They maintain the doctrine of consubstantiation instead of that of ‘transubstantiation. They write in moderate and pro- fessedly conciliatory language ; but it was doubted in London whether the document would exert any in- fluence in allaying the agitation which so widely pre- vails in Great Britain on the subject.

A vote of censure on the Prussian government was passed by 171 votes to 75 in the Prussian Chamber by Deputies, May 29.

Judicial posts. The bill was opposed on the ground that for some time to come Hanovarian lawyers would not be sufficiently acquainted with Prussian iaw to be fit for Prussian judges. These arguments prevailed, and tho Dill was rejected ; but notwithstanding thie Count Lippe appointed Herr Oberg to a judgeship. A motion con- demning the appointment as unconstitutional was moved by Herr Assmann, while Deputy Haaschtek moved an amendment in favor of the government. The amendment was supported by Count Lippe, but was negatived by 172 votes to 06, and then Herr Ass- motion was carried by the majority. in the House of Commons, on the 20th of May, Mr. “Faweoett's bill for amending the English Uniformity Act, #0 as to allow the admission of others than members of, he Established church to fellowship at Oxford and Cam- Dridge Universities, next came on.

Roms, May 25, 18€7. As we approach the period for which the Pope has con- voked the Catholic hierarchy of all the world to mect in the Eternal City and celebrate the eighteen hundredth anniversary of St. Peter's martyrdom, preparations of all Kinds are being more and more rapidly urged on. In the way of religious ceremonies the Pope on Sunday last imaugurated the preliminary services at the church of ‘St. John Lateran, where he repaired in state, followed ‘by @ gorgeous procession, which attracted great crowds of spectators. Similar processions are to be met with in every part of the city, and the Holy Sacrament is exposed in many of the principal churches, as well as several of the most esteemed relics, among which is that of the Holy Cradle of the Infant Saviour, which is reverentially preserved at the charch of Santa Maria Maggiore, and has been exhibited for public veneration during the last can improve the grandeur or beauty of St. Peter's; but I presume that it is a pragmatical necessity for that noble church to wear festive apparei on the present oc- casion, both in honor of the Prince of the Apostles’ centenary, and in that of the numerous Dutch, Japanese and other saints to be canonized at the same time; and, therefore, the spectator will have to look with indulgence, if not admiration, at the crimson and sxc hi f f z Hl i i tf li li | Hy i F fi if [ i i Fz.83 li g 3 2 s rx 3 g << 3 ZF oe Ey i i < ee a 4 Ss e 8 F i i 3 Py 5 F it °e i uy i if g 2 & zigzags through the int it undreds of laborers acoder night which bis ‘St. Peter's day, and in the chapel built by Tor Atty years. is customary ‘here for priste for fifty for to celebrate similar ocourrences by may log mass with the same formalities ag the first time, as married couples do in other countries after fifty years of matrimony by a golden wedding, ¢ ¢., getti a married over again. ‘The Pope is said to be resolved to say his messa novella this year; but if it is true, as has been asserted in somo of the Italian papers, that he wants two per twenty missing months, which he might very woll do according to the received adage, “Papa omnia hed It would be @ most satis(actory thing tence were to display iteelf in the extirpation of briga ‘age; but I regret to say that the band of robbers whose enuormities in the neighborhood of Civita Vecchia I nar- rated in my last letter have as succeeded in balling the el ‘of all the troops hitherto sent against them. The nature of the country favors them, and when dri out of one district, they take refuge in another. Thi they bave recently been heard of in the Viterbo, and latest accounts mention Toscaneila as their headquarters, Four of these brigands, who had strayed from the main body, have been captured, and prove to be ail Neapoli ‘which demonstrates the absurdity of the report spread by the government that the movement was a Garibaldian and not a one. or De Witten, Minister of the Interior, has proclamation extending to all the tate the exceptionally severe measures: ‘ericoli law, hitherto only applicable to the provinces of Velletri and Frosinone. These measures have induced about fifty brigands, mbabitante of those provinces, to surrender; but the Neapolitans are more distrustful and prefer carrying on their desperate trade. Now and then some chief falis a victim to a rapacity of some treacherous follower eager for the price of his head. Recently at Frosinone a sinister looking it, wrapped up ina long cloak, presented himself at the office of commissioners for the suppression of brigandage, inquiring what reward would be given for the head of a chief, and on being informed 5,' ire, he from under his cloak the ghastly, gory trophy and subsequently acted as guide to a or soldiers sent to vi where the body lay in a ravine, and showed them the head actually fitted the © principal farmers and landholders of Rome and e environs, eighty in number, bave signed an address to the prayng,, tee, basen £m tection against the brigands, and stating that er- Wise they will have to t up ir contracts and refuse paying the rents of their lands, which belong Chiefly to the Roman princes and religious corporations, The Pope is said to have been very indignant at the freedom with wich the four dep charged to pre- sent the address spoke, especially they asked for the establishment of @ national g' for their greater safety.

CITY INTELLIGENCE. Tux Wearaun,—Yesterday the weather was clear and favorable to the desigus of excursionists and pleasure seekers, The sun was peculiarly ardent in its continu- ous glow, and had the effect of bringing out the perspir- ing promenaders of our hot and dusty streets in the most airy summer dress. In the eveni ng « refreshing thunder shower broke over the city, however, cooling the heated pavements and roofs, and rendering comfortable the slumberers in even the lofty, heated attics of towering tenements, The rain fell in torrents during the early of the evening, but the excursionists had mostly re- turned to their homes in time to escape @ drenching.

Wasuixatom, June 16, 1967. The Frial of John H. Surratt. There has deen a good deal of discussion during the Past week as to the legality of the indictment of Surratt by the Grand Jury of the District, and many people ex- press the belief that when the question comes up for de- Cision the court will declare the indictment irregular for the same reason’ as that which prompted Judge Fisher to decline the empaneiling of the petit jury as altogeth er contrary to law, Should such be the effect of the legal skirmishing by the defence all the past proceedings will amount to nothing, and the whole affair will have to be gone over de novo, The prosecution do not entertain much doubt on the point, It is contended that the in- dictment is a mere parliamentary matter of form, and if there was any illegality about it the deefence have full notice of it, and should take advantage of it now, other- wise they will be estopped from raising the objection at a subsequent stage of the proceedings, The objection, therefore, must be made before the trial actually com- mences, Some discussion has also occurred respecting the point whether the present term of the crimina- court can be extended beyond the usual time, which expires at ten o'clock to-morrow. Chief Justice Cartter is assigned to the Criminal Court next term, and it is doubted whether he can proceed with the case as one continuing from another term. This difficulty will be obviated, if necessery, by having the same jury re- empanelled without the tedious questioning and cross- examination and resworn by Judge Cartter, which will only be the work of a few moments, ‘The excitement here about the tral is by no means 20 great as most people expected. Nobody seems tobe much exercised about it, though the papers are full of it, The courtroom is not crammed every day, and the bulk of those present daily as spectators are negroes. Surratt is regularly taken to and from the court every morning and afternoon, but attracts only a small share of attention. While in court he sits quietly looking on and attentively listening to the proceedings. Few people trouble him much with their gaze. One glance seems to satisfy most spectators. The prisoner generally occupies a seat behind his counsel, with whom he frequently converses in a low tone and in @ way that shows no sign of agitation. He often smiles while in conversation; but when not thus en- gaged he displays a thoughtful countenance, though whether this Is the effect of deep brooding over his case or his habitual expression is not easily discoverable by his general appearance. Since the appearance of my despatch relating to the confeesion of Payne it has been doubted that such a paper is in existence, There is no doubt, however, that @ paper purporting to be a confession of Lewis Payne is in the possession of the prosecution, and will bo intro- duced on the trial should the exigencies of the case de- mand it. It throws light on many points that have hitherto been enveloped in mystery, and is sald to be fatal to Surratt’s theory of complicity merely in an abduction conspiracy, and not in the assassination plot, It also corroborates the testimony of Lewis Weichman in the essential portions: at New York.
