune a country like England ruled
an empire like India. There was a laughing, sneer-
ing devil in the man's eye that harshly grated on
the British officers with whom he came in con-
tact.ficia 1
as
w a Feelings he did, general though super-
hie knowledge, we cannot be sur-
prised that his influence over the Nana on his return
was great, and that he should have heartily thrown
himself into a movement he considered certain to be
successful, and where success would raise him to regal
hipinolNivcyerew.as well defined and tho-
due, it is believed, the hor-
rrdioibgulngeillpt,ya.arntsdolir tishe Cawnpore massacre. His object
was to commit the wavering to a war a l' outrance,
to terrify and to madden the English, so that there
could be no forgiveness ; thus those compromised,
having no other choice than the gallows or the
throne, wouldbe compelled to fightin earnest. When
the Nana's palace was captured, scattered conspicu-
ously about were the letters of ladies of high rank ad-
dressed to this detestable wretch, who desired to leave
his sting when impotent in any other way to injure.
We only regret that these letters were not published
that whatever scandal was contained therein might
have been brought home to the guilty parties. The
fellow disappeared and left no sign, and many an
English officer bit his lips in anger when he thought
that the miscreant had escaped. Of all men connected
with the mutiny that was the man the English desired
to capture. Other men implicated in these horrors
might be forgiven ; but him, never ; for the Nana
was a mere tool in his hands, and it was he who
mainlystamped on the war its indelible horrors. Who
is this Moreno, who assertshe was the trusted friend
and aid-de-camp of Nana Sahib? The trusted friend
and aid-de-camp was the person we have described,
and if a thought that that person was Moreno
crossed the mind of the British Government a de-
mand would surely be made for him under the ex-
tradition treaty. He tells the Washington corres-
pondents of the daily papers that he discovered an
island in the Malayan archipelago of immense ex-
tent, boundless resources, and unequalled fertility ;
that he discovered it when sailing in a small boat
from Singapore ; that he was received with rapture
by the twenty rajahs who governed it, and who have
now, so great is the confidence he has inspireA, au-
thorized him to cede their jurisdiction to the United
States ; that, notwithstanding the island was
hitherto unknown to navigators or geographers—
a perfect " Godsend island"—
he found there a let-
ter from Louis Philippe, and one from Louis Na-
poleon, addressed by these monarchs to the rajahs,
who had to wait for their translation till the
fortunate advent of Moreno : and, finally, that
he has solemnly promised the rajahs that he
will not offer this island to the English or the Dutch.
To make himself still more interesting he added
the story of his connection with the Nana Sahib.
It,is just possible that his knowledge, if he be the
person indicated, was sufficient to lead hint into a
gross error. he expressions in vogue towards
England by Washington correspondents, and a few
bitter remarks by the press, might deceive the al-
leged diicoverer into the notion that there was a
race hatred between the nations, and that his in-
terest would be best forwarded by showing how
active an enemy of England he had been. A little
knowledge is a dangerous thing, and it may in this
instance prove very dangerous indeed.

MISCELLANEOUS NETS.

It is instructive to compare the well-considered
opinions expressed in the 'United StateS regarding
the .position of the negro race in the South. That
position is a difficult problem to solve, perhaps the
most difficult ever given to a nation. Finande, the
Tariff, and, even Civil Service Reform, mighty sub-
jects as they are, sink into insignificance when com-
pared with the destinies of a race numbering four
millions. It is not in truth the negro that excites
the interest ; it is his effect ou a population of
Anglo-Saxons, double his own number, and their
effect on a nation of some thirty-five millions of
citizens. Could the Anglo-Saxon race agree, the
black man's destiny would be at once decided, but
the trouble arises from the fact that the ruling race
neither can nor are likely to agree as to the position
he is to occupy. Supposing a person deeply inte-
rested in and well acquainted with the subject were
discussing it with an educated and intelligent shep-
herd in the Australian bush, who knew nothing
of what had occurred in the world for years
—and there are scores of such men —the first
inquiry the Australian would make would be—
"lf the Anglo-Saxons living with the negroes are
agreed as to their relative position, why should the
others whom it does not concern interfere? The
solution of the difficulty, if the Southerners think
alike, is to let them settle matters with the negroes."
A Southerner would at once reply " Of course it is,
and all the trouble arises from these fanatical,
puritanical, meddling Yankees, who will thrust
themselves where they are not wanted, and can only
do unmixed mischief." A Republican Northerner,
on the contrary, would maintain that—" if left to
themselves the stronger race would reduce the
weaker to slavery, a state wholly opposed to the
principles upon which the Republic is founded.
'the blacks were slaves, and this led to a disastrous
\ war, their liberation being accomplished by a vast
expenditure of the blood and treasure of the ruling
race. If abandoned they would revert to the same
condition, and that will lead to the same result."
The Australian would naturally observe—" If the
Southerners were defeated in an appeal to arms and
the slaves emancipated, why do they not accept
the position and work as other free communities,
employing the blacks as paid labourers ?" "So we
do," exclaims the Southerner ; " this is what we
desire." "No you do not," retorts the Northerner,
"it is. not what you desire ;" and narrowed to this
really is the question. The North insists upon the
negro occupying the position in the South that an
immigrant occupies in the North, and that society
shall there stand on the s tme footing. Theoretically
the South accepts this, but practically it rejects it.
The Southerner says :—" We have been brought
up with the negroes, and know the race. Our
interest and theirs are identical ; we can have no
object but to treat them kindly, and live with them
in peace. Our fortunes have been shattered by
this fearful war, and more than any other people
do we require peace to repair them. The effects of
a servile war would fall upon us, and lead to our
irredeemable ruin ; and who in his senses can sup-
pose that we could originate such a calamity ?
But we are Anglo-Saxons, and we can live in
no country which we do not rule. Let us
rule, and the blacks shall be well treated." But
h)w treated ? asks the Northerner—as a poor
white, or as a valuable animal ? This brings out
the real difference in the social and political theories
of North and South. What the Northerner means
is that the black must be' a citizen, and on all
points recognized by the law as such. What the
Southerner means is that the negro musttake the place
for which GOD intended him, that is as his servant,—
and be fed, clothed, and housed as long as he be-
haves well and works well. It seems to be impoz-
sible to reconcile this difference of opinion, for it
springs from a differeOce of generations of training
in different climates, being most marked in the
extreme North as in Maine, and far South, as in

inferior.. Then he went on to give a woman s rights

Dr. Leonard Woods, ex-president of Bowdoin
College, has just returned to Maine from a fifteen months'
sojourn in Europe. While abroad he was led into some
very extended historical researches, which are likely o be
of much importance to students of history. He has seen
and noted some seventy-seven maps of America, issued
during the early part of the sixteenth century ; and Mr.
Kohl of Berlin is about to publish copies of several of them
under the auspices of the Maine HistOrical Society. Dr.
Woods also discovered among the unarranged manuscripts
of Sir Thomas Phillips of Cheltenham a long-lost manu-
script of Hackluyt's, in 20 chapters, concerning the "greato
necessitie and manifold commodyties that are like to growe
to this Realme of Englande by the Westerno discoveries.'
He was very generously allowed to take copied of it by
Sir Thomas, and has brought home with him an accurate
version of :this rare document.

The question that suggests itself to those looking
on at a distance is whether the New Englander is
not making the same mistake that the Old Eng-
lander has always made. The Britisher's social
system, his religion, his Government, are in his
opinion the best in the world. What is good for him
must be good for others—therefore he has ruled
Greeks, Ilindoos, Chinese, Maories, Caffirs, Negroes,
Canadian French, and Celts on this principle, and
everywhere it has been perverted, done harm, and
led to much hatred. Is it not possible that the
negro may shake into his true position without the
into rference of the New Englander, and that the
social theory—though sound and good in practice
with him—may be but ill adapted for conditions
wholly different? What is the wish of the African ?
for testimony points strongly to the fact that he
prefers his old masters to those designated " carpet
baggers," who now endeavour to establish them-
selves as negro leaders. Fro :n the best source evi-
dence comes that the change of feeling throughout
the South is market, and that the negroes will
carry most of these States for the ticket favoured
by those called " rebels." If so, then the decision
is conclusive, for the Southerners openly proclaim
that there are ethnological reasons why the negroes
cannot rise to a condition superior to that they pro-
pose to give them ; this the negroes answer by
abandoning those whose object it is to maintain them
in the dignity of citizenship, and going over to
the persons who assert that they are unqualified by
nature for any other position than that of hewers
of wood and drawers of water. The most important
act of a Southern Legislature is that of the Georgia
House of Representatives, which adopted a resolu-
tion declaring negroes ineligible to seats, to which
we elsewhere allude, and the resolution was fol-
lowed by the negroes leaving the House. Through-
out the South the greatest disorder prevails, and if
one-half of the newspaper reports be true, there is
but a short step from the present state into a ser-
vile war. It is not the negroes again st whom the
Southern ire is aroused, but against the " scally-
wags," as the " carpet baggers" are designated, and
they in truth embrace Northern men, who have
merely sought a good opening for capital and en-
terprise in the South. The plan now adopted by the
Southern leaders is bearing excellent fruit for their
cause. The habits of a lifetime cannot be eradicated
by a revolution, nor can the innate respect and re-
gard of the negro for the old planter families on
whose estate he has been born and bred be sud-
denly transferred to a " Scallywag." SAMBO
grins with delight when his old master holds out to
him the hand of reconciliation, and .whether the
Southern ethnological theory be true or false, it
will take many years to erect the negro into a genuine
freedman, and give him the habit of individual in-
dependence, which is the marked characteristic of
the Anglo-Saxon, and found but in few other races.
Whether his election to stand by his old masters
be the result of astounding ignorance, or a well-
considered act of judgment, does not change the
position he thus takes up, for if the former he is
incorrigible, and had better be left for another
generation to their guidance ; and if the latter, on
the very principle of the freedom for which the
Northerner contends, he has a right to choose, and
he may choose for himself as wisely as another race
who does not understand him, might choose for
him..—Anglo-American Times.

may be his shortcomings, has mainly directed animosity
against himself by his efforts to guard the Treasury
of his country. If Mr. Donnelly's constituents send him
back to Congress we can only conclude that one who uses
this language fairly represents them : " I believe that
God never made a baser man (than Mr. Washburne). And
indeed I sometimes think that God never made him, but
lot him out to the lowest bidder, like the Custom-house,
and that the devil was the lowest bidder."

But it is asserted that the Oregon producer paps -f
commission to the Francisco dealer on every one °
these articles, and that the profits charged there lessen t°
market abroad, while at the same time a profit has to 13a
paid in the same way on every article of consumPti°ll;
Oregon products are in particular cured meats and bread"
stuffs. The flour, when it reaches the East, is credited t°
Calif ornia, since it is shipped there. But it brings
teen dollars dollars per barrel, and if the fact of its prod c;
tion wore generally known, it would make a grew
market for Oregon flour, and so enrich the gr°sve a
The State has five flouring mills ; is paying attenti°
to sheep-raising, and making it a leading indusl
has four woollen mills in operation, and two more bull
ing ; furnishes an immense quantity of salmon ; o*Pa-a
the Pacific steamship companies with cured meats, stilas
takes the lead in the San Francisco market for choice bilicie
and dried beef. And now the demand is for direct wily
with the cities along the Atlantic coast. We can re r.
appreciate the feelings of the Oregonians in the Inatte,,,
They raise .what we want, and what they k°`
need. But they got neither cash nor credit fov.

productions, and have to see California absorb a pr°fi.t,.°,.
all of their exports and imports, and in doing 50
vent the estimation and immigration they would other` ;-;6
have. There is but one rem3dy for this. That they 113;la
hit in broaching direct trade. We venture to sag th.%ct
cargo of salmon, dried beef, wool and flour, sent dr.
here, would pay its freight and leave as good a proni,_te,
can be gained from their intercepted trade. At all eTeilloso
one shipment could be easily made and would 110 t for
tho shippers a fortune, if it did not make ale „ar
their. A return cargo could be easily made up froll1;d
manufactures of iron, textiles, &c., and if the r°,„be
voyage proved profitable the problem would be solved• ",t,
increase of crops and of wealth and population there Etbr'ility,
testing themselves in an increased disposition and araileS
to build railroads. A road is being built for 150 leg
through the Williamette Valley, and as business inerr_ito
the rails are to be laid through the valley of ter P.7'4
and Rogue rivers to the California State line, where t;e
will connect with those of that State; while a trunk ',A
is talked of between the mouth of the Columbia B,' be
Puget's Sound, 700 miles north. 'Government aid svili!to,
asked for the latter, as a branch of the Pacific Road. Tu43,,
facts show the rapid development of that region, and
duce the hope that the threatened direct trade will b°
augurated soon."
Indian depredations have been mainly transferreecir
to Colorado, from whence many tales of mu fifty
and arson are reported. Two hundred and field,
Colorado volunteers have been called into the
and a farce has also been raised in Kansas Pleoo
to a war of extermination. Besides the destr.aeca by
of the waggon train from Santa Fe, repol,tees
Cable last week, with the scalping of the !1,. any
Mexican guards, another train was attack
captured after the guards expended all their !rot

led to.any result, nor do the people expect rni,e giost
they know what an Indian war means. • rilf he
dreadful part is the delight of these wretches 10,, va'
