It must surely occur to an acute observer like Dr. Piyaer, that no single public institution can to permanently exempt from permeation by those principles which are accepted with regard to others. It is inevithble that men should carry over into the affairs of the religions establishment of the nation the principles which they apply to other public institution. And if there is one principle which has steadily gained force and 1 authority in this country for the last two hundred years, it is that which tends to acknowledge for all national purposes the equal title of different re ligious beliefs. It is true that this is an essen tially civil principle, and hitherto it has never been formally and explicitly proposed to apply it in all its breadth to the national Church. But as Dr. PtSZT and Mr. KSBLS perceive, events are alroady tending in that direction. It is impossible that, believing the Church to be the constituted depository and guardian of Divine truth, they should not be shocked at whatever tends to make its teaching no more than a reflection of the many-coloured and changing opinions of the day ; impossible that they should not strain every nerve to avert such a calamity. They stand on the ground of history, and are supported by the sentiment of Christen dom. But it is not easy to see how their claim, founded on principles strictly ecclesiastical, can be reconciled with that fair and impartial provision for the different classes of the community which enters as an essential constituent into our idea of an institution truly national. In such cir cumstances a conflict seems inevitable. /Mt Court. BALMORAL, Bar. 22. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Helema, walked in the grounds of the Culls yesterday morning.

The Prince of Wales has been in this country a fortnight to-day, and the greater part of that time has been passed in seclusion, but yesterday he made up for previous inaction, and went through the sights with perseverance worthy of a writer for Murray. First of all he visited Rosenborg, in company with the King and Queen, the Princess of Wales, the Prince Royal, Princess Dagmar, and the gentlemen of the suite. Rosenberg is coed- dered here to be A 1 as a lion, or, as the Chinese say, "first chop." It is an old castle, crammed with curiosities, which is included within the limits of the city, having been built in the time of Chris tian IV. It is an irregular building of red brick, in the Gothic style, with a high pointed roof. The curiosities are excessively curious, no doubt, but an exhibition all curiosities must of neces sity be tedious, and if the Prince of Wales carried away from Rosenberg any clear im pression of its contents beyond a general belief that a good deal of money could be raised upon them if they were pawned in Wardour-atreet he must possess a remarkable taste for archaeological relics. The castle, as I have said, was built by Christian IV., but this is its least distinguishing characteristic, as moat things in Copenhagen have been built by Christian IV. If Denmark has not been endowed with a great number of remarkable men, those whom she has raised have at any rata been remarkably energetic. Thorwaldsen has left sculpture enough to make the reputation of a score of artists, and Christian IV. seems to have been more industrious as a builder than Cubitt. The Bourse here dates from his time, and seems to me a more interesting building than Rosenberg. 1 It is a complicated mass of gable ends, cut in pat terns in the Elizabethan style, and is surmounted by the most comical thing in spires I have ever beheld, composed of griffins, or dragons, or some similar medieval beasts, who stand upon their heads and curl their tails together in the air. The royal party did the castle in a very conscientious manner, and then drove off to the palace of the Princess Amelia in the Bred Gade, where they lunched. At three they drove to the Gallery of Northern Antiquities, and wandered amongst more curiosities for an hour. It is very fortunate that the Prince visited this place, because it will have made him look back to Rosenberg as to a really delightful collection of interesting ob jects. Moreover, it is important to see the cut and dried sights of a town, because you cannot then be told that you have come away without seeing the very best thing in the place. The only way to enjoy a strange city is to rush through all the shows at once and have done with them. Of course the process will be disagreeable while it lasta, but it will ensure you a peaceful time afterwards in which you an lounge about the streets and look at the 1 houses and the dreesea of the people and the names over the shops, the carts, the carriages, the little boys and the beggars, the market women sitting by their stalls, and the soldiers drinking in the cafés, the get-up of the policemen, the wooden shoes of the peasants, and the thousand little ob jects that must interest an intelligent man in a city he has never seen before. You cannot look out of the window in a strange place, or walk a mile, or ask a passer-by your way to the hotel, without being amused in some way, and seeing the regular show,is always a waste of time. Shows are alike, all Europe over ; but there are rarely two cities in which the people harness their horses or exhibit their wares, or stroll through the streets in exactly the same manner. I wish Murray would publish a new guide to everywhere, in which he would tell tourists to walk about in all directions, and look up all the turnings, and notice their peculiarities, but on no account to go to any show which the inha bitanta told them was the most remarkable thing in the place. If you adopt this plan now, in de fiance of the existing customs, Murray's devotees 1 1 will be sure to say afterwards that you have missed the only thing really worth seeing, and you will be unable to put them down decisively, in spite of au inner conviction that they are entirely in the wrong. The Prince of Wales made a very sensible comment on the sight-seeing system, yesterday, by driving straight from the Gallery of Northern Antiquities to the stables belonging to the King's palace of Christiansborg. There, no doubt, lie found a great deal to interest him, for there are very fine horses iu Copenhagen—horses, indeed, which to an English eye seem altogether too good for the equipages to which they are attached ; their good points come out prominently (for all, except those drawing regular Euglish-built carriages) are harnessed without collars,and very simply by means of a broad belt passing across their chests, so that they are well exposed to view. In the evening the Prince dined with Sir Augus tus Paget, at the embassy. The Princess of Wales, the Princess Dagmar, and the Prince Royal were there, but the King and Queen did not come. By the way, a trifling little contretemps occurred to the Princess, as a dress, which she bad intended to wear, and which had been sent in from Bernstorf, was accidentally carried off again by mistake ; and her royal highness had to borrow one for the evening. At the Phoenix Hotel yesterday, the Prince bought some curiosities, a couple of old s words and powder flasks. It is all but certain that the departure for Stock holm will take place on Saturday. The Osborne bas left the moorings she occupied at first in the inner recesses of the harbour, where, by the way, she was so far in among the houses, that it seemed as if she had got up one of the back streets of the town and lost her way, and she is now lying off the custom-house, where she is open to the inspection of the public. She is about a couple of dozen yards from the shore ; and as the weather this morning is more beautiful than it has been since the Prince's arrival in the country, the water is covered by a fleet of little boats carry ing the visitors between the ship and the landing place. The Aurora is lying far out in the roadstead and the Salamis a little nearer. The frigate is, I believe, to start from here on Thursday ; she is a much slower ship than the Osborne, and it is ne cessary that she should have a good start. Da. PUSEY'S natural desire to infuse his own zeal into the minds of those on whom he must rely for support in his new Church movement has betrayed him into an excess of warmth of which he does not appear to be conscious. In his en deavour to make out a cue for the reconstitution of the highest court exercising esiclesisatkal juris diction in these realms, he has ventured on a free dom of imputation which makes it quite out of place to disavow anger—the only passion that can account intelligibly for his invective. It would be a pity, however, if the discussion of the great ques tions which he has raised in his letters were to be narrowed to an inquiry concerning the temper of an individual, however eminent. Dr. Pusry does not write like a man of the world, which he has never professed to be ; ho appears rather to think the style of a Hebrew prophet best suited to the particular work he has to do ; and perhaps he is right. At all events it is proper to acknowledge frankly that the recent judgment of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council which he impugns bas brought about a state of things which must be looked boldly in the face. It is vain to ascribe to cleri cal agitation the uneasy feeling which that judg ment has awakened. Mr. Exate, in his letter to a contemporary, has asserted, what we were cen sured for stating when the Judgment was delivered, that theaction of theJ udicialCoturnittee tends to do away with all dogma ; and as Mr. KEBLE considers that "a real Church cannot exist without dogma," be necessarily considers the destruction of dogma as "the annihilation" of his Church. This is not a, notion peculiar to High Churchmen. The Evange licals hold the same opinion, which is also that of the great body of the Dissenters. Defined doc trine as a rule of faith has in all ages entered as a characteristic into men's conception of the Church. It is only very lately that we have been familiarised with speculations as to the possibility of a Church whose members were not united in agree ment concerning the objects of faith. The martyrs and confessors of Christianity did not surrender themselves to sufferings and death merely to found a great philanthropic association under the patronage of Heaven, but in order to bear witness to truths which they regarded as supernatural in their origin and of priceless value. It is im portant not to lose sight of history in considering this matter, because, even if the old idea of a Church is as obsolete as we are told, and if public opinion is a better guide than the most venerable creed, it is not to be expected that the view of the nature of the Church which has prevailed for eighteen centuries is about to be suddenly and quietly surrendered. It is far more probable that we are entering on a contest which will be of long duration. Dr. PUSEY will certainly fail in the electoral campaign which he has an nounced, should ho be so unadvised as to prosecute it. The tactics of the Anti-Corn Law League, which he seems to have in view, are in this case inappli cable, and the battle cannot be fought on the hustings with any advantage to him or to his friends. Their grievance is one which the great body of the public find it difficult to understand. if they could affirm that some rivals, the Romanists or the Protestant Dissenters, were unduly pushing an advantage which they might happen to have over the Church, they might reckon upon getting general sympathy. But the complaint that Judges will not pronounce decisions in accordance with their views and wishes will only raise a presumption in common minds that the complain ants are on the wrong side. Dr. PLSEY demands liberty for the Church ; but the liberty he claims for it is liberty of organic and corporate action, whereas only a few people conceive of the Church as a distinct corporation, and of these probably the greater number connect that idesof the Church with power and authority rather than with liberty. On the other hand, everybody understands in dividual liberty ; it is the form under which all our institutions lead us to think of freedom, and unhappily for Dr. PUSEY it is in the name of individual liberty that his adversaries are arrayed against him. This is the principal source of the difficulty which the defenders of a traditional and strictly determined creed encounter whenever they have to deal with that portion of the general public whose habits of thought have not been moulded under ecclesiastical influences. The diffi culty is increased by the fact that, owing to the aspect which the Church of England presents as an institution established by law, every Englishman, as such, claims a voice in her affairs. The Bishop of SALISBURY, in his recent charge, has developed the idea of the Church as a divinely instituted king dom, having an integral existence and rights which cannot be impaired by an alliance with the State. This, no doubt, is the strictly correct view of the matter; but the majority of Englishmen who MR.

The alternative for the Pope will be either to make himself ti uly iodepeodector to give up the game. To make himself truly independent he meet have a strong, ciplioed, and therefore well-paid army, at least a tolerably governed people to whom life is note mere harden and the per manent contrast with Italy too palatul toasters, ands ream tie equal, or at least very nearly equal to the claims opoa it—for the 'oorrowiag power will be greatly diminished, if not almost extinguished by the sew arrangement. Hitherto the calculation has always been that Italy munt in the end ac cept the papal obligations • but the moat once fairly drawn sheet the Petal states, smiths mama debt fairly divided, Italy would not be expected to become responsible for future accumulations. The chance thee would not he small that without any aggressive move on the part of Italy, without any quarrel even with Rome, Rome would drop into her hands before long. The question for the Italian parliament will be whether these fair bat somewhat distant home, with the immediate gain of terminating the French interven tion, are adequate compensation for taking voluntarily an obligation to amigo what the Italian people look epos as a right. We understand that it was to some arrangement of this sort that Cesar himself looked as the Seal gelation of the Roman question, believing that if carried out in good faith it most sod, perhaps at a distant, but so yary distant, date in the possession of Rome. The choice certainly lies between some policy of this kind and a much mare actively revolutionary movement than the Italian government sagas at all prepared for. It is at least better, we think, than mere waiting, which is the polar at preheat ; and it will libeeete the natioe's energies for ►s equally asonsary and more serious business—the acquisition of Vesetia.—Sper• triter. — Despatches were sent yesterday from the Colonial oakmes to of he e governors of the settlements lea the West Cot ica. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. PARIS. FRIDAY EVENING. It is a subject of general remark that the Monireur has only given itself the trouble to announce in an indirect manner the Franco-Italian treaty. The official journal has contented itself with copying the inspirations forwarded yesterday from the Foreign office to the Rue Louvois. Perhaps no writer in the Moniker can compete with M. Paulin Limayrac in giving information so mysteriously worded that a coach-and-four could be driven through every phrase. To the Consfitutionnet has, therefore, been left the honour of announcing to the French nation the near termination of what in the first instance was a shameful seizure by Oudinot and his troops of the holy city. The ultramontane journals see in this reticence and in the two years which are to elapse between the ratification of the treaty and its fulfilment some shadow of hope that the old order of things has not yet been definitively pushed aside. They cannot, however, hide their anger, which escapes in every line they print, One journal indulges in remarks on the possible inability of King Victor Emmanuel to fulfil what he under ' takes and to protect the Pontiff ; " the French government has signed the death warrant of the temporal power." The Gazette de Prance is probably not in error. When France entreated Austria to make peace after Solferino, one of the treaties signed at Zurich was that the dispossessed dukes should return to Florence, Modena, ikc. This clause was not kept because the Italian nation would only hear of peace and not of a condition which would have been intolerable. The French government could not force Italy to respect a solemn treaty agreed upon at a personal interiiew between two belligerent Emperors. The Union, which, in its fright has visions of universal suffrage at Rome and the downfall of the Papacy, voted out by the most degraded population of any European capital, cries :—" Ah, you would call that &solution of the Roman question ! It is, then, aa we have said a hundred times, that the real Ro man question would commence in its most folinidable character, and that each step of the august exile would shake the universe." The Union, which demands permission to indulge in its grief, forgets that when the august exile was at Gaeta the world turned round much as it did in the days of Galileo. It will be curious to remark what effect the various sops thrown by Napoleon 111. to the elec tors of Paris and the large towns will have when the chambers meet to discuss his Majesty's speech and the four budgets. The Roman question was one of the most formidable points on which the speak ing ministers were pressed, and this has now been removed from the list of grievances. The Mexican was another question upon which the members of the opposition were strong and eloquent. A por tion of the expeditionary troops will be at home ; the force which remains will not weigh upon the budget, and the expedition will finish altogether at about the same period as the equally unpopular Roman occupation. Self government will have received a certain impetus from the creation of a chair of political economy and additional power* granted to the " Conseila Generaut." The government will hare a good many popular mea sures to show as a set-off against that impolitic affair of the "thirteen." M. de Sartiges has presented the convention to Cardinal Anton°lli. The Pope has held a con sistory at which the Cardinals Bonnechoee and Treviaanato received hats ; 23 biahope were created, of which 12 were in parnbus, and a new diocese created in Malta. An actress at one of the larger theatres is about to bring an action against a minor actress for imitating both her gestures and voice. Should the decision of the court prove favourable to the outraged artiste mimics will have to be careful. Bavaria, savage that Austria should so far insult the misfortunes of Otho as to recognise Greece, has determined on a pretty piece of vengeance—Bavaria will recognise Italy. The Bourse is calm. The Franco-Italian treaty is discussed, and transactions in the meantime remain in stab< quo. The Paris 3funde announces that an expedition is being prepared which is to amend the Nlger sad Tint the interior of Africa, under the °emoted of Captain Hagman. The expense is to be defrayed from private sources, and the expedition is highly approved and summed by the French government. IL de Quondam Lanimt, ter of Mario., has, at the expreme embossed of t►e Emperor, placed eight rifled minim as the disposal of Captain Heenan, together with all the ammunition required for the expedition. Captain Magoon boa purchased a galliot, and has fitted it out to sail or fight. He ha. freighted a mer chant ship, and he bakes with him four gunboats built at Toulon, which ►e intends to nee when the water is too Aglow io the river for his larger vowels. Captele Mag ian's monad in command, who is a retired officer of the imperial navy, is at present in Paris selecting scientific men, whets, and painters, sod likes ne s cargo of various articles to exchange with the natives. The military who are to form part of the expedition are to be commanded by Captain Gerard, formerly of the &wee, and great m eets are expected from this expelitiou, is pommies' which ao expense has bees spared. A Paris correspondent says that pony carriages love latterly become the fashion in the Champs Elysees and at the Bois de Boulogne. "If the present rage for ponies were to continue, it would be worth while to import some of the breed which roam over the mountains of Corsica —they have wonderful strength, and are very perfect I. shape. Bat it is a fancy that will not last among the grander dames of the great world, berranie their imitators of the elms of which London so liberally supplies Q 1 with so many specimens have universally adopted pony carriages, and as these turns-out are faultless, and ►he driving of the anonymons occupants equally so, the fair duchesses of the Faubourg Bt. Germain or of the Tuileries will have to leave the field deer to their antagenists." The town of Pe'rigneux three days ago received • painful shock. 31.

The pence who was c►arged to convey the melancholy Intelligeoto to M. Himmel executed his mission so abruptly, that the young lady, thinking that it was her intended husband who had died, was so effected that she expired in three days after from the effect of the shock. Nadar is said to be collecting, for the approach ing ascent of his giant halloos from Brussels, carrier pigeons, who are to convey letters from his fallow.travellen earth wards, post-aloes not being yet organised in the clouds.

Yesterday, the members of the Ripon and Clan, Agricultural Society, of which Earl de Grey and Riron in president, dined together in the Town-hall, Ripon, t• - ., el Mete the past success of the emaciation. EARL DE Ge' and RIPON, is responding to a toast t her Majesty's ministers, said—The task which we hail befor e us during the pest twelve months has been one of ordieary, difficolty, and one which you will easily belie s .. has caused no ordinary anxiety. (Hear.) We saw on in Europe an attempt, which we held to be =patina:: : and violent, to invade the rights; of a small nation, on th. part of certain of the great Powers, for otiects which yy. could not approve, and with which we could feel sympathy. We were entitled to lift up oar coke in . mon with the other great Powers of Europe who were t belligerents in the quarrel, and freely to express oar upon the questions at lane. We did so, but we were a. bound, as you know,—this country was not bound by ma . . treaty engagement which rendered it a point of hon. with us to enter upon the quarrel on behalf of Denman,. If that had been the case, her Majesty's present giver. merit would not have hesitated for • moment—(hear, —no government that could exist in this country we:; ! have hesitated at once to draw the sword in any ',tar t: in which the honour and good faith of England were et gaged. (Applause.) But the treaty to which En„,: was a party was one to which other great powers of hiroi, were parties also, sod it was right, it was wise, I the part of prudent men, that we should endeav,.., go hand in hand with those other powers. We were called upon by any special obligation to engage st,g;.. banded in • contest in which others were as much liter fated as we ; and although we made known our wympathit, although we did not hesitate to swore the other great Power. we were prepared to co-operate with them in any ram we might mutually agree upon, we yet did not feel justir.,,,d in *miring this oouotry in the enormous evils of war, wh et , we found France and Russia unprepared to drive matter. t o that extremity and unwilling to follow us in th.t (Hear.) I believe that in the course we then took, tbit is tu may, in the efforts we made for the preservation of peace.and in our determination not to bring war upon this country, we were sopported by the great body of the people of every shade of opinion. (Hear, bear.) The task wee, as I say, a it.dicult cm& We used every endeavour in our power first to avert the outbreak of war in Europe, knowing well what cool.. MO= extension such • war might possibly attain ; and when it did break out we used every endeavour to bring that war to a termination. It it quite true that those efforts made at the Conference in London were not success. fat ; but it is no easy task, as you well know in private life, to bring to reasonable terms two persons involved in hot quarrel, the am having on his side the weight of power, and wealth, and numbers, and of great population at his back, and the other having the strong, embittered feeling of iajostice, combined with weakness. (Hear, hear.) Well, then, I ray we did well, and 1 think it was oar right sad duty to make every effort we cote, on the part of England to pat a stop to the effusion of blood, while at the same time we hail, as I have already said, the support of the country in not heels' involved the nation to war, and in not having by such a step run the risk of attending those hostilities through the length and breadth of Europe. (Cheers.) And I belies that that course—a firm desire to maintain this country at peace—a determination to uphold our honour, to fulfil all our obligations, and at the same time not to rut hastily into quarrels when they re possibly be 'voided. thus averting the evils of war-1 believe that each a policy is one which will receive and ought to receive the approval of each an assembly as the present, (Cheers.) You who are engaged in the pursuits of agriculture must feel that the maintenance of peace is of the first importance to a country like England—to a country in which industry of every description, agricultural and manufacturing, is spreading every day, and is which that industry is mote and more dependent upon that moat delicate inetrumeat whi:h we call credit, which shuts up at the Ant breadth of war, and which, when it does shut up, brings wide-spread nip, amt only epos the manufacturing but upon the agricul tural interest also. (Hear, hear.) Such then, was the policy which guided her Majesty's government in dim diffieult foreign questions with which we have had to deal during the pretest year. That has been our policy from the commencement, in the Italian question, in theAmernen question, and sow again in this Denali question. We have laboured to keep the country out of war, at the same time that we have never failed to uphold, ea I believe, our boom wherever it has been needed. (Cheers.) Withrespect to domestic affairs, there is not much in these days which c.di be mid in regard to the duties of the government* relation to agriculture. There was a time when men believed that ' the government had the means of greatly promoting the prosperity of agriculture, and when everyone engaged in this permit was inclined to lean upon the broken reed of protection. Prophecy was made when protection was absodoned of the ruin that was swain upon the spin'. turd interest, and of the ruin which would come afterwards co the country at large. These prophecies have all proved futile. Facts have been stronger than theories ; the advance of years has dispelled the dreams of false prophets, awl there are new few who do not believe that in agriculture, as in every other breach of industry, that which the ewer* meat can best do is to strike off shackles and remove fetters, and that that which those engaged in industrial pumas can best do is steadfastly to rely upon themselves. (Cheers.) Well, then, as I say, it is little in these days that • government can do for agriculture or for trade. My friend Mr. Powell has spoken upon the =pleasant subject of taxation, and has alluded in terms, I dare say very trios, but perhaps net very pleasant if be bad been present to the Chancellor of the Exchequer—sot merely to my neat hon. friend, Mr. Gladstone, I take it, but to any. owe w o fills that powerful office. Yet lam bound to my that the insatiable desire for • aufbcieet amount of tam Um to meet the demands of the country which I God in my right hon. friend has been truly described by Mr. Powell. My right boa friend within the Mot few years has pat his head very largely indeed into my fa p oc k e ts—very much more largely than I like—but I have lt, as Mr. Powell his felt, and as, after all, we all must feel, that if we desire this sweater to be great, if we drink with enthusiasm the health of the " Army soil Navy," if we desire to nee the flag of Eoglaod maintained untarnished sod our reputation unsullied, we mutt be prepared to pay for it, (Cheers.) But, 1 believe, and the story of the last few years is there to prove it, that there ate few if any men in this country who are not prepared to py the mite of national honour and national security . ( Applause.) Her Majesty's present government have shown, under the chiafship of my noble friend Lord Palmerston, wham name will go down to posterity connected almost more this that of any man with the national defence of Etr lead—(hear, hear)—that government have shows their determination to pros those defer= on a satiefactoe faction ; but, on the other hand, this I can say, that her Majesty's government are as maxims as any men to bro.; the expenditure of the country within the narrowest Wilde consistently with the requirements of the =bile rem*, and by that means to effect every reduction of taxation that may be legitimately possible. (Hear.) Although ruy ri:bt hon. friend t h e Chancellor of the Exchequer will have the money which is needed for the public service, there is no man eau the country, I will undertake to say, who is more zealous la the cause of Mammal reform than the pretest Chancellor of the Exchequer. (Hear.) But we lour bear is as ad that we have a vest empire, extending late evert quarter of the glebe ; that our ships are in every port. and our commerce upon every sea ; and that, if I do not num lapis the feelings of this country (though we sometime grumble at the cost of colonial expenditure sad at Da"' armaments), the people are net prepared to abandon the colonies or give up their commerce ; sod if you are got re pared for that, if you wish to remain • great nation, s pread• log your arms into every part of the world, and eofoldrg the world within them, you must be prepared, as . l hire said, to bear the various bordess and discharge the vaiica duties of that grist position. (Loud cheers.) 177RTBER COMMERCIAL FAILURES IN LEEI,z. (From the herds Mereitry of ib i s day.) Petitions iu bankruptcy were promo ted yesterdaY, on their ows behalf, by Charles Turner, cloth roanufatarer , Bolbeck, and by William Turner and David Johows, clod , manufacturers, Leeds. No estimate as to liabilities h" been given, but it is understood that the failures are attri butable to the suspeorion of the Leeds Banking CootesY. and to the dealings of the two firms in acoommod+tws paper. Darin the day Messrs. Alfred Taste tad " woolles . merchants, King-street, made an ainipment. cisesequence of the suspension of the bank, which held a quantity of their paper. The total liabilities are 'Wed to be about 100,0001. Masers. Bead and Barwick and Y. Yewdall are the solicitors. We are informed that t.v winding up of Messrs. Saalfeld's estate is expected to be more favourable than was at first anticipated. There were rumours of other failures in the course of the day. As though, oo inquiry, we were unable to confirm them. ia a 'soarsl fear that other houses, some respectable. otb. l worthless, will be dragged down, sooner or later. Them however, an entire absence of excitement, and evident:F. o far, a determination to face the disasters which may pending calmly and with resignation. With regard to the affairs of the bank, nothing farther i anthontatively known. There are reporte—eome of thcs of the most serious character, aid apparently well.feuedel , but which no one possessing the information will ether adopt or deny. Without indorsing these reports, ar publWty to mere idle rumours, we believe we may ser ttst there is strong roma to tear that the creditors sod Mire hoiden of the bank will not only have to deal with a moo of accomaiodatioo paper, but also with a large quantity of forged paper, which bee been recklessly and fratidectly throwa into the market. There is also reason to fear that, in some Meter". it least, securities deposited at the bank by customers. ts'i not drawn against, have been handed over to the Lotela agnate as bank securities against drafts coming ism than heads from Leeds.

The Constitutionnel of to-day, in an article examining the Franco-Italian treaty, shows that the imperial government has been faithful to its mission. Ever convinced that the temporal power of the Pope was not opposed to the liberty and independence of Italy, it was sufficient for the government to know how to await the proper moment to effect a solution, which should at one and the same time put an end to the retrograde tendencies of the Holy See, and the revolutionary tendencies of Italy. We ought to congratulate ourselves that time bas rendered possible the combinations which will accomplish this double result so necessary to the tranquillity of Europe. THE RIOTS IN TURIN.

Advises from Turin to the 22nd inst. say : " The mob, after repeatedly insulting the soldiers at the Hotel de Ville, were at last fired upon by the troops several times, and numbers were wounded.

EvetrniG. The A bendpost (the evening edition of the official Weiner Zeitung) of to-day says :—" It was owing to the relations of Austria both at home and abroad that she has hitherto failed in concluding a loan. Now, however, the position has changed. Instead of an absence of producers and an importation exceedingthe exports, producers are now numerous, and our exports are considerable, trade, commerce, and shipping being thereby favourably influenced. Taxes are most regularly paid. A speedy conclu sion of peace will cause the extraordinary war ex penses to cease, and the outlay already incurred will be returned by Denmark. We may, therefore, hope that the moment is favourable to the negotia tions of a loan, if not abroad, at least at home." THE BOMBAY MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, Seim 24.
