FOREIGN VOTES.
Otir waders may reoollect that great Interest
was excited about a year ago by the marriage In
Ireland, under Tory mysterious clromnstanoes,.of
Miss Quinton, a young Protestant heiress, most ro*
Bpeotably eonneoted, to a man named Potorson, tlio
Son of ah innkeeper at Enniskillen, and a Roman
Catholic. They were married In Peterson’s house
j>y an unknown Gathollo clergyman, and the
young lady was Immediately afterwards baptised by
the parish priest, against whom a prosoootioh was W*
Stunted for haying celebrated the marrlago. tmt the
evidence was not strong enough to oohvlnoe Hie jury
of his guilt, miss Quinton was under age, and her
guardian took immediate steps to have her made a
yrard of Chancery, and applied for an Injunction to
separate her from her bridegroom. They were ac
cordingly separated. She was placed In charge
of some relatives In Dnblln, and he went to Liver
pool, where ho Is at present employed In a so
licitor’s office. The flight of time, In bringing
round her twenty first birthday, has released Miss
Quinton from her legal thraldom, and in the
Holls Court last week, she applied by counsel to
he discharged from the wardship, and permitted to
marry Mr. Peterson, who had, by letter, expressed a
desire that her property should be settled upon her-
Self. It wag originally £BOO In the funds, bnt the.
various legal expenses have reduced It nearly one
jmlf. Her uncle yielded a reluctant consent, and
the Master of the Rolls observed that, as a mar
riage dc facto, though not iejurs, had taken place,
the lady's moral character could not be Impeached,
directed a settlement to be drawn up, giving her the
legal control of her fortune, with remainder to her
Children, but with power to bequeath It to her hus
band should she die without Issue.
The question whether a priest can lawfully
marry by the law of France, which Is said to have
been raised only twloe In sixty years, has just been
decided In the negative by the Court of First In
stance of Paris, presided over by M. Benoit Cham
py. The plaintiff, a priest, sought a decree of nul
lltv of his own marriage, ou the ground that ho was
In holy orders at the time of the oontraot. The wife,
though Cited, aid not appear, so that the other side
of the question was not argued on this occasion,
Counsel for the plaintiff made a very long speech, -
and his arguments were adopted by M. Aubepln,
the judge advocate. In the eourse of the argument
the counsel, M, Georges Ooulon, said: “It Is pre
tended that several of the Apostles were married;
I admit that, but what I deny Is that auy of them
married after they became Apostles”- He con
tended that the celibacy or priests was an ordinance
of Christ himself, who on several occasions had pro
mised the Kingdom of Heaven as a reward for cell
bacy. The court, without going into any of the the
ological questions, laid It down that, by the organic
law of the Concordat of Germinal year X., persons
Jn holy orders wore subjected to the canons then pre
vailing in France, and were consequently under an
Incapacity to marry, and that this organic law had
never ceased to bo considered a law of the Statq, and
that neither the Code Napoleon nor the constitution
Of the present empire contained anything inconsistent
with It. On this ground a decree of nullity was pro
nounced. Another case, la which M. Jules Favre
Is counsel, is now pending, but In this the question
Js raised In a different form,’ An Interdicted priest
desires to be married, and the mayor refusing to
perform the ceremony, an action is brought to com
pel him.
There are In Europe 43 reigning Sovereigns,
not Including those who possess titles only. Of
those 43, nine belong to the Roman Catholic relig
ion, but one of that number Is excommunicated ; SI,
are Protestants, one la of the orthodox Greek
Church, one a Mahometan, and the 43d Is the Pope.
The Oathoilos are two Emperors—-Austria and
France i four Kings or Queens—Bavaria, Spain,
Portugal; and Saxony; two Princes—of Lichten
stein and Monaco. The excommunicated Sove
reign is King Victor Emmanuel. The 31 who pro
test the Roman Catholic religion are nine Kings
or Queens—of ; Great Britain, Prussia, Sweden
and Norway, Denmark, Holland, of the Belgians,
Hanover, Greece, end Wurtemburg; six Grand
Hakes—Baden, Hesse Oassel,Mlohlenberg-Schwere-
In, Mechlenberg-Stelltz, Oldenburgh, and -Saxe
,TVcimar; Seven Dukes—Anhalt, Brunswick, Nas
sau, Saxe-Melnegen, Saxe Altenbur,' Saxc-Ooburg,
and Schleswig-Holstein; nine Princes—Llppo-Det
mold, Lippe-Shaumbcrg,Reua-Greiz, Renos Solilelz,:
gohwarzburg-Rudolstadt, Schwarcbnrg-Sonderhan
pen, and Waldeok; one Elector—Hesse-Darmsdadt;
one Landgrave—Hesse Hombnrg. The orthodox
Greek Sovereign Is the Emperor of Russia, and the
Mussulman Sovereign, the Sultan. There are be
sides In Europe seven Republics, two exclusively
Catholic—San. Marino and Andorra; andfive where
the majority of the inhabitants are Protestants—
Switzerland, Hamburg, Bremen, Frankfort and
Lubeok.
The conscience of strict Catholics has been
greatly shocked ky the news that the French PrJnoe
Imperial’s banquet to one hundred and twenty
Schoolboys was given on a Friday—a day on which,
according to the roles of the Church, no flesh should
be eaten. It has been endeavored to extenuate the
Serious character of this event, by the remark that
children under seven years of age are not required
to abstain. But it is to be feared that many ef the
young prince’s guests were much older. The Opinion
Rationale thus treats of the matter: “ Abomination
of desolation! At the Prlnoe Imperial’s lunch to
the lyceuma sandwiches were served. Think of
that I Sandwiches—that is to say, slices of ham
between slices of bread on a Friday, before mid
night ! 1 Horrible, moßt horrible,’ as Macbeth, say s.
It is in vain that extenuating circumstances are
pleaded, and the question discussed whether all the
boys were not undor the fasting age. We are too
scrupulous to go Into these nice distinctions, and we
tremble to think of .the disasters which may be the
consequence of this impiety. Unhappy prince!

“ Everything looks to me to be very favorable for
a, speedy termination of the war. The people of the
South are ready lot It If they oan.get clear of their
leaders. It Is hard to predict what will become of
them—the leaders; whether they will flee the coun

take the matter In their own hands. One Or the
other wIH likely occur If our spring campaign Is as
successful as I have every hope it will be.”
In regard to American literature, the Loudon
Athenecum is getting hyperorltloal. It not only
speaks of *‘Mr. Gail Hamilton” In disparaging
terms, but finds nothing to admire In Saxe's holiday
volume of «Clever Stories” except the Illustra
tions. It says of him:
Mr. Saxe may have the will to be the Ingoldsfiy
of America, but he has not a Bingle requisite for the
part. He means to be easy, and he is slipshod; he
means to be sprightly, and he Is only childish. Vet
he is not afraid of the most difficult themes, though
the same have been already treated by the best story
tellers in prose and rhyme.

ehai ge, was crossing Third ana Market streets A pas*
eenger car passed, and the officer, in taking his prisoner
across the street, came very near being run down br
tbe horse driven by toe defendant Mr Levy, to save
Mmself.cangbt boffi °f the horee’s head with one hand,
while he held Ms prisoner with the other,
v The /river ratted Ms whip and threatened to strike If
be Sid not let go hit horse’s head. He then called a
police officer and ordered the arrest of Mr. Levyv The
detective, in turn, ordered hie arrest, which was
promptly obeyed. The case came up promptly for a
hearing,-when it was made known for the first time
* hat the complainant in the case was, a police officer of
the City Detective Department. The defendant ssemed
to he spasmodically seized with something like strabis
mus, or. In lees classical phrase, * looked nine ways
for funoay. ”
He affected an apology, saying that he was not aware
of tbe complainant being an officer
The magistrate suggeeledlthat,’officer or citizen, the
driver had no business to act in the manner complained
of. He gave the man to understand that citizens have
lights that muit be protected. The defendant was fined;
he paid the amount and departed, satisfied probably
that a citizen is quite as good as a police officer.
