Review of the Week.

Hibernians, eliminating in large num-
her of deaths aud casualties; the military
being obliged to fire upon the rioters,
which put a speedy end to what threat
ened to be second 1868 affair. About
fftv lives were lost. Among the wound
ed was Col. Fisk of the Ninth regiment,
whose foot was injured in the atfray.-
English harvest crops are of an enoourag-
ing character. There is an exception IN
the case of the hop crop.-Seven persons
ware killed and twenty.one wounded, and
many buildings and bridge were de-
stroyed or much injured at Dayton, ONO,
last week Sunday by the occurrence OF
terrible storm of wind and rain. There
were MANY storms on the same day in
other statcs.-M Theirs has written
letter to the Pope, 10 which he tells him
that. should he come to France, he would
have a fitting welcome, but adding
that he had better stay where he
is. To leave Italy would be to
offend Italy, doubted and the Pope could
not be treated according to his grade
in France. Then the Frenchman proceeds
to say that the influence of France could
be used to restore good relations between
the italian Kingdom and the Holy See
an offer that ought infallibly to put the
Pope in rage, for be does not admit that
there il an italian Kingdom. "The Sub

which Victor Emanuel ii. is the head,
and for him to allow M. Theirs to mediate
with that government in his (the Pope's,
behalf, would be recognition of that
government as the government of the
Kingdom of Italy. What would become
of all the Pope's recent encyclicals, should
he make such recognition NJ Theirs
seems to have forgotten that the Pope's
watch stopped in 1859, and has not been
wound up and regulated, and set a-going,
since that time-though its owner has
been. His holiness does not desire French
mediation, but French army which
shall march to Rome, and make the
Italian government march out of it. If
France has not an army to spare, the
Pope will not care more for her
than he cares for Italy - and as
for her mediatorial power probably
he thinks it is not much above her mill
tary power, as that was exhibited for six
months following the 18th of July, in the
year of Disgrace one thousand eight hun
bred and seventy.-Mrs. Fair is to have
another chance of her life. Her case goes
up to the Supreme Court of California,
and the appeal will be heard in October.
This stays execution for some months,
and we hope forever, for there is some
thing so beastly in the hanging of wo-
man that it should not be allowed in
civilized community, no matter what her
offense may have been. 1t is not TO her
punishment that objection is made, but to
the mode of infiicting that punishment
a mode that is cruel, degrading AVID
filthy, and which is meant thus to be-a
mode which is not necessary for the TAX
ing OF life, but which is expressive of a
brutal, dastardly, revengeful, and a
spiteful spirit, that is as foreign to civil
lizition and humanity as it is to the sub
lime sentiment of Christianity-a spirit
that we are commanded to put away from
us, and which every m0n who respects
himself will repulse as firmly as he
would repulse diabolical sugges-
tion to pick pockets or to torture
children. Let women who must die
because they have sent others to death be
disposed of decently,-or, better still, let
them DO imprisoned for life, which is a
severer sentence than to suffer that pang
which brings "aI end to human ill."-lt
is expected that the Marquis of Lorne
and the Princess Louise will visit this
country soon. We hope that Louise, who
is clever sensible woman, has cured
Lorne Of those secession sympatbies
which be used to sport when he visited
this country some years since.-It is ex-
pected that M. le Due de Broglie will
take the post of Minister for Foreign AT
fairs in the French Government, Jules
Favre to make way for him.-The Rus.
sian Gar and his wife, and two of his
sous, are rusticating on the shores of the
Lake of Constance, "a very nice place for
rustication, and where one would like
constantly to be-It is said that Fritz j.
oddly received in England, the English
feeling his visit to be of the nature of an
intrusion, they knowing full well that
the imperial gentlemen has come amongst
them only to play the part of spy, part
which his rank and position give him ex.
cellent opportunities to perform we'll and

mission anywhere, without giving off:nce,
and when admitted IS places connected
with tho military and naval systems of
Britain, his experienced eye will enable
him to take in their character and con-
dition at Il glance. But, if he be coldly
received by the people, he is not the less
civilly treated by the authorities and the

will have an opportunity to eat civilized
meal, like Christian, which will be quite
novelty in his experience. Perhaps the
