SUMMARY OF PASSING EVENTS. ■ ■ ♦ FROM America we learn that, throuohout the various States a good commercial spirit is setting in, and the trade between England .and that country is daily increasing. There is, however, an evident hitch between the United States and France on the Mexican question. The city of Bagdad was one of the Mexican territories sup- posed to be in favour of Maximilian." Federal troops have for some time beea advancing into Mexico, and the news of the capture of Bagdad by these troops has caused considerable sensation in Paris, it being regarded as a deliberate defiance of the French Government. According to Paris papers, this act will prevent the scheme of Napoleon for withdrawing the French troops being carried out, and it is further said that a breach between the United States and France 'is more than pro- bable. STRICT neutrality in all foreign matters appears to be the policy of the present Ministry in England. A Royal proclamation has been issued declaring non-interference between Spain and Chili. Volunteers are, however, said to be fitting out ships in the Thames to run the blockade, in a similar manner to those which were fitted in the Mersey and the Clyde as blockade runners in the American war. We hope such proceedings will not bring the nation into trouble. General Prim's attempt to upset the Spanish Government by means of an armed force has ended in his thorough discomfiture, if we can trust the tele- grams and dispatches recently received. But high treason in this part of the world seems to be accounted only a trivial offence, as the person of this revolutionist has not even been demanded from the Portuguese authorities, to which country he has fled, and he is permitted to remain in Portugal for a year. One telegram tells us that the general's wife will be allowed to join her husbandJvery shortly. THE debates in the Prussian. Chambers promise to be as exciting and nugatory as of yore. The Parliament and the King differ as much as ever. It has been contended in the Lower House that Prussia has no right to connect a new territory to the State without the consent of the Diet. Count Yon Bismark, on the part of the Government, considered that the King had no need to consult the Chamber, and that they had no right to pro- nounce an opinion. upon the subject. A member of the Chamber, however, Herr Virchow, moved a resolution, "That the union of the Duchy of Lauenberg can only be carried out with the con- currence of the Prussian Diet," and not with- standing the opposition of the Government, the motion was carried by 251 votes against 44.. THE special Commission for the trial of the Fenians in Ireland has closed its labours. It has sat with but slight intermission since the 16th of November, and during that time 41 prisoners have been tried, and of these 36 have been convicted. No one can for a mement find fault with the mode in which the legal proceedings have been con- ducted. The prosecuting law officers of the crown have discharged their duties temperately and fairly. The judges have shown no disposition to strain the law in order to obtain convictions, and the juries that were empannelled have proved faithful to their oaths, and found verdicts c,, according to the evidence adduced. Compared with former State trials in Ireland, those which have recently taken place stand in forcible contrast. And now that the law has been effectually vindicated it may be asked, what good has been effected? Well, we now know what Fenianism is, and who are its supporters. A few months ago no one could tell exactly what classes were affected by it, or how far the mischief had spread through Irish society, or what hidden strength might be at the service of the conspirators. We now know, and the whole world knows also, that for the first time in our history a revolutionary movement in Ireland against England has no sympathy or countenance from the educated or well-to-do classes of the community. Fenianism has no O'Connell, Smith O'Brien, Feargus O'Connor, or Meagher in its ranks. It has not tainted the students of the Universities. The rank and file are entirely composed of the lowest and most ignorant of the masses; its leaders are men without position in the country, and without either education or ability to make them formidable. Their schemes are as destitute of common sense as the members are from their weakness and posi- tion able to contend against the authority of England. And it has, on the whole, been made as clear as anything of the kind can be made, that although Fenianism may be troublesome, it never can be dangerous. Through the proceed- ings of the Commission, and by other measures which have accompanied them, the Government have made it manifest that they do not intend to be trifled with; that they are quite determined to maintain the course of law, order, and the integ- rity of the empire; and that the loyal and well affected may depend to the fullest extent, upon protection and support. Such are the views ex- pressed by Lord Wodehouse in his vice-regal capa- city. Let us hope that the few poor disaffected subjects, who are all known now to the Govern- ment, will take warning by the late proceedings, return to their allegiance to the throne, and be- come useful members of society. ALL the week has been taken up in prelimi- nary arrangements for the Parliamentary Ses- sion of 1866. The greater portion of the members have been sworn in, and each one has fixed upon his seat preparatory to taking part in the great debates which are certain to follow. Specu- lations are already rife as to the character of the Budget we shall have, and these are the more in- teresting, inasmuch as it is known that Mr. Glad- stone wi'll have a considerable surplus. All sorts of interests are on the qui vive. Some want the malt-tax removed, some cry out against the timber duties, and others maintain that the fire insurance duty should be reduced from Is. 6d. to 6d.; bat commercial men generally look with hope to; a further reduction of the income-tax. Ah immense amount of business will have to be settled in the present Parliament in the shape of private bills. < £ 45,000,000 will be required for London and sub- urban railways alone, if all the bills pass; and at least 40,000 persons will be turned out of their homes by the pulling down of their houses. This mania for new railways is the crying evil of the day, and we trust that the Government will check as much as possible this over-speculation, and the many useless schemes which have recently been introduced. BUT the all-absorbing topic of the week has been the Queen's Speech. It conveys little, as Royal speeches generally do. The principal points in it, as far as England is concerned, was the reference to the Fenianism in Ireland, and the prompt measures used to put it down; the virulent distemper in cattle, and the means taken by the Privy Council to prevent the spreading of the disorder; and the marriage of the Princess Helena. As to Reform, there was just the remark, that information should be procured in reference to the rights of voting in the election of members to serve in Parliament for counties, cities, and boroughs; and when that information was com- plete the attention of Parliament would be called to the result thus obtained." This was at first taken to be shelving the question, and there was much grumbling amongst members of Parliament at the slight manner in which the promised Re- form had been treated. Earl Russell has, how- ever, promised that his Bill will be ready in a month. The Jamaica question was, of course, touched upon, and the appointed Commission alluded to.

THE ATTEMPTED MURDER OF TWO WOMEN. David Doyle, a carpenter, was brought up on re- mand before Mr. Alderman Salomons, at the London Guildhall, charged with feloniously stabbing Mrs. Harriet Herring in the chest, and also wounding Eliza- beth Doyle, his wife, in two places on the arm with a knife. The prisoner has been remanded from week to week, in order that Mrs. Herring might give evidence. It will be recollected that the prisoner, who lodges at 31, Fleet-lane, Old Bailey, was invited on the 14fcb January by his landlord, a man named Pepler, into'his room. Pepler also invited the other lodgers in the house except the prisoner's wife, and the whole of that day, which was Sunday, was spent in drinking and fighting. The man Pepler was induced by the prisoner to go and abuse Mrs. Dojle, and on her de- manding the reason of his conduct he brutally assaulted her, in doing which he was backed up by the prisoner. Mrs. Doyle having been released from Pépler's vio- lence, returned to her r»om, where she was with Mrs. Herring, when she heard screams from Mrs.: Pepler and her children. The two women went to her assistance, w4en they were stabbed by the prisoner in the manner stated. Mrs. Pepler, although in the room, could not be prevailed upon to come and give evidence until a summons was issued to compel her attendance, and she then merely affirmed that the two women were stabbed, but she did not see the prisoner do it. Shealso accounted for having a black eye by stating that her husband gave it to her, after Mrs. Herring and Mrs. Doyle had been taken to the hospital in a cab; and Joseph Pep- ler, the son, said that when he came home his father was out, and the prisoner Doyle was asleep on his mother's bed. He saw Doyle strike Mrs. Herring, but saw no knife. Mrs. Harriet Herring, who was accommodated with a chair, said: On Sunday, the 14th January, I went into Pepler's room with Mrs. Doyle, in consequence of hearing Mrs. Pepler and her children screaming. I saw her looking pale and frightened. Doyle was drunk, and Mrs. Pepler said he was going to strike her. I then saw the prisoner go towards Mrs. Pepler, having his arm raised, and I went between them. I said" Mr. Doyle, don't strike her." He then put his face close to mine, using some filthy language, and saying that they were all bad in the house, and I was the worst. He then struck me with a knife on the chest, and I bled very much and became insensible. The prisoner cross-examined the last witness at great length, after being repeatedly cautioned that it was tending against himself. The surgeon described the wound as being four inches long and two deep. The blade of the knife had been stopped by the rib-bone—it was a very dangerous ■: wound, and not yet healed. Mr. Alderman Salomons fully committed the prisoner far trial for feloniously cutting and wounding, with intent, &e.

AN INTENDED EMIGBANT'SHALLUCI- NATION. At the Greenwich Police-court Mr. Wates, the relieving officer for the district, waited upon Mr. Traill, the presiding magistrate, with a youth, 19 years of age, who had been found by the police in a state of insanity, the object being to obtain his worship's signature to the usual medical cortificatd for the removal of the lad to the county lunatic asylum, at Barming-heath, iiear Maidstone. T) It appeared that the lad is the son of poor parents, residing in the neighbourhood of Shooter's, hill, Black- heath, and he and others in the locality had been pro- vided with assisted passages to Queensland by the emigration commissioners. There had been a gather- ing of these intending emigrants at the house of a clergyman, and in the course of an address the rev. gentleman referred to the recent loss of the London steamer, impressing upon his listeners the necessity of being at all times prepared for eternity. This address appears to have had a great effect upon the mind of the lad, who had told his parents that the Almighty had placed his rod across the waters, and that the good ship would proceed in safety." The lad went on board the vessel in the East India Docks, and the day prior to that fixed for the ship's departure his father went on board to bid him fareWell, and then learnt that during the time his son had been on board he had exhibited strong symptoms of insanity, totally unfitting him for the voyage, and that he had gone ashore, taking a box containing his clothes and other articles with him. Nothing more was heard of him until a day or two afterwards, when the lad, who had carried his box from Poplar, was found with it at a public-house at Greenwich, and his conduct there was so eccentric that the landlord handed him over to the police. In answer to the magistrate, the lad said he had been on board the ship two days and a night, but that he had no place to sleep, and the crew and everybody on board had determined to shoot him. A young woman, he said, had fallen in love with him at a house where he had been working, and when brought to the police-station the drowned body of this young woman was brought in. Mr. Trail said there was no doubt the poor lad was deranged in his mind, and advised that he should be taken to the union infirmary rather than to the county asytora, he not being a dangerous lunatic. t

THE REFORM LEAGUE. The usual meeting (very numerously attended) of the above League was held on the 2nd inst. at the rooms, 8, Adelphi- terrace, Strand; Edmond Beales, Esq., president, in the chair. The miautes of the previous meeting having been confirmed, together with the weekly financial state- ment, the president announced further contributions to the fands of the League of 450 from Samuel Mor- ley, Esq., M.P., and .£25 from Wm. Hargreave, Esq., together with other subscriptions from Lt.-Colonel Dickson, Thos. Penlington, Esq., and other gentlemen. A cordial vote of thanks was unanimously given to these gentlemen for their generous donations. The secretary read correspondence from the Rev. Alex. Goalen, M.A., Captain Dresser Rogers, and other gentlemen, also from the Huddersfield, Ply- j mouth, Dudley, Nottingham, Poplar, Hackney, Brom- ley, Glerkenwell, and Kentish-town branches of the League, and from the Midland Counties Reform Association, Derby, and Kettering, relative to forming branches of the League. The Rev. W. H. Bonner reported the successful series of meetings he had attended and addressed in Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, and Northamptonshire during the past four weeks. He had attended eight large meetings, which had paid the whole of their own expenses and left a large balance in hand for future movements in these and other districts. Mr. Bonner was most cordially thanked, by the council for his activity and persevering ability in carrying the League principles into the stronghold of Conservative stagnation. The secretary reported meetings of the Holborn, Hackney, and Bloomshury. branches in the London district, and meetings for Monday next at Plymouth, Tuesday, at Exeter, and Thursday, at the Working Men's Club, Kentish-town, Tuesday, the 13th, at Bromley.by-Bow, Wednesday, the 14th, at Green- wich, and Tuesday, the 27 fch inst., at the Burdett-hall, liimenouse. The arrangements for the conference were then dis- cussed at some length, and it was resolved that the meetings of the conference be opened in the Lower St. Martin's-hall, on Wednesday, the 28th inst., at six o'clock precisely, and that a large public demonstra- tion be held on Friday evening the 2nd day of'March, in St. Martin's-hall, to hear and adopt the report of the conference and give a hearty welcome to the pro- vincial delegates attending such conference.

RITUALISM IN THE CHURCH OF, ELVG- LAND. Two deputations, representing those who seek actively to oppose the observance of certain ritualistic details in the public worship of the Church of England, waited severally upon Earl Russell and the Archbishop of Canterbury last week, :and presented memorials upon the subject. The deputation to Earl Russell was formed by mem- bers of the "Association for Promoting a Revision of the Prayer Book, and for securing Purity and Sim- plicity in the Public Worship of the Church of Eng- land," and was headed by Lord Ebury, president of the society. The noble Premier having received the depu- tation at his official residence in Downing-street, the memorial was presented by Lord Ebury, who made certain remarks ^thereupon. It set.forth that the ques- tion of certain ritualistic observances and the use of peculiar vestments during Divine service seriously endangers the peace of the Church, and makes a disruption probable. The "disorders" now "pre- valent in many parishes necessitate the interference of the Government, and the memorialists suggest the appointment of a Royal Commission, constituted as was that which had to consider the terms of clerical subscription." To this new commission should be referred, "not only the lectionary and the rubrics, but also the canons and constitutions and occasional services; for" (says the memorial) "action now being clearly inevitable, it would be a cause for regret should the force of it become expended upon minor .subjects, such as vestments or candlesticks, or some peculiar systems of ritual and ministration." The opportune- ness of the present time for the interposition of the Government is insisted on. Earl Russell said he had not had any opportunity of c°^err^D? "with his Colleagues or with the Archbishop of Canterbury and the bishops on the subject of the memorial; therefore he was unprepared to give any opinion upon it. It struck him that there was far mpre difficulty in attaining their object than was met with in the revision and alteration of the laws of sub. scription. That measure gave universal satisfaction; but as to alterations in the Liturgy he wished to give no opinion, as if that were carried some might then be asking for changes in the Articles. It was his wish, howevsr, to counteract the disruption of the Church which they feared might happen. He would confer with his colleagues upon the memorial, and also with the Archbishop of Canterbury, before he gave advice to her Majesty on the subject; but he wished at present to give no opinion on the subject. The Archbishop of Canterbury received the deputa- tion which came to him at Lambeth Palace. The Venerable Archdeacon Wordsworth introduced the members, 30 in number, who are all beneficed clergy- men, whose livings are in or near the metropolis, and in the diocese of London or of Winchefiter, as are those of the 508 signatories to the memorial. That document solioits the Primate's attention to the recent introduction into the celebration of Divine service of practices which by their-diversity and by their devia. tion from law and from long-established usage are dis- turbing the peace and impairing the efficiency of the Church." Without venturing to suggest any remedy, the memorialists pray that the Primate will devise such measures," in concert with his suffragans, as may be. best calculated to suppress such of the practices as are illegal, and to secure that measure of uniformity in the celebration of Divine service which is involved in the idea of aN ational Church. The Archbishop of Canterbury said: Mr. Archdeacon and my rev brethren,-Nobody can be more deeply impressed than J am with the. gravity of the circum- stances m which the Church- is placed by the innova- tions in the matter of ritual which have recently been introduced in some few quartera. In my own diocese I have the satisfaction to believe that not a single in-" stance of the kind has occurred. What course it may be ultimately necessary to pursue I am not prepared to say, but I believe, the first step to be taken would be to ascertain distinctly what the law allows and what it does not allow. We, to whdrn the government of the Church is entrusted, shall then know what is the real position of the Church in this respect, and shall be able to regulate our action accordingly. I beg to assure you that ifc is my anxious desire to promote uniformity in public worship to the utmost of my power, and to reconcile the conflicting interests of the different parties in the Church without any sacrifice of principle. May the Spirit of grace guide us to dis- cover a righteous solution ef the perplexing difficulties that surround us.

& A Copenhagen letter has the subjoined:-f Ilia well-informed political circles the marriage of the Princess Dagmar with the new Grand Duke, heir of Russia, brother of her former betrothed, is considered as certain; that union will be, adds the rumour, publioly announced on the termination of the present mourning. What appears to confirm this belief is that the princess, although nineteen years of age, has not yet been confirmed according to the Lutheran rite, in order to be able with more propriety to. adopt the Greek religion." The Penalty of Apple-stealing in Belgium. The Gazette Belge states that a moat painful im. preasion has been made on the public of Brussels by a judgment of the Court of Appeal of that city con. demning two boys, eleven and thirteen years of age, to four and six years' imprisonment, for having stolen four apples from a tree in the garden. adjoining the villa of Cardinal de Malins at Laeckea. On this sub ject the Gazette alludes to a recent visit of the Empress of the French to the Prison of La Roquette, when her Majesty expressed her amazement at finding that a boy was undergoing a long imprisonment for stealing a few apples, and at once took measures for obtaining his immediate release. The journal ventures to sug- gest the propriety of a similar exercise of Royal clemency in the case or the two boys above-men- tioned.

THE LATE INSURRECTION IN JAMA$5* The news from Jamaica by the Shannon is of cC siderable interest. The dates are up to the 9ll j0B January. Sir Henry Storks had arrived, attended his aide-de-camp, Captain Baring, and 'accompaflffP by the secretary to the commission, Mr. Roundell. The special correspondent of the T 1Io, reporting Sir Henry's arrival, rsays:- ti "There were groups of eager spectators on I I wharf when the steamer drew alongside.
