the single aim of church progress, with regard to the kind of pry anxious to promote. The reader any one of these newel apers, rant of its principles as r will do well in the first _ at the advertisements. They will tell him at onoe that which he seeks to know. They will show him by an unerring test how high or how low, or how moderate in its theological opinions a church newspaper may be. Take up, for example, the Church Times, and you will find offered for sale in the advertising columns the Bonnet, of a cirdi nsPa robe, and " priests of Catholic principles" offering their services for permanent and tempo rary engagements. Among the books or tracts brought before the Church Times public are many eminently characteristic of the school to which it belongs, such as " Flowers and Festivals," " Incense agreeable to the law of the English " Church," " The Deformation and the Reforms " tion," and so on, and among the articles sup posed to be of special value to clergymen, a small black leather bag is advertised containing " an oak altar, altar cloth, bursa and veil, two " corporals, two purificators, veil pall, two candle " sticks (with candles), altar cross, chalice, paten " and flagon, cassock, cincture, biretta, alb, mice, " girdle, stole, maniple, chasuble, ha." In such a journal not even little girls can be offered educir tion without the additional statement that it shall be " Catholic," or conducted on Church principles. Pass from the Church Times to the Rock, to which Mr. MARTIN TUPPIR appears to be the laureate, and Dean CLoss the chaplain, and we breathe at once a different ecclesiastical atmo sphere. Advertisers in this journal appeal to the friends of Evangelical Protestantism, they call the Pore " the Man of Sin," and in their zeal against Romanism they offer for sale " The Confessional " Unveiled ;" and if " earnest Evangelical curates" want employment, Scripture readers seem to be equally in request. The Rock looks precisely like an offshoot of the Record, but there is one point of dissimilarity, the former being a penny weekly paper, while the latter is published three times every week at the yearly sub scription of 1/. 19s. With the exception of this difference, no trifling one truly, the tone of both journals is so similar, the ability displayed in them so exactly on a level, their tole rance or intolerance so nicely adjusted, their ex ternal likeness so striking, that it would be diffi cult to know one from the other if the names of the papers were concealed. Between the vigorous Protestantism of the Rock, and the ultra-Anglicanism of the Church Time, or of the Church News, stands that old and able journal the Guardian, which years ago would have been accounted "high," but now merits the title of moderate, not because its views are changed but because the opinions or prejudices of the extreme Ritualists have carried them beyond it. In the Guardian a clergyman is not necessarily called a priest, and "moderate views" figure con stantly in the advertising columns. The Church element prevails, however, even in the secular advertisements. If a good plain cook is wanted she must be a Churchwoman and a communicant ; if a clergyman requires a groom, " one who could " sing would be greatly preferred ;" if those disreputable articles, manuscript sermons, are offered for sale, it is, of course, speci fied that they are "of good Church " tone." The Guardian is singularly free from the peculiar and often irritating expressions which stamp a party by a phrase or a sneer. It is , a manly outspoken journal, firm in its attitude to • opponents, but rarely, if ever, offensive. It may argue against principles but it will not attempt to traduce persons ; it may object to a man's views, but it will not inquire into his personal habits, or make party capital out of his private deficiences. This eminently nu-English habit does prevail, we are sorry to say, among a certain class of clerical journals, some of which are prone to apply opprobrious epithets in a most repulsive manner. In the recent number of the Rock Dr. MANNING is termed " the modern Judas," and " a worthy " successor of that Apostle that carried the bag" ; Mr. Macsorrocnis and " hie Romaniaing myrmi " dons" are said to exhibit at St. Alban's a " monstrous system of imposition," and are termed wolves in sheep's clothing ; while on the other hand, in the Church Review, the evangelical party is said to be engaged " in rooting and grubbing in " the lowest depths of controversy, and flaming " abroad in the fantastic and hideous rags of " faction." The aim of the Ritualista and the tendency of extreme ritualism is clearly displayed in this journal and in others of the chum. In an editorial article of the G7►wrck Times LIITHZR is termed " a perjured monk," the doctrine of the Real Presence is stated to be a Church of England dogma, and after putting the question " Who is " on our side I" the writer replies, " not those " who are ashamed to be seen crossing themselves "in church, and who furtively draw a minute " sign over the stomach. Not those who neglect " reverence to the altar on entering church." In the copy of the paper before us the correspondence relates to altar lights and chasubles, altar candle sticks, eucharistic vestments, and Roman altar bread, and in the correspondence of the Church Review a writer earnestly advocates pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and exclaims, "We want the " pelmet again among us." On the whole, the ordinary reader will not find much "edification" if the old Puritan phrase may be pardoned, either in the Anglicanism of the ritualistic journals or in the strong flavoured Protestatism of their Low' ' Church rivals. Englishmen for the most part have a very distinct repugnance to theological extremes. They won't believe, however frequently it may be dinned in their ears, that all truth lies in one nar row groove ; they detest priestcraft on the one hand, and what, for lack of a better word, may be called preaching-craft on the other. They have little sympathy with well-meaning but weak-minded enthusiast*, who rake in medieval dustbins, and prefer candlelight to sunshine, and they are as rea sonably annoyed with zealots who forget discre tion, and with dogmatists who drop from their creed the first of Christian virtues. respectively. good old English custom of respect for public convenience, to a feverish and un necessary parade of political excitement by which trade, traffic, and the town generally are impeded and annoyed. Besides, there is really no occasion for demonstrating just now. Mr. GLADSTONE and the Liberal party are in a large majority, and know their own business perfectly. To bold maw meetings in the streets to insist upon the resigna tion of the Government oversteps the line between sympathetic support and unwarrantable inter ference ; and it will in the long run be bad for England if her statesmen are ostentatiously gibbetted whenever their policy runs counter to the popular will. Let us have as many and as frequent public meetings against or for the Irish Church as may be equal to the demand ; only let their whereabouts be chosen with discretion. To cram Trafalgar-square with processions and banners for the mere pleasure of abusing Mr. DISRAELI from under the shadow of its lions, is to invest both the locality and the occasion with an importance utterly beyond their , 1 merits. THE Marquis of SALISBURY'S maiden speech last night in the House of Lords commenced with an apology, which spoke volumes concerning the change which has oome over the habits of his political life. When " this hour of the night" means five minutes past 8 in the evening, and an excuse is needed for detaining an assembly so late, wo have one of the many contrasts between the Upper and the Lower House brought before as in a sentence. But last night proved Lord SALISBURY and Lord CzAtraoxsz to be one ; and that, like the BOURBONS, he has learnt nothing and forgotten nothing in his translation to another sphere. The same lofty and slightly crotchetty honour ; the same contempt for expediency, and independence of mere party con siderations ; and the same individuality of judg ment marked his decided views upon the case of Sir CitAitimi DARLING as have become identified with his name on a score of other subjects. Again apologising for the lateness of the hour, Lord SALISBURY wound up his speech by insisting that " the connexion between the Crown of England " and its colonies would be a mockery and a Bela " aion indeed" if the colonists were in practice allowed to have their own way in the management of their own affairs. The good and the honour of the empire are, according to Lord SALISBURY, as well as to statesmen with whom he has little else in common, dependent upon our vexatiously thwart ing a full-grown community, which is unwilling to sever its connection with the mother country, but which is well able to run alone. A cass tried in the Bail Court on the Gth of May, in which the well-known music -sellers, the Messrs. Camden, were the plaintiffs, and a gentle man named AYLEN the defendant, is rather dis turbing to those persons who are in the habit of purchasing articles of furniture at auction marts. The Messrs. CRAMER had lot a piano on hire to a gentleman living at Southampton, the terms being the system under which the pay ment of three years' rent is equivalent to a purchase and settlement. The hirer of the piano in this instance broke down in his quar terly payments after the seventh or eighth instalment had been paid, and his goods were seized by the Sheriff for debt, and sold in the usual manner. The piano was included in the general clearance, and was purchased in open sale by the defendant, Mr. AYLEN, who appears, from the reports of the trial, to have been a perfectly " innocent holder," and to have known nothing of the contract with the Messrs. CRAMER until after he had paid the money to the auctioneer. The plaintiffs demanded the piano ; the defendant refused to give it up ; and an action was brought which resulted in a verdict for the Messrs. CRAMER, with costs. Mr. A.exex had to give up the piano and pay the costs, no small amount, and was lucky if he succeeded, as we presume he did, in getting his purchase money back from the auctioneer. There are many hundreds of pianos, to say nothing of other important articles of furniture, sold in auction rooms every week under executions, and few of the purchasers, as long as they get a "bargain," ever trouble themselves to inquire whether they are not buying goods illegally seized, that may be legally demanded by the owners. Pianos and billiard tables are the articles most frequently sold and bought on the three years' system of payments by instalments, and are, therefore, the articles that should never be taken from an auction-room without a sound character from their last places. THE QuzaN'e answer to the address of the Com mons on the subject of the Irish Church is to be brought up on Monday, and the nature of the reply is a subject of general interest. Thursday is to be given to the Boundary Bill, and, as at present advised, the Government, we understand, intend to fight the Opposition, in order to oarry the bill against Mr. HIBBIRT'S motion to confine its provisions to fixing the limits of the new boroughs. DEseivE the Impeachment Trial, occasional angry speeches at Washington, and newspaper in vectives, the political , traces of the late civil war in America, are gradually disappearing. The state of Arkansas, which a few weeks ago adopted a new Constitution under the Reconstruction Act, has now taken the second preliminary step to entitle it to a place in the Union. The Legislature elected under the new Constitution has finally ratified the neces sary amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and as soon as the Impeachment Trial is over, its Senators and Representatives, on applying for admission to Congress, will be received. Other of the Southern States %sing Mr. JOHNSON'S failure, are preparing to follow the example of Arkansas.

(711,031 ova Ow, CORILIZPONDZNT.) PARIS, FRIDAY EVINING. There seems to be a parti pria to clear the poli tical atmosphere for the Emperor's visit to Orleans. All the news of the day is the precise counterpart of that of yesterday, and the " black points " on the horizon have all disappeared. In the first place the Constitutionne/ says that the reports of remonstrances having been addressed by France to Prussia on the subject of the fortifications of Mayence were set about for speculative purposes, and are utterly untrue. This is very likely. As suming the contradiction to be well founded, it only shows that France has not thought it desirable to raise a " Mayence question," which the Berlin journals were prompt to say the Prussian government would not suffer for an instant. That Mayence is being every day strengthened and that its garrison is very powerful are notorious facts not in any way denied by the Constitutionne/. In I estimating, moreover, the value of that journal's denial, as far as it goes, it is material to remember that last year, and up to the very moment when the plenipotentiaries for the London Conference were named, it denied with equal emphasis and solemnity that there was any such thing as a Luxembourg question. Another paragraph in the Constitutionnei, professedly written in answer to rumours about what the Emperor will say at Orleans, affirm that his Majesty has intimated that he will listen to no speeches and make none. The amusing part of this an nouncement is that the greatest noise about the imperial speech which was supposed to be forth coming was made by the Consfitutionne/ itself, which proved very conclusively in four successive articles that the Emperor must necessarily deliver a pacific discourse on this occasion. Rightly con sidered, it is far from a reassuring symptom that his advisers think he cannot be trusted to speak at all. The Libert4 says on the subject : It is evident that at an agricultural meeting the Empe ror could scarcely have made any other than • pacific speech. If he is to be silent the logical inference is that he fears his words might have been susceptible of warlike interpretations. The Tunisian question, which yesterday was menacing, is to-day all serene. General Rustem, the Minister of the Interior of the Bey of Tunis, and General Raffia, a special envoy, just arrived in Paris, had an interview with the Marquis de Mous tier yesterday. It is said that they are disposed to give France all the satisfaction required, and that in all probability a committee will be formed in Paris to consider the French, English, and Italian claims. A report that Prince Czartoryski communicated beforehand to the Emperor a copy of the speech he lately made in London predicting the res toration of Poland is also contradicted. The ensemble of the day's news naturally pro duced a good effect upon the Bourse. Rente more than recoverod yesterday's fall, and closed at 68fr. 40c. both for cash and for account, with a rise of 15c. and 'lnc. Italian rose 271 c. ; Mobilier, llfr. 26c. ; and Credit Fonder, 7fr. 50c. The favour able influence of the news above alluded to was greatly aided by the telegraphic intelligence that the unitary address in the Ger man Customs Parliament had been rejected by a majority of 23. Moreover the crowd which thronged Dente's shop this morning to buy the pamphlet La Pai.c par /a Guerre were disap pointed. The publication, if not countermanded, is postponed. One very sufficient reason for re modelling it would be that in the proof sheets which I saw great staves is laid as a reason for war upon the very address moved in the German parliament which we now know has been negatived. As I have all along anticipated, the boisterous opposition to the Press Bill in the Senate dwindled down to insignificant proportions before a deter mined speech from M. Rouher. The reactionists at last only mustered 23 votes against 94, and the bill has passed. Cardinal Donnet, who pleaded hard for an adjournment of the debate to enable him to speak against the measure could not obtain it, and was fain to content himself with giving an adverse vote. The other cardinals kept out of the way, and did not vote at all. in= =DAL AWRIDID).

(130 K 001 (WK 001RUMONDINT.) FLORENCE, I must interrupt f o r a moment the KAT 5 , narrative of court festivity to speak of the great political event-- for it really is a great political event—the reception given in Italy to the Prince of Prussia. It is far from improbable that it may exercise a much more important influence on the foreign policy of this country than could ever have been anticipated. The demonstrations in favour of Prussia have be en so loud and so universal as to constitute a very significant warning to those servile partisans of France, whether in parliament, at court, or in the public press, who keep eternally harping up on t h e theme that Italy can never sufficiently discharge her debt of gratitude to Napoleon 111., and that the country should be prepared, in the event of any European or Eastern complication, to pee r forth the best blood of its children in furtherance of the aims of France. In speaking of such servile partisans I wish it clearly to be understood that I do not for a moment refer to the j resent cabinet, to General lkenabre a an d his colleagues, whos e li ne of conduct has been marked bygreat independence; but to persona of a very different stamp, who were in office before, and would gladlygratity the wishes of their patron at the Tuileries, should they ever come into office again. Unfortunately all teeir speculations on the immense debt of gratitude due by Italy to France possess no historical founda tion. If there be one fact more certain than another respecting the causes which led to the French campaign of 1859 in Italy, it is this, that the initiative of that act was taken by the Emperor Napoleon himself as early as the spring of 1858, long before the celebrated interview at Plombieres— that he believed that initiative to be imperatively required for his own interests, and that the first and great debt of gratitude was much rather that due by him to Italy for seconding his views, than by Italy to him because he entertained and wished to give them effect. However, be that as it may, the de monstrations of the last fortnight have left no • doubt to what aide the balance of Italian sympathy inclines, when weighted with the rival claims to gratitude of France and Prussia. As ill-luck sill have it, the present Minister of Foreign Affairs .4 France, the Marquis de Moustier, and the vessel I representative of the Frenchgovernment at Florence, Baron Malaret, have no very brilliant ankte dents to boast of in their joint treatment ;of Prussian politics. It so happens that , these were preaniely the two diplomatists who in 1865, as Minister and Secretary of Legation at the I Court of Berlin, managed matters so deplorably during the Crimean war, that the Prussian goveni -1 ment then expressed to that of France, in good set terms, its conviction that they were not fit for their posts ; a conviction which the French govern , ment itself virtually endorsed by carrying on all its more important negotiations through a private and non-official channel. With such antecedents it is not difficult to imagine that Count Bismarck, at Berlin, and Count lisedom, at Florence, have the feeling that in now playing their little game , of diplomatic whist they do so with all the trump cards in their own hands. At the same time I se de l v v o es utl to y be ho s plt u ha ced t t in he to itali thXlief wili th n a o t t ch al e Pruss ian lo" them selves to is necessarily the best game for Italy. So far as a calm observer can judge from what he sees here, the game bears a very suspicious resemblance , to the one played by Count Cavour against Austria with such rare dexterity in the brat • months of 1859. Then Italy managed to throw the onus of the war on Austria, though she had really, in concert with France, prepared and provoked it by the acts of the twelve previous months. The . impression here in quarters furnished with ample . and very reliable information is, that Connt liis- Cavour. ; marck is now repeating the tactics of Come W RATHER RV POUT. -(TB IS DAY.)
