IMPRESSING IGNATIEFF. Five thousand volunteer rifemen were reviewed ‘his afternoon on the Thames embankment, whence they passed by Pall Mali to the Palace.

CARDINAL CULLEN AND DUBLIN CASTLE. The ill feeling created among the Irish national- ists by the action of Cardinal Cullen in relation to the funcrai of John O'Mahony has not yet subsided, and that dignitary’s recent action will certainly not tend to allay it. Whatever may be thought of the | tight or wrong of the Cardinal's course in Insh Politics, there can be but one opinion as to its eect. The Irish priesthood has stood so long by the people : in days of persecution, and were under such heavy dbligations to them, that any charchman who takes sides with the government ls looked upon with great disfavor by the masses. Much unfavor- wile comment has been excited in Ireland by the ‘act that soon after the O'Mahony funeral in Dub- fu Cardinal Cullen dined with tha Viceroy, and was treated with more than ordinary distinction. His Eminence was accompanied by several clergy- men, and the popular irritation caused by the fact ls not likely to be soon appeased, COAXING THE PENIANS, St. Patrick's Day was celebrated by the Castle guthorities in Dublin to-day with the customary honors. The ceremony of mounting guard at the Dastle on the national holiday is always a grand military dispiay, but on this occasion it was ren- dered very imposing by the presence of the Duke of Connaught with the Lord lieutenant and sev- eral distinguished military officers. The garrison of Dublin, which ts seldom less than 5,000 men, were bvrigaded, and as they marched past the viceregal balcony, under the eyes of the Prince, the bands played Irish nationai airs. Money wus thrown to the crowd with a view to arouse something that might pass for enthusiasm and the whole court and the military officers wore Bhamrocks. This is regarded as suggestive of a desire to counteract the eect of the O'Mahony demonstration, which was as unmistakable an ex- pression of disioyalty as it was a decided success in regard to numbers, Irish nationalists langh at the idea of a few shamrccks and a little music and vlittie silver throwa among a crowd, having any effect in changing a.deep rooted national sentiment. WARK ON “MIXED EDUCATION. ‘The Irish Catholic bishops are vigorously agitat- ing for a plan of national education which wili place the training of the whole Catholic youth of the country completely under theircontrol. The Tories being largely in favor of the denominativnal system in England, the bishops are straining every nerve to influence the present ministry to favor their de- mands, believing that they have more chance of a favorable settlement while the con- servatives are in power. Mr. Butt has had a conference with the bishops with aview to remodelling his scheme for the settle- ment of the university dimculty which he submitted to Parliament last year. Bishops Conroy and Gilooly have gone to Rome to submit the proposed arrangement to the Propaganda and obtain the Pope's sanction, which is necessary because the plan involves the abandonment of the Catholic Uni- versity of Dublin which the Bishops have maintained for twenty-three years as a protest against the mixed system which prevails in the Qucen’s Colleges, The present natiomal schools in Ireland and the Queen’s colleges make no distinction as to the creed of the pupils and students, but afford every facility for their separate retigious instruction. From the wivent of Cardinal Cullen over twenty five years ago, an unrelenting war has been waged on this Mixed system. Bishop Moran is about to proceed to Canada and the United States for the purpose of Investigating the systems of education which pre- vail there, TWO GREAT ROWING EVENTS. Unprecedented interest is manifested in the Oxford and Cambridge boat race, which takes place on Saturday ext. The Oxford men are decidedly the favorites; an unusually powerful crew, in ex- cellent condition, The betting ts2 tol in favor of Oxford. The light bines do not hesitate to take the odds, however, and point to the fact that Oxford was the favorite last year until the day before the rice. Bell's Life in London, in its tssue to-day, commenting on the U.niversity boat race, which takes place next Saturday on the Thames, says it velleves that Oxford will win, an opinion which, it says, is confirmed by the verdict of most of the rowing men at Putney. Land and Water states that the odds on Oxford are justified, as tiey have shown the best pace, but Cambridge can improve much, The Sporting Gazette says:—“Practical oars: men at Putney almost unanimously go for Cam. | bridge. Oxford are strong but so are Cambridge, and to this must be added the fact that Cambridge display a far better style. Gazelle expects to see Cambridge win somewhat easily. The Sportsinan expects Oxford to win with tase, and with longer odds laid on them than on any crew for some years, Tam also asked to call the attention of American rowing clubs to the Thamoa International Regatta, which takes place on July 26, 2i and 28 The first | | prevatent feeling that the mere procurement of | ¥ | rate berealter will bo six per cent.

THEATRICAL GOSSIP. ‘There are several novelties in the theatrical world, Miss Kate Field appeared at the St. James on Wednesday last im her own comedietta, en- titled “Extremes Meet,” and achieved @ marked success. The dialogue is polished and witty, The plot is slight, but amusing. Miss Field's acting was natural and unaffected—indeed, the Globe, Stand- | ard and Examiner speak of the play and the lead- Ing lady in words of high praise. Mrs. John Wood announces the sale of her lease of the St. James Theatre, Mr. Joseph Jefferson has decided, since the Comp- ton benefit, to remain a year longer in onuon and to make his appearance in new character parts. OPERATIC NOTES. i Mr. Gye opens in Italian opera and concert at Covent Garden on April He announces, among other novelties, Verdi's “Sicilian Vespers,” Rubin- | stein’s “Nero,” Nicolai's “Merry Wives of Wind- sor,” Wagner’s Flying Dutchman” and the grand opera seria by His Royal Highness the Duke of | Saxe-Coburg, entitled “Santa Chiara.” SAFETY IN THEATRES, The Lord Chamberlain now retuses to grant any licenses for new theatres unless there are stone staircases. The Saturday Keview criticises this de- termination of the Lord Chamberlain and adduces Captain Shaw's recent pamphiet to prove that stone stairs are the most dangerous that could be built It claimg that the best stairways are made of wrought iron covered with slabs of stone, wood or slate.

The Ceded Provinces Under the German Heel, eee {BY CABLE TO THE HERALD. } HERALD BUREAU, 61 AVENUE DE 1/0PERA,Y Paris, March 17, 1877. The scene in the Chamber of Deputies at Ver- sailles during the Cassagnac episode was interest- ig, and to those whose opinions took one side or the other in the debate it proved highiy exciting, For years Paul, the blustering scion of the house of Granier—Cassagnac being a territorial aimx--has been the physical champion of the Empire. From his father, who gave him the editorship of Le Pays, he inherited that vituperativeness which was never at a loss fora brutal word of a political enemy and that coarse mental Abre which never withheld from print the worst phrase which his mind could coin, Freely backing his wordy champtonship of the Em pire by the dueilist’s sword or pistol, although at times suspiciously anxious to submit his Insults to the legal tribunals, he has gained a reputation of a certain sort, more like that of the old Italian Bravo than anything in modern civilization. He has come to regard himself as hereditary champion of the House of Bonaparte against ail comers, Prince Na- poleon himself not being a good enough Bonapartist for Paul Granier de Cassagnac. M. Paul 18 a Deputy, and when it was noised abroad that we republicans were intent on pressing his prosecution for a collective insult to the Chambe¥ there was considerable anxiety among lis fellow Bonapartists to know what he would have to say for himself. A CROWD IN THE CHAMBER, Accordingly, when it became known that to prose- cute or not to prosecute would be the question of the day for Friday’s session, the tribunes were crowded with prominent Bonapartists, both men and women. Their great expectation was that the formidable Paul, who Is such a master of fence with the small sword and such a dead shot with the pistol, and who had cut and slashed his anagonists on paper so vigorously, would make mincemeat of Minister Jules Simon. They had reckoned, how- ever, without their host. The polished, logical Prime Minister, who has, of all men in France, the | knack of cutting clean through sophistry and bravado and reaching the kernel of an adversary's argument, was not the man to be bottled up by a young fellow with more bluster than brains, It must be that Paul himself felt the unevenness of the contest before tim. The prosperous-looking, well-preserved, erect republican veteran, with the keen eyes and the cold smile, was not a pleasant object for the brawny Bonapartist to gaze upon, since swelling chest and athletic proportions were going to avail him nothing 1n debate, however they might appeal to the sympathetic dames who watched him. SIMON’S VICTORY. Cassagnac’s speech was weak and tame. It ap- pealed to the principles of toleration which repub- licans profess; but it sounded like satire coming from the lips of a man who had ever been swiltest to clamor for the proscription and rigorous legal punishment of the journalists who, in the palmy days of his defunct master, had ventured on hostile expressions. For the rest it was a plea of not guilty rather clumsily put. The Right applauded what it could find tn the speech; but when Simon took the tribune it was soon evident that he would have no difficulty in demolishing Paul and his argument, It was very simply done. Presenting the law as the point of his sword, he showed how absurd it would be for the Republic to raise its guard/and so give !ts enemies the chance to destroy it. You are already informed of the heavy ministerial majority which supported M. Simon. PRESS PROSECUTIO: The question of evi bono is freely discussed, and many doubt the policy of the coming prosecution. Either, they argue, the Republic 1s strong enough | to despise Bonapartist ravings or else it 18 too weik to be bolstered up by press prosecutions. On the other hand 1f 18 but fair to admit that impunity to | Journalists given, like the French, to gross person- H | alities has never had wholesome results in France, and has rarely been the rule, France, in its transi- tion state from despotism to parliamentary govern- ment must move slowly. An insult to the govern- ment passed by in silence leaves a wrong unpres- sion on a people who believe that none submit but the weak. BONAPARTIST PLOTS. A noteworthy coincidence is the rumors current of conspiracies hatching to upset the Repub- lic. The young Napoleon has just attained his ma- jority, and there is a good deal of whispering and putting of heads together among the followers of the Corsican family, so that M. Simon may be more imagine. GERMANY’S TUBEL ON ALSACE AND LOREAINE. The Reichstag to-day, after a four hours’ debate, voted the first reading of the bill empowering the Emperor to decree laws for Alsace and Lorraine af. ter they have passed the Federal Council and the Al- | sace and Lorraine Committee, but without the previ- ousassent of the Retehstag.
