Now is the time for the sufferings and griev ances of all aorta and conditions of men to cry aloud, and spare not the patient indifferenco of a public accustomed to be taught that all is for the beat. Politics are at a standstill; the Ship of the State is laid up in ordinary ; all the world is taking its ease or on its travels, and the few who have neither money nor leisure, and to whom the Pates have been unkind, cannot do better than take ad vantage of the universal inattention to pour their miseries into the yawning space of the public journals, where, at all events, they may be de cently composed with all the honours of the dead season. Even an inventor has a chance of an audience in September. Even the hospitality of the ecclesiastical newspapers is extended to humble and lowly guests. Once a year at least they go out—these defenders of the faith in rate, and rubrics—and invite the maimed, the halt, and the blind ; and presently an ancient tale of wrong, the lamentation of innumerable starv ing Curates, vexes with its feeble echoes the content of well-to-do successors of the Apostles. We had been listening for the first notes of this annual dirge. At length our respectable contemporary, the Guardian, gave the signal, and the woes of Citrates without purse or scrip were once more sting. When a Bishop confessed and deplored the failing supply of University candidates for ordina tion, the accommodating quacks, who are always ready with a facile cure for every complaint, ex plained glibly enough how in these days the opening of the Civil Services to competition, and the chances of a wealthy and prosperous career in the Colonies, offered temptations to young men of the middle class, and even to younger sons of the higher class, too strong to resist. There was quite enough of common-sense and truth in this obvious explanation to satisfy all those who are afraid to look below the surface for a cause. It was gently hinted, however, by one or two bolder commentators, that the present gusty and unsettled state of the doctrinal and dogmatic at mosphere might perhaps account for the shrinking of some young men, troubled with too much intellect and conscience, from the perilous navigation of a narrow channel, in which new reefs of heresy, unlighted and nn buoyed, are continually surprising the most experi enced pilots. But neither the Bishop nor his com mentators ventured to suggest the simple fact that the Church in these latter days, like Law or Physic, Army or Navy, is a profession, not a calling—a profession, like any other, with few prises and very many blanks ; a profession in which pro motion comes neither by seniority nor by pur chase, nor by merit, but by family interest or con nexion, a lucky tutorship, if not by the personal qualifications of a vacant or a pliant mind, and a judicious spiritual neutrality, or nullity. The Church is not a ministry, as vulgarians sup pose. It is a living fora few in the fullest muss of the word; it is a livelihood for the many in the barest and most beggarly acceptation. An ingenuous youth goes into the Church with an eye to a certain freehold in the family, or to a college fellowship and preferment, or to the admi nistration of the brains and morals of some noble sad wealthy pupil, who may hereafter become a patron. If, out of all the careers open to inde pendent industry, he deliberately chooses the ser vice of the altar from any other motive, it must be from a motive into which wordly considerations—we do not say of place and pelf, but of comfort and convenience—can never enter; a motive so pure and high that it could never descend to whining in a newspaper. Charity forbid that we should not pity the too substantial sorrows of a Curate who has the sole charge of • " poor, " populous, and wicked" district, at a pittance of 1204 a year, "and little prospect of increses," while, "like many others," he has "been waiting "to be married for a long time 2" Such a mix ture of the prose sad poetry of a poor Curate's life should melt even the heart of a Bishop who has all Lie sons (and all his daughters) in the Church. Citrates, no doubt, are not the only poor and struggling professional men stretched on the rack of this work-a-day world. There are probably not a few young lawyers, and young surgeons, and even young clerks in the Civil Service, who pine for many weary years in that bleak and stony border-land between poverty and gentility. Not the curse of Curates alone is that terribly false position, with all its secret humiliations, its gnawing griefs, its ridiculous disguises. Nothing, we know, is more bitter in poverty than the consciousness of it; and to men of delicate culture, and made conspicuous by social elevation, this oonsciousness must be a constant agony. The Reports of the Poor Clergy Relief Society are • perfect martyrology of threadbare gentlemen, who, though raised every Sunday six feet above discussion, are almost ashamed on week days to show their coats to their parishioners. But no Curate's letter that we have yet seen, however eloquent sod minute in its statistics, goes to the root of the difficulty under which • clergy man without fortune labours. The plain truth is, that his actual potation is funda mentally inoompatible with his ideal pretension He has accepted an ideal service of humility and self-denial in an age of the world when humility and self-deniel are only recommended in sermons. The ideal servant of CHRIST is out of place in as Establishment, the principal acknowledged tone tion of which is to hold an extremely artificial society together by unearthly sanctions, and to adapt the worship of a Dnams llamas who lived in poverty and with the poor, sod banished the rich from the kingdom of Heaven, to the uses of a territorial aristocracy and the consecration of political and social inequality. Economically con sidered, this distribution of patronage in the Church is nothing but • sound divisim of labour. The Bishops and the beneficed' clergy represent the landlords who are to be always over es. The Curates represent the poor who are to be always with tia. We beg Poor Curates to believe that they are part of the sternal Stoma of things—as it is interpreted in A.D. 1863. be Court. BALMORAL. figle. 15.

On Wednesday, in the first section of the above Congress, an interesting discussion on the right of neutrals was opened by M. Henri Martin, the ce lebrated French historian, who, amidst much ap plause, denounced the recognition of corsair ships as belligerents. The laws of war, he said, are now being violated in the very heart of Europe. The scourge of the middle ages is let loose ; pro perty is no longer respected ; the abyss of barbarism is reopened. M. Villiaumd, the well-known econo mist, raid that the South ought to be asked if they made war for the maintenance of slavery, and if they replied in the affirmative, they ought not to be recognised as belligerents. He was in favour of the establishment of an amphickyonic tribunal, to which all disputes between nations should be referred. M. Clamageran (French economist) urged that the South bad no right whatever to be recognised as belligerents; they were not oppressed themselves, but were simply fighting for the right to oppress others. He contrasted the conduct of the French and English governments towards the slaveholders of America with their refusal to recognise as belligerents the Poles who were struggling for the most sacred rights. The opinions of the foregoing speakers on the American war appear to have been received with unanimous approval. Among the subjects discussed in other sections was the question of state as opposed to church education. M. Jules Simon made a brilliant speech. We may add that almost every speaker attacked the claim put forward by ecclesiastics to have the control of education, and the stronger their remarks, the more the audience seem to have applauded. NEW POLISH MANIFESTO. The Polish National Government have addressed a letter to Prince Czartoryski dated the Ibth of August. The principles put forward in this document are those of national independence, poli tical and religions liberty, equality in the eye of the law, and justice impartially distributed to all classes and creeds. The National Government reject the laws imposed on the country by foreign domina tion. To be obeyed, laws ought to be impressed with the spirit of the nation, should thereforebe of Polish origin, and, founded on the eternal principles of right, should be the expression of the national sovereignty. Respect for authority is, in the eyes of the National Government, the necessary conse quence of a system of things based on the confidence of the governed, on the justice of the rulers, and on the love of both for their common country. With regard to the application of the principles thus laid down the manifesto declares that the pro positions submitted to the cabinet of St. Petersburg do not offer sufficient security to the Polish na tion, whose unquestionable rights do not seem to be recognised by them. The Polish question is presented in the light of a question of European order. "The proclamations of General Mouravieff are of themselves sufficient to prove that the Russian domination is only sustained by the up setting of every principle on which organised so cieties are based. Family, property, and social harmony are trampled under foot in these pro clamations and by the acts of the Russian govern ment. In fact social order, the principles which are its foundation, and the inviolable rights which it consecrates, have now in Poland no other security, no other protection, than what is afforded by the National Government and the in surrection which they direct." The manifesto then shows that the Polish movement is not of foreign origin, and complains that it is the object of surveillance and measures on the part of neigh bouring powers, which amount to a real inter vention. It demands for the Poles a recognition as belligerents, and declares that they were ready to accept the suspension of arms which Russia refused. "If," they say, "Russia will have no truce, we accept the challenge, and, the God of our fathers with us, we are ready to renew the struggle in the firm hope that the future is ours." CIRCASSIA. I correspondent writes from Soukum-Kaki on the 21st :—" The mountaineers between this and Anapa stoutly continue their resistance against the Russians. I learn from a native source that the Melts recently sent a deputation of mounted men to the advance guard of the Russians in their neighbourbool, to open a communication ; but the latter refusing to have any intercourse with them, the deputation best a rapid retreat, hotly pursued by four squadrons of cavalry and a couple of sotnias of cossacks. They managed to draw their pursuers into a narrow gorge in the mountain, along which, under shelter of the rocks. a party of the tribe bad been placed in ambuscade. A heavy fire was opened on the Russians, and the whole, with the exception of some fifty men, were slaughtered in the defile." (truna's rzizoluita) FRANCK PARIS. flarr. 18.

The following is a summary of the despatch addressed by M Drouyn de Lhuys to the French ambassador at St. Petersburg, on August S M. Drouyn de Lhuys sees with regret the sub etittltion of inadmissible propositions by Prince Glorkbakoff, in place of the demands of the powers. He maintains that the agitation in Poland is not revolutionary, but is the result of a condition of affairs which has lasted nearly • century and has contributed more than any other conjuncture to ■saintain revolution in Europe. "It is of incontestable notoriety," continues M. Drouyn de Lhuys, " that the entire Polish nation is connected with the insurrection. Throughout Europe public opinion has encouraged the three powers to persevere in the path upon which they have entered. It would be obstinately clinging to EXPRESS FROM PARIS. 1 a fatal illusion to continue to explain the redoubt able convulsions which redden Poland by reasons so little in harmony with the testimony of history."

The Constitutionnel pretends to be, and in fact is (for the circulaticn of the Pays is relatively small), the most important of the semi official journals. And yet it has let two days pass not only without reproducing the important OM fanion of the Pays, not only without con tradicting or qualifying that confession, but also without giving the public any information of its own. It has not alluded to the Russian answer in any way whatever. So much truth has come out that the Conatitutionnei will probably not be able to mend the story, however much time it may take for consideration. The only thing now to be done to keep up the boastful game is to hint that nobody knows what warlike measures may be taken in the spring if Russia should not, in the meanwhile, profit by the warning given her by the three powers in the name of Europe. Meanwhile the Pays has another article, insisting, for the twentieth time, upon the thoroughly European character of the question, and reminding its readers that when the question is asked what will be done now (ce pee Pon ra faire niaintenant), on means France, England, and Austria. This line of argument is only a mode of reiterating that France will do nothing alone. The concluding assertion of the article, that the friends of Poland may repose with "entire confidence upon the wisdom of the three powers," is mere bunkum. The Petrie openly says that the hope is that, in the course of the winter, Russia will so effectually put down the Poles as to give diplomacy no more trouble about them. The Nation says that a " personage" has arrived in Paris, with a mission to oontract a loan of 100 millions of francs, to mitigate the effects of the famine now raging in Hungary, and that the loan will be secured by the obligations of the Hungarian communes, and guaranteed by the Austrian go vernment.

Her Majesty's shire Pyscbe, Queen, and Hibernia were at Malta; and at Gibraltar the Procris and /tadpole, the American frigate Constellation, and the Italian corvettes Valera* and Euridice, and frigate Re O.lantaomo. The Spanish government have ordered for the eventtalitie s of the service the assembling in the port of Malaga of the war steamers Baenaventina, Alerts, Lepanto, and Ceres, sad the Alava and Santa Tama, at Alicante, on account of the recent occurrences at Melilla. The Spanish frigate &p.m= and sloop Concordia arrived at Cadiz on the 9th. The Spanish screw frigate Petronila, 34 guns, was wrecked on the Bth ult., while entering the port of Mariel, in the waters of the Havannah. The crew snooerded in taking ont the guns and stores, but the hall and machinery were expected to be lost. Her Majesty's troop ship Greaten left Gibraltar, on the 9th inst., with the Sod battalion of the 7th Fusiliers, for Malta. The effect of the short supply cf rain lest season was beginning to be severely felt in the country about Tangier, where nearly all the wells and springs are dried up Intelligence from Mau* lays that the Spanish govern meat intends sending a division of 5,000 men to Melilla in order to effect a settlement of the boundary question, and keep the Riffle= in check. Three Spanish war steamers were at Malaga, and others were expected there to convey the troops. It wt. also stated that the Spanish government bad demanded from the Em. perm of Morocco the presence of a body of Moorish troops at Melilla to chastise the Riffians for their recent aggression, and to prevent the Spanish garrison being molested in its occupation of the new limits. A Malaga letter says that the late attack was in ooneequenee of the Riff tribe not having received from the Sultan the promised ir.demaity for the ceded lands. The Gibraltar Chroside l adds:—"lf this were so one oan hardly blame the Rattans. They were clearly entitled to receive the stipulated price be. fore they allowed the Spaniards touter upon the permanent occupation of their lands, and might well demur to exchange the material guarantee for his Sherrifilan Majesty's I 0 U." The Madrid Constitutional says :—" The engagement with the Moors appears to have originated in the reluctance with which the tribes viewed their lards transferred to the Spaniards. Parties of omelets bad been for sometime em ployed in filling up theditches and levelling old Moorish works in the newly-ceded district, cud cutting down the prickly pear badges. The Rialtos viewed these proceedings with an unfriendly eye, and continuing Moan the soil theirs after it kas been ceded to Spain, assembled in great numbers and attacked the oonvict guard. The governor sent for rein• foreernente, and upon some ooinpanies of the Verrpurs and Fijo de Ceuta regiments coming upon the ground, the Moms were driven back. Desultory firing between the Moors and Spanish troops was kept up till sunset, when the latter withdrew to the fort. The 94 Moorish swimmers turned out to have been Moan who were inside the walla of Melilla for the purpose of trading when the attack was made outside, and who ware detained se a measure of preointioo."

She then picked up two stones and hurled them at his win dows. Two panes of glass were broken.
