NEWS OF THE WEEK.
NEWS OF THE WEEK. There was much gaiety at Windsor Castle last week, her Majesty having a succession of visitors. On Thursday night, the first dra- matic performance of the season took place, which was witnessed by a numerous party. On Friday the Queen, and a party of her visitors, went to Aldershott, where her Ma- jesty reviewed the Aldershott division, com- manded by Sir John Pennefather the party lunched at the Royal Pavillion after the review, and then returned to Windsor. On Monday the Count do Persigny went to Windsor, to present his letters of recall, and Count do Flahault accompanied him to pre- sent his credentials, as the successor of M. de Persigny, at the French embassy. Both noblemen were introduced by Lord John Russell, and we understand that the Queen, whilst she received the new ambassador, most gracefully expressed her regret at the de- parture of the old one. The Empress Eugenie's tour through the United Kingdom has continued to be very satisfactory to her Majesty. At Manchester she visited many of the public places, and several mills and factories, and received an address from the corporation. She went from thence to Leamington on Saturday, and from that town to London on Sunday evening. On Tuesday her Majesty proceeded to Windsor, where she lunched with the Queen, returning to London in the evening. The reception which she has experienced here appears to have given great satisfaction in France. The Moniteur, of Sunday, gives some details, con- cluding as follows :—" These sympathetic qua- lifications of the English people cannot but draw closer the ties which bind the' two nations, and prove, in a striking manner, how well the good sense of the masses teaches them how to treat the violent and incon- siderate attacks, of which a certain portion of the press fears not to make itself the organ." If the editor of the Moniteur were to go amongst the English people, he would find that there was nothing political in the reception of the Empress, but that the enthusiasm ma- nifested was merely cordial recognition of an amiable woman, who had once visited our shores under other circumstances. We have again to announce a most fearful colliery accident, the particulars of which will be found in another column. No fewer than 135 persons have perished, and many families have been thrown into grief and misery. No- thing has yet been elicited as to the cause of the calamity; but there is too much reason to fear that it was occasioned by the wilful- ness or carelessness of some of the men." It is said that the coal which the Black Vein Pit furnishes is peculiarly rapid in its genera-' tion of choke damp." The men were, there- fore, forbid to have keys to their safety-lamps; yet one was sentenced to an imprisonment for 14 days, not a fortnight ago, for having a key in his possession; and at the same time it was ascertained that others carried crooked nails about with them, by which they were enabled to open their lamps. They did this for the purpose of lighting their pipes, for, although smoking was forbid, they would indulge in it, and a short pipe fell from the cap on the head of one of the dead bodies found on Saturday. Surely this awful accident will be a warning for the future, and the hard-working miners will not again endanger their own lives, that of their colleagues, and their employers' pro- perty, by a breach of regulations intended to ensure their safety. Whilst the Emperors of Austria and France are making liberal concessions, to some ex- tent, to their subjects, a St. Petersburgh letter, of the 25th ult., hints that the Emperor of Russia, as far as Poland is concerned, is about to take steps in an opposite direction. On his accession to the throne, Alexander evinced great good-will and a kindly feeling towards that country. His recent visit to Warsaw, however, convinced him that the Polish nobility were, personally, hostile towards his government and, it is said, a new organiza- tion of the military and civil police in Poland, with greater surveillance on the frontiers, to prevent the importation of arms, will be the consequence. An internal system of vigour will also be revived, "as the only mode capable of checking and suppressing the ardent and independent spirit of the Pole." No person is to hold arms without a license, and any person dealing in gun-powder or arms is to be sent off, under a military escort, to the interior of Siberia. Such were the current reports at St. Petersburgh, and they are very likely to be correct. Baron Vay has succeeded in completing the list of Hungarian Obergespans, with men whose names are said to be "in themselves a guarantee for the sincerity of government." Most of them are liberals, and some held similar situations under the government of Kossuth. Many of the German officials have left the country, and been replaced by Hun- garians, and the Hungarian language is re- stored in the courts. Everything appears to denote that the kingdom will, if revolution does not intervene, soon be the Hungary of old. Unfortunately, there are agents of Kos- suth spread all over the country, and, it is rumoured, French agents also, who are ac- tively employed in kindling the flame of discontent, and calling for the innovations of 1848, instead of the old constitution. When Count S. Carolyi, administrator of Pesth, was on his way to that city, a demonstration was got up in the Debrcezin on the 26th ult., intended to do him honour. The populace, however, assembled, under cries of Viva Kossuth and Garibaldi," began to destroy the government property, and to commit other excesses, which necessitated the calling out the military. Some prisoners were taken, more than 20 persons were wounded, and, it is said, that some lives were lost. Such is the version given through the organs of the Austrian government; accounts from other sources represent the interference of the mili- tary as a wanton aggression. In Pesth, the youths also assembled, and shouted for "Kos- suth" and Garibaldi," but there the police are said not to have interfered. It is said that, not in Hungary, but in all the Austrian Sla- vonian provinces, the agents of disorder are at work, in order to prevent the diploma" of October 20th from being carried out; people are every where filled with vague ap- prehensions, and expect that, on some day, not far distant, there will be a general re- volutionary outbreak. Whilst Francis Joseph is trying to con- ciliate his Austrian, German, and Sclavonian subjects, there have been reports that negocia- tions were going on at Paris, to induce him to give up Venetia for a stipulated sum. The official organ, at Vienna, contradicts the ru- mour; but it would be well if the Emperor would either surrender that part of his do- minions, or change his system of government there. If the accounts from that quarter, which we find in the Daily New8, are not grossly exaggerated, it is no wonder that the most intense dissatisfaction prevails. The nobles of Venice are said to receive notices to leave their mansions, and surrender them to the military authorities. They have no means of resistance, and taking away their moveable treasures, all the rest remain. The Austrians take possession, and, we are told, "pick out the cherished mosaics, and smoke the fres- coes;" the officers make couches of em- broidered hangings of ancient fabric, as if they were common mattresses, and the men wash out their saucepans, and hang out their rags to dry, on the marble balconies." Where young Venetians have left their families, and joined the Piedmontese armies, fines, quite exhausted of their means, are levied on their parents; and if parents have children at school or college, in any other country, a decree, recently published, orders such parents to re- call their offspring, or heavy fines will be inflicted. Such is the terror on the one hand, and hatred on the other, of Austrian rule, that the Venetians confine themselves to their houses, and are rarely seen abroad. If these things are true, it is indeed time that that rule should have an end: no one can de- fend it. In France, the decree of the 24th Novem- ber, is still the subject of discussion; some papers—the Journal de8 Debats amongst them -contend for the changes it introduces being of the most liberal tendency; but others, and the Comtitutionnel is one, demur to this inter- pretation. It is said that that decree was an- tirely the work of the Emperor. He sum- moned his ministers for the 23rd, not one of them, except M. Walewski, having the slight- est idea of what was going on. When the decree was read to them, several objected, but in vain. The Count de Morny was one of the objectors. He wanted to know what the Emperor would do, if the Address, in answer to his speech,rhould disapprove of his policy? Dissolve," was the reply. "And if the new electors should give deputies of the same sen- timents?" "Submit. "-It was rumoured that the present Chamber of Deputies would be dissolved; then, that it would be assembled earlier than usual. Neither rumours were correct; but the Senate, as we are informed by the Pays, "will meet earlier to regulate the execution of the privileges contained in the decree of Nov. 24th." If the exercise of the liberal concessions made by that decree, is to be regulated" by a body, the great ma- jority of which are the mere nominees of the Emperor, we are afraid that those who term the concessions a "mockery," will be nearer 1 the truth, than others, who, like ourselves, deem them a substantial improvement on the old system. The Roman Catholics of America appear to be more liberal than those of Europe. A tele- gram from the pontifical city, dated the 1st inst., states that £ 65,000 sterling had been received from the former country as Peter's Pence." This will probably enable the Pope to pay the interest on his French loan. When the holders of dividend coupons went to Messrs. Rothschild's on Saturday to receive their dividends, they found a notice posted up that only a portion of the fund necessary for the payment was received; and that as soon as the whole of the funds required should have arrived, notice would be given of the payment of the dividend due. Many poor Roman Catholics who had invested their all in the loan, were greatly distressed by the. delay. It was reported that Francis II. had gone to Rome but he is still at Gaeta in ill health, it is said; and we do, not wonder. He has passed through enough lately to har- rass both body and mind. Gaeta was in- vested by a Piedmontese army; and it was said that it would be assaulted either on the 4th or 5th. At last, King Victor Emmanuel has visited Palermo. He arrived there on Saturday, where his reception was as warm and cordial as he could wish; much more so than it was at Naples. His Majesty was saluted by the English fleet when he left Naples. "This act," says the telegram, "created a sensation." After his arrival at Palermo, he addressed a spirited proclamation to the Sicilians. On the continent, there appears to be great uncer- tainty and disquiet. There have been riots at Naples, which it is said are put down; but the Abruzzi is in a state of siege; and the Piedmontese commander has ordered all per- sons taken with arms in their hands to be shot. Lucien Murat has also again appeared on the scene. In a letter to a friend at Naples, dated the 28th ult., he says, "I have been urged, not by you alone, but by a great many of my friends, to take an active part in the affairs of the kingdom of Naples." He had refrained from doing so, he adds, not to be an obstacle to Italian unification; but the pre- sent attempts to produce that effect, appeared to him violent and artificial." He believes that federation alone can produce the unity destined to re-unite local liberties and inter- ests with the powers of national authority;" and when Italy shall have conquered liberty and greatness, then his father's wishes and his own will have been fulfilled." Of the movement now in progress, Murat has no favourable opinion. He "deplores that the advent of popular sovereignty should not have been accompanied by the indispensable cortege of all the great civic virtues;" he is ["indignant" at "seeing the electoral urn in ?7 ie,, in public thoroughfares," but with corruption and violence crawling around it;" declares that it is painful" for him to hear of the traffic in places and public in- terests," which has taken place in Naples; asserts that the coalesced parties now pre- dominate in Italy, have shewn themselves more tyrannical than the governments they have have overthrown and wants to know the signification of the disarmament of so many communes; what means the state of siege proclaimed in so many provinces? The letter is plausibly written, and contains undoubtedly some truths which are not very creditable to the Piedmontese authorities. Those authorities, we understand, have re- solved upon the organization of, and the ad- ministrative system for, the new Kingdom of Italy Jwhich is to be divided into 10 provinces —Piedmont, Lombardy, Liguria, Parma, Modena, Romagna, Tuscany, Naples, Sicily, and Sardinia. The administration of political, military, and financial departments is to be centralized; but most other functions will be executed by provincial and municipal authorities. There is a statement in the Austrian Official Journal, of Verona, that whilst employed in jorganizing the new kingdom, the Piedmontese government is also engaged in amicable negociations with Austria and the Pope. The correspondent of the Journal de8 Debats, at Turin, also states that negociations are going on with the Pope, but says nothing of Austria being aparty to them. The intelligence from the United States, this week, seems to intimate, that, with the exception of South Carolina, the feeling in favour of secession was not strengthening. There had been meetings in Georgia to sup- port union; and Mr. Douglas, who was one of the democratic candidates for the presidency, had, in reply to numerous requests that he would express his opinions on the subject, addressed a long letter to the people of New Orleans, in which he stated that the election of Mr. Lincoln, as president, was no excuse for any state's receding from the union. He also expressed his belief, that the new presi- dent would not attempt to violate the laws, and that if he did, there would be a majority against him in both Houses of Congress, and he would soon find himself in the Court of Impeachment. There was a "jubilee," at Springfield, Illinois, where Mr. Lincoln resides, on the 20th of November, to celebrate his election. The president-elect was obliged to appear and say a few words to his friends. He urged them, neither to express nor cherish any harsh feelings towards any citizen, who, by his vote had differed from them, but at all times to remember, that all American citizens were brethren of a common country, and should dwell together in the bonds of paternal feeling. His friend, Senator Trumbull, also spoke, and told the crowd, that Mr. Lincoln, although the candidate of the Republican party, as chief magistrate, would neither be- long to that nor any other party;" but, when inaugurated, would be President Of the whole country." At Washington, it is affirmed, the cabinet was divided. The President, and the four northern members of the ministry, main- taining the inviolability of the union; whilst the three southern members hold, that the Constitution is merely a compact, which any state that wishes to retire from the union, may break at any moment. At New York, from whence the dates are to the 21st ult., the sensation created by the secession agitation in the south, had given way to the excitement of a financial crisis. Private letters say, that the money pressure was as severe as it was in 1857: but it was hoped it would not be so lasting. Private letters, however, predict, ac- cording to the city editor of the Standard, "that the subsidence of the agitation will not prove so speedy, as persons on this side of the water appear to suppose." a
I THE RHYL COMMISSIONERS.…
I THE RHYL COMMISSIONERS. It is a long lane that has no turning," is an old and time honored adage: but who would have dreamt that it was ever to be verified in the case of the obstinacy of the Rhyl Commissioners. We live, however, in an age of wonders, and great as is the demand the statement will make on the general credu- lity, it is nevertheless a fact-and as such ought to be told in Gath and published in every street of Ascalon-that the Commissioners are at last betraying glimpses of reason. They were not, after all, so incorrigible as we deem- ed them: it only needed that they should be dealt with in a particular fashion. It is said of a spaniel, a woman, and a walnut tree, that they are all the better for being beaten. The Rhyl Commissioners have a similar idiosyn- cracy-they are improved by flagellation: nay it is the "open sesame" which discloses all their virtues. That merciful individual who declared that if he had a particular animal that would'nt go," he would'nt wallop him, would have found such humane tactics utterly out of place, if he had been dealing with the governing powers of Rhyl. When they wont go there is nothing for it but pounding them, and their pace becomes satis- factory instanter. Last week, for example, they refused to admit the press: it was our duty to castigate them, and this week every recreant member is on his knees, penitent, and all but crying, "Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa." We hail this altered condition with rapture. Whero there is shame there is virtue, and we may yet expect to find the Com- missioners acquitting themselves with credit. Of course the motion for the admission of the press is to be unanimously adopted; that the recreants have decided on, and the only point of difference now is as to who shall propose it at the-next meeting, for they are all claiming the privilege. Bravo Commissioners: new converts are always zealous, and we hail you as men and brothers. But what as to the remedy which has brought all this about, was it not too severe ? Diseases desperate grown By desperate appliances are relieved Or not at all. Are not resignation and penitence virtues. Of course they are, and the Commissioners ought to thank us for the opportunity we have afforded for their exercise. As we began with an adage we will end with one-a whip for a horse, a bridle for an ass, and a rod (evidently) for a fool's back.
THE FRENCH TREATY.
THE FRENCH TREATY. On the 23rd of November, tho "finishing stroke was put to the treaty of the 23rd of January by the signing of the last convention connected with the tariff, and the tariff itself. The time for the exchange of the ratification of these documents was limited to 15 days. That stage of the negociations being also gone through, the convention and the tariff were published, as a supplement to the Gazette of Friday the 30th ult.; and loud are the exultant" La Paeons"raised by the men of the Manchester school in consequence. Ac- cording to their theory, there never was such an advantageous agreeement concluded for the country; and Mr. Cobden is to be looked upon as the greatest of public benefactors; it being through his agency that it was com- menced, furthered, and completed. We differ from these gentlemen; and wo claim for our disapproval of the treaty, the same honesty of intent and of purpose which these self satisfied theorists seem to im- agine only appertains to gentlemen of their own school. Our opposition to the treaty was originally based, first, upon theinjustice arising from the English markets being opened to every article of French manufacture free of duty, whilst our merchandize was, much of it, prohibited from entering France at all, that which was admitted being subject to heavy imports; and secondly, upon the admission of French goods, free of duty, whilst, though prohibition was removed, high duties were still to be charged upon all articles sent to France from this country. We termed the arrangement concluded on these bases, one- sided, and said that France would derive by far the greatest share, if not all, of the benefit; and the publication of the final tariff on Sa- turday, taken in connection with the frag- mentary ones that previously appeared, do not at all induce us to change our opinion. The tariff, as far as it affects "yarns and tissues, of flax, hemp, and jute," comes into operation on the 1st of June; and the re- mainder of the regulations will take effect qp the 1st of October, 1861. In stipulating for this delay, the French negociators, we are told, were influenced by an apprehension of some injury to the domestic manufacturers from precipitate change, and the wish to allow time for the requisite modifications of the industrial and commercial arrangements of France. "In this object," says the Mormy Chronicle, as ardent a supporter of the treaty as the Morning Star, the English producers as a class will readily sympathise. It is, in- deed, much better for their own interests, looking forward to the permanent increase of trade with our neighbours, that no disturbance should be occasioned in French commerce or credit, and that no class of the community should become impoverished, than that a few weeks or months should be fixed for the in- creased export of certain commodities." The French negociators deserve all credit for the care they displayed for the industrial interests of their country but what care did Mr. Cobden display for those of England? Did he make the least effort-evince the least desire-to preserve them from the evils which "precipitate change" is always certain to in- troduce ? Did he endeavour to procure time for our domestic manufacturers" to make the "requisite modifications of industrial and commercial arrangements," to prevent the "impoverishing" of any class or classes ? No, most decidedly not. He agreed at once-and whilst the French system of prohibition to some articles, and high protection against all others, was in full force-to throw open the English markets to the French producers, who have been for the last nine months, and will be for the next ten, sending their articles here free of duty, whilst access to their markets, except for coal or iron, is barred, as it was before January last. On some articles lower duties will bo paid, on and after the 1st of June next; but on the great bulk of our pro- duce and manufactures a further delay of four months will take place before the modified tariff comes into force,—thus, for more than a year and a half the French will have the com- plete command of the English markets, whilst we are under the old restraints which prevent any, except the most limited, access to theirs. They will be enabled to make arrangements to forward their interests, whilst our traders can do nothing; and they can also import that machinery, which is all they want to enable them to compete with our manufacturers in the only branch in which, at present, the lat- ter excel them. The effect of the precipitate change," sanctioned by Mr. Co bden, has been in the past, injury to several trades, and ruin to the ribbon-weavers of Coventry. In the future, we expect it will be found that, by the joint operation of the delay which their nego- ciators have procured for them, before any change at all is introduced, with respect to English goods,—of the duties varying from 25 to 5 per cent. which will still be levied l,pot t5h.,??, goods,—and by the arrangements which they will, between last February and next June, have been enabled to effect for their advantage in this country, before any change takes place to benefit the English pro- ducer in France,the French will be enabled to turn the scale so completely in their favour that we shall find no corresponding- advantages to counterbalance the ruin and beggary to which from 40,000 to 60,000 Coventry opera- tives are reduced; and the reduction of wages and profits which must ensue in other families as the result of French competition.
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. LONDON, Thursday Evening. The weather here in London, is that of "gloomy dark December;" and everybody, who can, keeps at home; it is quite miserable to venture into the streets, with the humid atmosphere above and around, and the mud be- low. I never recollect to have seen London in such a puddle. We have very few persons of note in town. The Ministers will soon be leaving, as no more Cabinet Coun- cils will be held till the middle of January. It is said, notwithstanding former reports, that foreign and finan- cial affairs have formed the subject of the recent meet- ings; and that parliamentary reform, with reference to what is to be done in the next session, has not yet come under discussion.—It is expected, that Parliament will be summoned to meet" for despatch of business," on Tues- day, the 5th of February. The QUEEN remains at Windsor. The Court was to have removed to Osborne this week, for a fortnight's residence before Christmas; but fever is at present, pre- valent in the Isle of Wight; so the Royal Family will not go there.-I see that the QUEEN has recently been ordering a quantity of jewelery at Paris; and that the parcel was stolen at a railway station. The information is given in a Paris letter. A person found, the other day, in the Avendue des Champs Elysdes, a ring, in which was a fine ruby, set in a royal crown, and the letters V. R. in diamonds. The ruby can be raised, by touching a secret spring, when an almost imperceptible sterescope is discovered, the glasses of which are hardly larger than pin's heads. Their power is, however, so great, that they discover, underneath, the portraits of the PHrxcE CONSORT and the PRrxcE OF WALES, with their titles inscribed. These portraits are invisible to the naked eye. The ring was taken to the Prefecture of Police; and on inquiiy, was recognised by a jeweller, as one of many valvable jewels made for the Royal Family of England,—but which, as I have stated, had been stolen from the railway station. The police are exerting themselves to discover the offenders. Mr. BHIGIIT has been at Paris, where he and Ilr. COBDEN, on presenting themselves on the Bourse one day, were very unceremoniously hustled; and one of the commissaries of the establishment had to conduct them to the door. The member for Birmingham made his first appearance in public in England, oil Tuesday, at that town, at the meeting of a Freehold Land Society. There, as usual, he talked a great deal, and uttered, as usual, gross misrepresentations. The burden of his speech was, that land, in England, was a monopoly, that nobody could buy land-but a few persons; and that, in France and America, where there was no restraint on the sale of land, people were better off than in England. Here are two fallacies. In the first place, owners of two or three acres of land, in France and America, are not better off than the industrious mechanics and arti- sans of England, nor so well. In the next-notwith. standing the law of primogeniture, to which England and Wales owe much, and which I should be sorry to see abolished-any man who can save money, which he wishes to invest ill land, has no difficulty in doing so. It would seem that Mr. BRIGHT cannot speak without misleading. Lord JOlIN RUSSELL has the honour of reviving, by his highly injudicious and uncalled-for letter of the 27th of October, the" repeal" agitation in Ireland. On Tuesday, one of those mass nieetiiigg-which died away with O'CONNELL,—was held in the Rotunda, Dublin. That large building was crowded to excels and a great many Roman Catholic priests were on the platform. The O'DONOOHUB was in the chair, and the speakers were, besides the occupant of the chair, Mr. O'NEILL DAUNT; the Rev. Mr. MULLEN, (who concluded his harangue, by "declaring, before Europe, anl the Eternal God, that they would never more allow themselves to be trodden down as slaves;") Mr. JOHN MARTIN, one of the men of 1848; Mr. MAGUIRE, M.P.; Mr. LAWLOR; Mr. HUDES- WOOD, (a Presbyterian;) Mr. ALEXANDER M. SULLIVAN, proprietor of the Nation, and Mr. DENIS HOLLAND; the last two, moving and seconding a vote of tnanka to the Chairman; the others moving and seconding resolutions, —the purport of these resolutions was, professing loyalty to the QUEEN,-that they desired to obtain for Ireland her own rightful and native legislature; and "to be allowed," (I quote the petition to the Houses of Lords and Commons, which was agreed to,) to choose their own rulers and form of government, such choice to be declared by ballot, and universal suffage;" and the pe. titioners "encouraged thereto by the opinions lately put forth by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and other eminent persons, request your hon. house to give such assistance, as may be constitu- tionally in your power, towards causing such vote by ballot and universal suffrage, to be speedily taken in Ireland."—The meeting would hear no reply to the speakers. A person on the platform, made some obser- vations, when Mr. MAGUIRE, in his speech, asked What chance had they of the grand jury laws being placed on a better footing by the English Parliament I" Immedi. ately loud cries were raised of Smash him," "Throw him over," and "Fling him out of the window."—The same gentleman, or some other, who attempted to ob. tain a hearing, before the meeting closed, was roughly handled. There is little foreign news this morning. The bom- bardment of Gaeta commenced on Tuesday: the fire of Cialdini's troops being returned by the garrison. On that day, the Consulta of Naples was opened, and POERIO was elected Vice-President of that body. Tranquility then prevailed in that city and provinces, and the government had revoked the harsh measures decreed by Gen. PINELLI, when he declared the Abruzzi in a state of siege. MAZZINI'S paper publishes three ad. dresses,—to the British parliament, to the Italian par. liament, and to the FRENCH EMPEROR, professing to be signed by numerous Italians, and to speak the universal sentiments of the Italian people, calling for the with- drawal of the French troops from Rome. In France by a decree of the 4th, Marshal VAILLANT is made Minister of the Household-the new attributes of the office to be determined hereafter. Further disorders have broken out in Hungary, where, it is reported, KOSSUTH, KLAPKA, and PULZKI, aim at constituting themselves a proyisional government. Information from India, to the 10th Nov. indicate, that a famine appears imminent; and the Durbars of Kotah, Dahr, and Bursee, had refused to suffer provisions to be taken from those provinces, even in the fulfilment of contracts. Immediate steps should be taken for the relief of those who may suffer from this callÍty.
