Treaty OF VISIT the politicians. The clerical and
religious question has been revived in both Cham
bers this week; it gives birth daily to books and
pamphlets the Professors in the College Of France
lecture against all Priesthood all Catholicity, and,
indeed, all Christianity; the Bishops and Abbes
work boldly and widely for their cause: they were
not the aggressors but they have formed them
selves into party which, by the junction Of semi
pious political laymen, becomes invidfous and un-
comfortable for the Government. The Jesuit con-
gregations have been ndiscreet and thus have ena-
bed the antagonists of the clergy in general to force
the Ministry into attempts to dispense those congre
gations at least remove their houses to the pro-
vinces. The Duke DE CHoIsEUL remarked of his
brother Premier of Portugal, the Marquis of POM
BAL, who banished the Order, that he had always
Jesuit astride on his nose. This seems to be the
case with the two Professors QuINET and MIcHE-
LET, of the Royal College Of France, and with a
certain number of Deputies.

ployers with whom they contend are some one hun
dred and fifty. This being the season for repairs
and new structures the suspension of their labor is
a serious evil. They calculate their average daily
wages at hftyslx centsquite insufficient they say,
for the support Of family while the cost of living
constantly increases here for all classes. The ex-
hibitions Of domestic manufactures at Vienna and
Madrid are described in journals from personal
and intelligent observation. Austrians and Span

definite law or suitable action. Observe the recent
statements Of Sir G. CocKBuRN in the British Par
