Without depreciating the benefits which the Pons enjoys under the more recent policy of France, we may observe that the English offer was not without its advantages. At Malta the POPP would have been at least as free as in the restored Palace at Avignon, both as to his person and his affairs. He would have been neither patronized nor worried, nor held in pawn. He would have been surrounded by a people who had uo unpleasant recollections of his government and whose devotion to his person is unbounded. His residence there amidst a devout and ardent Catholic population would not have excited jea lousies like those which Austria would feel if he were to go to France, or France if he were to go to Austria. We need not, however, dwell upon the merits of an arrangement which is for the present at any rate suspended. The POPE is willing that foreign battalions should maintain him at Rome, and repress the national aspirations of his countrymen. That is a kind of protection in which we can neither be the auxiliaries nor the compe titors of the French. bt Court. MORNS,. JAIL 16. The Queen walked in the grounds yesterday morning.

Tea lovers of light reading have no cause to complain of the new practice, begun, we believe, by Mr. Bzwaen, of tumbling out pell-mell into the newspapers the fugitive reports and airy gossip which mingle with grave memoranda and solemn despatches in the accumulations of a Foreign-office. The French Government is just now publishing some diplomatic letters which illustrate some im portant points of its policy, and which will become material for history. By the aide of these the two despatches of M. DROUYi DE LIMYB and M. LA TOUR D'AITVEMONE s about England and the POPL, from the same collection, have an odd appearance. We ought to feel obliged to • foreign Government which enlightens us respecting British policy abroad, especially when the subject is so interesting as an offer to place the island of Malta at the service of the Pore. At the same time we hope we may say without offence that we should feel more con fidence in Mr. ODO Rueseit's account of what passed between him and the POPE last year— written as it was immediately after the event —than in the curious report which the diligence of M. LATOUID'AIIVIHONE has compiled after a long interval from various sources. We expect that when in due time the English official papers appear, the despatches now published will bear much the same relation to the French, as the wonderful diplomatic revelations of Mr. DISRAILI or Lord NOIDWIET OD the first night of a Session usually bear to the Ministerial explanations that follow. The thought of the barque of Sr. Per= convoyed by the British Mediterranean fleet appears to have awa kened in M. Dsourw Di LHOYB • susceptibility highly honourable to him as a Catholic and a Frenchman, but not altogether favourable to the calmness and clearness of view so desirable in his torical papers. It need not be difficult, we should think, for anyone who will separate the positive statements contained in these despatches from the suppositions and conjectures which the vivacity of the writers has mingled with them, and will compare them with what is well known of the disposition of the British Government and the situation of the Pore, to estimate, with great probability, the character of the offer which was made by Mr. Roseau. Ac cording to M. LaTorre D'Auvestoite, the offer to provide the Pors with a suitable residence on British territory was suggested by an ob servation made by the Pons with reference to his own' safety. The POPE, in taking leave of Mr. Russets, said, " Who knows if I shall " not be forced some day to seek your hospi " tality ! " The thought does not seem so very far-fetched. It is now explained that the HOLY Fame meant nothing at all by those words, and we are left to suppose that he was merely in dulging • habit of contemplating ideal sufferings in his own person for the Church, as when he talks of withdrawing to the catacombs, or dying at the foot of the altar. This explanation does not seem sufficiently respectful to the character of the POPE. Perhaps one more natural may be found in the difference between the circumstances in which the words were uttered and those in which they are now remembered. Last summer M. THOUVENEL was Foreign Minister at Paris, M. Di LAveterra was French Ambassador at Rome, and the French Government was representing to the POPE the urgencyof a settlementof the Roman question, and declaring for its own part that it must find its way out of a situation " qui, en se " prolongeant au deli d'un certain terme, fausserait " ss politique et ne servirsit qu' h jeter lee 'sprits " dans un plus grand ddsordre." Times have changed since then, and the Pore is now induced to believe in the permanence of the protection of French bayonets. The despatch of M. Larove D'Auvramee shows that M. Deocyrr DE Le UYB had been misled by those informants who induced him to believe that the Bri tish Government wanted to monopolise the honour of doing a service to an old man broken with the storms of State. The British Government has never concealed from the Pors its opinion that since the revival of Italian nationality his position las Temporal Sovereign of Rows has been a false one. The advice to retire with dignity for a time will be differently judged according as men agree with or reject this opinion. At all events, it was friendly advice. The offer was not simply and absolutely • residence at Malta. M. LAToue D'Auvritass writes that it was one " to convey him (the Pore) either to t " France, Spain, oe Malta, where • palace would IN a certain wax work establishment which shall be nameless a very excellent plan exists for getting rid of characters who begin to weary the public. When a celebrated murderer, a celebrated forger, a celebrated king, or patriot, or general has out lived his popubuity, he is stripped of his finery or his characteristic trappings and placed in a copper over a large furnace. The author of his being presides over his melting with very little artistic remorse, and helps to turn the bubbling fluid into a new mould to form a new hero. Very few general regrets accompany the disappearance of the old character, because every one is heartily tired of it, and disposed to welcome the new with that hope which is one of the greatest charms and weaknesses of human nature. If this boiling-down process could be applied to two or three notorious characters who are now constantly thrusting themselves before the public, we think it would secure the greatest happiness of the greatest number. We have all had enough of Mr. EDWIN Jxxxs—we have hunted him out of England, and we are not surprised to bear that he is fulfilling his mission in America. The foolish woman who married him has already discovered her mistake, and has obtained a divorce in the Supreme Court of New York on the ground of his adultery. If ahe should return to England, which k not improbable, we hope that she will leave all traces of the hated name behind her. She may come as Mrs. Buggey, Pish, Cat, Faggot, Gallops, or in any of the other absurd names which have justly excited the horror of fastidious title fanciers, but not as the late Mrs. EDWIN JAMEs. Let that title be thrown into the cauldron to be boiled down, as we cannot melt its owner, and let us try to forget that such a blot upon a respectable pro fession ever existed. The name of YaLvarroN is also one that we have almost had enough of. In any turn of affairs it can hardly dignify its wearer, and we should be glad to hear that it had disappeared in the melting pot. We are no admirers of the attractive Major who is battled for so vigorously by two women : we are no admirers of Mrs. LONOWORTH YELVER TON'S publication of her gushing correspondence, nor even of Mrs. Forums YZINEKTON'S letter writing in answer to that correspondence. We shall be very glad to hear that justice has been done where justice is due, but we shall be more glad to hear no more of the name of YELVESTON. The name, however, which we are moat heartily sick of is that of Wislnuast. The wretched simple ton and the abandoned woman who have dragged it through half the stews and dens of London have been far too long before the public. Drunkenness, impudence, debauchery, and folly are not so scarce that we need pet them in this particular instance. The man has seen life as most fools see it ; the woman has been advertised beyond the wildest dreams of the Haymarket. Let them be both bundled into the cauldron and heard no more of. 1 1 The woman has been true to her trade; and the mau has applied for a divorce. We hope that no legal scruples will lead to unnecessary examina tions, and find food for the reporters. The sooner the case is disposed of, and the divided performers are each sent to the obscurity they ought never to have emerged from, the better for public decency. TEE MEMOEILL TO THE LATE PRINCE CONEOB.T.— The E.rl of Clarendon, Sir Chitties Eastlake, and Mr. Alderman Cabitt, held a meeting yesterday, when arrange ments were made for displaying the designs prepared by the seven competing architects for the Prince Consort me morial in St. George's Hall, Windsor Castle, to be reedy for her Majesty's inspection on her return from Osborne. A paragraph has obtained currency to the effect that Mr. M. Wood has received a commission to execute a colossal marble bust of the Prince of Wales, to be placed in the Town-ball of Manchester. We are in formed that a few weeks ago, in compliance with a request made by the Mayor of Manchester (Mr. Abel Hey wood), through Sir Charles Phipps, big Royal Highness the Prince of Wales graciously consented to honour Mr. Marshall Wood, the sculptor of " Daphne," with sittings for a mar ble bust, to be placed in the Manchester Town-hall, and which the mayor proposes to present to the corporation. The bust is to be of the same dimensions as that of the late Prince Consort, which was presented by the executive com mittee of the Art Treasures Exhibition, and is now in the vestibule of the Town-ball. Mr. P. A. Taylor, M.P., has intimated the intention of addressing his constituents at Leicester on the 26th inst. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, M.P., will preside at a public meeting at the London Tavern, at three o'clock on Thursday, Jan. 20, on behalf of the George yard Ragged Schools and Church, and shelter for matelot boys, High-street, WldtachapeL His lordship will be sop ported by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Londoe and other eminent noblemen and gentlemen.

The Archbishop of York elect will hold his first ordination on Sunday, March 1. During the last three days the private library and personal effects of the late Most Rev. John Bird Sum ner, D.D., Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, removed from Lambeth Palace and Addiogton Park, have been disposed of by Messrs. Foster, at their gallery, in Pall-mall, by di rection of the executors. Although early in the season, the eels was well attended, and excited considerable interest. The first two days were occupied in the dispersion of the library. Mr. G. Lowrance, the author of "Guy Living stone," &c. bas, it is said, left England for the Southern States of America. It is reported that he intends taking service under "Stonewall" Jackson. The University of Cambridge has lately received • present of thirty pictures, by modern artists, from the gallery of Mrs. Ellison, of Sudbrooke Holm., near Liocol•. They hare been placed in the Fitzwilliam Museum, to which they form a welcome addition, that gallery being almost entirely deficient in representatives of the modern English schools of art. The Illustrated Times says :—" Mr. Philips, the artist, is busy on • picture of the House of Commons, and lately the house was put in order ; the table was covered with books and boxes, the seats were all uncovered, the mace was placed upon the table, and Mr. Speaker mounted to his chair and gave Mr. Philips a sitting." Madame Ceiling, who went to Barcelona to sing as Fides in Le Propkete, is said to have found the theatre there (as can well be believed) so inadequate to the repre sentation of a complicated and difficult opera that she threw up her engagement.

Augier's new comedy Le Pits de °Show has been translated into Italian, and will be performed at Tarim acd at the principal theatres of Italy. The Levant Herald (Constantinople) of the 7th says :—" Not a few of our readers will regret to learn that the magnificent little imperial theatre at Dolmabakche has been dismantled, preparatory to being converted into a bar rack! The building, furniture, and embellishment of this gorgeous little temple of the Muses cost Sultan Abdul Medjid more than 60,000,000 p., and the result was a bijou of architectural and decorative art unsurptheed, if even equalled, in Europe. On Saturday last the whole interior of the building was stripped, and in a few weeks its lately perfumed atmosphere will be redolent of &raves and chu sours. In addition to this transformation, the Sultan has, it is said, also decided on converting the university building into a barrack. The whole of the outlay consequent on both these changes will be defrayed out of the ezhaastlior economies of his Majesty's privy-puns.' _ .

The Federals were then apparently in possession of the city. General Roeencranz re-organised his forces the previous night and drove the Confederates nearly two miles. Reinforcements were arriving. Federal accounts of the battle of Vicksburg state that it lasted five hours, when the Confede rates were driven back and out of their fortifications in the rear of the city. At night the two armies lay on their arms with two bayous between them. On the following day Federal General Sherman renewed the battle, and carried • strong Confede rate position by storm. The iron-clad Monitor foundered at sea on the night of the Slat nit. south of Cape Hatteras, with the loss of two officers and 38 men. Great dissatisfaction prevails among the Ken_ tucky volunteers on account of the Emancipation proclamation, sufficiently wide-spread to produce serious demoralisation among the troops of that state. Many prominent officers have resigned. An invasion of Texas is threatened from Mexico, a force of 600 to 1,000 men having been organised under Cortssia for that purpose. The Confederates say that they took 1,626 pri soners at Fredericksburg. The commercial news has been anticipated by the Bohemian. RUSSIA. BT. PETERSBURG, JAN. 16.

The Brussels Indipendence observes : The Temps was warmed yesterday, the Revue Nationale, a periodical publication, is so to-day. The Independence was detained yesterday at the Post-office. In view of this painful recurrence of rigour, and above all in the absence of precise definitions of the offences which may be committed, the 11011-offiCiOUS press has formed a resolution to abstain henceforth from any reflection upon the action of the government. The Opinion Nationale, which has given numerous pledgee of its devotion to the empire, but which is not always in a humour to approve everything, entered some time ago upon this path, the only honourable one when securities for independence are wanting. As the Frew remarked yesterday, the journalist is only respon. aible for the liberty which is allowed him, and under pre sent circumstances silence is not dishonourable. Outside the question of actual politics there are sufficient questions open to his study ; and when he shall limit himself to registering the act. of authority and the facts most indis pensable to history, the absence of all criticism will only serve the better to elucidate the value of certain systematic enigmas. TURKEY. THE CHANGE OF MINISTRY. The Levant Herald of the 7th has the following account of the ministerial changes in Turkey : The ministerial crisis which has been looming for a fort night, but to which premature allusion was, in official phrase, " inconvenient," has come at Jut —more suddenly and sweepingly than perhaps any one of the many who fore saw it would hove ventured to predict. In the course of a eines twenty-four hours nearly the whole personnel of the government has been changed, not, aa would be the case in western Europe, by any collective action of the cabinet itself, but partly by the separate motion of the sovereign, and partly by that of the individual mioisters conceroed. Even now that the crisis is mooed, the conditions under which we write leave us free to do little more than chronicle the mere champs that have taken place. Even under the restraint of this compelled reserve however, we may still mention that the fact of a certain jroideur on the part of the Sultan towards Fuad Yacht had been no secret in official circles for the past two or three weeks. His highness's " indisposition," we were glad to know, was explained rather by this feet than by any physical ailment whatever. We have beard a reason given for the imperial coldness, but will not be expected to make it public. lie the cause, however, what it may, when on Friday last the Sultan summarily ordered the dismissal of the Capitan Pacha and the Seraskier, without the usual prior consulta tion with the Grand Vizier, the latter had hardly any option but to tender his resignation, and, from the known relations of the two ministers, the public would have been surprised if Aali Pacha had not followed his example. Accordingly, on Saturday afternoon both ministers laid their "seals," of office at the feet of his Majesty. On the previous d►y the dismissal of Mehemet Aali Plebe was speedily followed by that of the Minister of War. Rumour states that reports—in which we of course place no confidence whatever—reached his Majesty, implicating both these high function aries in gravely compromising abuses connected with the late Montenegrin campaign. Another cur_ rent explanation of the Capita° Pacha'a fall is, that he bad retained Salih and Rachid Pachas in their places in the arsenal in the teeth of an imperial order for their dis miseaL The fact certainly is that both the latter func tionaries have since been placed on half pay. Be the cumulative cause of his Majesty's action, however, what it may, both ministers were very summarily dismissed, and Rear-Admiral Mehemet Pacha—now in London on • mission connected with the construction of mailed frigates —and Rachid Pacha, President of the Council of War, were respectively promoted to the vacant posts. Kalil Pll6llll, Director of the Imperial Foundries, was at the same time named Grand Muter of Artillery —one of the m►ny attri butes of the disgraced Capitan Puha. Pending the arrival of the new chief from London, whither he was immediately telegraphed to return, Mustapha Paths, President of the Naval Council, was awned his caiman. As we have said, the resignation of the Grand Vizier, ac. companied by that of the Minister of Foteign Affairs, speedily followed thew important modifications. We have , reason to believe that, with a degree of faithful courage' worthy of his high character, Fuel Poch• accompanied the tender of his portfolio with a report on the state of the Empire, which was well calculated to give hie Majesty some new and wholesome ideas as to the condition of the finanoes—at least. Whatever may have been the effect of this document on the imperial mind, it is said that the very prompt resignation of its author gave but indiffe rent satisfaction to his Majesty. On Sunday morning, however, the Bheikh•ul•lslam was summoned to the Palace, and after • long conferenos—during which the Chief of the Ulemu is said to have doge generoua justioe to the patriotism of the late Vizier— his Majesty, though at first disposed to give the vacant reins indifferently to Mehemet Kibrisli Pacha, or to Nevus Pacha, selected Kiamil Pacha, the president of the Council of Tansim•t, for the post. Before this decision was arrived at, however, the offer of it was actually made to Neves Pacha, who—u the public will consider, wisely— declined the onerous honour. This arrangement having been come to ARIL Pasha was then requested to retain Mhos, and after a long interview with the Sultan yesterday, his highneee so consented. Of the new ministers there is little to be said. The Grand Vizier is Egypiabs by early life and marriage with the daughter of Mehemet Ali Pacha. During the vice. royalty of Abbas Pacha, he came to Coostanti•ople to escape the unfriendliness of that prime, and, obtaining the patronage of &said Naha, then in the smith of his power, became President of the Council of Justice, and whilst in that poet is said to have rendered good service to his chief. Later be lost office at—it is said—the instance of M. Benedetti, the French sorbarnador, to whom be gave angina by • letter written to Said Pasha on the subject of the Suez Canal. &cm:dog reconciled, after • time, to this diplomatic potentate, he re-entered official life as minis ter without portfolio, in which character he figured till his appointment to the presidency of the Council of Tanzimat, now rusted by his promotion to the ministerial command. imchief. Mehemet Pacha, the new Grand Admiral, has, prior to his present mission to England, bad the advantage of con siderable western experience, both in Eoglaud and Ame. rice. He speaks English, sad has • fair professional repo lathe. The local public would, however, have been less surprised if the promotion bad been given to Mustapha Pasha—now his locum tenons—who was not only hie supe rior in rank, bat in professional experience and qualification of almost every kind. The new Somalia, Bachid Pao* began life ea a page to Sultan Mahmocid, from which service he passed into the imperial body guard, and thence, with the rank of sub. lieutenant, to the regular army, in which he rose through the several grades, up to that of farik, from which he is now promoted to the highest rank of muchir. Halil Pacha, the new Grand Muter of Artillery, "worked at the bench" for some years in Woolwich Arvenal, and received there whatever proleseional qualifications he pos. MOM He is said to be a good mechanical engineer. In concluding our notice of the crisis which has thus been got over, we should do injustice equally to a great minister, to our own convictions, and to the public sentiment, if we did not add that the disappearance of Fund Fiche from the head of the government at this moment is a positive misfortune for Turkey. During his tenure of °Sloe he did immessureably more than any other Grand Vizier of recent years to gain for the Porte the re. sped and conSdeaoe of Waft= Europe. It will be well Indeed for the country if his eacoomor but bold the ground thus ably and honourably won. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nox on ow PARIS, FRIDAY Evstrnra. The Nation contains a sensation article by M. Clmnier de Cassagnac on the offer made to the Pope by Lord Russell, of an asylum in Malta. We are told that the English minister is only seek ing to carry out the crafty design of England, which is and "was in all time " to hold the Papacy in a state of vassalage. A harrowing pic ture is drawn of the possibility of the " Pope in person, his throne, his court, the archives of the Vatican, the congregations, the religious orders, and the bones of the martyrs," being all carried off to Malta, and there sequestered under the guns of a British fleet. It is for this that Lord Rumen "got up an entente in London," and has been working for four years with " more than Machiavelian cunning." According to the Nation the most astute and perfidious statesmen of past ages, the clever Manirine, the firm Richelieu, the haughty Choiseul, the audacious Pitt, were "mere children in comparison to Lord RusselL" The moral which the Nation draws from this frightful disclosure is that the blind French jour nals, which have hitherto been unable to see the wisdom of French policy in sticking fast by the Pope, must have their eyes opened now that England has made such a desperate attempt to get hold of him. It does not seem to be well assured, after all, that the Pope may not some day ask for British hospitality, as he himself (a fact which the Nation conveniently suppresses) spontaneously suggested to Mr. Odo Russell, might possibly be the case. M. de Cassava° thinks it apropos to warn him that he would ex change French protection under which he is free for that perfidious hospitality which was tried by Napoleon I. The Pope must be in a state of war with us before the comparison can afford any analogy. The France says, on the subject of the Odo Russell correspondence, which is evidently meant to be played off as a great French card : Thus it was oontemplated that the head of the catholic religion should have been a refugee on English soiL Eng land would at one blow have set up Italian unity for her own benefit, and have absorbed the papacy under the pro tection of her flag. We knew before that British ambit'. Um knew no bounds, but we could have supposed it capable of being led astray by such dreams. M. [hours de Lhuys' despatch shows as how the honourable minister did justice upon this strange pretension. He replied with that exquisite raillery which diplom►tic gravity does not exclude under certain circumstances. The Bourse seems to have recovered from the effect of the augmentation of the rate of discount. Rente rose lOc., Mobilier 7fr. 50c., and the Italian Loan lOc. Railways were generally lir. or 2fr. higher. The subscription for the distressed cotton work men so far from being checked by the announce ment of a large government grant, seems to be stimulated by it, and though the sum total is still insignificant the receipts of the last two or three days are comparatively large. The Archbishop of Paris has ordered a general collection in the churches on Sunday next. M. de Persigny continues to challenge the notice of foreigners (to whom we are told by many syco phants the imperial speech is addressed as much as to Frenchmen) by peurile measures of severity towards the press. The Moniteur of this morning publishes a warning to an obscure review, Ls Revue Nationale, for an article several days old, which is described as " seeking to trouble the public peace and to discredit the Emperor's govern ment." This is the first I have heard of the article, and it is a fair presumption that the general publics cannot have been much moved by a publication. which has for a whole week escaped the notice of a professional correspondent. Not having read the article, I cannot, of course, affirm that it contains nothing inconsistent with the liberty ex pressly recognised and greatly vaunted both by M. do Persigny long ago, and by the " Exposition of the state of the Empire" just presented to the chambers, of saying any " thing nct hostile to the dynasty or the constitution." But it is quite cer tain that M. de Persigny forgot this definition when he visited the Temps with a warning for its inoffensive article three days ago. The semi-official journals continue to boast of the unanimous and unqualified admiration of the English press for the Emperor's speech, and, at the same time, Count Treilliard's agents continue to confiscate the Daily New. I have nut seen it all this week. According to the Augsburg Gaut*, the Venetian Committee, which had not been heard of for a long time, has just gives sips of life. The committee is said to have invited the Veastians to abstain from mailing the theatres and other places of amassment during the Carnival. The Gazette states that the police have obtained traces of the committee, and have arrested several members. The ex-Queen of Naples has returned the follow ing reply to an eddrees of the ladies of her mart, preowned shortly before her return from Aupbarg to Munich:— " Augsburg, January 4, Convent of Ursula. Iduliss,—. Once more the evidence of your fidelity and your devotion comes to solace my exile. I gratefully accept the wishes you express for the rwestabliahment of my health.
