TO OUR be comeguence of the absorption of space by the mann at proceedings in Parliament, the Proprietors have determined to liens a DOUBLE NUMBER an SATURDAYS, so se to prevent the postpone. mist et interacting matter. No change will take piece in the price. The THIRD DOUBLE NUMBER of the EXPRESS will appear on SATURDAY NEXT, Feb. 28. Tax Second Report of the Civil Service Commis sioners is now before us. These Commissioners, it will be remembered, began their operations in the meth of May, 1846, under an order in Council, by which they were empowered to examine candidates Sr the Civil Service. The experiment was novel, sad the first results were looked to with oonsidas tie mi.:shy, though perhaps the Report which has jest been published will possess still we interest sir those who are desirous of testing the ultimate rae ass of the experiment. When a new plan is brought into operation, the effect of which met be to rid the Mil Stevie* of incompetent persona at the expense no doubt of much private dimappoistment, it is ab solutely emential, as the Report says, that, with regard to the principles of the examinations sad their general results, the Commissioners should be explicit and anreserved. For it is natural to expect that in some instances *Rohm will be cast on the propriety at the judg ment exercised by the Commissions in rejecting candidates, and it is therefore asemilial that the public should be tally satisfied of the fairness of the examination. But it is no Ism modal that ths Oommissimen should exercise their lintslime milk perfect freedom, and without being abject be amp' thing like external control. It is clear, harm", that something like interference has been attempts& by some elthe Public Departments; eadwienwitiMee• ran Replan& the C 011121640111711 for the dent wiii they have thought fit to make in behalf of Oak nu inonedeaes. In order to show the massair of being explicit and unreserved in their In port es to the results of the examkaliem s the Cseassionimers say : "We see the we Odin' of adopting this cane Mum we hit waraelvia obliged to nine hilinesties wills spent to the details Of iailvHaal enniedina doting qua this view, we Mined Se meek is the request of ewe et the pile dqpnessees te -*suit to it the eninhailta et a amain le when we heed rinsed wave wring the reasseablense of the privilege we elained, len ea priasiple sad with retsina to coridwatisn of pulls eseenalwee.

If these 90 maws have ban appointed audit this ahem at the ceder in Osenell, there can be se doubt that the lam& of deportamate are quite satithd to exert the privilege seared to them by the mar.

If this be so, we antainly ie act uderstand in what seam their came can be said le be "adjudi cated on' by the Civil Berries Osemaimioners, or why they should appear in this Repeat at all. The natter requires some explanation, sad perhaps a q 11111116311 might be usefully put I. Waiters on the subject. But in whatever way these SO may have been appointed, it seems abundantly dear that the public ought to insist upon every civil servant being acquainted with the elements et abeatica. The number 99 is vary large, mid aneidering that the candied., ridested amount to 311.9 per cent. of those examined. it MOMS not unremismable to require that away @bleb eambiate should perm the ordinary exameimalism is writhe, spelllag, and arithmetic. If, indeed, se large a membar as 99--nearly a thirtieth of the mess atutbeated en by the COMMlLl timers—we admitted without any examination at all, it seems not impoesible that thiepratiticemay be drawn into as argument for an extended application of the same principle, and that I. test the exception may ultimately beams the general Me. At all events it is well that the alai d Departammte should know that the eye of the pubis is upon them, and that if the privilege in question is to be retained, it mast be exercised swiftly. ranoN OF GLASGOW: no writ itt del obeelina et • member to represent lo=la geollemel tir room of Mr. Jolla Macgregor, asap& the Chiltern limarode, erred lowa rid eserellog to teem et set red be amid Oa lop.

The Pays says: " It is affirmed that mantling to the draft treaty now ender consideration at Paris, England is to enjoy the commercial advantages of the most favoured nation in Persia. It follows that she will have the right to send Consuls to several determinate points in the interior of the empire and on the coast of the Persian gulf, but she will not be able to accredit Consuls to any of the posts of the Caspian Sea, because no other power has diplomatic agents there." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (room ova PARIS, WIDNI2DAT BVISINO. The religions quarrels between different sections of the church, which it wastefully hoped were lulled by the compromise of the action brought by the Univers against the Abbe Cognat, seem now likely to rage fiercer than ever. The coarse taken by the Minister of Public Worship in appealing to the Council of State against abusive acts of authority (appel mouse d'absts) of the Bishop of Moulin , has provoked an article in the Univers, openly avowing the most extreme ultramontane pretensions. " When," Pays this journal, " we think that our father (mean ing the bishop) is in error, and that it is lawflal for, or even obligatory upon us, to appeal against his acts, it is to the superiors and judges appointed of God that we should look for justice, and not to the stranger." Thus in the eyes of the Univers, the Council of State, to whom the law and constitution of France refer the conduct of Mawr in certain cases, is composed of "strangers," whore juris diction it ignores. This is openly flying in the face of the concordat, and the pre lates who support the Univers will find them selves in direct conflict with the civil power. Curiously enough, just at this moment a fragment of a letter from the Abbe Cognat to the Bishop of Evreux has found its way into print, from which it appears that the Abbe was forced by the autho rity of his ecclesiastical superiors to accept the com promise of the Univers' action against his own will and judgment. This was to be collected from the terms in which M. Dufaure announced his client's unexpected determination at the trial; but the new and important bet comes out, that the work of Abbe Cognat which gave um brage to the church party represented by the Univers, was composed by him under the patronage and supervision of the late Archbishop of Paris, the murdered Monseigneur Sibour. "It leas by the advice of the Archbishop," says the A bbe, "that I undertook this great work; that prelate of worthy and sad memory thought that the surest means to put an end to the unfortunate divisions in the church was to set forth and expound doctrines and texts. I worked for eleven months with the utmost assiduity, and during that time the archbishop came several times to encourage my perseverance. I hasten to add that I alone am responsible for the work, which he left altogether to me. But when the proper time came, he permitted me to give up my name, and to defend myself before the justice of my country. The four last lines that he ever wrote were addressed to me from the presbytery of St. Etienne-du-Montan hour before hisdeath. He begged me to commission M. Dufaure to defend him against the imputations which my adversaries had cast upon him, and which had given him much pain. Under these circumstances, you may conceive how little it was for me to renounce the defence of the rights which I had undertaken. • • • Such, Monsiegneur, are the facts. I venture to hope that your highness will think them a sufficient explana tion of my conduct while the cause was pending, and will understand how painful it must have been to me to sacrifice justice to obedience." It appears clearly from this that if the Archbishop of Paris had not been murdered, the Abbe Cognate nese would have been defended with the aid of all the influence of the metropolitan. As it wu, the Capitular Vicar- General of Paris—who exercised the archiepiscopal authority pro non., forced on a compromise which is lamely to turn oat anything but productive of peace in the church. The Emperor and Empress were yesterday at • grand carnival ball given by the Princess Mathilde. The Progree dr Pao de Calais was seized on Sa turday at its bureaux, and in all the post-offices. I am not aware of the muse. The Sleek has received a warning to-day for an article headed "The Session," in which it ex pressed a hope that the Corps Legislatif might be called upon to put the law relating to electoral bul letins on a more rational footing than it is left by the recent decision of the Court of Caseation, and also to abate the rigour of the decree of 18.52, which now governs the press. This warning will be pub lished by the Siecle tomorrow.—{We have received to-day's Slide. The " warning" is printed on the front page, and is stated to be the second.] The Bente declined a little at the opening of the Bourse to-day, but it being confidently reported that the Bank of France would to-morrow resolve to dis count at 90 days, prices recovered in the afternoon, and the last quotations were 70fr. for cash, and 70fr. 13c. for account, being a rise in each case of 10c. Mobilier rose 2fr. 20e. Railways were not very brisk, and there was but little change except in the instance of Lyons, which rose 13fr. in conse quence of a statement that the receipts this week had improved by 326,0001 r. I have already mentioned that the Donon Interna tional Credit Society is approved of by the govern ment The statutes are now before the Emperor. It is proposed to appoint either M. Ernest Andrf or the Marquis d'Audriffet to be governor; but I hear that neither of these gentlemen is very anxious to ac cept the office. The shares, I learn, are to be of 5,000 fr. each. They must not be negotiated within six months of their emission. A first instalment of I,ooofr. must be paid when the shares are issued, and a second of the same amount on the promulga tion of the statutes. The prosecution against the directors of the Napo. leon Docks for fraud came on to-day before the Tri bunal of Correctional Police. Five accused appeared at the bar; MM. Cusin, banker; Caasim . ir Legendre, banker; Adolphe Duchene de Fere, proprietor; Joseph One, merchant ; and Arthur Berryer, pro- prietor. The three first are accused of swindling and abuse of confidence, and the two latter as accom plices. The three first named amused appeared in custody, but Messrs. Orsi and Berryer were not. With regard to M. Arthur Berryer, the acts (accu sation expressly says that the 'barge against him is much lees grave than that against the others, and that he is only reproached with not having, as a government agent, given information of facts with which be ought to have been acquainted.

An unusual ecclesiastical ceremony, and one of peculiar interest to the host of British sightseers now in Rome, took place an Sunday morning at the Sixtine Chapel, being the consecration by the Pope himself of Dr. Clifford, nominated to the Roman catholic ace of Clifton. Dr. Errington, Archbishop of Trebizonde and coadjutor of Cardinal Wiseman, and Monsignor Mlles, Bishop of ',neon, assisted his holiness in the ceremony; at which were present also the new bishop's father (Lord Clifford), his brother, and a great number of spectators, especially English, whom the official journal, in its description of the ceremony, states to have been " grateful and touched to see the common father of the faithful direct his thoughts with such solicitude to the spiritual welfare of England." The same journal alludes to the distinguished persons in England "who are re turning every day into the bosom of the true church." Dr. Clifford, having gone through the numerous formalities of the consecration, was at last affection ately embraced by the Pope, and, being armed with the pastoral staff, poceeded, mitre on head and ring on finger, to exercise his new attributes by impart- ing his blesaing to the assembly before him. It is many years since a Pope consecrated an English bishop, but a French prelate, Monsignor Guillemin apostolic prefect of Canton and Hai-non in China , was consecrated by his holiness on the 26th of bat month. On Tuesday morning Pio Nono gave an widget proof of his not being agitated by the same species of alarm as that which keeps the King of Naples a prisoner within the guarded walla of his own palace. His Holiness went to the Caravita Oratory, where, after having adored the sacrament, he received the General of the Jesuits, and several fathers of the same order. He then proceeded on foot across the Corso, crowded as that central thoroughfare is during the present Carnival season, and walked to the nun nery of the " Vergini," where he went over the esta blishment, and paid some consolatory visits to the sick and infirm nuns. From the nunnery his Holi ness returned to the Vatican with his customary efluiPae. The Carnival has proceeded thus far without the slightest disturbance. There are the usual amount of capering harlequins and flour-faced clowns ; the usual collection of pretty women in contadina Co.. tunics, driving up and down the Corso, giving and receiving bouquets and confetti: the usual crowds of spectators at the tapestried windows and balconies engaging in missile warfare with the carriage pro menaders below ; the usual number of hate knocked off by the rough practical jokes of the French sol diers, and the usual number of eyes put out by the too furious pelting with lime and mortar bonbons, carried on by combatants unused to the due amenities of Camivul combats. Witticisms are, alas ! on the decline since the prohibition of mists , for the glibtontrneci arrotati, etarlatani and coati, whose legal discussions, quack harang ues, and per of pedigree, used to form the delight and amusement of the piazzas and calls, are now some what shy of holding forth to their fellow-citizens with their own natural undisguised faces. But the race, which winds up each day's entertainment, has the same bizarre character as ever, and the un mounted steeds gallop leisurely up the Corso, staring at the spectators to the right and left like frightened sheep, only urged onwards by the hooting, of the mob and the stimulus of the spurs dangling at their flanks. The great bell of the Capitol announces the setting out of the &nator on his state progress down the Corso. I hasten to put this in the post, and to wit ness the deportment of the new dignitary, Prince Orsini, surrounded by the pompous paraphernalia of municipal office.
