. ,, There has boon some discussion in the publicjournsls respecting the disin'psal from the Papal service of several volunteers. rishincn. for i‘npropi‘l‘ conduct. Tito Roman correspondent of the Weekly Re inter. a London Catholic paper. was the first toallu o to this unpleasant affair; and from its version it appeared that the provoking cause oi the action on the part of the Boycreign I‘ontifl' was a Fenian demonstration that it wlas attempted to ct up in Rome. 'I‘lic facts having reached the cars of fill) authorities, the proposed dciiion- attrition we) of course put a stop to. and tho men who

had taken the thief part therein were at once sc'it

hook to their own homes. ‘

This report we find confirmed in the Irish American, a Fenian organ of New York. by a letter dated Iloine. :ird nlt. According to this version. which, in its main features. agrees with that of the il'eckly Register. it ap- pears that :

“ The Irish in Rome were making preparations mi a

zgrand scale for a solemn High Mass and more for the acute ofAllnn and his companions. It was to have come off on the 28rdof11cceinbcr in the church of

. 8i. Andros Della Frutc."

Tho preparations were troll nigh completed when ti- dings having reached the l‘opo's curs, Monsignor 'l‘itl- bot. the Papal Chamberlain. immediately sent a warn.

.ing to the priest against allowing his watch to housed for the intended demonstration, as it was got up by sympatliisers with l-‘cnianism. licrcupon there was some excitement and monitoring. the result of which was the dismissal of the offenders front the service. and their return home. This little fact is conclusive as to the light in which Ft‘llllllllllll is regarded at the head- quarters of tho Catholic religion. and by the Sovereign

Citi::i.orrnrowx Duns-nun Cantu—On l’rlday cvc- ning lsot. tliuquestion, "Had the Nova Scotian I'isr- liument the power. constitutionally. without an appeal . to the people. to assent to Confodcrutioii. and are the ? peoplcjustitiod. under existing iircumstouccs. in racing ‘ for a repeal of the Union?" was opened by Mr. llobcrt Show. who was of the opinion that the Representatives of Nova Scotiu had the Constitutional power of assent- ing to Confederation without an a ipeal to the lt‘OplO. and cited the highest constitutional authorities in sup- port of that measure.

Some who took part in tlic discutsioii that followed. held the opposite opinion. and maintained that the re. prescnta'tit‘c acted inert-l ' as a trustee for his Constituents and a: such could not tcputo or assign that. trust to I others, and that not only had he no right to pass any measure whit-2i his sitccessors coiild not repeal. but that he must resign the trust committed into his hands unimpaired to those from whom be derived it. which arguments were also supported by numerous authori tics.

Asia the second part. of. the question. there were those who thought that although there may be no doubt as to the constitutional power. there are. cases (and the one under disciission is one.) in which the Representa- iiveltns no moral right to exercise such power. however constitutional. As many of the members hid not an opportunity ofcxprcssiiig their opinion on,tlic subject. on motion of .‘Ir. Laird. the ditcussiou was adjourn oil until . rida)‘ evening next.
