THE victory of Sadowa, and the military and ter ritorial aggrandisement of Prussia by which it has been followed, have had two consequences—the one to direct attention to the value of generally dif fused education as a source of national power ; the other to spread among all European nations, be sides Prussia, a distrust of their realized bellige rent resources. There is, however, this important difference to he observed between the operation of the two beliefs thus acquired, that whereas, so far as at present appears, not one child the more has been educated in consequence of the recent signal demonstration of the superiority of intelligence over brute force, every Government in Europe is already bestirring itself to strengthen its army either by immediate addition to its numbers or by . rectly increasing its efficiency. Conviction in the one Cast) is leading to prompt and fruitful action, while in the other it evaporates in talk. The French Goveniment, for reasons of its own, assumes that an effective army of 600,000 men is . . no longer adequate to the task of sustaining the Empire in its proper European rank. The popu lation of France is concentrated upon a compact territory, and is larger and denser than that of either Prussia or Austria. The Government is unetnbarrassol by any questions of nationality, such as in the case of its neighbours distract al tention and divide the national force at home, while they oiler weak points of attack to a foreign enemy. There is no State in Europe which could hope in any event to become the stronger or the safer by detaching a province or a department from the Empire. In case of war the army could be raised under the present system to a strength of from 700,000 to 800,000 men. Nevertheless the ENtre.aou has appointed a com mission, which is devising the means of greatly increasing the strength of the army. The doctrine which now prevails in the higher region of mili tary administration has been set forth in a semi official note of the Mon itear rte Carmfe :—" The " maximum of our war effective has hitherto been " only 600,000 men. It is easy to understand " that it would now be insufficient, and that the " only way of being prepared for every emergency " is to provide a larger reserve than that existing " at present—better drilled, more instructed, and " always avail ble." It is easy to see to what this conviction must lead sooner or later. An increase of the French army is not wanted for self-defence, but to enable the Government to assert its general authority in Europe. For that purpose a mere addition to the National Guard would by no means suffice, nor would the institution of a force like the Prus sian Landwehr meet the case. The recent suc cesses of Prussia, as an able writer in the Edia- i burgh Review has pointed out, were not due so much to the existence of the Landwehr as to a gradual increase of the regular army, dating from a period six years before the battle of Sadowa. We may therefore expect to see the French army increased in the ordinary manner by calling out a large number of men every year by ballot. On the other side of Prussia a similar movement is taking place. The CZAR has been numbering his forces, and has conic to the conclusion that he too, with disorder reigning in his finances, and the moat hazardous social problems still waiting for a solution, must spend more money on the maintenance and equipment of soldiers. For the last ten years no serious attempt has been made to raise the national forces of Russia above the point of depression to which they had fallen at the conclusion of the war with the Western Powers. Nevertheless, during that period the army proved effective for some of the most important purposes of Russian policy. It has brought to a conclusion the long and arduous struggle of the empire with the tribes of the Caucasus, and enabled the Govern ment to push its conquests into Central Asia. Now, however, the Emperor ALEXANDER has sanctioned a general levy of four men per thousand through out the Empire. Russia is to be ready for all con tingencies, although among these resistance to an invader is not for a moment thought of. The pre parations now ordained are only intelligible on the supposition that they are designed to enable the Government to be ready to appropriate some neighbour's territory as soon as a convenient op portunity offers. There is reason to believe that each of the two governments will be sustained to a con sideiable extent by public sentiment in making these additions to its military expenditure. In the case of France we know that the EMPEROR has been urged to proceed in this direction even more by the liberal Opposition, speaking through its acknowledged representatiies, than by his own TttE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENIN more immediate friends.

Site Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 12. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Christian, walked and drove in the grounds this morning. Princess Louise and Princess Beatrice rode in the Home park, and Prince Leopold went out walking. The Duke of Edinburgh, with Prince Christian, went out shooting. The Lord-in-Waiting accompanied their royal highnesses, and Lord Alfred Paget and Lieut. Haig were in attendance. Lord Stanley arrived at the Castle to-day, and had an audience of the Queen, after which the Queen, sworn. panied by Princess Louise, entered the White Drawing Boom, when the following Foreign Ministers were pre. rented to her Majesty by Lord Stanley to deliver their credentials : Count de Vistaliertnosa, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the Queen of Spain. Baron Hochechild, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the King of Sweden. Senor Mosquera, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States of Columbia ; and Mr. Getfcken, Resident Minister from the Lianse Towns. Sir Charles Wyko, K.C.8., had the honour of an in terview with her Majesty on his return from Hanover. The Lord and Groom in Waiting were in attendance. A deputation, consisting of General Johnston, Mr. I Thomas Goodson, Mr. Welbore Ellis, Mr. J. Sotheby, and Colonel the lion. James Macdonald, had an interview with Lord John Manners at the office of her Majesty's Works, yesterday. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat yester , day. The lords present were—Lord Westbury, Sir E. V. Williams, Sir J. Colvile, and Sir Laurence Peel. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial-office from the Governors of Victoria, South Australia, flung Kong, New Zealand, Gibraltar, and Malta. A marriage is, it is stated, arranged between Lady Victoria Cecil, youngest daughter of the Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter, and Captain Hon. William C. Evans-Frekc, second brother of Lord Carberry. The marriage of the Master of Lot-at and Miss Blundell will take place to-morrow. The Duke of Argyll arrived on Saturday at Blois with the duchess and one of his daughters. His grace then travelled by way of Toulouse, Marseilles, and Nice, to Italy, intending to visit Rome. The Star understands that the Attorney-General has decided that the retainer which the Jamaica Commit ' tee offered to Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and which was accepted Iby that gentleman, is informal, and that Mr. Eyre's re tainer is consequently good. The Attorney-General, it is said, has declined to state the grounds on which his de cision is based. Sir H. Bulwer intends, says the Lii.erte, to re_ main for some time in Paris, where lie is engaged in pre . . paring for publication an important work on politics. Al. Charles Duveyrier, whose name was so pro minently before the public some 34 years ago as one of the chiefs of the St. Sinioniaus, died at Paris on Saturday. The pontiff of the sect, Pere Enfantin, died just two years and a half ago. " St. Simonianisin," writes the Paris correspondent of the Ticus, " which filled a large space in the events which troubled the early years of the Orleans government, is now completely forgotten ; and the sur vivors of the enthusiastic Brotherhcsal of Mailmontant, ' whose ambition was to found a new religion and to change I the moral character of the world, have cooled down into ordinary mortals, cured of their ancient fervour, shrewd, , and calculati and worldly ; living like people who OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) ECCLESIASTICAL TOPICS. Observing that the general question out of which the controversy between "S. G. 0." and the Bishop of Salisbury has arisen affects the peace of every district in England, the Times puts it to the bishop and his friends whether they have any hope that a majority of the English people will accept a system which is evidently Identical with that of the church of Rome. They have the letter of several formulas on their side, and in the Arches Court and Privy Council the victory would be uncertain, but they are the paid ministers of a state church, distinctly servants of the state, and as much bound to study the convictions, the habits, and even the prejudices of the country, u if they were political ad ministrators. If after a sufficient trial has been made by a clergyman of any doctrine, practice, or ceremony which he desires to restore, there is such a plain and unmistakable repugnance as to prove to a reasonable man that the in novation will not be accepted, the clergyman is bound to give it up. If hie conscience forbids him to do that, he should no longer minister in the national church. Is it not the case that wherever these extreme views obtain among the clergy in parish churches, there is extreme bitterness and division? Carried yearly further and fur ther, these innovations are producing a serious effect on English society. Among the middle classes there is a growing dislike of the church, which is supposed to be represented by the priestly propaganda. A religious census taken at the next decennial period would show the extent of this movement. Among the more cultivated class there is a growing weariness and indifference with regard to all church questions. Men of intelligence hold them selves apart from the futile disputes, the narrow ecelesias. ticism, the frivolous tastes of the clergy. The end is not difficult to see. The bishops may one day awaken to the _ _ discovery that the numerical majority of English pe-ple I have become dissenters ; that among the great number of those who go to church there is no zeal for their creed or sympathy with its preachers ; and that the intelligent laity, who always had • kindly feeling for the church, have come to regard it as an institution which has had its day, and for the maintenance of which no man need bestir himself. The Daily Nru•sreturna to the judgment of Lord RomillY I in the case of the Bishop of Natal, questioning whether his lordship has quite accurately estimated the real character of the judgment of the Privy Council in the =lse of " Long r. the Bishop of Cape Town," and in the case of " The Bishop of Natal r. the Bishop of Cape Town." As the Dailp News reads the matter the Queen as Head of the 'Church of England, may nominate bishops, who, when consecrated according to its customs, are true bishops of the whole church, in whatever part of the world they may be. But since the Head of the Church cannot create dioceses in England without the assent of the legislature, neither can she in the colonies, having independent legis latures, except by assent of the members of the church. This assent, however, will give to the bishop, and to any so-called metropolitans, all the powers necessary for the performance of their Christian functions, and with such powers the subscribers to the fund for their support may reasonably be inspected to be contented. To the Tdefsruph the only possible solution of the ritualistic controversy seems to lie, either in a submission t.) the claims of the high church party, or in a secession of the members of that body who should deliberately elect to abide by their extreme tenets. The present state of things in the established church is an opprobrium to the states manship of the establishment, which should hold itself specially responsible to discover those defects in the human part of the ecclesiastical institution that give occa sion for doubt and dispute, with a view to devise a practical remedy. For it is tolerably certain that if those who have at heart the stability of the national church and the main tenance of its sway could devise any amendment which should terminate so disastrous a warfare, their present ment would have a ready support from the Lords and Commons in parliament assembled, and from the vast bulk of society.

NOVEMBER 13,' 1866. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THE MOLEST OF STUDENTS IN PARIS• . The Paris correspondent of the indepeadante says : There are so many reports in circulation about the stu doubt who have been arrested that I shall abstain from repeating them. I will only say that if some of those who were at first arrested have been set at libuty, a larger number has been arrested within the last two days amongst various classes in the same part of the city. Amonpt the students arrested the following names are men. I tinned : Jamas*, whose father is a magistrate ; Levrault, whose father was =humidor in Naples in 1848 ; and Livallee, son of rich merchant of Bordeaux. It is said that in consequence of information ooming from abroad the police are on the trios of a society which is connected with the Working-men's Association of Geneva. But this is very unlikely, and we must wait for time to throw more light on an affair which has proba bly more of childishness than culpability about it. DESERTERS FROM THE ROMAN LEGION. It may be remembered that a decided denial was officially given to the intelligence published by the Opinion Nationale in a letter from Viterbo concerning the foreign legion. The Toulonnais now contains a communication from Marseilles, thus conceived : The affair of the soldiers of the legion of Antibes has greater gravity than the journals of Paris attribute to it. These men not only would not recognise the papal flag and displayed that of France, but they considered it an insult to become the soldiers of the Pope. Some have deserted and crossed the frontier into Italy, the others have mutinied and demanded to be sent back to France. Two hundred and sixty soldiers and non-commissioned officers of this select corps arrived at Marseilles on the morning of the Bth. As soon as they disembarked they were conducted to Fort St. Nicholas, where they await the orders of the Minister of War, to whose jurisdiction, how ever, they had named to be subject. A letter from Viterbo, in the Journal de Brux elles, a religious journal, contains the following : The revolutionary organs are making a great event of the desertions which have taken place among the soldiers of the legion of Antibes, in garrison here. The fact un fortunately cannot be denied ; it exists, but not to the extent stated by those journals. Up to the present day, sixty-four soldion have abandoned the pontifical flag, to pose over to the Italians. Their defection is said to have been purchased at a high price by the revolutionists of Viterbo. But there is reason to hope that the measures adopted by Colonel d'Argy, as well as a crime committed by the malcontents of Viterbo on a soldier of the legion, have decidedly put an end to that state of things. (REUTER'S TELEGRA3IB.) FRANCE. PARIS, Nov. 13. The examination by the juge &instruction of the students who were arrested on Wednesday last is concluded. The charge established against them is not that of holding an illegal meeting, but of belonging to a secret society. THE YELLOW FEVER ON BOARD THE ATRATO. souniAmrTow, Nov. 13. Dr. Wiblin, superintendent of quarantine in this port, who proceeded to London yesterday morning for the purpose of having an interview with the Lords of the Privy Council, returned yesterday evening, and their lordships' de cision is that the specie, after fumigation, may be landed, but that the Atmto and pas sengers shall be sent to the Motherbank for three complete days from the last attack, and where it is possible she may be further detained in the event of any fresh case occurring on board. Dr. Wiblin proceeds to the Atrato this morning, and after the specie is transferred to the steam tender will then enforce their lordships decision by ordering the ship to the Motherbank. AMERICA.

The sums thus temporarily exported cannot interfere with the circulation when th e metallic stock of the country is so large. During the month of September a considerable quantity of foreign grain had been introduced into France, including upwards of 800,000 bushels of wheat and nearly nine million pounds of rice. The improvement in the tone of the Bourse con tinues, and there is a general tendency to a rise in all kinds of securities, notwithstanding the opposi tion encountered at the opening this morning. Of course attention was principally directed to the Credit Mobilier, which rumour now pretends will pay not only the interest, almost despaired of at one time, but also a dividend. There is a fresh rise of 10fr. and 12fr. 50c. on money and time bargains in those shares, and the Mobilier Eapagnol, for a reason unknown even to the dealers, made an advance of 22fr. 50c. and 21fr. 25c. There is an immense activity, and everything promises a renewal of affairs, but this promise may be as fallacious as were the symptoms of improvement in September, for no reason is assigned for the movement, unless it be the pro posed new emission of debentures by the Com pagnie Immobiliere.

The Paris correspondent of the indipendanee has the following :—" On Thursday last a slight operation was performed on the Emperor. It was quite successful, his Majesty not being under the necessity of remaining in bed fora single moment, and being in fact able to walk better immediately after. Dr. Goyon, who was sur geon to Louis Philippe, was the operator. The Emperor desired to show his gratitude for the service done him, but Dr. Goyon, with an honourable feeling which does him credit, would accept nothing.
