persecute anybody for his religious faith or opinions, so long as the^e

Father issued by the Spanish Government. Bat, what no doubt is
much more vexatious to the paternal heart of his Holiness, the Govern-
ment of Spain has dared to attempt also to limit, in some moderate
degree, the power of the Chutch to retain property. They might as
well have questioned the "Immaculate Conception." Accordingly the
Pope threatens to retain the sins of the Spaniards ; and, shaking what
he calls the keys of St. Peter at their heads, menaces them with ex-
communication. He has pursued the same course with Piedmont;

though many expect, that he will be in some little time, and Dr. Gum-

Of course he'd instantly turn up that great, long, ugly nose,
And that mustachio'd lip of his would curl with bitter sneer,

" Off, Russia's underhanded friend ! off lackey of the Czae !
Tnou in that place of Honour! Hence—but leavet by spurs and star :
Go, in a beer-pot plunge thy face—hide thy dimmish'd head—
Until to shame insensible they carry thee to bed ! "

The Min;sters in giving to Mr. Hayter a china cup, are belbved to

live to enjoy as whipper in, the luxury of whipped cream in the test-
imonial then presented to him.
