FOREIGN INCIDENTS .
A New Religion.— A Paris Letter Says Tha...
A New Religion . — A Paris letter says that a great gathering of the members of the New Religion 1 ms been assembling in Paris , in order to take into consideration the measures to be adopted on the opening of the new church , belonging to the persecuted members of that worship . This church is to be opened on the 4 th of next month in London , and many of the adherents of Pierre Michel Vintras , the prophet and preacher of the sect , have already taken Sbeir departure to be present at the ceremony . It ¦ will be the first public bulding allotted to this worship , and its inauguration has re-echoed across the JStraits . Pierre Michel is a prophet of the first -water , and his prophecies proved so unpalatable , to the and to whom they announced such direful intelligence of the future , that the threat to punish the
prophet with imprisonment unless he punished himself with exile , was considered perfectly just and equit-Able . Pierre Michel Vintras therefore went direct to London , where lie has maintained himself ever since , in the midst of a little knot of devoted followers , which , increased in numbers from time to 4 Sme by visitors from Prance , consists of about a score of men of every age , rank , and profession , ¦ every one filled with devotion to the cause , and bent upon spreading its fame and exalting its glory . * £ he little community has now and then given great ¦ uneasiness to the high powers of the Tuileries , from theTinpleasant feeling created by the late fulfilment » f certain prophecies with regard to the Emperor . This success has increased the popularity of the . doctrine of Pierre Michel Vintras to such an extent
that the opening of the church has been resolved ztpon , and many of the younger brethren of the sect xae about to set out for London , to listen to the prophecies with which Pierre Michel is to announce tite new phase in the destinies of his country . "Victor Emmanuel and the Hungabian ¦ Cause . — -The J & iritto of Turin relates the following occurrence : — " On Sunday last , when the royal train arrived at the station of Alessandria , another train with 800 Hungarians , who bad formed part of the levy effected in Piedmont during the war ,
• was about to start for Genoa . The Hungarians , on gperceiving the royal train , greeted it with an interminable 'Eljen ! ' which means ' Long live the King !' Bis Majesty , touched with this cordial manifestation , sent for General Klapka , who accompanied the Hungarians , and requested him . to thank them in his name . He further expressed sympathy for the Hungarian cause , and encouraged him . to hope : a jn 3 t and noble cause could not fail to triumph in the end . The words , being repeated by General Klapka to his countrymen , produced an immense sensation . "
The QzzBen and the Kapotrs . —The following is a translation of an address from her Majesty ' s loyal subjects at Fingoe on the recall of Sir George 45 xej : — »• To the Great Queen Victoria . Oh ! our jgreat Queen , graciously look upon us . We , thy subjects , Jingoes , residing at Graham ' s Town , desire to approach thy feet , and pray before thee . For a long time we have sat under thy government , loving thy authority and customs . la thy kindness thou didst send Sir George Grey , that he might administer rule over us . We saw , when he arrived , that he was just such a ohief as we black people needed . He manifested his love towards us in many things . He helped us in all things . Ho gave us jground to live upon , that we might no longer be as wanderers and strangers without location . Ho built ns great schools that our children might enter them , and learn nicely like the ohildren of English people .
We rejoiced for all these things . We said , we are a Iriesged people under our Queen Victoria s we are like children who have a father in all things to . preserve , feed , and help them . But to-day wo are smitten with sorrow by hearing very heavy tidings , Tiz ., that thou , our great Queen , hast called home our bhief , Sir George Grey . To-day our hearts -weep— -they are dead because of this . We say , — lias our Queen forsakon us or not ? Having deprived w » of our father , we are now orphans indeed . No , mm Great Queen , don't throw us away J but hear or prayer , nnd send back our chief that ho may gain come and ljivo with us , and , comfort us by "taking away our orying . And may the Lord of . Heaven look upon thee , and bless theo with all the JweBBings of this earth , and when thou leavcst this woxla , may Ho give theo a throne in Heavon . "
