The Zoll Parlament—Finance—Milltary Ab- serption and the Great War Vortex—How she Nationalities are Affected. Berwin, June 1, 1870, ‘The Zoli Parilament, representing North and South Germany, has closed the last session of its three years’ legislative period, The next meeting of that body, whose existence is secured by treaties until 1877, requires new elections, King William, m dismissing the members, expressed much satis- faction at the result of their deliberations—the adoption of the revised tariff proposed by the allied governments. He ca!led it a praiseworthy conces- sion to national feeling, and a sacrifice on all sides for the benefit of the fatherland. Those not behind the scene consider the action of the Zoll Parliament as acuriogity in parliamentary lustory; for during the sessions of 1868 and 1869 the government de- mands for an increase of the duties on tobacco and petroleum were fatly denied. The same was the case this year with respect to the duty on coffee, and @ vast majority voted agalust it, but, strange to say, forty-eight hours worked 2 complete change, and at the last reading a majority as large as that of the previous nves had shifted to the op- Posite side, voting aye with the government. As to the means by which this compromise between the national liberals and the conservatives has becn effected tt 1s yet a mystery, and so secretly was it contrived that the Fortschritt party aken com. pletely by surprise. They jusidy suspect that the re- convalescent pation? at Vartin, Count Bismarck, has applied the screws, as on former occasions, and thrown bis whole weight and tufuence into the seale of government. While the duty on petroleum, yielding perhaps a million, had been almost unanimously re- Jected when demande! last year by Baron Von Der Heydt the increase of the coivce duty, amounting to over a million and a hal’, has now been wrung from the Customs Parliament, A natural concomitant to Increas!ng the tariff! on articles of general consumption is the prolect of en- Jarging the military budget. 1t is said that the Min- tster of War, General Von Roon, will tusist mstead of 225 thalers per head of the army on 240 thaler anitem of nearly 5,000,000 more in the ordinary tat and on a similar amount in the extraordinary état for the alteration and improvement of the nee- dle guns. Judging from the compliance heretofore shown by the representatives such demands, when Made at the next Reichstag, may meet little resist- ance, regardless of the groans of the overburdened people and the helplessness of some of the smalier Skates, who entirely lack the means of paying their share towards such an expensive military establish- ment, EMIGRATION TO AMERICA—THE INDUSTRIAL EXODUS FROM FATHERLAND. If I shonld stigmatize this all-absorbing military proclivity of the North German Confederate govern- ment an “ill wind” 1 could not say of it that it blows nobody good, inasmuch as its direct consequence is ® godsend to youin the shape of a vastly increased emigration to your hemisphere, and, as freely ad- maitted on all sides here, composed of better classes of people than have ever heretofore left the country. Large numbers of intelligent and well-to-do farmers and meehanics of Pomerania, West Prassia and Posen are settling up their affairs and preparing, With their families, for the journey. Most of them go by lavitation of fricnds, who write in glowing terms of their success and bid them to come and occupy the fine lands they have se- lected for them, Even in the province of Brandenburg, the heart of Prussia, and this (Berlin) its capital city, we know a district of nearly two hundred thousand iuhabitanis—Priegnitz, as it is called—which will furnish this y¢ quite a respect a@bie number of emigrants, and of the very best class Of citizens. Itappeurs that parties who emigrated Years ago from that section to Liinois and settied in Chicago, where they became very wealtily, have é1 couraged souie of tivir relatives to join ti¢m. Col trary to intention, these private tiaings of splend success leaked out, and laying be ome kuown gene- rally many are now tuliking of similarly improving their fortunes. Tiere can be no doubt that these in- dustrious folks of the district of Pr.egniiz will thrive ém their new home, and thus ilustraie how a per- verse government, by inflicting dire disease upon one country, may contribute to ‘he healthiulness and welfare of another and better governed one. Owing to the ease in ihe money market here during che last month considerable transactions have taken place in American railway mortgage bonds, and in cerain cliques of the exchange Kansas Pacific, Rockiord, Rock Island, Chattanvoga, Port- Jand, Peninsular Michigan, Souch Pacific, Missouri, Chicago and Northwestern, with many other stocks, became in greatdemand. Some cauilvus bankers here, however, are said to haye remicted some of these bonds to your market, with the view of tesuny their yaiue, when they were iniormed that they were Noi negotiabie in Wali street, and tniended only for the Continent. Further, it 18 sald that Baron Von Geroit thought st to address the department here ‘On this subject, in consequence of which the Prus- sian Minister of Cominerce advised te elders of the Btock Exviange to take precautions, as such bonds had no government guarantee. ‘The latter, in their haste to please the Minisier, direcied that no Amevi- can stocks, unless guaranteed by the United States vernment, should be quoted in the daiiy lists, add- fy the preinonition that dealings in them were jnse- cure. Hardly was this posted up when those inter- ested in the inaiter gave free veut to their indigua- tion at this wanton proceeding, indist ninately attacking all kinds of American bouds. Their just protests against this measure giew so strong that the elders feit themseives compelled, afier two days’ resistance, to rescind the prolubition, and we now find these mortgage bonds maintaining their former place in the qantauons, The Borsen Zeiung, or exchange journal, which stood altogether on the side of the malconteuts, re- orted that Mr, Bancroit liad been appcaled to on ie subject and would make ita matter of diplomatic action. On laguiry, however, we flud inat Mr. Ban- croft did not gee any occasion to interfere in the matter, as the aforesaid step was not an act of tho vernment here. He informed us that if it had n, and couched ia such indiscriminate terms, he should then have thought it his duty to intertere. At the sume time he expressed his surprise that it should not be generally Known here tha’ no rallway bonds are guaranteed by governmens. The whoic trouble, it appears, arose from the blunder of the bourse committee, who in-tead of limiting their caution to certain enterprises, swéepingly con- demned the whole, While on financial matiers I may mention that ve-twenty bonds are stl a favorite investment here and maintain a steady price, varying seldom more than one-eighth, When other securiues suffer Very considerable fluctuations, as in the instance of the Lombardy railway shares, which in the course of last month fell twenty-eight per cent.

Populauon of Buro . FRANCE, The Cabinet Policy Before the Parlinment— Ministerial Tactics agaiust the Oppositioa— Party Newspaper Orgaus and their Dimicul- tes. Pantie, June 2, 1870. * We have just’ had a great day “entirely” Jor the Government, M. Ollivier has gained a@ decided victory in the Corps Législatif. some of the “right? would have been glad, with- out coalescing with the ‘left,”? to have made @ motion, motwée, which the latter could have accepted, Had this been effected and voted, the ministry must have resigned, M, Ollivier knew this, and took his precautions accordingly. The “righv? dreads “like the devil does holy water” the withdrawal of article 201, which gives to the minister not only power to refuse pertodival or per- maneat political meetings, but also all reunions of any nature comprised of more than twenty persons. The “right,” moreover, is aware that (although its members would hail with delight the return of M. Rouher ) if the article be withdrawn they would not be re-elected, M. ullivier clearly intimated that should M. Du- vernois make a speech hostile to the government in reference to the question yesterday before the Chamber the Cabinet would propose the abolition of the article, und that then nis majority would consist of the centre drott (right centre) and the gauche. The “right”? would thus be left in the lurch. The centre ga (leit centre) received the following hint from M, Ollivier:—“If you oppose the motion pur et sim- ple Lwiil make no promise that the article shall be abolished during my administration, but if you do not do sol give you my word that it shall be an- nulied, but when must be léft to me.” The Marquis d’ Andclarre made his speech in that sense. ‘rhe next political event of the day is the p sition of M. Picard and his new party, the Gauche Cons!t- ducionnelie, He and his friends take the same line that M. Ollivier formerly did before coming in to power, Theirs may be considered a legitimate op- position to the government. This new party 18 a gain for the empire, its members having aban- doned republicanism to become supporters of the Emperor, M. Picard himself ts at present in a strange situation, Not only is he the largest owncr of shares in the Stécle aud ex-political direc- tor of that paper, but he has also another journal, Les Electeurs, Libres. The latter las already an- nounced itself as the organ of the new constitutional party, and, consequently, has become Nanoleontst. What the Siccle will do tt is impossible to say; but an article appeared in that journal on Priday in the aigre-doux style, lamenting what M. Picard had done. At any rate the Sidcle will become better be- haved, although it may not outwardly give up all republican appearance. One effect of the plebiscite was, you may remeiaber, a discussion among the members of the centre gauche, some of whom voted no, although the majority voted yes. Serious poll- ticians, although desiring ample democratic liverty, repuiiate the ambiguous situation of those deputies who, under the pretence of being “trrecon- cables,’ work to eet @ revolution without con- + the disastrous results with which it might be accompanied, The “extreme left?’ and repubil- can party, Which but a short time since numbered jis now reduced to tuirteen, The power of M. Sat the present moment unlimited, and he Knows it. A person spoke to him last week about the critical position of the government should M. Bothmont’s interpolation be successful. ‘The Prime inister smiled and replied, “Let them do as they lixe; Lam too streng for them,” TIE REGICIDE TRIALS. At last It has been decided that the Haute Cour Wil assetabie at Blois during the latter part of the month of June. The trial of those accused of com- ity 1n the complot with be one of unusual inte- - it has been asserted so boldly by the opposi- tion journals that no pig F ever existed except in the imaginative minds of Monsieur le ‘Préfet ae Police and’ Ins satellites that, should the prosecu- tion break down, the reputation of the. government will be severely if trot irreparably damaged. For months the authorities have persisted m thetr decla- ration of having discovered a wide-spread consp!- racy, and itis not reasonable to suppose that the government would risk a trial unless certain of ob- taining a conviction, That the struggle will be des- perate c:nnot be doubted; for it will in reality be pe- tween the ultra irreconcilables and the empire. Long before the repor:ed consplracy seriously occu- pied publie attention I told you that the government was in possession of proofs that a compiot was in existence. The source from which E gained my in- formation was beyond suspicion, and the course of subsequent events justifies the supposition that the evidence which will be produced by the government on the trial will prove there is “something under the surface” of a far more dangerous character than the umorous alarmist can conceive. Tnere 1s no dis gulsing the fact that the authorities are still very un- sy a8 regards the personal safety of the Emperor and re than usual precautions are taken, as not- withstanding the namerons arrests which have been miide many of the dastardly conspirators against his life are kuown to be atill at large. COLLEGE DEMOCRACY. Students are evidently not a reasoning race. Their intol-rance at present gives but little hope of their liberal ideas in after Ife, When a “hobbledy hoy” maysell, T was the most unreasonable lout in exist- ence. M. Laboulaye attempted another lecture on Friday and the tumult was resumed with additional violence. Long before tie lecturer made his appear- ance the amphitheatre was filled to overflowing. Tue noise was deaie' ing, and at hal!-pasi twelve the dies who had taken seats were force! to leave, ts then rushed towards the professor's caaire and within a second there appeared in gigan- tic round d on the large black board, written with chaik by a student, ‘Laboulaye—apostate—lec- tures closed on account of apostacy!”” Suddeniy.the report was spread that M. Laboulaye would Jecture io 0. 7, Amphitheatre, Imme- diately the crowd flocked thither, tumbing, scrambling, pushing, and accompanied by frantic cries of “Viva Lahoulaye! Au Sénat! L’Enervr 1” Arrived, the students found the professor, atgnified, smiling and imperturbable. For three-quarters of an hour he remained with his head to the storm, in tue hope that a temporary lull in the coniusion of tongues would enable him to speak. It was in vain; the heat was overpowering; tie students yelled— some mn favor, others against the lecturer—and ap- peared by the increasing tumult to become more ex- cited by their shouts. At last M. Laboulaye, find. ing that 1; was impossible to “get a word in edge- Ways” beat a dignified retreat. There was an enor- mous crowd outside the Collége de France, and on making his exit the professor was greeted with ap- plause and hisses. The-authorities of the college de- serve great credit for not having demanded the as- sistance of the potice. M. Laboulaye set an example of patience which snould serve as a model for his satlauts. At lectures to which students are forced to go some excuse may be made for obstrepe- rous conduct; but at the Coll is free, public and gratuttous, so that assuredly no sect of brawlers have the rmght to hinder their fellow students irom benefiting by the lectures of M. La- boulaye. HOW PEOPLE LIVE AND DIE IN PARIS. A novel manner of rapidly making 200 francs was invented by a well dressed inan last week in the rue Richelieu. A lady entered a Lv in that street’and purchased a gray silk dress, She was attentively Watched by a gentleman who had posted himself at the door when she entered. When the lady took from her purse 8 note for 200f. the gentleman rushed forward, struck her and snaiched the bank note from her hand, saying as he did so, in an Tt tone, “1 distinctly told you not to buy @ dress, have watched you; you shall not have it.” Having given yent to this explosion of virtuous indignation he “skedaddled,” not forgetting to take with him the bank note. The lady naturally did a fainting fit, hysierics and other outward signs of female grief. ‘The spectators, believing that the gentleman was a husband in a state of ape toe Jealousy, said noth- ing. Nobody ever thinks of interfering between min and wie in Paris. Marriage and justifiable Jealousy are synonymous terms here, and we are accustomed to shut our eyes to domestic troubles. Everything must come to an end, even faintingand “high strikes;” so, in due course, the lady came to her senses. The owner of the estab- lisnament then expressed the great affliction he labored under, at having discovered that the lady was dependent on such a brutal husband. “My husband, shrieked the ladys that man is not my husband. I do not know him. 1 never saw him before!” He was simply a chevalier Windustrie in the execution of nis ye fession. Of general news there is butlittle. During the past ten days the National Guard has been im; ing on us their military presence, The various le- gions of Paris have been inspected on the esplanade des Invalides. They come roiling along the streets with heavy funereal tread, preceded by pioneers and band, Notwithstanding the milit pomp with which they are clothed and the waritKe aspect they attempt to assume, there is something about these civilian soldiers that lacks the real ring of the true coin. Mow they would scutde if o) to my friends the Zouaves, next door. I met a bat- talion yesterday in this street. That ferocious look: sapeur pompier, with leathern spron, grenadier’s bearskin cap and implements supposed to be neces- sary for clearing the way for the National Guard, 1s the milkman round the corner, ow of whose shop ts the sign Lait Chaud, Matin et soir, the most terrific act of whose life has been the milking acow. As for that imposing drum-major who 1s puting and steaming al he keeps a cabaret Within an easy distance, ana Capataine, who perpetually turns to his men to impress the gaping oonnes and street ragamuffins with the idea thi ie 18 & Martinet, 1s @ worthy shoemaker who made me a pair of boots which caused me whenever I wore them to curse their manufacturer. I could go on thus through the battalion. There 18 one little fat, chubby, apo- plectic fellow ploughing through the dirt who evi- dently wishes himself anywhere but in the ranks. I know him; his wife keeps a lmen shop, and he ts deeply skilled in ladies’ underel Some month aince J entered fis shop, aud found him behind the counter clothed in military array. My surprise was evident, for the good soul said, “Don’t laugh, sir! I know it’s all nonsense, Suppose there was an out- break, what could Ido? I never let off a gun in my life; I never killed a fly; I am always afraid of hurt- ing myself with the implements of war. Whenever I amon duty, when | leave the house my wile em- braces me, she says, 1iook so well ‘in uniform,” Alas! how many wives are there in Paris who lik their husbands to be in the National Guard, becauxe it from time to time condemns their liege lords tw & forced absence, A funeral of the most modest descrip tion, followed by a single monrner, a decrepid old man, accompanied by a large poodle dog, at- tracted much attention as it proceeded to the Ceme- tery of Mont Parnasse, a few days since, The body about to be interred was that of a man named Des- champs, concerning whom the following anecdote is related ;—"On the night of the Mardi Gras, in the Year 1822, the Préfect of Police was awakened by & violent ringing of the bell. His servant opened the door, A woman scarcely dressed and in tears rushed in, and saying “Save me! save me!” threw herself on her knees at the side of the astonished Préfect’s bed. The terror of evil-doers recognjsed the Marquise de G—, the wife of a high functiohary. Her husband betng detained at the palace in attendance on the king the Marquise had protited by his absence to allow the Vicomte de B—, her lover, to supply his place. At one o'clock in the morning the Vicomte had an attack of apo- plexy ana died suddenly, ‘The terror siricken Mar- guise dressed herself tn haste and rushed to the Pre- fCcture. The Preféct of Police, after a (ew moments’ reflection, said, “There is only one man who can extricate us from this dilemma. Retarn to your house, madame; dress the dead body and wait patiently.” One hour later two men descended the stairease of the Marquis’ house; they supported a third, who had apparently lost congclousness. At tne street door a carnage was in waiting, into which the men catered with their charge, Some half dranken revellers, returning from the masked ball, shouted, “Ah! there goes one who has had enough; they are obliged to take him home in a carriage.” On the following morning the ies epe nore an- nounced that the lifeless body of the Vicomte de B—, pierced with three kuife wounds, had been found on the Plaine St, Denis. The assassin was never discovered, Six months later the Marquise died; she was but twenty-tive years of age, but her hair was white. Last week Deschamps, the instru- ment employed by the Prétect of Police to save her from public disgrace, was borne to his last resting place. The Cabinet and the Opposition—Intrigue. for Place aud Power—Urileanism and the Le- gitinists. Paris, June 1, 1870, There is a great Intrigue going on for the purpose of ousting the present Ministry and bringing into power many of those who held the reins of govern- ment prior to last January, although M. Rouher it ts not Intended should at the outset have a porteseuitie. ‘The plan of the intriguers ts to form a new Cabinet, with M, Olivier as the chief; that M. Forcade de la Roquette should return to the Ministry of the In- terior, M. Magne to that of Finance and the Marquis de Lavallette tothe Foreign Office. M. Olivier, how- ever, has refused to join this combination, as by 60 doing he would have to throw over his frienas of the centre gauche and a portion of the centre droit. He has, moreover, the sagacity to see that the proposition is simply “the insertion of the thin end of the wedge’ for his own downfall, The intrigue has actually been carried into the Tuileries, but the Emperor, like M. Oilivier, will not listen to it, and the result is the strengthen- ing, if possible, of the entente cordiale between the Emperor and M. Oilvier. Connected with the above are certain editors of newspapers, such as the Pays, the Orleanist, the legitimist and republican organs. They proposed to have a dinner at the Cascade, in the Bois de Bou- logne for the purpose of coming to an under- standing and pledging themselves to do all in their power to «turn oul’ the present Ministry. Many of the editors accepted the Invitation, be lieving that the dinner was to be simply a pro- fessional and iriendly affair, unconnected with poll- ties. The true intent, however, having come to the knowledge of M. Pictri, the Prefect of Police, that functionary has forbidden the dinner, It is contrary to the law for more than twenty persons to meet for the discussion of political matters without the con- sent of the police. EDITORIAL ARGUMENT. A short time since the Pays published a strong article against the Kappel. Its author, M. Henri de 1a Garde, was challenged by M. Rutina, one of the editors of the repubitcan journal. The duel will take place to-morrow at Quiverain, beyond the frontiers. Conditions:—Pistois, hair triggers; distance, twenty-five paces, with permission to ad- vance ten and to fire at any time during the walk, If both the combatants advance the whole distance free bejore firmg they will be only separaied five paces, and should not each succeed in killing his adversary—why it’s a pity. In Belgium there 1s no law against duelling; here principals and seconds are punisned. Ii, therefore, you wish to murder a man, allowing him atthe same time to return the compliment, and you should have some waste cash in your pocket, it is advisable to invest in a ticket for La Belgique. THE IBERIAN QUESTION. Nobody takes the slightest interest in the Portugese Tevo.ution, and the French government participates in the opinion. Whenever Lou.é 1s Minister, Saidan- ha heads a military revolt and is sure of success, Within six months after Saldanha becomes Miaister, Louié plays the same cards and is sure to win, A friend of mine told an attache of the Portugese Em- bassy to state this view of the case to his Ambassa- dor, Who endorsed it ag correct. IMPERIAL SALAD AND COURT COSTUME. Salade Impertate! Of course you are acquainted with the mode of its Munulacture—asparagus points and slices of truffles. Do you like It? Yes. So did the guests at the Tuileries the other night; tl consumed it in vast quantities at the supper tabie. Salade Impériale anu strawberries were devoured in @ manner that would imply that the six hundrea in- Vited to the ball given by the Empress had refrained from dinner in order to do justice to the mélange now in fashion, The Emperor and Empress entered the Salie des Maréchaus shortiy after ten o'clock and retired at midnight, Mer Majesty was dressed simply, but, as usual, in excellent taste: blue sik dress, with small founces of white lace, a few viviets in the hair and a diamond necklace—vold tout. The refreshment table was arranged in a charming Manner; a pavi- lion of rare plants reached to the arched roof of the galérie de la Paix, the interior of which, divided by steps covered with a profusion of fresh flowers, was brilliantly ilummated by an invisible light, and, in the background, an enormous circas curct melis spread its dark green patin leaves over all. The effect was singularly beautiful. COLLEGIATE “IRRECONCILEABLES.” There was a storm at the Coliége de France when M. Laboulaye resumed his lectures, which had ceased since the Easter nolidays, Long before the ay pointed hour the satle was crowded. When M. Labou- laye made his appearance there were cries of “Vive Laboulaye !’ accompanied by waving of hats. When the applause had ceased the hall resounded with hos- tile cries of “au Sénat! au Senat !? wh.ch issued from two groups of six or seven young men. This made the partisans of M. Laboulaye redouble thelr ap- plause, amid counter cries of “Vencrier ! l’encrier !" M. Laboulaye said he was fully determined to remain uot tne hour had elapsed, ani that if they would listen to him they should have the history of the encreer (inkstand). He then coatinued:—“In 1866 I was a candidate at Strasbourg. I obtained 10,000 votes, of which 8,000 were 1n Strasbourg itself. Those who had voted for me wished to honor me with a souvenir after the electoral struggle. They opencd a public subscription at twosous. That tells you how numerous the subscriptions were. Well, then, do you know how many have been reclaimed? ‘en. Own that it was easy for me to indemnify them by forwarding postage stamps. (Interruptions and ap- Hause.) I beg of you not to mingle applause with the interruptions, so that it may be more easy to prove that those who interrupt are in the smailest mino- rity.” A student, standing up, with his hat on, shouted, “We will not let you speak.” His neighbor said, ‘Take your hat of.” “No! His interlocutor knocked it off, and a fight ensued. When the lively mill had terminated M. Labouwlaye explained his reasons for having voted for the plebiscite amid con- tinued By but he manfully faced tie storm unul the hour had elapsed, and terminated by requesting his interruptors if they returned on Fri- day to wait for mim in the courtyard, where they couid hiss him at their ease. He would permit them to do so willingly, provided they would allow him to finish his lectures. The real cause of the manifesta- tion against M. rose 1s that he presented him- self as a candidate in the double capacity of Orlean- ist and republican, and he was ee gene by the re- publican press. He is now acc of having coun- gelled voting for the plebiscite in order to become a Minister. Indeed, M. Ollivier had actually named him Minister of Public Instruction. Hav- written some time since @ book en- titled “prince Caniche” (canichne in French Means a poodle dog) directed against the Prince Im- fee. when M, Olivier presented the paper for his jajesty’s signature, the Emperor said:—‘No; I will never sign tor that man.” He 1s clever, and an ex- celient writer, but of no political consistency. He has now lost his position; for he 1s rejected by both eS. DECORATIONS. Frenchmen are always Go for foreign decora- tions, and, fortunately for their taste, there is but little difficulty in obtaining them. ‘The “palms” of the French Academy and of the University are really worth having, as they are only awarded by tbe Min- ister of Instruction to persons of merit. The palm of the Academy ig in allver; that of she University in gold, with blue ribbons. ‘The distinction is given to authors or men who have become celebrated in the various sciences. None but those already decorated with the Legion of Honor can obtain the Untversity Palm. M. R, Mitchell, chief editor of the Constttu- tonnel, has just received that decoration, agd this morning the ite de Caccia, Secretary to Di- rector of the Press, at the Ministére de 1’Intertor, ‘Was decorated with the palm of the Academy. tiful supply of the Legion of Honor ribbon will e distributed on the 16tn of August, the Emperor’s te day. Among others to be decorated on that oc- casion is M. Mitchell, father of the editor of the Con- stttuttonnel. For many years he has rendered service to France, especi in conserving to this country the transit of the Indian mail. PREPARING FOR THE LAW COURTS. We are promised an exposé of mispiaced affection before the Jaw courts, A Parisian, who had rapidly made a large fortune in trade, was dof the unhappy ambition to become the worst half of a En lady, and he married the widow of the Marquis P——, ‘The patrician soon became tred of the alliance, left the conjugal roof, started one of her own an‘ reassumed her title of Marquise, The ex-trader of leather was delighted to get rid of her; but as his Wife during her residence with him had appropriated to her own use bonds and bills payable to bearer, amounting 12 all to a considerable amount, the husband claimed them in a business manner, To this she pald no attention, and Beue- dict went hinself to her house.s An altercation— snarp, short and deeisive—took place. Madame la Marquise ordered her servants to put her lord and master out of the door in the most sutcmary man- ner, This not being to nis taste he seized'a chair and macadatnized windows, glasses, porcelain, ple- tures and servants’ heads, the tongues in whitch sereamed for help, until the arrival of the police put an end to the uproar.

After the usual annual examination of the boys’ school a few days since, at the Borough Road schools farl Russell preside at the sixty-fifth general meet- mg of the Brittsh and Foreign School Society, and was supported by Lord Lyveden, Mr. Baines, M. P.; Mr. Dixon, M. P.; Mr. 8. Gurney, M. P.; Mr. Pease, M. P.; Mr. V. Harcourt, M. P.; Mr. Sartoris, M. P.; Sir W. Sterling, the Revs. T. Binney, Hugh Allen, D. Fraser, Canon Cromwell, T. Brockway, J. 8. Wading- ton, Dr. J. H. Gladstone, &c, ‘The report, an abstract of which was read by the Secretary, referred to the principles of the society as uniting reverence for Scripture truth with re- spect for the conscientious convictions of ail, and cited numerous testimonies to the value of the moral and religious as well as intellectual instruc- tion given in British schools, Earl Russell said—I do not think I can take a better opportunity of delivering to you my opinions with regard to this socicty and the position in which the question of education stands than when we are returning our thanks to her Majesty the Queen, From its first beginning (sixty-two years ago) this society has received the patronage and support of the Crown, (Hear, hear.) Fromm the days of George HL until now we have received support and assistance from the royal authority. (Cheers.) {t has been stated, I believe, by soine over-zealous friends of mine that [ was the’ person who first set up this so- ciety, and that 1%18 pet or fancy of mine to sup- port. I am entitled to no such honor—to no such distinction. My father, indeed, Lad a great share in its first foundation, and I had the sentiments which always inttuenced him implanted by him in my mind in ‘my eariy days; and all the credit I can claim 1s, thas I have maintained the principles I imbibed from my father, and have endeavored to carry into etlect those views which he throughout his life held, (Hear.) This question of national education fs one that at the present moment divides public opinion; and it is necessary, therefore, to recur to some of the first principles of this society. Now, the first priucipic of ail was that we should introduce religion into our teaching, and that the Bible should be the founda- tion of that teaching. For my part, I cannot con- sider a young man educated if he has not received religious instruction, He may read and write well, be well versed in arithmetic, geography, history and ofner subjects, but that 1s instruction, and I cer- thinly should not call the person whose attamments were limited to these an educated man, unless he at the same time had implanted in his mind the princt- ples of the Christian religion. That is the principle of the society, and that principle, whatever the Legislature may do, we are bound to carry out. An- otiler principle 1s that we have from the first founded our religious teaching on the Bible, laying aside all catechisms and formularies. (Cheers.) The Bible comes from God, and conveys to us the word of God and the mind of God— hear)—but the catechisms and formularies have en adopted from time to time by en according to the passions or circumstances of the time. They convey the opinions, the learning ana the sentiments, but also the faults and passions of the times in which they were framed. I may state an instance to show the defects which in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, when those formularies were adopted, prevailed in public opinion on these subjects. There ig no _lesson—no moral lesson which you will find more pervading the Bible than the doctrine that we ought to forgive those who trespass against us, and that it 18 only on condition that _we do so that God will forgive us our treapasses, We read in the Oid Testament that most touching and affecting story of how Joseph not Sa, forgave his brethren who had sought his death and sold jim toslavery, but, return- ing good for evil, how he provided them with food and sustained their lives during the famine, and afterwards planted them in the best of the land of Egpyt. That lesson is repeated over and over again in te New Testament, - * id ag 1am not now going wo criticise the Governmeys Edu- cation bill; but lsay 1 test it by these three ques+ tions:—First, conventent districts for schools; sec ond, that no tax should be tm} |, general or lo- cul, except by representation; and third, that the education should be unsectarian. (Cheers.) I do not say whether these conditions are complied with. in this bill, but I do say that nuless the House o! Commons takes care that they are complied with the measure will hardly hive the assent of the na- tion, (Hear, hear.) And, for my own part, 1 say this, that alu h you have been assured by my no- ble friend, veden, that Wf seit up by the Houge of Commons it will ‘receive the readv aagent of the House of Lords, It must be borne in mind that ever, may enter his provest; and if I should find that the bill, as It comes up from the House of Comn- mons, enacting for perpebuity secular education for this country, snovid fat! to embody the tree principles: have enumerated, I shall enter my protest against it, (Cheers.) I trust, how- ever, that no such calamity will happen. Indeed, 1 am confident it will not. [have great confidence in Mr. Poster, in his broad and enlighvened print) les, and his Puritanical descent, to. which he himself has referred; but Lhave just come from a country where the great question under discussion was whether they should yote the infallibiliy of the Pope, I have nothing to do with that, but I have not come home to Engiand tw vote the Iinfallibility of any Minister, however talented. Ishatl therefore, watch anxiously the procecdings of the House of Commons. Ia my opin- lon the bill, which is very complicated, deserves careful Investigation, aud” men like my honorable iriend Mr. Baines [ am sure will not vote for any clause in it without knowing the length to which it might be eniorced, and the actual operation to Which it might extend, (Cheers.) There are (wo other questions of great importance in connection With tais subject of national education. It ts well known that the frish Roman Catholic bishops have jor some time complained that we have @ denominational system of education here, and that it has not been extended to Ireland, Although the report of the Commission appointed to luquire into the state of education in Lreland has not yet been presented it is no doubt in a forward slate, aud will appear when the English Edu Dill shall have been disposed of. If the bil for laud gives perpetuity and permanence to denouiuua- tonal education the demand of the Roman Cathol ex wil hardly be resisted, It will be said “we «estr equality i this matter also between England aud Ireiand,’? and the itxed system of education whit was d in 1x8h Will be discarded, Now, what will be the consequences of deuomimational education in Ireland? There are children of P testants to the number of 24,00 tn lreland, 8 avout in the various schools where the Roman Catho- lies form the great majority. The system of we Roinan Catholic Church is very absolute. | rewnem- ber some time ago Bishop GrifMfths, on my saying to him, “Lt we propose any system of educa shall not interfere with your religious Views,’ reply- ing, ‘*Phat is all very well; but every subject tyugi is with us connected with religion aud unless we hay the entire control of the schools We shal not be satisfied.” ‘Tae result, then, in Ireland w:ll be that these 24,000 Protesiaat children will be etther oblix to submit to bemg taught Roman Catholic doctrines or de driven out of the schools altogether, and tint, I think, would not be fitting for the House of Lords to decide. Another matter to be borne in mind by the House of Lords ts that the Church of Mage land is not now exactly the same Church tt was at the time of Archbishop Howley and Bishop Blom- field, There is a party in it now that is always trying to assimilate the Church of Englund to the Chureh of Rome, by introducing gradually th montes of the Chureh of Rome into tts worsht by step this party is introducing into inach of the Roman Cathoilc mont fuith which at the time of the Reform st jured. (Hear, hear.) ‘Therefore if we estatlish i: t schools the denomimativnal teaching of the Church of Bngland we caunot be quite sure What in ten, twenty or thirty yoars hence (hat teaching will).

A statement which has been adopted by a meet- ing of Catholics, in which the Duke of Norfolk, Lord Howard of Glossop and the Master of Lovat took part, declares that to compel Catholic children to board in schools in whica, contrary to the principles of the Cathoilc religion, secular and religious tm- struction will not go hand in hand, “would be to in- stitute @ religious grievance, both contrary to the principles professed by all parties at this time and without any parallel in countries of mixed re- ligions.” The Education biil, as it now stands, so say the Catholics, “would make Bngland an excep- ton to the whole ctyilized worid, stuce there Is not any instance on the Continent of Europe or in Amer- ica in which primary education 1s at the same time compulsory and undenominational, ‘The Marchioness of Quecasberry maintains on the education and Church question generally that to be @ Catholic 18 not necessarily to be a Papist, and most strenuously demes the doctrine that the Pope, or any other ecclesiastical seta) Catholic or Pro- testant, has any temporal authority, directly or inai- rectly, in Ireland, Her Grace add ‘There mustbe a “unanimity of sentiment and a of thought” before Ireland can arrive at that greatness which is in store for her.

It should not dwell too much upon the traditionary past, but form rather a comprehen- sive museum of the living present, In history it should furnish the outlines.
