A, TELEGILAPUIC despatch, which will be found in another part of ow. columns, and on the authority of which we aro discoid to place some reliance, an• nooses' that the King of NAPLES has so far yielded to the menu) of the Western Powers is to have signified his ittnntion to the Sovereigns of England end of Francs to grant an amnesty and sueb orgrnio reforms as it may be agreed to require of him at the conferences about to open at Paris If this report should tarn out to b 3 sabaten• tislly correct it will, no doubt. offer an immediate solution to the diplomatic emberrsennent which has of late IN en p rpl,xiog Europe. It in quite another question whether a promire the extorted from the fears of the caitiff KING can, wen if to some extent acted upon for a time, evestnally or permanently improve the condition of his unhappy subjects. We doubt very much whether even the re-establish ment of the et imitation of 1848, backtd by the guarantee a the Western Powers, would be available forescuring good goverment in Naples al long as this Boerbon continues to held the sceptre. We are certain that nothiug short of this oegid to be accepted, bet we much doubt it even this would la effectual. Tito sae is a proved oath breaker—no law has ever bees allowed to stand between the Kuso's victim and the Xfito's vengeance. Even under the surveillance of the high police of Europe--as represented by the Allied Powers of the West—what security Is there that this royal madman would not again be breaking the world's Face? Our own impression is that there is one effectust step, and only one, to purge the Neer polifau Mats from the evils that desolate it, and that la, to put away from the throne he bee dishonoured this incorrigible cartarber of the commonwealth of Europe. This, however, will b 3 a question foe the future. As far as the ezigeocy of the moment is concerned, there can be no doubt that it is on all grounds more desirable that BONSA should have yielded (if he have yielded) to the menace, rather than to the actual ' manifestation, of armed intervention. We cannot, Indeed, for a moment concede that the men of Trop. pan and of Lsybach were entitled to offer a ; single remonstrance against an intervention which only iollowed, on behalf of au oppressed people, those precedents on which the despotic Powers bad repeatedly acted ca behalf of oppressive Logo. England and France, in the name of outraged humanity, es the representatives of the world's civil'. motion, lied the keepers of the world's peace, were per. feedy justified in their determination to put down this paltry despotism, which is not only a reproach to ChristendJm and a disgrace to the age, but a positive sauce of political danger from the contagions fever of disaffection and revolt which it necessarily tends to engender ard perpetuate. Still it is quite as well that this coward!y oppressor did not wait till the offense ratio rerun had compelled his to submission. The great point now to be aimed at is to fissure that his submission shall be effeettial. The time for half mea sures is past. France and England, the peeetel the wield, the interests of humanity, must not again be s trified with. This interference will have seems pitied nothing unless it accomplishes all. It should either never have been projected, or, having been projected, Loot be carried through. There is no safety for Naples—there is no security for the peace of Europe—as long as this BOURBON is permitted to desecrate the throne. IT is no doubt right to appeal to the Bishops in regard to roost of the existing evila of the Church; and, to a certain extent, about the evil of bad preach ing, which, as we lately took occasion to show, Mr. , GORIILT hey treated with so mach courage, 'mime- tioo, and fidelity. But the Bishops are not mainly responsible for the low order of preaching in the Church ; nor can they of themselves pet an end to the mischief and sandal. It may be all very well to institute training, teats, and examinations, Naive lest to thine of the Dissenters. These may secure good English, a fair delivery, and general propriety of style and manner; bet these are not the entrants of preaching, nor the qualities which raise dissenting preaching shove that of the Church. In preaching, as in every kind of communion between minds, the highest essential is the spirit ; the next, the matter; sad after these, the form, or style, or mow j and so method whatever of training or testing can bring these qualities into the pulpit of the Church, nor all forth a sufficient supply of them to meet the religious wants of the people. The fault lies with the laity; though we are far from saying that it originates with them. Without (toe the moment) looking to the gen tian of origin, we most my that while the clerical function is practically regarded with less rupee" by Churchmen than by Dissenters, the preaching in the church will be interior to that of the chapel. Among the Dissenters, young men prepare for the ministry because they have, or suppose they have, a genuine call to do so: that is, became they are religious, or have become interested in di vinity, directly or traditionally, so es to desire to pan their lives in its study and onemenicatioe. Many dissenting candidates for the pulpit may be weak and mistaken—they may be impressed by pasting incidents and emotions, and find cases sebsequestly to lament their choice of a profession ; but in their rues it is alwsys and necessarily the choice ale calling. Then are no livings among the Dissenters epee to patronage and appointment; and there is no certainty of a settle ment for no qualified candidates. There is obsoletely no atiminsion into the ministerial function but by inclination and choice—however mistaken the choice may prove to be. Bitch being the cam, the sense tin excited in the dissenting world by SYDJZT "Letters to Archdeacon theaurrox • was snob as it would be a good thing for the nlem of our Church to be swam of. None bad better reins the. the Diameters to hairy how such matters were managed is the Church: yet then was nomethiog appalling to the earnest bean of religious men of other cemensioes in the moieties and feed Lazily with which the clerical writer cl Uwe " Let- tem" treated his vocation as a career in life, a means of living, a profession on the same fool'ag u the law or medicine —3 business to live by; like banking or mercantile adventure. Perhaps those widgmphists, with their cynical truth-fp:akin, did harm to the reputation of the Church than* tidier pubdeirl Lion of oar time. They did this Ulna, not cml ! by, l their ono worldlincss of tone, but by axing ft. attention ot the general public) ost the way is which the clerical profession is regarded not only by the laity, but still more even hydro clergy themselves. It is not long since we heard two ladies, daughters of eminent chprobare, say that they seised every opportunity of bearing good dissenting preaching, because nothing like it sus to be found in their own chord- Except from their respective fathers (both remarkable men in the pulpit), they had never heard a sermon in church worth listening to.Ve nether their judgment wee right or wrong, can anything be more serious then that it 'should have been uttered P There can be no doubt of the fact that visitors from the church have been 8 1 161 with wholly new emotions while listening—not only to ROBEIT !ism., and CHAIINII4O, and CHALILIIII, bet t 3 the preaching in the first half dozen chapels they but aced to enter; end that, on the other hand, Dissenters who chance to enter our churches are constantly in a state of amazement at the preaching, and ot wonder what it is for,—what is proposed to he gained by it. We may truthfully add—and we ought t add he truth's sake—that there is u much sorrow as won. der in the mood in which such observations are made. Whatever may be the supposed temper of Dbminters towards the Church, there can be no doubt r that the best uses among the Dissenters, as every where else, desire above all things the spiritual wel fare and moral and intellectual progression of their fellow-men; end it is with grief and mortification that they see the noble ancient method of raising minds and moving hearts deteriorated as it is now in our Church. Good men everywhere desire to see every old institution do and yield its bat; and it is no plume, but a heartfelt pais, to serious-minded men, whether they worship in church or chapel, to see the clerical profession made a refuge from family perplexities—a plate in which to deposit the donee or the scamp who would be harboured nowhere else. Putting the scamps out of the question, even it only the dunces, or the mere mediocrities, era ad• mit•ed, u sufficient for the service of the Church, we should have the grace to hold our tongues about the inroads of dissent and infidelity. Mr. 00111117 has chosen one good way towards the correction of the evil in his appeal to the Bishops. We trait that others will seriously consider how to ruin the ocm cvption of the clerical function in the mind of the laity. Int Court. BALMORAL, Oct. T.

The Court of Rome is but ill at ease as the time approaches for the realisation of those menaces which have been so long impending over the Ring of Naples. The hostile arrival of an allied British and Freech fleet before the stronghold of his Bourbonie Majesty is looked for by the ecclesiastical govern ment with a degree of interest so painful as to amount to absolute terror, coostiose that whatever changes take place in the neighbouring kingdom must pro dace a more or leas responsive effect in the Pontifical dominions, however soothing the unaram s. of the French government to the contrary may appear. The very We of the astern at M. fie Rayneval as arabsiesdor to the Holy See, a minister so devoted to the interests of the catholic church, sod so personally acceptable to the Pop and Secretary of State, is received by his Holiness. government as strong pledge of the sincerity of the Emperor Napo'.eon's paciflo assurances, nor is the language of the ambassador since his arrival in the holy city at all calculated to do away with snob a flattering supposition, as it is characterised by the same unbounded reverenes and admiration for the Sovereiga and institutions of this country, as before his Excellency's recent visit to France and interviews with the Emperor. But in spite of this favourable point in the present state of asks, the determined hostility shown by Frame and Eagland to the King of Sept... a neighbouring Sovereign and an ally, rendered dear to thereto by the ties of gratitude and political sympathy, he. undoubtedly produced very great aneasinserand distrust throughout the higher usissiestioal elutes. Xhosa clause, oa the contrary, who are interested in whatever events might result in an amelioration of the political condition of Central Italy, whether by direct intervention or indirect influence, have fears of a different kind. The Rumens well know the pliability of the " Re Cafone," the macaronic title with which they honour King Bombs, under the in vincible pressure of foreign force, and they are afraid that, without waiting to lender Oaeta a second Sebas topol, he will hasten to comply, verbally at least, with all the conditions impond upon him, leaving it to the Punteo fides of his advisers and the ingenuity of Lis ministers to get him out of the scrapes *pin by degrees, and restore his subjects to those fetters which the sympathy , of enlightened Europe would fain remove. In fact, Italian foliticians in general have so little confidence in the good faith of King Ferdinand, that they attach no ce to whatever concessions he may grant on the spur of necessity, unless the maintenance of them be guaranteed by the strong hand of some foreign administrator of his sovereign rights, some powerful arbiter who may undertake to see fair play between him and his people. The Velleni band of brigands added to their list of enormities on Sunday rooming, by another very audacious attack upon the Diligence arriving from Naples, at a spot about a mile and a half from Gen sane, at the foot of a long went. It was just day break when the robbers made their appearance and intimated to the postilion, who was driving four horses, to pull up; but instead of complying he clapped spurs to his wheeler and lashed his team into a gallop, hoping to get clear of the assailants by a sudden start. The murmurs proved effectual, so far as escaping went, but it war not without con siderable risk, for the disappointed brigands fired a volley at the retreating vehicle and honer, which might have had worse results than the mere pilfer. ing of the travellers' puree.. The balls whistled about the peveogers' ears, and lodged, to the number of seven, in the panels of the diligence, without wounding any one ; but the poor horses fared worse, fee both the leaden were struck, and dropped, atter gaming a few strides more. The connector, pos. Wien, and one of the passengers, lost no time in jumping down to cut the leaders' traces, and drag the dying animals to the side of the road, which wee affected so promptly that they were able to resume their journey with the wheelers only before the robbers overtook them. The moat ridiculous part of the affair was the subsequent entry of the battered vehicle into Albano, under the escort of a few gendarmes obtained at °eosin% when the danger war all over. It is really a most disgraceful thing that regularly organised bands of outlaws should ha allowed to cony on their depredatiore year after year in the use district, within twenty miles of the capital. Fortunately the roads north of Rome, by which travellers arrive from Florence, have been for some time uninfested by highwaymen. Prince Rorghese appears disposed to advance claims to the Shrewsbury property in favour of his daughter by his first wife, who was Lady Gwendaline Talbot. l The Prince's advocate, Signor Baochettooi, has been sent for to Paris immediately to take the necessary steps in so important an affair. The ceremony of laying the first stone, or cutting the first sod, of the Civita Vecchia Railway is to take place on Monday next, the Gth inst., outside the Porta Fortes.. Exchange on Loudon, 478. Bowan Consols, 881. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, BZ??. 29. The apparently insignificant affairs of the Serpents' Island and Bo!grad are daily now acquiring greater importance. At least it is quite certain that Lord Lyons, a few days ago, received • telegraphic mes sage with injunctions to despatch all his available force to the Black Sea to cruise off the Russian ports. Reinforcements are also coming up, and our war-ships stationed at Malta would have returned to this station had it not been for their more serious occupa tions at present in the waters of King Bombs. The Russian envoy has not, it appears, been quite well since his arrival in this country, and has neither given nor accepted any invitations except on one occasion, that of a banquet at the French embassy. M. Boutenieff was to have been entertained also by Lord Stratford de Radcliffe, but this, by his indispo sitioo, has been prevented. The news from Naples tested quite a commotion him and vast numbers of Italians who bad found a Wogs and honourable existence in this country are ienelved, as soon as the first shot is fired, to return and fight for their oppressed fatherland. Sir John *Neill, General Chantey, and their stet( have been here for some days at Missirie's Hotel, and start this afternoon for Alexandrette by the Strom beli, war steamer, which has been placed by the sie•l at their disposal for three weeks. An interesting ceremony took place about a fort ht ego at the imperial palace of llohna.liegtehe, where his Majesty the Sultan was solemnly invested with the Austrian order of St. Etienne, set in bril liants. Baron Koller was the bearer, assisted by some of the personnel of the embassy, as well as by the principal Turkish great functionaries. The Garter is, it appears, forthcoming at last, as I predicted it would be several months ago. This is oar lot, invariably to follow the lead of others. We ere always late sad the last, and especially when we are forced to do the " civil thing," which, in sooth, is not with us an every-day practice. British trade here is daily acquiring vest propor tions; new firms are springing up; and you will learn with satisfaction that our countrymen are ever fseeir.ost in the field wherever there is a reasonable ehance for the investment of capital; and in every spot where industry and ingenuity, employed in the erection end management of machinery, can contribute to dtvelop the great resources of this splendid empire. I never saw a more sober, indus. trious, and resyctable set of operatives than the English workmen here, who are, in their humble [sphere, the moving principle and mainspring of all mills and manufactories, iron foundries, gas works, sad such like; and in almost every steamer that /oats in these waters, in every ship of Lloyn'a mag nificent merchant fleet, a Briton works the engines. Beschid Paths is still in retirement, but gave the Weer day a very sumptuous entertainment to our Ambassador, which is, 1 believe, an unprecedented incident under the circumstances, a sign of the times, sad of the progress of freedom in these parts. Admiral Lord Lyons, with his secretary, Muchtar Bey, Rifest pasha and his eon, Raoul Bey,both family connexions et the Pacha, satiated at this festivity. Lady Stratford de Radcliffe dined on the same day with the ladies of the harem. Some rumours respecting the overthrow or modifi elation of the:cabinet have, I perceive, found their way to the London journals. It has been stated that business is at a deadlock, and that the ministers rre incapable, or extremely slow in all their operations. There may, perhaps, be some truth in this latter observation ; but the advocates of change, whether official or nocrefficial, seem to have lost eight alto gether of two most important points—the one being the difficulty about the succession, and the other as to the facilities of locomotion iu this country. I believe it is pretty well known that statesmen in Turkey are not "as plenty as blackberries." Honour, probity, and patriotism, are :be moat necessary qua lifications for a Turkish minister, and these, as far as my information goes, are the attributes and best recommendation of the great majority of the present administration. They are all moderate reformer', and well disposed to the Western alliance ; bat Whether the influence of France or England predo minates at present, is a matter, I fancy, entirely dependicg on the tone which they respectively adopt in their personal and political relations with the Porte, as well as on the manlier in which these two great nations are represented In this country.

The Nord, of Brussels, publishes the following new diplomatic document from the pen of Ferad Packs, Minister of the Foreign Affairs of the Sublime Porte. The note iv addressed to the ministers of the Sultan at the courts of the Great Powers, and is dated August 8: Sir,—At the Congress of Pris, when the works to be 'sleeted at the month of the Daunt* were under discus sion, the Otte:masa plenipotwitioriss stated that the Sublime Porte would willingly make the advances demanded for those work,. This declaration is registered in the Protocol of the 27th March, No. 16; and immediately after the ex change of the ratification, of the Treaty of Paris, the Imperial government hastened to carry it Into execution by sending a dredging machine to the Salina month, end • steamboat to assist in elearieg the channel, end by establish lag a lighthouse for the security of the navigation. The commencement of curling out these preparatory improve ments, which ought to he followed by such as may be deemed necessary t e a the European commission, wee et the some time a fermi taking possession of the mouths and islands of the Dania', which fall back to it of right. _ _ The Sublime Porte never bad, and cannot have, doubts as to its right or the intentions of its allies, in respect to the islands of the Danube and their direct ownership. If the question is now reverted to, it is to render it more clear s , and to star. - r the slightest dtabt that may remain on the point. The stipulvtions of the Treaty of Paris fin new frontiers between the Ottoman empire and Bessie on the Beasarabist side. One part of that province is restored to Turkey and annexed to Moldavia. But the islands of the Danube can not belong to that alms, but must fell under a special end separate rule. The territory that is to be mused to Moldavia is a por tion of Bessarabia that was formerly part of the hlo:davian principality, and was ceded to Rook' by the Treaty of Bache/at in 1812. The islands of the Dinah*, which Beetarabia, were placed under the regime by which they were ruled, prior to the late war, by the Treaty of Adrian ople, in 1829, and that regime differel essentially from the administration of the other bank of the river. That treaty even bound Routh not to raise soy fortification, and to build no other than cis tine eetablisbmente. Than the islanev at the mouth of the Danube never formed part of bloldaCe, and the y .riod of the' , ceuion demonstrates that they were not ceded t, Russia with Bessarabia as a past of that province. A pin of Bessarabia returns to Turkey, and it is to be amend to Moldavia in virtue of the stipulations of the Treaty of Paris, whilst the return of these islands to their former state of tbiags issues fa. a another principle. The cancellerg of the Treaty of Adrienople, putting an end to the domination of Russia, restores them to their ancient possessor. The same principle that cancels the neutrality of the right bank of the St. George's Channel restores these Wands to Turkey, from which they had been detached. The treaty of the 30th March speaks only of Out put of Bessarabia which is ended by Ramis. Art. 20 flus the new frontier between the Ottoman empire and Russia. Art. 21 says that " the territory ceded by Russia shall be annend to the principality of Moldavia, for the suzerainty of the Sublime Porto. The inhabitants of that territory shall ' as joy the rights and privileges assured to the Principalities. and they shall be allowed for three years to charge this domicile elsewhere, with the power of freely disposing of their property." The spirit of this lost ertitle makes it essy to comprehend that the annexation to Moldavia of the territory ceded by Russia applies only to Be sierabis, and not to the islands in the embouchure ; for, speakiag of the inhabitants of the ceded territory, the treaty evidently excludes the inhabited islands from the circle of territory that is to be annexed 10 Moldavia. If the contracting Powers desired to give the elands to the Moldavian principality, the treaty should have so expressed it in en express clause. The &els:siker of our plenipotentiaries at the Paris Con. fescue., embodied in the protocol without any observation on the port of the Congress, confirms the return of the mouths of the Danube to the direct ownership of Turkey. . _ It promises the discharge of a duty in return fur a Tight recovered. _ The condition In which the islands at the month now are, the spirit of the treaty itself, and this declaration of taking powession•-.11 declaration secepted by the Coagreas--will be evidence of the intentions et our allies es to the future con dition of the mouths of the Dumb.. In stipulating for the restitution of Bessarabia to Moldavia, they undoubtedly had no intention of wrongiog Turkey by depriving her of what rightfully returned to her, to unite it to a province having no claim to it. Oar august allies must hive recollected the bloed shed at Oltesitzs, Kalifs!, sad SiliatTia. . _ The oljtct timed at by Eur:pa in stipulating for the res titution of the mouths of the Danube was the freedom of that river. It is plainly evident that the best means Of attaining that object is to place them again in the hands of their legitimate proprietor. As we have said alone, the Sublime Porte, never having couceived any doubt es to its right or the intention of its allies, took possession of the Delta of the Danube by begin ning to cirry out improvements. It enrolees that tight by discharging its duty for the interest of the whole world. You are desired, sir, to offer these riffections and enplane, lions to the court to which you ate accredited, by affording a perusal of this despatch.
