Pursuant TO announcement. Rev. Fa-
,ther Hickey, OF the Roman Catholic
church, OF Newburg, delivered a lecture
in the Court House Hall on Tuesday
evening, before the Atheneum. His
subject was ''rhe Philosophy OF the Con-
fessiooal"
We were, ewing TO the crowded cons
Gition of the house, unable TO take any
notes OF the kble and eloquent address,
and consequently, will not attempt re-
production. To those who have had the
pleasure OF listening TO Father Hickey.
as q speaker. words of commentator
from us are unnecessary, from the fact
that we could add nothing TO the very
favorable impression which he makes
upon any audience before which he APP
pears, by his clear, logical reasoning, and
pleasant manner Of speaking.
He handled his subject in manner
which could but leave the impression
that he WAS a well-read and educated
gentleman.
We regret that we are not enabled ~
give more extended notice of the lee
ture, which served to remove, tn a con
siderable degree, the false prejudices
which s'me people hold against the Ro-
man Catholic Church.
At the close Of the lecture. which was
heartily applaudod. the follow ing pream.
bie and resolutions were unanimously
adopted
WHEKEAs, The Rev. K. NJ. Hickey has
delivered before the "Atheneum, for the
benefit OF said society and for the benefit
of the good citizens OF Eingwood and vi
cinity, very able and eloquent lecture
upon the subject. 1.-THE Philosophy OF the
Confessional" therefore,

Eject of Victor Emnnaers Death
fn France.

EHecs of Victor Emnuaers Death
in France.
PARIS, Jan. 10th.-The death of
King Victor Emanuel produced q
great sensation here. The sudden
disappearance of the patriotic pro-
moter of Italian unity creates fresh
anxiety in matters of French poll
tics. Victor Emanuel, despite
every influence brought to bear on
him, had remained the friend of
France, and notwithstanding the
cession of Savoy and Nice and the
hasty peace of Villa Franco, he
deemed himself under obligations
to France. Although Italy, made
distrustful by characterization, had
latterly formed such relations with
Germany as to pass for her docile
ally, it il known and was proved
by his recent interview with Gam
BETA that Victor Emanuel would
not, except ut the last extremity,
have acceded to any enterprise APP
parently menaclng France. His
death depriveS this country of this
moral security, based entirely OH
the Kings personal feeling, and
sffaces the last trace of
an individual gratitude which
inspired the French ma
ton with instructive confidence.
The prospect of an early conclave,
coupled with this event, exci.es
anxieties which Victor Emanuel
might have warded off, although
Piue TX has repeatedly declared
that he should live long enough to
see the King repent on his death.
The two men, it Is known, could
not help liking each other and the
King had often prevented his adj
visors from taking too seriously to
heart the attacks which the Pontiff'
took pleasure in heaping on him.
Here, too, individual good will and
respect disappear with the King
and there Is no telling how far
Italy will now be willing or able to
protect the declarations of the con.
clave. Happily the issues of the
late crisis will have served to con-
alternate the conse-
quences of the Kings death and
Liberal Italy, under whatever
sovereign. cannot regard France as
capable of cherishing hostile views
her.
The Liberal majoritles in France
and Italy will soon have dispelled
every trace of misunderstanding
and the appointment Of M. Wad-
dington as French Minister for
Foreign Affairs is peculiarly fitted
to further this undeserved accord.
Still Victor EmanuePs death
in the. existing circumstance
lustifies the painful impression it
has produced here. Irrespective OF
Frances Italian relations, it Gre
ates void in the Councils o.
which will be constantly
apparent In impending events.

parade the streets Of q particular
city, breathing threats of bread or
blood, capitalists begin to with
draw their means from active cir
culation. Building is suspended.
Men who have meditated enter.
prises which would have employed
labor begin to think it good time
to wait. We think, if the actual
money loss to the laborers of San
Francisco from Kearney's foolish
and violent speeches, could be
computed, it would be found
to have amounted already
to a million dollars. 1t
is most lamentable state
of things, and we trust that rem.
edy will be devised before the
State, not to mince one's words,
goes to the devil, and before capt.
talists, who can, have made ar
engagements to withdraw their
means from San Francisco. Dem
mis- Kearney is luxury, but, like
all luxuries, he isa very expensive
one to both the capitalist and the
laboring man. AS the San Fran
cisco Argonaut suggests, the true
remedy would be fer the million
aires of that city to have confidence
In the American working man and
go on with their public improve
msnts. But there is no law
against their meeting the bullying
of Kearney with the timidity
which has always characterized
capital; and, consequently every
thing is at present at a stand-still.
