Right Hon. John Bright addressed an
| assemblage estimated to number sixteen
thousand persons in Birmingham FRI
day night. He commended the admins
tration, of Gladstone far its past legis-
| ton Act, which, he said, was framed in
hasty manner and is incomplete. He
advocated the repeal Of clause twenty
FIVE of the act by which denominatiOnal
schools are allowed TO receive payment
from the public rates. In his opinion Il
general re-examinatiou of the question
was necessary. Speaking of the war
against the Ashantees. Bright said no
one was more anxious than was the Ad-

adjustment of the difficulty. He believ-
ed the interests and honor of the coun-
try wonld be best consulted by the abso-
lutte withdrawal OF the British colonies
from the Ashantee coast at no distant
date. He then referred to the relations
between Great Britain and the United
States. Some Englishmen had spoken
of the treaty of Washington as humilia-
ting to Great Britain. The humiliation
| was between 1861 and 1865. If at that
time the British Government had prac-,
| ticed toward the United States gelier-
Gus neutrality the wealthier classes of
| England would not in the main have
sided with the insurrectionary, slave
holding planters. If the newspapers
here had then dealt with a spirit of fair
ness with our Transatlantic kinsmen,
| the dispute settled by the treaty of 1872
would not have arisen. The conduct of
| the Administration in reference to that.
| treaty snd subsequent arbitration under
1 its provisions mad added a nobler page
to the history of England than had all
the bloody battles recorded in its history.
He praised the Earl of Derby for initia-
ting the method of settling internation-
al disputes Dy arbitration; for the re-
ductiOns of qualifications necessary to
exercise OF country franchise; for the
| Redistribution of representation in par
1 lament and for moving for the reform of
| the game and land laws. He said that
among the questions which demand an
early solution, the last was the one es-
pecially of interest to agricultural labor
ers of the country, whom the present
system tending to the requirement of
large landed estates debars from all
hopes of proprietOrship in tine soil. He
acknowledged the harshness of the OPP
Grafton of tax upon incomes. Review
ing the forty years of the supremacy of
the Liberals in the Government as years
of progress and prosperity to the coun-
try, he animaIverted severely upon the
Conservative obstructiveness and their
present lack of settled policy, and urg-
ed the country to continue to support
the Liberal party. Bright's address oc-
cupied an hour and ten minutes in de-
livery and was received with untlagging
enthusiasm to the close. ..--

The following two letters recen tly
passed between the Emperor of Ger
many and the Pope. Their contents
were briefly stated by cable a few days
ago:
VATICAN, 7th of August, 1873.
| Your MAJESTY Measures which
have been adopted by your Majesty's
Government for some time past all aim
more and more at the destruction of
Catholicism. When 1 seriously ponder
lover the causes which may have led to
these very hard measures, confess / am
unable to discover any reason for such
a course. On the other hand am In
formed that your Majesty does not coun-
tenance the proceedings of your Govern
ness of the measures adopted against
the Catholic religion. II, then, it be
true, that your Majesty does not ap-
prove thereof, and the letters which
your august Majesty has addressed TO
me formerly kight sufficiently Demon
strate that you cannot approve that
which is now occurring; if, say, your
Majesty does not approve of your Coy
ernment continuing in the path it has
chosen of further extending its rigor-
Gus measures against the religion of Je-

al goodness and will adopt the measures
necessary in the present case. While

The Emperor replied as follows:
BERLIN, Sept. 3. 1873.
/ am glad your Holiness, as in former
times, does me the honor to write to me.

nifty is thereby afforded me of correct
ing errors which, as appears from the
contents of the letter OF your Holiness
: of the 9TH of August, must have occur

ceivej relative to German affairs. Ii

illness respecting German questions only

BILE for your Holiness to entertain a sup

on path which do not approve. Ac-
cording to the constitution of my States,
such case cannot happen, since laws
