LORD PALMILUTON will in a few days have another Bishopric at his disposal and we should be sorry to be forced to believe that his late appoint meats have been wholly fortuitous. It may very possibly be that amid his peat avocations he bad as little time as he had inclination to turn his attention to questions which he might have supposed inte rested few except theologians, or that did more thin roftli the mere surisce of misty, He may have been hitherto, without much blame to himself, little aware of what greet interests are at stake, and how the deepest feelings of the British community are involved in the issue of that contest in whisk two great prieciples are now contending face to bee far mastery. As First Minister of the Crown, however, Lord PALNUSTON ought to learn that the penes nonce of the Establishment, and, what is of infinitely greater oommequence, the complexion which Chair Unity is to retain in England, will, tinder Ooro, mainly depend on the kind of men the Crown shall for some time to come be advised to raise to the Episcopate. _ _ _ Hitherto o the appointments withal Lccd PAL3Me now hes recommended to the Quin have been sash as hare *tidied every clams of °Odes exespt that which, maintaining its dishonest position within the Church, threatens it with more dupes than it has to apprehend from the mere avowed hostility al New conformity. We trust we are act wrong when from these appointments we draw the inference that up to this time Lord PcLatzasros has meted cm a settled plan. The question is, Will le now panne it, sad be oonsistent in it P • No ens will, indeed. suspect Lord PALMERSTON of beading, with the :eel of a partisan, the tame doe' bled views as Bishops Vitians Sod BAILING, or of advocating, like some of the Low Church party, an asters abstinence hoes social piessans ; and no one would be more ready, we are certain, than his loci ship to recoil with antipathy from the narzow-eluded uncharitabknem in which the ergs= at the school to which those two surliest prelates belong age =fortunately far; too pea to indulge. it fine two Bishops had simply been a rig's= loge if the evangelical clergy 'sassily, we abseil has regretted their promotion. Bat Dr. TIMMS and Dr. BARING are both far merits to theft Wool : they are well born, bred up amen large-hearted men of the world, and have imbibed in the aisles with 'Web they have bees familiar every maxim of telersas, consideration for other, generosity, sad justice. Lard Pstirnerox meld sot but has bess aware of these qualities is these gentlemen, and we trust—as we believe—that he was glad to have so opportunity of evincing by their seketion his own wide &Moreno* In opinion from than who, by their sacerdotal pretensions, are fast beiges' the Church into contempt and Christianity itself into some danger. We may have apprehenskes that Dr. TUT may not have the Brazes to =kaki his own views, bet his solstice stnegthees the sonvietioa at which we are most dears' to arrive, that Lord PALmearron bas seen what the condition of public *plaice sad the exigencies of the Church require from him ; and we hope earnestly that be will be rightly guided or waisted in tarrying oat the views which he appears so sincerely to entertain for the benefit of the Church. We doubt not that be is sincerely de sirous to promote men who shall sot be Wed path ass, sad who shall partake, so fez as they may in consistency with their allegiance to the Chula of Basked, of the opinions called Broad. We woos in that feeling. The public, we are has no wish whatever tease =a advanced who slab be eggradve astroversialists, who as Weal le goes enclusicas and lines of conduct, or wileeleimer tuitions brawlers. Boilicient for the day is the RUM thereof. Bat it may be feared that Lord Paismamon may be unwittingly misled. Too many are intended in misleading him. Some of set purpose, sad some of stupidity, will be urging him to ignore the cents= and struggles of the day, to shun the promotion of man of too declared a colour, sad to select those of aratral tint. Now, neutrality is far too often mistakes far MO. &ration or liberality. It is mob more frequently the result of conscious and contented ignorance, or of a mind careless of the questions and interests at tens. If it derive the advantage from its dulness of being unintended in divinities dominion, it is peaty apt to overlook anon of conduct. Sometimes, too, neu trality is the consequence of eredidoes good-natan. and booms* the unwitting instrument of misokid in the hands of any specious knave who an find it in his heart to gall the ansescreting optimist.

We call on Lord Paussedoir foe the peomotion damn of robust minds and of exact °piddle, men welt versed in ecolesiastiod learning, versed as well in the inculcation and maintenanoe of practical religion, not celebrities of the Univenities, nor men who have been spending the best years ot their UM on a work foreign to the defies of the ministry of the Church, and whom minds, amid szeminaSons and the business of eehools, have berme sesularhed. We want skilled p►eachers, skilled workmen, from their own abundant experi ence able to assist and counsel others, true children ot as noble, pure, and general a Church es Christendom has yet nen, inheritors of the old have spirit ot the Reformation—moderate men, liberal men f but of that true moderation which comes of true liberality, and does not forego firming* and decision, while it qualifies them for spiritual leadership by the habit which it engenders of just and patient referees* to the infirmities of their fellow-creatures, whether in eon diet ur opinion. From men of amalgam character, or tram neutral men, we expect the Crown to defend the country and its Church.

The vintage, however, is of the very ectentiset, and the most blooming districts of the °amuse and Bielless have bei about a month ago, visited with such a terrific wind and hail storm that the country still boars a look sf utter desolation. Tou who live in dull rats Lipka hardly know the effect. of the war that the demean wage spinet man and his work, in thus meg calling ocanteiss. The Alps as dm Italian side, and I am sorry to my on the other side also, are defined of all the gloriqus tinkle whisk seed to clothe them almost witbia rasa of sass's memory; but the m=eqseela ll y at Piedmont, are luxuriant with the vegetation. Everywhere along the mountain elope, at the outlet of tit/ valleys, and halt wee down to; ie plain, you have such wal nut sad cheskat trees as need fear no comparison with the glorious English oak or the proudest New Ragland elm. Weil, all along the road, whiell they hare call "IA stack della Bern," from Tures to Bak, I have seen hundreds and thousands of nisguifiesaf tress, chiefly walnut trees, lying on the ground, tern up by the roots, and crashing vines and Indian oars fields under their weight, the wreck and havoc of the whirlwind and storm I alluded to. 'bogie% there is scarcely a boom barn, or chunk in - the Skilless that has net boon ia seed of a essistc sew roof, every tile el the old one being sicatessed to fugmsatn by the phase hell. Therels hardly a guess but Las to be ailelp. Use restocked with new pleats, es the few old else which are left standing us se scorched and hided as to allow no hops ofseeseary. With all this de strewth" however, the awry beers yet a Amin look, and every home-dem is open, and every pee mnt greets you with a merry face. Yon can scarcely enter a dwelling is all Piedmont where the good man or the good woman will not bid you be seated, and forthwith produce the noted cob webbed flask, and—sot ask you whether you will drink, but fill the gleam all round, and bid you drink es a matter of mane. Morning, noon, or night, makes no difference, nor does it matter w hether you are a friend of the hoom or as utter stranger. "Amy friend of a friend is a Mend," and in lees than two minutes you find yourself hobnobbing and glass gigging with a man you sever have men hokum, and never is all probability will are spin, but who very earnestly drinks " your better acquaintance." Women and young girls, with eyes as sparkling as the ruby liquor before you, give you the encouragement of their smile end their example; for no me ohms wise, nor end any one dread the house, gouda% hormlese, though generous liquid. With all the disease, and the scarcity and dearth, there is wine still in the country, and you may still have, at any inn by the wayside, a bottle, chiefly of Meademat, for 24 sou (12d.), a very high pries here; but in meet private houses you have the relics of old vintages, from 1789 upwards, chiefly of that of the year 1848, which was a famous ace' ; and although the stock has dwindled to the very last bin, although the Piedmonts's stints himself in the bever age which is as necessary to him as the air he breathes, still, no sooner does a frigid or stranger's figure darken hie door than the old wise must be forthcoming, se if the very honour of the country might be endangered by the mere fact that any sun mat with a dry wel come on the threshold of a Piedmont= thraieg. Little will it avail you to shirk the wine, for then your entertainer will ply you with was, liqueur, &0., and allow you no peaos till he has found an answer to his inexorable, " What will you take °" ' Open-hearted, earnest, and eves, if you will have it so, obtrusive as the Piedmonts always are in their hospitality, there is something in their heassyr this year which =keg them more than ever friendly and obliging. Materially speaking, indeed, they see worse a than aver this season. The oorn is a dead failure. The wheat has yielded scarcely more than half the average crop. The Indian or Todd. h eorn-maise or melee, the staple food of all the North Italian peasantry, is almost entirely burnt up with the drought. The chestnuts are extremely meaty ; there is a rot in the walnuts; this deems that so hog ravaged the grape has extended its havoc to the potato fields and the orchards, ms that trait of every description is both very scanty and very inferior in quality. Then have been cruel frosts in the spring, freshets and hailstormss in the summer, and now an obstinate drought in the autumn. The masons are out of all reams and reckoning, the winter bitterly cold, the summer fearfully hot, the spring rainy and foggy—all this, as the priests never came to urge, ever since the statute. or constitution, was promulgated. The very climate and sky has scene thief/ heretic—English—in it, like the body politic; even the olive, palm, lemon, and orange trees of the Riviera of Genoa have all been killed by the northern blest, and whole forests of agreed, or tropical plants, have ban lost last winter, as if the keen air of freedom rendered even this part of Italy too rigid a region for them. Nevertheless the Piedmootese keeps up hie spirits, for hope is strong at his heart, sad hops is by far a greater comforter than actual enjoyment. The wine press, which has been standing idle for the lest six years, his at kat ems son some into use; and although the 'endows', tells you he shall only have three breeds, or barrels, where once he used to gather forty carloads of grapes, yet he tells you in the seine breath it is something to have a vintage at any rate; and he firmly thinks this will be the !set year of the grape disease; and se be mere hailstorms, why, with those be has long bus hisilier, and he knows how to take them as Clod lob thou. It will require two or time year, asetainly, we the vino have attained their former luxuriance, and more than ten years ere the cellars are replenished to the amount et the happy years gone by ; but in ten, pats we shall again have wine that may be termed M"N, and then we wiU better attend to the making of ili'and enter into comptition with France and Reg lad, and we whether or not we can find a market for the pure j nice of the grape in the London Docks. Not the least melancholy feature in the picture of this scanty Piedmoatese vintage is the dreadful hurry in which it is carried on. The grapes are gathered is snips, mid are ears to yield sour wine; but the ovum are sexism to b. log them in, for the poor, who have seen no grapes for six years, are frantic for them, and are not to be kept off by any amouot ot vigilanew Anything mere striking than the calmness, sober. Dees, and earnestness of them kind, good, generals , people, I have seen nowhere. They have a serious, sillst, modest, docile, and somewhat shy look, whisk seems to me greatly akin to what I know of the Naglith character. They are by no mewls loud, bat thoughtful, and, at any rate, no talkers or gee demisters, like the rest of the Italians. They have a tiem, reelped, patient air—the air of men " fit to rile ever the ware They take you over their garden and vise/ads they show you the spot where the great cedar, or cypress, or weeping willow, Bladed their house—where the arbour threw its impenetrable shadow over their garden walk. There is no murmur or peevish despondency over the loss they have sustained. It is only sad, solemn, patient regret, suit as might be felt by one pointing to the deed body of a beloved persoo. It is not beanie the destruction of the vineyard leaves them poorer by a year's mome that they mourn, you would say, it is Ware Nat vineyard was part and parcel of thole hem anal bee" an object of family love and psl of whisk wealth never, and time only atter ekes lapse of yogi% Gan make up the bereavement. You must remember that although Piedmont is essentially an aviculturel country, and the calami ties of the last sax years have greatly impoverished it, yet these mountain provinces are comparatively wealthy, and scarcely can be made absolutely poor. The whole of the male population of these valleys emigrate yearly. All the Belles. are masons. The Oanavesans are carpenters, the people of Val Selig are hews painters, those of Val Gressoney, and other parts of via d'Aosta and Val Basis, who are hall Germans, travel to Germany and engage in bade, sometimes even in banking business, and attain ultimately very considerable wealth. All of them, however, come back for the winter to their, native homes, and there is hardly an instance of a Piedmont's° mountaineer settling perma nently abroad. Their industry, frugality, and native ingenuity, enable them, in many instances, to realise very conspicuous fortunes. There are impre- Sari . ol as they are called, or builders, in the Bieuleee valleys, who can boast of having reared up thole fine blocks of buildings which embellish modern Turin, and have carried off with them to their mountains a very fair and well-earned per centage of the money that has been invested in those buildings; and that nosey is always spent by them in their native country, generally for the benefit of their country and country people. After working in the construction of houses for other folk, the Biellsee builder is especially anxi ous to frame a house for himself. Anything like the neat, stately, substantial, comfortable, and elegant houses you see about these valleys is sot to be found even in the most thriving districts of Germany or Switzerland. There is a gentleman at Guittengo, in Val d'Aadovino—to quote one ease amongst many —awes the mountains of Bells, who was the chief digester of the works for the great tunnel of the Giovi, on the Apennines, above Genoa, at the time ot the esastrasties of the great railway there. Well, the rasa has now retired to his native village, still in the prism of life. Hs is scarcely forty years old, with a veree fortune, and eight children. He has for several years more than 200 of b's giG r— villagers to convert his father's hut into a palace, and his father's hare rocks into a garden. He has built and sumptuously furnished hie hove entirely by the mesas of native labour and with the materials of the country, and there he speeds his life in deeds of beneficence, in the exercise of hospitality, in the education of hie children, for whom he has pro cured German, Tuscan, and other tutees and governesses. I have spent 24 boars with him, and I 111101/ you his house exhibits all that refloement and luxury—Rowels, books, made, and social enjoyment— an do to enliven a rather dreary though sublime and in summer even lovely mountain solitude. Murray has already told you that in Val Gressonev are to be toned boors who, for halt the year, are at Vienna barons of the holy Roman empire. The same phenomenon is to be met with in almost any one of these yel ler. The fortune and rank to which one of these mountaineers may rice in foreign countries by no means interferes with the footing of perfect equality and independence with which he is treated at home. These people seem to look upon each other very much as brothers of the same family, or at the utmost melanoma of the same tribe. The good luck attendant upon the exertions of one of them gives him no right to look down upon those of the same kith and kin, but rather empowers these to look for their own just share of the good things their townsman has come by. He is expected to make the best use of his wealth, and that means to render it accessible to his countrymen by some enterprise in which all or most of them may bear a hand. Pro perty is here greatly divided and subdivided, and every man has a true mountaineer's love of land. Ar acre of thin pasture, or even of barren rock on the hill-elope, sells much higher than the deepest and fattest field on the plain. I have seen the most extravagant offers for utterly useless land—nay, for the veriest stones and gravel—obstinately rejected by men brought with their families to the verge of starvation. There is no importance of rank, no power of wealth, no bond of gratitude, that will induce these mountaineers to part even with six feet of land they once get bold of. My friend of Guittengo showed me some patches of very meagre heath, breaking up hie own estate here and there. He has been soliciting the owners, bribing them by all deeds of kindness, tempting them with the most lavish offers, but they cling to their own. They will give him their lives it he need them much sooner than their forefathers' acres, or bits of acre. A considerable deal of industry is, besides, flourish he in these countries. There are the silk-spinning rift bud, every water stream ; theta is a large cotton 11111111fimeary at Pont, in Val d'Orco, in Canavese, and No.as orerous wool manufactories in the valleys of is the Biella mountains. The owners travel to Hungary awl the East for the purchase of their Meals, sod temp to thrive, although their mills lie es seis the ho ll ow of the valleys that they can have idegeslde rosds, and their goods have to be eared on mule back. They manage to thrive owing 'to the wonderful plenty of water power and the great cheapness of labour. Piedmont is only now awakening to the importance of industry. It is only for the last five or six years that full scope and development is given to it; and these valleys sad mountains, which have never been inactive in the worst of times, will now take the lead in the general movement, and make hay while the gnu shines. THE lA7'2 COLLISION BETWEEN THE MAIL AND EICILIIIOR STlAmsas—ln referees, to the late collision between the ahoy. -mentioned steamer., a very lengthened report, by Mr. Mansfield and Captain Schoenberg, hasjust been mods to the Board of Trade. The substance of this report is embodied in the following concluding paragraph : ' l satin, we have the haircut. t o re po r t, for the f a . fee: c a tion of the Board of Trade, that the collision of the Mail with the Excelsior is to be attributed to the neglect of the pilot of the latter, first, to keep to starboard of the mid chasm I of the Mersey; and, secondly, hie neglect to port his helm when be saw the reset-head light of the Mail; that the effect of the collision might have been ler serious if the Mail had taken the precaution which she should have does to reduce her speed on anteriog the Mersey ; and that the collision would not have taken place if the lights of the Mall had, according to the regulations of the Admiralty node*, been placed in such • position as to be all three visihlis when she was end on to the Excelsior." IMPUDENT BURGLARY AND EXTORTION.-1 1 1 few nights slaw Mi. Wilson, law statiouer, in flarewood•plam, Oxford-street , had his priceless snared by burglars, who envied off a gustily of legal documents oily of valise to the reel owner* several pounds worth of stamps, end other property ; 1001. worth of parchment stamps was found in the peerage, which the fellows had dropped in their Eight.

DISCOVERY OF BRIGANDS. Biel[ OVA OWN COIiNIPONDINT.) ROME, Sam 20. Aregularly organised confraternity of depredators hasjust been discovered in Velletri, a large town eight and twenty miles from Rome, on the high road to Naples, and situated botween the forest of Fajola ' and the Pontine marshes, bath traditional strong holds of brigands. It is to the sagacity and deter mination of the delegate of Velletri, an active young prelate belonging to a noble family of Ferrets, that the arrest of this gang of robbers is owing, although the preliminary circumstance *hich brought their existence to light was purely incidental. One of the band was summoned ten days ego to 'Krim before the delegate to answer a charge brought against him for stealing some water melees, but seeing another member of the band in court, and being mulled by some ambiguous expressions of the delegate, he ima gined that he was about to hear some more serious aecusation, and that evidence bad already been given against him by his aseciate. In his fright, there fore, he at once offered to tato king's evidence, if we may use such an expression in the Pope's domioions, and reveal the whole proceedings of the association— s proposition which, it may be easily imagined, wee not dnoouraged by the delegate. His own bargain for safety being msde, the bandit proceeded to reveal the names and residences of the component members of the scciety, many of whom were aotuully trades men residing in the town, and to con fess the principel depredations committed by the band, under the direction of their regularly organised officers, comprising the administrative employes of cashier and secretary, for the due division and registry of the spoil. This gang proved to have been the plunderers of Signor Mammuccheri's house at Velletri, whence they abstracted twelve thousand dollars about six months ego; and the oon• fessing culprit, sea proof of her veracity, informed the delegate exactly where his share of the booty, amounting to a thousand solidi, OM to be found, tc • gether with five hundred more of hie own private earnings. He also confessed that several homicides had been committed by his associates, and acknow ledged that he had himself murdered one of the bend a short time before, because being du • ' satisfied at receiving only six hundred dol. lan, instead of a thousand, which be con sidered to be his lawful share of the prey, , the defunct had let fell some threats leading tosser. , position that he might possibly denounce his com panions. The body of the murdered men, a oarter by trade, wee found boned where the confessing as. mein had specified, with a gunshot wound through l the back of his head. Armed with these proofs, the i delegate had the rest of the band, at leest all he • could find, amounting to about a dozen, in the town i of Velletri, arrested forthwith, sod subjected them to a very rigorous examination; but se they obsti nately denied any participation in the crimes laid to their charge, the prelate, feeling sure r of his facts, ordered their memories to t be refreshed by a powerful administration of , the baatioado, an argument which, although not • strictly legal, was found so striking by those who i underwent it that they made ample confessions, and • after the first few had been subjected to this regime the mere sight of the cudgel sufficed to make the t remainder communicative. Six thousand dollars were found in the robber: hiding places, being part of the plunder of Signor Manimuccheres strong box, wbioh they were afraid to put in circulation on account of its being chiefly in large gold pieces, boarded up by the-rich man, and therefore likely to bring suspicion upon them. Folly satisfied with the result of hie examination, aid the magic effect of his bastioado, which proved quite a divining rod in discovering the lost treasure, the delegate had his prisoners thrust into gaol, to await their trial by the regular criminal triv banal: Meanwhile the highway practitioners cont 4 ens their exploits on the solitary road to Porto d'Ansio, where another carriage win stopped and robbed three days ago. A military station is much required in that district, or some such small detach. mots of soldiers as are now posted at regular die. tances of eight miles along the dangerous parts of the Naples road, to patrol and arrest all armed or inapt. Moss looking peasants. So much for the progress hitherto made by the Papal government in the extirpation of brigandage immediately round the capital. THE MOVEMENT OF SILVER. HAMBURG, Barr. 29. The very unsatisfactory state of our money market is beginning to excite eerious spprehentions amongst our most experienced financiers, and the . great loco Rations in the pries of silver end depreciation of the currency, together with the enormous rate of discount, have a disturbing influence on the produce market s and prevent purchases on a large scale from being made by our merchants, wbo are constrained to limit their transactions to the execution of bone fide orders accompanied by remittances. In addition to the large quantities of silver bought by the firm of Messrs. H. J. Merck and Co., and sent by them to Austria to pay the workmen and materiels of the Great Elizabeth Railroad (Vienna to Line, to join the Bavarian line), some considerable parcels of the same precious metal have been bought up here by the eminent banking-hones of Paul Mendelesobee Bartholdy, and sent to Berlin for coinage at the Mint, as the want of en adequate gum ' tity of the circulating 'iridium is severely felt in Prussia, where large quantities of dollais are continually being exported for the purpose of being melted down. There are slur at this moment no less than six millions of dollars withdrawn from circulation and deposited in the cellars of the Hamburg Bask. The rate of discount, which has risen to 9 and n per cent., has never been so high here before, with the exception of the great crisis of 1826, in iwhich year it varied for several months between 10 and 16 per asst. Under these circumstances it is proposed to esta blish a gold standard in addition to the existing silver one. This idea appears to give general satisfaction, and a petition to the Senate on this subject has been Rot up and lies for signature at the Exchange Rooms. A steamer arrived in the river to-day from England brings 50,000 lbs. of silver. It is said that a large oompsvy is forming in Paris to supply the public with wine, milk, bread, groceries, fruits, aced other adjuncts to the dinner table, at prices mere reouneble than are at present paid. On Tuesday a boy wee charged before the Tribunal of Correctional Police at Paris, with picking pockets. It appeared from the evideice teat he row, lied a white moue which he exhibited in the public thoroughfares, and which he calmed to perform several little tricks. During each performance he dripped the mouse iota the pocket of one of the spectators, and then en pretence of sacking for it, he proceeded to examine the pockets of several. In the cthrse of his ezamination he wee in the habit of stealing money, purses, knives, hindkerchiels, or anything else Its Imputed to find. A Z suave named °lesson, who lost en arm in t h e attack on the Malakhiff, wee the prosecutor at • courts martial held on Tuesday in Pavia. When he war called om to give his eviderre, the president of the curt, not noticing that his arm had been amputated, to'd him to raise hlc rigid hand and swear to till the truth. " Coknel," said the man, "my eight hand is absent without .leave ; it is reposing In peace in the truck's of 'he Malskhoff, but its left ,site heir at-law ; will that do as well 1" t. Ab, my man !" said th e colonel kindly, " you are amputated. Well, raise your left head." HOMEOPATHY IN FRANCE.—A question of cone eidereble interest has just been decided by the Imperial Court of Angers. M. Clued, • home 'r ethic physician, now of Paris, formerly practised at Augers, and provided the medicines which he himself prescribed. He was, in cones queues, summoned before the Tribute( of Correctionel Police of Angels on the charge of having ills. gaily practised pharmacy ; he did not appear s but as the diatr bution of medicines by him wit proved, and as besides several glees tubes filled with globules were reined in his house, he wry sentenced to ten days' imprisonment end Mfr. fine. He, • few days ego, appealed to the Imperial Court of that city against the condemnation, and hi• counsel employed a good deal of learned argument to show that the law relative M the illegal distribution cf medicines was not intended, and could not be made, to apply to homeopathists; but the court declared that the conviotion of the defendant WI good in law, and eocordingly ordered him to pay the Rao in dieted, but it reduced the imprisonment from ten days In three.
