Tax Anniversary has agate some round which reminds as, exciting ever new surprise, of the num ber of centuries during which the Religion of Peace and Goodwill has been preached and professed. not only in Europe bet in the world. With ever new garprise, because of the discrepancy between the pro !gallon of Christian nations and the condition of human affairs. It may be doubted whether the spectacle could ever have been more striking, and we may add more affecting, than now. Considering that, as has been said by both BACON and Pascal., " prosperity is the promise of the Old Testament, " and adversity of the New," it can never be matter of astonishment that wars and persecutions exist in the world ; because it is the lot of every high faith to be persecuted by all the lower. It can be no wonder that at this time of day there should be such difficulties as exist between Mussubman and Christian ruse in Turkey, each feuds as are troubling Syria and Arabia, such revolts as have occurred in India, and such inter national struggles as mud sooner or later take place between China and the Western nations. Eighteen centuries are not ennugh to extinguish strife between faiths so fundamentally different as the Pagan, the Mohammedan, and the Christian. Nor will any number of centuries establish goodwill between the lowest and highest classes of the moral hierarchy. Those who are " little lower than the angels " will never have the goodwill of the self-seeking and the corrupt. Ambition will rage, envy will per tyranny will oppress, licentiousness will destroy, while the human rue, with its range of passions, endures. Thus there is abundant provision made for that adversity which is the promise of the Gospel. The marvel is about the mutual ill will and hostile demonstrations among Chris tiana themselves —among Governments which pro tege to be founded on Christian theories, and for Christian objects---among such nations, such societies, and such dames as we see to-day at war, actually or in prospect. A survey of the Christian portions of the two hemispheres on this anniversary is se strange that we can hardly say whether it ie moat afflicting or fearfully absurd. The head of Christendom is the representative at once of tyranny and of slavery. He is the slave and the tool of France ; he dreads Russia ; and he is the butt of the contempt of the whole Italian peninsula; and, on the other hand, be robs Jewish parents of their child, and under his rule there is not a human liberty that men can exercise without fear, nor a hope of justios and security left among his wretched subjects. As for Naples, the , natural calamities which have afflicted the two king doms—the earthquake, the storm, and the blight— I are light in comparison with the suffering inflicted by the Sovereign who makes more bout of his reli gion than the Pore himself. The dungeons, the madhouses, the graves are the testi monies to his Christian rule ; and the starving minds of his noblest subjects, and the starving bodies of the poor, show what he has dose towards cherishing peace on earth and goodwill among men. In Russia there is evident progress--programs even within this year; but the conflict with evil is only began ; and whether the ancient popular liberties will be restored daring the present reign, and tbs corruption prevalent in high places effectually checked, most be doubtful for some time to cane. As for Germany, the prospect is uncertain and chequered, as usual. The lapse of Prune' is 1 1 arrested, and the best qualities of men have a fairer chance of development there than any of us antiei pated a year ago; but Austria a meditating war.' and if that war is called defensive, it is in defence of a rule so oppressive as to make Christianity a laughing-stock to the victims of that tyranny which tempts to Atheism. There is retrogremdon there, too. as saeroachmut of Peril rule over whole districts and peoples which had enjoyed some of the benefits of the Reformation. Things look brighter in the Sub alpine kingdom, where the purer traditions of an older frith afford a promise of a new Reformation. Ills Waldenses regard themselves, and are regarded by others, ma the appointed agents of a new RA:forms ties—qualified as they are by not being Protestants beeines they have never been Catholics. While they are free and dowelling, as they now are in Piedmont, the depression of the Catholic nations amidst which they live is not hopeless, and the Gavel, which the Apostles themselves might search for in vain among their neighbours, is kept safe till the day for it. new diffuswa comes. This is what those ancient Christians themselves declare, when strangers gees at their new cathedrals, and observe their speeedieg numbere and influence. In Spain all is yet dust and ashes; bet in Portugal there is life and hope. The Sovereign there mane to know something of the religion he profemea. Re lives for hie people—not ally •isiting the fever hospitals in pings* time, but exerting himself to govern well. Throughout the whole range of Catholic kingdoms', his, the smallest, is the brightest in such hope as depends on the personal character of the Bavertign —a precarious reliance, bet one for which the nations have learned to be thank I al. Of France it is needier to speak. All free nations are agreed as to the weight of its calamities, and the mockery with which superstition insults its woes. Sainte-days, chapel-building, and gins to the Virgin are the mint, anise and cumin, which are substituted for the weightier matters of the Christian law. All mem retegare there the eine and agreeing, which mei everywhere ander the rids of Yamashita.. France is no happy illustration of Christianity in its 1 nineteenth natality. Nor do Christian libertine flonrish in Protestant Sweden: and the:worst of the matter is that the intolerance resides in popular opinion, and not in the .61(1,111 of a ruler. The King is more liberal than his people, whose clamours for the pan ishiannt of oonyersion from one Church to another show them to be a long way from the Religion of Peace and Goodwill. In the Western hemisphere there is a great Chris tian nation, spreading fast is its Catholic and Pro- testant sections. Instead of ganging its character, and sketching its prospects, we may simply refer to the published opinion of its President. The picture he draws is anything but a re presentation of an Age of Peso° end Good will. International disputes, sectional strife, political corruption, judicial degradation, with negro-slavery at the bottom of all the trouble, is but a sad epcotscle to Christian eyes : but in that case there is the consolation that the strife and struggle are themselves a promii 3of good. Where there is room for oonfl;ct between right and strong, the right may prevail; and, at all events, the oars. is not lost. The Pilgrim Fathers may yet be jinti ned of their ehildren—a multitude of them, worthy of that parentage, being brave in the battle at this hoer. As for ourselves, we cannot but believe and feel that, amidst many faults and failures, we are happy and progressive as a people. We see our course clear, or we believe we do. While the world is full of rumours of war, we have only pacific desires and intentions, though eager to manifest sympathy with all who are called to fight for liberty and against wrong. In order to Peace, we sell willing and anxious to be fully provided for War. We shall count no cost which may be necusary to sustain our manifest strength as the leader of the free nations of the world ; and Englishmen have abundantly proved, within a few years, that they are as strong in oppo sition to Limier force as any Christian martyrs ever were. The spirit of liberty is, we hope, u high and bright within us as in the most trying seasons. At the same time, the goodwill seems to be strengthening and expanding, if we may judge by the amelioration of class distinctions, the extension of education, and the way in which vice as well as ignorance is taken in hand for remedy. Far from us be all Pharisaical busting ! We have ilia enough upon oar shoulders to impel us to eos in' wrong rather than claim praise. Bet the question is not whether we are a perfect Christian nation, but whether we are in the way of improve ment. We trust that we are. Circumstances are favourable, on the whole. There is less hunger, more chance for everybody, than of old. 'There is domestic virtue in high places ; and, with political privileges, there is and will be a growth of social conscience. We cannot say that within its own bounds the practical religion of the country is one of unmingled peace and goodwill ; for theological strifes are sore hindranoss to our best schemes, and the mart ineradicable root of bit terness in the pleasant places in which oar lines have fallen. Yet have our Jewish citizens obtained justice since the last birthday of Rim who told us that all men are brethren ; and this is an encou ragement to hope that we may get rid of other un- I Christian bigotries in course of time. Meanwhile we have every reason to greet this return of the day with cheerfulness and good hope of every kind. In this spirit we beg to wish to every household, from the palace to the cottage, a merry Christmas and a happy new year. THE EXPRES3, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 25, 1868. Clu Court.

The three candidates were M. Brochant de Villiere, Coant Georges de Lercelefou cauld, and the Marquis de Labrife. On this occasion a new system, 'only very recently devised, was followed. The government announced officially that they had no candidate, and wished it to be supposed that all were alike independent. At the same time M. Brochant de Villiers was sup ported by government influence, and he alone spoke of the Emperor in his adders. The result of the poll is as follows: Ds Villiers . . . 8,254 Laroohefoucauld . . 7,874 Labriffa . . . . 6,394 The election is void for want of a sufficient pro portion of voters to the constituency, and is post poned till Sunday and Monday next, when the relative majority will; be conclusive.

An incident which has just occurred in the Grand Council of Berne baa given rise to considerable ex citement. The Bishop of Bile and the authorities of the cantons in his diocese had planned the estab lishment of a Roman Catholic, seminary at Solent* for young men intended for the priesthood. Mgr. Bovieri, the Pope's charge d'affaires, interfered in the matter, and raised an opposition on the part of the Holy See. The President of the Beene government laid the matter before the Grand Council, and, in spite of the contradiction of the Pope's legate, sup ported his ease by the production of papers in its defence. The Bused and the Gautto de Berne pro pose that a complaint shall be lodged against Mgr. Bovieri with the federal authorities, that his recall shall be demanded, and, if neosseary, that his pass ports be sent him. AUSTRIA.
