SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. ‘Queen Victoria’s Reappearance im Public— Newspaper Enterprise and Special Tele- grams—“Bull Ran” Russell Bebind the Age and in Favor of a “Slow Conch”—The Ro- mance of Crime—Disraeli’s Shadow on the Aristocracy—The Norman Blood Making Its Last Fight. Lonpon, March 21, 1868, ‘The reappearance of the Queen im public at her @vawing rooms has not occasioned anything like the popular excitement which was expected, and the Journals do not even consider the incident worth a Seading article. Her Majesty appears to be in very good health, but does not yet venture to show herself gt the theatres or in the parks or streets, It may we noted as a Sign of the times that the Lord ©hamberlain publicly announces that the court mourning for King Lonts of Bavaria ts to be modi- Sed and shortened, lest the interests of the London ‘tradespeople should suffer, ‘The leading political topic among alt classes here is the impeachment of President Johnson, and every acrap of news from America is eagerly read, The new Prime Minister, Mr. Disraeli, secured the earli- est copies of the HERALD which arrived by the last ‘mail, containing full details of the proceedings, Un- questionably the majority of Englishmen are on the wide of the President and denounce the conduct of Congress as disgraceful; but the London radical organs are firm supporters of the American radicals, and the London Times is disposed to attack the President because he seems to have the losing side. ‘The result of the New Hampshire election was tele- graphed, but not the republican majority, so that we are still completely in the dark as to the popularity of the impeachment business. The scanty telegrams in the London journals ap- pear remarkably small when compared with the col- ‘umne of special telegraphic correspondence sent to the Heratp. Even in Abyssinia the HERALD is ahead. Thore has been no later news here than the Gespatch forwarded to you several days ago and fur- nished by your London correspondent to the Times. Of ‘course the other papers, which were not thus favored, fat once criticised the HERALD's telegram; but since ‘then it has been corroborated {n all essential particn- Jars and the journals have had to eat their own ‘words, Apropos, Mr. Cyrus W. Field gave a dinner on ‘Tuesday last to a number of persons connected with telegraphy, and Mr. “Bull Run” Russell made a ch, in which he lamented the decline of mail cor- pondence, but asserted that, after all, the tele. pli gave only the skeletons of the news, If Mr. ussell had looked over @ NEw YORK HERALD he ‘would have found correspondence as complete and Getailed as any he ever wrote by mail, now tele- graphed exciusively for this newspaper.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERAL. Papal Appeals te the Sword of St. Peter—Can- dition of the Pope’s Army-rWhat Docs Pius the Ninth Aim At?—Beurbon Intrigues: Against Italian Democracy—Napoleon’s Policy Puzzling the Clergy—Royal Aid Fall- ing Of—England in Bad Odor—The Coming Rome, March 16, 1968. The Roman pontiff, in their constant struggles to defend St. Peter’s patrimony against the encroach- ments of powerful neighbors and to guell the revo- lutionary outbreaks of their stubborn flock, have ever built great faith upon the holy text of pike and gun. Nor, even in spiritual matters, have they at any time hesitated to employ cold steel as a fitting substitute for the sword of the spirit. Pius IX. is not surpassed by the moat belligerent of his predeces- sors in his reverence for infallible artillery, and since Mentana has been deeply impressed by the powerful orthodoxy of breech-loadera. It has been deter- mined, therefore, to arm the militia of the Vicegerent on earth of the Prince of Peace with the latest. im- Proved form of this destructiveengine. Nevertheless, the Chassepot, which, to use General De Fallly’s ex- pression, worked suck marvels at Mentana, is not the favored weapon. It was once suggested that the addition of Saint Chassepot to the Roman calendar Would only be a just recognition of the signal ser- vice rendered by the inventor to the Holy See in belng the means of arresting the dread food of Gari- baldianism tn its course towards Rome. But Colonel Chassepot neither obtains the meed of saintship hereafter nor the present glory of armorer to the Vatican. The Pontifical War Department ungrate- fully rejects the Chassepot, and the Remington breech-loader is the arm adopted for the warriors of the Cross. But the impoverished condition of the treasury has prevented any large purchases up to the present, and very few of the Papal troops have re- ceived their new armament. The rest are armed in & most miscellancous fashion. Nothing came more seasonably to the War Department than the supply of muskets gathered by the victors on the fleld of Mentana. Old and worthless as most of the arms ‘were, all were distributed among the Papal troops. But notwithstanding this windfall and the subse- quent purchases of the Roman government, some hundreds of the men are still without muskets. In other respects, also, the equipment of the Sacred militia is very imperfect. Uniforms, shoes, and even shirts are sadly deficient among them, and the last batches of recruits have remained more than a month before being supplied with their kits. In fact, notwithstanding the linerality of the faithful, the Pontifical exchequer is greatly straitened by the heavy expense of the large and increasing military force which Pius IX. now maintains, His Holiness must soon be driven either to reduce the number of his legionaries or have fresh recourse to credit. At present, however, there is no probability of the former course being adopted. e Papal army already numbers 18,000 men, but it 's proposed to keep up the ae gg ger until the total strength reaches 25,000, As the popuiadon of the Roman Btates does not exceed 700,000, an army of 25,000 men. would be in the proportion of 28 soldiers to every one thousand inhabitants, an excessive proportion even in Russia. The Pontifical treasury has an annual deficit of 29,000,000f., the revenue ring 000, 000f., against an expenditure of 65,000,000f. ie pro- Jected increase of the army to 25,000 would canse an additional expenditure of not less than 10,000,000f., thus augmenting the deficit to 39,000,000f. annually. This is a serious load of debt, considering it is m- curred by a State the internal resources of which are utterly paralyzed by a despotic and incapable admin- istration. Plus IX., however, has no concern on this head. The contributions from the Catholic world have hitherto sufficed to keep the bark of St. Peter afloat, and his Holiness believes that should the necessity arise an extraordinary effort would be made to relieve his financial embarrassments. No economical considerations are allowed, therefore, to slacken the ardor of military preparation. Rome has become a huge barrack, and the drum and bugle are as frequent and familiar music as church bells, Many conjectures have been made respecting the Motive of the Pontifical government in maintaining So large an army after being assured of French pro- tection inst Italian nercreeion. The key, how- ever, to the ss policy of the Roman court is to be found in the confident expectation that pre- vails at the Vatican of an approaching dismember- ment of Italy, The Pope has never ceased to feel the most bitter resentment at the loss of Umbria, the Marches and the Romagna, the fairest portions of his ancient dominion. This is the sore point that prevents any good understanding between Kome and Florence. Pius LX, will never acquiesce in the dismemberment of these provinces from the Holy See, and, indeed, cherishes a superstitious faith that the Church will one day have her own again. It was natural that after the last Garibaldian invasion the Pontifical ee ae should augment its military resources, but the warlike preparations that are now going on are intended to render the Holy See pre- Pi to take Siena of any opportunity that m: arise of reclaiming at least @ portion of its lost terri- tory. Futile as such anticipations may be consid- ered, they are confidently entertained by the Ultra- montane Party in Rome. Great hope is placed in the eiforts of thé Bonrbon intrigues in the Neapolitan provinces and the tinancial ditliculties of Italy. Civil war and national paneer: are the amlabie wishes that the Vatican sends to united Italy, and looks for- ward to realize through the incessant efforts of the reactionary party to ferment conspiracy and place Pid obstacle in the way of the Malian administra- on. ‘There is much tn this to justify the argument of the Italian democrats that the Pontifical government is a stunding menace to the peace and prosperity of Italy, Francis I. ig even much more hopeful, just at present, than his reverend hosts. The Palace Far- hese has long been the centre of a system of Bourbon | intriagne which is now very active, and it ia not at all improbable that the recent considerable increase of brigandage in the Neapolitan provinces is one of the expedienis resorted to for creating alarm in the country aud Cmbarrassing the Italian goverument sClandestine deputations are constantly arriving fro! Naples and Sicily with addresses to Francis IL. To all of them his fallen Majesty gives confident assur- ance of a speedy restoration and bids them remain | unshaken in their loyaity and allegiance to his dy- nasty. On some orcasions he lias distinctly alluded Ww a great movement which is to pave the Way to nis reiurao. This is doubtless connected with the plot of which the Italian government have already discoy: ered Some traces and have taken fall precaut agaiust. There is no doubt that this infatuated prince hugs the delusion that his presence would be the signal jor a general rising of the Southern pro- vinces tn his favor. In the present disorganized con- dition of Naples and Sicily he may have credit enough site @ partial movement headed by priests and @ movement as was suffocated in blood at Palermo in September, 1566, when monks formed part of the combatants against the royal troops and nuns loaded muskets for the insurgents, In Naples and Steily, as throughout Italy general! the priests are the instruments of the tionary party and the constant fomenters of agitation. Rome is now perfectly fortified to resist a stege in form. The wails have been strengthened and re- paired, loopholes for musketry and embrasures for cannon bave been pierced at favorable points, and the French have for some time past been forwarding from Toulon heavy guns and other arti wherewith to furhish the works. Caste » is in a complete state of defence, and is besides pro- Visioned jor several months, so that the Pope and Cardinals can take refuge within it at any moment. The Pope, while induiging hopes of the dismember: ment of Italy, has not failed to consider the proba- bility ofa strict alliance between Vrance and Ital one condition of which would of course be the F fuarantoe of Italian unity in return for assistance to france against Prussia. This alliance would bode UL for the temporal power. To-day the Pope ts greatly Irritated on account of the receipt of intelligence in Kome positively asserting the existence of such an alliance wader the form of a renewal of the Septem. ber convention, Under the conditions of this new ety d Rome would be guaranteed to the Holy See. but the wishes of the Komans would be respec! ‘The latter is a very elastic expression. Any defer- ence to the will of the Romans cannot, of course, be acceptable to the Vatican, which is perfectly weil aware What Rome would say tothe maintenance of the tempore! power if consulted. | am in- clined to attach credit to the rumor of this alliance from a consideration of Italy's position at the present moment, which is such a8 to render it impossible for her to deciine. the Frepch alliance. An [taliat @armée would be of very material aid to and to gain a useful ally there is little doubt tl would sacrifice the temporal power. Nobody sus pects him, any more than his great uncle, of any senti- mental devotion to the Holy See. Nor does Pius LX. entertain any delusions in this respect. The shrewd Italian priest knows perfectly well how much he was indebted for the second French intervention to Napo- leon's wish to propitiate the Catholic party in France and his desire to have a check upou Italy to prevent any leanings towards Prussia. And thus tt is, that wiitle Napoleon has done so much for the Holy See, he is the person most be nang | hated at the Vati- cen, He lnapires no confidence among th: rdinala; they cannot fathom his policy and feel that at any moinent he may abandon Rome to the Romans or the Italians, Jt must have cost bis Holiness some pain to take his late gift of the blessed hat and sword to Napoleon. Yet appearances had to be preserved ve- fore the world and the eldest son of the Church was the only eligible sovereign forthe honor, sad dia couragement is falling upon the Holy See in these lat. ter day& Queen Isabella, Who received the yoiden rose this year, alone remains faithful, is alone jn. = by that real thorough-going devotion to the chair of Peter, which was once general anong European monarchs, Austria, 80 long the pillar of the Church, is ialiing away. ‘ihe Bmperor Francis Joseph supporis the aemand of his Pariament for a revision of the Concordat.

They armed and paid by the Cana- itramontane ry, and Cardinal Anto- nelii in particular, regard this manifestation of Cath- ollc North America as a check to Protestant England. ‘That Power is in very bad odor at the Vatican. Sym- athy with Italy is of course suiticient to alienate the pienie of me, and the English people have been sinners in this respect, But Pins 1X. has been Cees exasperated by the fact that a great Partof the funds for ttt | out the last Garibal- dian invasion were contributed by admirers of Garl- baldi in England and Scotiand.’ Menotti Garibaldi made a journey to England and Sootland expressly for this purpose, and is believed to have collecied & very li amount; I have heard it stated at £30,000, The existence of this angry fee! at Rome is suitici- ent to account for the sympathetic attitude of the Irish Catholic priests toward Fenianism, ‘The mot @oradre has evi ae gone fromthe Vatican. Eug- land will find her difficulties in Ireland immensely increased if the priests go wholly with the people. Anticipations are made at the Vatican upon the propane of war between England and the United tates, aud Pope and Cardinals are unanimous in wishing confusion to the former, The French troops now remaining tn Roman terri- tory number about five thousand men, quartered principally at Civita Vecchia and Viterbo and the neighboring villages, Previous to the departure of General Bataillis’ division, the whole corps of ten thousand men were encamped under canvas around Civita Vecchia. Here, in December, they suffered terribly from the inclemency of the weather, and were attacked by typhus fever and choleratc diar- rhoea, There were loud murmurs at the unneces- sary hardship of thelr being kept under canvas at such @ season, but it was not until the mary ameng the men became serious that the Frenci General received orders to quarter the men in the towns of Civita Vecchia and Viterbo. General Du- Mont, the commander of the remaining French division, is a personage much more agreeable to the Vatican than his predecessor, General du Failly, whose liberal sentiinents and bluntly espcaned con. tempt for the Pontifical cause obliged the Emperor to recall him. General Dumont’s opinions are strictly orthodox, and he has giready rendered ser- vice to the Pope by reorganizing tue Antibes Legion, ‘This latter corps now musters nearly seventeen hun- dred men. Colonel d’Argy, their commander, has pons to Paris to solicit from the Emperor the trans- orination of the Legion into a regiment, at the same time jucreasing jts etfective to five tuousand men, ‘This reinforcement would consist of French soldiers, to whom the Emperor would give permission to enlist under the Papal banner, Putting the question of enlistment aside, it ia perfectly clear that the Antibes Legion continues to be strictly a French force, notwithstanding the “categorial” denials of the fact made by the French om- cial press at the period of the question tween France and Italy on this subject. Should the proposed transformation be eifected and the Pontifical army reach the number of twenty-five thousand men, the Dumont division would probably be recalled to France, as being no longer required in Roman territory. Meanwhile the French are filling the Pontitical fortresses at Rome and Civita Vecchia with rifed artillery and war ma- terial, and a body of one thousand French soldiers are now at work on the fortifications of Civita Vece! Thus, when the imperial legions are called awa from Roman territory, Plus 1X. will have no oc to indlte a second edition of the famous “Groans of the Britons.’” He will have a respectable army and stout ices to repel any Garibaldian “Picts and Scots.” His Holiness in recont conversations has ex- pressed his conviction that asecond invasion of Pon- ifical erg: either by Italian troops or Guribaldl- ans—and he doesn't distinguish between them—will be attempted before many months axe past. But he has at the same time declared that he ts more than ever resolved to repel force by force. The best foreign troops are now being sent to garrison the frontier and provincial towns, and Pius IX. looks forward nothing doubting to the inevitable coniict. The government sfill use the same tnilitary pre- cautions in Rome as if the city were ina state of siege. Patrols of dragoons and gendarmes pass through the streets day and night. Yet, notwith- standing all the lynx-eyed vigilance of the police some agents of the fmeod of action recentiy got into the city under the disguise of organ players. Ail of that fraternity have been deported out of the city, to- gether with their melodious instruments, This must surely be a benefit to the Roinan people. The un- happy minstrels were conveyed outside the iieeed into the campagna, and then “the world was all be- fore them where to choose.” The jehus of Kome are under very strict surveillance just now, as the police Auspect that some of the ubiquitous Garibaldians or Mazzinians may lurk in Roine under that humble guise, The Easter festival in Rome this year will be more than usually brilliant.

The Zukunft and other liberal journals are strongly opposed to such an innovation, suspecting danger ahead in this Papal demand, A report in the Vorddeutsche speaks of instrnetions | to the United States Minister in Mexico from the gov+ ernment in Washington to protect the Germans in that country, hinting at the sate time that the Prns- sian government would not be averse to resuming | diplomatic taterconrse with President Juarez if over- | tures to that e would be made by him, A REMARKABLE CHURCH INCIDENT, A Clergyman Struck With Paralysis During Service. [From the Newburg (N. Y,) Jonrnal, April 6.) On Sunday morning, while ‘Rev. Dr. Lundy, aasiat- ant minister of St. Paul's church of this city, was oficiating in the services of that church he was stricken down by paralysis, The service nad been unusually long and exhausting, the sermon occu - ing some forty minutes, and the doctor, while in act of receiving the plates after the collection, Waa observed to waver in his steps and to grasp at some object for support. His son and several others, mem, bers of the congregation, ran to assist him, and on reaching him found that he was helpless, speechless and unconsctous. Several docto! who were of te congregation, did every thing that lay in their power for his relief, bat were unsuccess- full in restoring him to consciousness, He was taken early in the afternoon in a carriage to his boardin, place, Mr. G, Thomson's, in Chambers stree! and we understand has not yet been restored to con- sciousness. One side is found to be completely para zed, and his medical attendants, Drs, Ghureh, lontiort and McKay, entertain fears that he will not recover. A remarkable case of presentiment In con- nection with this sad affair is as follows:—Dr. Lun- dy’s son, who is @ gentleman doing business in New York, had promised to come up and visit his father the Saturday before aster. On jast Saturday, however, the doctor, saying that he felt low spirited and wanted a chat with his aon, said to a friend that he thought he would telegraph for him. The friend tried to dissuade him, tellin him that his son wouid be up in a week any way, ant that, perhaps, it would not be best to send for him. ‘The doctor persisted, however, and accordingly tele- ge for his son, who arrived on Saturday even: ng, Was present in the congregation on Sunday, an was the first to reach his father after the latter re- ceived the paralytic stroke, His rigid observance of the Lenten fast, together with the hausting labors of the morning, 18 thought to have been the super: inducing cause of the attack.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. eas i Trpspay, April 1—6 P. M., The gold market has been on the whole firm to day, and the Muctuations were from 137% to 138%, with tlie opéning transactions at the lowest point,| mentioned, and the jatest sales, both prior to the ad. Journment of the board and afterwards, at, 188}¢., There was a good borrowing demand for coln and rates turned decidedly im fayor of the lender, owing to the growing monetary ease. Loans.were made at from seven to two per cent and “fat,” or without in- terest, 4 gs amounted to $48,537,000, the gold balances to $1,927,784 and the currency balances to $2,058,451. Edorts, were made by the bears to depress the premium upon the result of the election in Connecticut, and by the bulls to ad- vance it for the same reason; but neither side suc- ceeded materially, for matter of fact considerations atall times outweigh mere political feeling in the gold room, According to the statement of the public debt Just published the Treasury held $99,279,617 in cotnon the 1st inst., of which $17,742,060 was represented by gold certificates of deposit in the hands of the people, leaving $61,537,557 the property of the government. ‘The money market has been easy at seven per cent in currency, although a few transactions at the Tegal rate in coin were reported during the forenoon, 1ollowing which the supply was fully equal to the lim- ited demand from the Stock Exchange, Ourrency is coming in slowly from the interior, and the bapks show more disposition to discount for thelr mercan- tile customers to a limited extent, Commercial pa- per is, however, still dimcult of sale on the street, and the best grade ig rated at seven a nine per cent. The dulness of business on the Stock Exchange is favorable to borrowers, and loans made last week at seven per cent in coin are being replaced at the legal rate in currency. If, however, the demand from the stock houses were large, the loanable resources of the banks and street lenders would prove inadequate to meet it,-and immediate stringency would be the result, Borrowers foresee this and are disposed to Umit their transactions until they feel assured of an abundant supply of money. At the same time, owing to other causes, speculation in ratlway shares is extremely languid and the market for them wholly lacks outside support. The task of supporting prices, therefore, devolves upon the bull cliques, and they have thus far shown great determination in upholding them; but the result is ‘that they are very heavily loaded with stocks, and whenever anything occurs to weaken their power to susta.n the market a rapid decline will be inevitable. For the time being the Erte bill, now pending in the Senate at Albany, tends to check operations more Perhaps than any other cause, both on the part of the cliques and the street, as in the event of its passage a break in Erie would be probable, and this, it is believed, would affect the remainder of the rail- way list sympathetically, The Erie party are said to fee! sanguine that the bill will become a law, while the Vanderbilt party are somewhat doubtful as to the result. The bear movement in Pacific Mail is under- stood to be led by the leading director of the opposi- tion line, who, it is rumored, hopes to make up his steainship losses by the profits on his “short” sales, Hence the “vigorous” opposition, which Is to be “‘per- manent,” according to the company’s announce- ment, and the equally vigorous efforts of those con- cerned tn bearing the stock. Some of the directors of the Pacific Mail Company are under the suspicion of having taken advantage of existing circumstances to sell their own stock “short,” and there is good reason to believe that it is not altogether without foundation.
