American Impeachment News in England and Germany. Ben Wade's Commercial Policy Canvassed at the Fair of Lelpsic. South German Argument Against Prussian Concentration. Disraeli Preparing for a Grand Cabinet Coup. Papal Opinion of Religion in Great Britain. By mail from Europe we have the following special @orrespondence in important detail of our cable @espatches to the 25th of April. ENGLAND. The Church Question Agitation—Diaraell Pre- paring fora Grand Political Coup—Grand British Battle for OMce—American Impeach= ment News—Probabie Effect of the Verdict ef the Senate—The Spiritualistic Will Case—Mr. Home and Mrs. Lyons. Lonpon, Aprit 25, 1868, Excepting the great mass meeting at Spurgeon’s tabernacle, over which John Bright presided, and the letter from Mr. Gladstone, published in this morn- img’s papers, denying that he has made any agree- ‘ment with the Pope or entertains any sympathy for popery, there have been no new developments in re- gard to the Irish Church question this week. It has hardly been mentioned in Paritament except tm the Presentation of petitions. Next wéek, however, the battle is to be resumed and the cable will report to you its progress day by day. From present appearances ‘Mr. Gladstone's resolutions will certainly be carried, ‘but opinions differ as to the course which Mr. Disraeli ‘will then pursue. Many persons believe that he will Still cling to oMce; but 1am convinced from reliable private information that the adroit Premier 1s pre- Paring to astonish both friends and foes by a bit of strategy as bold and as successful as that which he adopted upon the reform question. The main point of the discussion, it seems to me, ‘ts the fact that the Irish Charch is used by both par- ‘ties as a political hobby, English politicians have always claimed a superiority over those of the United ‘States on the ground that they never acted from purely isan motives; put the present state of affairs ntirely explodes this claim. Just as the slavery question in America was dragged into the political arena and used by politictaus who cared nothing about the tasue, except so tar as it affected their chances of ofice, so has the Irish Church question ‘been treated in England. Just as democrats and re- publicans made poiitical capital out of the slavery vation, 80 have tories and liberals used the Irish hurch question. The only persons in America who ‘were sincerely in earnest in desiring the abolition of slavery were the radicals, Jed by Wendell Puillips; the only persons in England who are s.ncerely in earnest in desiring the ition of the Irisu Churen are the radicals, led by John Bright. Disraeli is re- appre the sentiments and cuuvictions of his life defending that church. Mir. Gladstone is equally fmconsisient in attackiug the Irish QObureh. The struggle is a struggie or office, and though the result may be beneiicial to Ireland it will conier no honor ‘pon the statesinen.of England, Ht is impossible to over-estimate the interest with which the impeachment trial is regarded in this country.

ROME. The Fashionable Season Ended—Civic Decora- tions In Holy Week=The Pope Out Doore—Assurances of the Falthfal—Hoped for Conversion of England—The Papal Army. Rome, April 21, 1868, The festive period of Easter, with all its grand ceremonials, having come to its conclusion, foreign visitors have been leaving Rome during the. last week in as great crowds as arrived here before Palm Sunday. The illuminations commemorative of the double anniversary of the 12th April, fixed to take place on the 16th, were so much damaged by torrents of rain and stormy winds that all the transparencies and allegorical pictures, stucco fagadea and statues so plentifully erected on all the principal plazzas of the city, were rendered’ unserviceable and were only repaired by the evening of the 18th, which, being as fine as the preceding days had been foul, allowed of the brilliant display coming off successfully, It would be superfluous to inflict on your readers a detailed catalogue of all the architec- tural and pyrotechnical devices employed on this occasion to magnify the virtues and heroism of the reigning Ponti, but it may be interesting to them to know that the prevailing spirit displayed in the Pictures, inscriptions and religious invocations which adorned the temporary monuments was one of tri- umph at the defeat of the Garibaldians, who, in the inscription to the Immaculate Conception on the Piazza del Clementino, were styled ‘modern Mussul+ mans,” and of the confident expectation of similar approaching successes. The Pope, who had driven in the afternoon to the church of St, Agostino to inspect the recent it Miao rove towards nightfall, observing the he principal cmap among which was a colossal statue of himself on a column flanked at the base by allegorical statues of Faith, Hope, Fortitude and Wisdom, erected on the Piazza del Santi Apostoli, which gave rise to some satirical re- marks on the part of the incorrigible Romans, from the circumstance of the eopee effigy being, tied round the neck and sustained in the perpendicular by four cords Jxed to the four sides of the piazza, a precaution the more necessary as in the Posy storm the colossal mass had been blown down, kill- ing one wan. and injuring another, if the fatal report to that effect is not merely a continuation of the — His Holiness returned to his ow! ‘tber the applause of his faithful subjects of the Borgo.

Be- noit D’Azy, to whom bis Holiness addressed in return a touching discourse, which he concluded by request- ing their prayers in favor of his enemies as well as his friends, On the same afternoon the Pope honored the Duke and Duchess of Gallese with @ visit at the Altem| palace, to visit the chapel and revere the relics of st. Anicetns, discovered in the catacombs of St. Calix- tus in the beginning of the seventeenth century, and presented by Pope Clement VIII. to the Duke G. An- gelo Altemps, who chose St. Anicetus for the protect ung saint of his facaily and built a gorgeous chapel for the reception of the martyr’s remains. It was remarked on the evening of the illumina- tions that the Austrian embassy, on the Piazza dl Ve- nezia, was in complete darkness, and it ts inferred from that uncomplimentary mode of proceeding that diplomatic retations between hiv Holiness and his Apostolic Majesty are still in danger of total extine- tion.

Many of our had their atten- tion attracted to a tanavpenrancs of the eons, and a strange, rus! sound about the hour when the work of destruction was going on, and there were but few who did not remark that ‘‘there was a hurricane some 7 een five and six o’clock this pre- diction was verified by reporta - in from Seventy-six and Sweetiand townships. The intelli- the fears already entertained gence augmented the our citizens and produced the greatest excitement. ‘Those who saw the approach of the tornado pre- vious to its commencing its work of destruction C4 that it had the form of an inverted funnel, whic! whirled like ‘@ top as it sped along. The funnel seemed to have formed by two clouds meeting. AS nearly as we have able to ascertain the storm in its course through this county first burst on the farm of Mr. A. Cone, near Ce- dar river, in Cedar township, about nine miles west of this city. It tore down quite a stretch of fence on the farm, thence swept half mile eastward to John 8, Rigg’s place. completely demolishing a large new barn and some other out- houses; also a large portion of his fence. Passing the residence of Mrs. Leonard Houts it shattered every window tp the house without doing any her damage worth apeaking of. Benjamin F, Miller's and R. Altekruse’s places, very near each other, six miles from the city, were next visited. Mr, Miller's house seemed to be taken in piecemeal and carried of, together with every article of furniture, bedding, coming, &c. Mr, Miller and his famuy were fortunately away from home at the time, which — probab! saved ther lives. The house was small, worth about $1,000, but the to the family will be severly’ felt, ag it includes everything they had, except the clothes they wore at the time. Mr. Altekruse lost a barn and shed—nothing else of material value. The next object of the fury of the tornado was a large frame church building, valued at $3,000 and located near the last named places, It was literally lifted from its foundation and scattered to the four winds. Portions of a Bible and @ Sabbath school book were afterwards picked up on Mr. Bumgardner’s farm, about two miles distant. A brick school house near the church, worth about $1,500,.suffered the same fate. But the most terrible, heart-sickening soene in the of the tornado is @ few rods North- east of the school house, on the farm of Mr. om: Hi which gentleman lost hose, barn, five head of cattle and a number of sheep and ‘hogs at one fell blow, besides having several horses, pigs and cattle injured.
