EUROPE. Tho Bonaparte-Noir Tragedy and Radi- cal Revolutionism in France. MM. Rochefort and Ollivier in the Legislature, A Bonaparte Account of the Fatal Affray. IRISH RADICALISM IN THE PAPAL COUNCIL. The Gladstone Policy in Rome and American Interests in “ Scarlet Hats.” The Inman steamship City of London, Captain Tibbetts, from Liverpool on the 20th and Queens- town the 21st of January, arrived at this port yester- day evening, bringing a European mail report in detail of our cable telegrams dated to ber day of sailing from Ireland, Mr. Leigh Murray, che actor, died somewhat sud- denly in Engiand January 17. The young woman murdered by the Swiss porter im London stili remained unclaimed, nor has any oue thrown more light upon her identity.

Victor Noir. Parisians are already turning fheir attention to other matters, Prince Pierre Bonaparte has selected for counsel M. Nogent St. Laurens and a barrister from Bastia, The Prince, who, like many other good livers, 1s a martyr to thg goat, was suffering from that infliction when Victor Noir and his friend called on him with a hostile message from M. Paschal Grousset, The Prince consoles himself in prison with repasts supplied by Vefour, of the Palais Royal, who, a8 we all Know, can cook a good dinner and make a long bill. It is not right to prejudge the case, but there is a very general opinion abroad that the Prince will be acquitted, ‘The funeral has proved a source of diMeuity in the Marseiliaise camp. The ultra revolutiontsts have come toa split, M. Vermore! and M. Flourens (the latter was the gentleman who made so many at- tempts to turn the hearse in the direction tor Pere Ja Uhalse) find fault with M. Delescluze and Henri Rochefort for tnetr conduct at the funeral. fhe “arreconciiables” wish to put all law at deflance, although they would willingly avail themselves of a jury to shorten the days of Prince Pierre. The Mar- seflaise announces that whcu M. Paschal Grousset received an order to appear before M. de Lurcy, the Juge d’instruction, he replied as follows:— “We inform the Sieur de Lurey that we do not recognize the tribunal of the first or second instance; that we do not recognize Bonapartist jus tice, and that, consequently, we refuse to obey with our consent his order to appear.’’ It is needless to say that M. Pascbal Grousset has been arrested. He has thus saved his conscience. It 1s to be hopea thatere long the “‘irreconciables” will understand that it ta no longer with personal imperial power they have to deal, but with the country at iarge.. [ fancy we ure all more or less touched in the head, M. Grousset wishes to make himseif popular by re- fusing a jegal order; Gambon rofuses to pay tax for his cow. It 1s proposed that everybody shall refuse everything. If ube ‘‘irreconcilables” were allowed to have their own way we should soon become a muserabiy happy famuy. is ‘The demand made by the Procureur Général for permission to prosecute Rocuefort ‘is likely to prove A severe bone of contention.

The result of the proposed altera- tion will be that Aigeria and tue colonies will be represented in the Charaber. The “censure” ot books sold tp the railway sta- Uon has beea suppressed. The “censure”? of the theatres Is also abolished. When a theatre exceeds the convenances of society the Commissary of Police will interfere, The tieatrical managers will be henceforth responsibie.

A considerable crowd was assembled on the Pont de ja Concorde and tn front of the iron ratlings, but strong parties of police agents kept up tne cir- culation, and prevented spectators from toruung into a compact mass. M. Rochefort arrived by the Rue de Bourgogne, just before the hour Jor commencing, and secined perfectly calm. At two o'clock precisely the Prest- dent took the chair, the attendauce of members being unusually greaw. ‘The order of the day was the discussion on the demand for authorization to prosecute M_ Kochefort. M.

M, EMILR ‘ULLIVIER—Tho Chamber will permts me to disregard tn the observations which have just been made all that does not directly concern the question under consideration, as | merely desire to explain ta the Clearest and most succinct verms what the government requires. First of all, as to the princi- ie involved, there cannot be any discussion. You ve been told that 9 Deputy, representing the na- ion, 1s inviolable, alld the statement 1s perfectly correct; but, in the name of the committee, the re- ply is made that the law also cannot be vioiated, even by the representative who voted it; and tuere the uailirmation 19 perfectly sound. The whole matwr in dispute, therefore, 18 cun- fined to the pomt of ascertaining whetuer M. Rochefort can be reasonably considered as havi violated the law. The government has exp! its opinion, and the Chamber has now to examite, not if that view is correct, but if 1018 probable. MM. Rochefort uas declared, with a strahtforwardness which | admit at once, thas (he opinion of the masses as that the Cabinet nas desired to get ria of a trou- blesome Deputy, but shat he himself does not think so. He must allow me to tell him that, it he holds a seat in this Assembly, he does not owe that advan- tage to any Maladdress on the part of the govern- ment but to the clemency which bas been showo hum. M Rochetort would not pow be sitting here had be not been te object, first, of @ measure of amnesty, and alterwards of an exceptional privi- lege—hati he not been aliowed to come by Paris with a safe conduct in spite of @ condemnation ip com- mon law. M. Kocuerort—I had no safe conduct. (Exolama- tions.) 1 was arrested, but the bad effect of that act determined the authorities to lev me go. (Renewed tuarks of dissent.) f add that if | had been atti de- See ju custody, Ishould not the less have been elected. M. EMILE OLLIVIER—M. Rochefort ts quite he in thinking that the Cabinet does not cali for t peruusston to prosecute ta order to get rid of @ Dep- uty who has proved disagreeable; and | may add that tue government ie¢is no annoyance tu seeing him in his geat, or in hearing him speak, M. KochEFoRt—It {3 not woat 1 say here that ts feared, but what | may utter elsewhere. (Noise.) ‘The Munster of Justice has the objectionable custom of addressing me personally. Itorbid tim any such familiarity, (Loud lauguter from nearly every part or the Cl ber.) M. EMILE OLLivigR—Can the opinion whicn M. Rochefort does not entertain be held by the masses? Can apy one imagine tnat the present proceedin: are not actuated solely by a sense of duty to luifilea? No one can for ® moment suppose tne contrary, some persons have spoken of the state of mind m which M.

M.

Rochefort did not tind me there, and | regret it; for 1 shoula have told bim that the order whicn he sought had beea given aphour before. He announced tuat he would retura, but in place of doing 80 he went and wrote the article which has necessitated prose- cution, [ will not gay what that article really was, for 1 am not either judge or pubiic accuser; but 1 can pomt to what his friends and Dimself have said of it, Read the Aésorime of the 5 read the Marseiliaise of the same date, and the Réfurme ojvesierday—every where you will find that Mt.

A Bonaparte Domestic Account of the Affray. The Fra..ce, of Paris, to hand in Ireland, quotes from the Journal de Noes letter written by some momber of Prince Pierre Bonaparte’s family, which gives an agcount of the circumstances which at- tended the shooting of M. Noir. It says: About one or two o'clock, after lunch, the Prince Was sitting with bis wife by the fire in the Grawing roum. He was in hia dressing gown, having a ba cold, and was expecting hourly to hear from M. Rochelort. He said to his wife, “I shall be sorry if any one comes to-day, Lor with this cold on me it 1s not pleasant.” A servant came in and handed two cards to the Princess, who recognized the names from having seen them in the radical papers. The Prince gave @ iook, as much as to say, are tone Uhe visitors texpect? His wife nodded aiur- matively, The Prince said, ‘Have them shown tn here while l dress.” Tho Princess herself gave directions that these genticmen suould be lutroduced, and with- drew to her own room, which is on the other side of the billiard room and servants’ staircase. she was there with her children, liltle dreaming what turn the interview was about to take, when she Jancied she heard a shot and a@ noise of voices on the staim. Sue fancied the Prince had been shot, and was 30 agitated that she could not stir nor speak a word, Suddenly she hears tne voice of her husband, plucks up courage and goes to seek Imm, when she throws herself into his arms; he reassures her and immediately relates things as they had happened. When, on going out of the apartment, he lad entered the drawing room; the two persous who hud been ting for him stepped ap and hauded him a letter. ‘The Prince spproached the wiudow to read it, bat after having Cast bis eyes on the signature he sald, “But this is not from M. Rochelort?’’ M. Victor upon that ad- vanced towards him and said, in an insolent tone, “Read it all the same.” The Prince, crumpliug up the letter, answered, “Iva ailread. I am ready to fight Rochefort, not his cads |" At these words M. Victor Noir gave him a slap in the face, wulle M. Alric def’onvieille, woo kept Cur- ther oif, was levelling a revolver at him, probably to keep him (tne Prince) at bay and prevent his return- ing tne biow.

The Lnfallibility Question Discnssion—En- deavor to Return to First Principles—Na- tionalities and Divergent Views—English Newspaper Correspondence and Its Value— The Syllabus—Fenian Dificulties—Premier Gladstone and Archbishop Manning—A Car- dinul’s Hat for Westminster. Rows, Jan. 12, 1870. The partisans of infallibility want ali the questions submitted to the Council to be adopted per accla- matiwonem, Shey say that the Apostles did not dis- cuss much when the Holy Spirit visited them in the Canoculum; but the bishops from Protestant coun- tries ridicale such a notion. They say that they have come too far to ratify decrees without examina- tton and discassions that they consider themselves ag judges, like their predecessors, between society andthe Church, and that they will carefuily ex- amine and weigh every matter submitted to them before they approve or disapprove it. Many of the Italian archbishops and bishops, some French and German, are surprised—don't un- derstand the independence of some of the German, English, American, Canadian, and Irish bishops. ‘They can’t call them Gallican; they don’t know why they are so carefully interested in the matters sub- mitted to the Council; but tne bishops in Knglish- speaking communities have a different class of peo- pie to meet when they leave Rome to the Itailang and Spaniards, ‘The London papers pubiish the biggest yarns of any journals ip tue world about the proceedings and who spoke in favor of the measures under discus- sion. One paid a compliment to archbishop Kendrick the other day. It stated that he read @ speech from o manoascript with taste, care, &c. Tne Archbishop of St. Louls has read no speeca from anything. The other day he made an observation on # speech delivered three days before that occupied about five minutes but he did not read from a manuscript or from a newspa- per. All the stud about the Cardinal Archbishop of Prague is untrue. He 1s as dead against infallioility a3 tue Bishop of Orleans, and even more so; but he lacks the ability of Bishop Dupanioup to give his convictions force, What le lacks in brains he makes up almost in influence. The attention of the Council has been chiefly occu- pled with the questions of the Syllabus; pantheisn paturalism, freelovism, absoluce rationalism, lati- tudinarianigin, indiffereutisin, Communism, modi- fled rationalism, &c., have been denounced, but no one defended them. ‘The discussion of these questions has no interest for the English speaking bishops except a few who areon the record against Fenlanism. ‘fue Church has anathematized secret societies one tundred times, but till they fourish, and the con- demnation of the Fenians { don’t thik wiil take place as a distinct organization, but under the general head of secret societies 1 will receive @ slap over the back. Cardinal Cullen and Archbishop Slanning are busy at work to have the orgauization speedily mentioned, believing that @ thunderboit from the Vatican will have more influ- ence over the enthusiastic sons of Erin than a pas- toral from Dublin or London. Many of the Irish bishops, | am credibly informed, don’t think 1t neces- sary forthe Council to do any such thing; that Engiand is avle enough to protect herseif, and that she has never done anytoing to keep peace within the Papal dominions, and they don’t know what good even a thunderbolt from tue Vatican would do, Fenianism, they argue, 18 an offshoot of American rosperity, and the only way to extirpate it from eee isto Imake good lawa and rigidiy enlorce nem. it has been stated, but with what relation to truth J can’t state, that Mr, Gladstone has tad a long in- terview with Archbishop Manning before he left London on this question of Fenian censure, He has promised to use all his infuence with the Pope to have ihe order fulminated agatnst it, and one of the reasons assigned to nis Zeal in favor of infallibility is, that he may have a rousing tine curse hung at every Fenian in Ireland and America.

There is no doubt that Arcnbishop Manning, of Westruiuster, will be made a cardinal before long, but the dogms of infallibility mast be settled one Way or the ovher, 1t does not much matter to him, 80 far as his promotion ia concerned, how it goes; if defeated, he will be rewarded for good services; if snecessiul he will receive the prize of a wiumph. ‘There are many on cits about the balance of tne new hats, Last night I neard Archbishops Spalding and McCloskey were to have hats and stockings of the sume bright color, but 1 do not believe either of these gentlemen would accept such @ dignity.

Discovery of un American Revolutionary Ar- mament. A London paper of the 21st of December reports:— Considerable excitement has been caused in the military and civil circles in Sheerness by the dis- covery of a number of weapons and other articles of war which bad apparently been placed in three of the loopholes of the fortification which divides the island, separating the muoer and outer moats be- tween the two towns, for the purpose of being taken away by other person or persons; and as the wea- pons, &c., are of the same description as those used m the United States Army, the motive has been as- sigued to Fenianisin. It appears that as three men named Heury Keisey, John Deal and Frederick Piper were passing the spot in question about ten o’c:ock On Tuesday moraing, they noticed some- thing shining im one of tne loophoies. They examined the piace and found one pistol and & dagger, and upon @ further examination of the two adjoining luopholes they also found another pisto: and dugger, two boxes containing caps, one powder flask filled with gunpowder, one tin cal containing three-quarters Ol @ pouud of powder, an a buf leather cross beit witha biack leather car- tridge box attacned, Similar to that worn by the American army. ‘faese were handed to Bombar- dier Frazer, of the Coast Brigade Arullery, ana were suosequently given over io the care of Police Sergeant Noakes, who with his men have beea instituting a most rigid inquiry Wo find out by whom these weapons were piaced 4m the loopholes. One of the pistols is an old cavalry weapon, the handle of which is beauu- fully inlaid witn silver, but appears to be unfit for use, The other pistol is a more modern Weapon, and this was found to be loaded. It bore the name of ‘Bates, York.” A snail bowie kuife, with the makers name engraven, “Muson, Sheifieid,” bore the following inscriptions:—‘*ihe Americans ask for nothing but What 1s rigat, and submit to nothing that is wrong.” “fue United States, the land of the ireo and home of the brave,’ protected by uer noble and brave volunteers.” In the centre of these iscriptions 18 the American eagie, baving on each side the image of two sentries, with the todowing words underncath,—‘*Ready to defend.” ‘The other Kntie is what 1s called a dagger kulle, 18 a formidable weapon, and, from 1ts general appearance, appears to be simular to tuose Worn In wwe American army.

OLymMric THEATRE.—At this theatre Monday night was the first performance of the laughable comedy ofthe “Serious Family,” and the nantical farce of “The Spitfire.” In both pieces Mr. G. L, Fox wae the principal comedian. Mr. Fox is so well known to an Amertcan audience that itis only needful to say that he fully supported last nignt his well earned reputation. “The Serious Family” 1s a weil directea volley of sarcasms on the class of people who ignore the pleasant and laughable side of human nature, and the cardinal doctrine of whose life is an apt illustration that this “world is a waste, howling wilderness.” The sarcasm of dil this was well characterized by Mr. Fox in his Amtnadab Sleek, and he was thoroughly supported in this portraiture vy Miss Ida Vernon in Mrs. Ormsly Delmaine, and Mra, Edwara Wright in Lady Creamley. A little license must be given to a first night representation, but we shall be greatly surprised if this piece does not have a very favorable run of a good many ts. It 18 @ piece well worthy of the patronage nd we can promise those who visit eatre during its performance consideraple en- tertainment and instruction. The:nautical farce of “Spitfire” is a piece of very short duration, but the “make up” and the “scenic effect” are much beyond those which are generally found in spectacular plays. My. Fox appears in this also, and also Mr. Cuoningham and Miss Longmore, ali of whom are worthy of ali ine appiwuse they received. Musical and Thonatrical Notes, Mr. E. L.

An eloquent and truthtul lecture was delivered last eventug by Dr. Clarke on ‘Venice and the Vene- uans,” in the Alexandria church, corner of Eighteenth street and Seventh avenue. speaking of his umpressions in Venice, he said— Where are the people of Venice? Are they all asleep? Whence come the loud shouts of the gondoliert Yes, there it {s,a@ beautiful gliding structure. We get into it and sail down, gazing into gloomy but magnificent architectural edifices, Soon after we popped into a hotel, and traversed corridors walked over by noble patricians and alive with works of art centuries ago. As the lecturer and bis companion went through their notel a@ lovely Itailan girl carried along the halls a pan of coals on which she burned incense. They thought it was meant for such, but found it was intenaed to kill the usects. ‘The eternal sound of bells annoyed wem. Tueir landlord told them that ail the religion of Venice consisted in ono ring and harmony of bells, and they selt inclined to be- heve him. Of the architectural features of Venice, like aa tntelligent traveller, Dr. Clarke spoke in terms of the highest admiration. The city of gold and of doges he graphically described as first built upon a grassy, but boggy lagoon, almost floating upon the water. ‘Those wuo founded it had necessity for their tuspira- tion. Attila and nis ‘‘amiable" followers had drawn mtelMgence and commerce to this island city. For- tune, talent, art of every kind, particularly paint- ing and sculpture, sought tnis amphibious city and found in it a home. But all classes came. Rich and poor were welded together and formed the solid ana a@tand foundation of one of the proudest republics on which the sun ever shone. The finest qualities of these many-giftea people were cemented by hard- Ship, by that tribulation which, aecording to indubi- taple authority, wlone gives understanding, The lecturer here traced in simple but genuine eloquence the growth of the Venetian republic. The glowing fire of democratic patriotism and the quar- rely it engendered with the aristocracy of wealth and political power he described in a few sentences, as picturesque as they were true. Then passing on to the Crusades, Venice shone out glortously as at once the graud pioneer of civilization in the direc- tion of the East, and at the same time the natural centre of the.chivairy of Europe in the movement to crash, at the same time, the insolent Saracen spirit and the licentiousness of the mere Turk. Venice had been a lignt to Europe. She had been & nursing motuer to poets, patriots and artists; she Was the mistress of the seas; she encouraged litera- ture and philosophy. Beauty was a charm—a miracle in the queeniy city. What, then, led to her decline and fall? Luxury and effeminacy. The eftorts of Marco Paulo, scainger, Co.umvas, Tasso, Paul, Veronese and the great Canova have all been given to the glory of Venice; but, romantic as & maid, this magnificent city yearly celebrated its espousals with the sea and went mad in its reveiry, but neglected the permaneat fruits aud truths of art, literature, science and commerce. And thus did Venice the beautifal sink down to the Jevel of a fifth rate city, glorious im noting but in the splendid relics OF the past.
