Tim pleasantest fact connected with the Brighton Review, which has now beoome a regular Baster institution, is, to the onlookers at least, the fact that it is a regular institution. It has survived all ridicule, overcome all inclemency of the season, vanquished all red-tape difficulties, and even stir . . . mounted the weariness born of monotonous sucoees There are Volunteers still in the ranks who have every year made the same journey to Brighton Downs, and who can remember the vehement oppo sition with which the proposal warn first received. The authorities turned a cold shoulder to it, be- cave it was suggested by Lord RANELAGH ; the farmers were said to be fmious, because of the damage to be done to their crops ; and an infinential contemporary bestowed several leaders on the effort to show that it was dangerous, revolutionary, and certain to produce serious colds in the head. Gra dually, however, these obstacles disappeared before experience. Our greatest soldier then living, Lord CLYDE, was glad, with his India laurels on his brow, to encourage our citizen soldiery by his presence and approval ; the railway proved its capacity to carry 20,000 troops and twice the number of spectators without accident and without unreasonable delay ; and the constitutions of the Volunteers proved themselves strong enough to resist the debilitating influences of March east winds or April showers. The natural consequence of undeniable success followed : opponents became converted to applauders, and the review is now firmly established as the great show-day of the Volunteer force, and the chief spectacle of interest of the Easter holiday-seekers beyond the walls of London. At length it is crowned even with Royal sanction, and yesterday the future Sovereign and Queen of England passed in review these twenty thousand of their future subjects, who, examples of a hundred thousand more, like beet to spend their holiday in proving how well they can defend their native land if need should ever arise, and how many a previous hour must have been subtracted from work or plesimre to give them the training which now makes us all able to count upon them as a real and permanent addition to the power and dignity of England. For that the " Volunteer Movement," as it used to be called, is now in the seventh year of its moving, and is still moving, with yearly increasing vitality, is assuredly a fact in which we may all re joice. There is a popular physiological theory that every part of the human frame is by slow and gradual waste and renovation changed at least once in every seven years, so that at the close of each septennial period we are in possession of wholly new bodies, that have by imperceptible WIDDLI CLAES substitution, without change of identity or pause of function, taken the place of those we bore before. This theory holds good, in a great de gree, with respect to the Volunteer force. Though there are some who have stood in its ranks from the commencement, the great body of its members are unquestionably enrolled on the principle of limited enlistment, and not a large proportion continue their services beyond the first half dozen years. The lapse of such a period makes so many changes in a man's pursuits, avocations, and inclinations, that few have time, opportunity, or dis position to continue in precisely the same round of occupations that were possible and pleasing at filet. Our idle young men grow absorbed in business, the bachelors marry, the married men have aug menting families ; a change of residence, a new opening, a different arrangement of hours of labour, a thousand accidents in the infinite variety of life, make it seldom possible that we can devote the same time to any recreation which we gave to it seven years ago. Nevertheless, in spite of retirements by its older members, the Volunteer force still yearly grows in numbers. Hence we have clear evidence that its sudden growth was not due to any peculiarity in the feelings of one generation, or of any particular conjuncture of affairs, but indicated a deeply planted sentiment of the age, and supplied a felt necessity of modern society. Voluntary soldiering, it is plain, suits Englishmen, and is consonant with the ideas of our times. And since this is now proved, we may gain confidence that it will not speedily pass away, but will continue to grow stronger' and stronger, to attract always a larger and wider support, and with proper regulation to become more and more a thoroughly national and enduring institution. What contributes to give to it this character is indeed not very easily to be traced, but the difficulty is chieflybecause so manycircumstanees and motives combine to produce the result. We are not more patriotic certainly than our fathers, who, like our selves, turned out as volunteers in time of war, but turned in again as soon as the imminence of danger was over. We are not fonder of idleness, nor more addicted to out-door sports, for we really work harder, and our fast growing cities shut out the country from many among us. We are not more enamoured of military glory, for we hear much more now than then of the protium, or non-intervention, and the meanness of a cantle- - , roc's renown. We are not more rearty to follow ail• the call of any leader, for our whole society is be coming from the top to . the botima duly mere democratic, and our political institutions mere re- 1 , 1 4 , ; met - resokte ; we have more knowledge of our V I LO 1.!14,111! # uetilmeaa, more true appreciation Value or What we have to defend, and present thus as cheep in °nada ea in the 'United Edema, en emigration to the British territory may be looked for, and the contrast between• the union and the colony will compel the utmost care and wisdom on the pert of the officials on both sides. The Times sees, in short, a state of things that requires extreme care, and, between one state and another, that is only another form of saying that it requires the fullest preparation for all possible eanargeseiss. better imderatanding of the only way in which it can be defendeff. We have ceased to vapour about- one Ingliahman beating three Frenchmen ; we know that the rifle turns the wale from strength to skill, and that the rash of a mob is a different thing from the charge of a column. We work harder, and we feel the need of mere energetic recreation. We are in populous Albs pent, and we crave for the motive to take exercise within them, and to break forth in a holiday into a cotmtry " marching out." We wish to be at peace with all the world, but we know peace comes only from strength, and we rejoice to show that we can help to make up the strength which makes peace secure. Bo the Volunteer army, which in structs and heightens our national skill in the use of arms, which gives recreation and occupation in one, and which gives all a sense of doing something for the benefit of our common Fatherland, wins ita way as the holiday career most popular in England. And so may it be for many a recurring Easter Monday, till some fundaments! change in all the institutions of so ciety and in the relations of nations shall bring the day when its work is no more needed, and we can without fear or sorrow see its decadence. --„-- The Daily News asks what has been done by the Con gress, shisfly composed of Degrees' friends, towards settling tke policy of the republic in regard to the freed people ? , Tbey are really doing nothing for their clients, and are I yens defeating measures which would work well for the dammuni sims in time, and open a way by which it might work oat /isms elevation.

Such legislation is the proper and promised work of the strongest republican congress ever assembled in our time ; and at the end of three months there is nothing done. If congress is not shocked at this all the rest of the world is. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) The Post and Herald continues 4o inveigh against the government Reform Bill, the former seeking to convince the working man that the downward slide of the suffrage will not necessarily stspnent his political action, and the latter attempting to prove that nearly all the boroughs under the new ball would be dominated either by the working class alone, or by them in conjunction with the poorest, most ignorant, and least independent portion of the present constituency. The Telegraph gives some statistics with a view of show ing that the working classes pay 25 per cent, of the taxes, and that therefore they should have at least 25 per cent. of the votes, or 264,000 votes ; so that the existing propor- tion is little more than one-half what it ought to be. From whatever light we take it, we arrive at the conclusion that the industrial orders, who pay the handsome proportion of fully one-fourth of the total revenue, are not duly repre sented in parliament. voLurrns sansw. The Times renterit;tits t the aignificanee of the spectacle yesterday em Brighton Downs consists in the institution of which it is an expression and a sample, giving us • corps which could, in the space of 30 hours, plan on any given spot in the kingdom 150,000 troop*, 60,000 hones, and 100 guns, and which could collect together, in 24 hours, 80,000 " navvies" to throw up fortifications for defence or support. What could any enemies of England hope to accomplish against such a force ? The review shows us in a remarkable manner the high degree which we have attained in the important consideration of military trans port. Tha main body came from London, and was taken a distance of 50 miles in • few hours, and yet was twice as strong as the foam which, with great pains and exertion, was collected at Chobbam thirteen years ago, and was then thought a marvellous spectacle of military comets astiou. Fifty years ago a Prince of Wales would have reviewed the volunteers of the capital in Hyde-park. He now reviews them on the coast of Swan, and in that dif ference is expremed the difference between this generation and the last. Such a work moat constitute almost • science. The reader, moreover, will find freak 1•100.11 for admira tion when he remembers that the whole oast of this mag nificent force to the national exchequer is less than 350,0001. • year. The Poet thinks it may be said that England alone amongst European powers passional volunteers. The rapid growth of the feroe is not has remarkable than its pesalier organisation, and the moat sanguine could never have an ticipated that they would have obtained such • degree st efficiency. As to their utility it is not intended--at least it is not wished—that our volunteers should be employed against an invading foe ; but it is hoped that the mere fart that this country can call into the field close on two hun dred thormand disciplined troops, independent of tis standing army, in the event of an invasion, may deter any foreign State from venturing to attack us. The Star mays that it is only in countries capable of the highest freedom that military pageants can be pro duced for the people by the people. When we see our free institutions decorated as it were with the voluntary martial displays of a happy, a contented, and • trust. worthy people, we can afford to laugh to scorn the in ' sinuationa of recklessness and unwiadom which are cart in factiousness or in whim upon the great mass of the nation by some who prove by their participation in the spectacle how artificial and unfelt are their foolish croaking.. Vhe Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, Aran 2. The Queen, with the Princess Hohenlohe Langen boon, drove in the grounds yesterday afternoon, and wont out this morning accompanied by Princess Louise and Prince Arthur. _ _ _ - The President and Secretary of the Royal Academy of Arts had the honour of an audience of her Majesty, to present their report on the proceedings of the Academy during the past year. Major• General Hon. A. N. Hood and Lieut.• Colonel Du Plat have succeeded Major-General Y. H. Seymour and Colonel H. Ponsonby as Equerries in Waiting.

Major Grey has succeeded Lieut.-Colonel Xeppel aa Equerry in Waiting to the Prince of Wales. IN THE CITY. We learn from the Times that the amount now sub scribed towards the wham proposed by Mr. Rogers for furthering middle class education in the City approaches 60,000 i., and, that there is reason to hope that the com mittee will soon be in a position to submit their scheme to the tart of practice. They have applied for a charter, and the Bishop of London has consented to become the visitor. It is proposed to start with a school for 1,000 boys some where in the neighbourhood of Finsbury. The steady support which has been given to the scheme by the most influential firms in the City is the strongest evidence that could be supplied of its urgent necessity. The salaries of clerks remain fixed at a comparatively low rate, while the cost of every necessary of life is largely increased, and no greater assist ance could be furnished to men of small incomes than to provide them with the means of obtaining at a cheaper rate a serviceable education for their children. The St. Katharine Docks Company, who pay the majority of their Jerks wages less than the earnings of many mechanics, have indeed refused their assistance ; but they are a ecompicuons exception. Once started there is every reason to believe the schools will be made self-supporting, and there is good reason to hope that the means of their extension may be found in the unappropriated resources of obsolete London charities. As a matter, therefore, of the merest economy it would be well worth the while of the great companies to forward such a scheme, even if more generous considerations do not supply a sufficient motive. A great merit of the scheme is that it is purely =sectarian, the religious teaching of the children being left to the parents. His Majesty the King of the Belgians arrived at Dover yesterday afternoon, accompanied by Count de Mankato and suite, In the Belgian government steamer Belgique, Captain Hoed. His Majesty was received at Dover by the Belgian consul, Mr. S. M. Latham, &a His Majesty is travelling incog.

Scene three months since he passed int* the railway station on his way from Portsmouth to some other place on the coast, but he did not enter the town. The Princess of Wales never bad been even so near the town as the railway station. The Prince and Princess of Hohenlohe will leave Windsor to-day on the conclusion of their visit to the Queen, and will travel to Dover on their return to the Continent. A marriage is arranged between Major-General Milman and Miss Lee Mainwaring, only daughter of Mr. and the Hon. Mrs. Lee Mainwaring. The Bishop of London is considerably better. The right rev. prelate is able to quit his bed, and there is every prospect of his ultimate restoration to health. In the march past at Brighton yesterday, an officer belonging to a well-known temperance corps, for getting to salute with his sword in time, tried to mend matters by bowing gracefully from his saddle. The village of Kuraley, of which the recently deceased Rev. John Kahle wee for many years the vicar, is celebrated as the residence at one time of some members of Oliver Cromwell's family. Monuments to their memory are to be seen in the village church. In the Express of last week it was stated that • lady named Curry, residing at Freshwater, in the Isle of Wight, near the Poet Laureate, had celebrated her one hundredth birth-day. Mrs. Curry died four days after wards. The excitement arising from the number of friends who visited her to pay their respects is said to have hastened her death. A public meeting of the citizens of Exeter is summoned to-morrow in connexion with the Reform Bill. At the preliminary meetings opinions have been unani mmudy expressed in favour of the measure. The man hood suffrage party have sent in their adhesion, and offered to take a part in the proceedings et the meeting. Sir John Bowring is to move the first resolution, which is to be seconded by • working man, and Mr. Coleridge, M.P., is to follow. Mr. Aland, M.P., and Mr. Edgar Bowring, who will probably be the second liberal candidate whenever an election take place, are reported among the speakers. The council of University College have under their consideration the establishment of evening shames, on a plan not very unlike that which has been so successfully carried out in Sines College. Previous to the list general meeting of the proprietors notice had been given of a motion calling on the council to esialdish such clarets ; bat for want of a quorum the motion could not be put. Now, however, the council have taken up the matter themselves. and it is likely to be carried out. Five such classes are already in operation, with fees of not more than half the fee for morning classes, and fifteen or more additional classes have been recommended by the professors. Among those who perished in the steamer Lon don was a youth named Angel, an officer of the ill-fated 'hip. He was the son of the organist of Exeter Cathedral, and a grandson of the late Mr. Corte, organist of the Salis bury Cathedral. The relatives of the youth have placed • tablet to his memory in Salisbury Cathedral, and the Dean and Chapter of Exeter Cathedral are about to erect a tablet to hie memory in their cathedral. This tablet will contain his name, age, and the following words, " A true hearted and dauntless sailor, counting duty more precious than life, he remained at his post to the last, and was seen by the survivors with his hand still upon the engine of which he was in charge, calmly awaiting death when the waters closed over the ship. la testimony of his worth, and in token of sympathy with his bereaved parents, this tablet, simple as becomes the rare simplicity of his sheracter, is here placedly the Dean sad Chapter.

Perhaps, however, by Wen er Platten lake. day regards the latest news from Germany as still tending to war. Prussia, it says, continues her armaments with ostentation. Several fortresses have already been put into a state of defence, and the Flensburg Gazette now informs us that defensive works are being rapidly hurried on at Duppel. The fortifi cations which are finished have been furnished with artillery and the magazines supplied with powder. The Prussian vessels have been supplied so as to be ready for sea, and a private despatch which has been sent to us states that orders have been issued to the generals of the corps d'armee in the different provinces, directing them to place their troops on a war footing in the shortest possible time. The Austrian journals do not speak of military steps, but they exhibit an increasing bitterness in their resistance to the pre tensions of Count von Bismarck. " If," soya the Freuidenblatt, "the expectation that Austria will consent to the interference of Prussia in the ad ministration of Holstein be the sole anchor of peace, war must be regarded as inevitable." Most of the Prussian journals (says the Nord) have availed themselves of the festival of Easter to invoke, either in prose or verse, conciliation and peace. The Kreutz Zeitung is distinguished above all for the fervor and sacred eloquence of its first leading article. " Christ has risen," it says ; " may the Lord grant that in the midst of our troubles we may also receive in the depth of our hearts the salutation of the Risen. Peace be with you." Up to the present moment (says the Nord) these addresses and prayers do not seem to have been heard, for the gravity of the situation has become more serious since Easter Sunday. The armaments of Prussia are assuming formidable proportions, and in a few days from this the two great German powers will have the whole of their disposable military forces on foot. The long interview which took place between Counts von Bismarck and Karolyi at the end of last week has led to no result, and the Vienna journals despair with a deplorable unanimity of the maintenance of peace. (lIITIZIeS VIENNA, APRIL 2, Evan No. The Duke of Coburg has arrived here, in order, it is stated, to act as mediator in the dispute between the sovereigns of Austria and Prussia.

The Daily Nees describes the circular note which Count Bismarck has mused to be addressed to the minor states of Germany as perhaps the most shameless document hitherto Lewd by the most shameless of contemporary states. mem, and as an insult to the patriotism of Germany and the common sense of Europe. There is scarcely a paragraph that does not either express or imply • deliberate and notorious falsehood. Austria is not seeking war, but Prussia has openly announced a policy of conquest and annexation, the success of which would be equivalent to the withdrawal of Austria from participation in German affairs. Let Prussia abandon her present policy of aggrandisement, and she will have no enemy in Europe. It is satisfactory to know that Count Bismarck, in his appeal to the secondary German govern ments, has not hitherto succeeded in a single instance, but, on the contrary, three of them have formed a means of retreat for the Prussian government by join ing in their efforts to bring the quarrel formally before the Germanic Diet for decision, where the instinct of self-preservation would place them by the side of Austria for the maintenance of the public law and the honour of Germany. In this juncture of affairs, the direct address which Austria has once more made to the Prussian govern ment will be supported by the voice of Germany and public opinion in Europe. The Telegraph thinks the Italian government will for the present maintain a policy of inaction, neither Italy nor Prussia being likely to enter on any engagements while Use Emperor Napoleon continues to occupy neutral position in the controversy. la the event of war it is not so certain to which side Italy would incline. Supposing the fortune of arms should in the first instance go against the empire, Austria would then be obliged to withdraw her troops from. Venetia ; and as in that event the territory vacated would be inseatly occupied by Italy, the government of Vienna might discern the wisdom of securing the nee. natty, If not the active support, of as hereditary enemy, by eroding with a good grace • province that it could so longer hope to retain.

(num ma OWN oolszsroxparr.) PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. There are no new symptoms here worthy of notice on the great question of peace or war. The silence of the Prussian telegraph, which the Presse clings to as a good sign, is probably owing only to the Easter holidays. Prince Napoleon's arrival in Florence is tele graphed. He has had several interviews with General IA Marmora. One version of his " mis sion"—for it seems that, notwithstanding his die- I grace at court, he has a mission from the Emperor—is that his instructions are to dissuade Italy from a Prussian alliance, and his own private opinion is said to be in ac cordance with that of the Tuileries. One does not readily see why such a very confidential and extra-ministerial adviser as the Emperor's cousin should have been wanted for such a mission, which might have been well fulfilled by ordinary diplomatic agents. If, indeed, this news should be a blind, and if, as the public begins to suspect, it is really true that France meditates a great war to humilitate and diminish Austria, aggrandise Prussia, give Venice to Italy, and the Rhine to France; then, indeed, one can conceive that the unavoidable task of furthering such a combina tion should be confided to Prince Napoleon. His imperial highness is to go from Florence to Milan, where the court will be this week, and where grand fetes are coming off. The government journals for the purpose of show ing that M. Glais Bizoin's play, Le Vrai Courage, was not prohibited by the censorship in Paris, publish a letter from Marshal Valliant, minister of the Emperor's household, to the author, informing him that according to established rules, the censors could not look at a play unless it had been accepted by some Paris theatre. Marshal Valliant therefore regretted that he could not give the permission demanded to represent the Vrai Courage in Paris. The correctness of this state ment is not questioned. It was not in Paris, but at St. Brieuc, in Brittany, that M. Glaia Bizoin's play was interdicted. M. Glais Bizoin is a Breton. The loyal prefect, with out any reference at all to the subject matter of the play, thought it undesirable that an opposition member of the Corps Legislatif should have a chance of obtaining popularity in his department by a successful drama. The prefect's decision was approved of by the Minister of the Interior, and thereupon M. Glair Bizoin resolved upon the Ge neva campaign, which is now so well known. There were great fluctuations at the Bourse. But quotations coming higher from Vienna, Frankfort, and Berlin the closing prices here were considerably better.

That Count Bismarck is bent on fighting there can hardly be a doubt. When he was here some years ago with his royal master he said, in conversation, that a state of peace had lasted too long; that" a little blood letting was wanted" for Germany, and that to fight would do everybody good. He evidently thinks the time is come for his prescription to be adopted. The Emperor Ferdinand Northern Railroad has contracted for a great number of Bessemer steel rails with the Carinthian and Moravian works. These will be the first of Bessemer steel laid down in Austria. _ _ When we see the inveterate hostility shown by the Hungarians to whoever differs from them in their political creed, it is a proof of no little oourage on the part of Count Bela Szecheneyi openly to declare his opposition to the system at present pur sued of unbending " Rechts oontinnitat." How -1 ever, he has done so in the public press. Though it will be without the least effect, it is still a little cheering that a single voice is raised against the uncompromising system which is being pursued now at Pesth. The dislike the Hungarians bear to anything German, though whatever culture they have is de rived from Germany, is shown by the unpopularity of a bishop just dead. He, in order to procure some sort of education for the children roving wild, as one may say, on the vast plains of Hun gary, erected small schools in different parts of them, and placed there German teachers. This was the great delinquency, the introduction of the hated foreigner. Again English capital is embarked in commercial enterprise in the Austrian empire, men who have had an opportunity of judging of the capabilities of the land having seen that with industry, care ful and honest management no better field could be found for the investment of capitaL What, too, is sure, is that every year will make it a more eligible one for well-considered speculation. Three Germans, with George Grant and William Powell, have united to form a society at Prague, to be called " The Anglo-Austrian Sugar-producing Society," and the different ministries have sanc tioned the undertaking "in principle." Whether from this to " reality " is only a step, or whether the delays and opposition and vexatory proceed ings not wholly unknown in Austrian ministerial bureaux lie between, I am unable to say. i I I~ ~ _ iil~~ d .1, MIZZEN' AND THE ITALIAN P. M. &den ? the Naples correspondent of the Paris Temps, writing to that paper on the 27th ult., says : Under date London, March 2, twenty days before the vote of the Chamber, Mancini sent to a friend at Palermo his surrender of the met to which he had just been elected at Messina. This letter contains two essential parte—a criticism of the sentence banging over the head of Messini, and the reasons which prevent him from taking his seat in parliament :—" Citizens of Messina,—With a thoroughly Sicilian &mama of will (he writes) you have entered a generous protest against the iniquitous and absurd *anteing, which condemns see to death, for having attempted, in advent* of others, the work of the unity of the country ; iniquitous because it condemns is me what theeondemning monarchy aceepte as its fundamental principle and the basis of its power ; absurd because this con demnation remains though the Sardinian king dom has ceased to exist." Mancini next declares that whether admitted or not by the Chamber, he can in ao osse accept the seat offered him, because he is a republican. " Thirty years ago I swore fidelity to Italy, united and republican. I kept silent respecting the sewed part of my fidelity, upon seeing the whole country differ in opinion and wish to make a trial in • different direc. tion. I did not renounce my vow. I seconded, as far as I deemed right, and to the extent of my power, whatever would tend to solve the first half of the problem (that is the united Italy), but without ever changing as others did (Crisp[, he.) into an absolute principle (adhesion to the monarchy) what could only be for us all a temporary basis of experiment. I carried abnegation so far as even to point out to the monarchy the glorious and relatively easy paths that it might follow in order to arrive at unity ; but I never retracted my early vow ; I contracted no fresh engagement which could hamper it. I did not abdicate the liberty of mind and spirit before a hypothesis. And now that, for me at least, the experiment has been tried and without fruit; now that the monarchy, in open violation of the plebiscites, accepts by Florence, as metropolis, on the one hand, • convention which sanctions the existence in Italy of two temporal sovereignties, and on the other hand disorpnises an army which with sacrifices that have ruined the finances, had been organised for the purpose of emancipating Venice, I could not, and you would not wish me, to be false to my former vow by swearing fidelity to the monarchy and • constitution anterior to the national life of Italy, of which it is not and cannot be the formulary. More than ever convinced therefore, that the institution by which the country is governed is incapable of making Italy united, free, pm ' perms, and great, as you and I understand it, I should, in taking the oath, g ive an example of political immorality to my fellow-countrymen, and be eternally oppressed by • remorse.—Jostru Mauna." This letter, as before mentioned, is dated London, March 2. It reached Mazzini's friend at Palermo on the 10th. That friend, Signor Bagnasco, declares , 1 that Mazzini requested him to publish it at once, but that after consulting with various persons he resolved to await the decision of parliament. Three days after the vote of that body, viz., on the 23rd , March, the letter appeared in the Preoursore of , Palermo. THE WORMED CHURCH OP PARIS. In their resolution of the 23rd of March, carried by a majority of 24 to 3, the Consistory of the Reformed Church of Paris say :—" But it is not merely the disci pline and the internal order of the church which have been thus gravely affected by X. Martin-Peachond. By his acts, by his language, by writings published in his own name, or under his auspices, he has given his adhesion and support to negations which are destructive of Christian faith and history. He invited to his pulpit and upheld by his influence pastors who publicly diaavowed the divinity, the miraculous birth and resurrection of Jeans Christ, and any kind of supernatural intervention to the life of man and the world—that is to say, the historical tens and fundamental doctrines of the Christian religion as they have been proclaimed and professed in the reformed church of France and by the discipline of that church which the consistories are expressly appointed by law to maintain. In presence of such attacks against faith, such , infractions of discipline, and such inability to discharge re primly and exactly pastoral functions, the eonsistory could not remain inactive without failing in their duty to the church which they represent, and from which they bold their powers. They are religionely and legally bound to put an end, as far as they can, to this disorder and peril to the religion end protestant Christian society of France. They continue to believe that if the new laws are silent with regard to the pensioning of pastors, the ancient discipline and traditions of the re formed church of France give consietories the right of acting in this regard. They have, moreover, full eons donee in the principle admitted and proclaimed in one time by the civil power that on questions of pure religions belief it is for the religious authority to dedde. At the same time they defer to the right of the government remedies the relations between the state and the church, and to the scruples which prevented the Minister of Worship from accepting the resolution of the oonsistory which re moved M. Ifartin•Paschoud with a pension of 6,000 fr. Ia the situation in which this decision of the minister plead the emoistery, they are sonvineed that they are fublDing, their duty and discharging their reeponsilidity towards the church in formally pronoming tie dionisealef M.
