NEW YORK HERALD. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 17, 1671.—TRIPLE SHEET. But will that produce harmony? Will not the new “outs” be ss sulky as the new “ins” ‘once were. But the official patronage of the Btate of New York being newly placed at the disposal of the administration there will prob- ‘ably be plunder enough to satisfy the greed of the most clamorous among the republican place-seekers, Our St. Petersburg — Correspondesce= Growth of Russia in Material Wealth and Politicul Greatness. In our issne of this morning we publish a letter from the Hxratp’s correspondent in St. Potersburg. The correspondence is interest- Ing and instructive, as it will tend to dis- abuse the minds of many persons of the erroneous views and wrong cone»plions they have formed of the great empire of Northern Burope. Particular attention will now, more than at any othor time, be directed to mattera ‘Bpportaining to Russia, from the fact that we will shortly have among us asa gues! the son of the only Eurcpean potentate who truly and Openly sympathized with us in our struzgle for the muintenance of the republic of the United States “under one government and under one flag. It is the recollection of this active and updisguised sympathy which animates the American people at this time to accord to a prince of the Rossian empire a geanine republic :n welcome to our shores. In more respecis than one fe it a fitting occasion for us to give our readers the sketch of itussia as & is which has been so opportuncly for- warded us from our correspondent in St. Petersburg. The empire, it will »+ seen, has mot lagged behind in the prozress which in almost every clime marks the age in which we live. Attentiv: perusal of the brief correspond- ence referred to—brief when we consider the magnitude of the subject treated—illustrates the rapid progress which Russia has made during the just twenty years. he resalt of the Crimean war pointed out to the imperial government at St. Petersburg the weakness of the empire iuscveral respects. Th» lesson was profited by, and perhaps to the disasters which Russia experienced in that memorable campaign may be credited the vast network of railroads Which now spreads itself all over the dominions of the Czar, For the construction of these works foreign labor had to be introduced, and the comparisons instituted between the work- Hngmen of other lands and those of Russia Suggested to the advisers of the Crown, no Woubt, the nevessity of gre.ier intelli- gence among the poor classes, The Czar, alive to the importance of the subject, gladly favored the idea of improving the con- dition of bis subjects, and now almost all of the Jarge towns of the empire can boast of schools for the education of the people. Even in the villages sciools are springing up, and the good prork which emancipation inaugarated is being Completed. The fruits of this spread of liber- alism—for liberalism in a certain sense it may be considered—bas already exercised a healthy influence over the minds of the masses, hey are improving, and in no way so marked as in the treatment of their women. The wife of the serf was doubly a slave—a slave to ber maater and worse thana slave to her hus- * band; but the dawn of a betier intelligence mong them has taught him a different line of oonduct. While in the directions we have indicated pro- gression marches on with appreciable strides, in other respects not more necessary to the tare greatness of the empire are improvements the less marked. Official corruption, long a standing d sgrace to the country, is disappear- Ang and giving way to a more honest discharge of duty by those who hold office. Com- gmunal instituiions in the provinc:s have now an existence, and the people have a voice in the management of their local affairs. Trial by jury at present affords the subject charged with an off-nce a protection which he was for- merly deprived of, and capital punishment will, ere long, cvase to exist. The poor have now that pro‘ection by means of wise and just laws Which formerly was possessed only by the rich, and the cruclties in former times prac- tised on prisoners have now little or no exist- ence. Russia of the past and the empire of the present afford a study both interesting and instructive. The history of the last twenty years reveals an improvement within its boundaries, the more remarkable because of the opposition with which many of them were met by the nobility, The liberation of the serfs showed that the Czir was alive to rogress ; the construction of railroads proved ‘is appreciation of the great pari which steam Is to play in the developments of the future ; the attention given to mining and agriculture points out that Alexander is not unaware of the rich bounties which nature has bestowed upon his dominions, and his ability to utilize them so that they uray redound to the benefit of his gadjects is cvidenced in the many works in progress throughout the country, Under the rule of Alexandyr the press possesses a de- gree of freedom not enjoyed by some other European nations boasting of greater enlight- enment. ‘i'ravel is free and unrastricted, and Protection is accorded to the tourist from no matter what clime he hails. In thus speak- ing of Russia we do so with pride, because it records the elevation of a people recently sunk in a slate of social demoralization by serfdom ; and in the greeting with which the Grand Duke Alexis will be welcomed to the shores of free America we do honor to the potentate who has done so much towards promoting the growth of Russia in material wealth and politi- cal greatavss.

The Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli has been elected Lord Rector of the University of Glas- gow. From time immemorial it bas been the privilege of the students at the University of Glasgow to testify their appreciation of the public men of the day by selecting from their ranks a Lord Rector, The office is purely honorary and is held for two years. The Lord Rectorship of the University of Glasgow has been an object of ambition to many of the most illustrious statesmen and authors of the three kingdoms, and the chair, which has never been filled by an inferior man, bas been honored by some of the brightest names in politics and literature. Edmund Burke, Sir Robert Peel, Lord Macaulay, Lord Eglinton, Sir Archibald Alison, Lord Palmerston, the Duke of Argyll and Lord Lytton have all proudly accepted the honor. To this list of illustrious namos musi now be added that of the Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli—a man who, in spite of *he disadvantages of race and fortune, has worked his way to the bighest platform of political and literary power and famo, ‘The one great duty of the Lord Rector is to deliver an inaugural address.

Tho sportin; press of England and America have been discugsing for several weeks past the probability of an international horse race, the animals selected by the parties who wish to bring about the affair being the American colt Harry Bassett and the English colt Ster- ling. We do not thiok that there ever will be a meeting between these famous race colts, for the reason that Colonel McDaniel, the owner of Harry Bassett, will not go to England under any circumstances, and Joseph Dawson, the trainer of Sterling, cannot spare time to come over here, M¢Daniel has en- gagements with his stable next summer amounting to over one hundred thousand , dollars, and he cannot think of neglecting these for the glory of going to England to ran a match with Sterling or any other horse in the realm. Dawson is similarly situated at home, and has not time to spare to come to America, national horse race may as well be dropped for he present, as there is no probability of its coming off. Colonel McDaniel, however, says that be will match Harry Bassett against any horse in the world after the first week in June next, and should any of our transatlantic cousins wish a race they can have one by bringing their horses to this country. Harry Bassett will not*go to England. Personal Intelligence. General Clinton B. Fisk, of St. Louis, is at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.

A Pontifical Protest Expected from Pio Nono. Monastic Property and the Law of Mortmain. TELECRAR TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Roms, Nov. 16, 1871. It ig alleged in poiltical circles heve that [1s Moll- ness the Pope intends to address a communication, or Vatican royal note, to the Cabiners of the differ- ent European monarchies, tn wiieh he will prosest formal’y against certain acts 0. the italian govern- ment in Rome an: at oiher points of the domain of the Church as violations of international law and of the rignts and dignities of the countries concerued, by une fact of their maintaining reiations with the Holy see. POINTS OF THE PAPAL INDICTMENT: The Pope’s note will specify, among other acts, the expulsion of nuns of various nationalities from their convents and the forcible suppression and closing of certain international relizious houses, h Opinion of tho Italian Position? be Law o: Morimnin and Monastic Titles. Should the Pope persevere in his intention of |a- dicting the polloy of King Victor Kinmanuel wita respect to (ho seizure of the property of tne monas- Uc orders ia Rome, by the issuance of a formal royal protest addressed in the name of the Church to the Monarchies aud Cabinets ot Hurope outside of lvaly, he will place a tughly important subject before the different Ministers for direct consideration. The London Times anticipated the advent of a diplomatic and public crisis ‘rom this cause some time since by the publication of an editorial article Bri in which the writer said:— The question ot the Roman convents threatens to bring the Italian government into serious difficul- ties. In their eagerness to go to Rome, or rather under the necessity ol yielding to the popular outcry for the possession of Kome, the statesmen ruling in the name of King Victor Emmanue! bound them- | selves to two distinct policies, which tucy now do not find 1t easy to reconcile. ‘they prociaimed we rinciple of ‘‘airee Church in a free State,”’ and hey guaranteed to the Pope not only the fullest in- vioiability of tis person an dignity, but also the unlimited exercise of his spititual authority, It so happens, however, that in Rome the Pouiil’s spire 1tual authority Was lu & great measure identilied with nis temporal power. Consejuently it was not easy to atlow the Church freedom con+ sigtently with any scheme aiming to cure tall her soveretguty. ome was the Holy City. All that was connected with the religious life of the Cathone world was at home within its walls, From the Pope and his College o1 Cardinais to the meanest lay brother in a Capuchia convent, the hierarchy constituted one body—a body which, notwithstanding tue local cuaracicr ol the Papal principality, was neither Koman nor Italiau, but universal, and inciuded representatives of ail na- uons. If the Church was to be perfectly tree throughout the Italian kingdom, and yet to have its seat.tn its capital, clearly nothing whatever that belonged to it could be touched—none of the con- vents, and especially none of those which were placed under foreign protection, and none of those goutral houses at ) head of monastic orders, Heh have their raiitications all over the world. Jesuits and — Franciscans, — Pominicans | and Augustiolans have all their ‘generals’ or special Popes in Rome, these, with their numerous staffs, are as — integral @ part of the Papal spiritual establishment as the Pontiff himself, On the other hand the Italian gov- ernment came mto possession of Rome ag tie ad- ministrator of the laws of the Italian kingdow, aud was obliged either to proceed to the immediate application or so to modify them as to render them compatibie with the peculiar circumstances of the capital, without, however, making them repug- nant to the liberal aspirations of the country. ‘Lhe abolition of monastic order's in Ltaly was first voted by the Piedmontese Pariiameat in 1355. Four or five years later the so-called Ratazzi law was ex- tended to all Lue annexed provinces; but it was re- vised with Important modifications in 1865-7, ata time when the King’s government entertained some hopes of reconciliation with the Court of Rome, and deemed tt possible to attain that object by an exten- sion of the liberties of the Church. — By these enact- ments mopastic establishments ceased to exist as communities and their property was confiscated, pensions being only allowed singly to their Members during thei: iietime. The brotherhood or sisterhood was Dot, :) » over, in all Insvances com- peilled to go immediaiciy asuoder, and the munt- cipal corporations which came into possession of the a houses were freqaently induced to allow the ates to abide in them, clubbing together their annuities, and contriving :o live pretty much as they did before. As, however, all novitiate was prohibited, and the brethren were not allowed to add to their number, the extinction of the orders, though only gradusi, was no iess inevitable. On these terms the convents contrived to linger on throughout the country, and even in its late seat of government, Florence, where nunveries esnectally suffered hardly any disturbance. But in Rome laws of this nature, however mitigated in their practical application, could not pass without violent cunten- tion, The Jacobins of the French Convention of 1792 and the Mendizabal Cabinet in Spain of 1835 could annihilate ali the monks and nuns within their respective boundaries without affecting the general interests of monast'¢ orders. There would sttll be Capucnins in the world, even though there might no longer be French or spanish | Capucnins. But italy cannot introduce her laws into Rome withoat striking monasticism at the root. With the ‘generals’ of bis monastic army the com- Branswick, N, J., thus battling bis would-be inter- | mander-in-chief of the fatihful, the Pore himself, would have to go. Those heads of orders are as many departments of the united ecclesiastical ad- ministration. Italy can no more suppress the or- | ders than she can suppress the Church throughout the world, She can vanish both the orders and the Church from Rome; but if she allows them to re- main there she must also grant them that peculiar organization which ts to them a condition of exist- ence. “Sint uf sunt ant non sinc” has at all times been the raie with Roman Catholic establishments, * * * By a variety of subtle compromises the Italian government will endeavor to make the pro- longed existence of mouks and nuns compatible wito the Ibera! institutions wich are to become the birtiright of the Romans as of all other Italians, But the task will be no casy one, and its success will in a great measure depend on the fitness of the Italtan people for that religious and pouitical free dom to whioh they justly aspire.

Dwellings, Churches and Public Buildings Damaged, People Deserting Their Homes in Terror. TRE WHOLE TOWN IN DANGER. : SCRANTON, Pa., Nov. 16, 1871. Hyde Park 1s once more the scene of excitement, The mines are deserted, and, notwithstanding the snow storm prevalliug, the various streets are crowded by hundreds of men, women and cbildren discussing the situation. That portion of Hyde Park which lies directly over tho Oxford mine has partially caved in, the buildings overhead being cracked, and have settied about a foot, A fissure on Main street extends from Fellows’ Hail to the Post Oftice; the crack is over a foot wide and no fathom is discermibie. The phenomena occarred between two and three o’clock this morning. The noise resembled that of an earthquake. ‘Three distinct shocks were felt, each loud enough to rouse the soundest sleeper, Fellows’ Hail, a large tnree story building, 1s unfit for occupancy. tis cracked from the ground to ‘the ceiling. ‘The house of Mr. David T. Richards was so badly wrecked that the family were tmmediately com- pelled to seek other refuge. A large cistern in the kitchen of the residence of Mr. Daniel Howg!l, which had always proved suMm- cient to supply the family with water, has been rendered dry and useless. In fact, there is no water tove had anywhere in the territory covering the Oxford shaft. The Heenan House, a brick hotel, kept by J. P. Siobett, is damaged toa great extent, the buliding having settled down over twelve inches, ‘The private residence of Mr, Edward Heermans, on Scranton avenue, presents a scene of great de- vastation. Directly in tront of the house the avenue is cracked wide open, and is the object of great | curiosity. The shock was borhood of Fellows’ feit more Ha: in the neigh. than anywhere else, A large quantity of bricks in one cor: ner near the foundation tell out, leaving tne building ip a dangerous condition. The store of Richards & Jewell, on the first floor of the building, is nearly untenable, The Posi Oftice and Phillips’ store are also imjured. ‘There are many other buildings more or less damaged. Tho real cause of the caving in was not known until after daybreak, though many sup. posed tt to be an earthquake. When the miners ana laborers made tuelr ap- pearance at the Oxford shaft this morning they were not allowed to enter, as the mine was considered dangerous and lable to crumble tn stul more and kiN the men at any moment. ‘The mine has been idle for several months, undergoing repairs according to tie requirements of the United States law, and only resumed work on the 10th inst ‘Two years ago @ similar caving in occurred tn the same locality, the Wels Calvinistic Methodist ohurch being then 60 badly injured that lb was @difice fortunately escaped injury on the preseus occasion.

Nearly the whole of the western portion of Hyde Park is undermined by the galleries, making it one of the most disagreeable and dangerous localities to reside in that ‘can be conceived. AS the miner advances in the process of digging coal he is compelied to Prop the rook overhead in order to keep Hyde Park in its original position, When the coal has been all taken out and Hyde Park only supported by these props there will bea terrible crash and great loss of life, The pecuniary toss of to-day is heavy, ana must be borne by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Company.
