Nearly all the journals have editorial articles ‘on the subject this morning. The London Times says:—The Commons have re- Solved that this cancer of the empire (the frish Church) shall be removed. The rejection of. Lord Stanley's amendment, to postpone consideration until the next Parliament, and the adoption of Mr. Gladstone’s resolution to go into Committee are merely the first steps of the operation. The national will is soon to be expressed and it will be in no uncertain sound. It will insist ‘that the work so happily begun shall be thoroughly Performed. This morning's vote is the dawn of a re- united empire. Now Ireland may take confidence from this vote that she is sustained by the vast bal- ance of opinion of the United Kingdom. The wrongs of ages are to be ended and right done amid the ac- clamation of the nation, This must guarantee peace, The London Post concludesa very able article with ¢he following words:—This vote is the death war- rant of the Irish Church. No fairer trophy has been won by the Liberal party since the Emancipation act of 1829, The London Standard says:—The effect of this Vote will be to waste the session without advancing the object proposed one single step.

WasHINGTON, April 4, 1868. The Rights of Naturalized Citizens Abroad. The President to-day sent to the House of Repre- sentatives a reply to a resolution on a report from the Secretary of State in relation to the negotiations and treaties had ormade with any of the German States since the first of January last relating to the rights of naturalized citizens. In one of the letters from Mr. Bancroft, January 20, he says:—‘‘Count Bismarck in- forms me that the British government has inquired of him as to the answer of the Prussian government on the subject of naturalization, In reply he informed them of the intention of this govern- ment to come to an understanding with that of America, according to request.” The remarks of Count Bismarck implied that the British government is inclined to follow the example of Prussia, and that the settlement of the question here will be, virtually, a settlement for Great Britain. Mr. Sew- ard to Mr, Bancroft, February 18, says :—‘‘I have informally suggested to the British Minister here that a proceeding ina form of mutual or common legislation in the two countries would be more sim- Ple and probably easier than a formal negotiation in the naturalization laws existing between the United States and those of the two governments respect- ively, inasmuch as there are so many other questions which urgently require settlement be- tween the United States and Great Britain, besidea that of the conflicting naturalization laws.” The documents include @ copy of the treaty recently concluded betwaen the United States and the North German Confederation. Mr. Bancroft in explaining tite history of the negotiation says:—“On the question of the right of expatriation, there arose no discussion; it is recognized by the laws of both countries. On the question of resi- dence as @ condition of naturalization which the mother country should respect, there existed no dif- ference; the time of residence was a point of more delicacy. The Prussian law required an absence of ten years; ours, a residence of five, With liberality and frankness Count Bismarck declared himself will- ing to accept the American rule as it had received the sanction of the qdministration of Washington, and had become fixed by the usage of more than three score years and ten.” Mr. Bancroft says:— Should the United States see fit for its own pur- gee as lately in the act of July 17, 1862, to concede he naturalization on a shorter residence, their right to do so is not impaired; but the meaning of this treaty is that they will not ask North Germany to re- cognize such naturalization till the adopted citizen shall have completed the term of residence now re- quired by their normal laws.

The Capitol belonged to the nation, and arrangements had been made to allow represen- tatives from all parts of the nation to be here as wit- nesses; he did not antes any disorder, but did anticipate noise that would disturb the proceedings if this rule were rescinded, MOBRILL, of Me. would object to the change. pulace around the Capitol would exclude peo- Ple from abroad. Mr. Davis interrupted to offer an amendment, as follows, to come at the end of the order:— ‘That when there may be white persons present at the door of the galieryend colored persons may have seats in the gal- lery, it shail be the duty of the officer to unseat and remove from the gallery such seated colored persons and assign their seats to auch while persons aa) may not bare seats, (Great rr. Mr. MORRILL, of Me. (to Mr. Davis)—Do you mean to offer that amendment now? Mr. Davis—I want you to offer it. (Laughter.) Mr. MORRILL proceeded to argue against the change, saying that it was useless to attempt to popularize this trial, when Mr. TRUMBULL remarked that if the Senator was deiermined to occupy the whole hour before twelve o’clock there was no way to prevent it. Mr. MORRILL said:—I do not know of any way on earth to prevent it, so the Senator may possess his soul with patience; and he went on to praise the present rule as reasonable and equitable, Mr. CONKLING asked which proposition the Sena- tor was endeavoring to postpone; this or the one that stands behind iw? Mr. Morri.. offered to give way for the other proposition if it would be taken. After further discussion, at twelve o'clock the chair was vacated for the Chief Justice, and the Senate assumed the functions of a Court of Impeach- ment for the trial of the Presidente House of Representatives.

He stated t ”, an adjournment to that the Managers wi ave an opportunity of di bringing before the House any proposition they might desire to submit.

Mr. BLAINE, a ale Me., opposed the motiom to adjourn over, giving as a reason that many members desired to make speeches as in Committee of the Whole; and as there would be a great press of busl- ness after the conclusion of the impeachment trial he thought it would be well to allow the speeches to be made on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The SPEAKER stat that, 80 far as he had any knowledge, there were only three members now de- siring to make speeches on genera) subjects, Mr. Ross, (dem.) of Ill, inquired why speeches could not be made as in the Committee of the Whole during the proceedings on im, hment? ‘The SPEAKER replied that the reason was because the House had by resolution ordered that it would attend the Managers of Impeachment at the bar of the Senate. Mr. Scorie.p, (rep.) of Pa., asked the Speaker whether there was anything in the constitution to prevent members making their speeches to them- selves in their own room? ‘The SPEAKER Was not aware of any such constitu- tional objection. ?

Pas- chal, of the Bar of the Supreme Court of the United States. Washington, D. 0.: W. H. & O. H. Morri- son. 1868. 12 mo, pp. 407. At the present time, when the rights of the people and the powers of the government under the consti- tution are the subject of earnest discussion every- where—at every fireside and in every public place— it is scarcely possible to overstate the value and usefulness of this little manual. It should be in the hands of all who desire rightly to know what the Constitution is and to understand from its source the true character of our political system. Within the compact pages of this little volume may be found the substance of what has been sald by all the authorities on thé constitution in definition or illus- tration of all its doctrines and of every phrase; and ‘the whole so well and scourstely that he who knows only a aingle im) ft the phrase as to which he is in doubt mag find the authorities in a moment. Fully one-quarter of the volume is taken up with the index, while inanother sense the whole volume is an index, giving such a8 wish to pursue the subjects touched more a large ample to decisions and every other au- thority. The book is a valuable contribution te our constitutional law literature—a Literature towards which the national mind seems to tend, and in which it is more inclined to be active than in those r labors of the intellect in which others boast their superiority over us. THE ELEMENTS OF PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE. A text-book for educational institutions. By Thos, H. Huxley, LL. D., F. R. 5., and Wm. J, Youmans, Illustrated. New York: D. Appleton & Co. It is a good sign for education—such as it should be— when 80 good a book on physiology and hygiene as this is made for use in schools. Every fact of phy- slology that it is desirable should be generally known is given in the first part of this volume, in a form and style at once adapted to attract, interest and im- press. The chapters on hygiene are admirably fitted to diffuse proper ideas on their very important sub- jects. Persons who got out of school before books ike this came into use will find this volume a most profitable study with regard to general culture, SOONER OR LATER. BY SHIRLEY BROOKS. New York: Harper & Brothers. This book must be regarded as an average novel of the modern type. Asa heartless view of a very heartless world it may escape unfavorable criticism, but as a story wherein there 13 much of either morals or merit it is not very commendable. The plot, such as it is, weaves its thread very skilfully through the . pages, showing a hand accustomed to handling the reins of fiction. There is little purpose in the book except the passing amusement of perusing a few good scenes, descriptive of certain phases of human nature, not always agrecable because they represent the worse: part of it, but withal forcibly drawn. Although essentially a story of London club life, there is too much club slang introduced, and altogether a superfuity of club scenes and ‘con- versations, very attractive perhaps to the indi- viduals represented—for there is an indi- viduality about many of the characters not to be mistaken—but to the general reader this blemish in the book is insufferable. The ‘ Dorcas Society,’ too, is fairly done to death, and without a single feature of novelty introduced, ‘Dorcas’? and its scandal mongering are so hackneyed that an author who touches that subj-ct should possess a marvellous power of invention to freshen it up, and this the writer has not exercised to an extent which could reclaim half a dozen ge end from absolute stupidity and vapidness. Upon the whole, there is little to be Tearned from this book even concerning that class of society within whose circumscribed limits the plan of the story ts confined. The morality of its incidents unfortunately represents more fact than fiction; but for this, of course, the author is not responsible. The faithful delineator must paint nature as he finds it, and that there are a great many spots on tie sun of London society it requires no novelist to tell us. MUSICAL REVIEW. Although opera tvrettt or their translations are not, properly speaking, subjects of musical review, yet in the case of Offenbach, where the sparkling music and witty dialogue are in such close rapport, it is necessary to say something of the libretto, in addition to what we have said of the music. The music is interwoven with the dialogue, characters and situations in such a manner that it cannot be separated from them without destroying its peculiar attractive quality. Hence there is scarcely an air from. any of Offenbach’s operas which can meet with success in the concert room. The libretto of “La Belle Héléne” abounds in puns and jokes and play upon words which are utterly untranslatable into English or any other lan- guage than the French, and which may have a dozen different meanings. The translations of the fearful puns in the first act in Mr. Bateman’s version of “La Belle Héléne” are as near one of the meanings at least of the original as possible. The best thing Mr. Bate- man can do is to get up a huge volume, entitled “Various Readings of La Belle Héléne,” like the ditfer- ent versions of the Pentateuch or Shakspeare, to satisfy the hair splitting ideas of some writers who try to parade their limited knowledge of French on every possible occasion. At all eveats, these livretti are considerably better than the atrocioys translations of Italian operas and dramas which have been inflicted on the public. Mr. Zielinski has a very pretty little waltz called “The Cherubim, which is published by Peters. It is an unpretending work, but one which will ever claim the good will and admiration of every pianist. Oliver Ditson, Boston, and C, H. Ditson, New York, publish the following:— “Violette de Carafa, Herz.” Here is one of the most beautiful airs in Italian opera, adorned with variations which may serve as a model for our fan- tasia composers to copy after. There are seven dis- tinct variations, with a finale & la militaire; and among the myriad varied themes we have played there are none which can compare with this one. In the parlor or concert hall bom exquisite piece cannot fail to be a continual favorite. We are compelled again to postpone an extended review of the eighth book of Mendelssohn's Ree without words, which have been republished by house in very handsome style. “Chickering Waltz.” Henry Von Gndera. A work of singular construction and many clever ideas, but on the whole uninteresting and dreary. “Three to One,” bar two, racing song. Merion. ‘This is one of those London music hail cor songs: which are all the rage there among the lowe! a but we hope the American publle will entirely disc such stuf. “Bella on the Wind,” song.

The subject of slavery is pretty well worn out now, and we do not see why @ music publisher should attempt to perpetuate it now in music and verse.
