those causes have been fcding away. The. in
fuences which hitherto held England and Rus
STA apart, says the n. Y. Times, have ceased
to exist, and the English nation halls the union
OF the TWO royal families as a good omen for the
future. Next to the marriage of the Prince of
Wales with a Princess of Denmark, nothing in
the history Of the Queens children has been
more popular. German Princes are not favou-
rites with the British people. Prince Friedrich
Wilhelm was accepted by them as a suitable
husband Tor the Princess Victoria, who thereby
became proSpectively Queen of PuSsIa and now
Empress of Germany. But Prince Ludwig of
Hesse was little cared for, and the disposal of
the Princess Helena to Prince Christian was
more than unpopular.
Should any cause for disagreement arise be-
tween the two Governments, it is, of course,
quite out OF the question to think that the fact
OF the Princess Marie having become Duchess
OF Edlngburgh, will exert any influence what
ever upon the settlement of the dispute. But
1t may tend Indirectly to lessen the probabilities
OF any such disagreement, It will certainly
exercise a moral influence, even though it can
be OF no political import. 1t brings the two
nations more closely together. It tends to in
crease social Intercourse between them. II
vii give to each a better appreciation of the
Other. And this is a great advantage gained.
Although SO much is heard from alarmists
about the contest between the power of Britain
and Russia ia Asia, that is to be thought inevi
table, 1t is a matter of tolerable certainty that
the interests of the two nations are not so anita
gonistlc in the East as they are often represen-
ted TO be. 1t needs but a better mutual under
standing between the peoples to make this a
conviction in the minds of both. And any thing
which promises, even remotely, to further that
knowledge, must be d blessing to them and to
civilization. It is considered in this light that
the marriage is really one of some import, and
has been the cause of rejoicing throughout
the two greatest empires in the world.

With reference to the election of the
next Pope, it is announced that several
bulls have been drawn up since 1870, au-
thoriSing the cardinals to appoint a pope
without holding a conclave. A Bull, dated
May %, 1878, declares the Cardinals absol-
we'd from the oath which binds them to
observe the constitutions now in force,
and that not only for the purposes of the
election of his next successor, but for those
of future elections. More especially, the
Cardinals are permitted under the clrcum-
stances to discuss the situation and make
all arrangements for the election of a new
pope before the present pope is actually
dead; only they must on no account agree
upon the person to be elected before the
Chair Of St. Peter is actually vacant. Ac-
cording to rule, the election must take
place in the city where the late pope died,
which rule is also altered. France, Aus.
tria, and Spain have a formally recognised
veto in the election of the pope. If the
veto should be allowed to these powers,
it could hardly be refused to Italy, but,
of course, the Roman Curia will not hear

The following teIegraphio and other items
principally from files received by American
Mail on Saturday will still be found Of interest.
GREAT BRITAIN.

A heavy gale prevailed around the British
Coast on the 10th.
A contradiction is given to the report that Mr..
Lowe, Secretary Of State for the Home Depart
ment, would retire from the Cabinet in oonse-
quence of a disagreement with Mr.. Gladstone
in relation TO the appointment of the Sheriff of
Lanarkshire, Scotland,
Mr.. George II. Whalley NJ. p, has written
to the papers persisting that the statements
made by Jean Luie, during his examination
as a witness for the defendant in the Tichborne
case, were true, and expressing his belief that
tho confession made by Luie at his subsequent
trial, Oh the charge of peri ny, was obtained
by bribery. For this Mr.. Whalley has been
summoned to appear and answer a charge Of
contempt of court,
The Government has decided to prosecute
several persons for conspiring to obtain British
registry for the French bark "Malflatre,'
which was destined to convey arms to the Car
lists in Spain.
A deputatlon of working men, headed by
Joseph Arch, has waited npon Mr.. Gladstone,
and urged the propriety of extending the cleo
tive franchise to the agricultural labourers.
Mr.. Gladstone expressed himself as in favour
of their object, but advised them to be patient,
pointing out to them the magnitude and Weigh
tiness of the measure, and the brief duration Of
Parliament.
The English papers are filled with articles
and programmes on the ceremonies of the Duke
of Edingburgh's marriage, which took place on
the 23rd ultimo in st. Petersburg. This union
between the imperial families of England and
Russia is generally looked upon as an event of
very little political Importance. Nc cause is
threatened by it, no complications will arise
out fit. But it has assumed a more than or
binary interest, partly from the novelty of the
alliance, partly from the favour with which it
has been received by the English people, and
partly from the power and historical renown
of the two houses. But It'll S not unprecedented.
Some eight hundred years ago, the daughter
of an English King did become Queen of Rus
STA. After the battle of Hastings, Harold's
daughter fed to Denmark TO solicit the protec-
tor of King Sweyn. Not only was the favour
granted, but the King found her a husband also,
in the person of Waldemarus, or Jarislaus,
King of Russia. But although in those days
such unions were usually of some significance
it was not SO in that instance. From that re-
mote time to this there has been no instance of a
connection between the ruling houses of Russia
and England until now. There are many
reasons why such a connection should not have
taken place before. The reader of history will
readily understand them but it has been evil

FRANCE.

In the Assembly, on the goth, the Bill con-
ierrlng on the Government the power of nomi-
mating Mayors finally passed by a majority Of
torty-threo votes. The Cabinet has thus been
successful in obtaining a small majority for
wrestling from France all but the last remnant
of municipal liberty. says them. VT" Itmay,
however, be confidently predicted that the maiori-

Will not on'yhaye a somew hat uneasy time of it,
but WllItaiI to exercise any thing like the political
influence which is expected from them. The
next attempt of the party of reaction which
supports the Minority, will doubtless be on the
integrity of universal suffrage. They have
already Indicated the scope of their policy
under this head, but the struggle of carrying
it out will be all the more difficult, from
the fact that no Bonapartist can afford to
join the Government in their next attack on
the national liberties. Meanwhile France
quietly elects Republican representatives as
the opportunity presents itself, and calmly bides
her time. While prudence and self-restraint
continue to prevail in the Republican councils,
the Republic runs no serious danger.
Mr.. Washburne, the American Minister at
Paris, on behalf Of the French residents of
Philadelphia, has presented Ex-President Theirs
with a gold medal. NJ. Theirs, after express
ing his thanks to his countrymen in the United
States for their repeated manifestations of
confidence in him, declared that the Republic
was the only government possible in France
consequently the bond of friendship between
the two nations would be strengthened.
On the 2lst, in the Assembly, the Left sub
mitted au Interpolation to the government re-
garding its treatment Of he press, which, after
a violent debate, was laid on the table by a
Majority Of 100.
After the close Of the sitting of the Assem-
bly,, Deputy Haentiens sent his seconds to NJ.
Gambetta with a cha llenge to fight a duel.
The Government has issued an order for
bidding the sale Of the newspaper L Opinion

SPAIN.
The iron-clad Numancia accompanied by the
men-of-war VittOria and Carmen, has arrived
at Cartagena.
Admiral Topete, Minister of Marine, has gone
to Cartagena with full power to investigate the
circumstances of the intransigente instruction.
General Dominiquez, at the head of the Cen
trail Army, has opened the campaign against
the Carlists in Valencia.
Barcia, late member of the Cartagenian Jun
ia, has written a letter to his friends, advising
them to abandon Federalism, and support the
national Government until the Carlist i~nsurruc-
ton is suppressed.
Santander was threatened by the Carlists,
but reinforcements of the Republican troops
hurried up, and the CarIists withdrew.

HARD TIMES.

A Maine newspaper, the Bradford Times,
thus discourses on account Of the present
aspect of business affairs:
The bad condition Of the financial affairs
OF the country, tho misappropriation Of the
peoples money, and the numerous and fraud
ulent plans to rob them, tending to demor-
alization, have something to do with "hard
times" but not ALL Almost every Ameri-
can imagines he has natural talent for
making money if he only has the chance,
and therefore he is ready to embark in any
undertaking, no matter how unreasonable it
may be. For a time he may struggle
against the laws of fate aud reason, but
sooner or later, ninety-nine out Of every hun
dred are overwhelmed with failures, and are
cast into the world as bankrupts. But until
the final ruin comes-until every jot and tit
tie Of his property is swept away from him
he "hourishes like a green bay tree"
HIS wife and daughters are Flora McFlim-
seys in elegance; fast horses, fast sons, wines
aud dinners, 90 to dazzle the world as to his
true position, and induce the unwary to ex-
tend his credit, while it is the only prop left
to his financial fabric. To remedy the evil,
and that is only temporary, he goes in for
imitation. 1t needs no particular powers Of
morality to declare that such condition Of
things is entirely wrong, but how is it to be
remedied2 We answer by teaching the peo-
pie that "honesty Is the best policy"-the
only wise policy. Our farmers, our mer-
chants, our manufacturers, should learn to
five within their incomes, and to consider
the payment OF debts moral duty. OuI
CHI urches should teach the doctrine thai
rep udiation of debts, when they can be paid
is but another name for robbery. If thesc
things can be accomplished, We will have q
remedy for "hard times"
