A meeting, the attendance at which is estimated at 13,000 persons, was held opposite St George's Hall to-day. Parnell fully endorsed the speeches for which tho recent arrests in Ireland were made. He strongly denoun ced the action ofthe government, which he predicted would utterly fail in its ob ject. The agitation against landlords, he said, would be continued. Resolutions moved by 1'arnell and carried with en thusiasm, nro to the effect that the arrests are arbitra-y, unconstitutional aim calcu lated to weaken the confidence of the people of Ireland in the impartiality of the law. and that the government wnicn squanders the blood and treasure of the people in unjust wars abroad, wuue mis ery and famine are unrelieved at home. stands condemned iu the eyes of all right minded ami thnm.html men.

The gathering in Hyde Bark to-day in response to a call for organized demonstration in favor of the Irish agitators, consisted of an im mense mob. A fair sprinkling of xreen favors was observable, but by far the greater number of persons present seemed to bo attracted more by curiosity than sympathy. A goodly number of bands of music enlivened tho march from 1 ratal- gar Square, and many banners were dis played, but not all of these belonged to the home rule associations. The proces sion wa swollen by the Tichborne re lease association, the democratic work- ingmen's club, and similar bodies, not in any manner connected with Ireland or Irish agitation. The orators of these out side associations addressed seperate groups, while the main meeting was in progress In the park. One ofthe princi pal speakers of Irish sympathy meeting proper was Wm. Archer Redmond, home rule member for Wexford. The speakers were surrounded by a dense throng which cheered so enthusiastically as to render the speeches utterly inaudible, except perhaps to those on the stand. Tho resolutions protesting against tho recent arrest of Irish agitators and de nouncing present proprietary in Ireland were carried by acclamation. The less noted speakers, particularity at side meetings, used most seditious language and their utterances seemed to create much amusement. The authorities had apparently taken no preparations what ever for order, as only three policemen were in the vicinity of the meeting. When darkness came the crowd dispersed and the delegations marched back to their respective headquarters with their bands playing Irish airs. Illamarrk and the Vatican Berlin Dec. 1. Bismarck will probably arrive Thursday. It seems that negotia tions between Bismarck and the Vatican have suddenly closed,, as Bismarck will not agreo to the restoration of German Bishops.

The Queen is reported as suffering from a severe bilious attack, and although the court physicians seem to attach but little importance to this illness, many persons are inclined to look upon her Majesty's sickness in a more serious light. The Queen is now 60 years of age and lias always enjoyed exception ally good health, but has a constitution liable to break down suddenly under forms ofillness to which she may now be conidered subject. Considerable solid- tudo is publicly expressed over the matter both for personal reasons and in view of the political effect which might attend her possible demise at the present time.

The parliamentary situation appears less strained. MM. Spuller, Brisson and Floquet de clare they would not accept portfolios in a new ministry. It is believed that whenBaudry Dasson lnti.rnftlltj' the coverument on Tuesday, the government will make declarations which will lead to a vole of confidence and end in a crisis by consolidating the ministry.

A Vote Demanded. Paris. Dec. 3. The papers announce that at vesterdav's cabinet council it wa resolved to Immediately demand a vote of confidence from the chamber of depu ties. TheF.ench CrUU. Lonpon, Dec. 3. A correspondent at Paris, discussing the statement of the Journal det Debate that the ministry can not possibly entertain the sshernu of the programme for their acceptance, says this is the only possible course open for the cabinet after the unexpected attitude as sumed by the majority. Nobody will be able to comprehend how the minority, so strong as that nf the present ihamber of deputies on wnica uic government, naa been leaning for ten mont hs, can declare that it will not support this very cabinet, except on the condition of framing the programme and imposing this on it, for every individual deputy has the right of submitting an army bill, and an interpel lation followed by the order of the day is a device only to enable'the majority to show the ministry the withdrawal of its confidence. In discussing the probable vote of confidence, winch will end the crisis by consolidating the ministry, the correspondent says : It seems beyond a doubt this vote will be given, because the left is not acting in common accord. A certain faction of the majority will resist the fame ofthe cabinet and will force the majority not to upset the ministry which Gauibetta does not wish to succeed, and whose onlv successor, apart from Gam betta could be Defreycinet, and this would only enable Gauibetta to wait his own time. Banian Reformi. Berlin. Dec. 3. A dispatch says the Czar will inform the nobility of Moscow, at his reception to-day of his determina tion to call a number of unofficial advisers to assist him in the government of the Empire. The council will be purely de liberative without any right of control or interference, and will be chosen partly by suffrages of the middle and peasant classes, and partly by direct nomination, by the Czar, from the ranks of hereditary nobility. Other measures of local reform will also be announced. These innovations have been strongly advocated by the Czarowitch. Socialism In German). 1 In the Prussian diet to-day, Count Von Entenburg, minister of the interior, in replying to the questions as to the reasons for the continuance of the minor state of siege, declared that the same state of things that was prevalent last year still existed. Secret social democratic agita tion, he said, had Increased and connects ions with foreign agitators were mains tained. The Pope's Infallibility. London, Dec 3. A dispatch from Paris savs that the Archbishop or Meachhn Belgium, in a recent pastoral, asserts that the Pope is not infallible, except when he judges what rests on the testimony of God and that of his revealed truth or his revealed law. This is intended to rebut the charge that the Belgian bishops are guilty of a schism or disobedience in dis regarding tho Popes admonitions, res specting the educational agitation. Tho bishop of Tourday, the most violent opponent of the liberal cabinet has been superceded by the administrator ap- pointed by the Pope. The bishop'p mind is believed to be unsound.

I address myself to parents and urge them to conduct their children in the paths of truth and righteousness, in order thut they may become, not miscreants, but useful men and good citizens." The Aaaaaaln'a Plana. Moscow, Dec. 3. A person who was in the baggage train at the time of the ex plosion, says that a baggage train of 14 carriages and two locomotives was dis patched half an hour before the train carrying the Emperor, but by u fortunate chance the czar's train overtook the hair. gage train, passed and left it some dis tance behind. The explosion attracted the police and a crowd of people, who were loud in their expressions of horror Telegraphic communication was inter rupted for a while, owing to the posts having been blown down by the explo sion I wo railway otlidials, who were in the immediate vicinity, were badly in jured. The perpetrators doubtless thought the czar was in the second train. The public prosecutor and magistrate soon arrived. A letter was found in the court yard of an empty house. Concealed under the snow a wire. connected with a battery in an outhouse, from which passing trains could easily be seen, was found. The house was bought in Se tombt r by A yonug n aa who wi s observed digging in his cellar by his neighbors but disarmed suspicion by de claring thnt his reason for doing it waB to obtain sand. From this cellar was dug a passage in which a train of powder Was laid connecting with a mine under the railway. More wires were found be hind the wall paper. It is supposed that several persons were engaged in the work. St. Peteiisuubg, Dec 3. The official account of the attempt to destroy the im perial train on Monday night states that the explosion occurred as the baggage train was entering the Kogosn quarter or Moscow. The train was thrown off the rails, aud one baggage van and two pas senger carriages thrown right across the line. The explosion caused a gap in the permanent roadway four feet and eight inches deep, 10 feet long and 18 feet broad. London, Dec 4. The attempt on the life of the czar created a great consterna tion and indignation in Lcndon, Paris, Berlin and Vienna. Emperor William sent a telegram to the -zar congratulating him that the attempt to take his life was frursrated. Hindoo Women. The Hindoo women, hen young, are delicate and beautiful, as far as we can roconcilo beauty with olive complexion, says the London 'imcx. Thev are finely proportioned: their features soft and regular, and their eves black and languishing; but the bloom of beauty soon decays, and age makes rapid progress before they have seen 30 years. This may be accounted for from the heat of the climate and the customs of tho country, as they are often mothers at 12 years of age. No women can be more attentive to cleanli ness than tho Hindoos; they tako every method to render their persons delicate, soft and attractive; their dress is peculiarly becoming, consisting of a i piece of silk or cotton, tied around the waist, and hanging in a graceful manner to the feet; it is afterward brought over the body in negligent folds; under this they cover the bosom with a short waist coat of satin, but wear no linen. Their long black hair is adorned with jewels and wreaths of flowers. Their ears are bored in many places, and loaded with pearls, a variety of gold chains, strings of pearls and precious stones fall from the neck over the bosom, and the arms are covered with bracelets from the wrist to the elbow. They have also gold and silver chains round their ankles and an abundance of rings on their fingers and toes; among those on the lingers is fre quently a small mirror. I think the richer the dress the less becoming it ap pears, and a Hindoo woman of dis tinction always seems to be overloaded with finery, while the village nymphs, with fewer ornaments, but in the same elegant drapery ,are more captivating al though there are very few women, even of the lowest families, who have not some jewels at their marriage, It is not a very pleasant thing to go through the world without sympathy, and to meet only those who have no interest in us, except to make us con tributors to their welfare and their sel fish ends. In marriage, as it should be. there is no selfishness. Each member works for the other's good; each con tributes to the other's welfare. In the outside world it i different; each seeks to nm the other for selfish rurDoses. and this makes life a contest, a battle. If such a state were to prevail in the home and married relation, then marnagr wnnl.1 an fur 1m an evil and not S good. Meetings exclusively for women are a peculiarity of the present .Moody anu Sanker revival at Cleveland, the two e van relist heinir the only men admitted. Many women converts, relieved of male eyes, give way to the most extravagant religious lervor. StThe extreme church papers in England object to a monument in Westminister Abb-y to Sir Rowland Hill, because his father was a member of Dr. Tricstley's congregation.
