those of the Pope ' s own subjects who have rebelled against his temporal rule have done so without pretext or precedent , and in a way subversive of all order , authority , and government , and destructive of peace , religion , and society . They say that in the Papal rule"there is no such thing as ' oppression , tyranny , or even roisgovernment ; 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 , arid also by Mr . Richard Doyle , late of Punch . The Eoman 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 rule over those who do not wish it , is called " inalienable , " arid 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 Eoman Catholics of Italy .
Refuges for the . Homeless Poor . —At the meeting of the supporters of the Field-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 to wards the funds of the institution . He felt ho 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
not only have enough for the Field-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 coasidered 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 American 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 certainly not so expeditiously as Mr . Rarey . _ . _

EXCITEMENT IN HUNGARY . A lrttbh from Posth , dated Deo . 16 th , says : — " Groat demonstrations have boon made in honour of Kisfcvludy , the groat modern dramatic poot or Hungary . Ono of those demonstration s waa attendance on a solemn funeral maea in his honour at the Catholic Cathedral . After this mass , which tools nlaco vosterday , a groat number of persons wont to ? irLutho 7 a «/ proteStant Church to " fhitorntoo " with a boay of Protestants who had assembled to draw up one more protest against the *> "P » a * »*! tent of the 1 st September } but as the FrotMtanM had assembled not in the church , but in tlio
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 cpnfiision 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 ! ' ( Eljena kaza !' ) , andit 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 ital
impose the state of siege on thi 3 unfortunate cap . The Cologne Gazette states that the Austrian Government , having lately consecrated an expiatory chapel , which had been built by its orders on the spot where Georgey , 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 in their national costumes , assembled at the Church of £ > t . 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 , the Tyrol , and Galicia are just as dissatisfied as the countries of the Hungarian crown , though their complaints have ; hot-found their way into the public papers . The ministers bulieve that Prince Metterniuh ' 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 .

At the dinner aftor the proceedings , the Pnuce aaid : — " Gentlemen , —As I staud hero to-divy in the place of my most gracious father , I have first to -express , in his " dame , his deep regret that ho is provented from coming among you .

THE CONGRESS . General Dabormiua has officially communicated to . the Freuc ! i Government that Count Cavour and the Chevalier Desanibrois will be the representatives of Sardinia at the approaching Congress . —In an autograph letter of the Pope 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 coretousness . It is stated that , on the 28 th inst ., Cardinal Antonelli will embark on board a Pontifical corvette for Prance . Monsignore Bernard ! will be intrusted ad interim with the Ministerial functions of the Cardinal .

GARIBALDI . Giuseppb GAitiuALm has addressed an appeal to the women of Italy . This proclamation is written in dignified language , and 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 tho onrth would bow before the millions that could be spared from their savings . Such appeals at such a time show that Garibaldi has something in his head , and may yet provo himself to be the Washington of Italy . . . __ - baldi lettefrom
The resignation of Gari , says a r Milan , has by no means checked the subscriptions for arms . Not a day passes in which the General does not receive numbers of letters from Italy , as well as from abroad , announcing new subscriptions . Every one writes , and expects an answer . Iho result is that almost every 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 the least , in very questionable taste , and places the General in a false position , aa if he wished to obtrude his name on public attention—a proceeding irom which no man can be freer than Garibaldi .

THE LATEST IMPERIAL MANIFESTO . A pamphlet , entitled " The Pope and flie Congress , " has just been publishe ! at Paris , from the pen of M . De La Guerroniere , the author of the pamphlet " Napoleon III . et l'ltalie , " which heralded the late war . The misgovernment of 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 Home 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 tranquility 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 reigns the Vicar of Christ , there also reign wellbeing , concord , and peace . It is the task of the Congress to effect thi 3 transformation , become necessary to consolidate . the temporal authority of Rome . "

State of Vexioe . —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 robbed 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 not be touched by it ? Movement at Naixes . —Letters received trom Naples state that during the night between the 12 th and 13 th inst . numerous arrests , including several eminent persons , were made . Tho persons arrested are accused of having clandestinely printed journals , and of having supports a subscription in behalf of General Garibaldi , several documents concerning which have been seized .
