C Ont1n M N T A L No T K S. Apart From T...
Kue de Rivoli . As we intimated last week , this measure appears to be dictated by the fears of the powers that be of the coming winter , and intended to provide employment for the Parisians . We must reiterate that the securities of the loan are the famous octroi , or tolls on wines and spirituous liquors levied et ihe barriers of Paris . Consequently , the poor will , in a great degree , provide the labour fund . King Preddick William of Prussia has been traversing the provinces , inaugurating railways and receiving municipal deputations . It is reported that ] all the latter were kindly noticed , except that of Stuttgard , which plajed so remarkable a part in ' 48 and ' 49 . After having inspected the troops now
an garrison m btuttgard , and the rifle companies of the civic guard , he was invited by the syndic of the town to partake of a breakfast , which the magistrate had prepared for him ; but the courteous monarch "by the grace of God" positively refused , telling the deputation " that he onl y came to muster his brave troops , ' out never would enter the town nor forgive the disloyal behaviour of the inhabitants during the year 1848 , that he well knew there were honest hearts in the town , and that these had been intimidated b y a set of scoundrels , but that loyal subjects ought not to be intimidated b y such . " The King I of revoked constitution repeated this term with
vehemence . The syndic replied that the inhabitants could justify themselves . "I wish you could , " returned the King . An adjutant put an end to this scene , which seemed deeply to move the monarch ' irascible temper , by requesting the deputation to withdraw . Having thus disposed of the Stuttgard rebels , the faithful monarch went to witness the eclipse at Kbnigsberg , which appears to have been a remarkably fine performance . It was total ; the stars shone ; the corona was seen for two minutes the thermometer fell three degrees ; birds and plants j performed nocturnal operations j dogs barked , and cocks crew before and after .
The German Diet gives some signs of life . In the Zeitung for North Germany , a brief abstract is given of a proposition , made jointly by Austria and Prussia to the Diet , for systematicall y remodelling the constitutions of all the German states , so as to bring them into harmorfy with the confederation . The proposition runs thus : — " The repeatedl y so-called fundamental rights of the £ o e nTr , £ r ' I ° ' Wd in the project of * const ! tu-97 ie . c , lheC T II nanicem I ) ireuildci " the dat ^ of Decrmber validS' "i M f , > 18 « . can neither be regarded £ lahdasa law of the empire , nor be considered as bindmg on the separate states as a part of the imperial law . These right * , therefore , are hereby declared to be abolished in all the confederate states
Ihose German states where , in particular , lams have been passed on Uie basis of these so-called fundamental i rights , are commanded to set aside these laus whenever Jhiy are m contradiction wiih the laws of the Conlegislatio "' ' ^ ° bJCCtS aImCd at b y thfc federal Meanwhile the Prussian Government , not admiring the press law in exigence , flunpiesses papers in violation of it . By the press law of the 12 th of May of tlie present year , no paper can be permanently sunpreyed till sentence has been passed upon any offence H may have committed b y a law tribunal , the- Government have , nevcitlufltwp , summaril y suppressed the 1 reves Zci / ung ( nobod y knows for what ) , without bunging against it any specific accusation , and without any process of law whatever 1

I but it must be admitted that the flogging of women bv j the Austrian Commander has ceased since the warning posted on the walls , and the death of the Com-I mandant of Lodi for disregarding it . Nothing , in fact , but the strong reprobation of this ever recurring Invisible Gox'ernrnent , which haunts us everywhere and all things here , prevents the extension of this mode of retribution into Sicilian vespers . This mysterious agency seems to have secured a subordination as wide as its extension . I am credibly informed that its levies in Romagna are regimented and officered , and I know that its revenues in the form of a national loan are regularly levied to meet its current expenses and provide a store of arms and ammunition for the day of insurrection . " i
These statements , we believe , may be received as generally accurate . And , now , what will Englishmen , who worship de facto authorities and popular government , conclude ? Will they still hold fast bv the English reactionary journals , and believe that the people of Italy are averse to independence , and that the National party are a mere faction ?

I Limerick Election. Lord Arundel And Su...
LIMERICK ELECTION . Lord Arundel and Surrey was returned for Limerick without opposition on Friday week . He was proposed by the Reverend Father Brahan , parish priest of St Mary ' s , and seconded by Mr . Monsell , M . P . Each Btated , as his reason for proposing Lord Arundel , that it was necessary to accept the challenge of the Mi-! n'stry and avenge the insult offered to the Catholic laith . In this hour of triumph for the Catholic clergy , an opponent came forward , a Catholic also , to put in a word for Young Ireland . The Reverend Father Kenyon had no sooner begun speaking , than he offended his audience by alluding to the noble j candidate as the " many-named Earl of Arundel and Surrey . " When silence was obtained through the interposition of another priest , Father Kenyon proceeded to object » heart and soul , " not to the
sentiments of the proposer and seconder per se , but to their introduction in an electioneering contest . It was not a place , he said , to profess religious sentiments and religious principles . "The very same course would induce the Turk to advocate his system—the same course would make the Fresbyterian , or the Church of England minister advocate his system . ( Renewed clamour , in the midst o f which the speaker sprang up on the desk and seemed determined to maintain his stand , while a tempest of groans , cries of put him down , ' ' throw him out , ' and other threatening exclamations raged around him . )
I Lord Arundel interfered . The Reverend Mr . Quade declared that he was ashamed of the men of Limerick . Father Kenyon took advantage of a lull in the [ tempest , but he had not said a dozen words before the row again began ; whereupon the Father called his audience " well-meaning but besotted fanatics" and then the uproar rose hi ghland higher—the mob making menacing gestures at the speaker . Two other mediators intervened ; and the Father got launched j again . He be ^ an several times asking--Who is this Lord Arundel ? but he had not made much way before I the tumult recommenced . Amid great interruption he perorated as follows : —
' Oh ! that vile bigotry , talking to you as Catholics in Una question , when the true quesiion is that of [ iishin < n aRaiiist Jin lishmen .

Minority Church Rates A Local Committee ...
MINORITY CHURCH RATES A Local Committee at-Brighton have issued the following appeal to the public , on " the Brighton Minority Church Hate , and the new judge-mldo ecclesiastical law . " J 8 ae "By the decision of Sir Herbert Jenner Fust mdse of the Court of Arches , siren on the 17 th ultimo , the libel in the cause of 'Cordy and others v . Benrley ' has been admitted to proof . This decision is of national importance , and involves questions of gre it moment . " In the Braintree case , it was decided by a majority of the judges , that where a rate was refused , it miAt be made by a minority of the vestry , provided that the articles for which it were made be necessary for the of
support the fabric , and for the decent celebration of hVr Worshi P- ' Th-at decision has been taken up to the House of Lords , and a strong opinion is entertained by sound lawyers that it will be reversed . I " The judgment in the Brighton case goes infinitely further . In effect it declares , that a minority ( however small ) may make a church rate to defray any charge for ornaments or luxuries which the whim or caprice of the Romanist party in the Church of England shall suggest . Such a decision will not passively be submitted to and as it is obvious that this must lead to protracted and ' expensive litigation , the Brighton Committee , having themselves largely contributed to this fund , now confidently appeal for pecuniary support to all those persons throughout the kingdom who are opposed to any further encroachment , by means of * Jud ^ e-made Ecclesiastical 1-iaw , on the constitutional principle of government by majorities . J
Subscriptions are , therefore , urgently solicited , and mil be received , in London , at the Roval British Bank , ^ OKfnnouse yard ; and by Charles Gilpin . bookseller , 5 , Bishopsgate street Without ; and , in Brighton , by Messrs . I . G . Bass and Co ., Treasurers . " John Nelson Govlty , \ " Isaac Bass L , „ " William Coxingham , ( Sub-Committee . " " AaTiiuit H . Cox , Hon . Sec . ) The cause alluded to in the first paragraph , was one for what is technically called « ' subtraction of church r ^ . tes . "
j Ihe facts of the case are those : —In December , i " ^ . a vestry was called together in the church of I bt . Nicholas , Brighton , for the purpose of levying a church rate , to provide for repairs alleged to be needful in St . Nicholas ' s , and St . Peter ' s , the chapel of ease . A rate of one penny in the pound was demanded , and refused by the large majority of 90 to 47 But the Vicar , who presided , declared that the votes of the majority were "illegal , " and " thrown away " and tint tho motion was carried . Consequentl y the rate was enforced and collected , " Mr . Benth v anrl " "< i * enrorcea a rut collected , "Mr . Benthand
y I others" refusing to p :, y the same . Tho cauoe < -anio before tho Arches Court , and Sir Herbert Jeimer Fust give judgment to the cflvct that tho vestry had been duly callnJ , that the rate demanded was ior " recurs , " that the keeping of thc parish church . m rep in- was " a common law obligation , " and could not Ik ; discussed much 1 . ss refused , and that therelore the rate was legally carried on the 9 th of December , by the minor , t y . It is onl y necessary to add that a Jar » c ; part of ihe money demanded Avas intended to bo spent in "ornaments , " which are considered lor the ¦ ioi mi
necessary "due and decent nmf ,, fm , nnn „< ™« Sa . y - uiio and cleeont performance of Divine worship ; and that among these ornaments '' lir' illS ~" l ) Oll S" " 1 > eW ul ^ . " and
