Tile Times announces a belief in what has been for some time fared and apprehended, but whet is nevertheless still almost incredible,—that Lord DERBY and his colleagues have advised the Qt7EEN to grant to Convocation her Royal License, to proceed at its next meeting to business. We would repeat that such 'story ' would be quite incredible were it not for the general character of the present government,—the peculiar rashness and precipitancy of the PREstr.it,—&uld the High Church and Tractarian obligations he and his colleagues have imposed on themselves. If however, it be true, then the weakest and most in competent ministry England has had slow the ' Hanoverian succession, will have dared to do an set more audacious and mischievous than the strongest ministry since that period ever dreamt of. Since 1719, such a thing as restoring or reviving cunt°. ' nations never entered the head of a responsible ' adviser of the English crown, until, in an evil moment for the country, Lord DERBY became the minister of Queen iii-routs. And if be has really Riven any such advice to her litursee, be will have done so in the presence of two recent facts—one, that the very advocates of such a policy two years ago withdrew their own motion on the subject in the House of Lords; the other, that they have never dared even to moot the proposition is the House of Commons. True, the revival of Convocation for business pur poses is within the traditionary scope of the royal prerogative. But we live under a parliamentary government ; in England we have a parliamentary church ; and the policy of our ministers must in all respects and on all subjects bo a parliamentary policy. Now, even for the SOVEREIGN to revive Convoca tion after more than a century's silence, — a silence in favour of which there always has been, and is still, an unanimity of all ra tional opinion—will substantially be to take the Church of England out of the sphere of parliamentary jurisdiction; a step which the people of England sever will submit to. That, however, is the end and aim of the schemers and plotters, lay and ecclesiastical, who have been urging this step on Lord DERBY and his colleagues. They seek to render the Church an institution separate from, and independent of, the legislature ; with powers, privileges, and authority, which parliament cannot in terim with or control. They wish to make a two-fold division of royalty; one, as head of the Church with its spiritual council, Convocation; the other, as head of the State, with its temporal council, Parliament. Once tolerate Convocation, and we shall have to embark in a struggle that must end either in a complete revolution of the constitution of this country, or in the destruction of its Church. Were it possible simply to revive the Convocation se it was situate in 1719, a greater nuisance could not be restored. There are no such scenes and 'se cession of discords, wrangling', disputes and literary warfare* in the world's history as those which Convocation from the period of the Revolution of 1688 to 1719 produced. The two houses quarrelled and fought about privileges and forms; the lower house of clergy abused the upper house of bishops; the upper hones of bishops cen sored sad rebuked the lower hones of clergy; the writings and sentiments of the most eminent men of the day were tortured and ransacked by eager, furious pigmies to afford means of prosecution and persecution; episcopacy was accused of all manner of treasons and sudiseances to the Church because of its moderation towards the State; pretensions were raised far the Church inoisepsiibis with order and civil government; the tensed= of dissent and et bee ("Won was ead eedeagered ; w et: El sa ves ea li g i trZ a tid palisade= brr on the mi l let tbs Z ed nippily the most using) of all sib ; the most preposterous 11011, stuled and the sompabsesion of the church was is mat &sier t when the PRIMATE the Owe nip to 1111110110 Oosvocatiaa, and to give pose to the land. After a few years the meal limes to pressed to business was issued ; with, however, the same goneigesems "envy, hatred, malice, adafl unsberitableons ;" and once more, with the full appeabstios of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY and amidst the apple:see of the nation, Convocation wee closed in 1719, it wee hoped, for ever. And what a esstery el repose folle iv gimbaed !

But it is impossible now simply to revive the Ccee. vocation that was silenced in 1719. To all fluorine( the past (modified a little perhaps by the refleassesb of modern manners) we should have to add the went evils of the present; we should have to add monies of oar own, theories of our own, designs of our own times ; worse than all, the lessitry of one slew. To restore Convocation now is to provide a battle field for the two armed and exasperated parties that as yet strive and struggle for mastery apart in the Church of England—an arena round which the anxious hopes and the fears of thousands would Ilrevable and crowd—an amphitheatre whereon to bold an ecclesiastical bull fight. And when victory shall have declared for one side, where then would be the atnek of England P Rent, torn, and divided, a separation and secession would be inevitable.

THOSE who regard diplomacy In an useless art, and who think its maintenance as a separate branch of the public service to be little better than a disguise for oligarchic sinecnrism,—ought to wish for Lord MALMESBURY'S continuance as long as possible in his present office of Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. People may dispute about the merits of a ' machine when they see it in full action ; but who can defend the necessity or utility of mechanism which stands absolutely still ? The motive power of diplomatic agency consists is the intellectual vigour and political skill that reside for the time being in Downing-street. What if that energy and capacity be nil Lord MALIIESEWRT has now been seven months in office, and within that period ho has completely realised the character of Grand Cypher. Every where our ministers find themselves reduced to a condition of entire passivity. Good or evil counsels may appear to them to prevail in the courts to which they are accredited; but destitute of instructions, sad utterly uncertain as to the possible views or =el the government at home, they naturally from the exercise of all influence whatsoever, sod are forced to remain silent spectators where, Cider other auspices, they might have borne a part honourable to humanity and advantageous to their country. Ths rivals of British power and influenoe,and all who hat sot fear the name of constitutional freedom, are not slow in availing themselves of the opportu nity thus afforded for regaining their old ascendancy in all the minor states of Europe. With absolutism established and about to be enthroned in France, the lesser states can have but one potential friend and counsellor, whose standing policy consists in the de velopment of free institutions. But, under the be numbing inefficiency . of Lord MALMESBURY, Eng land is fast sinking into a condition of international nonentity such as has not been seen since the dis honourable days of the Srusiers. In more respects than one, however, Lord Decay ' s Cabal appears emulous of the fam e of their notorious predecessors of two centuries ago. They are equally unconcerned at the prospect of the community at home being con vulsed by religions paroxysms, as that its dignity and reputation abroad should be blighted by the paralysis of their own incompetency. At Florence we have nominally a minister pleni potentiary; and, thanks to the late government, the office is at present filled by a man in every way competent to discharge the duties that may devolve is the ordinary rooms of things upon our envoy. But Sir HENRY Butwea has had too much experi ence in his profession to venture to take any decided step or even to assume any decided tone without de finite authority from Downing-street. Left to himself, or sustained by a government in England conscious of what was due to the con sistency and repute of the nation he repro ving', Sir HENRY would long ere this not only have obtained redress for the wrongs done to British subjects in Tuscany, but have assumed that position at the Florentine Court that would have rendered ezpostelation and requests on the part of the English people unnecessary on subjects where the QUEEN'S envoy might with propriety have anticipated the ap ing The case of the MADIAIS is on every tongue, and its details are recounted by every fireside in the load.

The tardy act of reparation now dons, or, to speak more correctly, promised to be done, to a deeply injured man, has produced a very favourable effect. The Mons . - few, as usual, was extensively placarded at au early hour this morning, and groups have been seen all day reading with mach interest the following account of an interview which took place between Louis Napoleon and Abd-el-Kader at Amboise, on the 16th of October: Tin Prime hso marked the end of his tour by a great act ofjustion sad national generosity : he Ina restored Abd elsKadg to liberty. This act has long been decided in his mind ; he wished to carry it into effect as soon as circus stages should permit him to follow ' without any danger to the country, the suggestions of his heart. At present, Franee has in his strength and his rights too legit i mate • ocoadone* not to show herself great towards a vanquished enemy. In retaining to Paris, the Prince stopped at the Chateau d'Ambotia, sad having seen Abd-cl-liader, in foamed him of the end of his captivity in the following terms Abslnl-Kader,—l come to inform you of your libera tion. Yea will be coadsctsd to Brooms in the states of the Sultan, as soca as the asmmaif preparations shall have been made, and you will receive there from the French go vernment an allowance worthy of Tour former rank. You are aware that for • length of time your captivity his caused ma • reel sanction, for it incessantly reminded me that the government which preceded me bad not observed the regagemeate entered into towards an unfortunate enemy; and sothiag in my eyes is more humiliating for the government of a great nation than to misunderstand its etresith to each a point se to fail in its promise. Gene rosity is always the beet counsellor, and I am convinced that your residence is Turkey will not prove injurious to the tranquillity of oar pagesions to Africa.

Louis Napoleon stayed only a short time at the Tuileries, went to the Elyske to dine and sleep, and has gone to St. Cloud this morning. A duel has just been fought on the Belgian terri tory, near the Lille frontier, between two gentlemen from Nantes, whoee names have been frequently before the public, M. de la Rochette, the editor of the Esperante des l'euple, and M. Olivier Mersen, the editor of the Union Bretonise. You may remember that some two months since, M. Mersen was horse whipped by M. de la Hachette, in the Hippodrome, at Nantes. The immediate arrest of M. de la Ito ehette prevented the "satisfaction" urgently desired, by M. Nlersen from being at once given, and it is even said that M. de la Itoehetto was only set at liberty upon giving his parole that no hostile meeting should take place. However this may be, a long and desperately contested duel with swords, was fought, which ended by M. Mermen receiving • wound in the shoulder so serious that the second interfered. It is hoped that M. Mersen 'a wound will not lead to serious consequences.

The continuance of the ministerial crisis does not arise from any conflict of opinion among the persons designated by the King to form • cabinet. They have all consented and are still ready to take office provided they can feel assured of ob taining a vote of confidence from the Chamber. In order to do this they must secure promises of support from a knot of ten or twelve liberal members who are unwilling to submit to party discipline, and cling to the influence belonging to a small clique, able at any time to turn the scale in a nearly equally divided house. It was M. de Brouekere's intention to propose M. Delfesse, of Liege,as President of the Chamber,and MM. Loss and Orts as Vice-Presidents. The dissident liberals de clined undertaking to vote for this list. In conse quence M. de Brouckere, on the 14th instant ten dered to the King his resignation of the full powers entrusted to him from a ministry. After a long in terview M. de Brescia:re, at the request of his Majesty, undertook to resume his efforts to unite all shades of the liberal majority in one com mon purpose. The question now is whether it will be possible to find a candidate for the presidency who will be accepted by the small parliamentary section to which I have alluded. It is deplorable that this section should obstinately play into the hands of the clerical party, who, although by their intrigues may do infinite mischief to Belgium, cannot possibly govern the country. The Entancipateen of to-day says: It is unsound more and more strongly that the cabinet formed by ht. H. de Broacher. is diasolved. It is not yet said that the King hu called in any other political per- Map. GERMANY. A despatch from Frankfort-on•the-Maine informs us that the Senate of the " free city " has given effect to one of the latest resolutions of the Germanic Diet, and abrogated the political equality of the citizens prescribed in the new °Destitution.

Not one of the signs hithe rio usually considered as the precursors of earthquake. mani fested themselves. Neither was there any sign indicating variations in the atmnephere. Th. thermometer was at Ist degrees of Fahrenheit, and the barometer at 30 inches. Stieh was the beautiful aspect of nature, when at thirty-six minutes put eight in the morning on a sudden is heard a fearful noise, and at the same time my feet felt a violent tremulous motion, which raised and let fall the whole city, as a child would alight toy. In every countenance terror was depicted in a manner no painter could ever imitate. Every body's features were instantaneously diefieured; the eyes were sunk ; a livid hue circled them, similar to when sleep ties been denied for nights owing to acute pains. The people in a mass were is the middle of the streets, on their knees, their hands elapsed, and with eyes raised up to Heaven ; a prolonged and loud cry of merry raised instinctively and simultaaeously by the entire neighbourhood, resounded on every side. lam unable to pourtray all the scenes which took plate within a few seconds. What virtues were in stantaneously unfolded. What passions were silenced at the voice of Clod, who appeared to call us to judgment Scarcely were we assured that the first shock had ceased, and scarcely had we recovered a little from our alarm, than another was felt, but not so strong as the first. From 36 minutes past 8 to 10 o'clock, three very distinct shocks were experienced. In this in I the larger por tion of the residents had occupied the squares, the open spaces, and the beach, leaving the houses opened and aban doned. Amidst these large meetings were repeated the scenes which shortly before had taken place in families. The author of these notes was in the Plaza de Armes, and was not calm enough to observe all that paned there ; but from what be did observe, and what lie heard related soon afterwards, he can give an idea sufficiently exact of what there occurred, and which, with some differences, is the same that happened in the other plazas. Let the reader imagine two or three thousand persons, of every age, sex, class, and condition, grouped in the centre of the Plus de la datedral. The stronger animating the weaker—the healthy tending the sick — mothers , some calling loudly for their children, others assuring themselves by the touch that they had theirs at their side ' since the sight of them was not enough. The husband comforting the downcast wife--the minister of the altar bringing to mind the immense goodness of Ood—the authorities forgetting their own danger, to attend to others, and to prevent mis haps—all, lastly, with their eyes and hearts on heaven, and' their ears and feet on earth. Hardly was the fearful noise which preceded the earthquake heard, than the immense multitude, as if it were a single individual, prostrated itself to the ground. From ten to one in the afternoon, the earth did not sen sibly tremble • from one to three o'clock, two shocks were' felt, which, 'although of short duration, were sufficient to maintain the anxiety and inquietude which hail seized upon the inhabitants, as well as to prevent anyone sleeping, OT even watching their habitation. Few even had break fasted, and anxiety and fatigue had contributed to weaken the stomach. This caused some to endeavour to take some aliment, for the weakness of the body increased that ofl the mind ; but a strong shock, which was felt at half-past five in the afternoon, interrupted these who were refreshing themselves, and determined many to go on board the vesse:s anchored in the harbour, to the adjoining Pens, and to the straw huts ou the beach. It can be asserted that at night fell a thousand souls were not left in the centre of the town, excepting those who were left on the Plazas. Night came, and its shades also came, to sadden more and more those hearts which were already darkened when the MID shone in the zenith, and the eyes obscured, I efore light was wanting unto them. Attacked by a species of moral jaundice, we beheld things black as our own hearts, sad as oar own spirits. In spits of the confusion, and paucity of convenience needed by the vessels, where bad taken refuge as many penises es they could hold, it is indescribable the pleasure experienced en arriving on board. Not more intense is that Mt by the shipwrecked on reaching the port which he never thought to arrive at. A little after half-past 3 in the morning, a shock was felt u Le on g, or more so, than the first, although of leas dura tion. The motion was undulating, and to this perhaps is owing that mere edifices were not destroyed. This single shook wonlit, in all probability, have mused more destruc tion to paned than all the preceding ones had caused, in senelananse of the hour at which it happened ; but others M ed( predoesly occurred, made all the inhabitants alert, end thee it was that few had to come out of their houses, sad primps not a single one out of their bed.

In the harbour the earthquake was perceptible, as we have aid,by a strange motion of the water, which boiled, prodding paespkww bubble, and followed by a fetor so intend as to take sway respiration. In the Plaza de la Cotedral all the lights were instantly extinguished, sad the immense snaltitude then there was environed in the *Mime dasinsees. In that of Santo Thomas the priest 1 b us W iec=eelebrate the Holy Sacrifice, when the was felt, and which plunged into the deep est dejection all the faithful who were praying. The scenes which passed in the streets were not lees terrible than those we have described. The few who had had courage enough to remain within their houses, rushed frightened along the streets without being restrained either by the profound obscurity, the copious rain, the fury of the wind, the ruins of the (did' bailds, the state 01 their health, or the un certainty of the road they were following. But vain is it for me to endeavour to give an idea of the horrors which were experienced in the short interval which elapsed between Ulf pest three and the dawn of the 21st. Every family tolls their own, sad I am not aware who suffered most. AN AMBASSADOR FROM I. , LANI). Among the passengers by the Orinoco akata, which arrived at Southampton on Setaelay, from the ti.

Resolutions in favour of the project were carried. Ow of the ideas which most saddened me was the recol lection of the sick.

Ood that the mortality should decrease in the fetal days we have passed through. It has been observed that by a species of miracle many of the sick became well during the days when we all ex pected to die. The data which I furnished in another place demonstrate that a superior sensation destroyed the inferior otos ; the same as an intense light does not admit of oar seeing the lesser one, and although these latter exist all the same. Never was dawn mom wished for than that of the 21st, and it is not possible to convey an idea of what we ex perienced when at its first blush we amid distinguish the towers e 4 the Catadral and of Ban Francisco, which threatened ruin sines the previous day, and whose existence made us hope for that of the remaining edifices which we kedged to be in rains. Yet scarcely had we recovered from the terror knight is by the strong earthquake of the manning, then another came on, which, if not so violent, wee w AeltiM in unison with the lugubrious aspect of the day to keep us in continual alarm. It rained at intervals throughout the morning; at 26 minutes past 12 another shock of short duration was felt, and towards evening the sky began to elem.
