Since the “Feast of tho Ass” (January 14,
commemorating the flight -Into Egypt) has
ceased to he celebrated by the Churches, ,w i e
have little idea of the honor in which this
lowly animal was held., At that festival, in
Britain and Britanny, it;; was customary for. a
beautiful yeung girl, with a babe at her breast,
to ride on a splendidly decorated ass, through
the streets,and to enter with the accompanying
procession into tho church, when the ass stood
close to the great altar. In place of the usual
responses the people brayed, and at the end of
the services the priest brayed thrice. A chorus
hymn was then sung. This old hymn, as writ
ten in a curious medley of Latin and French,
has been preserved by Ducange.' The follow
ing, if; a somewhat rough, is nearly a literal
translation of some of its verses:,
From the country of the East
Came this strong and handsome beast;
This able ass, beyond compare,
Heavy loads and packs to Dear. ;
Noto, Seignior Ass, a noblebray,
Thybeauteous mouth at large display;
Abundant food our hay-lofts yield,
And oats abundant load tlie field. ■

PES-rICIIBES FItOJI HENRI TAINE.
We publish some further extracts from
Taine’s second volume, “ Italy : Florence and
Venice,” recently issued in English by Leypoldt
& Holt. Our selections will indicate sufli
ciently the singularly clear, forcible way in
"which M. Taine can impress the image in his
own mind upon that of the reader:
TINTORETTO'S PAINTING OF TIIE “ VENETIAN
SLAVE.”
No painting, in my judgment, surpasses or
perhaps equals liis St. Mark in the Academy.
At all events, no painting has made an equal
impression on my mind. It is a vast picture,
twenty feet square, containing fifty figures of
the size of life, St. Mark sombre in the light,
and a slave luminous amidst sombre person
ages. The saint descends from the uppermost
sky head foremost, precipitated, suspended in
the an - , in order to rescue a slave from punish
ment ; his head is in shadow and his feet are
—in light; his body, compressed by an extraordi
nary feat of foreshortening, plunges at one
hound with the impetuosity of an eagle. No
one, save Rubens, has so caught the instanta
neousness of motion, the fury of flight; along
side of this vehemence and this truthfulness
classic figures seem stiff, as if copied after
Academy models whose arms are upheld with
strings; We are home along and follow him to
the ground, as yet unreaclied. Here the naked
slave, thrown up on his back in front of the
spectator, and as miraculously foreshortened as
the other, glows with the liuninousness of a
Correggio.
His superb, virile, muscular body palpitates;
his ruddy cheeks, contrasted with his black
curled beard, are empurpled with the brightest
hues of life. The axes of iron and wood have
heen shattered to pieces without having
touched his flesh, and all are gazing at them.
The turbaned executioner with upraised hands
shows the judge the broken handle with an air
of amazement, which excites him.throughout.
The judge is a red Venetian pourpont, springs
halfway off his seat and from his marble steps.
The assistants around stretch themselves out
and crowd up, some in the sixteenth century
armor, others in cuirasses of Roman leather,
others in Venetian caps and dalmatics, some
with legs and arms naked, and one wholly ex
cept a mantle on his thighs and a handkerchief
on his head, with splendid contrasts of light
and dark, with a variety, a brilliancy, an in
—Rescribable--seductiveness—of— light-reflected;
in the polished depths of the armor, diffused
over lustrous figurings of silks, imprisoned in
the warm shadows of the flesh and enlivened
by the carnations, the greens and the rayed
yellows of the opulent materials. Not a fold
of drapery, not a tone of the body is there that
does not add to the universal dash and bril
liancy. A woman supported against a pe
destal falls back in order to see better; she is
so animated that her whole body trembles, her
eyes flash and her mouth opens. Architectural
forms in the background, and men on the ter
races or clinging to columns, add the amplitude
of space to the scenic richness. We cai^., breathe
freely there, and the breath we can take is
more inspiring than elsewhere; it is the flame
of life as it Hashes forth in gleaming lucidity
. from the adult and perfect brain of a man of
genius; here <dl quivers and palpitates hr the
joyousness of light and of beauty.
There is no example of such luxuriousness
and success ol' invention; one must see for
himself the boldness and ease of the jet, the
natural impulse of genius and temperament,
the lively spontaneous creation, the necessity
of expressing and the satisfaction in rendering
his idea instantly, unconscious of rules, the
sure and sudden dash of an instinct which cul
minates at once and without an effort, in per-
I feet action, as a bud flies and a horse runs.
Attitudes, types and costumes of every kind,
with all their peculiarities and divergencies,
Hooded their minds and fell into harmony in !
- one sublime moment. The curved back of a
woman, a criirass gleaming with light, an indo
lent nude form in transparent shadow, rosy
flesh with the pulsating amber skin, the deep
scarlet of careless folds, the medley of heads,
arms and legs, the reflection of tones brightened
and transformed by mutual illuminations—all
disgorged in a mass like water spouting from a
surcharged conduit. Sudden and complete
concentrations are inspiration itself, and per
haps there is notin the world one fuller and
more animated than this one. '
A charge sometimes made against the pre-
Raphaelite school at this day is made by M.
Taine against a portrait by Paul Veronese:
A WIFE IMMORTALIZED.
Sometimes truthfulness is so vivid that the
painter, without knowing it, reaches the super
“ l a tive comic. - Such is the portrait wliich yero
ncsshas painted of his wife. She is forty-eight
—years-old; double -chinnedr-has ' the ' airot'uv
couh dowager arid the coiflure of. a poodle dog;
with her black velvet robe cut low and square
on the neck in a framework of lace she looks
pompous enough and proud of her cliarms; she
»s a well-preserved ample figure, well displayed,
majestic and good natured, her ruddy flesh,
. penect contentment and general roundness
suggesting a fine turkey just ready for the spit.
In the Pitti Palace in Florence SI. Taine no
tices individually i )Ilt few of the pictures;
among them that work of Raphael’s, which is
perhaps the best known in America, if not the
■ most admired':'

this in the “Vision of Ezekiel,” a small canvas

royal hearing; and the angels around him have
such chubby bodies as to be almost fat. None
of the fury or delirium of the Hebre w seer
subsists here; the angels are joyous, the group
ing harmonious, and the coloring healthy and
beautiful; this vision, which with the prophet
makes the; teeth clatter, and the flesh creep,
with the painter only elevates and fortifies the
soul; that which we find with him throughout
is perfection in the proportionate; all his per
sonages, whether Christian or pagan, are in
equilibrium and at peace with themselves and
with all the world, (pp. 154,155.)
IEX’AXE.
The cathedral, at the first sight, is bewilder
ing;; Gothic art, transported entire into Italy
at the close of the middle ages, attains at once
its triumph and its extravagance. Never had
it been seen so pointed, so highly embroidered,
so complex, so overcharged, so strongly resem
bling a piece of jewelry; and as, instead of
coarse and lifeless stone, it ; liere takes for its
material the beautiful lustrous Italian marble,
it becomes a pure chased gem as precious
through its substance as through the labor be
stowed on it. The whole church seems to be a
colossal and magnificent crystallization, so
splendidly do its forest of spires, its intersec
tions of mouldings, its population of statues, its
fringes of fretted, hollowed, embroidered and
open marblework, ascend ip multiple and inter
minable bright forms against the pure blue
sky. Trtily it is the mystic candelabra of
visions and legends, with a hundred thousand
branches bristling and overflowing with sot
rowing thorns and ecstatic roses, with angels,vir
gins and martys upon every flower and on every
thorn, with infinite myriads of the triumphant
Church springing from the ground pyramidi
cally even into the azure, with its millions of
blended and vibrating voices mounting upward
in a single shout, hosannah I Moved by such
sentiments we quickly comprehend why archi
tecture violated tlie ordinary conditions of
matter and of its endurance. It no longer has
a'ljggfld of its own; little does it care whether
it be solid or a fragile construction; it is not a
shelter but an expression; it does not concern
itself with present fragility nor with the resto
rations of the future; it is horn of a sublime
frenzy and constitutes a sublime frenzy; so -
much the worse for tlie stone that disintegrates
and for generations that are to commence the
work anew. The object is to manifest an in
tense reverie and a unique transport; a certain
moment in life is worth all the rest of life put
together. The mystic pliilosophers of the early
centuries sacrificed everything to tlie hope of
once or twice transcending, in tlie course of so
many long years, tlie limits of human exist
ence, and of being translated for an mstant up
to the ineffable One, tlie source of the universe,
(pp. 344-345.)
One stops before the statues of atliletes, of
the “Discobulus,” of the small “Bacchante,”
aud especially of the gods, “Mercury,” “Ve
nus,” and the two Apollos. Muscles are oblit
erated; the trunk is prolonged without depres
sions or projections into the anns and thiglis;
there is no effort. How strange tills tenn in
our world where one encounters nothing but
effort. The reason is, that since the Greeks,
man, in developing himself, has become dis
torted; he has become distorted all on one
side through the predominance of cerebral ac
tivity. Nowadays he desires too much, he
aims too high and has too much to do. In
those days, after a youth had exercised in the
gymnasium, when he had learned a few
hymns and could read Homer, when he had
listened to orators in the agora and to philoso
phers in the portico, Ins education was
finished; the man was accomplished and he
began life complete. A rich young English
man of to-day ,of good family and calm in blood,
who lias rowed, boxed and raced a good deal,
who possesses healthy and jirecise ideas, who
deliberately lives in tlie country, is, in these
days,the least imperfect imitation of the young
Athenian; he often possesses tlie same unity of
feature and the same tranquil regard. But this
does not last long. He is forced to imbibe too
much knowledge and too positive knowledge—
languages, geography, political economy, Greek
-verses-At—Eton, -mathematics—at—Cambridge,
newspaper statistics and documents, besides
the Bible and ethics. Our civilization over
whelms us; man staggers under the pressure
of liis over-increasing task: the burden of in
ventions and ideas which lie easily bore in in
fancy is no longer proportioned to liis strength.
He is obliged to shut hiiliself up in a little pro
vince and become special. One development
excludes others; he must be either laborer or
student, politician or philosopher, manufacturer
or man of family, and confine himself to one
thing at tlie expense of all the rest; lie would
be inadequate were be not mutilated. Hence
the loss in him of calmness, and the loss in art
of harmony.
Compare the “Mercury” of John of Bologna
with the young Greek athlete near him. The
former springing on liis toe is a tour do force
which is to do honor to the artiste, and prove
an attractive spectacle to fix the eyes of visitors.
The young Athenian, on the contrary; who says
nothing, who does nothing, who is contented to
live, is an eltigy of the city, a monument of its
Olympic victories, an example for all the youths
of its gymnasia; lie is of service to education,
as tlie statue of a god is of service to religion.
Neither the god nor tlie athlete need he inter
esting ; it sullices for them to bo perfect and
tranquil; they are not objects of luxury, but in
stillments of public welfare; they are com
memorative objects,and not pieces of furniture.
People respect and profit by them; they do not
use them for their diversion nor as a material
for criticism..
For the first time in Italy I see a true
river in a true plain; the Arno, yellow and tur
bulent, rolls along between two long ranges of
dingy houses. A mournful,negiected, meagrely
populated, lifeless city, calling to mind one of
our towns m decay, or set aside by a wander
ing civilization, like Aix, Poitierp or Rennes—
such is Pisa.
There are two Tisas; one in which people
have lapsed into ennui, and live from hand to
mouth since the decadence, which is, in fact,
the entire city except a remote corner; the
other is this corner, a marble sepulchre where
the Duoino, Baptistery, Leaning Tower and
Campo-Santo silently repose like beautiful dead
beings. This is the genuine Pisa, and in these
relics of a departed life one beholds a world.

don Eiyrope and European ihlstory and con

Usually they testify to a Completed civilization,
to a profound transformation of all' instincts
and of all customs. Really, to change any con
ception of a thing so general as, form, what a
change must lie effected in the human brain!
Revolutions in painting and in literature have
been much more frequent, much easier and
much less significant. Figures traced on can
vas and characters portrayed in books will
change five or six times with a people before
its architecture can be changed. Tlie mass to
be moved is too great, and in the eleventh cen
tury, in the times of bin- first Capet kings, Pisa
moves it without effort.:: (pp. 50; 57).
Here is an eloquent reflection upon the an
cient glories of the same wonderful city:
ART AND MORTALITY,
The eyes, again tinning upward, rest on the
four structures of ancient Pisa, solitary on a
spot where the grass grows, and on the pallid
lustre of the marbles profiled against the divine
azure. What ruins, and what a cemetery of
history 1 What human pulsations of which no
other trace is left but a form imprinted on a
fragment of stone 1 What indifference in the
. smile of the placid firmament, and what cruel
beauty in that luminous cupola, stretched, in
turn, like a common funeral dais over the gene
rations that have fallen! We read similar ideas
in books, and, in tlie pride of youth, we have
considered them 1 as rhetoric; but when man
has lived the half of his career, and, turning in
upon himself, he reckons up how many oi his
ambitions he has subdued, liow much lie has
wrung out of his hopes, and all the dead that
lie buried in liis heart, the sternness and
magnificence of nature appear to him as
one, and tlie heavy sobbing of inward
grief forces him to recognize a higher lamen
tation, that of the human tragedy winch;,
century after century, has buried so many com
batants in one common grave, lie stops, feel
ing upon bis bead, as upon that of those gone
before, the hand of inexorable powers, anil lie
comprehends bis' destiny. This humanity, of
which he is a member, is figured in the Niobe
at Florence. Around her, her sons and her
daughters, all those she loves, fall. incessantly
under the arrows of invisible archers. One of
them is cast down on his back, and his breast,
tmus-piereed, is throbbing; another, still living,
stretches bis powerless bands up to the celes
tial murderers; the youngest conceals his bead
under bis mother’s robe. She, meanwhile,
st ern and fixed, stands hopeless, her eyes raised
to heaven, contemplating with admiration and
horror the dazzling and deadly nimbus, the
outstretched arms, the merciless arrows and the
implacable serenity of the gods. (pp. 09, 70.)
The following passage points out admirably
tlie contrast between the Greek ideal of man
hood, as presented in ancient sculpture, and
that which our civilization offers to artists:
MODERN ITALIAN AND ENGLISH WOMEN,
The lady facing me is the wife of a major on
garrison duty "in the Abruzzi, beautiful
although mature, gay, prompt, Self-eoniident,
and wliat a tongue ! Northern and Southern
Europe, tlie Latin and the Germanic races, are
a thousand leagues apart in this facility of ex
pression, in bold judgment and in promptitude
of action; She argues and decides everything—
the indolence of the Abruzzi peasantry, their
vendette, the embarrassments of the govern
ment, her dog, her husband, the officers of the
battalion, “ our fine regiment, tlie Twenty
seventh.” She addresses me, and then turns
to her neighbor, an ecclesiastic, who, like the
rest, has tlie same Italian air—that is to say,
he is gallant and obsequiously polite. Her
sentences flow out with the velocity and so
norousness of an inexhaustible torrent.
Day before yesterday another, about forty
eight, in a black spencer puffed with ribbons,
and with a red face, entirely absorbed tlie con
versation, and made the apartments ring with
her tattle and exclamations. • The other
day a pretty little bourgeoise became indisposed
in the diligence intirieure, aud her husband
had her removed up to the imperials by our
side. She questioned us all, and corrected my
Ch oi'S of pronunciation; after having two or
three times in succession misplaced an
or not having caught the precise tone, she be
came impatient and gaqe me a scolding. She
informs us that she is just married; that she
and her husband hadn’t a cent to begin house
keeping, Ac.; there are three men alongside of
her, and she it is who takes and keeps the lead.
I have in my mind fifty others, all of whom
may be grouped around these three types.—The
doniinajit trait is a-vivacLty amlarefoarness_ of
conception boldly exploding the moment it is
born. Their ideas are all cut out at sharp
angles: she is the Frenchwoman, liiore vigor
ous and less fine,“like the latter, and more than
the latter, she is self-willed; she makes of her
self a centrp; she does not await direction from
another, she takes the initiative. There is
nothing in her of the mild, the timid, the
modest or tlie reserved, no capacity for bury
ing herself in her household with her children
and husband in'Germanic fashion.
I involuntarily compare her with the English
women who are present. Some there are
very peculiar, puritanic at heart, rigid in
morality, the fruits of mechanical principles—
one, especially, in her straw hat like an ex
tinguisher, a genuine spinster in embryo, with
out toilet, grace, smile or set, always silent, or
when she speaks, as keen as a knife-blade.
Site belongs, without doubt, to that species of
young lady who is found ascending tlie White
Rile alone with her mother, or clambering up
Mount Rlanc at four in tlie morning, tied to
two guides by a rope; her dress converted into
Dowsers, and striding along over the glaciers,
in that country artificial selection litis produced
sheep especially for meat, and natural selec
tion women especially for action. But the
same force lias operated more frequently
in another sense; the despotic energy of tlie
man and the necessity of a tranquil home to
tlie overworked daily laborer have developed in
the woman qualities belonging to the ancient
Germanic stock, namely, a capacity for subor
dination and respect,timorous reserve,aptitudes
for domestic life, anil the sentiment of duty.
She remains, accordingly, the young girl even
into matrimony; on being spoken to she
blushes; if, with all possible precaution and cir
cumspection one tries to draw her out of the
silence in which she is immured she expresses
her sentiments with extreme modesty and im
mediately relapses. She is immeasurably re
moved from any aspirations of command, of
taking the initiative, of independence even. In
all the English couples I have recently met the
man is the chief; in every Italian couple it is
the woman, (pp. 103-105).

New Discovery in JeruWilerti. t
J June li,?lBo9.—have, (during the Hast
few days,rsuccecded;iri driving: a gallery iupj to
the great block bf,masonry forming-ilie north- 1 -
cast miglegandhavefoundthewall toTfebuilt 0
of great beveled stones to a depth of at least
00 feet below tlie surface, and we have not yet
cotne to the rock.
In my last letter I expressed some diffidence
about our being able to get across, on account
of the treacherous nature of the soil, although
we were then'only 50 feet off. By employing
a diflerentjshape of .gallery .frame, and keep
ing a non-commissioned officer continually at
the head of the gallery fixing them, we. have
been able to surmount these difficulties, aiid
are now likely to make a great, addition to our
knowledge.-of the ancient topography. Already
we have made a lmppy commencement.
We struck the , Haram Wall about 18 feet
south of the northeast angle, and at a depth of
about 32 feet below the surface. We then
turned north, and ran along tlie Haram Wall
for 20 feet without finding riny angle similar to
that above. At this point a slit about 18 inches
wide and 4 inches high was observed in the
Haram Wall, formed by cutting out parts of
the upper and lower beds of two courses. A
stone, dropped down this slit, rolled rattling
away for several feet. It was some time before
I could believe that we bail really passed to tho
north of the northeast angle; but there can
now be no doubt of it, anil that the ancient
wall below the surface runs several feet to the
north of the northeast angle without break of
any kind.
* If the portions above ground are in situ, it
would appear that this angle is a portion of an
ancient;toiver reaching above tlie old city wall,
probably somewhat similar to the view De
Vogue gives of it (Plate xvi., “ Lc Temple de
Jerusalem.”)
We have this morning examined the slit
mentioned above. At first it was impossible to
squeeze through; but after a few hoiu-s it be
came easier, though it is now only 7 in. in
height. The passage in from this'slit is diffi
cult to describe; the roof falls by steps; but tlie
floor is a very steep, smooth Jucline, falling 12
ft. in 111, ft., like the slit and shoot for letters
at a postroffice. The shoot ends abruptly,
passing through the roof of a passage. This
passage inns east and west; it is 3 ft. 9 in. high,
and about 2 ft. wide; it runs nearly horizon
tally, and at its eastern end opens out
through the Haram-Wall.. At the west
ern end it goes (liy measurement) to the east
end of the Birket Israil; but it closed up by a
perforated stone. This passage is 40 ft. ('.’) in
length. On the south side of it, a little to the
west of the shaft, is a staircase cut in the
masonry, and running apparently to tlie sur
face, but it is jammed up with stones. The
roof of the passage is about' 48 ft. below the
surface. The stones forming it are of great
size, hut do not show large in comparison with
those of the sides, which are from 14 ft. to 18
ft. in length, and vary from 5 ft. 10 in. to 4 ft.
0 in. in height. To the west of the staircase
tlie bottom of the passage slopes down rapidly,
so that in one place it is 12 ft. in height. Tlie
roof also is stepped down 4 It., at about 11 ft.
from tlie western end. Altogether, this pas
sage bears a great resemblance to that which
we found under the Single Gate, in October.
1807.
At the eastern cm), where the passage opens
out through the Hamm Wall, a rough masonry
shaft has been built round, so that we can see
a few feet up the wall, and about 7 feet down
it below the sole of the gallery. It is evident
that here there has been some tinkering at a
comparatively modem date.
In the course forming the sole of the passage
there is a water-duct leading through the Ha
ram Wall, about 5 inches square, very nicely
cut; but in the next course, lower, a great ir
regular hole lias been knocked out of the wall,
so as to allow the water to pass through at a
slightly lower level, and so run into an aipte- ,
duct 9 inches wide and 2 feet high, which com
mences at this point, and runs nearly due east
from the Haram Wall. All this botching and
tinkering looks as if it had been done quite re
cently, and the workmen have left their mark
<m;tLie wall in the shape of .a-Christian cross, ol
the type used by the early Christians, or during
the Byzantine period.
At the further end of the passage, to the
'west, the same large; massive stones are seen
until the eye rests upon a large jierfprated stone
closing it up. This stone is the first approach
we have yet found to any architectural re
mains about these old - “believe
now are- admitted to be of the- time of the
Kings of Judali), and though it merely shows
us tlie kind of labor bestowed upon a concealed
overflow aqueduct, still, it lias a bold anil
pleasing effect, and liutil something else is
found, will hold its own as some indication of
the stylo of building at an early period. It
consists simply of a stone closing up the end of
the passage, with a recess or alcove cut in it 4
inches deep. AYithin this recess are three
cylindrical holes, 5| 'inches in diameter,
the lilies joining their - centres
forming the ' sides of an equilateral
triangle (see sketch, plan and section.) Below
this appeal’s once to have been a basin to col
lect the water; but whatever lias been there it
lias been violently removed. It appears to me
probable that the troops defending this portion
of the wall came down the staircase into this
passage to obtain water. At first sight this
passage, appeals to be cut in the rock, as stalac
tites have formed all over it, and hang grace
fully from every joint, giving the place a very
picturesque appearance. It seems probable
that we are here some 20 feet above the rock.
There can be little doubt that this is an ancient
overflow from tlie Birket lsrail, which could
not at that time have risen above this height,
about 2J5 feet above the Mediterranean, or 25'
feet above tlie present bottom of tlie pool, and
00 feet below the present top of the pool.
It is also apparent that the Birket lsrail lias
.been half full and overflowing-during the
Christian period, and that for some purpose or
other the water was carried away by an aque
duct to the Kedron Valley. At tlie present day,
when there is such a dearth of running, water
in Jerusalem, it is rather mystifying to find that
-within our era the Birket lsrail lias probably
been constantly full up to a certain point, and
flowing over. *
It will be a great mistake now if we .have to
stop this work for want of funds. We have
got over to this north-east angle with consider
able trouble and at great risk, and it is highly
probable that difficulties would be put in the'
way of a second excavation at this point. If
the excavations are to continue, I am convinced
it is essential that we should strain every nerve,
to get sufficient funds to complete this work.

New Evidence about Lord and Lady By*
Xacly Byron states, in a letter to n. C.
Robinson, now first published in liis biography,
that her husband (the great poet whom she de
-sertedj t‘was-a-believer and-liad
the gloomiest Calvinistie tenets. * * * It;
is enough for me to remember that he who
thinks • Ills transgressions ■ beyond forgivenexs
(and sueli was his own deepest feeling) lias
rigliteousness beyond that of the self-satisfied
sinner, or perhaps of the half-awakened. It
was impossible for me to doubt that, dould lie
have,been at once assured of ills pardon, his
living faith in a moral dutyand love of virtue
(‘I love the-virtues which I cannot claim’)
would have conquered every temptation.
Judge, then, how I must hate the Creed which
made bun see God as an Avenger, not a
j Father. My own! impressions were just the
1 reverse, but could have little weight.”

permit the substitution of 10-40 for 5-20 bonds,

all other gold-bearing bonds at 00 per cent.
The 0 per cent, currency bouds issued by the
United States, to the Pacific Railroad will not

is so frequent as to become onerous to the De

Authentication ol'Papers.
In reply to an inquiry on the subject of the
authentication of papers by notaries public, the
Treasury Department says the act of September
10,1850; 'confers -<qn notaries' public the same,
powers as justices Of tlie peace of any State or !
Territory. They have to take and certify oaths,
affirmations -and acknowledgments, and the
same, when certified under the hand and official
seal of such notary, shall have’ the same face
and effect as if taken or made_by, or be
fore such justice or justices of the peace. But
for any trial for peijury or subornation of per-
takeri'dr m&daria aforeiaid,' the seafaridsigna
ture of the notary shall not be deeriied suffi
cient in themselves |o establish the official
character of such the. saine shall be
shown by other, arid, proper evidence. The
Secretary : adds: “In view, ‘therefore, of the
foregoing, it seems that no rule can properly
he prescribed for. the government of the several
officers of the Treasury Department, but that
each head of an office shall exercise Ids own
judgment in passing upon the sufficiency of the
evidence of the official character of a notary
public.” ■ •
Tlie Irish Church. Bill.
; LoxDON,July 23.—Tlicrewas a full atten
dance of members arid spectators in the House
of Commons this evening. , When Mr. Glad
stone rose to speak he was -greeted with’great
cheering. Under a heavy sense of responsi
bility, but with profound satisfaction, he moved
that’the House agree.to the ‘iamendments in
serted yesterday without exception or. reserva
tion. .He called attention toTheexcision .from
the preamble of the words specifying the
propriation of the surplus, but as the point was
better indicated in the bill he thought it would
be invidious arid unnecessary to require theo
retical and abstract declaration in the preamble.
The reinsertion of the date of 1871 was not a
token, ref victory, hut an indication of
the joint and. harmonious working of
the houses. He reviewed the other amend
ments which had been met with objections,
and said the substance of the government pro
posals had remained materially' unaltered. He
asked the House to: discard every word that
might have been uttered tending to embitter
the question, and'lie apologized for any wanntli
of feeling that lie might have shown. He con
gratulated the House on the satisfactory set
tlement that had been arrived at, and praised
the ability and moderation with wliiclr the de
bates bad been conducted by Earl Granville
and Lord Cairns. He hoped the disestablished.
Church would develop within herself qualities
by which her great career would be marked
out for her, and that God would speed lrer on
her new career. -
Sir Bounded Palmer, member for Richmond,
approved the course which had been taken. It,
was honorable and fair to both sides. The
point agreed upon was ope which all must ac
cept. In case of an adverse decision we must
Bow to the superior force of those who control
events, aud when that time comes it is folly to
refuse to see and acknowledge tlie fact.
He thought tlie compromise was substantially
a concession to the Church, and a settlement
arrived at which was satisfactory and states
manlike. He concluded his speech with a
compliment to Mr. Gladstone on the tone and
tenqier of the debate.
Right Hon. Mr. Disraeli said that when the
diflerence between the houses was only a mat
ter of detail he felt that delay in tlie settlement
was only a doubtful advantage, and might re
sult in disaster and difficulties of an inconceiv
able kind. Compromise was not unconditional
surrender. ■■ Tlie most essential points in the
amendments had been assented to, and he
thought that the House and country- would,
deem the compromise fair and just.
He hoped the present would be the last occa
sion when political circumstances would be
dealt with on abstract principles. We had been
on the eve of a collision, occasioned by a ' lriis
understanding between the two Houses, at a
time when each had deported itself in a man
ner to show the possession of the confidence
and satisfaction of the* country. Surely, all
wenld ha.il with satisfaction and ratify with
pleasure the settlement arrived at.
At tlie: conclusion of Mri ” Disraeli’s' speech
the amendments were agreed to without a di
vision. T’he result was received with great
cheering.

Despatches' luive been received from Ebene
zer Bassett, U. .8. Minister to Ilayti, dated
July 5, from Port-au-Prince., He says that the
U: S. ships of war'Gettysburg and Nipsic
both left Port-au-Pnnce on the 3d, under
orders and in; a disabled condition. The state
of affairs there is somewhat alarming. The
President (Salnavej was still in the field at
the head of his armies in the south, and the
rebellion -in the north' is - yet unsubdued.
He says tlie currency is sold in the mar
ket seven hundred Haytien dollars for one
dollar in-gold, arid is rapidly depreciating,
lie says there is danger that the.stores.and ware
