From files to band by tbe Taranaki we extract the following items : Paris, March 22. General Cabrera has issued another manifesto explaining his recent declaration in favor of Alfonso. He says he wishes for peace. Don Carlos has learned nothing, and refuses to follow his advice, which is to gain the esteem of his country by peaceful means. Cabrera says he was hot against war while the country was plunged in anarchy ; but now that a prince has been crowned who boasts that the designation Mo9t Catholic is his proudest title, Spaniards will incur grave responsibility if they continue to promote internal discord. Venice, March 22. The statue of Manin, the hero of Venice, was unveiled to-day with imposing ceremonies and great enthusiasm. The day was observed as a holiday, the city richly decorated, and to night there is a general illumination. London, March 22. The ship City of Amoy, which sailed from Glasgow, March 19th, for San Francisco, has grounded in the Clyde. Kingston, Jamaica, March 22. Disturbances are reported at Morant Bay, caused by coolie labourers. Men of war of the guard ship and a detachment of marines left Port .tfoyal at miduight for the scene. London, March 28. It is reported from Estella that deputies from four provinces occupied by the Carlists have met to consider the request of Don Carlos for contributions, and have replied that the country is exhausted ; that Don Carlos ought to procure funds abroad—and this position they have obstinately maintained, notwithstanding Don Carlos threatened to retire from Spain. Despatches from Madrid report that Carlos has has ordered all persons found reading Cabrera's manifesto to be shot. There have been additional instances of fraternisation of Carlist and Government troops on the banks of the Orio. In one of the Carlist camps placards headed "Viva Pace, the Puros and General Cabrera," have been posted. The Government announces that six Carlist generals, with three colonels and many other officers, have entered France and declared their adhesion to Alfonzo. A telegram from Santander asserts, on the other hand, that the hope of settling the war by a couvention is fast dying out. General Lomas is expected there to meet the threatened invasion of the province. Don Carlos, with sixteen battalions and artillery, is marching on Bamales, twenty-five miles from Santander. There is a prospect of another quarrel between British Columbia and Canada. The dominion promised when the Pacific province entered the dominion, to advance 250,000d0l to build a dry dock at Bsquimalt; and the people of Victoria supposed this money was to be paid out of the Canadian Treasury, as one of the considerations of the annexation. Now, the Victorian, advocate of submission to the dominion under all circu ■ stances, says that the advance is to be a loan and not a gift. This statement coming from a journal supposed to be to a certain extent an organ of the dominion Cabinet, has caused not a little feeling at Victoria. It puts the Cabinet of British Columbia in an awkward position for having accepted terms capable of misconstruction,
and offends the people, who did not suppose they were merely negotiating a loan. Canada has very little interest in having a dry dock at Esquimalt, and the opinion is general at Ontario that the promises made to the British Columbians to induce them to come into the dominion were far larger than the value of the territory acquired. The Remi-official Provincial Correspondence publishes au article in which the recent Papal encyclical letter is described as appealing to and encouraging revolutionary passions. It says—" The action taken by the Pope himself practically confirms the saying of Mgr Meglia that the Catholic Church must look to the revolution for support. The light which the Pope has thrown upon the relations between the Church and the Prussian Government indicates the path which the Government must further enter upon in its conflict with revolutionary pretensions. The Catholic Church in Prussia must clearly learn who is the sovereign in this country." The question formerly raised by Prince Bismarck respecting the position of European Governments with regard to the next Papal election is now attended with increased significance. • Salt Lake, February 25. The decision of Judge McKean on amotion for alimony and costs of suit in the divorce case between Ann Eliza Young and Brigham Young was rendered in the Third District Court this evening. The argument is elaborate, and the legal points involved are carefully stated. The divorce is asked by the plaintiff on the grounds of neglect and gross ill-treatment by the defendant. Brigham Young replies that the two parties are not intermarried, because- the plaintiff had a husband from whom she had not been divorced and is Btill living, which fact he was not acquainted with at the time of his marriage, April 6th, 1868; and that defendant also had a wife living, to whom he was legally married in Kirtland, Ohio, January 10th, 1834. These allegations in defendant's reply are called argumentative, and must be determined on trial. Pending the suit it lies within the province of the Court to award alimony for the sustenance of plaintiff and her two children, and money to prosecute the suit. The following is the award as given in the decision : —"lt seems just that the defendant should pay to the plaintiff, to pay the expenses of prosecuting this action, the sum of SOOOdol, and that he should pay to her for her maintenance, and for the maintenance and education of her children, the further sum of 500dol per month, to commence from the day of the filing of the complaint herein. It is ordered accordingly." The Court-room was densely packed.
