A TERRIBLE AFFAIR The Jail at Kngstree,

night It'll. Welearn that the fire had gained so
much Roadway before it was discovered, that its
progress could not be arrested. One white man

but twenty-five Of the negro prisoners (nineteen
males and three females persisted in the flames.
Their shrieks and screams they were gradual

We perceive that steamboat racing has been

Whether It shall continue throughout the sea-
son will depend on the frowns or the favor
bestowed by the public on this culpable and
perilous practice. 1t would be speedily
checked-perhaps the sooner the better-by
such dreadful explosion as occurred two
years ago on one Of the very steamers engaged
in this first Of our Hudson river races during
the present summer. That explosion involved
the loss Of two or three lives. No accident
happened the other night, although the rival

Tho Church Properf.ss In Italy.

The refusal Of the Italian Parliament to ratify
the convention concluded by Signor Ferrara
with certain Paris banking houses for loan
guaranteed by tax upon the property of the
Church is significant of the fate to which the
Church temporalities are destined. If this
arrangement had been concluded it would
have assured to the ecclesiastical establish
ments of Italy the continued possession Of their
endowments. They would have been heavily
taxed. to be sure; but the revenue thus derived
would have formed an obstacle to their conds-
cation, inasmuch as It would have constituted
RECOGNITION Of the right to hold them. II was
this view Of the case which induced the clergy
to withhold active opposition to the tax, and
which also gave rise to the report that there

King was to bring about coup d'Stds and

This latter statement has been contradicted
ION authority !" but it Is evident that 1t
has not had the effect Of convincing the
members Of the Italian Parliament They
evinoe their belief in II by defeating negotia-
ton which seemed to them to be intended to
constitute guarantee for the inviolability Of
the Church temporalities. On former occa.
sion we gave expression to the opinion that
such compromise was impossible, and we are
now borne out in 1t BY the action Of the popu-
lar representatives. Signor Ferrara will have
to look to other sources to raise the money he

| The HoraId's Special Gable Despatchcs-An
Interesting Eur0peas Budget.
The HERALD's special cable dispatches
to-day will be found very full and interesting,
laying before our readers the latest intelli-
gence from London, Ireland, Constantinople,
Cronstadt and Madrid up to an early hour yes
terday morning. From London we have
concise and comprehensive report Of Parlia-
mentary debate on the Luxembourg treaty
question, arising out Of an attack made by the
opposition upon Lord Stanley for an alleged
lack Of craftsmanship and prudence in his ca
pacity Of representative Of Great Britain in that
important conference. Mr.. Lab0uchere and
Mr.. Ayrtoun, two Of the liberal members, took
the ground that by guaranteeing the neutrality
Of Luxembourg England had in fact bound
herself to an armed interference should the
terms Of the treaty be violated in the event OF
q future war between France and Germany.
Upon this view Of the case they endeavored to
excite the jealousy Of Parliament over it's priv
ileges by attempting to show that in
such an event Parliament would be vir-
tually deprived Of its constitutional power Of
granting to or withholding from the Crown the
war supplies This Lord Stanley denied, hold
ing that Parliament would still possess the
power to decide whether the country should
go to war or not; and he justified his course in
the Peace Conference, and claimed that by
Englands interference general European war
had been averted.
Another interesting item of Friday nights
Parliamentary proceeding, was the rejection
of q motion to expunge from the journal Of the
House of Commons s.I,l record Of petition pre-
sented and received some weeks nee praying
for the extension Of executive leniency to the
remains Condemned to death in Ireland. This
peuaon was from the English Reform Leaguers
ah'. others, and contained severe anmadver-
'sions upon British rule in Ireland, which the
| mover OF the resolution for it's obliterahon
from the records regarded as insulting TO the
Rr. ..:,n army and government The Hous1s,
however. rejected the rnOion--a result which
evinces the strength of the reform parry in the
British Commons.
The news from Constantinople of bad
defeat Of the Christians in Crete by the i'm
perial Turkish troops will probably impart
an additional anxiety to the great Powers OF
Europe for speedy and final settlement Of the
Eastern question.

In few dHs Lord Monck will arrive in
Canada to assume his duties as Viceroy, under
the powers conferred upon him by the bill re-
constructing the British Provinces into con-
solidated government His position will be
one OF considerable difficulty, and will require
more than usual tact to enable him to acquit
himself satisfactorily Of its duties. He has it
in his power to make himself one Of the most
popular, a. he can render himself one of the
most detested, Of rulers. Although the mea-
sure has been successfully engineered through
the local and imperial Parliaments, there is no
doubt that large portion-we believe the ma
jority-of the people of the Provinces are heart
and soul opposed to it On the new viceroy
will depend the question whether their dislike
to it can be overcome. II he succeeds in re-
c0noiling them to it, then the measure Of
his personal influence will be very great,
so great, indeed, that the imperial government
will find it difficult to displace him. Who
knows but that he mag be destined to play as
prominent part in the history of the new do
minion as did his ancestor, General Monck, in
that of England? If he be ambitious, he may,
like the viceroy Of Egypt, SO strengthen him
self in the affections Of the people over whom
he is called 10 rule as to compel recognition Of
his title to more elevated dignity. If, ON the
other hand, he is sufficiently disinterested to
appreciate the fact that the true interests OF
the Canadas are bound up with this country,
he my contribute to bring about union
which cannot but prove advantageous to both.
In either case the changes inaugurated by his
assumption Of Office can only be regarded as
experimental. There are few thinking minds
who regard the scheme which 10 has been
chosen 70 work out as offering any chance Of
permanency -. -~sss
