Ir is undoubtedly a considerable advantage for the Romiah Church in this country to have at its head a man of such taste and refinement, such _. _ wide, general culture and rare oratorical accomplish ments, as Dr. Mewirrwo. If he discuases the pro spects of the Papacy, even in these troubloas times, he is sure to do so in a tone of greaier moral elevat; on, as well as in language far more chastened and select, than his fellow-dignitaries on the other side of the Channel. This in itself is no small gain, as it secures a respectful and atten tive hearing for anything Dr. MANNINO may say amongst the intelligent and reflective, who turn away in impatience and disgust from the coarseness and truculence of the Irish Cardinal. It is the more unfortunate that the superiority of _ _ the Burnish Archbishop of WESTMINSTER should not be equally marked in other and more impor tant respects than those of taste and manner. But so it is. Having eulogised his command of refined and expressive speech, his grace and purity of style, we can go no fur ther. It is impossible to read the discourses on the prospects of the Romiah Church, delivered this week by Dr. MANNING, at the dedi cation of a new church, without feeling that with all the'r superiority of form they are in substance elm ,at as confused, inaccurate, and extreme as the eft lions of a C cum( or a GILLOOLY. They have the mark of extreme one-sidedness, of feeling in ex- cess of judgment, which, singularly enough, seems stamped on the productions of all Roman digni taries. Whatever may be the reaaom ...perhaps, 'n part, because they are denied the free exercise of in tellect in religious matters—the fact isnotoriousthat the authoritative spokesmen of Rome, from the POPE downwards, make a point in their public dis courses of gratifying, almost without restraint, the prevalent feeling of the hour. The natural influ ence of passion is to exclude from the mental view all that does not harmonise with itself, and any statement of facts given under the influence of such a state, will be at once partial and highly coloured. According as hope and fear may hap pen to proaominate, the lights will behrighter and the shadows darker than they are in reality. Dr. CuLLExt, taking a gloomy view of the prospects of the Papacy, sees all Europe in league to dethrone the POPE, and the gates of Hell about to prevail against him. Dr. MANNINO, on the other hand, pre siding at the dedication of a new cathedral, takes a sanguine view of the prospects of Roman Catho licism. To his excited farcy the Romish Church appeals on a pinnacle of unexampled:power, going forth conquering and to conquer, internally more united than at any period since the day of Pentecost, and externally more active and *recess ful. " The day of heresy is over." There are, ac cording to him, no longer any rival churches to dispute with Rome the dominion of Christendom, only " fragmentary faiths" that lurk in its ob- acure and unnoticed corners. Lutheranism "is a " thing of the past," and " Protestantism is dead." The only remaining foes the Church has to en• counter are Rationalism and Infidelity, and these essentially transitory forms of evil once subdued the Church will be universally triumphant. Such are the state and prospects of the Romiah Church, as depicted by Dr. MANNING. It need hardly be said that the representationis throughout a profoundly erroneous one. The glowing fabric reared by the facile rhetoric of the sacred orator falls to pieces at the profane touch of secular criticism. With regard to the " unity of the " whole church with the Holy See of St. Peter— " the infinite union of heart and soul, of pastors " and peoples with the Vicar of Jrans Ceram," which Dr. MANNING so much insists on, it is enough to remind him of the Rescript issued by the POPE little more than two years ago against a liberal movement in the Church more serious from the number and influence of its adherents than any movement since the Reformation. Has Dr. MANNING fo-gotten the " Munich Congress," and the widely-diffused liberal party of Souh Germany, under the leadership of Dr. DOLLINGIR, which it represented t This party, it is well known, has a large following in Northern Italy, and it commands the support of the cultivated and intelligent Catholics in this country, represented for a time by the Home and Foreign Review. The liberal movement represented by this wide spread organization, though censured and for the time silenced, is not suppressed or even arrested. It attracts to its side much of the genius, learning, and intellect of the Church, and as, amongst other objects, it maintains the rights of the Church against the extreme and exaggerated claims of the Papacy, it may yet seriously affect the future of Romanism. But in the presence of facts like these, of a movement so powerful and so opposed to the extreme claims of the Papacy, it is idle to talk of the unexampled unity of the Church with the Holy See. What Dr. Mayiriso really means bj the increasing unity of the Church is, it may be fairly assumed from the drift of his discourse, simply the recent growth in numbers and influence of the Ultramontane party. Identifying the unity of the Church with the spread of Ultramontaniam, he denounces ecclesiastical nationalism as a fatal disease. In all this, in exalting the claims of the Papacy over those of the Church, Dr. MANNING, no doubt, speaks as an ecclesiastic recently returned from the Court of Rome, and in sympathy with its prevalent opinions. Whether in accepting and propagating such views he acts as an enlightened friend of the Romiah Church may fairly be doubted. His words are rather those of a zealous Papist than of a good THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1866. Catholic. The ITltramontanes prhose triuniphs he celebrates are undoubtedly Ass, eArnest, and aggressive. They have for fears rut controlled,' the policy of the Romish Court, and they have forced on the Church the dogma of the Immacu late Conception, But their deification of central authority, their eager resort to force, and hostility to anything like freedom and intelligence within the Church, have profoundly alienated many of the more thoughtful and far-seeing Catholics, and will eventually produce a strong reaction. This may be at least assumed as tolerably certain, if the Romish Church has all the vigour and vitality which Dr. MAxidiso attributes to it. If it really grows and expands through the action of a vital prin ciple it will never permanently acquiesce in the suppression of its highest functions. The vitality Dr. Xxxiirrso celebrates must thus, in the end, be fatal to the apparent and temporary unity over which he rejoices. _ _ In relation to the Temporal Power of the Pore, Dr. Misarrito's views are equally partial, erroneous, and confused. He inquires at the outset, in what the temporal power consists: " Does it " mean the possession of wealth, of fleets, of " armies, of dominions like the British empire?' Most people taking a common-sense view of the mutter would answer at once, that the temporal power does consist in these things, and in these alone. Dr. MAsnaiso strangely says, that it con sists in none of these things, but in two Divine laws ; that the Vicar of Claim can never be subject to any human power, and that " there is " committed to him the supreme guidance and " direction over every soul on earth." If this is a true account of the POPE'S tempera power, it is clear that, according to Dr. Mixer:so, there is and can be but one temporal Sovereign in the world. But it is clear that as in the first part of his discourse he confounded the Papacy with the Romiah Church, so here he hopelessly confuses the temporal and spiritual power of the POPE. Yf the POPE had not an acre of land, or a penny of revenue, he would still possess to the full tie power which Dr. Malimuso designates as temporal. (Via Roche's Point.) NZ* YORK, AUGUST 21 7 .4 President :Anson, accompanied by Mr. Seward, General Grant, Admiral Farragut, and suite left Washington this morning, en route for Chicago. Great preparations are being made at New York to receive the President, and the municipality will present him with an address approving his policy. The Philadelphia municipality refused to take part in Johnson's reception in that city. General Granger officially states that during his tour through the Southern States he found no symptoms of organised disloyalty to the govern ment. NEW YORK, Auourr 30. President Johnson and his suite received an enthusiastic popular reception at New York yester day, and were entertained by the prominent citi zens, at a banqnet at Delmonioo's. The President made a speech expressing his determination to carry out his policy and restore the union. Mr. Seward also made a speech, in which he said that the press cried for war with Mexico, Spain, and England. He himself favoured all wars which the nation required ; but, referring to the refusal of Congress to admit the Southern representatives, he did not want to go into the field with one leg, and was a little impatient to have the lame leg made right. The New York States Senate have passed a motion of welcome to the President. Several republican senators have violently attacked John son, accusing him of officially sanctioning the assassinations and massacre in New Orleans, and declaring that his policy would cause another civil war. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THLS DAY.) TIM OrIiNA.V =VOLUTION. Describing the interview of the Hanoverian de putation with the King of Prussia as painfully affecting, and noting with something of ridicule the assertion of the King that all has been done by Divine interposition, whereas the force in the background has bean German nationality—the Tiffin gone on to express its regret that the arguments which militated against the separate exist ence of Hanover, are not equally applied to all the other northern Oates of the German Confederation, and especially to Saxony. As it is, Saxony must put up with that humiliating position for which Hanover has been so earnestly and so vainly supplicating ; and if Prussia plead the necessity of self-defence in her dealings with Hanover, it is a marvel that any consideration should deter her from the far more necessary annexation of Saxony. The Daily News points out that though we are per petually hearing statements or rumours respecting minis terial changes at Vienna, in no country in Europe on this side Russia and Turkey is so little account made of the opinions of the statesmen who stand before the world as advisers of the crown as in Austria, and to this fact is to be attributed the unsteadiness which a" who approach the Austrian government find in its conduct. Ministers accept office, and give advice, and see it over.-uled by some mem ber of the Emperor's household, and hold their portfolios just uif nothing extraordinary had happened. There 's good reason to believe that the war with Prussia was due to the exercise of influence of this kind. In Vienna it is no secret that both Count Mensdorff and Count Maurice Esterhazy were strenuously opposed to the war with Prus sia, and that as late as a fortnight before the outbreak of hostilities the Emperor Francis Joseph did not himself believe war with Prussia to be possible. If the opinions and judgments of the responsible statesmen of the Empire are to continuo to be set aside on the suggestion of some equerry or court chamberlain, the consequence must be that the Emperor's government will lose the consideration it enjoys in Europe, and its most loyal subjects will be struck with despair. The fate of Hanover, in the view of the Post, does but foreshadow the fate of every Getman state that stands between Primsia and the realisation of her dominating idea. The Herald deeply regrets that the petition of the Hano- verian deputies should have been unavailing. The King is acting towards his unhappy neighbour with exceptional severity,—making the iron enter deeply and visibly into the souls of those be has subdued. NISCILLANSOUS TOPICS. The boroughs in the hands of the Election Commissioners, observes the Times, are running a hard race, but Yarmouth wins. For completeness, unity, and general effect, there is nothing like the story of that town. In another article, the Times draws upon a London letter, which, it seems has appeared in a New York paper, condemning the meetings in Hyde Park, with a view of showing that the advice of the highest authorities in America would be to contract the suffrage rather than extend it. Commenting on the troubles in Victoria, the Times again condemns the conduct of Sir C. Darling, and applauds his removal from office. The Daily New replies to a correspondent, Mr. Simcox, of Queen's College, Oxford, who takes the oltramontane view of Irish university education, and again opposes the scheme of the late government, which proposed to unite in the senate of the Queen's University and in it s board of examiners representatives of the conflicting prin ciples of mixed and separate education. Mr. Bright's contemplated visit to Dublin, and the Toomer cue, supply the Post with subjects for discussion. With regard to the former the Post tells Mr. Bright what he ought to say to the Irish people, and as to the latter it contends that Mr. Walpole has taken the only course consistent with his true constitutional position as a minister of the crown. The Star and Telegraph take up Archbishop Manning's attack on Protestantism at Belmont. The former is struck with wonder at the extraordinary fact that so able, so highly educated, so earnest a man as Dr. Manning, can really bring himself to believe, even in a moment of reli gious exaltation, that the vital power of proteatantism i. not greater now over the world than it ever was from the first impulse of the Reformation. Where scepticism or infidelity largely gains, it gains, as in Italy and France, upon catholicism and not upon proteatantism. Dr. Manning misinterprets the meaning of the internal differences among protestants, which very often simply prove the vital prin ciple of the essential element of protestantism. The Telegraph sees in Dr. Manning's definition of the tempora power of the Pope, in which he makes no claim for the Pontiff at all inconsistent sith the surrender of Rome to the kingdom of Italy, that min xir- of preparation in the precincts of the Vatican which indicates the beginning of the end. the Court. BALMORAL, Sr. S. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Christian, drove out yesterday morning. IPrinewia Louise, attended by Lady Churchill, went out riding. In the afternoon her Majesty, with Princess Louise, and attended by Lady Churchill, drove on the road to Alt as Guithasah, returning by Birk Hall. The Duke of Edinburgh, attended by Lieutenant Haig, honoured the Earl and Countess of Fife with his company at ► ball given at New Mar Lodge yesterday evening. Major-General the Hon. A. N. Hood has succeeded Lord Charles Fite oy as Equerry in waiting. A deputation from Northumberland on the subject of the order of Privy domicil of duvet 31, 1866, Matte( to the cattle plague, had an interview with the Right Hon. S. H. Walpole at the Rome-office yesterday. The depute. tion consisted of Sir H. W. Ridley, M.P., Mr. Aitcheeon, and Mr. Jacob Wilson. LATAST INTELLIGENCE. ;ise DE MOUSTfER'S APPOI DEARQIIIS MT. " If it is allowable," says the Vienna Preset "to form a, supposition—the only plausible one—re specting the appointment of M. de Moustier to the Ministry of Foreign Affair', the nomination of this diplomatist means that the Eastern question is again raised. The only question asked is whether the aim of France is a defensive or an offensive one—whether Napoleon will content him self with merely watching the action of Russia or whether he will resolve the Eastern question in an anti-Russian sense with the concurrence of Austria, England, and Italy." The Journal des Debate has a long article on the new situation created in Europe 'by the victories of Prussia and the expansion of Germany, and then concludes as follows : Four great states of Europe have a great, almost a vital interest in keeping the routes to Asia open and free, and this interest is so vast that it will necessarily unite England, who desires to check the power of Russia in that quarter; Austria, who is anxious to enter on the only field henceforth accessible to her activity ; Italy, who would willingly re-open the theatre of her former commercialand maritime development; and France, in order to participate in the new current of expansion in the direction of India and Australia. The Puto-Napio, the organ of the Desk party in Hungary, which seems on the eve of being the preponderant one in Austria, re cently recommended the alliance of Austria with France, " in order that the Eastern question should not be solved without Austria.* As for the Germans, whom the victories of Prussia has confined to a corner of the North and Baltic seas, they are destined to remain distant spectators of that mighty movement in whish Francs, England, Austria, and Italy would severally find such important advantages that they need only remain closely united in order to triumph over the resistance of Russia. There are two hypotheses—the Western Alliance (which would include Prussia and ex clude Austria), or the Mediterranean Alliance (which would include Austria and leave out Prussia). The one or the other of these alliances would Amite in the permanence of • common interest four great nations of Europe, and the appointment of M. de Ilotuitier, who was Ambassador ►t Berlin, and who has lately been iunbelsador at Constanti nople. may justify thew hypotheses at the present moment. ----- The Morgen Post of Vienna expresses itself as follows : - • - . We are informed on good ►uthority that the most per fect understanding exists between Russia and P; aria in regard to the Eastern queet'on. This understanding, if it really exists, can only be based on a promise having been made by Prussia to the government of St. Peters. burg that she would support the po'cy of Raul& in the East, if Russia left her entire freedom of action in Germany and Central Europe. Prussia has, in fact, no interest in the East which could be compromised by the preponderance of Russia in that direction ; and the latter power should expect to pay dearly for the aceom pushment of her old designs upon Turkey. From this point of view, the nomination of M. de Eloustier has quite a special si‘aifice-ice. THE BRITISH AMBASSADOR TO PARIS. Th© Indipendance Beige says : On the accession of the present tory ministry to power Lord Cowley resigned his post of ambassador to the court of France. The many real services which he rendered in this capacity to both countries, his conciliatory disposition, his long experience of French politics, and the consideration in which he was held by the Emperor Napoleon, rendered the choice of a successor a difficrlt matter. Lord Stanley, therefore, together with his colleagues earnest'y entre►ted of Lord Cowley not to persist in his intentior. The matter might have been considered settled as there was no longer any question about appointing a successor, but it is probable Lord Cowley only adjourned his resignation in order that the accession of ► tory ministry might not be inter preted as a proof of a disposition less favourable to the good understanding between the two countries. Now that there is no longer any fear of such an interpretation, the goverment of Lord Derby having shown that it attaches no less value to the friendship of France than that of Earl Russell, Lord Cowley has again asked to be recalled, and it seems probable that hie resignation will be accepted. Lord Malmesbury, who accepted a secondary post in the new cabinet, would pro bably be the new ambassador, and being a personal friend of the Emperor his appointment would be no doubt well received at the Tuileries." THE PRUSSIAN ANNEXATIONS. The report of the commission appointed to examine the bill for the annexation of Hanover, Electoral Hesse, Nassau and Frankfort to Prussia has been issued. In this document they say that they regard the bill as the beginning of a new phase in the development of Germany, and that they received with satisfaction the royal message of August 16 and the present project of law. The report states that the modern law of nations recognises the right of conquest as a valid title to the acquisition of foreign territory, and adds that " the idea of strengthening this title by universal suffrage has not been accepted by the commission, because they felt that this would be to replace the essential by the appearance." THE RESIDENCE FOR THE POPE. According to the Nord England is most anxious that the Pope should take up his residence in the Island of Malta. It says : The idea of the flight of the Holy Father to Maltaseems to have so many adherents amongst Roman catholic, and even in the Papal court as to make the cabinet of the Tuileries take the possibiMy of such a result into serious consideration, with the view of pre venting the realisation of a combination which would completely deprive France of the Influence which she has of late years exercised in the government of catholicity and for which she has made so many sacrifices. The desire to trick France in this matter must be very great as otherwise English diplomacy, which is so indifferent on all questions of European politics, would not ersplay so much activity and would not go so far as to offer the Pope the entire possession of the island of Malta, except the fortifications and forts. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AUSTRIA. VIENNA, SEPT. 6, EVENING. General Frank, the Minister of War, has, at his own request, been relieved of his functions on ac count of the state of his health. He retires per manently with the grade of field-marshal. HUNGARY. DEATH OF MADAME PIILSZKY. PESTH, SEPT. 6, Evrynga. The wife and daughter of Franz Pulszky, the Hungarian exile, who recently obtained permission from the Emperor to visit his sick daughter, are both dead. His daughter died yesterday of typhus fever and his wife to-day of cholera. Pulszky is expected to arrive here to-day. All the persons recently arrested by the police for political offences have been released. VISIT OF THE QUEEN OF SPAIN TO THE EMPRESS OF THE FRENCH. MADRID, Slier. 6. The Queen paid a visit to the Empress of the French at Biarritz to-day. Her Majesty was ac companied by Marshal Narvaez, the Minister of State. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE CUBA. The Royal Mail steamship Cuba, from Halifax and Boston, arrived at Queenstown at 5 a.m. to day (Sept 7), with 84 passengers and 16,642 doh. in specie. She landed all the mails except those for Liverpool, and two passengers, and proceeded at 5.30 a.m. All well. THE JOURNALS KILLED DURING THE GERMAN WAR. The correspondent of the Tempo finishes a com rdunication dated from Baden, Sept. 4, as follows : I do not know if Germany sill arrive at her unity, but she Ku undoubtedly lost her liberty. Amongst the victims of the late war we must first reckon the lows of the liberal press. The follow ing is a "st of the journals killed in the cam paign of Russian Cserr:am:—Beobaeh✓:r an de► Elbe, Deutsche Reichs-ZePung, Frond-furter Post-Zeitung, Frandfurter Reform, Nese FranckJur:er.Zaitang, Hessen- Zeitungt (a )[arbourg), Hannwersche Landes-Zeitung (a Nienbourg), Montags-Post, .Aligerneine Deutsche Arbea er- Zeitung,Frandfurtsr Laterne, Deutarn Satatzeptuad War- Zeitung, Woehenblatt d" Nationat-Vanist, Schlestrig-lid steinitche Zeitung, Sider-Zeitung, Misteleteutsche Yolks. Zest ung, irassauiseAe ZendesZeitung, Dreselener-Iteforsts. And this list is far from being complete. The Berlin correspondent of the same journal says it is affitmod that the negotiations between Prussia and Saxony have taken amore favourable turn, that King John has consented to yield to the Prussian demands, and that he has resolved to abdicate. ROM. A letter from Rome, in the Salta Public of 1 Lyons, says : The Holy Father and all the cardinals have received by post a small pamphlet, printed at Naples, with the title, "The Truth to Pins IX." The author is If. Bertocchini, of Rome, late Brother of the Christian Schools, who has been to Naples with his family ; he presents for the Roman question four combinations : namely, an armed invasion, an interior revolution, • slow agony, and an accord with the King of Italy. According to him, the armed invasion will not take place, for Italy has undertaken, by the Convention of the 15th September, to res. peat the frontiers of the Roman State ; an interior revolution is very possible and facile, and would render ines :table the fall of the temporal power of the Holy See, if the Pope, doing violence to his evangelical character, should attempt to stifle it by • prompt and sanguinary repression ; a slow agony would be too humi liating for the Pontifical government. That is why 81. Bertocchini concludes that there is nothing else to be done but to come to terms with the King of Italy, and show himself once more the Pope of 1848. This pamphlet is making much noise in the circles of the Pontifical party; the author states he has written it from devotedness to the Papacy, and adds that the Roman clergy, and particularly the good ecclesiastics who have the direction 6 of the congregation at the church of the Peace, can give testimony as to his moral and religious conduct.

The Empress and the Prince Imperial attended Divine service on Sunday in the chapel of the Villa Eugenie, at Biarritz. About 4 o'clock in the after. noon they drove out in an open carriage, her Majesty bolding the reins, and went through the town in the direction of the Place, the streets being crowded with the visitors and inhabitants, who loudly applauded the imperial party. The young plums, on his return from the drive, received, as in former years, a number of children of his own age at the bottom of the lawn of the villa, where a party of prison bars was at 01100 organised, his imperial highness displaying great activity. A military band at the same time played on the strand adjoining, which was crowded by members of the beau monde. The Putrie announces that in consequence of the annexation to Prussia of Hanover, Electoral Hesse, Nassau, and Frankfort, the representatives of France at the capitals of those various states have been authorised to quit their poste. The Paris °corespondent of the Tiases remarks that Count Bismarck's reputation as a bold man is too well established to heed exalting, otherwise one might instance, as a proof of it, that he has not feared to incur the enmity of some arxty or more ministers, plenipo tentiati and resident, charges craffeares, kc., to say nothing of respiring secretaries and atlac.Aes, whom his suc cessful campaign and its consequences have thrown out of work —or, perhaps, out of play would be the more proper term as regards moat of those gentlemen. By the sword of Sadowa the European diplomatic corps has been cut down in • manlier which will not soon be forgotten by those who suffer from it, and who certainly will not sing t he praises of Count Bismarck as they kick their heels in the antechambers at their respective foreign-offices, wait ing for the fresh employment which it will not be easy to provide. An Austrian subject, J. Klantschnigg, has been condemned to six months' imprisonment at Trieste for having sold 133 slaves in Egypt.

The Times has the following :—" We have the best reasons for banks ing that the report recently cir culated by the Pall-Mall Gawtte of an intended marriage between the Sing of Greece and the Princess Louise is entirely destitute of foundation." From January 1 to August 8, 1886, 186,799 immigrants arrivsd at New York, being 55,033 more than during the mama period of last year. Immigration in 1866 is much larger than during any previous year. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (rsox °us owzr CORBESPONDICITM PARIS, TECHBDAY EVILS_NG. The Mowiteur announces that M. Chassepot, the head controller of arms in the Paris Central Artillery Depot, has been created a chevalier of the Legion of Honour for " exceptional services." Itis known that M. Chassepot is the inventor of the breech-loading rifle adopted for general use in the French army after experiments at the ChAlons Camp, and of which 200,000 have been ordered to be made forthwith. This honorary distinction is a 'counterpart to the " letters of nobility," which the Berlin papers state have just been conferred upon M. Dreyse, the inventor of the P:ussian " needle gun," a gentleman, or I should rather say a nobleman, much less known to the public than his invention. The Mn►ikur du Soir gives the names of the killed and wounded by the accident on the Orleans Railway at Saint Maixent, between Mort and Poitiers. One of the killed was a priest, the curd of Nanteuil. The number of the wounded is 19, instead of eight, as at first stated, but they were not dangerously hurt, and all of them were able to walk to the nearest station. The cause of the car riage going over the embankment is not yet known. The engine did not run off the rail. In reference to a current rumour, the Pays has the following : ... The Epoea announces that the Queen of ffrain, now at Zara= for sea bathing, intends to pay a visit to the Empress Eugenie. Biari:tz and &rain are so near to each other that a visit of nei3htww^ly feeling and affectionate courtesy may be considered vet/ likely. But the Epoca takes a probability for a settled determination. We are enabled to state that nothing is decided on the subject. I do not wonder that in the present terrible state of Spain under the despotic, bloody, and bigotted government of Narvaez, which cannot possibly last long, the French government organs should depre .. . cato the supposition of any extraordinary cordiality between the courts of Madrid and Paris. The Marquis de Larochejaquelin's name consists of a great many letters, which is no doubt one rea son why it excites more attention whenever men tioned than does the title of Marquis, if only fol- lowed by a monosyllabic cognomen. His an- , cestry are justly famous in the annals of France. But I have never thought the pamphlets, speeches, sayings, or doings of the senator who now bears the old title worthy of much newspaper space. Inasmuch, however, as a quarrel between him and the SP.& is likely to be noised abroad, I subjoin a short notice of it. The marquis having accused a portion of the Paris press of being purchased by Prussia, the Sit& contra dicted the assertion with disdain, and added that the author of the pamphlet must be considered as a calumniator if ho did not prove his words. The marquis declining to assign reasons for his charge, the Sieele says : We will not allow our contradictor to assume so haughty a tone with us. Our dignity and honour are dear to us, and when he or his friends accuse a whole class of honour able citizens of selling their consciences or their pens to a foreign government we will not allow those slanderers to take refuge behind a simple negation, like a guerilla in ambuscade behind a bush to fire on his enemies. The qualification of calumniator remains attached to your name, M. le Marquis, so long as you shall not have proved your assertion clearly and directly. We know that there do exist elastic consciences, with the tariff for which the governments are acquainted ; we know also that there are men ready to serve all regimes, but they are not to be found in our ranks. The Marquis de Moustier, whose arrival, ac cording to some journals, were expected this week, has intimated that he cannot leave Constantinople till the end of the month, he having some affairs of importance to settle there. That of Candia is surmised to be one, but it may well be that the Emperor is not sorry to have only an interim Minister of Foreign Affairs for a month, who will be able to gain time on all delicate questions by saying he awaits the return of the minister whose place he is only keeping warm. The Bourse was very firm. Route rose 10c. for cash and 12tc. for account, closing at 70fr. Gc. in . each case. Italian rose 65c., closing at 57fr. 25c. Mobilier rose Ur., and Credit Foncier, 15fr. The Nuovo Diritto, of Turin, believes itself able to state that fifty-eight general offiiets of the Italian army are going to be immediately placed on half Tay. The United States navy, as at present organised, mutates 2,048 of of all rank', there being one admiral (Farragutl, one vice-admiral (Porter), and 27 rear-admirals. Nearly all the officers are on the active list, the reserve and retired lista being much smaller than the usual pro portion, ow:ng to the weeding out of the war. An international competition of ale, beer, hops, and all articles used in the preparation of malt liquors is a nnounced for the 10th to the 15th October at Dijon, in the rooms of the Town-hall. Exhibitors are to send in the various articles before the Bth of that month. The centenary of the bu al of John Dalton, the chemist, was celebrated by a dinner at Carlisle, on Wed nesday. Dalton was a native of Cumberland, hae.ng been born at Baglerfield, near Cockennouth. " With no small satisfaction," says the Leeds Mercury, " the creditors of the Leeds Banking Company will learn that another dividend upon the amount due to them will shortly be declared. Two dividends, one of Ba. and one of 45., bays already been paid, and on Wednesday en application was made at the Vice-Chinceller's Court for an order permitting the official liquidator to holism 25,0001. and to withdraw 34,000 i. hem the Bank of Paw -1 land, to enable him to pay a third dividend at 21. in the pound. The application was granted, and the dividend is to be paid on the 25th of the present month." --.......... SINGULAR AND FATAL w CUIIRSNCI is DALSTON. INQUEST.:—(THIS DAY.)
