EUROPE. Preparations for the Ecumenical Coun- ‘i ci) in Rome. THE LONDON DRAMATIC French and American News- papers. The Great Storm in Ger- many. S EASON, ‘rhe budget of foreign correspondence which we publish in this morning’s HERALD from our specials in some of the principal cities of Europe will enable our readers to become acquainted with the details of events that are about to transpire, or have already taken place in their respective sections. From England we have a résumé of what is being done at the London theatres; the Roman letter treats particu- Jarly on the preparations for the commg Rcumenical Council, at which representatives of the Christian Chureh from all parts of the Christian world are ex- pected to be present; the letter from Spain de- scribes the present situation of the country gener- ally and also gives an interesting account of the fruit and wine trades, ‘The letter from Parts will also be found of interest, drawing, as it does, a parallel between the French and American press, and also throwing some additional light on the recent Baudin manifesta- tons, which during their existence threatencd to disturb the peace of the French capwal. The violent Seem which visited Berlin on the Sth, and spread over the grea nart of Germany, is described in full 4n the correspondence sam the Prussian capital. Our Vienna letter reviews the COnomiean of Austria and Hungary, and shows what is being done for ue army and navy of these two countries, ENGLAND. Novelties at the London Theatres. Lonpox, Dee. 9, 1888. While the old and the new Ministries are engaged fm changing places, like the dancers in a State quad- fille, and while the new Lord Chancellor is preparing the draught of the very brief Queen's speech that is to Builice to adjourn Parliament until next year, and hile there is a lull and calm in general politics like that which follows a Presidential election in America, Jet us look in at the theatres, where changes and busy preparations are also going on, and see what novelties re presented or promised for the Christmas season, That elegant little theatre, the Prince of Wales’, -@rill open the new season next Saturday with a new comedy, by Edmund Yates, of which great things are expected. It is to be called “Tame Cats,” and I am fortunately able to give you the plot a week in @dvance of its production. Mr. Waversham, a young gentleman of fertune, is beset by two har- pies, one @ poet and the other a female second cousin, who live upon him and endeavor to ruin These two people, with another old mystery palled Mr. Tweedie, are the “tame cats” of the y. Hedgewood and the cousin sueceed in in- Guaee Waversham to invest his money in bogus Bhares and to doubt the fidelity of his wife. Tweedie, Nike a guardian angel, suppresses the letter ordering ‘the shares and vindicates the wife's innocence. ‘This 4s the plot; but a number of amusing and pathetic incidents are skilfully developed and the dialogue Bparkles with brilliant epigrams. All the best artists in the company will play in ‘lame Cats,” and its success is a certainty. Let me take you behind the London scenes for a Moment and show you why this new comedy is con- Bidered of 80 great importance that it now almost Monopolizes the attention of the London literary and dramatic wor!

Religious Festivals in the Kternal City—! paration for the Ecumenical Council—The Pope’s Monumental Memerial tothe Council of 1869—Fceling Over the Recent Execu- Rom, Dec. 8, 1868. Yesterday afternoon being the eve of the festival of the Immaculate Conception, his Holiness re- patred with his customary state to the Church of the Holy Aposties to attend vespers, and this morning was present at the grand service in the Sixtine chapel in honor of the Holy Virgin, ‘‘sine labe con- cepia.” It now wants exactly a year to the convo- cation of the general council of the Church sum- moned by Pius IX. ‘The Civitta Cattolica, the Jesuits’ periodical, has been appointed by the Pope to be the official organ of the Council, and it has already commenced its series of srticles on the subject with an “avviso im- portante,” ~“anouncing 0 the Christian world that in its colusaus will be found the most authentic “chronicle of the Council,” The Crvilta Cattolica Wil comprise two distinct departments of informa- tion—the one argumentative, treating of the doctrinal dinicuities to be discussed, and the other historical, giving in erfenso the acts of the Holy See and the Cath- olic Episcopacy, the preparations going on in Rome, with commentaries on all works published about the conneil, and narrations of whatever may take place in Christian States for or against it. Meanwhile the Civilta Cattolica is preparing the faithful for the approaching important event by the publication of a series of articles explanatory of the object and or- ganization of ecumenical councils. In its Lmpres- sion of Saturday the Jesuits’ review treats at some length the foliowing propusitions, and develops them “ahistorical traditions = doctrinal ee ao} » does it belong to sulimon @ council? 2 Who has @ tiie se auuet at a council? 8. What authority haye we visuvps united in councily 4. To whom belongs the presidency of the coun- cily 5, What 1s the authority of the council? There is also im the Same journal an important article as demonstrating a wish to emancipate Popes from subjection to ecumenical councils, entitled “The doctrine of St. Antonine, Archbishop of Flor- ence, on the infallibility of Popes and their supe- riority over councils.’” The Pope is Providing beforehand for a monu- menta! memorial of the approaching general coun- cil. It is @ poetical maxim that “coming events do cast their shades before,” and in the present case the suadow assumes the solid shape of a colossal marble coiumn, recently disinterred from its twenty centuries’ repose on the wharf of the ancient empo- rium. Baron Visconti, who has the direction of these excavations, had the honor of exhibiting all the marbie “treasure trove” on the bank of the Tiber to his Holiness, who visited the locality on Monday last. The dimensions of the recumbent column of African marble, still in its rough state, having ex- cited the Pontifs admiration, the Baron iminedi- ately suggested the advisability of getting it finished and polished, for erection on the Janiculum, betore the Church of St. Peter in memoriam, in eternal memory of the general council of 1869. The base of this proposed monument would bear the scul tured names of all the bishops present at the council. Pio Nouo is said to have been charmed with the proposition and to have authorized the immedi- ate preparation of the site and miateriala for the monuwent. Count ‘Trapani yesterday—the eve ofjthe festival of the Immacuiate Conception—had the honor of pre- senting to his Holiness a very elegant volume, tn large Varrege containing on parchment leaves and beautifully written in Gothic characters the text of the “Dogmatic Defluition,” tilustrated with vignettes by the talented miniature painter, Gioja, in imita- ton of tue illuminated missals of the quatoro cento period. The exterior appearance of the book cor- Tesponds to its internal beauty, its gorgeous binding having been executed in Paria. ‘The exccation of Monti and Tognettt has excited the most virulent accusations and rejoind be- tween the Italian and Pontifical periodicals. In Joul janguage it is difficult to say which journals are the greatest adepts, ‘rhe most extraordinary dodge on the part of the clericais is that of representing the two culprits as saints in their last moments. 1 quote the following expressions from the last number. of the Corres- pondarce de Rome:—“At the last moments Monit and ‘Nygnettt appeared transformed by repentance and penttence. ‘fhe hand of God was truly in this transformation—‘hor muiatio dextere Excelsi!” mney ed tye ca united So eve a AM nS SAVE es PUR EBA Seetts to have manifested himself in accepting the temporal expiation which Was to precede the eternal recom- pee, * * * Italy and hell have received a new defeat by the teathof Monti and Tognetth This de- feut, although purely moral, reminus us, we dare to afirin, of the defeat of Mentana.” Monti’s widow, & pretty young woman of about twenty-six, with her baby boy, has thought fit to abstract herself from tue too urgent protection of the Pontifical gov- ernment, aod bas succeeded in getting out of the dommions of his floliness into those of Victor Emanuel, to return to her relations at Fermo, One or two eforts had been made by agents of the goy- ernment to get her into a convent in Rome, but as she bad no vocaiion lor tiat secluded life she did not wait to be forced tnto it, but made her eseape at once, Of course she and Ler son will be well pro- vided for in lialy. A great deal of letter wal Pope be noise has been made about the { is sald to nave written to ecition, in the presence of twelve witne ong Whom were Koman princes and prelates. The Pope has sent the manuseript to tue Jesuit editors of the Cicilid Cattolica, who have re- prinied thousands of coptes. Mont! attributes this letter his rain entirely to having become a Free- mason. Connt Trantmanedorff, after presenting his cre- dentiais as Austrian Ambassador on the 30th ult, left Kome to rejoin the Countess and escort her from Germany to the Eternal City. Fuad Pacha was re- ceived im andience by his Holiness on the same morning as Count Trautmansdorf, and the tuter- view appeared highly satisfactory to both parties. ‘There buve been lately some very unpleasant tnter- fereuces on the part of the Dominican monk holding ihe office of censor of the press and ail public in- scriptions, with reapect to epitapis placed by Pro- testanta on the gravestones ol their defunct relatives or friends who are buried in the Protestant and schismatic cemetery Wil the Walls Of the Eternal Cty.

We have very long accounts from Compi¢gne, the guests of the third series having lef, and it is whis- pered that there will certainly be no fi/th batch of invitations, as the Empera is anxious to return to the Tuileries. One of his recent ests has iniormed sme how he divides his time at Compiegne. He rises yery early, and with the Ry Gad of one day in the week, which he devotes to hunting, spends his morn- in his stady until twelve, when he breakfasts. After this meal, which 1s his best, he walks out or rides, accompanied by an ald-de-camp. He re-en- ters his study at four, where he reads until dinner tme. This sanctum is close to one of the reception rooms in which guests asseiuble before meais, It is divided from these gay aud courtly adherents by a door, which opens twice a day, and punctually, for the admission of the Emperor and Empress, who thence proceed to the dining hall for breakfast and dinuer.

It was then proposed to strike out the salaries Of the Ambassadors at Darmstadt, Dresden, Hamburg, Oldenburg and Weimar. Count Bisinarck took partin the debate for the first time this ses- sion, assuring the House that it was the intention of the government ® transfer, ax soon as possibie, the Whole foreign diplomatic service to the budget of the North German Bund, With this end in view the whole matter would come under the early consideration of the next Reichstag and'be setted to the saisfaction of the House, A majority of the House decided in favor of charging—trom the year 1870—the expenses of the embassies to the North German Confedera- tion.y Before this was done, however, the demand of 11,70" thalers for the embassy at Dresden gave rise to an wniiated debate, One of the members main- tained that Baron von Beust—(voices, ‘Count von Beust’’)—has lost none of his animosity against Prus- sit—that would be contra naturam siti generis— and it would be desirable on that account, and = as nterpoise, to have an ein bassy there, Deputy Professor Kirchow thought that the Saxon democrats had some sympathy with Count Beusi’s well known liberal ten- aencies, and Prussia could at present profit by the example of Austria. Count Bismarck then observed that he could not well enter into a discussion on the were also to appiy the same prin- ciple to the thenian and Slowack dis- tricts of Hungary. ‘This plan was op- posed and successfully opposed by the majority of the Diet, in support ol the measure as pro| by Deak, Minister made a long and eloquent specch, at the close of which he touched upon a sub- ject lately ably discussed in the editorial columns of the HE&ALD, Damely—the relations of the nationality priuciple to the levelling and cosmopolitan tendency of nineteenth century civilization, It ix seldom that a Magyar speuks from so objective a +tandpoint in relation to his Own much-prized nationality as Eotoos does in the following passages:—"If I con- template the history of the world I see clearly that that man, who puts his nationality before everything else, cannot regard the progress of civilization without anxiety, With the progress of civili- zation .the number of the nationalities becomes gradually fewer and fewer. Or yore, at the first dawn of civilization, a nationality consisted of a few families. Ina part of Australia and America, na- tionalities consist even yet of only a few hundred members. By union and merging with one another they compose larger and larger nationalities, There- fore the progress of civilization is indeed menacing to the existence of nationalities, To this peril we Magyars are exposed, as also are our Croatian brethren, all the other nationalities of our Fatier- jand, and in a word al! the smaller nationalities tirougnoul the world. “tow are we, however, tojmect this peril? By em- balming every nationailty in a law, as if it were a mummy, and siowing it away in the vaults of the Jaw courts; in our century that which has no in- dependent vitality has no future, If we wish to Be- cure ourselves against the rising waves of civiliza- tion we must claiuber upto an eminence. The food covers the low land, but the leity clin towers above it for ages.”” The drift of these words, 1 take it, 1s that those nationalities that are not strong enough to con- tribute powerfully to the progress of civilization had better surrender to some great and prominent nation that is an Important factor of civilization, amalga- mate with tt and die out, and he seems to bint chat such inay be the fate of the proud, hi: le, and vy no means weak nationality of the Magyars.

Hon. Dr. Kirchow promised the Minister that when the Department of Public Instruction should come under discussion he would let him into the secret as to Prussia’s right to boast of an advanced liberalism as compared with Austria. ‘To-day’s sitting has been occupied with raking up some old disputed cases of credentials of no general interest, except to show that government had not shrunk back from adopting blamable measures for induencing elections im its favor. One of these— namely, press persecution—has been handled with the utmost vigor, and we find that during the three years from 1865 to 1867 there were no less than 860 trials. Adding to this 1,200 for the years 1862 to 1865, the years of the conflict, we arrive at the total of up- ward of 2,000 press trials, which, thanks to the efforts of the Attorney Generals, resulted in much tri- buiation to recalcitrant editors and ehdiess fines and imprisonment, A committee for the establishment of a line of steamers between New York city and Stettin met in this city last Friday at the mansion of Mr. KE. Von der Heydt. There were present Messrs. Hart (of Hart & Co.), Cutter, Cousul Muiler and Cap- tain Von St. Paul, the latter representing the Prus- sian marine, which pronase to aid the enterprise.

VIENNA, Dec. 6, 1868. The second session of that novel experiment in the art of government—the delegations—terminated yes- terday, after recelvéng the thanks of the imperial government for the work they had got through, and the harmony manifested between the two co-ordl- nate bodies and the speed at which the work was done. To commemorate the success of this second trial of the delegations Baron Beust has been raised to the dignity of count by his present sov- ereign. {may fairly be inferred from the above that the government's estimates were not very seriousiy cut down; and such is, indeed, the fact. The govern- ment’s estimates for the ordinary military budget am ounted to 75,424,000 florins, The sub-committee of the Reichsrath delegation cut this down to 67759,512 norins, and the War Minister hereupon declared that he could not hold bis portfolio with so scanty a pro- vision. The Plemum of the Reichsrath Delegation committee were not inflexible and voted the sum of 72,104,000 florins; the Plenum of the Reichsrath delegation itself were kinder still to the government and voted the sui of 72,892,000 florins, The Hunga- riwn delegation was yet kinder to the government, and the result was, when the two delegations entered into negotiations with a view to compose their differences, which they did by means of a written correspondence, that the ultrmate vote of the two delegations was for +602, or a paring down of about 2,500,000. The extraordinary army budget was ultimately passed just as the Hungariai delegation hat passed it, name! at the figure of 4,759,681—the government ing asked for 6,600,000 in round nant in the Reichsrath dete- gation the economists would have had more of their way but for the zealous assistance rendered to the government by the rep: house in the first pla from both houses in e second, Ladisiaus Czartoryski who led the the economical proposals of the coi delegation, in this way the Galician Poles claim that they are returning the imperial government good for evil; but although they gain credit with the government Itself they do not earn the blessings of the German-Austrian taxpayers, who find the ram- pant military loyalty of the Galician Poles too costly to themselves to be pleasant.

A speech of the Minister of War before the Reicha- rath delegation has created some sensation and even sent stocks down on the Bourse, The extraordinary budget contained among other tings a sum of money for the fortifications of Cracow. In the course ot his defence of this item he satd:— “We must not neglect anything which helps to secure Gallicia and the whole eastern boundary, for we are perhaps on the eve of very important events, and | must take this opportunity to jay the greatest weight upon the speedy constraction of the rail- ro which are intended to connect Hungary with Gaillicia, and of all thee lines | lay the greatest stress ou that strategic Ime which is to connect Pesth, Kaschan dad Przemyst.

Where would the American youth find his future con- solation in tha absence of the dried fruit of Malaga? By its fruit alone should Malaga be judged, because in little else has it claims on the attention of the world. I have said itis not the prettiest city in Spain, but if one views it from the blue Mediterranean or from the lofty summits of the mountains that surround it on almost every side It Presents some features of beauty. One day or other in the distant past there must have been a fine bay here frequented by Roman or Carthagenian traders and alive with the quaint craft of those early days. But the shore has rapidly encroached upon the sea, and in the memory of men now living where the beautiful Alameda is the waves of the Mediterranean flowed and small craft rode at anchor. The old Moorish citadel, now 200 yards from the beach and well in the town, was once en- tered by vessels of small size, which sailed through its elegant portal and unloaded their cargoes within its walls. Asitis there is but a little harbor left, protected by means of a small mole, behind which ships lie tolerably secure, moored stem and stern. The city fronts the sea, and beyond the huge cathe- dral that has come down from the middle ages there is-itue striking in it in the public buildings. On the lofty heights behind the town are the old Moorish fortifications, picturesque and imposing, with their towers and curtains and battlements, which are now being torn down, domineering over the place. Through the city flows @ mountain torrent, at times an irresistible and swift-fowing stream, phate sor 3 everything before it, but generally a prey brook, scarcely large enough to furnish water for the washerwomen who seem to inhabit its rocky bed. In the short valley through which it comes from the mountain are the summer houses of the Malaganas and the most delightful gardens of Spain in the summer. At present there isno excitement tn Mala; cept on the subject of raisins and politics, The sea- SOn for the former has about passed, and people will begin to pay more attention to the latter, as its sea- son has hardly begun in real earnest. The people cannot complain of the present fruit season. It has been an extraordinary one. The fruit has been abundant, of good quality and flavor and the drying season has been ali that could be desired. The crop is mostiy gathered and packed and already shipped. Over 1,700,000 boxes of raisins have thus tar been sent to the United States, and two or ships will probably find cargoes yet. America consumes over two-thirds of ali the raisins gi in this province the balance goes to every purt of the globe, England takes all the No. 1 fruit and clamors for more; the second Quality gocs there aiso and to the Continent, while the Americans consume all the third and fourd rate stuff, pay hand suinely for it and labor under the pleasing delus.oa that they eat the best, wnich is as baseless as other dclu- | and many other things to drink and eat. Probably ~ not boxes of sccond rate fruit are sent to the United States, and nota single pound of the best 13 seen there, except in the shape of @ preseat or a curiosity, The tirst grade of third quality raisins are sold in the United states as a choice article, but none of the genu- first rate raisins. The rasins cost he $1 30 to $1 SO per b ready for ship- ment. What they are sold for in the United States, at retail, | have Ho means of knowing, but probably the consumer pays very handsomely for the juxury. ‘The Malaga raisins are always packed in layers, the better qualities having sheets of paper between them, and are generally pretty carefully cleaned be! shipping.

They are cunning enough, these fellows, and may succeed while the masses remain ignorant, This and many other signs show that the revolution has but began, and that we ure yet to see bloody work and a reign of lawlessneas dreadful to contemplate, 1 hope some good come out of it, but we must expect a terrible trial.

The latter was famous for tte exquisite arch, in the horse shoe shape, which ts to be sent to Madrid. The building was immense and constructed in the most substantial and elegant manner, a8 are all the Moorish edifices. It was s great pity to destroy this monument of Arabic skilt and taste; but its strength and position made it of- fensive to the people, because in the hands of the soldiers it was a coustant menace to the town. For the same reason the ancient Moorish fortifications on the hill are demolished for the most part. A couple of convents and some churches are being ulled down, and they all give labor to a large num- _ r of men. In some respecis these municipal works are well enough as affording means of livelihood to the working classes, bus in so far as they have drawn from the agri- cultural districts’ large numbers of Tsons who have work there, they have been prejudicial to tbe general good. An immense quantity of fruit, and olives especially, has been lost because no labor could be obtained to gather it, as everyb in his new liberty, had rushed into the city to ms his fortune at once. This in turn reacts on the towns, which are borrowing money to keep these fellows at work and quiet. Tne economical situe- tion is bad, and becoming worse daily.

Itis ® sad alternative, but one that cannot be evaded. ‘The work done by’ these men is @ mere fiction, They feel that they are laboring for the People, and they will not bear any — pressure. flash of an Albecite blade is the answer they give to a foreman who threatens to discharge era they do not work with more spirit, and thas display generally ends the question. It may be safely said that three Spanish workmen on the publi¢ works do not perform the ordinary labor of one in- dustrious man elsewhere. They carry off the rub- bish in little baskets, holding a peck or more, a after dumping it out with great deliberation, cl with their hard-working companions, meanwhile calmly taking out their tobacco pouch and little book of cigarette paper, and carefully manufactur- ing a cigarette, on which they puff with a delicious air of studied ease and repose. They are never in a hurry to return to the heap of ruins to again fill theix baskets, and during their absence the energetic fel- lows, who so leisurely wield the pick, or immense hoe, which they use as a shovel, find time to light their cigarettes and compose themselves for a smoke, More than one-half of the time is consumed in this elegant amusement, and the balance is about equal divided in making cigarettes and attending to the superfluous labor, which the city pays them thirty cents a day. It requires an interminable series of loans to keep the peace in large cities, and the lenders are growing chary of their advances, They Will decline to lend after a while and then publi¢ works stop, and the cigarette makers will be pulling up the pavements, more energetically, I fear, for barricades. Cosas de Espana are queer enough to outside barbarians, and there is lit le use in attempt- ing to expldin any of them. Spain and Spaniards are unique, and ordinary rules wili not apply.

No compiete accounts of reven’ id expenditare that are perfectly reliable exist in Greece. There are ap anny, navy and civil lists stating the services aud the pay of those who receive the public money. Not a week passes that the Greek newspapers do not announce a job, and all parties in the govern- ment and the Chamber have hitherto opposed pub- licity and vetled as far ag possibie the detaus ‘of the public expenditure from the public. The British jovernment, with an area of expenditure encircling @ globe, publishes quarterly accounts; and the United States, with a territory extensive as all the empires on the continent of Europe put together, Se accounts of its treasury opera- tons. During King Otho’s reign the Senate and the House of Representatives allowed years to pasa without ane any accounts from ministers, and the financial habits of King George's government, though greatly improved, are far from being suM- ciently regular to be under the proper control of pubiic opinion. The revenue accounts of 1867 were not pnblished until near the close of 1868. The re- ceipts amounted to about £1,040,000 sterling and the expenditures to at least £1,200,000, leaving a deficit of £160,000, or upwards of twelve per cent on the whole revenue, An attempt was made to cover the ordinary a eee by the imposition of new taxes, but the attempt had proved unsuccessful. Had the expenditure of 1867 and 1868 been main- tained on the same scale as that of 1896 the object would have been attained. Tho year 1868 presents an alarming deficit, caused py the aggressive policy adopted by Koumoundouros and persisted in by Bulgares.
