4 “EUROPE. German Emicration to the United States and a New Class of Emigrants. Trial Train Over the Moun’ Cenis Railroad. The Great Powers on the Banks of the Danube. ‘The German mail steamship Weser, Captain Wenke, from Southampton May 26, arrived at this port at an early hour yesterday morning, bringing a mail re- esha of our cable despatches dated to her y of sailing. | A new drill regulation for the Russian army is About to be published at St. Petersburg. It does away with all unpractical evolutions, confining mill- tary tactics to the simplest movements, such.as can be executed in active warfare. Admiral Tegethoff has gone from+Vienna to Pola to hasten the defensive works at that port and inspect the coasts of the Adriatic. A portion of the Danish army ts to be concentrated next month in Jutiand, near to Hald, where a camp has been formed, The King of Denmark will pay a Visit to the troops in the course of July. Marshal MacMahon has addressed a letter to the Paris papers contradicting a statement in the Patrie With respect to the difference between him and the Archbishop of Algiers, and which attributed to the Marshal the intention of dissolving the asylums Where the Arab children who are orphans are shel- tered. Such an intention, he declares, was never for @ moment entertained by him; on the contrary, he ‘was always of opinion that it was advantageous to ‘the colony to admit the native children in the French establishments and schools, where, both from the teaching they received and their contact with Euro- pean children they would be better prepared for the fusion of the races which it was the object of the government to attain. ‘The Hanoverian emigrants in France, to the num- ber of seven hundred and fifty-seven, handed to come the Termignen, Bramans, Modane Fren bud of the Mont Cenis tame), di.

The undertaking is new, and there are various little things that may be susceptible of improvement. By degrees it is hoped and pecnd, that the time will be reduced to five hours, but there seems no probability that the speed will be augmented, The gain is sumiciently great, as it is to constitute an enormous improvement over diligence ae In the carriage the passenger feels like one drawn along a dificult road, but from whose mind every timorous sensation is banished by seeing how com- letely the strong and skilful driver has his horses in nd, directs them at will, curbs thein with a tnger.

The opening of the line to the public is fixed for the 8th of June, ‘The trains will be of several kinds—first class, ex- press, ordinary trains.and goods trains.

TURKEY. Allied European Works on the Danube—Eng- lish Navigation of the River. [Pesth (May 19) correspondence of the London Times.] From Galatz I hear that on the 30th of April the plenipotentiartes of England, France, Austria, Italy, Prussia and Turkey signed a convention for guaran- teeing the Danube works loan to the amount of £135,000, to be devoted to the consolidation of the Sulina piers and the deepening and straightening of (the ad a4, At Count de Goltz, Prussian Ambassador at Paris, a de- claration by which they decline to accept the am- nesty offerea to them by the Court of Berlin. The London Economist, writing on the condition of the Crédit Mobilter of Paris, and likening it to that of Messrs. Overend, Gurney & Co., says:— The French Court has decided that the directors of the Crédit Mobilier must reimburse the new share- holders; they have made themselves by French law perso! liable; they have by wilful concealment Caused a loss, and that loss, if they can, they must amake In Overend’s the question of the per- — bility of the directors® has not yet been de- ided. But, as we haye said often before, we cannot ‘doubt that the shareholders of the limited comp: ‘have their remedy against the directors who indu —— to subscribe to it, The private means even of ich directors would not amount to much in satis- liabilities so vast. Still no one can doubt it be pee justice demands. The new capital of e Crédit Mobilier 18 £2,400,000, and that {s a fearful ‘Bum for a board of ra torepay. They may, it is true, recover some of it in time from the assets of the Crédit Mobilier, but that will be a long process. GERMANY. Emigration to America and Character of the Emigrante—The Expedition to Chinna—Famine and Typhus in East Prussia. The Berlin correspondent of the London Times, ‘writing on the 23d of May, says this year’s emigra- ‘tion promises to be one of the largest on record, and is expected to reach something like 250,000. Its re- markable feature is the prevalence of the northern element, chiefly Protestants, and men with a small capitalin their pockets, Ten years ago the bulk of emigrants was contributed by Southerners—Catholics and ee. just able jto pay their passage; nowa- 4s, und indeed has been for several years past, he reverse. The reason of this is twofold. Thecen- res of the Southern population have, by the long ‘rain on them, freed themselves of their superfluous elements; the North, on the other hand, in which eeopaeton Was never an evil, now sends out those its Held hands who in the last fifteen pros- perous have managed to lay by some little sum. Altogether destitute of capital, the provident North- erner will rarely embark in such an enterprise. Should the emigration hence retain this new char- acter for some time to come it will begin to tell Py rg Position of the Germans in the United ta The Prussian man-of-war which was destined to ‘occupy some islet in the Chinese waters has received counter orders, Itis one of the vessels affected by the unfortunate controversy between the federal Par- Hament and the Crown, and paid off because the requisite loan has not been voted in the manner de- manded. German commerce with China has risen considerably, and 1s second only to the English and American. In 1866 {t amounted to £7,725,921, while that of France did not exceed £1,306,718, In East Prussia typhus, the destructive follower of famine, at length begins to handle the scythe less vigorously. In combatting the terrible enemy no fewer than twenty physicians have died on the fleld of honor. The number of other victims is very variously given, and it seems will never be correctly ascertained. ITALY. ‘The Mount Cenis Railway—Trial Trip on the {St. Michel (May 24) correspondence of London Times.) There are not a few of us who can remember, be ftonly dimly and as @ boyish reminiscence, the opening of the first railway, when Mr. Huskisson lost his life, and the greatest soldier of the day is reported to have felt less inclination to entrust himself to the iron horse than he had ever shown to mount his charger. Thirty miles over a level and well prepared road was thought so extraordl- nary and perilous a feat to be accomplished by steam traction that the announcement that within forty years a similar means of locomotion would be Successfully adopted over the summit of one of the Highest mountain ranges of Europe would then have Deen laughed at as the dream of an insane entiusi- ‘ast. “Across the Alps in Four Hours’ reads like @ ‘Very sensational heading, and the success of the Sommering Kailway cannot be saia to have prepared the world to believe im the much greater feat of arail- ‘Way over Mont Cenis. Like most great and auda- cious novelties, the Reon had to contend against ‘the doubts of the incredulous and the apprehensions Of the timid, to say nothing of the opposition and mane@uvres of rival interests, There was nothing easier than to make it look highly dangerous, not to say Wholly impracticable, to persons at a distance. | The elements of a most alarming picture were easily | Thrown together. With one’s feet on the fender on & chilly January night how natural to conjure up wisions of a forlorn train, looking in the distance like @ string of coffins draw: 4 portable stove, toiling way over tle snowy expanse of a luge Alp until slipped back over a glacier into fathomiess pysses or Was pitched over @ precipice to unuttera- poet song | Happy, then, the prudent folks who | referred the tedium and discomforts of the tine old eavy diligence toiling upwards at the moderate pace of three miles an hour to the hideous risks of | over-Alpine steam traMc. 1 believe there are still | ome old ladies in England who have bever entrusted | ‘their valuable lives to the tender mercies of any rail ‘way,and certainly @ four-horse coach daily takes a ct load of insides and outsides im four hours down Brighton, | The time hitherto employed (in the various trial | trips recently made) in getting across Mount Cenis has been a little over four hours of actual locomo- ton. But stoppages are inevitable, chiefly for the Purpose of watering the engine, and the journey will ardiy take less time than five hours and a haif, at deast under present arrangements. It js a it ob- fect to economize weight and consequently much water cannot be carried. ‘The unnecessary weight ‘of the French engines has to be saved in other ways. ‘The provision of the French law by which machinery Baines and used in France must proceed from ‘rench manufactories has been disadvantageous to this compauy. it would not be surprising if English were hereafter to be introduced on the a side of the mountain, which is the more dim- the Sulina branch. The guarantee is given subject to the approval of the different Parliaments and Assemblies, and is probably by this time on the table of your House of Commons. T gave you from Constantinople last winter a de- tatled account of the working of the European com- mission for the improvement of the navigation of the Danube, and it is scarcely hear rages out the importance of the subject to tt interests. More than any other Power land 1s in- terested in the maintenance of the improve- ments in the navigation effected by the commis- sion, for hers are the lai it vessels by far that frequent the Danube. This is her advantage as lon; as the present improvement lasts. Thus, last wee the Pacific, an English steamer of 1,300 tons, 261 feet long, descended the river from ibraila to Sulina, drawing 16 feet 3 inches of water, and having com- pleted her 1 she went over the bar, drawing 18 feet 4inches. The fact speaks for itself, Of course the water is unusually high this year, but the waters have been equally high before the works were made, ‘et no one would have dreamed of such a feat. It may therefore hoped that Parliament will sanction the guarantee on the lease to be contracted in order to make the present improvements permanent. The works are al in swing under the direction of Sir Char! jartiey, the well known chief engi- neer. The mete = eer is active and the receipts higher than they ever have been. What with them and the amount realized by an issue of bonds in the winter, in anticipation of the loan, the commission have money rosecute the to pi works vigorously till Al yy which time it is hoped the first idstalmentor the loan will have been vided passes in the jo ingland and elsewhere. ‘The principal works are to be the conversion of the temporary piers at Sulina into permanent masses of stone; the cu through the “M’" , 80 Called from its resemb! that letter, the removal of two shoals in the Sulina branch, the deepe! of the channel at the upper entrance of the Sulina channel, and the completion of the Post Ofice and the Seamen’s Hospital at Sulina. CHINA. The Earthquake at Formosa--Disastrously Fatal Kesulte—The Remains of Wrecks Thrown trom the Deep—Aged Persons Suf- fered Most—Roll and Direction of the Shock. YAMSIN, FoRMOSA, China, March 30, 1868. For the more particular benefit of men of science Isend you the complete particulars of the earth- quake which occurred at this place on the 18th of December, especially as I have since learned that shocks were heard simultaneously (making allow- ance for difference of longitude) throughout the Northern States, and also in Canada. The immense surface of the earth convulsed by this shock will, I trust, call forth some remarks from scientific men as to its origin. The shock occurred at ten A. M. and seems to have been unprecedented in violence, being also attended with the most lamentanle loss of life. The northeast portion of the island, Keelung harbor, appears to have received the first shock, and this would lead one to imagine that it had originated in Japan; but we have not heard of any earthquake felt in that place, At Keelung harbor the inhabitants were completely bewildered at seeing their harbor ieft almost in 8 moment completely dry, even beyond the usual anchorage for vessels. Some more ad- venturous than others having pera, recovered their senses, and, with an eye to business, rushed in to pick up the fish which could be seen in vast quan- tities floundering about in the pools left by the reced- ing waters. Dearly, however, were their coveted prizes purchased as the huge mass of waters returned with such fearful rapidity and force as to give them no chance of escape, and many were drowned. The wreck of an old junk, which had been buried for years in the sand, was lifted up aud carried out to sea, but brought back and thrown high and dry as the gigantic wave refliled the harbor. The native town suffered very much, a large num- ber of houses having been demolished some fifty lives lost. The loss of life, however, was chiefly con- fined to opium smokers and peopie advanced in life. The quivering roofs of houses, the undulating move- ments of the earth gave, in most cases, sufficient warning to the people to abandon their houses and seek the open air, Most providentially there were no vessels in harbor at Keelung at the time, since their destruction would have been Inevitable, the American bark Arthur, from Salem, Mass., Captain Crosbie, and the brig Alcyone, having left a few days before, ‘The shock appears to have pursued almost a di- rect course over the island from Keelung to Yamsin, at which latter place it was felt very severely, as well in loss of life as in the destruction of property and houses, including a temple which had just been completed at a cost of $20,000, On this occasion the Chinese exhibited their usual apathy and indiffer- ence, making no effort to extricate their friends and relatives buried amidst the mass of ruins and débris of falling houses, whose piercing cris for help were heartrending In the extreme, e tidewalters of the Imperial Maritime Customs were indefatigable in their erforts to assist and extricate the poor mangled wretches from their perilous positions, the most Fy oases recelving the necessary attention from br. Hozier, ‘The duration of the earthquake was about thirty seconds, and for ten days following partial shocks were experienced, making it extremely diMcult to procure anight’s rest, every one being on the qui %, capecially at night, doors, &c., being kept open to facilitate a hasty escape. ‘The shocks succeeding the grand earthquake were felt at intervals of five or six hours, as I remarked before, for a period of ten days; but up to the pres- ent time slight shocks have been experienced at varied intervals, A Village on the northern extremity of the island seems to have suffered in an extensive d hav- ing lost one thousand people. 1 visited this place recently and saw on every side the most extensive evidence of the violence of the earthquake. Besides the usual destruction of houses, &c., there were the most enormous landslips visible in almost hg di- rection, especially in the vicinity of some sulphur pe dw] two, The engines must then be chan ihe station Hefore arrival at the French frontier, Shere marked b: stone With “Italia” on ome ya “France” on the other.

The three days public prayer, or éridium, com- meneced on ‘ihursday morning last im all the Catholic churches, in compliance with the wishes of tue Holy Father a4 expressed in his encyclical letter of Octo- ber 17, 1867, us well as of Lie general sentiment ex- pressed by the assembled delegates at the Baltimore Council. The public services will be fittingly ended to- day with a collection in the various Catholic churches throughout the archdiocese, the proceeds of which will be devoted to the benefit of the Pope. The services and prayers during the tridium have been directed especially to the supplicating of divine assistance for the persecuted children of the faith in all nations, and that God may “extend His strong right arm to guard and protect His holy Church; that he may strengthen and console the heart of its Chief Pastor, who is still encompassed by 80 many perils, and forced by the malice and tre&chery of wicked men to suffer so many wrongs and trials; that He may deiiver him from the snares of his enemies, and guide the bark of Peter through storms and dangers into safety and peace.” ‘The services each day consisted of a votive masa and Litany of the Saints in the morning and the Miserere and solemn benediction in the seoning, On Thursday the mass was in honor of the Blessed Sac: ment ; on Friday a requiem to the memory of the men who died in the service of the Pope, and on Saturday in honor of the Blessed Virgin, ‘Trinity Sunday, a festival designed for the especial commemoration of the divine mystery of the Trinity, will be celebrated in the Catholic and Episcopal churches. There are no capegint services to desig- nate the festival, but the collects, lessons and gospel of the day are selected because of their appropriate- ness to the mystery commemorated, ‘The Young Men's Sodatity of St. Francis Xavier will hold_a special meeting to-day at the hail of St. Francis Xavier College. The Baptist Anniversaries, The Baptist anniversaries were held a week later than those of the other denominations, They were of more than usual interest, The report of the Mis- sionary Union was very interesting and encourag- ing, although, with an income of $192,000, a deficit has occurred of $30,000. The attempt was made at the Bible Society and to harmonize the divi- sions in the denomination which repre- sent the new “immersing” and the old ‘baptiz- ing” versions, The new version, ~whose translation is occupying some of the best scholars of the coun- try, 18 growiug in favor amoog the Baptists. The most interesting of all the meet ‘were those which were devoted to the Home Mission Society. ‘The contributions: reported were $136,000, and the whole number of missionaries 331, whom 106 churches have been organized and 6,412 baptisins ad- ministered. The question of reunion between the Northern and Southern branches of the denomina- tion was discussed, having been inaugurated by a committee of the Northern Home Mission Snciety, which attended a late bt of the Southern Society in Baltimore. Several of the leading South- ern divines were present here and made conciliatory addresses that were much approved, The Presbyterians and Roman Catholics. The Observer (Presbyterian) is profoundly indig- nant at the demonstration made on Sunday last by the German Catholics. It says:—We were aware that Romanism is a great power m New York, but we do not remember when we have had to record such a bold, defiant outrage upon the rights of our citizens ag occurred on Sunday last. An immense German Catholic procession—some papers say of ten thousand pergons—passed tl the principal streets and avenues, with rifle coi Manas of music, milif flags and paj one with the portrait Pius IX. and the inecription, ‘Pro- tector of the Roman Cathollc Central Union of the U. S. of A.;’ blockading the streets and disturbing’Pro- testant tions during their regular hours of worship, 80 that in several cases the voice of the hi in the sound of music. We eard of one instance where the worship had to be suspended altogether in uence of this sion. The sec londay give full des- ular papers of, criptions of this extraordinary @ word of dissent. Our Presbyterian contemporary adds:— Shall the Christian community put up with such an outrage upon the American Sabbath? The laws of the. State protect usin the exercise of our rights of conscience, and forbid such 0) desecration of Sunday as interferes with the qi worship of God in the sanctuary. We allow our Roman Catholic fel- low citizens every reasonable a ees we cannot permit them to trample down the tian institu- tions under which country has grown stro! and free. If they choose to bid defiance to the sac! convictions and time honored customs of the great majority of the gt are they must be responsible for the consequences of their conduct. There is a point where patience ceases to be a virtue. Theological Discussion in Chicago. Chicago is continually the theatre of sensations, It is now in a fever upon the subject of theology. It seems that tfle Rev. Dr. McMullen (Roman Catholic) took umbrage at something said by the Rev. Dr. Mat- tison (Methodist) and incontinently challenged him to discuss the merits of their respective faiths. Mr. Mattison not over courteously consented upon the condition that the question should be putin this form:—“Is Romanism a corrupt form of Chris- tianity—in other words, no Christianity?” Of course Dr. McMullen rejected this condition as insulting. He, however, renewed his original proposition and gave his fellow doctor a lesson in i breeding by tendering him the free use of his library before and after the discussion. The Methodist champion de- clines to avail himself of this offer or to debate at all = upon the terms which he had already indi- cated. Here the matter rests, dist ce without “Attack on the Protestantism of the British Sovereign.’ Under the above heading the London Globe pub- lishes the following:— ‘The real spirit and purpose of the present aggression on the Protestant@hurch and constitution of the realm receives a si whicn Sir Colman O'Loghien proposes to move in committee on the Promissory Oaths bill.

No one responding to the call he commenced and toed the whole service without assistance, naming and repeating the Psalins that were sung, repeating from memory and with —— emphasis the whole of the fortieth chapter of Isaiah, without the omission of a verse and with scare cl of @ word, and lead! in prayer with accustomed richness of Scriptui Jangui He prayed with great fervor for the two General Assemblies in session, that God would biess their deliberations and action to the re-union “of those two tribes of Israelso long needlessly divided.” Religious Intolerance in Great Britain. The London Star of May 19 contains the following curious statement:— An extraordinary question received a more extra- ordinary answer in the House of Commons last night, Mr. Taylor asked the Earl of Mayo if it wasa fact that ner in Mountjoy prion. who declared himself nitarian was ordere Py, the Governor to select his religion as bye man Catholic or Presby- terlan, and on his refusal was sentenced to the enal cell, with bread and water diet, From the ri's reply we gather that the statement was sub- fae pent true, but that Mr. Taylor had hardly put it with sufficient force, It seems that the convict in question, one Murphy, on his admission to the Mount. joy convict prison, declared that he was of no re- igion, He was ordered to select one. He refused. He was then put on penal diet for three days, then re- cetved tor five days into the hospital, and, on his leav- ing the hospital, put on the penal diet again, ‘and then he selected the man Catholic religion.” What is most charining is that it required the united wisdom and discretion of all the high prison oficials working in concert to effect this marvellous conver- sion. ey went and told the director, firstly, that Murphy was unprovided with a faith. rector minuted the governor. pplied to his superiors for instructions. The chief merit in the conversion is its cheapness; it could not have cost much more than five shillings from first to last, But we fear that the plan of ordering a man to select his religion is unsound in principie, although it sue- led so Well on this occasion. It is impossible to keep every variety of faith on tap; and suppose Morphy had avowed a preference for the doctrines of Buddha, how would it have been possible for him to go to meeting ? The Conversion of the Hebrews. Mr. Julius Rosenthal, a well known Hebrew tn Che cago, writes to the Tribune of that city the following communication in regard to the work of converting the Jews to Christianity:—‘The sensible view you have taken in Sunday's 7riune in regard to the con- version of the Jews meets certainly the hearty ap- proval of any Jew or Gentile of common sense. If it was to be simply a doctrinal fight between Christians and Jews, from the pulpit or by the pen, I would consider that to be the right of any follower of any religious or irreligious, orthodox or heterodox creed, of any believer, disbeliever or infidel to make use of those means, If the result of such a fight snould be that baptization and circumcision should devour each other so radically, al wie baw in the mi on cenversion and handed him one of her trate.

Sarah Colt, a little girl eleven years of age, started the Sunday school enterprise in the city of Paterson, N. J., some seventy-four years ago. She collected the children of the factories and taught them, from Sunday to Sunday, until she had as many as sixty under her personal care. This she continued for a series of years, until she left the city for a season. When she returned she resumed her labors and was @ teacher of youth for forty years.

The story is told of a venerable theological profes- sor that, while once addressing a Sunday school, he happened to use the word “epitome.” Suspecting that he might be using too big a word for their com- prehension he thus translated it into childish ver- nacular:—‘‘But perhapth, children, you don’t know what epitome meanth.

Paris, May 22, 1868. The order of the day at the Assembi¢e Legislative being discussions on figures and at the Senate on budgets, the fashions are following the lead given in such high quarters, and ladies are metamorphosed in. both figures and budgets. The latter are prominent behind, the former in front. Those who will diafig- ure themselves in leading questions have adapted the unmitigated pannier and do not lock so well even as many of the guys we have had such ringing,” hearty laughs over in picture books. That the styles must be followed when becoming, and so modified as to be made becoming, is incon- testible, A few hints on elegant fashions so combined may be useful. ‘The hair, in the first piace, is, by women of taste, no longer piled up to steeple over tall gentlemen's bea- vers; the Louis XV. headdress, not the first empire, isin favor again, It is raised on the temples and falls in light curls and braids without inordinate bulge behind, Lovely flower garlands, made of large roses, camellias, or, what is preferred, of berries and fruit, are now adopted instead of gold ‘rims, for all the world like barrel circles, The garlands most admired last week were worn, one by the Duchesse de Mouchy ata charity concert organized by Baroness de Beauveau and the other by Mme. de Moustier, the wife of the Minister. Duchesse de Mouchy’s was made of full yellow and white roses, Mme. de Mous- tler’s of hedge fruit. The newly married man, Prince Achille, jyst ap- peared at the concert, but of course he soon disap- peared, as the bride was not present. I might as well say that & comic piece played om this occasion was, in the hearing of some of the court ladies, condemned by a moralist for being too racy, too fast, Bo improper; when a Princess ex- claimed ‘so much the better.” It is very likely the moralist meant to be agreeable and felt the bridge of his nose half broken by the bold retort to his utter ance. Why need moralists go to improper places? Another modified fashion—modified only by womem of taste, I repeat—is the exaggerated Watteau inte the queenly Trianon.
