KUM to lead to something better than the barren results of 1840 and 1841. Yet had the result of these debates been entirely confined to the nomination of a committee, the country would have a strong and undeniable cause for di s content. A protracted inquiry of detail may be the fitting prelude to a future re-settlement of the question. But the present and immediate exi gencies of the commercial community admit of no such deferred and contingent adjustment. Proceed with the inquiry by all means, as fast and fully as' you please, but devise in the meantime some safe and satisfactory arrangement Relegate to your committee everything that is contro versial and abstruse, but at all events take care daring the interval of suspense, that the country is not again afflicted by the operation or the failure of an avowedly mischievous and insufficient law. Now, it is precisely because the debates of lest week have raised this very obvious distinction into prominent notice, that they have been of so much public use ; and while it is exceedingly probable that a pause will take place in the war of disputation upon theoretical differences, it is quite certain that a very formidable party will endeavour—in our opinion with the greatest reason—to prevent the full and intact revival of the law of 1844. Leaving, however, that more practical question for the present, let us scan with some curiosity the apo logies and the defence of the distinguished adherents of the scheme of that year, who spoke on Friday night. fhe country do not require to be informed that in the exposition of any important line of policy by • Lord J. RUSELL, there will be no want of decision and no deficiency of candour—nor that it is quite im possible for Sir R. PEEL to set himself seriously to work to defend an opinion, or to make the best of a debate, without exhibiting very great ability and adroitness. But the frankness of Lord JOHN is sometimes inconvenient, and the dexte rity of Sir Romer is not always convincing. And we must be permitted to say that, after perusing the speeches of Friday night, with every readiness to admire their beauties and feel their cogency, we cannot but record the impression that upon this, as upon Dome other topics, the prime minister of the crown seems the distinguished expositor of opinions, not so much the' ' result of his own natural investigation, as of the promptings and representations of others ; and that as regards Sir ROBERT PEEL, although under the influ ence of a manifest disposition to smooth down the more dangerous singularities of his creed, there was a strong effort to make every use of that peculiar apti tude for parliamentary casuistry of which he is so eminent an example. A student, thoroughly familiar with the history or the merits of the question, would hardly venture with Lord JOHN RUSSELL to quote,- as con current authorities, the recent works of Mr. Tans and Mr. LOYD: nor would an inquirer, intent only upon an impartial decision, join with Sir Peen in his censure of the Bank directors, without also adverting to those authoritative dicta of 1844, and that implicit acquiescence till 1846, which esta blished so entire a complicity between the authors and the instruments of the measure of 1844. When Lord J. RUSSELL has extended his familiarity with the subject, he will see that while Mr. LOYD places all his hopes upon the circulation, Mr. TOOKE reasons and judges from the action of the Bank upon its securities—things as dissimilar, to use one of Lord JOHN'S recent illustrations, as Tenterden steeple and the Goodwin Sands ; and, moreover, that the hypothe tical case put by Mr. TOOKE, and adduced by Lord Jowl Rtissenn, as confirmatory of the blame which the government are attempting to fasten upon the Bank, refers to an entirely different set of circum steno's. Mr. TOOKE says—and nothing can exceed the force of his argument—that with 16,000,0001. of bullion the Bank may be nearly passive, until the drain has carried off 6,000,0001., but then he supposes the Bank to have the full command of the whole of their treasure. His doctrine does not contemplate for a moment the division of departments and the obligations to competition which distinguish the present plan, and which constitute the circum stances to which Lord Jona' RUSSELL described most inaccurately Mr. TOOKE'S opinions as being applicable. For the very convenient forgetfulness which led Sir R. PEEL to tell the house that the Bank of England had carried on a career of competition, and not to tell them that he was the very person to advise and abet that competition, there was no excuse, and it certainly involved a grossness of partiality which it is safer to 1 point out than to describe. Pawing, however, over these prominent lapses of the two great speakers in the debate, there was a re markable unanimity among those who defended the act of 1844, as to the points in which it has failed, and these in which they say it has succeeded. Mr. BARING led the van of the party of confession by stating with great simplicity, that he had been quite confounded and disappointed at the utter discrepancy between the actual and the predicated movements of the circulation since 1844. He had been most per plexed by the discovery, that the circulation had shown the most constant and utter dis regard for ail the injunctions and calaulatiowi of the Currency theory. Lord JOHN RU SELL was equally disconcerted to have to confess that, contrary Ito all expectation, the bill did every now and then place the Bank under such restraints that the directors could not afford reasonable accommodation to the public ; and Sir ROBERT PEEL Was equally constrained to admit that, very much to his astonishment, the directors had done more mischief since, than before, the memelimmt of his regulating statute. But, on the other hand, thous eminent persons consoled themselves by the rallsedesa that, upon the two remaining cardinal points whkit the arrangement was intended to secure, there had been the most perfect moons. Thus, for example : first, the reckless over-issue of provincial paper at the option of the country bankers had been prevented, and, ssmoidly, the perfect convertibility of the bank notehad bean fully maintained. - - • We are t hle tu T to say that we entirely concur in these co n Lions dons as to the fact, bat not as to the caw. • en hay convinced that there has been no over-issue at country bank notes, and no danger of a seepsuriew of cash payments ; in neither instance, however, bemuse the set of 1844 happened to be in eperation. There is precisely the awe danger of convertible bank notes being evereisaued u of the Thames running up Richmond-hill, Ind about as much danger that grass will grow bum& London bridge between the intervals of the ebb Ind Mara et the Me, es that the solvency of the both neleibealil be arleagmod with 16,000,0001. of tethers and se Wend discredit. Oa the cum point we will simply remind those who prelate the est of 1844 for delivering us from reckless country hooking and an insolvent treasury, that in 1845 the circulation of Scotland and Ireland was under no restraint, and nobody ever discovered that the mania of that year was worse in those countries than in England, and that the earliest and hotted centre of the speculation was at Manchester and Liverpool, where local notes are as uncommon as dol phins in Trafalgsr-square. On the other point, let them remember, that notwithstanding the immense scale of our importations from May to October, there was no drain of gold embeequent to April; and why ? Lord JOHN RCEISELL gave the reason and the proof the other night—because the demand for our exports fully counteracted the extent of our imports. The dram of bullion was confined to the short, sharp in terval, during which the commercial balance was ad justing itself. The whole if these speeches are a curious and in teresting illustration of the struggle which is taking ' place between the ingenious theory of currency, which traces its parentage to the distinguished authors of the bullion report, and the dearer light and more comprehensive experience of _later years. There can be no possible doubt that this sllllllb and symmetrical system of opinions will wry shortly dis appear into the long list of illealzatiens, lhat thin is a very remote connexion in acv very= scientific questions between prises Avis and the actual and ultimate truth. Use have gradually, to believe that the sun is a revolving not a stationary body—that the earth is that gold and silver alone are wealth— that the creatures of acts of parliament— thr.ee ldlition snores regress and plenty—that peetr means prosperity—that taxes constitute reventa-- sad that perpetual loneliness is In the beginning all these was wry and they are all exploded.

MERE is nothing which the clergy of the Church of England ought more sedulously to avoid than agi tation. All sects which have any permanent and substantial strength, correspond to some clans of feel- ins or opinions which pervade a considerable claw of the community. The Church of England, sa it prae tically exists, for with its origin or theoretical princi ples we have nothing to do at present, represents, among other national tendencies, the extreme distaste of the more educated classes of Englishmen for church politics and church government, except in an easy and dormant condition. Articles may affirm, and comminations may denounce; bat the laity know, by comfortable experience, that they may enjoy in the English church a practical toleration, which is not to be found among more rigid and enthusiasti cally dogmatic communions. It is very easy to prove, on ecclesiastical grounds, that latitudinarian govern ments and casual lay patrons ought to have nothing to do with the dispensation of church appointments. Never theless, the church has always acquiesced in the anomaly; and the result has been an identification of feeling between the clergy and the higher classes of the laity, which is found in no other community or country. No political measure within memory has been supported or opposed exclusively by the clergy and their adherents. Whatever may be the nominal pretensions of the church, it always tacitly allows the supremacy of secular considerations in questions of public policy. Some exceptions to this rule have lately displayed Isemselves, which it would be prudent in the clergy iemselves to discountenance. One of these, of no memorial great importance, consists in • . from a rural deanery in Essex, urging on the crown the justice of allowing the church to manage its own affairs by means of the convocation. We have reeently noticed the claims of this venerable formula to resume a substantial shape ; and we need not repeat our own entire difference of opinion from the memo rialista. They urge, with some show of reason, that all other religious bodies regulate the terms of their own communion, and administer their internal disci pline. The protestant dissenters, the Scotch free church and the Scotch establishment, nay, the church of Rome itself, have more power of regulating them selves than is possessed by the Anglican clergy and communicants. But, as we have already said, these bodies derive their infiaence from different principles. The church of Rome, which in governed from above and from without, may be leftout of consideration. The Eng lish nonconformists represent the love of activity and self-government in ecclesiastical matters which prevails among the classes of whom they are principally com posed,and which is directly opposed to the propensities of Anglican churchmen. Moreover, they have, as reli- I grove bodies, neither representatives in the House of Lords, nor endowments in every pariah, nor the seine national character which is attached to the establish ment. The dissenting bodies lay claim to be regarded only as private and voluntary associations. The church, with the conveniences of establishment, merely abide by the accompanying disqualifications. The difficulty of dealing with an independent, and E o tlitablished church, has bees too strongly felt in d to make it advisable to introduce a general assembly, under the name of a convocation, into England. Even the additional judicial and executive powers which have of late years been conferred en the bishops in dealing with clergymen &soused of ecclesiastical crimes, are, in our opinion, saspicioas, if not objectionable. We believe a police magistrate, or a judge of a county court, would decide on each crimes more fairly than all the bishops, and we will add all the spiritual tribunals of every deno mination, which could be provided by any existing religious body. Another movement, more in accordance with pre cedent, but equally to be regretted, consists in the agitation against the removal of Jewish disabilities, which has, we regret to say, been countenanced by the University of C'ambridge. There is, perhaps, no proposition more untenable in itself than the dogma of the petitioners, that the proposed measure will un christianise the legislature. Parliament is at present united by no bond of religious agree ment, and the introduction of the Jews will in no re spect change its real character. We would strongly recommend those persons, who, from sincere religious feeling, take such views as those which deluded the late Dr. ARNOLD into a most arbitrary exception of the Jews from his somewhat fanciful projects of Christian anion, to consult an article in Fraser's Magazine for October, by one of the most earnest of English clergy rues, the Rev. F. D. MAURICE. They will see the process by which this profound reasoner has been led to the opinion that the existing exclusion is unjusti fiable, against the bias, apparently, of his own wishes, and prejudices ; and they may perhaps find that the principles which they most deeply believe, by no means lead necessarily to the conclusions which they have hitherto drawn from them. Inde pendently of the merits of the Jewish ques tion, we regret to see the clergy interfer ing in it. Ecclesiastical bodies are not fair judges in such matters, because they have always a temptation to consult the opinion of those who im mediately surround them, even when they do not cordially share it. A clergyman of any denomination may more safely take a bigoted line than a reason able course, as far as he regards sectarian popularity. Zealots never pardon him for failing short in zeal ; while great allowance ie made for any exec.'s which seems to proceed from religious earnestness. We are not at all satisfied that the University of Cambridge, which, though not an ecclesiastical body, is go verned by a majority of clerical residents, re- presents the feeling of churchtnen in general on the Jewish question. It would have been much wiser to have abstained from opposing the measure, whether the resistance in the particular case is to be attributed to prejudice or to cant. We hope the bishops will not mistake the real course of public opinion. That respectable but singularly timid body . is on all important omissions governed by public opinion, or what it supposes to be such. It has, how ever, the weakness of too often mistaking the real state of opinion. Cant in England is always clamor ous, and too often passes itself - off on others, besides bishops, for the real, silent, and practical belief of the public. Still more strongly do we object to the attempt in some parts of the country to get up clerical memorials againat the appointment of Dr. HAMPDEN. If the Dean and Chapter of Hereford like to purchase the honour of martyrdom by solving the long-agitated problem of the meaning of a pratnenire, we shall not at all interfere with then; but it certainly appears to us that, when the right of the crown to nominate bishops has been recognised for centuries, the church may be satisfied by the legitimate and regular share which baa been given it in completing the appoint ment. The dean and chapter must elect (under the gentle pressure, it is true, of a premunirs), and the archbishop and his suffragans must consecrate, Dr. HAMPDEN before he can become a lawful bishop. Not having the smallest doubt that all these valuable functionaries will proceed to carry out the nomination of the crown in the usual course, we cannot think that the church or religion will be in any way bene fited by an ostentatious declaration on the part of eons of the clergy that one of their existing bishops ie inworthy of confidence. Without intending to follow the singular pro- ceeding of the Times in introducing an abstruse theological and scholastic controversy into its columns, I we think that the publicity which has been given to the Passages in Dr. HAMPDEN'S Hampton lectures, which were originally complained of, will have tended much to restore the confidence of reasonable churchmen in his substantial orthodoxy. He evi dently elpadiates Unitarian tenets as strongly as his oppoolnia, and we believe that few writers who have touched as Om dangerous ground of Sabellianiam, acisairdiela s iml realm., have emerged without the as the worst with which bee Ise the orthodox world. It is well'for the more instructed clergy to ooniider whether they are wise in attempting to exclude in tellectual activity from any sbarela the formatioa sad development of Anglican theology. It is easy enough to repeat old forms in the tame or Maud words ; but it is perfectly imp** Baas them or to illustrate them_ hy phllesopMeal eat rising term whisk were not obviously deducible from the adabliahed aaszhas. In other wards, it is not easy to say anything new—without saying somih thing new. With them who think that nothing new can or ought to be said in theology, we do not reason. A completed system, which no longer requires or admits of intellectual exertion, will 4 11 ;$ so way soon lose its interest and its use. Dr. HAMP DEN has attempted, rightly or wrongly, to define the respective offices of faith and of the understanding in religions doctrines. We offer no opinion as to his success; but that both these faculties are engaged in the formation of religious doctrine most persons will admit; and the exact proportion in which eitherpower is applied seems a fair subject for discussion. We I scarcely think it desirable that the course of an in quirer into the subject should be prescribed before hand by those who have not inquired. The church may be well assured that it is not prudent to exclude from it all men who think or reason. The unreasoning all use the same formulas, but no two scholars, no two philosophers, ever agreed in the use of the same language. A rigid orthodoxy of verbal propositions excludes all who are at the same time disposed to reason, and inclined to publish their opinions. IYI IS amities relating to trade and navigation for the month, and for the ten months ending sth No vember, which have just been published, contain some facts of interest. The quantity of cotton wool imported daring the ten months of the present year ending on the sth of November amounted to 3,757,462 cwt. ; during the co g iro nding months of 1846 . it amounted to , 3 ,411, and of 1845 to 5, 648 , 599 . The quantity ire ed during the month ending sth Nov. last, is , considerably in excess of the imports of the corre sponding months of the two preceding years; the total for the mouth was 334,401 in 1847, 124,322 in 1846, and 152,800 in 1845. The quantities re-ex ported during the ten months were 546,356 in 1847, 541,203 in 1846, and 365,963 in 1845. The tables of the: month ending sth November, when compared with those of the three preceding months, show a great falling off in the quantity . of grain imported. The total of unground grain im ported this year has been: during the month ending sth August, 1,253,686 quarters ; during the month ending sth September, 1,205,236 ; during the month ending sth October, 1,171,569; during the month ending sth November, only 610,442. The falling off in flour imported is equally marked. There were imported during . the month ending sth August, 989,021 cwt.; during the month ending sth Septem ber, 1,894,362 ; during the month ending sth October, 1,639,255 ; during the month ending sth November, only 401,411. Still the imports during the ten months of the year 1847 ending November 5, are im mensely in excess of the imports during the correspond ing periods of the two preceding years. The quantity of Indian corn in 1847 has beeen 3,389,335 qrs. ; in, 1 1846 it was 473,594, and in 1845 only 49,381.1 During the first ten months of this year 2,254,535 qrs. of wheat were imported against 1,219,178 in the corresponding period of 1846, and 518,824 in the corresponding period of 1845. The quantity of unrefined sugar imported this year during the five months ending sth Nov. was 6,976,067 cwt.; during the same period of 1846 it was 4,751,973 cwt.; in 1845 it was 4,754,614 cwt. The quantity . of foreign, " not equal to white clayed " imported during the first ten months of this year, was 2,050,114 against 163,540 in 1848, and none in 1845. Of the two million eats., only 888,042 were entered for home consumption. The quantity of unrefined foreign sugar re exported during the first ten months of this year was 668,717 cwt. against 220,176 in 1846, and 597,269 in 1845. The value of refined sugar exported during the first ten months of the present year was 349,1811. against 334,1271. in 1846, and 410,3761. in 1845. The total of unrefined sugar entered for home consumption during the first ten months of this year was 4,959,980 cat against 4,467,330 in 1846, and 4,228,113 in 1845. Our object at present is to record these facts, not to reason upon them; indeed, they speak for them selves. So do the returns of the total of ships of the long voyage (and their tonnage) entered inwards and cleared outwards in the first ten months of 1847, as compared with the corresponding periods of 1846 and 1845. The totals entered inwards during these ten months were : _ ______ .....,._ . Ships. Tonnage. 1845 1848 1847 The number and tonstage of the British ships in cluded in these totals was as follows : _ Tommie. 1111 TrA 1944 - 2,969.312 1647 The returns of vessels cleared outwards are to the same effect. The returns relating to the coasting trade are, un fortunately, illustrative of the depressed condition of Ireland. For the first ten months of the three years they are : Ent/e:*3 IniruaL 1843 1814 1817 Cleared Outwards. 184,5 1816 1847 The excise returns tell a similar story. The quan tity of malt duty paid retained for home consumption in Ireland during the first ten months of 1845 was 1,115,054 bushels ; in the same period of 1846 it was 1,100,801 ' • in the same period of 1847 it was only 739,114. The falling off in the quantity of duty-paid I spirits retained for home consumption is mach greater. But in paper . there is an increase : 4,375,2221 be. in 1847, against 4,350,0281115. in 1846, and 4,276,8061b5. in 1845. Thus, paper supersedes whisky ; the moral, the physical excitement. ERMINATION OF THE WAR IN SWITZER- The following appeared in part of our edition on Saturday : The intercantonal war is at an end. The last of the outstanding cantons of the League, the Valais, has anticipated the menaced attack upon it by voluntary submission. The delegates of the canton signed a capitulation with the federal officer in com mand, Col. Rilliet Constant, on the evening of the 28th, at St. Maurice. The federal troops were to occupy the canton on the 30th. _ — The state and federal chests, which had been carried off by the Sonderbund authorities from Lucerne, were surrendered to the cantonal government of Uri, by which they were restored to the provisional govern ment at Lucerne. M. Bois le Comte, on the evening of the 30th, sent the collective note of the four powers — England, France, Austria, and Prussia—to the Vorort. The Journal des DEWs says, that M. Bois le Comte also sent it to the Sonderbund. The journal of M. Ouizot does not say where the latter was found to receive it. The Sonderbund had ceased to exist on the 28th, when its last canton renounced the title. Since receiving the above, later advioes inform us that all the cantons will now be represented at the Diet. The only question unsettled is the claim advanced in the re script of the King of Prussia as sovereign of Neuf chatel, that that principality shall be neuter during the war. But the war being at an end this claim becomes Illusory. Nenfchittel has offered to pay its contingent to the federal treasury in money, bat has refused it in men. Al men are no longer needed, this ' refusal loses all other meaning save the assertion of a principle. At the departure of the last mail the com mittee of seven were still sitting on this question. It was reported that the cantonal government of Neuf °Wel would be required to acknowledge in a formal manner the right of the federal government to de mand and enforce the contingent in actual troops, which acknowledgment should be deemed sufficient, but that, failing this, the division commanded by Colonel Burkhard should be ordered to occupy the p The rincity. pali cantonal and iladend chests which had been carried off from UMW by the Sonderbund chiefs, were returned, but it wee Mud that about twenty thonaand pounds of the eats* of the Wife had been abstracted. The contents of lids abut Inn the com mon property of the whole Osallidnentien. The Valais was occupied by the Mead troops. A meeting was held at Sion, the chief place of the can ton, for the purpose of appointing a provisional go vernment.

Nine Whams el 'shiny, her compeadee or thank end Vase batiste' of artillery hare entered the r Valais to-day, but the commandant will soon dismiss a part of his troops to lessen the charge', already so heavy, which are about to weigh on that unfortunate country. The Federal Gazette of Berne of the let recom mends that the government should demand the resti tution of the cannon taken by the state of Lucerne from the free corps ; institute en inquiry as to the quantity of foreign arms received by the Solider band; and contract a loan with the United States of America, in order to be prepared against all even tualities. The Bide Gazette of the 2nd publishes the official report from Colonel Rilliet of the submission of the Valais, on the same conditions as the other cantons, with the exception that Colonel Millet has agreed, in consequence of the poverty of the YAWN through the sacrifices made to the Sonderbund, to leave a smaller number of federal troops in it than has been done with Friburg and Lucerne. A letter from Zurich states that the Jesuits have fled from the canton of Schwytz, and that the house in which they resided had been pillaged by the in habitants. The mediation of the great powers in the affairs of the Helvetic Confederation, was the prevailing topic in all the circles in Paris on Friday and Saturday. On this subject the public there are I naturally more sensitive and excitable than we who I are less connected with the theatre of the events. To what is the mediation to; be directed? is a question asked in every quarter. To dissolve the Sonderbund ? But it is dissolved.—To put an end to hostilities? But they have ceased.—To induce the parties to dis arm ? But one party is disarmed, and the other is in the act of gradually disbanding.—To settle the ques tion of the Jesuits? But the reverend fathers are gone. The cantonal governments are being reconsti tuted. They are sending delegates to the Diet—To prevent the adoptiuo of a new Pact without the con sent of all the cantons ? But this is essential to the very character of a new Pact, if one be proposed. It cannot bind any canton which does not assent to it. It pre-supposes the present Pact dissolved and the Confederacy resolved into its original elements. What, then, are the objects to which the mediation is te be directed, seeing that all the proposed bases are faits accomplis? Such are the observations heard in every quarter. The Paris ministerial journals quote at length a very long article in the Austrian Observer (the offi cial organ of the government) of the 28th ult., on the refusal of General Dufour to deliver a safe conduct to a secretary of M. Bois-le-Comte is visit Lucerne. This journal admits that General Dufour, as the chief of the army, had an undoubted right to give or refuse this pate ; but contends that M. Bois-le-Comte took a correct view of his position in supposing that he was the representative of France to the whole of the 22 cantons of Switzerland, and had therefore a right to hold communication with them separately. The article in the Austrian Observer denies the legiti macy of the Swiss Diet in its war with the cantons of the minority, and attacks in strong terms what it calls the young radicalism of the majority. Four Madrid mail/ were due in Paris on Friday and Saturday, those of the 26th to the 29th alt.inclu sire, of which those of the 26th and 27th only had ar rived when our correspondent despatched his letters on Saturday evening. The journals are chiefly occu pied with the proceedings of the Cortes. The tenure of diplomatic appointments under the Spanish government has become so precarious, or, to speak more correctly, it is so certain that the nominee will be recalled or dismissed immediately on or soon after his arrival at his post, that it has now become very difficult to find persons who will consent to accept them. M. Pacheco had not had more than an audience to deliver his credentials at the Quirinal when he was superseded by another ex-minister. The embassy at Paris is still vacant ; no one will have it. General Roe de Olano, who accepted the mission at Lisbon, has thought better of the matter, and it is said declines it. M. Salamanca has signified his intention to abstain from taking his place in the chamber until the charges preferred against him shall come to be investigated. The usual rumours of impending changes in the cabinet, to take place after the debate on the address, continued to be afloat. We learn from Catalonia that the captain-general of that province has announced a pardon for all persons in the ranks of the insurgents who shall make their submission within a fortnight. Previously to this an nouncement there had been several executions. On the 18th ult. Captain Gelet, of the band of Caletons was shot ; on the 21st the insurgent chief Miguel Abelian underwent the same fate; and on the 22nd, Sirera, another chief, was executed. Don Francisco de Paula, uncle of the Queen, and father of the King of Spain, arrived at Valladolid with his daughter, on the 22nd ult. His royal high imas was received by the authorities with all the honours due to his rank. We have received with the other Italian journals the Corriere Livornese of the 26th alt., from which we extract the following important and gratifying intel licetc.zßETWZlN TVICLNY 1.:c1) MODENA. —PIITILA 13LITU, Nov. 24.—We have just received the happy intelli gence of peace being concluded in the two states; all the I troop* retire this day to their respective quarters; ours to their own homes, those of Tuscany to the different fortresses from whence they came. There is also a report that the duchy of Massa and Carrara is to belong to Tuscany. The assembly of provincial deputies composing the council of state of the pontifical states have put forth in their first public act a most important docu ment, in the shape of an address to the sovereign pontiff, in reply to his speech delivered previously to opening their proceedings. This address is in fact a programme of the measures of administrative reform and improvement which they propose to submit to the sovereign. After some forms of respect for his holiness the address proceeds 111 The establishment of this council has been by far the greatest benefit conferred by ysur holiness on your people. By it you have—a novel thing—given the laity a participa tion in public affairs, and you have afforded one of those solid guarantees which can in nowise injure the essential conditions of the pontifical government. Encouraged by the kind words of your holiness, and by the blessing you have brought down upon our heads, we are preparing to examine, with candour and impartiality, the important matters of public administration, wilich are is be submitted to our consideration, avoiding carrully an inert timidity or unbounded pretensions. The following are the reforms the council declares itself reedy to examine, promising to afford the Pope their eager assistance to forward their being put into execution • • • The introduction of civil equality and of unity in every part of the legislation—e just balance of revenues and ex penses en equal divadon of taxes ; the diminution or sup pression of all charges which fall on the poor chum or which impede the development of national prosperity; the re-establishment of public credit; the destruction of mono poly, and the eatenason of commareial liberty. The intro duction into the state of such measures as will secure the mo rality, economy, simplicity, and the nomination u well as the advancement of capable Ituietioneries. The special pre tection of agriculture and industry. The organisation of a military force truly national. The introduction in the pri sons of a r egi men which may render the penalty net a pu nishment which degrades, but a manure which may promote the regeneration of the culprit. The extension throughout the provinces of the municipal system, such as it is at Rome —end lastly, the adoption of a system of education and pub lic instruction, and of a just and moral policy. The counc il request, in order to give due attention to such vast reforms, to be allowed time, and an en tire tranquillity of mind. The address is terminstod by these words : It his been often experiensed that reforms have seism from popular exigencies ; they have taken their origin ban litults and &teeter • they. have been obtained by blood ied and by tears. B uti with us it is the first and most re speetable authority who takes the initiative in the improve ment demenaled by civilisation. lie himself directs the paths wind with a wide and measured movement ; he guides us towards the supreme term of human activity, which is the reign of j ustioe and of truth upon earth ! The Corner. Lwornese gives the following letter from Turin: Each day beings new and excellent orders from the king, who pones Mated( to be • great reformer and a true Italian. The new kw ea the press is now under consideration, and will be promalgated this evening, or Monday at the farthest. bee tested against the rejoicings of the Pied mont= . It is teeredible but it a a fact. The was presaged to the Minister of Foreign Affairs y =soda, Naples, and France England and Prussia have I nobly rotund to take a port in this set. The French minis ter really aft a due *ore in it. The king was justly in dignant: la kw sad repeak " Italy will act for hersolf,"— weds while le deserve to be sac sten on the heart of awry wal.daildft Italian. Letters from Naples to the Nth init have been re ceived. On ths p =i x f the 22nd, while the mili tary band was as tonal in the court of the palace, an smosabhige of or light hundred persons came there and Mooed loud Ghouls in favour of the Xing, of the Pop% sad of Italian union. They then went to the theatre, where the Prince of Salerno, uncle of the Bing, was present, and uttered the same exclamations. The King was absent at Partici. Thi i effervescence was supposed to be produced by the satisfaction felt by the people for the retirement of M. Santangelo from the ministry. On the 23rd the Gazette announced the final aboi. tion of courts-martial, and a royal order that all pr e , secutions should be conducted before the ordinary t r i. buns's. A decree of amnesty in favour of ?s emi imprisoned under suspicion at Reggio and Messina was also published. On the 24th, the popular enthusiasm augmented, and five or six thousand persons assembled in fre ea t of the palace uttering the same exclamations so before, but adding others in favour of a constitution, a gene, rid amnesty, and substantial reforms. This crowd then passed up the Via Toledo (the principal street of the town), and uttered like exclamations in front of the hotel of the Nuncio. Thousands of pieces of pap er were scattered bearing an inscription in favour of a general amnesty and the Italian league. No disorder attended these manifestations, nor did the police in. terfere. A letter, dated Leghorn, the 25th, says that an Austrian offiLer, who had arrived there from Egypt, reported haying seen the English squadron consisting of six ships, three frigates, and three steamers, et about sixty miles from Naples. The French squadron had left the gulf of Sperms. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 19. You will remember that nearly a month since the Greek government appealed to the five great powers for the settlement of the ditlerence existing between these and the Porte. The opinion I then gave of that proceeding on the part of the mini.ten of King Otho, seems to have bees shared by the Turkish government. The conduct of the Athenian cabinet since the beginning of the d i sagreement between the two countries has been marked by low intrigue sled vulgar subterfuge. The note addressed by the Greek government to the live great powers was a recapitulation of the whole question, from the refusal of Museums to en passport to the Clepth Karataseo to the adoption of coercive mesenres by the Porte. The document from one end to the other is stained with that peculiar quality which, Wand ing to that good natured man ht. Piscatory, entitled Coletti to immortality. 3 roe Turkish government have replied, in seriatim, and completely refuted every article contai ne d in the note of the Greek ministers. The reply of the Porte was distributed to the representatives of the five grist powers on the 16th inst., and the calm, dear, and dignified style in which it was draw up seems -to have given general satisfaction. The most important article in the memoran dum of the Turkish goverment is, where allusion to the coercive measures which have been already adopted, and their determination to render them still more rigorous. _ The coasting trade licti been suspended, and the area con sulates throughout the empire have been shut up; but •as these mess tees have not produced the de sired effect, the Turkish government is determined to forbid the entrance of the Greek flag under say circumstances into the ports of the Ottoman empire. This determination is not mentioned in the memorandum ad dreseed on the 16th inst to the five great powers, but I know on the best authority that such is is part the meaning of the article alluding to " more rigorous measures." This is the present position of the Turco-Greek question, but it is rapidly drawing to a close. The document will prove my repeated assertions to be correct, that Russia alone will reap any profit from these dissensions. King Otho must be deaf to all else but the whisperings of his vanity, or he might ere this have learned that the close of this question will be the close of his own royal career. The finances of this country are in a very dilapidated state. The Sultan of late has been spending enormous sums in public festivals and in presents to his ministers. The rejoic. Digs at 'Lydia Pasha, on the occasion of the circumcision of the Sultan's children, cost nearly 1,000,0001. ; and it will give some idea of the style in which his majesty confers gifts, when it is known that he lately gave the Grandoeraddir 30,0001., merely as a slight mark of his satisfaction. Seim Pasha, the Minister of Finance, has three times sent in his resignation, but it has been each time refused. It is now doubted whether the cholera exists at all at Con stantinople. Odd cues, however, still continue to be reported by the quarantine authorities. By order of the government, quarantine, as regards the cholera, has been abolished—not from a supposition that the epidemic does not extet in the country, but from an idea that such precautions are entirely useless. AUSTRIA.—RUYOURED INCORPORATION OF Gar, LICIA WITH THE KINGDOM OF HIINOLEY.—AOcarding to the Nuremberg Courier, a report is very current amongst the higher orders of the Polish nobility of the above pro since, that the Hung►rian diet, basing their rights on several important documents, will discuss the question of the incor poration of Gallicia with the kingdom of Hungary.

It is added that it has appear Ain a violent form, (•roared by the want of proper food amongst the humbler classes. PRUSSIA.—EMIGRATION.—According to official returns it appears that the number of emigrants from Prussia from Oct. 1, 1844, to Sept. 30. 1845, was 9,239, who carried with them • capital of 1,681,035 doh.; and in the Naas period from 1845 to 1846, the emigration was 16,622 persons, with a capital of 2,515,957 dollars : thus in two years about 25001 persons have quitted Prussia, taking with them a capital of 4,196,992 dol.. During the course of this year the emigration has bee. far greater.
