This 1m~ portant question was submitted to Parlia- ment to take precedence over all others. The entire left will endeavor to destroy the Pope, the sacred college and whole body episcopal.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.â€"â€"The Herald’s lion- don special suys :â€" "A despatch from Madrid states that from all points there is a determined oppo‘ sition to the Duke of Aosta as King, and there is every indication that the reign of the Duke will be short. The supporters of the Prince acknowledge that they have great fears for his safety, and express a belief that should he venture to tread on Spanish soil he will never reach Madrid alive. It is reported publicly that there is a. sworn league to shoot him. At Malaga in a street procession, an effigy was proceeded with. In deepatches, manifestations are taking place against any foreign prince- There is a great split in the army. Seve- ral naval officers are imprisoned for dis. obeying orders. The general feeling is that there will be a. civil war and it is clear that serious trouble is expected. Despite all the threatenings the royal palaces are being pre- pared for the reception of the King. NEW YORK, Dec.‘ 20.-â€"â€"A rumor was current at Rio that there had been a naval engagement off the coast of Brazil. between a. Prussian frigate and two French gun- boats; that the fight lasted several hours,- and that the Prussian sunk the Frenchmen. The names of the yessels engaged were not known, nor was the loss of life stated. LONDON, Dec. 21.â€"-The news this morn- ing from the German army of the North is important. General Manteuffel is again marching on Havre, and with a. much larger force than before. The French report that they have taken measures to resist. An engagement is reported to have already occurred at Bollbee, only seventeen miles from Havre, in which the French were vic~ torious. and the. Prussian advance checked. The Prussiaus have bombarded Merle, a small tOWn in the department: of Aisne. ‘ . A London dcspatch says there is no later important war news from Paris. The reports of yesterday’s-mob riots in Paris lack confirmation, and, according to the latest accounts, the tone of public sentiment ‘in that city continues hopeful, not unmixed with heroic defiance. Notwithstanding the fact that famine is almost at hand, the citizens and soldiers are cheerful and con- fident. Rumors of French victories in the field have an elfch almost as sustaining as food, and the unanimity among all classes in their support of Trochu is almost won- derful. ' On the capitulation of Thionville 50,000 French troops were paroled. The majority of the besieged were much enraged because of the surrender, and some of the troops threatened to explode the magazine, but they were dissuaded from their purpose upon the appearance of the women and Grildren, who, on their knees, besought submission. During the action 50,000 shells were thrown into the city, involvingr a damage to the extent of over $5:000,000. EXTRAORDINARY DISASTER.â€"Oue of thel most; extraordinary occurrences ever an-nounced has just been reported as having taken place in the South Pacific Ocean. Capt. Flock, of the barque Aeolphe, bound from Iquique to London, states that while passing the New Hebrides Islands he discovi ered that the Aurora Island had entirely dis- appeared, and'nothing whatever was to be seen of it on the face of the ocean. With the exception of eight or nine of the is- lands, Aurora is one of the largest and most fertile. It lies in lat. 152 8-, long. 168 25 E., and was about thirty-six miles in length, and upwards of five miles in breadth. It has been always known that two of the is- lands, Ambrym and Tannah contained v_oI. canoes, but all the other islands were gene- rally supposed to have little or no tendency How necessary that the nervous apparatus should be perfect and the brain vigorous; wheyeither becomes exhausted through overwork or other imprudent disease in some organ is always developed. The remedy lies in removing the cause. By using Fellows’ Compound Syrup of Hypo- phesphites the tone and vigour is soon restored to the brain and the whole nervous system. while diseases of the implicated organs disappear. THE Italian Parliament was opened at Florence on Deccmber' 5th, by King Victor Emanuel. to volcanic action.

PERSONALâ€"Iii is with regret that we record the severance of Alfred M. Lafi'er- ty, M.A., from our Grammar School, and his immediate departure from our community. Mr. Laiferty has ably and successfully discharged the duties of Head Master in the 4 Richmond Hill County Grammar School, during the past 1 five years. , A wider sphere of labor, to which is attached a revenue much more commensurate with the responsibilities of the position than it was in the power of our Board to give, having been placed at his disposal by the Grammar School Board of Lindsay, in the County of Peterboro’, Mr. Li felt it his duty to voluntarily place his resignation in the hands of the Board in this place. Of his qualifications and success, the records of his school, comparing its past with its present condition, and the status of his‘ pupfls in the Toroiito University and in the busy world of commerce, are the best evidences: In addition to thorough and p minute painstaking, Mr. Lafi'erty is as un- ' exceptionable in philology as he is in ling- : uism. His literary sensibilities are accur- ' ate and acute almost to a fault. Diligentia . vincetomnia seems to have become the motto of his professional life; and it is small marvel that he should succeed in inspiring with similar sentiment the young men entrusted to his tutorial care. While we regret the necessities that sever ’ the tie by which Mr. Lafl‘erty had be- ' come so esteemed and useful a member _ of our community, we rejoice in his pro- . motion, and we heartily Wish him “_God Speed” and a lengthened life of prosperity and success. ______._~.._â€"-_â€"’~â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" Wm.

MARKHAM NOMINATION. RICHMOND HILL, Dec. 23, 1870. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. THE YORK HERALD, RICHMOND HILL, ONT, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1870. On Wednesday last, the Richmond Lodge of Free Masons, in this town, dedicated their new Hall. Representa- tives onthe Grand Lodge, as well as a large number of visiting members, were present. In the evening the ofiieers and members of the Order, with a goodly number of non-members, including a large number of ladies, sad down to a sump- tuous dinner, prepared by Mr. Robert Raymond. After dinner, several toasts were proposed with honors and responded to by the gentlemen whose names were coupled with them. The whole of the arrangements were very creditable to the members of the Lodge, and we hope that their desires have been more than real~ ized, as far as pecuniary considerations are concerned, and that much has been netted toward . the liquidation of the debt. One very excellent feature in the festivity was the absence from the table of all intoxicating drinks. Great praise is due to the members of the Lodge, for the stand they have taken in this respect, proving that there is a possibility of an evening being spent pleasantly, sociably and profitably, Without their questionable assistance. The annual meeting of the freeholders 0f the township of Vaughan was held at the Town Hall, on Monday last, the 19th inst., at the usual hour, twelve o’clock. There was a large attendance of the in- habitants of the township present. The Clerk, Mr. Lawrence, opened the pro- ceedings by requesting those present to nominate their dilferent candidates for Reeve, Deputy Reeves, and Councillors, for the ensuing year. Mr. Patterson, the present Reeve, was re-elected by acelamation. For Deputy Reeve's, the following nominations were made:â€" ‘Messrs. David Boyle, R. J. Arnold, ‘Thompson Porter, and A. Cameron. ‘For Councillorsâ€"«Messrs. C. McLean,T. Webster, Di Raeman, and S. Blain.

VAUGHAN NOMINATION. THE DEDICATION. AUCTION SALE. To the Editor of the York Herald. Sir,â€"The nomination, for our Town: ship, took place at Unionville, on Monday last, simultaneously, with the expected bombardment ‘of Paris, which, it it had happened, would have been two mo- mentous events to be recorded on the pages of history, for the use and specu- lation of our.future generation. As a matter of I course, our present noble Reeve was re-nominated for that office, and to be opposed by James Speight, of Markham Village. Mr. Robinson was nominated by Daniel Stricklcr, pump maker, whose pumps have remarkable power of suction, seconded by Dr.Ree.5or, of the Village of Boxgrove, formerly called by the classical name of Sparta. Considerable surprise was manifested at the absence of the Hon. D. Reesor, who, on all previous occasions, was the right hand man of Mr. Robinsonâ€"nobody could tell where he had gone toâ€"unless, judging by an article in the last Economist (the drift of which I am not able, at present, to understand,) he has gone “ Where the woodbine twineth.” Now, where does the “ Woodbine twincth” I would like to know? I have been think- ing of several places. There is a W ood- bine saloon in Toronto; but it certainly- cannot be there, as Mr. R. is a temper- ance man, and drinks nothing but cigars. However, I am determined to find out, if it takes me till the Toronto and Nipis- sing Railroad is open for passenger traflic, and if it cannot be done by that time I’ll leaye it as a legacy to future generation. Where, oh, where does the “ ‘Voodbine twineth ;” where, oh, where gentle shepherd, tell me where? But let us return to the nomination. Dr. Cancer, in seconding the nomination of the present Reeve, said, “ He had known him for a great many years, and thought a great deal of him,'although some of his friends (the Dr.’s) had something against him, about a certain Hay Sling; but, for his part, he knew it to be a good thing, and that to show its utility,we had only to look to Paris beleaguered by the 'Prussians, how many times that city Came near capitulation, on account of the scarcity of provisions; it was then that Mr. Shupe, the friend of Mr. Robinson, took a cargo of Hay Slings over to France, and commenced slinging in cattle, hogs, horses, calves and sheep, and flour, ‘nnd now, by“ this time, they have enough to last three months.” The speaker then sat down, amid tremendous applause and deafening cheers. The _..,.__ feeling was manifested in such‘a manner a m hi wi hi 2W5 11- at tc or r( (:1 l] m as to completely set aside any antipathy to the Hay Sling. Mr. Robinson, on rising to speak, was received with cheers, and prolonged cheers, and when silence was made, said, “ He' had been their Reeve for the last three years, and last winter made a vow that he would be, seventeen years more, and he felt certain, _ from present indications, his hopes were sure to be realized. As regards the Hay Slings, he fully endorsed what fell from his seconder, (to prove it, he here read a letter from his friend, Shupe, who is now in France), "and if those parties, who think they have been victimized, by loos- ing $300 a-piece, were to take a cargo of Hay Slings over to France, as there are several cities where provisions are scarce, and by these means the cussed Prussians will be compelled to raise the siege and go to their own country, and still retain the present balance of power in Europe; that by these means they would confer a boon upon mankind, their noble conduct would be emblazoned in letters of gold on the escuteheon of the annals in the World’s history. And, although he had the Hay Sling Companies, and cost him nothing,except lending his name for effect, he was determined to send a cargo himself, 'if they did not,” After this brilliant, feeling and oratorical effort, he sat down, quite exhausted,amid deafening applause, and the cheers were taken up outside the hall and echoed and re-echoed, till the whole country resoundcd of his fame. The Speight men could not tell what was up; some thought it was the effect of the great earthquake, predicted for the 22nd instant, and» that it had come before its time, like a. premature birth ; some thought the siege of Paris had been raised, and it had such an effect upon the atmo- sphere as to almost completely upset the solar system. The scene was almost indescribably grand. Had I time, I would give you a sketch of all the speeches - of the other candidatesâ€"of Messrs. Speight, Button, Lane, Break, -Eakin, Reesor (not the hero of the Sand Bank), Milliken, Padget, Lundy, and last, but not least, Mr. Horncr, whose speech was the most humorous of them allâ€"often interrupted by uproarious fits of laughter. With one exception, an- other candidate made a. hit, a capital hit, on Mr. Lane, in reference to the vote to give the County of Peel its just dues, or, already made considerable money out of @nrrefipunhmrt. rather, to prevent a law-suit, which is, at! any time, rather an expensive luxury. Mr. B. said, concerning the vote, “that very probably Mr. Lane had voted against ‘ his conscience and he deeply sympathized with him, as he had often voted that way himself. For laughter, Mr. Button had to sit downâ€"and down he sat. Mr. Lane replied in his peculiar and happy manner, which caused some more fun. But, as I said before, the speeches of Messrs. Robinson and Cancer occupied so much time that the balance of the candidates were only allowed three min- utes a-picce. The meeting then adjourned ,till Monday, 2nd January, 1871. Now, Mr. Editor, my feeble brain has been sorely taxed to bring forth this humble report of the nominations, and I must be allowed to recuperate till next week, when you will hear from me again, and then look out for scissors. Yours, forever, Sm,â€"The sixlh anniversary exercises of the Patterson Sabbath School will take place at Patterson, on Christmas. Eve, at seven o’clock.

His expulsion of the Jesuit, Fathers from Dole, appears to have been unjustifiable. How little intention the Germans have of relaxing their hold on Alsace, is shown by the fact that they have recently occupied the cantons of Saales and Schrmeck. A railway collision occurred on the 5th December, at Brockey Junction, near Lon- don, England, in which a passenger car, filled with people, was crushed. Five per- sons were killed outright, and many were fatally injured.

Mr. M‘Corkindale and Dr. Beane, of Baltimore, and three others of the party who recently perished on the Alps, have been recovered. The bodies proved too brittle to be undressed, andtwere interred in the same clothing m which they made the ascent. Dr. Beane was found in a. sitting posture, his forehead resting on his hands. He was somewhat protected by an unfallen projection of snow. Mr. M‘Cork- indale, sitting 'also, alpenstock in hand, passed into his frozen sleep with the calm lines of quiet peacefulness made enduring. A letter was found on Dr. Beane, written on the evening of the day after they were caught in the snow, in which he describes their sufferings, and hopeless position, and gives instructions for the disposal of his ef- fects. Really these Alpine accidents look very stupid, and very like suicide. MARRIED. MARTIN.â€"HOLD8WORTH.â€"By the Rev. J.
