WASHINGTON, March 13-The House to-day, in Committee of ?16 Whole, considered the Bill ap? propriating one million dollars for tho relief of the Southern 'lestitute. Mr. WOOD opposed tho mea? sure, saying that the South only wanted civil rights and Northern capital to dsvelop its resourc? es. Mr. WILLIAMS thought that Congressional bounty would be better applied if given to the widows and orphans made so hy rebels. If any are to suffer let it be the disloyal, and let God Almighty populate that country with people loyal to the flag. Mr. CHANDLER denounced the measure as in? tended to bolster up the Freedman's Bureau. It was nothing, he said, bata wolf in sheep's cloth? ing. Mr. BOTES hoped that the Bul would pass. The Freedman's Bureau, he thought, was the best means for distributing the necessaries of Ufe. If j this.Bill failed, he did not wish to hear anything moro of sympathy for Ireland. He declared the analogy between Southern . nd Irish people com? plete. Mr. BUTXER offered a. substitute that the million should go to the widows and orphans of those starved .at Andersonville and elsewhere. BUTLER and LOGAN made bitter speeches.

STONE in the House of Commons, on February 18, in reply to Mr. DISRAELI, who had boon brought out by a question by Mr. ATRTON. WO omit Mr. DISRAELI'S speech, as ils purport can be readily inferred from Mr. GLADSTONE'S remarks : SPEECH OF HR. GLADSTONE. Mr. Gladstone said : I am prepared to bestow that charitable construction on the motives of the Government for which the right honorable gentle? man has made an appeal, and I think that the best mode of doing so is to avoid all reference, of what? ever kind, with respect to tue motives of the Gov? ernment. Wo lire here embarked in a common cause. I think my honorable friend, who received just crediffro u the right honorable gentleman for the spirit of his observations, was so far justifiod in the course ho bas taken; inasmuch as he endeavor? ed to give expression to the feelings generally enter? tained in the House that we are placed in a position of considerable embarrassment. As I understand the case, there ai e in the country and in thc House vaiious currents of feeling with respect to thc: sub? ject of Parliamentary reform. Some of these currents are in opposite directions, and tend to neutralize ono another. Some are desirous of extensive enfran? chisement, other? fearful of it. They are opposed to each other; but I venture to say there is one power? ful and prevailing fooling which, I think, pre vades nearly the whole c .mmunity united, and which ' likewise is reflected faithfully and generally within ' these walls without reference to political opinion, ; and that is a strong- and earnest-I might venture . to say an absorbmg and overpowering-desire that 1 wo should now, within the limits of this session, 1 arrive at length at a legislativo settlement of this . question. There being that desire in tho House : and the country, it follows that what we wish for , includes this important point likewise, that the : question should be settled, if possible, by those ; in power. It is wholly ont of the ability and capacity of any sot of men to conduct tho delibera tiona of this House to a real and satisfactory issue - with respect to tito representation of th* people, 1 uoless they be the responsible advisers of tho Crown. As far as I am individually concerned, X ' ?ave expressed my perfect willingness and earnest desire to co-operate with the present Government 1 for an effectual, and, above all, an early settlement 1 of this question. What we are anxious for is that j the Government should avail themselves of thin ' favorable state of feeling, and take all steps to con- 1 duct to a practical effect this disposition so gencr- . ally prevailing in the House. The Government j have presented resolutions on the subject of re- ' form, and I, for one, have stated a perfect willing- 1 ness-suppressing, I am bound to say, my own 1 strong opinion that such was not. au exp?dient course-to accede to the mode adopted by tho 1 Government, and to take no objection on general ( grounds to the course of proceeding by resolution. 1 The right honorable gentleman the Chancellor of ' tho Ezche ?er gave a special reason for that course, ( stating in effect-for I do not pretend to quote his ? words-that had the Government submitted their ( intentions with .respect to reform in the shape cf c a bill, they might have been mot, as on a former occasion, by the invidious selection of some ono * point from among the provisions, and tbotcby J their geu3ral and comprehensive scheme might 1 have been by no very legitimate process got rid of : in this House. My honorable friend endeavored to ( convey to the Government the assurance that 1 there was not the smallest probability of such a proceeding, and after what has fallen rrom j the right honorable gentleman, as well us i from my honorable friend, I cannot help'ex- ? E'ressrng my strong belief in conformity with , is. Sir, of course it would bo presump- j tnous in me were I to undertake to bind t any gentleman in this House, far less any body of * the members of this House, bv the expression of. ( an opinion of my own beyond the limits ? to,which my personal communications may have extended ; c bnt, at tho same time, the circumstances of this * case are so clear, and they have assumed a charac? ter so historical, that I can hardly think they leave 1 a doubt : on the mind of the Government "or tho * right honorable gentleman for the apprehension < he has expressed, and which he has stated led him ? to tho conclusion he has announced. Tue right 1 honorable gentleman adverted on a former evening ( in terms of disparagement and bensure to the pro- . ceedings of 1859. I am not bound to dofend these <~ proceedings further than to say I do not think they I merited tne kind of. censure bestowed upon them. - 'that, however, is immaterial except so far as to guard rae aa to what I have further to say. ( The .proceedings of -1859, whether prudent or G not; - 'would in my opinion have been1 perfectly ?us ti fiable had '? they beon taken by a Par iain ont that had its heart and its mind 1 earnestly set on legislating for the purpose of ( Parliamentary reform. But- now, with the light that experience alfords, it is. impossible to rogard i the proceedings bf .1859 without including in our review the proceedings of 1860; and taking tho operations of these two years as one operation tating the sarong and decisive measure adopted. ? in 1859, togcfcn^-with'the'lame and unsatisfactory Jj completion' of it hx, 18CO-I am certain I cannot ? misrepresent either th? 'public, sentiment or tho R general sentiment pf this House, pr the sentiment . of the powerful party that occupies these tenches, whoa I say that theso proceedings cannot be re- * pcated. Therefore, the reasons assigned by the z. right honorable gentleman for'the course he has r adopted have disappeared; and undoubtedly it ? would have been to me a matt :-r of great grathica- j: tion had tho right honorable gentleman been dis- j, poped to accode'tp the suggestion offered to him in n ) unfriendly manner by the honorable member , for iie .Tower Hamlets. From what he has stated ' I fear he is not disposed to accede to'that sugges tion. For iny part, whatever my regret and concern ' may be, I do. not. .withdraw from any assurance " [ have ventured to give. J do.not ref ose, for one, Jj to entertain tho method of procedure by r?solu- ? tiona, but I must observe that at the present mor ment we are placed in a peculiar position, espe? cially with reference to a peculiar point. We ar? c greatly desirous of prompt proceedings, and * mother request was addressed to the right honor- * able gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer ? )f a much more limited character than that which ? oroceeded irom my honorable friend the member tor the Tower Hamlets;St was that wo might be fa- : roted upon the earliest day-upon a day earlier j than Monday next-with those additional explana- , tions to wh: ch tho right honorable gentleman has referred, and which ne calls the explanations of * the Government resolutions which are due to tho House. Sir, I won't so far bring into question tho j ardors of this House as to make a singlo observa? tion cn the character of the resolutions themselves , -as: to their being general or precise, as to their ' being declarations of principle ur of practice, what ; they may or may not be; but this I must observe, . that upon the comparatively narrow point raised i by the request I have Just, referred to, we aro in a ? position, so" far las1 I know, without precedent. J On. Monday last the right, honorable gentleman gave us an explanation of tho resolutions. Tho right honorable gentleman most properly reoog- j nizod the . Parliamentary rule that a measure ot j such a character cannot be advantageously con- ' Bidered by the House immediately after tUp state ment of its principle by the Minister of cheuCrown.. He proceed in the1 same mann?ras does every1 Chancellor of - the Exchequer upon the somewhat , analogous question of the financial statement of the year. Ho submits the financial statement, but . he never asks tho.assent of the House to that state- , ment until a future day; or if for financial reasons the affirmation is asked of any particular proposir * tion; ifris-always considered a mere formal affirma? tion, and its merits .remain open to further con- '? 8ideration. That principle is well established. We ? thought we bad received tho statement of the right . honorable gentleman as to tho propositions pf tho Government1 on Monday last, and wo thought we i should be in a position on the 25th to proceed with their: discussion ;. but we find now- i not to-day : :only, . but on a previous occa* . sion, on Friday-that we have- not yot the full explanation of - the . right honor- ! able: gentleman: We axe-in possession of one, moiety o?'that explanation, and the- oth?F moiety < of that explanation is to be dehvered on tho very j day on which we are to be invited to consider the resolutions. Therefore, sir, it appears to mo that j it was with consistency and propriety that my 1 honorable friend, the member for Leeds, suggested 1 that, as time is admitted to be of suoh value in this : matter, and as the principle is recognized that tho ; ministerial explanations of a plan or proposition ] of this kind ought to be in'-?th? possession of tho House before members are called on to vote upon ; it, tho right honorable gentlemon would afc least . have beeadisp08?d,.tp accede to, thajj limited ...andi s mod?rate demand; and ?fibrd his explanations on an earlier day than Monday next. These explanations, it is quite evident, must be very important ex? planations. So fur as I know, ii is very rare, indeed, I don't recollect any example of a Minister in submitting resolutions that aro to bo adopted in committee of the House-to introduce them, , not by one, but by two statements of tho views of the Government. I am fearful ol' treading ou ten? der ground, and, therefore, I confine these remarks simply to mattera of facfc, patent to us all; but I own i am hardly so sanguine a? to believe that it will bd possible forthe-House after receiving tho second statement of the right honorable gfentlo- " man, which must necessarily bo a statement in en? largement of the first, ind which may possibly be a statement in modification of the first, I do not at th? prcscut moment seo how tho House r.m bo in a position to proceed with advantage to a definitivo lodgment on the resolutions on Monday next, un? less it be tho pleasure of the right honorabl e ? entlo m?n to save, I think, our time and expedito thc progress of business, by favoring us at an earlier period with those, explanations which, as Lc says, still roinain.dnc to tue House. Sir, Ifoel deeply the- . responsibility which attaches to us all in tho pres? ent sjate ol ?f?aird. I hope that I have endeavored in these remarks to confine invBClf exclusively and rigidly to what is connected with prompt and effectual progress in dealing with this question. Thc observation I point oufc isthati lear a further .delay beyond Monday may liavo io? encountered, unless the right honorable gentleman can accede to the proposition of my honorablo friend, tho member lor. Jjeeds; that these dolays, if multiplied, will become highly unsatisfactory to the Houao and lo the corni try. Haring said so much, I leave it to the impartial consiilcrationof tho right honora? ble gentleman and the Government whether they cannot in some way or other meet thc desire-wo think; not an unreasonable desire-that without any avoidable loss of time whatever wc should find ourselves brought to deal practically with thc great issues involved in tho subject of the representa? tion of the people,, ?} '?? : , ...v.: T. W. Higginson, who was a colonel of a colored regiment down on thc coast of South Carolina, is writing up^lurification articles of himself and his regiment for the Atlantic Monthly, in which he claims the credit for himself and his colored troops forputting down tho rebellion. Higginson is too fast. The Eadicals declare that the>reoellion is not yet put down. FROM MEXICO. Movements of the French Army, ?Sic. The steamship Cortes arrived at New Orleans on the 7th from Tera Cruz, Saturday, the 2d instant. The Picayune says: "She entered the month of the river, and passed up this side of Tort Jackson Tuesday evening, but was compelled toc?me to anchor on account of the dense fog. She brings a 1 argo number of passengers,-and letters and pa , . late as due, except the Verdad, of Vera Cruz, which did not issue the morning of the 2d, on ac? count of its press breaking down." The waters of Vera Cruz and the adjoining har? bor of Sacrificios were lively with French shipping, taking on troops, provisions and ammunition of the expeditionary corps. The work of embarka? tion goes on rapidly. There were but few troops at the grand rendezvous of Paso del Macho, the upper terminus of the railroad, when our infor? mants came down. They were in nearly the last convoy. Tho army moved down, all the way from the city of Mexico, in perfect order, and made a splendid appearance. Thsir discipline was re? marked and admired by ahV The Zouaves carried forty-two pounds weight on their shoulders, be? sides their muskets. Two stragglers are reported to have been caught and beaten by the Liberals, but afterwards released. Nor was their much dis? order arnon? the retiring Imperialist families. Everything was conducted with perfect military discipline. Marshal Bazaine arrived at Yera Cruz on the 28th. General Castagny commanded the rear guard, and passed through Orizaba on the 26th. Ho had arrived at Paso del Macho, and was expect d down at Vera Cruz soon after the Cortes sailed. So fast as the Imper?bate left the country, the Liberals occupied it. They ?were in possession, of Puebla, Orizaba. Cordova and all the table lands. They stood ready to occupy Paso del Macho and the railroad, when the French shall have lefc. They were also surrounding the valley and swarm? ing over the whole country. The movements of Maximilian and of the belligerents in the field are summed up in our inter from Orizaba. On the 27th was published, at Vera Cruz, the following, by order of the French Consulate: ABT. 1. The execution of the convention, signed it Mexico, the 30th of July last, will be suspended until the French and Mexican Governments are in iccord. Each of these two governments reserves :o itself, absolutely, whatever it considers its rights relative to the aforesaid convention. ABT. 2. The French agents will remit the admin stration of the Maritime Custom House at Yera 3ruz to the Mexican Agents, the first of March iext, after the exchange of a process verbal and iccounts rendered. ;. ABT. 3. The Mexican administration of the Cus >om Ho .sc at Vera Cruz shall pay, at the end of jach month, counting from the first of March iext, the sum of $50,000 in specie, into the hands '1 an agent of France, specially designated, or in lefault of him, into the hands of the French Con tul at Yera Cruz, which sum shall be taken into consideration in the definite settlement of the ac ?oun's between the two Governments. ABT. 4. The arrangement shall be immediately ixecuted, and shall remain in force until the two jrovemments are in accord relative to the Conven ion of 30th July, comformably to what is said in irticle 1st, without prejudice of the customary ex? change of ratification to which the present ar angemont shall be submitted. This manifesto is dated at the city of Mexico, february 22d, and signed by the French Munster, )ano, and by Mr. Murphy, the Imperial Minister >f Finances. Mr.. Beverly Tacker still remained at '/era Cruz, ?esitating whether to come - homo to the United ? tites or not. He was waiting to hear again from n's family' and friends. The letters he had ad? dressed to the Government at Washington re-, named unanswered, and ho did not know what to lo. It was probable he woild go to Havana and hence to Canada. Mr. Crawley, the contractor on the Mexican Rail .oad, was also at Vera Cruz. The city was very 'till and lively, and lodgings and living very dear. Ul the Frenen fleet would be off in a few days, dany vessels had already put. to. Bea with troops >ut the iron-olads still remained to protect the lase jonvoy homeward bound. The French war steamer Megere arrived at Vera 3ruz, from France, on the 25th. The French dis? late b. steamer Sonora arrived on tho same day from Campico. . The Fronch steamer Adonis, French transport tares and Fronch man-of-war Castiglione arrived t Vera Cruz on the 26th, all from France. The French steamer Ardeene sailed for France in tho 25th. Vessels in the service of the French Expeditionary Corps were arriving and departing lijuy* ' rho Presidential Cliques in Washington. [Columbus Correspondence of ike Mac-a-Cheek Frets.] I learned from this honorablo source (a strolling noniber of Congross) that there are now in Wash Dgtoa three circles or cliques, very busy bringing ?ut candidates for the Presidency. The first anjo: he most , powerful is the Chase party.- This is tr eng then ed by Jay Cooke & Co., (be careful ofthat 'o") John Sherman & Co,, Little, Sprague & Co., nd claims to have sixteen States. But Ohio is tot counted in-Ohio gives the Chase association auoh trouble. As the Chief' Justice's State, it lUght to lead off. Bat it won't lead off; on the lontrary. 'shows a disposition-in Washington-to ollow citizen Ben. Engleston into the other o?r? les that go for old Ben Wade. Ben.'s circle or ring is made up of hot gospel? ers, who want their political stew done up with ed pepper, high-proof brandy and brimstone .nd all the officers who have been turned out. and ,11 tho office-seekers not yet in. And their plan of .peration is to impeach old Andy, suspend him luring trial, and put old Ben. in his place, when inmediately the hot stew will. be served up, .and. ll the friends of the movement put in office. Tho third circle or ring is in the interest of Mr. (peaker Colfax. This is purely an intellectual ing, composed of poets, poutioal writers; lecturers ,nd states m on. It proposes to further its ends by laving Mr. Speaker Colfax deliver his sweet little ecturo in every school-house and at every cross cads in the United States. After this it is to be mbbshod, and every friend of the movement is to lave a copy with tho compliments of Mr. Speaker Colfax, which they consider more valuable than jold or precious stones. Tho Clin se ring has the most money. The Wade ing thc most brain. The Colfax ring the most mpudonce. Thus the frogs in the pond organizo apd squab-;. )lo. A very important business to the frogs.

Armaros WABD.-The New York Evening Express o? Friday says : "A cable tele? gram aim our. ce s the death, yesterday, at Southampton, England, of Mr. Charles F. Browne, ii writer who, under the more familiar name of Artemus Ward, has had the world laughing over Iiis dr ell scenes and conceits for the last ten years. Bis death must have been - very sudden-to him? self at least. A letter in his hand, not yet two v7oeks old, speaks of his illness, but it also spec'. .3 of his hopes. He had broken down in London From ov?rwprkiand carelessness, and was on his way to breathe tho life-giving breezes of the Isle of Jersey. He was very sick-but so hopeful; he had such dreams of the spring-the good spring; auch promises of what he. intended to do when April came. And now what is April to him ? Browne was about twenty-nine years of age, and a native of Ma jue, where his parents still live. Since ho was seventeen he has been a worker on the press; his great mark was made in the Cleveland Plaindcaler, and from that paper tho grotesque Letters and the name of Artemus Ward spread Tar and wide. Routine work was always irksome to his disposi? tion, however, and he freed himself of tho tram? mels of newspaper engagements as soon as hie fame began to bring him profit. He wrote for 'Vanity lair,' and other recent comic sheets-but his best things were all dono bef?rn he began to be kuown personally.. Tho lectures which brought him most money were really the least meritorious of his works. I he fact is, Mr. Browne was a bet? ter comedian latterly than a writer. He was at once the least artistic-and the most artistic per? former. The result of his study resembled the effect of the most careless preparations. He was a sort of neat slipshod. In privat? life Mr. Browne was most amiable, ami his quiet winning manner was irresistible; if ho had a fault, it was that he yielded himael.' too entirely to his friends. The Quarterly Revic v recently said of Artemus Ward, that he* 'hardly attains tho dignity of Liter? ature.' He at least roached the pinnacle of popu? larity, and what ia much more to his credit-tho height of friendship. The Government of the South. Tho following "independent" talk is refreshing. There is no mistaking its meaning, or the quarter whence it emanates : It is with groat joy that the people of the North see tho sword pf a military government unsheath? ed by Congress over the rebellious States. Thank Ged that our dilatory representatives at last mean to provide against tho perils of the situation by a courageous remedy. The army of the republic must re-encamp in tho Southern Statos, no longer to destroy thc Southern Confederacy, but to recon? struct tho American Union on thc basia of'-politi? cal equality. No other than a military plan is ade? quate to the present oraorgency. '?he doctrine of self-government does not mean the erection of ten State Governments over loyalists to be administer? ed by traitors. Tho first condition of self-govern? ment is truo-heartod allegiance, not rebellious de? fiance. Treason cannot, govern-it must be gov? erned. Every unreconstructed ??tate must go with? out sell-government until its citizens become loy? al Is this policy severe ? It ie just. Any other policy is cruelty towards the loy diets of the South.

Sensational Services In a Protestant Church' The New York Eqpresa publishes the following account of the service in St. Alban's Chapel, in that city, on Ash-Wednesday : . In the centre of the altar was a massive golden crucifix, with great tapers on either aide. In front appeared a magnificent antipendium of purple cfcth, bearing the figure of the Lamb and the Cross. The Pulpit, Lectern and the precincts of the Sanctuary wero similarly ornamented, and on the Gospel and Epistle sides were circular clusters of tapers. THE SERVICES Commenced hy an imposing, procession of the clergy and -?boristors, from the robing room to the chancel, all chanting tho old English hymn used during Lent "Forty days and forty nights." When the officiating priests reached the altar, they bowed reverently before the crucifixion,-the congregation following their example. The clergy consisting of the Eev. Mr. Morrell, Kev. Mr. Noyes, and Rev. Mr. Elmendorf, tooks seats opposite the Lectern, outside tho altar, and the Rev. Mr. El? mendorf commenced Morning Prayer. The ser? vices-Venite and Benedicite, wera sung to Angli? can chants. After morning prayer, the Rev. Mr. Noyes pro? ceeded to the centre of the chancel, near the altar rails, and intoned the Litany-the responses being of a choral order: At the name of Jesus, he, in common with all present, reverently bowed his head, and stPflfte Gloria, all present turned their, faces towards the altar, or the Ritualistic East. The Rector here announced the Introit for the day-the 51st Psalm-and while this was being chanted all the clergy retired. THE MASS OE EUCHARISTIC ? ACBIFI0. While the last versicle of the Psalm was being rendered, the Rev. Mr. Morrell, and the Rev. Mr. Noyes, with the acolytes and choristers, moved again m procession towards the altar. The choris? ters at once filed to their respective stans, and only the Rev. Mr. Morrell and the Rev. Air. Noyes, with a surplice d acolyte, entered within the rails of the sacred place. Tho former acted as the offi? ciating rrie Bt, and the latter as his assistant. Mr. Morrell appeared in a b ?autiful chasuble, surplice, and stole, of purple, and the first of these vest? ments was ornamented with a lamb bearing a cross, both in the back and breast. Having made a genuflexion at the foot of the altar, the Priest ascended the triple stops and bowed down before the crucifix, beneath which was a chalice covered with a purple cloth m the centre of which wa* a white cress. The assistant Priest, or Deacon, took his posi? tion at the Epistle side. When the Celebrant had bowed bafore tho emblem of redemption, he pro? ceeded to the Gospel side, where the'.Bible and Prayer Book had been placed, and offered the ini? tiatory prayer of the communion Bervice-his "back being, to the.-:peopleJ?. LThe tapers on-'the altar had' been previously lighted by an acolyte, and the bells tolled in honor of the service. The Priest then turned to the congregation and read the commandments,-after which nis assis? tants read the Epistle and the Gospel from the re? spective positions on the altar,-- after-which they are named, the Celebrant occupying a position in the centre before the crucifix; THE OFFICIATING FEIEST BLESSES "HIMSELF. The priest then left the altar and ascended the pulpit outside the Chancel. In a moment, having opened the Bib 16, he made tho sign of the orOBS on his forehead, breast and arms, and all present fol? lowed his example. In performing this ceremony, he said "In the name of the Eather, and of the Son, and of the Holy, Ghost Amen." . . At the name of the Father, he placed his hand on his forehead; at the name of the Son on his breast, at the name of the Holy Ghost on his left ann, and at the amen, on his right. The re vor nod gentleman then delivered an elo? quent and forcible discourse or. the ancient ob? servance of Lent and tiie .necessity of penitence, . Bspeoially at this holy season.. - ,. . . At the : close of tho. sermon he ascended tho : altar, and officiated in the Eucharist, services, dur? ing which he made solemn, g?nuflexions before the oruifix and chalice. The ceremonies closed with the Benediction, and the immense congrega? tion left the temple apparently impressed by tho worship in which they had participated. -? Y^'K The Catholic Clergy on' Fenianigm. We take the following extract from' a Dublin let? ter, dated February 23 : There have beoiyvarious reports of suspicious meetings held in other parts of ireland, and numer? ous arrests have been made, but there has not been any demonstation or responsive rising. The heads or the Roman Catholic Church have united with the government in denouncing the Fenian conspiracy. On Sunday last tho Rev. Dr. Moriar? ty, Bishop of Kerry, in his sermon, thus referred bo it : " Since we met hore on last Sunday some people in Sorry have been betrayed into an' act of mad? ness winch we may safely say ?6 without a parallel in the annals of lunacy. I should have thought that, considering the spacious accommodation af? forded by our lunatic asylum, and the facility af? forded by our board of governors, there were few dangerous lunatics yet at large in thia country. But I am sorry to say I was LUS taken. It would seem that some dozens of that class left tho town of Cabirciveen on Wednesday evening with tho avowed intention of making war on the Queen of England, and of upsetting the British empire. I think there is not one inmate of the asylum who would not hold his sides with laughter if he heard it. Now, if this were only folly we might be satis? fied to deplore it, but these' people wore answera? ble to God for their conduct, for they had, I regret to say, sense enongh to know what they were do? ing was a grevions crime. "It is just twelve months a?o since I explained at considerable length in my Lenten pastoral the deep guiltiness of rebellion against lawful author? ity, so they cannot plead that they were not in? structed and forewarned. They resisted the ordi? nance of God, and by so doing they purchased for themselves damnation-* * *-the" execrable swindlers who care not to endanger the necks of the men who trust them-who care not how many are murdered by the rebel or hanged by the strong arm of the law, provided they can get a supply of dollars either for their pleasures or for their wants. O God's heaviest curse-His withering, bis sting, blighting curse is on them. I preached to you last Sunday on the eternity of hells torments,. Human reason was inclined to say, 'It is'? hard word, and who can bear itv But whon we Hook down into the fathomless depth of this infamy of the heads of the Fenian conspiracy, wa must acknowledge that eternity is not long enough nor hell hot enough to punish such miscreants." During the delivery of this, discourse numbers of young mon left the chapel. Cardinal Cullen, at tho Lord Mayor's inaugura-, ti on dinner last evening, "hoped the day would soon arrive when those things' which degrade- the country and lead her people into false positions might be swept away. False patriotism was degradation, and might bo perverted to rain. Within the last few days it was plain that the patriotism to which he alluded ought to be pro? hibited by every ono who loved his countrv.". A most distressing scene took place in tile Com? mission Court on the occasion ol sentencing the Eri Boners who pleaded guilty to the charge of reason felony.. Baron Fitzgerald, in passing sentence, said: "Power, you have been at the head of this conspiracy in Dublin. You assumed to yourself the power of appointing centres, and was actively engaged in tho distribution ol' arms. . You, Dovoy, was centre for tho military, and engaged in seduc? ing them from their allegiance.' The sentence, penal servitude for fifteen years. Sinolair, Baines, Stack, Stanley and Brown, for ten years each. Cashman and Walsh, seven years." The prisoners seemed to bo horror struck with the severity of the sentences. Power's face assumed a deadly huo: Baines burst into tears. The galleries were filled with their wives and children, and other relatives. Their screams and sobs were violent. Some be? came quits hysterical, others fainted and had to be carried away iusonsiblo. Stowell Joyner and Wilhams were sontenced to twelve months'im Erisonment each for possession of arms without a cense. Stephen J. Meaney was brought before Baron Hughes, The Attorney-General prosecuted. John Devany and Thomas Doyle proved tho con? nection of Meany with thu Brotherhood in Now York, having heard him speak at Clinton Hall, and seen him offer Fenian bond J for salo. Alter hearing all the evidence tendead by the Crown, the judge requested to know what act had been proved that brought tho prisoner within the jurisdiction of the court. Tho Attorney-General contended that, although ruo act was proved in thia country, yet as he had proved the existence of a conspiracy to depose the Queen, acts tending to the same outsido the United Kingdom should convict. His lordship was'of a; different opinion, and re? fused to pass sentence. He, however, accepted a verdict or guilty, and put back tho prisoner till he should further examine into thc mae. Tho action brought by Capta Murphy against Colonel Fielding and Major Ba? 1 for illegal im? prisonment haa\ by mutual agi meut, been ar? ranged by defendants paying tue sum of ?100 damages. The Reform Question. JOHN BRIGHT ON THE DEBBY. RESOLUTIONS. On February 18th the following lotter was read at a public meeting held at Bradfoid on tho gov? ernment reform resolutions, the Secretary ol the I Bradford Branch of the National Reform Union having transmitted to Mr. Bright, Lord F. Caven? dish and Mr, Forstor copic3 of a aeries ol resolu? tions a Jopted by the Branca, criticising the gov? ernment reform : RcoHDALE, February IG, 18G7. DBAB SIB-I think your resolutions very good. Tho course taken by tho government is an insult to the House, and a gross offenco to the whole body of reformers in thc country. I cannot say what the House will do, or what tho liberal party in the House will do, till after tho meeting, which is called for Thursday next. Tho administration ia bitterly hostile to reform. When in opposition this was abundantly proved, and it is confirmed by its course since its accession to office. It has not tho honesty or the courage to pronounce boldly against reform, but it seeks to murder the cause and tho question by a poural contrary to Parliamentary usage, and odi?tt? in the sight of all honest men. lr the House fi in in the guilt of this proceeding ifcwill cady.add to the distrust with which' it is now regarded by vast multitudes of the people in all parts of the coun? try. You are right in holding meetings, and in every town and villago mootinga should be hold. Al? ready they have been held moro generally and more numerously attended fthan at any other time since 1882. Hitherto the effect seems Iii tie. so far as we may judge from the action of the atiminiB tion ; and whether further meetings will produce any greater effect. I cannot undertake to say. But I venture to say thi?-?hat a government, unmind? ful of the opinion eifl?pi?ed so clearly in the great centres of our population, is running the country in great peril. If meetings have no effect, if the open and almost universal expression of opinion has no power on thajEdimriistxation and the legis? lature, then inevitably the min1 of the people will seek other channels with a vio.v to obtain and se? cure the rights which are now contemptuously de? nied them. If I am wrong in believing this, then history is a lie from tho beginning, and we have all been mistaken in our estimate of the causes out of which many of the great and deplorable trans? actions it has recorded have sprung. I Tinderstand that in Birmingham a great de? monstration of opinion is contemplated, and I sup? pose other parts of the country will have some? thing to say to an administration which abdicates its functions, and is ready to betray both Queen and people, that it may remain in office for another session. , ., I am, with groat respect, yours truly, JOHN BRIGHT. .
