are being extended beyond their legitimate Umits, and Eouador suffers in consequence. It 1s only natural that such a proceeding should give offence and cause alarm, but from the fact that Peru has been requested to name a commission to regulate and fix the proper boundaries between the two republics we feel éatisfiod that Eouador will not let the matter pass unnoticed. What about Brazil? Is this another of its schemes for enlargement? Is gradual absorption the policy of the Ameri- canempire? It looke like it, and it behooves all the South American republics to be on their guard, Pho Sicuation in the Old World—Humanity as It Presents Itself in Europe. By the European mail at this port during the past two days we have important and highly interesting details of our Old World news advices by cable to the [8th of March. They come in the shape of special correspon- @ence and newspaper reports. The narrative which was commenced in our columns yester- day Is continued to-day, It ig of a very varied character, and furnishes ample food for reflection to the educated, unprejudiced mind of America. Our special writer in Lon- don presents the most important, decided and interesting features of the résumé in the able \ communication ian which he again chronicles | the national march of the people ot Great Rel- tain towards the attainment of a republican form of government. In this letter he intro- duces to the American people the aristo- democracy of the British nation, as mar- | shalled under the lead of the young Earl of | Derby, {n its endvavors toreconcile the pecrage i with the popular demand for reform, and thus, if possible, save the institution by toniag it down toa harmonious and patriotic com- minglement with tho uphoaving and rather turbid wave tide which swells from the manu- facturing districts and from Ireland towards ita still slippered feet. This letter comes in valuable coutinuation of those on the same subject which appeared in the Heratp on the 9th and‘22d inst. The Mordaunt divorce had been again before Lord Penzance in Chamber The Enzlish lawyors wero still engaged with | the Kelly divorce case, and the House of Lords was favestigating the oxtraordinary claim which has beon made to the Irish peer- age of the earldom of Wicklow. The Godrich divorce suit was also before Lord Penzance, that able jurist, after having decided the case | of Lady Mordaunt and vindicated the honor of the Prince of Wales, being called on to say what disposition should be made as to the care and custody of the children of the Godrich marriage. The infants were hid away, how- ever, by a romantically inclined governess, whose obstinacy of evasion was overcome only by the exercise of great judicial ekill, combined with much suavity of manner. The Papal infallibility question was plainly and pointedly before the French Cabinet. Wo | are specially informed by our writer in Paris that it constituted even there a perplexing and embarrassing topic. Count Dara holds the opinion that France is not enfitled to a lay in- terference in the subject, as it constitutes one of religious belief solely. This ministorial position produced some flight discord in the Emperor’s Council. The Pope sent along a threat of excommunication against the Tuil- erles, the Jesuits were bringing forward old | parchments relative to Church rights, the Emperor Napoleon was anxions for the dy- nasty, and ‘‘charity” and “‘hopo” and “faith” were being rapidly dragged underneath on the Continent by the grand Romo-episcopal undertow. The clerico-executive crisis in Paris was on all hands exciting, if not serious, To add to the gravity of the occasion ® copy of the Papal schema was published. We reproduce the document to-day, but asa matter of history only and by way of contrast- ing its mustiness with the sparkliog vivacity of She verbiage of the new City Charter of New York. Austria, Spain and Germany present distinct and separate features of reaction and of progress; so that we hear of moral- ity, orlme, death, love, the fever of unquiet with the situation .n life, ambition and immo- fality at once, and In such a surprising admix- ture that It almost forces o reiteration of the exclamation, ‘‘Mau’s a phenomenon” and wondrous beyond all wondrous measure !” Tnx Bisce ws Coneress.—Mr, Arnell was imprudent enongh to propose a resolution in the House of Representatives yesterday, de- Olaring that the use of the Bible in the public schools was wise and proper and ought to be encouraged. It is no doubt wise and proper enough in Protestant scuools, but in public schools, where the children of J-ws, Catholics, Swedenborgians and Gentiles of all descrip- tions attend, morality and virtue can be fos- tered without impressing upon these youthful minds the doctrines discountenanced by their paren's, In Congress, however, the use of any book that will foster morality is to b highly commended. - Tux Sart Lake SAInts are excited over the passage of Culiom’s Anti-polygamy bill in the House. They held a meeting recently and claimed that Utah would be desolated if the bill became a law. Several of the Mormon speakers at the meoting argued (hat a liberal policy on the part of the government would arrest polyg- amy in the future, It strikes us that these aged polygamists are very liberal in guaranteeing that their posterity shall marry singly. Do they comprehend even more clearly than Congress the irresistible influence of the railroad on the dark doctrines of their sect? True as GospeL—The King of France, with forty thousand men, came down the river and then went up agaia; and Tweed said to Genet, “Thou art the man!” Taxina THR Bonvs.—Mr. Beck in the House yesterday offered a resolution favoring @ tax of at least ten per cent on the interest of United States bonds, and while the negative votes wore being counted he raised the point of order that no member could vote on a (ues- tion in which be was particularly interested.
