expel, but that this time he himself would have to go first. The Fieschietto, a Sardinian paper, demands the removal of the Pope to Jerusalem. From Munich it is written: "The Holy Father is, in a milder form, already just as much a French prisoner as Pius VII once was. He is now no longer master of his own personal movements, and stands under General Goyon. As is reported from Rome, nothing would stand in the way of the Pope's departure for France; only he is not allowed to travel anywhere else, unless he were to abdicate. That this latter course is very eagerly wished for in the Tuileries, so that a Napoleonid, taking his orders from Paris, might be placed on the Holy See, we have not the slightest reason to doubt. The Univers mentions a rumor in Madrid that, should the revolution extend also over the Papal States, the Pope would find refuge in the Balearic Islands; the ministry, it is said, has already received advice from the Spanish ambassador in Rome to send 10,000 men to these islands for the Pope's protection."

Dr. Sander, superintendent in Wittenberg, died on April 28 of this year.

Marburg. We read the following in the Pilger aus Sachsen: Consistorial Councillor Vilmar, who had issued a polemical tract against the theological faculty at Marburg — which in former times was a good Lutheran one — and had on that account been sued by the gentlemen in question, has now been convicted, and sentenced to a fine of 33 thalers or 18 days' imprisonment. We would ask, in this connection — better: how cheaply — must the honor of an entire faculty be valued, if it can be restored again with 33 thalers? The faculty, however, has sought its honor in this affair, and — found it.

Königsberg, April 18. The "Protest" against civil marriage, etc., in the Hengstenberg Evangelical Church Gazette, which led to the well-known decree of the Supreme Consistory to the consistories, has, according to inquiries made, been authored by the local general superintendent, Dr. Sartorius. He has meanwhile been placed on leave from his office.

From Saxony, April 27. It is written to the "Fr. P. Z.": The greater freedom which is presently granted in Prussia to the German-Catholic and free congregations has given rise to the idea of holding a general council at Leipzig next June, in order to deliberate on a common organization and a freer position vis-à-vis the state. The central board of those congregations in our kingdom has, for the time being, communicated this to the provincial board of the Silesian congregations.

Barmen, April 28. Yesterday word arrived from Berlin that the Kirchentag which was to have been held here has been called off. The cause is partly the division among its leaders, partly apprehension over the war.

Berlin, May 2. Today the report was read out in the marriage-law commission of the House of Lords. Civil marriage has been rejected altogether; a motion by five members for an emergency civil marriage, for cases where the church refuses to solemnize a marriage, was rejected by 9 votes. The grounds for divorce, on the other hand, have been agreed to. In substance, therefore, the bill has been rejected, and would presumably meet no other fate in the plenary session either.                                              (Allg. Z.)
