His mag- Mificent speeches on civil and religious liberty, slavery, the republic, &c., have given him a world- wide reputation, Me has just added to them a speech Of opposinon to the government of King Amadeus, m which be has treated of the vanous public questions at present agitating political society dota 1 and out of Spain, in a manner which can- not fail to mlerest and instruct. I have, therefore, translated /or your readers the matn portions of this gteatspeech, With many of his sentiments they may not agree, but they cannot fail to be charmed with hts uoique and forcible mode of putting things, with bis deep mand of historical tlustration, nis Jain in the republic, and bis enuneiation ot the great principles which bind the nations in one common brotherhood. His speech was nov Wwithoat its eect, for after he had concluded and = been replied to by Marshal Serrano, Selor Rivero, Senor Martos and others, the Minis- uy resigned en masse. Though the King refused to accept the resignation, as not being the result of any parliamentary defeat,and at his bidding Serrano and his companions all returned to oMce, yet nopody belleves they can hold together much longer, for With so many elements of discord witnin, and anta- gonisis hke Castelar without, the task of forming the Spanish Cabinet at present 1s no easy one. Cas- telar and bis friends have sworn to agitate, and agi- tate, and agitate, until they plant the republic in Spain. Hence: they wage perpetual war on the young King and his government, and spare no ex- ertion to disgust the one and to upset the other, With these remarks let me proceed to the GREAT SPEECH OF EMILIO CASTELAK IN THE SPANISH CONGRESS, SENORFS DiPUTADOS—I canno secrating a few words to the anntversary this day commemo- rates in the annals of Spanien liverty. On this day, at this very hour (22d June, 1806), the rebellion concluded which the Ministers of State, Gobernacion and Fumento (pointing to Martos, Sagasta and Zorrilla, respectively, in the binco eu!) headed agaist the Minisiers of Grace and Justice, Ultramos ani the President of toe Council of Ministers (pointing to Uline, Ayala and Serrano).

Castelar is always ready to bring America into his speeches. and rouses hts audience into enthusiasm when he does so.

FORFIGN DOMINATION, Having thus arrived at one of the points of his ceaseless animadversions, the Savoy dynasty, ne tuus contunued:— Yes, foreign domination, whieh obliges us even to doubt ourselves, to doubt our national character and to fear that we soall be persecuted even veyond the tomb by the maledie- Hons of our fathers, whose bones are scattered in the detiles of ‘atongaapiof Brauch, under tne waves of Cadiz and on the sacred soil of Zaragoza and of Gerona, in holocaust to this ereat principle, the government of the nation by {is owa sons— immortal, inextingnishable principle; for Spain, either Js nothing and represents nothing in the world, or she is the Jving poem of independence—the eternal example, where all ovpresse nations, from Bohemia to Poland, and all dismem- Lered nations, (rom Greece to France, may learn how to fubt for wational dignity or how to die for liberty and for country f Electrical applause followed this grand period, for Castelar never omits an opportunity of singing peans in its country’s honor, He resume ‘The responsibility of the men who have brought us to these eatremes is great now before the world, and will be great to- All governments have their action | vi, Dat that of the present government ali time, They had to found a new reqine and accredit anew regime Which aspires to be perennial re- purity stedness, much expansion | d great amount of good proposition he rejme y had t pov Was especialy dilicult, the or a of the Which ever supposes great ap- Ore ald greater aptitudes of prudence e governed.

He said something more than his faith IN an ,eppostte solution led him to that beliet— namely, nis doubt of the various factions who had brought ‘the monarchy holding together to sustain it. “have aight to believe our governing parties are without faitn in. their own creation. I judge them without faith, without belief in the perpetuity of their work, when I see contounded those who preach the predominance: of liberty over authority and those Who preach the predominance of autho- rity over liberty; those who prociaim fundamental rights to be illegisiatabdle, With tuose who wish not ouly to legislate them, but also to destroy them; the republicans of yesterday with the monarchists of ail ume; the Persecuted with the persecutors; those who, like Sehor Becerra, here pliced the In- surrectionary match in the hands of the artullery- men of 22d June, 1866, with those who impiously shot the artillerymen in the outskirts of Maurid ten days afterwards: those who then demanded a per- petual dictatorship, a perennial state of siege and SIX years O1 Silence, with those who by virtue of the excesses of victory were condemnea to death, Out of this chaos and confusion ot ideas I believe nothing can come but the loss of authority and the falsification of liberty, destruction in administration and bankrupicy in finance |"? He then took a rapid view of the different political principles professed by the men who composed the “majority” of the Cortes, which he compared to a Babel. He said this great confusion offended the sight and wounded the conscience. Things could not last thus long without the Spanish people falitng into demency, furious demency. “Joined to an American principle, an Asiatic principle—joinea to a privudeged Church, tree reason—joined to a mon- archy, with all its attributes—individual rights, Wii all their Consequences—joined to individual Tigats, the promibition to discuss the king, aud Joined to this prohibition to discuss the kiag the re- publican axtom of the residence tn the people of all the powers, and @he emanation Of all the powers trom the right of the peopie.”” Having thus exposed the evils they were living under Castelar made an atiack on Marshal Serrano, the President of the Ministry.

SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE. The question of Rome can only be solved by a radical separation between Church and State. But the arch and the state can only be separated in & political and social form more ample thaa the monarchy. When our mtnys record Daseee over oe sts at tata upon the ich ovel mounts 0 Seem stretched” the ideas which have — indltrated themselves in all codes and in all civilization; when we look at ita streets of crumbling and of broken Sepuichres; when we see rising nbove the Pantheon ot ail gous, and above the forum of all men, and above the capital Which was the brain of mankind, whence sprung the first compact of civil liberty, and the democracy which had to fllthe world -the dome’ of St. Peter, lost among the clouds, with the virgins of Rafael which sanctited the ancient when our Greek beauty, the ‘of Michael Angelo, which sre an imperishable srialogue of the Bible,” the Gospel and the classic poetry: when we observe that over some monuments there linger the spirits of the Consuls, of the Senate, of the Tribunes; while over others there linger those of the martyrs and aposties—the whole forming a city without rival in the earth, without example in history, and ‘we are persuaded that whatever there is of ‘andeur apd {mmortality in its heaps of ashes, in the rever- rations Of the {infinite orations which mount to the heav- ens, in its political and religious records, now that the cis- Alpine Gaul isexpelled, asks that radical separation of the temporal from the spiritual, of the Church from the State, which 1s only possible and practicable in the breast of that torm of government to which Rome owes its eternal glory and prestize—in the breast of the republic! Castelar then proceeded to the second part of his speech—namely, a review of Sheproposod message of the Congress to the, Crown. He thought it very hard that he should not be allowed to discuss the rsonality of the King, It seemed as if he was ike God—to be admitted, but not discussed; to be believed mm, but not reasoned over. ORIGINAL MONARCHY. Monarchy had at first something aivine and supernatural in it, Mystery enzendered it. Tne heavens poosessed it. Its trast’ foundera were confounded with the gods. Its first achtevements were the theme of epics and of fables, The riesta were the vanguard of its army. The temple was an Integral part of its palace. The bones of the martyrs of the jaw and of the country formed the base of ite throne. The inspirations of the artists of faith formed the emeralds of its crown. It wore a mantle woven with the fibres of the na- tional hfe, Itheld a sceptre which represented the rays of victory, and its brow was anointed with the sacred oll, Iik the cosmetic material of nfinite space. The people received it as the Nuncio of God, and obeyed it'as the testamenta of the dead are obeyed by the hving—indisputab! wiolably, sacrediy. ‘They believed in it for faith, they obeyed it tor faith, they sustained it for faith, But how precisely the reverse is it nowadays with the poor “democratic kings.” They are born rickety under the scalpel of criticism, and they die without glory, without honor, at the foot of the barricad What was it the Spaniards sald in reality to the King they sought? It was this:—“King of the Spanish nation | Know that we will discuss thee continually, all thy suvjects will dis- cuss thee coustantly. Know that ‘every newspaper bas a right to examine thy origin and thy titles, and to propose, firat in public meetings aud then in the electoral colleges. that thy reign may cease, thy origin be denied and thy claims broken. “Know that above thy person and thy dynasty ie tn sovereignty of the nation, in the which reside essentially ail the powera and from the which they all emanate, Conse- quently thon art not the representative of the ancient faith and the ancient traditions. Thou art not the authority dele- gated by God, Thou art nothing, either above or beyoud I will not say society or the nation, but even the oscillations of the majority of the Chamber, Universal suffrage will ever remind thee that thy dynasty will not be stacle in Spain, but that thou must jeave thy throne the day ia which it is asked of thee by the trae sovereign—-namely, the people. In a tone semi-jocose, semi-serious, the orator proceeded to detail the varions efforts made to induce somebody to take the crown on the foregoing terms unul it Was accepted by Amadeus, Duke of Aosta. ENGLAND AND THE HOUSE OF SAVOY. He thought England had a great deal to do with the acceptance of the House of Savoy. At last the House of Savoy accepted the present of the Spanish crown, which it refused when offered to its Prince ‘Tomas, Duke of Genoa; for Napoleon was then on the throne of France, and Napoleon never would have consented that two princes of the same house should reign, one in the Alps and tue other in the Pyrenves. But the policy of Great Britain, which wishes always to have the maritime natioas under her tutelage; whose tlag waves in Malta to watch Italy and Greece; in Gibraltar to watch Spain and France; waich has its protection manifest in Lisbon to watch the mouth of the Tagus, and {ts protection mauifest In Bru: to watch the mouth of the Scheldt—this Britannic p smoothed over the dificuities your solution might have ex- cited, T admire much che English nation. Bat I declare THEY NEVER CAN BE OUR ALLIK6 WHILE THEY POSSESS GIBRALTAR. The war offered to the altar of a Hohenzollern was by a Savoyard, ‘The Cortes were convoke pended and convoked again, according as t heved or doubted the provabiliues of the canii- dature. In splte of the precautions taken to impede all dis- cussion the King was discussed, dissected by tue scalpin; knife of criticism, so fatal to the prestige of permanent an durable instrtutions. Tne grand and Teal kings, who sleep in the granite ot th ids or in the grauite of the Escn- Tial, ancient, like the soll of the nations among which they lived, and respected ilke their gods, those who mingied the genealogy of the legendary heroes and the semi-gods, those who inspired the great poems, from the Iliad to the Roman- cero, inspired the pencil of Rubens and of Velasquez, forged the swords of Bayard and of Gonzalez of Cordova, and merited note from Suakspeare, Cul- deron and Raciae—kings like those, whose immor- tal crowns were founded as creative fre in the entrails of the planet, eternal aymboi tives of everything that a monarchy can indisputable authority, uninterrupted tra Stability, religious unity, prestige above, obedien: silence Delow—cannot understand what you now cali ki ‘and how it is that you believe those to be kings who, {nstead of being created from faith, abneatjon, loyalty and monar- chical virtues, have been created trom doubt, from criticism, from free examination, from the national sovereignty, from democracy, and who owe their crowns to 191 plebeians! Yes, 191 plevetans, who, instead of carrying in their hands the holy oil divine, carried on them the marks of the powder they burnt in their rebellions, and offered for all the support of the new throne the bioody ‘timbers of the barricades o/ the copie. PNbbody can forget in Spain the celebrated session of the lsth of November last--the people excited; their minds un- autet; thousands of menaces in th the entire garrison under arms; the artillery at the gate of Alcala and m the Retiro; the ceili of this palace and its attics peopied with lice; questions the most audacious asked from all the Benches ‘and answered now amld anger, now amid laugh- ter, now amid applause; the scrutiny In which our tate was re the profound, irreconcilable divis- I parties ‘and the threatening the republica e results prociatmed amid withouf one single cheer, one siugie cry of came the eud—the rules violated by a peech from the President, in which, to satisty the e looked the Cathol: mof Vergara, to silence ublicans he looked universal suffrage and the popular vote at the very moment it was being insulted by the denial Of ae nd to raise the enthusiasm of all be evoked riues on the part of Amadeus of Savoy, whicu I but which cannot xceptional titles to aspire to the first post atnong the Spauish people. Castelar then sketched the voyage of the Commis- siou of the Cortes to Italy, their doings there, their return, the arrival of the King, &c., in masterly and eloquent language, and then reaewed hia attacks again and agaiu on the King and government. He disapproved of the latter as being one of what is called conciliation, that is to say, composed of udionists, progressists and democrats—the tree political parties who make up what is at present the “majority” of the Chamber. He said that he and his friends would wage eternal warfare agamst such @ Ministry, though to one composed of raai- cals—that is to say progressists and democrats—they would be disposed to ve tolerant and even ben lent. General Serrano caught at the siraw and asked the orator to say what he meant, for he would try to form such @ ministry if the republicans would lend it support, Castelar’s answer is best given his own Words. CASTELAR'S ANSWER TO GENERAL SERRANO. A duty of courtesy and patriotism obliges me to answer the ion put to me by the President of the Councti of Minis- What I said respecting the Ministry I repeat, and my companions agree in my words. I cannot renounce iny ideal, which in the republic. J believe iny party w constitutional party withip the present inetitutions, When I preach the re- public when I carry it to the electoral colteges or bring it to the Asembly—I represent a legal, constitutional aspiration. Thie is the difference between the narrow regimen we have broken and the ample regimen we have estaviished, Well, gentiemen, this ideal I will never renounce. We will not Support unconditionally any government which is not com- osed of our own companions, such as Senors Oreuse, Figneror, Pi Margall, dc. We can enter into no comprom with any majority. A ministry of conciliation we would yndge in the act, condemn and oppose. The tree is known by struts, and ite traits we are caung now. We will te the implacable enemies of such a Miniatry, But if there should come a radical Ministry—as that approaches most to the lett—we would receive it in expectant and every benevo- lent wttitase, THE SUNKEN DRY DOCKS, Cause the Sinking—Process of Raising. Workmen are busy, under the direction of Mr. Mason and other officers of the Dry Deck Company, trying to raise the two sunken docks, one of which pier between Pike and Rutgers streets, About two weeks ago last Friday they attempted to take one section of the dock at Clinton street out jo the evening; while doing s0 a truss or scarf is supposed to have given oul. They took out three | sections to haul them round previous to floating tn a vessel, This was about twelve at mghi, At three | in the morning some ol the blocks tripped and | stove a hole in the bottom of the iank or of one of the sections, and to this is atiributed tie fact of the dock sinking. Atthe other dry dock, between Rutgers and Pike streets, which is twenty-seven by eighty feet, a spor 1s suppose’ to have Noaled wider and punched a hole in the hottom of one of the sections, havin; been violentiy propelled against It by the action of | the tide, which at that polut is very strong. On Tuesday last the section sank, despite all efforts to prevent lt, when the men were engaged tn lowering itto take ina propeller. The diver (Captain Scott) discovered a place where the water oubbles in, and | frum this, they believe, comes ail the trouble. For the purpoze of raising the section a number of ‘s—looking like canal boats—belonging to the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, are employed, The juak- quantity water constantly running in through the holes they have also to contend with the great suction power of the mud in which the dock 1s part- ly imbed: . It is confidently expected that the docks wil be raised by Wednesday, aad will then | be speedily repaired, | Es i é | FUNERAL OF PROF. BERG IN NEW BRUNSWICK. ‘The funeral of Rev. Professor J. F.

CUYLER. His Ninety-ninth and One Hundredth Sermons in Saratoga. BSanaToGa, July 23, 1871. Rev. T. £. Cuyler, of Brooklyn, has spent a portion of twenty-two summers in Saratoga. On Saturday he delvered in the Presbyterian church his ninety- ninth discourse, in presence of one of the largest audiences ever assembled in the town. Hunareds were unable to gain admission, The Doctor an- nounced as his text Luke xvi., 22—‘It came to pass that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom; the rich man also died and was buried.” ‘The chief bearing of this startling parable of ouc Lord 1s not upon time but upon eternity. Like a lighthouse on @ headland it throws its be ims out over the dark, unsounded sea before us, It teaches the Immediate transition of the soul either into a state of torture or of triumphant glory. Witle the body of poor Lazarus was gnawed by tne dogs his spirit was in Abraham's bosom at the banquet of buss, While the rich man’s body was being sumptuonsly buried ni3 selfish soul was already in the agonies of tne hell he had prepared for himseit by a grasping, godiess life, Is it asin tobe rich? No; for weaith is a reservoir which, if filed by honesty and drained by Christian liberality, is blessing to the world. Not what a man gets but what he gives makes him rich, Such men as Lenox and Dodge and Williston onght to make | Money for the glory of God and the good of men as much as Spurgeon ought to preach tie glorious Gos- pel. This parable is like the red light which 1s swung at midnight before the rashing railway train. It means danger ahead, 1t means destruction anu death eternal to the seifish sinner who lives without God, The flames of hell may be within the lost soul or around tt, No matter which; etther 1s damnation. To-day I wave the signal lantern of danger from this pulpit, Let every unconverted soul tn this assembly be warned in season aud flew to the cross and the outstretched arms of Jesus Christ. In the evening Dr. vuyler preached to a great crowd in the Congregational church, He pretaced his discourse by saying that his first sermon to the people of Saratoga was delivered twenty-four years ago, inthe basement lecture room of the ola Pres- byterian church, then under the pastorate of Kev. Dr. Chester. Since that time he had been permit- ted to address many thousand auditors from te Various puipits of the town, and to-night he hai reached hig hundredth discourse. He had ofica addressed appeals to the unconveried, und often given counsel to God’s people on the Christian life, ‘To-night he would discourse on the spintual out!ook of Europe and the uprising against the Papacy. Tie hand of God in the nistory or the last eventiul twelvemonth js too mantiest to be mistaken. If you look you will see a hand- writing on the wali, ‘The words of our text are in the thiru verse of the second chapter Second Thessalonians—‘*For that day shall not come except there comes a falling away first, and that man ui sin be revealed, tne son of perdition.” This is a remar able photograph.

Although seventy-two years old he has taken @ “new depariure’ and headed a great movement of rebellion against the Councii’s mon- strous decree, His five propositions against te fope’s decree he offers to mainiam; if they are false he offers to recant and submit. A conference of eminent Catholics has just been held at Munich which sustains Dillinger, and eighty-one have signed an address to the people of Germany, calling on tuem to renounce the “dozma of the Vatican.” Tne King of Bavaria ts with Dollinger; so are sixty-five of the protessors at Munich. So are thousanus of the peo- ple in triumphant Germany. Déllinger has been expelled from the sacraments of the Church, and no Christian burial is to be permitted to his bones.
