Mr. Gwin made 4 brief statement in allusion to a state- ment by Mr. Hale, late Se nator, and denied that any out- side influence had operated on the Naval Committee, to induce an-extra appropriation for the officers, seamen, and warines serving on the Pacific coast. UNITED STATES STOCKS HELD IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. Mr. Bropuran called up his resolution requesting the Secretary of the Treasury to furnish the Senate, at the commencement of the next session, a statement showing the entire amount of United States stocks and bonds of of all kinds, heldabroad. He said the information could he obtained by the Secretary addressing circulars to the governors of States, presidents of railroads, and othe ‘Compenies, and officers of municipal corporations. He said he account current of the United States for the last Gacal year with foreign countries will stand thus :—Ex- ess of imports over the exports of the fort: ; interest, annually. payable to focctguea sa tho stocks, etc , held by them, eighteen millions ; expendi- tare of travellers, five millions; navy. war, and diplo- ‘macy, three milhons; instalment to Moxico. three ions ; remittances to Ireland, five millions ;— making 2 total of seventy-four millions of dol- lars.

TARDOX IN PRISON—COMTEMPLATED RESIGNA- | TION OF THE STATE ENGINEER—RAILWAY CON- SOLIDATION, ETC. SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF TH# NEW YORK HERALD. Aunany, April 4—10 P. M. ‘Mr. Tarbox, the man convicted of attempting to bribe ‘a member of the Assembly, is in prison, and likely to re- main there until the adjournment. Mr. McAlpin’s resignation as State Engineer will be sent to the Governor soon after the adjournment of the Legirlature. He is to be Vice President and Chief Exgi- peer of the Erie Railroad, at an exorbitant salary. Col. Behlater, cf the Ogdensburg Reilread, has been here a week lobbying for Mr. McAlpin’s place. There is ro truth in the report that Postmastors at ‘Bwison and Poughkeepsie have been appointed. A gen- tleman, direct from Washington, states that no further ‘appointments for this State will’ be made under two or three weeks. The Railway Consolidation bill was signod by the Go- vernor on Saturday evening. ? NEW YORK LEGISLATURE. Renate, Axpany, April 4, 1853. ‘TUR NEW YORK MARUOR MASTERS, Mr. McMorray reported adversely to increasing the Haxbor Masters of New York. Laid on the table, NEW BENEVOLENT SOCIETY. Mr. MorGAN reported favorably on the Caulkers’ an Shipwrights’ Benevolent Association bill. THE NEW PARK, “The Joes Park bill was received and referred to the Senators from New York. BILLA PASSED. The bill to educate common school pasacd. Severa! private bills were passed. The Senste then went into committee of the whole on ‘THE BILL YOR THE RELIEF OF THE PRSION INSPRETORS. Mr. Concer, (dem.) defended the Inspectors, and urged that the charges made against them were unfounded. ‘Mr. Taper, (whig) pointed to the fact that the State ‘was now called upon to appropriate $80,000 to make good doficiencies in the management, of this prison. The in: Wertigation was got up on the call, and at the request, of ineut baroburners. The Inspectors being hunkers, a teachers was | destitute, the appropriation shoul — — any private citizen. He moved to strike out the enacting lause. "Mr. Hasmmca, (whig) of Monroe, sald i was well known the treasury was not full to supply the {| demands ape institutions were | but mea; sustained. Under thi i tances eae Injaiefou r these cireums' it 8 to make a precedent hb ior bern ah =i P yobs might here- ir. Case, (dem.) of Onondaga it the Sti better pay its just debts before itm: peatoan eee travagant expenditures. ‘Those whe had labored on our | public works are in need of their pay, and their drafts on the treasury are dishonored. He would, in his private business, first pay his just debts before he spent mone; uselensly. If $5,000 was to be appropriated at all it should be given to Gen. Worth’s farily. Mr. J. Rose, (dem.) of N.Y. was always an advocate for economy, but the proposition before the House was one of simple justice to one of our most eminent mili men, whore career had been equally honorable and useftit tothe country. The amount called for waa mall, and the great State of New Yerk should not on'y give this token of its gratitude for tho services of Gen. Worth, but it ought to do mere, and erect monuments to others of ita glorious benefactors, Tt would bring odtum upon the tate to parsimoniously refuse this appropriation. It was an insult to the people of the State to suppose they would object to the light taxation this would occasion Gen. Worth’s family were not able to rect a monumont from their own means, Mr. L. Oscoop, (der.) of Chenango, saw no reason for throwing away $5,000 Gen, Worth’s’ reputation would not be increased by this monument; his memory would be perpetuated longer by his deeds than by any monu- ments that can be erected. Mr. B. Surrm, (dem.) cf St, Lawrence, called the at- tenticn of the House to tho fact that small appropriations at times form a precedent for enormous expenditures, and he saw reason to suppose this instance was one of them. Mr. Pxrxns thought if the family of Gen. Worth were 2. be for thle beneht-— but this proposition was literally giving thom a stone when they needed bread. He did not. belleve in oreoting monuments to military men. Gen. Worth had boon re: warded for his rervices by the high distinction he hai at. tained. It would be better to erect monuments to those famous as the more useful benefactors of their race by their wise civil polie: Mr. Hurcuiss, (dem) of Kings, hoped the House would not prove itrelf td be as poor in gratitude as its treasury was in means. Mr. Cnanmerraix, (dem ) of Columbia, trusted the en- seting clause of the bill would not be struck out. Mr. CLarp, (whig) of Erie, said his sense of the grati- tude due from the State to ove of its sons, who had fallen in the defence of his country, was not of that kind which would withhold a paltry appropriation for a stone to indicate the xpot where the hero was buried, Mr. Howey, (whig) of Niagara, knew there were some who were constantly depreciating the credit ani the honor of the State—attempting to prove that it was bankrupt. It was disgraceful to those in high positions to moan over the poverty of the State. It is not poor, and they cannot make it so. Gen, Worth was a native of this State, and it was a debt of gratitude to that soldier for his long life of eminent services. We are told his fa. mily is poor. This may well be so, for in serving his country he had no opportunity to hoard up wealth for his family. For gold tho sailor ploughs the main, ‘The farmer ploughs the manor; But glory is the soldier's gain— The soldier's wealth onor. Mr. H. knew it was not necessary to the memory of General Worth that a monument should be ereoted over his remains; but to erect it was necessary to save the State from disgrace. On its own account, and not on his, the State should pay this debt of gratitude No marble however expensive, can adi anything to the fame of General Worth, but it will reflect honor on us. And while this subject was up, it might be proper to move an addi- tional appropriation of $6,000 for another gallant General of this State, whose remains had long lain without a mo- nument on the banks of the Mohawk. He alluded to Gen. Herkimer, who fell at Oriskany in defence of his country, at a dark period of our history. Mr. Parmns withdrew his amendment. Mr. Cuampun (dem ) of Allegany, would renew it to make a single remark. The constitution required that no bill for a local object should include more than one subject, and the amendment ef Mr. Houxy might de- feat the bill. Mr. Horssy withdrew his amendment. Mr. Hasnxos ¢aw, when the bill was introduced, that it would create difficulty. There were men in the House who desired to bring the oxpenditures of the State with. in its means, and he was glad of it. At the outset all had agreed to ecooomise and bring down expenditures to the measure of resources. But now there seems to be some who are willing to lavish the means of the State to prove how benevolent and patriotic they are. Any ap- propriation that wiil brig them a revenue of glory they eloquently defend. Gen. Worth served the country at large, and if a monument is erected to his memory it should be done by the States at large. It is time to talk about State gratitude when it is proposed to erect monu- ments to those who have rende istinguished services to our own State. Let all the States unite in the honor of erceting & monument to Gen Warth, for all are equally ander obligations to him. Our State charitable institutions are avking for aid to accommodate those who need their assistance, and we must reject their do- mands becaure we are told the people will not bear a greater welght of taxation than is mow imposed upon them, end there is no other way of raising the means. Mr.’ Casx said Daniel D. Tompkins had conferred a Greater benefit upon the State and the country than Gen, ‘orth, but no monument had been erected to his memory. So of many other eminent citizens of this State. Thea why is this case specially singled out for our charity? If we begin with one we must erect monuments to all. ‘Those men who are ro eloquent about, philanthropy and patriotism in this and other cases of the kind, will be ually as eloquent and patriotic in behalf of the poor rer, by opposing the necessary bill to raise the money by taxation which they so unjustly advocate the appro- priation of. Mr. Loomis, (dem.) of Herkimer, said the names of many worthy citizens, in civiland military life, wore in the memory of all, who had no monument erected to their honor, except those who rest in the grateful memory of the peoyle. Yielding to no one in admiration of those who deserve well of their country, he could not consent to opening the door to so large an oxpenditure as must follow the passage of this bill. He regretted it had been introduced; he could not sustain ié, and he disliked to vote against it. He would move to rire and report pro- gress on the bill, and there let it drop, by being neither passed nor formerly defeated. Carried, by 41 to 38. In the House progress was reported on the bill, and leave to sit again was denied, by 23 to 63. Mr. Loonis moyed to lay the entire subject on the table. Lost, by 42 to 77. Mr. Huxpxx moved that the bill be ordered to a third reading. Carried. BILLS ORDERED TO A THIRD READING. Mr. CHasprin moved that the bill for the relief of the heirs of William Griffin be ordered to a third reading, which was done and the bill passed. On motion of Mr. Temptx, the bill for the relief of Lydia Hardin was ordored to a third reading and passed. Mr. Cook called up a Senate resolution roquiring the Secretary of State to have the various laws regarding tho maintenance of ‘the poor cellected und published in pam- plet form, for the use of the superintendents of the poor. QUESTION OF PRIVILEGR—THE TARBOX CASE, Mr. D. Gnaony, (dem.) of Oneida, rore to a question of privilege. flehad boon represented as having offered a resolution censuring Mr. Stewart for his course in tam- vering with My, Tarbox. Hehad offered no such resolu- Hon, being absent,from the Houze at the: time. Instead of offering the :ezolution, ho fully concurred in the ac- tion taken by the House on the subject. LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES. On motion of Mr. R. Suri the bill to provide for the Incorporation of life insurance companies, and in relation to agencics of such companies, was read a third time and assed, PAA receas was then taken. s ‘ The Gardner Case. Wasnincren, April 4, 1863. In the Gardner case, to-day, Augustus J. Keese testi- fled to having served notice on Gardner that the Prosi- dent was about to send a agent to Mexico, and propo- sing, if he thought proper, to send a person to point out his mine, avd pay all expenses; also submitting two other propositions, if this was not acceptable. Gardner do clined every proposition, on the ground that two commis- stoners had previously expressed th» opinion that the mine was a fraud. Augustin De Aguilar, a Mexican law yor, judge, &c., at San Luis Potosi, testified that the sig- natures of De Los Reges, Guzman, and Fernandi, upon Gardner's mining title, were forgeries. He also identi fled a copy of the mining laws of Mexico, and gave a va- riety of sformation relative to the laws and usages of Boronh trial was had, and tho Inspectors. probably Owed their safety to the clemency of a whig Governor. who did not choose to bave his motives misrepresents by the remoral of two demoerstic Lnepectors just prior to a@great State election. If the principle of this bill is aancticnes by the State, the next thing will be to pay the New York Common’ Connell the charges of thelt ut- tacked innocence. Mr. CONGER attacked the procedure of investigation as having been conducted without opportunity to the ac- eused to be heard fully and thoroughly in their defence. They were arraigned without causo, and the real errors, if any exint, weie perpetrated by @ ‘ormar Board of Com: mistlouers. ‘A long debate ensued, growing one of a proposed amendment to pay Judge Humphreys for his services in holding the investigation. The committee roported progress. MR. SEARS’ CLAIM BILL. The same committee took up the Eliphalet Seara elaim bill pending which the recess was taken at4 P.M Assembly. Aunayy, April 3, 1853, ‘THE TARBOX BRINERY CASE. Me. Burner moved a suspension of the rules, to take up the motion to reconsider the Tarbox imprisonment reso- lution. Lost, 4 to 30—not two thirds.

Worth in Greenwood Cemetery was taken up committee of the whole Me. wi of Geneses, saw no more reason for thie ion for one to erect & monument to that country. Railroad Accidents, MAN KILLED NEAR GREENSBURG, PA. Prrrepura, April 4, 1853, Yosterday morning, at Rodebaugh’s station, near Greensburg, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, Mr. Rodo- baugh was standing on the road, when a locomotive came up and struck him, throwing him six feet off the rond. His back was broken, aad he sustained other tnjuries, cauring instant death. DISASTER ON THE RICHMOND AND PETERSBURG ROAD. Barmmmors, April 4, 1853.

The committee have been unable to ascertain the value of the imports of manufac- tured goods into the province, but express their con- viction that it amounts to a considerable sum, and so greatly exceeds the exporta to this country as to cousti- tute a disadvantegeous and adverse trade. The committee also report, that they have examined manufacturers established at Halifax, and engaged in the manufacture of iron castings, stoves, &c., clothing and tailoring, domestic wines, syrup, cordials, hats and caps, roap, boots and shoes, furniture, pails and buckets, and marble, who severally complain of the ruinous effeots of the low rates of dutier, and who are sanguine that were they protected from foreign competition, and secured in the enjoyment of the home market, they would be able to supply the domestic market with thore articles at as cheap arate as they canbe imported from abroad, in which opinion the committee concur ; and, further, that were it not for the protective policy of the United States, the colonists, to ® considerable extent, could supply the American market. A considerable portion of the report is devoted to the consideration of the injurious results that accrue to the province from this state of things—the want of employ- ment which is thus created, and the extensive emigration of the more youthful and active portion of the communi- ty. The committee claim for ita artificers, that as this republie has shut its mark against them and their eeeaetions, our manufacturers should not be sllowed to interfere with them in their own market. ‘'If,”’ aay tho committee, ‘‘ the United States would take off their du- ties, we should not seek for protection; but so long as they refuse to purchase from us, self defence requires that we should abstain from purchasing from them.’’ : We do not entirely concur with the reasoning and de- ductions of the chairman of the committee, who seems to have overloeked the fact, that the large amountof bread- stuffs imported from the United States were the produc: tion of Canada, which should have reached the province by the direct route of the St. Lawrence—a most conclusive evidence, that its inbabitants are not prepared to avail themselves of the advantages they already possess. The committee observe, that ‘while intending protec- tion to other classes, they woukl not omit to recommend the fishermen to the especial care of the Legislature. Nothing is required to recuit the numbers of that invalu- able class of subjects, and to furnish them with abundant. and remurerative employment except simple and even- handed justice.~ Let the Legislature” say they, “firmly and resolutely require of Her Majesty’s ministers that protection against the encroachments cf the United States which ought long since to have been awarded. Let Her Majesty’s government be 1 peotfully informed, that in return for that allegiance so rfully yielded to the sovereignty of the Queen, her colonial subjects are entitled to be protected by the parent State against the invasion of their property by a foreign power, and when the fisheries are rescued from foreign intrusion, thousands of British seamen will find profitable employment on our coastaand hecome extensive consumers of the produc: tions of agriculture and the arts.’” ‘After alluding to the laxity which evidently prevails in the collection of the revenue throughout the whim which even the low rate of duty is considerably reduced, the report concludes with the following table of those which at present exist in Nova Scotia and New Bruns- wick, those which it is recommended to ievy, and those exected in the United pt — Tarif 9 U.S. of Nowe Noo!

Trade Between Eastern and Western Cities. [From the Chicago Democrat, March 30.] It is an itom of great importance to the cities of the Atlantic coast to know which of the three, Philadelphia, New York or Boston, shall socure tho mercantile interests of the thriving and increasing cities of the West. This is a source of rivalry to thore cities, and naturally oreates a great deal of jealousy among them. ‘New York has undonbtedly shared largest in the bene- fits of Western trade thus far, and a prospect for a differ- ent result would be met by that city with continued resistance. ‘The proposed “ Air Line’ communication with Phila- delphia would meet uncompromising contest from New York, where it nor that almost simultaneously with that connection, the mercantile tactician and interested ope. rators of New York will have a direct road comploted from their city to Harrisburg, thereby rendering them able to engage in the future contest with quite ax favo- rable prospects as they now énjey. Poston would, perhaps, be considered too far away, were it not for some advantages that her eapitali , ress, that rendor her able to compete against thi tance. The circumstances which are strongly in bi vor are her commercial vigor, and the fret that her monded men aze large stockholders in many of the lines of transportation connecting with the West and North- wert. Sho is not by any means considered an inconside rable rival by the other cities in the mercantile compe tition. But the general impression that New York is now in the advance, naturally fosters the impression that with her knperior advantages she will be most likely to attain and hold a permanent supremacy in this respect.

Davenport as Chief Justice for New Mexico, vice Judge: Maker, removed. This nomination led to an interesting end important discussion upon the power of the Preai- dent to remove from office a federal’ Judge in the Territo- ries. ‘This, however, bas long been doubted. It is not derived from the constitution, nor de the laws creating. these Judges confer the power in express terms.

The removal ot Judge Baker on: this occasion is the first instance of the kind which has occurred in the history of our government.

EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER, DE CORN — HIS STATEMENT O¥ THE AFFAIR. Before Coroner Hilton. Yesterday afternoon the Coroner examined Louis De Corn, who stands charged with the murder of Eugene Melville, by shooting him witit a pistol, on the morning of the 81st ultimo, at the premises, No 308 Greenwich street. The Coroner informed the privoner that he was going to examine him, in accordance witl law, on the charge of wilfully taking the life of Eugene Melville; and that he was at liberty to answer or decline to anawer any question that might be put to him. The prisoner bowed hi sweredas follow: Q.—What is your name? A.—Louis De Corn, Q—Where were you born? A.—In Martinique, West Indies. Q—Wheze do you’ resider —At No. 308 Greenwich street. Q.—What ir your occupation? A.—1 am a’ physigian, but now engaged in mereantile business. Q.—Have you anything to say, andif so, what, in rela tion to the’ charge here prelerred ugainst you: vix “That Fugene Melville came to his death by a pistol shot wilfully fixed at him by Lous De Corn March 31st, 1853." A.—I shot him in defence of my life. I understood he was a madman aud he wanted to kill me. As the above was all the prisoner wished to say at present ine the affair, Coroner Hilton fully committed im to privon to await’ trial. During the examination the prisoner was attended by his counsel, Messrs. Larooque and Barlow, Mr. Giraud, the prisoner’s partner in business, was alxo present. Af- ter the examination, De Corn appeared quite cheerful, conversed freely with his counsel for a short time, and was then conyeyed back to his lonely cell in the Tombs. acknowledgements, and an- New York Horticultural Society. The regular monthly mecting of this sosiety was held Inst evening, at the Stuyvesant Institute, W. C. H, Wad- dell presiding, and Peter B. Mead officiating.as secretary. The attendance was not very numerous, but a great deal of interest was manifested in the proceedings. Among the floral beauties exhibited were some remarkably fine cemelias, a large number of monthly roses, a cactus, a hibircus, azaleas, cinerarias, verbenas, pansies, gerani ums, stookgillies, and bouquets. The meoting was called to order about. eight o’oleck. after which the minutes of tke previous meeting were read. and the usual prelimi- nary business transacted. The Executive Committee re- ported, in accordance with previous instructions, that they had duly considered the propriety of publishing the circular of the society. and’that they had authorized the Recording Secretary to have five hundred copies printed. ‘The report was adopted without debate. The Secretary read a communication, announcing the death of Mr. Wm. Neale, who was formerly an astive member. ‘Iwo new members were proposed snd elected The Room Com- mittee reported that they had engaged one of the rooms on the third floor of the Stuyvesant Institute, at a rent of two hundred dollars. A’ brief debate followed, on a motion to adopt the report, when it was finally put to the vote and lost. It was then decided to refer the subject back to the Committee; but here a new difficulty arose by the rofusal of one of the members to participate any further im the action of the Committeo. His resignation was accepted, after considerable opposition on the part of the majority of the members. The greater part of the time of the meeting was consumed in a discussion as to the accommodations and inconveniences of the room en- gaged by the Committee, the opinion of the majority being decidedly unfavorable to it. There being no fur- ther business before the meeting, it adjoumed till the first Monday in May. Marine Affairs.

Father Gavarzi’s Fifth Lecture, ° Father Gavarzi delivered his fifth lecture in the ' Broad way Tabernacle last evening, before a pretty lwrg ’ audi- ence. Onhis appearance he was muchapplwuded © He begged pardon of his audience fora mistake which had appeared in a portion of the public press, mention ‘ing 73g o'clock as the hour of his lecture, when-it was a Od would be 8 o'clock precisely. The subject of thiseva ing, he said, is the temporal powers of the Pope, espa cially that which is called Popedom, or the Kingdom ai 7 the Pope; and as the matter is very large, so'T shall only prove this evening this temporal power of the Pope ta practice as the peculiar prince of the Roman States; snd, with the blessing of God, on Friday I shall speak of the temporal power of the Pope, considered under the aspect of temporal supremacy at large, with the. canon law. Om Friday, I say, I shall speak on the subject of the Papal intolerance. Father Gavazzi then deliver- ed an address, as usual, in the Italien after which he proceeded with hia lecture: in English ‘The Pope is king—is king—with power, splendor, gram- deur, anda royal court. He is a king; but the question in, is he a lawful king? Yer—tho temporal power of the Pope, ia it scriptural? The answer is rather difMbult one,’ We find in the Gospel. Christ preaching before Pi- My Kingdom is not of this word"? Bot a Jeeuit, Cardinal Bellarmino, once said that Cltist answered in'that way because he was dying, and that, being +o near ashe was to death, really and: justly-am- awered, “My kingdom ix not of thix world; because Bam going to my father, and therefore my kingdom is of ‘am- Cther world—of lasting world.” answer ism very astute a: very Jesuitical answer; but [ have the honor to sey that Christ was not a Jesuit Cughter), and therefore Christ, when he said, “Iam the way the life,” spoke the truth. Christ was not the inventor of the ‘mental reservation, and therefore when: Christ said, “My kingdom is not of this world,” the words of Christ mean that really in this world he never hada kingdom: becanse if he were dying—very well! whena man possesses really a kingdom, even when he is dy- ing, he transmits his possession to hia sons or heirs; and if Christ posseseed a kingdom really, he would ‘have left the possession to Peter as his vicar on earth, and from Peter to all successors of Peter—viz., he would have left bis kit tothe Pope. But Christ said, “My kingdom is not of this world ;” therefore I shall maintain that really Christ never had any kingdom, and never will have a kingdom, because he was the master of all ki and, therefore, if he chose to live oaly humble ant poor and with thorns, it is a sign that he was very, fat from having principality and kingdom, and, according to the Word of God, we find in the New Testament all but the temporal power of the Vope. St. Paul said clearly that any one who is engaged with the things of God cannot follow temporal affairs. And according to this we bave the theory of Christ, ‘Give to Cwear the things of Omsar,’” and the practice of the primitive Christians, according to Paul, was, ‘Pray for all magistrates, acd governors, id princes, and kings.’’ Therefore, in the primitive times of Christianity we have no temporal power of the Pope. More and more, according to the beok of God, we find that Christ said—in order to quote the authority very well to answer my old Roman Catholic beethren, se that they may not be mistaken on this point, I have with me my very little friend, the good and faithful New Tea- tament—and I find in Luke, 224 chapter and 15th verse, “Then he said unto them, the kings of the Gentiles exercixo lordship over thee, and they who oxereise authority over them are called benefactors; but it shall not be 60, but he who is great among you let him be as the younger, and he who is chief ashe who doth sorve.’* Now, this text excludes entirely any principality or royal- ¥%. among the Apostles, and, therefore, accoi wre he a ‘ord of God, we have no temporal power trifn: tea to the present Pope—Pope Pins IX. at Rome; and, fore, we can arrive at the first conclusion, that the tem- peral pewer of the Pope is really unscriptural But if this temporal power does not come from God, from whom does It come? Hear me. Satan once appeared. to our Divine Savior, and said unto him, “If yoa will kneel be- fore me, I shall give you all the kingdoms of the earth;? and Christ answered, “Go away, Satan, (laughter) for it la wriiten, you shall worship only your God, who is in Hea- ven.” 'We find at present that the snocessor of Peter— so called—and the viear of Christ, enjoys Prinelpality and is really aking. Whatsign is that? That he knelt be- fore Satan. (Applaure.) If Christ never did grant any kingdom to the Pope, and if Satan promised kingdoms to Christ if he should worship him, therefore, when the sue- cessor of Christ, sa called, possesses andenjoys a itisa sign that he knelt before Satan, ape Reece ood sign, my dear brethren, for the temporal power of the Pope.’ The Pope is the spiritual head of the churob, and he enjoys the title of universal bishop from a mur- dererer, the Fmperor Foetius—and he enjoys the name of patrontis in temporalitus from a weurper, Pepin of the great robber of the French kingdom. So that you Lave the two supporters of papacy and popedom—o mus- derer and a robber. History deposea to the same. We Charlemagne, also, who granted some principalities to the Pope in Italy, but for two purposes: first, to maine tin Italy divided; becauso, he said, until the Pope exist Italy will not be safe, but the Pope will retain alwaya the possession of the principality which I grant at Pre sent, and therefore Italy will never more be ttaly. second end of Charlemagne was to make of Italy = province of France, to defend the kingdom and empire of France by means of Italian arms and Italian hearts. So that we have the Pope, in the time of Charlo reat vassal of the French empire. After that ‘period fave, day after day, the Pope incressing his ‘temporal kingdom. The Countess Matilda Tuseany dying, left to bim all her dominion Tureany. I will say, this evening, a word nl the Food man, Gregory Seventh, who prescribed calebacy to the Roman Catholic clergy. His oer og ‘and bishops, say that this woman, the Countess was in lave with Pope Gregory Seventh—but all spiritual my friends. (Lavghter.) And, ao to her apirit- ual Joye, she abandoned her second hual and came to Gregory, to Rome, in order to be near to her spiritual lover, (laughter,) and, dying, the Counters in order to prove her love to be a truly spiritual one, left to Poye Gregory Seventh all hor ear asions in Tuscany; so that those possessions which did not belong to her, she left to Gregory Seventh, to prove to the whole world im future that she loved—but loved spiritually—tho Pope of Rome, Father Gavazzi proceeded to describe the ter- rible misgovernment of the Papal States, and the want of progress and improvement in all material affairs for which the Roman States are remarkable. In conclusion he adverted to the probability of America being soom blessed with a cardinal, a rank which proved to be a seca- jor, not a religious and extracts from the oath prescribed to the cardinals, to show that they are spies and inquisitors.
