The railways have been blocked up by the snows, and Mont Cenis has been almost im- passible, except for those who make up thelr minds to pass twenty-four hours in the ascent and descent, For this reason, perhaps, we haye as yet no over- flow of strangers here, and the owners of the appar- camenti modilati (farnished lodgings) have them still on their hands, Tcan vouch for thia, having spent two days in climbing stairs with a friend from Flor- ence, who proposes to bring his family here for the winter, Doubtless in December, when travelling becomes easier, we shall have plenty of Jorestiert (strangers), and among them American faces, strange and familiar, but all of them pleasant to see, for those who, like myself, are obliged to lve far from home and country, without ever gettlug accustomed to it, The D****, of New York, have just arrived, the youngest daughter having been lately married in Paris to. a French gentleman without title—M. Diit*+eet*, This lady was engaged 4 year since to Prince Ruspott’s eldest son. The Roman ladies were allindignant that an American girl shonld carry off one of their best matches, and the family of the young Prince, notwithstanding the lady’s handsome dot, were also opposed to the match, Knowing only the sweet face and charming qualities of the future princess, as we then thought, we considered the young man most fortunate, when, all of a sudden, we heard the marriage was broken off and all sorta of versions were afloat. I believed and still believe but one—that our young countrywoman, not satisfled with the cold assent given to the match by the Prince's family, followedy by treatment equally cold, herself broke off the engagement. Tnever can (or, at least, cannot always) vouch for the exactitude of any political news from Rome, un- less I extort it from my diplomatic friends, who, of course, try generally to be as mysterious as possible. There {8 no publicity here, for the two newspapers published every evening in Rome, the Giornale di Roma and the Osservatore Royano, which might just as well not exist, As far as Roman news is concerned, one might pick up what is going on in the cafés and in the street. I heard last evening that the Pope (which means Antonelli) had deter- mined to secularize the place of President or Gov- ernor of Rome; that Monsignor Supi will be ex- changed for Duke Salviati, the brother of Prince Borghese, There are three brothers of this family all belonging to the party called “nero” (black, or clerical), The Italian pa are foil of M, de Ranne- vill, the French Ambaasador. The government 1s evidently afraid that he will be on too good terms with Pins [X. L'Italie compares him to Mme. Rayneval on ac- count of his well known religions principles, and reminds him of the mistake made by the former Ambassador, whose despatches were all ‘couleur de rose’ when speaking of the Roman government, and which made every one here who read them more than smile. It seems that Banneville has paid into the Pontin. cal Treasury & sum of 3,000,000 francs on account of the debt, which Italy has accepted and of which a part will still be owing. This sum was iirst paid tn Florence to M. de Villestrent, French Charg: d' Affaires there, and was brought to Rome by M. de Lardencl, one of the secretaries of the French Legation in the | capital of Italy. Cardinal Antonelll, Iam told, has acknowledged the receipt very cleverly, without mentioning the Kingdom of Italy nor what the debt is—two things which at the Vatican they affect to ignore. M. de Bannevilie has been received in private audience by the Pope as Freneh Ambas- sador. As soon as his house is in order and Madame de Banneville arrives the sicevimenio, or public audience, will take place, of which I will give you a description. Count Trantmansdorf, the new Aus- trian Ambassador is expected daily, T hear. The Memorial Diplomatique announces what we all know already and which the very fact of an ambnas- sador being sent at all makes evident—that his tn- structions are most conciliatory. The paper adds, however, that the Austian government, although quite decided in no way to encroach on or in any wane meddle with the prerogatives of the Church, as far as dogmas are concerned, reserves to itself the right of sustaining all that has to do with what is Berets Political—in short, with the civi! rights of the ie. ‘The unfortunate criminals, Monti and Tognetti, the Perpetrators of the crime committed in October of 1867, were executed this morning at half-past six. Pius the Ninth has had the sv aig lying on his table a month, and only ordered them to be removed two days ago. According to traditional custom the Popes never sign the sentence of death; but if they do not sign the pardon it amounts to the same, as in this case. There is no doubt that the crime was worthy of death, unless this way of punishing be abolished, They had placed gunpowder under all the caserns in town, but only fired ong christort, pet, of the Zouaves, killing not more than thirty- three persons.

What is quite certain is the arrival in Civita Vecchia (all sents from Belgium and France) and during the last Month, of 4,000,000 of cartridges and 8,000 guns, and that to-day are expected 200 cases more of ammnu- nition and fifty next Sanday: #0 you see we imitate our neighbors here and arm in time of peace.

E. GLADSTONE. The Newspaper Postal Systems of Knziand and the United States Compared. {From the London Times, Dec. 14.) ‘There 1s one branch of civilization in wh.ch the Americans have undoubtedly set an exampie,to the world. They appreciated mote promptly «nd sore compietely than any other nation the advantage to be gained irom spreading tnformation as widely as possible amiong the people. Ji may be open to whether their se system ad has been sometin be little disdredit to them if it were not, ¢ that it was'the first scheme of the kind ev structed, But, at nil events, they can clit honor of initiating the idea of ‘universal educa- tion, and of recognizing the necessity of popular instruction as @ foundation for popular government, This wide diffusion of knowledge created, of conrse, a large demand for constant information, and, in consequence, the newspaper system was developed in the United States much more rapidly than among ourselves, and has far more widely extended. Here, again, It would be pardonabdie to donbt whether their journals: reach the standard attained in this country, Bot any article of use that becomes very common and very necessary is liable to be produced 1 ereat haste and with less regard for solidity, A newspaper of some sort has long been a dally necessary to every class in the United States, ‘and the demand has been more than met so far as mere nombers are concerned. Some remarks of our American corre. Spondent on ye drew our attention to a still further ‘spread is ever-widening ctrele of in- struction, and indicate another polit in which we may take a lesson from our Kinsmen. When tha printing press nas done its work there is onerthing still wanted before the work can be uttl ized, The book or the newspaper must be distrib. uted, The process of distribution is just a3 essen- Malas the muitiplication of tig and is, in tact, the nataral complement of that multiplication. ‘The various agencies of civilization are perpetually reacting upon each other and can only be developed simultaneonsly. An active newspaper press would be impossihle without railways. The public, per- haps, have little idea of the energy and the orzaniza- tion which are required in order to plage a ¢ their morning jonrnal on their breakfast table. task of distributing the daily papers over London and to the various railway stations constitutes, In fact, an immense business, requil a high order of manacement. Moreover, when all 13 done that private enterprise can undertake, there remains an immense area over which the informa- tion of the press must be spread, if spread at all, by other means. No private firm wor undertake to deliver daily papers in villages, or to trans- mit them to subscribers in distant country districts, Newspaners can only reach such places through the Post OMice; and here it is that the Americans have made a great advance upon our system. The government regards it as a duty to facilitate the cirenlation of newspapers in every possible way, and this 1t does most effectually, First of all. in the United States the local newspapers are a principal source of information between distant districts. ‘The newspaper offices, therefore, have established a regular system of “exchange papers.’? There are few American editors, says our correspondent, who do not exchange thelr paper with seve- ral hundred ‘contemporaries, Now, the United States government actually carries all these exchange papers free of cost either to sender or receiver. It is obvious that this must be an enor- mous tax onthe government, but it is equally ob- vious how immense a boon must be conferred on the pers. By the aid of the government the daily Ife of every town in the Union is reflected in almost every other town. The government itself supplies the link which unites San Francisco to Philadelphia and New York, and thns insures a perfect understanding between all parts of its vast territory. Nearly equal facility is afforded for the distribution of papers to individuals, ‘The ordinary tariff, instead of being a penny or more for each newspaper is but a penny for four ounces, #0 that half a dozen newspapers may be despatched in one packet for a single penny stamp. But besides: this, if'a man subscribes toa dally newspaper the Post OMce grants him a large commutation. For about five pence @ month, or little more than a penny A week, he can receive his daily journal post free. ‘There are many other facilities for which we must refer the reader to our correspondent’s letter; but the result is that the newspaper offices enjoy the greatest possible facility for mutual information, and have the whole service of the State at their dis- posal for distributing their impressions. Compare this with our own system. By far the freatest part of newspaper transmission is per- formed, a3 we haye said, by private enterprise, with the aid of the rat!ways. ‘The Post Omice, indeed, transmits newspapers, but at such rates and under guch conditions that it would seem the object to erform the least possible amount of service at he greatest possible expense. To @ country sub- acriber who receives this journal by post, its cost 18 Increased by one-third, and the price of a penny paper is of course exactly doubled. Besides this there are so mi elaborate regulattons to be observed in directing, and even in folding, a news- paper that slight inadvertences aye constantly ex- nosing ua to fines and delays, The Post Office, in fact, furnishes not the simplest. but the most ex- years and most tronblesome of all our means of ransmission. Now we do not venture to suggest that the example of the United States should be oompletely followed. There has been a general un- derstanding of late years that the Post OMce must be mae to pay; end even in utilizing it for so valuable a purpose as that of the Savings} Banks Mr. Gladstone thought it necessary to insure that no expense should be imposed on the public. There may be room for donbt whether wider views of public advantage would encourage this serupnious economy: but we need not question it at present. It shonld certainly, however, be a matter for careful inquiry whether the present high rates of postage and troublesome restrictions are necessary to secure the ofiice agalast loss, If the post could be more largely used_ for newspaper transmis- sion an tncaJeulable benefit would be conferred on the country. In proportion as we have extended the franchise we must extend the means of using the franchise intelligently, and it m: me & question whether we ought not, even if it did not “pay,” to bring the means of political information more within the reach of all classes of the peopte. ‘The time is near at hand when the Post ice Wil be very closely united with the new: press, Within a few months, in consequence 8 acqui- sition of the telegraphs by the government, wo Bhall have to depend upon the office at St. Martin's-le-Grand for all our telegraphic news. Unless this business be performed in a very different spirit from that which bas as yet been shown in the work of transmission the pubilc will suffer greatly by the change. The telegraph 1s now a8 much a part of a newspaper as the printing press itself, and it will be the business of the it OMca authorities to bring themselves in harmony with the press, and to con- sider in the first place, not their own convenience, mx th eae of the public, ; Mie Dollere “indeed, at with judicious ent the supply 088 demands can algae ede S pay, and it shonid the business of the office to discover, in each case, r accomplishing those two ends simul- taneously. In the management of the televraphs they will be absolutely compelled to undertake this task; but they might usefully consider the other subject to which we have here called attention. The Post OMlee will soon be one of the chief agencies for the transmission of news. Conld it nof be rendered also one of the chief agencies for the transmission of newspapers? IRELAND. Farther Particulars of the Loss of the Hibere nin—Arrival at Londonderry of the Missing Bont. STATEMENT OF THE SRCOND OFFICER. The Glasgow Herald publishes the narrative of Mr. Davies, the second officer of the Hibernia, who had such # marvellous escape in one of the ship's boats. He rays:—“When we left the Hibernia we had in our boat two barrels of biscuit, three casks of water and several tins of preserved meat. Two hours after leaving the ship we found tne boat waa'so fall that we deemed it mecessary to throw one of the barre's of biscuit overboard to make room for the passengers. The boat was a lifeboat, twenty-two feet long, with six or seven fect \eam. One woman had two children, of three five her old, Teapectively, and another infant of six months old, Our boat wi leaking badly when we started, and it required two men con- stantly bailing to keep her a‘loat. Soon after leay- ing the Hibernia we fell astern of the other boats, being only able to I} two oars, owing to our crowded condition. When the first mate’s boat was capsized we attempted to ge! around to assist them, bnt being nearly swamped in doing so we were obliged to attend to our own safety During that day we pulled before the wind, wut at night we lay to by means of a floating anchor, and endeavored to make the boat as trim as possible. We tried to make the women as comfortable a3 we could by spreading tarpaulin over the forward part of the boat. Nobody asked to get anything to eat the first day, all being too anxious to think of eating. On the following (Thursday) morning we gota lujrsail set ongne boat, and mado the best of our way for the Irish coast be- fore a southwesterly breeze, Nothing of note occurred that day, but the follow- ing nigit (Friday) an old man who had shown toms of derangement jumped Overboard, sayitig he was going to bed, On the third day the breeze fell very light and we had to take to the oars, Next morning one of the passengers, supposed to be Fran cis Rodgers, suddenly threw simeetf overboard. A Woman, supposed to ve nis eistor, pleaded bard that some of us should throw her into the sea after him, but we endeavored to soothe her, and sus ceeded in some degree. Rodgers was evidently out of his senses. He had quarrelied witi us because we nalied the compass to the thwarta, He wanted the knees of his trousers darned, as he “could not,” he said, “go home with holes in them.” Uo so tals time provisions had been given iv monerate avanttties® and Sech person had @ dma. allowence cia pint of water, » had now to suoremthe allowance.

Early on Thursday morning a child five of died, and shortly afterwards its expired. Anotter child took lockjaw and died also. The boaies were thrown overboard. The effect on the survivors was very visible, All this time we were making slow progress towards the Irish coast. ‘The torn tarpaulin had been mended in the best fashion we could and served in a kind of way for a lug- sail. Provisions and water were now given fh small quantity, One of the barrels of bis- enits was found to be much soaked with sea water, and one of the fresh water casks had leaked half of ita contents. We had, to disregard the appeals for drink, and the consequence was that several seamen among the rest took to quenching their thirst with salt water in spite of our remonstrances, This was continued until a number t perfectly mad. Walter McFarlane, fireman, was one of those who persisted in taking salt water, and his conduct became so dangerously outrageous that he had to be tied to the bottom. He died tn this state, On Friday morning we had sailed 450 miles. The tar- pawmin sail had given way half a dozen times, and as often mended, aad on the whole the boat had gone very well. This day the infant died, Our situation had become miserable in the extreme, The sea was breaking over the boat in clouds of spray, wet- ting every one to the skin, and all were sitting in pools of water. There was nothing now to cover the women, a8 we had used everything for sails, Cramp had seized all of us more or fess, and our legs and hands were tly swelled, and, consequently, very painful. The fresh water was 80 scarce that Jess than a pint had to serve four persons for a day, and provisions were equally scanty. Some of as were raving and violently mad. A woman died as the evening closed in, but the fact was nottuoticed at the time, and the y was still in the boat when the greatest of ail our calamities occurred. About eleven‘ o’clock a heavy wave struck the boat, and those on board in their drowsy condition falling suddenly in @ mass to the lee side, she went over, and all were left stroggiln in the water. The boa floated upwards and Reilly managed to struggle up and seat himself on the keel. He assisted Blatr to get up, which the latter did with some diMiculty, as &@ drowning pesmengee had laid hold of his leg. Reilly then assis Mr. Davies, who had also to shake himself clear of some one clinging to his foot. No others got hold of the boat than th several were heard for@ time shouting or swearing as they swam about in the darkness, One poor soul had t under the boat, and he was heard for nearly alt an hour, He was apparently holding on by the thwarts, and breathing the air which had been en- closed when the boat rolled over, or which reached him through the chinks in her timbers. About twelve o'clock a heavy sea struck the boat, and the three who were sitting astride’ of the keel were again immersed in the water. Blair was the first to recover his position, and by his assistance the other two men wrought up on tho boat, The sail was floating alongside, and we got hold of the ropes attached to the mast; and, watching tor a favorable opportunity, managed, ay pulling upon the ropes, to get the boat righted. She was, of course, full of water, and we bailed her at first with flat pieces of wood and afterwards with two tin cans which we found attached to the thwarts, At length, by hard labor, wé got her clear. Ever; Was loat out of the boat except one oar, the mast, the tarpaulin sail and the yard, and we were thus left without pro- visions or water. When daylight broke we again made sail upon the boat as well as we could, and again steered our course to the eastward with a fa- abe eae a : y Sunday evening we were begininng to get down- hearted. We saw a sail—the first we had Seen—but she did not observe us, and darkness shortly after- wards closing in we had no light with which to at- tract attention, We were downcast at this, but about six o’clock we were suddenly cheered by see- ing a light to the eastward, which turned out to be from Tory Island lighthouse. We made for the light, though it was blowing strongly from the southwest, with a heavy sea running. On getting close to the land we found ourselves among dangerous breakers, and were forced to make our Way out again to save our lives, We ran out some five miles and brought to to walt for daylight. ?

Questions of the relations between Church and State, of voluntary contribu- tions in support of religious institutions, of dises- tablishment and disendowment, have been kept up- permost in men’s minds, while another and far graver question lies underneath—namely, the as: cendancy of Papal aa in this country.

The Eastern Question. {From the London Evening Post, Dec. 8.) The demands of Turkey contemplate no more or less than an honest adherence to the terms of a treaty to which the protecting Powers are parties. How will the respective governments act in the Busi- ness? It is stated, and with obvious justice, that more than two years ago, when Greve first began to meddle in the affairs of the Turkish dependencies, the European Powers ought to have entered an en- ergetic protest. Had this been done promptty we, should now be apare the revival of a question which, whenever it is brought on the tapis, becomes the subject of great differences of opinion and very Serious embarrassment. Unfortunately, we have not yet altogether exhausted the narrow-minded and pene spirit which possessed our ancestors, There is something tn the antagonism of the Cross and the Crescent which revives the old religions and racial prejudices, and, a8 @ matter of fact, if we are not prepared for a new crusade, our sympathies are by Do means as strong or as generous towards the Turk as they are towards the Christian. Then, acain, there is something in the classic name of Greece which, even against our better judgment, kindles a flame of sympathetic enthusiasm. A government fulmi- nating mischief from Athens is not nearly as likely to be visited with its deserts as though it dated from Bucharest. Human nature is the same in the coun- cil chamber as it isin thedibrary, and it cannot be denied that influences which have no place in the Political system, and which could not be serlonsiy recognized, play @ part in the affairs of every State and produce results in no sense justified by their character. Deeply grounded prejudices on the score of gellfion, and no less potent, Aipngh unconfessed prejudices, with respect to race, impair the percep- tive faculties and pervert the judgment of European statesmen; and hence it is that under the protection of Powers, neither of which could approve or even tolerate the course of conduct pursued by Greece if only it were to take the matter into serious consideration, the Hellenic government and its beop le are permitted to assail the Ottoman authority Crete and to play a part which is treacherous in itself and perilous to the peace of Europe. If anything is to be done in the matter there must be no delay. A war in the Kast would bea calamity, the extent and severity of which it 1s impossible to forecast. There is not a Power ofthe first magnitude in Europe which may not be embroiled if some step ig not immediately taken with a view to arrest the pre ss of events which are following each other with the greatest rapidity. In Roumania remonstrance seems to have been of signal service. The govern- ment of King George may not prove so amenable to reason as that ot Prince Chérles, but the experiment ought to be tried and promptly. A collective ex- pression of opimion, distinct and final, by the pro- tecting Powers might even now be effectual and avert the catastrophe which appears tmminent, Had an energetic protest been entered in the earlicst stage of Greek intermeddiing it is probable that the induence of wise counsels would have been greater andthe peccant Power more responsive to moral suasion than now. Two years’ industrious wrong- doing. has doubtless produced its chi ristic effects on the sensibility and conscience of King George and his evil advisers. Moreover, the inces- sant, and to a serious extent successful, promotion of conspiracies in the Turkish dependencies has com- mitted the government of Greece to a particular polly: which it is dificult to abandon, while the tile attempt to defeat those underhanded manceu- vres has enfeebled the authority and impoverished the resources of the Sultan. ee George and his counsellors are cognizant of these facts, and it is only natural that they should tend to strengthen the ter purpose of an aggression which of course has for its atm the reduction, and possibly even the over- throw, of the power of Turkey. Tt is impossible to fix limits to an unreasoning lust of power, such as that which the government of Greece hasmantfested. It is therefore possible that a Tremonstrance, to be effectual in this late stage of the affair, must be of the strongest possible descrip- tion and of the nature of an nitimatum. Clearly no juropean Power which has any claims to self-respect can allow its name to be compromised by the misconduct of Greece. With respect to that con- sideration there can be no cause for misgiving. The danger, and it is as well to face it, lies in the contin- gent possibility that at this stage of the revival of the Eastern question’ it may occur to certain of the European Powers which are not jcalarty happy in their domestic conditions that a disturbance in the Bast would serve asa diversion, and, as they have so long abstained from interference in the quar- Tel between Turkey and Greece, they may be tempted to abstain louger, until, plunging into the midst of @ fray with which will disciaim all previous connection, they may find their account and avert worse troubles at home. It is neediess to say that such conduct on the part of any State, though it has opty of precedent, would be most unworthy. Now the time for action, and if the diplomatic infin- ences at work are skillfully and promptly brought to bear on the question the necessity for more seri- ous and expensive arbitration in the interests of peace m: e@ obvinted. While we write news reaches us that the Powers who are intervening in the interests of peace between the governments of Turkey and Greece have induced the Sultan to defer to arms until tno 12tn inst., In order to George and his counsellors time for re- is course is Le fi ge on the part of Turkey and will redound to her credit. Moan- while it will be incumbent on the Powers, at whose solicitation she has conceded thts respite, to see that her interests are not injuriously affected by the act of leniency. ‘The French Press on the Pending Qrestions.
