mower promote this most desirable object. We
are mindful OF efforts made in former time by
English and foreign Bishops and theologians to
effect, by matual explanations on either side a
reconciliation between the Roman and Anglican
communion.. And, considering the intimate and
visible union which existed between the Church
of England and the rest Of Western Christendom,
we earnestly entreat your lorlships seriously to
| consider the best means of renewing like endea-
| yors, and to adopt such measures as may, under
the guidance of Gods Holy Spirit, be effectual IN
removing tho barriers which now divide the West
ern branch of the Catholic Church. But fully
conscious that so great gift as the heaithrul re-
unon of Christie ndom cannot be obtained py any
efforts of mere human wisdom, we further ask your
| lordships specially to commend to the members
of your locks earnest and perseyering prayer that
God would so pour His love into the hearts OF all
Christians that they may be drawn to be again one
fold under one shepherd Praying that in this
and all other deliberations for the glory OF God
and the good of His Church your lordships' coun-
sells may be abundantly blessed, we subscribe our
selves your faithful and obedient servants In
Christ"
| DIR. BELLOWS writes from Munich to the Liberal
| Christian 81 had long had the greatest admira-
ton for the genius of KAULBAcH, as exhibited In
his illustrations of German poetry, mythology,
and history To the penetrative intelligence and
spirituality which mark German art, ne seemed 10
add grace and elegance commonly wanting IN II.
His great af1luence and facility have not made him
| careless, and everything from his pencil ID deli
cate, refined and exquisite, without lacking dignity
and force He seems to possess most tender
| appreciation OF childhood and womanhood, and
no modern artist, to my eye, throws such grace
| and elegance about the human figure. 1t was
like meeting an old friend to see the great artist
in his studio His manly form is robust and
erect. the bloom of health is In his cheek, gen.
teness and power in his eye, ease and grace in
his manners, and all softened by seventy years
of an existence which can have had few idle hours.
He sat, as We entered, before his easel, at work
upon the drawing OF the loves Of two characters in
one Of the very old German Minnesingers. The
youth and sentiment of the picture suggested the
power which genius possesses OF carrying its own
youth with it into EXTREMIST age; and KAULBAoH
is really as young as in feeling and in the ma
ture and handling of his subjects. He showed us
several of his moro recent pictures, and especially
one elegant portrait OF Copenhagen merchant,
full of power and beauty. He talks with freedom
and charming insight about America, which
interested him, as it does most Germans, who
seem the only people capable tt looking at coun-
tries with reference to the ideas they stand for.
and their relations TO human progress. He bade
us not to expect period OF art in AmericA until
we had got ar, through with the great and
heroic period wach gives art its inspiration and
its subject. lie thought the late American war
would, in somo future time, be prolific source Of
artistic ideas and themes; but artistic eras come
they cannot be made"
LORD ALERCoRN, in recent paper on Ireland,
read before the Irisa agricultural Meeting, gives
some cheering statistics. From the Saturday Re
rieoo Of September z, We make the following ex-
tract: 'sThero were nearly f19, 900 Of bank
stock IN the Bank OF Ireland for the half year end
ing i'll June, 1867, exceeding tho returns of the
whole Of the year 1866 by f170,000. more signal
proof of increased acquisition and saving is at
forded by the deposits i'll the joint stock banks,
the returns of which show for the last half year
an increase of f2OO,OOO over the whole year 1866
and Fl 500, 900 over 1865. Added to this, the de-
u
gressive increase since the year 1862, at the rate
OF f34 900 year. Again, the purely agricultural
returns present notable features. The cattle trade
thliyes more and more every year. The number
expol ted last year was SIS, 900, as compared with
345, ,OOO exported in 1868 and 1876 200 exported in
1850. This means that Ireland is exporting cattle
to the amount of nearly $4,000, 900 annually. All
these facts are cheering. They confirm the i'm
preston which merely cursory observation
makes on every ono who revisits the sister island
at periodical intervals. There is o decided I'M
provement in the condition of many classes in Ire
land; there is decided increase in the agricul-
tural and pastoral wealth of Ireland. People who
used not formerly to make money make it now.
People who were not accustomed to save money
save it now. The Bank OF Ireland, the joint stock
banks, and Che Postoficc Savings Banks, all provo
this. At the same time it must be conceded and
regretted that this increase Of prosperity has not
penetrated deeper, and has not tperneated every
class. We must depIore the causes which produce
SO large emigration of the young, the hale, and
the active, and which leave over 10000 souls de-
pendent on poor-rates."
WRITER in the London 1in,eS under the sig
nature of "SeneY," communicates an interesting
reminiscence concerning the Empress CARLorrA,
from which We make the following extract: Deep
ly impressed, as many persons must be, by the
tragic history of the young Emperor of Austria
and his wife, have thought it might interest your
readers to know that which King LEOPOLD of Bel
gium himself narrated to me with respect to the
unfortunate Empress, his daughter, some years
ago. Speaking of her beauty (she was then but
dark, slender child), he said, think she will be
the handsomest Princess in Europe, if that could
bring happiness Then, after q pause, and with
the grave smile 30 peculiar to him, he added, You
know cannot hatter myself my Queen wished to
marry me; and for myself also will say nothing;
we both had other views. But every day since our
union has taught me more and more what an ex-
cellent and ami ,ble person she is; and about our
children, she has said many amiable things. 1t
Was her wish that the name Of CHARLOTTE should
be given to our daughter. She sad 4 know your
heart was given to Princess CHARLOTTE OF Eng
land; it is love with many sad and touching me-
mories attached to it. would like that our child
also should bear int name of CHARLOTTE; and l
pray God she ...av re nothing Of the destiny of
her whose name I vas except your Affection
King LEopoID D h;s been spared seeing the fatal
termination of his dlu3 3hters destiny, and the re-
suit OF that rash enterprise in Mexico, which, with
his usual sasacity, H. energeticaly opposed and
strongly dsapproved. But the uckless name has
once more been connected with strange and unex-
pected misery in his family."
