we'll be startled by such piece Of news. Tails
was no ordinary scandal, like the many infa-
nous stories told against Queen Elizabeth aud
Mary Queen OF Scots. winch could be fairly i'm
puted to political and religious hate. 1t was
not the invention of a political enemy, OF
religious rival. True or false, the accusation
was launched by one of Catharine'sq Q Tn country
men; by an official person, who was her fathers
servant. 1t was not given to the world; 1T was
not meant to do her harm; IL was reported TO
her own arents only, and in confidential
unbecomihg conduct on GATHERINGS part was
evidently considered by the Spanish archivtsts
as damaging 10 the fame OF their royal house.
Yet despite all these appearances against
her, we consider the Princess Catherine to
have been more sinned against than sim
ming. Her confessor, Father Fernandez, was
one OF those proud and ignorant monks OF her
country who exalted their office beyond all
bounds. He thought himself the trst man In
the Princess household; and when Fuensalda,
Knight Commander OF Membrilla, came to
London as Spanish ambassador, the proud
monk and the haug6y hhdas95 st56 began to spar
lence. Fernandez took his own course with his
penitent; so that the ambassador soon found
his relations with the Princess anything bat
pleasant: At first Fuensalida complained to
the King his master that Father Fernandez
exercised bad influence over his daughter, and
recommended that he should be recalled from a
post which he abused. Catharine took the con-
fessor's part IN this quar- rrel-calling the Father
her best friend and wisest councillor in her
troubles, and throwing the blame of everything
that was wrong on the ambassador. Then,
Fuensalda thre " out hints that the monk was
abusing the confidence of his mistress in more
ways than one. In fact, he said, the Father was
bad man. guilty of many sins, and that the
Princess was not much better than the monk
or what Fueusalida meant to suggest there can
be no doubt whatever; and the Spanish archl-
visits appear to have thought that papers which
contain these details were unfit for the eyes of
English heretics and enemies. But we think
they prove no more than that an unseemly
quarrel took place between Spanish riar aud
a Spanish ambassador; that these eminent per-
sonages abused each other in good set terms
and that in their hate and violence they pre-
sumed to hint at things about the royal lady,
whose honor it was their duty to guard from
evil tongues, for which they had no grounds.
We think the papers now produced prove
nothing worse against Catharne than a good
deal of haste and temper; and we rejoice to
think that this scandalous imputation on her
credit comes to us, not from an English source,
but from the royal archives and secret ciphers
of her native land.

that he could not go with the club

Tho present Congress is without

recklessly extravagant in making ap-

done for the benefit Of manufacturers,
