Bome, the Syllabus and the Pentiti- eal Anathema, Earl Graqville’s Speech on the British Policy Towards Canada, By special correspondence and newspaper wall re- ports frow Murope we have the following important detatis of our cable telegrams to the 15th of Feb- Feary. In Londo @ porter at the India Honse, named Charles Nobbs, was charged at the Lambeth Police Court with the murder of his wife by throwing her from Westminster bridge. They were seen talking together, and the woman fell over the parapet into the river, screamed for assistance, sank but came up again, and then sank and rose no more. The evi- @ence 1s condicung as to how the adair happened. Scating on the ornamental waters in the London parks was persevered in, although the ce for the most part was rotven and dangerous. At the Round Pond, Kensington Park, there were two cases of immersion—serious oues—although the number on the loe was 3,000. At Regent’s Park there were 4,000, and there the immersions were more numerous, there being twenty slight cases and nine serious, In (St. James’ Park a gang of roughs made themselves e@xceedimgly disagreeable by larking and horseplay, wut they were punished by frequent immerstons. SLsteon people were so tar gonc that they had to be placed in warm baths and put to bed in the tents, and four received severe scalp wounds by Salis, There were about 3,000 persons on the ice, among whom were many children; aud there were no fewer than forty accidents, The Nord, of Brussels, of the 12th inst., speaking Of the state of the weather, says:— The cold has become so intense that on Thuraday morniug the thermometer marked gceuerally in Beigium ten degrees Centigrade below zero (fourteen degrees Fatrenheit), ‘ihe lakes, canais and ponds are frozen over, and skaters may now pursue their Occupation to thelr hearts’ content.

Picturo of a Pape-= Sevor Custelars Poltcy~A General Regie mental Duel in Prospect. MADRID, Feb. 10, 1870. It 1s reported that some time in March we are to bave another Carilst invasion, aud from what I can hear and see the report appears to have some trutn im it. General Martinez is now being tried by a court marisa! for having jomed that party and conspiring tooverthrow the present government. Not long ago Martinez wae Capiain General of Old Castile, but the government, finding that he was corresponding with the Carlists, relieved pim and put him upon the half. pay reserve, though the Gazette stared at the ume that he had resigned on account of ill-health. There was a great deal of animation in Congress uring the discussion of the ctergy estimates, which are being defended by the priest Deputy Manterola with no @muli amount of tact and energy. Sellor Barca spoke in the strongest terms’ st the esti- themselves by their profession. He went onto say That “the Pope was more unjust than Judas, more abominable than Pilate and worse than Lucifer.’? Seilor Ochoa rose and asked that the religion of the greater part of the Spaniards and the majority of te House should be respected, which appeal in- duced the President to cail Seior Barca to order. Seflor Castelar, in his able speech inst’ the estl- mates, did nis best to calm the troubled waters so Violently agitated by Sefior Barca’s rough attack, and in this be was completely succoselul. His ad- Gress was listened to with the greatest attention. Even nis political enemies would occasionally salute him witb rounds of applause, The expected duel between the republican deputy, Sehor Figueras, and Colone! Luque. 1s causing great excitement here. Many of the clubs have relused to allow the duel to come off till the accusation made by Figueras haa been sited, 1 hope the atiair ‘will be amicably arranged, for I hear ibat all tbe oMcers of Luque'’s regiinent are engaged to chal- lenge Figueras if their Colonel shouid fall, and tho clube have pvomised to do the same with the Colonel #f he kills Figueras, s0 that 1f blood once begins to ow it ia didicult to say when it will stop.

The Colonial Governmental System—Earl Grapville’s Speech the Policy Towards Canadu—Iudependenco or Annexation to the United States, In the House of Loras—as announced at the time Br cae velogram in the Hekato—on the Ith of briary the Earl of CARNARVON moved for copies of correspondence between the government and the Governor General of Canada and the governors of the Austraizan colomies respecting the reduction of | the ailitary forces stationed in those colonies. It was, he said, surprising that no reterence to the tm- portant subject of the colonies had been raade in the ‘speech from the throne. He regretted that the old Jealousy between those territories and England ap- red to be reviving, and commented upon the re- ent proposal to institute a council atmtlar to that of indiarfor the purpose of supplying the Secretary of State with information upon colomal matters—a Measure whica he considered neither feasible nor desirable, Earl GRANVILLE after potnting to the inconvenience of having to reply to a series of inquiries of which due notice 18 not given gaid—With to the #Bpeech just made 1 am periectiy ignorant of moat of the facts which appear to be krown to the novle earl, A comment has been made by the dobie earl ,O some policy Of My Own With resyect to the colo- nies without any exact definition a3 to what that “policy was. All I can say in reply 1s thall am not aware that the state of things described by the noble earl exist at the present moment, As your lord- slips are perhaps aware a circular or proposal had been issued by one of three gentlemen who had re- resented the colonies with regard to this question, That proposal was seut out to every self-govern- ing coiony M Connecuon with this couniry, At the same ume a short despatch giving my reasons why | thought the adoption of that proposal was ot desirable was also Sent out to the same colonies, Instead of greatdis- content, dissausiaction and irritation caused by Ule sending out of that despatch or by the policy of the government, auswers have been received fa- Vorabie to the views J took of the matter. Kven New Zealina declined to have anytoing to do with the proposed conference. By all of the colonial an- \horities who were communicated with has the pro, tof these Ceri been re- jected. um not aware that any one of our colonies bas anything like @ grievance against ua. ‘There are no doubt at this moment questions of greut duliculty existiug—sach as the transier of the Hudson Bay Company’s territories, wnich the novie earl opposite (the Barl of Carnarvon) nas said was Jorced upon the Canadian Pp shaman jangh)— and che iahery queswion. All these questions, I hope, Will be settied sausiactorily in the course of time. With rezard to the genera! relations of this country to her colonies, tough toere may be certain slight differences of opinion on small matters, it ts per- iectly impossible to ve on better terms with the gov- erniment of Canada. So satisiactory have our reia- ous bee with the Canadian government, that I aim convinced that they have the same contl- dence in me that | am disposed to place in them. Your lordsinps have been told that the present reia- tions of tus country with her seil-governing coio- Divs are not in @ sauisfactory position. 1 should like to know when they were ever 1a @ wore satisfactory position, I hope your loraships will not be ied away by the speeches made by the Renmannen who have been holding coniereaces on thia subject in Cea ad ha ae or by the hag coms that have been Inade im the newspapers irom time to time. dae hoble earl seems to think that the Great bond of union bewween England and her colomes lies ta her matltary. J cannot agree with the noble earl in that opinion. On the contrary, I beileve tue great bond of union lies in the establishment of @ iastung feci- ing of good will and friendliness between the colo- nists and tne people of tbe mother country. (Hear, bear.) 1 beleve that the policy of Keeping our colonies by force is an obsolete one, ‘fhe noble earl thinks it incumbent on us to pay for the support of troops in Canada in time of ‘peace. The government think otherwise, We have given the co.onisis ail timely warning that we consider the time has arrived when # new policy should be carried out. That policy is to leave u targe country like Canada, with a popula- tion of four millions, to take charge of its own de- fence in ume of peace. I thiuk that, with our marine supremacy at sea, We Way well do this, and nos m any Way cudanger our colonies. With regard to the question of the dismemberment oj the empire to whion the nobie eari referred, I druiy believe that at tus moment the great majoriiygof tue people of Hng- Jand, and a stil greater majority of the inhabitants of the Canadian dominion, desire that the connec- tion should remain, ‘That the withdrawal of threo or four thousand soldiers would destroy the feciing 1a favor of connection with England which exists, 18 more than! can believe. As for the suggestion made that troops should be kept in the colonies at tne expense of the colonists, but that Engiand should re- tain the command of those troops, | believe that no more fruitful source of disunion coud be established than this, I might say that the governmentare proud of the aominion which hus been recently formed in Canada, and that they have neitier tne desire nor the invention to sanciion anything which they may believe culculated to do it any injury. Jt bas been asked what the government would do in case of an invasion of Canada. { do not belleve that, with the exception of a few wretched, reckless men, Ameri- cans entertain elther @ wish or @ desire to acquire aay of the dominion of Canada. (Hear, hear.) The Americans, I believe, rely more on a friendly mter- clange of trade and a mingling of Engitsh wih American communities than they do upon conquest; that would convert a@ friendly and a useful nation inw an enemy. besides, it is not likely that the Americans would be much deterred in any action they determinea capoa by the presence of wwo or turee thousana red coats. ludved, these lew red couts are more to be compared to the custom of eucking up a red plaid to fnghten @ bull thav any- thing else. | belileve that the Canadian government well understand the motives wiica have actuated ber Majesiy’s government in this matver; that tuey are futly aware that the measures the noble earl has comptained of are not directed exclusively against any ove of the coionies in particular, but are measures Which it 18 intended to be applied to every one of ber Majesty’s dependeucies; and that this arrapgemnt is solely one w be putin force in tunes of peace, and not ineant to in the siigntest degree diminish the wutual obligations which exist between this country und her colonies, (Uneers.) Lora LYPELTON agreed with the Earl of Car. narvon in regretting that some of tne Colonial Secretary’s despatches had uot been couched in a more coucilatory spirit. Viscount MONCK could speak from sume practical experience of the state of fecling In Canada. He hiso an official connection with one of the colonies, and he had found many things there of waicn the colonists und England algo may weil be proud. He had listexed wita some interest to the speech of the novie earl opposite (the Hari of Carnarvon), and had to confess some of the suggestions thrown out rather surprised lum. The policy belug acted upon by the government of leaving tie colonists to pro- vide for their own defence in time of peace was the best that could be adopted, and would etiect much in the way of,creating @ proper organization fo tne new Canadian dominion, if a separation were to take place ab some future period it would be weil knowa that the colonists should be prepared for such @ possible eveucialtty, and that the separation should be effected wituout the establisumeut of any Ul-feeting between the colonies and the motuer country. ‘To provide against such an evenyuality aud to prepare the coionists for such a change tne policy which the goverament had determmed 10 carry ul was the best thas could be adopted, Phe sabject theu dropped and theis lovdshipe ad- Journed, FRANCE, ‘phe Panaticbem of Radicalicm—itow lt Rains Andustrigh Labor and Destroys Vonesti Peace. - The droadfal act of violence at the Ratignolics, Paris, by which @ police agent lost his life during the riots, when about to arcest the mechantc Mégy— as reported in the Heratp’s special correspondence trom the French capitai—tg not much remarked on says the Paris Gatignani, but the Constitutionnel declares that this tragical event suggests some melancholy reflectious, thus:— Here 18 au unfortunate workman, who op to the age of twenty-six was earning a liveiinood by honest dabvor.

AN OLD MATTER REVIVED. Not n Case ot Poisoning—Investigniion Bee fore the Coroner and Verdict of the Jury. ‘The somewhat noted case of Mrs, Mary Ann Dorr Clark, the lady who died at No. S44 West Fifty-tret street, on the 22d day of May last, was resumed ycs- terday afternoon before Coroner Fiynn at the City Hall. It will be remembered tuat after the remains of Ars, Clark had veen interred in Greeuwood Ceretery her siater, Harriet D, Riker, euspecting something wrong in connection with the mutter, made an afl- davit, in which she set forte ber suspicions that Mra. Clark had died of poison, and asked for an investi- gation. The body of Mrs. Clark was therefore disinierred, and the stomach, intestines, liver, kid- neys, spleen and other mrernal organs given to Pro- fessor Endemann, chemist to the Board of Healch, for analysis. The analysis resulted in finding traces of copper, but not sufficient to cause death. ‘The copper was only found im wwe stomach and intestines, while the liver and kidneys were frec from it. The Professor’s testimony was given some two or three months since, ana then the case was adjourned till yesterday, Asqjstant District Attorney Fellows appeared on behalf of the people and ex-Judge Russell for the other side. The District Attorney said he believed tne real object of this investigation was to ascer- tain the cause of death. Judge Russel! coincided With that view of the case. Henry T. Scarg M. D., who attended deceased after she waa taken sick, ‘was called and examined by tue District Atiorney, He testifled ay to tue nature of her symptoms, and in bis opinion death resulted from cefebre spinal meningitis. Mrs. Riker was called and examined by the Dia- trict Attorney, and testified that she was sister of deceased; was called after her illness and after her death; saw Mr. Garrett Clark, brother-in-law of deceused in the oasement, making out a certificate; he asked witness questions concerning deceased's age and place of nativity; the witess asked why be was ao particular in making his inquiries, when he replied it Was bo satisly the relatives in tie coun- try in case they should allezo deceased had been poiwoned. ‘The remainder of the witness’ testimony ‘Was not of special importance. Professor Endemana was called and testified to making an analysis aud to what discoveries he made, as heretofore given in the AeRALD. He found one-fifth of a grain of copper in the intestines; it wouid take 120 grains of copper to cause death. Mrs, Ada Gilassey testified that deceased was taken sick on Thursday and aled on Friday; sho com- plained of chills and later of pain 1 tue throat; de- ceased took lemonade and some grucl, and seemed to have tears that she might be sick; the witness had been in the employ of the deceased, who had Jost her husband some three weeks previous by blood polsoning. At this point District Attorney Fellows and ex- Judge Russel withdrew from the mvestigation, but betore leaving tke District Attoraey remarked to tne counsel that if there was not probatie cause to sus- pect from the testimony elicited that violence had been resorted to to produce death, thea there was no case and the prosecution must full, Under the charge of the Coroner the case was given to the jury, and, alior a short deliberation, they rendered the following verdict:—-Phat the de- ceased, Mary Aun Dorr Clark, came to her death by Mmentnglits, 28 irom the evidence nothing appears to cause Us to suspect that she died from auy but nata- ral causes.” There are some $3,000 or $10,900 Involved in this case, and the will left vy deceased will goon ba the subject of investigation before anotuer tripupal.

The *‘pro- gramme” arranged was that the cestre of the caucus ‘was that the Board in organizing the new force should appoint those peraous to positions who iad received tne nomination of the democratic caucus Prior to the memorabie night of “Catn’s backslid- 4ng” in the Council Chamber.

To Trig Bprror or Ti HEeRaLp:— The increase of crime of every grade and namo has attracted public attention of late, but noi 1 think as it should do, The administration of Jaw fails to suppress it, and the promineace given to it in the daily press tends to promote it by inspiring in depraved minds a mock heroism which makes them reckless of consequences, Hence the boldness with Witch mien commit murder, arson, assault and battery and crimes against life and person. And the proportion of those who fre arrested ond ponished for their crimes is very small compared to those who escape, It 1s natural, therefore, that aside from the ordinary interest which religious people takein the moral well-being of our city, There should be an Unusual Interest taken therein at this time, Amd i am glad to see by the HinsaLp of Tuesday, that the religious press, and especiaily the Methodist press aad people are waking up to the necessity of puttlhg forth greater and renewea efforts for the evangelization of tie masses ct this city. I perceive by your articic that the Methodist preachers bave had, for a few weeks past and sitil have, under dis- cussion this twnportant subject, and I would like, therefore, through the HexALy, which, I presume, they all read, Lo offer a fow suggestions to them on different modes of city evangeivation. AS a denouiination, the Methodists are undoubt- edly the beat orgauized reiigious body in this city to cope with its growing immoraitty. They nam- bors and weaith, and an aduurable church machinery to aid them, and, if they will, I Unk they may effect & relorm he The present modes and appliances of religious in- struction, by wuich, of course, this moral reform ts ty be elected, if at all, are:— 1, Puipit preaching on the Sabbath. 2 Weekly oF scmi-weekly prayer mbetings and exbortaviona, %. Class meetings—peculiar to Mevhodista, 4. Sunday schvoi efforts, & Bible and tract distribution. 6. House to house visitation and personal efforts. % Religious letter writing. ‘This last named, L regret to say, does not occupy ‘the same prominent position to-day in tne moral aud religious economy of the Christian Uhurch that itdid in the earher ages of Christianity, and unat 10 is entivied to, and 1 think that if it was exercised Toke frequentiy if truits would appear more abun- intly. 1 have not included in the above list religious papers, because they are read mainly by reilzious people and not by those whom we Heeb convert. Nor nave [ inciuded also religious advertisements pubiisaed tn secular papers, because they are issued only once a Week a3 & business specuiation, and are read only by sensation seckers and by city editors, Nevertheless these play a part in modern mouca of evangelization, but they are negative agencies, whereas the others are more or less positive m their character. Obristianity itself is aggressive, aad its agencies to be successful must be aggressive also, When they cease to be so they become practically ineflective, The majority of men are not naturaliy religious, nor mdeed religtously inclined, and if wo would have them so we must bring re- ligion to them. ‘his was the policy of the foander and of vane early preachers of Christianity. Modern Ohristianity buds tine churches, opel their doors and says to the people “Come.” Ancient Christianity or ancient Methodism did not pay so much attention to tie church edifice or the exterior forms of religion, but weat to the people wherever it found them and there preacned Christ and hia Teligion to tuem, And I thik the Savion Ha commission to Hid disciples to “Go into ail the world AU preach the Gospel to every creature” had very AiUe thougas oF Churea bulidings Coufortaply Lyre mishea ied with eloquent preachers, but 508 cope of mallUutudes tuto His fo.d. chureh edifices, imag poor; them avgolutely necessary to the Wellare of modern society; Dutt do condemn the custom of the sburch of im truss'ng 40 much to the services of the weuctuary and the external forias Of religion.
