[ London Tt*mpemmr Mar. 'fire DISSOI ITION AXDTHE ELECTIONS— Ahetwg of the New Parliament . —The Time# says: On Wednesday, the last Parliament elected under the Reform Act of 1862 will be dissolved. The mail* of Wednesday evening will carry to all the returning officers of the Kingdom writs under the Great Beal, commanding them to convene the const imcncios to choose members to serve for them in Parliament. The proclamation will be made in almost all the constituencies on Thursday, and the day of nomination lor boroughs will be fixed for this day week. The number of boroughs absolutely un eontested was. probably, never so 'small as it will be in the coming elect ions. The representatives of the unoontested towns will be elected on Monday. The contested boroughs will l>e polled on Tuesday, and, bv Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, the balance of parties will be definitely struck. The result of the contest in the English boroughs will resolve the greater number of doubtful elements in the question, “How the neat Parliament will be divided ?” and we anticipate that, on Wednesday morning, next week, it will he aeon that the opposition have an as sured majority, which we may now cau tiously describe as approaching n hun dred The time, however, between to day and the end of the contest is so short that it is idle to waste arguments on the point, and we are willing to ooncede any Reduction which tHe friends of the Min istry may suggest as soiree during the next week. The Ir&h and Scotch burghs, the English counties, and the comities of sister Kingdoms will hold their elections in the latter part of tic next week, and the week following, and as tliere is no contest for the representation of Orkney, it aeeraa possible that the members of the new House will he completed before the end of this month. A alight interval of rest may, perhaps, be acceptable when the general election is over; but it is doubtful whether it would not, on the whole, be more agreeable to reduce this interval to as abort a period Hi possible, so as to allow of a longer recess at Christ mas* The necessity, Os determining the future policy of the Nation towards Ire land, and, incidentally, the fate of the Ministry,*makes it imperative that the debate on the Address should terminate not later than Friday night, the ISth, or Saturday morning, the 19th of December; and it allows that Parliament must as semble, and the members be sworn in, at the latest in the week, ending the 12th of December* Thitri.es, Thursday Morning.—On last night, a respect able young man, named John Hyatt, was killed in the shop of Mr. Martin Ryan, of this town. It appears that the deceased and his brother went to the establishment of Mr. Martin Ryan to drink, and, after having partaken of half a glass, of wbi&ey, the deceased s brother left the shop, and, in leas than one minute after, the depeasocNras struck on the head with g skull-cracker, und foil Hfoless 6n the floor. Medical assUanpe was immediately scut for, and Dr. Parcel! soon after arrived, hut the deceased was dead. Three persorti have already been arrested.— h't.di Timr». Limekick, 'Thursday Evening.—-Mr. Brett, County Surveyor of Limerick, was fired at by a person unknown, oti Tuesday night, near his residence at Ratbkeale. Fortunately, he escaped uninjured, hut no trace of the would be assassin has since been discovered. Tim General Oouiicu, at Rome.— The Tuhte/, of «Saturtlmy, which appears, for tho first time, under the conduct of Father Herbert Vaughan, says: ’•The Roman congregations hove been working bard all throofpi the Bummer, in prepara tion tor the General Council, and this week they have begun again with renewed vigor. Cardinals Billo and Reisach are oestinually engaged upon it. Consnltors from all porta of tbe Church are being invited to Rome; and we have a special gratification in adding that the Holy Father baa sent 0 particular invitation to tbe Very Rev. Dr. Newman* take part m its preparation —the first invitation of tbe kind that baa come to an English Priest. Bat we regret extremely to leani that Father Newman’s age and health, MBBMB Off TO WWIBBL and the peculiar effect upon his constitu tion of the climate of Rome, have com polled him to submit these eimmistunces to the Holy Father as reasons for being allowed to remain quietly at home. An invitation to accompany an illustrious Bishop ns Theologian to the Council was declined by Father Newman some months ago.” Thk Throne ok Srai v.—Tin* streets of Madrid were placarded, on the fitb, with i large bills, wnich drew much attention. The placards contained these words ; “Geneml Novaliehes lias so far recov ered from his wound* that he was able to leave his chamber, for the find; time, on Friday.*’ The anniversary of the death qf Uiego, who was executed on the Place Cebcda, was cek*bruted, on tbe 7th, by a religious ceremony. It is rumored that Senores Olasuga, Nicolas, Riverto, and Martot are to replace Senores Lorenzana, Romevo, \ ’Ortiz, and Agala in the Ministry. The entry of tbe two hitter would be regarded as a concession to the Republican party. Castclar is spoken of aa Minister to Mexico. The Government are buying back from the people the guns which were distributed to or seized by them in the first days of the Revolution. Amongst the placards carried about in Madrid is one with the inscription, “Abayo la Deuda,” (“Down with the Public Debt”) The people are becoming witty under tl»c new regime. The Espe* ranza said that, if liberty of worship was allowed in Spain, it would go to colonize some desert island in Oceanica. The Ibi’ria replies by exclaiming, ‘‘Success to our future Robinsons.” The Italian Candidate —There is some reason to believe that, the Italian Government is endeavoring to secure supporters for the Duke of Aosta as a candidate the Spanish Throne. v lt is stated, on good authority, that Italian agents have beep sent to Paris, ‘Berlin, and other Capitals, to sound the principal European Governments on this point, and, if necessary, to represent the proposed candidate in as favorable a light as possi ble. One of it* warmest advocates ip Paris was Bignor Ratazxi and Mdme Rutazzi. Bohns Bonaparte is now ac tively engaged in continuing the nego tiations opened by her husband with certain influential French politicians. At Madrid, the Duke of Aosta is believed to have a strong supporter in M. 0!o --/.aga. —Vail MaJl (Jalette. The States ok the Churcii.— Rom*, Nov. 11 —The Pope has placed the ser vices of his physician at the disposal of Fuad Pacha, whose state of health has become worse. An oi dihunec of Cardinal Autonelli announce* that His Holiness has ordered a modification us the export duty upon two hundred art isles of manu facture, in older to encourage the devel opment of trade. The Pope has also in structed the Papa! Charge d’Affaire* at Lucerne to afford all possible succour to the sufferers fruqi tlie recent inundations. A Woman Thrashing a Clergyman. -—At the Police Court, Liverpool, ou Saturday, a woman, named Ann Troy, was fined o*. and costs for assaulting!be Rev. John Noble, Corate of Si. Titus’ Church, in that town. Tlie Rev. gentle man was visiting in the district where the defendant 1 ivied, and inquired of her what place of worship she attended. She replied by giving him several blows on tlie side of the head, finishing by “flooring" him, much to his chagrin and annoyance. Mr. Diskakli's JRfekch at Tim Lord Mayo*’* Hanoi kt.— I The 7Hme9 Rays : Mr. Disraeli was Hcvrr id Iwttor form than he was lint night if the Guildhall. The sfx ecb. in which he replied to the tons! of her Majesty’* Ministers was a miracle of assurance. The ©am* with which lit* assn mol that, as « mutter of course* he woukl be eallod upon to reply twelve months hence in the ©ante Hall to the some toast, was inimitable. The Time*, however, gathers from the speech that Mi PisraeU’s career as Prime Minister approaches bis term ; he has no new card to play. He most saeeutnbior a season to adverse fortune, and trust to the Strength of oust >m among mankind lor a reaction in his favor, when the act which is now imminentehall have been accomplished. The speech of last night, with alt its audacity iind art, reveals the fact that the speaker is driven to his hist stake, sod knows that be must lam. Women and the Franchise.—. London, Monday — J udgment r wan given this morning in the Court of Common Ph*a«, on the appeal affecting the lights of women to the electoral franchise. The Lord Chief Justice and the ocher Jndges delivered separate judgments, but they all agreed there was not sufficient authority for saying that, by the common law, women bad a right to vote for members of Parliament; whilst, on the other hand, there was tin* uninterrupted prac tice of centuries to show that women had not voted. The appeal was dismissed. The Court of Common Piece has de cided eight or nine cases of appeal, raising the question us to the right of women to vote for member, of the Parliament, the adverse judgment given in the earlier part of the day being hidd as decisive. Tiik Glkrgy am* thk Elections.— There is a general impression that the country clergy ar»* ‘working” the elec tions vigorously in the Tory interest. One or two facts may be cited in support of this view. In West Stafford*!*ire there arc twenty-four Oicrgymeu upon tin* Committee of Messrs. Ingram and Child, the Tory candidates, while there arc only two Clergymen on the Committee of Messrs. Foley and Foster, the Liberal Candida lea. South Warwickshire affords a still more remarkable illustration. Not fewer than thirty-nine Clergymen figure on the Committee of Messrs Wise and Hardy, the Tories, while only nine cast in their lot with the Liberals, Lord Hyde and Sir Robert Hamilton. And yet these very Clergymen, who are always to be found on tne side of restriction and privi lege, wonder why the working clauses don’t can* to receive their instructions! —Birminyhank Daily Post. Spain and thk St. Vincent ok Paul Society. — Pari$ t Friday— A member of the Society of St. Vincent* de Paul, suppressed by the Provisional Govern ment of Madrid, has addressed the fol lowing letter to the Esjterauza news paper, published in tbe same capital : “The decree of the Provisional Gov ernment dissolving the Conferences of St. Vincent de Paul is an outrage on the liberty proclaimed by millions of voices, from Cadiz to Santander. I, who am as Liberal as tbe Minister can pos*ibly be, protest, with all iny force, against this act; and I demand liberty for all alike, in accordance with the cry of the Nation. I have ever been in the ranks of the Pro gresista party; 1 have served as an officer of*the National militia;!l have been a member of Municipalities under the Government of the Progreststas; and, finally, in tbe present Revolution. I have been elected by the Democrats member of the Provisional Junta. Persuaded as I am that true liberty cannot be in contra diction with that which has always been called charity, I applied to be admitted into the Conference; I was admitted, and, for the lost thirteen years, I have con tributed towards the succor and! consola tion of the indigent. During these thir teen year*, I filled theduties of Treasurer, which has given me die right, and, accord ing to the regulation* of the Society, im posed upon me the obligation of interpos ing in the important affair* of the gov ernment of the Conferences; and I now formally declare that the Society of St. Vincent de Paul doc* not conspire in any way in political affairs; the member* of that Society leave politics to them who have nothing else to do. They do not conspire, t repeat it, and I shall repeat it a thousand times; and no Government, be its denomination what it may, has any thing to fear from it. 1 say more, you raav test perfectly sure that no offence, nothing which is punishable by the Code, has ever been commended in their meet ings. I pray you, Mr. Editor, to be good enough to publish these few lines in the interest of the sincerity of my opinions, which have ever been Liberal, and which the decree above mentioned has so much offended. Joj*e Gonzalez Reiz. Those who advised the dissolution of the Society of St. Vincent de Pool meant, no doubt, to intimate the proceed ing of M. de Persigny when he was Min ister of the Interior some years ago. No charge whatever has been brought against the institution, which existed ouly for charitable purpose*. The Society, which has been dissolved by the Provisional Government without any avowabfe* mo tive, consisted, as in France, of persons belonging te all political parties, and of every shade of opinion ; and the Liberals, who, like M. Goosalo* Ruiz, were mem bers of it, must find it difficult to explain the conduct of these who call themanves men of progras, and wbo prove it by such an act as tlie suppression of a society especially establish'd tor tlie relief of the sick and the indigent.-—TViw*’ Cerres p<mdcat. .NLuvin*. thk Most or Royalty, —A Bale paper state* that the keeper of the Buffet, at the railway station charge*.

Jerusalem slept us quietly amid i*r hills as a child upon the breast of its mother. The noiseless sentinel stood like a statue at his post, and the philosopher’s lamp burned dimly in the recesses of his cham ber. But a monil darkness involved the nations in its unlightened shadows. Rea son shed a faint glimmering over the minds of men, like the cold and s insuffi cient shining of u distant star. The im mortality of man’s spiritual nature was unknown, his relations unto Heaven un discovered, and his future destiny ob sciired in a cloud of mystery. It was at this period that two forms of ethereal mould hovered about the land of God’s chosen people. They came like .sister angels, sens to earth on some embassy ot ove. The one of majestic stature and well-formed limb, which her snowy dra >ery scarcely concealed, in her erect >e*ring and Ready eye exhibiting the lighest degree of strength and confi dence. Her right arm was extended in an impressive gesture upward, where night appeared to have placed her darkest pa villum; while on her left reclined her de licate companion, in form and countenance the contrast of the other. She was drooping ike a flower moistened by refreshing dew*, and her bright and troubled eyes scanned them with ardent but varying glances. Suddenly, a light, like the sun, flashed out from the Heavens, and Faith and Hope hailed, with excitiug songs, the ascending star of Bethlehem Years rolled away, and the Stranger was seen at Jerusalem. He was a meek uuassnm ing man, whose happiness seemed to consist in acts of benevolence to the lurnan race. There were deep traces of sorrow on His countenance, though no one knew why he grieved, for He lived in the praeiioe of every virtue, cnl was loved by all tlie good and wise, r. By and by it was rumored that the Stranger worked miracles, that the blind saw, that tbe dumb spake, tlie dead arose, the ocean moderated its chafing tide, the very thunder articulated, lie was tbe Son of God. Envy assailed Him to death. " Thickly guarded, He slowly ascended the Hill of Calvary. A heavy croaw bent Him to tbe earth. But Faith leaned on His arm, and Hope, dipping her pinions in Ilis blood, mounted to tbe skies. OS, ON FOR THE FUTURE. On. on. for the future ! the Pw,M.t la thine.
