W e dare say not, M r. Johnson abandons the controvery at all events, with, the grave intimation that henceforward relations between E n g land and America must bo amenable to justice and to law. On this side the Atlantic, few will be found to object to the decision. It would bo hardly gracious perhaps to analyse the words in which it is expressed, and which seem to imply that hitherto our relations have been controlled by a canon o f criticism and a standard o f equity to which law and justice were equally strangers. Such a suggestion could bo extracted from the Message, but we forbear to press the subject. The two countries will be nono the worse friends fo r a petty blundering in official phraseology. On this score we are far from being immaculate. the Consistorial propositions relative to the sees o f V ich y and Valence are already in type. ’ The same journal is responsible for this curious fragment of Roman news :— . “ I t appears that several members o f the diplomatic body, M. de Sartiges at their head, recently asked permission o f the Government to establish in Rome a sort o f Diplomatic Circle in which those invited (ambassadors, charges d ’affaires, resident ministers, sccrettpres, Roman attaches, and their friends, the nobility agjf the leading citizens), should be able to meet from tijpe to time to discuss the affairs o f the day, smoke, <'’- 0 4 read the journals. Cardinal Antonelli said that the introduction into the club o f an element foreign to diplomacy would be calculated to compromise the lattir. l ie , therefore, refused the requested permission with all possible politeness.” Whilst’ British law is reducing Fenianism to a stark skeleton jin Ireland, the Brethren in America, probably, by way o f a preliminary field exercise, are doing^tbeii; best to emasculate and degrade the movement; ( Tfie President has fallen out with the Senate and|defie6ihfcm. TheSenate defies the President, and all but ¡ntiraa&^tjiift he has laid foul hands upon the E x chequer. M r :" 0 )M ahony, it appears, issued 6 8 ,0 0 0 dollars’ worth o f Irish Republican bonds without the sanction o f his parliament— a fatal policy for which a disastrous precedent— or something like it— may be found in the history o f Charles I . Parliament repudiated the bonds, and then came the Fenian debacle. When the mail left the constitution was settling down into a noisy chaos. Even that sensitive guardian o f public morality, the New York Herald, had denounced the Brotherhood, and recommended them to the notice o f the police. E t4 n B m t e ! There are no more battles to t i g h t ; and, as a natural corollary, there is no further need o f flattering and fawning on the Irish citizens o f the Republic. ~ The Osservatore Cattolicn, a Catholic journal published at Milan, supplies some interesting details o f a revolutionary outrage committed in the cathedral o f that c ity on Friday. During H igh Mass, and at the moment when the kiss o f peace, which precedes the communion, was being given a bomb exploded. General agitation was the result. Shrieks rose from the crowd ; several women fainted, and the greater part o f the congregation precipitately quitted the church. Notwitstanding the confusion no;accldentoccurred;the fragments o f the projectile, through the goodness o f Providence, dispersed themselves without doing injju r y to anyone. W hen the panic had somewhat subsided, the congregation re-entered the church, and mass was tranquilly ended in the presence o f ten thousand faithful ; then Mgr. Ghilardi appeared in the pulpit, and the serenity o f his bearing diffused universal confidence. The eminent prelate had taken fo r the text o f his discourse the necessity o f uniting faith to good works ; and in his exordium ho found himself led b y his subject to speak o f the Dogma defined eleven years ago by our H oly Father, Pius I X . , and to place the authority o f his word under the in vocation o f Mary. The Paris correspondent o f the New York Herald, writing on the 21st o f November, says ; “ The statements o f certain American correspondents o f the E n g lish press, and the denials o f the alleged English holders o f and losers o f the Confederate cotton bonds, will, I Then a simultaneous cry burst spontaneously from the heart o f the immense assemblage. The ladies waved their handkerchiefs ; the men who formed at ot ana losers oi uiu wumouw.-.w- - - - - . i least one half the congregation, raised their hats, as believe, be pretty thoroughly refuted ere long, by the L k o f enthusiastic jo y . “ V iv e Marie!

The theory o f the New York Herald, in explanation o f this matter is undoubtedly the correct one— that the gentlemèn who make the denials had never in reality received or applied for o r held any Confederate bonds. But the names o f every ono of them, with the exception above given, are, I know postively, down fo r a certain number o f shares which were attributed to them b y the Confederate managers, undoubtedly with an object. The list of bondholders is divided into tw o classes —those who received interest on their bonds and those who did not. In tho latter class are the gentlemen who have made the denial. They were down on the books for a certain number o f bonds, which, had the Confederacy became a fact, they would in all p r o bability have received and profited by as a reward for their services. Mr. Delane, o f the London Times, is down. Mr. Gladstone is down for twenty, and Sir F . Pollock, who gave the decision against us in the Alexandra case, has no less than one hundred against his name. Regarding Mr. Gladstone, there is other strong presumptive evidence. I know that Mr. D udley Mann said to a gentleman who called upon him a year ago in London, ‘ I am sorry that you did not come a little sooner, as you would have met Mr. Gladstone ; ’ and added, 1 he is one o f the holders o f our bonds.’ But enough o f this at present. The story that the list lately published was fabricated by M r. Bigelow or anybody else will, I believe, receive a triumphant denial in a short time from documents the honesty and genuineness o f which cannot be called in question.” Marie 1” resounded 'on every side. The vaults o f the sumptuous edifice trembled. The eminent prelate moved by the spectacle endeavoured for a long time, in vain, by voice and gesture to moderate the enthusiasm. Silence was at last obtained, and the discourse was listened to with the most religious attention. “ Honour,” adds our contemporary, “ to the Catholics o f Milan— honour to them for this spontaneous protest against the murderous intentions o f Unitarian impiety. Honour to the saintly Bishop o f Mondovi, who has merited by his evangelical bearing fresh sneers from a jealous power which, it is known, has no other means o f protecting itself than by warning him to cease preaching, and return to his diocese under pain o f imprisonment.” — W e read in a letter from Jerusalem, addressed to the Vera buona Novella, that the Catholics of Aleppo, who have been long compelled to assist at the celebration o f the Divine mysteries in an old factory, will soon have a church o f their own. The Porte has issued a most favourable firman t o this effect and the Sultan has generously contributed 5,875 francs to the erection o f the edifice. This takes place in Turkey, whilst in Italy, in the bosom o f a nation Catholic pa r excellence, the avowal has escaped M . Sella, in his discourse at Cossato, that his government considers there are too many churches, too many priests, and too many monks; that they are too rich, and that it is necessary to despoil and suppress them.__________ I TH E F E N I A N TRIALS. A (fork letter of Wednesday says •_ The trial of Charles Underwood O’Connell (against whom the grand ju ry had found a bill) was proceeded with durinir the day. t> — A movement which has already attained respectable dimensions, has been set on foot in France to raise a national monument to the late General Lamoriciere. The project is warmly encouraged at Rome, and unless the government o f the- Emperor, in one o f its periodical fits o f jealousy should think fit to prohibit it, France will soon possess'd memorial worthy ofthe soldier upon whose long and perilous carser, neither tho license o f calumny, nor the bitterness of partisan hate can alflx a blot. Speaking o f the contemplated monument the Correspondance de Rome says :__ “ This manifestation is not merely an act o f homago to the memory o f the illustrious dead. I t expresses above all things, the faith and dévotion to Catholic France to the H oly See. I t does not confine itself either to religious services, to funeral orations, nay not even to subscriptions f o r a monument. I t culminates in fresh enrolments in the service o f the H o ly Father ■ and this is the most glorious side o f this sublimo movement o f French enthusiasm. In com ing forward to Iswell the ranks o f the Pontifical army, the Zouaves Io f I860, and tho new volunteers continue the work o f those heroes, who by a singular predestination, had received in baptism the names o f Leo and Christopher— names o f which they were so worthy— strom* and resigned !

W e l l informed persons agree in thinking that a Consistory will be held as usual on the first Monday or Tuesday, after the 21st December. As a matter o f certainty Pierce Nagle, tho approver, was examined, and deposed to having seen the prisoner in the second chair at a Fenian meeting at the office of John O’Mahony, New York. Constable Walsh swore that when O’Connell was brought to the police barracks at Queenstown be voluntarily stated that, if tho parcel which bad been found on bim were opened, it would criminate a good many persons; that love for his country made bim leave it, and that he returned to die for it. Several witnesses were examined to prove the handwriting of the Head Centre in America, after which the court adjourned. At the sitting of tho Court on Thursday the trial was resumed. Several witness were examined. Mr. Butt addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and Mr. Barry replied. Mr. Justice Keogh charged the j'ury. Tho prisoner was found guilty and sentenced to ten years’ penal servitude. He made a violent speech, and after being sentenced said I hope there will be an exchange of prisoners before that time.” The police were searching for Stephens on Thursday in Irish-town, Dublin.

A private letter from Rome, brings this piece of pleasant intelligence : “ Tho sovereign Pontiff continues to enjoy perfect health/’ We have now to state, on the authority of the Monde that the consistory which was to have been held on the 18th inst., has been adjourned to a date not yet decided upon. Our cont emporary ascribes the adjournment to motives of wisdom and sagacity on the part of the Holy Father. Cardinal Ciacchi, whose death we announce elsewhere, was raised to the dignity of the purple, in a consistory held in August 1837. IT A LY . The draft of the address proposed in the Chamber of Deputies in reply to the speech from the throno, has been made public. It congratulates the King on tho security of his foreign relations, and on the tranquillity which reigns at home. After a prolonged howl over the financial embarrassments of the kingdom, the address says:— “ The Chamber, appreciating the motives which led your Majesty to discontinue the negotiations with Rome, is persuaded that the prerogatives of the Crown and the rights of the nation will always be maintained intact. It is necessary and indispensable that, by liberal laws, the relations between Church and State should be clearly defined. The representatives of the nation will therefore take into mature consideration the bills already declared urgent relative to the abolition of religions bodies. “ While they rely upon the favourable judgment of public opinion in Catholic Europe upon the separation of what appertains to the Chnrch from that which belongs to tho nation, they rejoice that the agreement with France, sanctioned by the September Conveniion, has begun to enter into force. “ The evacuation of our soil by friendly but foreign troops is a fresh confirmation of the principles of non-intervention, upon which is based the international law of modern society.” In the T ab l e t of last week the critical position o f the Ministry was noticed at some length. On Thursday came the inevitable collapse. The Minister of the Interior announced in the Chamber of Deputies that tho Cabinet had tendered their resignation, which had been accepted by the King. General Lamavmora also made a similar declaration in the Senate. HUNGARY. Letters from Pesth state that both Houses of tho Hungarian Diet paid their respects to the Sovereign iu their corporate capacity at the Castle of Buda to-day. Tho Emperor received his guests in the Throue-room. llerr Bernath, the Senor President of tho Lower House, read an address, of which the following is a specimen, to his Majesty :— “ Encouraged by the magnanimous expressions with which your Majesty has deigned within tho last few days to raise the hopes of your faithful subjects in this country, this House tenders*with full readiness, and with the earnestness befitting the sacredness of the cause, its co-operation, its faithful and untiring services in all matters which, in accordance with our laws, may advance and promote the welfare of yonr Majesty, your royal throne, the country, and the people. “ In connection herewith, most gracious king and lord, this House is also convinced that if, after tho successful settlement of the preliminary political questions, your Majesty shall take the royal oatJi beneath the open sky, in the presence of the millions of the people, and all hearts will then be turned towards your Majesty, time and opportunity will be afforded us, as daily witnesses of the urgent wants of the people, and as the interpreters of their wishes, to recommend to your Majesty’s paternal grace such measures as may be found necessary to promote the public welfare and content, with general prosperity and peace.” The Emperor replied :— my tho bottom of my Heart. Ureat and difficult is tho task which awaits you. If, however, as I doubt not, your acts are guided by mutual confidence and the principles of fairness—if your wisdom,'combined with moderation, corresponds to tho extent of my paternal intentions, this Diet will form an ever memorable epoch of newly-established content in the life of the natioD, for history testifies that no labour is too difficult to be accomplished by the Hungarian people acting in concert with its King.’ Tho Prince-Primate, tho leader of tho Upper House, then addressed his Majesty in similar terms, and 'the Emperor said:— “ I am convinced of the sincerity of your feelings, as well as of the fact that you are worthy descendants of your ancestors, who were always firm supporters of the throne by the union of fidelity and patriotism.’’ In Thursday’s sitting of the Lower House of the Hungarian Diet, Count Julius Andrassy, the newly-elected first Vice-President, made an inaugural speech, in which he said that the western portion of tho empire should bo convinced that tho rights of Hungary are in unison with the interests of the empire, but that Parliamentary centralisation is opposed to those rights “ Our aim ’ concluded Count Andrassy, “ should not be tho triumph of Hungary, but the consolidation of tlie power of Austria. I trust that Hungary will keep in view the rights of majesty and the material interests of the empire.’’ The sitting was then adjourned until the 10th January, CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.

After seven years struggling, it is now, thank God, opened, but there is a heavy debt upon it, which cramps and cripples us, and renders out of question Schools, though as much needed as the Church itself. To assist me in paying off this debt, I still, therefore, solicit a helping hand.
