A Trip to the Holy City on the Eve of the Plebiscitum—Passenger Trains and the Pas- sengers—Kulns of the Salarian Bridge~The Qla and the New—‘iush of Speculators to an Eternal Shrine—The City Newspapers— Sale of the Journals by a Remarkable Man. Rome, Oct. 9, 1870, Travelling to Rome about the time of the plebiscite was an arduous affair, at any rate by the direct night train from Florence, via Foligno; for the trains are crammed with passengers, who are delayed at every station by a counter current of trains return- ing northward, full of soldiers belonging to General Bixto's division, which has been dissolved, as the peaceable aspect of Rome and the provinces ren- ders o garrison of 60,000 men quite superfiuous, A very inconvenient impediment on the Foligno Jine ts the river Anto, three miles from Rome, over which passengers have to proceed on foot on a very shaky plank bridge, with their carpet bags in their hands, while porters conyey the heavier bag- gage, to meet another train from Rome on the left bank of the river, the rail- way bridge over it haying been wantonly and uselessly blown up by the Pontifical military au- thortties, The old stone Salarlan bridge, blown up im 1867, and the modern tron railway bridge, destroyed ten days ago, are now both instances of gravultous wreck, within @ rifle snot of each other, and without the slightest obstruction having been in either case presented by thelr ruin to the advance of the Invading forces. This transhipment of travel- jers snd luggage retards the arrival of the trains for twoor three hours, and produces great confusion and dissatisfaction. NAW CLASSES OF VISITORS—SPECULATION PRAYER ¢ The invasion of Rome by soldiers having been brought to a very rapid conclusion the invasion of the city by a host of speculators, professional men, journalists and tradesmen of all descriptions has commenced, and promises to be continued for some time, the transfer of the capttal causing the migra- tion from Florence of that numerous class of active and enterprising men of business, chiefy from the northern provinces, who have so largely contributed to the imprevement and brilliancy of tne temporary capiial. hi busiest of these immigrants are certainly the oR The journalists; for during the ten days succeeding the entry of the Italian troops there have been at least ten newspapers started in Rome. The bigoted Os- reatore Roma o, seeing the coming storm, makes arrangements peforeiiand for ibe sale of its enure establis! 75,000 francs, god the Liberta LOW occupies the Osservatore’s quondam head- quarters, on the Piazza dei Croclleri. The Civiita Cattolica 1s also shut up, and the Giornale di Roma ts succeeded by the Gazzetta Upiciale in the gov- ernment premises in Vis della Stamperia, where the same veteran old distributor who handed the wet copies of Pope Gregory XVI.'s oficial journal, thirty yeurs ago, across the counter to impatient custom- ers, and afterwards successively those of Plus IX., liberal, the Roman republic, and Pius IX., absolute and reactionary, has adapied nls conscience to the litical currens of the day, and is now placidly elling the new oficial gazetic, wich invites the Romans to depose the Pope by a solemn plebiscite, occupying his usual high-backed chair, and taking his asval pinch of snuit, with as much gusto as Byer, when customers are s!ack enough to give nim time. The policy of the Junta 1s not to disturb long es- tablisived civil empioyes, and a notification has been recently published announcing that long service Pensions will be punctuaily paid to all Pontifical employés entitied to them. The city weers afestive aspect to-day, after the important ceremony of the zd instant. Tricolored flags wave from windows and balcoitles, national flags float over the reside! representatives and eccl Jeal_ establishments, Jt is easy to comprehend wily the Church of the ‘Trintta det Monti, which is French property, should be surrounded with the French tricolor, but it is more difficult to explain why the neighboring Pro- paganda College should hoist the Brvish union jack on one side and the American Stars and Stripes on the other, We see just now very few priests or ecclesiastics, secular and regular, in the streets of Rome, the whole class probably following the example of the Supreme Ponti, w.o has remained a voluntary prisoner within the precincts of the Vatican Palace since the entry of the Itailan troops, although it has been asserted by some journals that his Holiness, impatient of confinement, had lately driven about the Leonine city, escorted by a detachment of Italian lancers, as well as by his own nobie guard, It is a fact that would-be sightseers at the Vati- can frequently find their visit to the great sculpture gallery or Pinacoteca of pictures, frustrated by the ‘announcement that his Holiness 18 walking in them, and Iam informed thai Pio Nono takes a pleasure in showing thus that ue is still master in own residence. The Pope’s military housenold is now restricted to two corps—the noble and Swiss guards, both of which are remarkable for their picturesque uniform. ‘The noble guards on duty now sleep by turns at the Vatican, instead of returning to their quondam quar- ters at the Consulate Palace. sof foreign ENGLAND.

Lonvon, Oct. 8, 1870. Some interesting experiments are going on while { write, at Sheerness, with torpedoes. On this occa- sion the trials are being made just opposite the Queen's dockyard; so it Is very evident that the government have at last arrived at the conclusion what the peculiar features of this novel instrument of warfare are not solely known to them, but to many of the outside world. The results of these experi- ments I hope to be able to make known in my next letter. COAL FOR WAR SHIPS. Economy is now all the rage, and perhaps in no single instance is it more strictly adhered to than in the expenditure of coal for our ships of war. Whether poor Captain Burgoyne was actuated with a strong desire to conform to the stringent order issued by the Lords of the Aamirally to the effect that coal for steaming purposes was not to be used except in the most urgent case, I cannot gay. Suffice it that the ill-fated ship had not her steam up, and Iam not single in my opinion wheu I say that, if she had, the captain’s number would still make one on the British Navy List. However, tne saving in the consumption of fuel a8 a matter which is attracting much attention now at White- hall and among the engineer officers of the navy. On Wednesday last one of our new corvettes was taken to the Maplew Sands and put through a variety of experiments, one of which was tie commencement of @ series ordered by the Admiraity to be made to ‘ascertain the advantages of a ‘relieater,” with which the vessel is fitted. She alio has a pair of compound engines. The reheater is one of Cowper’s, The triaion Wednesday last was at an approximate speed of eight Knots, which will ve the average carried out through all tue trials, It is generally considered that a great saving in fael will be made, and the resuits are looked forward to with some little interest by engineers. Two more trials are ordered to be Made, to test the advantages of the “reheater” and ascertain whether the saving of fuel already attained is due to tt or to the compound conan low pressure cyliaders, yr the whole com- ined.

At this season of the year, while Parliament not sitting, it has become @ general mania with liberal members, and I 1eel confounded that such details should be so eagerly swallowed by the honest farmers and trades people, as well a8 some in a higher status of society, ave been around the fortifications within the past two months, and my eyes very much deceive me if the: guns are mounted, Moreover, I can assure you that the guns have not been supplied to the new forts, and if all I hear 1s correct I very much question whether they are even ready, It has even been stated by the “leading journal” of this country that “the fortifica- tions throughout Engiand are mostly completed and armed.” The former | am willing toadmit, but the latter is a delusion.

The contemplated fying squadron I hear now 1s not to be fitted out, 18 Will give you some idea of the glorious uncertainty cf admiralty doings, For some four months ships have been pushed forward and kept in the first division of the steam reserve. The crews for the ships had been selected and borne on the books of the guard ships at the several ports ready to be told otf to the ships on their being commissioned; and at the last moment the Lords of the Admiraity alter their minds apd abandon the idea of forming @ second fling squadron, Probably they may next week alter their minds again, and order It to be got ready. I understand that Admiral Beauchamp Seymour, who was to have had command o! the squadron, an who was Friern G saMeged secretary to the present First Lord of the Admiralty, is thoroughly disgusted abeut it. The very fact of all the ships being named jor the service, his the Ni us, selected, aud @ picked crew for service on board her having been ready since the 15th of last month, at once shows the glorious state of anarchy and uncertainty which Reigns at Whitehall. Some of the crew for the ships Isaw on my recent visit to Plymouth, and without exception they were a splendid and remark- ably fine set of men; they have now been dratted into the two new armor class, the Audacious and Vanguard, which have been commissioned during the present week. The Invincible, another iron- clad, in all respects the same as the two I have meniioned, is to be commissioned at Devonport next Wednesday or Thursday and will be detached for coast guard service according to present arrange- ments, However, I should not be surprised if one of them is not ordered to join the Channel squadron, as 1 hear that either the Monarch or Hercules is to be detached from Admiral Wellesley’s squadron and proceed to the Mediterranean. THE NORTH AMERICAN SQUADRON. By this time, no doubt, Admiral E.G. Fanshawe, the new Commander-in-Chief of the squadron in North America’ and ihe West Indies, has arrived at Haltfax, ashe left Southampton on the 23d of last month, eight days aiter he was appointed to the command, and Admiral Wellesley, the late com- mander-in-chief, who 18 to have command of the Channel, is on his way home, as I hear that he will hotst his Nag on board the Minotaur beiore the end of the present month. Immediately on nis arrival the Channel squadron will procced to sea, THE FIRST LORD, Mr. Childers {a improving iu health and returns to the Admiralty next week should nothing unfore- seen occur to prevent him.

Parliament in Session—Democracy end Roy- alty—What the King Said of the War Crisis—Political PartiesThe Leaders, the People and the Franchise—The Schleswig- Holstein QuestionVisit from a French “Red? COPENHAGEN, Oct. 3, 1870. On the 38d inst,, at noon, the Danish “Rigsdag”’ (Parliament) was opened by the King in person, Denmark is a very democratic country and very litle attention 1s paid to pomp and mere external display. The opening of the Rigsdag may be said to be the greatest solemnity in the course of the year, but even this 1s @ plain atd simple affair enough. After attending divine service in the royal chapel the members assembled in the great hall of the second chamber, in Christiansberg Castle, of which a wing affords accommodations for the use of the Rigsdag. The galleries were well filled with spectators some time before twelve o’clocs, @ little before which time the royal gallery was entered by the Queen and Princess Thyra, accompanied by the King’s brothers, William and John. Im- mediately after the King and the Crown Prince made their appearance in the hail, accompanied by the Ministers and a suite of court offictais. ‘The King, who was heartily cheered by the members of the legislature, then ascended the throne, over Which was thrown the royal mantie of ermine, At the base of the steps were placed the three Danish silver lions, almost in lite size. Having received the manuscript from the President of the Council the King proceeded to read lis speech, which he did in a very distinct and emphatic manner. Repeated cheers of “Live the King’’ followed the delivery, after which his Majesty lefi the hall and the cere- mony was over. No foreign diplomats were present. The part of the speech which touches upon the relation of Denmark to foreign Powers ran thus:— Mighty events have shaken Europe since the last session of the Rigsdag. The war has approached our coasts also; but by strictly maintaining the neutral atiitude which we assumed in the begiuning, we have succeeded in protecting the country from the evils of war. Although it is not granted to human eves to foresee the conclusion of this great conflict, the hope which we repeatedly have expressed from this place remains firm that the question which still remains unsettled between Denmark and Prus- sia will receive auch a solution that the indepen- dence of the kingdom may be secured for the future, and the amicable relations with our powertul south- «yu nelghdor be further strengthened. THE REPRESENTATION. The Danish Rigsdag consists of two chambers, of which the first 1s called the Landsthing and the second the Folkething. The members of the Folke- thing, which body is by the constitution clothed with the highest legislative power, are elected directly by the people, according to the law of uni- versal suffrage. It is consequently in 1ts compo- nent elements the expression of the political views ofthe general mass of voters. The Landsthing, on the contrary, whose province is to represent the conservative interest, is made up of different mate- rial. It partiy consists of members chosen for life by the King, and partly of a larger number of mem- bers returned {rom certain electoral districts, which more particularly represent the interests of the varions classes of the community, The corporate towns and the country communes algo in these districts elect a certain number of delegates according to their population, with whom are ciated a corresponding number of the highest taxed voters of the district, mostly the wealtnier landed proprietors. This body of electors vote for thelr candidates for the Lands- thing according to a system of election which se- cures the rights of the minority, and was originally inance minister, the mathematician Andrie. ‘ibe plan has since been proposed in several foi elgn countries—in England, for instance, by Mr. Hare, and advocated by Stuart Mill. By means this system each of the three electoral groups, if they work together, will be able to return a certain nuinber of candidates, thus securing in the Lands- fied 4 fair Sp ep i of the various clasees and interests of the country, to wit, the aristo racy, the town populations and the lesser propri tors of the soil, to which are added the members chosen by the King, who represent the views of the varlous governments in power at the time. Every billin order to become law must be passed after three readings by both “Things” and receive the sauction of the King, who has the power of absolute veto. A motton may be made by a member of the government a8 weil as by members oj both Cham- bers. PARTIBS. ‘The political parties in Denmark may be divided, asin all other constitutional States, in three ma groups—a conservative “right,” a moderately pr gressive ‘centre’ anda more radical “left."? Within each Of these parties there exist farther divisions of every political shade and complexion. Tie “right is cMefly made up of the great proprietors of the soil, wlio, as above stated, are largely repre- sented in the Landsthing, but are almost uuknown in the Felkething, the lower chamber, The Danish noviitty has, properly speaking, only in late times participated in the political ilfe of the nation.

At that time the right was aries—the bureaucracy—which Nave now almost «tsappeared from the Rigsdag, being substituted by the landed aristocracy. The right, both the former and the present, has on several occasions joined the ieft against the moderate liberal party, and the last Danish Minisiry, Fras-Frisenborg, came to power by such @ coalition, thongh not a single member of {t was selected from the party of the left, and with which it Indeed did not long harinonize, The centre, or the so-called national liberal party, represents the views generally prevalent in Copenhagen and the corporate towns Jt was this party which, be- fore 1848, madé itself most conspicuous in’ the struggte for liberal institutions, and on that account was particularly conoxious to the government of the absolute kin; It came to power for the first tme in 1848, and its Jeaders have ever stnce, up to 1864, With but short intermissions, been atthe head of government. While the domestic policy of this party has been shaped with reference te a sieady but cautious pI in a liberal spirit, iis foreign policy 3 chiefly upon the preservation of Banish national independence, and its particular aim was to unite the ancient province of the Orown, Schleswig, by more intimate bonds to the kingdom proper, while it at the same time loosened its con: introduced in Denmark by a former prime and | composed of the higher rapks of public function- | } both from sweeping there. | hundred and fifty Catholic peas nection with the Duchy of Holstein, which was a ned, untortui ‘ws th DY Prussia for the attack on in th conquest of the two fifth parts of monarehy. ‘The party was shelved for a while alter the fatal year of 1864; but very latel, its leaders have easie tt seats in the Cabinet, jhrough the coalition between their party and the liberal landed proprietors, and it bas constanuy enjoyed the support of the educated middle classes. Latterly it » however, branched off in two aw , & Tight and “left centre,” and while in ndathing these groups make essentially one ty, they are distinctly separate in the Folkething, In which assembly the “right centre” forms the it wing of the “Thing,” proper “right” Wanting, and the ‘left centre’ constitutes {ts centre, The “left wing” is particularly supported by the small proprietors of the soil, the “Bindes.” THE FRANCHISE. The Vanish peasants, who up to the close .of the were little better than serfs, and only in 1848 received equal rights with the other estates, are stili not very enlightened, although perhaps not one could be found in the kingdom who could not read and write, They are consequently more than any other class Hable to be led by men who not always by knowledge or ability are entitled to the amount of influence they exercise. The party of the left 1s again divided in three dis- tunct groups—one, which has its headquarters among the Jutish peasants; another, which heads the pea- santry of the Danish isles, and a third, which has taken its name from that of the poet and theologian, Grundtwig, enone pecaiae religious and L tenets have been adopted by it. The common name for members of these three CA is the ven ner (the peasants’ friends). The Jutish Bondevenner are, on the whole, rather cosmopolitan tn their views, and the most radical of the branches. The followers of Grundtwig are, on the contrary ,Very ultra-national. ‘The isiund of Bondevenner occupies the sae sod. boeroae the two others. it year, however, tne three groups amalgamated EX ed Cha lel “Suz now hasa hora d in nd ething, which 16 made patent to-day by elect! the Speaker of the Chamber two ice Presidents and four Secretaries, out of its own ranks.

A striking P ularity of the Danish radicals is that they do not subscribe tosome of the dogmas which are the main pillars of strength ofradicalism abroad. The great majority is even Toyalistc in thelr tendencies, Republican ideas, which, on the whole, find but little acceptance in Denmark, are indifferently represented in the leli centre and by tne followers of Grandhwig. PARTY LEADERS, The chiefs of the right wing may be said to be the ex-Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Count Frijo, the greatest landed proprietor of the kingdom, ‘and the former Minister of the Interior, Estrup, The ac- knowledged leader of the nat'onal liberal party is the present Minister of Education, Hall, Other dis- tinguished men of the same party are—the preseiit Minister of Justice, Krieger; the Minister of Finance, Fenger; the two editors, Bille and Plough, the tormer of Dagbiadet, the latter of Fadrelaudet, and Prot. Fredericksen. ‘The most infiuentlal men of tne left are J. A. Hansen, emphatically a self-made man, who in his youth was a cobbler. and has attained to to his present position solely by his own exer- tions and ability; the old lawyer, B. Christensen, and Colonel Teherning. VISIT FROM A FRENCH “RED.” Denmark hasin these days been visited by one of the red republicans of France, a certain M, I’{Luiliier, formerly an officer in the navy, who achieved some notoriety during the empire by challenging a number of editors, and by his letters to the French Minister of Marine, which resulted in his being arrested. After the republic Was proclaimed he was appointed colonel of a baitalion of National Guards, recruited in one of the artisan quarters in Paris, and associated luimself with General Cluseret, ltseems, however, that the provisional yoverment found his presence incon- ventent, and, to be rid of him, he was sent to Copen- hagen on an errand to the French Baltic dect, which, inthe meanwhile, had been recailed without his knowledge. When he arrived here he found that the feet had left, and that he had been sent on a 1001's errand. He first turned up m the town of Aarhuus, in Jutland, where his scandalous conduct led to his being arresied. After his liberation he proceeded to Copenhagen, where he stayed for a week or so, saun- tering about on the streets in a semi-military cos- tume, He has now leit the country in a steamer for Engiand on his return to France, where he, no doubt, intends to have a reckoning With the govern- ment which sent lim on this wild goose chase to the North. JERUSALEM. The Religious Struggle at the Seat of Chris- tianity—Armenians and Catholics in Argu- ment and Conflict—Papal LInfallibility and Its Fruits—Theology and PolemicsThe Ser- mon on the Mount Not Repeated. CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 20, 1870. There have lately been some serious troubles at Jerusalem between the Armenian and the Catholic priests, growing out of the recentiy proclaimed dogma of Papal ipfallipility. This great wrong and evil to mankind will, in all probability, become the source of many others, and the dificulty in question is an example of those tocome. The “Bast,” as 15 weil known, is composed of many people who nave Jost their former nationalities, and are now heid together only a8 so many “communities” by their respective religions, or religious faiths, the one difiering in many respects from the other. Among these are the Greek, the Armenian and the Catholic “communities,” all subjects of the Sul- tan, who bas no; sympathies, a3 a Moslem, with them, or, at least, with none more than witn the other. To him all are Christians, and, as such, should be @ “united brotherhood.” The later, however, is far trom being the case, and he 1s called upon to keep them from mutual destraction and to preserve order among them, even in the ail holy of Jerusalem, where they constantly fight—it was over the bon at least the tomb, of their common Saviour! In consequence of the claimed rights of the Pope to compel the Armenians, who have been converted to Catholicism, to retain as their bishop a patriarch, Hassun, a Syrian, against thelr will, a schism has grown up which threatens to separate them, forever from Papal thraldom. The follow- ing extract from an Armenian local paper explains fully the affair at Jerusalem, to settle which the Sultan has lately sent Munif Effendi, President of the Board of Public Instruction, to the Holy City:— The 12-24th of Angust the Latin convent of Jerusalem requested-of his Excellency the Arme- nian Patriarch permission to celebrate, on the fol- Jow ing day, as it had been done annually, a mass in the Church of St. James. This was refused on the ground that if hitherto the Latins have been allowed to perform @ mass in that church and in that of the Holy Saviour, it had been only on the score of fra- ternity, Which should unite all Christians, By that means the new dogma put forth by the Pope, of his infailibility, creates another aificulty between the Roman and the Oriental Church and prevents the latter from acting with the Latin Cathoiles, as 1t for- meriy did. Such a maxim, as unexpected as it is intempestive, seems to be a8 unacceptable and con- trary to Christian theology as light 1s contrary to darkness; and though the word infallibility has been repeated, from time to time, in connection wita the name of the head of the Roman Church, the Armenians always held it to be oniy a réve or dream, the realization of which is a mat ter of utter tinpossibility; and now that this pre- tended dogina has formed the object of an Ecumenical Vouncil, and drawn so many bishops to Kome, and some from fear, others froin persuasion, to adopt it, there can no longer be any feeing in common between the Roman and the Oriental churches. | Chivistian humility compels the Arine- nians no longer to mention the Pope in their churches, who, in his haughty pride, dares to as- sume the title of ‘anialibility,”” and this we do by the will of our Catholicos or chief bishop. The Latins have sttpposed that this refusal proceeds from the quarrel which occurred at Betiileuem, at the be- ginning of this month, on the subject of tie sweep- ing of the five walks at the entrance of the northern | Part of the grotto of the Nativity. It seems, therefore, | proper that we should add a few word afar. The entrance to the north of tht Weill also as the Walks, are in our chureh to us, Since—more than thirty years—s door has been made tn the wali by the orders of the superior thority, to the north of our church, so ry to give a free passage to tne Latins Visiting the grotto, and from that time they have swept this passage, leading to the entrance, ae @ right. They obtained permission to open the door in question by cuusing it to believed that they had no means of reaching the grotto, while, in fact, they had @ door tn the grotto communicating at- rectly with their own convent, and Which ihey Use. Tt was in consequence of this new passage that they commenced sweeping the walks of ihe staircase, so that the Armenians sweep there one week and the Latins the other. 1 by have even spread the report that the Armenians have no right to sweep it atail, In consequence of this pretension the local authority (Mosiem) had to send policemen to preveut On this some sixty Fran- ciscan priests, with clubs concealed under their gowns, broke into the church, and telling the Turk- ish officer, placed there to keep order, that they dul not recogmize either government or Governor, began 10 sweep the staircase, On the day following the police caine again to keep the peace, when the sume p! $, increased to one hundred in namber, and accompanied by some one his, rushed to the church and declared that until the French Consul or their spiritual chief at Jerusalem forbade them they shonid continue to sweep the steps. How so grave @ question or so sweeping a one is to be settled cannot yet be seen. Munit [fendi, who is one of the most liberal and gentlemaniy of Mussuimans, will be deeply edified by the conduct of these Christian bretiren. If ttie Tunnee and Shea Moslems have their disagreements, at the hely tombs of Kerbelay, lately visited by your talented, young correspondent, they find a paraliel at the tomb of Christ—one venerated, though never wor- shipped, by all true Mussalmans; and the new dogma ofthe Pove, of infalhbillty, ene so productive of evil, be followed by a similar one by the Grand of Thibet, fs MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

Architecture is reviving rapidly in Holland. The latest European notes, compiled for the HeraLp from our mail files, go to show the following pro- gress:— At Helmond, near Eindhoven, Holland, new church, Between Helmond and Bois-le-Duc is Eindhoven. Mr. Cuypers has built a magnificent churci, the finest modern church in the Netherlands, Not far from Eindhoven is another very large and remarkable cliurch, by Mr. Cuypers, at # place called Vechel. In general arrangement it is somewhat similar to Eindhoven, except that it has only one western tower, and at the east end the chevet has two seni-octagonal radiating chapels and two tri- angular ones, and a lady chapel of two bays, ter- minating in an apse projecting from the east end. ‘Tne nave has one pay more than at Eindhoven. The superb monument in the cathedral of Breda to the memory of John of Nassau (fifteenth century) has been carefuily restored. The rest of the churéh is in @ most disgraceful condition, The nave alone is used by the Calvinists, At Ondenbosch a very large Roman Catholic church is being built. It is in the Komanesque style, butit entirely of brick. It consists of a nave and aisles, transepts and a cholr, terminating in a semicircular apse. At Rotterdam six new churches have been re- cently completed; four are Roman Catholic and two Protestant (Calvinist). The Hague has not distinguished itself in archi- tecture within the last few years. A horrible cast iron spire, of open tracery work, has been added to the tower of the old church, aud an equally bad new church bas been erected, A writer, dating in Holland, says tne Dutch Cal- Vinisis might proit by the example of their co-reli- gion:sts of Scotlandor Switzeriand, who are begin- hing to restore and take care of the old churches in their possession (vide the cathedrals of Glasgow and Basle). Speaking of the world’s supply of building mate- rials an English journal supplies the following cu- rious facts:—he denudation of the forests of Eng- land is by no means a new grief. More than 200 years ago Mr. Evelyn complained of the rapid extir- pation, “root and branch, of all those goodly forests @nd woous which our more prudent ancestors left standing for the ornament and service of their coun- try.” On the confiscation of the Church lands, in 16.6, immense forests Were cut down; and during the civil war that commenced a century later, many royal forests, a8 Weil as private woods, were entire- ly Swept away. In France there yet exist 2,700,000 acres of state forest, earning & gross revenue of £1,740,000 and a net revenue of £1,240,600 perannum. Bavaria con- tains nearly 2,000,000 acres of forest; Prassia, up- Wards Of 5,000,000; Austria, no less Ulan 13,000,000 acres, realizing an annual export value of £8,000,000 sterling. rs Forest schools are established at Hanover, New- stadt, Eberswaid, near Berlin; Thurant, in Saxony; Eisenach, and other places in countries possessing State forests, ‘The threatened and very proximate exhaustion of the enormous forests and_timber-growmg jungles under the British rule in India has lea to @ tardy attention being paid to this important subject by the Indian government.

Tegiciative Affaire—The Emperor's Slaves— The Nation’s Bondsmen—Financial Matters—Mortuary Returns— Spread of Goitre and Cretinism. Rio JANKIRO, Sept. 20, 1870. ‘The legislative session has been twice prolonged to the 224 to enable the budget for 1871-72 to be Passed by the Senate; and in order to keep the worthy legislators to their work, the government has coolly embargoed the departure of their majority by postponing the departure, stne die, of the only packet which could take them direct to their homes, Having thus effectually turned the key upon their flight the Tepresentatives of the nation feel that the govern- ment is now the master of the situation, and they are therefore quite ready to gothrough the form of as- senting to everything demanded of them by their masters, The Senate is briskly passing the various budgets of the seven Ministries without wasting the time upon amendments, although the opposition proposes @ Jew for form sake, and, Comanche like, while Yielding before their irrosistibls opponents, take care to send back flights of stinging missiles, which every now and then lodge deep, However, the Ministry affects not to feel the smart and keeps its troops to their work; for, beside the budget, it has to secure the authority to borrow thirty-five millions of milreis for the Dom Pedro IL, Railroad, and bas to geta credit of three millions more for building un- armored vessels of war. At this lato moment, and apparently as a sop for the Emperor, the Ministry bas introduced, and 1s pushing ona bill in the Chamber of Deputies to authorize the Emperor to free gratuitously any or all of these ‘slaves of the nation” to whose usufruct he 18 entitled. As the law is yet, he can free them only by paying their value to the national treasury, and in many cases he has done 60, although he does not avail himself of the usufruct of the hundreds under his control. Indeed the only usufract slaves who are not left to their own devices upon the Emperor’s lands are & number of the aged ones, chiefly females, who labor @ little upon the St. Christovam Palace grounds, ana are supported and housed at the Emperor’s cost. ‘The plea for the bill ts the very fair one that his Majesty should be relieved from the necessity of paying the value of those he fregs, which he 1s the less able to do that a large portion of his small civil lst 1s annually expended upon the improvement and enlargezent of the national palace at St. Chris- tovam, building being one of his hobbies. At the second reading of the bill a motion was made that the Chamber declare the preference be- tween it and the general bill of the Special Commic tee on Slavery. In answer to this challenge, given by the minority, the Minister of the Empire aeciared tat the government would accept or propose an amendment to authorize the government to free gratuitonsiy all the remainder of the national = siaves, and what it would. also push on a bill of last year, ordering a registration of all slaves in the empire. More than this the government would not yield this session, and he declared that he would accept the vote of the House in regard to the question of preference as a vote of coniidence or its want. With this under- standing the vote was taken and the government secured its point by & majority of 64 (o 21, When the bill relative to the national slaves is be- come law it 1s expected that tae Emperor will 1mme- dtately issue a decree emancipating all the usuiruct slaves, some 700 to 800, but from the tone of the min- istertal speeches it does not seem probable that the government will use its power in regard to the other thousand or so national slaves to any extent imme- diately, but will probably liberate them in propor- tion as 1t can dispose of the national grazing estates upon which the majority are domiciled, and which hardly pay the cost of management, All the other bills before the Qhambers lag, for the legislators do not feel in any humor to spend their time listening to dull speeches while they can enjoy the war and town gossip in Rua do Ouvidor, andcan criticise the pretty girls passing in feathered hats, short dresses, and high-heeled boots, for doing which they have the very valid excuse that they must bring back to their feminine constituency in the provinces @ full, true and particular account of the latest fashions at the Brazillan Medina. ‘the consequence is that the fashionable street is very much frequented now by the raven-ciad, lean, sWarthy, talking machines whom the brazilian Police select to take A gs in the legislative farce per- formed annually in Kio, at a cost of some $1,200 each machine, Notwithstanding all the promises of reforms made in the beginning of the season, the session of 1870 18 golng to close without the passage of oneof them.

As for measures to remove the admitted abuses which degrade the people, they have been either wholly neglected or exist only in pretence, proving to the utmost the truth of the opposition’s assertion that the Itaborahy Cabinet never had eny serious intention to effect reforms, ‘The Minister of Finance rarely has troubled him- self to attend the Chambers; put or late, during the debate on his budget and the general provisions of the estimates for 1571-72, he has been showing him- self in the Senate, uttering pleasant sayings in re- gard to the finances. Among other things he has told us that the balance in the Treasury is such as he believes will enable hiro, with the aid of the sale of bonds of the internal debt, to settle up the war lia- bilities and provide for the prolongation of the Dom Pedro Raliroad without effecting a foreign loan.

Of them 991 free were from yellow fever and five slaves.

The Cropp—A Poor Harvest—The State a Commerce in Canada. MONTREAL, Oct, 17, 1870. In the west of Ontario fall wheat is a poor crop, ten to twelve bushels per acre being the average. Spring wheat has not prospered much better, fifteen to twenty bushels being generally reported. Barley 18 a short crop, ranging from twelve to twenty-five bushels, eighteen being a fair average, but almost all the yield is dark of color. Oats yield very fairly, say from thirty to forty-five bushels peracre. Hay 1s scanty, except in high lands. Root crops ara heavy and trait plentiful. Wet weather spolied the wheat and barley, and caused an unfavorable hay harvest. Midge and weevil did some damage, but it Was confined to a few localities. In Central Ontario fall wheat has prospered a Iittle better, until near Belleville, say fifteen to eighteen bushels, with exceptional higher ranges, or about a two-thirds crop. Spring wheat shows poorly—ten to twelve bushels is a fair average. Barley isa short crop—fifteen to twenty-thret bushels reported, and berry very dark. Uats are well spoken of—thirty te thirty-five bushels of average quality, but the hay crop is a complete failure in gta and quality. Roots and fruits have done well, Jy Eagtern Ontario spring waeatis not an average; twelve fiiteen bushels is only occasionally r ported, and I think even ten @ high average. Fall wheat is betier than further west, and the yield about the saime—about fifteen busheis. Barley 1s generally reporied short and dark. Oats, a very good crop and of good quality. Haycrop not worth cutting. Roots and fruit are a little above the average. Maize is unusually good this year. in Quebeo wheat 1s but lite grown, not suff- ctently lo be reported.

Be was accompanied by his chief of staff, Captain Johnston B, Creighton, and Master John T. Sullivan, aid. The Admiral and staff were received with the customary honors The Marine Guard was drawo up in the port waist of the ship in full uniform, and presented arms as the Port Admiral stepped upon the quarter deck.

The splendid ship was found to be in perfect order from keel to truck and ready for any’ service. Te- morrow the powder is to ve taken on board, her shell rooms filled for along cruise, Nothing more remains to be done after that final prepara- tion before the ship is ready for sea. She is likely tosail in ten days, as her relief, the sloop-of-war Narragansett, Lieutenant QOommander George Dewey, will doubtless arrive in port to-day or to- morrow. The Court of Inquiry, of which Rear Admiral Sylvanus W. Godon is President, met yester- day again in the Admuiral’s cabin of the Guerrlere. The examination of Captain Ste- vens was continued aud concluded. That of Captain Dunham, the Nantucket pilot, was begun, and the Court was very extensively informed of the Captain’s supremely invaluable erforts to get the ship off and their very successful termination.

The United States corvette Shenandoah, eleven guns, Commander Clarke H. Wills, sailed from Boston for Lisbon in the early part of Septem- ber, to join the European squadron. She ts the only ship that 1s likely to have been in the track of the British snip at the date mentioned. However, it is probable that the Shenandoah is all right and will soon be heard trom at her port of destination. It is quite evident she was not in need of assistance, else the British ship would have been spoken and aid de- manded.
