. sanctioning in some degree the notion that the comma law was to be altered. They were asked to legalim the ema hindmost of the religious orders; he most heartily echoed the eloquent appeal of the hon. member for Oxford, that the hones would refuse such a request. Hr. GLADSTONE said there were several arguments of • general nature which he could not but think ought to be set aside in arriving at • decision on the question before the house. Frequent allusion had been mode to the aggressive activity of the church of Rome in this country. He was among those who deplored the effects of that activity; but it was not • jut consequence of suck regret that they should be impelled by it to a precipitate conclusion on • question like the present. (Hear, hear.) They must look at the questien upon its merits, and not erideavour to stop religious activity by political enactments. (Hear, hear.) They ought, in justice and common sense, to look to the "seal and fidelity of those who professed their own religion for the defence and dissemination of their religious principles. (Hear, hear.) It had been said, indeed, that there was no practical grievance. Here, again, was a con Mutation whirls ought not to weigh. Wounded feelings were, at ell events, alleged ; and it appeared to him undeniable that the woonded feelings of a perti n of their fellow.eubjects, in default of positive ob jections telling the other way, afforded a good reason for interfering. It bad been urged that there was danger of re-awakening clamour on this question by fresh legislation. Although there might be such danger, owing to a variety of circumstances, yet, on the whole, he felt that they must look to the justice of the provisions con. mined in the bill. If those provisions were unjust, it could not be neceseary . to resort to fears and clamour in eider to procure their rejection ; if those proviaions were just, they must trust, as they had so often trusted, and seldom in vain, te the good feeling of their fellow.countrymen. (Hear, hear.) As regarded the first portion of the bill, which pur ported to repeal statutes, or portions of !statutes, antecedent to the act of 1829, he should have been very glad to have hoard, either from the iaw officers of the mown, or from the Hoots Secretary, a more detailed state moot of the present condition of the law, a subject upon which he felt himself very greatly in the dark. With re vict to the first portion of the ball—touching the Act of Supremacy—the lit of Elizabeth, he did not think that afforded any sufficient ground for going into committee. The first clause of the bill quoted verbatim et Menthe the clause of the Act of Supremacy which the hon. and learned gentleman proposed to repeal. Looking at the structure of this clause, Le found that it might be thus abbreviated " If any person maintain the jurisdiction of the Pope, and shall be thereof lawfully convicted or *Minted according to the common law of the realm, he @hen suff, r such and such penalties." It was perfectly true that the repeal of the act in words only went to destroy the penalties, and not the rest of the clause. But how did the matter then stead ? Why, they had half a sentence upon the etatuto-hook with no meaning whatever ; and the words, " If any person should maintain the jurisdiction of the Pope," etc., would singularly enough apply to members of the church of England equally with Roman catholics. There was only one other of these acts on which he should venture to hazard en observation, viz. the act against putting into execution bulb, writings, instruments, and other super stitious things, proceeding from the me of Rome. The right hon. gentleman the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment-load stated, in general terms, that the repeal of them several sets had been recommended by the criminal law coaninissionen. As regarded this particular act, he believed the right honourable gentleman was in error. The law as it stoed, however, simply applied to soak bulls as were opposed to true obedience to the crown; and although it might not strictly be necessary, yet, as it was not is itself unreasonable, it afforded us ground for farther legislation. If Hear.) He thought,:howorer, they must all feel that the stabentntial question related to the act of 1829. (Hear haw.) For his own part, he would say that, although filly ssmilde of the force of those considera tions which went iodise that it was exceedingly unwise to Wen with settlements of long-contested questions, yet, jp*oisg himself la the position of his Roman catholic fellow satin* be hit that be could not, with jun*, and with a I =M at hol d ra P rre pl a es nti w rely iel :O tre a sert a l r em i t e t n o t i tiA . (Mars.) No one could seriously propound the doo trine that the provisions of the act of 1829 were emorities of great or vital moment to the established beentims of the country.

" of the 161•1 vielesest reibleal of Ihe set rt. he bed ewer beard eemeyhited d beim within the walls of that house, it must be evident that by going into committee they would mime a discussion which, would tend to disarrange the whole of the settlement which had been eff,eted—(hear, bear)—or, at least, bring on a series of religious bickering. and contentions which would have no end. He believed the more unimportant clauses of this bill had been introduced as a handle by which to attack the main provisions of the act of :829. (Hear, hear.) His right lion. friend (Mr. Gladstone) appeared to think that it might be desirable to make distinc tions between different religions orders. He did not doubt his right bon. friend's ability to frame provisions for that purpose. but he would be sorry to see the House of Com mons embarking in a discrimination of that kind. (Hear, hear.) It we. impossible that they could be adequately in formed as to the details of each sectety : all they knew was, that the members of such societies depended upon a superior, who might be a foreigner. On that account there h ad hitherto been retained in the hands of the government the power of dealing by law with the several religious orders in cases in which they might become mischievous to the community. The enforcement of the penalties provided was at present vested exclusively in the attorney-General, and he advised the house to pause before running the risk of creating applications to have the power of proseention plated in the hands of the public. Mr. HUME supported the motion, and observed, in allu sion to an observation of the right hon. gentleman who pre ceded him, that he had himself protested in parliament against the exclusion of Roman catholic" from the Irish chancellorship. Mr. CARDWELL said he would state in a few words the main ground upon which he should give his cordial concur. rence in the second reading of the bill. For two or three sessions parliament hod been engaged in discussions of a very delicate nature, tending to promote feelings which they all naturally desired to dismurage. He thought they might fairly hope that this session would not close without the dis cuanon being brought to a practical termination. He trusted that before the bill should go into committee the government would carefully weigh the actual condition of their Ramat catholic felloweubjects ; and if there were any presided grievances requiring to be removed he believed that on both tides of the Ileum there would be found almost a unani mous feeling in favour of their abrogation. (Hear, hear.) Mr. PARKER said that the arguments used on the other aide had not convinced him that any further centres lions should be made to the Roman catholic/. When they were told that the clauses sought to be repealed were no longer acted on, be would only say in reply that if they wereinoperative the peace of the country ought not to be disturbed by seeking their repeal. Mr. STUART rose enfold loud cries of" divide," and said he would state in a few words the reasons why he in tended to vote against the second reading of the bill. He would, however, observe, is the first place, that the lan guage which had been addressed to the house by the right hen: gentleman the member for Oxfori University was uttered under circumstances calculated to excite great sur prise. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentleman the Se cretary of State for the Home Department, did not object to the word eseledastical in the first part of the bill. His (Mr. Stuart's) objection went to the first part of the bill, because it seemed to him to trench on the supremacy of the crown in matters ecclesiastical, and if it was shown that such would be the effect of the measure, he was sum it would not obtain any further encouragement from the House of Commons. They were all agreed that the first part of the bill related to that part of the statute of Elisabeth which imposed penalties on persona who disputed the supremacy of the crown in matters spiritual or emlesiestical. It was the supremacy of the crown in matters eccleeiastical that was protected by the statute of Elizabeth, and was sought to be repealed by the bill before the house. The supremacy of the crown was established by the common law of England oefore the reformation, and the statute of Elizabeth was de claratory of the common law. Now, if repealed the statute of Elisabeth, they repealed anieli of the 5010131011 law on the subject of the in of the crown. ;Hear, hear.) With regard to what had fYlisa from the noble lord the member for Arundel he begged to remark :hat though they tolerated his opinions as to the power of the Church of Rome, they did not permit them to interfere with the legislative enactments of this country. The object of the common law was to prevent the interference of the gas of Rome in matter. relating to the supremacy of the mown—an interference which that church always sought to maintain. L bad been exercised in the reign of Edward 1., when the Archbishop of York, acting under the authority of the Pope, refused to induct the person who bad been Rre stinted to an advowson by the crown, and at this very time the Pope was exercising this interference by recommending the Queen's subjects in Ireland to disobey the municipal :awe of the country. For these reasons he would vote against the emend reeding of the bill. The house divided—For the second reading l6B Against 136-32 The bill was then read a second time.

A WEEK ago, we endeavoured to urge on the mem bers of the new House of Commons the absolute necessity of keeping their peculiar crotchets from interfering with necessary business during the present extraordinary session. Sufficient indication having been afforded by the notices of motion, that this well-meant advice was by no means likely to be uni versally followed, Sir J. PAKINOTON attempted on Friday to effect the same object by compulsory means. We have no doubt that he was justified in stating that nineteen members out of twenty approved of his proposition in private; nor are we at all sur prised that it was, nevertheless, summarily rejected. Private opinion and public opinion, that is to say, the opinion which is expressed in public, are generally somewhat at variance, and nowhere more than in parliament. The private opinion of the house is all in favour of common sense and of the despatch of business : public opinion looks to constituents and to the supposed theory of parliamentary privilgea. The house in its public capacity would not even notice the hint given by Lord Joss RUSSELL, that its private wish and judgment expressed, by Sir J. PAKINOTON, might be at least partially carried out by giving precedence to orders of the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It is some satisfaction to think that the members who are so jealous of the constitutional right of talking instead of acting, will be the first to troffer under the impending influx of useless loquacity and officious activity. We took the liberty of warning the House of Com mons of the impending projects of Mr. URQUHART and Mr. ANSTET fer occupying its time ; and it must be acknowledged that our forebodings promise to be fully realised. Each of them now threatens the introduction of a question which, if entertained by parliament, might well occupy its time till the next summer recess. Mr. URQUHART gives notice of an address calling on her Majesty to exercise the un doubted prerogative, which she undoubtedly does not enjoy, of summoning an Irish parliament at Dublin : sad Mr. ANSTET demands a sense of historical and diplomatic documents which, as they range over some thousands of years, would certainly not be capable of compression within the limits of an ordinary library. I To those who are aware of the peculiar political positions occupied respectively by Mr. URQUHART and Mr. ANSTEY, there IS something very whimsical in the mode in which these two singular allies have divided their labours. Mr. Cations= is the pro phet,, priest, and leader of the impeachment sect. For years - before Mr. Alarm emerged from his native Australian wilds, the ex-secretary of legation was animating a band of faithful followers with his own hatred, first of Lord P•Lemurrow, and incidentally of all other statesmen, English and foreign ; for it is a part of the creed, that all living politicians are con sciously or unconsciously the tools of the traitor of Tiverton. As the doctrine developed itself, it natur ally included a love of impeachments on their own account. The feet revere/10N BURKE for impeachui ILui WARREN rmos, and it would have supported Hstrritios if he had impeached Braes. With Mr. URQUHART'S party it may be said that . . . Tressoi shiny, mope . re—what's the resew 1 Whatever prospers, straight they call It treason. It might, therefore, have been expected that when Mr. URQUHART obtained a seat in parliament, he would himself have undertaken the public revelation of the doctrines of which he has so long been the exclusive raystagogne. Mr. AnnEr, on the other hand, is a catholic an Irish member, a professed repealer, and, indeed, an advocate of repeal in general, la was shown by his readiness to adopt Mr. CANNING'S proposition of restoring the Heptarchy. Among the believers in impeachment, he can at most be an Oman or an ALL; but the rank of the Mello n= of repeal is open since O'Commatt's death to any one who an secure it. Professing, moreover, to be a constitutional lawyer, Mr. ANSTEY might naturally have undertaken the task of proving that a prerogative exists in the crown of the existence of which no one was aware. The proposition for convoking the Irish parliament would, therefore, rather have been expected from him ; but dreamt., we suppose, will always go by contraries. The members for Stafford and for Yooghal have exchanged their parts, we have no doubt, with the intention of removing say prejudice which might exist either, on the ground of his presumed in advocating his favourite measure. Here, Mr. leurrav will say, is an impartial English member advocating repeal. Look, Mr. UEQUHART will cry, at this catholic, this Irish member, who never came Into personal collision with Lord PAL SERMON, and yet thinks that allay measure with which that minister was, or was not, concerned con clusively provee his guilt. The interchange of parts reminds us of nothing so forcibly as of the transparent tricks and melodramatic cunning with which EUGENE Sol and Mrs. TROLLOPE reprtusnt the Jesuits as moving society to its foundations. Mr. Atorrev's notice of motion for papers must be seen to be appreciated. We really cannot afford space even for an analysis of its contents. It is little to say that he requires all correspondence, and all other documents, which may bear on any diplomatic transaction of the last 20 years. The dealings of the Czar of RUSSIA with Turkey, Poland, and England, if they supply'the gist of the impeachment, occupy but a small part of the notice of motion. If so profound a jurist as Mr. ANSTEY would listen to an hum ble suggestion, we might remind him that the title conceded to was more than a century ago formally to the Czar by every court in Europe, including our own. He might as well, in a formal document, call her MAizeTv, after her klaxon prede cessors, Basilian& of Britain, as confine the Emperor to his title of Czar. But probably he would reply, that the diplomatic recognition of the imperial title was invalid and unconstitutional, if not procured by some antenatal treason on the part of the omni present Lord PALMERSTON. It is also very possible that the QUEEN is still in his estimation only the fklerative chief of the English heptarchy. Asengst other documents, Mr. ANSTEY demands the podallisa of all pap ers which illust ra t e " th e acneasd consequences " of the treaties entered into gse the reiviatka and government of Greece. For many o f th e of those measures we fear that th e hos. amber must be referred to the expounders of canonical prophecies, or, which would be belie, to his friends, the utterer. of =canonical prophecies. The causes must be traced from the ob scure records of the Pelasgian inhabitants of Greece, through the age of PERWLES and that of ALEXANDER, across the long records of Roman and Byzantine dominion, to the Turkish conquest, from which the history of the war of liberation, of the establishment of OTHO, and the Greek loan, will be naturally and easily deduced. Nor is Mr. ANSTEY less devious in space than in time. Wherever English policy has travelled, the denouncer follows it for impeachment. In Naples, at Washington, at Constantinople, Algiers, and Simla, he finds evidence to support his charges. If Lord PALMERSTON is the traitor whom Mr. URciu- HART and Mr. ANSTEY think him, his simplicity in providing the means of detection is as remarkable as his superhuman activity in evil. Our contemporaries have not failed to take hold of the salient absurdities which we have been describing, and which we noticed when they were yet below the horizon of public ridicule. There are, however, graver considerations suggested by such proceedings as these, than the mere amusement which is produced by the contemplation of individual follies and monomania& The world is ready enough to laugh at a mass of incoherent and improbable charges against our foreign policy ; but it would be well to consider whether parliament and the pub lic have done their duty in guarding our international transactions against censure and suspicion. Mr. Umansttar and his followers have at least this arr ment to use. If all that they say was true, the nation would be an accomplice in the guilt, for it has pro vided no security against it. For all practical purposes, a foreign minister is despotic and irresponsible. Par liament never controls dim—never even watches his course. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said some months ago, that the House of Commons troubled itself little with foreign politics, and it is disgraceful to the nation to admit that the statement was true. A neck broken on a railway, a potofskilly made thinner than the usual workhouse standard, will excite more public interest, and call out more practical and earnest remonstrance in parliament, than the most criminal misuse, by war or by treaty, of the gigantic power of England in the general affairs of the world. As far as parliament or the country at large is con cerned, Lord PALMERSTON might have done all that he is alleged to have done. It is true that such con duct would have been contrary to all reasonable pro bability, incompatible with his own interest or with common sense, and that it is unsupported by evidence. But it is not incompatible with the practice of parlia ment. The house was counted out on the Portuguese question. Parliament never gave an opinion on the Syrian or on the Affghan war. For many years it can scarcely be said that parliament has de liberately sanctioned any important act of foreign policy, except the treaties negotiated with America and with China by Lord ASHBURTON and Sir HENRY POTTINOER. Yet, during that time, parliament has been morally responsible for the use made of its sovereign power by agents from whom it never required an application for its sanction, and seldom even a subsequent explanation. When Mr. POLE, without the concurrence of the senate, com menced his war against Mexico, he probably knew that he had the support and concurrence of the most powerful party in the country. In Eng land no party is favourable to war or to egression ; but no attempt is made to guard against either evil by any safeguard but the prudence and moderation which may be found to preside at the Foreign-office. Feeling strongly the neglect of public duty of which all parties have been guilty in this respect, we should feel indebted to Mr. ANSTEY if there was any probability of advantage to arise from his exertions. But we cannot thank him for making patriotism ridi culous, and jealousy of national honour the subject of universal contempt. Every idle lounger who affects to despise foreign politics, every parrot-like fribble who repeats the cry that Indian policy is all fraud and violence, and who therefore infers that any parti cular act of fraud and violence in that empire is to pass with impunity, will welcome the laugh with which every man who has a sense of humour must receive Mr. ANSTEY'S pompous threats. He will na turally accept it as a sanction of his own self-satisfied inanity, and of the dereliction of duty of which par liament and the public have been guilty in matters of national policy. Mr. URQUHART is Lord PALMER sroN's best Mend, if Lord PALMERSTON wishes on any point to escape criticism or control. A dissatis fied inquirer into any part of our foreign policy may brave the general indifference of the public ; bat it would require considerable courage to face the impu tation of being a supporter of Mr. ANSTEY and Mr. URQUHART. AT a certain period of every year, just before the commencement of what is ca ll ed "t he severe wea ther," the public are sure to hear loud complaints from a certain district of the metropolis known as Bethnal-green. At one time, some gentlemen meet in the locality to make preparations for presenting a silk dressing-gown to the Sovereign, accompanied with a statement of the frightful distresses of the manufacturers. At another time, their appeal is ad dressed to the parliament, by whom they desire a law to be passed to make the people buy, because they are " Spitalilelds manufactures," articles higher in price, and inferior in quality to the productions of other looms. This year, as appears from a report published in yesterday's paper, the customary an nual memorial is to be addressed to the Queen Dow ager, to whom " the distress" is to be shown, and whose assistance and patronage is to be solicited. Her Majesty, it appears, has done more for Spital ' fields than any one else upon former occasions, and, therefore, the grateful people make an appeal upon her purse-strings again. Now, although we have real pity for the sufferings of the poor in Spitalflelds, we most enter an earnest protest against this constant repetition of the begging circulars. Spitaliields is suffering, but it is from its own fault. Its peculiar trade has failed it, and the people have not been willing to accommodate them selves to another mode of manufacture, or to the pro duction of another class of article. The consequence is, that the district is in a transition state, and the people who have no work given out for them, make no effort to cut out any for themselves. As in the case of Ireland, the constant repetition of charitable assist ance only tends to perpetuate this state of things. As long as you go on relieving "the distress," so long will the distress continue, because the people will have no motive for exerting themselves to remove it. The state of the poor in London, generally, is likely, during the su cce eding winter, to be more than ordi narily depressed, and Bethnal-green no doubt will share in the general depreseion. But there are public bodies fully established in the esteem of the benevo lently disposed, which act as conduit-pipes for the relief of those really deserving cases of want which arise from misfortune, accident, or sickness. From these source', as we are prepared to show, should necessity require, Bethnal-green already receives a dis proportionately large amount of assistance. During the present year, relief from these mines has been far greater than anal. And we are prepared to contend that the liberal relief of cases which come under the heads we have indicated, is the only description of relief which the benevolent public can be properly called upon to afford. To talk of twisting a whole district and a whole trade, which is and has for years been gradu ally decaying, is absurd. In such cases as these, the law must step in to the succour of the poor, and those who contribute to the rates will expect the law to do its duty. . . . Whether the law relating to the poor is properly administered or not in the particular district to which we refer, is another and a different question. At the meeting on Monday night loud oomplaints were made of the mode of administering relief in the workhouse of Bethnal-green. From all that we have heard from time to time, we believe the complaints referred to are not by any means unfounded. We recur to several police reports which have appeared in our own and in other papers of previous dates, from which it would seem that the Bethnsl.green guar dians have set up a code of " standing orders " for themselves, which operate with the greatest hardship and injustice on the poor. . One of these standi ng orders is, that no representa tion of distress from a clergyman of any denomination shall be attended to. Thus, if a minister, in the course of his daily visits to the dwellings of the poor, finds an unfortunate person dying of destitution, his representation of the fact to the workhouse authorities of Bethnal.green only ope rates, as it were, to dimluslify the sufferer from re ceiving parochial rehet These regulations, and such u these, require looking into, and if the poor-law com missioners, whoever they may be at the present time, reran or tit glect to inquire, the Home Secre tary should be at once appealed to. We believe if ao open, fair, and candid inquiry was prosecuted in Bethnal-gretn, it would be Mund that the very harsh and cruel conduct of the workhouse authorities of that peculiar locality has had very much to do with that depressed condition of the people which is the subject of so much present complaint. PARLIAMENTARY Nottingham is divided against itself. Its representatives—the two kings of rent ford, late so amicably smelling at the same rose— have divided themselves, and gone to buffets in the one chair they occupy. WALTER has been " poking his fun" at FEARGUS, and FEARGUB has rapped WALTER over the coxoomb. Envy hath done this. FEAROUS O'CONNOR, Esq., is indeed a man for a raw M.P. to be jealous of. Nothing can be imagined more different from another than the resuscitated FEARGUR who has again emerged into the House of Commons _ “ Like re-appearing star, Lake o glory from afor,” than the same FEAROUS in the same house, before he was drummed out of " the tail." Then, albeit at times truculent and apt to bolt, he was snubbed and kept under by the mighty master to whom he re peatedly alluded on Tuesday . night in dark myste rious phrase. But now he is jaunty and self-poe m:wed, like a man conscious of sitting on his own bottom. Seated on the foremost bench of opposition, with PEEL'S bland smile and GRAHAM'S grim look on one hand, with BENTINCR'S leader glance and Dis- RAELI'S downcast eye on the other, he looks like the old Roman god TERMINUS, placed to mark where the one party begins and the other ends, or like a con stable places between the CAPULETS sad MONTAOUES of conservatism, to keep the peace. While the rivals keep scowling at each other, PEARCUS interchanges some pleasant jest with either, at which both smile. And when he rises, as on Tues day night, to mike a motion, how conscious he is of his own important and independent position ! With a glib assurance, he pumps up gushes of ignorant learning, varied and relieved by the most inconsequent and contradictory remarks. It is obvious that, like his countryman, Doctor O'Toote, he is quite aware that he knows nothing of what he is talking about, and counts upon outfacing exposure by his volubility and self-possession. Nor is a strong spice of mischief wanting in this strange compound. He enjoys the discomfiture of ministers prevented from proceeding to business by his impenetrability to delicate hints ; he enjoys the grave face of Sir ROBERT INOLIS while he fetches a blow at protestant intolerance ; above all, he enjoys the blank faces of the repealers opposite on hear ing their good things said before they can get them out. Laugh with him, or laugh at him, he cares not so long as the house laughs and listens; for he knows that this will strengthen his hold on the mob who are silly enough to pin their faith to him. With an im perturbable good-humour—the result rather of obtuse feeling than a kindly disposition—with a faculty of talking nonsense with such fluent self-possession that it almost sounds for the time like sense, incapable of even conceiving a principle or taking real interest in a cause, and wholly engrossed with the task of keep ing the position he has attained by years of incessant activity, he can neither be put down nor put out. The zest with which the honourable member for Nottingham obviously enjoyed being the lion of the evening was gall and wormwood to his yoke-fellow in office. Mr. WALTER, while thrown into the shade by the cornecations of his colleague's buffoonery, felt like Sir Andrew Agueeheek when Sir Toby Belch was in excellent fooling. "He does it with a better grace, bat I do it more natural." That Mr. WALTER, in point of taste, talent, and acquirements, is quite equal to his colleague, may be granted ; still it was rather rash in him to contend in public for the laurel of buffoonery. In the first place, he has a share of that constitutional, proud shyness, attaching to all Englishmen, which incapacitate s them for en tire success in this particular walk. In the second place, he lacks the experience of his rival —he has not, like him, performed the part through all the provinces, qualifying himself by these repeated rehearsals for an engagement in the great metropolitan_ theatre. Heedless of these drawbacks, Mr. WALTER attempted to cap Joe Millers with his colleague, and was, of course, put down. To make the matter worse, he lost temper at his discomfiture, and broke out into vulgar abuse of all Irishmen, when he only meant to indulge in badinage at their expense. Nottingham has reason to be proud of her mem bers. It would be difficult to find other two in the House of Commons, running in couples, so well paired for a cat-and-dog life. Net viget quiequem Aral* ant mem:dom. True, it is not easy to discover what advantage their constituents can derive from the services of gen tlemen, one of whom interrupts the real business of the house to ask for a committee of inquiry into the history of Ireland from the days of the Saxon EDOAR, while the other in turn interrupts him to relate e metamorphosis unknown to Orin--of Irishmen into negroes. Bat, if not useful, they must at least be admitted to be characteristic representatives; for surely no constituency could ever have returned such a pair to parliament unless leap/ red with full bumpers of Nottingham ale. The Paris journals of Monday and Tuesday are, as they have been for some time back, unusually b arren of domestic news. The reform banquets go on with a tiresome monotony. A meeting of this kind has just been held at Amiens, attended by seven hundred guests, at which M. Odilon Barrot took a leading part. The mediation proposed in Swiss affairs engages a large portion of the press. A menacing article, is which the eventuality of an interposition by arms force in the ease of the present project being rejected is allowed to be inferred, appears in the Journal des Debate. As to the rest, the article is, as usual, nu ll measured in its abuse of the federal government The Nouoelliste, of Marseilles, says that the steamer Merovee, arrived at that port from:Algiers on the 4th, brought the important news that Abd-el-Kader had written to the Duke d'Aumale to treat for a paice with France, and that in consequence of this the Duke resolved immediately to leave for Oran. The Courrier de Marseilles, of the same day, hss another version of this report, agreeing, however, in the main facts of Abd.el-Kader seeking to negotiate, and the Duke d'Aumale leaving for Oran. The well-known and eccentric Marquis de Boissy is about to lead to the hymeneal altar the not less celebrated Countess Guiceioli, the friend of Lord Byron. It is now decided, it is said, that M. de Barante is to have the Naples embassy, and not that of London, as formerly stated. The Madrid mails of the 30th ult. and let instant have arrived. Those of the 2nd are still due. A most im portant and interesting debate took plane in the Cortes, in which the government was violently assailed by Senor Cortina, and defended with considerable dexterity and success by Gen. Narvaez. The speech of the general is represented as having produced an immense impression, especially that part of it which referred to T.spartero, who, as Nerves's declared, is free to return to Spain and to take his seat as a senator in the Cortes, and that he, Nereus, will be the fore most to take him by the hand, and cordially welcome him back to his country. At the moment of the de parture of the mail of the let, Senor Olosaga had oc cupied the tribune, and be= observe on the royal speech and the proposed A grand dinner was given by her Majesty to the ministers on the 30th. Our advice, from Berne are to the 3rd. General Dufour has returned to that city Irv., in order to avoid any personal ovation. The mission at Paris, rendered vacant by the decease of M. de Teohann, is variously assigned by popular report. f inned Dufour and Colonel Rilliet-Constant are mentioned as likely to succeed to it. Mr. Peel had not communicated officially to the president of the Diet the note offering the joint me diction of the powers on the part of England, nor was it expected that he would do eo, that duty being reserved for Sir Stratford Canning, whose arrival was daily expected. The following is the note transmitted by M. Bois le Comte, the French ambassador, to the prudent of the Diet, announcing the intended mediation of the powers. At the time this note was ordered to be sent, M. Guizot was ignorant of what has sines 611110. pired. The smaller cantons and the Valais have aims submitted, and the Sooderbund is dissolved, and its troops as well as the reserves of the federal army disbanded.

The government of Neufchatel had consented t o p, into the federal treasury its double contingent money, and had renounced prosecuting about thr ee score of radicals of the mountain, who, in cont empt of its interdiction, had gone to serve as volunteers k the attack on the canton of Friburg. In conformity with resolations adopted in a pop e . lar meeting held on Nov. 27, the provisional gove rn , ment of Lucerne passed a decree on the 30tk, eluding the Jesuits for ever from the canton.

We have letters from various parts of Italy; fr om Turin to 2nd Dec., from Leghorn and Florence to the 29th ult., and from Rome to 28th. Cardinal Ferretti was appointed secretary of manorial!, a measure pre, liminary, as was feared, to his retirement from the cabinet. The Popolo of Sienna says that the difference between Tuscany and Modena will be compromi se d , Musa and Carrara being annexed to Tuscany, Pon. tremoli to Piedmont, and Qua:della and Ficiumo to Modena.

A splendid celebration took place at Rome on the 24th on the occasion of the installation of the net municipal council. Cardinal Alfieri is appointed Preaident of Rome and of the Comma, and not, as announced in some journals, President of the Municipality. It is announced in these letters that the evacuatire of Ferrara is agreed on, and that moat of the military poets of that city have been already given up to the I pontifical troops. The prevailing opinion at Rome was that, in the question raised by M. Parad isi , the Prince Tortoni & would fail, and that his monopoly of salt and tobscoi would cease. His brother, Carlo Torlonia, had re. signed the colonelcy of the national guard. On the 28th, the English squadron, consisting d two ships of the line, two frigates, and a steamer, arrived at Leghorn. The steamer left again on the 29th. This squadron, commanded by A dm iral Par. key, had come from Naples, and was expected to re. main for some days. FRANCE.—THE INFLUENZA.—Ten thowand sons an said to be laid up with the grippe (influenza) et Lille, but no case has terminated fatally. At Toulouse them are, it is said, 15,000 persons, in a population of 53,000, suffering from that malady. AUSTRIA.—PEEsEuEn, Nov. 28.—The liberal feeling is showing itself strongly in Hungary. At the sitting of the State, of Hungary, held at Presburg on the 27th alt after debates which had lasted six days, the address pr by M. Louis de Kossuth, deputy for the Comitat of Perth, and leader of the opposition, was carried by a majority of four votes. The address proposed by Count Stephen de Sucheny obtained only 22 votes. This triumph of the op position produced such an effect on both parties that the States were too deeply impressed to continue their laboan, and, upon the motion of M. Kossuth, the sitting was ad journed THE CHOLERA Is Ausram.—lt is stated in a letter from Vienna that the cholera has broken out in the circled Tarnopol, in °said', and that it was raging with a oertsie violence.

On the 4th of that month a quorum of the senators was not present in the capital, notwithstandiag the urgent summons issued to them. Some senators had not arrived, and others, finding too few of their colleagues as sembled to admit of their proceeding to business, had re turned home. An anxious desire was expressed, no budget having been voted, that the members of the representative chamber might be present in euflisient number on the day , appointed for the opening of the extraordinary Beacon. The opposition journal criticises keenly and Immo untly every measure of the ministry, This will have the good effect of making ministers cautious as to the ob. serums of constitutional forms. It is at the same time a proof of their respect for constitutional freedom. A smart shock of earthquake was felt at Port-au-Prince on the 26th of October. It lasted about 15 seconds, but did no harm. The weather was calm and serene at the time. A dull noise, followed by a report compared to that of a cannon under ground, preceded it. COLONIAL. WEST INDIES. TRINIDAD.—At the time the mail was despatched the weather was rail very hot. There had been a fine clear dry atmosphere for some days. The dry season was evidently approaching. Vegetation wee in a healthy state, and prospects of the planter for next year most favourable. Trade was dull. In consequence of late accounts from England a degree of hesitation in purchasing private bills of exchange was apparent. Money was hard to be collected. Bank exchange at 90 days was 480. Large quantities of goods had recently arrived, and more were expected for the Christmas trade. The shipments of produce for the year were drawing to a close. The whole produce shipped up to the 3rd of November is stated by the Trinidad Spectator as follows :—Bagar 27,308 hhda., 1,999 trot., 5952 brie. Mo lasses : 11,290 Wilda., 349 trot.

Only thirty immigrantaitad reached the island during the interval between the packets, and these were all from the neighbouring colonies. The Dalhousia, , ,with Madeiran immi grants, was daily expected ; she was reported to be in the Gulf, but the current wee supposed to be too strong spirt her.
