THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH" PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1867. .ST. A I'd US rAVv'.S' DA Y. TLe i!Cth of May, vdiiuh falls on to-morrow, ta tset opart iu the calendar as sacred to the memory ofSt. Augustine, the celebrated Apostle f England, whojs said to have died on that clay, alxmt the year A. D. 605. ' Iu the latter fart of the sixtljt century, when Gregory the Great was Pope of Rome, the old Convent of St. Andiew, which stands on the (Vlian Mount, just in the rear of the Coliseum, was presided over by a pious man named Augustine. Pope Grtgory Felected liiin and forty othur monks belonging to this convent, to carry the gospel into the inland of Britain. About this time, Ethelbert, the heathen King of Kent, had mar ried a Christian princess named llertha, the daughter of Caribert, King of Paris. She took with her to Britain a French bishop as her chaplain, and was permitted the free exercise of her religion in a small chapel outside of Canterbury. Augustine and his fellow-missionaries landed on the island of Thauet, but the date of this Important event has not been preserved, although the old monkish historians assert that it was on the very day that Mahomet first saw the light. The island of Thanet was at that time f eparated from the mainland by an arm of the sea, and there Augustine remained for Borne time, at the request of the king, who feared the good monk might seduce him into a profession of Christianity through the agency of the black art. An interview between the monk and the king was soon arranged, and resulted in the former being permitted to com mence his missionary labors on the mainland. Augustine with his followers then marched in solemn procession to Canterbury, where they took up their residence. As they went on their way, they carried before them a large silver cross and a banner containing a repre sentation of the Saviour, singing also one of the still famous Gregorian chants. Augustine commenced his labors at once, and with such success that he baptised King Ethelbert on the following Whit Sunday, June 2, A. D. 597. The example of the king was soon followed by the lesser chieftains and the common people, and on the succeeding Christ mas it is said that ten thousand of the Saxons were baptised near Sheerness. The great work of evangelizing England 'was thus fairly inaugurated. Subsequently, Augustine is said to have visited Wales and Yorkshire, and after some years passed in zealous preaching to the Pagan islanders, he is reported to have died on the 2Gth of May, but in what particular year is now a matter of -doubt. It was eminently proper that after his death be should have been elevated to the dignity of sainthood. .THE LUXEMBOURG QUESTION. OBF1CIAL STATEMENT BY LOUD STANLEY IN THB BOUSE OF COMMONS. In the House of Commons, on the 9th Instant, the qutfetion of the Conference was brought up by Mr. Lubouchere, who asked the Secretary of Slate lor Foreign Affkiis whether, in the event of her Majesty's Government considering It ad visable to Join la any European guarantee witti regard to the neutrality or tbe future political position of tbe Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, before tbe country was committed toanysuoU guarantee the nature of tbe obligations iu which it might involve us would be explained, and the House be given an opportunity to ex press an opinion upon the expediency of under taking them. Lord Stanley The best answer I can Rive to the question of llie honorable member Is that the Con ference now assembled hi London n.et this morning, and although I do not think It consistent with my duty instate In any detail what took place beiweea the representatives of me yarlous powers, f may say that substantially an arrangement had been come to (cheers) and that iltt.e but lormal bun loess remains to be transacted. Teu days ago. In answer to a ques tion from my honorable lrienu behind me, 1 ventured to express a hope that the Luxembourg question, which was then disturbing Kurope, was in a lair way of being brought to an amicable termination, and I believe J am not too sanguine when I say that tbe hope I then expressed is practically realized. (Loud cheeis.) I think X may congratulate the House and 1 may, also, congratulate, the couutry that the good enne and moderation ol tbe parties prima rily interested iu this ampule, combined with the good sense and moderation ot the neutral powers associated with ihem In this Couierence. have resulted in avert ing the unspeakable calamity of a Kuropeuu war. which a few daveaptoappearedtobelmmlnent. (Hear, hear.) As to the part which her Majesty's Govern ment baa taken In these arrangements, X may say that we have acted la accordance with the coimiltuilonal mage of tbe country upon our responsibility as ad visers of tbe Crown. We have exercised that respon sibility whenever the necessities of tbe case required that we should exercise ii. and from the vlndlcallor of our arts in tout respect. If such vindication be neces sary, neither I nor my colleagues In anyway desire to (brink. (Hear.) I never wish to make a mystery of matters with which I am olllcially connected, or keep secrets from tbe knowledge of the liouse un necessarily; but tire present ease was so urgent that It was absolutely necessary that some reserve should be exercised. Kvery week the urgency of the case in creased, and every week we were told the chances of war became more Imminent. It Is obvious, then, that the postponement of i.egotiatious mR'hi have led to most dungerous complications, and X felt I could not lake upon myselt singly to postpone negotia tions lor an indettulle period, because delay might not have led to a settlement desired by all parties alike. Now, with regard to the question of guarantee, I am not surprised, and certainly aiu not sorry, thai there should bo a strong fueling or susceptibility in this House with respect to the subject ot guarantees. But as to tins particular question, X take It fir grained that tbe House Is awari that Knglund, In common with the rest of the stftnatarlca to the Treaty of lb.19, actually guaranteed the Urnnd Duchy of Lux embourg to the King of Holland in the most full.abso lute and uuqualltied manner. That Is au engagement which we at the present oay did not mage, and all that we have done is simply to adapt that engagement to the chanted circumstances oi the times, and to the position of the urand Duchy consequent upon the dis solution of the Germanic Confederation. In doing this we have not Incurred any iresh responsibility; we have rather limited and tleilned It; indeed. I should Ibluk. we cava narrowed the responsibility which formerly rested upon this country in connection with Luxembourg, whatever the amount ot that responsi bility may have been. Tins, however, is a matter which I shall be prepared to introduce to the House at some future time, it any discussion up o It Is desired; hut It Is obviously a matter whlohlcanuot .-7... ... in ,i, limit nl an answer to a ques- tlou. I can oniy express nop. .J T will lu a lew days have so far advauced that I shall be able to lay upon the table of the House all papers relating to the subject, plause.)
