In Londonderry, Ireland, on the 17th ult., a 
riot occurred between t he quay porters on strike 
and oiliera who refused to join them. Both 
sides were strengthened by their friends, and 
the riot threatened to become formidable, when

crowd of rioters, dispersed them. Several per¬ 
sons were injured, but no one wob killed.

A Paris dispatch of tbc22d ult. says that Father 
Hyaeiuthe, the celebrated monk preacher, so 
well known on account of his lino efforts in the 
pulpit of the great Cathedral of Notre Dame, 
lias published a formal letter against the forth¬ 
coming Ecumenical Council in Rome, its com¬ 
mission and intent. The reverend father asserts 
that in his opinion the assembled prelates, with 
the Pope presiding, will attempt to execute a di¬ 
vorce between the Church and the progressive 
liberalism of the present century, and forcibly 
characterizes the attempt, even the idea of such 
an attempt, as at once impious and foolish. 
The Paris Temps says the noble and cour¬ 
ageous answer of Pore Hyaclntlie will create an 
immense effect, appearing as it bus on the eve 
of a great Council. It is truly a sign of the 
times. Tbe Sieele is of tbe opinion that tho atti¬ 
tude of the eloquent and earnest preacher monk 
must exercise a grear, influence in the present 
crisis of the Church. The London Telegraph 
estimates the declaration of Father Hyaeiuthe 
a-s merely one ol the many manifestations re¬ 
vealing the commotion iii the Roman Catholic 
Church, which promises to make the Ecumeni¬ 
cal Council ihe occasion of anything but spirit¬ 
ual peace.

The French Government favors a reconcilia-

Dispatches of the 21st ult. are to t he effect that

Sickles, hut waited advice from Prim. A Lon¬ 
don journal advises the American Senate not to 
confirm General Sickles’ appointment to Madrid, 
intimates that his diplomatic experience is in¬ 
sufficient in the Cuban difficulty, and alleges 
that the island revolutionists havo not attained 
any successes to entitle them to recognition us 
belligerents. The homo organ of tbe English 
torics is more cautious in its expression on the 
Cuban question, but inclines towards the cause 
of Spain. The Epacn says General Sickles has 
withdrawn his note. The statement is not gen¬ 
erally believed.
