mission Of the Chamber to put question to the
government respecting the regulating Of the
Roman Catholic community in the Netherlands
The question gave rise, as anticipated, to a long
and somewhat stormy discussion, in which
seven members, including three Cabinet Minis
ters, took part The latter stated that the
Dutch Government had acted on the constitu-
tional principle that each religious community
was at liberty to regulate, as it pleased its own
internal affairs, subject, of course, to the obe-
dience due to thelaws Of the country.
All the document relating to the question of
the establishing of Roman Catholic hierarchy
in Holland would be laid before the Chamber
Two members declared they would refrain from
expressing any opinion respecting the matter
until they had perused all the documents
Another member (HerrVan Hall) asked whether
the Bishops had been nominated by the Pope,
and the reply on the part of the Government
journed. Numerously signed petitions are still
being forwarded to the King, praying his Ma
jesty not to recognize the Bishops appointed by
the Pope. The Amsterdam petition was signed
by not less than 81 600 Protestants
Another account says that the Ministry had
announced to the Chambers that not only had
strong remonstrances been made to the people,
but that the Dutch Embassador had been with.
drawn from Rome The announcement was re-
ceived with marked satisfaction.

GREAT BRITAIN
Kossuth's alleged participation in the collec-
tion of munitions of war, is, next to the budget
of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the main
topic of newspaper discussion. The London
Times does not admit that Kossuth is exoner-
ated from breach Of faith with the Govern
ment that had given him shelter and safety in
his extremity.
1t denies that the house where the munitions
were found was an ordinance and legal manu-
| factory. '' Thousands of rockets of war packed
up in chests for transport, it says, can hardly
| be a legitimate object Of private commerce be-
| tween man and man., while if they were about
to be shipped to properly constituted and recog.
nized States, it would have been easy for the
maker or contractor to have satisfied Lord Pal.

had been given. Indeed such an order could

the persons most open to suspicion are tho
who have publicly announced their intention

.sIt is evident, from what we have alread
said, that, in taking the vigorous measures
which we have already referred, the Briti
Government has acted solely with view to Il
' safety of the metropolis, and the vindication
the law, and not upon the suggestion or demal
of any foreign power. There seems to be ella
of legislators in the House of Commons w
imagine that any offence may be committed wi
impunity, provided it is only intended to sha
the authority and destroy the troops of sol
Government abroad. Our Government is,
fact, called upon to do what the American Go
ernment was loudly condemned for not doin
when it permitted Lopez's expedition to s,
against Cuba.
"There may be Fillibusters in this count
as we'll as in the United States, and it matte
not rush to us for what illicit purpose the
thousands of war rockets were prepared. VIII

n the budget:

1t has been followed by slight degree of FL

and there will, therefore, be no large amou

cannot fail to have the effect of largely iucrea

These estimates for the present year show
expenditure of e55 ,005, 800, and a revenue
