and sparfded in the air , producing never-ending , quaint resemblances . " The whole scene is , indeed , almost literally described in Pope ' s charming , b&t riot very successful , ¦ imitation of Cowley : — " Here lilies smile in virgin robes of white , In thin undress of superficial light , And varied tulips show so dazzling gay , Blushing in bright diversities of 1 day : Here aged trees cathedral walks compose , And mount the hill in venerable rows : There in bright drops the crystal fountains play , By laurels shaded from the piercing day , Where summer ' s beauty ' midst of winter stays , And winter ' s coolness spite of summer ' s rays . "
On Monday , a concert was given at the Palace , at which Madlle . Alboni was to have sung , but was prevented by illness . The performers , however , included Mesdames Jenny Baur , Amedei , and Fiorentini ; Messrs . Formes , Lorenzo , Charles Halle , Ernst , Bottesini , and Salvi .

THE LORD-LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND UPON TENANT-RIGHT . A deputation from the corporation of Dublin waited on the Lord-Lieutenant last Friday to endeavour to elicit his Excellency ' s opinion upon the subject of tenant-right . In the address -which was read , the deputation thus set forth their ideas with respect to the desired reform : — " "We ask , in the name of the tenantry of Ireland , no legislation that will fail to secure to the owner of the soil all his just and legitimate rights . What we do ask is a
legal guarantee that the industrious occupier of the soil , who may have improved his holding , shall have that full protection for , and perfect enjoyment of , the fruits of his own labour and capital , which constitute the basis on which the security of property in these kingdoms rests ; and we would urge upon your Excellency that this legal protection for the property of the occupier is no less essential for the due encouragement and promotion of agricultural enterprise in this kingdom than it is for the peace of the country and the contentment and prosperity of all classes of Her Majesty ' s subjects . "
To this , the Lord Lieutenaut read the following reply : — " My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen , —I must always feel indebted to the Lord Mayor , aldermen , and burgesses of Dublin for imparting to me their views upon any topic of adequate contemporary importance . Such a character necessarily attaches to any attempt to regulate or improve the relations between the owners and cultivators of the soil . I shall not fail to transmit for the
consideration and encouragement of Her Majesty s Government the views which you have now expressed . I find with pleasure that they have manifested their sense of the benefit to be expected from an early settlement of the question , by their having taken charge of the bill already introduced into Parliament ; and I cordially concur in the hope that it may be so framed and acted upon as to secure to the owners of land their legitimate right , and to the occupiers the fair enjoyment of the fruit of their industry . "
Upon the Lord Mayor expressing a hope that Dr . Gray , the mover of the address , would be satisfied ¦ with his Excellency ' s reply , Dr . Gray said that he ¦ w as satisfied so far as the assurances of the Lord-Lieutenant were concerned , but that he was apprehensive that the amendments suggested by Mr . Horsman might be adopted by Government and carried—a result which would not be in accordance with his Excellency ' s observations . He suggested that perhaps the Lord-Lieutenant would make to the Government certain representations founded on his experience of the country , and on the fact of the commercial deputation which he had that day received . The clauses proposed by Mr . Horsman ¦ would have the effect of confiscating the property of the tenant . The Lord-Lieutenant declined to enter into details , but he trusted that the general principles to which he had referred would be carried out to the satisfaction of all parties . After some further discourse the deputation retired .

THE CARLIST INSURRECTION IN SPAIN . The Spanish correspondent of the Times , under date of May 28 , gives the following particulars of the Carlist rising : — " It is said that the Carlists have got possession of Alcaniz , a fortified place in Eastern Aragon , hard by the river Guadaloupe . Letters from Vittoria announce , on the strength of a telegraphic despatch from Saragossa , the capture , in the mountains of Soria , of a sum of money -which was being conveyed to the Carlists . A battalion of light infantry has marched hence to-day ( May 28 ) to Aragon . There are strong expectations
of risings in the Maeztrazgo . The insurrection is evidently spreading . In the Basque Provinces , the Foral deputation insists on that district being exempted from the desamortizacion , and holds rather threatening language to the Government in case of refusal . In Navarre , a meeting was to have been held -for the same purpose , but the civil authorities prevented it . Tho Caspc faction has published a proclamation , ordering all former Carlist soldiers to take up arms , under pain of death . A number of Liberals had fled from tho town , unable to resist , because the National Guard of that place is not yet armed . " 3 t must be recollected that tho date of the
above letter is earlier than those of the telegraphic despatches which we published last week . The Madrid Gazette of tho 28 th , contains a circular addressed by the Government to tho bishops and clergy , ordering the former immediately to suspend all ecclesiastics who have figured or who now figure in the Carlist camp . Twentyfour persons were arrested on the 29 th at Madrid for participation in tho Carlist plot . The Gazette of the 27 th ult . contains a proclamation from the Alcadc of Madrid , exhorting tho inhabitants not to bo miHled by the enemies of public repose . The Gazette also says that tho military authorities of Aragon wore in pursuit of tho Curlist band in that province ; that twelve of tho soldiers and a non-commissioned officer
who had revolted at Saragosaa hud made their submission ; and that a Carliat chief named Rollo had been killed near the Kbro , in Lower Aragon . Tho movement , which has everywhere tho support of the elorgy , is , it is said , headed by tho threo brothers Joaquim , Mariano , and Manuel Marco , whoso rich and powerful futility have been long lenown for thoir Carlist ncntimontn . Joaquim and Manuel had served in tho army of General Cabrera . Tho Sonorcs Marco arc tho nephews of tho lato Cardinal Marco , Auditor da la Rota , and Governor of Homo . Thoir
band has boon defeated ; and a telegraphic ; dospatch of tho Hint ult . states that twenty-five of tho robolH huvo been seized at Dioronso , and twenty-flvo othora liavo mado thoir submission ut Caspo . Yet Spain appears to bo far from tranquillised ; for wo road of a conspiracy having lx ; on discovered on tho frontior of Catalonia , which has boon declared in a state of siogo .

Orders have been setlt to the chiefe of columns in Aragon ( from which province it is said the insurgents are disappearing ) to shoot at once all the sergeants , and to decimate the private soldiers , who have deserted to the Carlists . The Dnke de Montpensier has repeatedly ofrered to take up arms against the rebels ; but the Government do not think the contest is siifficiently serious to induce them to accept his offer . They have deemed it necessary , however , to suspend the constitutional guarantees .

CONTINENTAL NOTES . Religious Persecution ts Austria . —John Evangelist Borzinsky , lately a brother of the Order of the Monks of Mercy , and belonging to a convent of that Order at Prague , is now , according to a letter in a German paper , imprisoned as a madman for having become a Lutheran Protestant . One of the concessions wrung from Imperial tyranny in 18-18 , was the permission given to members of the Romish Church to embrace the Protestant faith if they saw fit ; but it appears that this amelioration of the former law is scandalously evaded , or rather defied , by the priests . The case of Borzinsky is an illustration . Having been told that the priests are
in the habit of seizing and imprisoning any one whom they find to have apostatized , he went to Prussia , believing with some simplicity that the " crime" would be overlooked if committed out of the Austrian dominions . There he was received into the Lutheran Church ; and shortly afterwards returned to his own country . But one night he was arrested by military ami police agents , taken back to the convent , threatened , punished , and finally imprisoned with the insane in a dungeon adjoining the ^ convent receptacle for filth . M . Von Bethmann Holweg , the celebrated Prussian statesman , has laid these facts before the Protestant Alliance , and has promised to do all in his power to rescue Borzinsky from
captivity . A circular , addressed by Count Buol to the representatives of Austria at the different German courts , and dated May 17 , has been published . It is an answer to that despatch of Count Nesselrode to M . tie ( ilinka , which intimates the Czar ' s intention of abiding by the first Two Points . Count Buol , having stated that the Diet determined upon receiving the Russian circular as a simple communication to each of its members privately , in consequence of which the matter has not led to any deliberation in the Diet , proceeds to express the satisfaction felt by Austria at the resolution of the Court of St , Petersburg . The circular thus concludes : — . " four bases laid down for the negotiations of peace
constitute an indivisible tvhole in the eyes qj the powers that take part in them ; the Germanic Confederation have acknowledged them as being collectively of a nature to secure peace and the rights of Europe ; and it is only at the termination of the crises which the negotiations , opened with a view to conclude peace , are now , to our regret , undergoing , that Austria will he enabled to declare openly and completely to her confederates what , in her opinion , the interests of Europe and Germany may call for . We entertain the hope that the proposal of the Court of Russia has only served to confirm the
members of the Germanic Confederation in their conlidence in our policy . But for that very reason , we think we may rely upon their being averse to framing , upon the declarations of Russia , any resolutions or propositions , the consequences of which might bo detrimental to Austria , or might at least tend to increase the nuniorous difficulties which we have to encounter in our mission , at tho decisive point at which matters now stand . In addition to the above , there has been published another despatch from Count Buol , which contains an assertion that Russia seeks to provoke a schism between tho German Governments . This document is also dated
May 17 , and addressed to the sanio oflicial personages as the former . A letter from Berlin , published in tho Times , contains tho following . summary of an Austrian circular dated tho 25 th ult : — " Although in this circular Austria promises to remain faithful to her engagements , to maintain tho Four Points , to preserve an armed attitude until tho moment when negotiations nwiy »» c rc-HUined , and to mako her last propositions , if accepted at Paris and London , tho object of an ¦ ulthiiatiiin to hussm , —although this and other similar declarations an ; "">" in thin document , which will probably be the flosmg act of the Vienna negotiations , at lount provisionally , it is equally cortuin that it betrays the intention of Austria , HhouUl her propositions bo rejected , to assume an ' >>• - pedant lino of policy .
