those of the Pope ' s own subj rebelled against his temporal rule have done so without pretext or precedent , and in a way subversive of all order , authority , and governinent , and destructive of peace , religion , and society . They say that in the Papal rule there is no such thing as oppression , tyranny ^ or even misgovTBrnraent ; but , on the contrary , that'it is benignant , enlightened , and liberal . Those who sign this document pretend to protest against this and against that , and with great pomp and decision of language . The declaration is signed by some of the most respectable of the moderate Catholics of England—such as Lord Petre , Lord Herries , the Hons . Charles Langdale
and Stourton , and also , by Mr . Richard Doyle , late of Punch . The Roman Catholic clergy of Salford , who have had a meeting on the same subject , agreed to an address which is much more modestly worded . The right of the Pope to rale over those who do not wish it , is called " inalienable , " and the people who determine to assert their independence are called " wicked . " It is asserted that the real object of those who seek the abrogation of the temporal functions , is to pull the Church down altogether . One might have to come to the conclusion that the Roman Catholics of the United Kingdom are a very different body of believers from the Roman Catholics of Italy .
Refuges for the Homeless Poor . —At the meeting of the supporters of the Fieldr-lane institution on Wednesday , the Earl of Shaftesbury said , He felt very deep gratitude , indeed , to the public press , to that great paper the Times , for the assistance it had given to the cause , and very deep gratitude to those charitable persons who contributed the £ 8 , 000 towards the funds of the institution . He felt no gratitude to the public at large , for the public never assisted in these matters to the extent It ought to do . This £ 8 , 000 was contributed by a very small section . If one-tenth of the public would do only one-fifth of their duty , they would
riot only have enough for the Fiekl-lane Refuge , but for 10 , 000 of these institutions all over the kingdom . These refuges were indispensably necessary in the present state of society , many of those availing themselves of their advantages being persons of education , who , would perhaps recover their position if they could avoid the stain which a workhouse cast upon them . The principle of workhouses was to repel persons from them , and when it was considered that not one-hundredth of those requiring temporary relief received it from workhouses , a strong case was made out for public support to these refuges . Another Horse Tamer . — Mr ! Barnett , a riding master in St . John ' s-wood , has entered the lists with Mr . Rarey , and undertakes to prove that the Ainerican system of horse-taming is neither new nor true , but had been tried and had failed long before Mr . Rarey thought of adopting it . Mr . Barnett alleges that all horse-breakers know the Rarey method of throwing a horse , and practise it in particular cases , but that they have no confidence in it for general purposes , believing that the horse soon forgets his fall , and relapses into all his former bad habits . Several horses were -experimented on by Mr . Barnett , on Wednesday , in an open space adjoining the Eyre Arms ; and the lecturer was fairly successful in throwing them without the aid of the surcingle , although certuinly not so oxpeditiously as MrRarey . "

At the dinner aftor tha proceedings , the Prince eaid : — « Gontlomon' , —As I stand hero to-day in tno place of my most gracious fathor , I have first to express , in hjs name , his deep regret that ho is provented from coming among you .

The Latest Imperial Manifesto. A Pamphle...
THE LATEST IMPERIAL MANIFESTO . A pamphlet , entitled " The Pope and the Congress , " has just been published at Paris , from the pen of M . De La Guerroniere , the author of the pamphlet " Napoleon III . et 1 'Italie , " which heralded the late war . The misgovernmentof the Papal dominions is treated as something inveterate and inevitable , arising from causes much deeper than the good or evil disposition of any particular Pontiff , and springing out of the very nature of the Pontificate itself . The Pope is not fit to govern a large state , or , indeed , to perform any political duties , and , therefore , the Romagna should not be restored to him . " The city of Rome and the patrimony of St . Peter must be guaranteed to the Sovereign Pontiff by the great Powers , with a considerable revenue , that the Catholic states will pay , as a tribute of respect and protection to the Head of the Church . An Italian militia , chosen from the elite of the Federal army , should assure the tranqnility and inviolability of the Holy See . Municipal liberties , as extensive as possible , should release the Papal Government from all the details of administration , and thus give a share of public local life to those who are disinherited of political activity . Finally , every complication , every idea of war and revolt , must be for ever banished from the territory governed by the Pope , that it may be said , . where ' rergns the Vicar of Christ , there also reign wellbeing , concord , and peace . It is the task of the Congress to effect this transformation , become necessary to consolidate the temporal authority of Rome . "
The Congress. General Dabormida Has Offi...
THE CONGRESS . General Dabormida has officially communicated to the French Government that Count Cavour arid the Chevalier Desambrois will be the representatives of Sardinia at the approaching Congress . —In an autograph letter of the Tope to the Emperor , his Holiness declares that he is willing to be represented at the Congress , having full confidence in the loyalty and firmness of the eldest son of the Church , to whom God has intrusted the mission to protect the patrimony of St . Peter against illegal covetousness . It is stated that , on the 28 th inst ., Cardinal Antonelli will e " mbark on board a Pontifical corvette for France . Monsignore Bernardi will be intrusted ad interim with the Ministerial functions of the Cardinal . At Stockholm an enthusiastic demonstration of the citizens in favour of the Italian people has taken place . The Swedish Diet has unanimously resolved to present an address to the King requesting his Majesty to defend at the Congress the right of the Italian people to decide their own affairs .
Garibaldi. Giuseppe Garibaldi Has Addres...
GARIBALDI . Giuseppe Garibaldi has addressed an appeal to the women of Italy . This proclamation is written in dignified language , nnd is intended to induce those whom he now addresses to give all their superfluities in defence of the holy war , and to do it without stint , seeing that the powerful ones of the onrth would bow before the millions that could be spared from their savings . Such appeals at such a time show that Garibaldi lias something in his head , and may yet prove himself to be the Washington of The resignation of Garibaldi , says n letter from Milan , has by no tncans checked the subscriptions for arms . Not a duy passes in which the General docs not receivo numbers of letters from Italy , as well as from abroad , announcing new subscriptions . Every one writes , and expects an answer . Ine result is that almost eyory day the papers bring some letter from Garibaldi to some person or other . Every one thinks himself justified in printing a letter from Garibaldi , without thinking that this continual Garibaldi correspondence is , to say tho least , in very quest ion able , taste , and places tho Goneral in a falso position , as if ho wished to obtrude his name on public attention—a proceeding from which no man can be freer than Garibaldi .
Excitement In Hungary. A X.Bttbh From Pe...
EXCITEMENT IN HUNGARY . A X . BTTBH from Pesth , dated Dec . ICth , says : — - " Groat demonstrations have boon mado in honour of Kisfaludy , tho great modern dramatic pout oi Hungary . One of those demonstrations was attendance on a solpmn funoral mass in his honour at tho Catholic Cathedral . After this mass , which took place yesterday , a groat number of Pereons wont to the Lutheran Protestant Church to " frfttornlso with a body of Protestants who had assembled to draw up one more protest against . the Imperial patent of the 1 st September , but as tho rrotofltontu had assembled no in tho church , but in tho
adjacent school-room , the visitors could not be admitted . Just at that moment a large body of police , accompanied by strong detachments of infantry and horse gendarmerie , the former charged with the bayonet , ' the latter with swords drawn rushed on the people . A scene of frightful confusion ensued ; men , women , and children fled by the different outlets ( the scene took place in the Coal-market ) , but many fell , and more were knocked down by the soldiery and the police ; some unfortunate wretches were even trampled on by the horses . It is said that several persons received stabs from bayonets and cuts from swords . When the attack of the soldiery commenced , some men raised the national cry of " The country for ever I" ( JEljena hazajy , and it was regarded as a signal for resistance . But luckily some gentlemen who happened to be present pressed the people not to think of fighting , and their advice was" followed . Otherwise , there would have been fearful bloodshed . The object of the Austrian functionaries was no doubt so to exasperate the people as to drive them to battle ; and so have a pretext for " re-establishing order , " with the strong hand , and proclaiming the state of siege . Although , however , baulked in this Christian-like design , they will , it is not doubted , very shortly impose the state of siege on this unfortunate capital . The Cologne Gazette states that the Austrian Government , having lately consecrated an expiatory chapel , which had been biiilt by its orders on the spot where G-eorgey , in 1849 , had hanged Count Zichy , on suspicion that he was acting for the interest of Austria ., a counter-demonstration -was organised at Pesth , and the magnates , dressed iu their national costumes , assembled at the Church of St . Francis , to be present at a mass in commemoration of the death of nine insurgent generals who had been executed at Arad . The authorities refrained from any interference . A Vienna letter says : — " The Austrian Government is unable to cope with' the difficulties surrounding it everywhere , since it is certain that Bohemia , tho Tyrol , and Galicia sire just as dissatisfied as the countries of the Hungarian crown , though their complaints have not . found their way into the public papers ; The ministers believe that Prince Mettemieh ' s nostrum , of playing one nationality against the other , and of exciting religious dissensions , may save the monarchy , or rather their absurd system of government . Their schemes , however , do not seem to succeed .
Sxate Of Venice.—A Venice Letter Of The ...
Sxate of Venice . —A Venice letter of the 14 th , in the Patrie , says : —This city is a desert , and the distress is frightful . Last night in the most frequented street in Venice , the Ferezzia , two ladies were attacked and l-obbed of their money and jewels ; it is heartrending to consider that whilst brigandage has entirely ceased in Romagna , the population here , so quiet and so moral , is forced to crime by excess of misery . How can Europe see such a spectacle and hot be touohed by it ? Movement at Naples . —Letters received from Naples state that during the night between the 12 tn and 13 th inst . numerous arrests , including several eminent persons , were made . Thu persons arrested are accused of having clandestinely printed journals , and of having supported a subscription in behalf of General Garibaldi , several documents concerning which have been seized .

SPAIN AND MOROCCO . A telegram from Madrid states that on the 20 th inst . 8 , 000 Moors attacked tho Spanish , but were energetically repulsed , and compollod by grnpo shot and grenades to retreat in groat disorder . The Spanish had fifty-one wounded Ten nwn-of--war , formerly stationed at Havnmmh , huvo just arrived to reinforce tho squadron at Algcslras . A great quantity of provisions has been dispatched to the annyii Africa . A letter from Gibraltar says :-Making all allowance tor tho l ^ -lin { r of discouragement natural to their condition , it still is quite evident to mo that tho Sp : uii h army , at least , takes by no means the sumo sanguine and cheerful viowof tho African war which it was reported to do before the contest commenced .
