The London Times, in its review of the year
1866, begins with these somewhat remarkable
admissions -.
A gloomy, eyentful and ominous year closes
to-day IN England. A long season Of prosper

by consciousness of the relative inefficiency
of the national ornaments, and of a proper

the councils of the world.

NEW YEARS SPEECH OF THE KING.
At a reception given by the King to depu-
tation from the Italian Parliament, His Maj
esty remarked that the New Year reminds
Italians that they have now secured the indie
pendence of their country, and with it an inn
proyement in the civil administration, and in
creased public prosperity During the period
of peace upon which we are entering, we shall
not cease to devote our attention to the army.
The army is not only necessary for the preser-
walton OF that independence, which it so great
ly contributed to acquire, but is in itself SOL
Id guarantee for internal security, and an ele-
ment OF moral unity, and of that civil training
winch renders disciplined nations strong and
capable of accomplishing great Deeds"
MANIFESTO OF THE COMMITTEE OF ACTION"
1t is not only Mazzini who breaches action
to the Roman people. The Italian papers pub
fish the following manifesto, copies of which,
printed by the Republican clandestine press,
covered the walls of Rome on Dec. IS: s.
Romans! The French banner is furled; the
| French army has quilted Italy. The shield
that for seventeen years has protected our Zero
cious and incapable government is Withdrawn.
! A few Papal braves and rabble rout'of for
eigners cannot hold in check the people which
| repulsed the army of Oudlnot from their walls
| on the 3Oth of April, 1849. All true Liberals
feel the necessity of rallying our forces for the
| purpose of uniting in one supreme unanimous
| effort We are on the watch for the opportune
moment for Instruction, and preparing the
| elements of victory. Until that moment ar
rves, be upon your guard against all unknown
| agitators, and avoid all tumult or disorder
which might be snare laid for YOU by your en-,
emies. In the meantime prepare calmly and
resoluteiy for battle; when the hour for deliv-
erance sounds, we will call you to arms N
Long live free Rome. the capital of Italy.
Dec. 16 1866. III
THE ITALIAN SENATE ON THE ROMAN QUESTION.
The address of the italian Senate in reply to
the speech from the throne was voted on Dec.
%. Like the speech of the King, it avoids
speaking of the annexation of Rome, it mere
ly says: -n'-f n'ts'' $50 b..
Augmented, by the conclusion of peace, by
illustrious provinces she SO greatly desired,
and by formidable defences, Italy presses
around your throne while awaiting that agree
ment between Church and State of which
your Majesty has spoken, and which is the wish
and the hope not only of the Italians, but of
all the Catholic world, and which must be car
ried out in such manner that the Church tru-
" free and independent in it's sublime sphere,
does not afford any impeachment to the State in
the development of its legitimate aspirations.
This will be the seal of our greatness and the
starting-poin of revival of religious feeling,
in case-possibly owing to the ardor of past
struggles-it may anywhere have fallen of.

PARIS FAsH1oNs.-A recent letter from Paris

says:
The most characteristic features of the pres
emit fashions certainly are the diminished size
of the crinolines-if worn at all-and the Slim
ness given to the appearance round the hips
The dress is excessively gored, quite tight in
part, till forming sharp-pointed train. These
are intending for evening toilettes, and the
fashion is more and more gaining ground OF
wearing, forout-of-door wear, short Skirts over
a petticOat either similar to the upper one, or
forming acontra In the latter case the body
answers to the petticOat, the casaque, made en-
sac, being the same as the dress. Cotton vel
vets, called velveteens, are frequently made in
this way, and are much worn. Black is more
fashionable than ever, and when trimmed with
colors and a profusiOn of jet, is now thought
dressy enough for evening wear. iaafF
